gas jet was wide open and the deadly
fumes filed the room. Sev2rSon was
hauled ont into the fresh air and again
told how TO manipulate the gas. The
clerk went back to his desk. but the
eve r-Vigilant bell-GOy had his curiosity
aroused, and he s0Ol put in al appear

formation that SeVerSOn was not III his
room and could not be found. With a
sigh the clerk took scout around the
building, and finally located Severs0n
at the bottom OF the stairs reading TO
the basement. He lay with his head in
pile of sand. How he came there ne
could not tell. He was escorted back to
his ROOM and the weary night clerk fell
asleep himself.

bed shut up like clam shell, and Mr.
Taylor was made prisoner. 1t was no
easy job to eXtricate him. for the hinges

Trust Collateral Notes to
Fund the Floating Debt
May Be Issued.
st. Paul & Northern Pacific

Security.
New Canadian Line Said to
Be a Northern Pacific
Enterprise.

NEW YORK, March ia meeting Of
the directors of the Northern Pacific
railroad will be held on Tuesday next
to consider a plan for funding the float
ing debt of, the company amounting, as
stated by its officers, to s9,0O0,OO0, in
stead. as heretofore proposed, of selling
for that purpose the stock held in the
treasury of controlled road, the St.
Paul d Northern Pacific. Henry Vii
lard, who is now at Asheville, n. e..
will probably return in time to attend
the meeting. The idea is to issue col
lateral trust notes, as the Union Pacific
railroad did, to provide for its floating
debt. These notes would be made for
five years, with the privilege of redeem
ing them earlier if the company should
find itself able to do so. The ST. Paul
d Northern Pacific stock might be used
as the collateral.

NI'LEOD'S REMOVAL.
One of the Bondholders Says 1t
Will BE Insisted On.

will Be Insisted On.
NEW YORK, March III. Edward
Simmons, the chairman of the commit
tee of the general mortgage bondholders
of the Reading road, said today:
1.-THE removal of President A. A. Nc
Leod as one of the receivers will be in
sisted upon in the interest OF the prop
erty. MIR. Mcleod has shown that he is
not proper person to have directing
hand in its affairs. We do not want TO
see receivers certificates put out which
will be a lien ahead of the general mort
gage, and we intend to prevent their
issue. We are not opposed to MIR. Nc
Leod as an individual, but as manager
of Reading"
committee of the bOndhOlders, said:
I'VE do not intend to proceed for the
removal of Mr.. Mcleod. | do not see
any necessity for such step. The con-
dition of the Reading is by no means
helpless. Mr.. Mcleod is a poor tinan-
cier, but from all can learn is good
man in the physical operation of rail-
road. He would make first rate super
intendent or general manager. In
handling the finances of the Reading
he made a serious mistake of skating OIL
the thin ice. Had he borrowed money
on time instead of on call, he would
have been all right"
PHILADELPHIA, March II. - The
Pennsylvania Company for Insurance

trustee for holders for Philadelphia &

petition IN the United States circuit
court today praying that the court make

WILLIAM HENHY's PRIDE.
1t Would Not Let Him Sign Those
Resolutions.

Resolutions.
Yesterday was the last day under the
law for the approval by the mayor of
the resolutions passed at the last meet
Ing of the council. The mayor did not
sign the resolutions, and they will be
allowed TO become operative without
his signature. They will be published
in regular form early next week, and
that will settle it. Mayor Eustis
still pretendS to think that
the action of the council
last Friday night was illegal. 1t is
whispered that he has evolved a plan
for testing the legality of the councils
action, the cases to be carried to the
supreme court If necessary. The war
ANTS for the payment of claims against
the city will be drawn in accordance
with the councils resolutions, and then
steps win be taken to prevent paym ent.
This is said to be the plan. 1t does not
seem plausible. 1t will take money to
carry this fight through the courts.
Mayor Eustis must put up the money if
the fight 90 on. He is almost entirely
alone in the fight now. The best law
yers have said the councils action was
legal. 1t is not likely that many
Republicans will be found ready
to cOntribute funds to crafty the
stubborn mayors within. A large sec
ton of his party lays the blame for the
oyerturning in the council at his door
anyhow. Ever since he went into Gfhce
he has shown disposition TO dictate to
every department of the city govern
ment. The council grew tired and
slipped from under his thumb.
1t looks, anyhow, as if the mayor
were weakening. Yesterday President
Kiichli called on him at his invitation.
They spent some time talking over
council matters. Neither would say
much about it, but it was learned that
the mayor wanted to patch up peace.

FLETCHER DOESN'T WORRY
He Says MatsOn's Charges Are
All Unf,unded.

All
II. f. Fletcher. of Fletcher Bros,
seems not at all disturbed by the
charges made against him and his firm
by William S. MatsOn's application for
a receiver for the Green Mountain
Ranching company. Over a year ago,
he says, the stockholders were notified
that many debts were outstanding
against the company, and that 1t would
be necessary to issue bonds to take them
up. He says further that Mr.. MatSOn
came To Minneapolis FOR the express
purpose of having those bonds placed
in the hands of an Eastern company of
which Mi. MatSUn was president, for
negotiation. He says the Indebtedness
against the company is due Fletcher
Bros, because they gave their personal
paper when payments became due as
long us they could stand it. When they
became unable to hold up the inStitu-
ton unaided they decided to issue
bonds. they to take part of them on the
basis of the percentage OF stock held.
Il am not accustomed TO trying in the
newspapers causes pending in court"
said Mr.. Fletcher yesterday, land at
this time will only say that every
charge, allegation, or inSinuatiOn coll
tanned III the complaint III ChlS matter,
that involves any fraud, misconduct or
Acknowledgement in connection with the
affairs of the Green Mountain Stock
RanchiDg company, by Fletcher Bros,
myself individually and any of the dI-
Tectors OF officers OF the company, is
absolutely without foundation in fact,
as will be made apparent at the proper
time and place."
Others of the parties interestedfn the
suit begun by MatsOn were seen yester-
day. They united in asserting that the
charges set up in MatSOn'S petition for
a receiver were false in every particu-
lar. They say they will be fully able
to establish their untruthfulneSS when
the case gets into court for trial.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO
LOOK AFTET THE OLD.
GRAVE YARD.

Your Committee heretofore ap.
pointed to look after the old Grave
Yard, would respectfully report,
that there was raised for the pur-
pose of cleaning the grounds last
summer, the sum of 1884, all Of
which was used, which gave the
premises a much better appearance
but there ought to be at least 500.
expended in repairing fences,
cleaning out weeds and noXious
grasses, and otherwise putting the
graves of our fathers who sleep
there in such condition that we
will not feel ashamed to have the
most fastidious stranger visit them
Now that our place of worship
has been removed, there is danger
that the grounds will be neglected
more and more.
! Your Committee would recon
mend that steps be taken to raist
a permanent fund of $4,000, tn,
interest from which would keel
the grounds when once in goot
repair, in a fairly good condition.
Respectfully submitted,
