The Lease of the Old Colony Road to
be settled T0.morrow-The ConsOl-
tdated Road Not Anxious to Secure
she New York and New England.
Tomorrow will probably settle the
question as to whether the Old Colony road
will be operated under lease to the Con-
solidated or not On that date the stock
holders of the former road will meet to
act upon the proposed lease and will either
confirm or repudiate 1t. The directors of
both roads have voted fsvorably on the
question as have also the stockholders of
the Consolidated, and it is generally be
l1eved that the stockholders will ratify the
lease tomorrow. March IA will be held
the annual meeting of the New York and
New England road. The manner in which
the proposed Old Colony lsase is settled
will shape very largely the attitude of the
New Haven road towards the New Eng
land road.
One of the managers esid Saturday that
the New Haven road had taken no action
toward the New England and would not
make any showing at the annual meeting
CT the latter. The same view of the mat
deals considerably in railroad shares He
said:
II don't believe the New Haven road has
any plan to capture the New England at
present. As matter of fact the property
1s too high. On the New York stock ex-
change 800 was asked for the stock yester-
day. hold that the New Haven road
would not care to get possession unless 1t
could secure the stock at about 20. The
common stock is nearly $40, 100000 To
get control of it at 20 would only require
81, OO0s 600. The New England would re
quire several millions of dollars to put the
property in good shape. The New Haven
road and Its friends control the $4,000. 600
of New England second mortgage bonds,
and if there should be any defaulting Of
interest the company could easily come
down on the property. I believe New
England will go lower. There does not
eeem to be much ic tho property for the
New Haven road at above 90 1 don't be-
lieve the New Haven road is buying New
England stock. neither do I belisve that
the company will make any stir at the
New Eugland's annual meeting. But the
future of the New England will be watched
with interest here in Nsw Haven since
quite block OF the common stock and
some Of the bonds are owned here"

Many of to-day's people, young and old,

<auOCIl0r Gut IN SAl0e1e6.
The local railroad office has been ad-
vised that the salaries of all officers and
employees of the Northern Pacific will be
reduced Jan. l, 1894, as follows: All
salaries and wages a%ggregating $50 per
month and less than $75 per month, 5
per cent; aggregating SIS per month and
less than 500 per month, 10 per cent.
A circular has been issued containing
this announcement, by J. w. Kendrick,
general manager for the receivers of the
road.
On August 18th the receivers ordered
a reduction varying from 10 to 20 per
cent. in the salaries of all employees
amount ting to $1,000 per annum or more.
On August 25th the receivers ordered
a further reduction, but after considera.
ton deemed it advisable to defer action
until a more favorable time. The re-
auctions specified were agreed upon at q
meeting of the receivers held October
28th, on account of the great decrease in
the business of the company, which,
coupled with low rates, has resulted in
an enormous loss of revenue. The re-
ceivers regret the present action as much
as any employe will.

He Wrote Threatening Letters to Many
People-Now Under Arrest.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 27.-Charles F..
Blackburn, a mining expert, has been
arrested for sending threatening letters
and postal cards through the mails.
Blackburn is a crank on silver and re-
ligion. For the past three years he has
been writing abusive and threatening
letters to preachers, editors, politicians
and private citizens who disagreed with
him on public or social questions. Over
100 postal cards were written to editors
OF The Post-Intelligencer, most of them
threatening terrible death if the course
OF the paper on the silver question was
adhered to. He also wrote letters to
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle, threatening to kill them. His
favorite expression was: II will kill the
president of the United States, John G..
Carlisle and the editor of The Post-In-
telligencer." Blackburn, when arrested,
did not deny writing the letters, and
said he meant what they contained.

L INCREASING.

Business Improved by Heavier Demands
for Manufactured Goods.
NEW YORK, Nov. FIR. g. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade sayG:
Consumption increases slowly, and all
branches Of business are waiting for its
growth. The railroad earnings for the
month thus far are only $50 per cent less
than those of lost year, the decrease for
the last week being even smaller in
freight earnings.
Trade waits for the revival of indus
tries and the weeks returns respecting
industrial progress are rather conflict
ing. There has been a heavy sale of
cotton goods at very satisfactory prices
and the market has
Decidedly Strengthened
in consequence. Though the production
in this branch is still somewhat less than
it was a year ago, the market for goods
at current prices is strong. In woolens
there is a substantial increase in demand,
Notwithstanding the fact that several
mills, each having orders for !, 900 pieces
or more, have closed, the orders being so
sorted as not to give them profitable en-
ployment. But the sales of wool have
been the largest since September, 1892,
amounting at three chief markets to
8,O25,SOO pounds, against 4,s13,500 for
the same week last year, and while it is
stated that many purchases are of a
speculative character, there is evidence
that large buying by active mills is
Prompted by Increased Orders.
In the manufacture of boots and shoes
the demand employs IN increasing num-
Der Of factories and the orders are in
number about as usual for the season,
though smaller in quantity. The mar
kets for produce have been irregular.
Wheat has advanced 1c, though the re-
ceipts have been 4,300, 900 bushels against
$500, 600 last year and exports from At
lantic points only 600, 900 bushels against
1,9OO,O 900 last year. The corn receipts
are remarkably large, amounting to 81
100000 bushels against 1900, 900 last
year and the price has declined 1c.
There has been a slight decline in oil,
about IA cent in coffee and also in hogs
and $3.50 in pork.
Failures for the week numbered 3S7
in the United States, against $50 last
year, and "a in Canada, against 20 last
year. But the list this week includes
some of more than usual Importance.
For the preceding week the liabilities of
the firms failing amounted to only 49,
see, 49,, against 81, 727,467 the week be-
fore, but the weekly average is far
beyond what it would be in times of
prosperity.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: I notice by various
papers that there is some feeling in our
state, because North Dakota received
but comparatively few awards. But
when we get down to the bottom facts,
it will be discovered our standing is
good in that respect. Most of ours will
be in the form of medals, whilst many
awards to other states will be only d.
plomas. Surely we are at the front for
our soil, which produces the mo l hard"
of this world, gets an award, and we also
received various awards on the fruits
of our lands, as, for instance, on wheat,
peas, beans, potatoes, grasses, woods and
forests seeds, etc.
I was at the big exposition and quite
an observer in various directions, and
made this discovery-that in many ill.,
stances, in various state exhibits, numer-
GUS awards, under the rules, could have
been obtained if proper steps had been
taken, where one or no awards were Sc
sured, much to the disappointment of
those having the matter in hand.
We of North Dakota have reason to be
proud Of our suberb exhibit and num-
erous awards. G. 2. TTUAX.

New Jersey Glassblower Likely to Be
Lynched For Cruelty to a Boy.
GLAssBoRo, N. j., Nov. 27.-Samuel
Jones, a glassblower, became angry at
his boy assistant, and, filling a blow pipe
with molten glass, wound strains of the
hot composition around the lads hands
and wrists. The boy screamed for
mercy, but Jones showed none. Finally
his victim fell fainting. Jones contin-
ued pouring out the melten glass until
the blow pipe was exhausted. The
cooling glass had tightly bound the boys
hands and wrists together. When the
glass was broken flesh fell away with it.
1t is feared the boy will die. Jones is
under arrest. He has been noted for his
ugly temper. The other blowers, who
know from handling the glass the terri
BILE burns caused, threaten to lynch
Jones.
