Leak in q Postal Car,

The mail car on the c., n. & St. P.
coming into the city Tuesday evening
seems to have had leak in it. At
least, one OF the Moline mail sacks
dropped out of 1t in some unexplained
manner, and was picked up along the
track Yesterday morning by William
Schultze. who lives in the east end, while
he was on his way to his work. he
found it, or rather piece of it, about
five blocks east Of the Twenty-third
street telegraph station, Moline. He
also found g portion of the mail that
had been found in it, and handed his
find in at the postofflce. A little later
Charles Johnson, of the Moline postoffice
force, went up and walked a long dis
lance along the track. He succeeded in
finding the balance of the bag, very bad
ly torn up as though it had been dragged
some distance By the train. He also sue
ceeded in finding more of the mail, some
OF it valuable. 1t is not likely that very
much of the mail is lost, but some OF il

Logging Notes.

II there were reason for anxiety con.
corning full cut of logs 10 the Missis-
sippi woods this winter, says the Lum>
herman, the loggers would he complain
ing OF the weather that has prevailed for
the past two weeks. Deep snow and
constant storms added to the severe cold
has made work slow for man and beast
During the last two weeks less work hiss
been cone than during any equal period
since Dec. l. But no great complaint is
heard from any point, for snow and
frost now insures q lengthening OF
the logging season to April or
near that date. and very few
camps will care to prolong the season
beyond that date. The snow is from
two to three feet deep over almost the
whole field Of operations on the great
river. This will 60 far toward bringing
the logs down when the spring thsw
comes.
According to the figures of the lumber
cut in the white pine district the past
season, Michigan still leads rs 3 lumber

Michigan approximately $500 900. 900

CRUELTY TO COLTS.
Two Animals Die From Neglect
and Exposure.
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS STARTED

Martin Wright and C. Peterson, of Black
Hawk, Made Defendants to Grave
zens-Most Inhuman If the Allegations
be True.
A case of alleged cruelty TO animals
has just come to light in which, if the a.
legations are correct, the parties charged
are deserving of the most extreme CEN
sure. In Magistrate Wivilrs court suits
have been filed by S. B. Heudren and
Fred Bruhn against Martin Wright and
G Peterson for damages OF $500 for the
death OF two colts. aged respectively
4 aLd 2 years, and damages of s75 to
another horse. all of which were being
wintered on the defendants farms State
warrants charging them with cruelty to
animals were also sworn out, and the
prosecution will begin st once.
The Cause of the Action.
The reason of the damage suits and
criminal proceedings grows out OF the
fact that last summer the compliments
in the case ,Messrs. Henderson and Bruhn
took two colts and another horse out to
the farms Of Messrs. Wright and Peter
son, beyond Milan to have them taken
care of, sndduring the summer and fall,
it is said. that the horses got along nicely
and the owners were we'll satisfied with
| their treatment. 1t is further
alleged that during the fall the two ow. =
ers went out and arranged to have u c
horses taken care OF during The winter,
agreeing to pay a certain sum for the
same. Surprising that the horses were
Of course receiving the proper attention
they paid no further attention. except to
inquire occasionally. when they were told
that the horses were getting along al
right.
Claims They Were Starved
Finally the colts both died, and aftel
investigating the case the complainant

were simply starved to dea,h. A pos
mortem examination revealed the fact
that the stomschs OF the animsls
contained nothing but bits o. bark snC
twigs that they had nibbled from trees
During ali the cdlu weather of Decem
Der, January and the present month
the colts were in 80 open pasture, with
no covering or shed of any kind &c
protect them from the storm, and we'e
not given anything whatever TO ea:, al
though several stacks of hsy were
within a few hundred feet o. where the
horses were pastured. Neighbors state
that it was pitiful to sec the poor
beasts walking around aud around in q
circle as horses will do when hungry,
and there was e good deal of talk
among residents in that vicinity Of
breaking the fences down aud allow ing
the animals to get at the hay near by
| The stories that are being told of how
lnhumsnly the dumb animals were
treated are even worse than here stated
and il they are true an example should
be made OF men who have no more re
gard for Gods creatures than to allow
them to be exposed a winter like tbs
present one without food or shelter.

greatest argument for the srousing of
Davenport enthusiasm is found, sitter all,
in the opposite direction the coming of

Particulars cannot be too intimately re-

that the assurance Of the construction of

surance that the ] s. E main line will
enter this city; in fact all three OF the

this latter assurance is official, but il

The Supreme Court Nomination.

The Supreme Court Nomination.
The President has shown himself
broader blinded man than many have sup
posed hi TO be by nominating democrat
for justice OF the supreme court to
ill the vacancy caused by the death
OF Mr.. Justice Lamar. 1t was quite
genera ly believed that he would nominate
a rep Iblican, and it was thought that
either Judge Pardee or Judge Speer would
get the coveted place.
Il il but right. however, that a southern
man aud democrat should have the place.
There is now no distinctly southern man on
the supreme bench, Mr.. Justice Harlan be-
ing western, rather than a southern, man,
And there are only two democrats. Chief
Jrstics Fuller and Mr.. Justice Field.
The nomination of Judge jackson will
give very general satisfaction. He is a man
0t extremely agreeable manners and high
character. While he has not been regarded
as a man Of exceptionally great ability he
is well equipped in every way for the high
place to which he has been nominated.
When he was a member of the United
States Senate he was very popular with his
associates, and was held i'll high esteem by
them. His record as judge is without a
flaw. Indeed, the members Of the bar of
Tennessee always have a kindly word to say
Of him. His treatment of them is
courteous, and his rulings and decisions
command respect. Thoroughly conscien-
tious, his aim is always to deal with every
interest with absolute impartiality and
justice.
There is no doubt that his nomination
will be confirmed. There Is nothing that
can be said against him, and the fact that
he was once a member Of the Senate will
help to dlsarm any opposition to him that
may crop out.
1t may be said that the President would
not have nominated a democrat if he had
thought a republican could have been con-
1rmed, but whether he would or not will
never probably be known. 1t is only fair
TO the President to assume that he nomi-
mated democrat and a southerner because
he thought a southern democrat ought to
have the place.

Direct Trade.


The announcement was published IN the
MORNING NEWS day or two ago that Col
l. ". Avery had received a cablegram from
Mr.. K. 5ando, of London, that the English
capitalists he represents had closed aud
signed a contract for the steamships that
are to be employed in direct trade between
South Atlantic seaport and Europe.
Mr.. Sando's company have confidence in
the success of their proposed undertaking. IL
they had not they would not have entered
into a contract for the necessary steam
ships.
And there are good reasons why they
should have confidence in it. A very large
section OF country will be tributary to their
proposed steamship line. 1t is a section of
country that is being rapidly developed.
The volume and value OF its exports are
immense, and it imports large quantity
and great variety of merchandise.
Mr.. Saudo's company purposes to control
trade to a very great extent They will
have bank with a capital Of 81, OOO 900 at
its South Atlantic terminal. With such
financial resources they will be In position

The outlook, therefore, for the direct
trade movement is a very bright one In
deed, it can be stated that It is now certain
that it will be inauGurated. The south is
on the eve Of an activity and prosperity
such as she has never yet known. Her
people will be encouraged to make new and
greater efforts for the material greatness OF
their section by the pleasing prospect that
is opened up to them,
MIR. Sando, it is expected, will be guest

city this month. He will bring with him,

company ara now in such a shape that he
can talk freely and positively in respect to
them. He will be welcome and interest,"
