not economically managed, and for this
reason. and this alone, it eventually
carried its owner into bankruptcy. He
then began bis career over again. and
in course of time paid his debts and
made another fortune. In 1876 he made
a tour of the south. which was a tri-
umphal progress. Thousands of spec
tators f1ocked to see him in every city
that he visited. In San Francisco.
where he acted for eight weeks, he
drew upward of $4,000, a total of re-
ceiptS till then unprecedented on the
dramatic stage. In 1880, and again in
1882, he visited Great Britain, and he
acted with brilliant success in London
and other cities. He went to Germany
in the autumn of 1882, and was there
received with extraordinary enthusi-
asm. In 1883 he returned home and
resumed his starring tours of America

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Bitter Contest Over the Minneapolis
& st. Louis Railway.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 1.-THE great
contest over the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis Railway which has been expected
ever since the appointment of Receiver
Truesdale is on, and the war for pos
session between the Rock Island com
pany and the New York holders of
mortgage claims will be one of the
bitterest in the history Of American
railways.
Besides the fight with the Rock Is
land, there is a conflict between the
mortga ge-holders themselves. The
amount involved is $9,00O,0OO. about
So 10000 of which is in the hands of
one faction, and 100000 in the hands
Of another.
Over thirty lawyers are engaged in
the case, and the first of the argu-
ments was completed before Judge
LOchren last evening. Two leading
attorneys of New York represent Henry
Seibert. of New York, who is the tllls
tee for a number of bondholders ana
persons who hold a mortgage of ST.
100000. This mortgage was given TO
the road or some of it's branches. The
principal holders of these securities are
representatives of the Rock Island
Road, which sought to get control of
the Albert Lea Route or the Minneapo-
lis and St. Louis Road, and by this
means secure an entrance to the North
west.
1t is claimed that the present action
by Seibert as trustee, brought to fore
close the mortgage for S4,O00,0OO, is to
wreck the road and to turn it over to
the control of the Rock Island COM
pany. Besides the Rock Island people,
the holders of the 100000 mortgage
include the Farmers Loan and Trust
company Of New York, which has a
claim of S1,1OOOOO, and the Fidelity
Insurance and Trust company of Phila-
delphia, which has lien for $4S9,OOO
Among the holders of securities is the
New York Life Insurance company
The New York Mutual Life company
and several other concerns also have
large holdings Of securities.
The fact that the Minneapolis & St
Louis road is in the hands Of receiver
and has not paid cent interest on
bonds for four years is exercising all
Of the holders. 1t is apparent that the
Rad is paying, however, from the fact
that Receiver Truesdale has nearly
81 OOh.UuU in cash in the treasury. The
Rock Island interests claim that they
should have this money to apply on
their debt, but this proposition is resist
ed by other interests.

Want No Change in the Confession.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 20 An inn
portant matter before the annual
meeting of the ST. Louis Presbytery
was the reading of the report of the
committee to which were referred the
overtures of the general assembly on
the revision of the Westminster cou-
fession. The report was against re-
vision. The committee saw no reason
WHY the proposed change should be
made. and although they were graft
fed to see that in some respects the
general assembly adhered to the
ancient doctrines of the Presbyterian
Church they were panied to note that
in some respects the overtures be-
traved a manifest deterioration.

THE FATHER OF MANY ILLS.

Constipation leads to multitude of
physical troubles 1t is generally the
result Of carelessness or indifference to
the simplest rule of health. Eugene
Mckay, of Brantford, Ont, writes:
II had for several years been a suf-
ferer from constipation, had taken a
great many dlffedent remedies, some
of which did me good for a time, but
only for a time, then my trouble came
back worse than ever. | was induced
by a friends, whom Brandredth's Pills
had benefited, to try them. Took two
each night for week, then one every
night for about six weeks. Since that
time have not experienced the slight
est difficulty whatever, and my bowels
move regularly every day. believe
firmly that for sluggishness of the
bowels and b'liousness Brandreth's s
Pills are far superior to any other.
