HIS SERVANTS ARE ANSWERED..
They Took Out Their Wages by Use
of Piano and Car
riages.
~ New Way to Pay Old Debts" In
PRODUCED Into THIS
city.

An interesting case has been pending
before Justice Races court for several
days, being one in which Il man of all
work and two female servants brought
complaint against II. p. Rolfe for non
payment Of wages. This complaint has
been limited at before, but the extraor-
binary character Of the defendants an
swers has made a fuller report neces-
sary.
The complaints of the three servants
alleged that certain wages were due
which were not paid on demand. The
answers of the defendant which follow
show that the servants were entirely
mistaken on this score. The man had
promised to do two mems work, and
failed to fulfill the contract, which
should certainly relieve the defendant
from the necessity of paying his wages.
The women played on the piano and
rode in the carriage. which is certainly
as good as cash in hand. But read the
of the defendant, which are as
strong as proofs of holy writ:

DIED FROM MORPHINE.
Travelling Agent shortell Dies by

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 29.-Thomas L..
Shortell, travelling passenger agent of
the Northern Pacific railroad, was found
In an unconscious condition in Forest
park this morning and taken to the dis
pensary, where it was announced that
he was suffering from morphine poison
ing. DR.. Fitzpatrick applied the
stomach pump, administered antidoteS
and worked for several hours to bring
the patient around, but to no effect. He
sank into cOmatOSe conditions, from
which it was impossible TO arouse him.
From the diSpensary he was removed
TO the city hospital, where he died. The
case is very mysterious one. No one
VINO can advance any explanation of
why the deceased should have taken the
drug can be found. There was no letter
on his person to indicate that he had
contemplated ending his life, and there
Is nothing upon which 10 base a theory
of suicide. Many of his friends assert
their belief that he took morphine for
some medicinal purpose, and took too
much by accident. Mr.. ShorteIl left

health and spirits. He did not 20 to his

Conditions OF the Growing Cereals
Throughout the Country.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-The crop
conditions are sufficiently indicated i'll
the following statement, without giving
the special telegraphic reports.
Fol the week ending Aug. %. hot and
dry weather continued in the Ohio val
ley, where crops have been injured in
many sections by continued drought.
Frosts were reported in Wisconsin Mon
day night, which must have caused
some damage. The weather was more
favorable in the Northwest. Crops
were generally improved in the states
to the west of the upper Mississippi,
while the conditions were unfav-
Orable in the, states of the
Ohio valley ard Tennessee. In
the southern Rocky mountain
districts the season is reported as the
most satisfactory for years, while in the
northern Rocky mountain districts the
ground is dry, crops need rain, and the
ranges are III poor CT ndititlon. The
week was dry throughout the central
valleys. except in portions of Kansas
and Nebraska. Over the greater por-
ton of the region named the crops are
much in need of rain. ana especially
from the lake region southwark to the
east gulf coast. The West Indian
hurricane, which passed inland from
Florida to Northern New England,
caused great damage to growing crops
in Eastern Georgia. South Carolina and
portions of North Carolina and Virginia.
Generous rains occurred in North Da-
kota and portions of Minnesota, but the
week was drier than usual from the
Rocky mountains westward to the
Pacific coast.

1t Is a Question.

A local railroad man yesterday, in
speaking of the great transcontinental
ines, propounded a query which the
reporter was unable TO answer. He
said: Now, why should the Canadian
Pacific. built through the Canadian
Northwest by foreign government as
military necessity. and which runs for
about 1000 miles through country
practically uninhabited, with only small
towns along its line, save only Winnl-
peg, dip down into the United States
and interfere with the traffic OF lines
governed by federal and state laws?
Should not congress take steps to so
control its branches chartered in this
country as to prev, NJ any demoraliza-
ton in the affairs OF our own roads?"
1t would seem as though these were
important questions, and that they sug-
gest at once probable future difficulties
and also remedial action by the govern
meut

CANNOT AFFORD TT.
Railroads Refuse to Return to
Lower Rates.


Lower Rates.
A refusal has been made to the re-
quest of number of prominent cattle
men preferred to certain railroad traffic
managers for lower tariff on cattle
carried by rail from the ranges of
Montana to the Eastern market. The
refusal is based on the statement that
the roads cannot afford to make lower
rate. They claim that the lowered
rates allowed several years ago to assist
in alternating the losses in the winters
of 1867 were merely temporary. Since
that time 1T is claimed that the lower
tariffs have not been restored, as the
service required is now more exacting
than then, patent stock cars having
been adopted aud the expense of hand
ling stock has been materially in
creased. The letter of refusal bears
the signature of the traffic managers of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
as well as those of the freight agents of
the Burlington & Missouri and the
Fremont d Elkhorn roads.
