Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 30.-A bomb
exploded in the camp of the Merritt's
this morning. George r. Baxter, attor-
ney for Donald Grant. D. w. Grant and
Albert S. Chase, served upon the officers
and directors of the Duluth, MeSaba q
Northern Railroad company an order to
show cause why an injunction should
not be granted temporarily enjoin-
ing defendants from entering into
certain contracts with the Amer
lean Steel Barge company and
9. W. Wetmore, representing the Rock
afellers. whereby the company agrees
to issue to said Wetmore S2,000,000 worth
of thirty-year bonds Of the company at
per cent interest on so per cent of said
amount. Tie complaint goes OH to eX-
plain the terms of the contract further,
and closes with request for perma-
nent Injunction. The papers were
served in the office of the directors Of
the railroad company just before a
meeting at which the contract was to
be signed. A. ID. Thomson, represent
ing the American Steel Barge company,
was also present. The date fixed for
the hearing OH the order 10 show cause
why the temporary injunction should
not be granted is Wednesday morning,
Feb. l, at 10 o'clock, before Judge Otis,
in ST. Paul. The court also grants
preliminary injunction forbidding the
closing of the contract until after the
hearing.
The substance of the plaintiffs COM
plant, which tells the whole Story from
their standpoint, is as follows:
After reciting the facts of the incOr-
tI,,,r bal1D ,latto NC
that the defendant railway company
entered in to contract with the Duluth
IL Winnipeg road. whereby all the ore
shall be shipped via the latter road for
ten years, thus giving the defendant
road an outlet for all its frelghts des-
tined for points OIL the great lakes, "on
terms fair and advantageous to said de-
PENDANT company" The compliments
further state that "When the output of
ores shall cease, there will be no neceS-
sity for road to transport the same,
and it is not eXpedient to go to the eX-
pense of parallel road as hereinafter
mentioned"
The complaint further recites that
the contract entered into with the steel
barge company and G. w. Wetmore is
greatly Instantaneous TO the railroad
company, and that the barge company's
rates for carrying the ore are eXorbi-
tant. 1t also accuses the in Individual d.
rectors, Leonidas and Alfred Merritt
and WV. Henry, with being interested
personally i'll the matter, having been
promised loan from Mr.. Wetmore of
S2OO,O 900 if they would put through the
deal. They are also accused of being
personally interested in land at the
termini of the road. The excitement
among the stockholders is intense. and
the feeling between the Grant faction
and the Merritts is very bitter. The
giSt of the whole matter seems to be
that the Standard Oil company ard the
Minnesota Iron company have engaged
in fight to the finish for the ownership
of the Mesaba range.

BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 30.-The sena-
torial fight took novel and ridiculous
turn today. Sixteen Republicans were
Still against the caucus nominee, and
consequently the Republicans could not
elect. The Democrats and Popuiists
could not agree on Benton, as it was
rumored they would yesterday, and
there now seems no likelihood of their
agreeing again. In fact, several indie
pendents now declare their preference
for a Republican if they cannot elect
one Of their number, and they have
about concluded that the Democrats are
bound to have Democrat or moth
ing. Today Oh the second ballot
Logan, Independent, voted for Mrs.
Kingman, wife of one of the Republican
candidates. for United States senator.
The Democrats then began voting tor
Mrs. Mccormack, wife of the state SEN
ator and territorial secretary under
Cleveland. Several Populists joined in,
and she received 80 votes. Two other
ladies received | vote each. The affair
caused much merrment here, but out
side the state, where it is not known
that the members were simply playing
horse" the candidacy of Mrs. McCor
mack is seriously believed, and several
kilograms have been received this after
noon from Kansas, Wyoming and other
parts of the country. Mrs. Lease sends
congratulations from Kansas. Casey
received SO votes on the thirtieth ballot.
Mrs NJ l.. Mccormack, who received
thirty votes in the joint convention for
senator today, is the wife of State Sen
ator Mccormack, of Grand Forks. She
is lady of fine presence and manners,
of manifest intelligence and shrewd-
ness, and is thirty-one years of age.
Her birthplace is st. Paul. her father
being Morris Lyons, well-known cap
italiSt and Old-timer of that city. Mrs.
Mccormack has been resident of the
state since her marriage, eleven years
ago. During Senator McCOrmack'S
term of three years and half as secre-
tary of the territory she was with him
in Bismarck, and she has not missed
session of the legislature since 1893.
This experience has given her an eX-
tended acquaintance with people from
all parts OF the state, and explains her
thoroughly merlted popularity.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
One Killed and Several Were In
jured.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 3O.-An explosion
took place this morning in one of the
dry houses of the large fireworks es-
adjustment of Diehl d Co., located at
Reading, Hamilton county, by which
almost the entire place was wrecked.
The fire department succeeded in keep
ing the fire from the powder and
thus prevented another explosion.
The fire has been quenched
and the employees have all been ac-
counted for. Henry Horn is dead. Gus
Germe is fatally injured; Eugene En-
linger and Henry Koerster Jr..serOusly.
and all the others, except Mary Seigler,
are more or less hurt by flying glass or
splinters, but none of them are seriously
injured. The earlier estimates of the
loss were greatly exaggerated. The
buildings burned are very cheap affairs,
and the stock destroyed is fortunately
small. There is no insurance. 1t is
probable the loss will not exceed
500 0OO

not send it of his own accord, for, so far
as his personal inclination goes, he

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3d. National

city from Lakewood this morning, and
when seen by a reporter this afternoon
and asked whether he had seen Presi-

OKIE COMPLIMENTED.
No Choice in the Wyoming Sena-

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Jan. 80. The state
legislature met in joint session today
took one ballot and adjourned till TO-
morrow. Of the Republicans, 16 out Of
the % voted for Hon. j. B. Dixie. Mr..
Dixie was selected week ago by Demo
Gratis, and the Republicans wanted 10
compliment the gentleman. Mr.. Okie
refused to allow his name to be
further considered, because he is
only twenty-eight years old, and
consequently disqualified as United
States senator. Gov. Bakers name
has not been presented, and his
strength is still an unknown quantity.
A committee of Democrats called on
Mr.. New today and asked him to torego
his personal ambition and assist i'll the
election of some other Democrat. He
refused to do so, saying he was entitled
to caucus nomination, and if no cleo
ton took place Gov. Osborne had prom
ised to appoint him.

MISSING MAN FOUND.
Missing Nebraska Man Found in
Hospital.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 30.-William B.
Austin, chief engineer of the city hall,
disappeared three mOnths ago from his
post. Today w. D. Percivalle, passing
through the county hospital, recognized
him as one of the patients. He was
crazy and completely changed. He had
been brought to the hospital month
ago, but was not recognized. Austin is
well known as writer on the applica-
ton OF steam, and is the inventor of the
sliding valve. When the national asso-
citation of engineers met in their last
annual convention, he was given editor
ial charge of the associations monthly
publication. Until the upper Missouri
river was abandoned by steamboats,
Austin had charge of the steamer Tiger,
plying between st. Louis and Omaha,
and is we'll known among steamboat
men on the Mississippi. His actions
after leaving his position so suddenly,
and up to the time he was taken to the
asylum, are shrouded in mystery.
