OF fraud against the officers of that COR

Chicago Terminal properties unique in
their Way and CT very great value to
the Northern Pacific, aud he thought at
the time that 81 ,00O, 600 was fair price
for them.
Nothing was said to him about the
cost of ownership of the property either
i'll OF out OF the board. He had several
conversations with MIR. Willard about
the matter and was always influenced
by Oakes' opinion.
He supposed at the time that the
properties acquired at that time would
be complete and required no additions
E. ID. COmlngS gave testimony that lie
graded about forty-siX miles of the
R0cky Fork at cost OF $50, 600 in 1857

the grading, and the eHgineea made all
estimate that S27, 900 would be required

Secondhand rails were taken from
the Northern Pacific road at $50 per ton.

ENGLISH BISHOPS

Make Big Howl Against the Dis.
establishment Of the Church of
Wales.
LONDON, May II. - A manifesto
signed by the English archuiS!lops and
thirty-one bishops has been addressed
to the members of the Church of Eng
land in Wales. The manifesto declares
that the bill for the disestablishment of
the church III Wales, if it should be-
come law. would weaken the unity of
the church and ALLEVIATE the ancient
gifts by which the Service of God and
the pastoral care of the people were
maintained for centuries; That it would
deprive the poor of their legal right to
seats i'll the church, and of the minis.
tration of the clergy to their sick and
dying, and would reduce the Church of
Wales to penury. thereby impeding the
worship of God. The manifesto ap-
peals to the poor and the rich to con-
slider the matter fully, and urges laymsn II
and the clergy TO explain the matter to
the people, though the clergy, it is
added. must refrain from reference to
the bill i'll the pulpit, thus keeping the
house Of God free from contention.
The clergy, however, are instructed to
insert in their services special col
lect for special preservation of the
church. Christian electors are asked to
consider how their vote can preserve
them from an alienation of the rights
enjoyed for ages for Gods service and
for the peoples welfare.
The bill for the diSestablishment of
the church i'll Wales and Monmouth
was introduced in the house of commons
by Home Secretary Asquith on April 26.
The measure provides that the disestab-
lishment shall go into force on Jan. l,
1896. After that date all ecclesiastical
corporations are to be dissolved and all
rights of patronage are to cease. No
new Welsh bishops are to sit in the
house of lords, the ecclesiastical courts
of Wales will no longer have coercive
jurisdiction, and the coiivocation will
not have legal power. The income of
the Welsh church. 1886, 900 yearly, will
be secured for the benefit of Wales.
Mr.. Asquith explained that the funds
released under the bill wonld be devot-
edeto the erection of hospitals and pub
lie halls. to provide dwellings for labor.
ers, to make allotments for technical
education, libraries, museums and other
ecu lar institutions.

known that he handled on an average

appreciated. A committee was sent to
Chicago anG learned that he had disap-
peared from his home and This wife
knew nothing of his whereabouts. His
books and reports were turned over to
the committee, and an investigation of
them and comparison with what
money he had in the bank showed him
TO be square with the order. He was
we'll known in Chicago. and it was
known he handled large sums of money.

HUDSON, Wis, May 17.-At least
$4,000 damage was done in Hudson
and vicinity this morning in thirty mln-
utes. At S O'Clock word was received
that the Willow river mill dams at jew
ett's Mills, BGrkhardt and Greene's
Mills, the last place two miles distant.
had been washed out. Within half an
hour the dam at this point was over
flowed, and the water rushed over the
long stretch like waterfall. 1t soon
undermined the main line of the Omaha
road, which rises thirty feet above the
water. Within half hour 200 feet of
the north track was suspended from the
abutment to the eastern bank. The
county bridge, frame structure, came
down from the upper dam and was fin
ally crushed like all egg she'll at the
tower u,idge. General Superintendent
Scott. Assistant Superintendent Nc
Cabe, Superintendent of Telegraph
Hope and other officials arrived at this
junction and assumed charge. Scott
Immediately directed small army OF
men to cut away the dam at a new point.
While the force was working the sheriff
appeared OH the scene, directing the
men to stop. Mr.. Scott declared the
dam had been deliberately cut by the
mill men in order TO save The mill, and
that the Omaha road was damaged
Sl5.G00 i'll consequence, with traffic sus-
pended for weeks. He promised to
place in the pemtentiary the m"n who
had cut The dam. While the trench WAS
being cut the great stone abutments OH
the main lice, thirty feet high, were
undermined, and fell with n roar, car
rying down both tracks and thousands
Of tons of dirt. The tower foot bridge,
erected at cost of S25.O00. has been
declared unsafe, and the water is grad
ually WORKING around the sides. All
the fish ha:cheries have been swept
away. At Green's mill 200 sacks of
-four went down the stream, with part
of the mill.
Nothing definite can be learned from
above, but it is probable that the
Omaha railway is damaged over S50,0J0,
aid The other damage to MILL men and
fisheries will reach as large an amount,
with the Incidental damages double
that amount.

1t is tittiug that the new and learned
constitutional barrstPrs of the state
should be introduced to all eXpectant
world. and the GLOBE takes pleasure in
recording their names in the above
galaxy that they may be embalmed in
memory long after their learned const,-
tutional record shall have become for
gotten thing of the past.
These learned men, by the accident of
political circumstances having become
members of the ST. Paul assembly, have
risen i'll their mite y. and pronounced
the charter under which they exist un-
constitutional, before which decision it
is expected that bench, bar and popu-
lace will bow in humble submission.
And still these Apostles OF New
Jurisprudence are far from happy.
Whether it is that little Zellomanic.
idealistic incubation hath made them
mad. or whether they apprehend that
their SUDDEN donning of tn, cOnstitu-
tional ermine does not conceal their
braying abilities. are secrets locked in

Nevertheless they are scared. and

The terrible DemOc ats have "several
plans" if We can rely upon the evening
organ, to maintain the law. There is
something really mou strous in the idea
that the great legal minds whose names
are recorded above in big type should
be overru!ed and their opinion placed
in condition OF innocuous desuetude.
One of the plans which these consti-
tutional assemblymen declare through
their organ to be conte mplated is to
actually have the men elected TO the
assembly and the board of aldermen
take their seats. -....
UnEeard of proceeding. Of course
they must have been elected NOT to
serve. And if they should serve, being
majority of both branches. they Will
form trump" council. quutl the organ.
OF course, the majority Of a duly
elected legislative body make "rulnpn

! uine, blowI-in-the-bo:tle crowd is the
minority.
