HALF CENTURY HOUSE MEN.

Comparatively young men make up
the list of house members. The Oldest
man on the list is Capt. Garrison
Post, of whom more later on. Next
comes John NJ. Geissler, sixty-six years
OF age He came to the United States
from Germany in AZ, and to Minnesota
ten years later. Farming is his occu-
patton, but he was in the Union army
Tor short time in "a. He served his
people in local county offices for many
years, and first came to the legislature
Tor the session of '93, making two full
terms he has served. Mr. GeissIer
gives faithful and painstaking exam
ination to every bill, and is never at
loss how to vote. He seldom rises
to speak, and when he does it will gen
orally be to oppose a bill which pro-
poses an innovation of some sort.
: Simon Taylor, of Rice county, divides
with p. H. Kelly the distinction of
being the third oldest member, in point
of age. Mr.. Taylor is sixty-four, and
he has lived in Minnesota since 1855.
The land he lives on today is where he
first settled, and he has never found
better place to make a home. He
was engaged in construction of mill
tary railroads and bridges down South
during the war. Mr.. Taylor wears his
years well, and is one of the most re-
spected men in the house, modest but
alert, and very Conscientious He
would not furnish a picture from which
to have cut made.
John Mathieson, Republican repre-
sentative from Mower county, came
to Minnesota in SO. He is Scotchman
by birth, and possesses in full measure
all the virtues of the race from which
he sprung. He is as rugged and solid
as Aud Scotia's hills, and as honest as
the day is long. Naturally observant
and of studious turn, he is we'll up on
all current topics, but dairying is his
particular study Of this branch of
agriculture he is a master, and is presi-
dent of the State Dairy Mems associa-
ton. Mr.. Mathieson is sixty-two years
old, well preserved, and apparently
good for many more years of useful
ness. He is a popular and valuable
member Of the house, and as chairman

He isn't quite fifty yet, but he is one
of the only two Indiana men in the
legislature, Senator Barr being the
other. Bars face has been made
familiar to GLOBE readers in times
past, and today we present a good
likeness of Stockton. He is en-
gagged in manufacturing at Fart
bault, and is successful; but, like
most Hoosiers, he is a natural poll
tlc1an and a popular man, at home
and in the senate. Senator Stock
ton can make good speech, but as
he sits next to Senator Stebbins.
the silver-tongued, he prefers to
write out the good things he has to
say and let the handsome Olmsted
county man deliver them in a round
musical voice. Stockton is fond of
music, and when Stebbins muir
murs he closes his eyes to be
charmed by the latter's mellifiuous
accents.

In the admiralty court at Liverpool on
May 22d, Justice Bruce delivered judg-
ment in the action and counter-claim
brough by Girvin, Baldwin & Eyre
against the owners of the British ship
Netherby in respect of short delivery
of a cargo Of wheat carried by the ship
from San Francisco. Particulars Of this
claim were given in the Astorlan of last
Tuesday. The Judge said: 1.-THE plain
tiffs shipped on board the defendants
ship Netherby at San Francisco 34,74S
sacks of wheat. The ship delivered at
Galway 34,116 sacks, being less by $50
sacks than the bill of lading quantity
Not only was there a discrepancy in
the number of sacks, but the weight of
wheat delivered was less by about 2S
tons than the quantity of wheat said to
have been put aboard at San Francisco.
The evidence Shows that the bags were
weighed at San Francisco, and the diff
ference in the weight taken at San Fran
cisco and the weight taken at Galway
corresponds very nearly to the weight of
$50 sacks of wheat Again, there is some
evidence Of the draft of the ship, from
which 1t can be inferred that she had on
board about thirty-eight tons of cargo
more than the wheat accounted for at
Galway, 1 cannot help coming to the
conclusion that these $50 sacks were part
of the cargo put on board at San Fran
cisco. According to the evidence all tho
bags of wheat plaintiffs received were,
after being emptied, carefully counted
and weighed, and everyone concerned in
the delivery of the cargo speaks as to tho
quantity delivered being $50 bags. No
one connected with the delivery sug-
gested that the plaintiffs got more cargo
than there were bags, and 1t is indeed be-
yond question that $50 sacks were un,
counted. If the contents of the missing
$50 sacks were delivered TO the plain
tiffs what would become of the empties?
The fact that these sacks cannot be
found anywhere shows, I think, beyond
doubt that there was some gross irregu-
larity in the delivery at Galway 1 think
the whole of the cargo shipped was not
delivered to the plaintiff, and the de-
fendant neglected to deliver $50 sacks.
Judgment will therefore be for the
pladntip for $1,000, and likewise for the
plaintiff on the counter claim"
