Judge Sanborn Files His Decision in the.
Great Northern Case.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 1.-THE Great North
ern Railway company and J. J. Hill, its
president, have won the first prelimin-
airy battle in the contest precipitated by
Thomas w. Pearsan in his application
for preliminary injunction made TO
Judge Sanborn of the United States
circuit court.
The decision has been filed, the court
denying the motion of Pearsan the COM
plainant.
The next step will be to hear the case
on it's merits, for it must be tried &C
cording to the procedure vouchsafed to
every regular issue that comes before
the court.
The case will be tried as a court case
before the judge, and evidence will be
introduced on behalf of either party and
another decision by the court will be the
end of that issue.
Judge Sanborn says the final adiudi-
cation lies with the supreme court.

DUMRAVEN'S STATEMENT.
His Reasons for Withdrawing From the
Third Race Given.


LONDON, Sept. 14.-Reuter's News
Agency sent a request by cable to the
Earl of Dunraven for statement Of the
reas rs for his action in withdrawing
from this third race for the America 5
cup. The following reply has BEEN re-
oeived from New York:
"Owing to the excessive crowding by
steamers at the first two races, especially
at the start of and on the Last 10 miles
of the second race, I notified the cup
committee that owing to the danger of
serious accident by collision with the
excursion steamers. and otherwise, and
owing to the absolute absurdity of car
rying ON races under such conditions Z
should decline to start unless some ar
rangement were made to race in clear
water. requested a postponement Of
this last race with view of arriving at
such an arrangement. The committee
found it impossible to eoncede this. 1
then notified them that I should be at
Sandy Hook ightship for the purpose
Of giving Defender a start

FORFEITED THE RACE
VAlKYRiE RETiRES AFTER CROSS
ING THE LINE

And Defender Sails Alone Dunraven
Asked Tor P"stponement, But the Re-
quest Was Denied The Englishman
of the Opinion That He Was Badly
Treated.
NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-The interna-
tional series between Defender and Val
kyrie for the Americas cup is ended.
On the whole it has been an extraordi-
nary series, and while the result is salts
factory to the American people, two at
least OF the contests that went to make
up the match We're not. Defender won
in a clean race ON Saturday and OH Tues
day last she crossed the line behind the
English boat, but was awarded the race
on foul; Thursday she had waI,Gcyer.
Lord Dunraven had said and he said
most emphatically, that he would
withdraw his boat if an abso-
lutely clear course was not provided.
He claimed that during the previous
race his boat had been greatly inter
fered with, and as everything depended
Oh the outcome of the third series, he adj
hered to that decision 50 closely that
Valkyrie merely crossed the starting
line and then retired from the contest.
Defender, who was well in advance
when the handicap gun was fired, con-
tinued on her journey and went over
the course well within the time limit.
By her three straight victories, Defen-
der retains the historic cup for America.
Committee Not to Blame.
So far as the committee was con-
cerned it seemed impossible to do more
to secure open water than it had already
done, for when the preparatory gun was
fred the nearest boat to the racers was
fully half a mile away, and the great
majority Of the excursion steamers and
other craft were much farther off in the
distance. The starting gun went at the
appointed time, and almost at the same
instant Defender crossed the line. 1t
was evident to those who had been
watching the English boat that she had
no intention Of racing, and 50 it proved
for no sooner was the line crossed than
she hauled to on the starbcard tack, in
stead Of following her rival out, and
passed under the stern of the ightship.
General regret was expressed that the
series for the Americas cup, begun so
auspiciously and promising, had ended
so disastrously. The withdrawal Of
Lord Dunraven in the third and per-
haps deciding event has had a depress~
ing effect upon all those identified with
the great match, and will probably have
a more serious effect in regard to future
international races.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lit is learned
that President Cleveland has determined
to offer William H. Hornblower of New
York the place on the supreme bench
made vacant by the death Ct Justice
jackson. The president has had conf
munication with Mr.. Hornblower and
ne is willing to accept the appointment,
provided there can be no doubt Of his
confirmation by the senate. 1t is we'll
known that Senator Hill will make no
further objection to the confirmation of
Mr.. Hornblower, and that apparently
leaves way for his nomination and con-
firmation. The presidents admiration
for Mr.. Hornblower is well known, and
his was the first name thought Of after
Justice Jackson's death. Those in the
confidence Of the president in such mat
tiers have no doubt the whole matter is
arranged and that Mr.. Hornblower will
be nominated and promptly confirmed
Immediately after the reassembling of

HEAD END COLLISION.
Wreck Of Passenger Trains on the Great
Northern Road.

Wreck Of Passenger Trains on the Great
Northern Road.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Sept. 13.-By
disobedience of orders On the part Of an
engineer the worst disaster that has
been experienced ON the Great Northern
road for three years occurred Wednes-
day, the eastbcund and westbound pas
senger trains coming together IN a cut
near Ashby, the collision resulting IN
death to five trainmen and serious in
jury to several passengers.
Running at a Rapid Rate.
Both trains were long and pulled by
heavy engines. The westbound train,
being behind, was running at the rate
of about As miles ali hour, and the east
bound nearly as fast. Engineer Haines
had been ordered to take siding at Mel
by, but probably forgot his orders. Con-
ductor Manley was dumbfounded to see
the train pass Melby without stopping,
and instantly pulled the air brake, but
was too late, for almost the same in
slant the engineer could see the east
bound train coming, and also applied
the air. The road is a trifle down grade
and The train was 50 heavy and going SO
fast and the distance 50 short that the
speed Of the train was hardly slackened
before they struck. The entire train was
piled up i'll space about the length OF
two cars and everything
Smashed Beyond Recognition,
the sleeper Of the westbound train icing
Oh top of the wreck and fully 80 feet in
the air. How the | .ssengers Of this
sleeper escaped death is miracle. En-
gineer Haines of the westbound train is
buried under the debris. Engineer
Emerson of the eastbound train was
found in ditch with his head cut of
and body disemboweled.
The injured passengers are all from
Mason, Wis, and formed a party en-
route for the coast Miss Maggie Al
ison is the only one of the party who
is thought to be fatally injured.

by reporter, he said:

Mr.. Kersey, speaking of the offer of;

CORONERS VERDICT,


Railroad Company Censured for the Great
Northern Accident.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 14.-The ver-
dict of the coroners inquest on the
Melby wreck was as follows: I'VE find
that the direct cause of the accident is
to be laid to Engineer Haines in acting
on wrong orders. We further blame
the company for ordering passenger
trains to meet at a blind siding where
no agent is and no lights are kept, also
in allowing a conductor to send two Or
ders to the engineer when only one was
needed"

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Matters Favored by the G. A. II. En-
campment.

Matters Favored by the G. A. H. En-
campment.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 4.-Resolutions
We're adopted at the national encamp-
ment of the G. A. r., declaring it the
sense of that body that all old veterans
should be favored by civil service boards;
that such boards should not discriminate
against these heroes of the rebellion on
account of their age. This was brought
about by the fact that many civil service
boards in Chicago, Washington and
other large cities have put All age limit
on examination applicants. In this way
many able bodied old soldiers have been
shut out. The resolutions were vehe-
ment in their demand that an exception
should be made in favor of veterans
Another matter Of interest was the
adoption of resolution favoring the
placing Of flags upon every public school
building and the introduction of mill
tary drill in the public school curriculum.
Resolutions of Coincidence.
Resolutions of coincidence and SYM
pathy for the parents and friends of the
young militiamen who were killed by
the explosion of the caisson Wednesday,
We're adopted. There was an adverse
report made upon the resolution favor
ing the establishment Of a national uni
versity Of patriotism, and the report was
adopted. The camp further declared
itself against long marches at future ell
campments. This was brought about on
account of the large number of veterans
who are becoming to old to endure them.

CANDLES AS PERQUlsITEs.
One of the Qseer OniciA observances In
Paris.

One of the Qseer onciai observances in
Paris.
A Paris official recently received his
annual present of ten pounds of can
dies The man thus favored is the po
lice commissary of the district of Sain;
German rAuxerrois and he receives his
box of candles from the chamber OF no
taries.
The origin of this observance dates a
long way back. It arose out of a dis
pute between the police commissary OF
the Chatelet and the corporation Of
notaries.
The duty of the former was to hold n
lighted candle at the door of the cham
Der as the legal gentlemen were enter
ing it, and on one occasion the commis-
sary, with the spirit which animates
many men in office, even in our own
great country, complained that it was
unfair for the expense of the candles to
fall upon him, contending that he ought
rather to receive an indemnity for his
services.
I He gained HE point, and from that
time forward the commissary was given
three hundred pounds of wax candles
annually. In the course of time the
three hundred pounds of wax melted
away and dwindled. till in the present
day the ancient custom has come down
to the gift of a ten-pound box of COM
posite candles.
