NORTHERN PACIFIC MuDDLE.
Some Prospects Of More Lively Music in
the Near Future.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune
There may soon be more music in
Northern Pacific railroad affairs. Silas
II. Petit, the counsel OF the company,
who made such a warm fight against
Receivers Payne, Oates and Rouse before
Judge Hansford in Seattle, is on his
way to this city, and is expected here
within day or two. Mr. Pettits senti-
ments as printed in The Tribune yes
terday, which he uttered in Chicago the
day before, show that he takes the view
to which President Brayton Ives has a.
ready given expression, that the receivers
are to be ousted
The following clause in the bondhold-
ers' agreement with the Adams Reorgani-
zatfon Committee now becomes of signi-
fcant interest:
1t is further agreed that any certificate
holder may, upon the like rotice and
terms as herelnbefore provided, withdraw
from this agreement at any time between
March / and April 1, or between Septem.
ber 1 and october 1, in any calendar
year after the year 1854, provided the
committee shall not then have adopted
a plan for the reorganization of the af-
fairs Of said railroad company, and made
publication of the adoption and filing OF
such plan as hereinbefore provided
Under the conditions, the bondholders
who have already given their assent to
the Adams plan are at liberty to with
draw in the present month. The only
condition to the withdrawal Is that 50
shall be paid upon each bond for the
purpose of meeting expenses. The total
amount of bonds turned into the Adams
committee is now $19,S6OOOO. The total
issue Is about $i5,0O0,0O0 TMe committee,
therefore, lacks something like $1,000, ,OOO
of having a majority. And thus the sit
uation has stood for two years.
One of the deeply interested stoclhoid-
ers of the company said yesterday: "The
Hin men went in to play a deep game by
setting out to get hold of enough bonds
to control the situation. They purchased
about $2000,0OO and would have bought |
up enough more to enable them to play |
into the hands of the Adams committee |
had it not been for fthe developments |
as to what that committee was doing or
was not doing.
THE Adams committee has expected |
to have the Hin men join them and thus
secure the majority control. The whole
thing has fallen through. Now to give
another phase to the situation, persons
holding 100000 in the bonds, who had
given their assent to the Adams plan,
have sought to take their bonds out un-
der the special clause as to the months
of March and September. They went to
the Adams committee, when the 50 a bond
was demanded, and the statement was
made to the bondholders that the ex-
penses Of the committee had already
been more than 50 a bond. This on the
total of $19,6SO,OOO would mean and eXpen-
diture thus far of more than S59999. Sti.G
that 100000 will be withdrawn, and there
are others to be made
The return of Mr.. Petit at this time
may lead to a determined effort on the
part of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company to induce large number OF
the bond+holders to withdraw their de-
nOslts with the committee.

A HOME INCIDENT.
Showing How Critical Children Sometimes
Become as They Grow Older.

II used to have some credit in my
own household" said Mr.. Jorg.eton, "as
a judge of character by minor indica-
tions; by handwriting and that sort of
thing" quotes the New York Sun. 1.-THE
children would bring to me letters from
friends and acquainteances and show me
the superscription on the envelope and
say: Papa, what sort of a person should
you think this was? and then / woula
take the envelope and look at 1t care,
fully and presently begin: WE'LL the
writer of this is a person Of ana
then l would go ahead and describe his
CT her characteristics, and l am bound
to say that generally got 1t pretty near
right, aus the children acknowledged will
ingly and with wondering admiration.
"Weli, hadn't heard anything of that
for some time-for two or three years.
Then one day my eldest daughter( now
grown to be quito a tall young LADY,,
p brought me an envelope to decipher.
Honored by this visit after that lapse of
time, gave an elaborate and careful
diagnosis.
"'What do you think of this one?' she
said, handing me another, and described
that, too, and also a third which she
handed me; and when / had finished and

stead of thanking me with the wonder
ing admiration of former years, she be-
gan to shout for her brother, youth
grown with the lapse of time, and when
he had come they laughed and laughed
and laughed
Whence this laughter| l said, en-
deavoring to be funny though l really
didn't see any fun in It, and she finally
managed to tel me that the three super
scriptions whose features l had so
carefully described as indicating three
persons of widely varying characteristics,
were really written all by one person.
Ia! ha! ha! and then they laughed again
with great delight.
II tried to explain that young per-
sons handwriting then not wholly formed
and settled handwriting might easily on
one day and another, really reveal all
the characteristics 1 had described, but
they only laughed at this, 1t was enough
for them that l had described as the
work of three persons the handwriting
u one, but why should they so rejoice
over this slight incident I cannot imagine,
unless they have come to think, as chill
dren sometimes do, that they are smarter
than their parents"

IRON FILINGS FOR THE SOIL.

Northern fruit growers know that the
color Of fruit is largely dependent on the
amount Of available potash which the
soil contains. This with sunlight aids
in the development of both color and
fine flavor. A California orange grower,
Mr.. G.. w. Prescott. has found that iron
heightened the color of his product and
made 1t more salable. His oranges were
originally very pale, but by using five
pounds of iron filings around his trees
the color has been changed to dark
yellow, with increased quality Of fruit.
SO much iron filings probably made this
soil more open and porous. If the iron
has served as plant food a small quantity
would have been sufficient.

BOONE AND THE INDIANS.
The Old Kentucky Hunter Was Pris-
oner in Their Hands for Months.

Boone frequently took to the fed on
set expeditions against the savages. Once
when he and party of other men were
making salt at q lick, they were surprised
and carried off by the Indians. The ola
hunter was a prisoner with them for some
months, but finally made his escape and
came home through the tracllless woods
as straight as the wild pigeon files. He
was ever on the watch to ward off the
Indian inroads and to follow the war
parties and try to rescue the prisoners.
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried OF
by band of Indians Boone colected
some friends and followed them steadily
for two days and night. Then they
came to where the Indians had killed
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from a little distance, they shot two In
dams, and rushing in rescued the girls.
On another occasion, Wien Boone had
gone to visit salt lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, but the
indians followed him for three miles by
the aid of a tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog, and then eluded his
pursuers. In company with Simon Ken
ton and many Of the noted hunters and
Wilderness warriors he once and again
took part in perilous expeditions into the
Indian country. Twice bands of Indians,
accompanied by French Tory and Brit
ish partisans from Detroit, bearing the
nag of Great Britain, attacked Boones-
boro. In each case Boone and his fellow
settlers beat them off with loss
AT the fatal battle of the Blue Licks,
In which 200 of the best riflemen of Ken
lucky were beaten with terrible slaughter
by a great force of Indians from the
lakes, Boone commanded the left wing.
Leading his men, rife in hand. he pushed |
back and overthrew the force against |
him. Meanwhile the Indians DESTROYED |
the right wing and center and got in the |
rear, so that there was nothing for |
Boone's men except to fee with all speed. |

A NORTHERN APPLE.

Garden and Forest.
Among the varieties of apples which viii
flourish in the Northwest the HibernaG
is strongly recommended by the superinr
tendent of one of the stations in Mime
sofa. The trees are robust and in good
condition after having been set eight
years; the fruit is large and ripens well
together on the trees; it is equal to the
O.denburg for all culinary purposes, ana
in the proper season is relished as a
dessert apple. The tree also has great
value as stock to be top-worked with
more tender varieties, as it makes a
smooth union with many kinds and is
inclined to push them into early bear
ing

of Zaksriner, another girl, who came
down with Mr.. Bruce last year and who
is cared for by Miss Swan of this city.
The little one is delighted when talking
III lne LShlnlO ldnSuage with Mr. Bruce,
at the prospect of meeting her sister, and
and whenever the nickname "Rlner" is
mentioned Artmarhok brightens up,
smiles and mods in approval of the name.
She is a sociable child and makes up
readily with strangers, climbing upon the
knee of friendly caller and even maxi
ing some exclamations of delight at
thoughts of her sister and the fatherly
care of Mr.. Bruce. Their parents gave
the twins to Mr. Bruce, and he has
broueIht them to America to be cared for
and educated in the manners of civl,iza-
tlon. When they are IL or ii years cid

came down are Isertyner and Wearner,
his wife, Kyoquassi, a young man, and
Kerungner young woman. The last

The United States bureau of steam en-
gneering has decided upon an extensive
series of experiments with liquid fus, for
naval vessels, to he conducted at the
New York navy yard. One of the OBJ
jections to coal is the time required
to start the fires of a man-of-war or tor
pedo boat. This objection will be done
away with by the use of liquid fuel. The
mere turning of a cock to permit the
liquid to flow and the application of
lighted match are the only operations
necessary in using the latter and in an
extremely short space oe time steam is
ready and the ship can proceed to sea.
With coal the time consumed amounts to
hours. Liquid fuel would be especially
useful on board torpedo boats.
