Another move has been made in
the remarkable series of events that
are connected with the control OF
the Northern Pacific railroad com.
pany. The facts are briefly stated
in the above dispatch. Soon after
the Western courts assumed u right
to Join in the control of the old
receivers, they offered their resigna-
tions. and as will lie seen, Judge
Jenkins accepted them and ap-
pointed successors. 1t appears that
there will be dispute between the
different United States courts along
the railroad, and the appointment
of the new receivers by the MilWau-
kee Judge indicates that men of his
selection Will maintain their
authority to control the road. This
whole matter is very important for
the railroad and the communities
along it's lines. AS long us courts
quarrel over the power to control it,
and men control it who act as agents
OF courts. there can he little har-
mOniOus action for the development
OF the road, the cities or the local
industries. The establishment of
some permanent or responsible
authority is the imperative need of
the great interests involved. It Is
not now to the personal or financial
interests of any one connected with
the management to aid the tribu-
tary country, and such condition
is Improbable to the road and un-
fortunate for the district traversed
by the road.

still living. Her mother injects
milk, peptone and sometimes wine
through a broken tooth in the girls
mouth. Marguerite Bouyenval made
away with baby eleven years ago,
and the gendarmes were sent to her
house. The girl was so frightened
at their approach that she had an
attack of hysteria, which lasted sew
era1 hours, and at the end of which
she fell into a trance.
The doubts thrown on the contin-
<uation of the trance have evidently
been caused by the fact that the
mother of the sleeping girl has made
a good deal of money by exhibiting
her. A local doctor, who has OBJ
served the case during the eleven
years, informed the investigator
from Paris that Marguerite Bouyen-
val had really been sleeping during
the whole time. Occasionally she
had hysterical crises, but did not
awake after them. Other doctors
have also agreed as to the genuine
ness of the phenomenon, and the
sleeping girl of Thenelles remains
a human mystery.

VIII Net Advise Congress.

The board of trade yesterday con-
cerned itself with a discussion of the
national currency scheme which was
reported from the committee on cur
rency several weeks ago. This financial
plan is the offspring of Joel B. Bas-
sett's fertile brain. After Mr.. Bassett
had explained his recommendations to
congress, Mr.. Bartlett suggested that
congress be not hampered by North
western advice, and this view was so
well thought of that the imposing docu-
ment was tabled.
Last summers idea among the I'M
employed and their speakers that the
city give over. vacant lots for farming
purposes for the benefit of the poor
people, was talked of, and a COM
mittee consisting of S. A. Stockwell, J..
M. Bartlett, S. R. Child, J. F. N.
Stacy and j. H. Nickel was appoined
to cooperate with the associated
charities in investigating the plan.

SWAPPING LAND.
Massachusetts and Rhode ISL
and Talking of Trade.

Massachusetts and Rhode ISL
and Talking of n Trade.
Providence Journal.
Within a few weeks the states of
Rhode Island and Massachusetts
will be engaged in exchanging terri
tory with each other, and the men
who make maps will have a task
of some magnitude upon their
hands The outline of this state is
net exactly symmetrical now, and,
unless all signs fail, it will look, aft
er the exchanging process is over,
as though somebody had bitten
pieces out of the border line in vari-
Gus places.
.5 It is a good many years now since
these two Yankee states engaged in
the genuine Yankee occupation of
swapping land. Something like 25
years ago the town of PaWtucket
wanted a piece of the town of See
konk, which was just over the Black
stone river, in the Bay state. About
Z the same time the state of MaSSa-
chusettS got its eye on what is now
the city of Fall River, and which was
then a part of Rhode Island.
1t is the city of PaWtucket which
is responsible for the present move
ment to exchange land with Massa-
chuSettS, and it came about in this
way: Some time ago James Potter,
a machine manufacturer of that city,
became interested in the Howard &
Bullough Machine company, OF Man
chester, England. This is one of the
largest establishments of it's kind in
the United Kingdom, and the idea
of locating a branch in America
struck the members of the concern
as a good one. Mr.. Potter was put
in charge of the matter.
When heecame to look around for
a suitable location for an American
branch of the works, his mind
naturally reverted to the advantages
of New England. He viewed various
sites, and finally selected a large
tract of land on the edge Of the city
of PaWtucket The land spread out
into the town of Attleborough, Mass,
and, after the factories were con-
structed, the disadvantages of hav-
ing part of the works in one state
and part in another became evident.
So, after a great deal of talk, Paw
tucket has decided to urge the eX-
change of North Tiverton, which
Fall River wants. for Attleborough.
1t seems probable that some kind
of amicable arrangement can be ar
rived at, and then the bills will pass
the legislature and the great and
general court, and the people who sell
Biographies can issue new editions
and make another honest dollar out
of the towns and cities and states
which furnish free text books.

Mrs. c.. x. Sidle Secures Her Di-
vorce Easily.
Mrs Charles K. Side was legally
separated from her husband in the
district court yesterday. Attorney
James Lawrence, of the firm OF
Lawrence, Truesdale & Corriston,
presented a number of affldavits to
the court, and Mrs. Sides suit for
divorce was placed on the calendar
for immediate trial. The defendant
was not present Ito trouble with
bad wish or ill-repressed affection,
and after hearing the testimony the
court readily granted the decree.
Mrs. Sidle alleged cruel and in
human treatment, and testified in
her own behalf. Her testimony was
something of a surprise to those who
are acquainted with the defendant.
It painted him as man beset by in
sane jealousies and the slave of an
uncomfortable temper. Evidence
was introduced in support of these
statements to show that he had
often taxed her with infidelity, and
upon one occasion had struck her.
The plaintiff asked for 500 a
month alimony for three years,
which was allowed.

One Fish for the Club.

To the numerous anglers who have
visited Paris and have observed the
French fishermen angling with rod
and line from the many bridges and
quays of the Seine, and are familiar
with the wild enthusiasm aroused by
catching one little gudgeon, the fol-
lowing story, which comes from
France, may not be devoid of interest.
1t appears that during the many years
that a certain fishing club has held
angling rights in a stream near Paris.
the taking of a single fish was not re-
corded until recently. A few months
ago it was discovered that a solitary
barber inhabited the river. The fish
was carefully located, and gratings
were placed above and below, confin-
ing it within close limits. All the mem
bers of the club were notified, and act
i've angling enSued. AS soon as one
angler took the barbel it was re-
turned to the water, to give an oppor-
tunity to the other competitors. In
this way the fish was taken many
times, some members capturing it
more than once. In the end the bar
bel died of exhaustion, and, with it's
death, the piscine resources of the
clubs river came to an end.

A Famous District That Has Lost
It's Depravity.
New York Sun.
The original Tenderloin precinct
lin the annals of the police depart
ment of New York was the Eighth,
the station house of which was in
Prince street, and is now in Mac
dougal street. Its boundaries are
Canal street, Houston street, Broad
way and the North river. 1t was
a great resort for thieves, crooks
and disorderly persons, and fur
nished the largest amount of po-
lice business. In 1870, when the
Eighth precinct was at the height
of it's deplorable prominence, the
arrests were $500 in a year,
against $500 in the Twenty-ninth
precinct, the present Tenderloin. The
captain best known in connection
with the Eighth was Charles Nc
Donald, better known as Light
ming Charley He was appointed
in 1870, and gained his title from
service in the Thirty-fifth street sta
ton.
With the growth of the city fur
Their up town, the moving away of
the big hotels, and the encroach-
ments of stores and warehouses in
the Eighth precinct, the Fifteenth
or Mercer street precinct became
the Tenderloin. Its reign was brief.
The Twenty-ninth Oow the Nine
teentO precinct, the present Ten
derloin, extends from Fourteenth to
Forty-second street and the western
boundary is Seventh avenue. 1t
takes in both sides of Broadway,
and has a larger number of hotels
than any other precinct in this city.
The part that gave it it's unsavory
reputation lies between Sixth and
, Seventh avenues and Twenty third
and Thirty-fourth streets. At one
time both sides of Sixth avenue were
largely taken up with concert sa-
looms and among these in. the Ten
derloin were the Buckingham, the
Star and Garter, the Cremorne,
the Empire, the Sans Souci, the
Argyle and the Haymarket. Sixth
avenue between Twenty-third and
Thirty-fourth streets at that time
was as much crowded by night as
Broadway is now by day. Arrests
were many, and strangers visiting
New York came to this neighbOr-
hood as one of the sights of the
town.
At present the Tenderloin is
name chiefly Most of the estab-
lishments which gave it a national,
if not an international, i'll repute
have either moved away or have
been closed for good. The side
streets between Sixth and Seventh
avenues and TWenty-ffth and
Twenty-siXth streets are mostly oc-
cupied by members of the French
colony. 1t is in the heart of the re-
gion of tables d'hote. Twenty-sev-
