The Van AIKEN & Hayes Failure

The failure Of Van AIKEN and

The liabilities Of the defnncl
firm are in the ncigbborhcod Of
Sl4,CO0. Their assets are $1,000.
The latter will be fully absorbed
by attachments and orders given,
! leaving a large amount Of labor
and supply claims unprovided for.
Suit was brought last week by
| Gen. John Il. Roller and d. q.
Dechert against the Old Dominion

of LABOR claims amounting to about
$4,000. This sut aims to make the

company in the completion Of The
work between Dayton and Bridge

ence in visiting Titusville, Pa, at the
time of the shooting of President Gar
eld. l happened to be at Titusville
myself as Hoskins scrambled into town.
L was working to death as managing edi-
tor of the Titusville Herald-the Oldest
and only daily of the city-the World
being a Sunday morning paper. Hos
klns was 81 good looking youth in those
days, and his achievement was one that
was heroic and enterprlsing. There was
another individual around the Herald
office, catching from the wires for DAYS
thereafter the news as it came from
Washington-Col. w. G. Plummer. I
little thought as I saw Plummer around
the Herald Office in those days, and as I
saw Hoskins drive into town, looking
very much like a bright bow.
that so many. of us would bring up
eventually in the same corner of this big
earth. All of which serves to illustrate
after all that this is a small world.
1t is worthy of note, for the benefit of
an inquiring multitude, that although
we have all since crossed the Red River
OF the North, in those days Hoskins was
known as R. D. Hoskins; Plummer was
even then Col. w. G. Plummer, and the
writer OF this was also known to local
tame as E. M. FUTILE.

So have we met on Plummer's Hill,
Beneath this summer sky,
To venerate our natal day.,
The glorious It'll July.
What care we for marbled halls,
And pOmp and glittering sheen?
Our thoughts do here as grateful rise
From Gods primeval green.

On the margin of her river,
We meet today in glad array,
And praise the All-Wise Oliver

The precious bOOnS Of life.

Devoid of wars and strife.

Shrewd Business Woman

Under the caption of 1.-THE Right
Stamp of New Woman" the Chicago
Chronicle says:
Congressman johnson of North Dakota
has a wife who is OF rare value to him as a
business manager. Mr.. johnson is a farmer
on an extensive scale and during his So
Journs to Washington Mrs. johnson as
entire control of 1900 acres under
cultivation. In the spring of 1898 Mr..
Johnson invested heavily in hay lands.
Before the hay was ready to cut he was
called to Washington by and extra session
of congress-. He tried ta find a man who
would attend to his hay for him during his
absence, and failing. allowed his wife to
assume charge of the big hay farm. The
harvest came on, and Mis-. johnson was in
the fields bright and early in her TOP
buggy. looking after the men and teams,
and, when one field wa cut. selecting
another, and then another. All of the nav
OF the johnson farm was mOwn, and then
Mrs. Johnson leased hay tracls in the
vicinity of Petersburg, until tile total cut
amounted to almost 300 tons. Mr.. johnson
hlmse!f says that he never had a crop
looked after in a more businss-like wal
than the hay crop OF 1893. His only re-
greet is that the promised high prices did
not naterialize. The yield was an I'M
usually large one, but prices were low.
NO money was lost, however. by the crop
and the remainder of the 800 tons of hay
was sold the next spring ut a profitable
figure.

A Painful Accident.

When about to start for the Baptist
picnic grounds Thursday the team of
Anderson Healey was frightened by the
premature discharge of firecrackers and
became unmanageable. Mr.. Healey was
thrown to the ground with great force,
but m~iraculously escaped injury. Mrs.
Healey was thrown between the wheels
and received painful and serious injury.
At first it was reported that one eye had
been torn from the socket, an arm broken,
cheek bone broken and other severe
bruises and internal injuries sustained.
DR.. Harcourt was called, who dressed
the wounds and relieved her sufferings
by medical skill. The patient rested
we'll last night, and this morning her
wounds were pronounced of a painful
but not serious nature. Only the cheek
bone is fractured, and it is not believed
any permanent injury to the eye has
been inflicted. The affair cast a gloom
on the picnic festivities, but the many
friends of the estimable lady are pleased
to know that her injuries are not as seri-
as first reported.

Paul brought the stock in and it re-

to at once switch them to the stock
yards, to which point they we're destined.
Instead of that, however, the poor brutes
were allowed to remain n their crowded
and painful situation until 7 o'clock, and
l was told that sometimes they are left
there until 10 o'clock. Accordingly, I
went to see the Kansas City people, and
1 was rather cavalierly treated by Ger
tain officials who sit around on their
thrones. l went to one and he sent me
to another, and the second one was
about to send me to the general mana
ger OF the road when I protested, and
told him plainly that the freight depart
ment was the q having jurisdiction.
Then be grew rather impairment, but
grew more respectful when I explained
more fully who I was. He said that no
complaints had been received, but he
would investigate.
81 am thoroughly in earnest about this
matter, and I have called the attention
of the Minnesota society to it. l think,
too, that it should be thoroughly venti-
lated by the press.
"Some one should look into the mat
ter of the mutilation of dogs in st. Paul.
Mrs. Bartholomew continued, "The
policeman around the hotel here beat
the dogs cruelty with their clubs, and
shoot them without inficting fatal
wounds. That has been done two or
three times during the week that I have
been here. There is nothing in this mad
dog scare. It always comes about the
time the enforcement of taxes begins,
and you know and I know that these city
officials have a habit of making a little
something out of such matters. Dogs
are property taxed by the state, and the
city has no right to impose an additional
tax, as would be shown if some men we're
to commence civil and criminal proceed
ings in law"
Railroad officials, in the Pioneer Press
and other papers, in speaking of the
above interview, say that Mrs. Bartholo-
new must have been wrongly quoted, as
they were not on their "high horse" at
all, and that they could not be so un-
gentlemanly as not to accord the lady a
respectful hearing. They think the lady
has also been misinformed in relation to
cruelty to ANIMALS in transit, as the Min

Laid Up for a Time.

AdAu Up 1Or Il 11m0s
The work train, which is busy filling
in the trestle at the river, will be laid up
for a week or two, owing to the breaking
of the main mast in the shovel appa-
ratus Tuesday. The mast is an i'm
mems upright of cast iron, upon which
the scoop like shovel hangs suspended
and swings back and forth. The one
which was broken yesterday has been in
use for two years, and since the work
began here, has been subject to a con
siderable strain, as the digging has had
to be done in the side of a cut, where
the earth is almost as hard as solid rock.
The mast has been wearing for some
time, and broke in two Tuesday. The
company has no new ones on hand, and
an order was telegraphed to the shops
at Brainerd, where a new one will have
to be cast and sent on. It will take
probably a week to get the new one
here, and a day and a half to put it in
place after it gets here. In the mean
time, the shovel outfit will be taken to
Mandan, and the crew which has been
operating the outfit will &c into the regu-
lar train service until the new apparatus
arrives.
Had the accident been deferred for ten
days or two weeks, the work of filing in
the trestle would have been finished.
Since April 8, about 5000 carloads Of
dirt have been dumped upon the grade
below the t~restle, and it will take only
about 1000 more carloads to finish the
work. The embankment which has been
made in this way is a sound one, the fall
from the trestle having beengreat enough
to pack the loose earth solidly, and it is
said it has not settled much since the
work began. The heavy rains have
tended, also, to make the embankment
firm, and the track where the trestle was
formerly, now rests upon a secure road
bed.
