BONDS OF NATIONAL UNION.
Sermon of Rev. S. Nj. Crothers at
Cambridge, Mass.

Cambridge, Mass.
In the closing days Of the campaign
Rev S. M. CrotherS, formerly pastor
of Unity church, st. Paul, preached 6
sermon Of much weight in his church
at Cambridge, Mass, on 1.-The Bonds
of National Union" He said:
The first danger to the republic comes
through the revival of sectionalism The old
sectional animosity between the North and
the South has ceased to be a source OF anxiety.
Once it had a reason, but that has been taken
away. There is now no Mason and D1Xon's
line" no peculiar institution. Such feel
ing as exists is now manifestly only a sur
vival of past state of things, and every year
it becomes less. But it has been suggested
that new sectionalism has arisen, and that
we may yet see the West arrayed against the
East, as once the South was arrayed against
the North.
It IS the novelty of this suggestion that
startles U.S. but when we examine it, we see
how unreal the danger is. ASK any one to
define the sections of whose antagon1sm he
the boundary? The fact is that the geograph-
ical terms altogether vague and illusory.
The native Of Maine talks of a ''Westerner''
from Boston; the man IN Boston THINKS OF
while the in California thinks of the
solid East as extending to the great divide
of the Rocky mountains.
When we come TO differences in culture, race
and tradition, web find them following no sec
tional lines Often there Is more dlHerence
between townships in the same county than
between widely separated states. The diver
sifcation of Industries and the diffusion of
capital are also such that only in rough
way can we distinguish the interests of one
section from another. Political orators may
seek to array the agricultural West against
the capitabstic East; but they forget that
they must address Eastern farmers and West
ern capitalists.
Now consider the forces that unite East
and West North and South, into one great
community. Watch the crowds IN any large
railway station; follow in imagination the
passengers to distant cities, think of the
thousand ties of business and OF friendship
that are formed, and you must feel how un-
real is the idea that the people of one section
look upon those sof another as foreigners or
enemies. Sectionalsm thrives only in isolated
communities; it is impossible where people
are brought into constant communication.
Another danger, which to some seems great,
is that of the revival Of ecclesiastical preten-
sions leading to irreconcilable conflicts be-
tween members Of different religious bodies.

A. O. U. w. IN EARNEST.
Bring Action for Damages
Against WeinhOlzer.


Against Weinholzer.
Catherine Pfeiffer, as the owner of the
property at Eighth and Wabasha
streets, known as A. o. U. W. temple.
and Anton Weinholzer and Anton
Miesen as proprietors of the Palm
Garden" saloon occupying the ground
floor of the building, were made de-
PENDANTS in damage suit filed in the
district court yesterday by the ''trus-
tees of the A. o. u. w. lodges" In
addition to the 81, 900 damages demand
ed in the complaint, the court is asked
to enforce an agreement between Mrs.
Pfeiffer and the trustees to the effect
that the lower floor of the building
should not be rented for saloon pur-
poses while the upper floors are used
for lodge accommodation, and that the
proprietors of the saloon be restrained
from entering and using the hallway
leading to the opper floors.
The complaint sets forth that on
Nov. II, 1895, the plaintiffs entered into
an agreement with Catherine Pfeiffer
whereby they secured a lease upon the
two upper floors of the building to be
used as headquarters for the A. o. u.
w. lodges of the city and that they
have since expended $500 in fitting up
the apartments for the purpose deSig-
mated. Part of the agreement, it is
claimed, was that the plaintiffs were
to have exclusive control of the hall
way on the lower floor leading to the
lodge rooms and that the store room
on. the ground floor was not to be rent
ed for saloon during the time Of the
lease. This part of the agreement is
alleged to have been violated when
Sept. 1 the owner of the property
rented the store room to Miesen &
Weinholzer for the purpose of conduct
ing saloon.
IF iS 1qinoo6 thof nYiOr. tn tho
ing of the saloon the trustees secured
large income by renting the upper
halls for dances and social entertain
mentS, but that since, on account of
the character of the freQuenters of the
saloon, they have not been able to en-
gage the halls to any one for social
purposes. There are two doors open
ing from the saloon into the lower
hall which, complainants claim, is in
cluded in their lease, and, it is alleged,
that the proprietors of the saloon have
been using the one in the rear of the
hall near the elevator as a family
entrance" to the saloon, and have
hung up signs SO stating it to be, thus
causing men and women Of bad char
acter to pass through the hall to en-
ter the saloon. Plaintiffs claim that
they and their families do not care to
be thrown into relation with such peo-
pie
On one occasion pla1ntlffS smut the
doors opening from the saloon to the
hall and took off the door knobs, but,
it is alleged, that Weinholzer broke the
doors open and again put in place the
obnoxious signs which had been taken
down. The judgment demanded is the
sum of $4,000 for the alleged inability
to rent the hall since the opening of
the saloon, and that the agreement re-
lating to the non-renting of the store
for saloon purposes be enforced also
that plaintiffs be declared to control
the lower hallway and that the pro-
prietors of the saloon be restrained
from using the same.

HIS CROPS WE'RE BURNED.
Reuben Little Wants S65, 1000 From
the Omaha.

Judge Kelly and a jury were yester-
day engaged in trying the case Of Reu-
ben F. Little against the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad,
an action brought by Little, who is
a farmer of Polk county, Wis, to re-
cover the not insignificant sum of $64,-
9S8.25 for the damage alleged to have
been done to his farm and crops by
reason Of fire started by the sparks
from one of defendants engines. Lit
ties farm adjoins the railroad tracks
of defendant in Polk county, Wis, and
he claims that on Sept. 8, 1894, by rea-
son of negligence on the part of the
company and the inferior construction
Of it's engine, a fire was started which
damaged his property in the amount
sought. The negligence of the defend
ant is alleged to have consisted in al
lowing quantities of dry leaves and
dead Vegetation to collect on its right
of way which were set fire to by an
unusual number of sparks and fire
brands" dropped and emitted from the
improperly constructed engine.
The fall of the year when the fire oc-
Cured had been particularly dry and
the flames spread with great rapidity
to Little's farm. In addition to ruin
ing 264 acres for future agricultural
purposes, by burning away the ground,
Mr. Little claims to have lost 127 bales
I,
two bridges, eighteen stack bottoms
and 264 acres of standing timothy grass.
The fire is alleged to have burned near
ly four weeks.
In his answer to the suit, the railroad
company denies the allegations of the
complaint as to negligence and the
amount Of damages caused by the fire,
and offers in evidence an offer in writ
ing by which it is willing to admit Of
Judgment in the sum Of S. 500 AS a
defense it also quotes a section Of the
Wisconsin law referring TO suits against
railroads which states that notice Of
the action shall be made to the defend
ant within one year, and in the same
manner required for service of sum-
mons in courts Of record. This law is
in effect still, and judgment for defend
ant is demanded on the ground that it's
requirements were not complied with.
Mr. Little occupied the stand through
out yesterday testifying in his own be-
half.
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-11-11

cided that Mrs. Markoe is not entitled
to the relief sought. The court sets
forth that the facts as found to exist
from the evidence are as follows:
On Feb. IL, 1895, with the plaintiffs full
knowledge, privity and consent, and upon
her urgent solicitation defendant went to
the Pacific coast leaving his wife and child
IN ST. Paul, for the purpose of improving his
financial condition and earning livelihood for
himself and family; and with like privity
and consent has ever since been absent and
remained away with like purpose, but in
tending to return to his wife and family as
soon as he should accomplish his purposes
which he had hoped and expected would soon
be brought about, and has been always anx-
ious, ready and willing to return to his wife
whenever she should desire 1t.
Defendant never at any time deserted
plaintiff, nor has he lived apart from her
save under these conditions.
The decision Of the court as a matter
of fact wholly nullif1es the charges of
Mrs. Markoe against her husband, and
instead Of him being a deserter Of his
wife and child, shows him to have
been so deeply concerned for their well
fare that he was willing to give up the
comforts Of their society that he might
rebuild his lost fortune and again pro-
vide them the luxuries Of life to which
they were accustomed.
During the trial Of Mrs. Markoe's
suit 1t came out in the evidence that
she had told her brother-in-law, Will
ildI1 . MdIhOe, lIldI IL n0r uluSDduO Up
posed her suit on the ground Of deser-
ton she would bring a second action on
more serious charges. The threat of
Mrs. Markoe, it was stated by William
F. Markoe on the witness stand, was
made in an effort to get him to inf1u-
ence his brother to allow the suit to go
by default.
Mr.. Markoe has been absent for
nearly two years. AS a member Of an
old settler family, he was formerly
resident Of st. Paul, where he married
the plaintiff. Previous to her marriage
with Mr. Markoe, Mrs. Markoe was the
wife of a Mr. Semple, from whom she
was separated by a decree of divorce.
She had an infant son whom Mr..
Markoe adopted, bestowing upon him
his own name. Mr.. Markoe, previous
to leaving ST. Paul, was an attorney,
well known among the members of the
bar. Mrs. Markoe in the complaint in
her action for divorce, alleged this go
ing away as the act Of desertion for
which she sought relief.

SOMETHING NEW In THE LINE OF
sWINDLENG MAKES IT'S AP-
PElARANCE.
PAPER Is cGoTTEN UP WELL
AND THE MAN WHO PRESENTS TT
MAKES THE PLAY
STRONGER.
POINTS FOR OTHER MERCHANTS.
GriSgs, Cooper & Co. Pay One OF
These Bits of Paper, They Sup
posed for j. f. Frederick.

There are bogus check CRAFTS of
various kinds. Some are good and
some are SO poor that 1t is often @
matter of surprise to the police how
person can be caught with them One
of the strongest ones that has come to
the notice Of the police turned up yes
terday. AS a matter Of fact they
learned about it three days ago but
kept it quiet hoping that it would
not be attempted again. Yesterday,
however, they learned of another case
The other evening a young man
stepped into one of the ST. Paul busi-
ness houses with check for SIS, drawn
by a firm across the street. A Ger
mania bank check was used and, be-
sides a good specimen of the firms
signature being at the bottom, the
name Of the firm supposed to have
drawn the check was stamped across
the end. 1t looked as if it were printed.
but closer inspection showed that it
was simply stamped on. Then the
safety check mark or perforation for
the sum for which the check was
drawn also made it look good. But it
wasn't the appearance of the check
to cash it more than it was the man
who presented 1t. He walked in with
out hat or coat on and with a pencil
back of his ear. 1t was, to all ap-
pearances, as If he had stepped across
the street to get a little accommodation
The SIS were paid and that was the
last seen of the enterprising crook,
SO far as that firm was concerned. In
course of time it developed it was a
forgery.
The same scheme was played to get
$45 out Of Griggs, Cooper & Co. The
fellow walked into their establishment
about o'clook-that is the hour he
selects-with a check purporting to
have been drawn by j. F. Broderick, of
the Ryan Drug company. The two
establishments are almost across Third
street from each other. Here was an
other check gotten up as the first one,
with nice attention to details, and here
was the man without a coat, with a
pencil over his ear and having the
appearance 70 having just stepped
across the street. Of course, Griggs,
Cooper & Co. would accommodate Mr..
Broderick. The $45 were paid, but in
stead Of it's being an accommodation
for their business neighbors, it was
contribution to a smooth sWindler,
working a new check game in st. Paul.

WAS PUT OFF A TRAIN.
Why John McCaffery Sues the Great
Northern,

According to the complaint in a suit
ii fought against the Great Northern
railroad yesterday by John McCaffery,
the latter suffered untold discomfort
by being elected from one of the COM
Iany's trains when he had a valid
ticket, and it will require $25,0OO to set
him right. Plaintiff alleges that hC
purchased a ticket on the Great North
ern road from Butte, Mont, to Devil S
Lake, N. D., and that when he reached
a point eighty miles from his destina-
ton, the conductor refused to carry
him further. He had no money to pay
more fare, though his ticket was still
good and was forced to walk to Devils S
Lake. He was put off the train at 5
o'clock in the morning and tramped
over the prairies until noon of the
third day. BY reason Of his exposure
and hunger on the trip, McCaffery
claims to have been sick and sore and
to have sustained injuries from which
he fears he will never recover.

ELMBORG GETS LEFT.
His Suit Against the Street Railway
Is Dismissed.

In the case of John P Elmborg
against the City Railway company,
Judge Otis yesterday sustained defend
ants demurrer to the complaint, thus
throwing the case out of court. The
incident may serve as a lesson to
those who imagine they can conduct
their law suits as we'll as an attorney
This was the opinion held by Mr. Elm
borg, who proceeded in the case on his
own responsibility, concerning which
Judge Otis has to say in memoran-
dunn attached to his order as follows
After a very careful consideration of the
complaint, l am unable to find any cause of
action stated therein. Plaintiff seems to have
had his day in court. Had he submitted the
matter to counsel learned in the law instead
of acting for himself, upon his own motion,
without legal assistance, the action would
doubtless never have been brought.

IOWA OUT FOR A TEST.
New BattIeship Is Being Tried by
Her Builders.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1O.-The new
united States battleship Iowa steamed down
the Delaware river this forenoon for her
builders trial in the Atlantic ocean off the
delaware capes. The ship is almost com
testing the stability of her hull and machin-
cry. While she is away a test of her speed
may also be made, although there is no doubt
OF the ships ability to exceed the speed re-
qulrement of sixteen knots an hour. The
trial is entirely private and the Cramps have
sole charge, the government being repre-
sented by one officer, Lieut., Lucien Flynne,
who has been stationed at the shipyard since
the construction of the Iowa was begun.
Superintending Engineer Edwin S. Cramp
represents the builders and Capt w. r. Sar-
gent will navigate the ship. Good weather
is promised and it is expected that the Iowa
will be back at her dock by Saturday.

district court. The action brought by
Mrs. Markoe was prosecuted vigorously
by her attorneys, who threw wide the
door of the Markoe family closet in an
endeavor to establish the fact of deser-
ton on the part Of Mr.. Markoe. Not
withstanding, however, that he was at
the time the suit was brought living
in the distant city Of New Orleans, Mr..
