NO HOPE.

The independent mine owners
and others interested in securing
legislation providing for a reduc
ton of rates on iron ore have
practically abandoned all hope
of success during the present
session. It was reported here
yesterday that members at ST..
Paul who have charge Of the
Douglass bill that will come up
for consideration in the house,
after having thoroughly can:
vassed the situation are con.
WINGED that their efforts will be
futile and that the bill will fail of
passage. It has been discovered
that quite a number of influential
members whose aid has been
confidently relied upon have
changed their views on the sub.
ject and instead of supporting
the measure, will strongly OPP
pose it The reason given for
this change of front is that a
forced reduction of freight rates
would not benefit independent
mine owners for the reason that
all that is taken off of the freight
charges would be added to the
dock charges at Cleveland, over
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1897-04-02

which the Minnesota Legislature
has 40 control, and that in the
end the cost of :ore delivered at
Cleveland would be the same.
While the true friends Of the
bill do not admit the correctness
OF this view and deny that the
ore docks at Cleveland are under
the control of the owners of the
two range railroads they appear
to have been unable to convince
many legislators that a reduc-
ton of rail freight rates would
relieve the independent mine
owners from the unpleasant stu.
alton in which they now find
themselves. Herald.

LEFT LEG AMPUT.1TED,

James Columbus, formerly
first baseman for the Virginia
base ball team and an employe
of the D. M. & NJ, had the mis-
fortune some three weeks since
to be run over by a logging sled
near Nestoria, receiving serious
injuries. He was removed to a
Hospital at Baraga, Mich, for
medical attendance. The last
issue of the Baraga pape" an
nounces the amputation of
his left leg above the knee was
found necessary, the operation
being performed a week since.
Jim has many friends here who
regret to learn of his mishap.

THE REdPPORTIONMENT

Representative P. r. Vail ar.
rived in the city this morning
from St. Paul aud left for his
home at E y this afternoon. To
an Evening Herald reporter Mr..
Vail said that he did not think
there was longer any doubt as to
the passage of the reapportlon
ment bill which will give to St..
Louis county two more senator's
and three more representatives,
making in all three senators and
six members of the lower house
With this representation in the
legislature, Mr.. Vail thinks St.
LOUIS county will be in a posi-
ton to get more nearly what it
is entitled to at the hands of the
law makers.
The Reeves bill. Mr.. Vail be-
lieves, will fail Of passage in the
senate. At any rate, it will be
materially amended, and the
probability is that it will be
knocked out altogether.
Mr.. Vail will remain in Ely
over Sunday and return to ST..
Paul to be present at the session
Of the house Tuesday afternoon,
when the governors veto of the
Hastings asylum bill will be a
special order. He is of the opin
ion that the bill will be passed
over the governors veto.

THREE FIRES IN BELLE HAVEN.
Harms or summer Residents R~urned-CottaGes
Mere In Danger.

GREENWICH. Conn, Sept. l9.-Belle Haven
narrowly escaped destruction by fire soon after
noon to-day. Just as the people were coming
from the village churches and the Belle Haven
residents were driving home in their carriages a
cloud Of black smoke came from Otter Rock
Drive. in the centre OF Belle Haven. The viii
lage fire bells sounded an alarm. but it was
some time before tho fire apparatus reached
tho scene, because the fremen were attend
ing church or were at their homes and the
nre WAS fully three miles from the village.
When the fremcn arrived with their apparatus
tho barns on the places owned by Nathaniel
Smith, Joseph Thompson. and Miss Anna Whit
ney were blazing. The barns are close together.
The dwellings on the three places are only q
short distance away. There was a brisk south
west wind blowing. Tho fremen had q hard
battle with the flames for an hour or more to
keep them from spreading to the surrounding
houses.
Nearly all the houses in Belle Haven are built
OF wood, and 1t was feared that the suburban
resort WAS doomed. The work OF the tremen,
however, WAS successful after two hours. and
the FIR was confined to the three barns, The fire
started In the barn on the Joseph Thompson
place. The family were sitting on the piazza
when the flames seemed to envelop the barn.
There was not sufficient time to get out the
horses. and four were burned. together with
valuable carriages and contents. IL is not
known how the fire started.
