SAGINAW PEOPLE WALKING.

Tied Up.

Tied Up.
Saginaw, Mich, July 19.-The city's
street railway system is completely tied
up as a result of a several months
fight between the city and the Union
Street Railway company, which culmi-
mated recently in n decision by the SUI
preme court sustaining the right of the
city to take any measures to compel the
railway company to settle certain spe-
cial Improvement taxes. Following this
the common council declared the COM
pany's franchise forfeited. Action like
that was not expected, however, until
next week.

Grant in 1854.

The failure of Grant & Ward in
May, 1884, took the heart out of Gen.
Grant, and the old soldier prepared
to die. The last time | saw him look
ing even tolerably we'll was a short
while afterward in the church of the
Incarnation in Madison avenue. He
was thereattending the funeral Of an
old army friend. When he left the
church people made way and allowed
him to creep out alone, asmall, dark
visaged, weary man, bowed with his
troubles down almost to the very
ground. Not a soul spoke to him,
though all recognized the figure Re
spect for his grief caused all to keep
aloof. He went up the avenue alone,
like man who was carrying tons in
his shoes.-New York Press.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

When woman has had dyspepsia
for two weeks she calls it a broken
heart.
Babies are like combs: a woman
will take anyone that comes, but a
man wants his own.
After an old bachelor takes to
drinking tea instead of coffee, there is
no more hope for him.
When one woman tells another what
her husband said when he proprosed
TO her, it is a sign that she is lying.
No man knows the possibilities in a
woman till be has seen her up on a
stepladder, with an old fowl pinned
over her head.-New York Press.

About the Cotton Belt Rail-
road.

The talk about the Cotton Belt Rail-
road building from Delta 20 Gray's
Point has again broke ont. The jack
son Volksfreund this week publishes
an interview with ". H. Miller.
attorney for that road, from which il
appears that the Cotton Belt people
intend to build to Gray's Point be-
cause suitable terminals cannot be
secured al Cape Girardeau. This is
all a mistake. OF course the Gotten
Belt may not be able to get the termi
mails of The Houc!; road. but terminals
just As good caa Ge secured on the
river wi-nin iiye hundred feet of tie
present incline.
- Why dom; the COtten Belt people
tell the people of Cape Girardeau
what they want: We can secure them
twenty acres of nice level land for
terminals if they mean business. but
we can't bulldoze HOnck togive uphis
railroad. We can assure Col.
FOrdyce that our people mean busi-
ness if he will rive US something to
work on besides trying to get the ter
minals of Houck's road.
SO far as building a road 10 Gray,s
Point IS concerned we feel satisfied
that the intelligent officers controlling
the Cotton Belt wiil find that scheme
impracticable. We were raised in the
rugged hills of that section OF Scott
county and we know all about the
country OF over which the road weuld
have 20 run. The line from Delta TO
Gray Peint Is longer and more ex-
peasive 10 builC tnan d line from
Delta to Cape Girardeau, besides an
incline at Gray's Point would be cost
ly, and when it connes to building a
bridge the conditions are unfavorable
onaccount OF the sharp turn in the
river. Again, it woald cost the road on
lhe'Iliinois side Of the river 800, 900 10
build to Gray's Point. Then too it
should be remembered that via Gray's
Point would be ter miles Ion ger than
via Cape Girardeau.
We do not believe that the construc-
ton of the road te Gray S Pointweuld
seriously injure Cape Girardeau. It
may benefit the property owners of
Gray's Point, Col. Sturdivant. Capt
Gray and Mrs. Houck. In fact we
understand the projected line will run
through the land of Mrs. Houck for
about three miles. We honestly be-
lieye that the Cotton Belt will injure
itself more than any one else by build
ing to Gray's Point. as they would
not secure one pound of freight from
that place. On the other hand By COM
ing to Cape Glrardeau they would get
enough local business to pay interest
on the capital Invested.
Again We say to the Cotton Belt
people, You can secure terminals here
if you want them and the people of
Cape Girardeau are willing to help
YOU literally.

wsman Guilty of a Pension Fraud

KANSAS CITY, Nc, April PA
woman was the defendant in a pension
fraud trial before Judge Philips in the
United States District Court this
morning. Mrs. Elizabeth Sandt u
years old. who lives near Butler. Mo-.
made an application for a pension
two years ago on account of the death
of her husband. Frederick Tieman,
who was a member ofthe llSth Illinois
Regiment. In her application she
said that her husband died in 1872.
from consumption and other diseases
contracted during the war. An in
vestigation by the pension examiner
showed that Tieman was killed by
train while working as a section
hand near Quincy. III. Mrs Sandt
afterward made full confession of
the facts. She defended herself on the
grounds. that she thought by confes-
sion she would escape prosecution.
The limit of the punishment is ten
years in the penitentiary. A half
dozen others are implicated in the
same affair.
