SION COMPANY RETURNS TO
SOUTH ST. PAUL.
MISTAKE MADE IN MOVING.
WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM SAYS THEY
PULLED OUT FOR LACK OF
BUSINESS.
OTHER FIRMS TO FOLLOW SUI
If Other Things Were Equal, Its In
accessibility Would Prevent
Its Success.

New Brighton is doomed. AS stock
yards and commission center, William
Cunningham says it will not do.
Within the past few weeks some of
the commission firms there have either
removed to the Union stock yards at
South st. Paul, or have discontinued
business entirely The immediate
cause of this is said to be the trouble
or differences of opinion existing be-
tween the manager, Philip Schufeldt,
and the stockmen, but just what this
difficulty is none of them seem to be
able to tell-or at least they will not
tell-but the fact of the whole matter
is some of the commission men who
have tried it say. there has been no
business. New Brighton is so unfortu-
nately located that it is practically in
accessible by stock buyers and they
have passed it up" The street car,
bus and railroad combination neces-
sary to get to the yards make them
as difficult to approach as the Klon-
dixie gold fields.
New Brighton first began to boom
about seven years ago, and for a
couple of years the commission men
did a good business, then it began to
retrograde and three years ago some
of the concerns pulled out This
spring an attempt was made to re-
vive it. but the effort, it is said, has
fallen fat
One of the Oldest and most promi-
nent concerns in the state is that of
the Cunningham Live Stock Commits
Gil +
back in TO- at the old Seven Corners
yards. Then, following the trend of
trade it drifted to other points, not
ably the Minnesota Transfer, and in
1890 it went to New Brighton. Three
years ago it pulled out, but last spring
it was induced to go back there again.
1t speedily became apparent, though,
that that was no place to do business
and two weeks ago it went to South
st. Paul.
OF the other concerns there, George
Stevens and Tuitt & Co. have closed
up. and Fitch & Co reduced their force
In speaking about the matter, William
Cunningham said yesterday:
we were forced to pull out because
there was no business left there There
has been some difficulty between Schu-
1elul, VINO practlcally owns the place,
and the stockyards people, but what it
was cannot say; Mr.. Schufeldt always
used me well. We have moved down to
South st. Paul and our business there
has surprised us. That place is surely
going to boom, especially if the pack
ing houses are started up Several oth-
ers of the New Brighton people will
also be found there in the near fu-
ture.
''The great draw back to New Brigh-
ton is, that it is practically inaccessi-
bic for buyers. 1t takes over an hour
to get out from st. Paul or Minneapolis
and their facilities for getting back are
toe uncertain

AN ORPHAN ORDINANCE.

The ordinance proposing TO convey the
fee of the streets of st. Paul practically
to the city railway company does not
seem to grow in grace or popularity
with further consideration. When, last
night, demand was made and repeat
ed to know who introduced or was re-
sponsible for it, not a member OF the
council made reply. There is no one
willing to acknowledge its paternity.
There is no one who would not be
ashamed to be thought guilty of hav-
ing brought forward a proposition SO
repugnant to all the interests OF st.
Paul. There has not been a voice rails
ed in it's favor by any citizen. In all
the meetings that have been held, in
all the arguments before the committee
on streets, citizens have been present
in large numbers and were invited to
express themselves. OF all of them, not
a man had word TO say in defense of
this surrender of our rights, this injury
to our property and our business. Is
it not strange that a measure so uni
versally condemned, one against which
the people are protesting by every
means within their power, should OBJ
tain a moments hearing and should
even be made the subject matter Of
proposed caucus of the council? 1t is
an orphan and an outcast, and still
there are those who would care for it
tenderly.
One suggestion was made at the
meeting last evening which we recon-
mend strongly to consideration by our
people. In answer to the question what
means could be adopted to require the
company to make necessary improve
ments in it's service without giving in
exchange concessions worth several
times as much, it was advised that the
council pass resolution declaring the
service on the cable line to be made
quate, and not reasonable within the
meaning of the ordinance granting a
| franchise, and instructing the legal
representative of the city to take prop
er steps to have the franchise declared
FORFEITED by the courts. Inere can De
no manner of doubt that such a step
would be followed by every improve
ment that the public could ask or ex-
pect in the facilities offered to them
The issue is not one that the company
can afford to have tried, and it can be
obliged to render such service as it
promised in return for permission to
establish it's line Had we a council
eager to stand by the people, this
remedy would be applied at once. 1t is
too much to expect it from men who
are willing to listen to such PROPOSE
tions as are embodied in the present
ordinance, but it will be we'll for the
people to remember that this weapon
is in their hands when they shall be
able to use it. Meantime the ordinance
that has been the subject of so much
discussion lies hidden, awaiting future
consideration, and we recommend the
public to keep a watchful eye upon it's
temperance in such shape as it's
friends may think it possible to force
it to vote.

CROP CONDITIONS GRAVE,
European Shortage as Great as in
the Last Famine Year ~

the Last Famine Year
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Aug. 25-An
extensive inquiry into European crop
conditions, conducted by the Orange
Judd syndicate of agricultural papers.
Including the American Agriculturist,
of New York, the Orange Farmer, of
Chicago, and the New York Home
stead, of Springfield, Mass, indicates
that the food crop situation abroad is
very grave. Estimates of Europe's Tin
Guiding Englan6 needs of wheat i'm
ports range all the way from 300, 900 900
to 100000 900 bushels. Europe's wheat
crops for 1895, 1894 and 1893 averaged
about 1,500 100000 bushels, In the year
1891, it was only 100000, 900. The i'm
preston is gaining ground that Eu-
ropes wheat crop this year is, even less
than in 1891. But this is not the worst
oft. Europe usually produces as much
rye as she does wheat. 1t is the bread
grain of the masses. The rye crop of
the principal European countries Rus-
STA, Germany, France, Austria, Bull
garia, Roumania and Italy and the low
countries and Sweden) has averaged
about 1,300,000,000 bushels annually for
1896, 1885, 1894 and 1898. This season the
rye crop of these countries cannot
much exceed S75, 000,000 bushels. Quite
as bad is the potato prospect. Only
about 1856, 900 bushels of potatoes will
be harvested in these countries this
year. Without regard to the United
Kingdom, or other European countries,
there is a shortage of some 1000, 000, 900
bushels of potatoes. European short
ages, compared with averages. follow:
Wheat, 100000, 900 bushels; rye, 325, 0OO,-
900 bushels; potatoes, 1000. 900 900 bush
els; total, 1925, 100000.

POWER HOUSE BURNED.
Fire Believed to he the Work of
Incendiarfes.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug 25.-The
power house of the Federal Coal COM
pany, operated by E. w. Powers, at
Federal, Pa, on the Pittsburg, Char
tiers & Youghiogheny railroad, was
destroyed by fire shortly after mid
night. The flames spread rapidly and
great difficulty was experienced in
saving the tipple. There seems to be
no doubt that the fire was the work of
incendiaries. as three men were seen
running down the railroad a few min
utes before the flames were discovered.
Since the strike was started, Mr. Pow
ers has made himself unpopular by
threatening to import colored men and
start his mines. The federal mines
were operated by machinery

COUNT MUTSU DEAD.
One of the Prominent Men of Mod
ern Japan.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-A tela-
gram was received at the Japanese
legation today announcing the death
or Count MutSu, eX-minister of for
elgn affairs and Japanese minister to
the United Sites, in 1883. The news
was not at all unexpected, as the count
had been i'll with lung trouble for a
long time, and was compelled by i'll
health to resign his Office about a year
ago. His illness recently took an acute
form, and his son, who was at the time
secretary of legation here, was recalled
to his fathers bedside.
Count Mutsu was one of the most
distinguished men in the history of the
new Japanese movement, and
with the Marquis Ito, mould
ed the policy of the modern
empire and successfully carried the
country through the crisis of the Chi
nese war. When holtilities were over
he was a member of the peace conven-
tion, and framed the treaty which Sc
cured to Japan such great commercial
and political advantages. His services
to his country were equally marked in
fostering the new party movement that
for several years, prior to the Chinese
war, had eagerly absorbed every ma
terial advantage offered by Western
civilization.

If Necessary.

PARIS, Aug. 25.-Premier Meline, ad-
dressing the delegates to the council
general of thef department of the Seine
and the municipality of Paris, today,
on the rise in the price of wheat, de-
clared that he would submit the ques-
ton to the cabinet, adding that he
would not hesitate to reduce the tariff
if the rise was genuine and not specu-
lative This, he continued, would need
careful investigation. Prices were al
ready beginning to fall, and promised
to continue falling. The government,
the premier said in conclusion, would
dc its utmost to reduce the increase in
price without sacrificing the interests
of the agricultural classes.

New Fireproof Building Material

A new building material is proposed
by a Bostons inventor-name not given
one Of the prominent advantages of
which for building purposes is its fire
proof quality. 1t is described as COM
'bnation of pulverized stone, coal Gin
.derS, sawdust or other substances, with
magnesia and two chemicals which are
not made known. 1t is run into moulds
when in a semi-liquid state and hardens
in twenty-four hours, there being no
burning, as with clay products, the set
being a chemical one. Various cub
stances may be used as the base of the
compound. Puverized marble chips
yield product to all appearances like
natural marble, with the crystalline for
nation and texture of that stone; and
when poured on plate glass good polish
is obtained without further treatment,
and by the use of polished brass moulds
different shapes may be obtained. For
fireproofing blocks and bricks, coal Gin
ders ground quite fine, with a small
amount of sawdust, are employed; these
fireproofing blocks are claimed to be one
third lighter than those of terra Gotta
of the same size, while the cost is re-
duceG to nearly one-half that of the
latter; and the new material being light
err, the space. between floor beams may
be further and the steel frame of the
building lighter, thus reducing the ma
terial required very CONSIDERABLY New

BALLAD OF THE BIKE


Augustus was nice young man, in style
quite up to date;
Considered an authority in fashions new
and late
And in the course of time he did as all
young men will do,
He met and loved charming girl whose
name was Helen Drew.
Augustus had wheel, of course. and
often went to ride
He thought he was in Paradise with Helen
by his side
Until one day his sweetheart said: "As
sure as I'm alive,
My wheel goes Just as fast as yours, and
mines '95!'
Augustus nearly had a flt; how such
things must amaze!
This dreadful breach of etiquette would
haunt him all his days!
And TO his love that night he vowed, by all
his hopes of heaven,
With her again he would not ride till she
bought 81.
Both lovers lost their temper, and some
bitter words were said;
He swore she had no feeling, and she
wished that she We're dead
But finally they compromised, forgot their
words at random,
Got married and exchanged their wheels
for 81 tandem.
