What the Annual Report of the
Duluth, Missabe q Northern
VIII show,

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 7.-TOmorrow
the annual meeting of the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern railroad will be held
here. President E. T. Gates and Gen
eral Counsel George Wildwood Murray
will be here. and probably John D.
Rockefeller Jr., whom Mr.. Gates is in
itiating In business and corporation
methods. The meeting will be a formal
one, and no information will be given
out.
The statement required to be given
to the board of railroad commissioners
annually Will be sent to ST Paul in a
day or two. 1t shows this road, not
withstanding the alleged fictitious val
uation placed on it, to be the best pay
ing road in America, and to have adj
ded greatly to the wealth of the rich
est man in America. The report is for
the year ending June 80, 1897. The
road has 1857 miles, alleged to have
cost $7,976, 446, or 1921 a mile. Almost
any railroad contractor, it is said,
would duplicate it for $4,000 a mile,
except, possibly, the entrance to Du-
luth. It's capital stock Is 81, 512,5 500 and
funded debt S., 463, 1854. The earnings
for the year were 81, $50. 245, divided as
follows: Passenger, $29,336; mail, $7,696;
freight, 81 ,544 $50; miscellaneous, 1852.
This gives gross earnings of 81 ,28438
mile The operating expenses were
81, O96.46 mile, leaving $7,1S7.92 a mile
as net earnings. The net income was
81, O22, O95. The interest on funded debt
was $4,000, and taxes $31,729, a total
of 1911, 729 This would seem to leave
s7O4, 266 for the stockholders, but fur
Their amount is deducted under the
head Of "other deductions" This is
S5S7, 1856, and there is no explanation OF
what it is This leaves only $1161S1 as
net income, but this is more than per
cent on the stock. The gross earnings
for the year 1896 were even larger, be-
ing So, 037 ,937 Rockefellei's profits from
these properties can only be guessed

The transcontinental lines, which
have been figuring for some time upon
changing the leaving time of their
coast trains, have practically conclud-
ed the detail Of the new plan, and, as
told in The G o b e, the change will
go into effect this coming Sunday.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific trains will leave at 100, instead
of 4:30 p. m, and will arrive at the
coast at o'clock in the morning, in
stead of later in the day as at present.
In both cases the running time of the
big cross-country trains is shortened
up between here and the coast. The
Great Northern will start three hours
earlier and will arrive at the coast at
O'Clock instead of 1920 a. m.
The Northern Pacific likewise will
start its train three hours earlier than
at present and will reach the cities
on the slope five hours earlier than the
present card, cutting off two hours in
the actual running time. The card, as
made up yesterday, shows that most
of this time is made on the 1,500-nile
run between here and Spokane. The
time for the present and new schedules
is as follows:

The decision of the supreme court yes
terday in the suit of Eliza Finley VS..
The Milwaukee Railroad, the syllabus
Of which is as follows:
Eliza Finley, respondent, vs. Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul Railway Company, ap-
pellant.
In an action for damages for injuries al
legged to have been caused by defendants
negligence, resulting in the collision at a
highway crossing Of defendants train with
the wagon in which plaintiff was riding.
Held, the evidence justified the Jury in
finding that defendant was negligent In
falling to ring the bell of its locomotive
when approaching the crossing.
2. Plaintiff riding with her husband
at his invitation, in his wagon drawn by
his horses, which he was driving at the
time of the injury. She had no control
over him in the management of the team;
he was not her servant or agent and they
were not engaged in joint enterprise 1t is
conceded for the purposes OF the case that
he was negligent in falling to look and
listen before attempting to cross the railroad
track.
Held, his negligence is not imputable to
her.
Held, further, it was a question for the
jury whether she was guilty of contributory
negligence in failing herself to look and
listen, or to observe that her husband was
not using due care to look and listen, if
such the fact.
3. Other rulings of the court disposed of.

TO REFORM MAYNARD GIRLS.
Mother Provincial Says That Is the
House of Good Shepherds
Purpose.

When the trial of the case of Selma
CleWett against the House of the Good
Shepherd was resumed yesterday fore
noon in Judge Bunn's court, the room
was crowded as usual.
Immediately after court opened
Judge Bum announced that he would
not require the defendants to produce
in court the record book Of the House
Of the Good Shepherd. Mr.. Butts, on
behalf of the plaintiff, excepted to the
ruling. The mother provincial then re-
sumed the witness stand, and plain
tiff's counsel continued his examina-
ton.
In substance, the mother provincial
testified that the House of the Good
Shepherd was a charitable institution,
refOrmatOry, not an academy. It's
purpose was the reformation of licen-
tious women and wayward girls and
the protection of homeless children
The women were employed in sewing
and laundry work The members of
the sisterhood worked with the girls
in the laundry, and the sisters were
served with the same food as the girls
On crOss-eXamination the mother Su-
perior said that from time to time var-
Gus people, including the judges of the
municipal court, the members of the
w. G. T. U. and many prominent citi-
Zens, visited the House Of the Good
Of the legislature had visited the in
Stitution.
On the redirect by Mr. Butts, the
mother superior testified that, when
a girl who Is of age makes a positive
demand to be released, she was al
lowed to go.
I've often plead with the girls" con-
tinued the witness, when they re-
quest to go out. knowing their charac-
tiers and the dangers besetting them
in the world"
when girls escaped, it made no i'm
preston on your"
mot a great deal. These hayward
girls often escape from their own
homes
This concluded the examination of
the mother superior. Mr.. Butts then
recalled Selma Clewett, the plaintiff.
and finished the direct examination at
$3.50 p. M The remaining hour and a
half was devoted to the cross xamina-
ton Of Miss Clewett by Gen. Clapp.

in fact, paid, nor was any other sum
whatever paid the Sheriff by Kelley.
No redemption from the sale was ever
made.
After the expiration OF the redemp-
ton period, Kelley conveyed the land
to Patrick McFadden, who paid him
$4,000 in cash and gave him notes for
S1,8C0, which he afterwards paid in
full. McFadden had no notice of any
irregularity in the sale to Kelley and
Wheat, the plaintiff, had no notice Of
the foreclosure of the Hack mort
gage. On the contrary, when the
mortgage fell due, Kelley wrote to
Wheat that Hack wanted an extern
sion of two years, and Wheat grant
ed 1t.
Judge Lochren decides that Wheat Is
the owner Of the note and mortgage.
and orders a decree in foreclosure The
court expresses sympathy for McFad-
den, who bought the land, but says
that Wheat cannot be made to stand
the loss occasioned by fraud.

The litigation between the Allie
nannia and Merchants banks, of this
.ity, was yesterday d. cided by the SUI
preme court. The syllabus Of the de-
lisiOn is as follows:
Merchants Ma ional Bank of st. Paul, ap-
pellant, vs. AIlemania Bank of st. Paul
ct al, respondents.
The borrower of money executed its de-
mand note to the lender for the amount
and secured the same with collaterals AS
the collaterals came due from tine to time,
they were redeiivered to the borrower for
collection. 1t collected the same and paid
the amount collected to the lender from
time to time as payments on the note, and
the same were received as such payments
and mingled with the other funds of the
lender. When enough was thus collected
and paid to pay the note nearly in full the
lender fraudulently sod and Endorsed the
note to plaintiff as wholly unpa d, and the
plaintiff received the same not knowing that
1t was ever secured by collateral or that
such collateral had ever been paid. There
after such borrower being insolyent, a re-
ceiver of its property was appointed for the
benefit Of its creditors. In an action
brought to have the amounts so received
declared trust on the funds in the hands
of the receiver,
Held, these amounts were received as pay
ments and such, though not Endorsed

Plans are under consideration for pro
viding a race meeting at the state fair
next fall which will bring together the
cracks Of the American turf The pur-
pose is to offer a $4,000 purse for trot-
tiers, and also a $4,000 purse for PAGERS.

chants of both cities will be requested
to aid the Fair association by sub
scribing the purses.
The merchants of st. Paul have al
