OBITUARY.
Johnson.

Miss Hattie Johnson. the 16-year-oid
daughter of Mrs. Gerena Johnson. died
Monday little before midnight at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Charles p.
Critchfield, on South street. Miss
Johnson resided with her mother at
Dunbar, but they had been in the city
caring for Mrs Critchfleld, who had
been III with the fever. On her recoH-
cry, her sister, who had been nursing
her. was taken with the same disease.
She had been i'll for six weeks before
her death. A sad feature in connec-
ton with this death is the fact that
another member of the family has
been stricken with the same disease.
Mr.. Eli johnson, who recently returned
home to Cushion after spending a
month here caring for his sister, is
lying very low and telegram was re-
ceiyed by his mother Monday stating
that he was dying and advising her to
come at once. The deceased. besides
her mother her sister and brother
mentioned, leaves sister, Mrs. Louise
Selvog, and five brothers, Messrs. John
BENJAMIN, Cornelius, julius and George
Johnson, all of this city. The funeral
will be held Wednesday Afternoon at
O'Clock at Stavanger.

storms the waves dash against the tower,
but this was my first actual experience
of Minot's ledge taking on sea"
To understand just what that means
you must know that Minot's ledge light
house is built on rock that is under wa
ter and that, excepting at extreme low
tide, the gray granite tower is entirely
surrounded by water. 1t is the American
"Eddystone,' but il anything it is more
exposed than that famous light off the
English coast. Outlying lodges some
what protect the Eddystone from heavy
seas. and the rock on which it stands is
above water in all tides, SO that it offers
a better foundation than Minot's. This
latter has no protection against the full
sweep of a NORTHEASTERN except ledge
known as the outer Minot, and this is en-
tirely submerged at high tide.
The crash which made me start was re-
peated again and again during the night,
as wave after wave swept in and broke
against the tower. In heavy storms there
are times when from the shore. some
miles distant, Minot's ledge lighthouse
seems to be buried by the sea. The
waves strike the tower about 20 feet
above the base and send tons of spray as
high as % feet above the dome. The
mass of water then comes crashing down
upon the lantern and, streaming over it.
falls like cataract into the ocean. The
llfeboat, which hangs from this parapet,
so feet above the sea, would be dashed
I to pieces if it were on the weather side.
Even where it hangs now, partly protect
ed by the tower, it would probably be
broken by the cataract if the plugs were
not drawn from its bottom to allow the
water to run out freely.

A SORT o. BLACKLIST
That's What Rev. Abrams Proposes
to Establish If : Court Decision
IL Favorable.
II the Supreme Court Knocks Out
Mulct Petitions He Will Seek
To Forsstall New Ones.
Proposes to Classify and Print the
Names Of All Signers to
same.

Rev. III. II. Abrams, field superintend-
who is at present working in this city
and vicinity, was asked today as to the
progress OF the case In the supreme
court on which the validity Of the mulct
petitions in Marshalltown, Des Moines
and other cities Of the state Is attacked.
Mr.. Abrams said decision was expect
ed at the present term or the court, and
that it might be handed down at any
time within the next four weeks.
The case in question is one appealed
by the Anti-Saloon League from Des
Moines, and in which Judge Bishop
ruled against the league in it's conten-
ton that certain of the mulct petitions
of several cities were Illegal in that the
technical requirements of the law had
not been met. Rev. Abrams expresses
himself as confident that the court Will
uphold the league in its contention.
Provided the mulct petitions are de-
clared invalid, Rev. Abrams and the
league have a plan which they think
lions in some places, and of which he
asked the T.-R. to tell the people. 1t is
sort of blacklist He says that the
names on the new petitions will be pub
lished by the league and they will be
classified into groups giving each mans
church Affiliations, if he has any, and
other facts. For instance the Methodist
signers will be given a place in one
group, the Christians another, and SO
on down the list. In just what manner
these names will be published Rev
Abrams did not say. but it is presumed
that IL the newspapers refuse to devote
| the necessary space, circulars viii
! be printed and scattered broadcast.
OF course the object hoped to be thus
attained is to discourage people from
going on record as in favor of the mulc'
saloon. While those of decided convic-
lions would probably not hesitate t.
place those convictions on record, the
threat to print the names might detel
| some from signing the petitions, ane
would probably result in the failure o.
the saloonists to secure the requisite
i number of names in the smaller cities
where public sentiment is about equal!
divided as between prohibition ant
i mulct saloons.

TROUBLE OVER STREET.
Mayor Fierce Stops the Work of
the Northwestern on Rails
Street.
Arrests All the Workmen-Matter
is Later Adjusted and Work
Resumed.
Company Had Purchased Rights in
1891-Deed to Lot Never
Filed.

AS the result of complaints that the
C. & N. w. Railway Company was
stealing a whole street in the south
east portion of the city, the force of
workmen engaged in making excava-
lions and preparing to lay more tracks
was arrested Monday evening and the
work was temporarily stopped. The
men We're arrested at O'clock by Mar
shall Jones under blanket information
charging John Jones and others" with
obstructing the public streets.
The street where the work is in prog
ress is Rails, a street running east
from Sixth avenue and three and one
half blocks in length. The Northwest
ern owns right of way on both sides OF
the thoroughfare and has one track
abutting the street on the north. The
company is preparing to lay tracks in
the street, and had done considerable
work thereon when the men were ar
rested. The latter We're not jailed, but
We're notified to appear in the mayors
court at 9 o'clock this morning.
AT that time Agent F. B. Garvin and
others of the Northwestern officials APP
peared and the matter was satisfactor-
lily adjusted. The railway company was
able to show that it had the right to lay
two tracks on the street. as this privi-
lege was obtained in 1891. when, for a
consideration of $1,000 in cash and the
deed to portion of lot on the north
side of the street an ordinance
was passed by the city coun-
Gil giving the railroad right OF
way for one or more tracks
A resolution limited this right to two
tracks. which, Mr.. Garvin says. is all
the company was planning to lay. He
says the complaint was evidently
lodged on the theory that the company
| was trying to monopolize the whole
street and not leave enough room for {
driveway, but this was not the inten-
| ton.
| While the city records show that tn,
| deed for the lot and the money Were
| rendered, the deed was never filed foi
record and never reached the hands o
the city clerk. What has become of i
is not known, but Mr.. Garvin says tn,
company has since looked upon the 10
as city property and has never mad
claim to its ownership. He says fur
/ Their that new deed viii be given if j
/ is desired,
