Ing no little trouble in getting his con-

has succeeded In getting a majority OF
the delegates-elect pledged to support s

Of the earth. The First ward leader. how

through without crack. 1t was hostile
to Hohmann's interest.

Despite all efforts on the part of the
fusion manipulators to make II appear
that harmony reigns IN the unhappy
family. the county convention, which
meets tomorrow, will witness one of the
bitterest fights OF recent years in county
politics. As q prominent Democratic
politician said yesterday: III the fusion
lists have no reason to quarrel they are
unhappy and Immediately look for an
excuse to fight" The bone Of contention
in tomorrow's union convention will be
the position on the superior bench for
which Judge Moore and r. c. Strudwick
are now aspirants.
Tt looks very much as II Mr. strudwick
was destined to merciless slaughter As
is well known, Judge Moore. when he
entered the fight for the nomination for
supreme Judge. pledged his support to
Mr.. Strudwick for the nomination for
superior Judge, with the understanding
that whatever turn the state convention
took he would not be a factor In tho
county fight. II Is now certain, how
ever, that Judge Moore's name will be
presented TO the county convention and
that his nomination will be insisted on
by a group of politicians who have been
members Of the Moore-Godwin faction in
times gone by

North. Western TO Run Larger Engines~St.
Paul Orders Forty New Ones.


The DIAMOND Dull learns that the
reason for the laying Of new rails ON the
Crystal Falls-Stager branch OF the G. 4
NV. railroad is to put the road IN
shape TO hold up the. immense engines
that will be placed on this run next sea-
son. We arc accustomed 10 the hog
type that has been pulling the freight for
some time past. The new engines will
be OF the same type but much larger and
heavier. Some idea Of the proportion
may he lnd when il is considered that
the new engines will pull forty loaded
ore cars from here TO Ilematte where
ten more cars will be added, making fifty
car loads into Antoine. AT that place
ten more will be taken on making n
train OF sixty cars into Escanaba. The
cars will average twenty-five tons each.
Two engines will be run out OF this place
making double trips from here TO
Antoine each day. Two engines viii
thus haul 160 cars per day. The heavi-
est grade on the run TO Escanaba Is the
"hog back" between here and Stager.
Heavy grades are met with on both
sides Of Florence also.
The st. Paul road has placed an
order for thirty heavy freight engines
and leu passenger engines. 1t is likely
that the new freight engines will be used
in the ore business and that some OF
them will be placed on the Crystal Falls
run.
