A Montevideo special Of April
Both says that the State railroad
commission commenced taking tes-"
timony yesterday afternoon in re-
gard to the proposed s'Y" between.
the Great Northern and the Mil
waukee roads at Granite Falls. The
various stock shippers and fuel men
Of this place were examined as to-
the benefits they would receive
from the proposed connection. After
they had testified the officials OF the
road were called, the principal wit
nesses being Division Superintend-.
ent f. T. Fox and General North
western Agent Hamlin B. Sewell.
a letter from r. E. Kenney con-
tains the information that the cause
of the strike in the Northern Paci-
fc shops at Brainerd was due to.
the employment of "handly-men or
'shelpers in running machines, to,
the exclusion Of machinists or ap-
prentices, and although all machin-
lists we're employed at full pay they
allege that an agreement made be-
tween the union and the company
to the effect that if a helper was en-.
ployed as machinist he should re-
ceive xmachinist pay, and as the
company had a number Of such men
running machines and had become
expert in their use the union asked
that they be removed and their
places given to others belonging to
the union. The company denies.
the right of employees to dictate
their action hence the strike.
A recent issue of Montana pa
per contains the following relating
to a former resident of this city: II.
L. Birum, the popular agent at
Saco, has resigned his position
with the Great Northern and will
move onto his ranch, which he has
located on Milk river, north Of
Saco. He will irrigate a large
piece of bottom land with gasoline
engine and will prepare to get some
cattle next year. Mr.. Birum is an
enterprising young man and we
predict success for him in his new
venture. Mr.. Birum has been with
the Great Northern aboutfour years,
the last three being employed at
Saco, where he has won many
friends who will miss him in the
depot, but will be glad to hear of
his being located near by. He has
been offered several other stations
of more Importance than Saco, but
declined to accept for good reasons.
| We hope Mr.. Birum will be sue
cessful in his new field Of labor.
The climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau for the week
ending April 18th is as follows
The weather most of the week was
too cool for the satisfactory germi-

growth OF the earlier seeded. It
was so cold on the morning of the
23d that the ground in northern
counties was frozen hard, and there
were frosts elsewhere on the 24th.
On the 22d there we're rains and

the south and southwest there were

Too Free With His Pistol.

Earl Morrison, of Charles Town, a
young man about % years old, was
arrested in that place Monday night,
charged with threatening to kill his
wife. The couple were married
short time ago, and Monday night
Mrs. Morrison was staying at the
home of Mrs. Annie Hamilton. Nor
rison went there about 10 o'clock and
induced his wife to let him into the
house by representing that he had a
telegram for her. When she opened
the door he stepped in and pointed a
pistol in her face and told her that
he had come to kill her. She screamed,
and Mrs. Hamilton started to her as
sistance, when Morrison threatened to
shoot her also. There was no man IN
the house and the women were terri
fed. Mrs Hamilton ran for a neigh
Dor, who went after a policeman.
When arrested Morrison was standing
on the front porch with the revolver
in his hand and BIZ. wife was crying
in the doorway. He was lodged in
Jail, and warrant was sworn out be-
fore Justice Gallaher charging him

Dangerous Fire Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon about one
o'clock the fire bell called the people
to dangerous appearing fire. The
small frame building at the oil tanks
of the Standard OIL Company, near
w. N. Lemons warehouse, had caught
fire in come unexplained manner, aud
was blazing away at a merry rate
when David Lemen gave the alarm.
The structure was soon a mass OF
flames, and as it was chuck up against
the two big tanks, which were filled
with oil, there was liability of an ex-
plosion that might cause serious dis
aster to that end Of town. This fact
caused everybody, except, of course,
the irrepressible small boy, to keep at
a safe distance. Fortunately the
tanks kept their contents safely, and
the only explosion was when the oil
wagon in the building went off with a
loud fzz. A stable adjoining the
burning structure caught FIRE, but the
fame was extinguished by throwing
water from buckets upon it. The fire
finally burned itself out, the only loss
being the destruction of the building,
the oil wagon and some other appll-
ances. 1t is thought that the Stand
ard Oil Company will not be seriously
embarrassed by its loss here.

Railroad News.

The corps of surveyors in charge o
Major Goldsborough, who have beer
in Shepherdstown for more than
month surveying the proposed new
route for the Baltimore & Ohio Rail.
road between North Mountain and
Harper's Ferry, will finish up their
work today, it is expected, and will
move from this place to Harper's Fer,
ry. They first surveyed the route
from Tabbs Crossing through Shep-
herdstown to the Engle farm just west
of Rattling Springs, couple of miles
this side of Harpsr's Ferry. Thepast
week OF two has been spent in addi-
tional work west of town, and some
changes in the first line have been
made. The party will now take up
the work at the Engle farm, and con-
tinue the survey until the main line
is connected with near Harper's Fer
ry. This will only take week or
two.
Although no official information is
yet obtainable, the indications that
the line may be built are multiplying.
1t is announced that during the cur
rent year the B. & o. will spend
100000 in improving its lines and
in betterments of various sorts. Pres
ident Loree and his staff have recent.
~ made an inspection of the system,
and he has received estimates from
the engineers as to the probable cost
of putting the B. & O., in perfect con-
dition. Every improvement that will
facilitate the handling of trains will
be adopted. 1t is said that the Off
Gals of the road have been pressing
Major Goldsborough very hard for de-
tails of hi. survey, and it is a fact that
he worked his men on Christmas day
and through all sorts Of weather in
order to hurry his report. A we'll
known official of the B. & o. is said to
have made the assertion that the con-
struction Of the Shepherdstown cutoff
would begin this spring. Another
prominent gentleman recently in Shep-
herdstown said that information he
had obtained from inside sources was
to the effect that the road would GER
tainly be built. Hints here and stray
bits of new. there all point the same
way, and the belief is growing that
the cutoff will be constructed. We
earnestly hope that such will be the
case.
