given. saving themselves almost by a
miracle. They were in the midst of
what is known as the ''hornets'
Nest. - This was forty years ago, and
the fight occurred on Sunday. The
four men remaining are gray with the
frosts of many winters. One of them,
Louis Schilling, goes about only by

nineteen ten are dead, two having
passed away last winter. The four in
this city are Colonel William Pfaender,
Louis Schilling, F. Gervoth and

Mr.. COLLINS HERE.
Has His End of Railway Mat
ter Fixed.
All Now Depends Upon Mankato Full
filling the Terms of His
Contract.

J. 81. Collins arrived in the city this
forenoon from Chicago, over the Mil
waukee road, and will remain until
the citizens fulfill the part assigned
them in his proposition to secure a
street railway and lighting plant.
When seen at the Saulpsugh by a
Free Press reporter, Mr.. Collins said
that he has the capital ready to put
into the enterprise as soon as the
people of this city subscribe for the
necessary stock, and as soon as the local
company secures franchise and takes
over the city and commercial lighting
contracts. AS soon as the city fulflls
it's end of the matter, the necessary
surveys will be made, taking perhaps
ten days, and after route is located
work will begin.
Mr.. Collins states that the people
who offer to furnish the money do not
care to have their names known until
it is definitely decided that the project
is to be go. His present visit, he
said, is largely to arrange for the com
ing of these gentlemen to Mankato,
which he expects will be the latter
part of the present week. He desires
that the council indicate at it's meet
ing Wednesday night what it will do.
The stock subscriptions must all be
in cash, said Mr.. Collins, and the full
$40, 600 must be forthcoming Advances
in the price of material since his pro-
position was submitted will make the
cost of the line twenty per cent greater
than he had then estimated, and the
cost of the entire plant will be nearer
$780, 600 than $500, O0O This amount
will be raised by an issue of bonds,
while the $40, 900 raised in Mankato
J will go into the company's treasury,
E to be used in its business and for its
{; purposes. The local board of directors
= will have charge of all expenditures.
The subscriptions for stock continue
to come in. Carlos Boynton takes
. $500, e. B. Perrin 800, Congressman
McCleary $500 and Gen. J. b. Baker

DIRECTORS MEET TONIGHT.
Mr.. Collins Will Discourse With Them
on Street Railway Matters.


The directors of the Mankato and st.
Peter Railway and Lighting Go will
meet with J. b. Collins tonight, to
talk over the situation. No meeting
was held last night.
There are no new developments. to-
day.
1t is understood that the proposed
franchise is not yet completed.
City Attorney Daley will desire
time to examine the franchise after it
is presented, and is not in favor of the
council acting upon it the same night
that it is presented. Some of tie
aldermen express themselves to The
same effect.
An attorney who is a subscriber fol
stock suggested today that the fran
chise ought to specify what kind OF
cars are to be used, where and how
often they are to run, etc. He said
that it is easier to have these matters
settled now than after the franchise
has been granted.
1t is now looked upon as practical
certainty that Manksto will have an
electric line, as it is believed that
both sides will "come to the scratch. "

the fundamental principles, Mr. Hicks
discussed the history of the two parties
from Jefferson's day to the present time,
devoting much time to contrast between
the administrations of Cleveland and Nc
Kinley.
by being for Cleveland part of the
time and Populistic the other part, the
Democratic party has wagged so nobody
could tell what it stood for, and it was
incapable of telling itself The govern
ment is now in the hands Of the Republi-
cans and times are better, because
everybody believes it is there to stay"
said he amid another round of applause.
Referring to Democratic charges against
the trusts, he said tobacco was selling for
more now than it had for many years,
and everyone admitted that if the trusts
were ever omnipOtent, they were so now,
and in spite of Mr.. Pou's assertion to
the contrary, cotton had been lower
under Cleveland's administration for the
same period than it was under Republi-
can high tariff auspices.
He next entered into a detailed dis
cussion of the protective features of the
tariff, citing the claim Democracy has
been making ever since the days of Henry
Clay, and said he: If we had accepted
the true principle in the days of Henry
Clay and followed it until today, there
would now be a five story factory build
ing at every cross roads in the South,
where only red and unsightly gulles are
seen." (Applause)
He here quoted statistics from New
England factory development and claim
ed that the South could long ago have
duplicated them, had it acted from COM
mon instincts of common sense instead OF
sentimental frothing about fundamental
principles of Southern independence.
Taking up the charge that Senator
Pritchard had voted for increased ma
tional appropriations amounting to $500
per head in North Carolina, while the
State Legislature had increased appro
