Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov. 22.-In an interview
here yesterday President Samuel
Spencer, of the Southern railway,
stated that no prediction could be
made as to the probable limit of the
movement toward the consolidation
of the railroads in the United States.
Railroad mergers and consolida-
tions," he said, follow no beaten
paths, and they have no precedents.
They result from the logic of events
and business developments, and the
only factors by which they are gov
erned are the laws of supply and de-
mand, the principles of trade and
traffic, and the least resistance to
commerce. am not prepared to say
where the tendency toward cOnsoli-
dation will cease or how far it will
60 All depends upon developments
in the commercial world. T"

A COMPLETED TRANSFER
FIRST UNDER NEW ToRRENs LAW
Gilbert ChrtstiansOn Conveys
Lot to Charles j.
Kretschmer.

The first transfer Of land under the new
Torrens system was completed this morn
ing when Gilbert Christianson conveyed
lot 6, block AZ, in Bakers fourth addition
to Charles :. Kretschmer. It was q cen
dition of the sale made by the latter that
the title should be registered under The
new system. So Mr.. Christensen, hay
ing secured certificate Of title backed
by the district court of Henpepin county,
and by the state. unhesitatingly gave a
warranty deed to Mr.. Kretschmer, who
took the deed and the duplicate certificate
to Registrar George G. Merrill.
Mr. Merrill will now note on the orig
inal certificate that the same has been
cancelled being replaced by another GER
tificate, No. IL. A similar ertry will be
made on the duplicate certificate and this
with the warranty deed will be filed away.
A warranty decd under the new Torrens
system does not &C rvey title. 1t simply
directs the registrar to register the land
in question in the Eame of the grantee
and to issue to him certificate of the
registration. The chief beauty Of the
new system lies in the fact that the GER
tificate shows on its face the character
and amount of all membranes and liens
and these are not valid until recorded in
that manner.

LITTLE ONE THUS FINDS A HOME

It was strange find that Conductor
George Mead, of the street railway, made
upon returning to his home at 514 Central
avenue late last night. It was quite
dark in the hallway, and he did not see a
bundle on the first step and stumbled over
it. re-.
The pitiful wall Of baby issued from
the depths Of the bundle. Mead picked 1t
up tenderly and carried it upstairs.
What have you got there?' his wife
demanded as the cry broke out afresh.
II don't know" was the reply; 81

Let's see.'' .-....@.'' .i
Then he removed the wrappings and q
tiny baby girl was exposed to view. The
child was apparently little more than q
day old 1t was perfectly formed and
in good health.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mead had little girl OF
their own, but it died when seven months
old, and now they think the little outcast
has come to take it's place.
Going to adopt her, boys" he said tc
his associates at the East Side barns
before going on his run this morning
"She's peach, and my wife's going t.
have her christened next Sunday"

OF hearse and single attendant formed
little party that surrounded the grave
in Layman's GENE terry into which the body
OF the murderer, Andrew Taper, was low
cred at noon yesterday. Although the
dead man had relatives! none was present.
Death Certificate Filed.
This morning Health Commissioner p.
M. Hall received a certificate of the death
OF Taper. Strangely there is nothing
in the affidavit that shows by what man
ner the man came by his death. It gives
the cause Of death as broken neck" and
the Immediate cause as murder" The
natural Inference would probably be that
the man was struck on the neck by some
murderOus person. Manifestly the docu-
ment is defective there being no sugges-
ton of illegal hanging" but inasmuch as
official and probably correct records have
been filed in Carver county, DR.. Hall is
sued the burial permit without question.

ANCIENT PRIVILEGES
LOnlCn Answers,

Any inhabitant Of the island of Guern-
sey has the curious privilege Of exercising
the Glamour de Haro." A person who
considers his land rights to be infringed
has only to swear out an affidavit on the
subject, attested by two witnesses, and
present this to the bailiff Of the island.
Then, sinking on one knee, he cries in
French, 80, Rollo, my prince, succor me!
l am wronged!' By this proceeding the
act Of trespass is stayed until the mat
ter has been judicially settled. This
strange old world privilege was exercised
only last year.
Hurstbourne Woods were in old and
lawless times the favorite resort of the
people Of Andover, who used to kill and
carry Off all the fat bucks they could lay
their hands on. The property belongs to
the Earls Of Portsmouth, and the peer of
the time at last bought the poachers off
by agreeing to give them a buck for each
of their feasts. This privilege is still
exercised. -...
4 The late Colonel Tighe, Master Of Wood
stock, during his lifetime, could always be
seen at his Study window at certain
hour each morning Of the week, except
Sunday. It is al. unwritten law of the
manor that the tenants shall have the
right Of laying their grievances and dis
putes before their master. To do this
they do not enter the house but stand in
the courtyard outside the study window.
After Colonel Tighe's death his wife, Lady
Louisa Tighe, carried on the practice.

GRAIN MEN IN LINE
"Independents" Are Making Their
Organization Permanent
SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE ASSURED
Over Fifty at the Fargo MeetinE-
Board OF Trade Memberships
Sought.

Special to The Journal. 81. 6.
Fargo, N. D., Feb. 21.-The Northwest
ern Independent Grain Buyers met in
Fargo this morning on call Of President
MCPHERSON. Organization was tempo
rarily effected a month ago in st. Paul,
and it was decided to-day to make it
permanent. ...
The discussions this morning were
largely Informal and executive as a con-
J tingent of the buyers fear the est ablished
elevator men will break up the plans. The
question of railroad rates and the atti-
tude of the railways toward independent
and track buyers was earnestly discussed,
and 1t seemed to be the concensus that
the railroads favored the established COM
panies.
There seems no doubt of the success of
the plan to incorporate regular a COM
mission house and secure memberships in
leading boards of trade through which the
entire business Of the independent buyers
of Minnesota. the Dakotas and Iowa will
be handled.
There are over fifty buyers present and
all are enthusiastic. Three other meet
1ngs are already scheduled.

The family of James B. Lee, a teamster

smallpox. This morning Health Com
missioner Hall found four of the five mem
bers sick of the dread disease-the
mother, father and two sons, of IA and 10.
A daughter, aged 16, who was the only
member who had been vaccinat ed, has not
taken the disease, although she has been
at home all of the time No physician
had been called, said Dr. Hall this morn
Ing, and the cases were we'll advanced.
The fact that the girl, who was vaccin-
ated In her school several months ago,
and who was the only member Of the
family that had been, did not take the
smallpox remarked DR.. Hall, rather
ironically, lis merely a coincidence, of
