1868, he was assigned to the command
of the district OF Lehigh, and in Febru-
airy, 1864, to the command Of the de-
partment of West Virginia. On May Is
of the same year he fought and lost the
battle of Newmarket. Relieved by Gen.
Hunter, he was assigned to the COM
mand of the reserve division on the Po-
tomac, and during Gen. Early's raid, in
July, 1864, he defended Maryland
heights with 5000 against $4,000 men,
making it possible for Gen. Lew Wallace
to assemble his troops at Monocacy and
for Gen. Grant to send re-enforcements
to the threatened capital.
Gen. Sigel was the hero of a we'll
known war poem written by Grant p.
Robinson, a Union soldier, in 1862, en-
titled II Fights Nit Sigel." In politics
Gen. Sigel was a Democrat, but an anti
Tammany man. A widow, three sons
and a daughter survive. The youngest

Justice Spring of the New York Su-
preme Court, sitting in the appellate d.
vision, has handed down decision IN
which he holds that gross extravaganza
and forgery committed by wife to raise
money do not constitute in that State
cause of action for a limited divorce. He
therefore refuses to reverse the action
of the lower court which dismissed the
complaint in a suit brought on those
grounds. In discussing the case Justice
Spring is quoted as having said: "A hus-
band takes a wife for better or worse,
and because she does not conform her
expenditures to his notions of economy
is not a ground for casting her from
him."

Westbound Northern Pacific Cars Are
Stopped at Sand Point, idaho.
The west-bound Northern Pacific train
was held up at Sand Point, Idaho, sixty
five miles east of Spokane, Wash, at IL
o'clock on a recent night. The robbers,
of whom there were seven, forced the
engineer to stop the train, after which
they uncoupled the baggage car. Then
they compelled the engineer, at the point
of a revolver, to pull up the track about
three miles farther, where they tried to
wreck the baggage car with dynamite.
The explosives failed to work, and after
spending fifteen minutes with the car
the robbers decamped, allowing the en-
gineer to go back to the train with his
engine. Two other thugs had guarded
the train, keeping the passengers inside
by firing revolvers along the sides. No
attempt was made to modest the passen-
gers, and after the engine came back
the other robbers fled and the train went
to Spokane. The train was heavily
loaded

$500, 900 WHEAT FARM STARTED.

American Syndicate Will Farm 49,
600 Acres in Canada.
A syndicate of Americans, led by T. B.
Hoard, of Nebraska, a wealthy cattle
man, will establish the first bonanza
wheat farm in Canada between Craik and
Davidson, on the Prince Albert branch of
the Canadian Pacific. Forty thousand
acres of land have been purchased at
an outlay of 100000, and another $780,
900 has been set aside by the syndicate
for improvements that are to begin at
once. None Of the methods which made
the great wheat farms of North Dakota
famous have yet been applied in Canada,
and wheat raising has been confined en-
tlrely to small areas and to the work of
small farmers
The syndicate includes r. J. Waddell,
or Aurora, Neb., another wealthy cattle
man, and capitalists from Iowa and Illi-
nols. One whole township is to be con-
verified into monster wheat field, and
the greater portion Of township adioin-
ing is also to become a portion Of the syn
dicate's interests.
Mr. Hoard and his associates will intro
duce steam plows and other modern ma
chlnery. The syndicate will own it's own
elevators, two of which are to be built
this fall at Garvin, in the center of the
new farm. 1t will also operate line ele-
Vators at adjacent points,

Latin American Lands.
The insular division of the War De
partment in Washington has published
its last summary of the commerce of the
island of Cuba. The summary shows
that the total value of imports into Cuba
during the military occupation was S225,-
437, 1876 and the exports were $45,O0O,OOO
less than the importations, fact attrib-
uted to the destruction of property and
damage to agriculture caused by the Boer
war. The United States furnished 43
per cent of the imports and took 70 per
cent of the exports. Practically all the
sugar went to the United States. The
balance of trade was decidedly in favor
of Cuba, and it is remarked that the
trade of the United States has not kept
pace in any of the Latin-American coun-
tries with it's wonderful strides in other
parts of the world.
