The successful test of the johnson

the Valley Iron Works, St. Paul, on
Monday afternoon, whereby tita mic
ore, of which there are untold guam
titles in Northern Minnesota, marks
the most important epoch in the
steel making industry for many
years.
The process, by which the ore is
smelted in common cupola- and
turned out into pig-steel which takes
fine polish and which, according
to those interested in the discovery
is better than the finest steel made,
bore out the claims of the inventor
or discoverer of the process, and
proved highly satisfactory to the
large delegation of iron and lnining g
men present. - -:
In speaking of the test to Duluth
Herald reporter n. C. Littleworth,
who was present, states that the
test was made under the most ad-

the steel being: made in plain

being drawn of through the same

A Heavy Shower.

There was rousing hail storm
mere, early Monday afternoon. 1t
cicuded up very rapidly about
O'Clock, and started with a heavy fall
OF rain accompanied by some thunder
and lightning. Then the hail began to
come, and there was enough on the
ground for the boys to have bit of
snow balling before it melted. The
hail stones were just the size of buck
shot, and fell as thickly as snow in a
m!d-winter storm. They were frozen
very solidly and struck with great
force everywhere. For few minutes it
loked really like a blizzard. Then the
hai stopped falling in a few minutes
ana turned to a heavy rain once

The streets were fairly flooded and
the sewers taxed to their full capacity.
Everything was thoroughly drenched,

A case Of larceny was heard by
Judge Larrabee at the police court,
Monday the complainant being E. H
Fitzpatrick and the defendant Chester
Clarke of Shields Mont. 1t seems that
Clarke had been in this city about a
week and had left Mains circus in this
State within short time. He was one
of the boarders at Bubiers boarding
house on Washington street, as was
Mr.. fitzpatrick. Clarke wac arrested on
a warrant sworn out b. Gilpatrick
who alleged that the former took $40
from him, Sunday morning. fitzpatrick
said that Clarke arose first, that morn
ing, and when he (Gilpatrick) arose,
his money was gone. When Clarke
testified, he said they both were drunk
when they came to bed, Saturday night,
and that it was doubtful if Fitzpatrick
had that amount; but that was the tes-
timony of witnesses who said they saw
the money when he came home. Clarke
left the house, Sunday, and could not
be found during the day, but was seen,
in the evening, and arrested. The
judge held the defendant in 5000 bonds
for his appearance at the September
term of the superior court. Clarke was
unable to furnish the bonds and was
committed to the county Jail at Au-
guSta.
