A 1 leered Heirs to Valuable Minne apolis * roperty make a Few Be* war"-*. Special to the Globe. . Lowell, Mass.. Feb. 16.— title to some §3,000.000 worth of property in Min neapolis is soon to be tested in the courts, the alleged owners being several poor fac tory operatives in this city. Between 1840 and 1850 Michael Casserly, otherwise known as Michael Cassidy, came to Lowell from Ireland and was for a time employed as a gardener. Being attracted by the op portunities offered in the Western states to energetic young men, he emigrated early In 1850 and secured a government grant of seventy acres of land near St. Anthony falls in Minnesota. This he cultivated un til his death, in 1885. Being of a rugged nature and knowing no ailment tor many years, he neglected to make a will. When letters of administration were requested on bis estate on the session of the probate caurt in Minneapolis in 18S5, it is re ported that a Miss Margaret Carney ap peared and stated that she was the nearest of kin and the only living relative. It was with reluctance that the judge, who saw the prospective value of the land in the near future, granted her letters of admin istration, and it is now understood that he stipulated that the case would be reopened if other heirs subsequently appeared. Un til recently it is reported that Miss Carney, has enjoyed the benefits accruing from this valuable property. Portions of the land have been sold to railroad men, manufac tories and capitalists and many costly build ings have been erected on the estate. In September last Henry W. Wadsworth, an attorney in Minneapolis, discovered the let ters of probate -ranted Miss Carney inlSSo and the stipulation regarding the future ap pearance of the other heirs. He ascer tained by some means that some of the heirs resided in Lowell and others in Al bany, N. V., and others in Ireland. THE LOWELL "HEIRS are Mrs.BridgetMcNamara, Mrs. Catharine Scully, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Haley, Mi chael Gallagher and Mrs. Margaret Burns, all employed in the cotton and woolen mills of this city. They claim that with tbe heirs in Albany and in Ireland they signed away their rights to Wadsworth for a small amount of money, he asserting that the land was unsettled and it would proba bly take years to settle the matter in the courts. Shortly after the deed was signed the son of Mrs. McNamara remarked to Edward B. Pierce, of Lowell, that his mother had come into some property in Minnesota which she deeded to a Minneap olis lawyer for a small sum. Alter re ceiving a description of the property, Mr. Pierce wrote to Mr. Stevens, cashier ot the Northwest division of the Erie Telephone company in St. Paul, regarding the property, and was informed by him of the immense value of the estate. Mr. Pie informed the heirs and was given power of attorney to act for them in the matter. In their interest he visited Minneapolis last fall and consulted leading attorneys of the state regarding the suit which will be brought before the Minnesota courts in April to set aside the deed given by the heirs to Wadsworth. He also visited Ireland during this winter and obtained the consent of the heirs residing there to the proceedings which have been begun by those residing in America. The Lowell heirs will be represented by Gen. Butler and the Albany heirs will have one of the leading members of the New York bar to represent their interests. TUB IV A 1173 SCHEME Shown Up in Its Barefaced Ineq uality by a Few Figures. The article In yesterday's Globe provoked considerable comment in reference to any plan which might be sprung by the Repub licans to gerrymander the city. The Thirteenth ward plan, as given, was met by general con demnation. As has been said, the plea for a change is that the present war d are dispro portionate, but it is only necessary to figure on the proposed new ones to see how much worse they will be. The population by wards Toy the census of 1885 and their estimated population at present, on a basts of 160,000, are shown as follows: 1885. 1887. First 16,021 20,000 Second , 8,527 11,000 Third 19.222 21.000 Fourth 21,993 26,000 Fifth 20,802 25,000 Sixth.. 30,093 34,000 Seventh 6,971 11,000 Eighth 5,511 12,000 Total 129,200 160.000 If the proposed Comstock plan were to go through the legislature, the population by wards would approximate the following: First • 13,000 Ninth ... 5,000 Second 11,000 Tenth 7,000 Third 1 4.000 Eleventh 7,000 Fourth 26.000 Twelfth 5,000 Fifth 25,090 Thirteenth 16,000 Sixth 18.000 Seventh • 7,000 Total 160,000 Eighth 6,000 In addition to this, there would be some 8,000 to be added from the new territory to le taken in, which would be divided amoug the Third and First, Ninth, Seventh and Twelfth. However, it is only necessary to point at the difference between the Ninth and Fourth wards to show how utterly hollow are Republican pretentions, where they speak of the necessity of this change to equalize the wards. The new territory to be included, is as follows: On the East side, the line is to be run over to meet Ramsey county, making that boundary a straight north and south line. This will take in the PUlsbury elevator property hitherto so carefully ex cluded. On the north, tho West side will take in the work-house territory and the East side will include the brick yards. On the south the line belosv Lake Harriet will be projected due eastwardly until it meets the river. This will make the city limits about a perfect square. It will be noticed the numbering o*" the wards is decidedly erratic, the First and Ninth lying together; the T.lrd and Tenth; Sixth and Thirteenth, iv a style altogether absurd. There is method in this madness, however, as it prevents certain aldermen from being leg islated out of office. For instance, if the new lines threw into a lother ward an alderman elected for the Sixth, he would quietly be legislated out. BAD FOB THE BULLS. Several Minneapolis Operators iv fian.er of Being Squeezed. The Chicago bears seem to have complete control of the wheat market and there is a probability that the Northwestern "longs" will be treated to a squeeze similar to that in ilicted abo ut a jeer ago. when several piom inent Minneapolitaus aud one elevator man from Fargo narrowly escaped dropping their substance. From 87% cents the leading cereal has steadily dropped to 78%, and the wayside is strewn with the remains of un lucky "longs," who were unable to cover in their margins. It was the gossip on 'change yesterday that a prominent miller who suf fered seriously by the drop of last spring, was again in the toils and could only be ex tricated with great difficulty. It is also re ported that the Pillsburys are very long, but they are abundantly able to protect them selves in the future as they have in the past. In the bucket shops, considerable money has changed hands over the break, the many losing to the few. Quite a number of specu lators who sold when wheat marked 87%, held on when it bad reached. 85; but when "a slight upward turn came they lost nerve and closed their deals, only to see reaction and a Btill further depression next day. HOME MISSIONS. Annual Meeting of the Woman's . Baptist Horn** Mission Union. The Baptist Home Mission union, composed of all the Woman's Home ; Mission circles of the city, met at the Olivet church on the East Bide yesterday in annual session. Mesdames underload, and Scott were appointed itcotnmitt eon nominations, and during their absence the union listened to the report 'of the secretary, Mrs. T. K. Gray, which-/was read by Mrs.George Keith, secretary pro tern. The report was an interesting paper, dealing more with the prospective than the accom plished work of the union. During this 'first year the interest of the women of the Baptist churches of the; city has been greatly -In-. creased, but the work will not be. done until the great mass of th c non-church-going-.peo ple have been brought .within religious ■ in fluences. The paper ended with a strong plea to all church members for active work— the honorary list far exceeds in numbers the active list iv churches, and Mrs. Gray earn estly asks all to join in with the workers. Reports from the various branches of work show that the Baptists of the city are sustaining more separate mis sion enterprises than any denomination in the city. A list of the missions controlled and managed by the union includes the mis sion tabernacle and industrial school for girls, Emerson avenue northeast, Scandinavian, Memorial. Plymouth avenue, Chicago avenue. Calvary and German missions. The nominating committee reported and the following officers were elected: Mrs. G. H. Scott, Fourth church, president; Mrs. T. E. Huse, Central church, vice president: Mrs. George Keith, First church, secretary; Mrs. Miner, Calvary church, treasurer. '■•>.*/'.>,*_ FLOUR -tIAKK-'l' DEMORALIZED By the Decline in heat—The Out put Medium ami Exports Heavy. While there is considerable interest In the wheat market, with prices dropping until the prediction is freely made that 70 cents will be reached, the flour market is dull and listless. The Northwestern Miller of to-day will say: "The flour output showed little change last week, exceeding 15.000 bbls daily, with steam power figuring as a leading factor. The pro- | duct for the seven days ending Feb. 12 was i 107,875 averaging 15,410 bbls daily against 110.900 bbls the preceding week, aud 78.000 for the corresponding time iv 1886. The output the present week will doubtless be cut down considerably, present markets limiting the use of steam. Two mills of over. 4,000 bbls capacity, employing steam, were closed down Saturday, and another of 1,500 bbls Is to stop to-morrow. Possibly 800 bbls of this will be made up by the starting of a water mill. There are in operation to-day ten mills, representing a production of about 18,000 bbls daily, and this may be the average the rest of the week. Six thousand barrels of this is being made by steam. Lower wheat has had a demoralizing effect on the flour trade, and though prices have been reduced about 25c per bbls, very little business is be.; ing done. The flour exports last week took a jump, and assumed quite fair proportions." GAVE HIMSELF A WAV. ~ ;* ' ' Forger. Should Not Get Their Pic tures fallen-*-Police Note*. Detectives Harvey and Fairbairn yesterday arrested the fly young man who presented a $10 check on th. First National bank to which the signature of Washburn, Crosby & Co. was forged. Ihe check was cashed by 0. C. Bur dick, photographer, of 301 Washington ave nue south, and by means of the photographs, for which the check was given in payment, the detectives succeeded In arresting the young man. whose name is C. A. Weeks. He had on his person blank checks on the First National bank of Ottawa, Kan., and Lincoln, Neb. H. T. Cogswell and William Blackwell. for stealing chickens, were sent to jail for thirty days. The case of Charles Hartnett, charged with incorrigibility, was continued one week. Nicholas Dunn, charged with being incorrigi ble by his father, William Dunn, was sen tenced to one year in the reform school. St. Patrick's Day. Representatives of the Father Malhew Temperance society, the Crusaders, Sons of Temperance, drum corps, cadets, and the three divisions of the A. O. H., met at Win dom hall last evening to talk over arrange ments for the celebration of St. Patrick's day. J. J. Smith was appointed chief mar shal, and Bernard Mouso, Dennis O'Brien and J. P. Fitzgerald as a committee to decide upon a line of march. The Columbia. The purchasers of this well-known resort ou Third street south have expended over $15,000 in improvements, and tho place has been entirely remodeled and refitted upon a magnificent scale. Saturday is named for the opening, and the Vienna lady orchestra, brought especially from New York, will be in attendance. CCURENT NOTES. The wheat receipts at Minneapolis thus far in the crop year, aggregate 20,335,120 bushels. At that rate the wonderful total of last year will be eclipsed. ■'_>'■ .%;<> C Work on the government building has been resumed and a force of men aro now engaged on putting in the columns and girders ol' the first floor. If the appropriations are promptly forthcoming, the building will be completed by Jan. 1890. : If an early spring should set in and the ice in the river go out on a freshet, it niig'jt be an interesting question to ask what would become of tho caisson for tho steel arch bridge. The ten-minute trains between 5 and 6 o'clock on the motor lino have greatly re lieved the tea-time rush of travel, aud pa trons are duly appreciative. Male passen gers are not now so frequently made ashamed of themselves by sticking to their seats while ladies stand. Patti will sing from the same stage at the Washington rink upon which J;>hn L. Sulli van broke his arm, uud it is predicted that she will do something extraordinary upon the occasion. One might well suppose, from their desper ate efforts to secure obstructive legislation, that the Republicans of Minneapolis had given up all idea of ever regaining control of this city and were now simply endeavoring to do all in their power to harrass the Demo crats. Already this year Minneapolis mills have exported 261,550 bar-els of flour. This is the very lightest season for exportation, and if the remainder of the year holds out propor tionately well, tho exports of 1887 will run very close to 3,000,000 barrels. An unusually large amount of money has been lost in the past ten days gambling in wheat. As yet, however, the grand jury has found no indictments and the radical press has failed to roast the administration. Certain members from Hennepin county volubly tell the legislature their schemes are sanctioned by three-fourths of the people of Minneapolis, but these same members shrink back when it is proposed to have their bills take effect ouly when ratified by a vote of the people. Aid. Johnson is scarcely frank when he says he is surprised to hear that the Demo crats see politics in the propositions to re district the city and change the time of hold ing municipal elections. He knows as well as anybody that both propositions are partisan schemes of the .rankest character, . aud \it shames his usual frankness to say otherwise. If Ald.**Johnson would go into his own .ward, and make a canvass for council on the strength of any of his schemes, he would* be buried by a majority that would make his ' famous 110 of last spring shrink into insig nificance. And he knows it, too. ...... Attorney C. T. Baxter takes very goodna uredly the badinage inflicted upon him rela tive to being a candidate for alderman from the "new workhouse ward." The new legislative manual is a very unsat : isfactory work. It entirely omits a summary of the gubernatorial vote last fall and gives tbe term of Gov. McGill as "Jim. 5, 1887 to —," as though uncertain how long he will hold the office. .Very, many of the appointive offices have the old names, and the same is true of many of the government offices.

It has been played to crowded houses thus far, each night being larger than the previous one. The Pence is doing a business second to none in the city. This evening the Grand will resound with the music and funot Haverly's minstrels. It is unnecessary to say they will be greeted by an audience limited in size only by.the capac ity of the house.

Miss Ward is a thoroughly good actress, and appeared to advantage in both plays. As the Duchess of Marlborough she is the imperson ation of the imperious, intriguing and am bitious Churchill of history, and as Stephanie Mahripart she is the perfect abandoned and reckless circa of Paris. Of the two, the former character better suits her, as her beauty is scarcely up to.the standard of the bewitching, fascinating and destructive Forget-Me-Not.

One of the pleasantest dancing parties of the season was that of the Young People's circle at Curtiss' hall last; night. Fully seventy-five couples participated in the dance, among them being a number of young ladies and gentlemen from St. Paul. The programme contained eleven numbers, and Danz furnished the music. The only possi ble criticism was tbe shortness of tho:- programme, and that is certainly a good fashion, as it means earlier hours. The young ladies displayed many beautiful costumes, and not a few of the men were in: full dress. The master, of ceremonies. A. H. Nunu, and the floor mauagers, E. P.

Mr. Ringwall gave a clarionet solo in his usual: .faultless manner and for an encore played a : very beautiful air. The music, particularly the singing, was especially pleasing to the audience be cause of its national character. - Last night the Norden sooiety attended - the fair In full force, and after the concert a great many chances on the. numerous articles displayed were sold and the refreshment counter was liberally patronized. Following this the floor was cleared and an hour was devoted to dancing, in which all joined with hearty zest, the Svea band furnishing the music.

Siy&hy'y. Pittsburg, Feb. 16.— Incident occurred " early this morning on the limited express on the Pan Handle road, due in this, city at 6 o'clock, which caused intense excitement among the passengers, and in which one of them narrowly escaped with his life. The train was speeding along at a very high rate.of speed at 2 o'clock this morning when the porter on the St. Louis sleeper was sud denly startled by a crash of glass. He hurried forward to the first section whence the noise seomed to have come, and which was oc cupied by a young man en route to Washing ton. The porter hastly pulled aside the cur tains, when he was horrified by the sight that met bis gaze. The glass of a large double window had been broken, and the glass was scattered around the section. A man's head, arms and shoulders bad disappeared through the broken window, while his legs and feet still remained within the car.'--; The speed of the train was so great that the cars swayed from side to side, and each moment there was dangor of the man slip ping through the window and being hurled to the ground. Instantly the porter realized the danger of tbe young man, and grabbing blm by the feet finally succeeded in getting him back. By this time the conductor, who had been called by the porter, and several of the passengers, hurried to the berth to learn what had caused the excitement... The young man seemed dazed at first as though he were but partially awake, but gradually ho re alized his situation and shuddered as he learned what a narrow .scape from death he bad. He arose and dressed himself. He then walked baok to the rear of the car and told the porter that he would never forget what bad been done for himi as his life had been saved by . his timely arrival. He said bis name was C. F. King, and that ha was en route to Washing ton. He was returning from an extended trip In th. West where be had gone for bis health. Yesterday afternoon be bad eaten uuusually hearty while traveling in the buffet oar. After be had retired to his berth for the night he fell into a restless sleep and finally bad an attack of nightmare. He dreamed that the sleeping car was on fire. Tbe rum* bling noise of tbe moviug train gave him the impression that the passengers were hurrying to and fro trying to escape from the cars. While still asleep, it is supposed, tbat he made a dash toward the window and tried to plunge through head first. i The North Star Coal Company Is prepared to furnish promptly crushed gas house coke of a superior quality. ■ ————— WHY IS IT That rheumatism and neuralgia are so prev alent? This question has not been satis factorily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the, . land is the victim of one of these dread torment ors. Ladles seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, in the form of neuralgic headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant occurrence.; Not until the discover}- of Athlophoros had any remedy been found for either rheuma tism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they ■ were generally conceded to be incurable:; but Athlophoros ha**- been proved to lie not' only a certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but a safe remedy. If in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros pills are recom mended, which, while providing the neces sary cathartic, will be found to be a valu able aid to the action of the medicine. Ath lophoros is no experiment, it has been tested and has proved its wonderful efficacy. The Athlophoros pills were originally prepared as a remedy lor use in connection with Athlophoros, for rheumatism anil neu ralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of these very com mon and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility.
