THE SUNDAY GLOBE (TOOIOKKOn) Will be the Best Paper Ever Issued in the Northwest. It Will Be BRIGHT, ENTERTAINING, SPICY, AND AT THE SAME TIME CLEAN AND WHOLESOME. VOL. IX. HORIZONTAL REDUCTION To be Made by the Minnesota & North western Railroad in Freight Rates to Chicago. The Cut Amounts to About 33 Per Cent. From the Present Rate Schedule. It Was Decided on After Conferences With Twin City Jobbers and Takes Effect Monday. Official Letters Explaining the Road's Position—The Talk on the Streets of the Reduction. A move of President Stiekney, of the Manitoba A: Northwestern road, which ' was made public yesterday, has set tilings humming in the railroad world of the Twin Cities more than anything that has come to light since the interstate commerce law went into effect- It was the announcement that on the comple tion of the Minnesota and Northwestern road through line a schedule of freight rates would be put into effect, so low that predictions were freely made that it would cause a general and immediate shaking up of all freight business. Some said that not only would business between Chicago and the Twin Cities he \ affected, but that business to Omaha, and Kansas City would get a taste of the results by the move of the Minnesota & North, western. company announced that on Monday, Aug. 1, it would reduce i freight rates from the present tariff be- | tween Minneapolis ami St. Paul and Chicago to the following figures: Class 1, 50c: 2, 40c: 3. 30: 4, 20? 5, 12 l-2c; A, 17 l-2c; B, 15c; C. 13c; I). 10c; K. 8; salt, cement, lime and stucco, 10c; lumber, lath, sash and doors, 12 l-*2c; horses and mules, $(X); cattle, hogs, sheep, 27 l-2e. These rates are FROM :*'."'.. TO 45 PER CEXT. LOWER than the present rates. This announce ment is not unexpected to the jobbers of Minneapolis and St. Paul. For several months the matter of reducing rates be tween here and Chicago has been under serious consideration between the busi ness men of the Twin Cities, and at last a conclusion has been reached as an nounced above. .When the interstate commerce law went into effect no one knew, or could foretell its probable effect, and to.be on the safe side the companies selected the average highest local rate and adjusted the through rate on that. This arrange ment about doubled the through rate. The idea of Mr. Stiekney, of the Min nesota A Northwestern, was to adjust the through rate so as to produce about the same net revenue as was received | by the roads heroic the interstate com merce law went into effact. He thought that by increasing the through rate slightly and decreasing the local rate largely, the through tonnage being so much . larger than the local ton nage, a slight increase on it would be equivalent to a large j decrease on the local tannage. This is the principle the Minnesota A North western lias adopted in making the pres ent rate. These rates are 25 per cent. higher than those in force for ten years ji before the interstate commerce law went into effect. Some one telegraphed to . New York that * the Minnesota A: . Northwestern would make a cut rate, and a decline of four or live points in the : granger roads followed. WHAT MR. STICKXEY SATS. Mr. Stiekney was seen yesterday aft- j ernoon and questioned in regard to the , matter. He denied that his road had made any cut and said that it did not intend to make one, but that he had ! simply established a rate that, after long consultations with the business men of Minneapolis and St. Paul, was j regarded as reasonable. He further • stated that it any rate war was inaugu- ' rated it would be by the asso- j ciated companies and not by ■ the Minnesota & Northwestern, but that should tin' other roads make new rates be would meet them, and whatever might be the rate he proposed to stand by the business community of the j Northwest and to see that it had a fair rate winter and summer. At the present time most of the rail road officials connected with the freight ■ departments of the Chicago roads are out of town and could not be seen yes- \ terday. Those that were hen- could j give no information as to whether the roads they represented would meet the , new rates or not, or whether they would CUt deeper. Lee Can man, the well- i known "Bismarck*" of the Chicago j Tribune, one of the best-informed rail- j road editors in the United States, ar- i rived in st. Paul lastevening. He stated : that he had understood that the Mil- ', waukee A* St. Paul and the Burlington j & Northern had adopted the rates. He i hail also heard that the latter road had j threatened to make a lower rate still, but that it was not likely that it would. I as the one made by the. Minnesota & i Northwestern was higher than the one i in force before the passage of the inter- j state commerce law, and satisfactory to the business men of the Northwest. THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. General Manager Raymond l)u l'uy i has riven to the C1.015E two communi cations to Commissioner Faithorn. one from Tariff Manager Hanley to Com missioner Faithorn and the other from President Stiekney to general managers and presidents of roads interested in the traffic, which explains the position of the company. These letters, which will be read with interest, are given below: St. I'Ati, Minn.. July 20. .1. H. Faithorn, Commissioner, Chicago, 111.: Hear sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor at the 14th ins:., asking me If this company would become ■ party to the contract agreed to by the managers of a large number of roads, forming an association to be known ns j the "Western and North western Freight i Bureau.'" 1 desire to reply that this company ! fully approves of the ostensible object of the •' association, viz.: To maintain uniform and reasonable rates nt conipetetivc points by a]] companies. Judging, however, front the ac tion of the old Northwestern Traffic associa tion, to which this bureau seems to Ik* the successor, at the lime the interstate law be came operative, and since, it seems tome that the bureau is not likely to be controlled j in a manner that will carry i tile effect its os tensible object; but will on the contrary, • establish and attempt to maintain un reasonable rates nt all competitive points. You will recollect thai for many years prior lo the enactment of the Interstate 'commerce l.iw. the prevailing rates between Chicago md St Paul and .Minneapolis were: First diss, 40 cents: second class. 30 cents; third class, SO cents; fourth class. 15 cents: fifth class, 10 cents, with occasional cuts, rebates and various other inventions necessary to epe-'ifv. That immediately upon the law tnki'ig* effect, these rates were raised (against our protest) to first class. 75 cents; second class, CO cents: third class, 45 cents: fourth class. 30 cents; fifth class. 20 cents, or about 100 per cent, increase. The effect of this policy, if continued, would have ii tendency to tear down the splendid jobbing and manufacturing busi ness which has been built up at such centers as Minneapolis, St. Paul. Dubuque, and Dcs J Moines, without -benefiting any c other com j ■mnnitlea, or the companies. ...... ■ I as I have slated, and to which you will | i j, *. ,;;xV / :\ . wi*-s< <* bear witness, tins company at the time the present rates we're adopted, protested against the adoption of this policy, but our line being uncompleted, we were powerless to prevent it. and were for the time compelled to submit. On the Ist of August next we shall open a line under our own control from Minneapolis and St. Paul, end from Dcs Moines, 10.. to Chicago, and we feel constrained in our own interest, as well as In the interests of the communities which our road was built to serve, to again protest against this policy then adopted, and which your bureau is in tended to perpetuate. The question is frequently asked by those opposed to the principal "of the interstate commerce law. 'Who has been benefited by its enactisentf' The rules to non-competi tive points remaining the same as before, while to competitive points they have been doubled. if the purpose is to make the law odious, the policy adopted would seem to be well calculated to produce the result .- .-.:. The rates as they existed prior to the inter state commerce law seem to have produced net results satisfactory* in the aggregate to the owners of railway properties, and the chief complaint from the public was that too much was collected on non-competitive busi ness, and too little on competitive business. It seems to us that an adjustment of non competitive and competitive rates could lee made, by lowering the former and increasing the latter, so as not to effect the gross reve nue of the companies, owing to the large tonnage at competitive points. A slight in crease on the old competitive rate would equal a large decrease on the non-competi tive rate, thus the spirit sis well as the letter | of the law would be complied' with and the . public satisfied. For the reasons stated we are compelled to I decline, for the present, joining the contract. Yours truly, " .1. A. Hani.kv. Trade Manager. FROM PRESIDENT STICK3JEV. This, from President Stiekney, is ad- j dressed to the presidents and general ' managers of all companies interested in ! the traffic: Dear Sir: At the time the interstate com- : merce law went into effect the different roads interested in the traffic between Chicago, Minneapolis. St. Paul and Minnesota Trans fer adjusted the rates to comply with that law by almost doubling the former rate be tween these points, Our road at that time constituted only a part of a through line, and had for that reason very little influence or voice in the matter. lam informed that a a respectable minority of the companies at ; that time and since have protested against j this policy as unwise. It has been the source of a great deal of dissatisfaction with ship- ! pers, and has resulted in sending the hulk of the tonnage over the lake routes. As we shall open our own line for through business c.:, the Ist of August it has been my duty to con sider and determine its future policy. , In this consideration I have consulted with ; the transportation committees of the busi- : ness organizations of Minneapolis and St. ; Paul and have had a full expression of their j views. I understand them to desire the es tablishment and maintenance of reasonable : and uniform rates, such rates as shall be fairly remunerative to the companies and as ] can be continuously maintained without the j usual fluctuations, and thai they do not de- | sire Tate wars'" making unreasonably low j rates for a few weeks or possibly months, to lee followed by excessively high rates, the result of the usual combination— sometimes called ii * pool' and sometimes an agreement ; to maintain rales." This position seemed to me just mid their arguments conclusive. i The question ••what is a reasonable : rate?"' is always difficult to determine. The prevailing tariff rates prior to the taking effect of the law seems to have been, (say) ; 40 cents first class down to 10 cents fifth j class, and the merchants claim, and I have : every reason to believe, that in many in- j stances large rebates were given even those ; low rates. To jump the rates at once to 73 tents first class and 20 cents fifth class, with out rebate or other deduction, seems to them unreasonable. After several days, consultation these shippers, through their committee. have agreed that their former rate was prob- > al.lv too low and thai they would be satisfied with a regular and continuous rate of 50 : cents first class down tee l'JVa cents fifth I class, which, as you will see. is an advance of about -."> percent, above the former tariff j rate, and I deem it but just to take this curli- j est opportunity (the agreement having been j been reached last night) to notify you that 1 this company has agreed to accept this rale j from ana after August 1, the time when we begin to operate our own through line. I desire further to statu that this company j has made no contracts with individuals or j associations by which they have agreed to give it the whole or any portion of their busi- j ness. At all of the conferences I have been {■articular to disclaim any desire to make such an arrangement, and have been particu lar to point out that all companies were en titled to a fair share, and a fair share was ail this company would ask or expect. I will say further that this company will put the tariff enclosed into effect; not in the spirit of a cut rate, but as a fair and reasona ble compromise satisfactory both tee this com pany and its ] eat tons -the "business* men of •St. Paul and Minneapolis. If a lower rate should be made by other companies we should probably be con- i strained to meet, but we are convinced that the public does not demand it. Very truly yours, A. B. STiiKSKY, President. WHAT IS SAID OF IT. Two Opinions OB the Effects of the Reduction. A prominent freight official last night expressed himself as follows: The inauguration of President Stiekney's road by this reduction on a basis of fifty cents for first class freight and twelve and one half cents for fifth class freight between here ! and Chicago, will create some dissatisfac- i tion among St. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers if the other Chicago roads are com pelled to lower their rates accordingly, to compete with the Minnesota A Northwestern. Heretofore, the best policy, which it has been deemed to pursue for the benefit of the st. Paul and Minneapolis jobbing trade, has been to keep the rates from Chicago to st. 1 Paul as high as possible. It is easy to under- j stand this. If the jobbers of Chicago can I get such low rates to points in Minne sota and Dakota, as they certainly . will if such a general reduction goes into effect, for under interstate restrictions ' till rates to local points in Minnesota and Da kota will be reduced to correspond, 'hey will 1 come Into very undesirable competition with j St. Paul and Minneapolis, and will ultimately i throw the Twin Cities out of the jobbing j trade. Consider now that by the lake transit and connections over the Omaha and Ilnluth ' roads, via the ports of Washburn j and Duluth respectively. the rales have always been low enough to bring | freight through from Eastern manufacturing | centers to Minnesota and the Northwest, and j threw Chicago out of the Jobbing market, j Cant you see that by such a reduction as Mr. ! Stiekney has made you kill the benefits of I lake transportation, " and brine Chicago so | near that the jobbers of St. Paul and Mimic- ; ai>olis discover that the Chicago shipper Can j shite his freight through to points in Minne sota and the Northwest at almost as low j rates as you can ship freight to the same j points from St. Paul and Minneapolis. ANOTItI.It OPINION*. Another railroad official said: Such a reduction will tend to force the lake lines to make such low navigation rates that they wont be able to do any business at any profit,' and to deprive the lake lines of their business will operate to the benefit of Chi cago by knocking out one of the best safe guards the jobbing trade of tlie Twin Cities lias had against Chicago eompetiou and ex orbitant rates. n Chicago, July 29.— At a meeting of tin- Northwestern Freight Bureau this afternoon it was decided to meet all the rales made by the Minnesota & North western railroad from August 1. A Clever Device for Cutting Rail way Fares. Since the advent of the interstate com merce law. which imposes heavy penal ties for all kinds of discrimination, rail- ; ways have been pat to their trumps to j discover ways to afford special advant- j ages. The Minnesota & Northwestern I railroad lias just invented a I new method. It -changes the ■ running time of its pmsKeiiger j trains in such a way that one can go ! from Minneapolis or St. Paul to Chicago j and be only one business day away from home, while by all other routes it , consumes three days', time— making a saving in time by taking the Minnesota & Northwestern night limited of two full business days, equal, if one's time is worth flO per day, to a saving of *?2S in time and hotel bills. - What the old roads will do about it remains to be seen. It is evident that they cannot meet it by reducing their fares, as the saving is $5 more than the whole railroad faro lor the round trip. I SAINT PAUL, MINN., SATURDAY ; ;■ MORNING, JULY 30, 1887. THE TWINS NOT SLIGHTED. President Cleveland Has Made Arrange ments to Visit St. Paul and Minneapolis, And There Will Be 'No Need for an Invitation Committee to Go to Washington. Chattanooga and Raleigh Also Very Anxious to Be Honored by the Chief Executive. A Peculiar Pension Case--The Rev enue Surplus-National Capital Notes. Washixotox. July 29.— For the first time during the present week there was no business at the White house, which j made it necessary for the president to ! come into the city. Therefore he spent the entire day at his country home. Oak View, where the temperature is said to j be at least ten degrees lower than at the j White house, and where he is able to j endure the present hot spell with de- | cidedly more comfort than is possible at j his official residence. The president : will remain at Oak View pretty much all the time until be leaves the capital for his Southern and Western trip in Oc tober. lie may come into the city once or twice a week to attend cabinet meetings, but it is not believed that these meetings will be continued I with regularity during the summer, j Telegrams were received at the White house to-day saying that committees of j citizens of St.* Paul and Minneapolis j had been appointed to preceed to Wash ington to invite the president to visit these cities on his Western trip. They will be submitted to the president this I evening and it is more than probable that he will request that the committees abandon their proposed trip to Wash- \ ington and that instead the invitations be mailed to him. It is. however, re- : garded as settled that the cities named will be included in his Western trip. Chattanooga's hid. Chattanooga, Term., July 2°.— As it is probable that the president, while either going to or returning from At lanta, will pass through Chattanooga, the mayor of Chattanooga, at the re quest of a large number of leading citi zens, has sent the following telegram: To Grover Cleveland, President of the | United States,' Wellington : The people of ffliattanooga. Irrespective of political faith, wish to extend to you and Mrs. Cleveland an invitation to stop ii day nt Chattanooga while en route to Atlanta, that you may visit Look out mountain and its beautiful aud historic environs and witness the prosperity of the most progressive commercial and manufacturing city in the smith. Chattanooga being the center of an extensive system of railroads, your visit lure will best enable the people of* East and Middle Ten nessee, North Georgia and North Alabama to pay their respects to their chief magistrate. Chattanooga extends you a hearty and cor dial welcome, and its 40.000 citizens, repre senting by the place of their nativity every state i:i the Union, will feel honored by your presence among them. A. G. Tharp, Mayor. If he accepts his encertainment will include a visit to Lookout mountain, a barbecue dinner upon the historic Mis sionary Ridge, ami a review of the citi zen soldiery of East and Middle Tennes see, North Georgia and North Alabama. Mayor Tharp is a Republican. UAI.F.IGH WANTS HIM. Raleigh, Mo.. July 29.— very large meeting of citizens was held here to-night, at which reso lutions were passed, cordially and earnestly inviting President Cleve land to visit this city during the state fair in October. Arrangements have been perfected by which the president can leave Atlanta on Wednesday even ing. Oct. 19, on a special train and ar rive at Raleigh early Thursday morn ing, Oct. 20, if it will suit his con venience. HE GETS NO PENSION Because He Served Briefly in the Hebe I Army. Washington, July 29.— The secre tary of the interior to-day denied the claim of William Hedgapeth, ex-private in the Forty-second Indiana volunteers. The case is an uncommon one. and has been the subject of much discussion by pension officials. Hedgapeth was cap tured in ISO 3. and confined as a prisoner at Andersonville. After remaining in captivity five months lie enlisted in the Confederate army, he says, to escape starvation, and so informed his fellow prisoners, and that at the first oppor tunity lie would desert, and. if possible, make his way back to his old command: Alter a short service in the Confederate army lie carried out his intention, and finally reached his old regiment in which he served until discharged. Some years ago Hedgapeth applied for a pension on the ground of disability con tracted while in the Federal service. This fact was fully sustained. The law provides thaMio one who aided directly or indirectly the enemies of the govern ment in the* late war shall be permitted to draw a pension. Iledgapeth's brief connection with the Confederacy made him amenable to the law. His motive, it is said, cannot be taken into consider ation. Opinions by the dozen, some fav orable, and some unfavorable, have been written upon the ease by the dif ferent officials of the interior depart ment. At last, after the lapse of years, it reached the secretary of the interior for final action. The papers in this case, which are very voluminous, in clude a strong protest against payment of the pension by Commissioner Black. THE ATLANTA. A Report Received From the Cap tain of the Vessel. Washington. July 2(l.— The follow in.'- letter from tiie commanding officer of the. Atlanta was received at the navy department this morning: L'nited States Steamer Atlanta, Second Rate, Newport, IS. 1., July 27.— Sir: in obedience to paragraph 99, page 45, Navy ltegi.lations, 1 have to report that in returning to this anchorage with the board ordered to test the batteries, etc., this vessel touched ground " yesterday during a fog. sea smooth, light airs iron: the southeast. The bottom was sand. ' The slip going slowly under one bell, was slopped " and the engines backed, when she " at once returned to deep water and. was; authored. The fog lifting, she was got under way again, and brought to this anchorage. A careful examination has been made, and she is not believed to have suffered any injury what ever with the possible exception of having broken a piece oil' the end of her propeller blade, the temporary cast iron propellor. No pipe, weir, nx connection of the machinery, etc., was found to be injured, nor has she leaked ill all. This morning the was got under way and with the board on board * proceeded to sea, and the battery was tested to the satisfaction of the board. ■ All parts of the machinery, rudder, etc.. wosked ns usual and the- chip's speed ! per revolution was the same as before she j touched the bottom. Very respectfully, F. M. RcxcK, Captain Commanding. The authorities of the navy- depart- ■ ment say nothing has been received from the board itself and they are una ble to Myfrhctber the lest of the bat- j tery to the satisfaction of the board proved it to be serviceable or otherwise, though the impression drawn from pre vious reports is that it must have been otherwise. ' His Accounts AH Right- Washington, July 29.— The commit tee from the office of the first comptrol ler of the treasury appointed to exam ine the books anil accounts of George. W. Evans, financial and disbursing officer of the department of the interior, lias completed its work and made its re port to the secretary. The examination covers the period between May 1. 1888, the date of Mr. Evans' appointment, and July 18,1887. lhe report shows that the disbursements of the office fox that period aggregates 82,754,303.13,' every cent of which is fully and satis factorily accounted for. The accounts of all the other disbursing agents of the interior department, aggregating about 8100,000,000 yearly, are also kept by Mr. Evans and were shown to be absolutely correct. The Revenue Surplus. Washington. .July 29.— revenues so far this month amount to over 832, -000,000, an average of more than 8100, -000 a day. The expenditures during the same time, including 811.500,000 paid for pensions, amount to about 825,500,000. The expenses so far this month have been less than was anticipated, by the reason of the failure of the navy depart ment to make certain expected requisi tions. At the same time the receipts were greater than was estimated July 1. Treasurer Hyatt reports the surplus to day as 845,100,000, an increase of nearly .*6,000,000 since the same date of last mouth. Treasury officials, however, believe that heavy payments to be made next month will again reduce the sur plus to about 837,000,000 by the Ist of September. Crawford's Case. Special to the Globe. Washington, July 29,— The case of Past Assistant Surgeon Crawford, of. the navy, who was arrested yesterday charged with the betrayal of the four teen year old girl, Eva White, was a live topic of conversation in the naval circles here to-day. .Surgeon General Grinnell, of the navy, in an interview with a reporter, said Dr. Crawford stood well in the service, and he was in clined to believe the story told by Craw ford to an intimate friend, that he was entirely innocent of the charges, and they were brought against him for blackmialing purposes. ■■» THE STATE OF TRADE. "Weekly Review of the Commer cial Situation. New York, July 29.— 1t. G. Dun & C 0. ,. in their weekly review of trade, say: Foreign commerce is still unsat isfactory, while in domestic trade the usual summer dullness is increased by a variety of causes. Large bank clear ings and railroad earnings fail to reflect the present state of business, which is in many branches characterized by un certainty and hesitation. Clearings represent (1) speculative dealings; (2) settlements on business done from one to four months ago: (3) current cash transactions; so that activity in specu lation or large payments on - past busi ness often swell clearings, when new legitimate business is decreasing in vol- j ume. Railroad earnings, since the inter state law affected rates, afford no relia ble indication of the. volume of traffic, and the publication of tonnage statistics has been to a large degree suspended, which has significance. Low prices de lay the movement of wheat, and the injury to corn, hay and some minor crops produces uncer tainty. Meanwhile foreign imports at New York continue larger than hist year, while the exports for the fou weeks past have been 8 per cent, smaller, and official repeats show an in crease of 171,000,000 in June for all im ports against a decrease of nearly 88,000,000 in all exports. For the three months ending with June, the excess of merchandise imports was 844,892. Wheat, corn, oats, oil. beef and hogs. are lower than a week ago. Red winter wheat at T.i' 4 c at New York, the lowest July price on record, compares with 76 to7Bl-2clu November and December, 1884, but with that exception no lower juice has been recorded in any month for sixty-two years. Corn at 45c at New York, and oats at 32c, and beef at an average of 84.35 do not encourage form ers buy largely of the products of the industries. Speculation in cotton halts, since the syndicate failures, but prices weakened again to-day, and coffee yields a shade, dealers meeting a light and uncertain distribution demand. Sugar rises a little, with the publication of bullish statistics. Spice dealers com plain that consumers do not come to time, and the handlers of rice are not overworked. Oil fell to 54, 1 -t cents, but has recovered a little. Coal agents an nounce an advance of 10 cents for Au gust, and that trade is supported by an increasing demand. Cotton goods met an unusually good demand, and prices are stiff. In woolens the orders scarcely suffice to open the market, except in cheviots, which move at prices onot higher than last year. In dress goods a fair trade is noted. Interior reports nearly all note dullness, with hopes of large trade hereafter. Money is in only fair demand, with no noteworthy change in rates, and collections fair, with im provement at one or two points. The speculation in tobacco begins to ad vance prices, ami the rubber combina tion slowly progresses toward complete ness. The termination of the coke strike set most of the iron furnaces at work, and yet it is observed that the actual consumption of pig iron was smaller for the first half of 1887 than for the last half of 1888. Stocks have been depressed; with ' signs of weariness on the part of holders The treasury took in " 81.200,000 more than it paid out during the past week, but money is easy at 4 per cent., and foreign exchange unal tered. The recent decisions of the interstate commission have not cleared . up the more embarrassing questions re-' garding rates on competitive freight, • and charges of rate-cutting in trunk; lines indicate want of agreement in con struction of the law, with some disap pointment as to the volume of traffic. The outlook is affected in some districts by injury to crops from drouth vor < Storms, but all Southern reports con tinue especially favorable as to cotton.. Less is heard of real estate speculation . at the West and South, but at several points, as at Omaha, it is noticed that heavy building operations are in pro gress. The transfer of floating into fixed capital has not yet ceased. The business failures during the last seven; days number for the United. States lt>*j; for Canada 22; total. Ist. compared with 172 last week, and 192 for the corre sponding week of last year. *• * — ■■■•■ ■ — Sold His Wife. .

A Great Turf Event Harked tte " Closing Day of the Grand Circuit Races, And Sent the Ten Thousand People at the Cleveland Track Wild With Enthusiasm. Emery's Gallant Young Stallion De feats Harry Wilkes in Three Very Fast Heats. The Record of Events on the Turf at Other Points— Sport ing Intelligence. Cleveland, 0., July 29.— This was closing day of the grand .^circuit races. The weather was line, the track fast and the attendance 10,000. The event was the special race for $5,000, arranged between C. F. Emery's young stallion, Patron, who won a race at Detroit in 2:10, and the well-known trotter, Harry Wilkes. It was well known that the stallion was a good one, but some of his best friends were of the opinion that he could not defeat the level headed campaigner. Others said that Wilkes would have to turn the track in less than 2:15 if he would win the race. Wilkes was the favorite in the pools and sold at $50, while Patron was eagerly bought for $25. Later on the prices dropped, but the proportion was about the same. Wilkes drew the pole for position, and many thought that this was in his favor. Both horses were in prime condition, the track was good, and better weather could not have been secured if it had been especially ordered for the occasion. In the FIRST HEAT. The horses got away at the fifth at tempt. They reached the quarter in 33% seconds without a skip and Patron was an open length ahead, going to the half which was made in 1:07. He gained a trifle, but neither horse was urged. The three-fourths was reached in 1:41 and the race home was very pretty. Wilkes kept up his gait as did Patron, who came. under the wire without an effort by a good long length in front of Harry Wilkes in 2:10. SECOND HEAT. A prettier start could not have been asked for, and Patron im mediately got down to his work. He had a nice lead at the turn, and although Harry Wilkes was trotting fast when the quarter was reached in seconds, Patron was a good head in advance. It was a great-race to the half mile and when the poet was reached Patron had a lead of two lengths, making the distance in l:o<'3-t .

New Yokk, July 29.— A1l arrange ments have been made for the present tion of the championship belt to John L. Sullivan and the prospects are that the "champion of all champions" will have a rousing reception on the night of Aug. 8. All the prominent pugilists In the country will take part in the proceedings, and Sullivan will spar four rounds with Joe Lanuoti. Yester day prominent sporting men in the city received engrossed cards of invitation, as follows: The honor of your presence is respectfully asked for the ceremony of presenting the gold and diamond belt to the world's cham pion, John L. Sullivan, at the Boston theater, Monday evening, Aug. 8, 1887. P. F. Sheedt. The belt is all finished and is the most beautiful emblem of pugilistic su premacy ever made. It is of solid gold, inlaid with diamonds ranging in size from three karats to half a karat, and the front plate contains an enameled portrait of Sullivan, sur rounded by diamonds. The belt is the gift of friends of the champion who contributed various sums to a pool of $1,000, which is the value of the belt. Nat Goodwin and Harry G. Dixey. tlie comedians, gave $250 each, and other well known sporting and theatrical friends of the ''strong boy" gave large sums. Wants to Make a Big Jump. C Chicago, July 29.— A man named Ed mundson called on Chief Ebersold and Collector Onahan this morning, asking j for a permit for William Baldwin to! jump from a balloon at the height of I 5,000 feet at the West Side Driving park: | Mr. Onahan told him that the city was | not engaged in the business of licensing people to commit suicide, and he ! couldn't get any such permit. Baldwin, it is claimed, has made several similar j jumps elsewhere. Dispatches from I Quincy stated that on the 4th of July he I jumped" the 5,000 feet in the presence of j thousands and that the town went wild j over him. Hundreds of young men • were trying to emulate what they be- | lieved to be a great deed. Baldwin lias] a parachute which breaks the fall. Chief Ebersold says even if they did not I consider the danger to the man who ! performed the feat, they would withhold the permission because he might alight on some one in the crowd below. A coterie of sporting men are trying to get the chief of police to give his consent, but they will probably fail. The only alternative then will be to go to Chelten- I ham Beach or somewhere outside the j city limits. _ m Mrs. Logan Recovering.

General Belief That McGarigle Has Now Reached a Canadian Refuge in Safety. Meanwhile One of His Boodler Pals at Chicago Pleads Guilty and Asks For Mercy. A Pair of Sots Arrested For Starting a Fire Which Caused Serious Loss of' Life. The Leavenworth Bank Swindle— Indianian's Lecherous Record- General Criminal News. Special to the Globe. • Chicago, July Dispatches from Toronto and other points in Canada are to the effect that William J. McGarigle, the f ugive boodler, has reached Ccnadian waters on the schooner Edward Blake, having passed the Straits ot Mackinac without being intercepted by the Ameri can officials. McGarigle is expected to arrive in Toronto shortly. AHOI'T DISCOI'KAGED Chicago, July 29.— This appears to be regarded as the critical day in the McGarigle matter. The lull that pro ceeds the thunderstorm has settled over the sheriff's office and Mooney & Bo land's agency. The published dis patches stating that the Edward Blake had gone through the straits were later than any information the sheriff had. The last news he received was a telegram about 10 o'clock last night from Marshall Stuart, of St. Ignace, saying that he had been patrolling the waters until then, without having seen the. Edward Blake, and wanting to know if he should keep it up. The sheriff and some of his dep uties had a wild goose chase out towards the Northwest on a tip which does not seem to have amounted to much, al though nothing could be learned about it by inquiry. The sheriff is beginning to look a little fagged out, but his blood is up and he says he will find out where the fugitive is or know the reason why. Assistant States Attorney Jampolis was in to see him this morning for a minute, and the door was locked on them. If they had a clue they were AFKAII) TO GIVE IT AWAY, for both said their conversation was of no consequence. "What is new in the McGarigle case'-**' was asked of Detective Lanerigan, of Boland's agency. "That is easy to answer, nothing. We are not apparently any nearer the end than we were yesterday. The whole thing turns on that ship, the Edward Blake. If she's through the straits its a stern chase. It is not very far to Canadian waters then, and I am afraid it is good-bye, John, j We'll have to wait till we get a telegram from there. I don't see how they came to miss such a ves§eUf they were attending to busi ness fa &fc*? te<3 fe "I wofildn't like to express any opin ion on the subject of the dispatch say ing that the Edward Blake had passed through the straits," said Sheriff Mat son. "But I don't regard it in the same light that I would a proven verity. I don't see how she "could have got past without being seen. When Marshal Stewart's telegram was received 1 re plied, 'Use every precaution in watching.' " The boat " has en countered strong head winds and could hardly have got there by 11 yes terday, but she must be near there now. I expect to get definite word before night. If she goes through unseen I am afraid .we shan't see our man very soon again: Meantime we are chasing after the wild rumors that come in. I have to do that or else it will be said, 'He don't want to catch him.' Yesterday I had to search some houses on a 'wild steer' I got. I don't want to say whose houses they were, for they are prominent people, and there is no ground to justify a belief that they had anything to do with McGari gle's escape or concealment." ANOTHER TIP. St. Ignace, Mich., July 29.— James Connors, a lumberman, came in from his camp, about forty miles north, to-day and says a man ar rived at one of his camps on Tuesday and wanted a job cooking or some light work. Connors was shown a photo graph of McGarigle and is certain that it is the picture of the man who came to his camp. The supposition is that the Blake anticipated being searched and put McGarigle ashore before reaching the straits. Mr. Connor is a man of in telligence and this clew will be fol lowed up. 'y DONE BY DRUNKARDS. People Cremated Owing to the Criminal' Carelessness of Two Sots. Chicago, July 29.— 2:40 this morn ing fire was discovered in the bakery of Chris Helfen, at 3165 Archer avenue. For a time nothing serious was thought of it. . Shortly after 3 o'clock it was dis covered that a number of people living in the building : were either dead or dying from the effects of smoke and flame". The firemen and policemen hurried into I the building and soon began bearing out , unconscious bodies.? until eleven people had been removed. Then it was found | that Maria Trugo, aged two years, was dead. , The list of the injured is as fol- i , lows: Nelson Trugo, Jr.. aged twelve years; Delia Trugo, aged nine years; , Eliza Trugo, Joseph Trugo, aged ten years; Nelson Trugo, A dele Trugo, Mr. Bonner, Mrs. Bonner, Philip Bonner, aged seven years. Mrs. Trugoand Mrs. Bonner and three others will die. The fire started in Heffeii's bake shop, and was caused by a pot of boiling lard being upset, Ileffen and his family occupied the second story, but they all escaped 1 in safety. THE VNFOKTI'NATK TIJUGO FAMILY resided on the floor above, in the rear, while the Bonners lived on the top floor. The four surviving Trugo chit- I dren were badly suffocated. Their re- J covery is doubtful. A girl named ' Drew, aged eighteen, who boarded with i the Trugo family, was carried down < stairs by the firemen. She is badly in- | lured but will recover. A pot of grease boiling over on the stove was the cause of the lire. The story of the attempted rescue of Mrs. Trugo and her babe as I described in later accounts, is one of j peculiar horror and pathos. The police ■ and 'firemen had rescued her husband j and four eldest children, but she was in , some manner readily ascribabJe. to the j confusion of the moment neglected. , Left with her two-year-old baby. Mary.. , the poor- woman resorted to the window. J A fireman saw "her, ami plunging back ;. through .. the smoke tie re-, turned to her y chamber, all escape from 'the rear, with such a bur den as a woman and a . child was im- - possible. .He thought ■of the bed cord ' and tearing it out bound the woman and i her ,-baby. with •it and pushed them c through the window, lie let out tlie i rope until from the heat and smoke he i was ready to fall to the floor, when he ( fastened the upper end : to the bed-post i and lied. Far from accomplishing his ' i FOR THEJIEWSBOYS 1 DON'T FORGET The Globe's Free Excursion to Lake Minnetonka Every' Newsboy Who Sells The Globe in St. Paul or Minneapolis is Invited. XO. 211. gallant purpose he had but too surely compassed the destruction of those he sought to save. His rope was too short, and. instead of dropping the woman and child to the ground or .within reach of those below lie had suspended them in front of a first Moor window from which the fire poured as from a furnace door. She swung there ten or twelve feet from the ground, WIHTHING, SHRIEKING, STIirOGT.TNO as the fire swept off her garments, choked and actually broiled alive, the baby in her arms. By the most singular fatality the flames which were de stroying her left the rope intact. It became a necessity, if not to save the woman, to at least remove the revolting sight. This duty was assumed by Capt. William 11. Cowan, who might have ordered an other man to the task, but who chose to chance the fate which he was told by the horrified spectators awaited his ef forts. Seizing a ladder, lie threw it up to the blazing window and, with an axe, mounted and stood on its blazing rungs. He deliberately entered the flames and as they encircled him from helmet to boots struck the rope. He could not see and struck with inaccurate aim. Once, twice, as the clothing fell from him he struck in vain. At the third stroke the blade struck the rope. Simul taneously the burning ladder broke and the three blazing human beings fell to the ground. The baby was already dead, the mother died a few hours later, and the captain lies in bis home in what is thought to be his death agonies. Two bakers, Essen and Ansbt cher, who are believed to be responsi ble for the neglect which caused the' fire, have been arrested. The police say the pair had become drowsy from drink and instead of watching the stove, fell into a Stupor from which they only awakened when they and the tenants' above were at the mercy of the flames. A SLICK SWINDLER. Developments Regarding: the Wreocking of a Leavenworth Bank. Leavenworth, Kan., July 29.— wrecking of the Citizens' Savings bank is still the topic of conversation.. All night Wednesday a force of clerks were kept busy overhauling the books, and last evening Vice President Miekle' stated that the assets amounted to *105, -000, with &>7,000 liabilities. The assets include the property owned by the ab sconding President Clement, which is estimated at*524,000. Mr. Miekle further stated that when the stockholders pay the full amount of their stock-sub scribed, he believes that the depositors would be paid 100 cents on the dollar; '■that is," continued the vice president, "if Clement has not compromised us in some way that we don't know of now." Clement's brother-in-law, Ginn ery, to whom the former conveyed his property, says that lie does not 'believe that Clement took a dollar of the bank's money with him, as he borrowed §100 of him the day before his departure, yet three days before he left he invested $7,000 of the bank's money in a real es tate speculation at Wyandotte, Kan. W. B. Slosson. one of the directors, stated that Clement's peculations commenced from the time the Metropolitan bank started, put it was carried on so suc cessfully that the government bank ex aminer failed to discover it, and the in- stitution's condition was- - re) tor tout as all right. He further claimed that the Metropolitan bank owes the Savings bank $48,000, which is not included in the above assets. It leaked out to-day that the transfer of the Clement prop erty to his brother-in-law was made July 2, and that one or more of the directors knew of it at the time, but said nothing until yesterday. The general impres sion is that the stockholders will make good every dollar, as the majority of them are abundantly able to do so. , The Rowan County War. , Louisville, July 20.— There is much apprehension of trouble in Rowan county at the coming term of circuit court. Adjt. Gen. Castieman and Adjt. Roger Williams, who have just returned from Rowan county," had a conference with Gov. Knatt to day, and to-night it was decided to send two companies of state guards and a catling gun to protect the court and uphold the law. Many people left Morehad to-night for fear of being netted in an expected attack by the Tallavi faction, which band is supposed to number about 100. The telegraph operator was shot and has left, but a new man has taken his place. The town is guarded by forty men. ' ... A Licentious Wretch. Dei.phih, lnd., July 29.— A diary be longing to Amor Green, who recently abducted and murdered a girl named Lou Mabbett, has turned up at Young America. Cass county. It discloses the names of women and girls with whom he had been intimate. Previous to his flight, after the murder of Miss Mabbett. he had been known as a libertine, but the extent of his armours had not been suspected. The diary, which has just been found, contains a carefully* kept record of his licentious conquests. It covers a period of fifteen years and shows, according to his own computa tion, that in his time he has deliberately accomplished the ruin of sixty-five girls and married women. In this time he has lived in several states. The Preacher's Victim. St. Louis, July 29. The young wo man, Mrs. Thomas Abbot, who was thought to have been poisoned by her husband, has been identified by John C. Coulter as Susan Heck, of Chesterton, ■ and daughter of George O. Keck. A' postmortem examination of the body is now being made. The physicians in charge state that they found' a foetus of three months, and supposed evidences of an attempted abortion. Nothing has yet been learned of the whereabouts of Abbot West, who was clast seen with liter, and who' deserted his wife at Ches terton to elope with her. His Accounts Short.
