The defendant deposited snow and >thei refuse material on the bank of the Mississippi river, at the foot of one of j :he streets in the city, the practical ef 'ect of which was to extend the street ever the bank so as to be unsafe for .iersons approaching the river over the street; and the plaintiff, being unaware, of the danger, passed over upon an embankment caused by the accumula tion of such material, and was injured. Held that the provision of the city char ter requiring notice to be given within thirty days of an injury caused by the j defective condition of a'street is appli sable in such a case unless it is made to | appear that the party injured is "bereft j of reason" inconsequence of the in- j jury, within the meaning of statute ex cusing notice in such cases.

'I he agents are instructed to promptly refuse any applications for this "purpose, as it is now against the policy of the interior department to grant permits for such purposes under any circumstances whatever. The agents are further instructed to lay the matter before their respective tribes and advise them that if any of the In dians should hereafter attempt to leave their reservation for exhibition pur poses- it will be regarded as an open defiance of the authority of the govern ment, and that prompt measures will be adopted to detain them. \ — rrtfc. . . ; Baby Whooped.

In her anxiety to see everything she let go of the carriage, and it started : down the smooth incline like a runaway sled. In the carriage was a very wide-awake baby about a year old. and when the alarm was sounded it was too late to overhaul him. The carriage entered the water just in time to catch a "re turn," and before any man could make three jumps it was riding out to sea. A hundred feet away it met a big green billow driving in, and now it was picked up, cradled in a smother of form whiter than any snow, and baby came sailing in with a woosh and a roar, to ..- be "caught by a dozen outstretched hands. And was :he terror-stricken? Not much! He clapped his hands and whooped, and when the- nurse carried him off he kicked the' blankets out ot the carriage and got red in the face.' i The Ladies Delighted.

D. Would-Be Congressman John son Again Shows the White Feather. The Democratic Fight One for the Cause of the Many Against the Few. Reckless and Artful Politi cians Now Control the Re publican Machine. Special to the Globe. T3 Larimore, N. D., Oct. B.— A monster mass meeting of citizens and farmers, irrespective of party, was held at Lari more, in the new city hall, to-night. The city was crowded with people from the country, who turned out to hear dis cussion of that all-absorbing question, the tariff. The meeting was advertised as a joint debate between Johnson and Benton, but Johnson did not show up as per agreement, so Hon. W. N. Koach and Hon. John D. Benton filled up the time. Mr. Benton discussed the tariff in a masterly manner, andheldhis audi ence spellbound for over an hour, fre quently interrupted with cheers and ap plause. He is doing a good work for Democracy and tariff reduction in North Dakota, and will almost surely be elected over his Norweigian, prohi bition, high tariff opponent. No man in the Northwest is better posted on the tariff than Mr. Benton. and no one can more forcibly show the damaging and disastrous effects of the high robber tariff upon the farmers and wheat grow ers of North Dakota than he. He is a true Western man and is loyal to his section and to his state, and the farm •of Dakota are beginning to realize fact. There is no abler man in th Dakota than John D. Benton, he will make a representative in congress of whom our young state may ily be proud. Hon. VV. N. Roach. Democratic candidate for governor, le a speech. Tir. ftoacli's Address. y Fellow Citizens and Neighbors: ooking over this vast audience I see familiar faces of many that 1 meet ly daily intercourse. Here at home mg you. my neighbors and friends, ■re l am best known, you will not ect from me that flow of oratory which is the gift or many, and while I shall not take up the time in going into details of the questions pertaining to this campaign, but will leave tnat to my Cd, Col. Benton, who follows me, I n my own humble way say a few sin the way of introduction. The Dcratic party, which 1 have the honor in part to represent, but assumes Catural and historic position when it uses the cause of the many against selfish interests of the few. Its sof greatest rigor and supremacy were those when it was most faith ful to the instincts of ifs ori land the principle of its founders, period of its weakness and defeat tne time al>o of its shameful deser of those principles and universal is which made it for so many f years the peculiar guardian of the in terests of the whole people? If again en- Cted with that power by the people, vill prove that in our hands their ts, their interests, their cause will er no detriment. A prominent Re publican official on the threshold of office gave expression to the wise sen timent, "He serves his party best who serves his country best," recognizing the truth by whomsoever uttered. We arraien the Republican party for its faithlessness to this principle, and for its inability as at present organized and inspired to minister to the welfare of the whole people. Dominated by a few artful a r .id reckless politicians, and pan dering to the greed and selfishness of favorites and spoilsmen, its over throw is a necessary prerequisite to the accomplishment of any vital reform. Our hope in this campaign must be in that patriotism which knows no party, disallied from the public welfare. To those citizens with whom country is be fore party, ana in that good sense and good purpose which ever inspires the hearts of the masses of theDeople under Democratic institutions, let me counsel to vigilauce and prudence in act ami utterence. conciliating by candor and convincing by appeal to truth and rea- | son. We should have no arts but manly arts, and upon these alone should we stand. We can not and ought not to compete with our opponents in the malign and sinster influences upon which their present management solely relies for retaining power corruptly gained and tyrannically employed. FILLED BY CARPKT BAGGERS. Who Get the Big Offices in North Dakota. j Special to the Globe. Jamestown, Oct. 3.— Did it ever oc cur to the substantial voters, who are residents and taxpayers of North Da kota, that their offices of honor and trust are largely held by non-residents, and by appointees, who, so soon as their terms of office expire and the salaries cease, will move away and out of the state to their homes at different points back East. Even one of our present United States senatorships, the highest position of honor in the new state, is held by a rank carpet bagger, and it is through him that a number of these unfair ap pointments have been made. The ap pointment of a man named Haight as deputy collector of revenue is a case in point. Haight is a protegee of Tierce, in fact is a relative of Pierce, and was appointed from Larimore and Gilby in Grand Forks county, when in reality he never lived at either place, but has always lived in Minneapolis and at La Crosse, Wis. He is now running around over the state on an annual railroad pass pulling for Pierce for re-election to the United States senate, and is met at the depot at different points by the various postmasters. The fact is that the office is a sinecure and gives these heelers a salary from the governmeut and traveling expenses to run around over the state and put up jobs for grasp ing politicians, which is right along in line with Republican policy and Re publican ideas of economy in the civil service. UNJUST AND INIQUITOUS. How the Robber Tariff Affects the Farmers. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Oct. 3.— lf the farmers of North Dakota and of the Northwest understood clearly the effect of this very high tariff, not one of them^ how ever he may have voted in the past, would ever cast another vote to per petuate the present unfair, unjust and iniquitous system of taxation. If the laborers and producers of North Dakota had to go down into their pockets and 1 pay out directly to the tax gatherer the large per cents of taxation for one year, which they pay as indirect tax under this high protective tariff, there would go up a cry of discontent from every farmer in the state, and the party that was responsible for the outrageous taxation would never get another vote in the state. Indirect taxation is the most subtle and dangerous preroga tive of government; and if the vast sums of money collected from the peo ple yearly by indirect taxation of the tariff were attempted to be collected by means of direct assessment upon their I property, tbe people of the We3t would ■rtua WAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 189 a rebel against the government, and re- '-. fuse to be robbed of .their- hard-earned; dollars without a struggle. V • ■■:'/ ' Any one ; can ■ see -.: plainly that . the , present . ;_ tariff, *.: ; with its ;45 ~ to l 50 per cent : average of duties, : increas es the cost 0f..; living to the J farmer of the West, whatever may be r I its effect upon the manufacturer of the = t East. /Exactly * how < much t the increase of expense; to the farmer,'^ statisticians 7 may not agree upon, but it is more than" I '. 25 per- cent. ; The ; depreciation Hin the I ! selling price of : agricultural produce, on account: of the interference of ex- : change between this country and those ! countries where the price of the produce is fixed, is more than 10 per cent. -With; a fairly constructed tariff, then, the ; fanner .. in the West :' and ; North west would be more than \35 per .: cent . better off. That 35 percent will usually be the difference between paying a 1 mortgage off and having it > foreclosed. Vlt is the difference; between prosperity, : happi ness and; comfort : on . the one side, and bankruptcy on the other. Protectionists threw around the farm er the blandishments: of a "home mar-' ket" and the patriotic motto: "Build up American business and not that . of.for-: eign . countries." The farmer should answer: . "By all means;, but let us all, both East and West, '£ North and South, .bear the burdens and share the ' benefits, equally." A re cent writer shows so starllinely . the disadvantages under which ; the . farmer now labors that how protectionist : de ceit can be "successfully practiced is a : wonder.. He ■ takes two states, Massa chusetts and Illinois, one a manufactur ing and the other an agricultural state. By the census i returns Massachusetts increased her per capita wealth during the ten years of low tariff, between 1850 and 1860, 15 per cent, while Illinois, during the same time, increased her per! capita wealth 300 per cent. During the twenty .years of high tariff, between 1860. and 1880, Massachusetts increased [in wealth 150 per cent and Illinois only 100 per cent. That is, the great state of Illinois," with all the wonderful increase of population, of agricultural products and commercial activity, including the buildinir of Chicago from a town to a city of 500,000 people,- could not show as much per capita gain in wealth in twenty years of high protection as un der ten years of a revenue tariff, while Massachusetts, almost destitute of nat ural advantages, was ten times richer. In order to buy implements, stoves, ' glassware, carpets, grain bags, barbed wire, nails, clothing, coal, lumber, etc., the farmer has to increase his mortgage, and sends to Massachusetts for the money, paying a high rate of interest. The years go on, and with interest and continued high prices for air he has to buy for himself and family, he gets be hind and the farm runs down, or, per haps, he is seized by the mortgage owners. So it happens that his ex hausting labor is thrown away, and what is the worst feature of the busi ness, his own money has been used to choke him. The money he should have saved and had snugly stowed away in the bank, has gone to Massachusetts or some other Eastern state,and come back in the hands of a loan company to be used for his destruction. The Democratic party is trying to get rid of this system of class taxation. If the fanners of Dakota will look straight at this question. and put away party prejudice, they will fight and vote with their friends, and not with their enemies. An Honest Campaign. Special to the Globe. Grand Forks, Oct. 3.— The Demo cratic state central committee has estab lished headquarters in the Security Trust -block and has inaugurated a vigorous and aggressive campaign. . Your correspondent's knowlege of the personnel of the committee enables him to predict with certainty a dignified and honest campaign, uu mixed with per sonalities and uninfluenced by those questionable methods so often used in close campaign struggles for suprem acy. They are fighting for principle and doing all in their power for the sup pression of the monopolist tariff, and the farmers of the state are beginning to realize that the. Democratic party. is the party of the people in North Dakota. — -. Everybody Satisfied. Special to the Globe. Grand Forks, Oct. 3.— Some people in North Dakota are disposed to kick against the prohibition law, but as a matter of fact it seems to work very well in Grand Forks and Fargo. The Prohibitionists have the prohibition law— that's what they wanted— and the other fellows^have all the whisky they want to drink\ There appears no ground for complaint there. Both sides ought to perfectly satisfied. ' •'' . • — . FIGHTERS OP FIRE. They Hold a Grand Tournament at Ashland. Special to the Globe. Asul and, \Vis., Oct.

Heiresses Will Take Note That Several of These Are Bachelors. New York, Oct. 3.— A1l the morning the people interested in the arrival of the Comte de Paris and party were on the gui vive lor news of the Germanic. At 10:16 she was sighted off the High lands and word was sent to the" city. The invited guests were anxiously wait ing at the barge office dock, ready to embark on tbe revenue cutter Cusbman, to welcome the comte and his party. There was some delay in waiting for one of the guests to arrive, out at 11:11 o'clock the cutter steamed down the bay with a small party, composed of Collector Erhardt. Gen. Daniel Butter field, Gen. O. O. Howard, Gen. E. D. Keyes, Gen. Fitz John Porter, Gen. H. YY. Slocum, W. B. Franklin, Gen. John Newton, J. G. Parke, J. R. Dillon, Gen. O'Beirne and several newspaper men on board. The Ger manic was boarded oil Staten island, and the comic, surrounded by his party, was waiting for the old warhorses on the quarterdeck. Gen, Buttertield. who is an old friend and comrade at arms of the comte. Was greeted very cordially. The comic, in very good English.said in greeting: "It is very kind of you to come down here to see me, and it makes the occasion very pleasant, I think it very kind of you to bring so inan^f old familiar faces from among the army of the Potomac." Officially Welcomed to America. Collector Erhardt was presented to the comic, and said: "1 am instructed by the president and government to welcome you to these shores, and to ex tend to you every courtesy." The comte replied: "1 thank you very much for the honor, and 1 am glad to make another visit to America. 1 appreciate the great honor conferred on me by the president." Gen. Fitz John Porter was then greeted by the comte, and the words uttered by him go to show how much he is interested in America and how fully fully acquainted he is with American affairs. He said: "I am glad to see you again, and to see you restored to your original position." Gen. O'Beirne presented the newspa per men to the Comte d'Haussonville, who received for the Comte de Paris. He said : "Our party consists of H. ft. H. the Oomte de Pans; U. R. H. the Due d'Orleans; the Due d'Uzes, the Marquis de Lasteyrie,t he Comte d'Haus sonville, Col. de Parseval, Capt. Mor ham and Dr. Kacanier. We came over for a pleasure trip to last a month. We return Nov. lon the Servia. We have had a trip without incident, except to get a touch of the hurricane. The party will be at the Windsor hotel for three days, and we go from here to Craigen's Point, West Point. We then visit Phil adelphia, where we shall stay a few days, then go to Gettysburg to View of the Battle-Ground. Baltimore is our next place, and from theie we go to Riciimond, by boat down the Potomac and the James river. We were met this morning by Col. Cop pinger, who represented Command er-in- Chief Schofield and Gen. Martin Mc- Mahon, of Gen. Howard's staff. We are to be tendered a dinner to-morrow by the Union club, and I don't know what other arrangements will be made, for we have so many invitations that it is almost impossible to select from them." The comte was asked what the Comte de Paris had to say on the future of Fiance and French politics. He re plied that on that subject the comte re fused to talk, as the subject was tabooed. The comte, who is a tall, broad-shoul dered man, with iron-gray hair and beard and an intellectual face, lighted up by a pair of kindly blue eyes, said in a voice with a slight accent to the re porters: "I am glad to meet you, gen tlemen, and to be in New York again. I sailed down this bay twenty-eight years ago in those sad and trying times. I see many changes, and am glad to see this country in such a state of pros perity. lam glad to stay in New York j and to meet you newspaper men. I cannot discuss any affairs relating to France." The Due d'Orleans Is a young man with a smooth face. He is con siderably over six feet in height and of muscular build. His hair is pure blonde and his cheeks a rosy red. He said that he had had a delightful trip, and that monotony Had Been Lightened by sports and games on the leeward quarterdeck. He is very much interest ed in American and in all things Am erican, and eagerly scanned the views in the harbor as the vessel neared the dock. He was a bit depressed, as his valet, Karl Haas, an old Austriau servant, who has been in his father's family for many years and accompanied him through India, is very sick and not ex pected to live. He will be takeu to a private hospital in this city. The pas- | sengers on the Germanic,,and especially i the members of the Kendal company, who" were on board, became fast friends of the comte ana his party. They all said that the due was a charm ing younsr fellow, and that his father was equally charming. Seven of the passengers engaged in a tug-of war contest against the Due d'Orleans, I three others of the party and a couple of Americans. The due was anchor for his side, and easily won the contest The party landed at the White Star pier at 1:20 p. m., and were driven to the Windsor hotel, where they have several suites of rooms.

PRIMITIVE SIMPLICITY. There Are No Modern Conven iences at White Sulphur Springs. While Sulphur Springs Letter in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Think of a grand hotel where the room numbers run as hi?h as 799 being without an elevator! It is easier to climb Prospect mountain back of the Colonnade row of cottages than it is to mount the various stairways to the top floor. Perhaps some time in the near future there will be further concessions to the spirit of modern Improvement. The field.exists. Here is a hotel with a parlor half as large again as the East room of the White house. It has a long dining room with two rows of columns. If you stand at one end and shout you . caii't be heard at the other end. Twelve hundred people can sit down to the 150 tables without any sense of crowding. This hotel covers more than an acre of ground. It doesn't contain a bath room. It has no annunciator.

"How de do?" inquired a short little man with an immense mustache and a closely cropped grizzly beard, of Clerk Goodwin at . the Tremont - : house last ' night, as he pushed a hand across the register. . , .

' SIZED UP BY EXPERTS Pullman's Lawyers Dissect the Decision of Minnesota's Supreme Court. The Finding In the Upper Berth Case Cuts Little Figure. Locomotive Engineers Will Wrestle With the Question of Federation. Nearly Four Thousand Miles of New Road Built This Year. Chicago, Oct. 3.— The opinion filed yesterday by the supreme court of Min nesota, in what is known as the Upper Berth case, reached the offices of the Pullman company to-day. There the officials claim that, although the suit was really against the railway com pany, its effect was chiefly of interest to the sleeping car companies. An exam ination of the opinion discloses that the court did not consider or pass at all upon the question of the validity of the order of the railroad commissioners re quiring upper berths to be kept closed when not occupied, or of the power of the railroad commisioners to make such an order. It simply decided that the dis trict court, to which an appeal from the order of the railroad commissioners was taken by the defendant railroad com pany, had no jurisdiction to consider such an appeal. The rieht and power of the board to make any order con trolling the operations of sleeping car companies was not considered or asserted. The questions involved in the case, the Puliman people say, are analogous to those considered by the United States supreme court in the famous milk rate case decided last spring, in which the power of the rail road commissioners of Minnesota to make final orders was expressly denied. COAX.IT ION OF TRAINMEN. It May Be Formed at the Engi- neers' Convention. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 3.— The twenly seveiith annual convention of the Inter nation Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, to be held in this city on the 16th inst., will attract the attention of railroad officials and the members of trainmen's organizations to a greater extent than any similar convention held in years. Upon the action of this con vention depends the future policy of every oreanization of railroad men in this country. The United Order of Railway Employes, composed of the Brotherhood of Kail road Conductors, the Brother hood of Firemen, and the Switchmeu's Mutual Aid association, have invited the engineers to become members of this federation. In case the engineers accept this invitatioii, railway employes will have an organization of greater power than ever before existed. It will be practically invulnerable. Should the engineers refuse to co-operate, the "federation" will stand as it is at pres ent. Prominent engineers are reticent as to their desires iv- the matter. The desire of trainmen to bring about the alliance has had its effect, and the indi cations now seem to be that a majority of the engineers are in favor of the move. The old differences between the engineers' and firemen's organizations have been adjusted, and the old antipa thy of the firemen is ended. Tins. therefore, will not militate against the coalition. NEW L.IKES OF STEEL.. Since Jan. 1 Nearly 4, 000 Miles of Railroad Have Been Built. Chicago, Oct. 3.— The Railway Age will to-morrow publish a summary of railway construction in the United States in the first nine mouths of 1890, which shows that 3,782 miles of new road have already been built in thirty nine states and on 212 different lines. The states showing the largest amount of new mileage are: Georgia, 323 miles; Montana, 312 miles; North Carolina, 226, and Washington. 207. The only states and territories in which no track has been laid this year are: New Hamp shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connec ticut, Delaware, New Mexico, North Dakota, Nevada and Utah. The Rail way Age estimates that the total con struction in 1890 will be from 6,000 to 6,500 miles, against 5,200 miles reported in 1889. BIG DEAL IN PINE LANDS. The Atchison Railroad Sells 300,- 000 Acres to a Syndicate. Chicago, Oct. 3.— The management of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad this week closed a deal by which 300.000 acres of pine lands, owned by the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, a proprietary line of the Atchison, were sold to Mitchell Bros., one of the most prominent lumbering firms in Michigan and the Northwest. These lands are located south of Grant station in New Mexico, a short distance west of Albu querque. It is agreed by Mitchell Bros, that they will at once build the neces sary logging railroads and develop the property. Active operations are to commence at once. It is figured that one acre of average pine land will pro duce as much revenue for one year fora railroad as 100 acres of agricultural land. All of the freight traffic to be built up by the development of this tract by Mitchell Bros, is to be handled by the Atchison. STICKS TO THE LAKE FRONT. The Chicago Terminals of the B. & O. Satisfactory. Chicago, Oct. 3.— General Mauager Odell, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, arrived in the city to-day trom the West. He declares that there is no truth in the published statement that his company is arranging for new ter minal facilities in connection .with the Wisconsin Central. General Superin tendent Dickinson confirms this state ment and adds that, instead of seeking new terminal facilities, the company is now negotiating with the Illinois Cen tral for increased facilities under its present arrangement, and that nothing can drive it elsewhere unless it is shut off the lake front by the world's fair.

Chicago, Oct. 3.— The will of the late John Crerar, which , disposed of an es tate of nearly $3,000,000, much of it be ing bequeathed '" to charitable and re ligious institutions in this city, is to be contested, and court proceedings will soon be commenced in what will prob ably prove to be one •■ of the most cele brated cases of its kind on record. The attorneys in the case are Messrs. A. W. Brown and Frank A. Stirtan. These lawyers, it is asserted, have found sev eral weak points in the will, which they say cannot stand under law. They say that the John Creiar library, for the erection and maintenance of which Mr. Crerar left over 52,000,000, will neyer be built if the contesting heirs win their case. - . . The heirs who will make the contest are living in this city and in different parts of Ontario. ' * Col. John French Called. Boise City, Idaho, Oct. 3.— C01. John R.
