Dangerous Illness or Trafllc Superinten dent i>wan- Crop Reports — Change t»f Time oh the Hastings & Dakota Divi sion, Milwaukee & St. Paul Komi— Monthly Meeting of Northwestern Ka.il way Association— Departure of the Mm neapolis— R tilway Per*ou»l-< uu.i River Drift. I Unas of' »f. it. Swan. J. C. Boyden, of the River road, received a dispatca from A. J. McCormick, assist ant general freight a^ent of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road, yesterday afternoon com municating the sad intelligence that W. G. Swan, superintendent of freight traffic, "was sinking rapidly, and that his recovery was hopeless. The afllioted gentleman is ■well known in St. Paul, where he is es teemed one of the most accomplished rail road men in the United States, and where he has attracted the friendship of the thousands who enjoyed the pleasure of hia acquaintance. He began his professional career as a messenger boy in the offices of Chicago, St. Paul <fc Fond dv Lac road twenty-nve years ago, and has been inti mately connected with the direction of that and succeeding railway enterprises spring ing therefrom ever since, with the exception of about one year when he was engaged in| commercial pur suits at Sioux City, lowa. In 1871,jhe be came assistant general freight agent of the Milwaukee A: St. Paul road, and in 1874 was appointed general superintendent of the West Wisconsin railway, remaining in that capacity until 187 G. In the latter year he was appointed eastern agent of the Chicago. St. Paul & Minneapolis railway. When the Northwestern and Western Wis consin consolidated, Mr. Swan succeeded O. E. Britt as general freight agsnt of the Chicago, Milwaukee &, St. Paul, which position he held until his promotion to the general superintendency of the depart ment of traffic, which he at present holds. The hope is ventured that he may survive the attack he is now suilering under, and live maay days yet to carry out the im provements in freight service he has for mulated, and is conducting successfully. Bait Kotew. M. C. Kimberly, superintendent of the Minnesota division of the Northern Pacific is in the city. Thirty-five emigrants reached St. Paul by the morning trains, and fifteen by the afternoon trains, yesterday. W. S. Alexander, traffic manager, and H. C Davis, assistant general passenger agent of the Manitoba road, returned from Chicago yesterday. Every day is Arbor day at White Bear park, on the St. Paul &, Duluth road, and trees are springing up there as thick as mushrooms after a shower. It is proposed to increase the speed of Pacific trains so as the shorten the time at least one day. Across the continent will soon be an easy and quick trip. The Manitoba road will send out its usual excursion train to Lake Minnetonka to-morrow. It will leave St. Paul at 9:35 a. m. and returning leave the lake at 5:15 p. m. J. T. Odell,superintendent of transporta tion, and Colonel Clough, general counsel of the Northern Pacific, accompanied the Dakota capital commission to Fargo Thursday night. J. C. Pond, chief clerk of the passenger department, Northern Pacific, has gone away to remain ten days. He goes with the object of taking a rest, and in pur suit of that desideratum he will visit * St. Louis. The completion and opening of the' short line road from Junction City, Ky., to Knoxville, Tenn.,announced for to-morrow will afford a new and direot route in con nection with the Ohio & Mississippi rail way by way of Cincinnati to Knoxville and points beyond. It is stated that the Union Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande have seli'ed all their old differences which have bton in dispute for years. Col. Dodge, of the Denver &. Rio Grande, came to Omaha last week and met Mr. Dillon for that purpose, and the adjustment of their difficulties wrs the re sult of their conferences. The St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway, has issued an amendment to the rate 3 mentioned in Tariff No. 206, between St. Louis and points on the line as far south as Alma. They run from 6u to (>3 cents per bbl on meal; from Gl to 73 cents per bbl on flour and from 30}£ to 36}£ cents per cwt. on Hour, bran and mill stuffs. The monthly meeting of the Northwest ern Railway association waa held at the union depot yesterday afternoon. There were present, Superintendents Breed, Wil son. McFarland, Eliis, Wakeman, Rice. Ca ble and Guthrie, but as far as could be ascertained the disposition of routine busi ness only, taxed the efforts of those in at tendance. Raports received by Emigrant Agent Johnson of the Manitoba line, indicate that crops in the Red river valley are "bloomin fine." At Stephen, Hallock, Ada and War ren, Minnesota, the weather is clear and prospects for a rich harvest abundant. At Grafton, Hilsboro, and Princeton, Dakota, there have been light showers of great benefit to wheat and other cereals. D. W. Ensign arrived from Devils Lake yesterday and brought with him glowing accounts of the progress and prosperity apparent in that section. The extension of the Manitoba road from the lake to Bartlett will soon be completed and the rails laid by the first of July, in time for an excursion train that is contemplated will be sent thither from St. Paul on the fourth of that month. The train on the Hastings & Dakota division of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road, ■which has hitherto left St. Paul at 4, and Minneapolis at 4:45 p. m., will on and after to-morrow depart from this city at 6, and Minneapolis at 7:15 p. m. Return ing the train will leave Millbank, Dakota, at 7:15 p. m., arriving at Minneapolis at G and St. Paul at 7:30 a. m. Arrange ments are in progress by which a sleeper will be put on between Millbank and Minneapolis and vice versa, and every possible means will be employed that can in any way contribute to the comfort of passengers. □T. W. Teasdale, general passenger agent of the Royal Route, is nothing if Hot origi nal. He is continually startling reporters and the public with additional evidences of his genius. His latest harvest in the fields of invention is a bulletin board de signed to expose some of the delights is store for travelers over that ronte, and that his creation has more than exceeded expec tations is universally conoeded. The orna ment is of oak, exquisitely carved, with looking glasses, oard receivers, and orna mentations without number, arranged with hangings, cords and tassels, etc., and varnished and gilded in a manner so tasty as to be bsyond all criticism. It is, in short, a masterpiece of esthetic art, fash ioned and carved in the studio of Poi osky ro Durb nof Milwaukee, and is intended ior gratuitous distribution. Work has been commenced by the Mis souri Pacifio to relay the Kansas City & Eastern and will be pushed forward to completion in about six weeks. The line is known as the old Narrow Gauge between Kansas City ami Independence. It was built by the assistance of Kaw and Blue townships, which issued about $300,000 worth of bonds in aid of the road. When Gould purchased the lino he tore it up and it has remained dismantled ever since. The citizens of Independence finally deter mined to compel the Missouri Pacific to rebuild that portion of the road torn up, and brought Bait to that end. The supreme court decided in favor of the plaintiffs, and the road, not desirous of making fur ther fight, will rebuild with a good grace and make a good property out of the branch by transacting Brownsville and Lexington business iv better shape over it. The Rivrr. The Pittsburg, Captain Killeen, of the Diamond Jo line, will arrive in time to leave for below to-morrow noon. The river, opposite this port, dropped two inches in the twenty-four hours end ing at 4 o'clock j esterday afternoon. The zephyr which blew on the levee yesterday raised the dust in quantities vastly in excess of the demand, and gave birth to expressions of opinion both origi nal and profane. The Minneapolis, of the Saints' line, got away for St. Louis at noon yesterday with fifty tons of freight and fifty passengers. The War Eagle, also of the Saints' line, is down in the books to arrive here to-mor row. Heavy Suit for Damages. St. Louis, June 1. — Tha Wiggins Ferry company of this city entered in the circuit conrt to-day a three hundred thousand dol lar dsnnage suit against the Chicago & Al ton Railway company for breach of con tract. In 1804 the Alton & St. Louis Rail road company.predecessors of the Chicago ot Alton road, made a contract with the ferry company for the exclusive f erryage of the railroad company's business, pass engers and frieght, across the river from East St. Louis to this city. When the bridge opened the ferryage business drift ed away from the Ferry company. A former suit between the same parties for a breach of contract resulted in a judgment ia favor of the Ferry company for one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. POLICE CO URT POINTERS. Obtained with Little Difficulty 'in Judge IJurr's Temple of Justice Yesterday— A Till Tapper Settled— Likewise Drunks and Disorderlies—Oscar Wilde Makes a Profound Salaam to the Court, and is Ac quitted of Assaulting Kit Clark. Charles Oleson confessed he was drunk and was fined five dollars. Albert Larson, charged with till tapping, denied he was guilty and said he was ready for trial. Solomon Nuelson related that when he temporarily left his store, Larson and a till of money remained behind. Upon his return both Larson and the money was missing. The former's subse quent acts were such as to confirm the suspicion that he knew something about the disappearance complained of and he was accordingly arrested. Larson testi fied that he had been paid money about the time the alleged theft was committed and that he was innocent of the appear anoe of crime. His honor had no doubt but that the accused was guilty; his repu tation was bad, and his pleas in court had been frequent; he was fined §25 and sen tanced to twenty days in the work house. OOcer De Courcy testified that about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, his attention was attracted to an incipient riot prevail ing en Third street between Jackson and Robert. Upon approaching the point des ignated, he discovered two young men named Chas. A. Henry and Fred Williams were the authors of the disorder and run them both in. Each was fined SlO and costs. Mrs. Margaret Egan was called upon to defend herself against a charge of riot and disorder alleged by one John Grady. She will tell her side of the case this morn iny. William Hart raised a miniature rumpus on Saturday night and was arrested by Officer Shaelfer. From the latters account of the affair the case was scarcely of the magnitude that was anticipated, and the defendant was let off upon the payment of the costs. James Campbell led a blue streak down Seventh street Thursday night, and was checked up short by Officer Budj, who ex proii! <?1 ~*irprise that one so drunk could strike r- ?!i a gait. The high mottled racer said little but thought it rather hard that he should be arrested for exercising a han i less pleasantry. He was fined £5 for hn fun. An old gray-haired urn:*, who gave tho name of Robert Herman, was arrested at 2 o'clock yesterday morning for the fail ing not uncommon even to elderly gray haired men. Officer Lynch asserted that he vainly endeavored to persuade the old man to go to bed, and as a last resort ar rested and locked him up. The prisoner denied that he was drunk, but not to the extent complained of. In view of this fact a fine of (5 only was imposed. John M alcii paid §5 for crooking the el bow once too often and th6n making a bed chamber of the public highway. Officer Moriarity disturbed his slumbers and the subsequent proceedings are above de tailed. Robert Hill and Julia Hill were arraigned for obstructing the 6treet opposite lot one, on Eighth street. Upon condition that they cause the obstruction to be removed by 6 o'clock last evening, sentence was sus pended. A man named Oscar Wilde was before the court yesterday morning for making an assault upon a girl by the name of Kit Clark. He was scarcely the counterpart of his idiotic namesake, who has acquired some notoriety by reason of his devotion to esthetics in art. He was not the typical tall young man in knee breeches, with a long face, a pair oi lengthy slim le^s, the neck of a swan and the voice of a crane. He was O^car Wilde in name, but no more like the simen pure Oscar than a monkey with a tin tail would be, Kit is a saffron haired damsel who appeared upon the stand with a bunch of lilaos held in her hands with an air of cunning cussedness. Her story told in mournful numbers re vealed the assault to consist of slapping her face because she refused to furnish Oscar money with which to purchase "booze" for the boys. He admitted the demand stated which he thought was jus tified by a brief though intimate acquaint ance; He denied the assault alleged, t and averred that it consisted sim plj in squeezing the lilly white hand of the proesoutrix. None of the witnesses who testified observed the battery com plained of and the accused was discharg ed with a warning. Pittsfoed, Mass., Sept. 28, 1878. Sirs— l hare taken Hop Bitters and recom mend them to others, as I found them very beneficial. MRS. J. W. TULLER, Sec. Women's Christian Temperance Union. If Sam Randall is elected speaker of the house by Democratic votes, says tne At lanta Constitution, a National Democratic convention will be as superfluous as that held in 1868. THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, SATUKDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1883. OLDISOJERS. THE AXXUAI. GATIIEUIXQ OF THE HAMSEX COUITTT VETEBAXS. Recounting the llhvh When This was a Bleak and Barren Wilderness— The Hunt- The Death 801 l for the Year— Ban quet at the Merchants In the Afternoon.

Saoretary — Judge Aaron Goodrich. Corresponding Secretary — J. Fletcher Williams. Treasurer — Dr. J. H. Murphy. Upon the announcement of the result of the election Mr. Branson returned his thanks to hi 3 friends for the mark of kind ness and expressed the hope that all hi 3 comrades were old enough to know how to behave themselves. He then appointed Dr. Day as chairman of the obituary com mittee and ieappointed the old executive committee. COLLECTION. The regular annual collection for James Thompson, the oldest of the old settlers, was then taken up, and resulted in a con tribution of $17.65. Thompson is a colored man and was brought to Fort Snelling in 1823 as a slave of one of the officers, and enjoys the distinction of being the only colored member of the association. ADJOUIiNMENT. This constituting all the business before the association the members adjourned to meet agiin at the Merchants hotel at 3 p. m. The Jianquvt. At 3 o'clock the old settlers gathered to gether in the ladies' ordinary at the Mer chants, and in numbers they were suffi cient to fill two tables extending the whole length of the room. These banquets of the old settlers are always interesting, qui et, dignified and pleasant. This one was particularly so. There was not much speaking but there was a genial and gen erons hv.v. • pervading the whole assem " ! . verybody was happy, •n presided at the head with that graceful dignity eg presence that so well bo i-ettler. Col. Allen always has a kinu ..uu pleasant side for the old settlers, and always set 3 up something a little extra for them. He did not forget them yesterday but arranged matters very pleasantly so that when they sat down to the well filled tables they were brought very near to each other and to a bnnquet that was in every way worthy of the reputation of the Merchants hotel. After they had disposed of the good things set before them, they fell into a general conversation in regard to the olden days, ami story followed story in rapid succession. Judge Baker referred to Judge Goodrich's connection with the bench of th.9 state, and asked him to say a few words about the early days of the bar in Minnesota. The judge, not Dy way of making a speech, as speeches were not in order, proceeded to state that Horace Greeley wa3 the cause of the legis lature in New York changing the form of the pleadings and abolishing those well known forms that the people and the bar were all familiar with, and about which there was no question. Hor ace Greely's bad advice was afterwards followed in Minnesota, which the judge condemned. There were lawyers in Min nesota in early day 3 who, he said, knew more than Justinian and tho great Roman barrister Trebonius, and these knowing Minnesota lawyers swept away the old forms without the least ceremony, and introduced others that led to end less litigation. In closing his re marks, he illustrated what he said with several stories that woke up the laughter among the oIJ settlers. Dr. Murphy told a few stories and gave Capt. Blakely several left handed compli ments for his generosity and liberality in bringing people into Minnesota in the early days. Judge Foster, of River Falls, spoke of the character of the early seftlers and claimed that while he might not have as much book knowledge as the college ed ucated people of the east, there was a sturdy manhood, a courage, and a per sistent determination that made him suc cessful in opening up new states in the wilderness. The valley of the Mississippi and the territory west was producing the men of the nation now. This was the most formal speech, and at the conclusion of the judge's remarks the remainder of the banquet took an informal and conver sational tone and form, and for half an hour or so the old settlers enjoyed each other's society in a free familiar way, till at last on motion they adjourned, the meeting boing one of the pleasantest they have ever held. The French government has decided to send the convicts to the colonies.as laborers are in such demand there. The discussion as to whether Australia has been benefited or the reverse by the transported criminals, after much discussion was decided iv the affirmative. New Caledonia will probably be the colony selected, as the island could easily support four times its present population of »0,000. HOARD OFPVHLIC WOBKB. The Seventh Street Pavi*g Matter— The Board Suitain their Kueineer and In spector Against the Charges of Tyranny — He it. to Resume the Work at Once or the Contract will be Finished by the City. At the regular meeting yeaterday after noon, the full board were present, with the exception of President Farrington, who was exoused, and the following business was transacted: The assessment for grading Pleasant avenue from Sixth street to Ramsey street was completed. The protest of thirteen property owners against the grading of Hoffman avenue between McLean and Clement streets upon the grades now established, was sent to the council, the order for said grading having been recalled from the engineer. The following were the bids for grading Boech street: F. Beyer, $6,780; H. C. McGartney, (informal bid not signed) $5,154; J. D. Moran, $4,495; Joseph Steinkamp, §4,924; Gas. Moline and Andrew Ostend, $-±,.,54; John Gehrke, $5,500; W. L.Norton, $4,994; John Fogelburg, #4,650. Awarded to J. D. Mo ran. The complaint that the sidewalK laid by Peter Berkey in front of lots 10, 11 and 12, Bronson's addition, was not laid to grade and rightly, and not according to con tract, and also another on Partridge street, was referred ta the engineer for a report of the facts. The award of contract for constructing a sewer from Ninth to Tenth street for $1,575, to Daniel Mullen, Jr., was recon sidered and the bid rejected, the advertise ment for bids being an error, the board having no final order for the work. The order to construct a sidewalk on De Soto street was ordered returned to the board. A protest against sewerage on Virginia avenue was placed on file, and a protest against grading Josette street also. The vote in favor of grading Josette street wa3 reconsidered aad an adverse report ordered sent in to the council. In a list of property to be assessed under sidewalk contraot, the clerk was ordered to procure abstract, and give first notice. The walks are as follows: Ramsey street, Fort to Forbes, Louis street, Nelson to Rondo and Rondo to Car roll, Michigan street, twenty- one feet of Western avenue; Dale street, Summit to Marshall; Kent street, Dayton to Summit; Chestnut street, north and south on Wash ington street; Eighth street Robert to Minnesota; Franklin street, Chestnut to Eagle, Third to Sixth and Fourth to Fifth; Burr street, Hopkins to alley in block 9,Partridge to alley in block 5, and Wood ward to alley m block 8; Lafayette avenue to Bruno, and on Robert street, Sixth, Min nesota and Ninth streets and on Selby ave nue. A voluminous dociment was received by the board from J. J. Palmer, the con tractor for laying the cedar block pave ment on Seventh street, stating that he had been engaged in various cities in laying pavements for thirty-five years, and com plaining of "petty annoyances and tyran ny" on the part of the city engineer and inspector which delayed his executing the work and resulted inserioas loss and dam age to himself. He furthermore asserted in this document that both the city engineer and inspector were incompetent, and that their interference was the result of their ignorance of the science of paving of which he was a perfect master. In addition to the papers presented by the contractor, himself and son appeared before the board, r d about an hour was consumed in tlio aring of the case. The contractor stated that he had been tyran nized over by the inspector, that he had been ordered and had tamped down the gravel between the blocks five times; that he was obliged by the inspector to use too large tamping bars for the space between the blocks, and to sum the'matter up into a nut shell, it appeared that the cause of the controversy was a determination on the part of the contractor to go on and do the work in his own particular style on ac count of his superior knowledge of how paving should be done, and to leave the asserted incompetent city officers in es pecial charge of the work without any more to say than Othello, when his '-occu pation was gone." In this hearing it was brought out that the engineer and inspector had been fully up to their duties and no more in the premises, and the contractor admitted that when he obeyed their instructions he had no trouble with them and experienced no tyranny. They, it appeared, were bound that the gravel used upon the works should come within the size from a pea to a wal nut_ (not to exceed one inch in diameter) and be screened to this size, according to the specifications under which the contract was awarded to Palmer, but he insisted in throwing unscreened gravel, in bulk, upon the blocks, some of which was as large as a man's fist, and what he could not dump into the crevices, cart off at his leisure. Mr. Koch, of the board, said that he passed over the work nearly every day, and claimed that he had not only been able to thrust a light cane down between the insterstices of the blocks on the com pleted work and touch the plank beneath, but that instead of three inches of sand being placed below the planking, in an instance of personal examination, there was hardly an inch below it as required in the specifications. Mr. Barrett, of the board, substantiated Mr. Koch in some of these particulars, and stated that when persons had spoken to those in charge of the work in regard to looseness in construc tion therein, they had had opprobrious epi thets applied to them. The result of the hearing was that the board concluded that they had faithful and competent officers in their engineer and inspectors, and put down their foot on the contractor and the tyranny complaint as decidedly as a granger in new brog;ms upon the first potato bug of the season. The city engineer, it seems, demanded of the contractor on Thursday that he should remove the loose dump of promis cuous sized gravel stones from the blocks and to screen all the gravel used according to the specifications, hereafter, or to hold up on the work. The former the contrac tor refused to do, bat shut down work on Friday morning, and appeared on deck for the following verdict, which was promptly and unanimously siren at the close of the hearing yesterday afternoon: Ordered: The contractor for paving Seventh street having stopped his work without cause, it is ordered that the engi neer notify said contractor to forthwith proceed with said work, and that if said contractor refuses to do so, the board will take charge of said work and finish the same at his expense, and that the engineer be further instructed to notify the bonds men of said contractor of the above order. The board when it adjourned did so to view in a body the contemplated improve- ■ ments on Pleasant avenue.
