Com' in Chicago.
Many of the leading spirits in the rail
r ad circles of St. Paul have gone east,
and with the exception of Mr. Oakes, all,
or neirly all, are in Chicago, where several
impo-rant meetings of railroad magnates
are being held. Chicago has to-day within
her limits a very largo number of distin
gushed railrjad men, especially from the
southwest, and all the transcontinental
i'Dfcg are strongly represented by the ablest
representatives of their respective
roads. It is a battle of the
giants that the roads are
engaged in, and that for whioh they are
battling is the freight and passenger traffic
between the east and the southwest. The
ooening of another competing line in the
Northern Pacific road across the continent
seems to have produced a fever all ar-und
and the consequence is, that ever Bince its
opening new combinations have been in
process of formation all around through
out the west, the northwest and the south
west. The objbctive points in all these
contests are St. Paul, Chioago and San
Francisco, and all the roads striking
out from Chioago and St.
Paul toward Omaha and Council Bluffs,
are coming into prime importance,!^ parts
cf ono combiuation or another with the
Pacific coast or transcontinental [lins>s.
So far the wisest and smartest of the rail
road men have not devised any satisfac
tory way of controlling the vast business
between the west, the northwest and tho
southwest. No sooner do some of the
ablest concoct a scne-ine of taking in a
number of the northwestern roads, as did
the Union Pacific, for the purpose
of getting a corner on bus
iness, thau some road, as did the Bur
liugton in this case, feeling its pow6r and
importance, refases to go into the agree
ment, and forms combinations of an op
posi.g oharacter. Tha fact has not yet
oeen developed that either of the trans
continental lines is strong enough, and
powerful enough to compel combinations
bo as to control the business of the Pacific
coast. it is in the main considerate"*
similar to the above that has drawn to
Oucago such a large number of distin
guished railroad men. Mr. Oakes, of the
Northern Pacific, is now in
New York, having left
St. Paul several weeks ago. Mr. Lam
born, of the same road, has also be--u in
Nd«p York for several days, but left there
tor tit. Paul on the 8th, and is supposed
now to be in Chicago. Messrs. Muir, Han
naford and Fee, of the same road, are also
iu Chioago. Mr. Barnes, who was dis-
from the Northern Pacific ticket
department, and Mr. H. C. Davis, recently
of the St. Paul <fc Manitoba, and the gen
tlemen, who will soon take a position in
the Northern Pacific, are also in Chioago.
Mr. Teasdale, general passenger and_ ticket
"^ent of the Chicago, St. Panl &
O i;il a road, and Mr. Frank B. Clark,
general traffic manager of the same road,
and Mr. W. H. Dixon, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee <fc St. Paul, are also there.
This is the contribution fr m St. Paul.
A few days it is expected will develops the
results of all these meetings.
RaUroud Building.
Extensive conversations with various
railroad men during the last few day3 has
satisfied us that the present year will bo
one of the mest active this country has
ever known in the way of railroad con
struction that has been known for years.
They seem to think that the comparative
quiet which has existed during thi past
year only meant a "panse to get breath,"
as it were, and that with the early days of
the coming spring a fresh start will be
taken and a lively work carried on
during the entire season. It is be
lieved that important extensions are to be
made in the northwest, particularly Dako
la, H3 the territory now traversed by the
two great railway systems of that seotion
is well settled and the demands to be made
by newcomers will necessitate extensions
of the roads, even were there not other in
ducements for suoh advancement. One or
two important lines, appearances further
indicate, will give considerable attention
to stretching rail towards the southwest,
there being a desirable and fast increas
ing traffic in that direction. The greatest
amount of railway construction in
auy one year for ten years
was nearly 11,600 miles, in
1882. This figure, it is generally thought,
will be exceeded by the construction of
1881. Another indication of a heavy in
crease of miiage during the year is the
present quotation of steel rail, prices re
maining steady at $35 to f 36 per ton, at
the mill. The leading rail manufacturers
of the country report targe orders coining
in thick and fast, and that they already
have contracted to supply about all they
have a capaaity for turning out during the
mon.hs of February, March and April, and
fcre pieparing for a still greater demand,
which they anticipate will be made on
them during the remaining months of the
building season.
A Mysterious Visit.
[Milwaukee Sentinel, 9th .J
Marvin Hughitt, general manager of
the Northwestern, and J. C. Spooner, at
torney for the Omaha road, arrived iu the
city yesterday forenoon, and returned to
Chicago at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Dur
ing the greater portion of their stay in
the city the gentlemen were in conference
with Frcsi lent Colby, of the Central, but
that official declares that the visit had no
importauce whatsoever attached to it, and
that it was merely for accounting certain
transactions which have no Unusual import
or significance. The few railway men who
were aware of the visitors' presence in the
city, consider it somewhat singular that the
two officials should indulge in a day's
pleasure trip at this time, as it is known
that any amount of fine figuring is not
only necessary, but is being done at the
geteral offices of west9rn roads just now
and that 6very official's presence is desir
ed. Commercial Agent George, of the
Northwestern, who saw the gentlemen for
a few moments only, is unable to furnish
any light upon the matter.
Mail Notes.
The weather i3 moderating on all the

Gen. Lambom, land commissioner of
the Northern Paoifio road, is expected to
return to St. Paul this morning.
AU the railroads reported that the snow
did not in the least interfere with their
running, and eaoh one of them le ported
all trains on tima all day.
The announcement of Mr. Davis goirg
into the Northern Pacifio road was a sur
prise to many railroad men who have
constantly said he would not go there. I
It i* well known that Mr. Villard I
was very much pleased with j
Mr. Davis when he was here, and it was
reported at one time that Mr. Villard
wanted him to go to Helena as general
ticket and passenger agent. He is regard
ed as a popular man and will be an acces
sion to the Northern Pacific.
Since it was announced that the Illinois
Central was coming into West St. Paul, all
fte folders cf that road
have disarpeared from the
various railroad offices in town.
Frank P. Dwyer, northwestern traveling
agent of the Chicago & Grand Trunk and
Grand Trunk railways, is in St. Paul. Mr.
Dwyer will make hi3 head
quarters in St. Paul, anci
has taken office rooms in the block on the
corner of Third and Sibley streets. Thi*

The Transcontinental Association.
Chicago, Jan. 10. —The meeting of tha
Transcontinental Railway association was
resumed this morning, all representatives
being present with the exception of Gen
eral Manager Clark of the Union Pacific,
whose position is understood to be that
until the association acts upon his prep
osition to admit its allies east of tbe
Missouri river into the pool, he has no de
sire to arbitrate on any other questions.
Tno meeting adjourned st 2:15 to 3 o'cicok
having discussed matters affecting the
rules and regulations of tbe association.
Ouly the question as to the admission of
the roads east of the Missouri is to be con
sidered this afternoon.
The afternoon session took up the really
important matter before the meeting,
! which was the proposition submitted yes
terday by Clark, of the Union Paoifio <o
the effect that the seven Iowa lines be ad
mitted to membership with Transcontinent
al association. The question
was argued at^ length. The oppo
nents of the proposition claimed
that it would make the association too
large and that, if it was brought io Chica
go as tho eastern t»rminus, it could not
stop there, as one of the proposed msm
bers, the Wabash, had a road east as far as
Toledo, which meat be included, and whish
would involve the admission of the Ohio
& Mississippi, the Lake Erie & Western
and the Yaudalia lines, and
thiB would involve others,
so that it could not stop short of the At
lantic coast, thereby stretching the asso
ciation from oceau to ocean. At tbe sug
gestion of the Central Pacific the resolu
tion was amended that tha commissioner
for the Transcontinental association be
the commi?sioner also for the proposed
addition expending to Chicago. This was
carried, only the Burlington and the Den
ver & Rio Grande voting no. Tho reso
lutioa for the admission of the
lines east of the Missouri river
as amended was then lest by a tie vote, as
follows: Year, Unioa, Central, Southern
( and Texas Pacifies and Galvastor,
Houston & San Antonio; nays, Burlington,
Northern Pacifio, Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, Denver & Rio Grande and the
Atlantic & Pacific. The Union Pacific
then stated it would withdraw from tha
Transcontinental association on
Fob. 6 next, having given
a verbal notice of its intention to do so at
tha meeting on Nov. 8th, or ninty day?
from Feb. Gth. The commissioner tie
cided that as the recods
showed nothing of this notic
he could not recognize the claim. Tha
Union Pacific, however, persisted it.would
not be bound by tho agreement beyond
that data. The oommisioner stated
that he had received a formal
notice of withdrawal from tha Atlantic &,
Pacific, dated Dec. 13. In order to pre
vent a disruption of the pooh tha remain
ing lines then agreed they would consider
the agreement binding, and would con
tinue it* operation so long as not to ex
ceed the the three lines withdrawn. Tha
fact tha» the Central Pacific Toted wiih the
Union Paoifio is interpreted to mean it
will tska no action to a^tagouizs the
fatter.
Missouri River Tragic.
ISpeciat Telegram ,to the Globe. I
Chicago, III., January 10.— The gen
eral passtnger agen h of the Missouri
river lines held another meeting this
evening to consider the question of com
missions and other matters which have
grown out of the action of Commissioner
Pierson in cutting off the sale of tickets of
certain western roads, but the Chicago,
Burlington & Quinoy company announced
that until after other western complica
tions now existing and which could not
possibly be settled before the meeting of
the roads in the new western railway alli
ance to bo held here on the 17th inst., it
was not in a position to take any definite
action. The meeting adjoarned to the
18th in consequence.
After the adjournment there wf s a con
sultation, and the aotion of the Chicago &
Alton and Rock Island roads, in cutting
ri*tes from Kansas City east withont con
sultation with the other parties to the Ksi -
sasCity oontraot was thoroughly considered
by the Burlington and Hannibal & St, Joe
folkB.' It resulted in the sending of the
following telegrams:
'•Chicago, 10.—H. C. Orr, Esq., agent
Hannibal & St. Joe Railway, Kansas City,
Mo.: You will at onoe give the requisite
five days' notice after the withdrawal of
our line from the Kansas City agreement,
and state a3 the reason for so doing that
while the action of the Rock Island and
Alton roads is arbitrarily making vhe rate
to New York without first having gained
the consent of other lines was in violation
of the Kansas City agreement, and ren
ders it void and no longer binding. Yet
we prefer to give this formal notice raih«r
than retire without complying with the
terms of said agraemest. We deny the
right of any road or roads for any cause
to fix a rate from Kansas
City without consultation and con
sent of the other lines interested, and
when certain roads have assumed the au
thority to make rates in conflict -with the
agreement we do not believe in affording
th»m any protection that they would gain
by our maintenance of other provisions of
the agreement. As this is not the first
time one of these roads has arbitrarily al
tered the agreement in this way to suit its
convenience, we prefer now to have it un
derstood we want either an agreement all
the provisions of which shall be main
tained or else no agreement at all.

line:
CmoAgo, Jan. 10, 1884.—-At an adjourn
ed meeting of the Missouri river lines held
this morning we opposed any compromise
in the commission question or even a dis
cussion of the same as long as certain
western liacs proposed flatly to pay them
to anybody they chose and other western
lines were confessedly on the tence.

Burlington folks are very outspoken in
their intentions. Mr. Potter stands pre
cisely where he did at the outset, and after
conversing with several cffiaials of the Bur

see the slightest chance for any arrange
ment to be arrived at on the 17th. Mean
while pools and arrangements are being
dissolved and broken, and it looks as though
the 17m would find things in a more dis

many monthF. It will be very strange if
the eastern Une^ are not drawn into the
controversy. The Burlington folks are re

THE TABLES TURNED.
Cornelius Allison Sned for Divorce by His
Wife Proves the Deeply Injured Party
and is Alone Granted Divorce aud the
Custody of His Children—Minnie Proven
a FraU, Festive aud Troublesome Virago
Judge Simons rendered a decision yes
terday in the bitterly contested divorce
case of Minnie W. Allison vs. Cornelius
Allison which was before in the district
court for four dav - la*t November, and
which from the peculiar character of the
testimony elicited caused considerable at
tention. As the details of the case were
given in full iu the Globe at that time the
following full abstract of the decision will
be of interest, being as it i3 in the entire
interest of the defendant:
DECISION.
First—For more than two years prior
to the commencement of the action
the parties were residents of Minnesota.
The plaintiff is 28 years of age and the de
fendant 38. They were married the 10th
day of March 1870 at Elgin, Wabashaw
county, aud lived together until Septem
ber, 1882, they having two children, a
daughter, Jessie, aged 13, and a boy,
Ralph C, aged 9. Except as above the
allegations of the complaint are untrne.
Second —The parties have resided in the'
places named in the answer. Dee. 19,
1880, in a certain room in a building
known as Irving's blook, (Flat Iron
block), at the junction of
Third and Eagle streets, the plaintiff com
mitted adultery with a man whose name
does not Rppear in the evidence. Oa Sep
tember 20, 1882, at the residence of the
parties on Division street, in the city of
St. Paul, the plaintiff oommitted adultery
with another unknown man whose name
does not appear in the • n n-nae. The two
aots of adultery were •■ lifted without
the knowledge, consent or c^naivance of
the defendant.
The plaintiff has not cohabited with the
defendant since the discovery by him of
this adulterous conduct, and such adultery
has not been oondoned cr in any manner
forgiven by defendant. Excepi; in the
above allegations the adultery of the plain
tiff has not been proved true.
In October, 1882, without fault of the
defendant, the plaintiff left his residence
on Division street and took the two chil
dren and has since kept them concealed
from him against his will for months at a
time, Rnd a portion of the time at Romo,
N. Y., and these children are now in the
onetody of said plaintiff. Before taking
the children away the plaintiff taught them
to disobey and disrespect their father and
in that way has to a certain extent alien
ated their affections from him.
Since the removal of the parties to St.
Paul the plaintiff has been in the habit of
neglecting her household and domestic
duties, frequently refusing to oook the de
fendant's meals, which he had to procure
him&elf before going and returning to
work, She was also addicted to the use of
intoxicating liquors to such an extent as
to be frequently intoxicated.
She also associated with lewd characters
of both sexes at her house an* ela&wbers,
without the knowledge of the defendant.
She also associated with these at ni^ht in
the streets and in other places in the city
and in the presence of her children, and
her character and conduct makes her unfit
to have them in her oare and custody.
The defendant is a man of good moral
character, sober and industrious, and while
now having but little property, ie fully
able and competent to have their care and
custody, to maintain and educate them in
a suitable and proper manner, and their
interests require that they be placed under
his oare, protection and management.
Under the conditions of the law the
plaintiff is not entitled to any relief, and
the defendant is entitled to judgment and
adj idging and decreeing.
First—That the plaintiff take nothing
by this action.
Second—That the bonds of matrimony
between the defendant and plaintiff be
dissolved.
Third—That the defendant have the
entire custody, care and education of his
children, and that the plaintiff ia enjoined
from removing or interfering with them
unless by a further order of this court.
Fell Through an Open Vauit.
A peouliar and disgusting accident oc
curred on the Oaks estate, corner of
Eighth and Jackson streets, early yester
day morning, which might have resulted
in the most horrible consequences. Dur
ing Wednesday night scavengers had been
employed in cleaning out the vault, and
not having completed the work they quit
before daylight, and went away without
replacing the floor and leaving the vault
unprotected. Early in the morning a fo
male domestic visited the outhouse, and,
not knowing the condition of the plaoe,
she opened ths door and fell head first into
the vault, which, as stated, had not been
entirely cleaned. After a terrible struggle
she partially released herself and com
menced to scream. This attracted the at
tention of Mr. Pat. Shanley, who seized a
club and ran to the vault.
Pushing open the door he
too plunged headlong into
the vault, meeting the same dire fate. Then
they both commenced to scream and
this brought out the members of the house
hold, and after great dificulty the unfortu
nate people were rescued, not very badly
injured. Alongside of the vauit were
found a couple of empty whisky bottles,
which leads to the belief that the accident
was due to gross carelessness oa the part
of the scavengers whose failure to cover
Ihe vault is most reprehensible.
A Test Opinion Invited.
The quo warranto proceedings in the
case of tha treasurer of Olmsted county to
compel him to vacate his office under the
decision given by Attorney General Hahn
that it expired Jan. 1, 1884, instead of
March 1, 1884, the latter being the term
for whioh he was elected before the new
constitutional amendment making certain
offices begin and expire on the 1st day of
January, became a law by its acceptance
by the voters of the state, was argued and
submitied in the session of the supreme
court yesterday. The incumbent treasurer
elaims he has a constitutional right to
hold the office to Maich 1,1884, and draw
his pay until that date, and the attorney
general claims not.

The following report was submitted to
the governor by Secretary Young yester
day:
To His Excellency, Gov. L. F. Hubbard,
President, and the Honorable Members
of the State Board of Immigration:
Gentlemen: The former report of the
business of this of53e closed with the 30th
November, 1882, and in order that this
shall close with the year, there is included
in it the thirteen months ending with the
31st of December, 1883.
At the beginning of the period named,
there were on hand between 9,000, and 10,
000 pamphlets and state maps, of the edi
tion of 1881, and about 50,000 of the cir
culars and maps of 1882.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the
board at the meetings held May 3d and
May 24th, 1883, your secretary made
contracts with Messrs. Berlandi & Bott
for lithographing another edition of 100,
000 copies of the state map for the sum of
$1,025; with the Pioneer Press company
for printing 52,000 pamphlets and a cir
cular on the reverse side of 38,000 maps,
for the sum of $444.75; with
the Volkszeitung Printing company for
translating matter and printing in Ger
man 35,000 pamphlets and the reverse sides
of 35,000 maps for the sum of $53?: with
the Nordvestern Publishing company, for
translating |and printing 24,000 pamph
lets and the reverse side^ of 15,000 maps in
Norweigan, for the sum of $45P>.25; and
with the Swedish Pub. shing Co.,for trans
lating and printing in Swedish 19,000
pamphlets itnd reverse sides of 12,000
maps, for the sum of $378.19, being a
total of 100,000 maps with general desc i;>
tiou of state on reverse sides and 13,000
pamphlets, the latter consisting of a series
of six, each containing a detailed deecnp
tion of the state, according to sohedu.«
agreed upon by the board May 3, 1883.
Of these publications there have beer
finished ami delivered at this iUte 88,000
maps—the 12,000 in Swedish not being jet
printed on reverse side - 47.0 0 pampnloiy
in English, 32.000 in Ger,. .. 22,000 in
Norwegian aud 1,000 iu Swtuist,, making a
total of about 112,000 pamphlets and of
130,000 maps, old and new.
There have been distributed during the
thirteen months about 9,000 of the eld
pamphlets, 45.000 of the old maps, 12 ; 000
of the new pamphlets and 20,000 of
the new mapB; or a total
of 86,000 of the board's publications.
Besides these your secretary has mailed a
large number of statistical, agricultural,
educational and other official state reports.
The individual inquiries of persons
contemplating immigration received
during the last eight months were not so
numerous as in the same months of 1881
82, but there has been an equally large de
mand for documents from steam and rail
way companies and agents and
several large orders are still waiting to be
filled.
Many of the inquiries reoeived from in
dividuals have reference to particular lo
calities, sometimes designated townships,
and occasionally even sctions of
land about which especial information
is Bought for.
Though these always require the writing
of u private letter, the new pamplets de
scribing the several divisions cf the|state
are very much more convenient for
answers than any general
description hitherto published, or that
could be comprised within the limits of nn
ordinary sized immigration docu
ment. Another advantage of these
especial divisional descriptions is
that they are more appropriate
for the use cf those who desire to advertisa^
their own respective localities.
A large proportion especially of recent ]
received inquiries come from
parties having manufacturing, c*m
meruial or professional pursuits
in view, and from those contemplating
•took growing or dairy farming, and al
though immigration into the state the past
year is estimated to have been only about
70 per cant, of that of 1882, making the
net gain in proportion though this source
between 35,000 and 40,000 people, those
who have come have probably brought
with them a larger amount of capital than
tho immigrants of any former year.
Among others whe have msde heavy in
vestments in the state within the period
inclosed in this report, is the
Standard Cement company, who have pur
chased a qu;rry and built extensive works
near Mankato, where they are now making
an excellent quality of hydraulic cement.
A Mr. Alberger, of New York, has also lo
cated in that city and proposes to establish
near there in the spring
a drain tile and sewer pipe pottery and
kiln for manufacturing fire-brick, having
satisfied himself by experiments that
there is an abundance of material there
for the profitable pursuit of these indus
tries.
Parties have likewise visited the state
prospecting for material suitable for mak
ing fire proof building tiles, porcelain
ware, and glass, and are known to have
been at least partially successful, although
their enterprises are not yet developed.
Others have instituted inquiries as to
the feasibility of introducing the cul
tivation of sugttr beet, flax and hemp in
Minnesota, and of establishing sugar,
linen and cordage manuf acturies hero, and
have satisfied themselves that this would
be an excellent field for these industries,
though nothing has yet been aocomplished
by them.
One fruit and vegetable canning estab
lishment has been in partial operation
during the season at Mankato, and though
it did not get fairly to work till late in the
summer and had the disadvantage of a
peculiarly unfavorably season, the pro
prietor, Mr. Hodapp, reports that he haB
put up and sold 9,000 two pound cbbs of
corn 4,000 ditto of beans and 2,000 three
pounds cans of tomatoes.
Next year he expected to put up from
125,000 to 150,000 eans. Acting
under your instructions your
secretary has used the facilities
of the office to the best of his ability to
aid nil these and many other manufactur
ing enterprises. Having made extensive
inquiries concerning other clays, stones,
slates, mineral and metallic ores found
in the state, he has plaoed all suoh infor
mation freely at tho comm«nd of all in
quirers who manifested interest in
the several branches of industry
involved in their development. In short,
information concerning every resouroe,
and manufacturing facility in all parts of
the state that he has been able to obtain
knowledge of, has been gathered and pub
lished as widely as practicable, and all
efforts likely to lead to their development
have been aided and encouraged to the
utmost.
The effect of labors in these directions
have been to add to the population of the
cities which have already largely
added to and will continue to increase the
profitableness of agricultural labor, by
creating home markets for portions of
products of fields, herds and dairies. It
oannot be successfully disputed that a
great deal of credit is due this board for
•
the rapid development witnessed in the
state within the past five years, and it may
justly claim to have accomplished all that
could be done with the limited means
placed at its disposal from time to time,
The expenses attending the last year's
work are shown in the following financial
summary and also in the detailed state
ment of expenses which is appended to
thi3 report, to wit:

FIRING TJi;; BUMS,
The Act Was P«rforiu«<i In Great ShJpe by
Judge Ilurr Yesterday Morning.
John Gorman, the merry cobbler who
left his last to drink whisky and travel on
his muscle, was before the court again
yesterday for the second time this week
and as usual he was tha prevailing sensa
tion. Last M:nday he was arraigned on
the charge of drunk and disordsrly, and on
promising to take the pledge and leave off
drinking he was discharged. Yesterday he
bobbed up again on tha same charge, hav
ing been fighting full. This time the
brow of the court wore a frown of disap
proval, and when the prisoner was sen
tenced to have the hose turned on him and
languish for thirty dajs, he knew there
wa3 no mercy for him. In the course of
the session he distinguished himself by one
of his u«ual didos.
The c ise of Peter Newgaard, charged
with HA-indlinu; the horny handed sons of
toiloii.ul their hard earninjj;b by means
of thfi employment bureau snap, was on
trial ths accused occupying a seat along
p.ide of Gorman. There was not much io
the ca^e, end previous to the disohargo of
the prisoner hizzoner gave him some sound
advice, alluding to the me'.nnoss of a
frttud that robbed the laboring
classes. rSke aoco&ed wfs penitent
and tried to explain, becoming quite ex
cited, atd Gorman stood it as long as he
could, and imagining the other prisouer
was sassing the judgf he suddenly hauled
off aud countered a terriflic blow on the
poor fellow's face. Great excitement eu
sued, in the midst of which Gon. Shields
took out his darbies and placed them ou
the wrists of the rtfaotory prisoner.
Although but a "kid" in jears
Thomas Caine haa started in the
path, which, if he doesnt forsake, will land
him in the penitentiary. He commenced
his career as a sneak thief, and it Is to ba
hoped that his punishment will teach him
a timely lesson. Yesterday he was before
the court on the charge of stealing nine
pocket books irom Davenport's drug store,
two boxes of cigars from Monfort's, and
a box of Havanas from the store of Ken
nedy & Chittenden. The evidence of bis
guiU was conclusive, but in view of his
youth the court gave him a lecture and
another chance to reform, sending him up
for only ninety days.
The next oase of interest was that of Al
bert Katschinsky, who was arraigned on
the charge of bastardy. His Nemesis ap
ptared in the shape of a blooming widow
of thirty-five or forty winters,
and she deposed that the festive Albert
was the progenitor of her child born l<*st
November. He denied the ohargs aud lis
wai given the chance to marry hsr or yo
to jail. Of the choice of apparent evils
ha ohone the latter, and was committed to
the grand jury.
The oase of Gotleib Houele, charged
with selling dUeased swine, didn't pan out.
It appeared that Gotleib had purchased
the hog himself, and, without knowing its
condition, he sold it to the complainant.
He agreed to refund the latter the price of
the pig and the oaso was dismissed.
The assault case of the oity vs. Thos.
Hall waa continued until to-day.
LABOR TA. CAPITAL.
lecture at Markat Hall Last Evening by
Samuel Lenvitt.
A fair-sized audience assembled at Mar
ket hall last evening to hear the lecture of
Samuel Leavitt, the apostle of labor re
form, who spoke at some length upon the
subject of labor, the text of his theme
being "The address of a white slave to
his fellow slaves in the United States."
The lecturer was introduced by Mr. G. A.
LaFafette, president of the Trade's union
of this city.
Upon being introduced, the lecturer pro
duced a copy of Puck, which represented
Gould, Field and other capitalists buying
a white slave jfroin the blook. Allusion
was then made to the organization known
as the Knights of Labor. The
speaker said that a strong
effort had been made to break
up the society known as the Knights of
Labor, and a number of authorities were
quoted to show that the society was strong
er to-day than ever before. The speaker
said that he believed in spiritual dyna
mite. The New York Sun, he said, was
the leading paper of the oountry; th9
speaker had written for this paper, and he
knew how it was himself. The papers of
New York were going to the bo v- wows,
and the New York Tribune took the lead
in this direction. He then spoke of the
over production and under consumption
in the United States, whioh he attributed
to what he called the imperial conduct of
the rulers of the country.
He then made a general tirade against
the power of capitakthe subjects of which,
the laboring class, be characterized as un
der a more grinding dominion than were
the colored slaves of the south. The lecture
was in the interest of the members of the
trades unions of this oity, and it dealt
mainly in generalities of the usual 6tock
character.

Adam Fritz respondent, vs. Ponnock Pu
sey, appellant
Syllabus—An incumbrance within the
meaning of a covenant against inenm
brances,includes any rightor interest in the
land which may subsist in third persons,
in the diminution of the value of the land,
but consistent with the pushing of the fee
by the conveyence, hence an outstanding
lesse is an incumbrance.
The inability of the grantee in a deed
to obtain possession by reason of an oat
standing paramount right or title is a
breach of the covenant for quiet enjoy
ment. It is not necessary thai there be an
eviction by process of law or even an ac«
ual expulsion.
When tho breach of either of the above*
covenants consisls of the Mistonce of an
unexpired term or lease taimeasure oi Use
damages, at least in the absence of any
special Circumstances, will be th^j value of
the use of the premises for the time during
which the grantee has been deprived of
suoh uee. Order affirm;d.
Mitchell J.
N. E. Co'jlRlrom, respondent, vs. the Min
neapolis & St. Louis Railway company,
appellants.
Syllabus—If the facts stated in a com
plaint constitute a single cause of action a
prayer for inconsistent forms of relief will
not render the pleading demurrable on the
ground of a misjoinder of several causes
of action.
