FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken from St. Paul Papers of
Forty Years Ago.
A large body of Fenians are cros
sing the border at Rouse's Point, N.
Y. They are said to be 5,000 strong
and commanded by Gen. Sweeney.
This is the right wing of the army
of invasion, and is their main re
liance for the conquest of Canada.
Great preparations are being made
in Canada to meet them.
There are 1,100 Fenian's at Ma
lone, N. Y., ready to cross the
boundary. The Fourth United States
infantry are also there to prevent
any violation of the neutrality laws.
Both soldiers and Fenians are fra
ternizing and everthing is quiet.
-A number of small battles have
been fought, altho the Fenian forces
are at the great disadvantage of
having no artillery. A portion of
Spear's artillery made a dash into
i Frelighsbury, routed a British force
and captured a large flag. Col.
Sanders, with his regiment, engaged
a body of British horse yesterday at
Pigeon Hill. The latter was driven
i in confusion, losing a number of
killed and wounded and three flags.
The Fenians had three wounded.
Mayor Prince, Gen. Sibley and
Col. Merriam are back from their
trip to Superior where they escorted
Gen. Sheridan and party. They left
last Saturday at 2 p. m. in several
of Burbank's elegant new stage
coaches. They stopped the first
evening at Mrs. Benton's at Colum
bus, and then passed on to Sunrise,
which was reached about dark. The
hotel was illuminated, flags dis
played and the entire population
turned out to greet the general.
They dined at Chengwatana the next
day at noon and passed the second
night at Kettle River. The party
arrived at Twin Lakes for Monday's
dinner and at Superior that evening.
While passing thru a jungle near
Chengwatana Maj. Prince saw a
fawn lying asleep under some bush
es. Jumping out, he secured it and
brought it back with him. He will
keep it on his grounds.
The traffic on the St. Paul &
Pacific has increased to such an ex
tent that Mr. Litchfield has gone
east to purchase more rolling stock.
v.
Gen. J. W. Bishop, of this city,
has taken the rather dangerous con
tract of surveying townships 109,
110,111 and 112, west of range 39,
forming an extensive tract on the
western boundary of the state about
fifty miles west of Fort Ridgley. He
is also to extend his surveys south
ward so as to include Lake Shetek.
Gen. Bishop starts on his journey
with eight men, veteran soldiers
who served under him in his four
years' tramp thru the south. They
will be well armed and the general
feels confident will form a force
amply sufficient to defend them
selves against the savage Sioux.
Minneapolis can at last boast a
creditable newspaper. The first
number of the Chronicle was issued
yesterday and its well-filled columns
gave evidence that its publishers
possess the industry, ability and tact I
to insure its success. It begins with
a thousand subscribers and promises
soon to supplant the Atlas entirely
among the Republicans of Hennepin
county.
Over seventy sheep have lately
been torn and mangled to death by
dogs in this vicinity. But dogs, like
other public nuisances, must be pro
tected or some one's feelings will be
injured. The time is coming, how
ever, when an intelligent public will
no more tolerate savage canines
running around loose than they
i would a pack of wolves or other
wild beasts.
David Ramaley and Sherwood
Hough of St. Paul have been elected
grand master and grand secretary,
respectively, of the grand lodge of
Odd Fellows.
An immense vein or tripoli—a
very valuable mineral—has been dis
covered near Stillwater. It is twen
ty feet thick, fifty rods wide and
has been traced one mile in length
The tract embraces a fine water
power on Brown's creek adapted for
the manufacture of the article.
A vein of stratum of coal has been
discovered at Richmond, eighteen
west miles of St. Cloud. It was first
found cropping out on the Sauk
river, and by digging it was found
to be a vein of considerable extent.
It is of excellent qualitj and burns
well. The Richmondites claim there
is sufficient coal there to supply the
state for many years. Coal discov
eries are also reported at Vermillion
lake, where an excellent quality of
the cannel variety is said to have
been found.
Capt. Whitcomb, who has been in
command of Hatch's battalion at
Fort Abercrombie since Col. Adams
was mustered out five weeks ago,
has arrived in town with part of the
battalion. The frontier force, which
was organized after the Sioux mas
sacres for the protection of our
Western frontier, is the last organ
ization of Minnesota volunteers, yet1
remaining in the service—and this
is in the course of being mustered
out, This battalion has garrisoned
and guarded hundreds of miles of
frontier from the savage red men
and deserves high credit for keep
ing the enemy at a distance.
CHAMPION CYCLIST AND HIS SUNDAY.
"Major" Taylor, the great negro
cyclist of America, is admittedly the
greatest living racing cyclist. But
since the championships were held
at Montreal, in 1899, he has been
debarred from competing because
the races have been held on the
Continent, where all the more im
portant events are decided on Sun
days. He has religious scruples
against Sunday racing, and has sacri
ficed many thousands of dollars by
refusing to race on the first day of
the week. Last year he refused an
offer of $10,000 to compete at a
series of race meetings in France,
because he would not forfeit his
principles against Sunday racing.
Hurrah for the champion tho his
skin is dark, his example is white
and shining.
