f f^LOBE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
I(7 20 WASHINGTON AY. SOUTH-
The oigrht Minneapolis vestrymen, who
recently resigned from Gethsemane
church, decided at a meeting held yester
day, that under no circumstances would
they reconsider their action, a step which
had been urged upon them by many mem
bers of the congregation.
The vtstrymen, without exception, ex
pressed regret that under the circum
stances there was no other course left
open for [hem to pursue. They declared
that their action was taken solely with
the welfare of the church in view. It
had been their conviction that the finan
cial condition of the church demanded
the closest economy, and as they still ad
hered to th,at view in spite of the op
posite stand which had been taken by
the congregation; their retirement was
necessary in order that harmony should
prevail in the church. The sentiment
was that other men whose views coincid
ed with those of the majority would be
better fitted to carry out their wishes.
A communication outlining their jjosltion
was prepared for presentation at the
church this morning.
Rev. J. J. Faude, who attended the
meeting, thinks that the vestrymen are
to be commended for the straightforward
manner in which they have acted on the
trying situation in which they were plac
ed.
LODGE LAW IN COIRT.
Trouble Exists in Chapter 9, Order
of the Eastern Stax.
There is trouble in Minneapolis Chapter
No. 9, Order of the Eastern Star, which
has Hna'ly gone to the district court, and
will be heard in chambers April 13.
The action is entitled Minneapolis Chap
ter, O. E. S., vs. Pattee, and is an action
for the purpose of securing a mandamus.
It appears that claims were made that
the chapter has taken certain steps in
the matter of expelling members from the
order, which it was claimed were Illegal,
In lodge law, and as a result the worthy
praml matron took away the charter
under which the chapter operated, so that
they c-ould not legally hold meetings until
the trouble was heard by the grand lodge,
onrt was settled one way or the other.
it is claimed by the friends of the grand
officials that the mandamus canont Ha,
fur the reason that under lodge law It
would be impossible for the othcials to
live up to an order of court. Should the
mandamus- prevail the court would order
that the lodge be reinstated by the
worthy nrar.d matron, and acocrding to
lodge law that cannot be done until the
mooting of the grand officials. It is a
trifle mixed up.
HEAVY" LOG CCT.
Ali Records Broken This Winter
Lumber May Advance.
The log cut of the season just closing
is the largest in the history uf the Indus
try in this part of the country, approxi
mating 640,000,000 feet, of which 410,000.
---000 feet will probably come to Minneap
olis to be sawed. Logs are now selling at
$1 a thousand feet above what they were
soiling at a year ago, and there is every
likelihood that the price will still further
increase. It is rumored that the price of
lumber will also make a further advance
of perhaps $2 per thousand feet.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 1899.
NEWS OF RAILROADS
LOCAL, PASSENGER MEN RECEIVE:
(it I 1(1 VI, NOTICE FROM THE
MICHIGAN CENTRAL
ITS NEW PASSENGER RATES
Move Intended io Place Us. -If on
i li>- Same Footing; mm the Differen
tial LlneH The Gutter Mny Ob-
Ject, and Then There'll He Trou
ble John i ■". Stevens Ajsain In
Charge,
Local passenger officials of lines con
necting with the Michigan Central yes
terday received new rate sheets and no
tices from George H. Heafforu, general
ticket and passenger agent of the Michi
gan Central, authorizing the sale of tick
ets to New York in competition with the
differential lines. The new rate sheet
was Issued April I, and went into effect
yesterday. The rate from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to New York will be $2!).50
and $27.30, the same as the differential
lines.
By this action the Michigan Central puts
Itself on the same footing as the differ
ential lines and declines to further ac
knowledge that any of the Chicago-New
York lines are entitled to a $2 advantage
In the sale of tickets. The new rate does
not apply out of Chicago.
It Is not expected that the change will
draw any business to the Michigan Cen
tral from St. Paul and Minneapolis ow
ing to the fact that all roads are now
selling at $25 and $23; in competition with
the cut made by the Soo. In territory
where the Soo rate does not apply, how
ever, the low rate will undoubtedly carry
a great deal of Eastern travel via the
Michigan Central. The differential lines
have intimated that they will not allow
themselves to be placed on the same
footing with the others, and it is expect
ed that this action of the Michigan Cen
tral will be followed with another $2 cut
by the differential lines. In this event
another big passenger rate war will be
on, for the Michigan Central people are
said to have declared that the time has
come when the differential should be
done away with and all lines placed on
an equal footing. It is expected that the
cut made by the Michigan Central will
call for similar rates from the other
first-class lines.
MR. STEVENS BACK AGAIN.
Resumes Charge of the Engineering
Department of the <>rent Northern.
John F. Stevens yesterday assumed
charge of the engineering department of
the Great Northern, In the capacity of
chief engineer, succeeding N. D. Miller,
■who has resigned.
The change was unexpected in railroad
circles and the circular announcing it,
which was issued yesterday, caused con
siderable surprise.
Mr. Stevens was connected with the
Great Northern as chief engineer from
1895 to 1898, succeeding Mr. Miller. When
he retired about ten months ago, Mr.
Miller again assumed charge and he now
gives way again in favor of Mr. Stevens.
During his absence from the Great
Northern Mr. Stevens has been connected
with Foley Bros., In the construction of
the Crow's Nest Pass extension, of the
Canadian Pacific.
The circular announcing the change
states that Mr. Stevtns will have charge
of the location and construction of all
new lines and will direct the location of
and plan for all bridges, buildings, tracks
and structures on the company's prop
erty, and the method of maintaining the
same.
DIVISION OF COAX RATES.
Railroad < ommltuilon Says What the
Two Lines Shall G«<t.
The railroad and warehouse commis
sion yesterday passed on the matter of
a division -of coal rates between the St.
Paul & Duluth and the Minneapolis &
St. Louis on the haul from Duluth to
points on the M. & St. L. The St. P. &
Duluth will get U and the M. & St. L.
the balance. The attorneys of the two
roads were notified that they would be
given an opportunity to argue the matter
before the commission yesterday morn
ing, but no one appeared. After going
through the papers in the case an order
was issued providing for the above divi
sion.
Cars will be interchanged on the same
terms that are in force at the present
time.
DULITH-SEW ORLEANS.
Work on the New Line to Begin

DES MOINES, 10., April B.— Surveying

posed Duluth & New Orleans railroad.
The line is projected to run from Minne
apolis south, across lowa and Missouri,
through this city. It Is considered a pro
ject of the Pittsburg & Gulf to get a
connection with the lakes. The company
seems to have substantial backing, and
Is attracting much attention.
Rnles With Duluth.
Freight officials of the St. Paul-Duluth
lines yesterday received the following no
tice from J. F. Goddard, trunk line com
missioner:
"Upon further consideration, the Trunk
Line association have decided to meet the
views of the St. Paul-Duluth lines as to
what is fair and equitable in the St. Paul
rate situation, and last year's schedule
will be adopted, as follows: 75, 65, GO 35
30 and 25."
This means that the St. Paul-Duluth
lines have won a victory- over the trunk
lines east of Buffalo in the matter of
lake and rail rates on fifth and sixth
classes.

OF INCENDIARY, ORIGIN.
Fire That Caused the Death of
Thirteen Persona.
NEW YORK, April B.— Despite reticence
upon the part of the police, facts became
public today which made it apparent
that the fire which destroyed thirteen
persons was of Incendiary origin. It
transpired that a few hQurs before the'
flames were seen a policeman was sent
for from the Andrews house and mys
teriously dismissed by a servant, who
said he was not wanted. v , Letters threat
ening the lives of the^Jladrews family
and the children of MSfjs?-«t. John were
found. It is believed^ $hst the motive
for incendiarism was VetsaSge, and that
the affair arose out of afmiarrel among
the servants. Foley, th^^iutler in the
Andrews family, is undej^. surveillance,
and the police are harg af^work Investi

the anonymous letter, f >

the Hotel Ingleterra last night and pro
tested against the action of the other
Cuban generals, declaring that they, as
generals, had as much right to assist in
the deliberations and to be heard ■as
those in actual command,, of forces. The
other generals Insist theT only command

CAPTURE OF LEECHES.
Fifty Thousand of Them Are Colo
nized In New Yo-rtc.
It may not be generally known that
fn r^! er New York Presses a colony of
oO.noo leeches. Leeches are not pretty
to look upon, either, and whllo it Is tru<j
that they have a clinging disposition they
could hardly be considered harmless
household pets.
Still, leeches have their virtues They
come In handy in the treatment of bad
bruises where quantities of cast-off blood
has collected beneath the skin. Many a
black eye has been checked through their
kind offices.
Awful thought! Suppose the whole 50.
--000 now held in bondage at the New York
leech farm should break loose at night
and with their gluttonlsh. blood-hungry
instinct, crawl through cracks and crev
ices into the sleeping apartments of
neighboring dwellings! This la Just what
happened to the waking tenants who liv
ed near San Francisco leech farm only a
few years ago.
Hundreds of them crawled up the walls
and tried every window and crevice, seek
ing an entrance because of some Instinc
tive knowledge that in the houses they
could find pasturage upon the occupants.
A few found their way into sleeping
chambers— perhaps 1,000 out of the 6,030
which made up the population of the
Frisco colony. But even that number
of snaky, black and green, creepy worms
distributed about a couple of large tene
ments sufficed to terrify the inhabitants
almost into fits when they felt the eager
suction of the leeches and awoke to find
themselves festooned with the ugly pro
ducts of swampy ooze.
There are said to be only two leech
farms in this country — one in New York
and one in San Francisco. Their loca
tions are kept secret to prevent com
plaint from residents in the neighborhood.
A prominent physician, who flutly denied
the least knowledge of the whereabouts
of the metropolitan establishment, in
formed the writer that there at times a.s
irany as ."0,000 leeches squirm carelessly
around, over or t hrough swamp muck,
incessantly searching for some hapless
unfortunate that chance may have mir
ed to furnish a feast for them.
The leeches are mostly brought from
France. In the surroundings of Bordeaux
there are large areas of black, light ooze,
in which leeches multiply without inter
ference.

The floor of the rotunda In the London
