FREIGHT TRAFFIC IS LESSENED BY RAINS Storm in Northwestern States Causes a Curtailment in Shipments. As a result of the heavy rains during the past week, Northwestern railroads are carrying at least 30 per cent less freight than the usual consignments amount to. All the lines entering St. Paul are sufferers, as the storm was general throughout the Northwest and partly disabled every road operating in this section. But the decrease in the freight is not due to the damage done to the roadbeds, which in itself amounted to several thousand dollars. It is the i heavy and muddy wagon roads that have caused the freight shipments to shrink. Farmers have been unable to drive to town with their products, consequent ly the general merchandise trade In the small cities and villages has been greatly curtailed during the wet spell. This one cause in itself has made a large decrease in the freight traffic, but besides the loss from shipments from the small towns, there has been a correspondingly large curtailment of shipments from the jobbers to the small cities of the Northwest, for when the farmers are unable to get to town, the business of the country merchants is Email. Another cause for the light freight THE GLOBE'S r - —___ r __ _ .. . .■.- --v?^^ ... •i^'ft ■ . WMS^ Loop casjTprjzes!

The rains have delayed threshing at least ten days, and grain which should have been ship ped a week ago, is still in the shock. Thousands of cars are lying on the sidings waiting for the shipments to begin. The railroads this year provided for quick shipment by moving all the cars at their disposal into the wheat country. So far there has been but few large shipments of grain, but it is expected that next week, if the dry "waether continues, the heavy move ment will commence. A number of freight men interviewed yesterday said that the rain has caus ed at least a decrease of 30 per cent in freight shipments. One said: "The storm has caused a large decrease in business in the country towns. Of course the railroads are the first to feel the effects of poor trade by a curtail ment in shipments from the large job bing centers. It has been Impossible for farmers to get to town, on account of the heavy rains, which have made the wagon roads practically unpass able. Of course when the farmers are unable to get to market our country business comes to a standstill." FAVOR STATEHOOD BILL. Southwestern Railroads Want Territories Admitted Into Union. When the question of admitting to statehood Oklahoma and Indian territory is brought up at the next session of con gress it Is probable the larger railroad systems entering the rapidly growing the Southwest wUI exert their influence to have the territories included in the Union It is a matter of vital interest to the roads, and it is said that the officials of the Rock Island, Santa Fe, Missouri.

After the question of state- THE ST. PAUL GWBF,, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1903. hood was taken up for consideration at the last session of congress those who favored the move professed to feel certain that the next session would act favorably on it. That the railroads are taking a lively interest in the matter i 3 evidenced by the fact that President Henry C. Rouse, of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, has in cluded in his annual statement to the directors an extended reference to the statehood question. President Rouse is of the opinion that both territories will be admitted when the matter is again taken up and he assures the directors that such action would mean increased prosperity to the road. In like manner competing lines would be benefited. WILL HEAR ARGUMENTS. ! Railroad Commissioners to Meet at Crookston Sept. 29. The state railroad and warehouse com mission will hear arguments in the Tilden *'V ' case and the Dugdale depot case at Crookston, Sept. 29. The Northern Pacific and Great North ern have petitioned the commission for permission to construct a "V" track near Tilden. The depot case is in connection with the closing of the station at Dug dale. Some time ago the Great Northern abandoned the Dugdale station and open ed a depot at Albert Station, one-half mile east of the old station. Testimony will be taken and the arguments heard in both cases on the same day. SCALPERS MUST MOVE. St. Louis Will Have Law Enacted to Drive Out Ticket Brokers. Trouble is Jn store for the ticket scalp ers at St. Louis. The railroads notified the exposition officials some time ago that no reduced rates would be made to St Louis unless assured that there would be no manipulation by scalpers of the tick ets sold at special rates. Yesterday Chairman McLeod of the ;;« esie^. n passenger association, was no tified by George W. Ristine. director of transportation of the St. Louis exposition that the St. Louis .

Underwood Won't Leave Erie. ROCHESTER; N. Y.,Sept. 17—Pres ident T. D. Underwood, of the Erie railroad, today sent the following in formation by wire, addressed to all agents and employes of the road, rela tive to his rumored departure from the Erie to the presidency of the Northern Pacific railway, to supersede Charles S. Mellen: "The newspaper reports concerning my leaving the services of the Erie Railway company are wholly without foundation. It is as sure as any hu man thing can be that I am to stay on the Erie, and, backed by the loyal in telligent employes, we will together work out its salvation." The employes in general received this news with much pleasure. There is a warm feeling among the Erie em ployes for Mr. Underwood. North-Western Destroys Cars. The Chicago & North-Western has 400 freight cars of less than fifteen tons' capacity. AH are equipped with air brakes and automatic couplers, yet an order has been issued that they are to be destroyed. They have become scrap iron and bonfire rubbish. Fif teen tons is a sort of "dead line" for freight c-*rs. It costs as much to h.in dle a small car as a big one, and nearly as much to haul it on the road. Forty and fifty tnns-fthe latter a maximum for the present--are the preferred sizes. RAILROAD NOTES. Officials of the Laike Shore & Michigan Central announced .yesterday that the new freight yards at Rlkhart, Ind., and Col lirgswood, Ohio, liati been opened. The former has sixty relies of track and the latter seventy miles.. The yards are said to be the largest in,the United States and complete in every detail. Manitoba grain shippers have filed a strong protest Aitli the Canadian min ister of commerce Against the proposed advance iv storage charges by railways in Winnipeg elevators. It is charged that the advance will tend to retard shipments from Winnipeg Uyivyay of Lake Superior to Montreal. Tho annual report of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad for'the year ended June 30 shows an increase in gross earnings of $■187,223 over 1M2.-n-n increase in operat ing expenses of $fi54.250. and a balance for the year of $73,293. Gros3 earnings were $16,711,601. It is reported that the Wisconsin &.

Minn., which include an addi tion to the roundhouse, lengthening of stalls, and a new turntable, are nearing completion. The Canadian, railways have agreed to advance the freight rate on pulp wood to United Slates points one-half cent per 100 pounds, beginning on Oct. 1. No reason is given for the Increase. A. Ij.

' DEATH CALLS A CENTENARIAN Continued From First Page. marriage being one son, who was later killed in the Civil war. Becomes a Spiritualist. In January, 1852, according to an in teresting memoir left by Rev. Crapsey, a great change came into his life. In the words of the record the occurrence was as follows: "My stepdaughter, Anna Maria Frantz, was taken sick on the Bth day of January, 1852. On her deathbed she laid her hands upon my head and expressed great love for me, and then said: 'Oh, pa! Hear that! Hear the .spirits rapping!' I replied: 'Yes, I hear them!' and I laid my hands upon her head and said: '.Lord Jesus, receive her spirit,' and .while her spirit was passing from the topdy a distant shock passed through every onein the house. This was my first .personal knowledge of spirits rappirvgs^" If the subsequent events chronicled in Rev. Crapsey'a,memoir are to be credited he soon became familiar with the spirits and. performed miracles. The memoirs reipount how he prophe sied the death of his wife, which oc curred soon after, that of his step daughter; how he healed his son; how he was himself miraculously cured; how an empty canoe obeyed his com mand and came across a river to him; and how numerous "signs and won ders" were manifested about him. Civil War Foretold in a Vision. The record of the 1' Rev. Mr. Crapsey'a experiences, his ■ trials, persecutions, triumphs and his quaint manner of recording them recalls the prophets in the scriptures. One of his most notable prophesies, according to his memoir, was that in which he foretold the Civil war ten years before It occurred. Be ing a strong abolitionist, he relates how the following declaration was made at a meeting in a school house. The vis ion is thus recorded: "I had a vision and saw a great hand come down from heaven and lift up a line between the North and South, as workmen do when marking timber to hew; I saw armies contending under it, and the line was not snapped, thus giv ing me to understand that there would be a desperate struggle between the North and South, but that they should not be divided and become separate governments." After the war, during which the Rev. Mr. Crapsey traveled about the North ern states as a missionary, he removed with his family to Minnesota. He set tled in Cottonwood county on a-farm, where he remained until about ten years ago when he came to St. Paul and purchased tliel small cottage, 984 Case street, where Re died. Rev. Mr. Crapsey^was married a sec ond time, in 1853p:t0 Mrs. Laura A. Peck, who died several years ago. He is survived by twb sons and one daugh ter. The sons are4-William, of Percy, Wis., and Georgie, of Pickbush, Wls.. and daughter, Mrs. Alice Mcßaln. of Clinton, lowa, who was with him when he died. The Rev. Mr. Crapsey was, during his residence in St. Paul, connected with the Spiritualist alliance, and fre quently lectured.- He was the author of several books on> Spiritualism. Postal Clerks Adjourn.

Sept. 18. — It seems probable that but for the slow ness of the footing in the last 200 yards the champion harness horse, Dan Patch, would have succeeded In his at tempt today to lower his own record of a mile in 1:59, made at Brighton Beach a few weeks ago. Paced by one runner the quarter was made in :30, and the half In :59%. From there on he had the benefit of two runners, and reached the three quarters in 1:29%. The record then seemed to be trembling, but on getting into the stretch a heavy bit of track was experienced which tired the pacer so much that he reached the wire in 2:00 fiat. The trial was delayed until well along In the afternoon, after nearly all the events which concluded the race week of the breeders' meeting had been de cided. This was done in order to dry the track as much as possible after yesterday's rain, and also to take ad vantage of the decrease in the wind to ward nlghtfull. It was generally be lieved that had Dan Patch been fa vored with the same track conditions as those which prevailed on Monday, when Maj. Delmar made his effort at the trotting record, the pacing record would have been broken. Backers of the favorites In the regular events were again in hard luck. Grade Kellar, in the 2:17 trot, was the only one to win. Rythmic, the blind horse, in the 2:07 trot, after winning the first heat, tired badly In the home stretch of the other two and "Wentworth won easily. In this event Prince of Orange was the favorite, but never was in the contest. In the 2:09 pace, Al Bock was picked to win, but the race developed into a contest between Cubanola and Gold Brick. The former dropped the first heat, but took the next two handily. Beside the effort of Dan Patch to lower his record, three other horses, all trotters, tried for new marks. Miss Pratt, a black mare, by Heir-at-Law, was the only one to win against time. Fltz to Fight Ruhlln. LOS ANGELES, Cal..

C. at Manheim, the Englishmen were in a very favorable position. The colts, who batted first, could score only 79 runs, while the visitors when stumps were drawn for the day, had made 47 runs for the loss of two wickets. The wicket was a treacherous one and during the" earlier part of the day all In favor of the bowlers. Against such trundlers as Blythe, Mason and Bradley, the colts could do but little hitting and their wick. ets fell rapidly. Mason, who bowled elev en overs, took five wickets for seven runs. Bradley took three wickets for two runs and Blythe six for twenty-nine. For the colts, the leading scores were: W. F. Keenan, 11 and D. Graham and R. L. Pearson 9 each. For the Englishmen Burnup scored 16. Hearne 9, and Sey mour 16 not out. OASTOHIA. Been tig j? Ttw Kind You Have Always Bcigß
