¢ THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1872. 3 k3 -~ INSURANCE. A Talk with 2 Gereral.Azent on the Bubject of Increasing (s Rates, A Stampede of Stockholders Apprehended. g The Recent Council of the Under- .- Wwriters at New York. Mr. B. L. French, General Agent for the Ori- ent Insurance Compary, is a gentleman whoso theories concérning insurance matters havelong . been . held in high esteem. Hearing that Alr. French had some original idess concerning the xecent action. of the Boad of Underwriters in Kew York, & TRIBUNE reporter called upon him yesterday afternoon, and obtained from him the following : N Reporter—Mr. French, what is your opinion * concerning the recent sction of the Board of Tnderwriters in New York ? Mr. French—TI think it eminently proper; and 1 will tell you why. That s serious _erisia in in- surance affairs is impending and imininent, thiere can be little doubt, and I think the system &s hitherto prsued in this country is in danger of a fatal collapse. Reporter—What are your reasons for think- ing this ? Mr. French—I have tho best of ressons. In the first place, insurance hat ceased to make any return commensurate with the money in- vested and the Jabor bestowed upon it. It is well known that, in the ecity of Hertford slone, there are about 10,000,000 tied up in the fire insurance business, the owners of which vast sum have nct received a profit of 2 quarter per cent in return for its use, for some fifteen months past, or since before the fire in this city, and since the Boston fire thero is little prospect for any return thereon for 88 many months to come; and, in- deed, of those who bave put their ven- tures in these unpromising bottoms, not a few will be compelled to advance still more money to save the credit of the company, for if they let that go down then all their previous outlays will be lost, and their company slide into the hope- Tess vortex of bankruptcy. Beporter—But, Mr. French, what do you velieve will be the result of these things ? _ Mr. French—The result will be; simply, that insurance companies will withdraw from busi- ness, or reform the present system. Had a citizen of Chicago money in such a non-paying enterprise, who does not know what he would do,—2s. soon a8 ‘possible? He would piibdy s o oges from ihat basket very speodily, and *‘set” them whero Lio might confidently count ona few chickens by and by, if not speedily. And the insurance men «of Hartford are to-day resolving just that prob- dem in their own minds, They discover that the vestment which pays 8o well in ordinary times is basedupon apoor system to protect them from the severer risks to which they are sub- joct; and many of these men, believing that no safe system of insurance can'ba devised where- by they may be protected from these fires, are Jooking about them to see where theycan invest their money, 50 that it bring them profit, with- out their being subject to such great risks. Reporter—But whero do these gentlemen pro- pose to invest their-money? 2. French—There are many openings for it, and openings, too, which will not swallow if, Cotton, woollen, and iron manufactories are all gronnd them, and dividends are frequent and enerous, snd the tendency is strong, stronger 5:3.: is believed, toward a division of the mill- ions now devoted to underwriting, to avocations less hazardous and perplexing. This stampede ‘once well begun, what would be the result? Why, just this: the large amount of insurance stock then on the market would, of course, greatly depreciate in value. Speculative purchasers ‘would not bethe men wsg:g assessments thereon, and the comprnies needing these assessments * would necesserily go out of business. Reporter—This, then, would leave us without any financial protection against fire ? Mr. Frenchi—Not quite; but the seeming pro- tection we would have would be worse thun zn entire. sbeence of insurance companies. You see if this state of things should come to pass— and it surely will if some remedy is not devised— no farther inducements_to put bona fide cash into such & calling would exist, and the business public would so far be left to sesk protection against loss by fire, zmong the corfidence men and sharks who are always hanging upon the flanks of society, ready to give aid to the nnsus- pecting who aré Willing to accept any assistance ‘proffered. . Reporter—But, Mr. French, what hes this to do with the meeting of the Board of Under- writers in New York ? Mr. French—I will tell yoi. It is to just precisely this emergency that the Underwriters Tecently in council propose to apply a_remeds, ‘andthe only remedy that will meet the case. “Thig business of insurance must pay its own .expenses, despite these grest fires, or it must ,«cense to be carried on by those engaged in it. “Thet is the first proposition this Board had to -cogsider, and since security againsi loss by fire s s.commercial necessity, that society cannot Tvery well dispense with, it onght to accapt with- «out & murmur the results of this wise Board. .. Beporter—Will you state, Mr, French, some «of the 1Pmpueiziuns of this Board ? - Mr. French—The question they propose is 4his: Ts it desirable to save the present plan of underwriting, by adapting rates to risks in- _cumed, and s fair return for the capital and “1abor employed ? % _ Reporter—But are not the present rates suffi- ciently high? Mr. French—No, sir; if they were, compenics -would not-be broken by any fire, for. they are al- weyB subjoct to fires as large’ as our own or the one at DBoston. Pres- en; rates only pay with _ordigary fires, but with extraordinary fires it is evident that & revulsion comes—and it lasts. I tell you that to talk about lees rates of insurance now is monsense. The man who would chezpen tho rosent ratcs will pay dear for his success,—if he ve any,—when, in some big fire, in'which he 15 burned ont, his companies fail. The ‘Reporter thanked Mr, French for his views, and withdrew. Bret IXarte and Redpath. = Bret Harte writes as follows to the Boston Ad- certiser: For the last two years Messrs. Redpath & Fall, of the Lyccum Bureau, have repeatedly solicited mii\ ?;; nfifex the lel:tm'eflfi5:1&1&.1.7:“.]&1't tlhe'tl' auspices, I finally acceded, and in August las Snan intemawtg{th Mr. Bedpath, stated very Clearly the conditions under which I would Jecture. On the 1st of November I received from them a list of engegements whose condi- tions were totally at variance with those I had named. Iat onceinformed them by lotter that T would not accept them, and reiterated my Former demsnd. To this I received no reply, Dut on the 9th of November, four days before the Ante of my Boston engagement, not wishing to Rieappoint a gathered sudience pending these ,.;,5’5 rivate and personsl negotiations, I tele- gnpfi_eg to Messrs. Redpath & Fall that they &8t postpone that date, They replied by te graph the samo day that it was impossible, add- {0 that Hartford (my first engagement) would socept my conditions. I at once wrote to them that until aZl my enagements were made equally gatisfactory, they must postpone or cancel both, wnd that I would not permit Hartford to.be forced, at the last moment, into_sccepting con- ditions of which they had ‘not been previonsly awere. To this I added that the Boston fire, then burning, was a sufficient excuse_for post- ponement—an excuse that afterward, in the case Bf two distinguished lecturers, was considered valid and not particularly “ insulting” to & Bos- .ton audience. With o perfect understanding of these details, -2nd with my letter in his pocket, 3fr. James Red- ‘path Toso before an saudience which he had per- ‘mi'ted to gather to hear aman whom he knew would beabeent, charged mewith insulting them, deprecisted the wares he had asked permission :o peddle exclusively—all in all the most extraor- : m-égerinrmlpefl, 1 trust, ever given before o New England Iséenm. I have only to 2dd that it is still my intention \to lecture before a Boston audience, but not for _Mr. Redpath, nor of him. Bner HartE, —_— Death from Fright. . From the Lancaster (Pa.) Exprese.

The Committee of Twenty, appointed by the citizens in July last, to investigate the feasabili- ty of the different plans suggested for furnish- ing the town with -water, met on Monday night in the Town Hall Mesars. E. Gage, Merril L2dd, L B. Hitt, Chas. J. Gilbert, E.S. Taylor, E. G. Hook, 0. R. Paul, John M. Dandy, A. L. Sowall, and others were present. Mr. Charles Randolph was elected Chairman, and Mr. Isaac R. Hitt, Secretary, The Sub-Committeo, to whom this water question was referred, reported as follows ¢ GENTLEMEN: Your Committec, sffer a long and studied investigation, would report 8s follows: lat— That Evanston is ssdly in need of some system of wator-works, both for supplying the people generally with water for domestic purposes, and for the purpese of extinguishing fires, 2d—That the town, in its cor- porate_capacity, has neither the power or ability to erect tho water-works, 3d—That the system generally known 25 the Holly system 38 the best, as & rule, for any town or city, with s population of less than 50,000 inhabitants. 4th—That the cost of the building for tho water works, including 0303 {hat the running cost per annum would be £5,000 3 that'iron pipe lsid with 50 hydrants would cost £68,000 Sinking woll on Jsko shoro §3,6003 the entiro works in Tunning order would cost not less than $30,000. Your Committee find the number of houses to be 539, Al- lowing that one-half of these houses would take water, tS11 per house, it would amount to $2,000. Other ses would swall the amount to $7,031 ; making total annual income less than 10 por cent upon the entire cost, The annual expenso for running and repairs Would be. $5,000, lesving & dividend or bal- ance, to apply un interest of §75,000, of $2,031, Notwithstanding this poor ehowing, your Committee, feelingloncouraged that any deficit would be made up by individual donutions, and kmowing the necessity of prompt_action in th matter, and fecling that this ac- tion would mest with prompf response from the town suthorities, as well as from the Trustees of the North- western University, they forwarded to the Secrotary of State, on the 11th " July, their certificate of association, -s8 required by law, and the Commissioners therein named, viz.: Messrs, Powers, White, Kedzie, Greenleaf, Gilbert, Ledd, and Hittmet on the eveningof tha 15th iné,, for the purpose of completing the organizs tion, and’ opening the subscription of stock, to the smount of $75,000. At that meeting they passed a Tesolution, that after the full amount of stock was sub- seribod, that 50 per cent of the samo should bo called in, and that the compsny should issue @ limited smount of 8 per cent bonds, fouse in the psyment of pipe and machinery. At best thero would be & deficit of some $5,000 to $6,000, sfter tho compaoy hnd paid 8 per cont Intorest o their bonds; 6 per cent upon the actual amount of money paidin on stock subseriptions, and the care of running the works and repsirs. Messrs. Greenleaf &nd Hitt were sppointed & Committeo to walt upon the Executive Committeo of the Trustees of the North- ‘western University to Isy before them the plans ; to make statement of the facts, and golicit tho Univer- sity to assist in up 'this deficit, and to sub- scribe to the stock of the company. Isaao R, Hrrr, Secretary. EUPPLEMENTAL BEPORT, Within the last six months your Sub-Committee have carried on_correspondence with three different houces, representing different syatems of water works, They have also corresponded for some time with ~arious houses manufacturing water pipe, They have also had some limited correspondence with a number of officialsin different fowns and cities, where the Holly system of water works has been adopted, call- ing forth the merits and demerits of different classes of machinery and of pipe, The Committee sppointed to wait on the Trustecs of the Northwestern Univer- sity did o in September. On s full etatement of the case, the_said Trustees appointed Messrs, Orrington ZLuntand Dr. E. O. Haven to cxamine into the merits of the cose and report, Dr, Haven soom after resigned his position, which connected him with tho Board of Trustees of the Univemsity, and there hos been Do general meeting of tho Board since that day. Your Committee, in their inferview _with the Executive Committeo’of the Board of Trustees, discovered that the Board _seriously doubted "ot oniy the propriety, but their right, as Trustees, to subscribe or take siock in any enterprise, The necessity of the water works was acknowledge and in the course of debate on that eubject it was wai they would be willing to pay Liberally for the use of water, towards making up any deficit in the plan pro- posed, _Since that time 3 new section of large territo- Ty has been added to the town, and. the village has re- orgsnized under the late Incorporation law, The au- thority conferred by law upon the Trusteesia now suf- ficlent to justify the attempt to build the water works at the public expense ; and public sentiment seems to favor the plan. Whilé the property tax would be in- creased, the tax-payer would be more than compen- eated by the increase in value of his property; in the guarantee of its safety from fira; in Iessening of the cost of insurance; in lessening the coet of water; and in the additional comforts of home, Tour Committes would further suggest that the cost of the bydrants and of the pipe,and laying of the same, could be raised by special assessment upon property benefited, whils the buildings and ‘machinery of the water works could be built by divid- ing the cost of the two, and raising one-half by gen- eral tax on the tsY warrant of 1873, and the other half {rom the eale of twenty-vear bonds. Supposing the ‘entire cost of the water works to reach $80,000. Of this sum pipes and_hydrants fo . cost’ $50,000. This would leave for building and machinery §30,000. The 350,000 raised by special assessment would sttach 1o University property alike with other property specislly benefited, and to this the Trustees of tho University would interpose no objection, This will leave £15,000 to be raised on the general tax of 1873, aud £15,000 to be raised from the sale of bonds, This xe{art was accepted, and the Committee continue A rambling discussion followed on sewerage, 2nd the most advisable manner of raising the necessary funds for the works, Charles J, Gilbert moved that Mr. E. 8. Taylor bo added to the Sub-Committee, and the Commit- tee tcunfeénmth the Tm} Tt{]\mteeu at their next meeting ; aftyr whi e meeting nd- journed. William H. Seward’s Will, The following is & cmol the last will and testament of the late William H. Beward, made from the original. The will is in the hand- writing of the teatator. He signed, folded, and ylaced it in an envelope, and wrote his name cn tho envelope, and nover signed his name after that. The witess, W. L.

SANITARY MATTERS. Dr, Rauch on Mortality Gener:lly, the Smell-Pox, and the Eorse Disease. Condition of the Slaughter Honses— The Necessity of Vaccination. A regular meeting of the Board of Health was held yosterday afternoon, President Hoard in the chair. Present, Drs. Johnson, Schloetzer, and Rauch, and Mr. Reynolds. Tho weokly mor- tality report of the Sanitary Superintendent was submitted, showing that 145 deaths and ‘17 still-births occurred during the week end- ing Nov. 23. Of these, 20 were of. conval- sions, 7 of croup, 8 of typhoid fever, 5 of meningitis, 10 of pneumonia, and 14 of small- pox. There was a deorease of two from the pre- ceding weok. The largest mortality, 26 deaths, occurred in the Fifteenth Ward. The Sanitary Superintendont remarks that the increase-of doaths by accidental causes is, to s great extent, owing to the resumption of work and traffic in- cident to the recovery of the horses. The mean temperature was 11 degrees loss than last week. Typhoid fover is still decreasing, the number of deaths boing.less than for the same period dur- ing the past four months. EMALL-POX. ‘Houses infected by small-pox wero reported to the pumber of 25, an increase of 1 over last week. Nearly oll the cages reported are in the northwestern part of the city,and almost entire- ly among the foreign population. So far the digease has been kept in check, the number of cases reported being less than four weeks ago. Almost daily cases come or are brought to the office, and, in spite of everything that can ‘bo done, individuals are exposed to the contagion. During the past weck two patients escaped from their houses, and some time elapsed before they were recaptured. There is no safoty for anyone unless he has been recently vaccinated or reyac- cinated. Occasionally, contrary to _ordera given, the remains of persons who died of small- ox are taken into churches for the purpose of olding religions ceremonics. This custom doubtless leads to the spread of the contagion, and should be prohibited by order of the Board. Another fruitfnl sourceof contagion is the crowded condition of the houses occupied by the poorer classes. Chicago had 14 deaths this ‘weck, while St. Louis had 139. Two suits have been bronght sgainst undertakers for burying cases of small-pox without the usual permit, and other suits have been brought for neglect to report. y THE HOBSE DISEASE. About nine-tenths of the horses have recov- ered, and are fit for duty. Thero were.received at the platform of the Union Rendering Com- pany dead horses during the week ending Nov. 25, as follows : Tuesday, 33 ; Wednesdsy, 85; Thursdey, 80 ; Friday, 31; Saturdsy, 33; Sun- Qay, 15 ; Monday, Si—total, 210, which is a de- crésse of 70 compared with last week. The number reported yostorday g.‘nesdny was lesa than for any day for noarly three weoke. THE HEALTH OFFICER reported that 145 notices wore served, and 229 nuisances abated during the week, and 21 quar- ters of besf were condemned. The slaugbter- houses are in better condition, tho offal which accumulated during the prevalence of the horse disease_having been all removed. Several firms who formerly buried their offal within the city limits_have found an outlet by rail-cars to tho Fertilizing Company in Calumet. Reid & Sherwin continue to bury theirs south of Twen- ty-seventh street. The distillery stables have, for tho most part, sncceeded in cleaning up their stables, At Dickinson & Leach's, & great deal of liquid manure continues to escape into the slongh in the rear of their premises. This mat- ter was referred_to the Health Officer and Sani- tary Superintendent, with authority to take such measures as they may deem proper. ‘VACCINATION. 5 =2 Dr. Johnson submitted the following resolu- tions, which were adopted : In view of the fact that small-pox, in all citles, is Iikely to prevail during the winter months, Resolved, That this Board of Health carpestly recom- ‘mend that every person unvaccinated, whether child or adult, be immediately vaccinated ; and that all persons that have not been auccasefully vaccinated within the 1sst three yeara be revaccinated. Resolred, That, in the opinion of this Board, our comparative escape during the last year from the fear- ful cpidemic of smcl-pox that was go terribly ravaged our aister cities, hias been duo o the encrgetis efforts of tho Sanitary Superintendent, snd others in suthori- £y, to enforce the practice of vaccination, and that we can expact a continusnce of this immunity only by a continuance of {he same measures—namely, thorough vaceination and revaccination, Resolred, That this Boara sppeal to our citizens everywhere to aid the suthorities in the accomplish- ‘ment of this end, and that the dispensaries and medi- cal officers of the Relief and Aid Society be requested to co-operate in this work without cost to the indi- vidual. ‘The Board then adjourned. THE WESTERN BLOCKADE. Return of the Relief Train—Incidents oi the Great Storm—A Terrible Time witix the Snow Drifts. g Fromthe Winona (ifinn,) Republican, Nov, 23. Superintendent Stewart arrived in this, city about 7 o'lock, on Fridsy evening, With the Te- lief train, which had been sent to raise the enow blockade at the western end of the Winona & St. Peter Railroad. The Superintendent describes the storm and the fight with the snow drifts as one of the most. terrible experiences that hohas ever heard of in the history of railroading in this country. The wind blew a perfect gale, and drifted the snow in such blinding masses into the cuts that at times it was absolutely impossible for thzrxtnen to seo each other when ouly two feet apart. pAfler mskinfi_‘two or three sallies out from New Ulm on Fridayand Saturday of last week, Mr. Stewart concluded to layin for & regular siege, and go prepared to stay until they got throngh to tho reliofof tho engines sad tho taon, cCor a large supply of proyisions waslai inat Newg tv]'lm %“iflfl%fl i\mgred dollars’ worth of beef, pork, flour, and other eatables were laid in; a box car was rigged up with two cook stoves ; five cooks were engaged to run the kitchen, ant they were kept busy, day and night, baking bread, and preparing provisions for the army of shovelers and railroad men on the reliof train, Conductor Palmatier was appointed Quartermas- tor, and had a heavy contract on his hands, but everybody was fed. s Everything being in readiness the relief train started on its errand of mercy for western drifts headed by the formidsble snow-plow. They ‘made good progress until they strack one heavy cut, twenty-three hundred feet in length, on Tucsday. The shovelers were almost exhausted with the tiresome work, Night and day they. had kept it up, and they were well nigh discour- aged, and would have abandoned the work had not the Superintendent implored them to keop working for the sake of tho men at the western end. Ve must gt help to thoso men,” ho said, “Well, d—n it.” said ome of the shovelers, striking his shovel into tho ' drift, “if they want wus to hel ‘em why don't they come down and help us?”. gfil‘ the force battled with the snow, which filled in almost as fast as it was shovelled out. Atlength, through the howling of the storm came the shrill whistle of 4 locomotive from the other side of the drift, announcing that John Gallagher with & large force was ab work on the other side. ‘The whistle inspired the men to fresh efforts, and before many hours the immense drift yielded to the combined forces, and the two par- ties shook hands heartily across the snmowy ARRIVAL AT MARSHALL, On Wednesday the relief train got into Mar- ghall, A more joyous set of people could not be imagined than the distressed families of the -layers and graders as they . rushed to welcome the train. were anxious to gecure passage out of the coun- ,. and they flocked around Buperin- .tendent Stewart, bufigmg that they -might be-al- lowed even the cold privilege of throwing the iron off the flat cars and riding in on them, bat this cold ride was mot to be thought of. Mr. Stowart assured them that he would take all that wanted to go, and preparations were at once started for the home trip. = : APPEARANCE OF MARSHALL. . The condition of affaira 2t Marshall when the 4rain arrived there was ona that will not soon be forgotten by those who looked upon the frontier town. The gale had levelled tho new building nearly enclosed for a church and echool house, andhad also blown down a large warehouso, Fhich had but recently been put up, and was no yet finished. i R The graders and tracklayers came flocking in from the west as though they were perfectly penic-stricken by the storm. Arriving iu Mar- shall they pitched their listls tents to the lee- ward of bomeos, DRIDS, Or wherover a foot of grounu could be found sheitered from the pierc- ing wind. Of course such an avalanche of people wes more than the accommodstions of .the place were calculated for, and the eating and lodging laces were streined to the ubtmost. At the otel they fed 250 people aba mesl, and atill they came. The town was lively with the mul- titude, who wero scattered over the place in small shelter tents, * prairie schooners,” and hastily-constructed shenties. Some of the peopl, it is sid, came across the prairies from the Northern Pacific Road, s dis- §i'n:°§ of 120 miles, to strike the St. Peter 0: . As the camps of tracllayers and graders came in they told various stories of their experience during the storn. Engineor Kimball and his Jasty of eurvoyors were caught out beyond the State line in Dako- ta. He came in asfar 23 Waseca with the.relief train. Thoy left the front on Monday. There had been no deaths then from the cold, and he thought most of the camps: were bresking up and coming in. s 3 z ‘Watson’s bridge-builders and Peter Brennan's tracklayers wero still at the west. . Tt was reported that s man named. Chappel, one of Watson’s force, was frozen to'death, and ‘i is belioved that OneOriwo other men have perished from exposure. - Ona man reported that he was in_camp with sixteen others when the- storm overtook them. Their provisions gave out, and for two days the entire party lived ona skunk which they had succeded in killing. Ho thinks it's worse than “crow.”. John Mosher winds, up: the story by saying they had & fight over its tail. * A man named Chapman staried witha four- horse toam from the end of the track to get into Marshall, but the snow blinded the horses so complétely that ho was unable to manage them, and was obliged to cut the leaders loose and let them go. - They were subsoquently found frozon to death. With the other two horses he pushed on till he got mired in n slough, 8till he worked on glerasvaringly, and succeoded in getting one of the horses out, but the other was fast in the mud and snow. Thehowling storm warned Chap- 'man that he must hasten on. Reluctantly he gavo up his efforts, and left the poor animal to ie, while he pursued his journey with his last “horse. He had not gone far, howavor, beforeho was surprised and rejoiced to see the horse that he had left come galloping on after them, having relieved himsolf from his perilous posi- tion, and faithfully followed his mate and master. Chadymnu reacked Marshall at last, in safety, glad to have got through with his life. The suffering of the people at the western end is easily oxplained when the situation is once understood. They were living in tents and temporary fhunties, which had to be moved from fime to time, as the road pro- rossed westwardly. It was expected that the work would be finished in a few wecks, and therefore no permanent winter quar- tors woro provided, and no moro provi- sions were laid in than were necesrary for the wants of the men for a fow days timb. The con- structions trains wero coming up_every day and supplies were brought by them. 1ho sudden and severe storm coming 80 early surprisod them in this situation, and compelled most of them to boat a hasty.retreat to the settlements. It is difficult as yet to arrive at _any accurate statoments in regnrd to the suffering, but itis believed there havo been comparatively few deaths from exposure, while none are as yeb Imown from starvation. © One woman and her two children were found by the men of the relief train lying in the snow in & semi-conscious condition, They were taken ‘aboard the train, and revived on recéiving proper caro and comfortable quarters. After the rolief train arrived in Marshall, Col- onel DeGraff decided fo push on to the end of the track. In company with a force of mon and three locomotives thoy ‘started out, but, when only soven miles from Marshall, the two hind engines_jumped the track just as they had emerged from & drifted cut ugon a pile bridge fifteen feet high. Two of the engines went plunging to the ground and wers smashed into & total wreck. Thoe other was merely pulled off the track, but did not go off the bridge. How the engineers ard firemen escaped with- out getting killed is & mystery, but aside from the fractured leg of Albert Kluge, there were no sarious injuries, At the time of the disaster there happened to be & team passing toward Marshall. One of DéGraft’s men, Ga:fige Case, without stopping to ascertain the full extent of the accident, Lum{ed on one of those horses and spurred in ot haste to Marshall, arriving just in time to seo Superintendont Stewart, who was sbout starting for home with the relief train. The business car was at once sent to the wreck, and brought in the wounded and other men on the train. Meanwhile the snow-plow had received orders to start back and weit at Plum Creek until the other sections of the relief train came up. The accident detained them several hours, and when they finally got under way they found the cuts again fillad where the snow-plow had passed. ere was another fight with the snow-drifts, and it was s terrible night of hard work. The en- gines got fast in tho drifts, and all but one gave Sat.” 7 that should fail, the whole party would ‘o obliged to “foot it" across the comntry to Redwood Falls, The efforts of all the engineers ere directed to keeping alive this one locomo- | tivo. Blankets were burned to keep the pipes from freezing up, and snow was melted on the small cook-stove in the business-car, to keep the pump going. At last, when hope was well nigh gone, and men wore almost worn out. with fa- tigue, the shovels succeeded in breaking the drift sufficiently to give the engine another chance, and this time the drift was passed. ‘The hard work of that night will never be for- gotten by the men who wokg;rrt in its porils. The force of carpenters under Mr. Doig attack- ed the two flat cars loaded with Wwood and_eawed it up with handsaws for the engines whila the train was whizzing along between drifts, and the wind-blowing such a gale that the men had to keep hold of stakes to prevent being blown from the car. Superintendent Stewart speaks in the highest torms of tho faith{ulness with which every man connected with the railroad stood to his post and nobly did his dn%. Amang the many incidents thet the event will always recall, the fidelity of o mon in bis employ will bo among the fore- most. ° i ‘Mr. Eronde to His Assailants. The following are the remarks with which Mr. James Anthony Froude began his third lecture in Boaton the other evening * “Ladies and Gentlemen: I feel it my duty, in view of the manner in which my lectures have ‘been received in this country, to’ sy a word. to you who honor me with your presence atmy lec- tures'in‘defence of myself and my books, which Iam pleased to learn have had & somewhat ex- | tensive sale in this conntry. I am accused of bad faith ' in mi treatment of histori- cal documents, and it has been charged against me that I am not to be trusted, and that I'am & dishonorable man. It is impossible for Tma to reply in detail to the charges of inaccuracy ‘which have been made sgainst me, and I have heretofore determined to answer my assailants in the following manner: It is & challenge 6x- sctly similar to that sont by me to the Safurday Review some tima since, in answer to some criti-- ciam which had been made against me. Letmy accusers select any number of pages from any of my historical works, one, two, three, or four hundred pages, 2s they miy ploase, and submit them to the keeper of the records in England, with whom sll historical documents are deposited. Lot them then ap- point & commission to exsmine and compare my orks with these documents, and in case theiT charges can bemade gaod, I forever after tohold my peace, and accept the dishonored position to which they would now consignme, If they do not make good their charges, thoy to mske me o public apology, retracting what they have eaid Bgainst me ; the exponses of this commission to bo borne by me. Assa writer who hag done his best to tell the truth, I think it simple justice that this challenge should settls the question of the accuracy of my writings.” —_— A Man with 2 Duplicated Eyebrows= Queer Amputation. ! From the Des3loines (Iowa) Reminter. Tor some time past Mr. John Rafferty, one of the.most responsible and_ekilful engincers on the Rocl-Teland Railroad, has been seriously in- convenienced by what many considered s tumor over one of his eyes, He was treated for a tumor, nad one operator mado & local application and whrrented a curo, Bt for all, the difficulty was not removed.and the pain becameo_intenes. Sundey afternoon Drs. Grimes and Ulvich made sn examination of the case and found enother eyebrow growing undernesth - the true eyebrow. The hair on the duplicate was nearly as long and thick as on the original. - The physicians cut out the extra; member, concluding that two eyo- brows_wers enough for ono man. We are in- formed that the case is without a parallel in medi- cal history. i St ot e S ey Chinese Marriage. In St. Louis, & few days 8go, two natives of the Flowery Kingdom appeared st Justice Wal- ther’s office, accompanied by two busom lassies from the Emerald Iele, to whom ‘they were mar- xied, sccording to the laws of Missouri. The names of the partios aro thus registered on the Squire’s minute book: Dr. Ah Foon, of Canton, Ohins, to Miss Ann . Rusk, of Tipperary, Ire- land, snd Joe Sin, of Shanghai, to Davis, also'of Ircland. “The Doctor was well éducated,” wrote an elegant hand, and was dressed in a fine suit of broadeloth that would have been becom- ing to the make-up of stylish * Melican man.” Ho conversed in English, and understood the business of marrying., Joe Sin wore & tail, snd his_outfit savored more of the chop-stick style. He was quito swhward, but nevertheless seemed to take to wedded life. quite naturally. The bridal party walked away in o state of bliss- | ol expectation. No cards. SPECIAL NOTICES.
