\ The Aerald-Review. PITH OF THE NEWS By E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. The editor who referred to the Ten- nessee Centennial as a Tenn. Cent. show evidently thought he was smart. |. Uncle Sam’s navy chews up 150,000 pounds of plug tobacco a year,for which he pays this year thirty-two cents a pound. Grover Cleveland has declined a sal- ary of $6,000 a year for very little work. Who but Grover would do that during these depressed times. It is claimed that Greater New York will expend every year $50,000,000 in charity or $16 for every man, woman and child within its limits. It is said that the Greek private sol- dier receives only $4 a month, It will be seen at once that at chat rate Greece has had a good run for her money. A great fuss is being made because a North Carolinian has seventeen wives. Very little is said about the Shah of Persia, who has 1,723. But then that’s different. Baron Oscar Dickson, of Gothenburg, who was Nordenskjold’s backer in his several expeditions in Arctic regions, died at Hjo, Sweden, last week. Dick- son helped to equip the first of Nord- enskjold’s expeditions in 1868, and bore a large part in the expense of that of 1872. The members of the Woman’s Vege- tarian union in London have a new craze. It is for vegetarian dress. They have concluded that it is as wrong to kill animals for clothes as for food. They want vegetable boots, vegetable gloves, vegetable gowns and even vegetable note paper. They have decided that the kid, the calf and the sheep shall be spared, if their influ- ence can do it. A bronze medal, bearing the date 1386, with the likeness and superscrip- tion of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, who laid the foundation of the Duomo of Milan in that year, was recently plowed up near Owenton, Ky. So many fake archeaological discoveries of so-called pre-Columbian relics have been made of late years that students will be somewhat chary of accepting the pres- ent without a large grain of salt. Chicago has at least one judge who is just. Patrick Egan was before Judge Goggin, charged with robbery. The jury disagreed. Mrs. Egan was in court, and, being without money, had walked twelve miles to get there. Her condi- tion touched the heart of the judge, who reached into his pocket and brought forth a coin, which he placed in the poor woman’s hand as she took Patrick’s arm and walked away in peace, - ow se eme> "fi oo It is reported that Switzerland is to be the next courtry which will follow the example of Italy and Belgium of reckoning time up to twenty-four o’clock in place of twice twelve. In Belgium, where the new system was introduced on the 4th of this month, there is much growling at the change. But the principle is very simple. All that is necessary is to substract twelve from every figure higher than twelve and you have the p, m. time. Three brothers bearing a remark- able resemblance to one another are in the habit of shaving*at the same barbershop. Not long ago one of the brothers entered the shop early in the morning, and was shaved by 4 German who had been at work ir the shop only a few days. About noon another brother came in and under- went a similar operation at the hands of the same barber. In the evening the third brother made his appearance, when the German, droping his razor in astonishment, exclaimed: “Vel, up- on my vord! Dat man hash de fasht- est beard I ever saw; I shaves him dis morning, shaves him at dinner-time, and he gomes back now mit his beard so long as it never vash!” During the past ten years the south has made rapid progress in supplying iron to the trade of this country and Europe. A contemporary points out that it was only a dozen years ago that the first shipment of southern iron was made to Pennsylvania. At the time it created no small amount of surprise, for it was never believed prior to that time that the south would sell iron in the Keystone state. Statistics on this point show that ship- ments for April, this year, amounted to 101,141 tons. Of this the west took 38,207 tons, the east 29,996 tons, and Europe 32,838 tons. Shipments to Eu- repe so far this year amount to more than 100,000 tous, more than double the amount exported last year. It is ex- pected that total shipments abroad for this year will be more than twice the amount sent last year, Se A writer on Hawaii Says that on ac- quiring the island the United States “will get two of the grandest volcanoes in the world.” The inducement is strengthened by a scientific announce- ment that the heat of volcanoes can be used to generate power. In the face of the numerous pictures which represent Queen Victoria on any and every domestic occasion with her crown on it, it is rather curious tc Jearn that she has not, as a matter oj fact, worn it more than’ twenty times during her whole reign, -—- > EVENTS UF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM, 4 General Resume of the Most Im- portant News of the Week From All Parts of the Globe, Boiled and Arranged in Con- venient Form for Rapid Perusal By Busy People.

REMAIN IN PRISON PARDON FOR THE YOUNGER BROTH- ERS IS DENIED. The Board of Pardons, After Care- fully Weighing the Arguments - Presented Pro and Con, Unani- mously Denies the Application for a Pardou—Commatation of Kelli- han’s Sentence. St. Paul, July 14. — The Minucsvta board of pardons heard arguments on the petition for the pardon of the Younger brothers, serving life terms for the Northfield bank robbery, and then continued the case until 9 o’clock in the morning. The first two hours were occupied in the presentation of the claims for clemency and a 4 o'clock the representatives of the Northfield people were heard in opposition to the pardon, and they had not finished at the hour of adjournment. Both sides were suongly cham- pioned. Among those in favor of the application were every member of the board of prison managers, Warden Wolfer, State Auditor Dunn, ex-Sheriff Barton of Morristown, who had charge of the Youngers after their arrest, Thomas Loyhed of Faribault, a mem- ber of the pursuing posse, and Judge McCafferty of St. Paul, who made the chief address in their behalf. Those speaking for the Northfield community and the county of Rice in opposition to the pardon were F. W. Anderson of St. Paul, Mayor F. H. Noble, C. P. Carpenter, Prof. Goodhue and Repre- sentative D. F. Kelly of Northfield and Mayor A. D. Keyes of Faribault, Coun- ty Attorney A. L. Keyes of Rice coun- ty and W. R. Estes of Madelia. The hearing was dramatic in the ex- treme. About fifty people were crowded in the governor’s room, and an intensely interested crowd it was. Both sides were thoroughly in earnest. The warden and the members of the board of prison managers were con- vinced that the Youngers should be pardoned and that the interests of the Minnesota community and society in general would not suffer in the least by reason of it. They believed that the prisoners had earned the right to freedom, and that it was the duty of the board of pardons to give it to them, The opposition was just as firmly con- vinced that the pardon would be a grave mistake and that it would have a very pernicious effect on society and bring the law into disrepute in the state. The idea of reformation of criminals was never meant to have any application to the case of the Youngers, they averred. They had for- feited their lives to the state and it was sufficient mercy to them that they were allowed merely to live. REMAIN IN PRISON. Pardon for the Younger Brothers is Denied. ‘ St. Paul, July 15.—Cole and James Younger will remain in the state pris- on at Stillwater. The board of par- dons, after a discussion of about an hour, by a unanimous vote, denied their prayer for pardon. The members of the board at the start were not all of the same mind as to the merits of the case. Indeed, it is understood that one of the three- members contended vigorously that the pardon should be granted. This having been ascertained on the open- ing vote, the board proceeded to dis- cuss the question, the law of the case, the merits of the petitioners, the char- acter of the crime and the probable ef- fects of a pardon on the community. It was 3:30 o'clock when the board re- tired and began its discussion. An hour later it announced that it had been agreed unanimously to refuse to grant the pardon. No explanations were made as to how this decision had been reached and on what grounds it was hased. Messrs. Bronaugh and Jones, the Missouri kinsmen of the Youngers, were waiting in the governor’s outer office all the afternoon in the hope that the board would reach a decision before adjournment. Warden Wolfer left for Stillwater on the 3 o'clock train confident that there would be no par- don. Promptly on the receipt of the news the other left the capitol and fol- lowed the warden to Stillwater on the first train. Those who heard the argument of the case the past two days expressed no surprise «t the result. It was the general concensus of opinion that the petitioners for.a pardon could not hope at the best to find more than one friend on the board. Some surprise was ex- pressed, therefore, that even this one friend was lacking, and there were a great many exchanges of opinion as to how it happened. Kellihan Will Not Hang. All of the forty-eight applicants for pardons considered by the state board of pardons did not share the fate of the Younger brothers. Seven of the forty-eight that pleaded for clemency received favorable consideration. Four of these were absolute pardons. Two others received substantial commuta- tion of their sentences, and the sev- enth, Kellihan, the Sherburn bank rob- ber sentenced to die Aug. 11, will be imprisoned for life. The four men pardoned were H. H. Rose of St. Paul, sentenced for life; Henry Bedore of Wright county, R. H. W. Dwight of St. Paul and J. P. Doug- las of Minneapolis. Those that re- ceived commutation of sentence were O. D. Ellis of Jackson county and Val- entine Tuboli of St. Louis county. The remaining applications were either re- jected or their consideration postponed to the next meeting. Old Log Steal Cases. Stillwater, Minn., July 14—The ghost of one of the largest log steals ever perpetrated on the St. Croix loggers comes up in the district court to-day, when Judge Williston and jury will take up the first indictment against C. I Goodrich. This case will awaken widespread interest. Big Haul, No Clue, Drayton, N. D., July 15.—The general store of Moses & Wylie was robbed.

Cloquet, Minn., July 15. — The St. Louis river has risen considerably in the past few days, since the first relief from the terror of the situation. Last night the mill owners became so alarmed that they telegraphed Duluth tugmen to have booms in readiness to catch the logs if the great booms above here should break and the logs go down the dalles. The island and parts of the town near the river are one great lake of rushing water. ‘The river is higher than was ever known before. People are greatly excited and await with anxiety the crisis. All bridges crossing the river have been con- demne. Ail inhabitants have moved from the island to the mainland ex- cept part of the saloonkeepers, who, despite the flooded saloons, are still there. The river is a raging, destruc- tive torrent now up to the stringers of the bridges. The logs jammed four miles above here are yet held save, but if the booms break they will come down and destroy the town. The water is higher than in 1888 when 80,000,000 feet of logs were swept down from the booms here over the dalles and into Duluth harbor. The situation is very grave, though the river is expected to fall from now on. There are five great mills here and yast quantities of lum- ber in the yards DEFENDER’S DEFENSE, Another Judge Called to Try the Spicer Murder Cases. Bismarck, N. D., July 15. — Judge Winchester has granted the motion of the defense in the trial of George De- fender, the second of the prisoners ac- cused of the Spicer murders, and has called in Judge O. E. Sauter, of the Seventh judicial district, to try the case. The motion of the defense for a change of place of trial from Emmons county has not been passed on yet, Judge Winchester stating to the attor- neys for the defense that he would leave the matter of change of venue to the judge who has been called in to preside. It is probable that the case Will be removed, as the statute is plain on this matter and states that a change of venue must be granted upon the presentation of such affidavits as have been presented by the defense. The people of Emmons county are much opposed to a change of venue, and say that as the murder occurred in the county and it has to bear the ex- pense of the trials, they should be held there. ‘There are those who say that the prisoners cannot be taken from the county, but it is not believed any trouble will ensue over the matter Lowever it is decided. GREAT BRIDGE OPENED. Big Viaduct Connecting Duluth and Superior. Duluth, Minn., July 15. — The big steel bridge uniting Superior and Du- luth was opened for traffic with appro- priate ceremonies. These included se- lections by bands of both cities, an in- vocation by Rev. C. C. Salter, ad- dresses by Mayor Starkweather of Su- perior and Mayor Truelsen of Duluth, remarks by James Bardon and Heber McHugh of Superior, and E. C. Gridley and A. A. Harris of Duluth. Naturally there was a good deal of red fire and “manifest destiny’ by speakers on both sides. There were thousands of spectators. The draw is 491 feet loug and weighs 2,200 tons; total length of bridge is 1,694 feet between approaches. A clear waterway of 200 feet is opened on either side of the draw pier when the span is swung. Tugs and small vessels pass under without swinging the draw. Electricity is the power used in swinging the span, which makes the turn in twenty seconds, ‘The structure is fifty-eight feet wide, arranged for two railway tracks, be- sides two street railway, two wagon and two foot passageways, and it cost about $1,000,000, EVERYTHING GONE.

Clearwater, Minn., July 15—The mill dam went out here, taking all bridges on the Clearwater river as well as Quinn’s saloon, the ferry boat and the cable ferry. Loss between $6,000 and $10,000. The railroad bridge is halt gone. The grist mill is thought to be in danger. Killed by a Runaway. Victory, Wis., July 15. — Herman Veglin, a farmer living near here, was instantly killed while returning from La Crosse. The*team became fright- ened and ran away, throwing Mr. Veg- lin out of the buggy. His head struck a stump, killing him instantly. Mrs. Veglin escaped with only a broken arm. The same team killed Veglin’s hired man two years ago by running away over the same ground. Where Is Lombard? Turtle Lake, Wis., July 15. — The maysterious disappearance of George D. Lombard, ex-sheriff of Polk county, is creating quite a lot of excitement here. Mr. Lombard has been quite prominent in politics for the past few years. He is said to have had a large amount of money on his person prior to his disappearance, and his friends fear he was foully dealt with. A Farmer Kills Himself, Alden, Minn., July 14.—L. P. Hanson committed suicide at his home, six miles southwest of here. He was well-to-do er) unmarrie?. Sickness was the cause.

Milwaukee, July 15.—A joint meeting of the three lodges of the Amalgama- ted Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers was held and addressed by President G. Garland and Vice Presi- dent J. D. Hickey, of the association. The situation for the men seems as unpromising now as it was two weeks ago when the mills closed down. The speakers advised the men to stand firm in their refusal to go to work in | the new reducing mill unless the Ili- ; nois Steel company signed the scale as __ made up at the Detroit meeting, _ —— NOW READY TO ACCEPT THE DE~y wt The Foreign Minister Notifies the - Ambassadors of the Sultan’s Will- MANDS OF THE POWERS. ingness to Accept Their Views on - the Peace Conditions—The Czar’s Hand Seen in This Sudden De- cision. Constantinople, July 17. — ‘TPewils Pasha, the foreign minister, informed the ambassadors that the sultan had agreed on a principle of the demands - of the powers and was prepared to ac- cept their views on the peace eondi- tions, It remains to be seen at to-day’s conference between Tewfik Pasha and the ambassadors what the acceptance amounts to. As the grand vizier is known to oppose the acceptance of the terms of the powers and has not yet resigned, it is believed that a fur- ther hitch will be discovered, although it is reported that the sultan’s sudden determination is due to the receipt of another peremptory telegram from the czar. It May Be Prexy Cleveland. Washington, July 17.—It is reported that ex-President Cleveland will in No- vember be formally tendered the of- fice of president of the University of Virginia.
