Cuicaco, Jun. 32.—The agonized cries of four young men who after dark found them- selves slowly floating out into Lake Michi- gau on a huge cake of ice brought scores of peopleto the piers at Thirty-seventh street to-pight. The four young fellows, Peter Paulson, Thomas Ash, James Johnston and J.'M. Whiteside, had been out for a holiday frolic on theice. Not till 7 o'clock on their return did they suspect that the thaw had parted the ice from the shore and the mass was breakiug Up and drifting away. A sheet of water fifty feet wide lay between thenr and land, and the gap was gradually widen- ing undor the uence of the wind that begun to cover them with spray, while the rising waves dashed off great sections of the ico floe upon which the lives of the quartette dopended. For over an hour the men, women and children on shore watched helplessly the four running frantically about on the ice und faintly heard their hoarse shouts for ussistance. Whiteside, who was unable to swim, restrained his companions with difticulty from jumping into the freezing flood, and attewpting to swim ashore. When finally a boat bad been brought from the near point, a long distance up town, it was found to be leaking badly and the police who manned it had to put back. By this time Whiteside was nearly erazed from cold and fright and the others were in little better condition. The police, not without peril to themselves, managed, however, to take them off safely at last. They were at once carried to their homes and put to bed, exhausted but supremely happy. - Alleged Corruption in Manitoba.

The Northern Pacific and Other Roads Making Extensive Preparati to Invade the Rich Terri- tory of the Northwest. A Triangular Contest. St Pavi, Minn., Jau. 20.—[Correspond ence of the Bee.]—Present indications are that next season will witness an enormous amount of raitroad building in the northwest, and this, too, in retaliation for encroachment of territory during 1887 Kor several years before the past season there had been com parative harmony between the Northern Pa- cific and Manltoba companios, both living np to their old agreement by which neither was to build into the other's territory. This truce had been in existence since the plan of the Canadian Pacific, or_rathor of the syndicate formed to build the wesforn end of that road, of a-line running southwesterly from the main line west of Winmipeg through Great Walls to Helena, was abandoned about five years ago. In return for this concession the Northern Pacific at that time abandoned its plan to secure a line to Winnipeg for which it had arrangements all made. The syndicate was composed of J. J. Hill, Sir George Stephen, Donald A. Smith and two or three others, then owning the Mani- toba road. From the time that this agree- ment was made the great wheat producing Red River valley has been considered the es- pecial territory of the: Manitoba which kept out the mining country of the mountainous district in Montana. Thus the Northern Pa- cific had o monopoly on'the live stock busi- ness of Montana and only the Union Pacitic to compete with in the mining country, while the farmers of the Red River valley were obliged to ship their wheat over the Manitoba of which they constantly complained as a grinding monopoly. But now everything is changed. Last yeur Mr. Hill buiit a line to Helena and this secms to have been tho opening wedge of a triangular warfare to be carried on by pre- datory excursions into the enemy’s territory No sooner had Mr, Iill announced plan to build to Helena, which whs done in 1856, than the Northern Pacific took up the gaunt- let thus thrown down and the Duluth & Man- itoba to the boundary is the result thus far. The Manitoba runs into Helena over the same route from Great Falls, which was or- iginally proposed but abandoned by agree- ment. o likowise the Northern Pucific will reach Winnipeg eventually over practically the same route that was before contemplated, But this is notall. The Manitoba has planned t0 build brauches in the mining country and is even now gathering information of the extreme northwest, with the intention of building to Puget Sound. The cost of build- ing railroads in mining country is not less than 40,000 per mile, and the Manitoba lines in the Rod river valley already encumb- ered to this amount. But it costs abou 85,000 per mile to build in the Red river val- ley prairies, and here it is that the Northern Pacific has planned to stab its would-be val in the far northwest. After the Duluth Manitoba was opened last fall, and without ny cut rates, it hauled nearly 'one hundred cars of wheat per day out of ‘the abundant harvest that had before that time been the exclusive business of the Manitoba road, Of course a part of this was given the new road on account of the independent way n which the farmers had always been treated by the Manitoba, It has always been the prominent feature of Mr. Hill's management to do as he liked without regard to the interests of the people. Hence he has sequired the reputa- tion of & man bound to have his own way whether it coincided with the ideas of his im- mediate advisors or not. As long as he had the only road in_ his ter- ritory and trod on the toes of no other rail- road magnate he went along swimmingly, but when other managers found that the best way to make railroad property profitable is to keep pace with its neighbors, and that he was bound to play a lone hand regardless of consequences. they concluded to retaliate. The Northern Pacific company has been get- ting itself in shape for a fight, and since the successful negotiation of the $12,000,000 loan, has had several surveying parties out run: ning a network of lines throughout the Red river valley. Some of these partics are still on the ground and have suspended labor only on account of the cold weather. Some of the surveys have been completed, and as soon a8 spring opens building will begin. Not only will the aggressor be attacked in the Red river valloy, but the Northern Pacific has also planned branches leading northwesterly from its main line to Fort Buford and Greut Falls on the Manitoba, as well us other spurs in Montana. Now comes the triangular part of the fight The Manitoba has pursued the same policy as outlined above in pushing its nose south- westerly at several points, having already reached Watertown and Aberdeen, the former branch being projected to Huron and supposed to be headad for Denver, In ad- dition the line from Duluth to Wiimar has been projected to Sioux Falls, _getting dan- gerously near Omaha. These off-shoots from the already great system intersect the Mil- waukee & St. Paul and the Chicago & North- western, and the former proposes to fight back. Its Fargo & Southern is already a thorn in the side of the Manitoba but this is to be extended down the Red river and, at every fifteen or twenty miles, branches are to be thrown out iiito the rich farming country with the design of gathering up the wheat, that ycar after year has contributed to the Manitoba's earnings. In_addition to the invasion of its territory the Milwaukee & St. Paul has no other reasons for wishing to prod the Manitoba, for it is as natural for a railroad company to fight as it 18 for a bull- dog. Since its southwestorn extensions have been in operation the Manitoba has made some reductions in rates that were hardly ugreeable to the other, by which Duluth has been put on an_equality with Minneapolis with reference to wheat and lumber. As the Manitoba has a line to both cities ‘and the Milwaukee & - St. Paul to but one, these reductions have & tendency to decrease the business of the lutter line. With all these new lines in the Red River valley the Manitoba's wheat tonnage will be materially reduced, a reduc- tion for which its Montana extension will do little to compensate for a number of years at least and only with the adjuncts of expensive branches. In the general wa the Manitoba the Union Pacifie will sympa- thize 1f not assist, as its valuable business at Butte was seriously interfeared with by the large cut in freight rates with which the Manitoba __inaugurated its entrance mto Helena. These were reduced from & to . first-class, while the general opinion of ailrond men here was that they were none too high before and that the new road could obtained just as much advertising and by hav business, for that matter, a cut that would not have been so destructive to revenue, The ire of the Northern Pacifie, the Milwaukee & St. “Paul and the Union Pacific has been excited and the coming sea- son will show a bitter war of conquest. .

Sensational Denouemeut of a Church Row in Pennsylvania. Famview, Pa., Jan.22.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The Presbyterian church of this place needed a new pastor about three months ago, when R John 1. Butler, a young divine from Philadelphia, preached a sermon before the congregation. He was prepossessing in appearance, eloquent to an unusual degree and made such a favorable impression that a call was immediately cx- tended to him to come and preside over the affairs of the church. He accepted, took hold of affairs with an energy, and quickly Dbecame a social favorite, 8o great was his popularity with the married and - unmarrigd ladies. Fairview church entered upon a period of unwonted prosperity in the re- ligious annals of this region, and the pillars thereof found cause for congratulations in the wise selection they had made. It soon began to be whispered, ~however, that Rev. Butler was too partial to ladies society, and the growing jealousy of the male portion of the community was brought to a focus at watch night services New . Years eve. What actually occurred has screened in the closest secrecy, but it is ed upon reliable authority that the.young pastor offended several ladies. Greatd indig- nation was felt by the members of the church, but no formal action was taken tiil a day or 80 ago, when Mr. Butler was sum- moned before a board of trustees for irvesti- gation. High words arose between the: min- ister and Jumes Gilbert, president .of the board, which ended by the former being taken in hand and foreibly thrown from' the room. The board then formally discharged him and he was advised to- leave town, but before doing so he had Gilbert arrestod and held for trial.

How Cleveland's Jubilee Gift Was Re- ceived by His Holines Bavtivonre, Jan, 22.—~The following cable- gram was to’day received by the Sun: Archbishop Ryan, in prescnting the pope's jubilee gift from President Cleveland, said it wasa tribute paid to his holiness by the ruler of 60,000,000 of freemen; a ruler elected by them, who feels deeply the supreme responsi- bility of his exalted station, his dependence upon God’s providence and who has had the wisdom and fortitude to discharge faithfully and conscientiously all the important duties devolving upon him, Hehas publicly declared his solemn conviction that christianity fur- mishes the true permanent basis of real civ- ilization and perfect order, representing at once the morol conquestover the greatest nations of the earth. In the American re- public the Catholic church is free to act and to carry out its sacred and beneficial mission for the human race by the fundamental right of constitutional guarantee as demonstrated in this volume, the appropriate gift of the president. The members of the delegation, kneeling before the pope, received the apostolic bene- diction for themsclves and for their people. Dr. O'Connell, rector of the Amer- ican college, presented an album to the pope and translated the president’s message. The pope listened with the utmost satisfac- tion, examined the gift carefully. and ex- pressed his admiration for the exquisite taste and the neatness of ite exceution. It was an especial pleasure, he said, to_receive a copy of the constitution of the United States. Dr. 0'Connell then read to the pope a letter from Cardinal Gibbons in which the cardinal asked for a blessing on the country. The pope then read his rep Ryan, expressi ceiv to Archbishop 1g the pleasure ho folt m re- Ig the gift from the president of the United States. He contited: “I have received offerings from all parts of the world: from Italy rom France, Germuny, Hungary, Spain, England and one from the president of the United States—a most pleasing one. *‘As archbishop,” he added, ‘‘you enjoy there perfect freedom. That freedom, we admit, is highly beneficial to the spread of re- ligion. As the head of the church I owe my duty, love and solicitude to part of the church, but toward America I bear an espe- cial love. The your nation is great your future full of mands my highest Hence this offering which I ved today, has truly touched It affords me pleasure to pour forth through you to your president and to your great country my most profound sense of appreciation and gratitude. In con- clusion, I grant you my Dble and ask dent of your Turning to Dr. O'Connell, the pope said: I desire you to make this known to your people. Deseribe the solemn manner in which I have received the gift of their president.” Afterward the pope received the delegation privately. He was delighted with President Cleveland’s gift and engaged in conversation ‘with the delegates fop nearly an hour. The prelates present brought jubilee offerings amounting to #30,000. The delegation in- cluded Archbishop. Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop Ryan, of Buffsjo; Burke, of Chey- anne, and Sadenbush, of Minnesota; Mons. Quigley, of Charleston, 8. C.; Rev.

Mrs. Manning lived only a few months after her marriage, and her death filled the sensitive soul of her husband with a deep and lasting sorrow, and turned him more and more to a life of entire spiritualit Cardinal ning was born in 1809, the same that witnessed the birth of Alfred Tennyson. His tather was a member of parlinment and governor of the ank of England. Young Manning, after a preparatory education at Har row, entered Balliol college, Ox- ford, where he distinguished him- self no less by his schols ship than by the polish of his manners. He become a fellow of Merton college at the early age of twenty-four, and arch- con of Chichester before he was thirty-three. At that age the future cardinal archbishop seemed very far from the Catholie church, for just at that time he preached so violent atirade against “*‘poppery” Dr. Newman, who was then preparing to join that church, declined to see him_ the ne. time he called. While holding orders in the church of England, D ing maintained the spivitual gr of baptism, and when the doc- trine was by M Gorham* and the view of the latter was pro- nounced tenable by the Church of Eug- land, Manning “felt the very ground on which ‘he stood cut from under him,” and shaking from his feet the dust of ch of his ancestors, entered the church of Rome : ——— Senator Ingalls.

One of the Tricks Which Has Led to Present State of Things, Now York Sun: “Iread the editorial in yesterday's Evening Sun on cheap ars with interest,” said a rman- ufacturar this morning to a reporter, “I not "“\F manffacture cigars, but I doa retail business as well. 1 do not think that the quality of the popular cigars is as bad as it has been pictured. “Do (yuu think that the quality could be made any worse,” asked the roporter. “Coertainfy,” said the cygnr man, “It could be made a great deal worse. “Then I should give up the weed and £o back to the cob pipe and oak leaves of my boyhood delight,” said the re- porter. ““The fact of the matter is,” said the cigar man, “there are a great many people who do not know a good cigar when they gethold of it. I've tested that matter to my satisfaction. 1 have deliberately retailed a 10 cent cigar for 5 cents, and I'have had persons ook at one of these, turn it over, smell it, and declare it was no good, and insisted on the regular old 5 center. Again, a cus- tomer, after smoking my reg grade of 5 cent cigar fora long time fur- W nished some of the 10 cent brand. The next time he came in here he said: “‘Why did you change cigars on m, ‘T gave you a better grade and 1 thought you would prefer it.’ *Well, I don’t think there is any- thing better about itand 1 am sure I don’t prefer it. Give me some of the same stock [ have been used to having.' “You sce, the v s taste is thor- oughly vitinted. He would have made the same complaint had T given him a 20 cent cigar. The better the cigar the worse he would have considered it.” “That all may be true,” replied the rveporter, “but the fact remains that most of tho cigars offered at public prices are simply stinkers. How do you account for it?" “The fact of the matter is,” said the dealer, “‘my custom is good and I have to furnish a high grade of cigar. But there is a class of manufacturers and re- tailers who cater to what we call tran- cient trade. They are the people who get rich in a hurry and retire from the business. They neverexpect to see him again, and unless he investigates his cigar very closely ke will not discover the inferiority of it until it begins to burn his tongue. Then he fires it into the gutter with an impr ion. They are the men who have no conscicnce, who make the money and who are re- sponsible for the growl about cheap cigars. Whereare they? Everywhere. *Then, again, these tronsient trade fellows calculate that when a man has smoked the first half of a cigar he throws it away. Toclinch an uncer- tainty they have manufactured for them a cigar the f half of which is filled with first-class tobacco, while the sec- ond half is filled with miserable pick- mgs. When the man finishes the first half he is in splendid humor; when he enters on the second half he finds his tongue beginning to itch, and the saliva in his mouth to have a pungent, nause- ating taste, which makes him throw the cigar away. He cannot understand it, but thinks that it is all caused by the nicotine which collects in the second half of the cigar the nearer it is burned out. “Oh, yes; it is o sharp dodge—one of the trade—and dealers who count al- most entirely on_transcient trade work it for all its worth. Itis in a majority of cases this second half of miserable pickings whichis causing most of the complaints about the bad quality of the popular cigar. Not every man wakes up immediately to the deception, and he puffs away on the second half with as much vigor and satisfaction as he did on the first. Sometimes he don’t discover it and sometimes he does, but don’t care A fig. He smokes to be smoking, and a Btinkcer suits him just as well as the choicest brand of Havana would.” e il An assault-at-arms, executed by la- dies, oceurred recently at Berlin, Ger- many.
