FOET SNELLEN* BRIDGE.

A CLOUD OF WITNESSES IN ITS FAVOIl.

•~f The Interests of the Flour Mills, Elevators jj and Wheat Bayers In the Project—A I Strong Call From the Farmers in Dako-f ta, Hennepin, Scott, Carver and Sibley I Counties-—What a Six-Hundred-Acre. f Farmer Says—It Wi l l Increase \Yhc:it { Receipts Twenty-Five Per Cent.

J Messrs. Schurmeior & Co., the owners f and operators of the flour mill on Third 1 street, next to the elevator, give good rea-< eons, if there wore none others, why the

Fort Snelling bridge should bo built. Wa I hope to see, before many years, si number of

flour mills along our bluff, and more elova-) tors also, for then Saint Paul will be a great

wheat market. This growing interest bids fair to become, within a few years, one of the greatest importance. All highways to

i success 3hould be opened. Messrs. Schm-' meier & Co. say: • The building of a free bridge at Fort Snelling • would tap one of the most extensive, rich and

^ j populous agricultural regions of the Stat'.-. i But now the farmers living there, are actually ; shut out by the difficulty—let alone the toll— ' or crossing the river at Fort Buelling. The

completion of the proposed bridge will brinjf them with their wheat and other produce to sell in Bb. Paul, and to n.ake their purchases. Thk; city, in cur opinion, cannot make a better

i business investment than to build this bridge. It will, we have no doubt, make a wagon travel and an increase of business to Saint Paul no large, that our business men will be astonished, and will wonder why they have so long neglec­ted to secure thi3 great and necessary improvement. That it will soon add thousands to our population, and give Jnew life to retail bueinesB, is a very reasonable prediction.

Even now some of the farmers in the exten­sive country that will be tapped by the Fort Bnelling bridge, coming from Scott county within a few miles from Jordan, bring, when they do come, their wheat to one mill, and many more would come if we had this bridge, and the roads which would soon come to it.

It would pay to build the bridge if it v^ere only to get for our mills and elevators the amount-of wheat that would be brought across it by wagons, but which now goes to Minne­apolis, owing to high bluffs, Bteep roads, ami bad feny crowing, which now make it about impossible to haul a full loaded wagon up the hills on either aide.

Our conversations and business with the farmers living in the counties that will be tapped by this bridge, enable us to say, that they are anxious to establish business relations •vrith Bt. Paul, and will do BO, if we will only give them a fair chance.

We have, of course, a business interest in the •:ompletion, as soon as possible, of the pro­posed bridge. It ia of tho moat vital import­ance to the milling Interests of this city to have this bridge for wagons to bring iu wheat to tho mills, whioh is much preferred to re­ceiving wheat in any other v ay, for then we get it unmixed and in the bost possible con­dition. Eut not only the wheat market and milling interests.but all other kinds of.business will gain more or less by building the Fort Snelling bridge and by encouraging tho open­ing of wagon roads from all directions infftthe city.

fUrong Letter From the People of Five Counties.

D. W. Ingersoll, Esq.: DEMI Brrn—We understand that you are a

member of the chamber of commerce of St. Paul and in favor of building a bridge at Fort Bnelling, and that some of the other members are opposed to that improvement on the ground that it would not increase the business of your city enough to pay for it.

We write to tell you that suoh a bridge would bring to your oity a large trade from the Minnesota valley, on both sides of the river, whioh is now kept out of St. Paul because there is no bridge at Fort Snelling. The peo­ple up this valley who would go to your city in wagons do not do BO any more than they can help, because there is no good crossing. We have to pay fifty cents to cross and return on tho ferry. Besides, we cannot take a full load up tho dangerouB hill thero, and some­times cannot cross the ferry at all on account of the high water; so we generally prefer to go to Minneapolis, when we would otherwise go to St. Paul on a free bridge at Fort Snelling if there was such a bridge there. We would like to have an equal chance to deal in both cities, which we have not now, and it is to the interest of your city to offer ns that equal chance, unless you do not want to have the Minnesota valley business.

If you would explain this to the ohamber of commerce, so that it would be understood, we think that all the members who are in favor of the interests of St. Paul, will be very glad to build the long talked of Fort Snelling bridge, and many of our old settlers, who used to deal in St. Paul altogether, will be glad to do so again. lours with respect, GAEHETT VANNESS, G.

, !The Importance and Worth of a Noble Consciousness."

The Kev. Dr. Dana, at the morning ser­vice yesterday, delivered a very interesting discourse, of which the following is an ab­stract: Acts 28-1: ' 'I have lived in all good conscience

before God until this day." What grander confession after all. can a man

make than this? What a noble bearing it here gives the apostle, as he stands a prisoner at the bar, planting himself on the moral integrity of his life, and drawing from that inner his­tory which the world could not read, affirms his consciousness of a noble intent. This was a signal hour in St. James' career, and if he found it a refuge and comfort that his life had been guiless, pervaded by a lofty purpose, it surely is worth our while to look into the mat­ter and see if we are not missing that which may be more to ua than all else, viz., a noble consciousness. In times like this what lesson so needful for us to learn, as how to stand in tho full honors of reotitude before our own consciences. If one thing more than another impresses us in the character of the early disciples, it is their bold declaration of possessing a conscience void of offense, and that therefore it mattered little to them that they were judged by man's judgment, since they knew they were approved by God. There is no resisting this appeal they make to their own conscious integrity, and the sense they had of being right and true. Careful as we train ourselves to be about our conduct, studi­ous as we are to seem right before men, we lose eight of that which must go be­fore all appearance, that is actual being. In these days it is not more attention to the externalities of our life that is called for, but for more regard for our inward bearing— for what wc are in our own consciences, and in tho sight of God. Before tho fear of this world, we need to place the reproaches of our own hearts, for self-condemnation is harder to bear than any criticism of those unfriendly. We can do without the friendship of men, but we cannot live and be happy without an approv­ing conscience. Pascal, in one of his thoughts, puts it thus, "We have suoh a grand idea o.f the soul of man, that we cannot endure to be despised by it, or oven not to be esteemed by it. It's the life we live in ourselves, our secret and real character that constitutes our happiness— and personal influence. So the apostle, looking back upon his past, was able to report, that be had ever acted from tho highest motives, and it \vaa therefore a small matter to him to be called into judgment by kings or courts, when acquitted before that inner tribunal where first rre are obliged to be judged with relentless severity.

1. Consider first the nature and scope of consciousness; wherein it differs from memory and differentiates man from the brute. Think y,hat it supplies to poet and painter, and how it exalts the bearing of every man possessed of a noble purpose.

2. As a source of happiness what is com­parable to a fine and lofty consciousness? This distinguishes the magnanimous from the mean man, the polemic animated by zeal for general notoriety and success and the devoted chris­tian, whose arguments are loving deeds, and whose persuasive is his guileless, helpful life.

3. How this noble consciousness profb-'-'Ts patience and courage. It greatens every hu-man life, and gives us an errand that is divine in its effects on men.

Fourth—And this consciousness Christianity procures f er ns. It commends every one of its doctrines and duties to us, showing us that in the living and believing to which it summons ns is found a really puro and exalted spirit. It is Christianity in the form of a personal expe­rience which builds over the ruins of sin fair structures. It fills the mind -with ideals and longings, that supply the staple of noble achievement. When our gaze is onward, the report that comes to the Christian-hearted of us is one that irradiates the face, and betokens the consolations which feed the soul's peace and keep alive the fires of its holy zeal. Happy my friends are you, if able to affirm with the courageous and lofty-souled apostle, "We have lived in all good conscience before God." 5>

The sky over the eastern portion of the city was brilliantly illuminated about 7 o'clock last evening by flames beyond the city limits.

Jailor Jeasrang was kept on the hop during the early morning hours of yesterday. At 3 A. 51. he had eleven prisoners locked up.

The concert to-night by M'lle, l ima de Murska, and assistants will be one of the most brilliant musical events this city has ever wit­nessed. * V '

Saturday evening marks an epoch in the ar­rival of traveling men who flock here to spend the Sabbath, and as a consequence, the hotel hall ways are crowded with their ponderous sample trunks. Monday morning sees a cor­responding heavy exodus of these birds of promise.

Hon. F. R. Delano, in closiug hU speech on the Fort Snelling bond question, at Enauft's Hall, on Saturday evening, expressed the hope that when the polls closed on Tuesday night, there would not be found in all the city three hundred "damphooiB" who had voted against it. Will the result justify the "chaplain's" hopes?

Special agent Stebbine of the Interior De­partment arrived in this city a day or two ago en route to Bisseton Agency to investigate the charges made against Agent Hooper, by the '. - dian Chief Gabriel Renville.

The bids which were opened at th6 office of Chief Quartermaster Tompkins, in this city, on Saturday, were only a portion of the bids yet to be received—probably considerably less than half—and were those only which were put in here, or forwarded here from other points. Those that have been put in at the several posts, and of these there are, no doubt, a great number, have not yet been forwarded to the general office, and until these are received and scheduled and compared, no awards can be made. In doing thiB several weeks will be con­sumed, and then the awards will be made

What a Large Farmer Sat/8'

The following letter addressed to one of our prominent citizens, is from the largest farmer in Edon Prairie,^ Hennepin county. He has 600 acres of land under cultivation, and BO much desires to trade with St. Paul that he often comes to this city by way of Minneapolis:

EDEN PRAIRIE—-I perceive through the papers that there is a movement on foot to build a bridge at Fort Snelling. I, for one, think it 1B time that St. Paul was waking up to her own interests. I reside in Hennepin county, and make St. Paul my principal market, and know for a certainty that there is a large oortion of the trade of this county cut off by not having a good road at all seasons of the year, and a bridge to cross the Mississippi river. A free bridge would bring a large farmers' trade from the south part of this county, and from Scott and Le Ferry,

Sueur counties, Yours, etc.,

via. Bloomington P. F. RITCHIE.

Estimated Increase of JVheat Receipts. To the Fort Snelling Bridge Committee:

GENTLEMEN:—In reply to your inquiries as to the importance of a free bridge at Fort Snelling to increase the business of this city, I would Bay that 1 believe the building of a free bridge across the Mississippi river at Fort Snelling would, at the lowest calculation, add 25 per cent, to the amount of wheat that would come to St. Paul for a market, and as a natur­al consequence would lead to the purchase of goods for their families bv farmers coming to this oity by way of the bridge.

Previous to this winter we have had quite large receipts of wheat from the opposite side of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, after the ice became safe, but during the past win­ter we have seen but very little from that sec­tion, as the farmers could not come with teams on the ice, and, much of the time, could not cross at Fort Snelling ferry, and when they can cross on the ferry, are practically prevented doing so, for besides the objection they have in paying ferriage, they are unable to haul a full load up the Bteep hill on this side.

I havo frequently conversed with farmers that have come to the elevator from the coun­try west of Fort Snelling, and up the Minnesota river, and they all say that if they could get hnrn with a fair load, they would come with all their wheat.

To bring business here, the proposed bridge should be free. The trade will go where it can go the easiest, and is the best served. Before the St. Paul elevator was built, the wheat, . raised almost at our doors, was obliged-to seek some other market. Now with the elevator to handle and store any amount, auda free bridge across the river at WabaBhaw

PERSONAL. Hon. Ed. McDermott, of Minneapolis, paid a

flying trip to St. Paul yesterday. J. 0 . Her, of Omaha, is spending a few daya

in tho oity, with headquarters at the Metro­politan.

General Manager S, S. Merrill of the Mil­waukee & St. Paul Road, and party, passed through tho city on last evening's train for the East.

Hon. Geo. Giles, of Belle Plaine, is in the city on a brief visit. George looks as pleasant and happy as if the county seat were already removed to Jordan.

W. N. Madden, alias Fatty, the original Black Hills drummer, having first entered Dead wood in September, 1876, spent yesterday in St. Paul and left on the evening train for Chicago.

Col. O. A. Morton came down from St. Peter Saturday night, where he has been as a mem­ber of the State investigating committee. He will return to-morrow and remain to the con­clusion of the investigation, which is likely to continue two or three weeks.

R I V E R MATTERS.

The river is still receding, and yesterday showed, by the gauge, a depth of five feet one inch.

The steamer Annie left LaCrosse at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, heavily laden, for St. Paul, and arrived last evening.

The Clinton, the first passenger boat of the season, will arrive direct from St. Louis about Thursday.

The Pine City Lumbering Interests.

E. A. Jones, of Minneapolis, has recently purchased tho Pino City Lumber Company's mills at Pine City, and intends going largely into the manufacture of lumber. To this end, he and ex-treasurer Huntington have purchased Robinson, Netser & Co.'s logs, aggregating 800,000 feet, also 1,200,000 feet of Martin btrong, and are further negotiat­ing for the purchase of 800,000 feet from other parties—all of which It is designed to work up into lumber, this season.

The mill is now being fitted up in the best Btyle, and will bo started as soon as possible. • ,

The main Ground House dam went out on Saturday last, letting off the head of water, and sweeping a large number of the logs lying on the stream, below the dam, into the meadows, and necessitating a good deal of hard labor to get them in again. The dam belongs to Hersey, Bean & Brown, of Stillwater, who put in a large force of men tho next day and it is supposed that within ten or fifteen days they will have the dam fully repaired. The loss is not so much in the damage to the dam or the scattering of tho logs, as in the loss of the head of water, which cannot be supplied at this time except through the intervention of heavy rains. Depending en­tirely upon this dam for a market, Mr. Nel­son has about 8,000,000 feet of logs old. and new, and Hersey, Bean & Brown have prob­ably about 2,000,000. There is no water. on the Snaka river for driving and but little prospect unless continued heavy rains should set in-

A Handsome Compliment .

The Mower county 2 ran script, A. A. Har-wood, Esq., thus handsomely compliments Judge H. K. Brill, of this city:

Judge H. E. Brill, of St. Paul, holding court here on account of S. Page's impeach­ment, conducts himself with a degree of dignified urbanity not at all characteristic of the Mower county bench. His bearing and evident fairness have won for him the good opinion of our people, who are in a condi­tion to appreciate fair and gentlemanly treatment at the hand«of a judge of the dis­trict court.

What is BeingJDone with the Noble Ani­mal in 1818.

If tho "signs of the times" possess any significance then is there to be a decked re­vival in horse Bporta in S t Paul this season. The movement for a new and mere conven­ient driving park is strongly indicative of such a revival. Saturday evening the gen­tlemen interested in this movement, met at the office of Dr. Stone to hear the report of the committee appointed to examine the sev­eral locations offered and report as to the most desirable. The committee reported that they had examined the Sixth ward, Lake Como and Summit avenue tracts men­tioned as suitable, finding them all well adapted to the purposes. They had also inquired as to terms upon which the requir­ed land could be secured, and had received most liberal offers. While not desiring to commit the meeting to. any particular local­ity, the committee were of the opinion that, all things considered, the Sixth ward loca­tion was the most suitable.

It was also Btated that the management of the S .̂ Paul Driving Park asso­ciation were wilting to , grant the new organization ail desired accom­modations on their grounds, and would unite with it in any effort to popularize horse sports. Finally, it was decided to con­tinue the committee to make further inves­tigation, to report at a meeting to be held Thursday evening next, to which an adjourn­ment was had.

It is understood the new movement is meeting with the moat flattering encourage­ment from our .citizens. It should be understood . that this is no move against the present driving park association. The objection to the grounds of the present association is that they are so far out, that no general attend­ance can be secured except on extra occa­sions, while thejgoverning idea at the founda­tion of the new movement, is a location so easy of access that a Saturday afternoon matinee, with a nominal admittance fee with contests between fast steppers driven by the owners, runing dashes, etc., will draw out a good attendance.

Tho Sixth ward grounds seem to meet all requirements. They are in plain view and but a short distance from the heart of the city. The ground is favorable for tho economical construction of the ..track, and a portion of the buildings required are already erected. If they should be decided upon, it is understood that the base ball diamond will be preserved and kept in order, so that games could be played as desired. It is also understood that the athletic club would unite in popularizing the location for out-door-amusements by arrang­ing a series of walking and running con­tests. Between the racing matinees, ball games, and the athletic sports, there would be no trouble in getting up some attraction every Saturday afternoon during the season, with an extra day sandwiched in during the week occasionally. Several horse trainers stand ready to tako charge of the grounds, it is understood, and keep them in condition, and the committee have already been applied to for space for trainers and horses. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that the gentlemen moving in the matter feel san­guine that started, it will prove a complete success.

Miscellaneous.

Story of a Daughter's Love. There may be victims of absolutely in­

curable bad appetite. Such victims are rare­ly fortune if God gives them a friend, and especially a child, who can help them in their hour of temptation. A writer in the Hart­ford Times describes an interesting case of a Portland sea-captain who never drank on shipboard, but was unable to resist the im­pulse to drink as soon as he landed. One example of this is given after his return from an eight months' cruise, during the whole of which term he had not tasted liquor:

As he neared Portland his agitation be­came intense. He had no idea that this time he should drink, but became terribly anxious to reach his family and convince their loving hearts that his affection for them was sufficient to overcome his appetite. He landed, buttoned hi* overcoat to his chin in his excess of resolution, reported to the own­ers, walked deliberately to the nearest rum-shop, and in two hours was stupidly drunk again.

An unseen, inexplicable, yet irresistible power carried him, in spite of all his good resolutions, totherfatal resorts. He went to a low hotel, and buried himself from his frienns, and did nothing but think, thor­oughly determined not to go home at all this trip. But love hunted him out; his wifo got him home and straigtened him out for an­other voyage.

His next two returns were but repetitions of the one described. His family were in de­spair. His wife fell ill, and his eldest daughter determined that the next time love should not be defeated. W When his ship was nearly £due * she took lodgings near the wharf, overlooking the harbor, and the moment his vessels was sighted, she took a sail-boat and went down the harbor to meet him. Never was help more needed. His straggles had effected a mental and physical exhaustion rendering him completely helpless. He embraced his noble daughter almost hysterically, but warn­ed her that if she did not watch him olosely, he should ran away from her.

Bnt love had keen eyes as well as devotion. She finally landedfthis great, strong captain, who had braved scores of storms, safely in his home. The same method was pursued in his succeeding returns, and once, on mak­ing the harbor in the early dawn, he anchored until daylight discovered to his daughter his presence.

To this day this strong man, to whom the perils of wind and wave bring no fear, dares not set foot on shore without that daughter's hand clasped tightly in his. When one is thoroughly addicted to intemperate habits, alcohol* singly is more powerful than the

Becent sales of thorough-breds in Ken­tucky and Louisiana, show a falling off in prices as compared with last year, a fact which horsemen ascribe largely to the New York pool law.

Mr. J. L. Case, the enterprising breeder of Racine, Wis., has purchased of Mr. Hunt­ington, of Rochester, N. Y., the stallion Nar-ragansett, by Rhode Island, to take Gov. Sprague's place iu the stud while Sprague is campaigning.

The groy gelding Billy Button, record of 2:51, aged 36 years, and still living, is the oldest trotter in the United States. He is owned by Col. D. J, Unger, of Pennsylvania, who trots him regularly on the road in fine weather at about a 8:00 gait.

Mr. Charles Read, of New York city, has just imported from Lord Rosebery's stud at Sandown Park, near London, the richly bred chestnut stallion All Heart, five years old, by King Tom. , The pedigree of All Heart is one of the richest in England.

Mr. James M. Dunn, of Waseca, Minn., has recently bought, of M. W. Dunham, Wayne, Els., the imported Percheron-Nor-man mare Minerva, for f2,000. This is a famous brood mare. The same gentleman, purchased some months ago, the imported stallion Marmaduko, No. 297; and he also has four high-grade mares, three of them by Success, No. 452, which gives him a fine nucleus for a breeding stud.

The initial meeting of the great septillat-eral circuit will be at Cleveland, from July 23d to 26th, and the others in succeeding weeks, in the following order after Cleve­land, Buffalo, Rochester Utica, Springfield, Hartford and Ploughkeepsie. The entries close for Cleveland, Buffalo and Rochester, July 15. The purses at each place aggregate $13,500, and the members of the circuit are restricted from offering more than $15,000.

Chas. S. Green Babylon, L..L, is out in a challengo to trot Great Eastern against Smuggler, at Cleveland,-Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Poughkeepsie, Springfield and Hart­ford, on the last day of each meeting, a race of mile heats, beet 3 in 5 to harness, for $ 1,000 a side, each race, pay or play. The challenge to be accepted on or before the 1st day of April, 1878. If Col. Russell, the owner of Smuggler, doeB not want to make tho trots, Mr. Green will trot Great Eastern, the same races, against any horse in (he world to saddle.

The following table, giving the total en* tries in all the stakes for the spring meetings at the places mentioned for the years 1878, 1877, and 1876, shows the growing interest among breeders in these events. The first mentioned closed March 1:
