News Notes. Dr. J. A. Garver, of Dodge Center, was burned to death by his clothing becoming ignited from an open grate. The Richmond House, at Torah, was destroyed by fire. The Mississippi, at Winona, has been frozen over and is only six inches above low-water mark. While there is no official utterance, it seems to be expected that Gov. Van Sant will call the Minnesota legislature in extra session sometime in February, to consider the report of the tax commission. Attorney General Douglas is proceeding on the assumption that exlisting Minnesota laws give all the protection needed to prevent the consolidation of parallel lines of railroad, and will not ask new legislation, even if an extra session is called. N. J. Schafer, president of the First National Bank, of Owatonna, has sold to B. B. Sheffield, L. Peavey and A. B. Blodgett, of Faribault, a controlling interest in the bank, including the building. Harlow A. Gale, a pioneer resident of Minneapolis, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. E. J. Tryon, after a long illness. The owners of the Chicago railroads seem to be much, or even more interested than the people of the Northwest in preventing the "community of interests" of the Pacific railroads. They have a vision of the business of the northwest going to the Orient instead of to the windy city. When the northwest sells its products in the Orient it will have a bigger customer than Chicago. C. E. Peaslee, receiver for the Manufacturers' Bank of West Duluth, one of the banks that went up on the panic, has applied to the district court for an order to sell the last of the assets, and he states in his application that he will realize enough to pay all claims in full. Milwaukee & St. Paul surveyors are running a line from Zumbrota to Faribault. The presumption is that the narrow gauge line from Zumbrota to Wabasha will be made of standard gauge. The case against Chief of Police Crandall, charged with malfeasance in office for issuing an order permitting saloons to be open between I and 8 p. m. on Sundays, came to a sudden end after the jury had been drawn, the court holding indictment bad, and directing a verdict of not guilty. The Pioneer Press, of St. Paul, has arranged for a 30-day trip through the south, visiting the coasts of Florida, Cuba and the Bahama Islands. Tickets are based on actual cost and include all expenses. The party will be limited and will leave the Twin Cities via the Northwestern route, as shown by particulars elsewhere. The Faribault rug factory was destroyed by fire. The loss on stock and machinery was about $1,000, with no insurance. Morris F. Wolf got a verdict of $13,875 against the Minnesota Transfer Railway company. Wolf was a switchman and lost his right arm in an accident. While he was between two freight cars, setting the "knuckles" of the automatic coupler, another train backed down and caught him. The American Bridge company. successors to Gilette-Herzog company, has notified President Northrop, of the university, that the three prizes offered by the latter company for theses in the college engineering, and aggregating $150, will be withdrawn after the end of this semester.
