2 THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, lS^a. SKINT Pi-tDL. SPLENDID SOCIAL EVENT. "*QUghters of Erin Enjoy Them- selves at Aid. Murphy's. Aid. Murphy's handsome home and •pacious grounds at 77 Front street were ablaze with light and enlivened by mu.~ic last night. The alderman from the Ninth \u25a0 ward and his good wife had surrendered their home for the evening to the ladies of Division No. 2, Daughters of Erin, for an ice cream social. Chinese lanterns were strung over the lawn, on which numerous tables had been spread. The attendance was such as to gladden the hearts of those In charge of the fete and all went merry as the proverbial marriage bell. Pretty girls and genial matrons saw to it that everybody was supplied with tall that heart could desire in the way of substantial and dainties. To add to the pleasure of the evening the Hibernian Brass band made its appearance and during the hours before midnight rendered a number of Instrumental pieces in admirable style. This is a new band, compara- tively, but it is a decidedly creditable addition to the musical organizations of St. Paul. : \u25a0;-*.. -; Aid. Murphy himself appeared to be everywhere, in the serving room, at the tables, in the parlors, and around I the edges, making everybody" feel at j home and seeing to it that no one was allowed to be sidetracked from the feeding or the fun. Mrs. Murphy was not a whit behind; and for whole- souled enjoyment it is doubtful if the j Ninth ward has ever witnessed a more pleasurable social affair. Division No. 2 will profit no less in its exchequer than in its reputation for doing all t.-ngs well by last night's social. The ladies of the division devoted them- selves assiduously to the entertainment of their guests, and that they succeeded was amply evidenced by the happiness everywhere apparent. INTERESTING LABOR NOTES. Machinery Molders to Join Iron "Holders' Unon — Cigarmakers! Union Meets. A special meeting of the machinery moulders' union will be held next Mon- day evening at Assembly hall. Presi- dent Fox, of the Iron Moulders' Union of North America, will be present for the purpose of organizing the union into the iron moulders' union. Here- tofore, as stated in the Globe some days ago, the two unions have been working separately, and it has proven of disadvantage to both, but hereafter all the moulders in the- city will belong to one body. All the members of the union are requested to be present at Monday night's meeting. The clgarmakers' union held a well- attended meeting last night, which was devoted principally to the consid- eration of arrangements for turning out in the Labor day parade. It was | decided to invite the Minneapolis union to turn out with the St. Paul cigar-makers, as no Labor day celebra- tion is to be held in the Mill City. At the meeting last night a photograph of the entire union was taken by the flash-light process. The bricklayers' union held a meeting last night, but nothing of Special interest aside from the regular rou- tine business took place. GEORGE BUNK'S FISH. "The Fish Commission Wants to' Know About Them. Warden Farnham, of the state fish and game commission, yesterday morning seized about seventy-five pounds of black bass at the union depot. The fish belonged to George W. Bunn, a well known attorney of this city, but the package was not marked in any way. The law requires that packages of fish and game must bo marked with the name of the consignee and consignor, and all packages not so marked are liable to seizure by the game wardens. Mr. Bunn says that the fish were all caught with a fly, which the state warden says is impossible at this season of the year. Im- mediately upon his arrival In the city yesterday afternoon Mr. Bunn noti- fied Executive Agent Fullerton of his intentions to sue the commission and Warden Farnham for $500, as he claims that he has sustained damages to that amount. A.ll Allied Orders to Be Present. The committee having in charge the arrangements for the memorial services In honor of Dr. Root, to be conducted under the auspices of Camp No. 1, Sons of Veterans, have completed the details, and the event will be a very successful one. Mrs. S. V. Har- ris will sing a solo and prominent members of the G. A. R. will deliver short addresses. Invitations have been sent to all of the allied orders of the city and have been accepted. A large delegation will also come over from Minneapolis. Indications point to a very large attendance. Trip Through the East. T. L. Snyder, manager of the Twin City Mandolin orchestra, starts today for a trip through the East. While in New York he will be the guest of A. A. Farland," the greatest banjolst in the world. Mr. Snyder has been hard at work, and will enjoy a vaca- tion. Its Time Extended. The Home Building Society of Min- neapolis yesterday filed a certificate with the, secretary of state extending the time of Its corporate life eighteen years from Sept. 12. REGISTERED TRAVELERS.

VERY HANDY WITH CHECKS, BUT NONE OF THEM HAD REAL VALUE IN COMMERCIAL CIRCLES. -v« WINTERS* 1 ADDRESS WANTING. A Number of St. Paul People Very Anxious to Know His Where- abouts. George F. Winters is a man with a wonderful gift of stuttering — and uttering. Sometimes it seems to make little difference to Mr. Winters what he utters; and, besides unprintable expletives, it is asserted that he has been known to utter checks that were of no value except to enable Mr. Winters to replenish, fatten, extend and comfortably pad his exchequer. He always carries It (the exchequer) with him — also the cheques — and this may explain why he has achieved somewhat of a reputation as a checker of other people's funds. For alleged offenses of this char- acter the police of St. Paul are now seeking to check and demand pay- ment on Mr. Winter's exceedingly checkered career. The complete story- of this man's life would beat many a sensational dream of fiction. He is possessed of a most admirable nerve, which his stuttering abilities enable him to control, disguise and palm off as bashfulness or innocent bonhomie. His knowledge of the world and of men is almost as liberal as his ca- pacity for fooling the world. It is related of him by the dickey birds that one time he succeeded in com- pletely fooling an angry woman, who had a right to be fearfully jeal- ous, and who camped on his trail for deadly vengeance. When the distressed lady found the object of her wrath he was supposed to be dying, and his trick of stuttering enabled him to produce the death rattle in his throat at will. Forgive- ness followed the discovery of his fearful (!) condition, and he got so much enjoyment out of the success of his ruse that deception has since come to be regarded by him as a trade. And he has made it pay, for the time being. But numerous people are now in- quiring for the address of George F. Winters, and if it were possible they would gladly exchange photo- graphs, in order that they might put the presentment of Mr. Winters up to be shot at, and to vent their wrath on when too full for polite lan- guage. But right here is where the stuttering comedian fools them. He never had a photograph taken — least, not that any one remembers. He never had any use for a photograph, because he could impress himself so vividlyon the memory of even ordinary acquaintances that photo- graphs would be superfluous. I heard a railroad man say last night that Winters never bought a ticket and he never had a pass. He was so smooth that conductors wouldn't know he was on the train; and if they didn't, of course a ticket would be useless. One very prominent railroad manager, of a philanthropic and scholastic turn of mind, has rub- bed against Mr. Winters' smoothest side within a few days, it is said, and can bear witness to the fact that the missing man is perfectly frictlonless. He Is also a beauty when hidden behind blue goggles. The last glimpse that the emissaries of the railway mag- nate could catch of Winters was when he took an Interurban car for Min- neapolis, with his stutter at rest, a seraphic smile on his face and a good deal more than $15 in his inside pocket. He is going yet, and those who know his gentle Idiosyncrasies say he is gone. But the fly bobs are "dead stuck" to get him, for various reasons. He is an "amoosin' cuss" and a raconteur of peerless quality. As witness the fact that he recently entered a big wholesale dry goods house in St. Paul and stuttered himself Into the good graces of the gentlemanly managers. Then he accidentally, by mistake, dropped on the floor what appeared to be a certified check for a large sum. He rescued it when his attention was called to the fact that he had dropped It, and smiled his. thanks. A little later he interrupted the conver- sation to inquire very naively and very innocently if it was after banking hours, and could he presume to ask accommodation In the cashing of a check. Again the dickey birds— the refrain is $250, or thereabouts, gone like the drowned songster over whom was sung "willow, tit willow." Other notes of the dickey birds' song are redolent of possible snaps that George has enjoyed, and a list thereof would be Interesting. But the trusting folks who basked in his beaming smile and chuckled at his stammer- ing guilelessness, are too modest to admit how much -they thought of him. The profit and less account of several houses might a tale unfold, but books are dumb and fleeced lambs are shy of exposure. _ Several years ago George F. Winters was a salesman for a large wholesale house in St. Paul, and he was known as one of the very best. on the road. He admired pretty pictures— livingpic- tures—and the closer the view the better he liked them. It is said of him that he never lacked for pleasant company on a train, because . he had .. a stuttering faculty that enabled him to stumble into the good graces of angels. He also bad a generous habit of making presents to those of his female friends who would accept them. Now this misplaced generosity sometimes got him into trouble with his wife, an estimable lady. who is at present re- siding in Canada. But Winters was equal to any emergency and his de- lectable stutter was so full of pathos that it protected him even against the justifiable anger of his wife. Just where he is now is not known, but he can confer a great favor on half a dozen trusting, confiding, laughter- loving St. Paul people by sending his address, or a photograph— with or without the goggles. LAID THE CORNER STONE Of the Hospital Buitdivg for Sis- ter* of St. JottU-ryb. The cornerstone of tho new hospital building for the sisters of St.- Joseph was laid at 6 o'clock last evening without other than-. the most formal ceremonies, no one being present but Father Alfred, of Assumption church, who conducted the ceremony, a few of the sisters and the workmen em- ployed on the building. Father Alfred read a prayer, the stone was raised, and the customary tin box containing divers and sundry articles too numerous to mention was fastened In the hollow, the. stone was lowered and: set In place by the workmen and the ceremony was at an end. Among 'the things in the tin box were copies of all the dally papers In the city, the North-' western Chronicle, the constitution of the sisters of St. "Joseph and a history of the hospital from its foundation. GOT THEIR MONEY IN IT, And It Is Still There and Likely to *• Remain. . William Bause, receiver for Nich- ols & Chittenden, a Montana firm, yesterday commenced suit in the dis- trice court here to recover from the Henderson Mountain Mining & Mill- ing company $21,348 alleged to be due on notes given in Montana in 1893. There is nothing of special interest in this fact, nor does the complaint in the suit convey any idea that beneath the surface lies a combination of circumstances that might be woven into a rather amus- ing, if not sensational, tale. At the head of the Henderson Mountain Mining & Milling company was W. A. Jones, who is also at the head of the river improvements on the Upper Mississippi as government engineer, and the financial backer of the company was L. Blandin, a wealthy capitalist and speculator of Fort Dodge, 10. The company was the owner of what was supposed to be "one of the richest mines in Montana," and Nichols & Chittenden were induced by Jones in 1893 to put their,, money into it, they taking notes for the amount. The company soon afterwards went into the hands of a receiver, its credit having been good and its ability to use it unlimited, and then it was suddenly discovered that the ore deposits in what was supposed to have been "the richest mine in Mon- tana" were principally behind the upright timbers in the shaft, and when the timbers were removed, the ore was found to be only "skin deep." The firm whose money had gone into the mine was also forced into bankruptcy, and the present suit has been begun with a view to holding the stockholders liable, for the amount of its claim. This is not the only suit that has resulted from the company's methods of doing business. TIME FOR DEFINITE ACTION. Special Meeting for Next Monday on Attractions for Stata Fair Time. A number of prominent merchants and business men of the city met yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the Commercial club in accordance with the call issued by President Foot- ner several days ago. The meeting was not as fully attended as might have been, but those who were present entered fully into the spirit of the occasion. The matter of entertaining the visitors to the city during the state fair was fully discussed. It seemed to be : the sense of all present that something had to be done in that direction and it became simply a matter of arranging the details for a proper entertainment. President Footner suggested the propriety of having a parade of bicycle riders of the city, to decorate the Auditorium and secure some prominent speaker who should address the people for a Short time. He also favored the decorating of all business houses on the principal streets, like Sixth and Seventh streets, and have a masked carnival for a second evening. Prizes should be offered to participants. Others members were of the Idea that the military from Fort Snelling and the state militia should also be secured for a parade and the city fire department included. Upon motion President Footner appointed Messrs. Bowlby, Elslnger, Len- nan, Smith and Van Slyke a* committee to prepare an outline of the entertainment to be provided for two even- ings of fair week. This committee is to report at the next meeting of the general committee, which will be held at the Commercial club on next Mon- day at 12:30. Upon motion of Mr. Benz the chamber.of commerce and the Jobbers' union, as well as the citizens In general were invited to attend the next meeting and take part in the dis- cussion and final arrangements of the events. THREE SMALL BLAZES. A Trio of Fires Reported From v Various Points. The art of Venus' husband was re- sponsible for a fire loss of $200 at the state fair grounds Wednesday evening, the blacksmith shop being dam- aged to that extent. It Is said that the blaze originated from some glowing horseshoes left on the floor. They continued to glow long after they should have become an iridescent dream. A few hours later— to wit, at 3 o'clock yesterday morning— shrine of the same unfortunately blest Immortal, being the shop of C. H. Har- nisch, a blacksmith at 936 Arcade street, was destroyed by a fire orig- inating from an unknown cause. The pecuniary sacrifice was limited to $500. There was a gasolinestoveandasud- den blaze at 9 a. m. yesterday in the residence of Henry Devlin, 287 St. An- thony avenue. The combination was favorable for glowing holocausts and onward marches by the fire fiend, but no actual damage resulted. — GRANTED THE MOTION, But Taxed the Defendants as a. Re- minder. Judge Kelly yesterday filed an order granting the motion of Edward S. and Charles H. Page to reopen default judgment taken against them In the suit of H. T. Suter. _ Co. against the Anoka -Timber and Supply company. The judgment was for $3,122, and the court finds that Edward S. Page was not served with a copy of the summons, as the sheriff supposed he was. The principal evidence of this was the fact that he made a defense in another suit of an exactly similar nature, but did not even make answer in this. Charles H. Page admitted having been served with a copy of the summons, but he was in the woods, and as the other brother was to look after their joint interests in the event of law suits, Charles paid no attention to the summons, thinking Ed- ward, who was supposed to be at Anoka, would attend to it- But Ed- ward was not at Anoka at the time, so the matter went by default and judgment was taken. The court there- fore thinks the judgment should be opened as to Charles as well as Ed- ward, but makes the order conditional that he pay $25 to plalntff's attorney as costs so that he may be taught a wholesome lev-son. Three More Pepper Nights. Col. Pepper's "Sunny South" will give only three mere performances at Aurora base ball park, and then It will go to Chicago for a long engage- ment.

Their Decision* . \u25a0 b .1 All the members of the commission to locate the fourth hospital for the insane were present at the meeting held yesterday in the governor's office, to receive offers of sites from any town or city desiring to make them. Chaska, Stacy, Delano, Hast- ings, Jordan aijd Anoka are all anxious to secure the new institution, but Chaska has come forward with an offer thait is generosity itself, and offers the state 640 acres of land at the low price of $1. On Tuesday, October 15, the commission will hold a meetng at that city and examine carefully the plat of ground and the advantages offered in connection wit— the site. A delegation of rep- resentative citizens of this enter- prising little town came down yesterday to urge the claims of the place, and Mayor Griemer, who did the talking, spoke of the delightful position of the plat on the Minne- sota river, of the healthful and pic- turesque location of the 640 acres, including some little bluffs, and last but not least, he reminded the com- missioners of the fa<V that in Chaska they manufactured brick, which might be used in the construction of the buildings. The claims of Jor- dan were presented by T. T. Hoffert. That town offers the commission 640 acres for $14,800, while from Anoka come offers of three different plats of ground, at $15,000 each. E. O. McGlauflin headed the delegation from Anoka, and he asked the commission to simply consider their offer with the others. Besides the three offers from the city of Anoka, an individual offer was made of 640 acres for $15,000. The town of Hastings came in with an offer of 643 acres for $15,000, Sen- ator Schaller making the offer and simply stating that the people .would be satisfied with the decision of the commission, whatever it might be. Delano was represented by Editor Guitzwiller, of the Delano Eagle, who on behalf of the citizens of that place offered the commission 640 acres of land for $15,000. The board heard representatives from all towns that were represented, and after passing upon some bills for priniting-, adjourned: WILL OPEN BIBS For the Paving- of Wabasha From Third to College Avenue. '"' .This afternoon the board of. public works will open Ijjds for the paving "of Wabasha street with asphalt from curb to curb, from Third street to College avenue. In all probability Hen- nessy & Cox and the Warren-Scharf company will be the only bidders for the work. The award of the contract by the board of public works will un- doubtedly be confirmed by the council at the next regular meeting of each body. The board of aldermen will meet Sept. 3 and the assembly will hold, its next meeting the evening of Sept. 5. It .is possible that special meetings may be called before these dates in order to close the contract, but this would not materially hasten the time of beginning the work on Wabasha street, as both paving companies will be busy on West Fifth and St. Peter streets at that time, and neither would be ready to proceed oh Wabasha street much before the 6th of September. WANTS ALL THE ORE That Is Due the Stute George Bix- , by Will Look After It. . ...-'; State Auditor Dunn and George Fllnn have returned from a visit to i the iron mines on the Missabi range. Mr. Dunn investigated the reports that the mining companies were stripping off the low grade ore and leaving it instead of either shipping it or render- I ing an account of it to the state. He j found that in most cases the compan- j ies had been using all the ore and ! giving an account of it to the state, but the owners of the Oliver and Lone j Jack mines were leaving a good deal I of the low grade ore on the ground. j These two mines are owned by the I same company, but the Lone Jack Is on private land, while the Oliver mine is on state land and hereafter all ore j taken from that mine will be accounted ! for. George Bixby has been appointed by Mr. Dunn to weigh out the ore and see that the state gets credit for all that is taken from state lands. SOLID MEN THINK WELL OF IT. The State's New Banking Law Commended hy Financiers. Bank (Superintendent Kenyon has ; received letters from Henry M. Knox, the vice president of the' Security ' Bank of Minneapolis, and others com- mending the new banking law of Min- nesota. It is thought by bankers all over the: country that the law will ; give the state much better banks, in- crease the confidence of investors and I others from outside the state, as well as encourage the immigration of well- to-do people to the state. 5 — .-i : BREAD OF STANDARD WEIGHT. The Market Master Finds the Staff of Life Regulation Size. The market master began yesterday a tour of Inspection of the bakeries and other places where bread is sold for the purpose of ascertaining wheth- er the loaves were of standard weight. Forty-three places were visited yesterday, and none was found to be making or selling loaves below the minimum weight alloy/ ed by law, which is one pound. CROWD AT COMO To See the Daring Dugay, the Wonderful Wire Walker. The crowds at Ccmo this week have been growing nightly. Last evening and Wednesday had the largest at- tendances of the week, owing largely to the warm spell. Should the weath- er, continue propitious it is exceedingly probable that the Como season will be extended, and some more first- class attractions added to the number that have been brought here this summer by the city railway company. --. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 The success of Prof. Dugay on the wire rope is as marked as it is mer- ! ited. - He is tho most "hiring wire rope performer seen in , this city, and .; his work on the rope,. besides that.of cook-: ing a meal on a clove at the center - .. the rope, includes- some •-.-. thrilling tricks. .'.The popular music by the First Regiment band is being much ap- preciated by. the people at the lake. The band has prepared a very fine programme gof the latest", hits :• for this evening. „-'....- TIMEPIECE WAS ERRATIC, So ' Keog-h Seeks to Recover His . Four Gold Eagles.. In the civil branch of the municipal court William Keogh is suing L. S. Weiler. to recover $40. This sum repre- sents the pecuniary loss entailed by Mr.' Keogh from certain alleged mis- representations as to the health, constitution and personal characteristics of a watch sold by Weiler to Keogh. The watch was guaranteed to com- bine jan appearance of staid and respectable solidity with unlimited phy- sical endurance and habits of in- dustry and punctuality. The watch, however, proved to be capable but negligent, able to attain a remarkable and even unnecessary speed on ocean sion, yet given to moody spells. How- ever philosophic it may be for a timepiece to pause for reflection and be sure it is right before it goes ahead, Mr. Keogh's watch was not purchased in anticipation of discovering these hidden virtues. \u25a0'\u25a0'--^\u25a0'\u25a0'V.^.y THREE BIDS RECEIVED For Supplying: Coal for "the Coun- ty Dependent Buildings. The board of control received bids yesterday for supplying the alms- house, city and county hospital and outside poor department with coal for the ensuing winter. The lowest three bidders were the Youghiogheny &Lehigh Coal company, the Lehigh Coal and Iron company and C. R. Schacht. Until the bids are tabulated It is Impossible to name the lowest. The bids are as follows: The Lehigh Coal and Iron company offer to supply hard maple wood at ?4.50, delivered, in half-cord lots. The company's prices of coal range as follows: Youghiogheny, $4.15 per ton till Sept. 30, after that $4.25; Pittsburg and West Virginia, same prices; Illinois coal, $2.90 and $3 per ton; Hocking, $3.95 and $4.05. The Youghiogheny & Lehigh offer to deliver soft coal at Gladstone, for use at the poor farm, for $3.93 till Oct 1; $4.03 after Oct. 1; Hocking Valley coal ax the same prices The bids on hard coal are all alike, and are $6.75 after Sept. 30.

" Judge Egan yesterday dismissed the writ of habeas corpus for the release of Charles R. Lowe, charged with re- sponsibility ' for the death of Clara Bei-gh, and remanded Lowe to prison to await the action of the grand jury, which meets next month. Judge Card, Lowe's attorney, . was not satisfied with the decision of the court and said he would apply to Judge Brill for a writ on the return of the latter. —-— " —— "~ \u25a0" ——— — BORN IN A MONKEY CAGE. How Ringling Bros.' Elephant Trainer Began Her Profes- sional Career. Miss Gyptenia Felice Mayo, the elephant trainer with Ringling Brothers' circus, may truthfully be said to have been "born in the profession," if ever a woman was, for she was literally born in a monkey cage. Her parents were owners of a small traveling caravan on the Russian steppes. They made annual pilgrimages from their home in Upper Navc-rsik to the great fair at Nljni Novgorod, giving exhibitions en route. In the spring of 1873 her parents started from homo with ! their two wagons. The first contained ! a small tent, some extra harness, for I their three horses, and the regular I quantity of black bread and vodka. They journeyed on an average about ten miles per day, and hoped to reach I the great fair early In September. It meant 100 miles' travel. They had in [ the forward end of the second wagon a half dozen trick monkeys, and with j these they gave exhibitions wherever they could find a few villagers willing to contribute a hanc.ful of- kopecks for' the privilege of seeing them show. The little caravan laboriously wended its way toward, Nljni Novgorod. The Mayos, pere et mere, sang songs all the day as they journeyed, in anticipation of an heir to their caravan and their monkeys. *•': One night in August, when camped 1 on the banks of the Neva, the expected i happened. The monkeys had been taken from their cage* and tied to the . . trees on the bank of the river. A pal- let of straw was placed in the monkey ; cage, and here, with the full moon \ looking down upon the beautifully i clear Russian night, little Gyptenia | was born. The village priest came into the camp early the next morning. He blessed ! the little stranger, drank a cup of i vodka with the parents, made the I sign of the cross on the infant's head ' and took his departure to minister to tho daily religious wants of his peas- ant parish. Grand Duke Alexis — the same Alexis who visited the United States hi 1872,* and created such a furore in society— was on one of his hunting tours. He heard of the incident of the child being born in the monkey cage, •and ordered his equerry to present to the parents 20 roubles, at the samp time suggesting that her name should be Gyptenia Felice.

Frank Gilletski, the young man charged with abducting for immoral purposes, a young girl under the age of sixteen, appeared in the municipal court yesterday morning. His attorney requested a continuance of the case until the 30th inst. The continuance" was granted, and Gilletski's ball fixed at $500. The ball was not furnished. Low Best received r. sentence of 30 days in the workhouse for making a cowardly assault on an old man | named Madden. The latter Is 79 years of age, and has resided in the city for \ j4l years. He met Best Wednesday afternoon near the Westminster street bridge. The two became Involved in an ar- gument, and Mr. Madden made some remark reflecting upon young Best, who, in return, struck the old gentleman a violent blow in the face. The wife of Pertly Smith-"The Black Diamond"— brought up on the charge of threatening to hasten the celestial reward of Mis 3 Belle Weaver, tho. young lady with whom Mr. Smith was arrested the other evening. Miss Belle's nerves have been on edge ever since this affair. Judge Twohy, there- j j fore, was inclined to believe that she j I exaggerated the malignity of her "gem- man friend's" wife. He advised Miss Belle to adjure her social duties for a brief period, and seek to restore her shattered nerves by a brief sojourn in the White Mountains or at Bar Harbor. As a. slight concession, however, to the sensitive maiden's feelings the accused Mrs. Smith -was asked to loan City Attorney Oppenhelm the English bulldog revolver which nestled in her bosom. The very sight of the dreadful weapon caused the timid little ' Belle to snuggle appealingly alongside the ' protecting shadow of the bench. ."•: .< \u25a0. : \. : ! Louis Liverpool, to his great morti- I fication, was again a prisoner at the bar. He was accused of assault and j battery. Mr. Liverpool, as all I tho world knows, is a rep- ! utable colored citizen, and a gentle- j man of the most laudably legal inten- -1 tions. From the time when he added a burnished ebon luster to the municipal constabulary by wielding a baton ; and arresting any smaller man wno 1 wouldn't show fight, it has been Mr. Liverpool's constant aim to set a worthy example to the community. But in the Liverpool household there is a young man named Bert Tate, whose frequent wanderings from the straight and narrow way are a succes- sion of moral shocks to his severely j respectable stepfather. The other evening, as young Bert explained, "de ole man hawls off and jess 'natchally frows he am clean down m' froat," but on the 2d proximo Mr. Liver- I pool will be permitted to display the urgent moral necessity which doubt- less, prompted this mild rebuke. Harry Morgan, the Robert street saloonkeeper, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer Welch on a charge of assault and battery. It Is reported that the ownership of Harry's saloon is divided among Morgan and several other men. The partnership has not been altogether harmonious. Various complications have arisen. The saloon has been locked at times by one i partner against the other, and, of | course, the differences have naturally j been accented physically. Hence Mor- gan's arrest. Special Officers Galvin and Davis combined their forces last evening and succeeded in arresting John Stieger, an old German laborer sixty-five years of age, who is supposed to have been taking from the river certain logs be- longing to the Minnesota Boom company. .
