with kid-glove Attaclmenta, that some people
seem to consider City Treasurer ought to be.
He Was born In Luxeuhurg, anu WAS first elect

Tue KNEF1Axp WILL. CASE
is in a curious pickle. After Judge Mann de-
cided that the lady bearing the name of the Sui
eide kneelaod Was tha lawful wife, not para
1nour, Of tho deceased, and that she was entitled
Us widow to part OF the large estate left By the
reckless but well-connected young merchant,
the family appealed from the decision on the
ground that the judge er1od IN 50 deciding,

OF S75 per month pending the settlement Of the
estate, and the widow appealed because the al

TUE ST. PAUL RAILROAD OFFICES.
I am informed that the St. Paul Railroad Com
pany will probably Roon build Offices, after all,
aud the source of my information 1eayes no
doubt such decision has been arrived at. It ia
q mistake to suppose that the Offices in the upper
stories of Mr.. Mitche!rs new bank building are
10 be 1eoccupied by the st. Paul Road Mr.
Mitchell has never received anything but q
nominal rent from the st. Paul Road, and
ia the new building he is going to let office
'oofa for d fair rental and, if he were to
ransfer the railroad Offices to the new building
IN the terms he intends charging. his op-
1onents would have chance to cry out that he is
making money uut OF tue road By renting his
,wn Offices to his own Company, and charging
)ig rents. There are to be elxtv to eighty first
lass offices in the new Mitchell building, With
'aults water, gas, ETC., suitable for commission
oen and, If wide corridor is run from the
1hamber of Conma1ce into the new building,
s expected, i. will supply all the of1ice-room ]
hat will he required for some time to coma.
