INCENDIARY FIRE.

The Osborn Hay Pressing Esfablishn,e en-,
Burned Last NigAt--Loss $1,000; In
surn1ace about 81 500.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock last night
an alarm of fire was sounded from box 49,
1t was occasioned by the breaking out of an
incendiary fire in the warehouse and hay
pressing establishment of J. E.. Osborn, 10.
Gated at the Washington avenue crossing OF
Bassett's creek. Mr.. Osborn is the proprietor
of feed store in Nicollet House block on
Hennepin avenue, and the fire was in the
building in which he presses and bales hay
and straw.
The building contained some fifteen hun
dred bales of hay and straw and q
hay press. Mr.. Osborn counts his
loss at almost 81 800 and claims to have an
insurance of $3.50 or $500. The company
could not be ascertained, but the policy il
from E. B. Ames' insurance agency in this
city.
This is the third time in three years that
the same establishment has been burned
once in the fall of 1875, and again in April,
1877. The confagration was quick and
strong and at 1890 the fremen, who were
promptly on hand, had the fire completely
under control.

MORE LIGHT.

That is Vnut Min,aeapolis Wants---The
| Contract With the Gas C0a,ipnnU---H0sO
Much Is Made by Not Complying With
the Co,tract?-- Wilt the City Council See
1t by "ThOse LnntPs?"
Friday night was another blessed season
of absolute darkness, SO far as the Minneap-
oils Gas company's lights were concerned.
According to the almanac there should have
been moon that would have given ample
light for all purposes, but the Ruler of
the Universe, in His infinite wisdom,
decided to call up the clouds and
place them as veil 'over the face of the
the face of the earth. At least, such was
the case from early in the evening until O:3O
P. M, at which latter hour the GLOBE repre-
sentative sought his couch.
That it may not pass entirely out of the
public mind, the GLOBE will refresh the
memory of the Minneapolis Gas company
with one of the numerous conditions of
their contract with the city of Minneapolis
This agreement provides that the gas COM
pany ''shall, and will, during the full term of
one year from and after the first day of March,
| 1878, light and keep lighted and burning all
the public street lamps in said city Of Mime
apOlls which are connected with and supplied
from the gas mains9 at the hours of every night
between twilight in the evening and daylight
in the morning during said year, except only
such nights as the moon shalt be present anil
shining, md so far ,tnobsc,lye0 6y clouds as TO
light the streets Of said city equal to gas lamps
| ALI. THE TIME from twilight in the evening until
after midnight
The terms of the contract would seem to
be explicit enough. Certainly an ordinary
business man need not make any mistake in
his Interpretation of an instrument so plainly
drawn as this one. But the exact truth is
that this wise provision has been and now is
quietly ignored by the gas company, and tax
payers who foot the bills are permitted to
wallow home through mud and mire, and
sleet and snow, and rain, on every
nigt when the Lord interposes the show of
his clouds between the moon and the earth.
Tie GLOBE has no quarrel with the gas
company or any member thereof, but for
four years the writer hereof has seen the
provisions of that company's contract with
the city quietly ignored, and the public
treated as though it had 10 rights in the
premises. And now it is the deliberate pur-
pose of the GLOBE to call public attention
| to the fact Oh every night when
lamps should be lighted and are not.
Will not the city council take cognizance of
the violation of contract by the Gas COM
pany, and instruct the committee on gas to
discover, if possible, why the plain and ex-
plicit terms of the gas contract have been
and continue to be dead letter when
applied to the Gas company. More anon.

The Railroad,

Matters appear to have been amicably set
tied between the corporators of the Mime
sofa Eastern and the other contending lines.
The local company will go forward and con-
struct their line according to programme,
using the money furnished by the G. St.
2. q NJ, and after its completion the local
company will still retain control thereof, and
grant the privilege of use to all roads center
ing in this city. It is to be arranged,
however, that the new road
is to to have the same courtesies granted to
it as the other roads. It is a fixed fact,
therefore, that Minneapolis will soon be the
western terminal point of the West Wiscon-
sin line.
The enterprise of the GLOBE in giving the
news to the public made some of the cor
porators unhappy for brief moment; but
then mill men know a great deal more about
grinding flour than they do about running a
newspaper. They are not to be reproved fol
what they don't know.

THE SPIRITUALISTS.

Second Day of the State ConUe,etto,s--A
Large attendance From 44brOad--Inte,-
esti'10 Proceedings Yesterday---PyO-
gran,n,e for To-day.
The second day of the State Spiritualists'
convention was much more largely attended
than the first, there having arrived on the
late trains Friday evening quite large num-
Der from the surrounding towns and cities
The session was opened by conference
meeting of one hour, participated in by
E. V. Wilson, Mrs. Hanscom, President
Martin, Mrs. Severance, Mrs. Ingalls, and
others. The convention then listened to
Miss Susie NJ. Johnson, of Michigan, who
commenced the regular session by reading q
poem entitled "The workers win.'' Miss
johnson then took the stand, and for an
hour or more addressed the convention in
most impressive manner. Miss johnson is
one of the finest platform speakers the
GLOBE representative has ever had the good
fortune to hear, and but for the crowded
state of our columns full abstract of her
remarks would appear.
Miss johnson was followed by E. V. Will
son, who spoke specially upon the points of
difference between the Spiritualists and
Christians on the one hand, and Scientific
Materialists on the other. His remarks were
fair and candid but plain and to the point.
After the close of Mr.. WIS remarks the con-
vention adjourned until o'clock p. NJ.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention was called to order
promptly on time by President Martin, after
which the customary conference of one hour
was had.
Mrs. Brewster then read short essay
on Spiritualism, Free Love, Development,
&c. She was followed by E. w. Kyle, who
declared himself neither Spiritualist or
Christian.
=. V. Wilson closed the session with a
thirty minutes assault on Orthodox Chris
tianity.
In the evening Mrs. Severance delivered
an address of about thirty minutes, after
which e. V. Wilson devoted an hour and
more to a test seance. The GLOBE repre-
sentative was not present, but some of Mr..
