The Erring Ones Who Confronted Judge
Flint Yesterday, and their Various
Dooms.
John Snow found himself in a cell as a
consequence of a drunk, but night therein
failed to develope much penitence in him,
for, after pleading guilty, he chose the stone
pile alternative for a fine of $3 and costs
with the utmost alacrity. His mother came
weeping into court at 5 O'Clock in the after
noon, beseeching his release, but the Judge
had gone home.
Thomas O'Mara, whose case of assault
upon his friend James Duffy was continued
from yesterday, was discharged on motion
of the city attorney.
The case of John III. Smith for the al
legged assault upon his wife, Cornelia, was
called second time. On the previous day
John only appeared, and yesterday John
was not there, but Cornelia was, and stated
she and John had ''made up The
case was dismissed, and the city attorney d.
rected the clerk of the court to see that no
more summonses against John were issued
at the request of the querulous Cornelia.
When John Paterson came forth to an
swer the complaint of James Kennedy for
usiHS abusive language, the IeStlVe James
could not be discovered, even with micro
scope. and the case was dismissed.
G. V. Smith, accused weeks ago of slaugh-
tering within the city limits, which he en-
deavored to vercome-without avail-by
gaining permission from the common coun-
Gil so to do, was before the court yesterday.
He had evidently been shaking hands with
Gambrinus, so the matter was continued for
another week.

ment OF the former that he is ready to 90 be-
tore the Potter committee to be examined on
the subject of the forged certificates of the
electoral college of the State, is explained as
follows by gentleman from New Orleans:
Inns gentleman says that Gov. Kellogg and his
private secretary, A. Conquest Clarke. now in
ternal revenue commissioner, Raum's stenoe-
1apher, committed the forgeries Kelly, who
Is an extremely intelligent and bright young
mulatto, saw the proceedings. When
Kellogg heard that the Potter com
mlttee was after Kelly he sent Kennedy. who
Is also sharp-witted young man, to New
Orleans, to get Kelly out of the way. The lat
ter realized that he had a chance to make some
thing and be agreed to get a place for Kenne-
dy also. Kennedy is messenger in the Senate
now, but on the 4th of March next he expects
to lose his position. Kelly's demand made
through Kennedy, the price of his silence
are these: certain sum Of money to be paid
down and positions for two friends in the
treasury department. Kelly does not care to
be given an office himself. but he will arrange
with the friends to be given positions to
REIN hurse him. Kennedy wants good
position either in the custom house or internal
revenue office in New Orleans If he is not
cared for be will expose Kellogg. Both Sher-
man and Kellogg have been notified of what is
wanted. and the announcement of Kelly's pres
ence IN Washington was made as a hint to the
secretary of the treasury and the Senator from
Louisiana that their de mands must be com piled
with. 1t is said that Kellogg has protested
against rewarding Kelly and Kennedy until
after they exonerate him before the commit
tee, but the two willy young men refused to
clear the administration dirty skirts until
they are provided for.

THE PAYING QUESTION.
Mr. Mcleod Secures the Patent for the
Stow Pavement in st. Paul and Minne-
aDOlis.

MIR. Mcleod Secures the Patent for the
Stow Pavement in st. Paul and Minne-
apolis.
When the contract for paving jackson
street was let to Capt. Starkey it was upon
the condition that he secured the right to Law
the pavement from the patentee-Mr. Stow,
of Chicago. 1t appears that Mr.. A. A. Nc
Leod. who was also bidder for the work.
took the precaution to secure the refusal Of
the right for this street, and also entered
into negotiations to obtain the right to Law
this pavement on any street in St. Paul or
Minneapolis. Having consummated the
purchase of the patent for the two cities, so
far as future work is concerned, Mr..
Mcleod on yesterday decided also to paw
royalty for Jackson street, for which he
held the refusal. This of course effectually
prevents Capt. starkey from proceeding
with the work.
Mr.. Mcleod has not obtained the rioht
to this patent with an especial view to Sc
curing the Jackson street work, but with
the expectation of generally laying the pave
ment in the two cities. He has had con-
siderable experience in laying pavement in
other cities, and proposes to engage in it
here as permanent business.

HIS TAKING OFF.

Faft Particulars of the Suicide of Id0o,.
II. WatsOn, OF st. Paul, Ia the Black
Hills.
The Black Hills Pioneer contains the follow
ing account of the suicide of Edgar P. Watson.
OF this city, the main particulars of which oc-
currence We're gwen In the GLOBE of Wednes-
day last.
Early yesterday morning, at the moment
when the heavens were livid with electric flame
and from hill to hill reverberated deafenino
roar, the spirit of Edgar A. Watson was pass
ing away, freed from its body by the hand of
self-destructlon. Later in the morning the
door OF his room was opened, and the up
turned paid face of the generous and impulsive
young man and the little vial, labeled lauda-
mum, but empty, revealed all there was hid
den OF the mystery. He was seen but very
little the day before, keeping his room during
most of the day. The drug was probably
taken about midnight. as soon after that time
groans We're heard in the room. At o'clock
ne came into the office of his hotel, the l..
and asked for a drink of water, and was too
weak to ascend the stairs unaided.
Upon his person were found several letters
and bits of paper upon the backs of which
were found scrawled with q lead pencil mis-
slves = sad farewells to his daughter and
friends. The hasty, abruptly broken SEN
fences clearly disclose the terror felt by a mind
looking into eternity.
few words upon note addressed to Little
Pearl throws light upon the immediate cause
of the act:

The wheat market here is gradually develop

the effect that L. Everingham & Co. will
soon be in a position, through enormous pur-
chases to manipulate the market and force
corner on August if they see fit. Some profess
to believe that the gentlemen named are pre-
pairing to manipulate prices. It is hardly nec-
essary to say that both firms deny any such in
tent. They acknowledge heavy orders to buy
continually, but declare that all purchases
are mere investments, and that such purchases
are all on orders. There is little doubt, how
ever that, owing to the enormous oversales of
both August and September wheat a natural

Major McIlrath Runs a Box of the "Oueers'
to Earth and Finds Switch.
Don't mention it to Major McIlrath unless
you are bigger than he is For if you should
ask him how to catch dealers in counterfeit
money, his usual smile might forsake his coun-
tenance, and he might extend his number four
teens in your direction, and the GLOBE would
not be responsible for the consequences.
The story is short. Federal officers are very
naturally anxious to find those who simulate a
virtue though they have it not, especially if
that virtue consist of the greenbacks of the
realm. Deputy Marshal McIrath does not cot
ton to any in his zeal in the detection of Grim
lnals, and hearing, some time ago, that some
body IN st. Paul was in the habit of furnishing
''coneymen' with supplies of spurious green
backs, he engaged stool-pigeon or two.
Among others was one at Red Wing, who proved
neutrality-suspicious. too faithful-to his trust
The he'd Wing chap, named Warren, soon en-
tered into correspondence with somebody in ST.
Paul, and day or two since conveyed the in
formation to McIlrath that he had ordered a
quantity OF the queer which would leave the
city by express yesterday morning. This was
nuts for Mac. He straightway packed a
paper collar and took the train for
Red Wing. He arrived in the natural course of
events, and found at the express Office pack
age which he had reason to suppose contained a
lot of spurious greenbacks. But there was a
charge of $40 on the package and Mac did not
have much money to lay the altar of his
country and so he ordered the package back to
st. Paul as the Red Wing agent wouldn't take
his note at sixty days for the amount He fol-
lowed the precious parcel as far as the express
Office, and there he pounced upon it like a
hawk on June-bug, and carried it away in
triumph. With feelings of ecstatic bliss he
conveyed it to the government build
llngs protected on either side by vigilant po-
lice officer. and in great glee proceeded to break
the fastenings. First came out a lot of waste
paper, evidently packing. Then there was
some more paper u copy of the Pioneer Press
presumably used for packing also. An
other delve into the recesses of the mysterious
package and produced-another copy of the
aforesaid alleged newspaper. few shavings
and part of hair switch-evidently discarded
by 'the woman in black"-completed the out
tit and the box was empty
We repeat the caution: Don't ask McIlrath
how to capture dealers in counterfeit money.

have the wolves for trial of speed and an
exhibition of combativeness during the fair,
if they will merely be at the trouble Of catch
ing them and agree to return them safe and
in good condition. Such an exhibition
would be an interesting feature of the fair
and would afford lively sport for the hounds.
TIME OF ENTRY EXTENDED.
The committee in charge of the bench
show for dogs have decided to extend the
time for taking entries till the 27th inst.
This has been found necessary, as SO many
from a distance have made applications that
the entries could not possibly be received in
time, and as SO many of the local sports
men are now in the field, it will give them a
chance to make their entries on their re-
turn.
The numerous letters received asking the
committee for an extension of time, have de-
cided them to grant it, as they are DESTROYS
to make this representative show of the
best dogs in the country.
A wrong impression seems to prevail that
dog without pedigree will have no chance
to win. This is entirely wrong, as the dogs
are judged from scale of points laid down
by the kennel club, and those possessing the
most points of merit, receive the award, or
in other words, the best looking dog.
The sportsmen's papers published in New
York and Chicago speak very highly of the
prospects of the show.
In addition to the numerous prizes already
announced, the American Powder company,
of Boston, have donated twenty-five pound
key of their famous "Dead Shot" powder, to
be given to the best brace of English settlers.
The Dittman Powder company's prize is to
be given for the best brace of pointers.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Entries were received yesterday by Secre-
tary Judson of five herds Of short horns A
letter was also received from Mr.. c.. A. De
Graft, announcing that he would enter his
entire herd of Attorneys.
President Finch has decided to pillow up
and prepare the old half mile track, within
the mile track, for the use of the thorough
breds to take part in the races in their pre-
liminary gallops.
Manager Farley has made arrangements
for running the railroad track directly into
the grounds, stopping but few feet from
the grand stend. This will prove a great
convenience, especially to shippers of heavy
articles. The passenger trains will be first
class, and fare has been placed at the very
low price of 20 cents for the round trip.
