The McGarrahan Scandal.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The Senate commit
tee on public lands to-day resumed the investi-
CATION growing out of McGarrahan's memorial
and the New Idria quick silver mine. Ex-Gov.
Cook testified that he knew Gomez was the re-
puted owner Of a rancho in the San Juan region,
but did not recollect whether or not he heard
the name of this rancho at the time referred to.
Mr.. Ingersoll having been taken suddenly and
violently i'll, and as he was to have conducted
the cross-examination of Mr.. McGarrahan, it
was agreed the session should continue for re-
ceiving documentary evidence offered by the
New ldria company, and identified by the clerk
OF the United States supreme court. A num-
Der of documents submitted in behalf of Nc
Garrahan were also identified.
After recess, Shaw, of counsel for McGarra-
han, said he was not ready to proceed with the
cross-examination of McGarrahan on account
of the illness of his associate, Ingersoll, who
was at present in the committee room sur
rounded by his family. The submission of
correspondence argument Of counsel presen-
tati0n of McGarrahan for short time as q wit
ness and the introduction of the following
resolution, the argument thereon to be heard
Mon day, occupied the committee for the day.
The resolution is follows:
RESOLVED, That in the future no testimony
be received in this case touching the proceed
ings in courts as to this cause and all testimo-
ny be restricted to the question whether Gomez
ever had a valid grant, or that he had such
equities as would entitle him to perfect a
grant to the land III controversy and all testi-
mony heretofore taken rot bearing upon this
question, be, and the same is hereby excluded.

Postal Contract s,yi,,1zes.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The House commit
tee postoffices and post roads met at the post
Office building to-day. Notary Public Boone
was recalled, and testified that he had bid in
the recent letting for over 400 routes, aggregat-
ing nearly 100000. His only wealth was in
his ability and his credit. He assisted Peck &
Miner in getting up bids, and in gathering in
formation on which to base the amount of
bids, and in return they provided bondsmen
for him. 1t appears Boone signed the bonds,
while the names of the witnesses to his sigma
ture were not added till afterwards, and repre-
sented men with whom he was unacquainted.
Proposals were made out and GER
titled, and dates were added afterwards,
and other conditions changed so that
parties to such afidavits could not be
held to answer for perjury. Representative
Cannon, of the committee was very severe on
Boone in regard to his lax business habits. He
asked witness if with such practices in view he
regarded himself as equally honest now as
when under government employ and Boone re-
piled he did. Other members of the committee
showed considerable curiosity in regard to
Boon's life and doings in Tennessee, from
which State, as he testified, he was driven
away as carpet Dagger, having sunk or aban-
doned a quarter of million of dollars. He also
testified that when he came to the
State from Ohio few years before, he
was worth about $4,000. Irregularities in
proposals were shown which, in the opinion of
some of the committee, would make their bids
invalid, and should be communicated to the
postmaster general. Boone contended they
were ordinary practices among contractors,
etc.; that the condemnation of these proposals
would do away with q large proportion of those
accepted in the recent letting, and that the
same strictness should not be required in re-
spect to the preliminary bond, providing it was
IN correct and legal form, as in ordinary afi-
davits, since other bonds must be prepared and
accepted by the department., which would make
all secure.

RUM AND RUIN.
Attempted Suicide of a Once Well to do
Business Man.

Attempted Suicide of Once Well to do
Business Man.
Many residents of St. Paul will remember
man named John Manning, who was en-
ployed as ad vertising solicitor upon one OF
our city papers about two years ago. The
last event in his career is thus told in the N.
Y. Herald, of the 28th inst:
ga dramatic scene of attempted suicide
occurred yesterday morning at the residence
of Mr.. Frederick Pentz, No. IL West Eigh-
tenth street, a few doors from Fifth avenue.
Some yeart ago John Manning, young and
prosperous Iishman, married daughter of
Mr.. Pentz, and for time they lived happily
together. Manning was an Advertising
insurance companies and mercantile houses.
He had an Office at No. $40 Broadway, and
was considered to be upon the road to for
tune. For what reason does not appear, but
he took to excessive drinking, after which
came a decline of his business and domestic
troubles, which led to suit for divorce, be-
gun by Mrs. Manning about two years ago.
The matters has been in the courts ever
since, and Mrs. Manning went home to her
fathers house to live, taking with her two
children, who have been left in her custody
by order Of the court, pending settlement
of the divorce proceedings. The husband
continued his excuses, and yesterday
morning rang the door bell of his
father-in-law's house aud asked to be admit
ted. He was intoxicated and the servant
who answered the summons showed him to
the parlor and informed his wife of his pres
ence. He demanded to see his children, and
was loud IN his abuse of those who he said
kept them from him. His wife, when she
learned of his presence in the house, locked
herself in her apartments and refused to see
him. The other inmates becoming alarmed
for their safety, despatched servant for
policeman. Officer Weeks, of the twenty
ninth precienct. happened to be in the neigh
hood, and accompanied the servant. He en-

1t Wasn't Much of Shower, and Both Re
Pat Connelly's trial was promptly resumed
at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, in the mu-
nicipal court. Thanks to the energetic tao
tics of the county attorney, the prosecuting
witness was on hand for once, but, as partly
foreshadowed in yesterdays GLOBE, his testi-
mony didn't amount to much. County At
torney Rogers appeared for the State, and
G. D. o. Brien, Esq, for the defense.
Being sworn, James II. Farrell substan-
TALLY said that, on march 18th, after the
conclusion of the Adelphia performance, he
was invited to go into the wine-room. In
about five minutes, Connolly, who appeared
to be under the influence of liquor, came in
and said 81 want to see you
The two then went out on the
stage, when Connolly said it was
against the rules for witness to be be-
hind the stage, and ordered witness out
The witness, while turning to 60 out, was
caught by Connolly, who drew his revolver,
and, pointing it up, said, sect out.' Con
nelly made q motion to strike, when the wit
ness resisted. Connolly left the stage
and witness followed. There was no
shooting, but witness was hit
hard enough upon the head to
knock him down. Witness supposed there
would be a row, there being many perform
ers present, who wanted to get the witness
out. The pistol did not scare the witness, as
he knew Connolly could not fire it. Connel.
ly's brother, Frank, stood behink the wit
ness, but the witness did not see either Of
the Kelly's present. The witnessed had nc
connection with the concern, but paid his
way in.
Cross-examined by Mr.. O'Brien-C Connolly
did not threaten to shoot; didn't know if he
tried; he pointed at my face, and witness
was not afraid because they had always been
| friends. Witness thought Connolly was full
that he was locking until he struck; didn't
know that the pistol was loaded. Witness
had hold of his two canes all the time, and
did not struggle with Connolly.
| Thomas Koran, one of the boys visiting
| the Adelphia, being sworn, testified sub
! stantially that he saw the scuff1e but saw nc
revolver, but stated there was general row
all around.
This closed the evidence, and the court
commented upon the fact that, with com.
plant of serious character being made
when the case was brought for trial, nobody
seemed to know anything. The case would
have to be dismissed, but the court believed
the prosecuting attorney would be justified in
bringing the matter before the grand jury
to ascertain if perjury had been committed
or felony compounded.
James 81. Farrell was then arraigned fol
contempt of court in not appearing or
Friday as witness. This was explained
away by the defendant stating he had beer
informed by his brother, while or
the way to testify, that the case had beer
dismissed. The court then dismissed the
action for contempt, and the Immaculate
Farrell and the white washed Connolly
stepped forth, for the time being.

Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-03-31

LONDON, March 30.--The Times Rome
special says: Pope Leo's allocution, deliv-
cred at the consistory Thursday, gives the
Italians general satisfaction. The allusion
to the church's captivity is very mild. His
holiness expresses no intention to struggle
for the recovery of his temperatures. The
main stress of the allocution is laid on the
relations which it is intended should exist
between the Pope and cardinals. The
SACRED COLLEGE
typifes the council of seventy, called by
Moses to be his assistants and advisers in
the government of the people of Israel. He
wishes the cardinals to be his bystanders and
fellow laborers, and lest it should be thought
that merely unmeaning words fell from his
lips, he expresses all the reliance he puts on
their wise counsel,
TRUSTING AND BEGGING
it may never fail him. It was the dearest
wish of the council of Trent that the admin
istration Of the universal church should rest
on the council of cardinals. This, says the
Times correspondent, is a clear hint of re-
turn to the
OLD CONSTITUTION OF THE CHURCH,
and the reference to the council of Trent
seems plainly intended as repeal of the
Vatican council, which by declaring Pope
Plus TX infallible, entitled him to dispense
with the advice of either the college or coun-
Gil. To the vatican synod itself, to the pro-
clamation of the
! DOGMA OF INFALL1BIIITY,
or of that of the Immaculate conception.
and to all the acts of Plus TX, except the
reconstruction of the Scottish hierarchy, no
allusion whatever is made in the allocution.
The acts of the deceased Pope has been
sanctioned by the church, and must stand, but
Pope Leo seems to think that the least
said about them will be,the soonest mended.
By his choice of cardinal Di Pietres, one of
the youngest and decidedly the most liberal
of the cardinals, as Camerlingo, the Pope
confirms The hope of those conciliatory
views which were always thought to animate
him and which were expected to actuate his
policy in his dealing with civil powers.
