The Capital City F1ourine Mills.

Since Messrs E. T. and John T. Archi-
bald of Dundas, became interested in the
Capital City Touring mills, situated lust
above ELEVATOR A., Third street, several inn
portant changes, additions, or improvements
have been or are being made.
Among the additions are more burrs increas-
ing the capacity of the mills, while new puri-
flers of the most improved manufacture have
been put in, and other improvements made
for increasing the capacity of the mills and
improving the quality of the -four. An i'm
portant change in the interests of economy,
made by the new company, is the establish
ment of factory for the manufacture of the
barrels required by the mill. This has been
located in the large frame, corner of Eighth
and Washington streets, formerly occupied
by the st. Paul steam tobacco works. This
foctory will employ about fifteen men steadi-
ly, thus adding quite an addition to the man
ufacturing INDUSTRIES of the city. Other
improvements and enlargement of the mill
are in contemplation, with view of making
it the most complete property of the kind in
the State. the idea of the proprietors being
to make the Capital City mills brand of -four
in all respects equal to the famous Archi-
bald brand of flour at Dundas.

INVESTIGATING THE ASYLUM.
Another Day Among the Figures-Som
Curiosities Revealed, as Usual.

Another Day Among the Figures-Some
Curiosities Revealed, as Usual.
Yesterday was the least interesting day of
the whole time the Senate Investigating
Committee have been in session. There was
no meeting in the morning, and it was two
o'clock in the afternoon before any of the
members got together. At that time Sena-
tors Drew, Morton and Rice met in the State
library at the capitol, and with them were
also Secretary Smith and Mr.. Dryer, steward
of the asylum. Three hours were
spent by the committee in the
work of looking over vouchers with about the
same results which have met the inquiries of
the Senators day after day during the whole
of this lengthy and searching overhauling.
Snyder & Damrens voucher for 1856. 90
for carpenter work on tool shed fourteen
feet by twenty, and Downs Brothers voucher
for $4,000 for stone work on the same
was put down for enquiring into. Senator
Drew thought it a waste of money to adver-
tise in the Tribune days of meetings of
trustees when postal card at cent would
answer the purpose. One of Mr.. Kerr's
vouchers was a curiosity. It was dated Nov.
3Oth and read. 'To interest on hospital
scrip, for which no appropriation was made,
$3, 7O1.27." At the foot, the receipt was
made out in full but not signed. A ''jump
seat'' wagon 1876, a horse $3.50, followed by a
livery bill for buggy and team hire $4,000,
were the occasion of some comment. Cigars
$14.5O, Mr.. Dryer said were bought
for theatrical and concert people
who give entertainments free to patients.
Mrs. Swift's land was fenced by the trustees
at an expense to the State of $40. 1t was
explained in foot note to the voucher that
hospital cattle were pastured on Mrs. Swift's
land. In coming across another of Straits
vouchers for milage, etc., Mr.. Drew men
toned the fact that some of the county pa
pers had stated that the investigating COM
mtttee mad charged mileage during the
present investigation. Mr.. Drew wanted it
understood that on the first day of their
meeting, the committee had all agreed not
to charge mileage, as they had passes in their
pockets.
1t is expected that Rev. Kerr will appear
before the committee and tell what he knows
about bookkeeping.

The White Earth Mill.

Indian Agent Ruffee received but two
responses yesterday to his advertisement Of
fering a contract for erecting milldam and
Touring mill on the White Earth river. G.
P. Wilcox, of Detroit, Mimi, proposes to do
the whole work for $4,915. j. K. Robinson,
of Washington, D. c., proposes to build the
mill only for $4,000. The fund appro-
priated for dam and mill is $4,000. The
two bids will be referred to the Indian Office
at Washington for the approval or rejection
of MIR. Wilcox's bid. This is the second
time Mr.. Wilcox has been the lowest bidder
for the White Earth dam and mill. Under
the late agent, Mr.. Stowe, the location of
the mill was fixed on the White Rice
river, where the dam was destroyed by
floods, and the first contract was suspended,
on which account and because the Wild
Rice was too far from the principal Indian
settlements, Mr.. Ruffee proposes to build
the mill on the White Earth river. The
GLOBE has only to add that if the Indian
office desires to have competition for its
contracts it should designate the GLOBE to
do it's advertising.

Mr.. Henry Breidert was awarded the con-
tract for furnishing the pals and dippers
required, for the same reason.
The matter of furnaces for the Neill school
was postponed to meeting to be held to-day
at 5 P. NJ.
The report OF the committee on German
was adopted, except as to appointing
French teacher. The report recommended
the retention of the same teachers of the
branch of study employed last year, though
at reduced salaries.
The committee reported in favor of the
employment of Mr.. j. B. A. Paradis, a
teacher of French, Mr. Benz supporting the
recommendation of the committee in earnest
remarks.
Mr.. j. Donnelly nominated DR.. j. E. Festi
for the position, and spoke earnestly in
favor of his, Festi's employment, as a gen
tleman in every way competent for the posi-
ton, and for which he was highly recon-
mended by some of the best known and
most enlightened citizens of the city.
After the remarks a ballot was had, but
no choice being had, further consideration
was, upon motion of Mr.. Donnelly, post
poned to the adjourned meeting to be held
at P. M. to-day, to which hour the board
soon after adjourned.

John X. Davidson, from the soliciting
committee, reported 81, 630.02 as subscribed,
leaving $332.50 uncollected. The subscrip-
ton was referred to the finance committee,
with instructions not to print the list until
the delinquent collections had Teen made.
Gen. Sibley offered the following resolu
ton, which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this chamber,
and of the citizens of st. Paul generally, are
due and are hereby rendered Geo. R. Finch.
Esq, President of the State Agricultural soci-
ETY., d. w. Ingersoll, ESQ.,, Vice President, and
the other members for the energy and ability
displayed by them in conducting the affairs of
the late State fair in this city to q successful
issue-in the face of formidable obstacles and
difficulties, and that this resolution be pub
ished in the daily papers.
Mr.. Ingersoll said he desired to return
thanks to the citizens for the very generous
aid extended. Without the support given
by the citizens the fair could not have been
made what it was. He desired to say that
the only portion of the expend itures for
which he was responsible was the erection
of buildings.
A vacancy OH the committee on finance
was filled by the appointment of VIM. L..
Banning.
The following letter was sent in by Mayor
Dawson:
JACKSON, Miss, Sept 2, 18S8.-To all whom
it may concern, greeting: Mr.. A. F. Arnold, a
citizen of Jackson, Miss, is authorized to re-
ceive any and all subscriptions that may be
given him for Jackson, Miss. It is true that
the yellow fever is not an epidemic in our city
yet. but all of those who were able have left
the city, and the poor laboring, especially the
freedmen, are still in the city. They are de-
pendent upon their daily labor for support.
All business has suspended. The merchants
have closed their places of business and are not
ordering any supplies, and if these poor crea-
lures had the means to purchase supplies they
could not get them. The agricultural commu-
tiles who but few days ago would have been
willing to have employed them, now say they
must not come upon their premises. Their
condition from now until frost is deplorahle
indeed. They are willing to work, but there is
no employment for them. Sickness and starva-
tion stares them in the face. You cannot ap-
preciate our condition. Although we have, as
yet, had but one case of yellow fever, we are
as desolate as is the town of Grenada or Vicks-
burg. Everybody that had the means has left,
and l am absolutely alone. This appeal is
made, not for myself. but for poor unfortu-
nate race who are not able to help themselves.
(Signed) JOHN MCGILL,
Mayor of Jackson.
The letter was referred to the committee
on finance and the board adjourned.

The New Fire Alarm.

Messrs Birge and Williams, of the firm of
Birge, Williams g. Co., proprietors of the
new Fire Alarm Indicator, invented and per-
fected by the gentlemen named, have Just
arrived here from Cleveland, Ohio, where
they presented the Indicator to the attention
OF the chief engineers of the fire departments
of the United States in session there. Five
other patent alarms were on exhibition at the
same time, but SO apparent was the advan-
tages presented by the st. Paul invention,
that it was given hearty endorsement as
the best, most simple and practical machine
OF the kind yet invented. Messrs. Birge
and Williams are to be congratulated.
