Correspondence of The GLOBE.
FAR1BAULT, Feb. 19.-The quiet little vii
lage of Morristown was thrown into quite
state of excitement last week over the mys
ferrous death of young lady residing in
that vicinity. The circumstances concern
years ago, the young lady, Miss Chaplin by
name, had a severe attack of spinal menin-
gifts, which greatly impaired her health, and
during the past three years has not been as
strong and robust as she was previous to her
sickness, though her general health has been
tolerably good. Last Wednesday evening
she attended temperance meeting which
was held short distance from
her home and was enrolled as one of it's
members. Shortly after returning home
she was taken with severe pain in the head,
which was pronounced to be neuralgia by
her attending physician. The pain was so
great as to cause the bursting of one of her
eyes. She sank gradually away. and on Fri
day night she was to all external
APPEARANCES DEAD.
During the time which elapsed between
her death and the time set for the funeral
rites, which were to be at II o'clock Sunday,
there were evidences of life manifested.
1t is said that she moved her hands
while i'll her coffin; that by holding
looking glass over her face there would be
breath upon the mirror, that her fingers re-
manned flexible, that her cheeks retained an
almost ife-ike appearance. Nevertheless,
as the hour for the funeral was set, it was
thought best to proceed.
Accordingly, the friends and neighbors of
the deceased congregated at the Methodist
church at the appointed time. Long before

Insecurity of the CITY Jail.

The method of lodging tramps at the police
station demands attention. These waits are ac-
commodated by being permitted to lie on the
ioor around the stove in front Of the cells there
being generally at least half dozen every night
The men are usually, if not always, of desper-
ate and unscrupulous character, and in symp-
athy with the prisoners confined in the cells at
whose escape they would only be too willing to
connive. if occasion served. Against such num-
bers, thus conspiring. Tailor Jessrang single
handed as ne is, would be powerless in quelling
an eriente, or an attempt at Jail breaking, and
it would seem to be the duty of those within
whose province the matter lies to provide some
place where the tramps could beseparated from
the prisoners.

II there had been any doubt as to the atti-

now. An Ohio gentleman, who had a con-
versation with him to-day upon the subject
reports that the President will most certainly
veto the bill. The grounds which the Presi-
dent assigned as the basis of his veto were
that, in his opinion, the bill was, first. an in
jury to public credit; second, breach of
public faith: and thirdly, it was unconstitu-
tional i'll that it interferes with vested rights.
and is violation of contracts. Upon the
latter point the President stated that he was

thin that he sits OH pillows and soft cushions
to prevent the bones from coming through

with presentiment of his approaching
death. No Romanoff has lived beyond sixty
years, aud he will be sixty in April. When
his sister died. some two years ago, she re-
minded him of this and told him he must be
prepared to go before he sixty. They
say that her words made great impression
upon him then, and now that he is not well
they constantly recur to him.

70 the Editor of THE GLOBE:
ST. PAUL, Feb. 21.-Mr. Cochrane in his
remarks before the chamber of commerce
on February Goth, thought that they. the
chamber, OF this community, had no right
to consider mans condition, he he mar
r1ed or single. That they could get hun
areds OF men willing to work at reduced
rates. as he, OF other bright reformers might
suggest. He thus offers no Inducements for
married men. or men with families to make
st. Paul their homes. On the contrary
1t helps to drive them away-and virtually
offers premium to the stability of the
soc10! ecst, by forcing salaries so low. that
married 7, men with families cannot live on
the income offered, and single men, if found
Wlillns to take the situations and reduced
salaries. cannot afford to take unto them
selves wives.
Our suggestion to Mr.. Cochrane is unit
reforming and try consistency a while. -

The Gas Company Bill.

The extremity to which the cham.
pions in our Legislature of exclusive
rights and monopoliss carry their pre-
JUDGES in favor Of corporations is stri.
kingly illustrated by tho report Of the
judiciary Committee adversely to
bill repeating the Crescent City Gas
Company. That company was one
of the corrupt aud fraudulent concerns
bequeathed to US by the Wa1moth
dynasty. The company was given a
monopoly of tho privilege Of selling
gas in New Orleans for fifty years at
ter the termination of the charter Of
the old gas company, which had en-
joyed that monopoly for forty years.
This grant was made on the condition
that the company should construct
new gasworks. This was to be done
in ton years. An adventurer from
tho North came down to this city af-
ter it had been decided that the old
gas company terminated in 1875,
bought up q majority Of the stock Of
the Crescent City Gas Company at o
dollar and half dollar a share, "froze

ers, procured the passage of an act Of

to reiterate the vulgar aud slanderons
falsehood of Warmoth that 1.-THE press

who favor it are parties in interest. We
are all parties in interest SO far as re-

ringers and would-be statesmen bring
such charges as these against the entire
class Of honorable and patriotic gentle
men, they either utter a known talsehood
or are too ignorant to know anything
about tho matter of which they aro
speaking, and merit only the contempt
