Pack Peddlers Plucked.

Yesterday, Philip Steinberger and Samuel
Halstein reported at police headquarters
that they had been robbed the night before.
They stated that they were peddlers and had
lifted off their packs the night before.at the
Minnesota house on Rosabel street for a.
nights lodging. Together they had
gone to bed. Yesterday morning
they got up and found they
were out the amount of $12 on the even di-
vide. Looking around they saw window
up, which the night before was closed; also
the door was unlocked, which the night be-
fore was fastened. They were greatly dis
tressed at their loss, land asked assistance from
the police to catch the thieves and recover
the money. Later in the day party was
arrested by Officer DeCorsey on suspicion,
but he proved his whereabouts, and was re-
leased.

Comptroller Roche Makes q Few Points
and Shakes up Engineer Sewell.
As is his custom, the GLOBE man dropped
into the city comptroller's Office yesterday.
The comptroller and the GLOBE man
shook.
Then with an eye to business the g. m. cast
his eye around for an item. His eyes fell
upon the outspread GLOBE, with the proceed
ings of the board of public works on the
previous day uppermost.
81 see you have been reading the board
proceedings?''
eyes,
3And you've doubtless taken into account
estimate No. II In favor Of Boyer s. Lux for
grading on Rice and Iglehart streets?'
'sYes.''
ssAnd along with it, you've probably read
the engineers remarks about your 'incen-
sistency' in auditing similar estimate, but
declining to entertain this one. and another
like it for the grading of Ohio street?'
''Yes-now just look here and judge for
yourself
Then Comptroller Roche wrestled with a
big heap of papers and pulled out from the
lot an estimate No. Is for the Broadway
sewer; then laid beside it the Ohio street
grading estimate, then he explained:
"The reason declined to audit the Ohio
and Cabot street estimate was because per
cent. was deducted, not 15 per cent. as re-
quired by ordinance. Look at the estimate
Thereupon the GLOBE looked and discov-
cred that per cent. was deducted, that no
amount was specified to be reserved for any
special purpose, and that the whole affair
was certified as correct by the city engineer,
who further declared the contract finished
according to specifications excepting as to
time.
s.Now look!''
The GLOBE got the focus and saw an es-
innate for the Broadway sewer. The city
engineer had certified thereon the compile
ton of the work excepting catch basins, and
had specially reserved $3.50 from the total
amount to finish these catch basins in the
spring, when the ground was not frozen
CHOW look!''
The GLOBES vision fell upon another
estimate in the Broadway sewer
matter in which $3.50 of the above
mentioned $3.50 was ordered to be paid the
contractor, reserving specially $500 for the
specific purpose of fnishig tie catch basins.
"Now," added the comptroller, ''you can
see that when the retained amount is speci-
fed, and the purpose for which it is retained
stated, that account is audited; when 5 per
cent. or any other amount is de
Quoted, and the purpose not specified,
that account is not audited. The Ohio
street estimate, and the late estimate for
Rice and Iglehart streets have this defect.
The contracts require Is per cent to be re-
tanned, if the work is not accepted. How
could I account for the payment of 10 per
cent, when only 5 per cent. was deducted
Am I inconsistent?''
The GLOBE man made no answer to this,
but puts the facts just as they are to let
others Judge.

Yesterday the Webb -Wirth horse contro-
versy was revived in the municipal court.
Isaac W. Webb was arraigned on the charge
of having concealed four mortgaged horses
Messrs. 3. P. Rogers, county attorney, w.
w. Erwin and w. P. Warner appeared for
the State, and Messrs. G. D. O'Brien and
Ed. Hollinshead did the honors for the de-
fendant
The case opened with motion
by defendants counsel to dismiss the
case on the grounds that the charge as laid
alleged nothing criminal. The court denied
the motion, and then the testimony for the
prosecution was adduced. At this defendants
counsel again moved for the discharge of
their client, holding that nothing had been
proved against him. It was contended that
the chattel mortgaged property should not be
removed from the State; this had not been
done. Further. if moved at all, the prosecu-
ton had failed to show whether permission
were given or denied for the removal. The
court took the same view Of the matter and
ordered Webb's discharge. This is another
chapter of the "hoss trade.''

PROeREss ZOE sE. PAU1.

After weary years of waiting and accom-
modations adapted to barbarism rather than
civilization, st. Paul is to have union pas
senger depot. AS if to make amends for
past neglect the railroads are planning for q
magnificent structure one hun
dred and sixty feet wide by
eight hundred feet in length. The loca-
tion at the foot of Sibley street could not be
improved upon. Sibley street is the best
grade of any street reaching the levee. The
horse cars will have to be extended but two
blocks to reach the union depot.
and, in fact, the proposed arrange
ment offers every facility to the pub
lie which could be asked or desired.
The proposed Union Depot and Transfer
Company organization, is not only i'm
portant in securing depot accommodations
for the public, but it is of incalculable ad-
vantage in giving facilities for transacting
the railroad business of the city. It en-
braces every foot of railroad within the
corporate limits of this city and all that may
be laid in the future. It will enable new
roads to come in on equitable terms, with
out enormous expenditures for right of way.
It will facilitate business in every way, as
fewer tracks will be required through n the
streets, and all roads will have the right to
use every track within the city. It will
facilitate the establishing of union stock
yards, lumber yards, manufactures, etc.
There will no longer be question whether
any particular road can reach any particular
point. Wherever track is laid all roads
will have access. The formation of this
organization marks a new era in the business
of ST. Paul.
The happy adjustment of all difficulties
between the Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
st. Paul &, Sioux City roads, is another event
Of Importance. The joint use of tracks
and right Of way which has been agreed upon
will facilitate the construction both of
the Sioux City shops and the shUt line to
Minneapolis. 1t does more, as it leaves the
way open for other lines to come into st.
Paul by the same route, and opens the door
for railroad connections, which will prove of
untold advantage.
Altogether, the people of St. Paul can
view with complacency the results of the
past week. ST.. Paul has entered upon new
era.

The New York journals, religious and

erend Talmage for his sensational sermons
on the neither side of metropolitan life.
They pronounce his efforts simply an adver-
tisement of the glittering haunts of vice he

Perhaps these papers are right. At any rate,
