SWEET CHARITY,

The Reports Of the Ladies' Committees
Who Solicited Aid for the Yellow Fever
Sufferers.
The ladies Of st. Paul, who have greatly
interested themselves for the great benefit
of the yellow fever sufferers, held meeting
at the residence OF Mrs. McMasters on
Fourth street. The object of the meeting
was to receive reports regard
ing the receipts and expenses attending
Gen. Gibbons late lecture, delivered under
their auspices. Quite number of ladies
were in attendance, but they we're not pre-
pared with their reports. The expenses of
hiring the Opera House, gas, etc., had not
been ascertalned. Time was asked, and
granted, to prepare these necessary
reports. The informal statement was
made, that $305 had been collected for the
lecture, from this the expenses would have
to be deducted. Tee ladies have not COM
pleted their good work, and their mission,
though they have given with a full hand, is
not deemed to be ended yet. The stricken
South needs continued help. Thousands of
poor are in need of cl~thing. The ladies
are going to serve in charity's cause still fur
ther to help supply this want.

A PERsECUrED HOUSEHOLD.

Il Good Catholic Faulty IN Ohio Tornented
by Spooks-What Happened to a Priest
Akron, O., Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. |
most remarkable phenomenon has been
developed in the family of Michael Metzler,
hard working plasterer of this city. Sew
eral days since his family moved into brick
house in the suburbs, near that portion Of
the city called 'Hell's Half Acre. Shortly
afterwards some members of the family be-
gan to be assaulted with small pebble-stones,
hurled by invisible agents. These nearly al
ways bit some one of the family or some
person in their presence. Over one hun
dred I'd fifty pebbles have been picked up,
yet 50 far there is no solution to the
mystery.
Father Brown, German Catholic, was
called in to exercise the spirits. but after
concluding his services, couple of the
stones dropped at his feet, creating an
astonishment in his clerical brain that has
kept him in bewilderment ever since. Tue
stones are small pebbles, the largest not the
size of a hens egg. They fall dead on the
floor without bounding particle or rolling
even an inch.
An Inquirer reporter visited the house
yesterday afternoon, last evening, and again
to-day. On the first visit Mrs. Metzler and
her aged mother were at home; while the
former with fearful eyes was telling her
story, a stone dropped from the ceiling be-
fore the eyes of the reporter and his COM
panions, and struck her on the arm. A
neighbor called ir, and the reporter walked
to the door with Mrs. M, when stone fell
and hit him. His companion say she saw it
drop from the ceiling.
Mrs. Metz.er's mother relates that while
driving COW to pasture she was hit By tue
stones fifteen times; little girl, standing in
the cellar stairway, was hit by a stone COM
ing up from the cellar. At night the stones
give warning IF their coming by peculiar
whistling sound. Hundreds OF persons have
gone to witness the phenomenon. and every
possible ISOLATION has been sought, but with
out success. The family is so frightened
that they hardly eat their meals. They are
devout Catholics, and regard the affair as a
curse.
While at the house to-day, with several
other persons, your reporter heard three raps
at the door, and quick search outside re-
yealed one who could possibly have
raped. The family have tired to escape the
stonlng by going to other houses, but they
continue to be rained upon them.

Change In the Fort Smelling Bridge Con-
tract. and Time Extended Until June,
1879.
The bridge commission met yesterday
morning at the county auditors office. There
were present Commissioners Dawson, Lin
deke, Knapheide and Cochran. Engineer
Sewall and County Attorney Rogers were also
in attendance. The secretary read minutes
of previous meeting, from which it would
appear that the original contract had been
modified, changing limestone to sandstone at
$ll.25 per yard, and extending the ii 4.e for
completing the work till June 1, 1879. The
minutes were approved.
The president announced that the United
States engineer had approved of tre Mimi
Mr.. Lindeke-How is the work PROCESS
ing-all right?
Mr.. Dawson-I don't think it is it could
hardly do 80 till the question was settled
about the stone.
Mr.. Cochran presented his bill of expenses
to Washington, itemized even to backing
and gratuity to sleeping car porter, remark
ing there was nothing for cigars and whisky
The bill amounted to $215.52.
Mr.. LindeSe moved that the bill be al
lowed, and the motion was carried.
A bill from Cochran & Walsh for moneys
paid at various times for printing laws, tele-
grams, &C., $37.57, was also allowed.
Berkey's bill for horses for use of Com
missioner Cochran, 81, allowed.
A bill from r. Grace, cros-bars, ETC.,
1910, referred to engineer. ..a
Mr.. Young, of the st. Cloud Granite
works, appeared and asked if the char GO of
contract would affect him IN his contract
with O'Brien & Breen. He had under
stood that Breen had gone out of the job.
Mr.. Cochran-The commissioners do not
know any one but Mr.. O'Brien as party to
the contract. They had nothing to do with
any one else, or the sub-letting of any
part of the work. He could say, however,
that the change in the contract did not affect
the granite in any way-that stood az in the
original contract.
Mr.. Lindeke moved that the modified con-
tract be submitted to G. D. O'Brien and the
county attorney and then presented to the
contractor for signature. The commission
then went into secret session.

A Boiling Horse.

A runaway, two broken wagons, a badly
mashed up boy, two dozen broken bottles of
election beer, all on jackson street, yester-
day afternoon. The beer wagon was driven
by boy named Chris, and belonged to
Haggenmiller, No. 80 Jackson street. Short
ly before the accident, the Haggenmiller out
fit was sent up jackson street to deliver two
dozen bottles of beer. When the horse
neared Sixth street he became frightened,
and plunged off on the dead run. The boy
driver lost entire control of the ami
NAL. just in front of Manning's
grocery store, No. $50 Jackson street, the
runaway collided with Manning's wagon
An upset followed, the boy was thrown out,
and both vehicles badly shattered. The
driver of Haggenmiller's wagon was picked
up and taken home. DR.. Murphy was called
in to attend him. He found that the boy
had recti.el severe bruises about the knee,
his right leg was badly sprained, aid he had
received other contusions of painful but
not dangerous nature. The probability is
that he will be kept in doors for several
days. Both wagons have to be carried off to
a wheelwright's shop for repairs. The horses
escaped without njury, beyond the fright.

Little Nonno, daughter of the Rev. j. J.
Hlllmer, of Winona, while playing with her
sister in the yard fell into cistern, which
had been left open by the girl who was using
the water for household purposes. The
sister, missing the little one. went to look
for her in he street, but not discovering her,
instantly thought of the cistern, where the
child was found lying up,n her back with
her arms extended. Her sister summoned
aid and she was rescued uninjured, though
terribly frightened. The cistern contained
four feet of water, and but for the lucky
chance of falling upon her back the child
would have been drowned, as it was over
four minutes before she was discovered.

Put Through a Course of SprOuts-They
Acquit Ihemselves Creditably.
The inspection of the fire department
made by request of Chief Strong and COM
menced on Saturday, was completed yester-
day. In the absence of Alderman Smith,
Mr.. Strong requested Alderman Dreis to act
as one of the judges. Engine and hose cart
No. we're given similar trial to those
given on Saturday, the hose cart laying 500
feet of PIPE connecting with the engine, I'M
coupling and adjusting the nozzle. This was
done very neatly in ffty-two seconds
twenty three seconds less time than the same
cart did the work on Saturday. The engine
was then tested with the following result:

The water gauge being out of order, no
further registry was taken. AS the wind blew
considerably from the north, the engine was
allowed to throw the stream down the street
toward the market. This gave her the ad-
vantage of the down grade and the wind, and
with these advantages she succeeded
in making distance Of 100
feet. The jet, however, was a
very poor and scattering one-the water
scattering Immediately on leaving the nozzle.
The nozzle used was one inch in diameter.
The Hook and Ladder company were then
put on their trial. They proceeded to the
German Catholic church, whore they were
first required to raise 6O-foot extension
ladder, which was done on the first trial in
l minute, 40 seconds on the second trial it
wassaccomplished in minute, 301h seconds.
1t was then rtised for the third time and q
man assembled to the top in minute, 81
seconds. The ladder weighed $50 pounds
and was handled by only six men-it was usua.
to have ten men for the same ladder. The time
was considered excellent by old fremen, who
applauded heartily as the man grasped the
topmost round. IS feet ladder was then
raised and man sent to the top in 80
seconds nsidered splendid exhibition of
agility. Two % feet ladders were next raised
in the middle of the street, man as
cended each an braced them together in 20
seconds. This concluded the trial, which
everyone competent to judge considered to
be most satisfactory. The judges will re-
port to the common council at their next
meeting.

Farmers of Otter Tail county. Did you
ever consider what Bill Washburn will do If
you elect him to Congress? He is director
a national bank; he is president of the
Minneapolis Il st. Louis railroad; he owns
an interest in two of the largest Touring
mills in Minneapolis; he is interested in the
pine land ring: be is interested in the wheat
rlng! With all these interests, which are
entirely antagonistic to yours, do you, can
you think he will help you? No; never /?
How is it with Mr.. Donnelly, his opponent
What will he do if you elect him? Where
do his interests lie? He is farmer he has
large farm near Morris. he is interested
in low rates for money; he ia interested in
wheat being graded in fair and honest way !;
he is interested in passing laws that will help
the farmer and therefore help himself

Donnelly's recent address in that village,
Hon. w. &. G. Folsom, who has been Re
publican ever since the party was organized,
and who has served more terms in the }egis-
lature than almost any other citizen of Min
nesota, presided at the mee ting and intro
duced Mr.. Donnelly in a somewhat lengthy
speech, in which he said that he had known
MIR. Donnelly ever since he came to Mime
sofa; that be (Donneily) had served three
terms in Congress with distinction and sew
eral terms in the State Senate; that in what
ever position he had been placed by the suf-
fragas of the people he had always faithfully
and ably performed his duties; that he had
ever been the outspoken and fearless friend
of the people, and that the people of the
Third Congressional district could not do a
better thing for themselves than by electing
Mr. Donnelly as their representative.

Hasl.1urn in tn. Wheat Ring.
[Winona Herald.

Whatever may be the final result of the
election of q Congressman in the Third dis
trio, 0 le fact has already been established,
that w. D. Washburn, the Republican cand;-
date for that Office, is CONSPICUOUS member
of a wheat ring in Minneapolis, that it is
organized for the sole purpose of robbing
the farmer who sells his wheat in that
market. 1t is something past finding out if
the people of that district will elect such q
man to Congress, whose sole recommends
ton for the Office is his money, which has
been acquired through soulless corporations
and such combinations as the rich conspire
to make, that they may rob the poor to en-
rich themselves.

And How it Beats the Crowd Every Time.
The judge.
The clerk.
The bailiff.
Three of a kind beat two pair. The three
put their heads together, and after due con-
sideration proceeded to beat Hattie Mcbride
out of $45 for being a femme de joie. She
was not joyful over the amount assessed
against her, and the disruption of the bonds
of love heretofore existing between her and
that kid, Fred Hurst. She can stay in the
town if she leaves Freddy alone, and though
lonely, she has promised to suppress her
aged love for the springtime youth.
The clerk next called Pat Elaherty. Pat
laid down, he was drunk, and the bailiff
raked in the pot of 81.
VIM. Rigney was told to ante up 500 for
bursting i'll Swede Anne's lights. But he
said he'd lever go TO jail for twenty days.
Officer Clouse, whom he had also assaulted,
was willing to go twenty better on the hand
put up against Mr.. Rigney by the judge.
Charles A. Lewis showed up a fine pair
himself and wife. The judge declared he
couldn't ring in marked cards
in that game, and pointed to the
eye OIL Inc queen, Mrs. LOWS,
which her husband had given her. Lewis
couldn't see the raise-of the judges finger,
and passed ont to Jail for thirty days.
BARLEY and Mary Connolly were declared
out of the game. Mrs. Conn. lily,
the mother, and owner of Pound
master Mitchel's favorite COW, sid
she couldn't produce her pair. The judge
whispered to policeman that he'd have to
take lone hand IN this little game against
the whole Connolly family.
"Whist!'' said the police officer, 81 will

John Sullivan and John Corners were
pulled out of the deck, but they were such
dirty cards they were sent to Jail for four
days to remove the stains of whisky off their
faces.

opening OF an EnteItAinm0nL Tor the
Week.
The Catholic Orphan fair was opened last
night at Armory hall. There is never a verv
large attendance on the first night of fair,
for the people are SO accustomed to find
general state of unreadiness 1T the openings
of exhibitions and fairs that they are getting
into the habit of deferring their visits till the
last days. Another reason for the small at
tendance is the change of location, the fair
having been in the past held at Music hall,
and many persons who would attend
we're not aware that it was to be
held at Armory hall. Notwithstanding the
comparatively small attendance on the first
evening, there is no doubt that this fair for
the orphans will be success, as it always
is. Its object recommends it SO strongly to
all peoples and creeds. To provide for the
fatherless children and motheriess waits is
the foremost duty of Christianity and the
first obligation of humanity. The fair to-.
day at Armory hall, Wabashaw street near

To the Editor of the Globe.
Just why this s'sockdolager'' fails to con-
vince me is this: Valentine has charge of
the elevator and is on trial. The n,iliers
have charge of the grades and are on trial.
They give figures which tend to e1culpate
themselves figures which nobody knows to
be true-fgures which are not verified either
by any certificate or oath of themselves or
book keeper. Now the only question is, are
they lying are they capable. of lying? If
man will steal, will he not lie to clear him-
self?
These very respectable gentlemen are
probably all in the same ring. They are all
charged with the crime of roo6eyY-in
genteel way, of course. Is it too much to
suspect that they would lie to clear them
selves? They are vouched for by Bill King,
