W nich tho Sequel Proves was . Dolirious
Young Lady.
~ was the silent hour when graveyards arc
supposed to yawn, and the inhabitants thereof
are said to unloose tho oerements of the sep
ulohre to fret the dreams of slumber-enwrap-
peo mortality, whom the belated pedestrians
VINO happened to be in tho vicinity of St. Jo-
sephs academy, on Wednesday evening last,
were startled by the appearance Of singular
appsrition.
!, IL was arrayed in flowing garments and bore
the sembiance of the female form divine. and
ana as 1t moved with measured tread along the
darkhng streets, it inspired the dread impress
sion tnat 1t was the restless wrath of damned
soul IN quest of its destroyer.
1t was observed by several timid pedestrians,
on the approach Of whom it would stretch
forth lts pale arms Is if to implore aid or pro.
tectloh: The hrst man encountered suddenly
remembered that he had business in another
direction, upon the approach of the apparition.
ana the second man got near enough to the
vision to see that it looked like y woman,
whereupon he retraced his footsteps for assist
ance.
The gentleman in question hurriedly returned
accompanied by an acquaintance, and the Curl
Gus twain cautiously advanced to the vision.
On nearing the apparition it was observed to
culver as if seized with q fit of ague.
Suddenly voice broke on the profound
quiet of the "stilly night was the sweet
and pathetic voice of q woman.
She spoke in appealing language and the
tones were tremulous with fright.
If the minds of the gentlemen present had
been hitherto racked with uncertain and RAJ
tional doubt concerning the substance or mis-
sion OF the apparition, all such feelings were
now dlspelled, and they made bold to approach
The vision. It materialized into beautiful
young LADY of tender years, and, ~ afterwards
learned, her wanderings and the motives which
actuated her strange freak, may be described
as follows:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Cantieni, a we'll
known business man of Minneapolis, brought
his daughter Rosa to this city, the object
being to have her admitted to st. Joseph's
academy. The young lady had been in deli
cate health, and she was brought to the acade-
my upon the advice of friends, who thought
that the splendid treatment given her under
the tender care of the sisters would materially
benefit her condition.
The young lady appeared perfectly contented,
and while in the academy her health seemed to
constantly improve. About midnight on We'd
nesday evening, however, she arose from her
bed in a bewildered state of mind, and man
aged to escape from her room by way of the
window, reaching the ground by descending a
tree that grew by the easement When found
by the gentleman, as described, she was in
search of the residence of Mr.. g. Caviezel, an
old friend of the family. She was accompanied
to the home of the latter on Marshall avenue.
ard the day following Mrs. Caviezel escorted
the young lady to her fathers residence in
Minneapolis. -

Want the Papers Recorded.


An application and affidavit for an order of
mandamus was fled in the Office of the district
court yesterday afternoon by Allis & Allis, at
torneys for Julia D. Ashton, to compel the
register of deeds to record the sale or transfer
ofcertain real estate located in Ramsey county.
The affidavit sets forth that on Sept. 21st,
1877, certain parcel of valuable real estate
was transferred by Mary Jane Ashton to her
sister, Julia D. Ashton, for which warranty
deed was duly signed and executed.
It is further alleged that = quit claim deed
to all rights in the property was given to
Julia D: Ashton by l. A. Ashton,
owned certain interest in the property, the
same having been given in October, 1877. The de-
PENDANT sets forth that the quit claim deed has
never been recorded, to the imminent danger
of irreparably injuring the owner of the prop
erty, which is regarded a. very valuable. In
conclusion it is stated that the instruments
were rendered the register of deeds on the 10th
inst, and that he refused to receive or record
them.
A GLOBE reporter called on Capt. Drehr, reg
lister of Deeds in order to obtain his side of the
story, and in reply to query he explained that
he had refused to record the instruments for
the reason that they did not show that the taxes
and assessments had been paid, a. required by
law. He also stated that the county attorney
had been apprised of the proceedings, who will
take such measures in the premises as may
seem necessary. The question is one that in
wolves constitutional principle, and a final
decision of the courts will be anticipated with
unusual interest.

BRUTALITY BEATEN.

Sad Experience of a Minneapolis Lad in
Exploring Carver's Cave-Set Upon by
Drunken Tramps and Terribly Pounded.
Damp weather, yesterday. In consequence
Of the damp weather yesterday four boys, Mike
Foley, Peter Martin, John Irvine and Ed. Con-
nelly, all OF Minneapolis, concluded to take
an excursion to St. Paul. The four boys
named. all of Minneapolis, are boot
blacks. A damp day, as was yesterday, was
good day for an excursion for them. They
could spare the the time from business for
pleasure. The quartette of excursionists in
due time arrived here and began to do the
city. The boys somehow had heard of Car
ver's cave, below the transfer house, and rife
for adventure, concluded to 20 down and give
the cave thorough exploration.
In naming the party Of excursionists Mike
Foley heads the list. He is the biggest of the
FOUR headed the party and got a head put on
him, as the sequel will show. With Foley in
the lead the boys got to the cave. They found
party ahead of them there-three tramps.
These fellows had possession
Of the tramp.' retreat. and
evidently had been enjoying caronse; one
OF the tramps encouraging the boys to come in,
but no sooner had they entered the cave than
Mike Fooley, the bootblack, was seized by tive
of the tramps, and he was commanded to give
up all the money he had. He had
none. A damp day is bad day
for dimes; shines are not abundant
on rainy days: Finding the boy had no money
with which they, the tramps, could continue
their debauch, the towards beat him in MUIR
derous way. Not content with this, they
robbed him Of his coat. hat and shoes, and
thus stripped and bruised they turned
Foley out in the rain. No sooner was
Foley seized than his comrades fed in
alarm, yet had sense enough to
implore assistance for their companion from
party of twenty railroad hands at work near
at hand: To their appeals these creatures were
wholly deaf, they declined interfering, though
Foley's cries and the cruel blows being inflict-
ed could be heard. Despairing of succor from
such crowd. Peter Martin made good
speed to police headquarters and re-
ported the outrage. Officers Murphy
and johnson were dispatched to the cave, and
fortunately the tramps were so far gone in
liquor, that they were captured. On reaching
the station they showed up a. three of the
most rascally and brutal looking creatures of
their class, and were booked as Frank Ryan,
John Kearnan and Thomas Anderson.
Meanwhile young Foley, q lad of Is or l6,
Kearnan and Anderson as his assailants. Their
cruel and cowardly handiwork appeared on
Foley in scars, bruises and blood all over his
face and person; black eye, cut lip, bruised
forehead, bloody nose, hatless, coatless and
sleeveless, poor Foley was indeed pitiful OBJ
ject The wretches who wantonly administered
such brutal punishment deserve the rock pile
for the term of their natural lives.

CUMBERED WITH COIN.

The Treasurer Finds himself With too
Heavy Load Of StIver. Thanks to Sher-
mans Policy.
Washington Special to Chicago Times.l
Treasurer Gilfllan is the most consistent,
and, at the same time, the most efficient OPP
ponent of false financial views in the treas
ury department.. He believes in the thor
ough execution of every law passed by
Congress, and holds that if it embodies un-
sound principles and absurdities, there is no
better way to OK pose them than by doing all
that law will permit to be done. Last fall
Mr.. Gilfllan made an attempt to get rid of
the standard silver dollars as fast as they
were coined, and succeeded, by using them
upon the customers OF the treas
ury, in paying out about all
stopped him, however, and the silver began
to pile up, until now there are about nine
hundred tons of it in the treasury. Last
month Mr.. Gilfllan made another effort, and
dire:ted that 10 per cent of the current ex-
penses of the government should be paid III
standard silver dollars. In this way $1,s5t-
600 been got permanently into circulation.
Still the aggregate in the treasury has been
increased. On the LIST of July there we're
28,147 PSI silver dollars stored in thescoy-
eminent vaults. On the LIST of August the
amount had increased to %, ISL, SOL, and now
it is 3O,678,464 This increase in August,
however, is due to the extraordinarily large,
amount of silver coined. Heretofore the
minis have turned out the minimum
amount permitted, $2,OOO,OOO. In July,
owing to the press of business occa-
stoned by the close of one fiscal year, and the
beginning of another less than $2,OOO,OOO
were coined, and the increase for the month
was very nearly the whole of the amount
coined. This has been the history of the
growth of the number of silver dollars stored
up in the vaults of the treasury. For some
months about all that has been coined has
been added to the treasure already buried.
Last month, however, the minis coined about
90, 100000, while the increase was about
81, 5000 Mr.. Gilfllan thinks that, with
the aid of the assistant treasurers throughout
the country, he can at least keep down the
bulk of silver in the governments posses
sion. An interesting fact in connection
with the silver dollar, is that it is fast be-
coming popular as subsidiary coin, being
used largely in retail trade for the ones and
twos, now so scarce. Western banks are
continually asking the treasury for them.

Palmer Wants to be Vice-Prc siJeat.

Palmer Wants to be Vice-P sitJe,at.
Ex-Gov. John M. Palmer thus speaks of
himself as candidate for Vice. President on
the State Sovereignty Bourbon ticket, in his
newspaper, the Springfield Register, of
Sept. 8: Ire 49,
The editor of the Register is not q can
didate for the Presidency. He thinks the
Democratic party when seeking candidate
might go further and fare worse, ard he also
thinks it will certainly do 80. He is not q
candidate for the Vice Presidency. He thinks
he has some qualifications for that place, for
from his boyhood until he became too busy
to indulge in the sport, he was skilled in
ways of "shiners," "peerck,' bass, and cat,
and made himself famous as successful
fisher on the banks of the "West fork" In
dian Creek, Wood River, the Mississippi,
and the Macoupin, before 'the dam broke,''
and there is possibility that the wise mon
who will run the machine will not overlook
such merits. But the chances are that some
more pretentious fisherman will be selected
by the Democratic Convention to succeed
Mr.. Wheeler, who has distinguished himself
SO much in the piscatorial art. If, as now
seems most likely, Mi. Tilden is nominated
for the Presidency, the West should have
the second place on the ticket, and it will
demand the no nination of Mr.. Hendricks:
but, if he declines, the issue should be
squarely made between the simple fishermen
of the West, who use 'poles" cut from the
bank of the stream, spit upon their bait, and
then "throw in for cat" and the aristocrats
of the rod and reel and the artificial fly, and
who cast the fly for trout. If the battle.cry
could be the bread and cheese and the flat

in the breaches pocket or the hat, against
the gorgeous spreads and rich drinks Of the
moderns, the contest would be worth some
thing, and Illinois might win. But that is
sue cannot be- made, and the editor of the
Register is out of the field. Will our good
neighbors take notice of this declination and
govern themselves accordingly? 1t will now
hardly pay to prove that the editor of the
Register was Secessionist or Pro-Slavery
man, or that he was actually in the Rebel
army.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 11.-Now that the State
fair is ended, beg to offer few remarks in
regard to the next, which may probably be
. comfort and convenience to visitors. One
attraction would be q few flower beds about

ony. The next, having seats around 80 that
the weary may rest. There is nothing so at
tractive as outside beauty for the grounds,
and it can be easily done at the proper time.
The last offer is that while we are finding

prey on the unwary. WALTER CAKES
