Three Fingers Found on a Rsilroad Track
And How Found by the "Globs."
If q man were to walk along railroad track and
pick up glove with three fingers IN It, he'd be likely
to be startled, sure. Yesterday afternoon Thomas
H. Ryan, car repsirer on the st.. Paul & Manitoba
railroad, If not Mortified himself, sent cold SILVER
through Miss Nellie Butterheld. when he told her
that very thing had happened 70 him about an hour
Not being able to find Ryan q Sunday evening eau
was made upon Miss Butttraeid.
Old Mrs Butterhsld thought Julia knew al about
julia came in, but perceiving the handsome repre-
sentative OF the GLOBE, blushed like peony. She
was asked-that is she was questioned about the
three fingers, and she allowed her brilliant bushes to
subside to give place to . radiant smile.
One so young, so handsome and yet SO cruel to
laugh over tho mutiaton of the human form divine,
thought the GLOBE emissary.
The radiant smile was lost in the uterance Of the
words, "Oh, Nellie knows all about it."
The manner in which this was stated led tho re-
porter to believe that likely they lacked the necessary
information, and the GLOBE remarked "may be IT,
stiff"
"a what" said old Mrs. Butterfeld.
"May be it isn't true" replied the G. r.
"Nellie knows" eenteutiously remarked Mrs. B.
Nellie was called, and giving answer, her locality
was found, and it was right along side young man,
heryoung an. on side porch. Last night the
getfuiness. And the young man was doing the ele-
CANT: The familiar but pretty picture or tableau
was broken up, as the crowd got out on the porch
where company was enjoying themselves.
Nellie knew nothing about it, except that Ryan had
said so, and she believed it was no-such-thing
So did the GLOBE, but consoled himself that this
wasn't the first time an tnvestig ting committee had
found nothing begging the ladies pardon, fingers
and not females are alluded to.
Ryan couldn't be found. But later, 1t was definite
ly ascertained that he had picked up just such an
unsightly object It was found near the freight
house, below the Sibley street depot on the railroad
track. There were three crushed, mashed, bloody
fingers OF the left hand, or parts of the fingers in
heavy new buckskin glove. The fingers to the second
Joint were cut off, and threads Of flesh hung to the
parts Of the mutilated members, and blood clotted
the glove. 1t is presumed that somebody, elsewhere
than here has met with an accident while coupling
cars. The crush coming, the brakeman pulled out

brought here and dropped, to be gazed upon shud-

That is the Qasst.sn to DO Presented to the
Supreme Court this Morning.
In the supreme court this morning the social
evil question will come up for an airing. The
issue is not made upon the merits or dement's
OF the nefarious business, as no one has a word
OF defense to utter in that direction, but is a
question of law purely, to determine whether
these women, having been arrested and pun
ished by the city, can be Indicted and again
punished for the same offenze. MIR. Henry +.
Mastersen, who will appear In behalf of the
defendants this morning, concludes his argu-
ment as follows
I'm this case am not defending my clients
only. Ny duty rises above, and goes beyond
them. am defending tho constitution, and
all those who may ever have need to invoke the
protection OF its safeguards and barriers. In
this case, as in cases arising under Magma
Charta, those provisions of tho fundamental
law which are intended as a shield for tho weak
against the strong, protection of the citizen
against the government-the defense, to be
successful, must be made at the frat point of
attack; and that will always be in tho case of
some disreputable person. The lawyer who
would defend the Bill of Rights, must take the
case of some one who has no respectable
friends. For its principles and barriers will
not be assaulted in the persons of the reputa-
bio and influential, until after their sscredness
has been impaired by a series Of presidents
disresarding them in cases of persons of sush
ill-repute that they have no friends, and, Al
the good of this world lock at it, deserve to
have none. .-s
II have said nothing in the nature of excuse,
much less of defense; nothing to lessen the
just adherence of that with which my clients
are accused, and of which they have been al
ready once convicted, followed by punishment.
1t is to be presumed the conviction was war
ranted by the proofs.
1T is also to be presumed that tho punish.
rent, which they have already suffered under

"The object Gin human laws) Of punishment
is the reformation of those who are punished.
To have such effect, they must feel that their
punishment is just. But how can the=e women
feel that it is jest to punish them a second time
for the same act? That is more than most men
can do.
II do not say that they ought not to be pun
ished. l only say that having suffered one
punishment, presumably adequate to the Of
Tense, they ought not to be punished again for
the same act of offense. do not say they
ought not to be punished, but there is One who
may possibly say that society is itself too
much in fault for these women being what they
are, to have moral right to punish them for

A Road That Needs Repairs

Farmers coming to st. Paul by way of the
road from Mendoza complain that it is badly
in need of repair and widening. Previous to
the construction of the boom there was good
deal of travel on the river during the winter,
but the portion of the river not occupied by
the boom does not freeze over, and hence all
the travel is confined to the regular road.
Much Of the way the road is 80 narrow that
teams cannot pass each other, and some serious
accident will occur unless improvements are
made. If St. Paul is to secure the trade the
road must be made safe.

WASHINGTON, NoY. 9.-Alexander II. Ste
phens arrived yesterday to ATTEND the meeting
of the House committee on rules. He does
not care to be interviewed but submits the
following az that of his present condition
of mind: He says he differed from his party
on the policy of the extra session. and as his
foresight has proved to have been the longest
and best, he is not inclined to crow over other
leaders. He thinks the Democratic majority
in Congress should give their whole attention
to needed legislation and let President-making
alone. He believes the people of the whole
country, north, south, east and west, want to
turn their backs upon the past and look to the
future. They want REFORM not in words, but
actual reform in the administration of their
affairs, that they want wise legislation and
they will support the party that looks to their
wants. he said that after two millions of
Democrats had resorted to arms to put down
State rights, it was folly to attempt to con-
vince them by argument that what they put
down was right.
Mr.. Stephen. remarked that he did not be-
heve there were dozsn men in Georgia in
favor of Tilden for President, that there is
stroug and bitter opposition to him, but that
the State would vote for him if nominated.
