He Showed the Watch,


The case of the State against James
Showers, charged with the larceny of watch
from a young man named Albertson, came
up for hearing in the municipal court yes
terday morning. The alleged robbery took
place on the evening of the 28th ultimo,
when Albertson, in company with another
young man, proceeded to do the rounds,
with Showers officiating in the twofold ca
pacity of chaperon and hackman.
During the evening the party stopped at
Cummings saloon, on West Third street,
where an alteration took place between Al
bertson and young man named Koran,
both parties appearing before Judge Flint
the next morning, the result of which has
already been reported. From the saloon the
party were conveyed to the Windsor hotel,
all under the influence of liquor, upon reach
ing which it is claimed that Showers man
aged to cabbage the watch from Albertson's
pocket.
The hearing was called ct 9 O'Clock, in the
course of which the defendant strenuously
denied being implicated in the robbery, pro-
ducing evidences of former good character.
To Offset this it was demonstrated that
Showers had shown the watch at Morton's
saloon the evening of the robbery. This
view of the case was accepted, and the pris-
oner was committed in default of 800 bail,
to await the action of the grand jury.

The case of John A. Murray against
Llewellyn Levi feathers was resumed in the
United States circuit court yesterday, and
didn't come to conclusion. Mr.. Murray's
examination was continued, and he didn't
finish up his story of ''the swindle'' until 8
O'Clock. Mr.. Ryerson, his partner, was then
called to the stand, and repeated the account
of how feathers came it over him in i'm
posing bogus artificial stone on him and
Murray. In this connection it isn't amiss
to call to memory the fact that an
artificial stone was used for window caps and
stills in the extension to the capitol. It will
also be remembered that the stone cracked
as soon as put in place, and that owing to
the expostulations of the GLOBE the useless
stone was removed. Well, that artificial
stone was made according to the feathers
process, and Architect Burlington was using
Minneapolis inventive genius in attempting
to introduce it.

MIR. HAYES has sent to the Senate the
name of Howard NJ. Kutchin, Republican
editor of Fond du Lac, for confirmation as
collector of internal revenue for the Third
Wisconsin district. Mr.. Kutchin is vouched
for as a stalwart, and this no doubt recon-
mended him to Mr.. Hayes. We do not ques-
ton his stalwartism in the least, for few
days before the last election he published an
appeal to Republicans, in which occurred the
following paragraphs:
Livery Republican in Wisconsin should 90
armed to the polls next election day. The
grain stacks, houses and barns of all active
Democrats should be burned, their children
burned and their wives outraged, that thew
may understand that the Republican party is
the one which is bound to rule and the one
which they should vote for or keep their vile
carcasses away from the polls.
IF they still persist in going to tile polls,
and persist in voting for jenkins, meet them
on the road, in the bush, on the hill or any
where, night or day, and shoot every one of
the base towards and agitators. If they are too
strong In any locality and succeed in putting
their opposition votes into the ballot box
break open the hox and tear in shreds their
notwithstanding ballots and burn them.'
1t will be seen from the above that Mr..
Hayes is determined to give the Offices only
to those who are faithful to the PRINCIPLES of
the party.

THE bill recently introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, calling for
detailed statement by years and States of
the amounts of war claims allowed by Con-
gress from 1865 to 1879 inclusive, is very
proper one. If such o statement is placed
before the country it will demonstrate the
fact that the howl of the Republicans about
the allowance of rebel claims by the Demo-
Gratis can moro properly be raised against
themselves, and that since the Democratic
party came into power the allowance Of such
claims has fallen off more than one-half.

business ON the st. Paul = Pacific Extern
sion Lines.
The annual report of J. P. Farley, receiver
of theSt. Paul & Pacific and Red River &
Manitoba railroad, was received at the Office
of the railroad commissioner yesterday.
The report covers that portion of the St.
Paul & Pacific railroad, extending from
Breckenridge to st. Vincent, and from
Orookston to Fishers Landing, q distance
of 213 miles. The report credits the road
with no bonded debt, but a note adds: "For
the construction of sixty-five miles of road
from Snake River to st. Vincent, and thirty
three miles from Melrose to Alexandria, in
Guiding side tracks, station buildings, water
tanks, etc., also removing the ties between
Crookston and Snake River, and nine
miles of iron, the receiver issued $500, 1000
of debentures in full" The report is in
complete in statistics of traffic, and many
other respects the reason given being tho
destruction of papers by the fire in the gen.
eral offices something like year ago.
Under the heading of "general remarks
and history of your company tho report
says: "In 1872 the line of road was built
from East st. Cloud to Melrose, IS miles.
Also, a line from Glyndon to point near
Snake river, 80 miles. Also, from Glyndon

company, about 9 miles. In 1877 built
3315 miles of road from Breckenridge
