A Snide Detective.

Jessie James, not the distinguished crimi-
nal, but ''snide'' detective who sought inn
portance by assuming the role of very ssay''
man, night before last, was before Judge
Flint yesterday, charged with being a base
pretender. He was found on Third street bv
Sergeant Walsh about o'clock Yesterday
morning pensively gazing at the stars, and
when asked to explain he replied that he was
merely feesting on the beauties of nature, as
cultivated through the medium of his favor
lite study, astronomy.
The officer replied that not even the child
OF nature could do the balcony scene after
midnight in st. Paul without first getting
solid with the city fathers, which remark
passed by UNDECIDED by the stranger, who was
wrapt in meditation.
Sergeant Walsh then told him to move on.
lntlmating that if the advice was not needed
ne would have to run him in. The reflective
individual smiled at the latter remark, and
rejoined by stating that he was detective,
and that tbs pursuit of bad men necessitated
his remaining out all night. This did settle
1t, and the young man was rudely collared
and taken to the station. He looked wan,
abashed and hungry at the municipal court
Yesterday morning, and was given week in
the cooler for his impertinence.

The counsel of Mrs. Weller, plaintiff,
Gen. Sanborn, made move yesterday in this
noted divorce case by an application for
counsel fees and alimony during the pen
dency Of the suit. The application was
opposed by Hon. John B. Brisbin and Henry
j. Horn, Esq, attorneys of VIM. Weller, the
defendant, who commented at length upon
the alleged ground Of divorce as frivolous
and groundless.
They offered, however, on the part of Mrs.
Weller, the use of the homestead, to be sup
ported there by Mr.. Weller, with their daugh-
tiers as members of the family, without re-
straint BY the defendant, pending the litiga-
ton. This offer was not accepted by the
plaintiffs counsel. The court took the mat
ter under advisement.

The Church Choir Plnafore

The Church Choir Pinafors Company.
The Inter Ocean, Of Chicago, speaking Of
the recent performance of 81. M. s. Pima
fore in that city by the church choir com
pany which appears here this week, says
The Chicago church choir company reap
peared last evening in .Pinafore,' y and if they
gave flne entertainment during their former
engagement, the one last evening was almost,
if not quite, perfection. It is no exaggeration
to say that the parts of Josephine. Sir Joseph,
the Captain, Ralph Rackstraw, Little Butter
cup, Hebe and Dick Deadeye have never been
sung or acted in more perfect or correct man
ner than they were last evening. The cast is
the same as it was ON the previous appearance
OF the company with the exception of Hebe.
This character was assumed last evening by
Miss Ada Somers in place of Mrs. E.. s. Tilton.
1t is safe to say that Miss Somers makes the
most fascinating Hebe Chicago has yet seen.
Every one was heartily received and several
times encored. .'Pinafore" will hold the
boards for some time to come.

Two Railroad Officials Exchange Cour-
tesies.
A fsticuff between two officers Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul Railway
company, which took place Friday, formed
the theme of much talk in this city among
the many acquaintance of the parties. The
unpleasantness occurred between Mr.. Chas.
Case, assistant superintendent. of the Min
nesota division of the road, and Mr.. Charles
Waterman. formerly conductor on the
short run between st. Paul and Min.
neapolis, but now having train
on the Hastings & Dakota road. Superin-
tendent Case was going over the road Fri
day, and it is said took Conductor Waterman
to task for allowing so many people to ride
IN the baggage car. The language between
the two gradually increased in warmth, until
Case called Waterman q liar. Waterman
IS not built after the pattern of men who
tamely submit to such an imputation.
The fact that Case was his superior
officer did not change the aspect of affairs in
his opinion and the lie had hardly left Cases
lips before Waterman's hand, closed, was
planted square in Cases mouth, and two Of
his teeth were extracted quicker than the
most expert dentist in the land could pos-
sibly have done it. Bystanders then inter-
fered, and the combatants separated, each
officer going about their business.
The outcome of the affair is shrouded in
mystery. One report says that Waterman
has been discharged and that his friends in
the employ of the company are making up
purse for the purchase of q magnificent gold
watch for presentation to Waterman as
token of esteem. Another report says that
the disposition of the case has been referred
to General Manager Merrill, and that by the
same mail document was forwarded that
officer signed by several parties who wit
messed the fracas, large patrons of the road,
generating Mr.. Waterman from RESPONSE
bility in the matter. Another report Gays
that superintendent Case will swallow the
insult for the present, as he did his teeth,
and bide his time. The GLOBE does not
know which report is correct, but it has a
very clear belief that the affair was disrepu-
table in the extreme.

DR.. Stewards Return.

Or. j. Il. Stewart, surveyor general of
Minnesota, returned yesterday afternoon
from flying trip to Washington. Immedi-
ately after his return he was waited upon
by GLOBE representative, and, in response
to queries, stated that he had been sum
moned to Washington by Secretary Schurz
to consult relative to the pine land depreda-
tions in Minnesota. When asked for the
programme fixed, the doctor declined to
give any. He said the investigation would
be conducted according to the programme
already published.

Il Disastrous Storm,

Lac qui Parle Independent.
Rev. MIR. Eldridge, who resides a short
distance from Appleton, relates rather cad
experience with whirlwind, that struck his
house one day last week, literally demolishing
1t and breaking his furniture into atoms,
sending fragments of broken furniture,
crockery, cooking stove, and trunks of
clothing for many rods out upon
the prairie. His carriage was taken up and
dashed to the ground some distance from the
shed, and only one wheel can be found The
most singular thing is that Mr.. Eldridge with
his family were not killed, as they were in
the house at the time. They all received a
severe shock and some bruises, but nothing
serious.

amendment to the constitution of the

medicinal and mechanical purposes.

thousand, did not ask the legislature
to pass prohibitory law; they only
asked that the people might be per-
