SAMMY'S INCOME,

The Court Refuses to Reqaire the Prose-
cution to Furnish a Bill Of Particulars.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-In the suit brought
by the United States against Samuel j. Til
den to recover certain sums alleged to be due
from him for income taxes during 1863 to
1872 inclusive, over and above the amounts
paid by him, motion was made in the
United States district court few days ago
by Tilden's counsel for bill of particulars.
After alluding to the general objects of bills
of particulars he says the government is not
presumed to know what every mans income
is, still less the several parts of which it is
made up Of Every man is presumed to
know these things with entire certainty.
While the officers of government may have
such credible information as to ax-payer's
income as makes 1t proper to bring suit and
recover the excess of income tax due above
that paid, that information may not be SO
specific or detailed az to enable the district
attorney, in advance Of the trial, to set forth
the items going to make up the income with
such certainty as requires a bill of particu
lars. He further says: "The truth is, the
plaintiff is in fact unable to furnish such
bill nor is it to be inferred from this fact,
admitted by the district attorney, that this
suit is mere pestering suit, brought for
general inquisition into the private affairs of
the defendant, as suggested by counsel for
the defendant, who urged that the court
should, by granting this motion, discontinue
such suit.

Messing the tortures of human being.
There is nothing inspiring in looking at .
lot of men tramping around sawdust track,
perspiring, imping, halting and frequently
fainting from sheer exhaustion and lack of
rest. 1t has parallel only in the Spanish
bull fights, where the ,matador sometimes
suffers implement on the horns of the in
furiated animal, but even this sport is re-
fined when compared with the self-1nhloted
tortures of the pedestrian tournament.
There is something chivalrous in the bravery
that prompts man to attack maddened
beast in the arena and dispatch him with his
sword: there ia nothing of that element in
the senseless walking tournaments OF this
so.called enlightened country.
The defenders of this barbarous and USE
less practice insist that pedestrianism tends
TO create desire for better physical cul-
ture among our people This we
deny. Though walking is health.
giving exercise, and should be
practiced more by our dyspeptic race, these
contests tend only to pervert the taste,
not to cultivate it. No enc will claim that
any one of the so-called pedestrians is a bet
ter specimen of manhood, physically or
mentally, than any one out of thousand
that find in any community. In
their practice they exercise but one set Of
the muscles of the body, and the strength
which they attain is drawn from the other
muscles, and impoverishes and dwarfs them.
To make perfect man, physically, all the
muscles and organs of the body must be
exercised regularly, but in moderation. Any
undue strain upon one set will have evil re-
suits upon the others. '"2. .''i*
The walking mania has another and a
worse tendsncy upon the public. 1t has be-
come indlssolubly associated with gambling,
and those who are most interested in main
tanning the contests are INSCRIPTIONS gam
blers-, The other associations none OF
the best. There is drinking, profanity and
obscenity on every hand. No person can
attend one of these contests for an hour
without being contaminated. Few of them
are conducted fairly. The time-keepers are
invariably accused of falsifying the record,
or some of the walkers are accused of selling
out to this, that or the other gambler. They
generally end in q display of bad blood or a
downright row. They have long ceased to
be patronized by the best class of the sport
ing community, or by respectable citizens,
and have been turned over to the lower class
of gamblers and rowdies. We hope to see
them discontinued altogether, for they are
barbarous to the last degree, useless in every
respect, and calculated to lower the morals of
the comm unity. ..iy..}..... ,... ..-

GRACELESS ROBBERY,

The House OF Jewish Rabbi Entered and
Ransacked While the Owner was Attend
ing to Religious Duties.
An eighty dollar robbery was reported yes
terday, it having taken place the night be-
fore. AS is known, yesterday was an es-
pecial religious holiday among the Jews, in
fact it took beginning the evening before,
Friday. All orthodox Israelites strictly OBJ
served the day with fasting and prayer,
and the rabbi, David Segal, of the
Sons of Jacob congregation, remained in the
synagogue all night. While thus engaged in
the service of the church and the Lord, the
entered and robbed. The thief forced q
way through back window, and found the
house untenanted; all the inmates
being away at devotional exer-
cises. 1 Having everything before
him, and nobody to interfere, the thief made
an extended examination of the premises.
Among other things found was the peddler's
pack belonging to Harris Anushinsky. It
contained his stock in trade, and being ready
for transportation, without more ado the
robber made off with it. Nothing else was
taken, though the house showed evidences
of having been thoroughly searched. The
loss as it stands, however, amounts to $50.

THE WALKING MANIA.

One of the most nonsensical species of
so-called sport are the walking matches now
80 much the rage in this country and in
England. They consist simply of test of
endurance on tho part of number of men,
each walking and running night and day for
long or short interval for share of The
gate receipts and belt representing the
championship. The winner sometimes real
ICES handsome sum, but has often to paw
for it by shattered constitution, a ruined
mind presuming that those who engage in
such contests have mind-and probably
the requirement of habits that will land him
in an untimely grave. All the participants
suffer more or less from the same causes, and
1t IS no unusual thing for one or more of
snem to be carried fainting from the track,
with limbs horribly swollen, with feet blis
Tered and bleeding-mere wrecks of human

The Adventure of Horse, Buggy aud
Yesterday, Francis Bingham, collector
was making himself unwelcome along Sew
enth street, near jackson. Having numer-
GUS visits to make in that neighborhood, he
hitched his horse in front of the CONNER
cial hotel. He went into store near at
hand, and coming out behe]d female STEP
ping into his buggy. He fastened his
steps and sent q call to
her to stop. But she didn't
stop. She seemed more intent upon getting
away, and impaired her intention vigorously
to the horse, with the whip. The horse soon
partook of her anxiety to 60, and together
they went up Seventh street in whirlwind
of a hurry. Mr.. Bingham notified the po-
lice and telegraphed to Minneapolis think
ing from the way she started. the horse and
buggy would not bring up short of Bridge
square in, Minneapolis. However, after, a
search of two hours and half the whole
outfit were found on st. Peter street, and
part of the concern, the horse and buggy,
returned to Mr.. Bingham by Officer O'Keefe.
The driver was ascertained to be Mrs.
Stockton, and her conduct is accounted for
on the occasional erratic principle.

RAILROAD YARD ROOu.

The Work in Progress to- Secure Greater
a Facilities. 4s#
Among the troublesome questions the
several railroads having their terminus and
| headquarters in St. Paul have had to meet.
has been the question Of yard room Cor the
transfer of freights, making up trains, ETC..
To meet this in part the st. Paul, Minneap-
oils & Manitoba company is now enga ged in
filling the fat on the south side of Third
street, east from their present depot and
yard grounds, in which some forty acres are
to be reclaimed and brought into condition
for nse. It part, also, for the same purpose,
was the organization of the St. Paul eleya-
tor and transfer company. The location of
tae new 75O, 600 bushel elevator at the eros
sing of Como avenue with the railroad was
| also largely governed by the necessity of
greater facilities for handling cars aud trans
ferring cargoes than could be secured any,
where in the vicinity of the present freight
and transfer depots.
still more important improvement, hav-
ing for its object relief of the central freight
yards, has been undertaken by the Chicago.
st. Paul & Minneapolis railroad com,
pany. AS ls generally known this COM
pany has been engaged for some
| weeks past in putting in spur track from
its line near the junction with the ST.. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba road. This spur
is about 1000 feet in length, and is put in
to enable the company to run through
freights coming from or going north, to be
run right through without the delay Of trans
fer or extra hauling to run into and out of
the central yard as now. The construction
of this track has required heavy cuts and
fills and a high trestle bridge over Trout
brook, but when a railroad company
undertakes anything all such little
distractions as those enumerated
have to give wey, and the spur is now viz
tually completed, and the company have
commenced operations upon the grading for
freight and transfer yard. This yard is
being excavated from the high bluff north
of the main track and to the east of the spnr
track connection. Some one hundred men
and large, number of teams are engaged
upon the work, it being the intention to Re-
move some 16. 900 square yards of earth vet
this season, by which about one mile of
rack will be provided. Next season this
room will be enlarged, and it is not all i'm
probable that an improvement of decided
advantage to the city will follow at the same
point by the company in due time.

AN UNPUNISHED MURDER.

DIX weeks ago tO-day that excellent Chris
tian lady, Mrs. s. Y. McMasters. mingled for
the last time with the congregational Christ's
church. One day later her life went out, and
alone in the rectory adjoining the church her
body lay undiscovered for nearly twenty-four
hours after life was extinct. Acursory med
ical examination resulted in verdict of
apoplexy, and with no public inquiry the
last sad rites were performed. The busy
world went on, and the going out of single
life WAS likely to be soon forgotten,
save by the immediate circle of friends, when
the startling rumor was whispered that foul
murder had been com mitted. The investiga-
tion of these rumors, which was carefully
and elaborately made by the GLOBE, fur
nished confirmation of the crime having
been perpetrated. There are comparatively
few in this community who do not believe
that this estimable lady was foully murdered,
and still this great crime, perpetrated in the
very heart Of the city, goes uninvestigated
and unpunished. l>#a
A still more singular feature of the affair
fully satisfied and admit that her residence
was entered and that she was robbed, but
persiste ntly scout the theory that the great
or crime of murder was perpetrated. In
this they make great mistake. The Ger
tainty that the lesser crime was committed
carries with it the certainty that the greater
was also perpetrated.. There is no evading
this conclusion, and no theory can be de-
vised to explain the death from natural
causes. The physicians who rem
dered the hasty verdict . Of apo
plexy have never dared to urge
the eXhumation of the remains for the pur-
pose of an autopsy. st least one of the
physicians who inspected the body, has pri-
vately declared that the death was not ap-
oplect;c, but professional etiquette has pre-
vented him from taking public issue with his
medical brethren. Unfortunately it is now
too late for an autopsy to determine that the
though her death must permanently pass
into the unexplained mysteries. =
The watch and key have never been dis
covered, and in view of the conceded robbery
it is strange that we are compelled to add
that no attempt has been made to discover
them. While petty offenders are honted
down. here is an admitted burglary and
generally believed murder, which is allowed
by the authorities to sink out of sight with
no attempt at an investigation. The pecu-
liar treatment which this terrible crime has
received, is only exceeded in mystery by the
deed itself. Every interest Of society de-
mands that such a deed should be fer
reted out and the perpetrator pun
ished. Respect for the memory
of the unfortunate victim demands the in
Fiction of the utmost penalty OF the law
upon the perpetrators of the crime. In the
face of all this the important time for pur-
suing the inquiry has been allowed to pass
without o movement It has been treated
as though an effort to discover the murderer
was reflection upon the estimable lady
who fell a Victim to what was only intended
for burglary. but which developed into
murder to conceal the lesser offence.
