n NOTABLE EVENT.
Large SocialIG athefing at the Residences of
Gen. Slbley.

Gen. Slbley.
Gen. II. Il. sibley' residence at No. AZ Wood
ward street was blaze of glory last night.
The occasion was reception rendered by the
general to his gentleman friends. The high
esteem in which the general is held, and
the warm personal friendship which exists
for him throughout the community, was
ittinglv evidenced by the throng which re-
sponded to his invitations last night. Several
hundred invitations were issued and compare
lively few sent their regrets. Every one who.
was not positively precluded from being present
responded in person, that they might show
their respect and regard for their distinguished
fellow citizen. The result was, prob
ably the largest social gathering ever seen at
private residence in st. Paul. Almost every
old settler and prominent business or profess
sional man in the city was present. To enum-
crate them would be to publish the roll
of the leading citizens of st. Paul.
1t was notable that everybody was &C
quaiuted with everybody else, and no formai-
ties of introductions were necessary.
Gen. Sibley entertained his guests in the roy
al style which is characteristic of his generous,
whole nature, and not
visitor departed without being thank
full for the opportunity to show their regard
for their honored and beloved fellow citizen.
It is hardly possible that another gentleman in
st. Paul could bring together such notable
throng as that which occupied Gen. Sibley's
palatial mansion last night.

A LIAR IMPALED.

How . Drunken Tramp Reporter Seeks
Revenge and Allows His Imagination to
! Run Riot With the Truth.
An article appeared in the Pioneer Press
yesterday connecting the name Of . reporter
of the GLOBE with divorce suit pending
between DR.. E. G. Smith and his wife. The
popularity Of the matter is that Mrs. Smith
is the party bringing the salt, and the first
charges made against her come from the
malicious article in question. The venom
and spirit which inspired the article can
readily be understood when it is stated
that it was written by q fellow
named w. Il. Monk. He was formerly
q reporter on the GLOBE, and was discharged
for general untrustworthiness and repeated
acts OF drunkenness. The reporter whom
he has traduced was summoned from Chicago
to take his place, as reporter, not as a
.drunkard, for in this latter capacity Monk
persisted until he became shoeless
tramp on our streets, and obtained
his meals only through the charity of free
lunch saloons, until recently, when he found
a congenial place on the Pioneer Press, and
has been allowed by the proprietors of that
concern to make its columns the avenue
depraved nature and ingratitude upon those
who have befriended him. As to the truth
of his story, attention is invited to the fol-
lowing letter: - ...za 49,. = 81
To the Editor of the Globe:
! ST.. PAUL, Dec. S, 1871 wish distinctly to
state to the public, through your journal, that
the so-called interview published in the Pioneer
Press of this date, relative to myself and the
divorce suit pending between myself and my
wife, is utterly false, and without the slightest
foundation in fact. member of the Pioneer
Press reportorial corps called on me, and I pos
itively refused to have anything to say to him
on tho subject. I don't know Mr.. Campbell in
this matter and never spoke of him as having
been in any way connected with this case. The
whole history published by the Pioneer Press
as from nae-is an entire fabrication from be-
ginning to end. I shall bring no charges of
anyone else. Nor shall I make
any answer to her complaint. I would desire
the public, and the papers generally to let my
Affairs alone, and let me settle myfOwn differ
ences. Yours Truly, 49,.
ISigned, -. ...:< E. G.. SMITH.
1t can be added that this disreputable
gutter drunkard and tramp loafer left DR..
Smith with the exclamation (referring to the
GLOBE reporter) "Dann the little whelp, I
hate him. I want to give him shove."
Supplemental to the above, it is only
necessary to say the interview published as
having taken place with the GLOBE reporter
is in keeping with the purported
interview with DR.. Smith, which is so posi-
lively denied. In other words, this man
Monk has imposed a bogus piece of business,
from beginning to end, on his employers.

"A Horse Trade.


The trial of Levy Cooley, charged with
the embezzlement of $40 from young
man named VIM. Church, came up for
hearing in the municipal court yesterday af-
ternoon. The alleged embezzlement grew
out of crooked horse transaction by which
Cooley is charged with retaining the above
amount of the other fellows money. A few
days since Church arrived from the Hawkeye
State, bringing with him wagon and pair
of horses which he desired to
sell to the highest bidder.
Cooley was introduced to the latter as horse
trader and was employed by Church to facil-
itate the sale. The team was disposed Of
at satisfactory figures, but in the transfer of
tho purchase money Cooley is alleged to have
retained $40 of the lucre. On the other
hand Cooley claims to have purchased the
team at stipulated and mutually satisfactory
price, and offers in proof bill of sale for
the eame, which will be submitted before the
conclusion Of the case, which was partially
tried and will be concluded to-day.

II DESERTED WIFE.

A st. Lous Couple Come to st. Paul, aud
tho Vito is Deserted.
Nine months ago, Mrs. Grenagle resided
in St. Louis wi tn her mother and was, com
pared with her present circumstances, COM
fortabiy situated. The death of her hus-
band, Henry Gyenagle, left her property
living for herself and mother, when Fritz
Grenagle, a brother of her departed husband,
appeared on the scene. Fritz saw the Wild
years his senior, the property
dazzled him and after short courtship,
during which Fritz drew rosy picture of
his position in the financial and social cir
cles in st. Paul, the widow consented and
the Unmatched couple were welded. I'm
mediately after the marriage Fritz proposed
that they move to this city, and accordingly
the property was disposed of and three
weeks ago the bride and groom, accompanied
by the BRIDES mother, and the proceeds of
the property sale, amounting to
three hundred dollars, arrived in St. Paul.
The two engaged rooms at No. 246 Robert
street, which we're rented and furnished by
Mrs. Grenagle. During the past three
weeks the hus band; under one pretext or
another, succeeded in getting possession of
all the money, which he. spent in dissipa-
ton. - -.
On Tuesday Mrs. Grenagle accompanied
her mother to the depot, the old lady being
obliged to return to St.. Louis, and
while away from the house Fritz
ransacked the rooms and took 500, all that
remained of the $500, and left, since which
time nothing has been seen of him.
Yesterday the deserted woman sold her fur
niture which she purchased three weeks ago
for $75, to second hand store and receiv-
ing $19 for the same, bought a ticket for st.
Louis and left on the noon train wiser but
much poorer woman

ANoblef!N Revenge.

Something of breeze was created on West
Fourth street about clock yesterday morn
ing by lone female asking police officer to
break into o residence to discover, or
attempt to discover, her husband.
One T. NJ. Carey, who sustained improper
relations with q party at the house in ques-
ton found himself exempt, owing to the
presence of another man. Suspecting who
his rival was he posted off at midni ght to arouse
and inform the wife of her
husbands infdelity. The wife re.
paired to the scene, and, with Carey, insisted
on forcible entrance by the policeman. The
result was that Carey became ugly and was
himself arrested and the wife went home
without finding her husband. Carey paid a
fine in the municipal court yesterday for his
attempted revenge on his married rival. The
ways Of the world are peculiar.
