Interesting Cases Before Judge Wilsin--

sy, ANA Gellatiy VS.. The Odd Fellows
Relief ssociation.
The district court, Judge Wilkin presiding,
had two important cases before it yesterday.
The first, hanging fire for two days, is entitled
NJ. b. Farrell vs.. Timothy Reardon. The suit
Is brought to recover $4,000 damages for
alleged malicious prosecution. The history
of the case is pretty we'll known Last july
Reardon had Farrell arrested on the charge
OF larceny, omplaining that be
had stolen quantity of lumber. Suisse
quently Farrell was acquitted of the alleged Of
fence i'll the municipal court. The case on
trial Is resultant of the above.
CHARITY, GOOD PEOPLE, CHARITY!
The second case was entitled Ann Gellatly
VS.. the Minnesota Odd Fellows benevolent So
ciety. The suit brought to recover
the defenaan money nt tb Claimed de, by
of her husband. The defendant set up the de-
Tense that John Il. Gellatly was not in good
standing at the time of his death, having been
suspended for non-payment of dues The
whole matter hinged on $l.50, which it was
c"ntcnded that deceased had not paid into the
treasury of this benerolcnt association at the
death of one Ross. At the time of the death
OF this member Gellatly had Just returned
from Europe, whittier he had been for his
health. His widow claimed that when he left
he deposited IS to meet all dues, and it was
commended this covered all liabilities arising
during his absence, and even all such dues after
his return, only two weeks previous to his own
demise. The evidence for the plaintiff was
taken, when counsel for defendant moved to
dismiss the case. After a little discussion the
motion was granted, and the widow of a de-
ceased member of the benevolent society was
deprived OF her claim by the oversight of
$i:oo, not paid during the absence and illness
of her husband.

Horace Greeley had once said that it would
be cheaper for the government to board the In
dianS at tirst-cass hotel than to leave them to
the INSCRIPTIONS mercies of political agents.
Tho government expended over $7 600, 900 an
nually to support 250,0u0 Indians, many of
whom were self-supporting, in addition to
which millions were expended annually in car
rying on Indian wars. At the same time the
United States incurred the resentment of 2, OOO,-
COO Danes rather than pay fraction Of that
sum for the Island of st. Thomas.
Reference was made to the civil service sys-
TENS of Belgium, Holland, Norway and Swe-
den, England, France and Germany, showing
that the system Of seniority in appointments
and continuance in Office during usefulness and
good behavior, conducive of much more
beneficial results than could be obtained from
rotary or ''politicar' system.
On motion of Mr. Campbell, the speaker was
accorded unanimous vote of thanks.

Gen. Andrews Contrasts This Country with
the Leading N .tions.
An interesting lecture was delivered by Gen.
Q. @. Andrews, In Representative hail. at the
capital building, last night, GU the subject of
Civil Service in the United States and other
countries" The speaker, residence abroad as
minister to Norway and Sweden, together with
his comprehensive knowledge Of the subject
drew together large audience, the lecture be-
ing received with marked attention.
Upon being introduced by the Hon. e. r
Denny, the speaker said that in referring to
the civil sclvlce systems of different countries
1t would not.be in a fault-6Eaing spirit Flat
terry was the worst form in which to administer
corrective. France at one time over
Whelmed with this species of praise and had
not been cured until the memorable event of
Sedan, since when her national prosperity had
been unparalleled.
In order to show that civil service reform
was subject not recently taken up by him,
Gen. Andrews quoted from his report OF 1876
on the civil service of Sweden, as published by
Our government, in which he expressed the be-
lief that the United States had much to gain
IN prosperity at home and reputation abroad
by a reform in its civil service. The statement
OF EX-Secretary McCulloch was cited, that only
half the customs duties lawfully due were &C
tually collected, and he argued that if the
ncAt ACe WAS taken OUT OF politics ana put q
business footing, it would admit Of a great re-
duction in taxation.
The testimony of the superintendent of the
United States assay and United States treas
urer at New York, was quoted. showing that by
placing the civil service on business basis,
the number ard expense of officials and en-
ployes might be reduced at lea% one-half. If
a complete system of reform could not be had,
the speaker was in favor of accepting such
measures as could be obtained, providing the
system was more thoroughly legalized, and not
-asHRtt ected to therzRsill of the President. The
principles advanced were that subordinate
officers and employees should be appointed with
out regard to party or politics, and that after
appointment the officers should be excluded
from taking an active part in politics. The
speaker thought that rigid inquiry should be
instituted into the moral character of the APP
pllcant, and an Impartial test as to qualifca-
tlon. be also thought that the system should
be such as to make it possible that the self
taught CHILD OF the humblest laborer should
have as fair chance as that of the mill
ionaire
In referring to the civil service of Sweden
attention was directed to an off;ceholder in the
city Of Stockholm, who annually collected over
$2O,OOO, and received a salary amounting to
$500 per annum. It was the pirsishness of the
system of rotation that led Senator DOUGLAS to
remark, during Buchanan's Presidency. that

One of the Parties Thinks He Ought to lie
Arrested.

Arrested.
Yesterday a party by the name of Ernst
FREEMAN cheerfully walked into police head
his arrest there. If so, he was ready to meet
all the requirements of the law A look
among the records and files discovered no docu-
ment bearing his name. He was asked why
he expected such attention of the authorities,
and then told his story. He stated
that few days ago he'd made
Il horse trade, which was brought about in this
way: In his calling peddlcr he had need
OF horse. and about two weeks ago bought an
animal, sound in wind and limb, of Bill Webb.
The points of the brute attracted the eye of
George Baker second hand dealer, No. GU Wa
blshaw street, who pestered him 10 trade. At
ter much persuasion he snapped mis- horse for
Bakers with boot to the amount of
$40. The trade and transfer was made
his, Freiman's house, No. l0S West Sixth
street, and called him out. He commanded
Freiman to accompany him at once, and pull
ca out rtvol' er asa pcrsuader. Freiman's
wife and some friends interfered, and Baker
departed In short time he returned and
sammoned FREEMAN to the kitchen
door This lime he had Freiman's
old horse with him, and wanted to re-swap as
it were. FREEMAN declined aud then Baker
broke open the stable door, took away the
horse formerly belonging to him, leaving the
one formerly belonging to FREEMAN.
1t the story was true, it was explained to
FREEMAN that he was hardly subject for ar
rest.
But them" exclaimed he, II have replevined
the horse, aud Baker has sent him away
1t was again intinlated that this action on
his part didn't put him within the grab of the
law. He seemed hardly convinced, but as no
warrant could be found designating him as a
dlsreputable John Doe, or any other man amen
able to the law, he got up and left. But after
all no: in SO pleasant frame of mind as when
he entered.

He Must be I'roridcd for ga Some Manner.
Philadelphia Times.7
John +. Hartranft has retired from term
of gallant service in the army and of gen
orally very creditab!e service in the highest
civil positions of the State, that has covered
the period of his most vigorous manhood, and
it is known that he left the Gubernatorial
chair without fortune. He has been tender
ed tho postmastership of Philadelphia by
President Hayes, after having won q major
generals stars in the field by his courage
and skill as q soldier; after having
been twice elected auditor general;
after having been twice elected
chief magistrate, and after having been
presented by his State for the presidency in
the convention that nominated Hayes. His
pecuniary circumstances will probably re-
quire him to accept the postofice in disre-
gard of the very general feeling in this com
munity, and throughout the State, that he
eminently deserves position Of greater dig
nifty and emoluments.
Within the last few days it has been sug-
gested that the people of Philadelphia
should give to Governor Hartranft, with
their own high seal of authority, position
that would be worthy of him and afford a
compensation commensurate with his claims
upon the public. The postofice pays only
$4,000 year, and requires all the labor and
care that an intelligent and methodical man
can give it. The sheriffs office pays $4,000
year, and would be no more exacting upon
man of Governor Hartranft's prudence
and fidelity than the postoffice. Between
the two positions all will readily assent to
the assumption that the Office of sheriff is
the one for which Governor Hartranft should
be named

THE MINNEAPOLIS MILLS.

The Railroads Kuildinu Tracks to Ran
Through the Second Story of the Build-
inOs.
minneapolis Cor. Railway Age, Feb. Is.
The facilities for reaching the milling dis
two of the roads having had no track there
to, but now all the lines are represented,
many of the mills having tracks at both
front and rear. The fight between the roads
for supremacy has been holly contested, and
has necessitated the outlay of immense sums
of money which will result in great saving
to the mills in carriage, but will only entail
additional expense for repairs and mainten-
ance upon the railway companies. The Chi
cago u Northwestern, through local organ
lzatlon, has built an expensive line over
mile in length along the river bank in the
rear of some of the largest mills OH the tails
1t is understood that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul will use track jointly with the
Northwestern, thereby reaching a large num-
Der of the leading mills, which both compa-
MES have heretofore been unable to approach
by direct track. 70 offset this advantage
the Minneapolis. & St. Louis company secured
the right OF way over the canal, which is
lined on both sides with mills, and has con-
structed double track elevated railway,
reaching to the second story front of the same
mills.
This gave the latter company access to all
the mills and elevators, with the exception of
the new elevator recently built in the rear of
the Washburn ''B'' mill. How to reach this
elevator was problem, but the enterprise
and inventive genius of the managers over
came the difficulty, presenting novel fea-
ture in railway construction, and as we'll in
mill architecture. The elevator could only
be reached from the south, and directly in
the line stood the foundations of the new
Washburl 'A'' MILL which is to be COM
pleted for the coming crop. The track could
not be laid around the foundations, but the
elevator must he reached. Plans were drawn
providing for al opening through the second
story Of the mill Of sufficient size to allow a
train Of cars. locomotive and all, to pass
through. This track has already been built
and when the mill is completed that far, the
"hole" will be built around it. The track
then crosses the street on a tramway and
runs between the "B'' mill and the elevator,
atfording splendid facilities for the handling
of both grain and flour. This track will ac-
comnodate, inside of the SAP mill, six or
eight cars, which can be loaded or unloaded
at the same time from either side of the
opening.

He Watched an Opportunity.

An instance Of mis- placed confidence came
to light last evening, which involves the flight
of supposed friend and the loss of a valuable
watch and chain. The parties to the trans
action are named, respectively, Phillip La
Falle and Henry Madden, fellow cigarmakers,
prominently known in connection with this
industry, by all the principal man ufacturers in
the city. few evenings since, La Falle was
approached by his pseudofriend and contidante,
and after considerable persuasion was induced
to intrust to Madden's keeping hunting-case
silver watch and gold chain, the former being
at the time under the influence of liquor. The
manner IN which the transfer made at
tracted the attention of several bystanders,
who, knowing the intimacy between the two,
and observing La Falle's inebriated condition,
supposed that possession of the articles was
sought from the most laudable and disinter-
ested motives. Subseq uent Developments, how
ever, show that the self-imposed trust was most
shamefully betrayed, as the ungrateful miscre-
ant had no sooner obtained possession of the
watch than he left the city, taking the first
train for Chicago. The watch is valued at $40,
and no hopes are entertained of its recovery.
DR.. Riley, in his speech in the House of
Representatives on Wednesday, paid high
compliment to Charley Caldwells mos 81 and

his place as one to be copied by temperance
folks. There, for the insignificant sum of five
cents, glass of beer could be obtained and
with it even sumptuous feast. Dr. Riley
called the turn, for no where outside of San
Francisco, not excepting New York or Chicago,
can man get, free of charge, such meal as is
spead at Caldwells. Hotel dinners, with all
the paraphernalia of tableware, don't begin
to compare on the average, with CaldwelIs re-
pasts every day in the year.
