B. & o. STORAGE.

Grain Merchants Withdrawing Their Pro.
test Against the Notice of Advanced
Rates at Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2S.-The american says
The firm of David DAVIS & Co., New York,
instructed its representative here to with
draw the signature of the firm to the protest
of the cornand e our exchanges, against the
additional elevator charges proposed by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company. Geo.
G. hiartiD, of David DAVIS & Co. says, no
doubt the railroad company's action tended
to demorelize some of our Western ship
pers, but only temporarily and without some
action 1t might have been worse in the
future. The West, he says, is not at all
alarmed and trade will 60 smoothly on as
usual. We have written our friends West
who want to trade with Baltimore to go on
as usual as there as no breakers ahead and no
trade troubles to be looked for.
VIM. Cooper, of Melmine, Gilman & Co.,
of Toledo, said that in his opinion the i'm
position of additional storage charges was
the OILY thing the Baltimore & Ohio railway
company could have done to relieve the ele-
vators. He had eeen, he continued, that the
Baltimore & Ohio officials have been per-
picked some time, their elevators have been
full, they have been storing grain outside,
and something had to be done. It would
probably have been more jadicious to have
given longer notice. AS to the protest, had
the matter been mstureIy considered, it
would probably never have been done. Sew
eral firms regret having signed the protest.
Our signature has been withdrawn.

The Hypocrisy of 1t.

Gen. Sibley, who was candidate for Con-
gressman in opposition to Washburn who is
not and never was General, and who has
been president of the st. Paul chamber of
commerce for long period and has done 80
much in that position to advance the pros
perity of that city and the whole State, GENT
letter to the chamber resigning his con-
nection with it last week. We do not imag-
inc that the shameful slight cast upon him
by the citizens of this State had anything
to do with his resignation, for We believe him
to be too high minded and patriotic
to be 30 actuatsd, but, for ell that,
we feel that he had great cause
for just indignation. Here is what Gov.
Marshall, who had the honor of opposing
him by stumping the State for Washburn,
whose lights, abilities, capacities and capa-
bilities, are but as fsrthing rushIight under
bushel to do the State service to those of
Gen. Sibley. whose past services at some
future day Will be fully recognized. Our
readers will conclude as We do, that not
withstauding Gov. Marshall's apparent ap-
probation of Gen. Sibley and his services,
and though he spoke with unusual eloquence
and feeling on the occasion, that he must
have felt himself in a false position and that
he was giving expression to hypocritical
words in the light of his position in the late
canvass for Congressman.

pected the Goth. General Francisco Menua,
ex-governor of Gueroyatora, has been offered
the postfolio of war, and is en- route to the
capital. The concession for representative
from San Luis Potosi to Tampico has been
transferred to Mr.. Symon, representative of
the Atchison & Topeka company. Symon,
also, as representative of the Pacific Mail
steamship company, made o contract that
steamers of direct line between San Fran.
cisco and Panama shall touch twice month
at Mazatlan, Msnzanilla and Opcapulca, and
once month at San Bias. He has
also contracted for the establishment of
a line to be called the Oriental line, whose
steamers shall make round trips monthly,
touching at Acapulco, Santa Cruz, San Ben
ito, Puerto Angela and Tonalo. The COM
pany will receive subvention of $3, 900 per
month. Many censure the government Sc
verely for making q number Of contracts
through one and the same person. The con-
gress has by decree approved of the manner
in which the executive has made use of his
authorization to make contracts for con-
struction on internal and inter oceanic rail-
roads. Gen. Gonzales observes the strictest
reserve with regard to his future views or
intentions.

Robbed of Her Money.

About 6 o'clock last night John Henney, q
servant at the Brewster, went to the room Of
one of the lady boarders with basket of wood
to build fire. He discovered the sum of
$500 lying on bureau in the room, and
probably thinking it was worth more than the
basket, left the latter, took the money and lit
out, vamosed, skedadled, skipped-in fact he
left, the basket was left, and the lady was bad
ly left also. John Henney is a tall, rather
slender young fellow of about 2S years. The
officers have been notified, and diligent search
will be made for the thieving scoundrel. The
lady's name is Miss Davis, and she ia teacher
of elocution in the public schools of the city.

The Regular Sunday Shooting Scrape q
| Failure - Lewis Does tho shooting and
Goes to jail, While His Wife, Unharmed.
| Serves a Roast for Dinner to Her Friends.
An effort was made yesterday to furnish st.
Paul with its usual Sunday shooting, and while
the shooting took place, the scrape really didn't
result In more than an injury skin deep. The
perpetrator is q colored gemmen named Harry
Lewis and the woman who almost became the
victim to his malice or foolisbness is Mrs.
Emma Lewis, his wife.
| The affair took place about o'clock last
night at the residence of the couple over Fer
guson's carpenter shop on jackson, near Eighth
street.
Lewis. who is employed as a cook at Mont
gomery's restaurant, had been drinking freely
yesterday, and returned home pretty we'll set
| up about clock.
On seeing his condition, Mrs. Lewis up
braided him for his relapse into habits of in
| temperance, and, becoming crankey, man and
wife engaged in q warm dispute.
While the chin music was in progress Lewis
picked ups seven shooter from the table, IF
the miniature Fourth Of July order. and in
fooling with the thing it was discharged, the
ball grazing the right breast of Mrs. Lfwir,
making slight abrasion Of the skin.
Lewis was arrested by Officer Hapft and
taken to city hall, where he was seen by
GLOBE reporter last night.
He was badly frightened, and stated that he
Gus picked up de gun when 1t went off," and
that he wouldn't shoot his wife for o million
dollars.
1t was at first reported that Mrs. Lewis
had been seriously injured. Areporter for the
GLOBE called at the house and expected to find
subject for an inquest.
Ascending flight of dizzy stairs rap at the
door was answered by q comely colored woman,
with sleeves tucked to the elbows. She carried q
butcher knife in her right hand, and from
somewhere within came the aroma of roast
beef and baked potatoes. It afterwards trans
pired that just then she was engaged in cook
ing dinner. to partake of which were quite
company. those who had called to make in
quiries since the accident.
"The GLOBE would like to have the pleasure
of a chat with Mrs. Lewis" said the scribe.
I'm de one; anything You got to talk about

suppressed litter inEide.
Hem, yes; you see; the dear people will
want to know all about the sheoting-but you
don't seem to have been hurt"
"Well, this ere chile is about the Hveliest

A Bible Scholar Arrested.

Last night Officer O'Keefe brought to the
station young Swede on charge of disorder
ly conduct. While on his beat the officer was
approached by the young fellow, who said he
wanted to find the Methodist church, corner
of Sixth and Rosabel streets, for he knew
more about the bible and all kinds of religion
than the minister of that church did, and
wanted to argue with the divine and put him
down. Seeing that the would-be theologian
was little beery, O'Keefe walked him down
to his boarding place. which is the St. Thomas
hotel, and there left him. The officer had been
on his beat but a few minutes when the bible
scholar was back again. on the same errand as
before. This was too much, and he was &C.
cordipgly taken in. When questioned OF the
police station he denied having any money,
but on being searched $50 were found ON his
person. He still persisted in his biblical
mania, aud was evidently out of his head.

FOOTE'S CAREER.
Hotc a Rascal MarrSed, Stcindted aud Was
Punished.

u
LA CRossE, Wis.,. Nov. 2a.-Alpheus 8.
Foote was to-day sentenced to five years hard
labor in State prison for forgery. Thus ends
somewhat remarkable career. Foote came
here stranger in 1874 from Pittston, Pa,
with two women whom he claimed were his
sisters, but who were, one the wife of an
other, and the other of equally bad character.
He worked in various printing Offices here and
committed various thefts, but atoned for them
by being discharged. He got possession of q
Job printing Office, and upon forged letters nf
Recommendation and his pleasant. gentlemsnly
address, got into society to an extent. Finally
he married Miss Vincent. daughter of respect
able parents. who opposed the match, but con-
sented to prevent an elopement. Foote then
coveted notoriety, and proposed to GO into
partnership. with NJ. N. (Brick) Pomeroy.
Pomeroy put in his paper, and Foote $4,000.
Foote'S father-in-law had offered to help him
to the extent of 81, 900. but no more, and Foote
deliberately forged his father-in-law's name to
raise the rest, deluded by Pomeroy's promises
of success into the hope of paying MP the
forged notes. The concern failed to do this,
and the collapse came. Pomeroy is at Denver.
Foote goes to felon's cell. where be belongs,
and sorrow goes to the home of Mr.. Vincent.
