How They Have Worked Minneapolis the
Current Week.

How They lave worked NAhnoaPoho VAC
Current Week.
The fair at Minneapolis has proven the tia-
grant ine ,ency of the police force of that city,
who have harbored the biggest gang of black
legs and professional robbers that have ever
disgraced, with their presence, the Western
country. Visitors to the fair have been feeced
omen and above board, and this under the very
ewes of the authorities, whose utter inability
to cope with the emergency has made them the
laughing stock of the country.
Since the opening of the fair every train has
borne its quota of professional thugs, thieves
and cappers, who have worked" the fallow
field with the utmost impunity and to their
hearts content. -,
Last night the hotels of st. Paul were filled
with guests VINO were absolutely afraid to re-
main in Minneapolis over night, and Tor good
reasons, the fact being that many of them had
learned to take the precaution at a costly ex-
pense. :,
The worst feature of the business is that
many of the crooks who have visited Mime
apolis during the past week are supposed to
be well known Gs such throughout the coun-
try, and in all large cities their very presence
is accepted as warning, and during their Sd
iourn they are put under surveillance.
In this particular, considering the crowded
condition of the city, st. Paul has been
particularly fortunate, and up to last mid.
night not q. single depreciation has been re-
ported. One thing is certain that the scores of
people who ware feeced at the Minneapolis
swindle will give the fairs of that city q wide
berth in the future.

BURNING: OF THE STEAMER
CHAKMER.
Eight OF the Crew Perish. Jim

gers Saved.
new YORK. Jan. 2s.-A New orleans special
gives the following particulars OF the burning of
The steamer Charmer, belonging to the New
Pany, on sunday last, five miles above the
mouth OF the Atchafalagar. The boat was val
ued at $4,000, and was insured in Cincinnati for
SiS,000 The steamer, at the time OF accident,
had on board cargo OF 2, l05 bales of cotton, 60
barrels of molaSSeS, with lot of SundreS, all OF
which were destroyed. The fire was first per-
ceiyed In the bursting out of flames beneath the
second tier of cotton, and in a moment after
the whole boat was one sheet of flame. Although
the steamer was fitted out with all the appli-
anceS necessary for safety, in time Of disaster.
the speed OF the fire was so rapid that there was
no time allowed to apply them. The pilot on
duty at the time the accident occurred, stood at
his post and headed the boat for the shore But
fer his coolnesS and bravery the loss Of life
would have been very great-there being l04
persons aboard. When the boat neared the
shore, the planks were Immediately showed out.
yet, such was the heat of the fire and the haste
of those aboard to save themselves, that many
jumped into the water, and a few OF these for
tunately succeeded in reaching the shore In
safety. Two passengers were badly hurt by
falling In the staging, in the desperate efforts
they made to save their lives. All the passen-
gers among whom was one lady, was saved.
The lost were VIM. Miller, cabin boy; David
johnson, cooks; Mary Flowers and Mary Hamil-
ton, chambermaids; VIM. Cummings, fireman;
and one TOuStabOut, name unknown, eight per-
sons in ALL A portion Of the valuable letters
were saved but the boat lost all her money and
books. One of the chambermaids who was lost
went back to save $50, which she had left In her
room, and was seen no more. The value OF the
cargo of the Inflated boat is put down at
$4,000, all covered by insurance in various
companies here.

another rise in Nashville and Chattanooga, and
In the Wisconsin stocks. 1t is natural that as
prices for the old stocks are so high, speculation
should incline to new stocks as they come upon
