The $3.50 Robbery.

The case of the State against James Brown,
charged with the larceny of $3.50 from young
man named Charles Mckee, came on for hear
ing in the police court yesterday afternoon.
The robbery took place last Sunday evening
and the money was recovered in the woodshed
of Fanny Sheppard's house on Fifth street.
The prisoner and Mckee boarded at the Wash
ington house, Seven Corners, from where the
visited McKees room and after chat they
agreed to visit the Sheppard's house together.
Before leaving the room Mckee took the sum
of $130 from his person and put it in his grip
sack, placing the latter under the washstand.
The gay Lotharios then repaired to the house
where Brown was in the habit of paying his
respects and blowing in his dust on straw
berry blonde named Birdie Fisk, for whom he
held fatal infatuation. During the evening
Mckee, who is much the youngest of the two.
left the house for the purpose of buying some
candy for his inamorati. During his absence
Brown, alias Billy Jones, skipped up to the
Washington house and brought back the grip
sack.
On taking the stand Mckee stated that
Brown had seen him put the money in the
satchel and that he also had key to the room.
Birdie Fisk, the old mans darling, testified
to Brown leaving the house directly after the
departure of Mckee for the candy. Witness
stated that Brown afterwards remarked that
McKee's satchel was in the clubhouse.
1t transpired that on leaving the house Brown
visited the Washington house, abstracted the
satehel and on his return secreted it in the
Woodshed.
Testimony to the effect followed, when the
defendant was held to the grand jury in $500
and committed.

The St. P. O. N. Fats In,provem eat.

The st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-
road company ahaving purchased the entire
rights and water power privileges of St. An
thongs Falls, last spring, is now about to put
into contamination its original project. It
will construct an extensive canal. on Main
street, probably $500 feet long, and eighty
feet wide and thirty feet deep. Fully $780, 900
cubic yards of earth and rocks will have to be
removed to carry this into execution. A NAM
moth tunnel will then be constructed beneath
this canal, in the sandstone which nnderlies the
bed of limestone rock-at least twenty. nine
feet deep. This tunnel will be 1900 feet long
and thirty-fve feet deep. It will be used as a
passage way for the various mills, which will
use it next summer. The work on this gigan-
tic enterprise will be commenced soon, to be
completed in the early spring. The engineers
of this company are already busily engaged on
the plans. The completion OF this project
will at least double the present. capacity of the
falls, and all of it bids fair to be utalized next
seOSon.

A blarsted Englishman named Thomas
Coles was arrested by Officer Roulleau yes
terday forenoon on the charge of stealing a
quantity of clothing from the Minnesota
house on Rosabel street. He arrived Ill s..
Paul last July, since when ne has been stop
ping at the house, and, if reports are true,
he has carried on species of systematic
stealing. His racket has been to go through
the apartments of the other boarders and
cabbage whatever came handy, his predilec-
ton being for clothing. When arrested he
had satchel filled with clothing, which had
been taken from the boarders.
The extent of his pilfering is not yet
known. When brought to city hall he was

THE CANDIDATE OF GETTYSBURG

THE CANDIDATES OF GETTYSBURG
Gettysburg deserves to name President
and Hancock impersonates Gettysburg
was the closing sentence of Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles' speech at the New York demonstra-
ton last week. A prouder distinction could
not be conferred upon military hero than
this. Gettysburg was perhaps the most
momentous struggle of the war. The armed
hosts of the rebellion had for the first time
crossed the border and invaded Northern
State, and, flushed with victory, were press
ing forward, confident of their ability to
drive the Union forces before them, and
from some point of vantage dictate terms of
peace to the government at Washington. 1t
was gloomy three days for the cause of the
Union. A heavy load rested upon every
loyal heart: the worst forebodings of disaster
filled every bosom. Upon the result Of the
contest hinged the result of the war.
If the Union troops were defeated, no
power on earth could hinder the success of
the confederacy, and slave. oligarchy would
have been established over nearly one-half
the Union. From early morning till set

"GArH" says that the Republican party is
being roundly abused for having abandoned
the South in the Presidential contest. 1t
deserves all the abuse that can be heaped
upon it. The truth of the matter is that the
Southern States, even If it was possible to do
80, as they hoped by raising the sectional
cry of solid South they would awaken hos
tility at the North, and thus create a solid
North. Their plan was too transparent,
however, and has created dissatisfaction even
in their own ranks.

of sun the battle ragged. Column after
column of brave men went down before the
furious hail of shot and shell. One after
another of the Union commanders fell al the
head of the defensive column, and finally
Hancock, on the evening of the first day,
was called to the front. His presence was
inspiring, his demeanor grand, approaching
sublimlty. Fearless of his personal safety
he rode along the lines encouraging his men
to stand firm, to do and die in the cause OF
their country. When the final assault came
the batteries belched forth fire and destruc-
ton, the musketry all along the line made
great gaps in the advancing columns, the
rebels turned, and then began rout. With
almost unparalleled heroism Gen. Hancock
led his men in the pursuit till he
fell seriously wounded. But the day was
won and the country saved. From the de-
feat sustained here the confederate army
never recovered. 1t was the turning point
of the war, and Gen. Hancock, more than
any other one man, is entitled to the credit
of winning the fight.
If Gen. Hancock's reputation as soldier
rested upon his achievements in this single
battle, he would yet hold high place in
history as one of the grandest Of modern
heroes, without peer in the annals of war.
But he displayed the same conspicuous
bravery in all the principal battles of the
army of the Potomac, whether he command
ed brigade, corps or division. He was
in the foremost post of danger at Yorktown,
Williamsburg, the Chickahominy. Anti etam,
fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Spottsylva-
mia, Petersburg and in the Wilderness. In
each of those engagements he exhibited
daring that inspired his soldiers with hero
ism such as has rarely been witnessed on
the field of battle. He asked them to go
nowhere that ne did not lead the way.
Though by reason of his wounds he might
have been excused from active duty after
his brilliant victory at Gettysburg, he was
impatient to resume the saddle, and while
yet suffering he was again at the front, con-
tributing to the success of the cause he
loved.
Men may we'll feel proud to honor such a
soldier with their votes for the highest place
of honor in the republic which he helped to
save. He deserves their love and confidence,
for he will never betray his trust. Gettys-
burg indeed deserves to name President
and Hancock impersonates Gettysburg.

railroad is regarded in Canada political if not

there are 226 miles of the road in operation
near Lake Superior, sos miles under contract,
and 1,2l5 miles on which nothing has been
done except to locate the line. Nearly 50, 000,-

order that the trade of the lower portion of
British Columbia may not seek its way east by

The Finest Clothing House In the North
west


west
1t would seem almost superfuous to the ma
jority of our readers, that we shouldI say any
thing editorially concerning the Boston One
Price Clothing House, of st. Paul. Its popu-
larity is universal, its reputation wide spread
and 30 firmly fixed, as to need no word of COM
mendation from us. But there may be some
of the patrons of the B. o. P. @. H. who have
not had the pleasure of peeping into the grand
addition to that elegant establishment. Hence
we will endeavor to enlighten them upon the
subject of Improvements and extension now
perfected, which the rapid increase of bust
ness has rendered an imperative necessity.
No one can pass up or down Third street with
out observing the elegant display windows,
and the chaste and beautiful signs which indi-
cate the location of this famous house, 43, East
Third street. AS you enter its broad doorway,
the immense stock of clothing visible produces
a startling effect. The neatness and order pre-
vading the establishment is at once recognized,
each article bears ticket duly,numbered, upon
which is marked the cash-"cne price''-from
which there is no deviation. We pass through
the "Old Store" or Gentleman's department,
replete with every new and fashionable desi gn
in mems clothing, into the new extension-or
Boys department. This is an addition, or ex-
tension to the "Old Store" of about'40 feet, de-
voted exclusively to the sale of boys clothing,
and it is a very charming and cosy place, well
lighted from the top and rear, and carpeted
with rich and beautiful Brussels carpet. 1t
is furnished in red-oak, and is resplendent with
mirrors from floor to ceiling. 1t contains the
finest stock of boys clothing ever exhibited in
this city. adapted to, and suitable for all ages,
sizes and compilations, decidedly elegant in
material and makeup. Here also are conven-
lent retiring rooms where the suits can be
tried on and adjusted to the satisfaction of the
purchaser. In fact, you experience great Salts
faction and comfort in selecting an outfit at
the B. o. P. @. H., because the surroundings
are so cheerful, and the attendants so obliging.
This immense stock of clothing is fresh, new
and made up in the latest style. The visitor
is impressed with the air of solidity and bust
ness like aspect which inspires confidence and
secures favor at once. The B. o. P. O. 81. was
established by Jos. Mickey & Co., it's present
proprietors, in 1870. It's place of business is
No. 43 East Third street, st. Paul.
