Not Having Ratchet He Used a Hammer.
John Kettener was arraigned at the police
court yesterday morning charged with, fres-
Going Frank Hornun9's head with his little
Ratchet. When asked what he had to say to
the charge he replied that ne didn't use a
Ratchet, but that he did the pounding with
his trusty hammer. For GOODNESS, this re-
mark is entitled to take the cake.
The fight took place near Hornung's
brewery on Washington street, and origin
ated over the construction of partition
fence. The prisoner states that he has been
terribly annoyed by Hornung, who called his
wife bawd and insisted upon tearing down
the partition fence between the two yards
Night before last Kettener went TO nail up
the fence, when Hornung is said to have
came out and requested him to desist, which
was the signal for lively dispute.
The parties banded personalities, and the
prisoner protected himself from an attack by
the free employment of his hammer. The
injuries received are very severe and Horn
ung's condition is quite critical. When the
case was called yesterday the latter was una
BILE to appear, and the hearing was continued
for one week, the prisoner being committed
in default of ST. 900 bail.

of those who own lots in eligible portions of
the city, convenient to our manufacturing
and business centers, if they would expend a
few thousand dollars in the erection of mod
est cottages and tenements of either frame
or brick. There is certainty that they
will not remain vacant for any length of
time. We are glad to be informed
that quite q number of our citizens have
already determined upon supplying this need
as far as their ability goes, among whom we
may mention Messrs. P. h. Kelly, Il. N.
McLaren, Il. L. German, j. r.
McIIrath, Mark Costello and q few
Others. We trust their ranks will be
considerably recruited before many days,
and that every lot-owner who has a few hun
bred dollars to spare will expend his surplus
of it in the erection of q convenient residence
for some family that is seeking home in
this city. 1t should be remembered that
every adult person who comes to town adds
at least thousand dollars O year to its
wealth. Instead of repelling settlement,
therefore, we SHOULD take particular pains to
encourage it.

BUILD HOUSES.

A year ago to-day the SUNDAY GLOBE called
attention to the fact that there was great
lack of residences in this city, more especial
ly of the class available for working men.
Our efforts were productive of good results,
for large number of small houses were
erected last summer and spring, but hardly
enough to accommodate the people who de-
sired to settle in our midst. The same ne
cessity-or a greater one-exists to-day.
There are thousands of people who have
been attracted hither by our rapidly increas-
ing business and industry, who find them
selves strangers in a strange city, with no
home to which they can 60, and dependent
upon our overcrowded boarding houses for
the daily subsistence they receive. If a
thousand houses, bearing rental of from
eighteen to twenty-five dollars a month,
could be constructed the present spring,
they would all be rented before the 18th of
May.
There are scores of vacant lots in the most
eligible residence portions of the city. They
are mostly owned by persons who are album
dainty able to build such houses as are re-
quired by our access of population. They
have, however, preferred to allow their
property to lie vacant in the hope that the
improvements on adjoining property would
raise the price of their own lots. They have
paid the taxes upon the property for years,
while if they had erected dwellings upon il
they might have been able to pay all expenses
and derived 3 fair profit upon the invest
ment.
1t is the opinion of our most prominent
real estate and house agents that there is
room in st. Paul for from eight hundred to
fifteen hundred new houses, and all could be
rented to responsible persons for an average
profit of eight per cent. on the cost. Oul
own observation confirms the opinion of the
agents. There are scores of families arriv
ing here every week who de-
sire to make this city theil
home, but they can find no accommodations
There will be hundreds more in the early fu-
ture who have been attracted hither by the
wonderful development of our manufactur.
ing and commercial interests. They ought
TO be welcomed to the city, and at the same
time offered homes within their means. Il
would be a good investment upon the part

Taken in For.

On the I'd inst. the GLOBE made exclusive
mention of a suit begun in the United States
district court to recover $21. 900. 1t was from
two old and we'll known citizens, Messrs.
Jus. Ramsey and Benjamin Bronson. The
popularity and long standing of the liability
was stated at the time to have occurred on
bond, to which the two were sureties for
Henry Tilden as United States marshal.
Tilden died in 1851, and when his official &C.
counts were overha1led deficit of $1,000
was found, for which, with accrued inter
est, the bondsmen are to be held accounta-
BILE at this late day. The above is a sum-
mary of the facts, and new developments in
the case were made yesterday. 1t should be
stated that this original deficit was the re-
suit of the government failing to allow Til
den proper credit, and in equity he was not
defaulter.
The papers in the case have been COM
mitted to United States District Attorney
Billson for prosecution, and in looking over
the old records in the matter, the following
discoveries were made:
It would seem the case has been in court,
for in the records of the territorial courts of
1857 it is found that judgment for
$500 has been entered against Daniel Rohrer,
executor of the Tilden estate, and Jus. G.
Ramsey and Benjamin Bronson, bondsmen
of TiIden, deceased. No entry regarding the
time when suit was begun is made, nor is
any docket number entered on the record, by
which the file of proceedings, etc., can be
found.
On further examination q further trace
of the business is found in the probate court
records. There, it seems, Daniel Rohrer pat
in claim for the payment Of the $500 on
the judgment, which was allowed. But no
voucher for the payment can be found on
file. However, with such data as the above
to go upon, Messrs. Ramsey and Bronson
will doubtless be able to evade payment of
an alleged debt, which the carelessness of
government officials have allowed to grow
into the unjust and appalling figures Of
S21 900.

The tide of immigration is unquestion-
ably setting in this direction. During
the past four weeks several thousand
people from all parts of Europe and
Canada have passed through this
city en- rosie for the fertile re-
gions of the Northwest, where they expect to
erect homes for themselves and their fami-
lies. The'Canadians for the most part pro-
pose to settle in Manitoba, bat the majority
from other portions of the world have select
ed farms in the Red River valley of Mime
sofa and Dakota. Nearly all of those who
have passed through here are we'll provided
with money and stores, and will prove to be
valuable additions to our population.

Another $4,000 Called For.

An action for $40, 900 damages was begun
in the United States circuit court yesterday,
by Daniel Crimmins, of McGregor, Iowa,
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad company. The defendant was
formerly employed as section boss for the
company and the accident occurred in May,
1878, near North McGregor.
At the time named the plaintiff was en-
gagged in repairing an embankment on the
road, when the unexpected appearance of a
special train caused him to jump for his life,
hand car rolling over his person and in
ficting serious injuries. It is alleged that
the company had imperilled his life by only
keeping him partially informed concerning
the movement of trains, and that the acct
dent was entirely owing to criminal negli-
gence. The papers were filed by Mr.. Bris-
hi,

FARO BANK ROBBED.
A Game that Double Discounts the Tiger
ITSELF

A $4,000 robbery was silently, secretly
and mysteriously committed in this city yes
terday morning. The money was stolen
from the safe in the private room of Julian
p. Chinn, over r. @. Munger's music store.
The money in question may be termed the
blood scratched by the tiger from numerous
victims. In other words it was wealth ac-
cumulated by nights, Friday nights, sleep-
less watch oyer q faro lay out. When the
play was ended. Frigg, an employe of
Chinn'sI parlors, took the roll to the room
mentioned and stored it away in the safe.
Yesterday morning he got up, made his
toilet and went to breakfast, ruturning
about $50 o'clock. After an hours absence,
he opened the safe to find the $4,000 and a
gold watch and chain gone. A report of the
loss was Immediately given out, but as yet
no trace of the robber has been found.
The mystery consists in the money being
taken from Hall safe with combination
lock. The combination is known to three
only, Chinn, Fitzgerald and Frigg, the last two
being hangers on of Chinn's place.
Fitzgerald, Frigg and Col. Gorer occu-
pied the room Friday night, and declare no
one had access during the night, and that
the robbery must have been done when they
went out and separated for breakfast. If
done at the time access to the money was
gotten through the room door fastened with
Q Yale lock and through the safe door locked
with combination known to only three per-
sons

AN Eastern editor claims to have visited
Mr.. Tilden recently and to have obtained an
interview with him, in which he says that he
doesn't care for either politics or politicians.
The sage of Gramercy park is also reported
to be in bad health, palsied in both limbs,
and scarcely able to sign his name to papers
that are brought to him. Mr.. Tilden may
be infrm, but it is questionable if he has
lost all interest in topics and men that have

The American Union Telegraph Company

The American Union Telegraph Company.
The GLOBE IS advised that Jay Could s
new telegraph company, the American In
ion, has determined to extend its lines to st.
Paul this spring from three directions. One
line of two wires will come from the Iowa
Central road across the southern part of the
State; another of two wires will come up the
river from Dubuque; and g third of two
wires will come across Wisconsin from Mil
waukee. The company intends to open its
Office here, with two wires, about June 1st,
and to have the three lines and six wires
ready for use about July 1st next. After
that, competition and cheap telegraphing, or
a combination and pool with higher rates?
Who kuews which?
