Besides the wild man who was calaboosed by
Officer Murphy. two simple drunks were lodged
in the gloomy pile last night up to IL o'clock.
| Washburn did 60. He left for Chicago yes
terday, not having cheek enough to participate
| In the jubilee. This would have been an ex-
hibition Of gall too much even for him.
| Hon. e. A. Youmans. of Winona, has de-
clined the governors appointment as dele
gate to the meeting of the river improvement
commission to be held at st. Louis next week.
John Tsggart was charged with having been
lushed on turpentine tanglefoot. He re-
marked that he supposed he had, and accepted
the three days stretch as if to the manner
born.
The case of tho State against H. Starkey, on
trial in the district court for the past three
days, drew to q close last night, when the tes-
timony was summed up and the case given to
the jury.
VIM. Flsnnigan. 81. P. Valentine and party
by the name Of johnson were up for having
been drunker than billed owls. They pooled
their issues and left nine dollars of their good
dust with the city.
Mcintosh d Co.. are killing car load of cat
tle each day, and canning from 80 to 100 quar-
ters of beef per day. These goods pass through
the hands Of st. Paul jobbers to the general
trade tributary to this city.
Ike Hill and Frank Jones were before hiz-
zoner for being drunk and disorderly. They
| came down from the Fort and got drunk. and
when put under arrest they became cranky.
They were fined three dollars each and paid
| the coin.
John ONeil, you are charged with being
drunk, said hizsoner to an old timer at the
police court yesterday. f'Kerrect," was the
reply, and when the customary three days were
awarded, he exclaimed AYE, aye, sir" and
passed out the door.
| About 2 o'clock yesterday morning, at st.
Anthony junction. brakeman on freight
| train had his righs hand badly manRled while
coupling cars. He was brought to this city
and attended by DR.. Murphy, who amputated
! the thumb and dressed the hand.
Denman Thompson will close his engage
ment in this city-a highly successful one, too.
| in all respects-this evening. ladies' and
children's matinee will be given in the after
noon at o'clock, and the houses. both after
noon and evening, will no doubt be crowded.
The ease Of the State against Thomas Mobiles
and George Wilson, charged with holding up
and robbing man named McGlenn of $22,
was called for hearing in the police court yes
terday morning. The prosecuting witness could
not be found and the case was dismissed.
William Dembrook was arraigned at the
police court yesterday, charged with assaulting
young man named Frank Farrell. The as
sault took place last Sunday at defendants sa-
loon, Bridge Square. A jury trial was de-
manded and defendant was foand guilty. He
was fined $40 and discharged.
All the largest numbering firms in the North
west, outside of Minneapolis, have deter
mined to put Chicago graders into their mills
next season, thus giving all the lumber shipped
through this market the same uniform grad
ing as that for which Chicago is the distribut-
| ing point. This is another move on the board
| to give st. Paul equal advantages with her only
great rival for the Northwestern lumber trade.
To have looked into the bull pen yesterday
and seen the military display of blue coats
! worn by the sinners, one would have naturally
| supposed that the army had been on big
drunk. Judging from the number of the boys
who had been on it, this was to some extent SO.
Nearly dozen of the boys were up. Most of
them had only been guilty of simple drunken
ness. They were all assessed light fines and
discharged.
William Gordon and Patrick Hill, two gal
laHts from Ft. Smelling, came down on Thurs
day and got on an immense tear. While
drunk they visited Fifth street bagnio, and
| with soldierly impetuoslty they stormed the
citadel and when refused admittance they at
tempted to make the inmates capitulate by
smashing in the door. They were snatched to
the COOLER and yesterday were before Judge
O'Brien and Gordon was fined $5 and sentence
was suspended, while Hill was assessed seven
| dollars.
John German, the miserable drunkard and
wife beater, was before Judge o. Brien yester-
| day, charged with abusing his wife and being
drunk and disorderly on the street Mrs Cor
| man, a neatly attired little woman, appeared,
| and the prisoner had the audacity to warn her
| not to testify against him. She stated that as
soon as released from Jail he had visited the
| house and kicked in the door, threatening to
/ take her life. The brute was committed for
ninety days and bound over to keep the peace
in the sum OF 5000. If bail is not furnished,
he will serve ninety days additional when his
term expires.
| Frank Conley was arraigned at the police
court yesterday, charged with the larceny of
fifty five dollars from the person of green
horn named Henry Tolle. Mr.. Erwin appeared
| for defendant and asked for continuance
After considerable chin music the case was
continued until 2 r. NJ to-day. Defendant
| was cOmmftteo In Ce1ault OF Sl,UUU Dali. The
victim. who is penniless, was at the city hall
in order to be present at the hearing. In this
| case great precaution should be taken to avoid
having the prosecuting witness tampered with
and spirited out of town. The chances are
that he will not be present when wanted.
Another accident occurred yesterday at the
new Union depot which might have caused the
most deplorable results but. miraculously, no
one was hurt. Tho workmen were engaged in
raising large timber to the top of the wall,
twenty-four feet from the ground. The stick
was l2xl4 inches square, and fifty feet long.
1t was just level with the top of the wall, and
about to be swung into place. when the new
ropes in which 1t was slung slipped their hold
and down went the huge beam, smashing
through the scaffoldings to the ground. Some
ten or fifteen men were working close by, and
| 1t is certainly more than wonderful that not
man was even scratched.
