out and they barely escaped with their lives,
when the building was totally wrapped in
flames and burned 10 the ground. None IF the
contents were saved. The loss aggregates
some 81, 600; insured for 5000.
The Greenbackers had q little meeting in
Workiugman's hall last evening. Remarks
were made by G. G. Curtis and others, and the
terrible suffering of certain classes were de-
picted with the usual ardor. Gen. Weaver
was represented as a mar going around the
country wearing ont his life and his pocket for
humanity's sake. A few cheice songs were
sung TO keep the few present interested.
j. 81. Giddings. a young pettifoger, came to
grief yesterday in Dunke's saloon, on Henne-
pin. A misunderstanding occurred between
him and Mr.. John L. Hall, which came to
blows. Giddiugs was probably as badly a
whipped man in a few minutes as has been the
fortune of any man for some time. Hall soon
after reported at the municipal court and
vuietly deposited a five dollar note.
The wife of DR.. ]. E. Marshall. of Cleveland,
Ohio, died yesterday morning at four o'clock,
at the Nicollet house, from an attack of pneu-
monia. The demise was very sudden and IN
expected. a few days since she returned to
the hotel from a ride, feeling somewhat indis-
posed, and took what she believed to be quiz
nine, but which proved to be an overdose of
morphine. Yet the attending physician says
this was not the csuse of her death.
Frank Morgan, the civil engineer who was SO
terribly injured at Hopkins station Friday,
was a little better last evening and he has a
chance of recovering. DIR. Ames received a
telegram yesterday from the young mans faith
er at Portland, Maine, stating that be would
leave for this city on the next train, and re-
q~uesting the doctor to give his son every pos
sible attention. The fellow is exhibiting re-

The number of thefts and burglaries being
perpetrated is really alarming, and, what is
very peculiar, is that few of the footpaGs and
ight-hngered gentry are detected and brought
TO justice. What can be the reason? 1sit be-
cause of the inetficiency of the police and de-
tective force or is it owing to the cleverness of
the scamps? At all events, additional precau-
ton should be exercised, both on the part of
the citizens and of the officers of the law.
1t would be pertinent for every Minneapolis
business man to bear in mind that tie best
and most effective advertising medium is The
ST.. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. 1t ia the only Demo-
cratic daily In MInnesota-and is read by all
members Of the party il represents. 1t con-
tains all the news of the city and is reliable
and comprehensive in its treatment of al polit-
icai topics. The Office of the Minneapolis
department at 2l3 Hennepin avenue, is open
from 8 IN the morning until 10 p. NJ.
Mr.. N. G. Leighton, of North Washington
avenue, a we'll known lumberman of Mime
apolis, has formed q co.partnership with a.
gentleman from Iowa, with the purpose of
building a frst-class steam saw mill on the
bank of the river in North Minneapolis. The
mill Will contain two circular and one gang
saw, and q shinele and lath machine. The
best and latest style of machinery will be put
in. One of the firm is now absent locking
fhrnnnh cEz- mills OF .ihar .os-4a g.,
ton as to best styles.
There is reason to believe that a good many
Democrats are negligent as 10 the important
duty of registration. A man employed in one
Of the mills states that last Thursday he called
ut the voting place in his precinct, both at
noon and after work at night, and found none
of the officers present. He states that several
men employed at the same place had a similar
experience. But it will never do to give up in
this way. Neat Tuesday will be the last chance
for those whose names are not already on the
register. Nothing should then be allowed to
stand IN the way of SO important an object.
On Tuesday the judges of election will be on
duty at the various polling precincts OF the
city, to register the names of legal voters. This
Is the last opportunity, and all whose names
have not already been registered, should not
fail to attend to it. No thinking man can well
afford to throw away his rights of citizenship.
All are from necessity directly interested in a
proper and just administration Of government
affairs, and it is a duty they owe themselves
that they exercise their franchise and do ali in
their power to elect honest and capable men to
the different Offices within their voting dis
tricts.
Gen. Sibley will be present in this city
next Wednesday to participate in the grand
rally at Market hall in the evening. There
will he M n,h &c a., or,rloI 81
meeting. As the campaign progresses Sibley
grows stronger and stronger every day. Not
one Republican has yet been heard to say
aught against bis candidacy. Gen. Siblcy is
looked upon as an ideal candidate of a great
party for d high and honorable position in the
councils OF the country. Always considered
by men Of all classes as an able and upright
man, be now seems unusually so by the con-
trast into which he has been placed. Let him
be present and the enthusiasm OF the Denoo.
racy will be kindled 10 a degree that it has not
reached before in years. The Democrats of
this city will be pleased to see him and hear
him speak.
Mention was made a few days since to the
candidacy of Baldwin Brown, the Democratic
nominee for the office of county commissioper
from East Hennepiu. A thorough canvass of
the opinions of the citizens of that district
has developed the fact that, irrespective of
political beliefs, there is a general feeling of
confidence In the integrity and capabilities of
OF Mr.. Brown, and also q surprising faith in
his receiving a majority vote over the Repubii-
can candidate. Mr. Brown has a clean record
as an otficeholder. This no one dis
putes. That he has done much to
advance the best interests of the
people, none deny. iSumm arily, considering the
fact that MIR. Lovejoy, a young man utterly
without ex experience, and who has the reputa-
tion OF being reckless and indiscreet, to a close

Brown has an easy walk away" And then
there Is another matter of Importance TO be
considered in this campaign. Every body is
aware of the developments recently made of
crookedness in the administration of our conn
ty affairs. This fact alone is sufficient to elect
a man OF u~ndisputed honesty and calibre like
MIR. Brown to q membership of the county
board.
