morning, which called forth the usual crowd.
The origin of the fire is not known, but it is
supposed to have caught from the friction
caused by the belts running over the pulleys
in the copula. 1t is thought that it was burn
ing all night Monday, for six inch shaft was
charred all through, but as the copula had iron
siding there was not air enough to cause it to
blaze Had the roof and copula been con-
structed of wood instead Of iron, the elevator
would no doubt have been totally destroyed.

The Southern Minnesota.

The principal officers of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul company celebrated yester
day the acquisition of the Southern Minnesota
road and Central branch to Mankato, by their
company. by ride over the
road to its present Dakota terminus,
and by formally taking possession
for their company. This change of ownership
ard management of the Sou thern Minnesota
will undoubtedly work to the advantage of st.
Paul. Heretofore shipments to places on that
road from this city have been subject to hurt
full delays and two local freight tariffs which
gave our merchants no fair chance to compete
for the trade of the Southern Minnesota coun-
try. Now there will be through trains or close
connections, with a single run of way bills and
through rates and fares. AS the country west
of Ramsey (the junction with the Iowa & Min
nesota division, main line,) is very fertile and
quite thickly settled for nearly hundred
miles with thrifty, enterprising population,
the gain to st. Paul trade by the improved
connection ought to very large.

Nh. HAYES veto of the special deficiency

Mr.. HAYES veto of the special deficiency
bill was not unexpected. The public have
long ceased to expect from him anything like
a judicial consideration of any question hay
ing the slightest political bearing. The SEQ
ton to which Mr.. Hayes objects was one
offered by Mr.. Garfield, the Republican lead
er in the House, and was simply designed to
compel the selection of deputy marshals
from each of the political parties instead of
from one as the law now stands. Mr.. Hayes
thus takes the stand that the majority of
the people of the country have no right to a
representation among the officers who are
appointed to supervise the conduct of cleo
tons.

OUR amiable evening contemporary is mis-
taken. The GLOBE does not make any un-
fair claim of Democratic victory at the
city election. The GLOBE conceded the
good sense of the Republicans in accepting,
in many ind Ances, as the chest men, the
Democratic, bominee. In no such case did
we claim las Democratic victory. 1t was
in the three precincts where the Republicans
made desperate and organized effort to
win, that the GLOBE claims Democratic
victory. 1t is a legitimate claim and the
result shows that the Republicans would
have done better if they had made no con-
test whatever.

THE GRAND JURY.

The Noble Army Receive Their Charge and
Retire-Their Secret Labors Fully
Detailed-A Number of Indictments
Found.
The district court reconvened at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, Judge Brill presiding.
The members of the grand jury answered to
their names, as published in yesterdays issue
of the GLOBE, with the exception of o. McFar-
land, for whom the court issued writ of at
tachment. The clerk administered the GUS
tomary oath, after which the court appointed
Judge Aaron Goodrich as foreman, when he
proceeded to deliver the usual statutory charge
accomp panied by number of suggestions.
The Jury were informed that they were en-
powered to enquire into all kinds of offenses,
coming under the charges of murder, robbery,
larceny, rape, felony and other misdemeanors,
and they were instructed that it was their duty
to investigate any charges that might exist con-
corning any Irregularities in public office.
They were instructed that there were two
modes of procedure to report the result of
their Investigations, viz. If they were satisfied
by the testimony that crime had been COM
mitted they should proceed by way of indict-
ment; if there was evidence of probable of
Tense they should report the same in PRESENT.
ment by submitting an informal statement of
the offense in writing.
They were further Informed that to prev emit
the return of an Indictment the testimony
must not be hearsay, but must
come in the shape of sworn
testimony or documentary writing. They
were to investigate any probable offense com
ing within their own knowledge and should
examine into the condition of the Jail and
prisoners. They were cautioned to conduct
their proceedings with the utmost privacy, and
secrecy should be observed not only during
their deliberations but after their discharge as
jurors. In conclusion, the court said that an
Indictment could not be found without the
retired.
For cause shown Chas. Thompson was ex-
cused from serving upon the grand jury dur
ing the term. After hearing motions of coun-
sci in several cases elsewhere reported the court
adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday.

posed, and

gin with the jail cases, and, after full day g
work, they finished seven and partially con-
sidered another.
In order: The first case taken up was that
of George WEIGH, charged with having stolen q
lot of clothes from Magee's restaurant. Webb
was indicted for larceny from dwelling.
Bob Mcfarland has escaped an indictment.
He was charged with having obtained money
by representing himself to be another person
named Mack, brakeman to whom $49 waa
due. Bob got off on the technicality or good
fortune of sometimes being called Mack.
Number 8 was the case of John Kettener.
He stands charged with having assaulted Frank
Hornung. the brewer, with Ratchet. He and
Hornung had row about rent due, on April
9th, and Kettener attempted to settle it by
settling Hornung. The jury could not agree
as to an indictment, and reserved the case for
further consideration.
Next in order, John Brown, alleged to be
guilty of larceny, was SO judged by the grand
fury, and an indictment found.
An indictment was also found, Immediately
after Brown was discharged, against Charles
Olton. He's the man who stole O. 81. Hunt
buggy and horse from in front of Mathes,
Goode & Schurmeier's, drove it to Minneapolis
and tried to sell the outfit to Mike Hoy.
After years exemption from punishment
for his crime, several weeks ago Matthew Rich
ardson was arrested for having robbed and
stripped j. 81. Brown up at the Seven Corners
while he was overcome. Capt. CLARK took the
case in hand and never left it until he run his
man in. Richardson was indicted, the evil
dence being such as to convince the jury, as it
will convict him before the court.
The Jury found an indictment against young
John Fulton for stealing lot of pourOus
plasters and such like articles from Noyes
Bro. Is & Cutler. Fulton was an employe of
the firm it is his first fault and in the aggre-
gate he did not steal more than $36 worth of
drugs, etc. At the time of his arrest, he
pleaded hard for mercy. but wasn't spared,
any more than the grand jury spared him, yes
terday
The last case was that of John Powers. He
stole 1926 worth of tools from Bergstrom's
shop, at the corner of Sixth and Cedar. De
tective Bresett arrested him the same night,
and the too were recovered next day, to be
stolen and never recovered. Powers was in
dicted.
The grand jury, during the whole day,
worked we'll and hard. Much valuable assist
ance was given by Judge Goodrich, a member,
in bringing out the evidence, and he hurried
business along, taking an active interest in
every case.
