FARIBAULT.

FAR1BAULT, Aug 7.-Faribault has been re-
markably "dry'' this summer of good items
and the police perhaps being aware of this
fact have kindly furnished the reporters the
following, which we give the readers of the
GLOBE: Friday afternoon it was alleged
that cur chief of police had been brought up
before the mayor and received severe repri-
mand, but for what we could not learn at
the time but were told that if We would visit
certain Third ward saloon We could get the
full particulars. The GLOBE, ever on the
lookout for items, visited the saloon mem
toned and there learned the following from
the woman herself Here is her story,
read it:
Yesterday (Thursday, she said) Bill Campbell
came up here and wanted to know who lived
here besides myself told him no one the
went into the kitchen he followed
me in and commenced talking to
me don't remember what he said, but all
at once he picked me up and carried me around,
and one of the men said to him, sthat is nice
way for an officer to act, why we wouldn't do
that as drunk as we are" he then asked me
where slept, I told him at a nelghbors named
Patterson. He said he was getting me tanned
down, and did not kick as much as I used
what he had done and left.
There is a great deal more of the woman's
story, but it is of such character that We
withhold it for the present, at least. If this
woman's statement be true, MIR. Campbell
should be requested to step down and out,
and the quicker it is done, the better; but
he should be allowed chance to explain,
and the GLOBE is now waiting for his
answer.
This force was short time ago written up
by certain city correspondent, and in an
swer to the charges made by the reporter the
following card was sent to the p. p. Office,
st. Paul:
FARIBAULT, July l0.-The articles that have
appeared in your paper lately in regard to the
police of this city are unqualified falsehood,

I should hold him to strict account,

fhe Radical Conference
THE FLAG OF DISTRESS


NY. Telegram 9th to Chicago Times.
The Republican executive committee contin-
ues its sessions. Republicans outside the COM
mittee room discuss with some perplexity the
real object of the conference. The general
conclusion arrived ct ia that the chances of Re-
publican success had been discovered By the
national committee to be desperate, aud that
this gathering was to sound the alarm. "As
to the journey of Gen. Garfield, " said one, II
do not believe it would do any good. My ex-
perience is that every candidate for President
who has tried the experiments of journeys and
0Vations has been beaten out of sight. The
public have accepted all such demonstrations
as announcements that there was little hope,
and while they come out in crowds to look at
the show they have been certain to vote the
other way"

The National Game.

ond place in the race for the league base ball
contest Providence has clear lead of three
games won, with Cleveland two games behind
in total played. The first game Of the week
between Cleveland and Providence was very
stubbornly contested, Providence winning by
a score of TO l. The work of this day seems
to have been too much for Cleveland, for in the
second game they were shut out, while Provi-
dence scored six runs. The second game was
still more one sided, Providence scoring nine
rurs and again blanking their opponents. Chi
cago has lost one tally in its lead, losieg a

The Buffalo Races.

No trotting track in this country has been
the scene of more historic events than that at
Buffalo, New York, where the trotting and
pacing stars of the country were assembled last
week. The races as whole were good, but it was
left to Hattie Woodward to finish the sensa-
tion of the meeting. Hattie Woodward is a
bay mare, years old, by Aberdeen, a son of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian. She was bred in
Connecticut, but sold to r. @. Pate, of st.
Louis, and trotted her maiden races this season
in the hands of Gus Wilson. and secured vic
tory at Columbus, Ohio, of 2:245s. This left
her under the new rules eligible to the 225
class, in which she was entered at Buffalo,
Springfield and Hartford. of the grand
central trotting circuit. Her race was trotted
Saturday with Keene Jim, Hambletonian
Bashaw, and other good ones. The first heat
was dropped to Keene Jim, and the next three
taken by Hattie Woodward in 2:191k, 2:1511
and 2:l6L. Her first public race was at Mil
waukee in June, where in the 2:50 class
after dropping a heat to Pillsbury's Frank
Fiske, and giving that horse record Of 22811l5.
she won the race with commanding ease, as she
has every race in which she has been started.
Her career thus far is unparalleled in the his
tory of the turf. The little stallion Hannis
caused q sensation by gaining record his first
season of 2:19L. But here comes mare which
in the brief space of two months, jumps from
the green class to the free for all, where at the
close of the present circuit she will
have to confront st. ] ulien. Maud
s., Hopeful. Darby and Charley Ford. And
Judged by her performance thus far. she would
not be last in such company.
No other good performances at Buffalo were
the contests in the 2:2S class, and the free for

testants were Wedgewood. Kentucky Wilkes,

He is Bound to Fight the Scott County
Treasurer Because He Wants the Interest
on the Money--A Nice Muddle.
Dave How, one of the Scott county commits
sioners, occupied three columns of the Jordan
ADVOCATE on Thursday to argue the case OF
John j. Ring, from partisan standpoint, be-
fore the supreme court. The case came before
the court on Friday and How had taken good
to peruse his violent philippe. Whether tn eS
had taken the trouble to read it, is aroth or
question, and we presume the newspaper at
tempt to destroy Mr. Ring will prove of no
avail.
The history of the Scott county treasuryship
is quite peculiar. Ring was farmer living
in the back part of the county when he Was
elected treasurer. He accepted books and ac-
counts from his predecessor in good faith, and
proceeded to administer the duties of the Of
flee. Again following the custom, though it is
an improper one, he accommodated friends by
entering their taxes paid on The books,
having their promise to hand over the money
at alittle more convenient period. This friend
ship, was in some instances, betrayed,
and Mr.. Ring was consequently
brought in default to the county,
the county Mr.. Ring sacrificed his property
and practically turned himself and family
from comfortable home into the street.
The people of scott county believing MIR.
Ring to be an honest man reelected him
treasurer that he might have the benefit of the
salary for another term to make up the loss
which had involved him. Dave How and other
political enemies secured his suspension from
Office by the (Republ,can) Governor, four or
five days before election, hoping thereby to
defeat him, but the people understood
the partisan trick and refused to endorse it.
Ring was both reelected and reinstated in
Office. When the time for entering on his new
term arrived he rendered the county board a
new bond. Dave How of tho First National
bank at Shakopee, is member of the county
board. David yearnssto have the county de-
posits without interest and Mr.. Ring did not
agree with this programme. Hence David
made war and induced the board to reject the
bond. second bond was offered and shared
the same fate. Mr.. Ring, deeming it useless
to attempt to suit the the whims of Mr.. Howe,
declined to furnish third bond,
whereupon the commissioners installed another
man. The lock of the safe was picked but
tent of $4,000 and more and still holds them,
claiming that he is the actual treasurer of the
county. he then commenced legal proceed
ings to compel the new appointee to surrender
and that Is the matter which came before the
supreme court on Friday.
Mr.. Ring is not defaulter to the county
q dollar. Whatever deficit there was has been
made up as already explained. If How only
had those deposits without interest there
would be no trouble.

Secrets of the Whisky Ring---The Famous
"Sylph Contribution to Babcock.--
Grants Complicity---A Hog" News
paper.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-The publication of
the advance sheets of Gen. John A. McDon-
AIDS book containing revelations concerning
the whisky ring, has created some sensation.
The work is strictly personal in its character
and contains some striking passages. Nc
Donald gives lengthy account of the
famous "sylph." He says Sylph's real
name was Louise Hawkins, formerly re-
spectacle young girl who fell into bad ways.
She was known as Lu Hawkins.
While Joyce and Babcock were walk
ing down Fifth street they met
Miss Hawkins. Joyce tipped his hat to her.
Babcock was enraptured by her beauty and
pronounced her as lovely as a sylph. At
Babcock's request Joyce followed her and
arranged for meeting at Fifth street
restaurant. After drinking bottle of wine
Babcock and the woman went to Med Donald's
rooms. After that Babcock always referred
to her as my gylph' and sigued number of
kilograms and letters with the sobriquet.
Mcdonald relates that Louise Hawkins is
still q resident of st. Louis and although un-
married yet, her every want is promptly ad-
ministered to by wealthy gentleman of the
city, in whose elegant residence near Grand
avenue, she is queen.
Of a contribution alleged to have been
made to Babcock, Mcdonald says: ~ start
ed for Washington on learning Col.
Joyce had collected sum of $1,000 from
distillers and rectifyers, which he requested
me to deliver to General Babcock in accord
ance with an understanding he had with him
when the latter was in attendance at the St..
Louis fair. This money, when counted it,
was in bills Of denominations of 81 GOO and
$500. reached Washington on the morn
ing of December 7th, and directly after Of
flee hours, went to the White House. The
first person met there was General Bah
cock, whom found seated at his desk in
the secretary's room. After passing the
usual greeting took the money from
my pocket and handed it to him with the
remark, "Here ia $4,000 which Joyce COL
lected from the boys for your benefit before
I left St. Louis" He took the package and
placed it in his pocket without counting the
money, with many expressions of gratitude,
remarking that he understood the source
fiom which the money came.
He alleges regarding Grant: 81 told him
that I had just given General Babcock
$4,000, which regarded as part OF the pro-
ceeds of our Camnaion fnud In ST.
Louis. He assured me it was all
right, as he had intrusted Babcock with
the details of western matters and whatever
we did with him, Babcoek, would be quite
satisfactory, and added: 81 will see to it,,
however, that you get all the changes you
want
then explained what an uncompromising
old hog, as used the term, the Globe was,
that we had to give that paper from $500 to
ST. 200 every week in order to pacify it and
keep 1t for us in the coming campaign. His
reply was, "Well, you must do the best you
can"
