Room No. 80 at the Windsor hotel has
been the scene fol. the past couple of days
Of star chamber investigation, with two
special agents of the postofice department
as inquisitors on the one hand, and several
mail carriers of st. Paul on the rack, meta
phorically, as the parties of part second. The
agents are s. A. Wilson, of Washington, and
Special Agent Childs, of this State. For
some time past reports have been circulated
of the irregular manner IN which several let
ter carriers have taken advantage of their
positions as government employees to sub
serve their personal ends at the expense of
honest trBdesmen.
It is reported that three mail carriers have
scored long credit accounts with a number
of retail merchants in town, and after run
ming their face as long as possible, they have
repudiated their accounts and fallen back on
the statuteswhich makes it impossible for a
citizen to garnishee the government.
In this way they ran up large accounts
and the merchants have been compelled to
whistle for their money. Complaints have
been made at headquarters, but to no avail,
and the parties interested finally laid their
grievances before the department at Wash
ington, which sccounts for the presence of
the special agents. 1t is probable that the
investigation will result in several heads
rolling into the basket.

The Pioneer Press appears to be exer-
cised because the Democratic convention Sc
Iected one delegate at large to Cincinnati in
stead of four, and alleges that Mr.. Kelly
sought to have but one, in order to be at
the head of the delegation. 1t is not a mat
ter of consequence, but the fact is, that Mr..
Kelly and his warmest friends favored having
four at large. FMr. Doran, who was chairman
of the committee on mode of procedure,
was warmly in favor of Mr.. Kelly, and he
moved for the committee, because he desired
10 secure four at large. The weak point of
the four at large plan was the proposition to
select one from the First, one from the Sec
ond, and two from the Third districts. Sc
Letting delegates at large by districts, was not
selecting them at large at all, and when
Judge Wilder of Red Wing, moved to take
three from each district, and one at large, he
found host of supporters.

The WGysata Branch.

The right of way has been acquired for
the Wayzata spur line from the st. Paul &
Manitoba road, eight miles, to near the town
line Of Minnetrista. The spur will start
from the 26-mile post, about mile west of
Wayzata, on the Fred Holtz place, and run
thence through the lands and farms of
George Higgins, Charles Ice and J. G.
Brown, by the Harrington place on Mud
lake, and southwark through the lands and
farms of N. j. Stubs, s. r. Spates and E.
s. Barnes, crossing the arm of the lake
leading into Crystal Bay, on section Is, by
trestle work with draw for steamers) $50
feet long and then turning west between
Holmes and Crystal bays, will run to the
j. M. Barney place on the south shore
of the west arm Of Lake Minnetonka, in
section 18. This will take the line about
half mile north of Spring Park, the
beautiful peninsula owned by Gen. 4. w.
johnson and others of st. Paul. Chief
Engineer Morris and Contractor Shepard,
who explored the line Thursday, and mar
rowly escaped being left on the lake shore to
shift for themselves Thursday night, are
pleased with the timber and lake scenery
along the line, and promise that this little
railroad will furnish the most delightful of
rides. Along most of the route tho woods
are in their native glory, unharmed by ak
or fire, and the numerous views of the lake
from the line are beautiful almost beyond
comparison.

THREE WIVES.

And Several Counties Yet To Hear From.
1t was announced in a previous issue of
the GLOBE that man named Charles Wood
ruff had beenIarrested in this city, on tele-
gram from Sheriff Dickson, of Canton, Da-
kota, charged with bigamy. Sheriff
Dickson, of Canton, arrived in st. Paul yes
terday forenoon, and conversation with q
GLOBE reporter developed additional infor-
nation concerning the martial adventures Of
this muchly married benedict. In the first
place it was discovered that the name Wood
ruff was assumed as convenient nom de
plume as cloak to conceal his former Ca
reer in the matrimonial line, and that his
correct name is George P. Beck.
A few months since Beck, alias Woodruf Fl, ,
ingratiated himself into the favor of lady
of good standing in Canton, and
after brief courtship he sought

jingled out of tune, owing to the discovery
oy Mrs. Woodruff that she had been de-
ceived by the gay charmer, who had as many
as two wives living in the East. The infor-
nation came from wife No. 2, who, learning
of his doings, Informed wife No. 3 of the
dilemma into which she had been drawn by

eled all the way to Crescoe, Iowa, to verify
the story of wife No. 2, who sought ssclu-
sion in the quiet of that village. The story
of his wrongdoing was abundantly verified,
and information was obtained of his first
wife, who is living a retired life in Indiana.
Tn the meantime the scoundreI smeIt an
apopletic mouse, and he suddenly skipped
for parts unknown. He was arrested in this
city, as before stated, and Sheriff Dickson
obtained requisition from the Governor
for his transfer to Canton. The party will
leave to-day, and the prisoner will be made
to confront the full measure of woman's
scorn as melted out by his third wife. In ap-
pearance he is slenderly built, wears brown
moustache, has dark complexion, and light
eyes relieved by glasses, dresses neatly, and
among silly women might pass for masher.
Up to date he has only three wifes, but there
may be other counties yet to hear from.

LEAK IN THE TREASURY.

For many years past the Congress of the
United States has been engaged in the not
very Iaudable business of pouring water into
rat hole, or in other words throwing away
the money of the people. The river and
harbor appropriation bill seems to be con-
venient vehicle for the distribution of the
funds of the people, and each year this bill
seems to increase in proportions, until it
threatens to absorb the entire revenues of
the country. 1t seems to be regarded as
necessary to provide for the improvement
of creeks in the country capable of floating
mud scow, for deepening every "harbor''
on all the duck-ponds in the country, and
digging ship canals where water can never
be made to flow.
Perhaps one of the most expensive 'public
works. that have been undertaken by the
general government is what is known IS the
Fox and Wisconsin river improvement. 1t
ia very generally known that for many years
past the government has been taxed from a
hundred Thousand dollars upwards for this
enterprise, which consists simply of cutting
canal to connect the Fox and Wisconsin
rivers at Portage City, where they come
within about a mile of each other. The ditch
was dug originally at the expense of the
State, but since then the federal government
has assumed charge of the matter, and has
expended in all several million dollars in the
hope that by success of this canal uninter-
rupted water Communication could be OBJ
tanned from Green Bay to the Mississippi
river and thus prove benefit to commerce.
The canal is somewhere near thirty feet in
width, and contains an average Of four to
five feet of water. It is capable of
floating small sized craft. but
for some reason none of these craft
seem disposed to avail themselves of the
privilege. Two or three times a year small
pleasure steamer passes through the canal
and it is of record that steamer of the di-
mensions of an ordinary wash tub has made
the trip from Green Bay to the Mississippi.
But the value of the improvement to COM
MERGE cannot be seen without the aid of the
most powerful microscope. At no season of
the year is the stage of water on either the
Fox or Wisconsin river sufficient to float
boats that can prove of any service to COM
MERGE, and even if it was the course of the
rivers it is 30 sinuous that it will be impossi-
BILE to save anything in the cost of transpor-
tation by means of the route proposed.
It is about time that this leak in the
treasury was stopped. Water navigation
between the Mississippi and the lakes is
impracticable-at least by this route. All
the money expended on this improvement
has been practically thrown away. The
route will never save a single dollar in the
cost of transporting produce to market. If
the government attempts to establish it as q
permanent water way and keep it in repair,
it will involve an annual expenditure of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars without any
corresponding benefits. It should be
stopped at once.

THE ILLINOIS CONTENTION.

The Illinois Republican convention has
carried out the programme marked out for
it by the Senatorial triumvirate. It has
elected forty-two delegates to the Chicago
convention, adopted the unit rule, and in
structed them to vote first, last and all the
time for the nomination of q. s. Grant to
the Presidency. This was not accomplished
without some strong opposition, but the ma
chine proved to be in good working order,
and everything moved forward in excellent
style.
With the prestige of the united support Of
his own State, which proves to be very
strong one, Gen. Grant can enter the con-
yention with the certainty of success before
him. He has already clear majority of all
the delegates to the convention, and it ia
doubtful if the formality of ballot will be
gone through with. His managers are among
the most adroit in the country, and if they
clamation-spontaneou as it were-they
would feel that they had added greatly to his
chances of election. There seems to be no
possibility of failure of their project, fol-
they have the work well in hand, and are
sustained by the ablest machine politicians
Of the whole country.
Grant being in the field there is certainty
of alively campaign. He is unfortunate in
having record. That record is not wholly
savory one, and will no doubt be thorough
~ inspected and dissected before November
next. There were more scandals during the
eight years of his occupancy of the. White
House than during the entire period of oul
existence as republic scandals in which HI

interested.
Gen. Smiths friends will find that they
have not completed their work when they
have secured his nomination. They will be
kept busy-far buster than is agreeable, per-
haps-in explaining Ewhy Grant tolerated
this or that abuse in the public service; why
he retained in the employ of the govern
ment this or that person after he had been
proved to be scoundrel; why he feathered
the nests of his favorites at the public ex-
pense and without regard to the public ne
cessities; and why he proved himself to be
supremely selfish, arbitrary and dictatorial
ruler rather than servant of the people.
Perhaps, in order to save time, they might
begin at once, for they may rest assured
that they will have their hands full.
Though the Grant managers have sue
ceeded so we'll in manipulating the conven-
tons, they will scarcely succeed as well in
manipulating the elections. The people
think and act for themselves. They are de-
liberately of the opinion that two terms in
the Presidential Office are enough for any
person, and that even if another term was
allowable Grant has not deported himself in
such manner as to entitle him to it.
They will relegate him in November next to
the shades of private life, from which he
will never again emerge to take official sta
