Stiefel the Patriot.
GVolkszeitung, May 81.

l'OihoLOkeuuSS way O1.
Hungry and thirsty and tired, the veterans
returned night before last from their patriotic
mission, decorating the graves of their fall
EN- comrades. When the command, ssbreak
ranks, had been given, Sergeant Stiefel of the
Sixth Minnesota volunteers, stepped to the
front and made the following impressive little
speech:
Comrades, am hungry and thirsty and al
most tired to death. 1 have reason to believe
that you feel about the same. / propose,
therefore. that we go to stiefel's place
What there is in the shape of ham, cheese,
sausage, wine and beer In the house, is at
your command-free of charge Comrades,
soldiers, and boys, will you accept
my proposition?'
One would think they would accept, the
way they cheered for Stiefel.
The ranks were reformed and with the
the Great Union Band ahead
the veterans marched to Stiefel's place, corner
of Fourth and Wacouta streets. No graves
were decorated there, but with every social
glass, and every bite of delicacies SO iiberally
furnished, their patriotic feelings increased in
intensity. The Great Union band played some
of their choicest airs, everybody was happy,
and the general verdict was that Stiefel's hos.
pitable entertainment was the crownipg act of
the festival.

What the CITY Ought to Do.

Considering the heavy investments of the
railroad companies in permanent building i'm
provements in that part of the city, and the
immense amount of heavy hauling to and
from the freight depots, railroad men claim
them and are unmindful of the public interests
in not promptly grading and improving
Fourth street below jackson, and in not re-
quiring the lots along that street which are
covered with stagnant, sinking water to be
filled up above the water level. Any one who
will walk down Fourth street these days will
acknowledge that the city is derelict. The
filed street is three or four feet above grade
opposite the st. Paul & Omaha company's
building. In wet weather the mud is deep and
sticky and decent street crossing cannot be
maintained. When the sun begins to dry up
the mud it stinks abominably, and when
fine, nasty dust, which penetrates
everywhere. Opposite this same fine building
is a stagnant pond or pool of water, covering
two or three lots, which is disease breeder,
and offensive to the nostrils of everybody in
the neighborhood The health authorities of
the city ought to inspect the whole neighbor-
hood, and demand such improvements as are
necessary for the public health. The city
council and board of public works ought to
move promptly in the matter of street i'm.
provements in all that part of the city between
Jackson and Broadway. Third and Fourth,
Sibley, WacOuta, Rosabel and Broadway should
be brought to grade, provided with good side
walks and be paved this season, as soon
as the work can be done. And the low swamp
lots, since they cannot be easily drained should
at once be filled. A walk about that section
during the busy and hot hours of the day is
recommended to all city officers.

THE ST. CROIx ACCIDENT.

Gen. Flower Investigates and Revokes the
Having concluded his examination into the
disaster to the steamboat Knapp, at Rock
Island, on the river st. Croix, on Sunday, the
18th of May, by which two lives were lost,
Gen. Flower, inspector and supervisor Of
steamboats,. was engaged yesterday in pre-
pairing his report to be forwarded
to the secretary of the treasury.
In making his conclusions, which form the
basis of bis report, Gen. Flower finds that so
far as the accident is concerned, per SC, it was
not owing to any carelessness or misconduct
upon the part Of the captain or officers.
He thinks, however, that perhaps an error
of Judgment was made by the pilotin attempt
ing to run the steamer and barge through so
narrow chute with a full head of steam. The
testimony, which is voluminous, and carefully
taken, shows that the death of the men was
directly owing to injuries received by striking
the barge, the shock being such that they
were unable to help themselves when thrown
overheard.
To this cause is attributed the fact that they
made no effort to catch the floats or life pre-
servers which were thrown to their succor.
The report finds the captain culpable in but
one respect only, viz: His neglect and viola
ton of instructions in failing to carry two
life boats; in giving the permit for the excur-
sion, Gen. Flower gave explicit orders that
the steamer must carry two life boats.
While the question of one ortwo bosts has
no bearing whatever upon the accident, still
he neglected to comply with a direct order,
and for failure in this respect Gen. Flower has
revoked his license as master.
In arriving at the latter conclusion Gen.
Flower has adhered to the spirit of a very un-
pleasant but stern duty, and although it may
it establishes good precedent which will
work incalculable good in the future.

THE LONDON HORROR.

The Idea of a Monument Abandoned
Queen Victoria Expresses Her Sympathy.
LONDON, Ont, May 31.-The citizens COM
mittee decided almost unanimously to abandon
the idea of public monument, which, it was
said, would but perpetuate the memory of our
own humiliation and blundering. But it was
decided to erect substantial memorial in the
shape of permanent relief to those made desti-
tute by accident, and to accept outside offer
ings to such funds. Mayor Campbell received
the following telegram to-day from Major
"QuEBgc, May 36.-The queen has ex-
pressed, through the governor-general, her
great sorrow on hearing of the accident which
has so recently occurred at London, and desires
to express her deep sympathy with the bereaved
families. (Signed) VICTORIA.

An Outrage Under the Form of Law.

In 1876 proceedings were begun in Washing
ton against Messrs. Grant & Brosseau, of st.
Paul, for sentering one hundred and sixty
acres OF government land with bogus half
breed script. The transaction was fixed as oc-
curing in 1874 while the firm dissolved in
1878. In spite of this, Mr.. w. H. Grant was
indicted for conspiring to defraud the gov
ernment and dragged to Washington. He
employed Messrs. Sanborn & King to defend
him, and promptly gave $4,000 Eail. From
that day to this, Mr.. Grant has been demand
ing trial, but without success until last
week. Applications to reduce the bail,
to dismiss the proceedings or give trial,
were all Intellectual, but last week
Mr.. Grants attorneys did succeed in obtain
lining hearing. The trial took place, and
Mr.. Grant was promptly acquitted, as every
one who knew of the circumstances was
aware he would be.
The outrage perpetrated is too gross to be
properly characterized. An innocent man,
held for five years, with criminal proceedings
hanging over him, and no opportunity to vim
dicate himself, is a fine commentary upon the
style of administering Justice.

swindled by the Bogus Check Game.

The train which left st. Paul yesterday
morning on the st. Paul & Manitoba road for
Fargo contained among the passengers Joe
Poetz of Indiana, who was bound for Alexan-
dria to buy land. Soon after leaving St. Paul
stranger who was also "going to Alexan-
dria," ingratiated himself with Poetz. At
Minneapolis the confederate came on board to
collect freight bill of the man who had
made himself agreeable to the Indianian. A
check for $3.50 was rendered in payment. OF
course the bogus freight collector could not
change it, but perhaps the gentleman who was
going to Alexandria could. OF course he
could, to the extent of advancing $3.50 and
taking the check as security, to be redeemed
when they both reached Alexandria. The
swindlers then slid off, and the Indiana man
was left with worthless check and without
his $3.50. When ,ciH people tumble to this
racket?
