CITY GLOBDLEs.

1 y
ceived notice of the allowance of an invalid
pension claim for 81 ,1S260.
Mr.. Conrad Schmidt yesterday paid Sl6S.4O,
| in duties on imported wines and liquors re-
ceived through the custom house. e
At 1 o'clock this morning there was only
twelve denizens of the cells at the City hall,
with several wards to hear from.
| About midnight last evening Officer Hanft
found q woman named Mrs. Clark, from Min
neapolis, raving drunk on Cedar street, and
took her to the lookup.
The stencil from the trench being dug on
Wabashaw street for the gas mains is almost
intolerable. Some disinfectant should be en-
ployed, for otherwise a disinfectant may re-
suit.
Some property owners along Nelson avenue
are circulating petition protesting against
the regarding of the avenue, for doing which
work proposals are now being invited by the
board of public works.
J. Pede rson, the proprietor of the st.
Thomas hotel, on Rosabelle street, kicked
| dead-beat out of his house on Wednesday,
and the D. B. had Peterson arrested. The
case was continued until 22d inst.
At an early hour yesterday morning some
| boys were discovered endeavoring to effect an
| entrance into the rear of Booths restaurant,
adjoining the GLOBE Office. They were fright
| ened off before they succeeded in accomplish
| ing their object.
| The June term of the United States circuit
court, Judge Nelson presiding, will resume
business on Saturday at 10 a. m. All the
| struggling business of the court will be dis
posed of, ald on the 10Th of September the
| celebrated Harwood cases will be taken up.
Again the GLOBE calls attention to the rot
| ten street pavement on Third street just above
| the Metropolitan hotel, between Washington
and Franklin streets. 1t is disgrace to the
| city and positively dangerous. Whose duty is
| it to see that the repairs, so obviously neces-
| sary, are made?
Officer O'Keefe gobbled up a Minneapolis
man who gave the name of Thomas Lennon,
Yesterday afternoon in the Sixth ward, for in
decently exposing his person on the public
streets. This disgusting habit seems to be
characteristic of Minneapolis men OF GER
tain class. The practice does not meet with
favor in st. Paul.
An engine ran off the track on the Manitoba
road at an early hour last evening, which
blockaded the track so that the excursion
| train to Lake Minnetonka could not pass, and
the excursion had to be given up for last even
ing. 1t was sore disappointment to six car
loads of excursiOnists. Some how or other
| these Lake MinnetOnka excursions are un-
fortunate.
An elderly female, by the name of Annie
Hasnl, made complaint against two young
girls named Annie and May Benisch for using
abusive language towards her. The parties
live near Stahlman's IS brewery on the Fort road.
1t was simply neighborhoed quarrel and
Judge Burr very properly dismissed the case
with some good advice to all the parties.
The insane woman mentioned IN the GLOBE
yesterday as being arrested by Officer Ken
nealey at the Manitoba depot, proves to be
Norwegian woman, living in the vicinity OF
the Emigrant house. 1t seems she has been
deserted by her husband, and this has tenn
porarily destroyed her mind. Her case will
be looked after by the proper authorities.
A very pleasant affair occurred at the Pres
byterian church of Hastings last Wednesday,
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, being the mar
rage by the pastor, J B. Donaldson, of j. E.
Nelmes, Jr., OF this city, and Miss Stella
Bradbury, one of Hastings most charming
young ladies. The happy pair spent yester-
day in this city and Minneapolis, and leave
this afternoon for Duluth and the lakes.
Sheriff Mertz, of Cass county, brought down
two prisoners yesterday from Brainerd, named
L. M. Perkins and Joseph Miller, charged
with selling liquor to the Indians. They were
taken before United States Commissioner
Cardoza and both held to bail in the sum OF
| $500 to await trial. Miller gave the required
| bail, and Perkins was held in the Ramsey
county Jail in default of bail.
Col. Won Baumbach, secretary of state, re-
turned to the city from his Alexandria home
Yesterday. Col Won Baumbach reports wheat
| cutting virtually finished, stacking well ad-
vanced and some threshing done in his section.
The result of the threshing confirms the esti-
| mates before the harvest, that the crop is
very superior one, large in yield, and extra
quality. One field of 105 acres yielded little
over twenty-five bushels to the acre, strong
sixty-one pounds to the bushel.
The work of renovating the Opera House
has been very nearly completed. There have
been great many Improvements made, and
more will be effected before the opening of
the season. 1t is the intention to have the
theatre provided with steam heating apparatus
an improvement greatly needed. The appar-
atus will be introduced and be in full opera
ton before the opening of the winter season.
| Commodore Davidson is determined to make
the st. Paul Opera House equal to any in the
West.
Hon. W. G. Fowler, of Washington county,
was in the city yesterday looking as happy as
an independent farmer has a right to look.
While the summer is not ended, his harvest is
over and his grain is all saved. He has
eighty seven acres in wheat, all of which is
threshed, and it yielded him 1 ,740 bushels, be-
ing an average oftwenty bushels to the acre.
| Sixty acres of this land has been cultivated for
the past thirty five years, thirty years of which
| it has been farmed by Mr.. Fowler. This shows
what intelligent farming will do in Minnesota.
| Mr.. Fowler does not believe in robbing his
| land. He feeds it, and in return it feeds him.
The next time GLOBE reporter hears an
alarm of fire, even if it is at midday, he will
arm himself with lighted candle to search
for it, even as old Diogenes did when he went
| out to look for an honest man. Between and
9 o'clock last night an alarm was sent in from
| box 25, at No.2 engine house. A diligent
search by the fire department as well as by the
GLOBE reporter failed to find any cause for the
alarm, except from the excited imagination of
some demented individual who saw the head
I1ight of a locomotive and supposed it was a
tremendous confagration. Only that and
nothing more.
The two men who attempted to burglarize
Commodore Kittson's residence were brought
before Judge Burr yesterday morning. Their
actions showed that they were no strangers to
police courts The wounded man, who gave
his name as John Lavalle, when his name was
called and informed of the charge against him,
arose and with all the suavity of an old prac-
titioner at the bar said, ''Your Honor, we
waive examination in this case" He was held
to await tbo oaction of the grand jury in de-
fault of 81 600 bail. His companion, Henry
Murphy, known as One-Eye Murphy, stated
| that he was not ready for trial and asked for
a continuance until the 25th inst, and he was
also committed in default of the same amount
of bail. Evidently they are two old hands at
| crooked business.
Between 10 and II o'clock last night Offic,
