Another and Doubtful Report.
CHICAGO, December 20.-A special from
London says: The Governor of Siberia has
just issued a proclamation announcing that
the Arctic voyage ship Jeanette is safe with
all on board well and all her equipments in
tact. The Governor, who for long time
has taken great interest in Arctic explora-
tions. caused an extraordinary exploring
party TO be sent out TO hunt traces of the
Jeanette, when he learned fears were enter
tanned that misfortune had Oyertaken her and
that relief expeditions were being sent out
by different governments. Knowing the de-
lays incidental TO such governmental action.
he at once equipped aud sent out on his own
account a party of the most experienced and
reliable explorers al his command, with most
ample powers and mos, positive instructions.
These men at once entered upon the under
taking with all their souls, aud stuck TO their
work despite the most dangerous obstacles
until they found traces Of the lost ship and
finally overlook her. The people aboard the
.Jrannctte were much asfunished when they
were Informed by the Siberian explorers
thai they were the object of the solicitude OF
all civilized people of the world.

A SON of Clark Mills, the sculptor. took
plaster cast Of Guiteau's head the other day.
and II Is stated the cast shows his head is
more fully developed on one side than the
other. Guteau wishes TO prove from this
that he Is insane. There Is nothing very UNI
usual in the development Of certain organs
In one lobe Of the brain heing greater OF less
than The other. 1t might not therefore be
exactly right 10 hang Guiteau for this fact,
but If the hangman does a good job his
whole head will be Oh one side pretty soon.

IMPEACHMENT COURT.

Radical Encouragement of the Senate

The senator's. when they convene as high
court of impeachment at 10 o'clock this
morning, to hear the arguments upon the de-
murrer of defendants, will be somewhat sur
prised, and probably we'll pleased, with a
change that was made yesterday by the sar-
geant-at-arms and assistants, in the arrange
ment of the room. The presidents chair,
which formerly stood in front of one of the
large windows on the Seventh street side of
the building, has been removed to the west
side, midway of the room, aud the desks of
the senators arranged to face it in elliptical
form. To the immediate right of the presi
dent will be seated the board Of managers,
with counsel for the defense still further to
the right, while the officers of the court will
be seated upon the presidents left. AS here
tofore, visitors will be seated at the north end
of the building.
Nearly all the senators absent Tuesday when
the court was reconvened reached st. Paul
yesterday, so that the sessions before which
The argument upon the dtmurrer is to be
made, will be nearly or quite full.

THE Republican newspapers are in the
habit of noticing Riddleberger, nominee
of the Virginia Readjuster caucus for
United States Senator, as one ''of whom
the country has heard more or less. !"
Exactly. 1t heard "more" of him, about
the time he was rejected as person un-
fit to hold subordinate position in the
body he will at no distant day enter as q
peer. and ssless'' of HMM the old strain
since his influence and vote were found
necessary to prolong the existence of the
disreputable political complications
which made possible the elevation of a
man of his stamp to seat in the Senate
of the United States. In their zeal to
serve "the party" and make the best of
the situation, our Republican cotempo-
raries have-we trust, however inadver-
tently-ignored entirely the difference
between man of merit and sone of posi-
ton only.

NO WOMAN NEED APPLY-6N OUT
RAGEOGS OBDER.

President Arthur has made virtue of
political necessity, in excluding women
from the public service. There is no
doubt but that the offices are needed to
strengthen the political machine whose
power the President has so often invoked
in the varying fortunes of his political
life. 1t is fact, of which the stalwart
executive feels bound to take notice,
that woman is not the potent factor
needed to make the machine do efficient
service in an emergency like the one
which now threatens theS'success of his
administration AS stroke in the di-
rection of civil service reform, the Presi-
dents order excluding from the
public service the widows of some
of the most faithful and patriotic
soldiers who died in the service
of the country, is in keeping with the
policy of his party for the last twenty
years. We venture the assertion that the
condition of the postal service in the
Richmond, Memphis, Louisville and a
number of MINOR offices, presided over by
soldiers widows, is in better condition
to-day than any Office under the control
of stalwart politician who holds his
position with the tacit, if not expressed,
understanding that he is to do the work
of the machine when called on.
The exception made in favor of the
poor creatures who have through one in
fuence and another secured obscure po-
sitions in the departments at Washing
ton, at salaries scarcely sufficient to sup
port life, is no doubt due to the fact that
he relies on the influence which keeps
them there to sustain and shape the fu-
ture policy of his administration. SEN
ator Hears bill to extend the right of
suffrage to women, it is strange to note,
was reported to the senate the very day
the president announced his order ex-
Guiding them from the right to labor for
the government. The party of "great
moral ideas" is indeed party of diversi.
fed policies and interests.

For Which the G. M. & st. Paul Railway
Company Is Asked to Pay Sc, 200.
O'Brien & Wilson, attorneys for A. P. o.
from, have commenced suit in the district
court against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st..
Paul Railroad company, in which Judgment is
demanded for $4,000 together with the costs
and disbursements of the action. October 10,
1881, Ostrom was passenger upon the pas
senger train bound from Milwaukee to st.
Paul, that was ditched near Pewaukee, Wis,
by which two or three passengers were fatally
injured, and many others who were more or
less seriously hurt, q full account of which
accident appeared in the GLOBE, at the time.
Ostrom in his complaint alleges that the &C.
cdent was due to unskillful management on
the part of the railroad company, and that by
it he lost his right eye and the entire use
thereof, and became and is totally blind in said
eye; that he has suffered and still suffers great
pain from SAID injury, and that he has been
and still is prevented from work for the sup
port of himself and family, by reason of all
which he has suffered damage in the amount
as above, 5000, for which judgment is de-:
manded.

GIVES UP THE STRUGGLE.

The Suit of Officer Nugent Against John
Wann for $500 Damages Stricken from
the Calendar Of the United States Circuit
Court.
Some two and half years ago, as many will
remember, police officer James Nugent, in
pursuit of party fleeing from arrest followed
him in behind the buildings composing the
Wann block on Sibley street, the officer, in
the darkness, falling into an excavation used
as an alley or roadway, by which he fractured
his left arm SO severely as to nccessitate ampu
tation. In due time Nugent, by his attorneys,
Messrs. Davis, O'Brien and Wilson, com
menced suit in the Ramsey county dis
trict court against Wann, laying his
damages at $500. Wann, however
succeeded in getting the case transferred from
the county district court to the U. s. circuit
court, upon the ground he was an alien. 10
this latter court the case has been twice tried,
the jury in both instances disagreeing. Officer
Nugent not being blessed with suffciency of
worldly wealth to afford the fixing of a law
suit of this character, with results SO doubtful
as shown by the two trials already had, the

TENERABLE ROUE.
He Deserts His Wife and Falls In Love
with His Servant Girl.

He Deserts His Wife and Falls In Love
with His Servant Girl.
The topic of discussion in high toned Ger
man circles Of this city and Minneapolis just
now is concerning the strange infatuation of
the latter city for his servant girl, for whom q
basely criminal passion led him 70 desert his
wife and family and forfeit the fruits of long
life Of honest industry. Twenty-Five years
ago there came from the Fatherland to this
city man named John G.. Kraerslein. He got
married, and after a residence of three years in
st. Paul he removed to Minneapolis.
Fortune smiled upon him and in process of
time he became the father of five children. He
engaged in the brewery business and is said to
have amassed large fortune. After a long
and successful business career he retired and
changed his place of residence to Milwaukee,
his cup of worldly bliss being well nigh filed.
and as the sequel proved destined to become
| worsted. The viper came in the form of an
evil passion for his servant girl which the lat
| ter reciprocated. So complete mastery over
his better nature did the passion obtain that he
informed his faithful wife a short time
since that he no longer loved her.
At the same time he unblushingly confessed
that her image in his heart had been misplaced
to make room for their servant girl, who had
been in the family seven years. The wife be-
came almost distracted, and then commenced
a series of prosecutions and threats against
his wife, whom he finally compelled to begin
suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery.
| The venerable Lothario then removed to
Fargo, taking his mistress with him, basely
DESERVING her who had stood faithful during a
welded existence of twenty years. The woman
who thus acquired the affections of hus-
band and father is about 81 years of age and il
is not known whether or not they have been
married. Certain it is however, that if the
| indignant relatives of the wronged woman,
many of whom reside in st. Paul, lay their
hands on the aged miscreant, they will make
| it hot for him.
