The Star Route Trial.

WASHINGTON, July Joseph Palmer, of
Billings, Mont, conductor, was the first wit
ness called in the star route case this morn
ing. He had been employed by John w. Dor
sey to carry mails over route 35,05l, from
Bismarck to Fort KeOgh. John w. Dorsey
explained to him that his object was to secure
an extension of the service. After the estab-
lshment of the route, in a conversation with
Dorsey, the latter party asked him to go into
partnership with him on the route because he
owned stock and material necessary to run it..
Witness declined because he thought there
was no money in it. Dorsey then assured him
there would be an increase of $25, 900. Wit
ness did not know how this increase was to be
obtained. Dorsey, while avoiding to mention
any particular person, said he had brother
in the senate who would help the thing
through. He also said there would surely be
two increases within year.
NEW INDICTMENTS HOPED FOR.
at the instance of counsel for the prosecu-
cution the grand jury will be reconyened Mon
day when newly discovered evidence in the
star route frauds will be laid before that
sbOdY. The prosecution have no doubt of
their ability to obtain new indictments, but
defendants cannot be tried before October.
Ihe testimony of Contractor Walsh is said to
form part of the new new evidence.
1t is rumored that prominent officials not yet
openly mentioned have been indicted iu con-
nectiOn with the star route frauds. In the
case now on trial the government expects to
close within three days.

Stop That WhistliD9.

For some time there has been good deal
of complaint about the whistling Of locomo-
tives within the city limits. People complain
that this practice is INDUCED in to such an
extend that their slumbers are disturbed at
night, and nervous ladies and children, in
some parts of town nearest the roads are very
much annoyed. or late these
complaints have been SO frequent
that the mayor has conluded to take action.
He accordingly, yesterday, instructed the
chief of police to arrest all locomotive en-.
gineers who blow their whistles in the city
limits. The arrests will be made under ordi-
nance 81, which provides that no railroad
company shall blow the whistle of locomo.
tive within the city limits of st. Paul.
This is a pretty broad proposition,
and 1t is thought by some to be modified by
a subsequent proviso, which says "that the
requirements Of this section shall not apply to
locomotives or cars on the track of the ST.
Paul & Sioux City railroad, and the Milwaukee
& st. Paul raiload, west of point 800 feet
west of the crossing of Chestnut street, in the
Fourth ward, nor to trains and loco
motives running on the trestle
work fronting the Mississippi river, in the
First and Fifth wards, east Of point 800 feet
east Of the elevator on the st. Paul & Pacific
railroad" II the engineers sing their little
songs outside Of the prescribed limits, the
chief may find it difficult to stop the orchestra
under the present ordinance

Two Swindlee.

An Englishman near Sixth and Rosabel
streets, was swindled out of $13O, which
he loaned to a confidence man, who
played the old game of having some
baggage TO pay for and wanted to borrow
that amount for short time.
John Glenn, of Glendive, was relieved
of $50 yesterday afternoon on Third
street near tho corner of jackson. This
was the softest snap ever heard of. The
gentleman from Glendive got nothing in
return, not even bogus bond, or bill
of the goods, or anything whatever
There were two of the swindlers. After
they got the $50 into their hands,
Charlie had business up stairs and
would be down in a minute and 90
somewhere withIG Glenn of Glendive. He
was gone some time, and the Glendive
man became rather impatient, when
Charles pal said he would 60 up and
bring down the first swindler. So the
second swindler went up
stairs, and Glenn, of .Glendive,
continued to wait until he got tired. Ali
he got out of that transaction was q
pretty sharp piece of information, for
which he paid good round price. He
won't try the experiment over again,
probably.
