The Confidence Operator.

Detective O'Connor arrived on the early
train from Winona yesterday morning, having
in charge Alfred Hespeler, an account of
whose swindling transactions appeared in yes
terday's issue of the GLOBE. He was before
Judge Burr. and the hearing was continued
until the Goth inst, the bail being fixed at
50, 500, in lieu of which he was committed
In palliation of his wicked doings, he states
that his intentions were honorable, and that
he intended to pay his debts in full. In addi-
ton to his other transactions, he is said to
have obtained $l25 from Hink Kittsen, the
latter endorsing worthless draft.
Hespeler held an interview yesterday with
Mr.. w. w. Erwin and the latter will be re-
tanned as his counsel. For some reason his
case was not taken up by the grand jury and
it is thought that an effort will be made to
settle with those whom he victimized. Mr..
May, one of the latter, called at police head
quarters yesterday with the view of putting
in his claim. Mr.. Horton, of Ransom q
Horton, secured the return of the seal cloak
from Hespeler's wife in Chicago, it having
been sent to her as gift.

Charles Derdoski Thrown Down by Three

Highwaymen and Robbed.
About half-past ten last night Polander,
from Shakopee, named Charles Derdoski, was
robbed of $40 under the following circum-
| stances: He is a blacksmith and worked in
Shakopee. For the first time in his life he
came to st. Paul yesterday, and while here
endangered to find a man that he worked with
in Shakopee. During the evening he was on
Minnesota street and made some inquiries about
his friend, when three young fellows, from
IS to 20, said they knew where the friend
that he spoke of lived, and offered to show
him the way to the house. He started out
| with the three young fellows, who took him
up Minnesota street. When they reached
Twelfth street, Derdoski inquired of them
what street they were on, and when told, said
there must be mistake, as he thocght he
at that moment they jumped upon
him and threw him down. One put
his hand over the PROSTATE mans
mouth. One jumped on him a I'd helped to
hold him down, while the third showed his hand
into the mans pocket and took out his pocket
book containing $70-two twenty dollar bills,
two tens, one five and S. in small bills. The
man tried to call for help when they held his
mouth more firmly. One OF the youthful rob-
bers asked the fellow that took the pocket
book, if he had it and on being answered in the
affirmative, they all started on run down
Minnesota street. The robbers were
young, but they evidently knew what
they were about for they did

hard working man, and says he has been at
work in the shops of the st. Paul & Omaha
road at Shakopee, and was paid off yesterday

very bold piece of business and very hard for
the Polander.

Some Confederate Chris,n,ases.
Richmond State.1

Mr.. James D. McCabe has recorded
some interesting experiences of Christ
mas under the Confederacy. The dinner
of 1851, he says, did not differ materially
from its predecessors in the "piping
times of peace" and though in 1862 the
feast was homemade, it was enjoyable.
Turkeys were only 81 apiece, and salt
had fallen to SO cents pound. The
Yule log was obtainable at SIS cord;
wines were to be had by the very rich,
and sorghum rum, or apple, peach or
blackberry brandy cost $50 gallon. A
few toys were left in the stores in
the cities, and firecrackers, essential to
the Southern festival, were So pack,
By 1868 the closest search of Santa Claus
revealed no playthings, and firecrackers
indicated great wealth or reckless extrav-
agance The few turkeys in the market
were $40 and $50 apiece; whisky or sor-
ghum rum for egg nogg cost SIS or $50 "a
gallon; sugar was S. and $40 pound,
and flour $125 barrel. With gold at 2,
800, plain Christmas dinner for large
family cost 5000 or $500. In 1864, when
Christmas fell on Sunday, gold was at g.,
600. Flour was 5000 barrel; sugar 81 an
ounce; salt, 81 pound; butter, $40; beef,
s35 to $40. Wood was 800 cord. Mr..
McCabe describes Christmas dinner at
a country house near Richmond.
The four gentlemen were in uniform,
the three ladies were in homespun. They
had for dinner $500 ham, and the last
turkey on the plantation, value $175, with
800 worth Of cabbages, potatoes and
hominy. Corn bread was served, made
of meal at $50 bushel and salt at 81 a
pound. The dessert was black molasses
at $50 gallon, and after one cup of tea
real tea, worth 800 pound, treasured
for the occasion as surprise, and not
sassafras-there was coffee at discretion,
made from sweet potatoes cut into little
squares, toasted and ground down.

Extending the Fire Limits and What
Comes of 1t.

comes OF LIE.
A lively breeze is anticipated over the
amendment to the fire ordinance passed at
special meeting of the council last Monday
night and including blocks numbers twelve,
thirteen and fourteen as part of the territory
within the bounds of which it shall be unlaw
full to erect anything bat brick or stone
building. As amended the first results OF the
ordinance were developed Yesterday. Previous
to its passage the firm of Hauggi, Cady &
Medicke commenced the construction of a
frame building on Fifth near Franklin streets,
which is located in the district subject to The
conditions of the ordinance and contrary to
law.
Chief Strong, of the fire department, noti-
fed the proprietors and workmen that their
action was contrary to law, and that they
must stop work. This not having the desired
effect, complaint was made out and put in
the hands of an officer to serve. On reading
the complaint the carpenters stopped work,
and here the matter rests. 1t is thought that
the owners of the building will contest the
ordinance as to their case.

SALOON FRACAS.
In Which Heads were Battered, Furniture
Broken and Other Damage Done.
[Special to the Globe.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 13-A right lively fra
cas- occurred in John York's saloon at No. %
Washington avenue north last evening.
Heads were battered, furniture was demoI-
ished and window glass was shattered. It
was free fight, a genuine go-as-you- please,
and withal it was a poor fracas for Officer
Butler, who has reason not to easily forget it..
You see he had just been at police headuuar-
tiers to answer roll call and was returning to
north Minneapolis and was passing the sa-
loon all unconscious of the riot raging within
when out rushed young York, SON of the
saloon keeper armed with ponderous poker,
Before the officer had time to collect hls
thoughts he was dealt stunning blow across
the head with the poker. At this critical mo-
ment Officer Norman very OPPORTUNITY hap
pened along and Butler, having somewhat re-
covered from the effects of the blow, they to.
gether succeeded in quelling the row and ar.
resting young York and unceremoniously
turned him into an iron cage for the night.
BE will be given an opportunity to explain
his peculiar conduct before his honor this
morning.

The Only Mast0d0ns.

Haverly's European Mastodons drew an
other large audience to the Opera House last
night, and, as on the night preceding,a splen-
did entertainment was given. Judging from
the delight and enthusiasm of the immense
audiences, which never fail q minstrel per-
Torrance by this incompatible troupe, this
species of amusement retains as powerful a
hold upon the affections of the people as ever.
And it admirably fulflls its mission, the aim
of which scars not necessarily higher than the
ability to create laugh. This feat is accom-:
plished by the present company to perfection
me The songs, comic sayings, puns' Jl6e es and u
tertainment is enhanced by the efforts of the
speciality performers. The brief engagement
was great success, and the great forty may
feel always assured of hearty reception il
