An ENTERPRTSING BURGLAR.

He Went a-Burgling at W.A.CuIbertson's
Residence Last Night and Got Nabbed
for His Pains.
The domestics employed in the family
of Banker W. A. Culbertson, at 435 Sum
nit avenue, were thrown into paroxysm
of terror last night at IL 80 o'clock, by the
discovery of a strange man hidden in the
cellar of the mansion. The startling in
formation was communicated to the head
of the house with the addenda that the
strange man was armed with a club and a
six foot knife, and evidently intended no
good. This intelligence was in turn COM
municated to the police, and Sergeant
Walsh and Officer Baer fastened to the
rescue, the bad man meantime being
guarded by the timorous servants. Upon
the officers arrival the intruder was
dragged forth from his place of conceal
ment, his weapons confscated and himself
totted over to the station, where he was
registered under the name of William
Shonheider. The prisoner is young man,
residing at the corner of Fifth and Oak
streets, and has been employed at the
West publishing house on Wabashaw street.
He is said to have been employing his
leisure hours in familarizing himself with
the exploits of the James boys, and sought
an exemplifcation of their felonies at the
expense of Banker Culbertson. In this he
was left, and a period put to future at
tempts in that direction.

usual has secured cottage at Detroit for
the coming summer.
Not only on account of its fame as
summer resort, but also for general bus
mess the year round, there is urgent need
of a new and frst-class hotel. During the
past winter, it has been utterly impossible
to accommodate visitors to the place,
and the people realize that something
must be done. Mr.. Bowman never
does anything by halves, and he and those
associated with him offer a site
and cash sufficient to make $4,000 bonus
to any one who will build a $4,000 hotel.
The hank will besides furnish one-half the
capital and guarantee 10 per cent interest
on the investment, or it will turn over the
entire bonus to any one who will erect and
conduct the hotel.
There are already 400 hundred appli-
cants from St. Louis, New York and other
cities for rooms for the summer season.
Detroit is the summer headquarters of
several gun clubs, who with their friends
will fill hotel alone. This is one Of the
best opportunities ever offered a hotel
man, and parties interested should lose no
time in addressing Mr.. Bowman, at Detroit.
Parties calling at the GLoRE Office can also
obtain additional information.

of one young man of st. Paul, which time

THE ROLL C4LL OFINDIAN4

THE time was when the "Ohio man.
seemed to monopoIize official positions,
and the Buckeye state was more conspicu-
Gus and the sayings and doings of its
prominent men were more quoted, than any
dozen other states all put together. Some
how Ohio Republicans have disappeared,
an eclipse has TRANSFERRED and the old Re-
publican bulwark has become Demo-
cratic fortress. When Indianr was "save6'
the tables were turned, and the
flow of good things transferred to the new
convert. We are unable to present COM
plete list of the men who had to be re-
warded, but the following will give the
public some idea of the purchasing power
of the spoils, and the Offices that had to be
distributed in addition to the half million
dollars that was poured out in 1880 to
save" the state. This is the partial roll
call:
w. Q. Gresham, Postmaster General.
John G. New, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury.
W. W. Dudley, Commissioner of PEN
sions.
John W. Foster, Minister to Spain.
Lew Wallace, Minister to Turkey.
VIM. Williams, Charge d'Afairs in Uru-
quay and Paraguay.
D. S. Alexander, Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury.
w. W. Curry, at the head of division in
the Pension Office.
Judge Walker. Deputy Commissioner of
Pensions.
Jerome Burnett, chief of the National
Bank division in the Treasury.
Charles H. DaYidge, chief Of the Re-
demption division.
VIM. Beauchamp, Consul to Gale, Swift
zerland.
Prof. II. W. Wilson, chief Chemist of the
Department Of Agriculture.
In addition to these, fifteen or twenty
consulships are credited to the state,and be-
tween one and two hundred clerkships in the
departments. Indiana knew she had been
Saved" and demanded full recognition
for her favorite sons. The crop of its
great men is bountiful, but in a little while
the places that know them, will know them
no more. The roll of patriots who wish to
serve their country is large, but they have
been just smart enough to kill the bird
that laid their golden eggs. In order to
''save Indiana again it will be necessary
to put every man in the party in Office, for
the crowd of soreheads is copious, and as
ravenous as it is numerous.

Commercial Drummers.

There seems to be move on foot among a
number of merchants to try and dispense with
the services of these hard working snd faithful
employees, and go back to the old-fashioned way
of selling goods, but 1t cannot succeed, for the
drummers controlling their customers control
the trade. Many of the fraternity have drawn
large prizes in the lotteries, and as their oppor-
tunity for observing the workings of the lot
teries is great, they are unanimously of the
opinion that the Commonwealth Distribution
Co. is the fairest in the world and that the great

SENATOR LOGAN has never told his age.
That is a secret he has kept away from the
correspondents, and an interesting bit Of
information he has withheld from the
compiler of the Congressional directory.
John Is neither SO young nor yet so old
that he need be so coy or ashamed of his
years. The silver threads do not tinge his
raven locks, but the crow-foot has crept
upon his massive features. In spite of
this, it is not generally thought, we believe,
that he is quite old enough to secure the
nomination for President, though he has a
charming family that could make the
White House brilliant.

THE AgroBNEF GENERAL REBUKED.

THE ATTORNET GENERAL REB UKED.
The Washington Ne,Cs this morning
states that the Hon. Richard Crowley,
representative from the Thirty first dis
trict of New York, has resigned his ap-
pointment from the department of JUS
tice, as special counsel for the United
States in the prosecution of the South
Carolina election cases. All of the time
that he has been in congress, Mr.. Crowley
has been receiving his salary as a con-
gresham, and much of the time
has also been under large
pay, as one of Brawster's
-handred-dollar- -day-and- expenses
men. Public attention has recently been
called to this indecency in a very pointed
way. A few days since New York Jour-
nal published one of Brewsters certifi-
Gates issued to Crowley, allowing him the
compensation of about three thousand
dollars as an employe of the attorney gen
erals Office, Lashed by the vigor of pub
lie condemnation and the fearless criticism
of the press. Mr.. Crowley has, it
seems, concluded to relinquish one of his
engagements, which as a member of con-
gress and an honorable man he had no
business to accept. In all of the suits in
which he has appeared as Brewster's en-
ploye he had also to vote, and speak if he
chose, in his capacity as a representative.
Hired TO advocate one side or view of a
case, he carried into congress his pur-
chased attitude and whatever opinion
he there expressed, or vote
he cast, was corrupt and
scandalous. Crowley was corruptly en-
ployed by the department of justice for this
corrupt purpose. The fee held out to him
was tempting, and he did not have the
moral courage to turn the enticing satan
the attorney general of the United States
out of his house. Beside, he saw other
congressman doing the same thing, and so
appeased his conscience. Mr.. Crowley in
now declining to go further in the employ
ment of the graceless Brewster will receive
such credit for it as he is en-
titled to. If he will go step
farther and cover back into the United
States treasury as conscience money. the
fees he has taken, he will show to the
public degree of manliness which will be
a whitening rebuke to the highest legal Of
f1cer OF the government. The act of Crow
ley IN res igning as he has, is a singing

TIRE NEW FIRE CHIEF.

Capt. Black Arrives in the City, But is
NOn-Committal as to His Policy.
John T. Black, the new chief engineer of
the fire department of st. Paul, arrived in
this city yesterday marning, and last even
inc was present at the meeting of the fire
commissioners. He is good, solid chunk
of man,good natured and pleasant in ap-
pearance. A representative of the GLOBE
attempted to interview him, but
he positively declined to be interviewed,
and declared that he had nothing to say
whatever. He had not been in the city
long enough to look around and see any
thing at all so as to be able to have any
thing to say. In reply to interrogatories
he said he had been in fire department
service since 1872. He was up here several
weeks ago,when he saw the fire commission
ers of st. Paul. At that time the commits
sioners were in treaty with Mr.. Shay, of
Chicago, and he could therefore have
but little to say to them. Of
course, if they did not make any arrange
ment with Mr.. Shay they would talk with
him. He was asked if he thought he would
improve the department very much, when
he replied, evasively, that he could not say
as to that for the reason that he had
not examined the department as it stands
to-day, and therefore could not know how
good it is now. He hoped, however, to
do something to improve it. That was
what he came for, and should try
hard to make the department
worthy of the great and splendid city of
the Northwest. He would go earnestly at
work and do his best. He should study
into the condition of the department and
would from time to time issue such Or
ders as the exigences of the service should
in his Judgment require. A little time
will soon tell whether any improvement is
being made
