SALTWATER GLOBULEs.

| o. W. Harrison, from Sherburne county,
was handed over to the prison authorities
yesterday. He is under three years SEN
tence for the crime of larceny.
Charles Benham, in the employ of Isaac
Staples at the camp on Chase's brook, had
his feet badly frozen few days ago. He
was yesterday brought to the city in order
to procure surgical aid.
The residence of Chas. Estabrooks, at
Oak Park, which was partially destroyed
By fire last Sunday morning, is insured in
the st. Paul Fire and Marine. The loss will
probably reach the amount named in the
GLOBE yesterday.
Mr.. Mathews, the present mayor of this
city, whose term of Office expires in the
spring, declines reelection. AS Mr..
Mathews has discharged the duties con-
nected with the position to the great salts
faction of all concerned, his refusal to &C
cept second term is much regretted.
A man was arrested yesterday afternoon
charged with committing crime against
nature. The offense is such an unusual
one, and of so revolving character, that
the name of the accused is withheld until
after his examination, which will take
place this morning at the police court.
The following named prisoners were re-
ceived at the penitentiary yesterday. from
Ramsey county: Frank Carver and John
Sampson, larceny, sentence one year and
seven months each; Joseph Bloomer, who
has served a previous term, has two years
and seven months for the crime of larceny.
As Mr.. Mower owns So per cent. of the
st. Croix Boom corporation stock, he very
naturally would like to have the boomage
increased. But unless some Of the other
stockholders take the same view, or until
he becomes possessed of additional stock,
Mr.. Mower is not likely to have his wishes
gratifed in regard to the matter.
A boy by the name of Dupee, who is in
his seventeenth year, has for a short time
back been engaged in pllfering from the
confectionery store of John Peterson, on
Third street. John kept missing small
articles, but could not tell for his life
where they went. The last thing missed
was box of cigars. AS Dupee had been
mistrusted, he was taken in hand by Chief
Shortall, who discovered that the lad was
in possession of key and had entered the
shop at his will. The boy was locked up,
and will have a hearing to-day in the
police court.
It has been suggested that so important
change in the management of the city
affairs as will be the case when the board
of public works is established, should have
been first submitted to vote of the peo-
pie. But few persons in the city, outside
of the chamber of commerce and the mem
bers of the city council, have given the
subject much attention. But in some way
the idea has gained ground that instead of
one street commissioner there will be
three when the new board is appointed.
As the details in regard to the whole affair
are but imperfectly understood by the
great majority of the people it would, per-
haps, be well to withhold Judgment until
such time as it can be proven whether the
creating of such board is for the best
interests of the city, or the reverse.
The following was learned from prom
inent physician of this city, who was wit
ness to what is related. On Tesday ev en-
ing the doctor referred to was called to
visit family in the north part of the city.
The house in which his patients reside is
a one story frame, set up on olochs by
which the wind is permitted clear sweep
underneath. When entering the doctor
found the mother fervently engaged in
prayer. So earnest was she in her dey O.
tons that she had permitted the fire to go
out and both rooms had become uncom-
fortably cold. On the bed, covered with
some rags,were two children, both of whose
faces were flushed with fever brought on
by exposure to the cold, and greatly aggra-
waited by want of proper care and atten-
ton. In the back room the youngest child
was found in dying condition. Stimu-
lants were at once administered by the
physician, which had the effect of rsviving
the little one from its death-like stupor
AS the doctor had fore5een the relief was
only temporary. The child died early the
following morning victim of ignorance
and neglect.
