A TRICKY GRANGER.
who Has Been Operating Upon a
Leading Law Firm.

The Winnipeg Times Of recent date con-
tanning q historical sketch of man named
4. c. Granger, which was not particularly
Complimentry in its tone. He was charac-
teri2ed as a general dead beat and it was
stated that he had left Winnipeg without
accounting for considerable sum of ron
ey which he had collected. 1t appears
that the same Granger is now working"
Minneapolis, and it becomes necessary to
to add chapter to his biography. He
came here from Winnipeg about two
months ago and secured a ''iob" in the law
Office Of Wilson Il Lawrence, where he
did writing and discharged miscellaneous
duties. Not long after he asked one of
the gentlemen in the Office to cash Il check
for $lj, which he did. a few days after
the check was returned protested. Mr..
Wilson also cashed one for $I6 which met
the same fate. The name that figured on
both WAS that Of J. &. Burrell. Before he
had been in the office many days gentle
man called on one Of the firm with IL
board bill Of Granger THAT gentleman
being absent at the timcJ which he wanted
the lawyer to pay. This scheme, however,
did not work. Later, Il man came to the
Office % pay Il bill of $50 due Mr.. Wilson,
and Granger took the money. Some time
after, Mr.. Wilson called on the man for the
$50, and WAS told that it had been paid
and showed the receipt. On being asked
about the matter, Granger said he had
taken the money and laid it on Mr. Will
sons desk but forgot to speak about it.
This was "thin" enough for any lawyer
though nd the man was ordered to leave
the Office at once which he did. The facts
as stated are youched for by gentleman
in the office who wished to save other
parties in the city a similar experience
with the same man. The unreliable Gran
gcr is a man Of over 20, bald and gray, of
rather prepoascs8ing appearance. He is
pronounced by all who know him to be 4
dead beat of the first order.

Mr. RiddeIl entered the Army of the Potomac
as drummer boy. and for deeds of vslor was
rapidly promoted. At seventeen years of age
he was known as ''The Boy Maior,'' and while
attached to Gen. Hancock's staff disguised as
poor boy of Virginia, he entered the enemy's
lines, and finally secured employment as body
servant to the confederate General Ewell. The
history of his adventures and almost miracu-
lous escape from this perilous undertaking, will
be made the subject of this thrilling lecture.
A Cambridge, Massachusetts,, paper in speaking
of the success # lecture course in that city
said: Zone of the most attractive lectures de-
hvered was that of Rev. Mr.. Riddell. His
graceful and finished oratory, his graphic de-
scripton, his accounts of hair breadth escapes
rendered his narrative of thrilling interest,"
The Washington Journal of 1865 said:
'Among the many deeds of heroism which at
tended the last campaign, none shines more
brightly than that of Capt. r. r. Riddell, of the
Sixty New York Volunteers, who is the
youngest officer of that rank in
the army. On the I'd of April
he led the forlorn hope which
stormed the works of the enemy, and in the
midst of most desperate hand to hand combat
within the enemy's works, he sprang upon the
rebel color bearer, shooting him and literally
tearing from his hands the colors. For short
space the contest ragged with terrific fury around
this brave young officer, who chung to his prize,
though twice felled to the ground, until he was
able to fling it back over the heads of his men,
whereupon the enemy broke and fed. Cap. Rid
dell arrived in the city yesterday, and viii re-
main at Wizards until the captured colors can
be properly presented to the war department.
This act will give him medal of honor from

SIM PIE BUT EFFICIENT,
The Pfefferle Fire Escape Common Sense
and Successful Observation-Disclosures
Takes the Cake,

The Pfefferle Fire Escape Common Sense
Takes the Cake.
Yesterday afternoon Agent G. G. Hal
lam, of the Pfefferle fire escape, manu-
featured by ". G. Gray at Piqua, Ohio,an
patented in 1879, gave an exhibition of its
practical working from the south side of
the ST. James hotel on Third street.
The whole apparatus of this invention is
SO thoroughly simple that its workings
could be readily understood by the chill
dren who were in the large crowd of inter
ested spectators. and the general verdict of
all was that at last the fire escape, and the
only common sense one yet invented, was
before their eyes.
This apparatus, as shown, consisted of a
fine duck canvas bag, three feet in dame
ter and nine feet in circumference, and
forty-six feet in length, which depended
from frame work in third story window
of the hotel, and was held down in the
street, in the form of a chute, on an angle
of about forty-five degrees. When not in
use, this frame work swings back on hinges
from the window, with the canvas chute in
proper place, backed with a circular piece
of iron in order to promote quick entrance
of the body thereto, feet foremost. On an
alarm of fire in the building, by raising
the lower sash Of the window and swinging
this frame into position, the chute drops
to the sidewalk perpendicularly,d down which
any one can descend in perfect safety by
throwing out his elbows and knees, and thus
graduating his speed more perfectly than
could be done by any mechanical con-
trivance.
The first man down can carry the chute
into the middle of the street and attach it
to hook made to secure it in position, or
hold it by his feet while the crowd follow
as fast as they can enter the hopper. Be-
sides this, running along the outer and in
ner side of the top of this duck bag is an
endless cord, running on pulleys at the top
and bottom, which the voyagers can take
hold of if they feel at all timid and thus
guide themselves from going down with
too great celebrity, in case they are too af-
frighted to run the machine with the ell
bow and knee brakes, which they have at
their personal command.
The exhibition opened with grand de-
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-04-08

scension of newsboys, bootblacks and
other lads, who came down from above
to terra irma, either faster or slower, as
they choose, just as easily and safely as
sliding off a log.
Alaughable incident in the earlier stages
of the exhibition was the descent of a lad
whose dog would not be separated from
his master, and who jumped into the es-
cape, and both came safely to the surface,
with a thoroughly surprised dog at the
sudden change of base. Quite a number of
gentlemen made the voyage thereafter,
either taking the descent with greater or
less rapidity, and giving the escape
thorough and satisfactory test. This was
followed by the descent ofMr. Hallam with
his little boy in his arms, and by several
test descents in the chute when hanging
perpendicularly from the building,
all of which gave the audience
the highest satisfaction and led them with
out dissent to pronounce the invention the
next thing to a fire proof building for
safety.
The one objection of the audience was
evidently the frail material with which the
escape was constructed, and its liability to
be consumed in large fire before the in
mates of building could descend thereby.
The objections seemed to be thoroughly
answered by the agent, who stated that the
canvas duck by certain process was alb
solutely fire proof, that its angle from the
building when in operation added further
safety to it, and that when building was
so far consumed as to destroy its efficiency
there could be no lives to save inside.
The price of the apparatus is placed at
$1.50 per foot of the chute or bag, and it
would seem from its simplicity of charac.
ter, its ease of being placed in working or
der in case of necessity, its availability of
use in both public and private structures,
and its small cost, that as help preserva-
tive to human life it must come into
thorough, speedy and general use.

A saltwater Man in Chicago.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

CHICAGO, April II. j. Sempson, of
Saltwater, Mimi, came to Chicago on a
pleasure jaunt few days since with a
large roll of greenbacks in his pocket. On
Friday night, after partaking freely of the
whisky sold in the South side saloons, he
made his way to the house of Jennie
Payne, colored woman on South Clark
street. When he left this place he went
without his purse. Fastening to the near
est police station he preferred charge of
larceny against Jennie Payne. The latter
was arrested and locked up. When she ap-
peared before Justice Prindeville, Sempson
told his story, but said he could not stay in
the city to fight the case through the
courts. Justice Prindeville, therefore,
changed the charge to disorderly conduct
and fined the woman 800.
