The Suicide of Peter Burnett.

The inquest upon the remains of Peter
Burnett, known as "Indian Pete" who
suicided Sunday afternoon at the saloon
of VIM. Sands, Jackson street, was held at
the store of Messrs. Mccarthy & Donnelly,
Wabashaw street, at 10 o'clock yesterday
forenoon. The evidence showed that de-
ceased met his death in the manner stated
in the GLOBE yesterday morning. The
only additional incident of interest being
the fact that Frank McCardy, knowing
Burnett's condition of mind and despera-
ton, bought at his (Burnett's) request, the
pistol with which the deed was committed
barely an hour and half before the act
was consummated. This fact was severely
commented upon by Coroner Davenport
and members of the jury, the former ex-
pressing regret that there was not some
punishment provided.for him who thus
assisted perhapsIthoughtlessly,i in the perpe-
tration of such deed. As it was the verdict
was simply death by his own Hands.
Burnett has small tract of land at White
Earth, where his father, wife and two
children reside. He was educated at Fari-
bault, and was an excellent penman, and
well qualified for the transaction of ordi-
nary business pursuits, but drink, cards and
women blighted his life, and led him to fill
a suicides grave.

The action of the Chicago common
council in directing the mayor to enforce
the ordinance that compels the telegraph
companies to place their wires under
ground by the LIST of May is, to say the
least. ill-advised, and will probably cause
great Inconvenience to the public. Under
ground telegraphy is as yet only an expert
ment of doubtful practicability. The
electricians have had such poor success in
their tests that they admit the plan will be
a failure unless some new system of insu-
lation is invented and the wires protested
from dampness. To place the telegraph
wires of Chicago underground is therefore
tantamount to the destruction of the en-
tire system. The courts will no doubt in
terfere to stop such wanton destruction
of property as is contemplated.

Ex-SHERIFF JOHN GRACE desires the
GLOBE to state that he is not candidate
for mayor, and that the mention of his
name in connection with the Office has
been without his authority or knowledge
even. Further, Mr.. Grace says he deeply
appreciates the many expressions of con-
hdence he has received from the Demo
cratic party of st. Paul and Ramsey coun.

mayor, or any other Office, he simply de-
sires to assist in electing the nominees of

A Small EN- bezzIemeut.

August Blytt is the name of young mar
who has up to la st night been in the en-
ploy of the Keystone Wringer company a
No. 345 Wabashaw street. His stock in
trade consisted of assurance and a capa.
city to convince thrifty housewives of their
need Of ''wringers." He is represented to
have done land Office business, but failure
to make due returns of the proceeds of sales
has placed him in hoe, in sorrow, in Jail.
On balancing accounts last evening, G. N.
Ambrose, agent for the celebrated Key
stone labor saving contrivances
reached the conclusion that
Augustus was just S24 short in his returns
and nailed him to that amount. The fail
ure of Augustus to comply with the de-
mand occasioned suspicion in the agents
mind as to the integrity of his employer.
whereupon he arrested the latter and de-
livered him over to the iailer, who will this
morning deliver him over to the Judge.

Sharps and Flats.

The present engagement of Robson &
Crane in st. Paul promises not only to
equal but surpass their previous successes.
An audience comfortably filling the Opera
house, and which laughed itself hoarse and
sore, in fact tired out, was the
reception accorded them last evening.
The play presented was "Sharps and
Flats" and to use a favorite expression
of Cutler Sharp (Robson) it was a
"corker." The two comedians were in the
happiest of humors, evidently pleased with
themselves and the rest of the world, and
they Just "tisd themselves loose" for jolly
good time, and they succeeded in real
izing their effort to the fullest.
The fun commenced with the
very fine appearance of Dullstone Flat
(Orane), in the first act, and it was contin-
uous, the only breaks being from sheer
exhaustion, until the curtain dropped on
the finale. Cranes attempt at playing
the blood, winding up with the duel
in the second act, was exceedingly
funny, the applause being continued until
the two comedians appeared in front of
the curtain and bowed their acknowledge
ments. Another taking situation was the
counting scene between Sharp and the
young widow, miss Lsonora Bradley, the
lady proving happy foil to the extrava-
CANT protestations of her wooer. Sharp's
makeup after returning from "mur-
dering that editor" again convulsed
the audience and secured another call be-
fore the curtain.
The support was excellent, that of the
widow by Miss Bradley being especially
good. Miss Flora May Henry made very
attractive Nellie Flat, while Mrs. Mary
Myers made all that was possible of the
character of Flats wife. The Rev. Percy
Costing, of F. E. Ambrose, and the Capt.
Leslie Everton, U. S. A., Chas. S. Dickson,
were admirably done.
This evening, the very funny comedy of
sour Bachelors" in which the two fun
provokers AID the company appear to ex-
cellent advantage.

Killed at Forest Lake.

VIM. Endress, German, eighteen years
of age, in the employ of Adam Decker.
Jackson street, was instantly killed Sunday
afternoon at Forest lake, twenty eight
miles from the city, on the st. Paul &
Duluth railroad. He had been out on the
lake IN a skiff, and returning to the shore
was using his gun to aid in landing when
it was discharged, the charge
entering his head and killing
him instantly. The deceased was an
orphan, and had lived in the city about
three years, his guardian being Albert
Kohler, merchant, at Wacouta. The re-
mains arrived in the city yesterday after
noon, and were taken in charge by Mr.
Decker, under whose directions they will
be inferred.
In connection with the sad affair dea
of annoyance has been occasioned Mr.. VIM
Bucknum, in the general ticket and freight
Office of the st. Paul & Duluth road, by The
causeless publication in the Dispatch of a
statement that he was a companion Of

Tilden was not nominated at Cincinnati
as he ought to have been. Without going
into any argument, it is Fufficient to say
that General Garfield was right in the view

THIEVING CREES.

A Party of British Indians Steal Lot of
Stock and are Pursued-Two of the Raid
ers Killed.
HELENA, NJ. T., April 23.-Information
having reached Ft. Assinniboin that stock
had been stolen by raiding party of Brit
ish Crees from the vicinity of the Teeton,
| about twenty -eight miles from Benton. A
I troop of the Second cavalry, under COM
mand of Capt. Norwood, was ordered by
Canadian officer at Ft. Assinniboin on the
18th inst, to proceed to the boundary line
and attempt to intercept the raiders. The
troops left the fort at o'clock p. m. the
same day and travelled during the entire
night on their way to the boundary.
Thursday, the 10Th, the sergeant of the
troop with Indian scouts, who were in ad-
vance of the main column, came
across the party of Crees in pos
session of the stolen stock near
the eastern end of White Horse lake not
far from Sweet Grass hills. The Crees de-
ployed and opened fire upon the party
The leader of the Crees in attempting to
crawl where the sergeant had taken posi-
ton with his scouts, was killed by the SER
geant. Capt. Norwood, upon hearing the
firing, hurried with his command to the
scene of the fight and deploying his force
commenced to dislodge the Indians. One
more Cree was killed, after which the In
dians escaped across the line. The live
stock stampeded during the fight, and
were not recovered. Gen. Ruger has estab-
lished summer camp of five companies
in the Sweet Grass hills, and if the Crees
come over the line again they will doubt
less be treated as hostiles. The British In
dians have been annoying the settlers con
siderably of late, stealing stock. There is
expected to be lively work on the border if
theY cross again.

PL4Ns FOR BUILDING.

The Splendid Structure of the German
American National Bank-A New and
Notable Architect in st. Paul,
The plans for the new building for the
German American National bank have
been prepared by Messrs. G. Q. Wirth and
R. W. Eltzner. The building is located on
the corner Of Fourth and Robert streets,
with 100 feet front on Robert and
$50 feet on Fourth. 1t will be six
stories and basement and aside from
the portion of the first floor
used for the bank will be devoted to Offices.
The building will be begun by the middle
of May and will be finished by the fall of
1884. The cost will be $150,000.
Mr.. Eltzner, who is associated with Mr..
Wirth in the preparation of the plans, is a
newcomer to st. Paul, but is very supe-
rior architect. There was compe-
tition in securing the plans for the
bank and they obtained them owing to
superiority in the plans they presented.
Mr.. Eltzner is a graduate of the academy
at Dresden, in which place also he has
held positions of trust. He was private
architect of Queen Garcia of Saxouy, and
built government buildings at Dresden
for which he received several prizes
For four years he was superin
tenden of the public school and sani
tary buildings of Dresden and five years
director of the building society. He has
also passed three years in Paris and trav
eled several years through France, Italy
and central Europe studying architecture
In this country Mr.. Eltzner has built iror
furnaces in Vermont and Duluth, anC
wherever he has. been has given the ut
most satisfaction. He has only been 1
resident of st. Paul for few months, blu
is valuable acquisition to the city.
