Just at the dinner hour on Wednesday
last the alarm of fire was sounded. The fire
was in room occupied by Mrs. Clark, in
the wooden range adjoining the Court House
yard, and was caused by little boy touching
a match to some straw that had been pro-
cured for filing beds. 1t was extinguished
by few pals of water and without having
done much damage. Matches and children
are almost as dangerous a compound as gun
powder.
Last Monday evening a man was on our
streets selling prepared cartridges of giant
powder, for the purpose of wholesale
slaughter of our fish in our lakes and rivers.
Promiscuous spearing, it seems, was not
destroying our fish fast enough, for that
allowed the small ones to escape, and so this
wholesale system of blowing them up, both
great and small, has been resorted to. Such
slaughter ought to be punished by impris-
onment in the states prison.

FORT STREET.

Objections to the Confirmation of the As
sessment for Matchmaking the Thor
oughfare.
Fifty or moro property owners on Fort
street by their attorneys, Bigelow, Elan
drau & Squires and John B. Brisbrin, Sat
urday filed objections to the confirmation
of the assessment for matchmaking Fort
street. The cost of this pavement being
$500 per lineal foot, which is upward of
So per foot more than it cost in Minneap-
oils to lay down granite blocks upon wider
streets, has queer look and the large ag-
gregate cost to the abutting property ard
the fact that this is the initial to other i'm
provements of a similar character through
out the city makes the case one of general
interest.
The objections are fourteen in number.
Some of them relate to details such as
non compliance with legal prerequisites
of the charter in ordering the work, miscon-
duct and irefficiency in performance, etc.
Others are fundamental and jurisdictional.
OF the latter we give the substance.
First-The city has no power to make
the assessment.
Second-The city never aquired juris
diction or authority to make the assess
ment.
Third-The pavement was never petl-
toned for by the owners interested, nor
any of them.
Fourth-All of the property benefited
has not been assessed and some property
has beens expressly exempted and the
street railway has an easement in the center
of the street OF sixteen feet and is not as
sessed, neither is it paved and the proper
ty OF the cross streets has not been assessed.
Fifth-The assessment is discriminative
and specifically oppressive.
Sixth-The pavement has not been laid
upon any established grade.
The plans attached to the contract have
been departed from, and the work com
promised to the service of certain AUDITING
owners to the detriment Of others and the
strsst.
Other cases involving some of the same
questions are now before the district court
upon objections made by the street rail
way company, claiming that it is exempt
from taxation for local Improvements of
this character.
While referring to the topic perhaps it is
not impertinent to refer to a bill which
was passed by the house under suspension
of the rules and is nov in the senate, which
contemplates the confirmation to the street
railway of very important rights and fran
chises. This corporation SO persistently
claiming exemption from assessments
which bear heavily upon other property
is it not potent inquiry whether or not
terms should be executed as a condition of
what amounts to a re-grant of privileges
Bills of so general character it would APP
pear should not be summarilya disposed
of at the instance of interested parties
without hearing of the other side.

SALTWATER GLoBULEs.

i The residence of Chas. Estabrooks, at
Oak Park, was partially destroyed by fire
on Sunday morning. The flames broke
out in the addition at the rear of the main
building, ahd were only subdued after a
hard fight. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated from defective chimney. Loss
estimated at $500, which is fully covered
by insurance.
The adverse report made on Saturday
in the chamber of commerce, does not
finally settle the question of annexation.
The people living on that little strip of
ground in the town of Saltwater, and on
the south line of this city, are certainly
| laboring under certain disadvantages,
which would be removed by annexation.
Without doubt the people occupying this
strip of territory will make another move
| to attain their ends.
The fremen's ball of Thursday evening
undoubtedly had diminishing effect on
the attendance at the Grand Opera house
Saturday evening. But even with this
drawback the Ideals had more than an
average house. The performance proved
| a success. Many excellent hits were made
and were we'll received by the audience.
! Many persons were heard to ex-
press the wish that the Ideals would pay
the city a second professional visit at no
! distant day.

ABARKTYG CUR rMPALED.

The Minneapolis Tribune evidently de-
sires to hold discussion with the GLOBE
upon the subject of the st. Paul city print
ing, but it cannot be Accommodated. The
GLOBE cannot engage in a controversy
with thief.
The GLOBE can, however, accommodate
Mr.. A. B. Nettleton, the reputed editor of
the Tribune, with an exposure of his ras-
cality.
In 1873, the delectable Nettleton was re-
siding at Philadelphia, and he represented
to a New York gentleman that he had a
bonanza, which belonged to his brother ~,
for sale. It consisted of GAO acres of land
adjoining the townsite of Glyndon, MINI.
He offered this, in behalf of his brother,
for the sum of sixteen dollars per acre.
To secure the trade he agreed, in writing,
to take it off the New York gentleman's
hands at the end of four years at the pur-
chase price, with eight per cent interest, if
the land proved unsatisfactory.
The money was paid prior to the de-
livery of the deeds, and when the deeds
came ths purchaser noticed thai they came
from Nettleton and Jay Cooke, instead Of
his brother, but he did not then know the
fraud that had been perpetrated. The
reader should refer to the following dia-
cram:
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-02-26
Glyndon Town Site.
A
800 Acres.
y
800 Acres.

The land which he contracted to buy IS
represented by "a" and 'B,'' but some two
years after the purchase the gentleman
found that his deeds were for the land
marked''B" and 'C' in the diagram. The
reader should note that ''C' does
not djoin the town site while the 800
acres marked ''A;' which he supposed he
was buying does adjoin the site.
A further investigation showed that af-
ter contracting to sell GAO acres adjoining
the torn site, at sixteen dollars per
acre, he bought the 800 acres
marked &C." for screen dollars per acre and
turned it over to the purchaser at sirteen
dollars, instead Of giving him what he had
contracted for.
In other words he stands as thief of
record. for the difference between sixteen
and seven dollars per acre, on 800 acres.
After contracting to sell certain land
purporting to adjoin town site at sixteen
dollars per acre, he buys other land not
adjoining the site at seven dollars per
acre, and turns it in at the full figure OF
S9Ctee2l dollars.
Of course he refused to make his four
years guaranty good, though he was re-
peatedIy called upon to do so. Having
lied and swindled to secure the money it
was not in his line to refund.
The Sunday Tribune contained the fol
lowing announcement:
The Congregational Club of Minnesota, which
now numbers eighty members, wi meet at the
residence of A. B. Nettleton, 927 Fifth avenue
south, at $50 Monday. Subject of paper anc
discussion, 1.-The Sunday Question"
The GLOBE suggests that Nettletor
adopt as coat of arms for his bill of fare
this evening the diagram given above
The eighty members" in the "Congrega
tional Club" might be reduced to seventy
nine" if the canting hypocrite and swim
dler herein exposed was kicked out as ht
deserves.

The GGoBE reproduees this morning an
article which appeared in the Minneapolis
Tribune twelve years ago. Il was written
by Hugh Green, ESQ.,, editor of the Tribune
at that time, and the facts were supplied
by Col. W. S. King. The significance of
thearticle is the inside history it affords OF
the men who then conducted the St. Paul
Press, and now conduct the Minneapolis

been continued 10 the present day and the
