Death OF ISAAC nTarkler.


The sudden death of Isaac MarkIey, of
Wyoming, Chisago county, on Tuesday
morning last, at the age OF sixty-three years,
will be learnsd with keen regret by many of
the older residents of st. Paul, where he
was engaged for many years in business.
On Tuesday ne arose in apparently usual
health, and after partaking of hearty
breakfast, walked into his parlor, where
he was heard to fall, and lived but mo-
ment after his wife had reached his side.
Having complained at intervals, the past
few years, of severe pain in the chest it is
supposed he expired from disease
of the heart. He was a
son-in-law of DR.. Comfort, of Wyoming.
and leaves a wife and adopted child, and
family relatives in Philadelphia, of which
city he was native. His funeral will be
held at Wyoming to-day. He was very
intimate friend of James K. Humphrey,
Esq, of this city, whose wife has gone to
Wyoming to attend his funeral.
Mr.. Markley first engaged in the dry
goods business here in 1858 and kept the
store under the old Winslow house, Seven
Corners, since burned down; in 1878 he
was engaged in the hardware trade, and
later in the dry goods trade on East Sew
enth street. He afterwards held a position
in Gen. Averill's headquarters until the
close of the war and moved to Wyoming
about 1870.

4 UNExPECrED PR0CEEDING.

Geo. III. stahlman Arrested for Forgery
and Released on Bail.
Judge Brill's chambers of the district
court were the scene yesterday afternoon
of quite an unexpected and startling de-
velopment in the case of I. V. D. Heard,
receiver, against Geo. H. StahIman, Grun-
hagen & Frey and Dawson & Co.
A hearing had been set for
2 o'clock, Mr.. Heard appearing for the
general creditors of Stahlman, the object
being to take the testimony of Mr.. StahI-
man with the view of opening the case.
1t will be remembered that at the time
OF Mr.. Stahlman's departure last Septem-
Der bill of sale of his cigar business was
made over to Grunhagen & Frey. A re-
ceivsr was afterwards appointed and an
effort had been recently made to set aside
the sale on the ground that it had been
made with the view of making Dawson &
Co. the preferred creditors.
At2 o'clock the parties appeared in
chambers when general surprise fol-
lowed.
Mr.. G. D. and J. D. OBrien, counsel for
Dawson & Co., called Mr.. Stahlman outside
$1,000 in favor of Dawson & Co., signed
by Geo. n. Stahlman and endorsed on the
back by A. Stahlman.
Mr.. OBrien asked Stahlman if he made
the note, and if A. Stahlman had Endorsed
it, to which he replied that he had drawn
and Endorsed it himself under the direction
of Adam Stahlman. Mr.. O'Brien then
called upon Sheriff Richter to arrest
g. L.
into custody.
The complaint under which the arrest
was made was sworn to by Albert Scheffer,
the banker, and it alleges that on the 14th
of April, 1882, Geo. H. Stahlman wrong
fully and unlawfully published promis-
sorry note in favor of Dawson & Co. for
s., 300, said note being false and fraudu-
lent.
After the foregoing proceedings Mr..
Stahlman was put on the stand, and the
afternoon was taken up with his examina-
ton.
At $50 o'clock he was taken before
Judge Burr and released on bail of $500,
the sureties being Messrs. Heard and
Mead and Chris. Stahlman. The hearing
was set for the 9th inst, at 2 p. II.
Messrs. Heard and Mead characterize the
proceeding as entirely unwarranted, stat
ing that the arrest was made at a iuncture
when the witness was to have taken the
stand, and that it was intended to affect
his testimony.
During an interview with Stahlman,
after the proceedings, a GLOBE reporter
was informed that he had made the note
and Endorsed on it's back the name of A.
Stahlman, his stepfather; that the note
was so Endorsed with the understanding of
the latter, who had instructed him to use
his name il connection with all business
matters of the firm. Last night the re-
porter met MIR. A. Stahlman, and in reply
to inquiries he verified the above state
ment.

George and Martha Washington Reception
We are glad to announce that the celebrat-
ed original paintings of General Washing
ton and his wife by the English artist Sharp-
les, executed at Mount Vernon in 1876 have
arrived in st. Paul and may be seen by
members of the legislature, their families
and friends and such OF our citizens as
may desire to do honor to the nations
founder, in the parlor of the Merchants
hotel. These paintings are second to none
IN existence as national treasures and have
been held in England since the time of
their execution, by the Cary family, for
the head Of which, Mr.. Robert Cary. they
we're originally painted. Mr.. Cary was
originally Washington's business agent in
England, and as years passed their reIa-
tions merged into close friendship. With
the pictures, private CORES ondence be-
tween the general and Mr.. Cary extending
over period of thirty years, is exhibited,
the latest letter acknowledges present to
Washington as an appreciative recogni-
ton of the portrait of Lady Washington,
which Martha herself composed, to Mr..
Sharples and which was dispatched from
Mount Vernon as pendent to the full
face and profile pictures of the general
executed by Sharples at Mr. Cary's order.
The arrival of the pictures in st. Paul is
earlier than we had reason to expect them,
the acceleration being in order that the
members Of the Legislature may see the
pictures before they go to their home in
England.
In making this to us gratifying announce
msnt of these grand national portraits
having found their way to this part of the
world, which in Washington's day was an
unknown region, we congratulate our citi
zens IN the opportunity, one never likely
to occur again. No charge is made for
admission. The paintings arrived here, as it
were, to hold for few days a sort Of dig
nifed court, such as was awarded them at
the White house, where president Arthur
received them in state in the drawing
room, such members of his cabinet as we're
IN the capital joining in the reception to-
gether with few selected friends. The
full face portrait of the general is in uni
form, the profile IS in full dress evening cos
tune. Martha's picture is indeed simple,
bat exquisitely charming, and as one Of the
ahlest critics has said of It "a picture OF
rare sweetness and purity, face to admire
and love-
Well indeed may our essayist Emerson
record of these three pictures, Il would will
ngly have crossed the Atlantic ocean if only
to look on these portraits, SO priceless to our
people. They are indeed our true Wash
ington. Future ages will glory in their
existence" These, the original paintings,
are now brought out to America to verify
autotype reproductions, very limited
number of which are to be subscribed. ST..
Paul and Minneapolis will do their duty.

The watch is heavy gold, double cased
timer, with heavy chain-a beauty-with
an inscription on the inside of the case
like that on the speakers cane, except
change of name and Office. Of course
there was more enthusiastic hand clapping,
during which Capt. Collins
was again noticed making his
way toward the clerks desk, arriving at
which and facing Robert Deakin, the first
assistant clerk, he said:
There is another token of remembrance on be-
half of the members, to be left at this desk. The
gentleman who Is to receive it has been here so
long, and filed his position SO admirably, I
hardly know how we could get along without
him. allude, of course, to

before me, Mr.. Robert Deakin. And speaking
| of his qualifications for the place 1 can truth
| fully say never saw his superior, and SO evi-
IDENTIFY think all the members, sentiment they
desire to manifest by asking you, Mr.. Deakin,
| to accept this handsome cane, and may you live
long to enjoy it and to fill the position in which
you have so long been without a competitor.
In accepting the case, a handsome

Deakin said:

| gratitude, and can only say if my services have

courtesy and kindly assistance of the speaker and
| my chief and other assistants. But looking
at the vast accumulation of work before me. 1
am reminded this is no time for talking, and so
once more thanking you, viii resume my Ia
bors.
Then Mr.. Hartly again stepped to the
front and calling for Postmaster Wade,
presented that gentleman with handsome
watch fob, on behalf of
the members, in accepting which
Mr.. Wade said: ''This is one of the mo-
ments when the heart speaks rather than
words, and can simply say I thank you'
This ended the presentations-in many
respects one of the pleasantest incidents

Back From Aud Scotia.

Mr.. Robert Fairweather, Of Euclid,
Polk county, Mimi, just returned from a
business visit to Scotland, was found
weather is one of the leading and most
successful farmers in the Red river valley,
and will have $500 acres in crops this
year, partly at Euclid, and the balance at
Argyle, Marshall county. He has put in
land, stock and farming implements
S150,000. This time Mr.. Fairweather
brings his father with his family out with
him, and they will be followed in the
spring by lots of others, young farmers,
etc. He says there is an unusual
demand for information about the
Northwest generally and especially about
the Red river country. The people in Scot
land generally have no objection to locat-
ing in the states. They even prefer to To-
cate in Minnesota or Dakota. number
of farm hands who have been engaged to
do farm work will come out later in the
spring.
Mr.. Fairweath was a passenger
on the Republic of the White
Star line, and was a spectator of the
rescuing of the officers and crew number
ing fortyfour, of the steamer Glamorgan
which was discovered foundered
on the 10th of February
400 miles west of the Irish
coast. It appears that the Glamorgan was
disabled three days previous in severe
storm, which broke over the ship and dis
mantled her, stove in the deck matches,
and quickly filed the boiler room with
water. In this perilous condition the Off
GERS and crew had spent three days when
found and rescued by the Republic. He
speaks in the highest terms of the bravery,
GOODNESS and discipline of the officers and
crew of the Republic in rescuing their IN
fortunate seafaring comrades.

to any hospital. Finally one was fonnd
who took him to DR.. Murphy's Office. The
reason WAY the hackman refused to take
him was because, as he does not reside in
st. Paul, he cannot be taken into the eitv
hospital, and the consequence is if a back-,
man takes such a person into his hack he
may have to drive him all around town
without finding any way to dispose of him

SENATE.

Though yesterday was the last business
day of the legislature, the senate did not
dispatch the business before it with as
great celebrity as was possible. There was
a good deal of wrangling over questions of
precedence of various measures, the prin-
cipal bone of contention being the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad bill. When the
members finally got down to business a
goodly number of bills were passed, as
will be seen by the record below.
