A SINGULAR CASE.
Delos Aver Arrested on Suspicion of
Arson and Afterwards
Released.

Yesterday afternoon Detective Kenally
took into custody Delos L. Aver proprietor
of the photograph rooms at No. 431 jackson
street, on the charge of arson. 1t will be
remembered that when the fire department
reached his place Monday night, a quantity
OF cotton and rags were found, saturated
with kerosene oil, in close proximity to
which were couple of partially burned
candles, the whole outfit showing
cunningly concocted and deliberate
scheme TO burn down the place
Fortunately the fire was extinguished before
it had spread to any great extent ana the
little scheme didn't work. 1t was ascer-
tanned that Aver had an insurance of $500
on the stock, placed by John Rogers, Jr., in
the st. Louis Fire and Marine Insurance
company.
consultation was held by Chief Clark
and County Attorney Egan yesterday and on
Recommendation of Mr. Rogers Ayers was
pu. under arrest. He came down to his
rooms at O'Clock yesterday morning and
arrested shortly afterwards at the corner of
Third and Cedar streets. He was in COM
pany with his little boy and the latter cried
pitcously. Aver is a man about thirty-fve
year o! age, with a sallow sckly expression
and he has the appearance of being i'll. On
being questioned he denied knowing any
thing OF the aft dir, stating that it must have
been put up job by some one who was
trying to down him. He was kept in the
chiefs office the greater part of the day and
was closely questioned by Mr. Egan and
Chief Clark, and twas finally decided that
no case had been made out when he was re-

Territorial Politics,

G. B. Valiandighan, one Of the Democratic
candidates for the legislature, proposes to in
vest his salary and mileage in a Democratic
paper at Valley City. He believes there is a
better time coming politically.
1t is expected that Col. Plummer will be
one Of the independent or combin alton can
didates for the legislature in opposition to
the regular Republican nominees, If he re-
turns from the east in season He will date
from LaMoure where he has had a country
seat or claim.
Judge Clifford, can didate for congress, will
commence his speaking tour in the north at
Fargo, October 81, and will visit the chief
points.
Some efforts are being made to get up a
full legislative ticket in opposition to the Re
publican one for the Fargo district. The OPP
position is specially to the Cass nominees.
They will be easily beaten in Cass, hut there
are FIVE other counties in the district that are
likely 70 vote for them simply because they
are on the ticket.
In an interview in the Argus Delegate
RAYMOND fails 70 state whether he will support
Judge Clifford for con gress, aud avoids all ques-
tons upon which there is curiosity to know
bis opinions or purposes. He states that he
will spend much Of the winter In Wsshing ton,
which Is not surprising, inasmucb as his
term ia congress will not expire till next
March.

The Explosion Still a Mystery.

QUEBEC, Oct. 14.-Four men suspected of
causing the explosion at the pariment build
ings Saturday, ranged in age from forty to
twenty-one years. They all occupied the
same room, 10 which were two doutle beds.
Madame Nolin, the landIady, not under
standing English could not make anything
out of their conversation. Two of the men
seemed to have all the linen they had with
them on their person. They we're in the
habit of paying for each meal as they par
took of it, and also of paying for their beds
each morning. Thursday last the youngest
of the party left, taking with him heavy
vaise and did not afterwards return. All
seemed 10 be well supplied with American
money, which it seems they had some diff
ficulty in getting exchanged for Canadian
money TO pay for their board Saturday after
noon. The guardian of the Quebec central
depot at Lewis, stated they had on Friday
heard the men speaking in reference to tae
intended explosion, in front of the station,
and that he at once communicated what he
had heard, to the police Of Quebec and Lewis.

ST. PAUL NEWS.
THE DECEIVER DECEIVED.
Cook, the Minneapolis Masher, Sent Up
for Thirty Days.
The Quartette who Quarreled About a Keg of
Beer were Tapped SO Each.

Be not deceived, my pretty one, for the
WAYS of tie masher are hard, and this fact
YOU can speculate on. The masher is bent
on mischief and when he meanders out to
mash look out tor him, for he is generally
bold, bad man. Sometimes even masher
gets left; he is different from the dude; the
latter is generally nice, clean fellow, and
he is only stuck on himself; this makes him
harmless, and when he goeth down the
paved highway with sort Of SCENE
and-die kind of smile you feel
like thanking him for permitting you
to exist in his pcrlumed presence. But to
return to the masher. One of the germs
was in the police court yesterday; he was
Minneapolis masher and he came down to
practice his out on Monday night; he tackled
a couple of ladies on Seventh street and
called them la-as and invited them to walk
around the block with him. About this tune
a fly bob came along and the futtering dears
sought his protection from the naughty man.
The latter was arrested and gave the name
of Cook. His goose was cooked for thirty
days.
"When did you get out, Mark?' queried
the court of Mark Sdell, the sawed
off and hammered down specimen who
gravitatcs between the workhouse and the
police court constantly.
''Y, sterday morning." he replied.
Drunk before night, were you!" rejoined
hizzoner.
Il guess 500 he answered when the usual
thirty days sentence was imposed.
There was dance at the grub foundry,
corner Of Seventh and Franklin streets,
Monday night, and as one Of the witnesses
remarked, they had a real sociable time.
Judging from the speckled and variegated
mugs oi the contestants they must have had
a jo.ly time all around. John Rusner had been
to the party, and by the looks of his face he
must have been given the Crane rush. His
native beauty was spoiled by sundry scratches
ana wounds, his eyes were a beautiful ceru-
lean. ana the dry gore on his nose betokened
rafting conflict.
Tnc other contestants were F. G. McArdle,
A. Snyder and 4. FRANKIE. They quarelled
over key OF beer, the dispute being as to
whether or not fresh Keg should be tapped.
Snyder was discharged, and the others were
fined ten bills each.
Peter Schcll put head on Nels Larson, a
hotel runner, because he pedded his cards
in the union depot, and it cost him SIS
fine.
John Reilly, the bullet headed dufTer who
stole kit of tobacco from Allen Noon 81
Co., and then tried to whip the officer, was
sent out for thirty days, and poor old Mrs
Greasy got similar stretch for having been
drunk again.

MIGHTY INTERESTING READING.
A Catholic Answer to Jim BIaine's
Appeal,

From the Catholic Citizen, Oct. ILL.,
''Bldine's 1ppedl to the Bishops and
Priests"
A circular has been issued from the Re-
publican headquarters to all the Bishops and
Priests of the United States, asking their
careful consideration of certain allegations
against Cleveland in connection with the
Liberty of Worship bill. This being Blain S
first call upon the Priests since he gave up
the profession and practice of religion. we
are disposed to give him a hearing. We do
not like to repel his tardy advances, as we
want him to come again and often.
Mr.. Blaine says, Grover Cleveland was
responsible for the defeat of the measure
that would have secured liberty of worsbip to
all Catholic inmates of prisons in the state of
New York. If Baine's charge be true, it was
a grevious fault. Does the gentleman wish
us to infer that such conduct not only make
him guilty absolutely but guilty in compare
son with himself. Would Mr.. Blaine have
acted differently Does he take it for granted
that the Catholic clergy OF this country are
ignoaant of the Madigau letters and their au-
thorsl Then he appealed to the Professionals.
Now he appeals TO Catholics against the
Protestants to win the Catholics
Does Mr.. Blaine suppose that the priests
and bishops OF the United States prefer
political hypocrite and trimmer to an honest
enemyl Mr.. Cleveland and all those who
were best capable of forming a correct iudg-
meut, say that the liberty of worship bill
failed to pass simply because the Republicans
Intentionally delayed reporting it until 1t
to late to pass it. Even Mr.. Clevelandis
most pronounced enemy accuses him only
of disposition to veto the bill had it been
presented for his signature. The charge
against the Democratic governor of New
York is the allegation of a mind reader, and
an amateur mind reader at that.
We are more disposed 10 take the word of
a man who has nevcryet been caught in
lie, than nGtof man ichoSe rhoie lfs, pa bic
aud prieats, has been a .falsehood. We will 90
father and say, If Mr.. Blaine can show
one act OF his public life that was
straightforward and manly or unselfsh. we
shall give him the benefit of doubt and say
he would have done better in Clevelandis
places. In his circular to the Catholic clergy
he poses as a saint; in his answer to the In
dianapolis SsssiiIsi he posed as a baby or
BOBBY; In his speeches IN congress in sn-
swer to the Mulhgan letters he posed as q
victim; in his late tour be posed as typical
American, that is not baby, BOBBY, saint or
victim. Blaine Is q many-sided rogul,
kaleidoscope of hypocrisy, the chameleon of
tricks, and the giutton OF politics.

blow in the face, cutting him, and on Mr..
Cheney's asking him to desist he received a
still greater punishment. When respectable
people such as these are molested by a
drunken rowdy on the street it is time that
the police were assisted in maintaing the
good name of the city. Sinclair was yester-
day morning fined S21.12, or twenty days in
the lock up, for the assault on Beardsley,
and it is hoped that Mr. Cheney win appear
and prosecute, as it is mistaken plea that
one does not like to be prosecutor. The
welfare of the city requires it, and we trust
that the full penalty of the law will be melted
out to him. What does Sinclair care for the
fines when he has plenty of friends who will
pay th.ms The law must be made terror
to evil doers, and imprisonment, without
fines, given them.

THE RAILROADS.
The Baltimore &c Ohio Trouble sciHt tn
Pennsylvania Road.

The Baltimore &c Ohio Trouble scIH the
Pennsylvania Road.
A New York dispatch of the 18th says:
The latest phase of the Baltimore 81 Ohio
Pennsylvania railroad war is the refusal of
the former to sell any tickets in this city at
its offices to Baltimore, notwithstanding the
fact that the Baltimore & Ohio's train service
continues over the Pennsylvania line. BY
way of attacking its competitor on the TANKS,
the Baltimore & Ohio opens all its New York
offices for the sale of tickets on the West
Shore 81 Buffalo railway to points west. The
rates are completely dcmOralized, and the
scalpers are reaping harvest by selling re-
duced rate tickets to Cincinnati low as S12,
Chicago Sl4 and SIG, st. Louis SIG and SIS,
Buffalo and Niagara Falls So. Passengers
from this city to Kansas City can save SIS
over regular rates. enthusiastic
Pending the decision of Judge McKcnna
at Philadelphia, the Baltimore g. Ohio man
ayers will remain passive so far as any bust
ness between New York and Baltimore is
concerned. All applicants for passage to
Baltimore are informed that the Pennsylva-
MA is the only line carrying passengers be-
tween the two cities. reduction of fare
was expected between this city and
Chicago via the Niagara Falls short
line to-day, but none was promulgated. the
decision OF the United States court is ex-
pected to be adverse to Baltimore d Ohio, in
which event the Pennsylvania will cut off the
Baltimore d Ohio train service summarily.
A Philadelphia dispatch of the 18th SAYS:
The regular Baltimore & Ohio trains between
New York and Baltimore over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad ran as usual yesterday,
although the new schedule had gone into eff
feet and the revised time tables made no
provision for Baltimore q Ohio trains The
impression prevailed that they had been dis
continued, and the cars were hauled almost
empty.

Paul, Minneapolis IL Manitoba Railway
company, appellant.
Syllahus-In an action to recover damages
Tor injuries from a collision at a railway
crossing with the wagon in which plaintiff
was riding, her evidence tended to show that
the team was driven with care aud that
plaintiff and the driver were watching the
road and looking and listening for indi-
cations OF danger as they approached the
crossing; that they heard no signal and had
no warning OF the approach of an engine
from the west, but were unexpectedly over
taken by switch engine from that direction
running backward down grade at high
rate of speed with steam shut on and with
out signals of its approach, which they did
not discover till too late to avoid collision,
They were going east, the railroad being on
their left aud approaching the street al
sharp angle, and above there was q cut which
partially obscured the vision, terminating
about 600 feet from the crossing. The
evidence also shows that they had ureviouslv
looked several times up the road in that di-
rection, the last time when at a point from
fifty to seventy feet from the crossing. and
in the interval of about ten seconds they
were listening for signals or indications of n
coming train, their attention being also ar
rested by the presence of another switch en-
CINE standing below the crossing apparently
ready TO move. Held, That whether the
plaintiff was in the exercise of that
degree of care which persons Of
ordinary prudence and intelligence would
exercise in similar situation depends upon

Serious accident.

Mr.. j. J. Mitchell, the well known direc-
tor of the Chicago & Alton and president of
the st. Louis 81 Kansas City line, was thrown
from his buggy on his farm on the American
bottom near st. Louis, Saturday, receiving
serious If not mortal injuries. Upon examin-
alton 1t was found that his collar bone bad
been broken, but it was not believed that he
had received other serious injuries, and
hopes were therefore entertained that he
would speedily recover. He has, however,
been steadily growing worse, and dispatches
were received Monday at the Alton office
stating that he was in very low condition
and fears are entertained that he cannot re-
cover. 1t is believed now that he has re-
ceived serious internal injuries. Mr.. Mitchell
is about seyenty-three years of age, but was
yet very hearty man, and but for this acct
dent might have lived many years longer.
