Good EriHYlI.

This day obtains its name from the bene-
fits, or good things derived from the death Of
Christ; by the Saxons called Long Friday by
the French Holy Friday, and by the Germans
Penance Friday because of the rigors of its
fast. From the earliest stage of christianity
it has been kept as a solemn fast,a day of hu-
initiation and prayer, and was cmnently the
chief fast day of the entire season Of Lent,
and is ever associated with the crucifxion of
the Lord Jesus Christ. On this day the
bridegroom was taken away, and the Dis
ciples tasted and sorrowed until the first day
OF the week Many superstitions, such as
hallowing rings; baking bread mashed with
cross and selling cross buns, have, with a
higher symbolism passed away. In the re
the religious services Of Good Friday the Cos
pei lessons are wholly taken from John, as
he was the only one of the Apostles present
at the last passion of the Savior, and wit
messed his death on the cross. The INSULT
cheney of the Jewish sacrifice is thus proved
as they only typified the more excellent one,
which the son of God upon this day offered
once for ali, thus working full and COM
plete oblation for the sins of the world All
lessons and collects read in churches have
therefore q reference to the great monu-
ments effected by Christ, and to this turns
the deyout thought Of Greek, Catholic, Ar
menian and Protestant.

their liberty nor the father of the privilege of
visiting them whenever he chose. Mayor
O'Brien, by his able plea, couched in the
most sympathetic words at h.s command,
produced on the minds Of all present an i'm
preston favorable to Mrs. Segclbaum, but
not so on the mind of Judge Lochren, who
looked upon the case from a legal stand
point.
The eloquent advocate, looking Max Scgei-
baum in the eye, emphatically declared that
he was not fit to have the custody of a dog,
but Mr.. Wilson held that the defendant had
applied for divorce and failed to get it on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment as
alleged in the complaint. She had left her
home without the knowledge or consent of
her husband and was not driven out. She
took the children and refused to return
them, and denied the custody of
them to the father, although ne has to sup
port them. He maintained they were il
legally restrained of their liberty by defend
ant and H. c. and Adelaide Peterson.
The judge reviewed the case in an impair
tial manner and decided that the rclator or
father was entitled to the possession Of the
children and ordered that they be delivered
to him.
Mayor O'Brien asked for stay of five days
but it was refused,
The proceedings as to the Petersons were
dismissed without cost.
Those who understand all the facts in this
disagreeable family squabble think the wife
could not possibly abide with the husband.
She has the sympathy of the community, and
many think her little daughter should not be
taken away from her. Had the case been
submitted to q jury instead of Judge, Mayor
O'Brien would in all probability have sue
ceeded in winning the case.

ScottY's Lying Revelations.

JAcKsoNs, Mich, April 9.-Ths morning
Thos. Scott, better known as Scotty, well
known thief, in Jail here, made some pre-
tended revelations concerning the Crouch
murder, stating that he had seen at Mime
apolis, certain papers supposed to have been
taken from the house on the night of the
Crouch murder. The statements were made
in the presence of the mayor and nine prom
inent citizens, but he refused to tell in whose
possession the papers were. The prosecut-
ing attorney then offered him $4,000, full
pardon from the government and ticket to
Liverpool, if he would tell the names of the
murderers. This he refused to do. The
committee departed satisfied that Scotty was
lying from beginning to end.

Clark COlttitn.

Andrew Peterson, Swede who has been
living on his claim in Clark county, com
mitted suicide by hanging himself in the
stable at the rear of the Robinson house, in
the town OF Clark. The deceased was about
thirty-one years old and had $137 in cash on
his person. No reason is known for his
committing this act. The day before he sold
off his stock, and had but recently made
final proof on his land. He was formerly
from Fort Dodge, Iowa.
One of the justices in Clark county re-
Gently made this ruling, which, if generally
followed, will be a great saving to the tax
payers: ''The rules that in all future crimi-
nal cases of this kind, no witnesses may
draw fees from the county except those only
who are sworn and testify in the case for
which they are subpenaed, and parties sub
penang witnesses will hereafter subpoena
more witnesses than they need to make their
case at their own peril. This rule will apply
in this court until the same is ordered re-
versed by higher court"

Bismarck.

Tribune: Friday nights snow storm was
worth 500, 900 to Burleigh county There
is at least 10000 acres of land already sown
to wheat in the county, and the light snow
which fell upon it will, as it never has failed
in the past, insure d bountiful crop.
j. c. Whitcomb, the father of the elevated
system of railway in New York, and prom
inent capitalist, recently visited Bismarck
and expressed willingness to invest a
million dollars in the scheme which the
Tribune describes as follows: "With 81, O00,-
600 he could cut a canal through the bluff
northwest of the city and thus conduct large
amount of water from the Missouri, and
after carryingit half mile, pour it back into
the big muddy. BY damming the canal,
which would have high banks on either side,
he could have an ineXhaustible water power,
and here in the midst of the land of No
hard, where golden grain is king, he would
erect mills beside which the Minneapolis
Touring machines would be but pigmies"
As he had neglected to put the money in his
pocket when he started, he asked the citizens
to put it up, but they have not done so, and
the brilliant opportunity will be lost probably.
Bismarck anticipates more prosperous
period this year than ever before. The Ili6-
anee enumerates large number of business
houses and residences in immediate prospect
and says of public works: the system of
waterworks to be established at cost of
800, 200 by Alexander Mckenzie and Mel
Ion Bros, will be the greatest step toward
permanent city Improvements that has ever
been inaugurated by the people of Bismarck.
Work will soon be resumed on the capitol.
and more labor and money will be expended
on the structure this year than was last One
hundred and twenty thousand dollars was
structure now enclosed, but this is consid-
cred small item in comparison with the
amount to be expended in building tae south
wing-a mansion of itself-and erecting the
immense dome which will cleave the heavens
to height OF 1S5 feet large force of men
will be kept busy for several months to pre-
pare the penitentiary for occupancy. Add to
these labor giving enterprises, the work OF
grading the streets, and you will have vague
idea of the amount of money to be thrown
into circulation among the laboring classes
and business men by public improvements
The warehouses at the river landing are to be
enlarged and improved, the railroad com
pany will of necessity increase their store
rooms and depot accommodations at this
point. These are but few of the improve
mcnts which will not draw from the Golfers

employment to hundreds of men and place

ZIER VS.. HOFFLIN.
The jury Aacards Dr.. Tier 81 800 Damages
for Defnllntion of Character.

| The Jasry Aacards Dr.. Tier 81 800 Damages
for Defamation of Character.
During last November there appeared in
this city for the first time an infamous pub
| LEGATION called ''The st. Paul and Mime
apolis Advertizer," supposed to be published
| in the interest and under the auspices of the
two cities 1t was established for the sole
purpose Of exposing to obloquy and scorn
the names of delinquent debtors and thus
compelling them through the notoriety given
them in this way to pay up their bills. For
time it was not known who the literary
scavenger was that conducted and published
| the disreputable sheet, but GLOBE repre-
sentative at last succeeded in ferreting him
out and found him to be an uncultured old
fossil named H. P. Smith, whose
appearance was enough to convince the most
skeptical that he would condescend to per-
form any dirty work il there was money in it.
The interview held with Smith at the time
was given in the GLOBE, and the reptilian
creature felt so dissatisfied at finding his ad
dress made known to the public that the en-
| terprising reporter soon received a letter
written or caused to be written by Smith, and
was absolutely beneath the contempt Of de-
cent man to notice. In the first number of
the Adaatiser under the g Want :" column
was the following: Wanted, E. B. Zier VI.
D., to pay drug bill.'' The same was in
serted at the instance OF Joseph r. Hoffitn, the
druggist at the corner Of Washington and
First avenue south. The slip
containing the Objectionable matter
was pasted on postal card and
mailed by Hoffiin in care of her father to an
estimable young lady in the city to whom DR..
Zer is engaged.
DR.. Zier Immediately commenced suit for
damages in the sum of $4,000 against Mr..
Hotfin, and complained that the object Of
the publication on the part of Hoffiin was to
injure him in his character, standing and
prospects in life, and to convey the impress
sion that lie was an Ascending debtor, dis
honest and not entitled to the confidence and
respect of the community. The case had
dragged along in the district court until yes
terday when a jury of twelve honest men
gave verdict against Hoftiin for the plain
tiff in the sum of 81 500.
1t was proven at the trial that at the time
CT the libelous publication DR.. Zier did not
owe Mr.. Hofiiin cent, the latter's books be-
ing produced in evidence. Many reputable
| citizens have been anxiously awaiting the
result of this trial, more especially those whose
names have been given from time to
time in the Matchmaking hdoertiSer.
Now that Dr. Tiers character has been
vindicated, and that the verdict of the
jury has stamped the AdVert$er as Il libelous
sheet, the fellow who has degraded journal
ism by issuing it should be arrested and pun
ished according to his deserts. An order of
the court should be obtained to suspend the
publication, ''whose Methods" to quote the
words of a contemporary ''are too
temptible to be tolerated in respectable
community -

The Last Chapter of the !Segelboun, Quarrel
Finished IN Court Yesterday.
In response to the order of the district
court issued upon the application of Max
Segelbaum for writ of habeas corpus. Mrs.
Segelbaum and her two children, Albert and
Irene, aged eight and five years respectively.
appeared in the court yesterday afternoon,
and were represented by Mayor O'Brien, of
st. Paul, the plaintiff having for his counsel
the Hon. E. NJ Wilson Of this city.
Mr.. O'Brien contended that his client was
entitled to the custody of her offspring; that
the reply to the petition admits the father had
failed to supper them; that she was driven
from her home by reason of her husbands
cruelty; that he had failed to provide for
them or her, that the children required the
care of their mother, and that he was unfit to
have charge of them. The eloquent attor-
ney then very pathetically referred to the in
iured lady, and said she had not forfeited
in one iota the respect of the
community or her right to the
control Of her children, of whose wants of
education the father was entirely ignorant.
No improperly was alleged against the
mother: tae children were not restrained OF
