The Monday matinee at the police court
was largely attended, and the performance
opened with laughable farce, the stars being
Sis Peoples and another colored lady named
Mary Morgan. The latter had Sis arrested
on the charge of disorderly, and when she
took the stand the crowd Uttered. "When 1
called at the house, your honor" she testified,
'Sis Peoples came in and lowed that she was
the lady of that house, and that she would
throw me out and break my black neck;
then she hauled off and let me have ~
Both women are good looking, young and
sprightly, and when Sis took the stand her
bright eyes fairly sparkled with merriment.
''All there is about it,'' she said, ''is that I
pay rent for the house, and this woman came
there to make fuss; she was going to take
off her coat when 1 told her I didn't want
her there, and then put her out" The
court said Sis would have to give 500 bonds
to keep the peace.
The case of the four brothers, Fred, Gotleib
Adam and William Hog, charged with fight
| ing in a street car, would have been inter-
esting had they talked English. 1t appeared
that they had been drinking some, and that
on their way home they got into the wrong
car. Then they wanted their money back,
and this led to the row. The court said that
owing to their ignorance he would only fine
them $25. Afterward $40 was RENTED all
around, and they paid the scrip.
| Pat Burns and VIM. Ernine were ar
! raigned on the charge of stealing cloak and
hat from a residence on Rosabel street. The
hearing was continued until to-day and they
| were held in the sum of 5000 each.

VIM. Carlson, the booty crank who tried
to obtain entrance to No. $50 East Seventh

when he was fired out, was sent up for
twenty days.
John Miller, for reckless driving, was fined
$50, and the boy Jaclinsky, who broke into
carpenter shop, was discharged. He re-
Gently escaped from the reform school and
he may be taken back again.
Geo. Wardly and j. Doe, charged with dis

the larceny of $3.50 from VIM. Kemp,a green.

Interesting Extracts from a forth-com-

By Major T. NJ. Newson.

We have been permitted to publish the
following article about Sitting Bull, from the
forthcoming new work of Maj. T. M. New
son, entitled, ''He-le-o-pa," Indian Legends,
Characters and Peculiarieties. The article is
especially interesting at this time, as the sub
ject of his comments is now in the city. II
will be seen that while Maj. Newson
accords to Sitting Bull many crimes and
barbarities, yet he places him among the abb
lest of Indian warriors of modern times.

THE FIRE LIMITS

Mr. William Lee called attention to the
fact that the wooden warehouse constructed
by Messrs. Griggs & Foster on lower Third
street some time ago was burned down two
weeks ago, and that they had asked the coun-
Gil for power to reconstruct the same; that
the council had given them the
authority but that the mayor
had vetoed the ordinance. He
then presented the following memorial to
the council and asked that it be adopted:
To the Honorable Common Council of the
City of St. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: The undersigned wholesale
merchants Of the city, respectfully request
that your honorable body will sustain the veto
of the mayor with regard to your action at a
former meeting in permitting the re-erection
of frame building on the corner of Broad
way and Third street, within the fire linn
its.
The permission given by your honorable
body for the erection of such buildings with
in the fire limits in the past, contrary to the
ordinance, has already increased rates of in
surance, causing your petitioners additional
expense, and we have reason to believe that
a continuance of this course on the part of
your honorable body will make the rates still
heavier.
We are carrying large stocks of goods, up
on which the insurance now paid is larger
than in other cities of this size, and we trust
that your honorable body will not willingly
impose increased burdens upon the general
public for the sake of furthering private in
terests.
For favorable action on this request your
petitioners will ever pray.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug 5.-The opposition to the
selection of '.Seven-mules7 Barnum as chairman
of the Democratic national committee before he
was chosen has increased since the recent meet
ing of the committee The Democrats and quasi
Republicans are outspoken and blunt in their
denunciation of the folly of selecting man to
lead the work of the campaign whose record as
politician is so unsavory. It is announced
now, however, that the real work of the cam
paign will fall upon Senator German, of Mary
land, who has been elected chairman of the
executive committee, and that Senator German,
after consultation with the party leaders, has
decided to throw the brunt of the work into
West Virginia. This is regarded as significant
symptom Of the weakness of the Democracy
where they have claimed to be exceptionally
strong Senator Kenna, after reading interviews
with West Virginia Republicans, in which they
claimed the State as reasonably sure for Blaine
and Logan, recently said that all such
statements were absurd, and that
Cleveland's majority in the State would
exceed twenty thousand. Other 'sprominent
Democrats were equally confident of carrying
the State and lost no opportunity to air their
views in the Democratic press. In spite of all
this alleged confidence among Democratic party
leaders there is an evident disposition among
them to disbeleve their own words At least no
opportunity will be given the Republicans to
carry the State by default, and it is the purpose
of the party leaders to fight hard to keep West
Virginia in the Democratic ranks Senator Cor

among the most sanguine Democrats the pros
poets for saving the State are not considered

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
Judge Hays Holds that Justices Have No
Jurisdiction Under the Law.

MUseATINE, Ia, Aug. 5.-Judge Hayes, of the
Seventh Iowa judicial district, has rendered an
important decision as to the jurisdiction of JUS
tices OF the peace under the new Iowa prohibitory
liquor law. Judge Hayes holds that justices
have no jurisdiction to try, determine, or pass
Judgment upon cases under this law, other than
to hold preliminary trials and bind defendants
over to the District Court The decision is based
upon the opinion that the penalties of the new
law exceed the jurisdiction of justices. By this
decision all liquor cases commenced here under
the new law are dismissed. The question is one
Of great Importance, and will be appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The petitioner Pfeiffer, by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings sought to be released from restraint by
the defendent as sheriff of Muscatne county.
Both parties fully agreed on the facts, which
are that the petitioner was convicted. before a
justice OF the peace, of selling intoxicating
liquor. For the first offense he was sentenced to
pay tine of $40 and costs, and committed
until the costs were paid. Judge Hays
says that the only point made relates to the ju-
rsdiction of the justices in such cases This
Question is determined by the penalty provided.
The law in question provides that, for the
offense, the defendant shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and ON conviction shall pay fine
of not more than $l00 and costs, and stand COM
m1tted to the county jail until the fine and costs
are paid, and shall not be entitled to the
benefit of the provisions made for pauper
conyicts until he shall have been i'm
prisoned sixty days. The Constitution
of Iowa says all offenses less than felony, and
in which the punishment does not exceed fine
Of 500 or Imprisonment for thirty days. shall be
tried summarily before justices of the peace, and
no person shall be held for higher offense un-
less through the Intervention of grand jury.
The general rule in cases other than for selling
intoxicating liquors is that no commitment fol
lows at all for non-payment of costs.
According to the terms of the penalty for
selling intoxicating liquors. defendant who
could not pay costs, even if only farthing,
would have tolanguish in jail perpetually, except
as he might be released under the provisions
made for benefit of poor conyicts and even then
he must stay in jail sixty days, when, iE all
other cases. the law, in the plentitude of its
mercy, only provides for thirty days imprison
mert 1t would seem that this
would or might be punishment, although
counsel for the State argued otherwise. The
Supreme Court has said costs are part of the
penalty, but not of the fine, which, Judge Hays
says, is conclusive of the point under considera-
ton. The Judge lays stress on the word pun
ishment," that being the one used in the consti-
tutional inhibition and says that it must be con-
ceded that the punishment provided does or
may exceed the above quoted constitutional lin
itation.

THE DAYTON SOLDIERS HOME.
Testimony Elected Yesterday by the Con
gressional Investigating Committee.

DAYTON, O., Aug 5.-The Soldiers Home
congressional investigating committee convened
at 9 o'clock this morning and continued the ex-
animation of witnesses. The testimony revealed
many dives of infamy into which soldiers are
inveigled, robbed, and sometimes murdered
Many resorts out Of the corporate limits Of Day
ton seem to be out of the jurisdiction of law
Even those within the city are not molested by
the authorities, and compare with any Of the
most depraved in the large cities. Many soldiers
come to Dayton, become drunk and disorderly,
are arrested removed to the Home, and there
punished Ex.representative Mcmahon said the
universal complaint from the soldiers pointed
to harsh treatment under the rules and articles
of war; the men were treated as if in garrison
and should be treated as if in a home. Politics
had caused change of management and all
changes in the rules and discipline were charged
by the soldiers direct to representatives in Con
gress. L. b. Gunckle, former resident manager,
said the soldiers complained universally of the
strict discipline and unjust punishment. They
wanted some one to complain to,
but dare not lay a grievance
before General Patrick. the governor of the
Home. This could be obviated by having resi-
dent manager but Colonel Harris, the present
resident manager. lived in Cincinnati, and the
soldiers could see him but once a year. 1t is be-
lieved the Home should be more hospital than
garrison. The soldiers had done their work,
and this should be their reward; disorder out
side could be dealt with as other disordery citi-
ZenS are.

FOR GoRDoN,s RESCUE.

The British Commons Votes Money to De-

LONDON, Aug. 5-Mr. Gladstone, in moving
credit of f3OO 900 to provide for the expedition
to the Soudan, said the purpose of the expedi-
ton was merely to relieve General Gordon, and
not to crush the Mahdi This sum would be
sufficient to secure good government in the Sou
dan, and the evacuation of that country was now
out of the question. England was bound to pro-
tect General Gordon. Mr.. Gladstone intimated
that he was asking the members to vote on the
principle involved rather than on the exact
amount which he anticipated the expedition
would cost The intention was to obtain au-
thority to redeem pledges which he had already
made. He said it was undesirable to enter into
details at present.
Labouchere, Radical, objected. The vote now
asked for he believed, was mere sop. Next
year the House would be asked to vote E3. 900,
600 to carry on the work.
