On Thursday afternoon one Of our police
discovered a couple of strangers disposing Of
two overcoats at a second hand store for the
respective prices of fifty cents and one dol
lar. Learning that one Of the vendors of the
Bcnjamins was st. Peter chap the tele-
phone was brought into requsition, and it
was learned that coat had been stolen be-
longing to a boarder at the Nicollet hotel, who
requested, that the coat, if found to answer
the description which he furnished should be
returned to him, and that he would pay all
legitimate expenses, but to make no arrests,
Us the young man who stole it was Of re-
spectacle parents, and he did not wish to be
The means of bringing disgrace upon them.
The coat answering the description given
was on yesterday returned to st. Peter by
express and the charges duly RENTED.
1t is Just such mistaken leniency which in
the end fills our jails and prisons. When a
young man arrives at the mature age of
twenty-one and deliberately DEGREES to be-
come a thief, it is a case of misguided benev-
olence which refuses to make his crime pub
lie and forbears to mete out to him the pun
ishment he deserves. Our police were anx-
ious to arrest the thief, and were much dis
satisfied at not receiving the necessary au-
thority. They do not desire to become a
party to such business, and the young man
in question must not attempt any of his
work here or he will get run in on sight.
Who his partner is has not as yet transpired,
or where he halls from, but if they return to
Mankato they will find 1t hot box.
There are several young men who frequent
this portion of the state who, like the lilies,
''toil not, neither Go they spin" and yet no
honest, industrious young man who works
for living is arrayed like one of them. The
time will come when the source from whence
they derive their sustenance will be ventila-
ted and misfortune will oyertake them.

SALTWATER.

The steamer Ten Brock goes out with a
raft this morning, bound for New Boston
Bay.
The G. B. Knapp, with two barges in tow,
arrived from st. Paul yesterday morning, en-
route for Marine Mills
AS evidence of the activity of the log
ging trade, it may be stated that thirteen
steamboats, were in sight at one time yester-
day morning, either engaged in making up
RATS, or just arrived from trip down the
river.
Yesterday forenoon an outlandish din pro-
duced by hammers and other tools of iron,
was head emanating from the platform of the
Milwaukee depot. Inquiry elected the fact
that the men with the hammers were putting
the finishing strokes to forty foot smoke
stack which Sawyer had constructed for the
city water works.
1t was reported yesterday that the Still
water Touring mills were about to change
owners. Isaac Staples is understood to have
offered a certain sum for the property as ii
now stands.
The building on the west side of Main
streat in which the Office of the Saltwater
mills was formerly located has been rented
for fruit and confectionery store.
The firm Of Wells, Harrison & Green.
have the contract of grading the Wisconsin
Central road from Chippewa Falls to st.
Paul. After leaving the river the line runs
about four miles north of the city, passing
close to the county house and south of White
| Bear lake. The st. Croix river will be span
ned by an iron truss bridge, and so con.
structed as to enable steamboats, to pass IN
der at any stage of water.
| A victim of misplaced confidence visited
the city yesterday for the purpose of learning
if the law would afford him any relief in his
present rather awkward predicament-a man
of sixty years of age, who claimed to have
| been possessed Of valuable farm, which
under one pretense and another he was in
duced to sign over to his wife. In short
time after the good woman had the property
fixed to her liking, she notified the old chap
that his company was no longer desired, and
finally succeeded in driving him out of the
house and off the premises. Now the old
gentleman being houseless and homeless,
would like to undo his late foolish transac-
ton, OF which it is claimed there is not much
probability.
A frame building, 20x60, two stories high,
is in course Of construction on North Main

by Theophilus Jerkoe, who intends to put in
a stock OF groceries as soon as the building is
in readiness.

PLEURO PNEU MONA.
The Disease, it is Asserted, Has Bro
ken out in Washington
Comfy. Pa.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 25.-In Washington
county veterinary surgeons have been exam
lining disease similar to pleuro pneumonia.
The disease first developed itself about two
months ago on the farm of Robt. c. Vance,
and proved puzzle to number of physi-
clans called in consultation of the several
cases. Washington County Stock Breeders
association took the matter in hand few
days ago, and after thorough Investigation
called in first class veterinary surgeon,
who made a thorough examination. One of
the young COWS afflicted was selected for
dissection, and it was found that the struc-
tural changes in the lungs were
similar to those in pleuro-pneumonia, suffi-
Gent to prove its contagious character. The
body of the COW selected was not altogether a
fair subject as she had been picked out of
the herd on account of the owners valuing
her at less figure than others. The diagon-
isis proved beyond a doubt, however, symp-
toms of pleuro-pneumonia, and as the bal
ance of the herd are tainted in the same
manner, 1t was recommended by DR.. Shat,
that the entire district be quarantined until
a thorough official examination is made.
Gov Pattison was telegraphed the facts, and
it is probable an order will be issued actin g
on the DOCTORS suggestion.

proprietor Of the Union house, who has re-
Gently taken possession and who has not as
ettaken out liquor license, Peter Rnbcke,
his bartender, concluded to anticipate bust
ness little and open up just for luck little
while. He was promptly arrested on the charge
of selling liquor without license and will
plead guilty to the charge on tomorrow
morning. A charge is still hanging over his
head for selling on Sunday. 1t is but JUS
tice to the new proprietor to say that the
selling was contrary to his positive instru"-
tions and without his knowledge.

Congressman Barr, of Pennsylvania, COM
menting on the result of the New York con-

to-day "Warner Miller has at last found
himself beaten at every point. He is one of
those fellows who are opposed to political
bosses, unless they are the bosses them selves.
Miller has not ability enough to be first
class boss, and his efforts in that direction
have been failures. In my judgment Ed

There is one thing mentioned as being
against him, which is just the reason
why support him. Some OF the cheap poll
ticians say tibet If he is elected they can get
nothing out of him. Now, believe can

DAMAGE BY THE FROST.

The Effect of the Cold Snap on the Truck
Fatms-The Cabbage Fields Almost
Totally Destroyed, But Being Re
planted.
The vegetables and products of the
truck farms surrounding the city were al
most totally destroyed by frost during
the cold snap last week. The market
gardeners report that in but few instances
were any of the crops saved. The cab
bage crop suffered the most seriously, but
by replanting, it is believed that the sec
ond crop will be good, unless ruined by
another frost.
At Isle of Hope, Maj. c. 5. Hardee lost
$4,000 cabbage plants, about three acres of
beets and a large plant of green peas.
The frost there was hard and destroyed
nearly everything.
At Montgomery, Maj. A. L. Hartridge
lost about 1000 cabbage plants, three acres
of oats and all the peas he had planted.
There were five nights of hard frost in that
locality, and great deal of damage was
done, nearly all the small gardens being
destroyed.
At Bethesda, Mr.. A. V. Chaplin, the
superintendent, reports that he lost all
his plants. He had $1,000 cabbage plants.
a quarter OF an acre Of beets, also a large
bed Of onions. He will replant at once
and expects to make good crop by high
manuriUg. His turnip crop this season
was the finest he ever saw in spite of the
long dry weather. In the neighbOrhOod
about Bethesda all the plants are de-
strOyed, except cabbages planted in low
warm ground. In such places the plants
show signs of reviving.
The heaviest loss of cabbage plants re-
ported from any one farm was at Mr.. John
Schley's place, on the Augusta road. Mr..
SchIey lost over 100000 plants, his entire
crop being destroyed. He has, however,
about the same number under glass in
lighthouses and will replant at once, and,
with care, he expects to make good crop.
Other gardeners out of the city report
corresponding losses. but are replanting,
and a fair crop is anticipated.
