and its advantages for blockade runners,
the site and the outlying defenses being
illustrated with charts and maps, also the
defense of the city both by channel and
by land. He described the naval operations
in the bay in the summer of 1864, and
characterized the engagement on Aug. 5 as
one which for stern, hard fighting
and loftiness and tenacity of purpose on
both sides was not eXcelled during the war.
He then spoke of the various steps leading
to Mobile, of the arrival of Union troops
at Dauphin Island, of their trip to Fish
bay. where they disembarked, of the march
to Spanish fort. Here there We're rebel

time was spent in making an opposing sys-

ment that during the siege here, Gov. Hub
bard's brigade made the nearest approach
to the rebel lines of any Of the Union troops,
taking point not more than so feet out
from the rebel breast works. The opera
tons at Blakely were spoken of and the
final approach on Mobile. The
city had been preparing for more
than year. and some of the hardest fight
ing had been done before it was possible to
get within distance. the larger part being
across the bay from the city.
The events were all described in easy
style, and made more vivid by the maps.

After the paper the members enjoyed an

AMUSE MENTS.
Keene's Engagement at the Grand -
Special Scenery and Costumes.

Special scenery and Costumes.
Those whose intellectual and emotional
natures find toothsome food in Shakes
pearian drama cannot afford to miss the feast
now being spread for them at the Grand
opera house by Mr.. Keene. We are accus-
toned to his representations of these i'm
mortal parts, and they are everywhere re-
garded as good as the best. But we are not
accustomed to see any star surrounded by
such capable company of actors or aided
in his efforts at realistic representations of
the masterpieces by such wealth of seem
cry: and it is these two latter circumstances
that give the present season e-eminence
in the history of the drama of the North
west. Mr.. Keene undoubtedly gives the
best representations of Shakespeare now Oh
the American stage. Critics may differ as
to the relative merits of Keene and Barrett
as actors but there can be no opposition to
the statement that, everything considered,
Mr.. keene rises far above all rivals. 1t
makes considerable difference whether we
see Hamlet reproaeh his mother in a nine
teenth-century drawing room or an
apartment decorated ana furnished
after the old Danish fashion. or whether
the coronation hall in Richard LII, looks
like hotel dning-room rather than a hall
in the old tower. This scenery carried by
Mr.. Keene. beautifully painted and with
great pains for its historical accuracy, is an
amazing help to the Imagination. 1t does
not detract from the excellence of the star,
but on the contrary enables the beholder. if
he be at all imaginative to seem for few
hours TO live among and almost take part in
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-12-03

he stirring events so wildly portrayed.
This is helped still further by the company,
a collection of good actors, whose names
are familiar, Gustavus Levick, Mark Price,
Misses Vaders and Allen and others.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Keene repeated
Hamlet from the previous night, and
last evening 1.-THE Merchant of Venice,
himself taking the part Of the crafty old
Jew in manner impossible to excel. To-
night he will give Macbeth" and the
scenery In this is said to be superior to any
we have seen thus far. ''Othello" to-mor-
row night.
Judging. from newspaper criticisms Hav-
erly's MINISTRIES, which will be with us
next week. will eclipse anything recently
seen in minstrelsy in the Northwest. All
the cities in which this company has ap-
peared since it's return from England are
enthusiastic in their praise of this company.
Special care has been taken by Mr.. Haverly
in arranging the program to depart as much
as possible from the rut into which min
strelsy seems to have fallen. The big card
of the entertainment is the Cragg family,
who stand eminent in their line. Their
performances with this company last sea-
son here will be remembered with great
pleasure. The concluding number Of the
program is burlesque on 1.-The Mikado,'
which is described as very funny.

THE TAx-TlTLE DECISION
To be Taken to the United States SUI
T. sr-.r,,fs- preIme Court.

The Channcey-W ass tax-title case about
which so much has been said and written,
is likely to go to the United States supreme
court. Yesterday the proper papers were
filed in the supreme court of this state for
the purpose Of obtaining a rehearing before
our supreme court. 1t is very doubtful,
however, whether the state court will go
over the case again, as it is not understood
that anything new can be presented, and as
it was recently fully argued and decided.
This, however, will have no effect one way
or the other in regard to its going to the
United States court, as it could be taken
there as well without rehearing as with
one, after an adverse decision. The object
of rehearing is to obtain reversal Of opin-
ion on the part of the court. This is
not very probable. Mr.. Charles Chauncey
is the appellant in the taX-title suits, and
resides in Philadelphia. Soon after being
Informed of the decision of our supreme
court he communicated with Mr.. j. d.
Howe. the attorney of the Chicago, st.
Paul & Omaha road, in regard to the mat
ter, and the result is that the latter was
requested to take proper steps to have the
case taken to the United States supreme
court. 1t is understood that the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis and the Manitoba roads
are also interested in the result of this
suit the same as the Omaha is, and that this
interest grows out of the fact that similar
tax titles are held against lands belonging
to those roads. The report has been circu
lated that the Hon. G. K. Davis had been
retained by the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road. This gentleman was seen last ight and
denied the statement. and said he had no au-
thority whatever to speak for that road.
He had had one or two accidental CONVEX
sations with Mr.. Springer, the attorney of
the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, but had
not been retained by corporation. He eX
pressed the opinion, however, the same as
he gave in the GLOBE few days ago. that
the law was unconstitutional provided the
United States supreme court followed out
its own rulings. The United States con-
stitution declares that property shall not be
taken from the citizen unless by due pro-
cess of law, and the United States supreme
court. in the Hart case from Texas, de-
clared that similar notice published in a
newspaper was not sufficient. Mr.. G. d.
O'Brien was also seen. but declined to make
any statement further than that of admit
ting that steps were being taken to take the
case to the supreme court of the United
States. where it was proposed to have the
constitutionality of the state tax law of this
state as to this point fully tested.

letter to Mr.. Rice paid him the high COM
pliment of being, more than any
other citizen of the state, worthy of
this distinction for the part he
took in shaping affairs at Washington early
in the sixties and assured him of the APP
probation of his services by the COM
mander, no less than of those actively en-
gagged in the fighting. Mr.. Rice's reply ac-
cepted briefly and modestly the honor ex-
tended.
THE PAPER OF THE EVENING
was by Maj. Charles j. Allen, who gave an
account of the operations against Mobile
and its defenses. He enumerated as the
more important of the events in 1864, near
Mobile. the capture of the ram Tennessee by
Farraguts fleet, and the artillery fire against
Fort Morgan; those of the spring follow
ing. as he said. while some
what overshadowed by the gigantic
operations in Georgia and Virginia, the
surrender of Lee and the assassination of
Lincoln. were yet amongst the most sue
cessful and important of the federal under
takings. He gave a brief sketch of Mobile,

Bad Diamond That Created Con
siderable Disturbance.

A Bad Diamond That Created Con.
siderable Disturbance.
A sort of a small-calibre volcano broke
loose in Chief of Police Clark's office late
yesterday afternoon when Alvin Patten
complained that E. A. Strauss had swindled
him on a diamond.
Patten is a diamond expert from Cincin-
natl, and claims to be away up in his bust
ness. Yesterday he purchased the diamond
stud of Strauss for $500, and threw in a
diamond ring. When he put the stud to a
crucial test he discovered that it was worth
about $40, being very fine-tinted imitation
stone. This discovery worked him up and
he went to Strauss and demanded his
money back, and was refused, Strauss
claiming that he purchased the stone from
G. G. Bergh, Al East Third street, paying
him S413 for it. County Attorney Egan
was brought in as mediator, and the mat
ter was amicably settled.

Syllabus-Where an action is main tainable
for tort simply, without reference to any
contract between the parties, the action is
one of tort purely, although the existence of
a contract may have furnished the occasion
or opportunity for committing the tort; and
the tort feasors need not be Joined as defend
ants. But in actions of torts founded on
contracts or ex quasi contractu. where the
action is not maintainable without pleading
and proving the contract, the gist Of the action
being its breach either by malfeasance or
nonfeasance, the action is one, in subject, on
the contract and all persons Jointly liable
must be sued. Rule applied to a case where
person employed the professional services
of firm of physicians and surgeons, and
one member of the firm while acting under
this employment failed to exercise proper
professional skill and care; holding that an
action by the patient for damages for such
failure was one on the contract, the breach
of which was the foundation of the action,
and hence all the members of the copartner-
ship must be Joined as defendants. Order
affirmed. MITCHELL, ].

Mr.. P. II. Kelly, who has been suffering
from serious cold for few days. was at
his usual place of business yesterday again,
looking as brisk and appearing as active as
ever. He held quite levee yesterday
afternoon, and all day, too, for that mat
ter and was as entertaining as ever. Now
that he is about we may expect to see some
thing done in regard to the Third street
bridge. If what Mr.. Middleton said in re-
gard to that structure at the Fifth ward
union last Monday night is correct, Mr..
Kelly cannot get his hands upon the bust
ness too quickly. Several members Of the
union declared there was a hitch some
where, but just where that hitch is none of
them were able to tell. They said they had
been working for twelve years for the
bridge and now saw no more chance than
there was twelve years ago.
~
And speaking of Mr.. Kelly's illness,
when Vice President Hendricks died Mr..
Kelly was the only merchant patriotic
enough to drape his building. Not small
number of his friends, seeing the sable Or
naments as they passed his door, were under
the impression for few minutes that our
member of the national committee had per-
ished from the earth.
~
The tramps at the police station Sunday
night had a picnic of large calibre. A
woman had been locked up for drunken
ness, and when she wanted drink of wa
ter she would call tramp to bring it; she
would then reward him with cigarette.
AS she was unusually thirsty, and insisted
on being served by new tramp each time,
she soon had cigarettes scattered throughout
the crowd and they lay on their backs and
pulled paper-covered rolls with gusto and
grace that would have well fitted hand
made dude.
