September vi Getting,
Capt. BART Atkins.

Among the modest announcements of the
Merchants hotel register Saturday morning
was ''B. Atkins, CITY," The Sunday
morning papers contained an announce
ment reading as follows: Judge Nelson,
of the United States circuit court, yester-
day appointed Barton Atkins United States
marshal for the district of Alaska" Both
these announcements are misleading. The
''B. Atkins, city," of the Merchants hotel
register, is Capt. Bart Atkins, well-knOwn
10 all readers of this department of the
GLOBE as frequent and valued cOntribu-
tor to its columns and as one of the most
genial, agreeable and accomplished gentle
men who ever put his hand to pen to
record the value of certain blood strain in
horse and in defense of honesty and
square dealings on the turf. Thanks to
his high character and general competency,
President Cleveland several weeks since
designated him to the position of United
States marshal for the district of Alaska.
Owing to the negligence of a clerk in the
attorney generals Office Capt. Atkins did
not get his commission until Saturday, the
Sth, the day of Grants funeral. In the
same inclOsure was letter referring him to
the organic act of Alaska for an under
standing of his duties, which required a

TO visit y. z. SwinefOrd. the appointed gov
ernor of Alaska, who left here Sunday last
for his post of duty, and he was unable to
leave Elmira. y. Y, until "Wednesday last.
The United States judge of that district be
ing absent on his vacation, Capt. Atkins
decided that he would delay taking his oath
Of Office until he reached St. Paul, before
Judge Nelson, a personal friend and, like
himself, a New Yorker. Arriving here the
captain was little upset by learning that
Judge Nelson was to leave for New York
city by the noon train. However. a visit
was made to the residence of the judge, and
he very kindly, and with evident pleasure.
visited his chambers and duly administered
to him the oath of Office in the presence of
a few personal friends. Capt. Atkins is
greatly disappointed at the delay in receiv-
ing his papers from Washington, as by it
he has been prevented from reaching the
August steamer for Sitka, his headquar-
tiers. from Port Townsend, which sailed on
the 10th. He will, therefore, most prOba-
bly, be lat home" at the Merchants to his
st. Paul and Minneapolis friends for the
next two weeks.

The progress being made by the man
ayers of the state fair in arranging the
grounds and completing the buildings is
truly surprising, Their promise to have
the buildings completed by the 10Th inst. will
very nearly be accomplished, notwithstand-
ing the setback from the fierce storm that
Frustrated the tower of the main building
The management have commenced this
morning in good earnest to proclaim aloud
to the world that grand fair is to be held
this year at the new permanent grounds, as
will be seen by inspecting the big an
nouncement in the advertising columns. 1t
is time the proclamations were issued, for
thousands have not as yet heard even the
dates, which are Sept. Z, s, Q, 10, IL

The secretary and his corps of assist
ants have their hands full at the Office on
the fair grounds in recording the entries,
which are coming in by the thousand.

The rIinneapoIis state Fair.

There appears to be some misappre-
henSiOn in regard to Secretary Judson's po-
sition i'll regard to the state fair, and also
as to where it is to be held. In the Chi

lowing statement: ''R. C. Judson writes

Minneapolis state fair is a new organi-
cation. it seems, and considerable curiosity
is expressed in regard to the position occu-
pied by Mr.. JudsOn. 1t was supposed that
he was the secretary of the State Agricul-
tural society. If he has resigned and
united himself with the Minneapolis state
fair" the public announcement of this fact
here at home would seem to be the proper
eaper." 1t would seem also that the Of
ficers of the state fair ought to be able to
let people know where the state fair is to
be held.

To the Editor of the Globe:

a communication from your correspondent
at indianapolis, Ind, in which he has made
several mistakes in reference to the capture
of JEFF Davis. L think it only justice to my
immediate comrades to have a correction
made. jeff Davis was captured by the
Fourth Michigan cavalry under command
of Lieut.. Col. Pritchard of the Second
cavalry division army of the Cumberland
and not by the Second Michigan The
prisoners were not taken to Macon. Ga, in
an old. rickety wagon, as your correspond
ent says. They We're taken in two army
ambulances, in one of which Were JEFF
Davis and his wife, and in the other his
sister-in-law, a maid servant and Davis
two boys. Your correspondent would also
lead your readers to believe that he was
taken with an old hoopskirt and straw hood
while waterproof cloak with hood at
tached were the superfluous clothing he had
on. which facts l can have corroborated by
several parties in this city who were present
at the transaction. In justice to the Fourth

He KNEW Hin Ilu.iness.

The man Christensen, arrested by Officer
Zirklebach few days ago, and sent TO the
workhouse for thirty days for larceny, was
according to late discoveries well up in his
business. He represented himself as a
Dakota missionary, and went around with
a subscription paper, asking simply for
clothes. He wanted 10 send them to Da-
kota's poor. 1t seems that by this means
he collected AZ coats % vests, 3S pairs of
pantaloons and aquantity of other clothing,
all of which, it is alleged, he sold at some
