RIEE,S UNCLE
Is a Doubling Thomas Oh the Sub.
ject of His NephevVss Capture.

Frank Riel, residing on the East side, is
an uncle of Louis Riel, the great rebel
leader, whose capture was chronicled in the
GLOBE yesterday. He is stone cutter by
trade and was found at work on the John
son residence by GLOBE reporter yester-
day afternoon. He had heard nothing of
RiePs capture until told of it by reader
of. the GLOBE at noon. He was greatly
surprised to hear this, but doubted it, say
ing that the papers had previously reported
him dead or captured once OF twice and he
could not believe it until he had further
word. He said the half-breeds had been
treated unfairly by the Canadian govern
ment and that they were justified in fight
ing for no more than their rights. He was
almost heart stricken on hearing the news
but kept on at his work, waiting, he said,
for confirmation of the report. Mr.. Riel
came to Minneapolis from Montreal in 1856
and is much liked by his fellow workmen
and all who know him,

A well attended meeting of the board of
park commissioners was held yesterday af-
ternoon. The declination of Col. W. S.
King of appointment as member of the
board was received and laid On the table
a communication was read from the Oak
Lake Improvement association calling at
tentiOn to the park in that section of the
city, and the necessity of filling in portion
of the shore of Oak lake. The society
stated in view Of the improvements made
already by private citizens that it felt justi
fed in asking the commissioners to apprO-
pirate $500 to be expended in dredging Oak
lake and constructing boulevard. While
the feeling of the board was evinently in
the direction of helping the association, it
was doubted whether it was in its power to
appropriate money for this use. The mat
ter was finally referred to the attorney,
Judge Fish.

to buy their hospital property and fixing
the price at S25, 900 without the building or

the titles to the lands abutting Lake Har-
riet, and found them incumbered. All of
the land but six lots is owned by H. B.
Beard and L. f. Menage. The mortgage
gave assurance that the strip of land
125 feet wide about the lake would be con-
veyed to the city'upon condition that the.
driveway around the lake can be put in rea-
sonable condition this year. In the absence
of any estimate as to the cost of laying the
driveway. the board by vote indicated that
whatever was found necessary would be
done to put the boulevard in reasonable
condition during the present year, as re-
quired by Mr.. Menage.

POUR PAssERLE TEMPS.
Attractions at the TheaterS..Private
Entertainments this Week.


Rhea closed her engagement at the
Grand last night, playing to one Of the
best houses of her season here. 1.-THE
American Countess is captivating play,
and in it Rhea appears to great advantage.
The Minneapolis people did not turn out
for her as they should. AS an actress she
is head and shoulders above many to whom
our people have shown every attention,
and for whom they have packed the Grand.
Sweet, womaniy, and genuine artist, she
should have been greeted by crowded houses
every night.
The next attraction at the Grand is the
Lachmrnd concert, on Monday night,
which gives promise of being something
more than ordinarily good. The Lach-
munds will be assisted by Miss Emma
Lachmund of Burlington, Ia, and Miss
Bertha Crouch of Cincinnati, the we'll
known elocutioniSt.
Miss Grace Hawthorne, nee Garland, and
now Mrs. Murray, will return to the Grand
this week with her new play, ''Queena."
1t is said to be good one, and there is con-
siderable curiosity to see it.
The Minneapolis public will have abun-
dant opportunity to satisfy its ambition in
the vaudeville line. The First Avenue the
alter has new and attractive bill, and the
Rentz- Santley combination will open at the
Pence opera house tomorrow.
Col. r. G. Ingersoll will deliver one of
his Characteristic lectures at the Grand next
Saturday night. (Which Way" is the title
OF course he will have houseful of people
to hear him.
Barry & Fay will follow Grace Haw-
thorne at the Grand, with their latest COM
edy.
The Caledonian club has prepared an ex-
cellent and attractive programme for its
entertainment at Curtiss hall on Tuesday
evening.
The second Morse organ recital will
occur at Westminster church next Wednes-

paramount object of the architect The
front elevation disclOSes large, broad glass
windows while the brick work is deal
less in comparison than any other block in
the city. The offices will not only be lighted
from the 'front.' but also from the rear. TO
effect this there will be an open court in the
center, 32x65, extending from basement to
roof, capped by a skylight. On each floor
will extend handsomely arranged cOrri-
dor with strong screen between that and
the court All the partitions are largely
constructed of glass, either ground or
stained.
Mr.. Mix made particular study of Sc
curing proper heating and excellent ventila-
ton. The heating will be accomplished
by steam apparatus, while the ventlating
tubes are so arranged that the air in every
room in the structure must be constantly
changing. The block is high and in order
to make the upper stories desirable as
Offices quick and easy access will be pro-
vided. Two of the latest improved eleva-
tors will be put in, giving the best possible
service in this direction.
ABSOLUTELY FIRE PROOF.
The Messrs. Herrick Bros. and Thomas
Lowry evidently do not care to get burned
out again, for they have provided for q
building more secure against fire than has
ever before been attained in this state. No
wood, except a few inside finishings, will
be used. The basement will be of red
granite, as will the foundations. The jOistS
will be of cast iron and the arches OF fire
proof hollow tile. The pillars will also be
of iron, encased in matrices OF terra Gotta
to prevent the effect OF heat it the furni-
ture should catch ON fire, for the building
cannot. All partitions will be of hollow
tile and terra Gotta. The stairs, elevator
frames, etc., will all be constructed
of the best iron. Hollow tile
and iron will be the
material to be used in the roof. There will
be two entrances main entrance on
Washington and side entrance on Henne-
pin. The vestibule into which the en-
frances will enter, leading to the elevator
shafts, will be particularly superb. The
wainScOting of the vestibule will be Of
marble, highly polished, while the staircase
mountings will be of exquisite designs in
brass.
The entire structure will be
DEVOTED TO OFFICES.
The basement or ground floor, Mr.. Her
rick thinks, VIII be entirely rented to lum-
Der firms and insurance agents. The second
story to banking houses and like business.
while the others will be devoted to real es-
tate and miscellaneous offices. Much
of the space has already been en-
gagged by energetic business men.
Wilkes McDermott says he will have
completed his contract OF clearing away the
debris of the old building by Tuesday noon
next, when Fisher Il Co will begin the work
of constructing the new block. The struc-
trre will be under roof Nov. Is, and will
be fully completed April of next year.
MI. E. W. Herrick states that the pro-
jectors have not yet decided upon nomen-
clature for the new block, but that in
no event will the name of either Of the pro-
prietorS appear

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Held to the Grand Jury as the Re.
suit of a Nights Lark.

At an early hour yesterday morning an
unsophisticated Scandinavian from Litch-
field was walking down Washington avenue
toward the Milwaukee depot when he was
met by Thomas Devine. the pugilist, and a
friend of the latter. They were out for a
lark, it seems, and Devine feeling particu-
larly gay saluted, it is charged, the green
horn from Litchield, asking him how he
was fixed financially. Devine wanted an
other drink and he wanted the boy to buy
it. The Litchfelder refused, and Devlne
said, "How much money have you got?"
''Fifty-five cents" was the reply. ''Let me
see it." and the youth showed up. Devine
helped himself and set the victim adrift.
Devine and his companion were both
pinched by the police and Devine was given
preliminary examination, when the above
facts were adduced, the court holding him
to the grand jury and failing to fix bond.
Deyine's young friend was not arraigned, it
being apparent, and to the satisfaction of
the court, that he was in no wise connected
with the affair."

DenOunce n Tribune Editorial.
Quite number of well-known Irish citi-
Lens of Minneapolis were seen in consulta-
lion yesterday, evidently very indignant
and exercised over something. Inquiry led
to the following statement:
I'VE are indignant, you are right. Did
you see the editorial in this mornings
Tribune? Well, we can stand one or two
of those vile attacks, but when they become
persistent we're going to show the propri-
etors of the paper we have the power to re-
sent it. We had 1G, 900 of these circulars
printed, and on Sunday they will be dis
tributed broadcast over Minneapolis"
The circular alluded to is bright green in
color. with the following printed ON it in
large type:
IRISHSIEN, ATTENTION.
The Tribune of this city yesterday used
the following language: Education is
Irelands only salvation. The oppresSor of
the Irish people as a whole is no iron-heeled
tyrant, but ignorance. Let the sun of edu-
cation send its rays through the cloud of
barbarian ignorance which hangs over Ire
land, for one generation only, and the re-
suit will be astonishing. Ignorance is the
weight which keeps Ireland down, and this
must be removed before she can take her
place as responsible country on the same
plane with her contemporaries.
Irishmen, how do you like this SANDER?
What are you going to do about it? Meet
this evening at Window hall, corner Wash
ington and Second avenues south, at s
o'clock, and show by your presence that
you resent such gratuitous insults from the
Minneapolis Tribune, a newspaper which is
a curious combination of Boston ''culchaw''
and Kansas City vulgarity, and which has
rancorously assailed the character of the
Irish people since the new management
took charge of it. Show this poisonous
raJtlesnake that he cannot attack Irishmen
with impunity. God save Ireland.
MANY prominent Irish-Americans will
address the meeting" continued the
speaker, land will handle the Tribune
without gloves The promoters of this
movement against the Tribune are de-
termined that every Irish family in the city
will be made acquainted with its attacks
upon the Irish people, and then they can
support it if they please"

New YORK W Ord.
The doughty Gen. Middleton got his eye on
the enemy last Saturday, fought battle and
reported splendid victory for his forces.
Considering that the generals losses footed

doubt whether he was accidentally killed or

the battle could have been a very sanguinary
