previous speakers wholly in placing all the
blame on the poor baggagemaSters No doubt
some of them were recreant TO the great
trust reposed in them. But he believed that
the chief trouble lay at the doors of the
railroad companies themselves. Time was
when they used to supply axes and other
implements for the use of the baggage
masters in performing the legitimate and
arduous duties of their position. 1t was
then a comparatively easy matter to get
into trunk and strew the entire line of the
road with wearing apparel. But axes no
longer formed part of the
BAGGAGEMAN's OUTFIT.
He also thought that the trunk-smashers
should be advised of the trouble they were
entailng by making the baggage so absurdly
strong. To do this was to defeat the ends
for which each baggageman should con-
slider it his duty TO zealously lakor.
A delegate from Iowa begged to offer a
resolution which he thought whould cover
the ground, as follows:
Resolved, That the National Association
of Baggage Smashers, i'm convention as
sembled, deplores the growing neglect and
disregard of the plainest principles of our
grand profession.
Resolved, That we call on every member
of the convention to strive by both precept
and example TO bring back the palmy days
when pieces of baggage were more easily
and more frequently opened.
The resolution was adopted, and the
meeting adjourned for dinner, at
least that is the report brought i'm by
the reporter assigned to attend the meeting
in the morning. There was something
suspicious about it, though, and another
man was sent in the afternoon, whose re-
port is found in another place.

AFTER a WILD GOOSE.
The Bird Fled fn Time and EIuded
His Pursuer.

A few days ago Capt. Bresette quietly
left ST. Paul for Chicago III search of Ed
Helcher, young man whose love of con-
nubial felicity led him to adjust the bridal
moose once too often. Helcher. so the
story goes, came TO St. Paul last autumn
from Chicago, where he left his wife. made
so about year before. to remain until his
return. He was bricklayer by trade and
was engaged on some work about the Union
block. Shortly afterwards he became ac-
quainted with Miss Elvira Monti. whose
home is the grape-cOvered cottage on the
corner of Fourth and Cedar streets. With
the usual success of a giddy deceiver. he
wooed and won Miss MONT, and the two
were married late in the winter few
weeks ago Helcher left st. Paul for Chi
cage, and a little later it was discovered
that he had another wife. The mother of
the deceived girl at once made a COMPLAINT
against I1elcheT, and il was with a view
of esc0rting him back to St Paul
that the captain made his trip. When he
reached Chicago he easily learned where
Helcher was to be found when no officer
was looking for him. When the latter was
around, however, Helcher was out. In
qulrieS among his friends disclosed nothing.
Some looked wise, some looked foolish and
scratched the place where brains are wont
to be. One said he had gone East, another
South, while some limited that he had hid
right in his own city At all events the
captain found him not and yesterday re-
turned TO st. Paul, good-natured, smiling
and alone. He says that Helcher was adj
NlSed of his coming in time to get out of
the road.

streets was then made according to the line
of march already mentioned. On their ar
rival at Market hall the members of the
grand lodge were welcomed to st. Paul by
brief address from Mayor Rice. The
march was thence continued to the place of
beginning, where the procession broke up.
OFFICERS INSTALLED.
There were about one. hundred colored
ladies and gentlemen besides the MasOns
present in Music hall at the evening ses-
sion, when the officers were publicly in
stalled. The brotherhood marched from
the hall of Pioneer lodge on jackson street
in full regalia, reaching the place of installa-
ton about $3.50 o'clock. After some prelimi-
naries the services were began. Forming
IN double file they marched several times
around the hall while Hilyard's orchestra
played a section. the members of the
grand lodge finally seating themselves in
chairs placed in half-circle
before the small platform. Rev. c. w.
Newton of Minneapolis, was introduced,
and delivered an address of welcome on be-
half of the African masons of the two
cities. Following this two members of the
grand chapter with long white wands, adj
Vanced and placing the tips of the wands
together so as to form an angle of about $50
over the chaplain's head. 4 prayer was
offered while the entire masonic body arose
and responded 80 mote it be-" The in
stallation exercises followed, the usual
questions being asked each and the peculiar
insignia of the Office being fastened to their
coats. The following is the list:

THE CONTRADICTORY CAMPERS.
Ought They TO be Punished for
Burning that Effigyl

There was in certain circles yesterday
more or less talk of the closing act of the
First regiment at White Bear, when MEM
bers of the regiment burned Adjt. Gen. Mac
earthly in effigy. A sentiment was expressed
some eX-officers that while the act was
hasty and done probably in a thoughtless
spirit its effect ON the guard would be UNI
favorable, as it would tend TO create feel
ing throughout the state of lack of dig
nifty and soldierly character on the part of
the militia. When considered in its rela-
ton to the refusal of Gov. Hubbard to re-
lease Col. Bend from arrest during camp it
might be construed as an insult to the
commandeT-in-chief. Possibly those who
participated" said an eX-ofiicer ''are sub
ject to court-martal. Nearly every act
of soldier is touched upon by the articles
of war, and there is an omnibus clause con-
.cering any and all others. In the regular
army the articles are read to the soldiers
once i'm six months, and it might be well to
have the same law as TO the militia"
The article of war referred to above is
article G2, as follows:
All crimes not capital and all disorders and
neglects which officers and soldiers may be
guilty Of TO the prejudice Of good order and
military dis -ipline though not mentioned in
the foregoing articles of war are TO be taken
cognizance of by a general or regimental,
garrison or field officers court-martial, ac-
cording to the nature and degree of the
ohense, and punished at the discretion of
said court

CONCERNING BAGGAGE.
Is There TOO Much Care Taken OF in
by Train HaudSl

When the meeting of the baggagemaSters'
association convened yesterday morning the
president announced that he feared that
there was a growing tendency on the part
of members of the association TO allow
trunks and satchels to go through to their
destination minjured. He had been in
formed that even on long runs some of the
baggage reached the terminus in as good
condition as when put on the car. even
when the trunks were frail affairs that
might easily have been opened. He hoped
these rumOrs were not true: he could hardly
believe there was any foundation for them.
Certainly no member of the association
who appreciated at its true worth
the Importance of his calling would be 81
false to his trust; and if any were growing
negligent in this matter be trusted that they
would reform at once.
a delegate from Ohio remarked that he
feared there was some truth in the presi-
dents remarks. He did not wish to call
names, but he knew of a baggageman on
the same road with himself who had carried
valise which he knew to be unlocked for
hundred miles or more without even open-
ing 1t. lie was almost stunned with appre-
hension when he heard of this conduct
which was, to say the least, extremely repre-
hensible. How any self-respecting bag
gagemaster could allow himself to fall into
such disreputable habits was beyond his
comprehension, and the grave question of
public safety was involved in this matter
Surprising one of these pieces of baggage,
so carelessly allowed to go unexamined,
should contain dynamite OF other destructive
explosives that might send a whole train
load OF innocent passengers
INTO ETERNITY IN A HOLY MINUTE.
He shuddered to think of the awful de-
shuction of life and property that might re-
suit from even late negligence in this
matter
A delegate from Indiana stated that none
could TAU to recognize the truth of the re-
marks OF the foregoing speakers. They re-
Nealed a state Of affairs that was disgrace
1ul and still was matter of public noto-
riety. 1t was not always thus He used
TO wear clean shirt almost every day that
he took from the baggage of passengers.
Now how was it? He had to buy his own
shirts. Grcans-l Now why were these
things thus? He did not agree with the

AYOUNG FORGER.
He Claims That PaternaI Cruelty
Drove Him TO Crime.

Henry Eichhorn. a nice-looking young
fellow II years of age, was arrested by De-
tective Kenaley yesterday afternoon for
passing off forged paper. Eichhon is a
son'of a saloonkeeper by that name, who
does business at Seven corners. Some time
ago he left home TO make his own living
because, as he alleges, of an ill-natured step
mother. He had learned the trade of paper
hanging, and made a good living up to
three months ago, when he got out of en-
ployment. The idea of procuring money
by forged paper, however, did not occur
to him until few days ago, when he, ac-
cording to his story, found check for s11
lying on the street. He got it cashed at some
place on Third street When the money for
that was spent he thought of writing out
some other checks, which he did, using the
the name of John Matheis, his former en-
plOyer. He thus drew up four or five, the
amounts varying from S12 to SIS. Yes
terday morning he passed off two for SIS,
each on the French bakery near Seven cor
ners. The checks were soon found TO have
been forged. The police were at once no
titled and given description OF the youth
who passed the paper. The description led
at once to young Eichhon's arrest, who
admitted his guilt.

A Narrow Escape.

A very serious drowning accident was
happily averted at White Bear on Tuesday
afternoon by the timely arrival of assist
ance. 1t seems that Rev. Mr.. MeAfee, a
retired minister living at the lake, in COM
pany with r.. NJ. johnson. his wife and
child, and John Light, went out in frail
skiff for pleasure ride. Mrs. johnson fur
Their amused herself by casting line for
fish. When some distance out on the lake
Mrs. johnson caught large fish. and in
the pulling-in process the boat was cap
sized. The entire party chung to the boat,
which furnished a buoy for nearly two
hours and until assistance came. When
rescued they were all in an extremely
exhausted condition, and would have been
unable to cling to the upturned boat much
longer. They were taken to the shore in a
skitf, and soon recovered from the effects of
their long stay in the lake.

THE STORM.
The Report Made by the Signal Ser
vice.


The severe storm which passed over st.
Paul early yesterday morning, according to
adyices received by Signal Service Officer
Lyons, generated on the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains and i'm the immediate
vicinity of Fort Custer. The storm started
at that point shortly before midnight on
Wednesday and at an early hour Yesterday
it was centrally located at Moorhead. 1t was
accompanied by rains, general throughout
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. the
most severe rain falling along the Mime
sofa and Northwestern territory. The
storm covered an area of about 800 miles
from the center in each direction. Such
storms are invariably accompanied with a
tornado at the south or southeast of the
storm center, and it was this particular part
of the storm which touched St. Paul. The
natural results of such storms are cold
winds and dry, clearing weather, which fol-
lows in the wake of the storm. The cool
ness of last night might be expected to in
crease gradually until this morning. but not
to any alarming extent About tomorrow
it will begin TO grow warm again. The
cold wave covers about the same area as
the storm, and will follow the latter in an
easterly direction.

A BRUNETTE,S BREAK.
Louis Liverpool. the New CoIOred
Officer. Suspended.

An unusual rifle of excitement was
created among the colored folk yesterday
afternoon by a bad break of Louis Liver
pool, the newly-appOinted policeman, who
was named for that position as the expo
nent of the colored people. Liverpoops ap-
pointment, while satisfactory to one party
of colored citizens, appears to have been a
cause for Jealousy to another, and the latter
began to Systematically tantalize him. No
tlceable among this number was Tom JEFF
ferSon, better known as ''big Tom" a man
who was at one time chief striker" at one
of Chinn's gambling houses. Liverpool
owes Jefferson $40. and the latter followed
him around yesterday morning trying to OBJ
tam 1t. Every place Liverpool went into
jefferson followed and dunned him for the
money. About l o'clock Liverpool went
into a saloon on Minnesota street and JEFF
ferson followed. asking the question when
are you going to pay me that Sl0?' Liver
pool turned around and said. ''I'll pay YOU
now" coupling the words with a left
handed blow on Jefferson's lower Jaw. The
blow knocked Jefferson through the door
out on the sidewalk. When he got up it
was to learn that his jawbone had been
broken. He reported the matter at the
police station, and was sent to City Ply
stefan Ancker. who set the bone. Liverpool,
although not o. duty, wore his star and
buttons at the time. He also reported what
had occurred, and the chief suspended him
until this morning, when he will be taken
before ayor Rice and probably stripped of
his buttons. The city officials and public
generally join in saying that Liverpool
served the Iuan right, so it is possible that
he viii be reprimanded and allowed to go.
