Sheriff J. II. White took Stephen
Baylif, the insane man, to Topeka FRI
day. He seemed to be growing worse.
During the morning before starting he
sang religious songs and whistled, keep
ing time with his feet At times he
seemed to think he was preaching. He
acted much like one having become non-
compus-mentus on account Of religion,
but he Is said to have been a very pro-
fame man before he became affected.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May 5.-A meeting of general
managers and freight agents of lines in
cluded in the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton was held. to-day at the office of Com
missioner George l.. Carman. After be-
ing called to order motion was made BY
President Cable that matters properly be-
fore them be referred for consideration and
conference to a committee composed of the
general managers The motion was
adopted, and all retired with the exception
of those officials. This left present Messrs.
r. r. Cable, Marvin Hughitt, Roswell Mil
Ter, r. j. Potter, F. B. Clarke, j. F.
Tucker and James Smith. These gentlemen
INDUCED in an amicable conversation rang
ing over not only points at issue in the as
ISOLATION, but also those outside that had
more or less bearing upon the subject in dis
pute. No proposals were made. no con-
cesSlons offered, and none of the represen-
tatlves indicated that they were prepared to
compromise. An hour was consumed in an
argumentative discussion, and then
an adjournment was had until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning. As
nearly as can be aScerts ined
from outside expression, the st. Paul peO-
pie still remain firm in their attitude upon
the mllllng-in-transit question, and will not
consent to report that business to the pool,
although they may be induced to agree to
distinct pool for that class OF traffic. The
meeting OF the arbitratOrs will take place at
commissioner Winnings office tomorrow. If
the northwestern does not yield by that

the tripartite organization.

ANieht Shoofing.

James O'Neil, the proprietor of the res
taurant at $40 Jackson street, was shot in
the shoulder in front of his salOon'a little
after 10 o'clock last night. The exact facts
of the case nor the name of the marksman
have not been learned. 1t appears on
inquiry, however, that the shooter visited
O'Neil's restaurant last night, and, while
devouring square meal, engaged in con-
versation with O'Neil's wife. O'Neil was
out at the time. Before the
conversation had been concluded
he returned, considerably under the
influence of liquor. His jealousy was
aroused instantly, and he concluded to
throw the intruder out of the place, which
he proceeded to do. The latter had scarcely
struck the sidewalk when he pulled his
revolver and fired two shots at O'Neil.
One of them missed the mark, the other
striking in the shoulder and inflicting a
painful though by no means dangerous
wound. In the excitement that followed
the man who did the shooting made good
his escape and had not been apprehended
up to o'clock.

That is the Democratic majority in the
city election on yesterday. 1t is the thunder
note of the peoples response to the ISLANDERS
of the Pioneer Press. When a newspaper
debauched its columns to villifying a man
like EDMUND RICE, whose whole life rec
ord has been one of purity and up
right conduct, it aroused the indig-
nation of his fellow-citiZens, who rushed to
the front to redeem his good name from the
spoliating hand of ruffian journalism. The
nearly 1000 majority for Comptroller
ROCHE is a thorough vindication of that
official from the cowardly assault which had
been made upon his capacity and integrity.
The election of Mr.. Cory over a popular
man like Judge BURR, who had not been
weighed down by the commentators of the
Pioneer Press, is victory of which the
former gentleman may well feel proud. 1t
is dress parade victory for the Democrats,
and Waterloo for the ring syndicate who
were running the Republican machine.
Oh, such day!
So fought, so follow'd and so fairly won,
Came not till now to dignity the times.

ceived letter from Dr.. SteinIeide begging
him to find his wife and return her to him.
Shortly after receiving the letter Mr.. Pink
erton happened to be in the city detective
department of the city hall when a hand
some but careworn woman entered
and asked to be shown detec-
tive. To Mr.. Pinkerton and
others she explained that she was Mrs.

and wished to give herself up. She said
she had not been unfaithful to her husband,
but left him because of his cruelty towards
her, and at st. Louis came across the for
mer negro servant by accident, which meet
ing she supposed gave rise to tie elopement
story. Coming to Chicago she had worked
since as an ordinary domestic. Mrs. Stein

amory and tomorrow will be returned to
her husband and children.

GREENFIELD JEALOUSY.

The Pioneer Press has not had an honest
motive in this city campaign just closed.
The animus of its warfare on the city gov
eminent has not all been partisan bias-not
a tenth as much as hatred of the GLOBE.
In bygone years the Pioneer Press domi-
mated, SO far as journal can dominate, the
affairs of the Northwest. More recently it
has had opposition. The Minneapolis
Tribune contested its every inch of foothold
in Minneapolis, and has driven it
almost entirely out of that field. In st.
Paul, its dernier resort, the GLOBE has en-
countered and bafded it at every turn. It's
power is nil and what it bemoans most)
it's patronage is dwindling. In casting about
for means of subsistence it fancied that the
city printing would be a desirable acquisi-
ton to its lean and depicting larder. But
the GLOBE had that! So its covetousness
consorted with its cunning. 1t raised hue
and cry that the Democratic administration
was corrupt; that it existed in fact only to
aid in the maintenance of rival to the Pr
oneer Press. Alackaday!
Now mark its mendacity! It knew that
if the entire city administration was Re
publican it could not curtail the amount of
city printing done, because that is regulated
by special law passed by Republican
legislature. But pause; if the city admins
tration was Republican then the Pioneer
Press would secure the city print
ing to build up its waning fortunes-that is,
if the administration did not give it to it's
honest neighbor, the Dispatch, as the county
officials did.
What to it was the adolescent youth,
MERRIAM What to it was the parasitical
MoCARDY! What all the other odds and
ends of Republican politics, in it's little
game of push pin! They were only means
to it's own selfish ends. Having no money
to spare, it was enforced to spend
somebody else's. So it beguiled the rich
young MERRIAM into it's power. In
ill repute with the majority of its own
party, it espoused former leaders of it,
hoping to win over the men who hitherto
had defeated and opposed it. 1t relied on
McCARDY to bring the whilom CASTLE
faction into its camp. Insolence and intim-
idation, Misrepresentation and mendacity,
reviling and rascality were the weapons of
its warfare. Such was the campaign con-
ceived and conducted by the facile Pioneer
Press. Behold the result!
Baffied and defeated, it sinks from before
the public gaze with paltry apologies. The
candidates whom it espoused are prone in
the dust of defeat-forever lost to even
themselves. The party whose leadership
it presumptiously assumed has been COW
cred with disgrace and humiliation. And
the GLOBE, the real objective point Of it's
warfare, to speak jocularly, as we can
afford to-is doing quite we'll Our feel
ings of contempt for the worthless who
sought to dignity themselves by securing
our enmity are mingled with pity-pity
that an inscrutable Providence should have
a place in his vast creation for creatures so
entirely eviscerated of all the attributes that
should permit their tenancy of humanity's
guiSe.

Observation-Disclosures.

The GLOBE returns its thanks to the re-
joicing Democracy of the city for
the splendid serenade given this Office
last night. It is satisfaction to
know that our efforts in behalf
of the Democratic ticket in this contest are
appreciated by our party friends and by the
people of all parties. 1t is not for the
GLOBE to say what it has done in the can
vass; we are too modest for that. But it
can speak of what it has not done. 1t has
not done anything that it is ashamed of. 1t
has not gone out of the way to traduce in
dividuals If it said harsh things it pre-
sented the authority for what it said. 1t
has aimed to conduct the Democratic side
of the canvass in respectful manner, and
relied upon facts and argument rather than

ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS.
To BE Ventilated.


After the grand jury had been excused in
the district court yesterday, Mayor O'Brien
called the attention of Judge Brill to GER
tain charges of criminal nature made
by morning paper against city officials.
In speaking of the matter Mr..
O'Brien said that he felt constrained to
bring the subject before the court both
on account of the gravity of the charges,
from the fact Of his position as chief execu-
tive of the city, and for the further reason
that he owed it to his profession as a law
yer He repeated that the court would see
to bring the matter to the attention of
the grand jury, in order that the charges
might be investigated and the parties either
iddicted or vindicated. The matter was
taken under advisement and the grand jury
will no doubt be instructed to fully inves-
tigate the matter

THE GREAT VICTORY.

The very air is redolent with the rich
odors of splendid Democratic vi ctory.
Yesterday was grand day for st. Paul.
1t marked a long stride in the city's progress
toward its future greatness and prosperity,
and gave fresh impetus to its growth that
cannot be checked and will make its infiu-
ence for good felt in all the years to come.
While there is just cause for congratulation
on the part Of all good citizens
upon the result of yesterdays vote.
there is something peculiarly gratifying to
the Democratic heart in the splendid
triumph which our city Democracy achieved
in the face of a determined and unscrupu-
lous opposition. 1t was the triumph of
justice over wrong, of truth over falsehood.
of liberalism over fanaticism, of honesty
over dishonesty, of the honest masses over
ring power, of labor over MONOPOLY. of
economic government over blood-suckinp
syndicate. In short it was a grand victory
OF the people, won by the people and for
the good of the people
Now that the conflict is over and the VIC
tory won we can calmly review the causes
which led to the results. First of
all 1t was an Endorsement by the
people of the Democratic admins
tratlon Of the city government. And
in the second place it was a command To
the Democratic party to go forward in the
line IL mad marked out for building up the
prosperity of the city. Perhaps under any
ordinary circumstances asmuniGipal election

ABOLDFIRE FnEND.
The Pillsbury & Hulburt Elevator
Burned to the Ground.


Burned to the Ground.
Special to the Globe
CRooKsToN, Mimi, May 5.-Just before
midnight suspicious character was noticed
in the depot. He wore rough
clothing, black SLOUGH hat and
had heavy mustache. In answer
to an inquiry he said he was from Winni-
peg. He proceeded up the track to the
Pillsbury q Hurlburl elevator, which he
quickly set fire to, using kerosene. AS he
emerged from under the building he ran,
pursued by Chief of Police Bowling, who
fired two shots but failed to
hit the miscreant who escaped in the
darkness. Berore help could be obtained
the flames had made such progress that it
was impossible to save anything. The burn
ing brands were carried by a strong wind
for mile or more and the town was saved
only by the greatest effort. George Tunnel,
P. Il II. S. manager, had been at the elevator
only few minutes previous to the break
ing out of the flames. AS he feared the
sparks from the Northwestern elevator
burnt last night might communicate to
others he lost his personal effects. No one
doubts not that last nights fire was incen-
diary in its origin. The people would have
made short work of the fire bug should he
have been caught

would have resulted in a Democratic vic
tory. But the unusually large majority for
the Democratic ticket was helped along by
other causes. Perhaps most prominent of
these auxiliary causes was the course pur-
sued by the Pioneer Press, which
was the organ of the syndicate that con-
trolled the opposition. That paper, some
time before the canvass opened, had COM
menced to prepare the way for the remark
Quoted against the Democratic ticket. A
good while ago it had obtained from Comp
troller ROCHE batch of statistics relating
to the city finances. and then deliberately
changed and distorted the comptroller's
figures for the double purpose OF
affecting the city's credit and of poison
ing the mind of the public against
an honest official, in whose integrity that
journal knew the people of the city had i'm
plicit confidence This was followed up by
capturing the Republican organization
through the use of money and machine
methods and then opening the most vituper-
alive campaign ever known in the history
of our municipal politics. With the hypo-
critical cant of business reform the Pioneer
Press filled its columns with falsehoOd after
falsehood affecting the honesty of Demo-
cratic officials. 1t sought to beSmirch the
character and reputation Of men whom all
the people knew to be honest and honor
able. Parading itself as the champion of the
business interests of the city, it undertook
to get up fictitious assembly of business
men to give itself fictitious Endorsement.
Its arrogance and scurrility had so incensed
the business population that they took the
Pioneer Press at its word and assembled
themselves to give expression to their utter
reputation of its championship, and in
strongest terms condemned its indecent
course. This feeling of disgust at the course
pursued by that paper had permeated all
classes, and, aroused by the malicious
assaults it had made upon honorable gentle
men, the people turned on the day of cleo
ton and in most emphatic manner placed
the seal of condemnation upon that style of
journalism.
Another contributing cause to the great
Democratic victory was the fidelity of labor
unions, embodying as they did the great
mass of our workingmen, to the Demo-
cratic party. True to the instincts of their
manhood the workingmen of the city were
proof against the fawning Establishments of
monopoly, and with honest indignation
scorned and repealed the seductive influ-
ences of gold which were held out by the
ring syndicate. In this contest the honest
workingman in his plain clothes has demon
strated his power. He is the power above
all others which upholds the entire political
and social structure. From his hard hands
flow those constant rivulets which feed and
swell the illimitable ocean of our revenues.
He showed his appreciation of his power
and his manhood when on yesterday he cast
his vote for the Democratic ticket.
Taking it altogether, the result of yester-
days victory is subject of congratulation
to every citizen who feels an interest and
pride in the city's growth and advancement.
Democrats of st. Paul, you have done your
duty, and have done it nobly.

through the Mackinaw straits yesterday
morning, being the first boat through. The
boat is supposed to be fast in the ice west

river boat up from ST. Louis is to citizens
of st. Paul.
The earliest date at which the straits
were opened since 1854 was March IA, 1878,
and the latest next to this year was May 4,

N. V. Central and wabash Quarrel.

The order of Col. Talmadge, general
all Wagner sleepers taken off the road as
rapidly as possible and substitute Pullman
and Mann bOudoir cars is the result of
quarrel that has been in progress between
the two companies for some time. A few
years ago the New York Central Sleeping
Car company made contract with the
Wabash for running its sleepers between
Chicago and all Eastern points. Some
months ago the Wabash commenced to run
Mann boudoir cars between st. Louis and
Detroit, and Pullman cars between st. Louis
and Boston. The New York Central Sleep
ing Car company claimed that this was in
direct violation of the contract with the
Wabash, and demanded that the latter throw
Off the Mann and Pullman cars and run
New York Central sleepers exclusively.
AS the Wabash persistently refused to COM
ply with this request orders were given
Monday by the New York Central Sleep
ing Car company to withdraw all its
sleepers from the lines Of the Wabash. This
action breaks all connections of the Wabash
with the Lake Shore, New York Central
and Boston & Albany to New York and
Boston via Toledo. The New York Cen
trail sleepers have been running over the
following Wabash routes: Chicago and st.
Louis, Chicago and Kansas City, Chicago
and Peoria, and ST. Louis and Toledo. The
Wabash will now be compelled to run its
through sleepers to the East via Detroit.
Passengers going via Toledo will be COM
PEELED to change cars at that point.
Live Stock Pool from Chicago East.
Commissioner Fink has just issued the
official report of the proceedings of the
Chicago committee of the joint executive
committee, held at his Office April 80. The
question whether the notice of withdrawal
of the Grand Trunk from the east-bound pool
also applied to live stock was considered.
The representative of the Grand Trunk
stated that his company was willing to re-
main party to the live stock provision,
provided the accounts were adjusted up to
the present date upon a proper basis. Mr..
Newell, of the Lake Shore, said the ac-
counts would be adjusted in accordance
with the contract, and wanted to know
whether the Grand Trunk was willing to
remain in the live stock pool. Mr. Scar
geant, of the Grand Trunk. said that,
technically, the notice of withdrawal did
apply to the whole contract, including both
dead freight and live stock, but if it was
the wish of the other Chicago roads, his
company would remain party to the live
stock division. Mr.. Newell asked if any
action should be taken regarding Mr.. Scar
geant's statement, and, there being no reply,
he announced that the meeting would stand
adjourned.
