Adventures Of a Pretty Miss.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, May 6.-The city
has been agitated over the adventures of
Miss Fannie Randall, one of the most beau
tiful pupils of the Georgia Baptist female
seminary located here. Miss Fannie is a

Calling in the aid of the chief of police
pursuit was given, which lasted all day.
Miss Fannie, on making her escape from the
building met a young lawyer named Austin

NO SWELLED HEADS.
A Notable Absence of Enlarged Graz
NUNS i'm the Police Court.


1t was the day after the battle, in the
police court, and if there were any enlarged
craniums they must have been on ice, as the
harvest of swelled heads gathered by the
police was very light. The only victims to
lection-day red-eye were William Brand
and John Reese, both of whom had looked
Oh the booze when it was beady. The
court gave them each some good advice and
let them 60.
A. C. Warner was yanked OH the charge
of selling liquor without a license, and his
case was continued to the 14th inst.
Mary johnson had been on mild toot,
and, as she promised to reform, her SEN
tence was suspended.
The case of Mary Mulligan came up on
continuance. Mary is poor creature who
looks as if she is as much Sinned against as
SHINING. Her husband swore out war
rant for her arrest, and she was taken in
the same day, for drunkenness. The hear
ing went over until to-day.
The case of S. Simon, charged with the
larceny of horse, was again continued to
the 18th inst.
Thomas Holdship and Frank Boyer were
both charged with being disorderly, the hear

THE GRAND JURY.
Judge Brill Charges 1t to Investigate
the Pioneer Press Charges.

Judge Brill Charges 1t to Investigate
the Pioneer Press Charges.
The grand jury assembled before Judge
Brill in the district court yesterday morn
ing to receive instructions before retiring.
After appointing Juror Hardenbergh fore
man of the jury, his honor read the statutes
defining the duties of grand juries, laying
some emphasis upon that portion relating
to the indictment of public officials.
In conclusion Judge Brill said that there
was another point concerning which he had
few words to say before dismissing the
jury. Within the few days past statements
had been made in the public prints of this
city, charging certain present and former
city officials with gross malfeasance in Of
flee. He presumed the jurors had,
in common with other citizens,
read the statements in question.
While such charges were sometimes made
in the heat of a political campaign,
the statements referred to had been made
with such directness, reiteration and per-
sistence that it was the duty of the grand
jury to inquire into them. Public office was
of such a sacred character that if any pub
lie officer willfully neglects his duty or cor
ruptly perverts its functions, he should not
only be condemned by public sentiment but
punished by the courts. 1t was the duty of
the grand jury to indict any public officer
who had been guilty of willful or corrupt
misconduct in Office, or had willfully misap-
propriated public money. The grand jury
could inquire into the truth of such charges
and ascertain whether public officials were
guilty in any particular as charged.
While newspapers performed very yalti-
able functions in exposing corruption of
unworthy officials, and while they had a
right to criticize the actions of public men,
they had no right to charge any innocent
man with the commission of crime because
he is candidate for public office. If any
individual did this he was himself guilty Of
crime and liable to Indictment.
The jury then retired.

Biggest Cable in the world.

Speclal TO the GlODe.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Under the direction
of E. G. McClees, an expert in the laying
of underground telegraph wires, the biggest
cable has been laid under the pavement of
La Sale street which has ever been put
down on land anywhere in the world. It
is one half mile long, extending from the
switch board of the Western Union office
in the top story of the building on Wash
ington and La Sale streets to the SWITCH
board in the new board of trade building in
the tower. This cable has an aggregate
weight of seven and one quarter tons, and it is
composed of siXty-one conductors, viz:
Separate wires, all intefwffled and yet all
conveying separate currents of electricity.
In size this cable is as big as a section of
fire hose. ''There is now underground on
La Sale street the biggest conglomeration
of telegraph and other electric wires any
where in the world. believe" said Mr..
McClees. ''There are. let me see, in all
249 separate wires, besides those put down
by Barrett. the city electrician, which are
another twenty-five or thirty. All these
run to the new board of trade building.
There wont be room to lay any more lines

The White House Mistress.

| Wash. Correspondence Boston Globe.
Grover excepted, the Clevelands are re-
| ligious people-very simple unpretending,
ready to work in any field, under any hard
ship. Mrs. Hastings, one sister, is in In
dia. John Cleveland breaches in the little
hamlet of Forestport, three miles off the
railroad, up in John Browns tract. Many
time have stopped there ON the way to
| the trout streams. Mrs. Cleveland is a
| woman of marked religious character and
force. Back to years immemorial in the
minds of the village children she has taught
| i'm the Sunday school.
Now, when you put such woman in
the White house, there must be consequences.
| It is not the first time a sister has
| been placed there. A wife has a strong in
fluence over president. Mrs. Hayes is to
| be blamed for a good many things that
made her husband ridiculous and held him
up for the shafts of the press. Mrs. Gar
field spent the three or four months she was
in the White house watching the doors to
see who came in. Her anxiety was more
domestic than social, but it prefgured what
sort of a turn society would have taken had
Garfield lived. l think things would have
been good deal what they were under Ar
thur, and probably Mrs. Garfield escaped a
good deal of suffering that she did not
wholly fail to anticipate. Mrs. McElroy
gave graceful aid to her brother President
Arthur, but she furnished neither let nor
hindrance to the course of society. The So
cial leaders took everything into their own
hands, spent money lavishly to keep brains
back from access to the president, and so
enjoyed his favors to the full.
Miss Cleveland will not be run over by
society. Although she is only a presi-
dents sister, she has power and she is just
the one to use it, but wisely, kindly and
Justly. She had an understanding with the
president before coming here. 1t was def
mite and business-like. The favor was
largely from her to him. TIE petty ques-
ton of allowance to meet the demands of
dress and entertainment were as nothing,
but the question of who should be social
m aster of Washington was not overlooked
The new mistress of the White house told
her brother what she thought her rights
should be. and she came to the White house
with his full assent to them

Opening of Navigation.

Word was received yesterday at the St.
Paul & Duluth Office that navigation
throu gh the Straits of Mackinaw may be
said to be thoroughly opened. The steam
barge Silvanus j. Mace passed down at $50
o'clock Tuesday morning, being the first
boat through bound down. This report
will be hailed with delight and will cause
considerable comnotion in marine circles.
A fleet of both steam and sail craft got
away yesterday from Chicago for the straits
The markets for lake tonnage at Duluth for
the next few weeks will be brisk though the
rates will be weak. Over 6, 090,0 900 bushels
of wheat and large lot of lumber is ready
for shipment, and as soon as it commences
to move prospects will be much better for
the railroads running up to that port.

Miss Mathilde Phillips, who had been
engaged to sing the alto part of the quartet,
disappointed the management and her place
was taken by Miss Thurston Of St. Paul at
about six hours notice. 1t would
be manifestly unfair to eriti-
else her performance under
such conditions, but it can be truthfully
said that almost the only fault to be
found with her performance was in the
weakness of her voice.
Miss Phillips absence necessitated the
cutting of two numbers of the program,
which was not SO unfortunate, as it was
plenty long enough.
The second concert will be given tonight,
in which the soloists will be Whitney,
Pappenheim and Fritsch. A most excellent
program has been prepared, including
Beethoven's famous 'sLenOre" overture,

was also received from Gilbert Donaldson,
who agreed to dispose of night soil and gar
bage for the term of twenty-five years. The
terms were: Manure, 81 per ton; night
soil, S37. SO per day, providing the accum,l-
Iations do not exceed fifteen tons per day.
Similar bids were received from w. c.
Smith and A. Delaney, all of which were
laid on the table.

for the construction of the same.
The health officer was authorized to en-
ploy veterinary surgeon when necessary.

ceived by the Local Posts.
The two local posts of the Grand Army
of the Republic gathered at the hall of
Acl1er post last evening to welcome Grand
Commander John S. Kountz of Toledo, ac-
companied by Judge Advocate General D.
r. Austin of the same city. There were
present comrades from the army posts of
ST. Paul, Minneapolis and other cities of
the state. Commander KOuntz is on his re-
turn from visit to the Northwestern states
and California, in which latter state he was
presented with magnificent gold badge of
elaborate design, set with so diamonds and
of the value of 81, 500.
DEPARTMENT COMMANDER BEECHER
presided and introduced the grand COM
mander in neat speech. The latter on
rising was received with great applause
He spoke of the kindly greetings he had re-
ceived from the organization on his visit to
the Pacific coast and Oh the return through
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. He spoke
of its growth and principles, it now num-
bering 10000 veterans. The brilliant
record which its membership had achieved
in the salvation of the nation made it the
grandest civic organization on the earth.
The friendships formed in the camp and
battlefield had rivited its members
together in ties stronger than life.
He paid a feeling tribute to the brave men
gone to glory from the field, camp and hos
pital, and those older soldiers who are fast
going there.
GEN. LEASURE
was called upon and spoke of the kindling
blaze in the eyes of the sOldiery when OH
the eve of battle. 1t was not jolly time,
but solemn one with these soldiers who
thus devoted their lives to their country.
The time will come in this land when men
and women will count their nobility to have
descended from men who fought in the late
war, and when they will exclailn with
pride: ''My father fought in the battles
which preserved Americas freed0m!"
JUDGE ADVOCATE AUSTIN
said it was serious business with the Union
soldier from the time he left his home all
the way to the end. Those that survived
priced the time spent in suppressing rebel
lion and preserving the integrity of the
flag and the nation more than all the rest of
their lives What made this organization
the grandest that ever existed was that
while other great civil organizations com
memorated those who had passed away for
ages. this represented its own deeds. No
man becoming acquainted with the Grand
Army of the Republic records and friend
ships but, if he was living at the time of
the war, began to apologize that he did not
take part in it. Society and wealth cannot
gain membership in the Grand Army of the
Republic, and not soldier who wears its
badge would change it for all the wealth of
Minnesota.
The great body polite does not appreciate

City Council.

The regular meeting of the city council
was held on Tuesday evening, with all the
members present except Aid. Nelson, Presi-
dent Bronson in the chair. Licenses were
granted to Messrs. Guse, Steffen & Lustig,
Booming and Becker for liquor or pool
tables
A report was received from the fire COM
mittee, relative to purchasing team for the
engine costing $500 and selling the old
team. Report adopted.
Fire limits, Oh motion, were extended as
follows: Main, south to Pine, and north
from Commercial avenue along Second,
both sides, to Linden, east on Linden to
Main, south on Main to Mulberry, and Oh
Mulberry east to the lake. The northern
extension caused a goodly amount of dis
cussion.
A license was granted to the Grand opera
house on the same terms as formerly, and
one reason for the license being so low was
that the taxes paid by the block, besides
those doing business on the ground floor,
has averaged 5000 yearly to the city,. This
in itself is rather high license.
Fire insurance was renewed on all the city
property ON which the policies had lapsed.

trade composed of Messrs. Deragisch. Doe
and Schupp, and also Hon. E. W. Durant,
appeared before the council to advocate a
Typographical survey to be made of this sec
ton, showing profiles and grades, so as to
give information to the various railways
that are pushing from the East to the West
and to show to them that the cry that Still
water is inaccessible is all a myth so far as
railways are concerned. The various gen
tlemen addressed the council, who decided
to hold special meeting on Monday to
discuss this matter. Besides the FreepOrt
road there is the Minneapolis, Sault st.
Marie & Atlantic road, which will find a
better grade to come this way via Apple
river than by any other route. Mr.. Castle

~ Niger creek had already been surveyed
with a grade of only forty-four feet All
commended that through the Wisconsin Cen

Myrtle street. There was quite a number
of bids, but that of O;Neal Bros. was the
lowest 1917 cents, although another was
