Bull Dog KeIIy,s Case.

Edward Kelly, who was held by United
States Commissioner Ives of Crookston on
the charge of numbering, in November,
1884, Robert McGregor Baird near the Co
lumbia river in British America, and who
was committed to the Ramsey county jail.
was brought before Judge Nelson of the
United States court at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon on a writ of habeaS corpus. The
basis upon which this writ is expected to
rest consists, generally speaking, of the
alleged errors of law on the part of the
commissioner that held the petitioner and
the assumption of jurisdiction by the same
officer. The petitioner is represented by
Senator Stevenson of Polk county and J.
w. Cathcart of st. Paul. while the other
side is represented by Mr.. Congdon, assist
ant United States district attorney, and Mr..
Stewart of the Dominion of Canada.
The counsel for the prisoner argued that
the commission had no authority to act I'M
less specially authorized by the United
States circuit court to hear such an exam
ination; that the eXtradtion treaty must be
pleaded; that the application for the pris-
oner should have been made, first to the
president of the United States government.
and that until that has been done the Judi
ciary cannot take hold of the matter; that
the complaint made by John Lee johnson
was not sufficient, he being not the proper
person to make it, as it is not shown that he
was appointed by the government to make
such complaint and that the defendant was
not allowed to make any defense before the
commissioner on his own behalf. This last
point Judge Nelson considered good, and
the counsel for the Canadian authorities
then admitted that such was the case, and
1.lf l. u,
prisoner be remanded and the case be re-
opened to allow the petitioner to produce
evidence in his own behalf. This, however,
is just what the petitioner does not want.
At this point the hearing was adjourned till
to-day at 10 a. IN.

WHO TOOK THE CAST
Two Opinions of u Peculiar Case in
the Supreme Court.

In the supreme court yesterday two opln-
ions were rendered in the case of the State
VS.. f. B. Wellman. The case i'll question
is a rather peculiar one. Mrs. Wilcox, the
proprietress of a boarding house at Mime
apolis, had the gas meter removed from her
house owing to non-payment of gas bills.
The appellant i'll the case was boarder at
the house, and week after the meter had
been removed he purchased piece of lead
pipe and took it to the house. A month
after this the gas company discovered that
the gas was being burned in the house, and
an investigation showed that connection
had been made without the company's per-
mission. Wellman, who purchased the
pipe, was arrested and arraigned in the
municipal court for larceny of $3.50 worth
of gas. He was convicted, and all appeal
taken to the supreme court On the grounds
that while he bought the pipe brought it to
the house and suggested the scheme to
cheat the gas company, he did not make
the connection, and that gas could not be
made the subject of a larceny. According
to the decision filed, the order of the munic-
ipal court is confirmed. Judge Gilfllan.
however, filed dissenting opinion.

ABogus s.Reyiew.v

The Pioneer Press, with more zeal than
judgment, made an attempt on yesterday to
give to its readers the information con-
tanned in the above. To show how far
from accurate this review" was, it is only
necessary to point out that it was taken
bodily from the list of the mains which the
superintendent recommended to be laid last
year. AS that was only the estimate of
the engineer, and not acted on by the water
board at that time, it is not to be
supposed that it would be accu-
rate, and as matter of fact,
the plan of work has been very much en-
larged since those estimates were made. In
consequence of this fact the Pioneer Press
gives st. Paul the credit of laying but
nineteen and two thirds miles of water-pipe
during the year, when the fact is it laid
within nine feet of twenty-four miles, OF
more than five miles more than the Pioneer
Press gave it credit for. Life is too short
to analyZe the review" and point out its
errors, as every line in the ''review" is an
| error. Many of the mains estimated for
were not touched, many more changed,
and many more added of which
no mention was made. Suffice
it to say that there were 1919 different mains
laid, of which the Pioneer Press hints at ga,
leaving 65 out in the cold, and of the 90
mentioned, fully 60 are erroneous in some
particular.
In the recapitulation occurs character
istic blunder. in which the ST. Anthony
hill service is given four and one-half miles
of new pipe, when the correct number is
within few feet of fifteen miles.
Following is a correct summary of the
figures given above, compared with the bo-
gus summary in the Pioneer Press:

The Itasca club met last evening with
good attendance, John W. Willis in the
chair. as usual. After the opening the
president stated that rule of the club pro-
hibited the attendance of any persons not
members of the organization. Thereupon
the reporters withdrew. Considerable dis
cussion of the propriety of the rule was had,
and a motion to suspend the rule excluding
outsiders having been made, the president
ruled that the motion was out OF order, an
objection to the suspension having been
made by Mr.. Severn. This decision, upon
appeal, was sustained by the club.
The committee appointed to invite Hon.
Ignatius Donnelly to address the club on
the 18th inst, reported that Mr.. DOnnelly'S
engagements were such as to preclude his ac-
ceptance of the invitation, but that he
could deliver an address on the evening OF
the 25th inst. AS the club could not make
arrangements for q meeting on that date,
the committee was Instructed to notify Mr..
Donnelly that his address must be post
poned.

dent Alfred S. Hall TO the chair, INTRODUCED

Mr.. Willis and prevailed.
1t was voted that Hon. Charles E.

of the club to be held at the club-rooms on
