There seems to be some foundation
for the superstition that It is unlucky
to be one OF the social party of thirteen.
The Lancet and Clinic quotes Quetelet
as saying that, taking thirteen persons
of different ages. the probabilities are
that one death will occur among them
within the year. OF course the circnm-
stance is likely to take place whether
the thirteen persons meet together or
not.

sLUGGlNG AT MARKET HALL.
st. Paul Boxer Wins in Contest for oints
and Endurance.


A good-siZed crowd assembled at Market
hall last evening, the attractions 5eing a
soaring exhibition given by st. Paul and
Minneapolis experts in the manly art.
The major portion of the evening was
consumed in the usual display of alleged
sparring, predatory to the crowning event of
the exhibition, namely, six-round contest
between Billy Wilson of st. Paul and Hadley
of Pittsburg. Both men were said to be
thirsting for blood and this fight was ar
ranged to settle their rival claims to
superiority.
Mr.. Chatterton was appointed referee by
mutual consent. In brief speech he an
nOunced that the two men were there to
ascertain by the aid of hard gloves which was
the better man, but that owing to the inter
ference of the CITY authorities the program
had been changed and the contest was 10 be
simply with soft gloves for points and en-
durance."
As the two athletes faced each other in
readiness for the call of 'tlme,n it appeared
to the audience as If Wilson stood no shov
with his opponent on account of the latter's
superior he. bit an larger physique. More
expert judges, however, could per i've that

DAKOTA.

Goo. Pierce VIII 4c. for the Common Good.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK March 21.-Goy. Pierce was
asked to-day what he thought as to the prob
ability of Democrat being appointed in his
stead. He said he had given the subject no
consideration. He had not sought the as
sistance of friends to maintain his position,
nor did he expect to do so. He should do
his whole duty while occupying the position,
and not be influenced by the prejudice en-
tertained by individuals or localities or by
fear of removal.
Said the interviewer: "But do you not
know that South Dakota interests are seeking
to accomplish your removal because of your
veto of the capital removal bill?"
THAT is quite NATURAL" he replied, "and
Bismarck would doubtless have sought to
punish me if l had approved. l know of no
way to dispose of the perplexing questions
except to disregard everything but the right.
That l have endeavored to do in my treat
ment of this matter.''
''Shall you move your Office down town?"
~ do not think it wise to fit up new offices
for the present, at least. My successor can
of course use his pleasure and keep his office
in the capitol or down town as ne may choose,
or have his headquarters at some other point.
The day is coming when broader views will
be introduced. Pierre, in my judgment,
will De great city because of its geographic
cal location, whether it becomes the capital
OF Dakota Or not. l am of the opinion that
Dakota will be divided, and that the greatest
good can be accom- lished for Dakota if the
two sections work together tremendously for
the common good. In many ways the capital
is a disadvantage to any locality. Yankton
is better off without it and Bismarck surely
has rcaped only disadvantage from it,"
sit is reported that you intend to order
the northern coDvicts at Sioux Fails to the
prison at Bismarck, when the latter is con
structed."
81 shall try to carry out the intent of the
legislature. Such prisoners at Sioux Falls as
the judges think ought to be confined in I
reform school will be ordered to Bismarck.
1t is not the intention to make other changes
unless necessity requires it."

JOHN WILLIS AND DICK BELL.
A Question of Access to the Vaults in the Dis
trict Clerks Office.

A Question of Access to the Vaults in the Dis
trict Clerks Office.
Yesterday afternoon at 3 O'Clock Judge
Brill heard the complaint of John W. Willis,
an attorney, against Richard W, Bell, clerk
of the district court. The complaint alleged
that it has been the custom from time in
memorial to admit attorneys to the vaults
and records of the clerks Office without re-
strction; such valuable privileges had been
enjoyed by complainant since September,
1877, until recently. when said cler- wrong
from Such rights and threatened
him with personal violence in
case he attempted 10 enter the
vaults; whereupon petitioner reques.ed the
court to allow him free entrance at all times
during proper Office hours. Upon this cor
plant Judge Brill ordered the clerk to show
cause why said attorney should not have
unrestricted access to said vaults and
records, and upon hearing decided that Mr..
Willis should have access to TIE records. but
If it was rule of Mr. Bells Office that no
one should pass the railing of his office into
the vaults said attorney should be governed
accordingly.
WI. DtAA ktaAuNh ~ q hl.PbE &c pa ttA tilaN
the animus of this proceeding was in the
fact that he insisted upon governing his
Office according to his own system; that not
being under the jurisdiction of any of the
attorneys he declined to be dictated to by Mr.
Willis, who had made himself obnoxious by
seeking to govern the business of the office
after his own ideas. Mr.. Bell had never re-
fused him access to the r-corls, but he bad
forbidden him to enter the compartment
rallied of for his (Mr. Belfs) assistants, and
would not allow him to enter the vaults. At
anv time Mr.. Willis was free to examine the
records in his office, but he must cOniue
himself to that portion Of the clerks Office
which was allotted 10 those who came in to
transact business. II was 4 standing rule
that none but attaches should be allowed be-
hind the wire partition.
Mr. Willis wss busy with 4 divorce case.
but his assistant was heard To remark that
the decision WAS just what they wanted; that
it left them al liberty 10 visit the vaults at
pleasure. and altogether they were quite jub-
liant. according to the young man.
As the matter is generally understood the
decree does not accord this privilege. It
merely saws he shall be accorded the access
to the records which other attorneys have
which access has never been denied-aud
adds that If the rule OF the Office is no adsit-
lance to the vaults the rule can be enforced.

The letter made eight pages, and the secre-
tary also forwarded copies of the reports of
all the executive officers of the state, to-
gether with the governors message and the
immigration pamphlet. The European gov
ernments are seeming to take great interest
recently in the development of the North
west, and are evidently closely studying the
influence it will have upon their own coun-
tries.
The secretary has also received letter
from John Patton 81 Co., agents of the Amer
lean Land and Colonization company at New
York, asking for a supply of immigration
pamphlets. This company is largely inter
ested in lands in Pipestone county, and is
making strong efforts to settle them with
Scotch emigrants and it thinks the book
will be a powerful auxiliary in its bust
ness. The secretary expects to be able to
supply these pamphlets in a short time.

a little over year ago there arrived IN 81
Paul Young man of suave address, pol
ished exterior, and with gift Of CAB that
flowed as smooth and sweet as honey. He
had turned 30, and in outward appearance
he was as clean-cut and natty as one OF the
colored figures on fashion plate. He al
fected the upper tendon of society, and rep
resented himself as Wilbur f. James, the
iuuior member of a wealthy manufacturing
firm of Lacrosse, Wis. He backed up his
claims bv presenting his card as such, and
made assurance doublY sure by presenting
q handsomely engraved and well hlled
check-book bearing the firms signatures.
He said he was about to be married, and that
he wanted, YOU know, to purchase some
thing handsome for his bride, in the way OF
iewelrv or diamonds. Here was soft mark
for the retail dealers of Third street, and they
went for him with the proverbial alacrity OF
a hungry man after hot cakes. He was a
liberal minded sort Of fellow, and in his
brief sojourn of four days he called on
NEARLY EVERY PROMINENT FIRM
in St. Paul, his purchases aggregating over
$1,000. But the story of how this arch
swindIer and fraud went through the
merchants Of Third street is an old
tale and could not be repeated.
After procuring all the diamonds and watches
lie wanted he quietly folded his tent and

Buffalo and other cities, working the same
game quite as successfully.
Among his victims in st. Paul were

doubt soon be brought to this city for trial.

Mr.. Finch was found at his residence on
Washington street last evening by a repre-
sentative Of the GLOBE, to whom Mr.. Finch
said:

ST. PAUL'S TRADE.
What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week.

Have Been Doing the Past Week.
During the week ending to-day there has
been little or no change in financial circles.
Most of our banks have published statements
of their condition within the past few days,
which show them to be in good, sound con-
dition. Discounts remain unchanged, and
exchange on New York is at a slight dis
count.
Real estate continues to be more active if
possible, many strangers arriving and in
curing for operty. The actual transfers
are continually increasing, and prices are
gradually and steadily rising.
The usual activity in wholesale groceries
has not prevailed during the week, orders
ing somewhat backward.
The dry goods business has been very
good large spring trade in all classes of
goods having been done, with satisfactory
collections.
The drug market has been active and pros
poets are brignt Some advances are made
in minor articles aud sales of glass and field
grass seeds are heavy; opium frmer: cream
tartar advancing. The demand for blue
vitriol is large. Paints and oils are very ac-
tive, and trade from all sections is waking
up and coming in very satisfactorily. Clues
are now offered lower than ever before
Wholesale clothing houses have been doing
a satisfactory general trade in spring goods,
the business increasing as the season ad-
vances, collections, however, being a little
slow.
The wholesale hat and cap trade is in
good healthy condition, steady flow of
moderate orders being received daily, and
there is good prospect for profitable sea-
son ahead.
In wholesale boots and shoes fair amount
of orders for general goods have been re-
ceived With improved collections.
Prices of leather continue firm, with fair
demand for harness and otter grades. For
two months past fairly active trade has been
done in heavy iron, large supplies Of nails
and staple goods having been called for.
The hardware trade remains active, all
seasouab,e goods being in good demand and
collections coming in fairly well.
The commission merchants report bust
ness quiet in nearly all country produce,
especially butter, which is very dull.
a fair trade has been done BY the retail
merchants. taking into consideration the
unfavorabl= state of the weather. They are
all ready now for good spring trade which
will doubtless begin before long.
