s'Great heaven! Another mill explo-
stomp
-Four reports doomed out on the air ex-
actly at noon yesterday, bringing this ex-
clamation to something less than hundred
pairs of lips. A cloud of blue smoke floated
upward from the corner of First avenue
south and Third street, and Immediately
it began to rain dirt, rock, boards and all
sorts of debris over the vicinity. Pieces of
rock rained down on NicOllet avenue, and
one stone fell on Washington avenue at
Lookup alley. Four or five teams of horses
had been standing near the corner, but when
the explosion occurred they broke furiouSly
in every direction. distributing fragments of
wagons as they went Buildings on the
opposite side of the street shook as with an
earthquake shock, while the west windows
of the johnson, Smith e. Harrison building
looked as though the establishment had
undergone bombardment. In five minutes
a couple of thousand people had gathered
in and about the entrance of the
new government building, whence all the
racket had proceeded. 1t was really
only the explosion of four dynamite cart
ridges in the concrete foundation, as an
nounced in yesterdays GLOBE, but the
work was badly done. -Four holes, four
feet apart, had been drilled, cartridges in
serted and covered with plank, When the
explosion came the planks were lifted
into the street in splinters and shower
of concrete sent about as described, while
the foundation was but little cracked. Two
hundred indignant and excited men were
denouncing the contractor when Chief of
Police West put in an appearance and
ended the blasting performance. Archi-
tect Dennis, in the johnson, Smith & Har-
rison building, was the angriest man in
the Northwest. A piece of rock had
crashed through his window and narrowly
missed his head. He had told the contrac-
tor that'he could not blast that out, and

Cat All Hazards.,,

Hold Hudson at all hazards. I will
come on the first train. He is wanted for
forgery" read telegram received yester
day from Edwin Gillian of Luverne, and
it referred to Harry M. Hudson, now in the
lookup, having been arrested by Detective
Hanldnson Monday night. Soon after the
chief received letter from the same source
giving full description of the man and
explaining that he is wanted in Illinois for
forgery committed some time ago, and that

one would be paid for his capture. The
note furthermore stated that Hudson has

day. The deceased was prosperous
farmer, and was once a member of the
Wisconsin legislature. He leaves four
children, the eldest being c. M. Palmer of
this city.
Inadvertently the GLOBE erred in giving
credit to Detective Quinlan, in relating bit
OF detective work, when it belonged to De-
tective Hankinson. Detective Hankinson
does his work in such quiet way that the
public seldom becomes acquainted with his
I always clever and efficient services in the
detective department.
| Early yesterday morning, as Jailer
Needham was making the rounds of the
cells in the city lookup, he discovered that
John IsaacsOn, who was under arrest for
vagrancy, was hanging suspended by the
neck from his cell door by a strap. The
jailer cut him down in time to prevent sui
eide. He is evidently insane.
At special meeting of the Lumber
mems exchange last evening the necessity
of having some one look after the scattering
logs in the river was discussed, and MeSsrs.
Brown, Bray and Bassett were appointed a
committee to secure a man to do this work
and report at another meeting to be held
Thursday evening.
The lady's gold pin mentioned in yester-
days GLOBE, held by Detective Caswell,
has been identified as portion Of the booty
stolen from Mr.. Eastman's house, No. 619
Fourth avenue south. on the night OF the
9th. The pin was found in the possession
of one Of the three crooks arrested by Sergt.
Helm last Sunday night. This adds another
link to the chain.
Marriage licenses were yes terday issued
to the following: Peter Hanson and ANA
list MartinSOn, Anthony j. Kelly and Ellen
Quirk, John E. Metstrand and Annie M.
Anderson, Arnt Dragseth and Julia Olson,
Hugh Byrnes and Ella Stage, Benjamin L.
Tompkins and Mary c. Mills, John G.

Carroll and Ellen A. Doody.
At a special meeting yesterday morning
the county commissioners opened bids for
the building of new bridge in the town Of
Bloomington, over the ''Nine-mile creek"
on the Minneapolis & Shakopee road. The
award was let to G. p. Jones, who repre-
sents the Wrought Iron Bridge company of
Canton, o., in the sum of 81 $50. This
bridge will be sixty feet long, with iron
piers.
J. P. Butler, deputy United States mar
shal arrived n.the city from Bloomington,
ILL.,, last evening, after Hudson. He stated
to GLOBE reporter that Hudson has been
wanted for some time. He forged a note
for some three hundred dollars in Lafay-
cite, Ind, and since then has been followed
to various points in the West, but Detective
Hankinson was the first officer to lay hands
on him. The deputy will leave to-day with
the prisoner for Bloomington, where Hud

Pest House burned.

Chief Engineer Stetson in pursuance of
the instructions given him by the council,
visited Prospect park yesterday and de-
stroyed the old pest house. The new build
ing, however, still remains, but will proba-
bly, 60 up in smoke as soon as it can be va
Gated. A family now occupies it. When
patients were first guaranteed they were
confined in the old building, but as soon as
they were convalescing they we're re-

there is clamor to make complete thing
of it, Said one spirited Third warder, ''Pll

burned" and he will doubtless keep his

THE CAR ACCOUNTANTS.
The First Day of the Tenth Annuai
Convention.

The car accountants, refreshed by
night rest went into convention yester-
day morning in the ladies' ordinary at the
West hotel. Taken as a body, the per-
sonnet of the accountants is decidedly good,
and of all the numerous conventions, meet
ings and reunions that have been held in
Minneapolis. none have ever presented a
more intelligent OF better appearing set OF
men. Their ages range from so to 40 years,
as general thing, so there is a good deal of
fun lying around loose in the party. In
their meetings they exhibit an interest
which amounts to ''dead earnestnesS. and
their discussions are carried On with great
deal of gusto, so that not little humor
crops out. One of the rules is that no one
shall leave the room without leave from the
chair. and it was noticeable that there were
very few violations of the rules.

after the explosion he loaded 10-calibre
shot gun with slugs and awaited further de-
velopments. There will be no more eXplO-
sions of that character, property owners
having threatened the contractor with all
the terrors of the law if the experiment is
repeated. A drill and Disqualification
will now complete the work of removing
the concrete foundation.

Charged With Selling MOrtgaged
Horses.

Some time ago young man named
Edward Abrahamson sold a pair of horses
to an acquaintance named August Engman.
About two weeks ago it came to the knowl-
edge of the latter that the property had
been mortgaged by Abrahamson to E. r.
Mackey of New York for $170. This was
given to secure a part Of the purchase
money. Marcus P. Hayne, representing
Mr.. Mackey, called upon MI. Engman, and
threatening to foreclose the mortgage, re-
ceived from him portion of the money.
Yesterday Engman swore out a warrant
upon which Abrahamson was arrested.
Being arraigned in the municipal court, he
waived an examination and was remanded
in default of bail to await the next session
of the grand iury.

one case remains in which prisoner in

The Real Test.

II is timely reminder which is attributed
TO Senator Edmunds-his suggestion that this
Is going to be Democratic administration"
The saying is one which Republicans need to
bear in mind in their criticism Of President
Cleveland. No matter how sincerely Mr.
Cleveland believes in civil-service reform, no
matter how much in earnest he may be in
meaning to give the country reform" adj
ministration, he will put Democrats in all lead
ing places, and as the terms Of Republican
ofice'ho expire their places will be filed
with Democrats, unless in here and there an
instance some special reason exists why the
Republican incumbent should be retained. 1t
Is not only according to the memorable logic
Of events that this should be so, il is politically
right and proper that it should be so. For
the President to neglect or refuse to put DEM
ocrats in vacant offices would be for him to adj
NIT that his own party does not afford men fit
to fill them. Between making division Of
the offices between the two parties in this
gradual way and making clean sweep by
removals there is the same difference that
there is between order and chaos.
The real test of the character aud purpose
Of Mr.. Cleveland's administration will not
come in a month or year. 1t will only come
after time enough has elapsed to show wheth.
err he appoints men to office on the basis of
competency and efficiency, or whether be APP
points them because they have been good pc.
litical workers, and because they can be de-
pended on to use their offices to keep the
Democratic party in power.
Republicans can we'll afford to wait with
patience for the real policy of the administra-
ton to develop, and to be fair. minded in their
criticism. 1t is for us who have been rele-
gated to the ranks of the opposition and Civ
en- the Office Of critics to remember that Mr..
Cleveland was elected 10 give the country a
Democratic administration, and then to Judge
his actions on that basis. Captious, micro
scopc criticism is beneath the dignity of
honorable men. In the end Mr.. Cleveland's
sincerity and the success of his administration
will not be judged by the question whether he
has put more or less Democrats in Office. The
main question will be whether he has let his
administration be run as a political machine.
