SERGT. G. r. HILL.

Charles R. Hill is not without that pro-
clivity common to mankind. He has his
little aspirations, but perhaps not ''vaulting
ambition which o'erleaps itself" Yet it
must be confessed that he is ambitious.
He is, furthermore, not without myriad
of friends who are ready and willing to ex-
tend to him a helping hand, who are willing
to give him boost toward the proud
pinnacle upon which his heart has been set.
To have the magical word Captain" prefix
his name, and to have it emblazoned in
glittering letters Of gold on his cap would
be to him like crown of glory. And those
who know him. who are familiar with his
characteristics as well as his qualities of
merit, are of the opinion that the word
Captain" would become the man, as would
the man become the captaincy. His friends
and associates call him Charley"
Familiarity, and he has no distaste
for the familiarity either. Charley
is the personifcation of military discipline,
and to see him walking the streets in the
discharge of his official duties, stranger
involuntarily remarks, ''What model SOL
dier!" Yes, Charley has been soldier boy,
and that was his school of discipline He
may fail in reaching the Office of captain,
but he is morally certain of promotion.
His rank may read lieutenant" however.

LIEUT.. PATRICK DAILY.

There are many officials who do not wear
their honor with that degree of grace and
dignity which characterizes Lieut.. Patrick
DAILY. He was to the manor born. Meek
and dutiful as patrolman, Mayor Ames
approaching his capabilities, advanced him
to the rank of lieutenant. and when G. A.
Pillsbury succeeded to the municipal throne
he consulted 1.-THE wisesmen Of his tribe"
and reappointment followed as naturally
as chestnuts fall after the first autumnal
frost. And recently the mayor took occa-
sion to remark that he never had occasion
to regret the action. The lieutenant is not
only of an aspiring nature, but he is lover
OF the good things which contribute to
make life enjoyable. Although proud and
ambitious ne is predisposed to fairness and
invariably treats rival with respect and
kind consideration. That the mayor ''sets
a heap by him" there is not shadow of a
doubt. Few come nearer his honors ideal
official. He is the ranking lieutenant and
all things being equal will receive the boon
which has charm in the eyes of not a few
members of the department..

Joe" Ellis is not only bright and prom
Using young man, but he is a handsome
fellow, withal. So the ladies say, and the
ladies are pre- eminently the most reliable
judges of beauty. Joe" is young yet, and
he realizes the fact, and consequently don't
want much until he arrives at more mature
years. Yet he does want the police clerk
ship, and who can blame him? He
is capable and he is relia-
ble. Moreover, he has influential
friends who are bestirring themselves to the
end of gratifying his hearts desire in this
particular. His friends have had audience
with the mayor. and why shonld he not
feel certain degree of confidence in final
triumph? There is no doubt visible to
"Joes" horoscope on the horizon of his
prospects. He is free to acknowledge that
his is arrayed against several formidable
competitors, but he is sanguine of his fleet
ness. and feels certain that he will distance
them in the race. 1t is no breach of conf
dence to say that an array of aldermanic
influence stands behind his undertaking.
Joe is no sluggard. and when the favorable
moment comes he will buckle on his armor,
hang his banner on the outer walls and
shout: up, lancers, and at them!"
Joe Maunix is not the slowest starter in
the race for police clerkship. He never has
tasted the sweets of office, and this partic-
ular position in the municipal government
has an enchanting charm for him. If it be
a folly for him to lay down his Faber to par
ticipate in regulating the city government,
surely it is pardonable folly. If he is
successful, it would be all sufficient to
promise that he will make as good a clerk
as he does newspaper man. However,
he is not liable to resign his
present position for time, in view Of the
recent love-feast agreement entered into by
the mayor and the present incumbent, whom
the mayor believes innocent, yet whom he
thinks should go, the agreement being to
the effect that Ed Stevens shall continue to
draw his salary throughout the year 1885.
''Joe'' is backed in his aim by hosts of
prominent citizens, and citizens who stand

Coroner,s Inquest.

An inquest was begun yesterday after
noon by Coroner Hill, in the case of Henry
Ewald, killed by the cars on Monday. The
evidence taken showed that the deceased
had poor eye-sight and that he drove upon
the Omaha tracks at the Lyndale crossing
as passenger train was approaching. A
man seeing the danger shouted to him to
look out and Ewald whipped up his horses
but the train collided with the rear of the cart
throwing him to the tracks. Two witnesses
testified that Ewald could not have seen the
approaching train owing to line of box
cars standing on side track, and another
stated that sign is posted at the crossing
to the effect that it is not public crossing.
The inquest will be resumed at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

of Fellow Officers.

The following card was received from
Capt. NJ. q. Chase last evening:
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 90, 1885.
So much has already been said in the papers
that consider it but just to myself to add a
word. For six years l have served the city
as a police officer, as faithfully as l have
known how to do, never asking the question
whether it was my hour for duty or not, but
holding myself in readiness day and night to
do any work required of me. l have never
been suspended or reprimanded in the time,
nor have | ever asked or received vacation
OF any time or leave of absence. have been
aware that every time / made an arrest or
raided an unlawful place | have made an
enemy, but l have expected the city to pro-
tect me in doing my duty. The tissue Of lies
that has been made public requires public
denial, and l take this opportunity to deny it
as a whole and to say that l have never ap-
propriatedsa dollar that was not honestly
mine. hor have l ever disobeyed the orders,
or even the wishes of my superior officers.
Ex-Mayor Rand was one of my kindest
friends, just and true, whose memory
l revere. EX-Mayor Ames has always
used me like gentleman, and l am sure
does not believe me capable of the baseness
imputed to me, while his honor Mayor Pills
bury l have the greatest respect for. There
has been great deal said, but l know him to
be an upright, true gentleman, only doing
the best good of the city. John West as SER
geant, as captain and as chief 1 have alwa,s
liked, and / regard him as true friend, fill
ing his Office with ability and energy, and
always with fairness. l might mention a
dozen others, but l have no need. 1t has
been said that resigning shows guilt, but l do
not so consider it. l have no desire to retain
the position for which the higher officials
deem me unified. My chief regret arises
from the fact that my character as man and
us an officer has been so blackened and ma
lgned. The officers of the force have become
greatly endeared TO me, and l take this OPP
portunity to thank them for their expressions
Of sympathy and esteem. NJ. G. CHASE.

falls. Its hair and drapery seemed to
mingle with the water as it glided across,
and just as it reached the further side 1t
paused, and, with mournful look that
seemed to pierce his very marrow, slowly
disappeared over the cataract. A
motor conductor says he has
several times been rewarded with sight OF
the apparition. always just in the gioamng
when he could barely distinguish it from
the shrubbery against which it was outlined.
At first he thought it was the spray and
mist of the falls, but second look con-
vineed him it was genuine spook. To
him it seemed to be the figure of an attenu-
ated old man, wrapped in toga. 1t had a
long white beard and reminded him of a
picture he had seen of the Erl King, except
that one arm was appraised and skinny
finger was pointed aloft with menacing
gesture Still another man, this one a
druggist, knew of the ghost, but upon cross
examination admitted he had never seen ii,
but the operator down there told him of it,
and the form it took was that of an old man
whose hOary locks were dabbled with blood.
The spiritualists having held no seance
there, these apparitions are unaccountable.
Whether the vision is the lonely spirit of
THAT loveliest of Dacotah women" the
dubious Laughing Water, or whether it is
the wrath of one of the slaughtered blind
pigs, an evening vigil at the poles, by some
brave man, must determine.

CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE GLOBE.
A Lad of Fifteen Who is Rich With
Experience.


When the through-train from Portland
on the Northern Pacific pulled into the
union depot yesterday morning, a slender
athletic looking lad, with Sun-tanned checks,
was one of the first to step from the plat
form and inquire the way to the ST. Louis
depot. He carried letter addressed to S.
F. Boyd, general passenger agent, which
he never presented but which gave a
GLOBE reporter clue to very interesting
story. The boys name is Wilfred Duval,
and his home is Port Jervis, n. j., though
for two years and four months he has not
seen it or heard from his parents, who re-
side there. About the middle of August,
1888, he went to New York city on visit
and while there, inspired by certain lurid
stories and his own love of adventure, de-
ternined to run away to sea. He got
aboard the bark OrinOco, bound for Liver
pool, with cargo of wheat and other
bread-stuffs, and secreted himself until the
rolling of the vessel told he was at sea-
The captain, after severe thraShing, put
him to work as assistant to the cook. and in
this capacity he remained until England
was reached. He stole away at Liverpool
and got to London, where he endeavored to
ship for New York, one trip having cured
him of all adventurous propensitieS. Fail
ing in this. he again played the stowaway.
but was Mortified to find. when out at sea,
that he was aboard an Indiaman, bound for
Calcutta with Cape Town for its first port.
There was no alternative and he went to
Calcutta andEthence, on P. & o. steamer,
to Sidney. Finally he reached Santiago in
Chill and then, after over two years of
wandering, reached San Francisco. He is
now losing no time in getting back to Port
Jervis, being naturally very anxious to see
his family. He left for Chicago by the
Albert Lea route. in the afternoon.

afternoon and his examination was set for
next Wednesday, and in default Of $500
bonds he was remanded.
The prisoner is fine-looking young man
of about 25 years, and has not the appear
ance of criminal or of man who would
knowingly do wrong. He is grief
stricken, and at the city lookup gave full
vent to his feelings. He confesses having
taken the money. He came to Minneap-
was arraigned in the municipal court in the
oils from Canada little over month ago,
and upon recommendations of responsible
parties he secured employmentin the bazaar.
The money taken was placed in his hands
to deposit in the bank, and instead of doing
as directed he took the first train for Chi
cago where he fell in with crowd of
free-and-easy friends, and when arrested
by detective the $3.50 had all been spent
He readily confesses his guilt, but AYERS
that it was his first sin.
Thieps detective agency is to be credited
with the arrest.

solid with the administration. He was a
"Pillsbury man" in the mayoraltY cam
paign, and that gives him prestige at the
start. Joe is an athlete. and if he cannot
run well, he will wrestle the best man for
the position.
CHARLEY HARRIS
should not be forgotten. He entered the
race somewhat late, but he has put in his
entrance fee and is, according to track rules,
entitled to start. His harness is beautifully
decorated with ''blue ribbons" He has
gone into active training and is dieting on
aqua pura and beef tea. Charley's muscu-
lar developments are far superior to the field
of competitors. He weighs $50 pounds in
condition, while the others weigh only
from 140 to 100. In other words, he is a
heavyweight, while the others are middle
and light-weights. But often agility more
than makes up for real strength. And.
again, in all modern races ''jockeying'' is
resorted to and not without effect. There
fore the most sagacious may pass under the
wire first.
There is somewhere about the city hall
building a low. small voice whispering
MCCARTHY" The mayor has thus far, it is
rumored, turned deaf ear to the impor-
tunings OF such remote whisperings.
Mccarthy once distinguished himself as
Col. Kings private secretary. and it was
then that he displayed penchant for letter
writing for the press. And it was in that
capacity that he got himself into trouble.
Roger Vail met him in the arena and
knocked him out in one round. There are
others who have turned their weather eye
toward the Office but they have no more
show of winning than poor Mccarthy has.
''You can announce that the mayor will
have to appoint twenty-one new patrolmen
soon, said Jailor Needham to the reporter.
''There are just twenty-one policemen who
feel as certain that they are going to receive
sergeant appointments as feel sure of my
supper tonight" And Needham was right
There are many aspirants to the offices.
There are two to be appointed-one to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the discharge of
S. A. Kirkham, and the other on account of
the promotion of Sergt. Hill.

band From False Arms.

band From False Arms.
Shortly after midnight yesterday morning
a gentleman with a lady on each arm walked
down Nicollet avenue. The man wore a
silk hat, had full dark beard and was en-
veloped in handsome topcoat edged with
fur. The ladies were apparently well bred
and wore their fine clothing and diamonds
with that easy air that bespeaks breeding
and refinement. The trio chatted gaily as
they reached Fourth street and turned
across the avenue. At that moment close
carriage, driven by coachman in livery,
dashed up and stopped on the crossing. The
door flew open and a handsome young
woman in long seal-skin wrap Sprang out
and confronted the trio, eXclaiming passion
ately:
You shameless thingsI What are you
doing with this man? He is my husband. J"
The gay laughter of the two ladies
ceased and they involuntarily dropped
their affectionate grasp of their
companions arms in the blaze
of indignant light which shone from the
young wife's eyes. She bent her gaze on
her dt> elict husband and exclaimed passion
ately: oh! Will Will! How could you,
when You know our Nellie may die at any
moment" Without word he moved for
ward and buried himself in the recesses OF
the carriage. The wife heSitated. and then
turning imperiously to the two deserted la

go, you base things! Why don't YOU
go? Don't stand there, do you hear me?"
The ladies turned away and the wife.
with word to the coachman, flung her
self into the carriage, which was driven
rapidly out Nicollet until lost in the night.
The two women hurried down the avenue,
hailed carriage near Third street and
were quickly driven north on that street.

patrolman who witnessed the scene said

come up:
