ton.
ST. JOHNS, N. F.. July 26.-Further
particulars of the distress among the fisher
men of Labrador have been received. The
seventy Esquimaux who demanded food
from the stores at Mugford, which could
not be given them owing to the needs of
the inhabitants and the small supply. made
a rush for the harbor storehouse, where the
flour and fish were stored. The men of the
small settlement gathered to defend their
only hope of existence, and desperate
fight ensued, in which four of the maraud-
ing EsquimauX were nearly killed, and two
of the storehouse defenders were seriously
injured. The EsquimauX, finding that they
could not obtain the stores by
force, ret1eated and sent in several
of their number to ask for a
small quantity of food. which they said was
absolutely necessary to the continued ex-
i,tence of their wives and children. Three
hundred pounds of -four and about fifty
hounds of frozen cod were given to them
Is was reported that in Astoria alone, out
of thirty-tive or fifty families. or total of
200 persons, over 100 had died, mostly all
women and children. In Main the catch
of fish has not been sufficient to afford food
to the inhabitants. The season which
opened On May was very backward, and
had it not been for the seal industry, which
was tolerably good not a soul would be
living. Along Hamilton inlet and Sand

THAT MARRIAGE
Which is Causing Such a COmmo-
tiOn..HoW the Case Stands

Which is Causing Such a COmmo-
tion--How the Case Stands.
John Cummins, the negro who married
Julia Lydon, was yesterday arraigned in
the municipal court upon the charge that
he had committed perjury in swearing that
the girl was IS years old when he obtained
the marriage license. He pleaded not
guilty, and his examination was set for to-
day. In default of 81, 600 he was remanded
to jail.
The girls mother secured an order from
the court committing her daughter to the
House of Good Shepherd. Before she left
the court room, however, she was SUBJ
pgned as witness by Cummins' attorney,
and was taken back to the lookup
to await the trial. The section
of the penal code under which the COM
plant against Cummins is made is very
stringent, and by its provisions he can be
committed to the penitentiary if proven
guilty. There seems to be little prospect
of making case against him that will hold
him to the grand jury. The girl being his
wife cannot testify either for or against
him. He swears she told him she was
eighteen, and her appearance would indi-
cate that she was at least as old as that al
though her parents say that she is but four
teen years old. From statements made by
the girl it appears that Cummins first Sc
duced her under the promise of marriage
and next day obtained the license. She adj
mits that she told him she was eighteen.

PRAISE, INDEED.
What minneapolis Has Done and
Will slO Under Mayor Ames.


Will DO Under Mayor Anes.
The Journal is very bright, clever
paper, spicy, well edited and readable. and
very inconsistent and contemplate, when
it comes to politics. The Journal made a
great parade over the morality concealed
beneath the fact that it was not published
on Sunday, and yet it made itself a
directory of and painted, in gorgeous and
glowing colors, the haunts of sin in the
city. 1t has made repeated assaults-ante-
election assaults and pOSt-electiOn assaults
on Mayor Ames, declaring his election
would mean, and (since election) has
meant the downfall of the city of Mime
apols. 1t has pitched its crank at dole
full key, and sung of the backward steps
Minneapolis had taken and would take
under Mayor Ames. Now it confesses this
was all partisan spleen and political false
hood, for it tells of the glories OF Mime
apolis in the following editorial paragraph,
which appeared last evening:
An increase of over 4S per cent. in the bank
clearngs of Minneapolis for last week COM
pared with the corresponding week of 1885;
nearly double the number and twice the
amount involved IN the real estate transac-
lions of the past week compared with the cor
responding week of 1885, and nearly double
the number OF permits and nearly double the
amount involved in the uilding record of last
week compared with the corresponding Pc
riod of 1885, are encouraging facts about busi-
ness which show that the metropolis Of the
Northwest is still maintaining her splendid
lead as the most progressive and vigorous
city in the Union.
If the files of the GLOBE are consulted it
will be found that in the spring campaign
the GLOBE predicted all that the Journal
says has come to pass. This was evident.
1t was in 1882 and 1888 that, under Mayor
Ames Minneapolis made its greatest strides
and those strides will only be surpassed by
Minneapolis under Mayor Ames in 1886 and
1897

EXTRA WATER RATES.
May Compel the Mills ca the Fall
to Change Location.

TO Change Location.
Last Friday morning the GLOBE init
mated there would be no more lumber cut
at the falls, after this years saving was
over. This is the result of a supreme court
decision of a suit brought by the st. An
thony Water Power company against the
five lumber firms operating on the falls.
1t was claimed they were using much more
than the stipulated amount OF water and
when j. J. Hill discovered this. an action
was begun to recover the extra amount of
rent claimed to be due. The case went to
the court of appeals and was there decided
in favor of the plaintiff. 1t was claimed
by the lumbermen that to pay the rate
would be to run the mills at a heavy loss.
The John Martin Lumber company says it
will sell out cheap and quit the falls, as lit
cannot afford to pay for three times as
much water as it uses," Merriman, Bar
rows & Co. say they will be compelled to
shut down if they have to pay this rent.
They say they lost $4,000 last year, as it
was.
The five mills at the falls are among the
largest in the city, each having capacity
of about $50, 600 feet of lumber and 5000
to 25, 600 lath and shingles per day of ten
hours. 1t is not probable, however, that
even should they be compelled to change,
they will go out of business. They may
put in steam plants as the seventeen other
mills have,

MORE STREETS TO BLAZE
During the sition--Late Notes
of the Big Show.

The plan to illuminate Nicollet avenue
during the Exposition and the success it is
meeting have proved contagious. Other
avenues have caught the infection, and it
is now assured Nicoliet avenue will not be
alone in its brilliance. Jacob Barge con-
ceived the idea that Washington would look
we'll under the cololed globes, and he, with
Knoblanch, the shoe man, and Winter, the
jeweler. got up a committee to canvass the
double block between Nicollet and First
avenues. In one day they listed every man
on the south side and are now working on
the other, with every prospect of not miss
ing man. 1t is certain to say the arch
will go up on Washington. Let the good
work go on.
The Nieollet Avenue association met
yesterday afternoon to open bids for the
construction of the arches, but a slight
technicality made it necessary to send them
back. Mr.. Regain says there is not the
slightest doubt of the ultimate success of
the plan, as far as Nicolet avenue is con-
cerned. and 1.-THE six blocks will glitter
with all the radiance of the sum-"
Col. Hubbard yesterday returned from
Iowa, where he had gone to look up some
exhibits. He says every crossroads in the
section he visited will send an excursion to
| the big show.
An idea of the rush for space may be
given when it is said there are now on file
applications for 25 per cent more space
than there is space in the building. An
annex will be the next thing in order.
The open space below the terrace will be
used for pyrotectic displays. 1t is pro-
posed to put in rough seats to accommodate
TO-, 600 people and charge nominal fee for
their use. For the reserved seats on the
mill opposite there will be no charge.
The works of art still slumber in their
! cases and will remain there until everything
is ready for setting them up.
| James G. Blaine does not exhibit polite
alacrity in answering the invitation to open
the Exposition. 1t is too long until the
national campaign begins.
The work of glazing the building has
begun and is rapidly progressing. 1t gives
an air of finish to the structure.
Flooring has been completed on the Sec
ond and third floors.

AFREAK OF NATURE.
The Mayors Attention Called to a
Curious MalfOrmaIion.

Mayor Ames ran upon a singular case
yesterday afternoon. A cOlored man ap-
piled at his office and asked permission to
wear male or female apparel, as he chose,
saying he was as much man as woman.
He or she, which ever it was. said ''it' had
been doing alternately the work of a man
and woman, wearing the habiliments
proper to each case. Its voice was shrilI
treble and there was merely an indication
of beard. nothing more. TO avoid arrest
it wanted permission to wear woman's ap-
pare1. His honor was at once interested
and sunk the official in the
physician, taking the stranger to
his Office. An examination revealed
the colOred person was not
a hermaphrodite, but was absolutely with
out sex. From the waist up it was per-
feet woman, and from the waist down an
imperfect man. The bust was so well de-
Yeloped that he could not conveniently wear
mems clothes, yet his gait told he was a
man. He came here from st. Paul with a
letter from Mayor Rice and stated he had
been engaged as hotel waiter, dishwasher
and at various similar avocations. He had
been married, but his wife had left him
shortly after the ceremony. Mayor Ames
decided he was a man and gave him papers
to that effect.

SIXTH WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB
1t Was Permanently Organized Last
Night at Higgins Hall.

Some forty voters of the Sixth ward
gathered at Higgins hall last evening to
effect permanent organization of the club
organized there some two weeks ago. Sam
uel Bradley was in the chair and William
Gunderson performed the duties of secre-
tary. The room was hot and sitting but
this had no visible effect upon the ardor of
the gentlemen present, among whom were
number of outsiders, who had gathered to
see any fun which might arise. After
being called to order the committee
on constitution and bylaws reported.
Their report was unanimously adopted. The
substance of the constitution is that each
member of the club shall do all he can to
promote the interests of Republicans in
the Sixth ward. The election of perma-
nent officers then ensued, III which the fol-
lowing gentlemen were elected: President,
r. b. Thompson; vice president, Lars
SwenSOn; secretary, Z. NJ. Hall; treasurer,
w. K. Hicks. Some fifteen nominations
were made for the Office of secretary, but
each man nominated seemed an adept at
declining. Frank Mcdonald. who dropped
in to see the fun, was nominated as man
who had never yet refused to accept an
office. Frank said he saw the joke. but
that he could not find time to Eli the po-
siton. Meetings of the club are to be
held the second and fourth Mondays in
| each month.

statement in st. Paul paper that he is an

ANOTHER INSTANCE
Which Proves the Pluck of Minne-
apOlis Women.

Another illustration of the indomitable
pluck of Minneapolis women was furnished
by an East side lady last week. Thursday
afternoon well-dressed man drove slowly
past residence on University avenue. A
couple of comeIy servant girls sitting on
the steps of the porch attracted his atten-
ton. He smiled and bowed with a great
show of politeneSs. A few minutes later
he drove back again, and. this time stopped.
He attempted to strike up a conversation
with the girls, who, not liking his bold
ness. hounced into the house with the re-
mark from one of them that he had lots
of cheek" The fellow didn't relish this
last allusion. and as an insult to
the girls stood up in his buggy and made
an indecent exhibition of his person. The
incident was witnessed by a lady caller who
was sitting in the parlor. She instantly
rushed down the steps and Selling the
