the statement that he was supported by the

An exceedingly pleasant episode occurred
at S. P. Plummer post G. A. R., last evening
and it was one which Will be remembered by
Master Clarence Delano as long as he lives
He is now only years old, but one of the
most valuable members OF the postdrIll corps,
of which his father is the leader. His phe-
nomenal playing, all sorts of time, ETC., at the
time of the surprise at Mayor Ames' resi-
dence Tuesday night so enlisted the mayors
admiration that last night he visited the post
and with proper ceremonies promoted the
drummer boy to the rank OF brigadier gen.
eral. The shoulder straps indicating the rank
had been placed in position on his coat Pre-
viously he had worn two bars on his straps
Brig. Gen. Delapo at once gracefully assumed
his position and led the corps. He was sedate
and digniied far beyond his years.
Col. Hill reports that he has collected ufor
the city some 81 900 from the houses of ILL
fame under the new method. He holds re-
ceipts showing that each house has paid $50
each month.

The suggestion that Aug. 9 should be cele-

William Prescott of Fort Ripley, Grow
Wing county, sent a letter to Mayor Ames,
which was miscarried and has just come to

just seen in the GLOBE there was case of
smallpox in Minneapolis. He says: zone
grain of sulphate of zinc and one grain Of

whole in four ounces of water, is a sovereign

Aid. Morse believes in progression and i'm

council committee on water works is rather

the alderman $500. But he takes it good

that it will enhance the value of the property
just so much.

A PECULIAR SUIT
TO Recover Money Paid the City in
a FOrfeited-BaiI Case.

Papers were yesterday served on Mayor
Ames in suit begun against the city by
j. G. Worrall, for John Flanagan and W.
W. Brown, to recover $500. The case is a
peculiar and interesting one. On the 18th
of May, 1882, c. E. WenShold caused the
arrest of John S. Mccarthy and a man
named Ryan, charging them with having
worked a confidence game on him on a Man
itoba train between Minneapolis and How
ard Lake. John Flanagan and W. w.
Brown became sureties for the men in the
sum of $700 in each case. When the day
of the trial came on it was found the men
had disappeared, and Chief of Police Mum
ger attached Flanagan and Sullivan and
brought them into court on writ. Ed A.
Stevens was clerk of the municipal court,
and told the bondSmen he was the proper
person to receive the money, whereupon
they paid the forfeited bonds, which Stevens
turned into the city treasury that day.
Last year Ryan and Mccarthy were ar
rested. but the former died and the latter
was acquitted of the charge. Flanagan
and Brown have now begun an action to
recover the bond forfeited in the Mccarthy
case, claiming the money was paid to the
wrong person, and the clerk of the munich
pal court had no authority to receive it and
turn it over to the city. A similar. suit
will be begun in the Ryan case shortly,
but probably not until the other case has
been decided.

TO PLEASE EVERYBODY.
The Nlillers' Association to be SOme-
what RemOdeIed.

There is but little doubt that the Minneap-
oils Millers association will be greatly
changed in character at the expiration OF its
charter, which occurs Sept. Z. A movement
is now being directed to its reorganization in
such shape as to make it possible to get the
mills now outside to become members, and at
the same time satisfy those members who OBJ
ject to it in its present form. A committee
appointed some time ago lately reported in
favor Of continuing the association after its
charter runs out, Sept. Z, and this received
favorable acceptance. A joint committee,
composed of G. A. Pillsbury, John Crosby, E.
Zeider, l.. Christian, Samuel Morse and +. L.
Greenleaf, now has under consideration the
formation of new basis Of organization
There are five mills, representing daily
capacity of $500 barrels, which are not in
the association but this element has a repre-
sentation on the committee and is claimed to
look favorably upon the proposed scheme of
reorganizing. AS near as can be ascertained
the general desire is to make the association
less a medium for the direct purchase of
wheat but strong enough to enable the MEM
bers to get all the wheat they need. Some of
the higher salaried employees have been
acquainted with the situation, that they may
look elsewhere for employment after next

eighth encounter Ross changed horses.

to the trumpeter. In the ninth Walsh was
struck over the head, but the wire mask
and padding protected him from injury and
he won the encounter with a clever upper
cut. In the tenth his sword got
tangled up in his horses fy-net and Ross
seized the opportunity to haas~1er his back.
The referee made them take their places
again and the attack was again made and
won by Ross. At the fourteenth and last
encounter Walsh had secured seven points
and Ross six. The men urged their livery
stable steeds into gallop, and when they
met Walsh made a Iunge at Ross, and,
missing him, struck the latter's horse upon
the head, cutting slight cash just below
the right ear. 1t was announced that
Sergt. Walsh had won the first half of the
combat by securing eight out of fourteen
points, and that in the evening the fifteen
remaining points would be fought. The
crowd dispersed with a final whOop of
laughter at the way it had been sold and
hurried out to catch the first motor for the
city. Both Ross and Walsh had their hands
slightly cut by the blunt edges of the
swords, but otherwise they were uninjured.
THE NIGHT ATTACK
The encounter in the evening was of de-
cidedly more exciting character. and the
audience which was much smaller. enioyed
itself exceedingly. Sergt Fred Coffin was
made referee, the bugler footed and the
fight went on. 1t was soon made evident
to the crowd that Ross had blood in his
eve" and wanted revenge. He cut and
slashed vigorously and viciously. and kept

A HARDENED SON.
Whose Petty Robberies Include His
Own Eather

''Guess I want you," murmured big De-
tective Lawrence yesterday morning as he
laid his hand on Thorance Bates shoulder,
as that young man entered the place.
''Want me? What for?" asked the young
man, turning pale.
You know what for" answered Joe,
$50 come along and look pleasant" The
young man was taken to the lookup and
placed in cell 1, where he begged
most pitiously to be released,
eaying, he would go West and
lead different life. Young Bates resided
at 2712 Third avenue south with his par
ents, who are very respectable people.
July he pawned a watch which was after
wards found to have been stolen from the
store of James Colliten at 412 Lake street.
Detectives were put on the case and finally
fastened upon Bates as the guilty person.
Just before he was arrested he pawned an
other watch, which it turned out was stolen
from his father. The young man con-
fessed all to GLOBE reporter, and said he
had ''blown the money in" while out with
the boys. He expressed but little sorrow
for his misdeeds, and did not seem greatly
orried at the prospect of going to prison.

When Harper's Ferry surrendered to
''StonewalP' Jackson in September, 1862,
Gen. Jackson halted his horse in front of
the Ninth Vermont, and. taking off his hat,
Solemnly said: boys, don't feel bad; you
could not help it; it was just.as God wilIed
it," One of Jackson's staff asked Col.
Stannard of the Ninth Vermont if he ''had
anything to drink" Stannard courRously
handed him his flask, and the arrogant
young Confederate captaint poured out a
horn and mockingly said: Colonel, here
is to the health of the Southern Confeder-
acy." Stannard answered. ITO ask and
accept a courtesy of a prisoner and then in
suit him is an act that an honorable soldier
would scorn." Jackson turned on his staff
officer and gave him severe scoIding, say
ing the repetition of such an insult to a
prisoner would cost him his place. Then
turning to Col. Stannard Gen. Jackson
apologized for the conduct of his officer,
saying that it was an exceptional act of in
science on the part of young and reckless
man, and bowling gravely the famous Con-
federate captain rode away. The fatalism
of Jackson seemed eccentric, but it was
part of his religion to treat captive soldier
with high-minded courtesy.

from the residence of Nette Connolly on

of the dead girl were present, and some of
the floral tributes which they placed on the
coffin were very handsome and costly.
About three o'clock Rev. E. S. Williams,
who had consented to conduct the services,
arose, and in a firm voice preached prac-
tical, and at the same time, touching ser
mon. He dwelt upon the fact that there
was forgiveness for all who had sinned,
and closed by asking all those present who
desired to be prayed for to hold up their
right hand. Nearly all the women present
raised their hands. AS the coffin was
placed in the hearse and the procession
wendell its way to Layman's cemetery, the
scene was an impressive one, and many of
the women sobbed aloud. At the cemetery
the services were short and simple The
