He swindIed tbe Covernmeut.

MONTREAL, Jan. 6.-In connection with
the case of the absconding jeweler. Picard,
who left the city about two months ago, the
trustees and guardians of the estate have
discovered that for three years he has been
carrying on a swindle upon the customs
house, and that he had succeeded
in defrauding the revenue out of $50. 900
francs. Picard succeeded TO the business Of
Vidal & Co., and the investigation shows
that the swindling was inaugurated by
Picard's predecessors ten or twelve years
ago. 1t is also alleged that the watch man
ufacturing house of h. Sanders 81 Co. of
Geneva, Switzerland, were in the conspir-
acy. The plan was to furnish one set Of
invoices for the government inspection at
so or 75 per cent. below the actual value,
and the genuine invoices to the firm. In
the case of Picard the invoices containing
the real values were addressed to his private
residence, where he kept separate set of
books. The discovery of the fraud came
about through the revelations Of young
man who answered Picards advertisement
for partner and to whom he impaired the
secret of the customs evasion.

Cleveland Not superstitious.
Special to the Globe.

SpeClu 10 IuS OlODe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ga recent diner
out called attention to the alleged fact that
there was melancholy vein of superstition
running through the presidents mind about
his life. He said that the president had
never yet filled out any term of Office for
which he had been elected. This diner said
Mr.. Cleveland was elected mayor while vet
sheriff, and while he was mayor he was
elected governor. He reached the presi-
dency before he had served out his term as
governor. Now he is president and can go
no higher in political hOnors. This gentle
man said he had understood the president
had superstiIious idea that he might not
serve out his full term as president l
asked a gentleman who is very near to the
president about the truth of this, and he
said there was nothing in it. He said the
president is not at all superStitious, and al
though there was strange parallel in the
circumstances related, he thought it best to
leave the subject of speculating about the
continuance of this parallel to those who
are fond of the mythical and the supersti-
tiOus. The president is apparently the
very opposite of the superstitious type. He
is very matter-Of-fact, and is the very re-
verse of nervous. He is not at all inclined
to melancholy. He still retains his habit
of going to sleep easy when he is through
MS work He does not take as much phys
ical exercise as he would like, but his
physical condition is much better this win
ter than it was last spring.

The Board OF Trade BuIIdinr

with stands on a site which has frontage
of fifty feet on Superior street and lis feet
on Third avenue west. IL has a sub-base-
ment for machinery, and a basement, above
which are four stories Of pressed brick. In
style the building is simple and 10 a certain
extent ornamental. Its general appearance
is in keeping with its purpose. The en-
trance is through a terra Gotta pOrtico, on
which have been placed figures emblematic
OF agriculture and its products. above the
entrance is balcony, also In terra Gotta,
which is gem In design and proportion.
Over the second story are the words Board
OF Trade" and at the top OF the building is
an entablature representing a steamer.

terests that are so closely allied with those
Of the grain trade in Duluth. The trading
room is on the third floor, and is a large
room occupying the space Of two floors. 1t

preparation of tariff bills generally spend
large part of the session in hearing argu-
ments OF the paid attorneys of monopolies,
grown rich on our tariff laws 1t is per-
fectly clear in advance what they are going
to say. and the listening To them is a waste
OF time, as they assist none of the members
of the committee in their conclusions. This
elaborate arguments have more of a ten
dency to confuse and delay matters, and
are so intended. The average tariff mo-
nopolist is always against any agitation of
the tariff question. If the ways and means
committee could sit down as so many busi-
ness men and take out of the present tariff
laws the protection of those interests that
need no protection and prepare a bill in the
interests of the poor and those who have to
work, and then come before the house and
press such bill for passage, refusing firmly
to accept any amendment. such a measure
could undoubtedly be passed during the
session. 1t is probable that public opinion
would be strong enough to force such
measure through the senate

peen dead long since had the right men
been sent to Utah. The men sent had irri-
Iated and prosecuted the people of Utah.
Iwo-thirds Of the people of the world be-
lieve IN pOlygamy. Great Britain had
never put hand on the polygamists within
its domrnionS. The MOrmOns had their

house of prostitution could be found within
its limits. 1t could not be expected that
men, that had married wives thirty wears
ago,
WOULD PUT THEM ASIDE
now as so many prostitutes and declare
their children bastards. The bill under
consideration Mr.. Teller looked on as full
OF blOOds. II was too severe. We should
treat the great evil existing in Utah rather
with yelvety hand. Men who did not be-
Iieye in polygamy,had by the severity OF our
government been driven into a condition of
opposition to the policy of the people of the
United States. Mr.. EdmundS denied that
there was anything oppressive in the bill.
IL was simply an attempt to cut of the one
man power existing among the people of
Utah he would not discuss the crimes
committed whether at Nauvoo or in Utah.
Dut MormonlSn could not be successfully
dealt with by the ''velvety hands" re-
ferred to by Mr.. Teller 1t was a shame,
a delusiOn and pretense to cover crime.
After further argument as to the provisions
relating to the testimony of husband and
wife the debate went over until tomorrow,
MT. Edmunds saying he would then ask
the senate to ''Sit it out" and bring the bill
to vote. Mr.. Voorhees, gave notice that
on Wednesday, the Goth of January, he
would call up his resolution expressing the
sense OF the senate on the death of the late
Vice Pres. dent Hendricks. Mr. Hoar
asked and obtained unanimous consent to
have the judicial salary bill stand over as
diminished business till Monday next at 2
o'clock. Mr.. Blair, from the committee of
education and labor, reported fayorably a
Dill to aid in the establishment of common
schools. the same as the bill that passed the
senate last congress- The senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Jan. GA friend of the

practical suggestion regarding tariff legisla-

reported to have said he had noticed the
tariff bills of the past had been defeated
through attempting to conciliate too many
interests. The only practical way. he
thought, would be to have tine committee

ITEMS FROM THE SOUTH.

A TERRIBLE tragedy was enacted at Car
rollton, Miss, an interior town twentyfour
miles southwest of Grenada. Fifty men
rode into town and repaired to the Court
House, where thirteen negroes were waiting
for their trials to commence. The white
men walked into the court room and shot
ten of the negroes dead and motaly
wounded the other three. The shooting
grew out of the attempted assassination of
JAS. Liddell, prominent citizen, who was
shot and seriously wounded by these ne
groes some weeks ago.
W. B. GLABREATH 4 Co., cotton factors
at Memphis, have made an assignment.
The liabilities amount to $4,000; the as
sets including two plantations and an in
terest in 800 bales Of cotton, and book ac-
counts, aggregate 100000. :,
AT Memphis, Tenn, Emma Norman, q
sonzg lady "a ysars Of age, shot and killed
Henry Arnold, proprietor Of a grocery store.
1t is charged that Arnold ruined Miss Nor
man about eighteen months ago, and had
made repeated promises to marry her in a
short time. He married Miss Nellie Kelly,
and on the night of the murder, while
standing in front of his store, was shot
through the heart by Miss Norman, who APP
preached from behind. Miss Norman re-
sides eight miles in the country, and went
to town for the express purpose Of killing
hor seducer. She was arrested and ex-
presses great satisfaction at the result OF
her shot.
