opposed to Jake Sharp Methods
in Securing Franchises.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The comment in the daily papers on
my action at the common council meet
ing Tuesday, in stating to that body
that bribe had been offered me to Sc
cure my vote in favor Of the electric
railway franchise, has induced me to
make a full statement of just what oc-
Cured between Brayton and myself.
Early last Tuesday morning Brayton
came to my store and used what argu-
ment he could to secure my vote for the
franchise, but then distinctly and re-
peatedly told him [ had made up my
mind to vote against granting it, as |
had done before. BraytOn then went
away, but returned to the store about
$50 o'clock in the afternoon, when,
during the course of conversation, he
offered me $1,000 if / could see my way
clear to vote for the passage of the
ordinance granting the franchise. or he
would give me 81 ,200 lot instead.
When the consideration of the ordi-
nance granting the franchise was
reached in the council proceedings,
considered it my duty to state what had
occurred, and | did so. Brayton said to
Dispatch reporter that l must be
crazy. l am of the opinion that before
this matter is ended he will find that l
am entirely sane and ready to do my
part in sending our local Jake SharpS
to the penitentiary,"
WHERE THEY BELONG.
Brayton also said to a Dispatch re-
porter that he might be willing to
give 81, ZOO to see the railway built, but
the only thing he offered me was cents
for beer. He also said we were drink
ing. l am ready, at any time, to pro-
duce the evidence of two reputable wit
neSSeS, who accidentally overheard our
conversation (Which did not occur as
stated in the Dispatch), that will bear
ME out i'll what l say.
''What did Brayton come to my store
for in the afternoon? He had already
had my decided answer in the morning.
Was it simply to inform me that he
might be willing to give LOCO to see the
road built? Such q story seems absurd.
''As to his drinking beer with me |
will simply say that I am a total alb
stainer and drank nothing with him on
the occasion mentioned or at any other
time.

!. AROUND A CAMP FIRE.
Veterans Talk Over Old Times and
Enjoy Themselves.

Members of Garfield Post No. s, of the

evening, which was attended by Mai.
John p. Rea. the commander-in-chief
of the order. Members of the post first
marched to the union depot, and upon
Commander Rea's arrival from Mime
apOlis, escorted him TO the camp fire,
which was held at the post hall, 1856
East Sixth street. A large number of
ladies and army friends were present,
the hall being crowded. An enjoyable,
as well as instructive, evening was
spent, instrumental music being inter-
sperSed with several addresses. Com
mander Rea delivered most eloquent
and stirring Grafton. He paid a glowing
tribute to the late Gen. Sheridan, re-
viewed the battlefields of the rebellion,
and stOutly supported the work of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The q.

and only recently an accession of LOCO

deeds of valor performed by the boys
who composed the Union army. They
were only boys-a gentleman had stated
that the average age OF the army was
merely nineteen. The G. A. r. existed

that the nation should be made to keep
faith with them, and with the pensions

much remained to be accomplished. A
thousand years hence the people of
America would place higher estimate

Science in Shirts

''No man can be truly happy in an i'll
fitting Shirt wrote wise man of mod
ern times. And he was right. Mortals
of the male persuasion in these DAYS,
who wear the ''biled" article, must
have garment fitted to th9ir forms, if
they would preserve an even tempera-
ment. Americans have progressed in
this direction fully as much as in others.
and shirts for well-dressed men are now
constructed on scientific principles: in
deed, it is possible for man to forget
he has one on, so easy are they, and so
perfectly made. A GLOBE man dropped
into Goyer Bros, at 1877 East Third
street, yesterday, to learn these and
other facts. One of the firm remarked
tnat ''St. Paul men are, as rule, rather
particular about their shirts and appre-
ciate well-made article. We have
succeeded in building up big trade in
this line, and the majority of our Gus
toners always have their shirts made to
order. This is our great speciality, and
we do not hesitate, with the experience
we have had. in guaranteeing a man
perfect satisfaction. The bet
ter qualities of shirts are now as care
fully made as dress-coats. If
you have any ill-tempered friends send
them to u.s." concluded MIR. GOyer.

BROTHERS AT LAW
Concerning the Division Of Their
Property.

A knotty question was settled yeSter-
day by Judge Kelly in the case of John
Brown and wife against the plaintiffs
two brothers, Patrick and James.
Mary Brown, the mother of the liti-
Sey street from Henry II. Gregg in
1869. She died in 1884. While living she
and her SONS occupied the house on the
west half OF the lot. John Brown mar
ried and put up house beside his
mothers, on the northeast quarter, and
he and his wife have lived in it ever
since. Patrick and James continue to
live in the old home. Mary Brown did
not receive her deed from Gregg until
November, 1881. She was a pretty old
woman, and made warranty deed to
John of the quarter upon which his
house stood, the instrument being re-
corded in February, 1882, and John kept
this deed secret from his brothers.
Where the trouble began was in the
mothers will. She ignored the fact that
she had decided piece of the lot to
John, and by her will bequeathed the
entire lot to her three SONS, share and
share alike.
In 1885 the three men got together
with some friends and attempted to
make satisfactory settlement
OF THEIR DIFFERENCES.
They came to the conclusion that the
land, exclusive of Johns improvements,
was worth $4,000. John was to
keep what his mother decided
to him, Patrick was to take
the west half, and James was to receive
$500 from John and $500 from Patrick.
This was all satisfactory, until John
went into the courts to get a third of the
property according to his mothers will,
with the idea that the quarter he owned
by virtue of the deed was not included
in the property bequeathed.
The question that arose was: How
could the lot be divided according to the
mothers will when she had given part
of it away?' If John sought more prop
erty according to the terms of the will.
he would have to waive all rights under
the warranty deed.
Judge Kelly made an equitable decis-
Ion. saying that unless John shall sur
render the deed and all right and title
to his quarter under it within sixty days
that the remainder of the property shall
be divided between Patrick and James.
Ii John will relinquish all his claims
under the deed. the entire lot shall be
divided according to the intention Of
the will.

HOSTS OF VOTERS
Make Matters Exciting at
Church Fair.

st. Johns church fair closed last even
ing with the largest attendance of any
night during the week. The scene
around the polls where the voting was
going on was lively and exciting. Cole
man Flaherty did the marking on the
blackboard. while Matt Egan and Mr.
McCabe. kept the audience posted as to
the voting. Albert Scheffer was de-
clared the most popular candidate for
governor and took the silk hat;
Mr.. McCabe, the most popu-
lar temperance man; Leithauser
the most popular alderman; AmoSs, the
most popular doctor; Steve McDonough,
the most popular young man; William
Doyle, of the Omha road, the most popu-
lar conductor. and T. Kavanagh, the
most popular railroad engineer.
Father Fleming, the parish priest,
was highly pleased with the work of his
parishioners, and stated that the results
of the fair had far surpassed his ex-
pectatiOnS. The fair will remain open
tomorrow evening, when the various
articles remaining over will be ratified.

SMASHING WINDOWS
Because He Lost Small Sum Of
Money.

Seventh street was considerably ex-
cited yesterday afternoon by the col
lected and philosophical way in which
G. E. Burton smashed the plate-gla
windows in Reads saloon. Burton says
4he went to sleep in chair in the saloon,
and had $3.50 in his pocket. When he
awoke the money was gone. He con-
cluded he had been robbed, and made
up his mind to get the worth of his
money out of the windows. He ac-
eordingly walked out and picked up
Three sections of brick. Two of these
he threw through one of the plate glass
windows OH the third floor, and the
third one through the second story
window. When this was done he stood
upon the sidewalk, lighted cigar and
waited for the patrol wagon to come for
him. As he took seat beside Officer
Phil Gibbons he said. with a smile,
1.-The only reason didn't throw a few
more bricks through the swindows was
because there were no more handy"

Manager Wilson Gives His
Version Of the Box Office

With All It's Drawbacks, the
Venture Has Been Prof
table.

The oft-promised suit of Manager
Charles j. Wilson, of the Peoples The
ater company, against President Frank
c. WhitmOre, Treasurer Eugene w.
Trask and Assistant Manager Lewis w.
Walker, the other members of the quad
ruple partnership, was filed in the office
of clerk of courts yesterday afternoon.
The complaint reviews all of Wilson's
dealings with the defendants since the
Peoples theater scheme started. The
partnership was the result of verbal
agreement in Minneapolis March "a,
and according to this understanding
TraSk and Whitmore were to fur
fully equip the theatrical venture,
full powers, ana Walker was to be his
assistant. The four gentlemen were to
be equal partners in the business. May
%. 1888, contract was formally drawn
up and signed. TraSk and Whitmore
were to furnish the capital and pay
three months rent for the hall. Each
partner was to receive salary of S75
per month for three months out of the
gross receipts, and after that time they
were to receive the same salary out of
the net receipts. TraSk and WhitmOre
were to be reimbursed out of the net
receipts after the salaries were paid.
The contract contained a provision to
the effect that each member of the con-
Germ was not only to be an equal partner,
but to be such in his particular position,
Wilson as manager, Trask as treasurer,
Whitmore as president and Walker as
assistant manager, and a refusal by
either to perform his duty and keep
faith was to be regarded as a forfeiture
of all his partnership rights and in
tereSt.
The house opened June II, and Mr.
Wilson states that the houses since then
have all shown profits.
A MONTH LATER TROUBLE BEGAN.
The'defendants wanted Wilson to cut.
down expenses, do less advertis-
ing, discharge certain help, pay
smaller professional salaries, and
make general retrenchment.
Wilson demanded financial statement
of the receipts and expenses of the
business Oh July %, but that was de-
MED him. Two days afterward meet
ing was held. at which defendants at
tempted to get Wilson out of his posi-
ton by making him leader of the
orchestra, whish would necessitate the
removal of the present leader, Thomas
p. Brooke, who was hired for one year.
Wilson claims that TraSk has refused
to pay him his salary since June: that
the business of the theater has suffered
generally, and that the defendants owe
different bills. amounting altogether to
SS,24742, which, he says, they are un-
able to pay.
He demands that the partnership be
| dissolved, a receiver appointed, the de-
PENDANTS shall be enioined from inter
fering with the financial affcirs of the
| theater, complete accounting of the
receipts and expenses be made, and that
the theatrical property be sold and di-
vided among the partners.
He submits list of creditors of the
! theater. with the amounts due each, as

MORE MONEY INVESTED
For Buildings Than Was Sc
Placed Last Year.

The impression seems to be prevalent
that building operations for 1888 in st.
Paul have not been as largo as they
were last year. A review of the figures
show that since Jan. 1, 1883, the permits
issued by the building inspector num-
Der 2,32S, as against 2,92S for the same

invested in building Improvements is
largely in excess of last year. Follow
