AFTER THE AFFRAY.
Slight Corrections by Full Re.
turns---Notes of the Prim aries.

tufnS---NOteS Oh the frlmarleS.
Complete returns from the primaries,
held on Friday evening, slightly change
the result. Both Wilson and Ames
were given delegates, in cases which
should have belonged to the other. Of
the los delegates to have been chosen
in the city. 1876 were elected, and, of
them, Ames has 1856 and Wilson 80:
Yesterdays GLOBE, by typographical
errors, credited Ames with delegates in
the Sixth precinct of the Fourth, and
the Third precinct of the Second, which
should have gone to Wilson, but they
weres correctly placed in the sum-
mary above. The county districts elect
sixty delegates, and good judges think
they will be divided nearly equally,
making the Ames' strength in
the convention 166, and Will
sons sixty, a majority of
about 100 for Ames. The Wilson men
have already decided to make no fight
whatever in the convention tomorrow,
as they stand no possible show and de-
sire to avoid any collision. A solid
AmeS delegation will be sent to ST.
Paul, and Wilson will be their second
choice. Both sides are now for harmony
and for an enthusiastic support of the
nominee.
There is already great deal of talk
over the coming convention and its
probable chairman. The principal OBJ
ject in view is the new county commit
tee, which the chairman will appoint if
the usual custom is carried out. p. B.
Winston, G. NJ. Foote, w. II. Donahue,
Titus Mareck and A. L. Ankeny have
all been mentioned, and any one of
them would hold the convention well in
hand.
Hector Mclean, who beat c. M. Foote
in the Fifth, says it was not question
between Ames and Wilson at all. Foote
has secured a proxy, and will be in the
convention.
A. n. Jordan received the highest
vote in his precinct. though he was the
one Wilson man elected.
In the second precinct of the Eighth,
voters were a little mixed as 10 how
Herb Conner stood and before he could
explain it, another man was elected.
Judge A. Ueland, formerly Republi-
can judge of probate, is now Democrat
on the tariff issue and was a Wilson del
egate in Mayor Ames' own precinct. He
was defeated only by few votes, which
was high compliment. Judge Ueand
is Norwegian of prominence and infiu-
eEce.
G. b. Maben, who was defeated in the
third precinct of the Fourth, is out, in
his Free Lance, with singing criti-
ciSm under the head of Fraud, Fraud,

sorts of fraudulent practices to account
for his defeat.

where space is too limited to admit of

on the mantels photographs of gentle
men. These faces belong to the chaps

never so sly and cautious in their

mantels of the secret homes. The
wicked but willy hireling will thus en-

danger, while, at the same time, she
keeps a picture of her real sweetheart
in her heart and pocket. Alas! this is

ELECTED FOR LIFE.
Bungling Legislation Makes a
Snap for City Justices.

A sample of some of the careless,
bungling work of the last legislature is
found in the act creating the offices of
justices of the peace for Minneapolis.
The legal fraternity is all at sea over
the term for which they are elected and
when a new election can be held. 1t is
the opinion of the majority that the
present justices will hold office until
the next legislature can apply Il little
common sense to the act and fix the time
of election. The law says: There
shall be elected at the next municipal
election. to be held in the city of Mime
apoliS, three justices of the peace. Said
justices of the peace shall hold their
offices for two years from and
after their election, or until
their successors are elected" Under
this act, three justices were elected in
the spring of 1887 and their terms would
expire next spring, but the legislature
has wiped out the spring election, and
there will be after this fall no munich
pal election until the fall of 1890. There
is no provision in the act for electing
justices this fall to take their seats in
the spring, and, in the language Of Boss
Tweed, What are you going to do
about it?"
Justice Abel said of it: 81 do not
see that an election can be held this
fall, and the act does not provide for the
second election, anyhow. | suppose we
hold on until the legislature amends the
act if it takes a century,"
This is one sample only of the work
of a Republican legislature.

The Sea-ShOre bellies are apt to be just

tulle wells of the color of the gown,
whether green, rose or mauve, with also
wells of thicker net. that give the face
the effect of being powdered to match
the color of the costume. Pretty petit
coats are both dainty and conspicuous.
Shot silk ones are in the majority,
many with three or four fiOunces
with pinked edges, placed one above
the other. Parasols as well as
hats are now covered with natural
roses and other real flowers at garden
fetes. The sheerest lace or tulle is the
foundation of the hat or sunshade.
White for the entire costume, and its
accessories was never more popular
than it is at this season, and it is likely
to remain so till the leaves fade and
fall. White waistcOats, white Sashes,
white gloves, parasols and hats have
reigned supreme. The capelines, or
wide .brimmed hats of straw or tnlle,
are the most successful French designs
for the country in midsummer. The
brimS are of the most eccentric shades,
often projecting capriciously in front,

How a Jury. 1t Is Alleged. Was
Influenced in a Suit


There was noticeable absence of
Judges at the court house yesterday
afternoon, all except Judge Young be-
ing at the Sheridan ObSequies. AS a
natural consequence but little business
of Importance was transacted. The
most interesting suits were those of
John Il. Everard, Z. G. Barnaby, and
Nj. L. Hall against the Minneapolis IL
ST. Croix Railroad company, which
came up on motion for a new trial.
In condemnation proceedings begun
by the railroad company some time ago,
the commissioners appraised the land
of the gentlemen named at what the
owners considered a great deal under
the real value. They accord
ingly appealed to the district
court, and the jury returned a
verdict in each case placing the amount
far above the valuation fixed by the COM
miSsioneIs. In one case, j. X. Everard's,
the commissioners placed the value of
the land at $500, and the jury returned a
verdict for 5000. While the amount in
vOlVed i'll the other cases was not so large,
there was as great difference in the
two sets of figures, in proportion. Judge
Springer, the attorney for the railroads,
thought that there must be something
wrong somewhere. Yesterday he came
into court and moved for new trial of
all the cases, charging that the juries had
been tampered with, while out viewing
the property. 1t is alleged that while
the members of the jury were looking at
the property Mr.. Everard ''Set up" the
cigars, and this, among other things,
Judge Springer claims Influenced them
i'm favor of the property owners. The
cases were argued and submitted.

God grant this prayer for His sake"
COMMANDER CHIEF REA,
of the q. A. R., spoke eloquently and
with evident feeling, his remarks at
times calling out subdued applause. He
said:
"They tell us that Phil Sheridan is
dead; that Sheridan is being laid away
to-day in a little spot at Arlington cem-
etery. 1t is miStake-it is the body
that contained the mighty spirit of in
dOmitable courage that lead to victory
day too near the events of the war, too
near the mighty leaders to measure the
influence of that great convulSion,
which was one of the nerve centres of
the worlds history, with its waves of
power that will never cease in leveling
Society-in which there was no grander
leader, no truer man than he who has
died and whose death we mourn to-day.
L am glad they selected Arlington for
his burial place; that he who held the
love of army as no one ever did, is placed
there with that mighty spectre
army over which the guardian angel
Columbia will keep watch. l need not
tell his life; it is written in history, to
be read in all centuries. Long after
we have passed away his tomb will be
the Mecca shrine of hundreds of mill
ions in the centuries to come represent
ing all natiOnalitieS, races and religions.
In the great swelling tide of human
progress little Phil Sheridan will stand
forth in a glory greater than
that in which you now behold
him. If the occasion ever rises.
ii there should be another struggle |
hope God will give another leader, a
grand patriot equal to Philip Henry
Sheridan. l can only add this: They
said two months that ago that he was
recovering, and it seemed that the great
love of the nation and the progress of
the people had gone beyond the confines
of eternity and brought Sheridan back
to life to stay a little longer. If the
tears of those who loved him, of those
ne had helped to free. if the prayers of
the country's entire citizenship, if Serv-
ice to mankind count, then will his in
gress into eternity also be happy
one"
This concluded the ceremonies, and
the concourse dispersed as the salute of
seventeen guns was being fired from
the river bank.

THE MUNICIPAL JUDGES.
More Inconveniences From Bung-
linz IIepiSlafi0n

Politicians are considerably at vari-
ance over the mOOted case of the judges
Of the municipal court. Do we elect
this fall, or do we not? Two years ago
the Democrats thought it right to elect
two men to succeed the present incum-
bentS, but the supreme court took a
different view OF it. The municipal
court act, as amended in 1885, extended
the terms of the present incumbents by
that curious and we'll known piece of
back action legislation and gave them
until 1889 to administer justice. AS
construed by the supreme court,
their terms extend six years
from the first Tuesday in April, 1888.
1t was presumed, at that time. that the
regular municipal election would be
held in the spring, but now that has
been abolished and as there is to be no
municipal election until 1890, will the
present Judges hold over, or will there
be vacancy next April? Again, the
great legal heads of the city are at
variance. If two men should be elected
i'll November next, could they take their
seats next April? 1t is reported that
the present incumbents will resign and
the governor reappoint them, but in
such case, when would their terms eX-
pire and when would the election for
their successors occur? If both parties
would agree to an election this fall, it
is still possible that the successful can
didates would hare to fight for the
seats.

THE TOWNSEND FAILURE.
A Schedule of the Assets and tn,
Liabilities Filed.

Since the failure of Burt B. Town
send, the furniture dealer, considerable
speculation has been INDUCED in as to
what the exact assets and liabilities are.
A schedule was filed in the district
court yesterday morning showing the
assets to be Sl1, ,031.96, and the liabilities
S27, ,03S.3l, small difference of Sl6,-
006.35. The liabilities are mainly small
claims against Mr.. Townsend for furni-
ture. Among the largest are Robert
Townsend, s1,S57.SS, money loaned;
Mrs. E.Townsend, s., 269, money loaned;
and o.. F.. Pillsbury, trustee, sl3,5OO,
money loaned. Among the assets cash
on hand and in the bank is given at
sl7.72; accounts receivable, 81, 1919;
bills receivable, S469.40; suspense ac-
counts, s243.05. The rest is in stock.
In making out his schedule of assets,
Mr.. Townsend states that about 5000
of the bills and accounts are poor and
probably uncollectable. If such is the
fact, it would bring the assets down to
about $4,000.
