SAINT PAUL.
CHIT CHAT CORNER.

Every year st. Paul has an opportu-
hity to see a good many OF the men VINO
went out from Minnesota during the re-
bellion to help save the nation. OF late
years the survivors of each regiment
have formed an organization and annu-
ally meet to consult together and talk
over the events of the war. In some
respects the meetings are characterized
with tinge of sadness. The present
week, being Fair week, has seen 4
number of these gatherings. 1t Is now
about twenty-five years since these men
were mustered out. 1t is interesting to
listen to the talk on these occasions.
Some who came out of the army have
thriyen and become comparatively
wealthy. while many who seemed to
have sufficient ability TO make money
have failed entirely till now, when
they are passing into their last years
and are very, very poor.
-
Various miSfortuneS have fallen upon
these defenders of the country. Sick
ness, hard work and an unsatisfactory
living has enfeebled many; and, sad to
relate. some who went into the army
sober and steady young men contracted
habits that have enslaved them. and
kept them poor all the remainder of
their days. A year ago member OF
the Third regiment, while taking part
In the sham battle at the fair ground,
had the misfortune to be injured. His
.ace is now filed with powder stains,
and the sight of an eye is gone. lie has
been unable TO do any work for a year,
and is now here in st. Paul for treat
ment. Yesterday when the members
of his regiment were called upon to
contribute to the payment of the print
Eng of the last years minutes this SOL
dier among others went up to the table
and put down his money. Secretary
Mcdonald pushed it back to HIM, and
told him that in his opinion he had suf-
fered enough to be excused from con-
tributing, and that his money would
not go. Those who witnessed the quiet
little transaction thought Secretary Nc
Donald was right, and mentally thanked
him for his consideration.

Capt. S. r. Stafford, Fifteenth in

event of probable conviction and SEN

confinement at hard labor in the post

20 the Inconvenience and expense of de-
failing another officer for this particular
ease.
DR.. SheardOWn, of WinOna. at the re-
NniOn of the Tenth Minnesota regiment,
yesterday, gave humorous account of
ahe manner in which some of the bodies
3f the Indians that were hung at Man.
katO, and buried on the bank of the
siver at that place, were dug up and
transformed into skeleton adornments
for several medical offices in different
parts of the state. The doctor was
younger then than he is at present, and
much more deXtrOus in handling such
merchandise than he would be now.

Suit Against the Minneapolis

5ulC Against the minneapolis
Tribune for Heavy Damages.
Frank B. Smith has brought suit in
the United States court against the
Minneapolis Tribune company to re-
cover $4,000 for defamation of charac-
ter. The plaintiff, for cause of COM
plant states that oh the 18th day of
September, 1856, defendant maliciOuSly
composed and published concerning
him the following offensive and defama-
tory matter:

was tried yesterday before Judge
Young, and the following jury Uam-

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
"Away back in March, IS, Harriet B.
Burner was indicted by the grand jury
Of Hennepin county as a prOcureSs,
sried, convicted, and is now serving out
q three years sentence at Saltwater.
When her case first came up George b.
Robinson, reputable attorney at law
of this city, was employed to defend
Mrs. Burner by this very +. B. Smith.
Later on he turned up as prosecutor
and furnished the train of evidence
which sent Mrs. Burner up. At the
time of the trial story was travelling
about the cities of Memphis. Tenn, and
L n off hot
Smith had been prosecuting the Burner
woman. As evidence Of this Gustave
TOsse, of Kansas City, committed suicide,
as he alleged, to escape the clutches of
Smith. This theory was elaborated
by the Kansas City Times, one of the
leading Southwestern newspapers, and
the Avalanche. of Memphis, Tenn.
Both of these papers came to hand at
the Burner trial in March, 1885, and eX-
tracts from each were published.
Smith, after waiting some five months,
concluded to go for the Tribune,
although he neglected to sue the Times
or Avalanche, and sued this company
for So, 000. His attorneys were Sum-
Davis, of st. Paul. The Tribune was
defended by its own attorneys, Miller,
Young u Miller, of Minneapolis, and
Judge c. L. Flandrau, of st. Paul.
cit DIDN'T LAST LONG.
1.-THE case came on before the above
named jury, who were struck es-
pecially to try this case and lasted one
day. The jury was out four minutes
and decided that possibly the Tribune
had failed to prove complete Justification
as it had pleaded, and therefore gave
Smith a verdict, assessing the damages
at one cent, which may be construed to
mean that he had not been injured but
one cents worth even if the charges
were all false; or that Smith had but
one cents worth of character to lose;
or that libel suits are getting to be
nonOtonous and the jury wanted TO put
Its foot down on such suits; or any other
construction which can be put upon the
verdict which is commensurate with
one cents damages.

BAGGED Il BURGLAR.
Undoubted Evidence of Guilt in
His Pockets.


Ed Ryan was arrested Yesterday and
will be tried on the charge of burglary.
He is believed by the police to be the
man who has been trying to burglarize
the houses in West st. Paul dur
ing the last few days. A
woman who gave the name of Lena
KrOuse was arrested with Ryan
and is said to be his accomplice. When
Ryan was searched at the central police
station the articles on his person showed
that they belonged to various persons
on the West side whose houses mad been
robbed. He also had book with
two checks, which were taken from
the house of S. f. Dix. One check was
for SIP, and the other for Sl63. The in
dicatiOnS are that Ryan will go over the
road, but there seems to be little against
the woman, although the authorities be-
lieve that she disposed of the goods
which Ryan is alleged to have secured.

longed to Mrs. II. Donovan, who
came to st. Paul from Ashby
few days ago. The woman
is the wife of j. Donovan, of Ashby, a
gentleman in the employ of Shepherd,
Winston IL Co. 1t is a peculiar case.
Donovan is entirely ignorant as to how
the unborn child came to be in the
clothing. Coroner Quinn is inyestigat-
ing the case.
