THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 1885,

you see, [ saw her soul. The spirit of
Omn science dropped it's mantle on me,
and saw within that soul murder. 1t
was wrapped up in her soul and brain,
pervading all the intricacieS Of her
nerves; yet loved her.
sNor did l hesitate to sacrifice my
own soul to save hers.
I'VE sat alone. l had a knife in my
Sleeve" said he. "Why, it was such a
knife as this" the mailman produced
one. He raised it slowly, and continued:
. Gas the surgeon strikes for the hidden
cancer | struck for her heart. She
fell! Was dead! Invisible to all eyes
but mine, out of the cash the knife had
made, swimming OH the crimson tide, [
saw emerge little Crystalline ball, all
covered with hierogfyphics and intricate
shapes and forms unknown to geometri-
dazzling that the wOman's body shone
like cathedral window, and when l
raised my hand to shield my eyes it
grew transparent and | saw through it!
Is sit was but the work of second to
grasp it with my hand-to place it in
this, now broken bottom bottle.
81 kept that soul for $4,000
years: in fact, until day before yeSter-
day. Now mark. Day before yesterday
man came to me: he was a scorner
aud an Atheist.
ii 'sHe swore there was no God. He be-
lieyed in chance. l rushed into the
house. The bottle dropped-was broken
the soul escaped.
1.-THE earth was rent under my feet.
Again fiends swarmed around me, and
the soul, tossed hither and thither
among them, burst into eonflagratlon
like the burning Of city! So you
see," concluded the maniac, ''all my
trouble was in vain. l slew my wife to
save her soul, and lost it because [ ban
died idle words with an unbelieyer, hop
ing to convert him with Bible phrases.
'Some men, they say, have no souls.
Perhaps you are one of them. Have
you any objection, sir" he said. feeling
the point of his knife-blade with the
end of his thumb as if to test its keen
nesS-'shaye you any objections to my
opening an aperture between your ribs
in order to see. will bottle your soul
with pleasure, sir, if you see fit"
By deXtrOus movement l attempted
to snatch the knife from his hand, but
he darted away so nimbly the attempt
failed.
Sir" he said, skipping to one side of
a packing case, while | made sure to
keep on the opposite side, ''Only one
little stab! assure you it is painless.
Only one"
AS rushed toward him with an up
lifted chair, he bounded over my head,
came down on his feet, and vanished
through the open doorway, reaching the
street by the common stairway. That
night he walked back to the asylum
from whence he had escaped, and asked
admittance, saying he was the prophet
Daniel, just from the lions den. Dur
ing my long experience | have heard
the mad express many odd things, but
nothing quite so preposterous as the
unfortunate professors idea of being
able to ''bottle souls"

ePresident E. H. Atwood, of the

Fifth-district politician yesterday, sin
the course of a speech which he de-
livered up in our section not long ago.,
asked, What shall we do to be saved"
1t seems to me that that question is
about solved. One of the lost was
given the wardenship of the Saltwater
prison, another was placed in charge OF
the State reformatory, and numerous
others have been given other soft places.
Oh, yes, this problem OF saving mem

Chips From the Ties.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road has begun using the buffet stock cars to
ship cattle from Kansas City TO Chicago, thus
enabling cattle to be fed in transit.
C. Shields having resigned as superintend-
ent of the Montana division of the Manitoba,
the affairs of the division will be temporarily
assumed by H. c. Ives, assistant general man
ager. His Office will be at Great Falls. Mont.
gentleman who was in ST. Paul yesterday
from Montana says that the Union Pacific
road will not meet the cut made by the
Northern Pacific to Helena. The Union Pa
cific business comes through Butte to Helena,
and that road has decided that the higher
rates to Butte are better for it than the re-
duced rates to Helena. twill therefore drop
the Helena business.
The Northern Pacific road will extend its
lumber tariff west of Missoula as far as Spo-
kane Falls. The rate to Missoula is 81 cents,
and will be so cents to Spokane Falls.
The Northern Pacific road took out over
235 emigrants to Spokane Falls and other

GETTING EVIDENCE.
Methods of a Lawyer Given Away


by One Of His Detectives.
for disorderly oonduct, before
Judge Cory yesterday morning, there
were some interesting develop
ments tending to show the prac-
tees resorted to by persons interested
in securing evidence for divorce suits.
Originally Lacy's trunk was at the bot
tom of the difficulty, this necessary ar
ticle having been moved to the house
of the lawyer in the divorce suit, Joseph
E. Dunlap, who held it for money owed
him by Lacy. 1t was while endeayOring
to obtain his trunk that Lacy, it is al
legged became disorderly and was ar
rested. While in durance vile he made
up his mind to get even with the legal
representative, and accordingly yester-
day morning ne related in detail how he
had been employed by Dunlap to watch
the wife, Mr.. Dunlap's client, who
wants to get a divorce, with a view to
receiving corroborative evidence of
the woman's guilt. This, Lacy de-
doubt, as the woman met GER
tain man not her husband
five nights out of eight. but who the
parties were Lacy declined to say, as he
did not want to spoil good fellows
fun. Mr.. Dunlap, when questioned
about this matter last evening, said that
it was true he had been retained in a
divorce suit, but he would not 90 into
details, as it would be unfair to his
client.
Mr. Dunlap said that the woman in
the case was the wife Of man who had
been train dispatcher in the employ
of the Duluth road-a young man of
good character. He said he employed
Lacy to secure the necessary evidence
against the woman, and the fact
that Mr.. Lacy, the ''detective,"
had given it away, was, he said, an act
of perfdy. The man in the case, Mr..
Dunlap said, had been in Duluth since
living in st. Paul, but his whereabouts
now were only known to himself and
one other man. The detective" said
he was rooming at ia Iglehart street,

ROTUNDA RIPPLEs.

Edward McMurtrie, of the Western
Land company, who is at the Mer-
chants, said that all the trouble between
his company and the squatters in
O'Brien county, To-, had been adjusted,
and the rightful owners were in pos
session. The squatters had moved off
all the lands belonging to the Western
Land company, but there was still some
difficulty regarding the land owned by
the Sioux City corporation. A bill had
been introduced in the Iowa legislature
providing for ceSsion of this land
back to the United States. the promot-
ers of the scheme being of the opinion
that such action would enable them to
reap the benefits of the homestead law.
But it was unlikely that the legislature
would sanction such move, for in
any event it would but lead to endless
litigation, as the company, if beaten,
would carry the case up to the highest
court in the country.
