ID. c. Ross of Douglas township, while
in town last Tuesday informed us as %
positive fact, and his assertion is duly
confirmed by our worthy county sur
veyor, j, NJ. lin, that last Sunday, June
I'd, he found still remaining from the
hail storm of the night of the Goth, ult.,
bank of hail stones six feet in depth
by actual measurement, covered with
rubbish in the edge of the grove by the
Botna river, short distance north of
Robert Dayidsons, and Mr.. Ross fur
Their declares that last Tuesday the
hail drifts were to 5 feet deep, being
the tenth day after the storm, and that
then there were quantities of hail stones
in those drifts as large as walnuts and
hens eggs. This discounts the record
Of the great hail storm of August 1883,
which caused so much destruction in
the north and south part of our county,
when eight days after the storm the
butcher at Gray, Iowa, hauled a wagon
load of hail stones from ravine near
town and filled the ice box in his shop.
Mr.. Davidson should now open fash
ionable pleasure resort at the Grove
and serve the pleasure seekers abund-
antly with hailstones on toast, with
Ross and Hill as walters.

Benton Il Sons team, Tuesday morn
ing, succeeded In making short runa-
way on Washington street with no ser.
ious damage resulting. The mail car
rier when about to start with the Viola
Center mail, discovered that his neck
yoke was partly broken, and while
driving around to Jumps blacksmith
shop to have it repaired, the buggy
tongue dropped down and so frightened
the horses that turning quickly they
tipped the buggy over on the driver
and dragged him quite distance under
the buggy while he chung to the lines.
The team stopped near the shop door,
the slight damage soon repaired, and
the mail carrier, uninjured, went on his
way rejoicing that what might have
been very sad accident was very for
tunately ayerted.

THE ELECTRIC ROADS.
The Council Committee Will Dis
CuSs Franchises To-MorroW.

CuSs Franchises To-Morrow.
The committee on on streets of the
council will meet tomorrow evening to
hear arguments by representative OF
the South st. Paul Rapid Transit
company and the st. Paul & Mime
apolis Rapid Transit company, with a
view of making a report on the Ques-
ton of granting franchise to both
corporations. Indications point TO
favorable action by the committee.
In the case of the South ST. Paul
company, members OF the council who
did not witness the exhibition of the
elevated electrical railway last Wednes
daya have been of the opinion that the
cars would be suspended at such a dis
lance from the street as to interfere
with traffic. but the reverse is the case.
Unlike other elevated roads, and es-
pecially those of New York, the cleo
trical has but one line of posts, which
are between the double tracks, and the
cars run Oh each side of them from
fourteen to sixteen feet above the sur
face, and the highest vehicle, street car,
bus or other conveyance could not be in
the slightest danger from collision with
the cars OF the elevated road.
1t is understood that in the event of
the granting of the franchises asked the
rates of fare for a single trip between
the cities will not exceed cents, and
residents in the suburbs will be gamers
very materially.
Under the plan of the elevated road
proposed by the electric there will be
no obftruction of the streets or vision,
but the structure will be light, although
of the strongest material, and devoid of
any useless encumbrances which would
a tendency to depreciate the value of
property along the route.

OFF ON HIS SCRIPTURE.
Jerry COughIin Can Take Tickets
But Isn't Heavy on the Bible.


The fame of Jerry Coughlin, passen-
ger conductor on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway, is almost as ex-
tended as that of President Cleveland.
Mr.. Coughlin is one of the unique
features of the road ruled by Roswell
Miller, and he knows it. His business
does not require much study of theo-
logical subjects, hence it is that in dis
cussing Scriptural topics he sometimes
gets dates mixed.
A few evenings since Mr.. COughlin,
John S. Ryan, superintendent and train
dispatcher on the Milwaukee, and an
other happened to meet, and the con-
versation turned to Scripture.
Il notice that mechanics are referred
to i'll the Bible" Mr.. Coughlin said.
Now, st. Joseph is spoken of as car
penter."
That's So" Mr.. Ryan chmed in. 81
wonder if he ever built house, and if
so, whether any of the structures on
which he labored are still in existence,
or are crumbled into dust, as have
things generally in the Holy land
Here was a chance for the redoubta-
bic Jerry, who demanded: "Say, Ry-
an. you forget the big flood that wiped
out everything except the ark. You
don't suppose any of the houses were
left standidg, do you?'
When Mr.. Ryan recovered conscious
ness he set Mr.. Coughlin right. and the
latter has since refrained from discuss
ing floods, ancient or modern.

ELI PERKINS, RIVAL.
He Lives in Manitoba and Han
dies Facts ReckIessIy.

A new rival of Eli Perkins and Joe
Mulhatton has appeared in the person
of Provincial Treasurer Jones, of Mani
toba. In his budget speech, delivered
III the Manitoba legislature on Friday, a
summary of which was published in the
GLOBE yesterday, Mr.. Jones makes sew
eral vicious stabs at the members of the
late government, of which Norquay was
premier. Reckless and criminal eXtray-
agance was attributed to NorQuay and
his cOnfreres, whom he even charged
with dishonesty, alleging that every
member of the Norquay cabinet had
Oyerdrawn his salary before relinquish-
ing the reinS of office. "a
Whether the statements of Mr.. Jones
were in the main founded upon fact lie
probably knows best, but it is certain
that he went out of his way to wilfully
malign at least one gentleman who for
a time aided Premier N0rquay in the
administration of Manitoba affairs. The
gentleman referred tots c. E. Hamilton,
who was attorney general of Manitoba
during the late Conservative regime, and
is now practicing law in this city. A
reporter for the GLOBE saw Mr.. Hamil-
ton yesterday, and from him obtained
the following statement, which is fully
SuuSIdIluldGcl ny uOCullcllldIy plOOl tt.
anticipating that Mr.. Jones would
be likely to attempt the manufacture of
campaign material so soon as he sue
ceeded to office, | fortified myself and
am in position to give fat contradic-
ton to his statement, which is in effect
that the members of the late NOrQuay
government each swindled the province
out of months salary. 1 had been
paid months salary in advance, and
when resigned about the 21st of the
month [ covered into the treasury the
amount for the remaining part of the
month. TO be sure that there could be
10 mistake about it. paid the money
to Mi. Jones himself, taking his receipt
therefor
Mr.. Hamilton produced the receipt,
which is dated Feb. 6, and bears the
signature of Lyman NJ. Jones, provin-
cial treasurer. 1t completely refutes
Treasurer Jones statement in so far as
concerns Mr.. Hamilton, and weakenS
the general charge of fraud. If Mani
TOBIAS treasurer handles the cash of the
province as he does the truth, it would
seem that the change of government is
not likely to prove beneficial to the
province.

CHURCH OF ST. PETER.
A New Structure To Be Built on
Dayton's Bluff

Among the improvements proposed on
Dayton'S bluff is the new Episcopal
Church of st. Peter, which will be built
the coming summer on the corner of
Maple and Fourth streets. The building
will be of stone, and from the plans that
are contemplated will be one of the Or
namental buildings in that beautiful
part of the city. st. Peters parish has
heretofore been known as St. Peters
mission, and was established by DR..
Thomas, then rector of st. Paul, and
now bishop of Kansas.
The site upon which the new church
will stand has been bought and paid for
by the members of the mission, over
$1,000 of which was contributed by the
Ladies' guild. The new rector of the
parish, Rev. Samuel Mills, who was Sc
lected by the board of missions to take
charge of ST. Peter and the Mississippi
street mission,is especially qualified for
this work. 1t is the intention of the
vestry of st. Peter to call OH churchmen
and others in this city to aid them in
building this new church. which the
rapidly increasing population of the
bluff so much demands

CAUSED BY POOR BRICK.
A Break in the Work on the High
School Addition.

A breakdown occurred in the High
school annex building yesterday morn
ing, and there is probability of an
other breakdown when the board of
education meets again, though of diff
ferent kind. The one which took place
yesterday was Of a brick archway over
passage. covering a space of about ten
by thirty-tive feet. In its descent the
mass of brick carried down the first
floor, and left an unsightly heap of
ruins. Fortunately, there was no one
under ii at the time. The accident was
caused by using poor material. The
specifications called for hard BRICK,
while those used were of very poor
quality of soft brick. W. o. Erickson
is the contractor. The building inspec-
tor yesterday ordered Mr.. Erickson to
stop further work until ordered by the
board OF education to go on. The in
spector thinks Mr.. Erickson will wait
some time.
