A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
Postmaster Ankeny Says the
Hours of the Employees Are Too

Il
Hours OF the Employees Are Too
Long.
Postmaster Ankeny was quoted in
Sundays GLOBE as saying concerning
the average hours of work of the post
office employees: II don't think the
men average over ten hours day dur
ing the year. They may have to work
twelve or fourteen hours during the busy
season, about Christmas time, but many
days eight hours is all that is required
to do their work."
A communication appeared in yes
terday's GLOBE in which the postmaster
was taken to task for his assertion, the
writer claiming to know personally that
EMPLOYEES work ten hours every day land
the greater portion of them twelve to
fourteen hours day, even on Sundays.
Postmaster Ankeny seemed to be con-
siderably eXasperated yesterday over
the report in the GLOBE, and claimed
he had been misrepresented in
the interview. never said
the employees work only eight
hours a day. he remarked, land
am perfectly aware that there is not a
man in the office who is not required to
work from ten to twelve hours and even
more. l so represented to the depart
ment in requesting an additional force
to reduce the long hours of the men.
1t is particularly annoying that at this
very time, when | am trying to get an
increase of appropriations, to be quoted
ar saying the men only work eight
hours on the ayerage.n

THE BARREL TAPPED.
The English Family Barrel Tapped for a
Good Round Sum.
A SENSATIONAL SUIT ENDED
A Son Of Ex-senator English Gets Into
Trouble With a Pretty
Widow.

The English family's barrel has been
tapped once more.
1t is very secure vessel and its big
hoops and thick head make it almost as
good as safe.
When the head of the English family
he who is known as old Bill English,
of Indiana-was on the presidential
ticket with Gen. Hancock the barrel
was bugber to Democrats yearning for
wealth. They conldn't find their way
into it, either through the bunghOle or
head.
= But now buXOm young woman has
put her pretty fingers in and drawn out
$4,000. Rumor says this is the sum
that William E. English, son of the
former vice-presidential candidate, is to
pay Mrs. Lucy A. Case as cOnsidera-
ton for the withdrawal of her suit
against him for So, 900 damages. Will
lam E. English is the owner of the
opera house in Indianapolis, was for
merly grand master of the Order OF
Elks, and is lively gentleman,
like his father only in possessing a
strong regard for the integrity of the
family barrel. In his wanderings
around Indianapolis he met Mrs. Lucy
A. Case. She is charming brunette,
and her good looks support, measurably,
her averment that he fell in love with
her. She was a clerk in dry goods
store in indianapolis when he met her
first. but she soon gave up her clerkship
and devoted herself to preparation for
new matrimonial venture in which Mr..
English should be her partner. That
he would make her his wife, she has
said, was declared by him in many
ways, and particularly she asserts that
he said to her:
eff you ever marry any other than
myself, 1 will kill the man"
Mrs. Case expected that her marriage
would take place in the latter part of
1886 in this city. But it did not. Mr..
English visited her here and positively
declined to marry her. Then he re-
turned to the West, and she sought the
aid of Messrs. Howe & Hummel, who
prepared papers in suit for breach OF
promise of marriage and for other
wrong-doing. Mr.. English came here
again III February, 1887, to prepare for
be was about to board the steamer he
was captured on an order of
arrest. Ludlow Street Jail and
deprivation of his trip did not
suit MIR. English. There was a
great scurrying through the city for
bondsmen for him. They were finally
procured, and Mr.. English was released,
got tug, chased the Etruria down the
bay, caught her and went to Europe.
On his return to New York he made
an answer denying the averments of
Mrs. Case, and the suit went on the trial
calendar of the supreme court. Its turn
for trial came yesterday before Judge
Beach, but it was not tried. Counsel
announced that it had been settled.
Gossip said that $4,000 had been paid
Mrs. Case, but Mr.. Hummel, her cOun-
sci, refused to tell how much she was
given. He admitted that EX-GOv. En-
glish had taken an active part in bring
ing about the settlement, in order to
avoid any scandal that might result
from the trial of the suit.

ever THINE, l.. M. S."
A Graceful Bit of journalistic
Pleasantly Aired in Court.

PIeaSantry Aired in Court.
The preliminary papers in the libel
suit for $4,000 damages, brought by
Levi M. Stewart against Alden j.
Blethen and VIII E. Haskell, were filed
with the clerk of court yesterday. The
alleged libelOus matter, it is claimed,
was published in the Truthful James"
column in the Minneapolis Tribune of
Aug. s, 1856, and purported to be some
correspondence between the plaintiff
and Alden j. Blethen. in which the fol-
lowing quotation appeared as an admis-
sion made by the plaintiff:
know am an awful liar, an ass, and
brute, and have been all my life. but since
the Salvation army has arrived L am begin
ming to feel different. am going to erect q
church down in hell's half acre and l want
some help. Now, come along, Mr.. B., and
aid me, while there is yet time. Forgive all
my bad language. 1t wasn't me that said it;
it was Buckley, but don't give it away. Ever
thine, l.. M. S.
The plaintiff claims that the defend
ants had this quotation published in the
Tribune to induce the readers thereof
to believe that this plaintiff wrote it
and signed the same with the initials of
his name, to hold him up to the scorn,
ridicule and contempt of his neighbOrs,
and that his reputation has been dam
aged thereby to the extent of $4,000.

The X. OIL. Benefit.

The directors of the K. of l.. Building
association have made arrangements
with the Peoples theater for benefit
to be given the building fund
at the theater April 9 to IA. The
play that will be put upon the
boards by the Peoples company has not
as yet been decided upon. The commit
tee from the building association is
working hard to make the affair a sue
cess, and the management of the theater
is putting forth every effort to aid
them. 1t is probable that there will be
a special programme prepared by the
association in the way of addresses dur
ing the first two nights in addition to
the regular play.

OBVIOUSLY A BURLESQUE,
And Yet a Globe Story Stirs Up the
Republicans.

x
Republicans.
The Republicans do not like to be
twitted with being alarmed at the out
come of next falls election, although
their deep concern is very evident. AS
q result, an article that appeared in the
GLOBE yesterday morning, representing
that in their distress and anxiety,
they had turned to their old
trick of non-partisan nominations and
had actually made overtures to the
Algonquin club for an arrangement by
which non partisan and city nomina-
lions should be made, was not taken
with the best of grace. The shot hit
them in tender spot, and, although the
report of the meeting was obviously a
burlesque, they professed to be
Mortified at such f1ippant treatment
of such serious matter. The
vehement Robert Stratton, president
of the Union league, denounced the
guy as "a malicious lie," and the
other prominent Republicans, accord
ing to an evening paper, are ''highly
incensed at the idea of their giving up
the field" 1t is needless to say that
the Democrats were immensely tickled,
especially over the uproar created in
the Republican camp.

w. X. Hicks Makes a Somewhat
Surprising Discovery.

In spite of the inclement weather, a
large and attentive audience gathered
at the Emmanuel Baptist church, corner
Of Bloomington avenue and Twenty
third street south, last evening, to hear
the sixth and last lecture of the Adel-
phian course. The lecture was delivered
by w. K. Hicks, the well-kngwn South
side druggist, who used as his
subject "a Seventy five Days
trip through Great Britain" He COM
pared the customs, manners and ways
of doing business in the different parts
Of Great Britain, as he found them, with
what the people of this country are ac-
customed to. and gave very interest
ing and entertaining lecture. One thing
that he referred to seemed to cause
considerable surprise. and that was that
although he made it duty to look at
all the maps of the United States he
could find, and said he found plenty of
them in every large town, he did not
find single map with Minneapolis
marked OH it, but found marked on
nearly all them the towns of Fergus
Falls, Winona, Brainerd. Duluth, Man
katO and S, Paul.

siOners who were elected last spring is

as was generally understood. The other

boat with the street commissioners, and,
if they are, some of them may be forced
to hunt for a new Job.
