SIX WEDLOCKS PICKED.
But One Is Left Solid---The Usual
Divorce GriSt


There were seven divorce cases tried
yesterday, in which six divorces were
granted, and the other one was dis
missed. The case of Servine johnson
against Martin L. Johnson. was for a
divorce on the ground of adultery. The
plaintiff testified that she had for a
long time suspected her husband of
being intimate with woman
named Mary Bendeke, and on the
evening of the 1St of last
May she had followed them to the Mer-
chants hotel, on NicOllet avenue, where
she found they had procured room for
the night. She then procured the serv-
ices of policeman and entered the
room and found them in bed together.
The divorce was granted.
The case of William Warner against
Caroline Warner was dismissed. War
ner testified that he married the defend
ant in July, 1856, and that in the follow
ing January she gave birth to child.
This made him think that she had not
been vlrtuOuS woman, and he refused
to live with her. After being questioned
by the judge, he finally admitted that
he had been intimate with his wife be-
fore his marriage. The court immedi-
ately dismissed the case.
Kate f. Carpenter was granted di-
vorce from Cecil F. Carpenter on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment.
Catharine Miller was granted di-
vorce from James G. Miller on the
ground of deSertion.
Leah Turner was granted divorce
from George Turner ON the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment.
Josephine Alberty was granted di-
vorce from Chauncey Alberty on the
ground of habitual drunkenness.
Mary Erickson was granted divorce
from Arna Erickson on the ground of
deSertiOn,

M. Lamm himself. The party included
General Fredericks, of the Russian en-
bassy, and was chaperoned by M. Her
litz. A tremendous lump of rock was
drilled, and the "Bellite" being put in
the hoe was caused to explode by con-
tact with Illuminating mercury. The
explosion was not loud. nor did the de-
bris fly dangerously into the air. as is
the case with blasting by dynamite. On
the contrary, the rock gave way in huge
fakes. Experiments were then made to
show the safety of the explosive as COM
pared with the matter used by the Elm
vincibles." "Bellite" was placed on an
iron rail and was struck with sledge
hammer, when it merely became heated,
but did not explode. A small cartouche
OF the material was placed on strong
iron rail and ignited. 1t reduced the
rail into fragments, some of which flew
into perilOuS proximity to persons who
where placidly looking on from what
they considered safe distance. A shell
was next filled with "Bellite," and blew
wooden-raftered hut to pieces. The
new explosive is evidently efficient for
blasting purposes, and its inventor hopes
to be able to demonstrate its availability
for military use likewise. "Bellite" is
composed of about four parts of nitrate
of ammonium and one part of mixture
of binitro and trinitrobenzine with salt
petre. 1t smells like pitch, and is made
up into capsules which look like thick
wax candles, and are covered with
glazed paper, The stuff itself resembles
sulphur In appearance.

Will Be Invested in the New York
Life Building on Fifth Street.
When it was first stated that the New
York Life Insurance company would
erect big business block in Minneapo-.
lis it was thought that the whole thing
was big bluff. But it was not as al
ready the site has been selected ami
paid for. 1t is known as tho ChOwen
property, and includes ninety-nine feet
frontage on Second avenue south and
165 feet deep on Fifth street, ninety
nine feet on First avenue and 165 feet on
Fifth street, making in all $50
feet frontage on Fifth street, and
80 feet on First and Second avenues.
The price paid for this land was $780,
GOO, all in cold cash. The company is
now engaged in making plans for the
building, which will cost in the neigh,
borhoOd of sl,000,OOO. The building wiki
be fire-proof structure, ten stories in
height, and will face the new court
house and city hall building. AS soon
as the plans are completed the work
will be rapidly pushed.
The way in which the company came
to locate in Minneapolis is Interesting.

A Kick on Excelsior.

10 the Editor or the Globe.
Will you kindly allow me space
enough to express my disapproval of
the manner in which the Fourth of July
committee of Excelsior treated the pic
mic party of the Thistle and Tam
O'Shanter foot ball clubs. We were look
Ing for grounds for picnic that would
be suitable for amatch game between the
two clubs, when the Excelsior commit
tee came to us and offered us grounds if
we would come there. We accepted
their offer and went there 100 strong
and were the means of drawing quite a
number of others who were not men,
bers of the clubs. On arrival we found
nothing had been done in regard to
grounds and nobody inclined to do any
thing. Our clubs were roundly blamed
for lending our names to any adyer-
Using scheme by those who came
out to witness the game. and as we
acted in good faith we feel that we have
been treated i'll very shabby manner
by the people of Excelsior. The feel
ing was greatly aggravated by finding
our ball cut up in such manner as to
render it useless. We obtained no salts
faction from the Excelsior committee.
and feel justified in making known the
way in which people going to Excelsior
may expect to be treated. Very re-
spectfully yours,

To Soothe the Savage Beast
Schubert and the Cow


Just now all the members of Danz's
orchestra are enjoying laugh at the
expense of Mr.. Schubert, one of the
members. 1t appears that while the Or
chestra was at Fargo short time ago
the hotel at which the members were
stopping was crowded. and Mr.. Scfru-
bert, among others, was asked to sleep
in the hall on cot. This he refused to
do, and so was given a bed in the par
lor. After he had gone to bed two other
members drove a couple of COWS fntO
the parlor and shut the door.
In a short time the COWS began
prospecting and knocked over
table. The noise awoke Schubert, who
lighted match and looked around. He
saw the animals near him and, rushing
into corner, began calling for help,
In short time the landlord and guests
came pouring in, thinking, no doubt,
that the house was on fire. The sight
that they saw was cOmical one. There
stood MIR. Schubert in corner, clad in
a single white garment, frantically wav-
ing his arms and bowling: "NoW,
please, little cow. do 60 away and leave
me alone. l Will not hurt you.''
Mr.. Schubert was rescued from his
perilous position, but he does not smile
now when some one speaks of ssdear
little cow in his presence.

to have the verdict set aside on the
ground that it was indefinite and did
not state that crime had been COM

jurors were drawn in manner contrary
to law. The matter was taken under
advisement.
August johnson was ordered by the
court to appear before referee and

he was brought before the court on an

unable to give satisfactory excuse was
fined $40.
The trial of the case of William Bu-
chanan, charged with having attempted
TO commit rape on Mamie Beach, child
aged eleven years, was resumed yester-
day morning, but was dismissed before
all the evidence for the prosecution was
introduced, owing to the evidence being
SO contradictory.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The News Letter makes suggestion
which is full of merit. 1t is that Mama
ger Gooding give series of sacred ball
games, the presumption being that
such would be beyond the reach of the
prosecutors. There are so many frauds
yelled beneath the name of sacred"
and they Sc successfully elude the
Prosecution which is sure to seek out
the really more reputable concerns, that
the temptation to use the cloak is al
most irresistible.

The Star comes out in support of
Albert Schetfer for governor, though
it inserts saving clause by saying, ''as
against McGill and Merriam" The
Star has been rampantly in favor of
tariff reform ever since President Cleve-
lands message, and declares that while
McGill and Merriam formerly pro-
feSSed themselves in favor of tariff
reduction, they bowed the knee to the
monopolists and railroad attorneys who
framed the Chicago platform, and thus
proStituted their manhood, or words to
That effect, while Schetfer has had
the nerve to stand out for tariff
reform. On the plea that Schef-
fer'S record and principles have
not received fair treatment from any
daily paper, the Star boomS him to the
extent of three columns and thinks he
will make McGill and Merriam see many
blue days before the ides of November.
The st. Paul banker is very astute
politician in his way and has evidently
seen the Star.
The Journal makes very significant
admission in relation to the effect of the
Mills bill on business. 1t says those
branches of the business that are
affected by the tariff are by no means
active, as buyers are careful about
making investments while they
are not sure of prices. AS
buyers would only hesitate for
fear of decrease of prices this state
ment is tantamount to saying the Mills
bill willtreduce prices. This is exactly
what is contemplated. The friends of
the bill claim it will relieve the army
Of consumers by reducing the
cost of the necessaries of life
and urge its passage on those
grounds. The Journal has overreached
Itself in its partisan rancOr. There was
time when there was no more en-
thusiastic hOwler for revenue reform
than this same Journal: but since the
party lash cracked at Chicago the Jour
nal has weakened. and is ranged Oh the
side of the monOpoliStS.
