PENITENTIARY COMPLAINTS
Liberated Pris oners Denounce
Both Treatment and Food.

Fcd anu II OOus
James Callan, who was sentenced to
sixteen months at Saltwater, from Min
neapolis. for burglary committed in a
hardware store on Hennepin avenue,
June SO, 1888, was released on Monday,
after having served his sentence, and
called at the GLOBE office for the pur-
pose of corrobOrating the statement of
ex-prisoner Dunlap, published in the
GLOBE short time since.
Things at the prison are just as rep
resented by the statements published in
the GLOBE" said Callan. but, hold
on; that isn't so; they are infinitely
worse than has been told. In addition
to my confederation of Dunlap's story,
| want to say that one of the guards is
a man totally unfit for the position he
holds. He's got a scheme by which he
makes a good deal of money. He APP
proacheS convicts with the statement
that he can obtain pardonS for them
through firm of lawyers whose agent
he is, and is always working UP cases
for himself among the prisoners. Be-
sides this the teward-Benner, his
name is-haS charge of everything in
the shape of food furnished the men.
For the past two months we have been
fed on what the steward calls pigs
hooks. They were rotten, sir, abso-
lutely rotten; and the smell from them
was so bad that all the windows had to
be opened. Even Deputy Warden
Westby was struck by the utter rotten
ness of the food furnished the prison
ers, and he approached the steward OH
the matter. WeStby told him that was
no sort of food to give human beings,
adding that he wouldn't feed dog of
his on such meat. Benner replied that
the meat was good, and this made
Westby hot, so he took one of the stink
ing hooks and grabbed Benner while he
showed the hook all over his
face and into his mouth. Then
again the food is very in
sufficient. / was working with
some other men outside the jail,
and the work was very hard. All we
got to eat while so engaged was very
small portion of gristle each and some
equally small sections of decayed cab
bage. l also want to complain of
Westby, the deputy warden, who hung
men up by their thumbs in the new
gymnasium because they refused to eat
the food furnished them. jenkins,
another of the guards, is densely ig-
norant and totally unprlneipled fellow,
whose hatred for the men under his
charge is always being made apparent
in some mean, petty way or other"
William Cleveland, one of the assistant
stewards at the Jail, who accompanied
Callan. corrOborated the story with the
exception of where it related tOWestby.
whom he said was good man in every
way, SO far as his Judgment went.

SAW SNAKES.
Results of River Trip on a
Warm Sunday.

Last Sunday Dick Murnane was one
of party of about thirty who went up
the Minnesota river on the steamer
Della. Dick tells of the journey as fol-
lows:
1T was great trip and everybody
had good time. didn't feel very
well myself, but l enjoyed the
day. You see l took MP O.
brandy early in the morni before
we started and it didn't agree
with me. Say. have you ever been up
the Minnesota? No? Well, its won
derful stream. Full of fish, turtles and
snakes. You call see 'em in the water.
Why, we saw hundreds Of soft
shell turtles. The smallest of them
measured no less than six feet in length.
And hundreds of them,. too, mind you.
We're the snakes plentiful? Well, |
should say so. | saw thousands and
thousands OF 'em. Some of them would
come and climb up the side of the boat,
and we had number on board. | like
snakes, you know. They're nice pets.
Most of those in the Minnesota are big
feliowS-frOm six to twelve feet long.
We shot number of them. Maybe you
think they're not cute. When you
SnOOC at one anu HISS llllH uc Ill LUZ ii
over on his back an play 'possum for a
few minutes, then he'll suddenly take a
header and away he goes at lightning
speed. They never retrace their course.
If one of those snakes takes it INTO his
head to go to certain point, he'll go
straight to it unless he dies in the at
tempt. But talking about shooting, re-
minds me that | made some pretty good
shots Sunday. I'd stand on the boat
and fire away at blade o. grass on the
shore, a distance of no less than $50
yards. Did | strike the mark? Split
the blade every time. Used rife, you
know. But Judge Cory is the best shot
of this locality. Why. that man can shoot
fly at distance of 100 yards every
time. But the funniest thing of all
was the queer snake that encountered
on land. We landed at a point about
fifteen miles above the fort, you know.
Well. the snake was only about four
feet long. | struck him with my cane,
and he broke in three pieces. Then,
you see, he was in four sections. Each
section crawled off in a different direo-
ton. Well, that was enough 70 aston
ish me. But that's not all. In few
minutes each section of the snake came
back. Finally, to my utter astonish-
ment, the sections hooked on to each
other, and the snake entire crawled
away as if I'd never touched him."
That was too much for the scribe.
He sneaked off and left Dick to talk to
the office desk, sofa and chairs.

Is Where Lowry Says He Has
Council in the Franchise
Matter.
Nothing Done but to Put the
Lowry Ordinance on It's
Passage.
Murray Raises the Point That
Council Can L egally Grant
No Franchise.
Three Ordinances for Passage,
One Referred and Four
Postponed.

The common council met in special
clothes on. The honorable body went
at it hammer and tongs, and succeeded
in reducing to definite form the chaotic
heap of crude street railway ordinances.
Seven ordinances were presented. The
council placed three of them on their
final passage, referred one to the COM
mittee on streets, and postponed action
on four others until their next regular
meeting. The general understanding
seemed to be that all ordinances
should be made to conform to the one
recommended by the committee on
streets for presentation to the st. Paul
City Railway company. Certain pro-
visions of this ordinance were unsatls-
factory to William Pitt Murray, and it
remained for that gentleman to bring
out new point, and call the attention
of the council to peculiar phase of the
law, which may have some bearing on
any ordinances that may be granted for
the construction of electric lines. Mr..
Murray stated that he desired to with
draw the ordinance bearing his name
GuG AHuSISOll 1OuSldoo- GuC
reason that the common council has no
authority to grant such franchises I'M
der its charter, and that if it had the re-
strictions are so onerous that no capt.
talIst would advance a dollar for the
construction of line of street railway
under it. Mr.. Murray holds that the
city charter must be amended before
any franchises for electric lines may be
granted. Under the city charter, he
holds. the common council has author
ity to grant franchises only for street
cars propelled by horses and steam
power. The cable line ordinance. under
the same construction, might be consid-
cred illegal.
After some preliminary discussion,
Aid. Sanborn moved that the st. Paul
City Railway company's ordinance re-
ceive its first reading. The motion pre-
vailed, and the clerk waded through the
long document. 1t had been well IN
derstood that Mi. Lowry would refuse
to accept this ordinance as formulated
by the committee Oh streets, and the
ouly question in doubt was whether he
would succeed in bluffing the council
into his terms. A letter to the council
was looked for-and it came. The COM
munication, characteristic of Mr.. Lowry,
is itself explanatory.

MEN AND MEASURES.

Mr.. Lowry made a shoulder bluff at
council last night, and there was only
half disposition to call it.
Trouble dire and dreadful is said to
be hanging over the st. Paul shelf of the
Minneapolis Tribune, and an explosion
is due to-day.
The rumor that Dick Warner has
been employed to defend the train rob
Der has not been denied, but is proba-
bly, untrue.
John Barnes says he didn't say it, and
John ought to know. His denial is at
least credit to him.
Some of the state papers are roasting
the Jockey club. Certain editors must
have bought short horses that had to be
led in to finish.
While the council delays the raising
of the bonus for the Selby cable extern
sion is said to be progressing. Perhaps
the council is waiting to note the re-
suit.
The Salvation army puts itself in the
position of saying, if it has done any
thing it's sorry for, it is glad OF 1t.

good work people will be, lnqulTlng
which is the court house and which is
the jail?
A meeting of the Elks was announced
for last night, and several persons sat
half through the council meeting before
they discovered they were not i'll the
right place.
Senator Davis declined to express an
opinion on the probable appointment OF
the obese Mr.. Ward as United States
marshal. The senator perhaps desired
first TO see Tim BVrneS.

The municipal civil court chamber
in the new city hall was crowded to the
doors last evening by gentlemen who
had lived in Ramsey county previous to

mittee appointed at the previous meet
ing of the Junior Pioneer association"
reported that seventy-tive names had

business of the meeting began last
night those who had not previously
signed came up and left their auto

mittee on constitution, read the by
laws and constitution, after which the
officers were elected. and the ''Junior
Pioneer association" became thing of

pioneer of 1850, was elected president
by unanimous vote. He took his seat
and delivered a neatly turned speech,
in which he stated that he would do his
level best to forward the interests of the
society. w. l.. Benson was elected
first vice president; ?. J. Dreis, second
vice president; Charles W. Spiel, secre-
tary; z. J. Strllwell, treasurer. Direct

BEAUTIFYING THE BAsTILE.
Extermfnating the MenaSerie
and Warning Against Unciean-


illness.
Sheriff Bean is firm believer in that
old axiom, Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" and he has afforded his prisoners
an opportunity to be clearly, if not al
together godly. When the old county
Jail came into the custody of Mr.. Beam
it was fit companion to the old city
lock up in point of cleanlinesS-or rather
uncleanlineSS. The new sheriff and his;
to work and rounded up" the bedbugS
and other wild animals in the building
and cremated them. Subsequently a
new coat of paint was applied to the
interior and new bedclotheS were sup-
piled. The Improvements are still going
on. Workmen are now engaged
in putting in seven cells to
be used exclusively for boys,
The rooms formerly occupied by
the county treasurer and the county
commissioners are being transformed
into large reception room, and a bath
room is being made in the women's
department. Apparatus for steam heat
ing is now being put in, and the old and
ugly iron stoves will be thrown out.
While all these improvements on the
interior are in progress the exterior is
not being neglected. Painters are en-
deavoring to harmonize the color of the
old building with that of the new court
house, but as they haven't the aid Of
the Davidson smoke-Stack their efforts
will probably be in vain.
The old board fence on the north side
of the Jail building will soon be re.
moved and DIR. Day will see that the
lawn is kent green.

WILL INTEREST LABOR.
A Workman Gets Judgment on
Contract With an Employer.

Justice Nelson yesterday heard the
case of John Klein against Lauer Bros.
1t appears that during the recent stone
cutters strike Henry Lauer went to
Omaha for the purpose of engaging
workmen. Klein, who is union man,
was engaged upon condition that Lauer
should pay his fare back to Omaha in
case he did not find union men working
in st. Paul. Upon his arrival here
Klein found that no union men were
working, and he refused to go to work
for Lauer and demanded the latter to
return his tool box. Lauer refused to
give up the tool box. and subsequently
Klein brought suit to secure possession
of the box and $40 damages. After
hearing the evidence in the case JUS
tice Nelson ordered the defendants to

Did Their Best on Grain.

A number of farmers of Polk county
made complaint some time ago that
their county commissioners did not at
tend to their business properly, as some
of the seed grain furnished them under
the new law was almost worthless. Gov.
Merriam ordered thorough investiga-
ton of the matter, but the report, which
has just been completed, shows that the
county commissioners were blamelesS,
as they had furnished the best grain
obtainable. The grain raised in that
section of the state has been poor tor
several years past, rendering it impos-
2sible to obtain a No. / article.

CRACKS ar THE CAPITOL.

Secretary of S ate Mattson received a
letter from Representative George w.
Harrington, of PIainYieW, asking about
the game law. He wrote that the pre-
vailing opinion was around his section
of the country that the new law had
not been recorded, and consequently
was not law, and that under that be-
lief many were already making prepare
lions to shoot prairie chickens on the
18th. Secretary Mattson, in his usual
laconic way, appended the following
note to the letter and returned it to the
sender:
The law is law, and shooting cannot be
done before the, Goth. Report violations to

Minneapolis was represented at the

CATION of Republican politicians who

the number is taken into consideration,
because, of course, Samuel P. would
not bow before anything save his own
