house under Judge Smiths habeas cor
pus decision, who were rearrested and
held to the grand jury in $1,000
bonds each by Judge Emery, are
all out on bail, some prominent
and wealthy citizens having gone on
their bonds, and now their attorney,
Judge Lors M. Rand, promises still
more startling developments in the case
than the release of the men, on the
ground that the municipal judge had
exceeded his authority. He said last
night: e''ThOse men are out, and
Judge Emery will never have the
pleasure of seeing them behind
bars again for this Offense. He thought
they had no friends; we will show him.

as defendants in damage suits

ment in violation of the constitution.

When we get done with the civil eases
we may give them something that will
do them still more good than that. You
mark my words now. The papers will

ates, criminal action is brought for ma.

lower bids. The committee did not ap-

CHAPTER TWO
OF "a Tale of Woe"-Milton's
Paradise Lost.

The sequel of the romance filed Thurs
day in the divorce proceedings of Mrs.
Brown against Milton D. was filed
yesterday by. that gentleman, and
the indications are that it
was but "a tale half told.
'.True, their welded life has been one
of malignant persecution on the one
hand and continuous suffering on the
other" says the complaint, ''but he is
the sufferer" His wife has hectored
and annoyed him, he says. almost from
their wedding day. She, too, he AYERS,
threw beds out of the window, threat
ened to break furniture, and with the
boarders and her children abused the
furniture Of his former wife, and that
he removed it only to save it
from destruction. After the bed
was disposed of that night he had to
sleep on the floor. The next night he
came home late and ordered his wife's
children up stairs, so that he might oc-
cupy the bed. On their not obeying
him he administered corporal punish
ment, whereupOn his wifes and eldest
daughter attacked him with clubs, and
after short conflict he passed the night
on lounge in the sitting room. He
admits the act of putting kerosene in
the butter and turpentine in the milk,
but says it was his own. So runs the
story of his answer, and lastly he says
he did move the four pianos from his
house. but affirms that they were
brought there by his wife to annoy him.

HARLEY IS IN TOWN.
The Young Man Shows Up at
Midnight and Says He Is
Not Running.
Mason Turns States Evidence
Who Got the Ninety
Per Cent?
The Strike in Minneapolis
Has Not Yet Been De-
clared on.
Probable Case of Infanticide
in New Boston--Gen-
eral News.

The Minneapolis afternoon papers be-
came unduly excited over w. &. Har-
ley yesterday and reported that he was
out of the city, with broad hint that he
was trying to prevent his bondsmen
from surrendering him to Sheriff
Eye. When this information was
first dished up to the pub
lie about s O'clock in the
afternoon Mr.. Harley was at the West
hotel taking bath. Later in tie day
he went to st. Paul on business, return
ing on the last train over the Milwaukee
road, about midnight. Speaking of the
reports, Harley said he had not run
away and did not intend to, but would
stay and fight the matter through the
courts.
Detective Howard has gone to Omaha
and will return this morning with eX-
Foreman Holcomb, who is not,
as he claimed to believe, brought here
as a witness, but who has been arrested
on new charge of larceny. Capt.
Holmes denies the assertion made by
Holcomb at Omaha. and printed in yes
terday's GLOBE, that he, HOlcOmb, was
promised immunity from any criminal
proceedings when he turned over to the
elevator company what property he had.
some $1,000 in all.
Mason, who was employed at the ele-
vator after HOlcomb left, has turned
states evidence, and his testimony, to-
gether with Harley'S admissions in his
testimony in civil proceedings against
the company, is expected to convict
Harley and Holc0mb. There is
another side to the matter, however, as
Harley said he got ten per cent of the
profits accruing to d. C Moak & Co.,
his employers, through the wheat steal
ing, and il that was his share, the other
80 per cent must have gone somewhere,
and as the amount was considerable. it
would be quite interesting to know
where. 1t has been more than limited
that D. c. Moak, the senior member Of
the defunct firm of d. G. MOak Il Co.,
will be liable to find things growing
tropical in his vicinity before long, and
there are still others who may be called
in to increase the strength of the COM
pany.
Detective Doyle said yesterday that
he knew of no more intended arrests,
but admitted that there might be some
contemplated of which he did not know.
OFF FOR HOME.

NOT DECLARED "OFF."
Negotiations For the Settlement
of the Strike.

Negotiations For the settlement
of the Strike.
There was rumor yesterday that he
gotiations were in progress for settle
ment of the street car strike and the re-
turn of the men. The company, how
ever, claims it has made no dcvi-
ation from the requirement of
the iron clad" contract. and
those of the strikers who are still out
say they will never sign it. The settle
ment of the st. Paul strike will doubt
less have an influence, but there does
not seem to be any definite understand
ing as to exactly what terms the strike
may be declared off.
A circular addressed to the business
men of Minneapolis is being distributed
which gives the annual report of the
board of directors of the street car COM
pany for 1887 as refutation to the
assertion that the company has been
losing money.
A special executive meeting of the
street car men was held at Labor Tenn
pie last night. and it was voted
there that the strike should
still remain on in Minneapolis.
1t seemed to be the general idea of the
men that 10 more of the old employees
would go back under the present iron
clad agreement and that the strike
would never be declared off in Mime
apOliS.

FINANCIALLY INSANE.
A Young Man Wants Judge Won
SchIegell to Go Home With Him.


Andrus Larson was before Judge Won
Schlegell for examination as to his san
ity, and was found to be insane enough
to go to Rochester. He has lived with
his brother and sister, on Harrison
street, for some time.
His case is rather a peculiar one. He
has been tut OF work and refuses to go
back while he has money.
''How much money have you?" asked
the Judge.
"Oh! Bout fifty dollars"
'.And where is it?''
"Oh; / lent it to fello."
''And how much docs ne owe yOu?"
ooh! Twenty-Five dollars"
81 thought you said fifty cents?"
'Oh! One fello twenty-five dollars
and another fello twenty-five dollars.
LET me see the note.'
'.Oh! It's at home. IfyOu want to go
down home wild me I'll show it to you
if you'll go down to the house wild me-"
''And why don't you go to work?"
'Oh! l have money; don't need to
work. can go to work just when l
want to when the money is gone"
The young fellow. who really had a
bright face, had way of drawing his
face all about one eye when he talked.
His brother and sister, who came with
him, said he was IAN awful bright boy
in Sweden, but when he got here he
was 'yurSt crazy; he talk alright, but he
vas yurst crazy.'' They said, too, that
he frightened the neighbors, so they
were all moving away.

DECIDED FOR MABEN.
A. ID. Smith Gets Not Dollar of
the $4,000 Demanded.

the $4,000 Demanded.
The jury in the case of A. D. Smith
against c. B. Maben brought in YER
dict. last night, for the defendant. The
argument occupied the greater part OF
the day. The first action in the morn
ing was a motion for a verdict for
Maben, and Judge Young denied it,.
Then the arguments were given. In
charging the jury Judge Young
said in regard to the charge
that Smith prevented voters from vOt-
ing by prematurely closing the polls,
that the time the polls were required to
be kept open was entirely i'll the power
of the inspectors. and that they were
not obliged to keep them open longer
than to allow those present to vote. and
that no charge of preventing voters
from voting on that ground could be
sustained. AS to the charge of receiv-
ing votes of stranger, he said that Il
the challenge was given so that the IN
spectors could hear it would be enough
to warrant him in prosecution. At 8
o'clock the case went to the jury. and
after being out about two hours they
returned the verdict.

ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

The distinguished characteristic of
Aid. Adams, of the Twelfth ward, is
that his name stands at the head of the
voting list. and consequently he is often
in doubt as to which way to throw his
influence on matters of public policy.
He is quiet, good-natured gentleman
with heavy reddish-brown mustache
and suggestion of the parson in every
thing but his garb. He is very bashful
and reserved in council meeting, and
spends most of the time in thinking
and resting his mouth. His remarks are
confined TO seeonding motions and eX-
planning his vote, which he does with a
stately, conscientious air that is very
refreshing. Aid. Adams is never seen
with the gayer councilmen when they
engage III reckless dissipation for two
or three consecutive hours, and some
times longer. as some of them have
raShly done of late.

of getting in, because the new company
proposes TO put in plant for an in
dustry that was unknown when
the Minneapolis Gas Light COM
pany got its franchise. The
council he thinks could hardly have in
tended 10 1870 to give any one the right
to manufacture fuel gas when fuel gas
was then unknown. The ordinance
itself somewhat supports this view, for
though it gives the old company the
right to manufacture gas from coal, it
nowhere defines the objects to which
the gas shall be put. However, eight
ing" is twice mentioned, as if the cOun-
Gil understood that was the only object
to which it should be put. Section
provides that the ordinance shall not
interfere with the right of any person
to manufacture gas to light his
own building. and section 3 pro-
yideSs. that the company and the
city Council may make contracts regul-
ating the lighting of the city by gas.
There are other evidences tn the ordl-
nance showing the intent of the coun-
Gil. which would probably have some
weight with a court. The question OF
the old company's exclusive tight to
manufacture coal gas was tested in the
QlStrlct court III 1857, Wnen one CIldrleS
ID. F. Smith obtained a franchise to
manufacture Illuminating gas, subject
to the conditions that the city council
should be flee from all damages that
might accrue from the invasion of
rights previously granted. He was
knocked out in the district court and
disappeared. Another gas franchise
has been granted; to J: B. Bas-
sett and others, which gives them
the right to manufacture natural gas
for fuel. The rights granted are good
until Jan. l, 1891. but no natural gas has
been discovered up to date. The fuel
gas ordinance which was refused a few
weeks ago, which was asked for by j.
K. Doolittle, w. B. Palmer and others,
was not refused because the council
feared the old company's franchise, but
because the company was not satisfied
that the projectors had the right to use
the patent they claimed. They tried
afterwards to get a bill through the
legislature embodying their proposed
ordinance and succeeded, but the gov
ernOr did not sign it.
