Nervous People in South Mime
apOlis Frightened at Their Shad-
ows.
Ever since Tim and Peter Barrett
were hung in the Hennepin county Jail
there have been strange stories told of
ghostly figures at the Jail windows, and
several patrolmen in South Minneapolis
have reported that on several occasions
they have heard mysterious footsteps
and other sounds near the old Barrett
place. few evenings after the two
prisoners were executed one of the
Jallers went into the cell room to close
one of the windows. He was obliged
to climb up over the gallows to do this.
and while there was seen by several
pedestrians. who Immediately fled, de-
claring that the spirits of the Barretts
had returned to the earth.
Some of the South Minneapolis police
are really worried over the peculiar
sounds they have heard and have made
a. diligent search for the agency of
them, but thus far their efforts have
been unrewarded. A few evenings ago
weil-known resident of South Mime
apolls was going past Layman's ceme-
terry, near where the shooting of Toilet
son took place, when suddenly his at
tention was attracted by three
figures near the turntable. There
was something peculiar about the
three men, he thought, and so took his
stand in the shadow of the fence and
watched. Finally the figures turned
toward him, and, to his horror, he saw
the faces of "Reddy," Tim and Pete
Barrett as plainly as he ever saw any
thing. For moment the three figures
stood there, and then suddenly van
ished. AS soon as he could the gentle
man who had witnessed this strange
sight got assistance and went back to
the place. There were no footprints
there and no one in sight, but across the
track lay small board, which the hor-
rltied observer had seen in Tins hand.
There is certainly something very
strange about all this, and the people
residing in that section of the city are
very nervous. Several of the drivers
on the Cedar avenue line claim to have
heard peculiar and mysterious noises
near the turntable, but never thought
anything about it until now. The
South Minneapolis police are not at all
disposed to talk of the matter at all, but
say that it is certain that some queer
things have happened down there.

THE GRAND JURY.
No Symptoms of the Periodical
Shaking Up as Yet

A large number of witnesses were at
the court house to-day to appear before
the grand jury yesterday. Among them
was License Inspector Ray; that means
that proprietors of blind pigs and anti
license liquor sellers will, suffer. A
number of small burglaries and lar
cenies were examined into. Witnesses
testified in the case of Andrew Nelson,
who shot his wife about a month
ago on First avenue north. "Slim"
Riley, the man with gun in his
hat, who shot at Inspector Doyle Tues
day night, will doubtless be indicted to-
day when the case comes up. An in
dlctment was found against Hackett and
Kennedy, who slugged Patrolman Nc
Laugblin with SO nearly fatal effect
some weeks ago. 1t is understood that
the case against Willie Wods, the boy
who accidentally shot Gus Peterson last
week, was brought up, but no indict-
ment was found. No indictments have
as yet been returned or arraignments
made, and the workings of the body are
kept strictly secret.

TO BE REFlTTED,
The Grand Opera House Keeps
Up With the Procession.

The managers of the Grand are pre-
pairing to renOvate the theater. AS
soon as the dramatic season is over it
will be placed in the hands of Brad
street, Thurber & Co., whom the syn
dictate have employed to remodel and
refurnish it. Mr.. Bradstreet, who is to
design the improvements, goes East
this week to get ideas from the
great New York theaters. The
boxes nearest the stage will be
taken out and the space filled with Or
namental designs. A row of balcony
boxes will make up for the loss of box
room thus made. The decorations
throughout will be entirely changed.
The stage will have some new scenes
and the flies will be widened. An ar
cade will be placed in front of the thea
ter, forming a covered passageway from
the auditorium to carriages. At least
$4,000 will be expended in the i'm
DrOyemeltS.

CANCELLATION.
Aldermen Frightened Into Paying
Decent Wages This Year.

The sewer committee of the city coun-
Gil wrestled with the question of wages
to be paid by the city for work in that
department yesterday, and after con-
siderable discussion decided upon the
following figures: Foremen, $3.50 per
day; bricklayers. 40 cents an hour:
laborers, outside work, S1.75 for ten
hours; laborers, in tunnels, S175 for
eight hours work.
The committee was waited on by n.
Green, whose sewer machine the city
has had in use. Mr.. Green merely
wished to inform the committee that his
patent, pending at the time the machine
was bought, had been settled, and
asked that the bond given by him to
indemnify the city in any proceedings
under the patent laws, be discharged.
The matter was referred to the city at
tOrney.

larger. Two mills, representing 1000
barrels per day, that haYe for three
months been practically idle from the
lack of water power, are now in motion,
and will probably not shut down before
Saturday at least. Besides, another of
l.200 barrels capacity will start tonight.
This brings the apparent output for the
four closing days of the week up to
$4,000 barrels daily. though these figures
may be cut down by stops occurring
that are not now known of. The flour
market has not improved any since a
week ago, it being more inactive, If
possible, than at that time.

as Compared With Last Year.
CHICAGO, April 3.-The statement of
earnings and expenses of the Chicago,
Burlington 81 Quincy for the month of
February shows gross earnings to the
amount of S1,6S6,5l9, an increase of
s1lO,3S1, as compared with the same
period last year. Increased operating
expenses, however. wiped out this gain,
and left a net decrease of S62,945. For
the first two months of the year COM
bined there was an increase of 1855, 1872
in gross earnings, and $12.290 in net
earnings. A separate statement is made
covering properties controlled by the
Chicago, Burlington q Quincy. This
shows an increase in gross earnings of
$1S7, 179 for the month, and 1851, 800 for
the two months: also, an increase in
net. earnings of S69,5S9 for February,
and $S2,0la for January and February

Gray. "When / start out to do a thing"

THE WALRATH FAILURE,
Creditors Claim That the AS
signment Was Fraudulent,

Segment Was Fraudulent.
John W. Walrath, the insolvent
crockery dealer, who formerly kept a
store on Nicollet avenue, came up for
examination yesterday afternoon, ON an
application Of his creditors for dis
closure. The examination was in re-
gard to the disposition made of his
property, and the condition of the de-
tendant, with a view of en-
abiing the creditors to participate in
the distribution of the dividends without
filing releases. The creditors claim
that the failure, which took place the
last of December, was fraudulent one.
The total liabilities were S45, 767.97 and
the total assets were S13,3O7. The cred
itors are principally New York dealers.
The afternoon was occupied in the ex-
animation, and very little was deduced,
as Mr.. Walrath denied any knowledge
of the books OF accounts of his business.
The case will be continued to-day and
witnesses will be summoned. 1t bids
fair to grow interesting.

work done in that way, and then broke
