CONFESSED HIS CRIME.
A Vag Voluntarily Admits Hay-
ing Stolen Horse Three Years

Ago.
'sYou look as though you had done
something wrong. 1 believe you've
stolen something" said acting Jailer
Conway last Sunday morning to-a big
vag of downcast countenance who had
followed him from the ''tramp room"
and stood before the officers bench a
picture of abject misery and despair.
Eyes sir, | have" returned the vag,
and want to make a confession, for 7
have had bad luck ever since; can't
get any work, and there's no use of my
trying to be man or to amount to any,
thing before. | confess it and suffer
for it.''
He then told a story of havig stolen a
horse three years ago last August from
August Miller, farmer living near JOr-
dan, Scott county, by whom he was en-
plOyed for a short time. AS the motive
for the crime he stated that he had
worked for Miller eleven days and that
the farmer would only pay him 81, so he
stole the horse and sold it out of re-
venge. Mr.. Miller was communicated
with and reported the loss of the horse
at the time stated. The vag. who gave
the name of oscar Leven, was then ar
rested, and was yesterday taken to Jor-
dan by Officer Conway, where he was
identified by the farmer. He was then
turned over to the sheriff of Scott
county at Shakopee. -

A MARITAL MUDDLE.
Judge Brill Renders Judgment in
Most Peculiar Case.


The decision rendered yesterday by
Judge Brill in the matter of the appeal
of Phoebe Charles from the order of the
probate court disallowing her claim to
an interest in the estate of Henry
G. Charles. deceased, is of special inter-
est from the peculiar nature OF the case.
The couple, Henry G. Charles and
Rachael S. White, were married in
Black Brook, Clinton county, N. Y, in
1S4S. and lived together for year and
a half. In 1850 they separated,
Charles moving to this state, where
he afterwards died. The woman
went to Massachusetts3in 1866. and from
there to California in 1867. In 1869 she
married again. believing her first hus-
band dead, the second and illegal union
being with a man named Perry. Henry
stuck it out longer than she did, not
marrying until 1882, when he became
enamored of reputedly handsome lady
named Juliette LIE Feyre, who resided
in Ramsey county, and the twain were
made one, LIVING together until the latter
part of 1888. AT, the time of his mar
riage Henry had no knowledge of Ra-
chaei's whereabouts, and Juliette was
not eOgniZant of the previous marriage.
The last marriage, to which Henry and
Juliette. were the parties, has never been

FRANK RarZer, ignorant OF the
English Language, Necessitates
New Trial of Law Suit.
There was some amusement caused in
the district court on Tuesday afternoon,
and il reports are correct, no little cuss-
ing behind the scenes in the jury ROOM.
The cause of the ripple which disturbed
the usual serenity of the court is named
Frank Ratzer, who was drawn on a jury
to try the case OF the Bank OF Mime
sofa against Olaf p. Olson and Eckberg
to recover $970, which Olson succeeded
in getting from the bank, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the money belonged to
Mrs. Lindman. The silent juror sat
through the proceedings, gazing stoically
at the judge as though deeply wrapped
in the intricacies of the case.
After the taking of all testimony was
concluded, Judge Kelly instructed the
jury to find against Oleson and to use
their judgment with regard to Eckberg.
The jury filed out, the still silent mem
ber of that august body maintaining an
imperturbabie gravity of countenance,
which was partially explained when the
fact developed that he could speak no
word of English, being just as abso-
lutely and utterly Norwegian as it is
possible for man to be. One of the
attorneys, after the judge had ex-
planned the situation, declined to accept
a verdict from the eleven jurors, and
the jury was dismissed. 1t afterwards
developed that the verdict of the eleven
was in favor of the attorney whose re-
fusal to compromise makes new trial

Seven corners, suffering intense pain
and showing every evidence of strycil-

called and administered variety of

one of these stated that he had taken

county hospital on an order from Or.
OBrien. At { 80 he was resting easily
and will probably recover. "A GLOBE
reporter, in investigating the matter,
found the mans name to be Charles
Perkins. who arrived in this
city last Thursday from Chi
cago, and has since. been rooming
with his cousin, A. IL. Perkins, who is
in the real estate business at los East
Fourth street. and lodges at the resi-

streets. The would-be suicide is well
connected in Chicago, and while there
was employed in the Office of one of the
lake transportation lines. He became
despondent at failing to find employ
ment in this city. and several times sig
nified his intention to put an end to his
troubles by committing self-murder.
He was found by his cousin last even
ing at the Clifton hotel, where he has
been taking his meals. and the two
went out together, and approaching
Seven corners he was taken i'll with
symptoms Of poisoning, with the results
above stated. DIR. O'Brien states that
the symptoms'were those of poisoning
by strychnine rather than laudanum.
but if is not absolutely certain any
poison was taken whatever. as the man
was under the influence of liquor. The
symptoms might be attributed to hys-

"JoCCO" IS JUGGED.
The Notorious Young Ruffian As
saults an officer.

Jack Conway, better known as the
notorious ''Jocco." is behind the bars
again, and the chances are that he will
take an excursion at the city's expense
as far as the works. Jocco, who has
been wanted for some time on an old
charge. filled his skin with bad liquor
last night and set himself the task of
imparting a carmine hue to the locality
adjacent to Seventh street and Broad
way. He disported himself in his own
inimitable style until a crowd of several
hundred people had gathered. Patrol
man Calvin attempted to subdue
"Jccco," and was set upon by that
worthy. who kicked the officer in the
side. pounded him on the head and
otherwise maitreated the worthy
guardian of law and order. EX-
Officer Henry Cornick came to the res
cue, and with assistance of Patrolmen
Mattox and Davis conveyed the obstrep-
erous youth to the central station,
where he was registered as dlserderly
and suspect. Officer Calvin had to be
assisted to a physicians Office, where
his injuries were attended to. "Jocco"
will be arraigned ia the municipal court
this morning.

Y. NJ. c. A. Gospel Meetings.

Every Sunday afternoon from $50 to
5 O'Clock the Y. NJ. G. A. conducts a
young mems gospel meeting, which is
growing to be an attractive, as we'll as a
profitable feature of association work.
The meetings were formerly held in
the lecture room, but owing to the large
number of young men attending the as
sociation was compelled to make use of
the gymnasium on the ground floor.
Probably one of the reasons why so
large a number of young men respond
to the cordial nyitation--young men
going out into the ''highways"-is the
excellent music which the orchestra
furnishes for the preliminary song ser
vice. Another reason is that the .pur-
pose OF the association is non-sectarian,
and does not come within OF interfere
with church work, but is wholly in SYM
pathy and harmony with it. These
meetings have been helpful to all
classes of men, and no doubt when the
proposed building is erected, in which
a room with large seating capacity is
expected to be had, will be still more
largely attended.
