SIXTY-SIX SINNERS.
Judge Cory Puts His Stamp on a
Big Batch OF Evil-Doers.

SiXty-siX culprits confronted the po-
lice magistrate yesterday morning. and
motley crowd it was, ranging from
pale women to red-nosed buns and
swarthy Africans. Fines aggregating
S442 were. collected. Nineteen women
and men who were up for visiting
houses of ill-fame were fined SIS or fif-
teen days, and one lone 'madam" paid
a fine Of 800. Oliver johnson, the man
who assaulted Gus johnson on the
upper flats Saturday night, was
held to the grand jury under
$500 bail. Phil Mcdonald, the
Ryan bartender accused by May
Horton of robbing her of 1868 belong
ing to her FRIEND" Dannie Needham,
was discharged, the charge not being
sustained. ''Jocco'' Conway. who was
rearrested when released from the work
house Saturday night on a charge of
brutally assaulting Officer NJ. t. Calvin,
was released under suspended sem
tence of ninety days. Charles BrunSon,
the Dayton bluff boy accused of passing
forged checks, was held to the grand
jury under 500 bail. Frank Swain, the

TRADE ETHICS VIOLATED.
Retail Grocers Roast Wholesalers
Who Sell in Small Lots.

The Retail grocers' association met
yesterday afternoon at Druids' hall, on
East Seventh street. with G. B. Moss in
the chair. Before the meeting got
down to business, motion was made
to exclude all but members of the or
ganization and appoint a doorkeeper to
prevent eavesdropping. Allegations
were heard from several members of
violation of trade ethics by certain
wholesale merchants of the city, by
selling goods at retail. the charges set
ting forth at what time and place said
sales were made. The object was to
roast the delinquent wholesalers to the
taste of the retailers association. The
reason given for the exclusion of re-
porterS was stated by member of the
association to be that, although it was
the intention of the guild to expose
certain unbusinesslike proceedings on
the part of wholesale firms, it was con-
sidered unwise to allow such exposures
to be made public, from the fact that
the party making them might get into
trouble.

They Want Inspection.

Paul Engels, treasurer of the st. Paul
Meat and Provision company, says: 81
notice that c. j. Buell.. of Minneapolis,
writes to the GLOBE, under date of
April g. that Senator Scheffer is presi-
dent of the st. Paul Stock Yards and
Packing House company, and that he
introduced the live stock inspection bill
in the interests of South st. Paul. SEN
atOr Scheffer is not in any way con-
nected with the South st. Paul stock
yards and packing houses, nor with any
stock yards whatever. He was at one
time president of the st. Paul Meat and
Provision company, a concern which is
as near to Minneapolis as to st. Paul,
but he sold his interest in that COM
pany, and since Jan. l he has been
president only in name. He introduced
the inspection bill at the earnest re-
quest OF the farmers and their repre-
Sentatives in the senate and house, and
because he realized the great value it
would be to the state, especially from a
sanitary standpoint. He did not intro
duce 1t to benefit any particular CON-
pany or community"

SUCCEEDED BY SMITH.
Assistant superintendent Moss, of
the Railway Mail Service, Re-
lieved by a Republican.

ieVeu Dy RepuDIICan.
Supt. Perkins, of the Tenth division
railway mail service, has appointed j. S.
Smith, late chief clerk of the Chicago
and Minneapolis lines of the railway
mail service, to the position of assistant
perintendent. to succeed L. j. Moss.
relieved.
Assistant Superintendent Smith is an
eX-captain of Hancoek's veteran corps
and has been in the railway mail service
since he was mustered out of the army.
He was born in Peterboro, n. H., after
wards going to Chicago, though still re-
tanning his position as adjutaLt of the
Sixth New Hampshire volunteers. He
served with distinction during the war,
and is well known character in Grand
Army circles. Since 1882, and until re-
ceiving his present appointment. he has
been chief clerk of the Chicago and
Minneapolis branch of the service.
L. J. Moss, who is succeeded by MIR.
Smith, is a resident of Usage, 10. He is
twenty-six years of age, has public
school and college education, and has
studied law. Entering the mail service
on the c.. st. 2. d K. C. in February,
1887, as clerk of Class l, he passed his
final examination in few months. and
was promoted to Glass 3; transferred to
the st. Paul and Mandan route in Octo-
Der, and promoted to Glass 5 in Novem-
Der, 1883. He was promoted to be chief
clerk of the division, and made assistant
superintendent March 3, 1889. Mr.
Moss is one of the best known young
men in Iowa; was deputy treasurer of
Mitchell county four years, and is now
grand chancellor of the knights of
PythiaS of that state, and prominent in
many other institutions. His departure
is regretted by those who have had bus
mess with the division office.
Every Democratic superintendent and
assistant superintendent in the country
has been displaced to make way for
those of the Republican faith, and the
chief clerks are being reached very
fast. The service will soon be entirely
in new hands.

The legal contest between Messrs.

neyship advanced another stage yes
terday. Attorney General Clapp filed

to have the testimony taken before a
jury, but this was refused, and the
court appointed Clerk Jones, of the SUI
preme court, as referee to take testi-
mony under three days notice. A re-
turn has to be made within ten days.

Herbert G. Stout was brought before
United States Commissioner Spencer
yesterday afternoon for preliminary ex-
animation upon the charge of robbing
the mails in the postal car which left
st. Paul JaSt Saturday at 5:45 p. m. for
points between here and Council Bluffs,
10. Stout waived examination to await
the action of the grand jury. But two
witnesses were examined. l.. j. A.
Hoist, of Council Bluffs, messenger on
the train, testified to what he saw occur
between Inspector Flemming and the
prisoner, at the time of Stout's arrest.
That the letters were found upon
StOuts person and that he saw Stout
take package containing fifty-two let
ters from the Mandan pouch and put it
in bis overcoat pocket. w. S. Wescott
testified to seeing Stout put certain let
terS in his hip pocket, where the in
was fixed at 81 900, the accused to ap-
pear at the June term of the district
court, to be held at Winona. Immedl-
ately after the hearing Stout was re-
turned to the custody of the sheriff
Rev. James f. Stout, brother 70 the
prisoner, called upon him in the morn
ing. and as soon as bail was fixed, he
hurried about to secure it. About 5
O'Clock in the afternoon two prominent
citizens of st. Paul had signed the
bond. The marshal released Stout,
after the bond was accepted, and no
one seemed more relieved than Stout,
who all during his confinement has
been sitting in the corridor of the jail
perfectly silent and apparently lost in
meditation. A newspaper was placed
before him Sunday morning, and was
found untouched Yesterday. AS soon
as released the prisoner hurried to his
family. In speaking of the crime to
some of the postoffice officials yester-
day. it was learned that most of them
believed that Stout of late had become
quite drinking man. Looking back
over period of two years or so, some
OF them say that there were known in
stances, and many of them, too,
where money was lost on StOut's
run. Notwithstanding that suspicion
was first directed toward Stout
about month ago, and that
it is barely possible that his stealings
were discovered when first practiced,
it is very probable that the robberies'
have been successfully operated for
long time, and that Stout has either the
fruits of his doings safely stored away,
or has found other means of spending
his Stealings than upon his family OF
other regular ways. -

RUG ER'S NEW TERRITORY.
The State of Wisconsin Tackled on
to the Department of Dakota.

A dispatch from Washington to the
GLOBE states that by direction of the
president the state of Wisconsin has
been transferred from the military de-
partment of the East to the department
of Dakota. While the order will add
considerable territory to the department
of which Gen. Thomas NJ. Ruger is COM
mander, it will not increase the number
of men under him. There are no regu-
lars on duty in the Badger state. and
all the old forts were long since aban-
doned. Officers at headquarters are
puzzled as to the meaning of the order,
as under the circumstances Wisconsin
might as well be attached to Samoa, for
all there is in it.

Mayor Smith has called a special

to take action on the appeal for aid sent
out by residents of Sully county, Oak,
who were scourged last week by prairie
fires. That no time may be lost in min
istering to the wants of the distressed
Dakotians, the mayor has dispatched
Henry A. Campbell, the well-known
real estate man, to investigate cases re-
Quiring immediate assistance, he being
authorized to draw on st. Paul for
money and supplies to any amount that
his Judgment may dictate. The cham
Der of commerce having indorsed the
plan to appropriate 5000 from the city
treasury for expenditure among the
sufferers, it is probable that the council
at its meeting tonight will make an
appropriation for that purpose.

The district judges seemed to have
the ''blues" yesterday afternoon. The
panel of jurors was exhausted Satur-
day, and the new venire issued that
evening not responding until this morn
ing. what judges did occupy the
bench heard court cases Only, say e
Judge Kerr who held the continued
special term begun Saturday. Judge
Villas took up court cases in the main
room, and sat until noon. The litiga-
ton before him was technical, and un-
interesting to the public generally.
Judge Kerr listened to the plalntive
wall of two fair, but careworn women
seeking divorces. The case of Eliza
beth Fisher against John L. Fisher was
first taken up. She charged her hus-
band with cIuel and inhuman treatment
and proved to the court that Fisher was
very dangerous person to live with.
He did not discriminate between the
treatment he bestowed upon his dog or
children, abusing both until the inter
ference of the neighborS was necessary
to shield her and her children from
great bodily harm. She wanted barb
wire fence built between herself and
husband, and an order from the court
that he Craze in his own field, leaving
the result of their ruffled matrimony in
her custody. The court directed de-
cree after her liking, and thus again
was the old story ended.
The next woman of long and tireSome
experience who impiOred the judge for
relief from her tippling husband was
Regina Hofsiss. Her story was to the
effect that her husband, Elias Hofsiss,
very often found it gratifying to his
base procliyities to make target of
her. On one occasion, when he
imagined that he had been fooled
into eating a rubber boot stew, he
waxed very warm and proceeded to
furnish. a funeral for the neighors.
So he biaZed away at his better half,
but, being poor shot, he only pune
tured her hand with bullet. This sort
of conduct Mrs. Hofsiss didn't care to
suffer any longer. hence the proceeding
in court yesterday. The judge granted
the divorce. AT the conclusion of these
cases Judge Kerr adjourned his court
until this morning.
