A. E. Hauser and Jennie Lyons have
been wondering for some time whether
they were really married or net. They
were militant members of the Salvation
Army, one of the regulations of which
requires special permit from "Gen."
Booth for any of It's members to marry.
Mr.. Hauser was so deeply in love
with Miss Lyons that he could not
wait for the necessary prelfmfnaries, so
on the advice of a man who once had an
office in the GLOBE building, but who is
now in Dakota, they were married by
him with no other witnesses. He rep
resented himself to be notary public,
justice OF the peace and gen.
eral 'Poo-Bah;" so the mno-
cent young couple lived on
for two months in all the joys of newly
united matrimony. Some qualms seem
to have affected them, however, Or it
was suggested to them that they were
not legally married. As between
themselves of course they were
man and wife. but there was
no evidence to prove a marriage.
They therefore took out marriage
license, and were remarked by Rev.
George FL. Schram, of North st. Paul.

feeling that the nuptial knot has been
tied so tight that nothing short of a. di-

Buildings to Completion.
A meeting of the board of managers
ofgthe state reformatory was held yes
terday at the ST. Paul Office of the pres
ident, Hon. Gordon E. Cole. No i'm
portant business came before the meet
ing aside from the auditing of current
bills, of which none amounted to over
soy. and the adoption of a resolution
authorizing the superintendent, Hon.
ID. e. Myers. to advertise for bids for
the construction of the addition to the
buildings now existing at st. Cloud.
Senator Smith reported the favorable
progress of legislation towards the ap-
propriation for this purpose. The
original building contains eighty cells.
and the addition to be built will. in
crease the number of cells to 12S.
These cells are 6xs feet. and 8 feet
high, with front of open lattice work.
They are more compatible with the
tastes of youths requiring reformation
than the ordinary cells of prison.
The reformatory will receive persons
convicted on the first offense, from
twenty one to thirty years of age, and
the efforts will be towards taking its
inmates out of the ranks of the Grim
inaI classes.
The buildings are of brick with gran
lite foundations, occupying a magnifi-
cent site on the Mississippi at St.

A FREE MAN AGAIN.
Solar, Slayer of the Bohemian

At 10 O'clock last night, Andrew
Solar, tried twice for the murder of
John Kohout, the Bohemian BulI,o
oncea reigning terror on the Polish
flats, was acquitted by the jury and
made free man. The charge against
him was murder in the second
degree and the accused was one
of six Polanders who are held
for the murder, which was COM
mitted Dee. 10. The case was
tried about two months ago, the jury
after long deliberation disagreeing.
At the last trial additional testimony
was introduced, and the case. if any
ting, strengthened In favor of the de-
PENDANT. The jury retired yesterday at
3 o'clock, and returned last night with a:
verdict of acquittal. The effect upon
Solar was stunning, and he was
hardly able to stagger out of his:
chair and make his way to the
jury. Shaking hands and expressing
his thanks as best he could, he dashed
out of the court room, informing those
in his way that he was dying to see his
wife and children. A heather reformer
who happened to obstPuct Sofar's flight,
stopped the released prisoner and told
him to be sure and avoid any beer ban

the trains standing in the depot. At
yesterdays meeting number of plans
were submitted. and a choice of those

they will be ITO feet wide, and will
cross over Broadway. The estimated
cost is $4,000. Work will be COM

SCOTT WILL MANAGE LIE.

Tom Lowry and the Davidsons
Make a Dicker, and St. Paul Will
Have a Theater.
The opera house deal went through
yesterday, and the weight of anxiety
which has pressed so YEARLY upon the
mind of the general public is now
lifted. Considerable pressure had
been brought to bear upon the David
sons when Thomas Lowry announced
the fact that they could not agree about a
price. But the .DavidSOuS re-Opened
negotiations. and yesterday afternoon
tile deal went through. The property
consists of 80 feet on Fifth, % on
Wabasha and 100 on Fourth street,

Taylor & Craig. will clear away
the old buildings which now
cucumber it, and the plans for
the new building will be examined
as soon as possible and contracts
awarded. No expense will be spared to
make the theater the most complete
west of Chicago, and the whole building
is to cost little short of ambition dollars.
There is rumer that the hitch between
the negotiating parties was only over
the cost of removing the rink and other
buildings. As final basis of operations
they decided to abide by the decision of
Mr.. Craig, of TAYLOR Sc Craig. The con-
sequence is that the Davidson estate
will sell the property and st. Paul will
have an opera house that will knock
everything else west of New York silly.

OF living by refusing him every sort of

But to return to my early prosecutions. A

who. looking at it with some disparagement
said that in its present Obliterated state it
would pass for only about four cents, but if
l would bury it for an hour the original
figures would show themselves and it would
pass for its full value; or, what would be
better, let it remain in the ground for day
and it would grow to a shilling. This an
nOuncement struck me with wonder and de-
light. so off we started for the garden to
plant the smooth SXpence. After making
the interment and carefully marking it with
headstone we departed. l went back to
the house and whispered the whole affair
into the ears of Mary; she denounced the
operation as fraud, and bid me hurry and
get my siXpence if ever expected to see it
again. l started off at full run for the
garden. The headStOne was there, but the
siXpence had gone. The body snatcher had
accomplished his cruel work. Throwing
myself on my back and kicking my heels in
the air, 1 soon made the neighborhoOd ring
with my frantic yells. The family rushed
out and l detailed to them the dark plot of

were probably as clean, that day anyway,
AS the tables from which these men would
have eaten in their homes. The bathing
house was a shed, with eight tanks, where
they are compelled to wash every night
after their dirty work in the coal. That
was the most undisguised blessing about
the place.
The cells were two stories high, with a
double set in each wing. and a corridor
round the whole. They were warmed by
great stoves. Fuel being cheap. there is no
reason why the men should suffer from
cold. The cells themselves were small,
possibly six feet each way, with only a
small barred window, six inches square. for
light and air. They must be frightful in
summer night, The beds were straw ticks
and a pair of colored-very much coored
blankets. Every tick had been fresh
filled, and clean slip drawn over it.
When the cOnvicts would have such good
luck again no one asked; but an amused
smile played round the corners of more than
one pair of lips as the warden. in an off
hand manner, turned down blanket after
blanket, and pointed out the clean, comfort
able bed. We happened to know that. as
rule, in convict camps the straw ticks are
filled and washed just twice year.
We saw guns and handouts and chains
when closet door was inadvertently
opened; but the cruel strap was kept out
of sight.
On the whole. the superficial view of this
system as displayed at Tracy City showed
that there, at least. the convict has about as
good quarters and treatment as the mules
along with which he works-nothing more,
nothing better. But that is only one camp,
and only one side of that. There is another
side. another picture, which may be given
another time.
AS for anything which could lead in the
least degree to repentance and reformation,
there was no trace.-B. c. B., in Christian
