ON HAND EARLY.
The New City Officials Are Not a
Bit backward.

The newly elected city officials were
on hand yesterday morning with a
promptness that will be commended
hereafter if followed as rule. City
Attorney r. D. Russell sent for books
and papers pertaining to the Office be-
fore ex-City Attorney Smith had got
fairly settled in his office chair. Charles
F. Haney appeared at the city clerks
office, and took charge right away. f.
NJ. Clark, who is to be his assistant as
soon as he learns the run of the office,
and Lewis G. Cosad. who, with Mrs. s..
j. DoXtrader, will constitute the force,
also answered "present" bright and
early. Frank Lieben remains as in
structor for a couple of months. A. j.
Mullen and Mrs. Minnie Grimshaw are
superseded. j. F. Calderwood received
the comptroller's books. and will have
Joshua Rogers as a clerk. The law
only allows $1,000 for an assistant. so
the office should hardly be designated
by that name. E. V. Harmon. who has
filled the place, will go to work for the
Dual City Collecting agency. John
Vert qualified as superintendent of the
work house. and will take charge Sat-
urday. Capt. Snyder did not show up
at the Office OF the superintendent of the
poor, but has indicated his intention OF
retaining Lars Owre as an assistant,
who has given faithful service in that
position for nearly four years.

We shall continue to tell you OF
things which must be closed out be-
fore stOcktaking, but please don't
expect us to attempt to tell you OF
a tenth of the articles upon which
we have cut prices to the quick i'll
order to get the room they occupy.
1t would only confuse you. Be-
sides, two hours after they ap-
peared in print many of them would
have completely disappeared,
greatly to the disappointment OF
later comers. It's the odds and
ends in every department which
have felt the pruner's knife most
keenly.
To-day we want to call special at
tention
FIRST---To a line of CLOAKINGS
unequaled for style, quality and
serviceability. The quantity has
been greatly reduced, but the con-
tinued mild weather leaves us
more than we need. We prefer to
take less than cost for them to giy-
ing them shelf room.
So good all opportunity for great
Bargains was never offered be-
fore.
SECOND---A lot of BLANKETS
which were used in trimming a
show window and became slightly
soiled, but are perfect in other re-
spects.
The Sc quality we have marked
down to S4.75; the $3.50 quality
down to S2.75; the $3 quality down
to $3.50.
THIRD---A few very handsome
ROBE BLANKETS which were de-
layed in coming beyond our calcula-
tiOns.
You can have them q long way
under value.
FOURTH---Some particularly de-
sirable things in SACQUE1NG
FLANNELS, FANCY FLANNELS,
FRENCH FLANNELS, etc. There
are several qualities, and prices
are made expressly to clean them
out.

Signatures to Deed.
W. G. J. Harmann, a leading member
of the Bethleham Presbyterian church,
was arrested On charge of forgery last
evening, and now occupies a cell
at the First precinct police station.
Yesterday afternoon George Harri-
son, crockery dealer, residing at 9605
Stevens avenue, appeared at the mu-
nicipal court and asked for a warrant
for the arrest of Mr.. Hartmann on a
charge of forging the names of George
and Sarah E. Harrison to deed
and obtaining $1,000 on it. 1t
appeared that Mr.. and Mrs.
Harrison owned some land
in Swift county, and few days
ago when they went to sell it they
found it already sold. According to
Mr.. Harrison's story he began an in
vestlgation and found that in June last
Mr.. Hartmann had transferred the prop
erty to Mary A. Kelly, the ostensible
signatures Of Harrison and wife being
witnessed by Hartmann and W. 3. Wal
nell.
A warrant for Harmann's arrest was
issued and given'to Inspector Hoy to
serve. He went to Harmann'S resi-
dence at Z o'clock last night and found
Hartmann with his wife and child. Har-
mann made decided protest, and re-
peatedly asserted his innocence. He
was so vehement coming in on the
motor that well-dreSSed stranger, who
refused to give his name, became so
convinced of his innocence that he
wanted to bail him out.

A FEW CHANGES
Made by the Elections in the Ma
tiOna1 Banks,

The second Tuesday of January
brought the annual elections in thesey-
eral National banks of the city. involv-
ing changes in the directofates
of three OF four OF them.
The most important was the
National Bank of Commerce, where
Cashier William Powell resigned on ac-
count of ill health and has been succeed
ed by Fl. II. Thayer, who had been his
assistant. The new board includes four
new names, and it is held the bank has
been financially greatly strengthened.
The officers remain as heretofore. O..
Several changes were made in the
Nico]let national, but the officers in the
bank have not yet been decided upon.
There was a vacancy in the office OF
assistant cashier Occasioned by the
resignation of G. E. Braden, which will
be permanently filled to-day. Mr..
Braden becomes cashier Of the new
Metropolitan bank.
E. C. Whitney was added to the list OF
directors of the First National, and the
present officers and working force re-
tanned. No changes were made III the
Union, Northwestern and Flour City
banks.
1t was universally reported that the
past year had been profitable one,
notwithstanding several notable losses.
and the banks are all in fourishing
condition.

A REFRESHING BREAK.

It was decidedly refreshing to read in
a morning paper yesterday-a paper,
too, that has always supported Capt.
Babb with fervor approaching frenzy
+-the following:
Mayor Babb's message is bit disap-
pointing. 1t is silent on just the par
ticular themes whereOn the public
wanted to hear something. The mayor
the gambling house and the br0thel
than if such things never existed III
Minneapolis. He has not word
10 say about the police department.
and the wisdom or fallacy OF
continuing the police commission.
On the mooted questions of day labor
and the contract system he utterS never
word. On other matters of moment
he is silent as the grave. He says, in
Rn indefinite way, that there are cer-
tain questions which he has not time
Or space to discuss, but it looks to man
up a tree as though he might easily
have cut and condensed his comments
on less important and interesting topics
and made room for them.
Bless the innocent heart of the paper
that contained the above, why should
Mayor Babb "make allGsions," say
word" or cutter word' on the subjects
named? Election is over and he Is the
mayor, therefore, where is the necessity
of relieving himself of platitudes when
there are no votes to be caught? 1t has
perhaps dawned upon the new head of
the city that he had already,
before he took the oath of
office, laid down more policy
in one interview than he could execute
In four terms. He had given the good
and credulous people of Minneapolis a
bewildered sort of idea that as soon as
he grasped the scepter the local millen-
mum would down. What more could
they want? The plaintive wall of the
innocent morning paper ricochets
through ones risibles with the fresh
ness of pleasant gale over parched
desert

THOSE COW CASES.
Strong Evidence Brought Out
Against the Defendants.

Against the Defendants.
The grand jury found an Indictment
against William Carney, Ambrose
Barnes, George Hummell, Eugene Bart
lett and George Speck for grand larceny
in the first degree, and yesterday their
case came on for trial. Speck, however.
has never been arrested and is reported
to have left the state, and so when the
prisoners filed into the court room he
was not among them. Just before the
trial begun the county attorney an
nounced that Bartlett, the youngest
member OF the gang, had agreed to turn
states evidence, and so he had dis
missed the case against him. The charge
in the indictment was that the prison.
ers stole COW from the barn of Henry
Hanke on the night of the 9th OF De-
cember, and, after taking it to Speck's
butcher shop, 2909 Washington avenue
north, had butchered it. Bartlett testi-
fed to going with Carney and
Barnes to Hanke's place, near Lake
Calhoun, and taking the cow out
of the barn. He said they then tied 1t
behind their wagon and brought it to
Speck's shop, where they found Hum
nell and Speck, who assisted them to
kill and dress it. Officer Kennedy testi-
fed to seeing them after midnight
travelling along the street with the COW
tied behind their wagon. The next
night he in company with Officer Hall
went to the butcher shop about o'clock
in the morning and finding. Speck,
Hummell, Barnes, Bertlett and Carney
in the shop, arrested them. On search
ing the premises they found the dressed
carcass sDf Hanke's COW and large
quantity of stolen property, consisting
property was taken to the police station
where it was all identified and claimed
by the owners. The defendants made a
general denial to all the accusations
made by the states witnesses. The case
was given to the jury about p. III. and
when court adjourned had not yet
agreed on a verdict.
A verdict of not guilty was rendered.

A THIEVES PARADISE.
Each Morning Tells Tales of the
Busy Night Before.

Busy Night Before.
The police commission, instead Of
abolishing the detective force and then
detailing four men for special duty,
would confer great favor on suffering
humanity by enlarging it to sew
eral times its present size, siIa
putting on twenty-five or thirty more
patrolmen, or enough to properly care
for the city. Every one connected
with the police force, and great many
who are not, know that not night
passes without four or five burglarieS,
highway robberieS, OF safes blown. The
detective force has done considerable
good work of late, and has sent num-
Der of thieves, thugs, and tough people
out of the city; but the number of
burglaries does not diminish to any
great extent.
About IL o'clock Monday night Ole
Anderson, residing on Tenth street
southeast, was standing Oh the corner
of Second street northeast and Broad
way when he was approached by three
men. who, with revOlvers in their hands,
ordered him to put up his hands. He
did so, and one of the men went through
his pockets, taking Is cents and a
pocket knife. The men then Informed
him that he was not the man they were
looking for, and advised him to go
home. which he lost no time in
doing. Several officers started out
in pursuit of the three men, but
failed to md any trace Of them. A
grocer doing business on Tenth avenue
northeast reported that he had seen the
men around his place about 8 o'clock.
Judge j. M. Shaw, residing at 1905
Tenth avenue south, is another victim.
While he and his family were at supper
Monday evening sneak thieves secured
an entrance to the house and carried
away several hundred dollars worth
of jewelry lying on bureau.
No one appeared against William
Rubendahl and Dan Butley, arrested
while in the act of robbing man in the
rear of the Windsor, and they were
simply sent to the workhOusef for short
time.
The safe blowers who robbed the safe
in the office of the Gund Brewing com
pany, few nights ago, carried away
with them a horse and buggy, no trace
of which can be found.
The clothesline thieves are again at
work. Monday night line of valuable
garments was stolen from the yard of
I'll. B. Hartshorn, on Fourth avenue
south, near Thirty-second street.

GRIM-VISAGED WAR
Turned a Very Smooth Front on
RaWlinS Post Festivities.

The fourth annual supper and public
installation of officers OF John A.
Rawlins post, G. A. r., held at
the Nicollet house last evening,
was most enjoyable affair and
was attended by nearly 100 ladies
and gentlemen. The parlors were
handsomely decorated. and here the
reception proper was held, while band
stationed near the entrance to the din
ing room discOursed sweet music. The
social gathering lasted until 9:30, when
the doors of the dining room were
thrown open and the company was
ushered in to most sumptuous BAN
quet. The menu cards were works OF
art, and each guest preserved one as
souvenir. On the first page was large
colored engraving of the Grand Army
badge over tinted picture of battle
field. On the left-hand center page was
the menu and on the right was the list
of toasts. The diniugroom was most
artistically draped and hung with Grand
Army flags and the stars and stripes.
The electric lights lent dazzling bril-
liancy to the scene, which was simply
bewildering. The tables were laid the
length of the handsome dining room
and beautifully decorated with flow
ers and center pieces. A most
enjoyable supper was had. and
at the conclusion the following
officers were installed by Mayor Babb
with appropriate ceremonies: Com
mander. ii. A. Morton; senior vice COM
mander, William Brackett; junior vice
commander, F. c. Harvey; surgeon, w.
d. Myers; quartermaster, George W.
Marchant; officer of the day, Ira j.

ems; adjutant. j. Rogers; sergeant
major, j. c. Holman; Quartermaster's
sergeant, 6. w. Fox. The chaplain,
John Downs. was not present, so he
will be installed at later date.
At the conclusion of the installation
exercises the following toasts were re-
sponded to, and general good time in

REEVES WINS.
A Recount Gives Him a Plurality
of Two Votes.

The special council committee, con-
slsting of Aid. Loye, Downs, Bradish,
Vanderwarker and MCGOWAN, appoint
ed to make a recount in the case of con-
tested aldermanic seats consumed yes
terday in recounting the votes in the
the contest of F. A. Schwartz against
Vincent Reeves in the Tenth ward.
The official election returns showed
that Reeves received l1S votes, SchwartS
1O3, i'll the First precinct; Reeves 264.
Schwartz 279 in the Second precinct.
This made tie, each having received
3S2 votes. In the recount yesterday a
Reeves ballot with Schwartz paster
was thrown out. Five ballots were OBJ
jected to by Reeves and four by
Schwartz, most of them being ballots
upon which the term of years was not
specified or where the paster was so broad
as TO cover the name of the office. The
first count showed a difference of vote
in the First precinct from the official
returns, Reeves receiving III, Schwartz
1O4. The Second precinct stood: Reeves
262, Schwartz 275. This made tie
again, each receiving $40. A second
count was taken, resulting in the same
showing for the First precinct. In the
second precinct, however. Reeves re-
ceived 264, Schwartz 275. This gave
Reeves plurality of 2 votes. a third

MINNEAPOLIS
CITY AFFAIRS.

The long-expected has come at last.
The pet changes in the police system,
painfully hatched out after long and
secret session, have been made. Time
and influence can alone determine their
wisdom or the want of it. AS far as the
new superintendent is concerned,lt will
be conceded on all hands that Winn
Bracket promises well. Conf
dence Oh the part of the pub
lie, and respect throughout the
force will be the first effects of his ap-
pointment, and the GLOBE is disp sed
to congratulate the commission on this
step. Jacob Helm was well-meanlng
and honest man, but he lacked the eX-
ecutive head necessary TO the position.
The abolition of the assistant Superln-
tendent was also good move. Though
J. NJ. Hoy was a satisfactory oflcer,
the position was more or less orna-
mental only. 1t is question how
the change in the detective de-
partment will operate, and it
would be premature to commend or
criticlse it. The old force has not dis
tinguished itself to remarkable degree,
but it may not have been to blame. The
fact is, that ever since the Inauguration
of the commission system the entire
force has been demOraliZed, and far less
effective than usual. AS eX-Mayor
Ames aptly phrased it, their principal
occupation seemed to be lodging the
commissioners.
-
The commission will be given two
years more of trial. Beyond any doubt
the present legislature will defeat any
move TO repeal the act. The Democrats
have had two years of the law, and now
the Republicans will try it for the same
length of time. When the session of
1891 begins. it is dollars to doughnutS,
to use an expression of the street, that
the Republicans will be as anxious as
the Democrats to repeal the law.
@S
The new city officials rose with the
lark yesterday morning. The day had
scarcely been properly aired before they
descended upon the city hall, and with
more promptness than courtesy de-
manded the several offices. There was
no disposition to deny their request nor
keep them lingering in the cold, but
there was some little surprise at
the brusqueness which characterized the
demand. In many of the offices it made
no particular difference, but in others
there may be an afterclap. There is
unfinished business in the attorneys
department, and as the new official alb
ruptly demanded the books and papers
1t is probable the business may remain
unfinished, unless the city chooses to
Oay,
