A New Registration.

Yesterday LIGHT reporter was in
formed that Mr.. Ed. billiard, the pop
ular register clerk of the post Office
was to be married at night, but as this
statement has been made several
times previously he did believe it. 1t
was, however, true, for at night Mr..
billiard was married to Miss Ida Berg
mann at the residence of her father,
on South Alamo street. This, how
ever, didn't disturb the even tenor of
Mr.. billiards. ways, for he bought an
alarm clock and was at business at
five o'clock this morning as usual.
Mr.. billiard has many friends who are
congratulating him upon his happi-
ness, which congratulation he &C.
knOwledges in a most becoming way.

A SHOOTING CASE
That is Said to Have Been CauS-
ed Too Much Love and
Color,

SOlOTs
Police Officer w. b. Taylor, was
patrolling his beat last night on
Nueva street, when he heard pistol
shots fired. He ran to the spot locat-
ed, and found considerable excite
ment at the Black Elephant. Draw
ing his pistol, he went in the house
and saw there Sam Graves, who is
said to be the colored son of promi-
nent white citizen, very much excit-
ed, holding pistol in his hand, and
he admitted doing the shooting. On
seeing Taylor, Graves said, II sup
pose you want me, and I am glad
you've come, for 1 know you are a
friend of mine. These men wanted to
get the dead wood on me and I
thought / would get it on them The
men referred to were Mike Heron
and w. l.. LOwther. Both are hack
drivers and both were uninjured.
From the facts adduced it is not clear
whether the shooting was the result
of a race war or love scrape, but the
latter is most probable. Graves was
arrested for carrying pistol and Her
ron and Lowther were taken up for
quarreling and fighting. Heron
pleaded guilty and slipped through on
a s. fine. Graves was fined $40 and 20
days in Jail but Lowther's case is con-
tinued. This will be contested and
the truth may come out showing
Graves is somewhat justified in his
illegality by reason, if not in law.

A Sudden and Fearful TRAGEDY.

FOsTERIA, March S.-This town is
torn up over a terrible tragedy
which occurred here last night. For
some time VIM. Gessler Of this place
has been working at the glass factory
in Findlay. Last night he came here
and went to his wlfe's parents, where
his wife had been living, during his
absence, accompanied by his brother
in-law. The wife was called to the
door by Gessler. The brother-in-law
who was standing in the back ground,
heard Gessler ask his wife
a question which he did not under
stand; she answered mo-" and
quick as flash, Gessler drew re-
volver and shot her, the ball enter
ing her hip. She staggered into the
house, when he shot her in the neck,
and she fell dying on the floor. Cess
Ter then placed the revolver against
the front of his own neck and shot,
the ball passing through the neck,
killing him instantly. 1t was all
done so quickly nobody could inter-
fere. The cause of the deed is not
known, but it is supposed to be jeal-
OuSy.

TIM BYRNES' DOUBLE.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette's
Washing ton correspondence on June 16
contained the following, which will be
interesting here:
A young Ohioan, who enjoyed the distinc.
ton at the Chicago national convention of
being the youngest delegate in that body, has
been having good time in Washington, ow-
ing to his remarkable resemblance to Mr..
Byrnes, the appointment clerk of the treas
ury. Mr.. Byrnes is at his home in Wisconsin
just now, but some friends. who ran across the
Ohioan and noticed his likeness to the Wis
consin man, conceived the idea of introduc-
ing him around as Byrnes' brother eThe joke
has resulted in the Ohio man being decorated
with boutonnieres by lady clerks in the treas
ury whenever he visits that department, and
in his receiving innumerable invitations to
drink from the male treasury clerks, who
want to stand solid with the Byrnes family.
The young fellow is not responsible for the
deception, eXcert in so far as his good nature
has restrained him from spelling the fun of
his new associates by denying his connection
with the appointment clerk, but the thing is
getting to be bore to him, and he is gradu-
ally getting out of the harmless affair.
1t is understood Tim deuies the Wis
consin charge, but admits bis brother
John may be masquerading in WASH
ington in his guise, reappointing DEM
ocrats. He leaves for the capital soon.

NOT WORTH NOTING.

The esteemed Journal yesterday in-
formed a subscriber that President
Harrison, during the first three months
of his administration, had made twenty
more removals than President Cleve-
land in the same period, and "the
difference is hardly worth noting when
compared with the whole" Of course
not: handful of Democrats is neither
here nor there when compared
with the whole. 1t is only
when Republicans are removed
that differences must be noted. 1t
ought to be noted, however, that Harri-
son has gotten ahead of his predecessor
without the aid of Sunday work, a proof
Of the assertion made at the recent
Sabbath convention, that pious man
can do more work in six days than bad
man in seven, because on Sunday he
has time to think and reflect. President
Harrison has evidently been thinking
and rejecting. Brother Wanamaker
is also a thinker from way back.

MEN WHO SUCCEED.

Minneapolis is without peer in this
country as the city in which talent dis
covers itself and forces itself to the
front. Examples are not infrequent of
men taking lead in politics in their
: first year of residence here, cap

at the next succeeding election. There
is something about the Minnesota at

A GENUINE EVICTION.
The Park Commission May Be in
the Soup.


the Soup.
There is likely to be trouble over the
forcible evictions at the state park on
Saturday afternoon. Some attorneys
claim that the park commission had no
right to tear down buildings without
due process of law. Mrs. Collar. who
lived in house near the old pavilion,
was given half an hour to move. and
refusing to do so. the house was
literally pulled down about her
ears. The photographer overlooking
the falls showed fight at first and exhlb-
tied large gun, but when policeman
approached he forgot his pistol and
seized hammer, and then suddenly
concluded to surrender without a row.
J.B, Crooker, of Crooker & Hutfcut,
the firm that is conducting Mrs. Lin
coins case against the board, said yes
terday that the park board people had
gotten themselves into scrape. ''Ihey
had no right" he said, to enter upon
real estate and tear down buildings
without an order from the court. Ii
Mrs. Collar was my client, all the lead
erS in that eviction would be locked up
or out OH bail. There is one member of
that commission who was present
whom would like to see fined about
$780,"
1t is claimed the park commission was
acting under the authority of the attor-
ney general. No arrests have been
made vet.

OF about 800 or 400 people. was partic-
ularly obnoxious sprinkling- cart driver,
who, according to popular report,
has made himself wearisome to
a large number of people who have oc-
casion to use the crossings on NicOllet
avenue and Fourth street. He took oc-
casion to sprinkle the 'Pope" quite
freely at the corner of Fourth and Mic
ollet, and then drove up Fourth toward
Hennepin. Mr.. Gooding moved along
Fourth toward Geeseman & Murphy's
Office, where he was going, and the two
engaged in some words. Finally the
driver stopped to get drink at the W.
G. T. U. water barrel, and the
mild and judicial Gooding asked
him why he had done as he
had. He replied in an insulting
way and the ''Pope" conveyed to him
the information that he, the driver. was
dirty cur. The driver disagreed with
him, and the two took off their coats,
and, after Gooding had quietly removed
his spectacles and plug hat. they sailed
in. The "Pope" is something of
boxer, and he had soon exc
cuted an interior view of a
butcher shop in natural colors
on the face of his antagonist, who had
meanwhile raised lump or two Oh the
passive countenance of the ex-manager
of the ball team. The driver finally
cried enough and the fight was given to
Gooding. Nearly all the spectators
think the "Pope" was perfectly excusa-

to whether 1t is beer or linseed oil"
1.-The pail is here with the same stuff
in it" said the officer.
City Attorney Hall proposed to intro
duce expert testimony, and sent for the
pail. 1t was brought. and Mr.. Hall sug-
geSted that Judge HOllinS would be a
competent expert. The counsel for the
defense refused to testify against his
client, however. and Officer DelanO
dipped his dark-dyed mustache into the
liquor, spat out the stale lager and testi-
fed that it was beer. The man who
bought 1t testified that he got it of
Lessing.
The defendant then took the stand
and swore that he didn't sell the wit
ness any beer, but on cross-examina-
ton admitted that he might have done
so, and got generally tangled up in his
story so that the judge asked him If he
wasn't lying.
"Vell," said he, 81 don't speak Eng
lish pooty goot areaty, and don't make

"Well." remarked Judge Emery, ''if
you can lie any faster in German than
you can in English don't care to hear
you talk. You may pay fine OF 500,
and your license is hereby revoked"
''Phat? p? !"
"YOu will pay fine of 500 and your
license is revoked" repeated the judge.
The red-faced German looked ready
to faint, and sat stock still for mo-
ment, and then went out of the court
room to confer with the clerk regarding
the fine. 1t is doubtful if lie realizes
yet the full extent of his sentence,

This IS the first case of revocation of

be an appeal and test of the ordinance.
The fact that Lessing testified falsely
was what made him the first subject for
the exercise of this new power.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The general verdict of the large audi
ence that witnessed the performance Of
Audran's comic opera. "The Mascot"
at Harris Hennepin Avenue theater
last night, was that rarely in the his
tory of Minneapolis has more excel
lent and pleasing performance Of this
opera been given. There was laughter
and applause from the rise to the fall
of the curtain, and nearly all of the
principals were recalled again and
again. The cast was almost without a.
fault. better choice or distribution of
the characters being almost impossible.
Miss Kirwin, of course, carried off the
honors, and she made charming Bet
tina. The little lady is an artist in the
best sense of the word. She is at all
times thoroughly at earnest, and seems
to possess the wonderful faculty of
throwing all her energies into the work
in hand. Mr.. Kohnle received a tre-
mendOus welcome, and again proved
himself genuine humOrist. His addi-
tions to the text were as comical as his
antics, and he received encore after
encore Mr.. Conlv was heard
to excellent advantage as PipA
pO, and he really Outdidz
himself on this occasion. Miss Verona
acquitted herself handsomely, present.
ing not only fine appearance, but she
was in excellent voice. Mr.. Denick was
inimitable, and charmed the audience
with his humor. The minor parts were
in excellent hands, chorus and orches-
ira were splendid, the opera was
dressed with the usual admirable taste,
and, as whole, the performance may
be said to have been superb one. This
afternoon there will be souvenir
matinee, and 1.-The Mascotte" will be
the attraction at Harris theater the rest
of the week.
Manager Conklin has billed every
town within radius of fifty miles Of
Minneapolis with the coming engage
ment at the Grand opera house, June %

are received. The advance sale of sea-
son tickets will commence at the Grand
