few companies Of 100 men each, to be

thinks, is evidently an Improvement,

tFary, the presence Of . whole regiment

not c~ountenance their being used il war

PAPA-IN-LAw A PEER.
Weu-Connected Englishman
Charged With Forgery.

An extremely well-dressed young
man, giving his name at the central
police station as r. M. Crowley, was
arrested last evening by Officer Rose,
on complaint of c. A. Clarke, an adver1-i
Using agent, who charges him with
forgery. The prisoner is an English
man, apparently less than twenty,
five years old. Clark stated that
Crowley had been employed by him as,
clerk, and that recently he had been,
crowding the pace beyond the local
limit. The forgery complained of is in
connection with Il check for $40 on the
Commercial National bank, drawn by;
William I'll. Mead in favor of G..
A. Clarke. The latter claims that
Crowley Endorsed the check in his name
and obtained the money on it. When
he became aware of the facts he deter-
mined to have Crowley arrested and.
as he expresses it, taught lesson. The
prisoner was seen at the station last.
night by representative of the GLOBE,
The story he tells of the trouble
which resulted in his arrest is a very
different one from that rccited by,
Clarke. Crowley admits having III
dorsed the check and received the
money. He denies being a clerk
for Clarke, stating that he and
Clarke were i'll partnership in
an advertising scheme. They
were on equal terms, rented no office
and employed no clerks. The clleuue,
he says, came into his hands in the reg
uiar transaction of the firms business,
and he Endorsed it in his partners
name as matter of course, holding
that there could be no question
of his right TO do so.
Clarke and Crowley, together with
some associates, were together III a
saloon near the Merchants hotel, on
Jackson street, when a dispute arose
between them in regard TO the conduct
of the business, and they came to
blows. Crowley states that lie
struck Clarke for using language to-
wards him which he felt bound to re-
sent. Both men show marks of the en-
counter. Clarke claims to be the adver-
tisIng agent of several ST. Paul and
Minneapolis publications, and says he
resides at the Holmes hotel, iii
the latter city. Crowiey's father is Il
man prominent in the London financial
quarter. and his brother-in-law is peer
of the realm. He is general fivorite
among his associates here. His arrest
he characteriZes as a pure piece of
malice, and he is confident OF being ac-
Quilted OF either actual or intended
wrong

IMPROVED MAIL FACILITIES.

A New Box Collection System That
Will Be Appreciated.
Postmaster Lee and Capt. Hardacre,
superintendent of free delivery. have
consumnated plan for the improve
ment of the postal facilities of the city
that will meet with general apprnba-
ton. Under the system of mail eollec-
ton which has, up to this time, OBJ
tanned, it was impossible to make a
morning collection i'm season for early
mails, and there was no certainty that
that letters mailed in boxes in residence
portions of the city would go out Oh the
early mails. To remedy this, the local
department has arranged what it calls
star route collections. Certain mail
boxes in various localities have been
painted red; these red boxes will be
emptied by special mail collectors every
night at 10 O'Clock, and the public, by
locating the red ones. may be sure of
the prompt collection of their mails.
The carriers, ELI route home in the even
lngS, will transfer matter from the green
to the red boxes, and the latter will be
emptied bv mounted collectors. For
convenience in the collection, the city
will be divided into four routes, as fol-
lows:
First-Includes East Third. Earl, East Sew
enth. Bradley ard Collins streets, Lafayette
avenue and jackson street.
Second includes Wabasha and Rice
streets, Western, Como and University ave
nues, Dale, Carroll st. Peter ard Tenth
streets.
Third-Includes Dayton avenue, Victoria
street, summit avenue. West Third street,
Pleasant avenue, West Seventh street -
Fourth Includes South Wabasha. Concord
Congress and South Robert streets being the
West side trip.
The regular night collections will lie
made from the business portions of the
city as heretofore.
