NOSING AFTER CRIME,
Regular Monthly Inaugural
ton Of the Seareh-Light
Drill.
Some People From the
Twelfth Ward Under
Fire.
Harlow Gales Market Still
Seems Afar Off in the
Future.
General News of a Day Gath
cred by Vigilant Globe
Reporters.

The grand jury is at it, and every man
in Hennepin county who has done any
thing wrong during the past month is
sleeping in the coal bin. This grand
jury seems to be a peculiar body, judg-
ing from what they are considering.
Yesterday afternoon the jury took up
the case of the street railway employees
working on Sunday. 1t will be remem-
bered that the street railway company
was anxious to complete the laying of
tracks on the Bloomington electric hne
before winter came in, and some local
preachers objected to the work being
done on Sunday.
The corridor leading TO the jury room
was filled during good part of the day
with "brOnZed veterans" from tile SOL
diers' home, which meant that the al
legged Twelfth ward election scandal
was being investigated. The accusa-
ton is the Influencing of voters by the
use of whisky. The men at whom the
investigation is said to be aimed are
Aid. Woodward, Harry Cramer, Elmer
Foster, the base balliSt, and Will FOs-
ter, his brother.
As usual. when the grand jury meets,
there is good deal of talk about prose-
cutiOn of gamblers and keepers of
houses of ill-tame. When inStructing
the grand jury Judge LOchren said very
specifically, ''If it comes to your knOwl-
edge that there are gambling houses or
houses of prostitution. it is your duty to
find indictments against them. They
are crimes against the law and the COM
munity." He impressed the fact that if
any member of the body had any knOwl-
edge of any wrong doing, it was his
duty to bring it before the star chamber
assembly. But that is as far as the in
veStigatIOn is likely to go.
n case of shooting which occurred at
private Nicollet avenue hotel one day
last week is also being considered. 1t
seems that there was little difference
of opinion between Frank Baxter, one
of the walters, and Fred Lilley, also an
emplOye of the house. High words
arose, and finally Baxter left the kitchen,
returning shortly after loaded for bear.
He stood on the stairway, and, drawing
a revolver, fired at Lilley twice, the
balls not taking effect except in the
woodwork of the building. Baxter has
gone to Chicago. aud the police there
have been telegraphed to arrest him.
Other eases under consideration are
those OF Matt Kerrin. who is charged
with criminal assault upon the person
of little Nina Anderson, pretty little
child about eight years of age. and Zehu
Lackey, the young man who attempted
TO run away with bicycle from 1903
Franklin avenue.

COMMITTEE ON MARKETS.
Harlow Gale Tells What He is
Going to do by January 1.

The committee on markets met yes
terday afternoon in the city hall. The
committee will formulate and submit to
the council a suggestion advocating the
passage of an ordinance requiring deal
ers to sell potatoes and onions by weight.
Hitherto these vegetables have been
sold in baskets, buyers being under the
impression that each basket held a
bushel. A bushel of potatoes weighs
60 pounds, and the same quantity OF
onions 90 pounds. The committee say
it is frequently alleged that the baskets
in common use at the markets will not
hold 50 pounds of the one or SO Of the
other. The ordinance if passed and en-
forced will end such complaints.
Harlow Gale, who. until last June.
held an important franchise giving him
the control Of Central market, was sum-
m0ned before the committee during the
afternoon. 1t has become necessary to
increase the c0nveniences and 10 en-
large the central market. A change of
site and the erection of new buildings
will alone accomplish these objects. Aid.
Gray wanted to know of Mr.. Gale how
far his plans had developed in regard
to the proposed new market. Mr.. Gale
replied that he had obtained a refusal
Vi LuC REOullu slO Uc uSGu dS q SlLS, anu
hoped to be ahle to buy it by Jan. l. By
the first of next June he hoped to have
the ground ready. He could not speak
positively about the buildings. but did
not think he could possibly have them
ready at the same time. The garden
ers, however, could use the grounds
while the market house was being
erected. The committee might rest as
ured that if he, Mr.. Gale, could raise
the money the ground would be pur-
chased by Jan. l.
After the departure of Mr.. Gale the
committee Informally discussed the new
market house matter. In the absence
of Aid. Potter the committee concluded
to take no action until next meeting,
Tuesday afternoon next. Aid. Gray
does not. it is inferred, place much re-
lance upon Mr.. Gales statements. and
would like TO hear from that gentleman
something more substa initial than PROM
ises. 1t is possible that the franchise
formerly held by Mr.. Gale may, at an
early date, be advertised for sale.

A Former Roadmaster of the Min
neapOlis & ST. Louis Found
Dead.
F. S. Palmetier, formerly roadmaster
of the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis road,
but of late night switchman in the
Omaha yards in this city. was found
dead in his watch house yesterday
morning about o'clock. Palmetier
was stationed at the intersection of First
street and Fourth avenue north. The
ers accompanied the patrol wagon that
man and pronounced the cause of the
death to be heart disease. The
remains were conveyed to Con-
nelly's mOrgue. and an autopsy will
probably be made to-day. A son of the
deceased, who is also railroad man.
said his father had a paralytic stroke
two years ago and has been ID delicate
health ever since its occurrence. He
was about sixty years OF age, widOwer
and the father Of several grown-up
children.
When in the employ OF the Minneapo-
lis d st. Louis road, Mr.. Palmetier was
held in high esteem. He had evidently
died quickly and painlesSly. When dis
covered yesterday morning his body re-
posed partly in cot and partly on the
floor. A parOXySm of pain followed by
violent muscular contraction had pos
sibiy thrown him from the bed. His
body was quite warm when found. and
none Of h duties had been left undone.

A Sorrowing Bride.

Hannah Capsida visited police head
quarters yesterday afternoon seeking

came all business ceased, the broad
doors were thrown open and all were
hidden to the feast for the eye. Every
moment the crowd seemed 10 grow
denSer. But 1t was good-humore
crowd. All were there for one object
the qualification of the sense of sight.
On the balcony, and midway between
the first and second floors, was stationed
the band of the Third regiment, United
States infantry, from Fort Smelling.

tions OF the masters in harmony were

Twas festive night. The great store
seemed more like peoples pleasure
garden than like the home of trade.
There were features of the opening
worthy OF extended mention, but space
fOrbids. 1t would be unjust, however,
to pass without comment the industrial
exhibit on the West side of the first
floor. There was model OF cotton
mill in Minneapolis, steamboat bring
ing cotton from the shores of the guilt 10
the foot OF st. Anthony falls, cotton
plantation. railroads. WOODEN mill. an
ancient spinning wheel and its little
mistress. On the other side of the
passage were piled samples of goods
which will be made in the
Minneapolis linen mills, samples of
flax, both in the natural state and pre-
pared for spinning. Special prominence
was given to goods now made, or soon 10
be manufactured, IN Minneapolis. On
every floor was something to catch the
eye, to arrest the attention. whether of
man, woman or child.
And the widow's-words will not do
justice to them. Santa Claus and his
reindeers were there and all that he is
expected TO bring the eXpectant little
ones. The Arctic scene on the Mic
Ollet side was work of art. There
was brig, tull! m nned. caught in an
ice foe. On could almost
hear the ice grind against her
staunch sides. And the fine
snow Sifted over the whole, gently tall
ing, falling, while the aurora borealiS
transformed the icebergs into countless
priSmS.
All entering the store were charged
five cents admission. MIR. Donaldson
estimated that he would thus raise $500
for charity.
