HEAD TROUBLES AGAIN.
More Court Talk Over the Egg
Glasses.

The Heads were in court again yester-
day quarrelling over the personal prop
erty which Ernest claimhas been wrong
fully withheld from him by Mrs. Head
and her mother. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs.
Heads mother, went On the stand first
and said she knew nothing about the
property. Mrs. Head knew all about it.
The rifle she had sold, and she did
not know to whom. The bath brush
was at home hanging in the bath
room. The photographs were her
own and have been destroyed,
The lace spread and pillow shams were
her own. Of the egg glasses there are
but two. That was all there was of it.
The judge said that Head had had this
property in his possession since the
sheriff had demanded it of Mrs. Head,
and that the sheriff must again demand
it of Mrs. Head before an order could be
made. That settled it.
The old trouble between John Nolan
and Herman LEM and others of the

meDt obtained last term, but it was
denied.
The cases of James Lornbe against j.

disallOwed, and an examination in dis
closure proceedings followed, but re-
suited in nothing. About $4,000 are
involved.
The attorneys in the habeas corpus
proceedings begun by Belle Foote
against Arthur Roper to secure pos
session of child, informed Judge
Hicks yesterday that the matter had
been settled out of court by Roper TAX
ing the little one and agreeing to allow
the mother to see 1t whenever she
wished.

COVERING THE EARTH.
No Doubt of the. Earnestness of
the Grand jury

No Doubt of the Earnestness of
the Grand Jury.
'Any man who thinks that the grand
jury is not in earnest in this investiga-
ton matter don't know his business"
remarked one of the witnesses sum-
moned to appear before that body yes
terday, and all indications point to the
truth of the remark. More witnesses
are being summoned every day and the
investiga ton is taking very wide range.
There is good deal of depth to it too.
City Comptroller Calderwood was the
first witness called to the grand jury
ton with the matter is no one seems to
know, but it is pretty certain that he
knows something about the matter
which the council fence-painting COM
mittee did not care to bring out. He
was followed by Aid. Ingenhutt, whose
appearance is due to what one OF Fri
days witnesses said relative to state
ments made by Ingenhutt. Brueshaber
was another admitted to the sacred pre-
cincts of the inquisition chamber and
pumped sby the inquisitive jurymen.
City Clerk Haney was about the court
house all day, but he has not
yet had chance to testify.
Charles Fox. owner of stone quarry on
the East side, showed up in response to
the behest of the g. j., and G. M. Car
penter, of the Minneapolis Asphalt
Paving company, was there Tor the
same reason. Aid. Warren, j. B. Ia
bour, the real estate man, and E. M.
Scott. the lawyer, have also been sub
p9naed. The number of witnesses
called, and the wide range covered by
these subpenaes, shows how earnest
the jurymen are. At 80 the grand
jury adjourned to p. m. Monday. No
indictments we've returned yesterday,
and nearly all of the small cases have
been disposed of. When the next batch
of indictments is returned something
will be heard.

BUILDERS AND PLUMBERS.


F'urnishers of Gas Fixtures Can
not Get a LIEN on a Building.
Judge Hooker rendered decision
yesterday which will have the effect of
making the dealers IN gas fixtures a
little cautious as to whom they trust.
1t is nothing more nor less than that he
who furnishes gas fixtures for build
ing cannot get his money unless his
debtor wishes to pay him. The matter
came up in the suit of James o. Saw
kins versus 81. P. Breed and others.
Sawkins sued to recover some 5000 for
gas fixtures which he had furnished for
a building, and to have his claim de-
clared lien upon the building. But he
cannot get lien upon the building.
Judge Hooker holds that gas fixtures
are in the nature of chattels, and not
part of the material used in the con-
structiOn of the building.

QUOTATIONS NOT NEEDED.
The Chamber May Do Without the
Chicago Board.

Quotations from the Chicago board of
trade were received yesterday morning
in the chamber of commerce, and kept
coming in for an hour, after which they
were shut off. and Immediately Pressy,
Wheeler & Co. began posting them up.
A new phase was introduced in the
chamber that may have some far-reach-
ing results. Minneapolis quotations,
based on local deals, were posted on the
board side by side with the Chicago
quotations. and the chances are that
Minneapolis will be established as an
independent market. 1t is the opinion
of vast number of the dealers that the
local chamber can get on with the quo
tatlons from London, Liverpool, New
York, st. Louis and Duluth alone. and
establish market of its own. If there
are any little annOyances con-

Gray-Haired Joel Stone Freed
From His Wife.

Gray-H aired Joel Stone Freed
From His Wife.
Joel Stone came down from Anoka
yesterday and secured a divorce from
his wife, whom he married away back
in 1869, after telling Straightforward
story about the way his wife had made
love to man named Riley Hill, for
whom she afterwards deserted her hus-
band.
Mrs. Carrie Skinner wanted a divorce
from Erastus p. Skinner Oh the ground
of desertion. She married him six
years ago, when she was but seventeen
years old, and three years ago he de-
serted her. 1t seems that Erastus

Thrilling Adventure in q Crater.

A party who have been exploring the
crater of lava beds about twenty miles
southwest of Albuquerque, N. NJ. have re-
turned, and vouch for the truthfulness
of the story related by J. A. Beaton and
r. w. Loudon. These two gentlemen
stated that on their way to the Malpais
they met Mexican who volunteered for
a few dollars tG go and show them what
he knew about the crater. AS general
thing the Mexicans are supcrstitious and
shun the vicinity of the lava beds, but
this man agreed to go. He plloted the
Albuquerqeans to cave on the highest
point, through cracks in the floor OF
which warm vapor assembled. Viewing
the surroundings for a few seconds, the
men were startled by low, rumbling
sound, like distant thunder, and the lava
beneath their feet trembled.
The Mexican fled Immediately to the
open air, but before the gentlemen could
realize it portion of the bottom of the
cave fell, and they with it, into intense
darkness. Neither was injured, but the
ground upon which they fell seemed to.
sway to and fro. Fortunately one of the
party had candle and some matches,
and after innumcrable attempts to light
it the candle was made to burn.
When light was obtained a lake OF
water, black as ink, was seen at their
feet, while the opposite shore appeared to
be moving from right to left. 1t seemed
that they had landed on floating island
or huge mass Of lava which has probably
been eddying around in this strange
whirlpool for centuries. The Mexican
soon returned to the mouth of the cave,
and, lowering lariats, by the aid OF their
horses pulled the imprisoned explorers
out of their bondage and to the surface
once more. Francisco Chronicle.

The General and the Private.

A veteran who served in the ranks in
recent letter calls attention to q very
amusing incident of an imposing field
review. Previous to the campaign into
Georgia General Rosecrans was review
ing that portion of his splendid army
that lay about Winchester and Dechard.
There had been sharp saving of rations
to get ready for the long advance. As
the General commanding came riding
along the line man in the Second Min
nesota cried out: 'tLess review and
more to eat" General Rosccrans reined
in, and, touching his hat to thasoldier,
replied: ga lean dog tor a long race"
On reading this letter to General Rose
Grams he added another story almost as
good. He was riding with Mr.. Dana, tho
Assistant Secretary of War, along tho
lines of new and formidable works in pro-
cess Of construction at Chattanooga just
after the occupation of the works.
Stopping at Fort Wood, Mr.. Dana was
admiring its strength, and saying that it
compared favosably with the strongest at
Vicksburg. General Rosecrans, turning
to the working party, said: "Boys, do
you think you can hold this work?" One
of them promptly replied: "Gcneral,
we'll hold this line if you'll open the
cracker line" A few days ago this SOL
dier walked into General Rosecrans's
Office in the Trearury Department aad
asked him if he remembered the incl
dent. The caller was delighted to find
that twas still fresh in the Generals
memory, and that he also remembered
some other features of the day and scene.
The visitor then introduced himself as
the author of the cracker-line observa-
tion.
Aside from their amusing features the
stories illustrate a relation between the
volunteer in the ranks and the highest
officer that was one of the main bonds OF
union and which contributed largely to
the strength of our armies.-CommeTc'ol

and never late with the completion Of
their tasks. Three or four truck loads
of newspapers wrapped for mailing were
deposited in sacks of canvas on the floor.
A dozen men clambcrcd ever the pile,
and in an instant the sacks were opened
and thousands of pieces Of mail were de-
posted on the tables in front of the
cases. Then the incessent shower OF
missiles began and the pile of matter
dwindled until within fifteen minutes
the table was cleared, ,and the distributed
mail tied up in the canvas sacks that
were to transport it to its destination.
1t was like clockwork. The tied sacks
were then loaded upon trucks and
wheeled to the big freight elevators at
the Mail street end of the building and
lifted up to the street floor. A long row
of wagons was in waiting outside, and
into them the sacks were bundled. and

piece, and before the first wagon had
