MANKATo. Minn.. Jan. 16.-G. S.
Powlison, head clerk for the Mcconnell
dry goods house, has for the last year
been establishing agencies in various
parts of this state and Dakota from
which. aided by accomplces, he re-
ceives large mail orders. He has been
in the city for little over year. and
has during the past year been devout
Christian, member of the Congrega-
tional church, and prominent i'll eStab-
fishing Sunday schools in the city. Mr..
Mcconnell noticed that his mail orders
were very large, and has for some time
been making private investigation. In
stead of turning the mail order mon ey
to the firm he pocketed it himself. Mr..
Mcconnell interviewed Powlison, and
he confessed that he had embeZZled
81, 800 worth of goods. Mcconnell ordered
him to give up his private acco unit
books, and found that his whole en-
bezzlement amounted from 5000 to
$1,000. 1t is impossible to ascertain the
amount of his theft, many of the entries
having been erased from his books. In
veStigation shows him to be a criminal
of the first water. This is by no means
his first crime. While in Kansas he
swlndled his partner out of the sum of
5000, or stole it. HIS uncle in Michigan
is 5000 short on his account. 1t is
thought that enough evidence can be
brought against him to keep him in
custody the remainder of his pilgrimage

ary he was married to one of the most

so certain tonight. He was to return
in March next, but nowthat DR.. Koch
has made his important disclosure as to
the formula OF making the lymph, it is
possible that he may be ordered home
sooner than was first anticipated. If
congress does what we anticipate it will
do-appropriate $4,000 In the sundry

STIMMEL LOOMS UP.
A New Richmond in the Field at
Bismarck.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 16.-A mass
meeting was held last night at the
Athen@um, which was largely attended.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Farmers Alliance. and was
addressed by Walter Muir, Smith Stim-
mel, Col. Plummer and others. A great
deal of enthusiasm was generated. and
Col. Plummer caused considerable
surprise and some excitement by
the vehemance with which he lashed
the soullesS cOrporations and greedy
mOnopOlieS. With many wild gyrations
of the upper extremitIeS he expatiated
on the wickedness of railroads, ETC.. and
led his hearers to believe that the Farm
ers' Alliance poultice applied to the
body polite would cure all the ills the
flesh is heir to. Smith Stimmel made a
dignifed and practical address, and ex-
planned the Alliance principles in a
cIear-headed. practical way, which
could not but have weight with his
farmer hearers, and which COM
mended itself to all classes
of his audience. Mr.. Stimmel is
practical farmer and prominent
member of the Alliance. He is coming
to the front as a growing senatorial pos
sibility, and it is semi-officially reported
that at secret caucus held recently he
received the Endorsement of the entire
caucus as the Farmers Alliance candi-
date. 1t is reported to-day that he has
fifteen Farmers Alliance and Inde-
pendent Republican votes pledged to
him, and the complex senatorial situa-
tion becomes more complicated by this
addition of field" candidate, with
nIA 10 Ila,, 4,
and Miller, Stimmel's growing strength
and it is not believed to have
cut into Hansbrough's solid hand
full, nor to have drawn any from
Pierce's phalanX. 1t is, however,
thought that, if Stimmel's strength in
creaSeS further within the next few
days, the votes must come from Gov.
Mlller's adherents, as he had the sup
port of number of Alliance members.
The fact that Gov. Miller is not openly
a candidate, ana still insists that he is
not a candidate, will also have ten
dency to loosen his hold upon his fol
| lowers, and they may go to Stimmel
very fast within the next few days, un-
| less Miller comes out and announces
himself as an open candidate. In case

in danger of losing part OF all OF
his followers in the rush for the Repub.
lican band wagon which would natur.

man become formidable competition
for Pierce's place. The factions of the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The presi-

At this hour Il a. m.) reports by tele-
phone say the large mill has burned to
the ground and that two other mills are
on fire. People living near the scene
are moving their furniture, and Dob
sons employees are carrying goods from
their other mills. The loss will be very
heavy, being estimated at at least $780,

1:30 a. m.-The six-story carpet and
plush mill is completely destroyed, as is
also the wool storage warehouse and
the Brussels carpet mill. The fire is
still burning fiercely, but it is thought
to be under control. At an early hour
this morning the fire was still raging,
but confined to the carpet mill. The loss
will probably be some 5000, 900 or 500, 000.
The buildings destroyed were those

Gallant Fight With Waves to Save
Vessel Crews.

Vessel Crews.
KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 16.-Several of
the great lights on the Florida reefs
have recently had narrow escape from
running out of oil. Owing to the severe
"northers" of late in the gulf, the gov
ernment lighthouse steamer Laurel has
been unable to visit Key West for over
a fortnight. During the past week
news reached Key West that several of
the Florida reef lights were getting
short of oil. The very chance OF such
an event is enough to frighten
any sailor accustomed to navigate
the Florida reefs. In all, some
eight first order lights stand
sentinel along the whole chain of reefs,
commencing at Foyer rock and ending
at Dry Tortugas. Should these lights
fail to be burning, the reefs would be
discovered only when the vessel was
high on the rocks and dashing to pieces.
The news of the condition OF the Flor.
ida reef lights no sooner reached Key
West than Capt. Thomas 5. Smyth,
commander of the revenue cutter Nc
Lane, volunteered to go through the
storm to the relief of the light houses.
With incredible alacrity Oil was gotten
aboard at D. IN. and the McLane was
off on a run to reach SomberO, forty
five miles away, before sunset. 1t was

life preseryers on, stood ready to pull

wind was bowling and the seas running
so high that no one away up in the iron
