The New Pumping Engineers May
Not Be Confirmed.
Although the water board has APP
pointed two engineers for the North
side pumping station, it is very likely
that same trouble will be experienced
before they are confirmed by the coun-
Gil. Not that the council in the en-
semble will be adverse to confirming
the appointment, but as soon as, the
matter is brought up that old factional
fight against Rinker will crop out again.
Mr.. Rinker SAID yesterday that the men
had been on the pay roll for some time,
and that their appointment to the North
side station was practically nothing
more than transfer. He said that If
they are not confirmed the matter will
have to rest where it is.
Several members of the council who
have placed themselves Oh record as
so-called investigators stated yester-
day that before the appointments were
confirmed they should demand an in
vestigation of the rather peculiar meth
DDS used in discharging Twecdie and
Holl. AS far as they were personally
concerned they did not care who acted
as engineers as long as they were COM
petent men, but they did not want to
see any undetermined work. SO there
YOU are.

BOUND OVER.
The Two Forgers Will Have to

The Two Forgers Will Have to
Answer to the District Court.
The two forgers. Russell and Web
ster, were given their preliminary ex-
animation in tho municipal court yes
terday afternoon, and as result were
bound over for trial to the district
court. They were both arraigned on
the charge of utterIng forged notes. On
this, however. Webster escaped. mas
much as his Offense was the attempt at
passing forged check. He was then
arraigned on the charge of attempting
to inter forged paper, and though the
evidence was by no means the strong
est, it was sufficient for Webster TO be
held on. The evidence against Russell
was apparently conclusive, and the tes-
timony of each one of the witnesses
made the chains about him the stronger.
He only smiled, however, and affected a
supreme indifference. The evidence
brought out nothing new. but merely
subStantlated the facts that have al
ready appeared In the papers.
Mark HaineS. counsel for the defend
ants, made no attempt to introduce any
witnesses. He contented himself with
confusing the witnesses for the state.
Henry III. Barber, paying teller OF the
Hennepin County Savings bank, testi-
fed 10 having cashed the forged check :;
also to having seen Webster and refused
to cash the second check for him. He
identified both Russell and Webster,
the former as the one who passed the
first forged check. and the latter as the
one who made the futile attempt at
passing another one. Calvin w. Clark
swore that he had signed no checks in
favor of the persons the forgers repre-
scented themselves 10 be. He admitted
that the signature to the check passed
by Russell was clever imitation, but
it was not his own. In reply to ques-
ton put by Mark Haines, he said it was
possible there were other G. w. ClarkS
in the city, but he did not know of any.
Russell in the bank, and Inspectors
Hoy and Hankinson told how they ar
rested the two men and the finding of
forgers' and burg lars tools in their pos
session.
John E. largo, receiving teller of the
Hennepin County Savings bank, testi-
fed to having heard the conversation
between Webster and Barber when the
former tried to pass the second bogus
check. He identified Webster, but got
trifie mixed up in his description, 1t
was We3ster's mouth and smile that
caught him. largo said. Webster joined
with the rest in a laugh at this. A fter
the examination the two fOrgers were
taken to the county jail. The district
court will be asked to fix the bail in a

SYNDICATE SUED AGAIN.
Parties Who Want Nearly $4O,-
900 of the Gamblers Money.


900 of the Gamblers Money.
The Syndicate" as the combination
of gamblers that has controlled gam
bling in Minneapolis for several years,
is known, has some heavy litigation on
its hands. One OF the suits is brought by
the widow of the late Patrick Sullivan,
who was one of the syndicate. Her suit
us for $4,000 and is brought to recover
an interest in the gambling rooms
operated by the syndicate and in the
Elite saloon. The members of the
syndicate, w. A. Tanner, John Flanni-
gan and NJ. j. Shelly, admit that Sulli-
vans widow has an interest in the
saloon, but deny that she has anything
coming from the gambling rooms.
They hold that Sullivan's interest ex-
pired with his death, as it consisted
merely OF standing share of the losses
and participation In the profits, in-
volving no permanent investment.
Another big suit that has been begun
against the syndicate is of an entirely
different nature. 1t is for something
like $4,000, and is brought by Ed Har-
rOun, the eX-asSessOr of Ramsey county,
bling across the tables owned and OPP
Grated by the syndicate. This money
was not all lost at one time, but the
claim is made to cover all the sums lost
at various sittlngs during period of
three or four years. All of the dealers
and lookout" men who were then in
the employ of the syndicate are made
parties to this latter suit. The gam
DlerS say that HarrOun has not had any
money to gamble with for several years
and declare that they owe him nothing.

SO tar as the public is concerned, case

so far as the public is concerned, case
that has excited worldwide comment.
Mrs. Osborne paid no attention what
ever to her surroundings. She kept
her handkerchief to her eyes, and wept
bitterly. She was called upon to stand
up, and the charges of theft and perjury
were read TO her. WheE the reading
was concluded she pleaded guilty to
both charges. She was very weak, and
her voice was so low that it was impos
sible for her to be heard on the bench.
and the warder was obliged to repeat
Mrs. OSDorne's words
During the session of court Mrs. Har-
greaves rose from her seat at the solicit
or's table, and speaking with great
emotion, said: MY lord, as | and my
husband are the chief sufferers, am
going to plead for mercy for the ac-
cused. L am perfectly convinced that
Mrs. Osborne was not in her rigkv mind
when she took the jewels. | beg of you
to deataS leniently as possible with her.
l have known and loved the prisoner all
her life.''
During Mrs. Hargreaves' remarks
Mrs. Osborne showed the deepest emo
ton. She wept bitterly. and her sObs
were audible in every part of the court.
Everybody WAS much affected. Many
OF the women were crying, and the
scene was most painful to everybody.
The painful scene was added to when
the clerk of the court, turning 10 the
prisoner, asked: 'Florence Ethel Os-
borne, have you anything to say why
the court should not pass judgment
upon you?" Mrs. Osborne, sobbing
Violently. replied in whisper, ''Noth-
ing" The judge then proceeded to
sentence the prisoner.
Capt. Osborne had short interview
with his wife after sentence had been
imposed upon her. He then left the
court room and retired 10 his house,
greatly affected at his wife'S position.
The house in which the captain resides
presents ali appearance or mourning.
All the blinds are closed. curtains
drawn, and the whole aspect of the
dwelling is that in which the death of
ore of the family has just occurred.
Capt. Osborne denied himself to all
callers. lie absolutely refused to see
any of the numerous visitors who called
at the house. and declined to hold COM
munication with the callers either ver-
Daly or by note.
His friends express much sympathy
for Capt. Osborne in his deep affection
and highly praise the warm and IN
wavering devotion he showed for his
unfortunate wife during the trying
ordeal through which both of them have
passed. They say that he is utterly
crushed with grief over the result of the
trial, and keenly feels the terrible dis
grace entailed by his wife's conviction
and sentence to Imprisonment. The
friends Of the OsbOrnes express great
surprise at the harshness of the SEN
tence imposed on the prisoner, and
claim that in view of the extennating
circumstances connected with the case
and the wOman'S delicate state of
health. the ends of justice could have
been fully served if a much lighter pun :
isbment had been decreed.

SOUTH SIDE MARKET.
Litigation Among Residents OF

Litigation Among ReSluenCS Oh
Cleveland, o., duplicates 1t.
A suit which involves the property
upon which is built the South side
market, located at Twelfth avenue
south and Second street, was filed with
the clerk OF the district court yesterday.
The title of the case is The Mercantile
National Bank of Cleveland, O., VS.. j.
Burton Parsons ct al. All are residents
of Cleveland. The complaint is an I'M
usually lengthy one. and, to the or
binary reader. somewhat complicated.
The facts stated are about as follows:
On July 10, 1888, II. p. Crowell, j. Z.
Handy and J. b. Parson-better known
as the Cleveland Farming company
traded certain Cleveland property for
the Beard block in this city. The
title of the block was taken in the name
of A. p. Crowell, each of the three gen
tlemen mentioned owning third inter-
est. On Sept. Is, 1888, Ii. P. Crowell
and wife published a declaration stating
that the property was held in trust by
Crowell, subject to any disposition
Crowell, Parson and Handy wished to
make of it. The declaration also stated
that each still owned third interest
despite the fact that certain persons
claimed that ParSon nau TWICE mort
gagged his third interest, once to G. s.
Bissell and later to E. K. Crowell prev
ious to the date upon which the declara-
ton was issued. On Dec. IA, 1888, how
ever, Parson did convey his interests,
the complaint alleges, to the plaintiff to
secure his debts to the bank and also
those of the Lake Erie Tobacco CON-
pany. Ii. p. Crowell and wife were
nrOnnrlv n0tifin1 Mt the transfer.
From Oct. 20, 1850, to Jan. II, 1891,
the Lake Erie Tobacco company gave
the plaintiff five promissory notes, each
payable four months after date. amount
ing in all to $l4, 100. These notes were
indorsed by Parsons. Parsons also bor-
rowed So. 400 during the time mentioned.
AS stated above, the Parson interest i'll
the BEARD" block was conveyed to the
plaintiff to secure the above notes.
On Dec. 5, 1880, II. p. Crowell and

WHEAT THIEVES,

And the Mysterious Little House
Found by Detective NJ. T.. Doyle.
The Great Northern road is having
considerable trouble at the present time
with wheat thieves who break into the
cars and carry off portions of the
contents. The thieves are especially
active IN the vicinity of the two GA"
elevators on the OsSeo branch of the
road, just off Western avenue. Not only
are the cars broken into there. but the
thieves have become so bold that even
the grain in the elevators is not safe.
Inspector NJ. E. Doyle was given Or
ders to look up and catch the wheat
thieves, and in connection with the
same hangs tale. He has been very
dilil ent in his search for the thieves,
and thinks now that he has corralled
them. At the corner of ColfaX avenue
and Chestnut street, within the shadows
of one Of the mammoth elevators, stands
q little white cottage. 1t stands all
alone, fully block strOm any other
dwelling. and there Is a mysterious
something about 1t all that would lead
one to think that a romance was con-
nected with the peaked roof. Inspector
Doyle, in his nocturnal visits to the ele-
vatorS in search of the wheat thieves,
caught sight of the MISUNDERSTANDING
cottage. 1t struck him at once that the
thieves had some connection with
this house, and when he found
lot of footprints in the mud leading
from the back door, he was sure he had
clue. He did not dare to inquire the
names of the occupants for fear of Great
ing suspicion, so he notified Lieut..
Coffin yesterday to ascertain if possible
who lived there. He has been watch
ing the place ever since it is under
stood.
The owner and proprietor of this little
mysterious house is Police Officer John
McKenna, and exactly how he will take
1t when he hears of his domicile being
watched as a retreat for wheat thieves,
Is not known. Officers at the central
station think the whole affair very
good joke, though they have not had the
nerve to tell Doyle of the mistake he
has made.

days since negro brute assaulted two
white women near Hamburg. Tenn.
lie was captured near this city last
Thursday, and taken back to Hamburg.

that the negro was the most noted GRIM
inal in the South. whose depredations
have terrorized the people of Northern
Mississippi for year. He called him
self Reub Burris, and his chief delight
was in Offering all manner of indigni
ties to white men. On Feb. 4, 1891, he
burned his way out of the Corinth Jail.
One month ago he robbed a white wo-
man on the streets of Curinth in broad
daylight. and was pursued by posse
