A GENERAL SURPRISE.
Building Inspector Morris Com
municatiOn Stirs Up
Connection.
Ex-Inspector johnson Is Sur.
prised, So Is Treasurer Miller
and the Public.

The letter from Building Inspector
Morris, announcing that S274 taken in
as fees in the month of December. 1891
had not been turned over to the city
treasurer has brought out two state
ments from Yates a. Johnson, who held
the Office at that time.
In one Mr.. johnson says the city owes
him salary from Jan. to the date on
which Mr.. Morris, the present incumb-
ent. qualified. The amount due him, he
claims, is more than the amount of the
receipts for the month of December and
the six days in January. 1T the amount,
1914, is correct. Mr.. Johnson claims the
city still owes him over $1,000. after de-
Quoting the amount not turned i'll.
In the other statement Mr.. Johnson
expresses surprise regarding the letter
of Mr.. Morris as to the 1874. 1t was
technically true that the December
money had not been turned in OIL the
1st of January, as he was not ready
with his report at the time he was
elected. Since then he had not
had access to the books and was
unable to prepare either his annual or
monthly report. The law required the
fees to be turned into the treasurer's
office on the first of each month. He
had been in the habit, however, of send
ing his reports and treaSurer's receipt to
the council at later date, which prac-
tice had always appeared to be salts
factory.
Although the resolution referring the
communication had not reached the
corporation attorneys Office in an Off
cial way, Mr.. johnson held a consulta-
ton with the assistant city attorney
yesterday. Acting on the advice of that
official, Mr.. johnson will turn over to
the city treasurer the amount of fees
collected. and, after securing receipt.
will send it with communication to
the council.
Assistant City Attorney Phillips said
yesterday that the position taken by
Mr.. johnson that the city owed him
money and he had kept the fees as part
payment was not tenable. If, said Mr..
Phillips, the city is owing Mr.. johnson
any money.he has recourse to the courts
TO secure it.
MIR. Johnson's statement that he had
been in the habit of sending his reports
and receipts in at much later date
than the law requires is proven by the
council proceedings for 1890 and 1891.
Some surprise is expressed that City
Treasurer Miller had not discovered
the fact that no returns had been made.
The records of the building inspectors
office also show that the receipts for
October, 1891, were turned in on Dec.
10, and for the month of November the
same year oil Dec. %.

KILLED A CONDUCTOR
Somebody to Blame for a Casualty
on the Interurban
Line.
A Sfde-Tracked Car Sweeps the
Official to q Sudden
Death.

NJ. p. Flnsky, conductor on one of
the lnterurban cars, was killed last
night near Hamline avenue. Yesterday
afternoon closed car on the line. while
coming to st. Paul broke an axle, near
Hamline avenue. The car was after
ward removed from the track and
placed to one side, space being left be-
tween the car and track sufficient to
allow cars to pass. At II 80 last night the
car in charge of FInSky left Midway
on lis way to st. Paul. The car was one
of the large open ones run on the line.
with two steps running along the entire
side. After leaving Smelling avenue,
Finsky started to collect the fares, and
while standing on the step and swing
ing from one seat to the other, was
struck by the car standing beside
the track and hurled to the
ground. The car was running at a
good speed. and it was some mo
ments before the Mortified passengers
could inform the motoneer of what had
happened. The car was stopped and
the conductor placed Oh board and
brought to LutZ's drug store. He was
unconscious when picked up, and died
few minutes after reaching the drug
store.
Flnsky was a single man, thirty-two
years old. and resided with his parents
near the Midway barn. DR.. Darling was
notified and ordered the body removed
to an undertaking establishment.
DIR. George A. Hoagland, of Brook
Ign, passenger on the car, said he
made an examination after the car had
been backed up to take the injured man
aboard. The car which had been re-
moved from the track was so close
that it was wonder no accident
had occurred before. Just enough
space had been left for cars
to squeeze through and the removal of
the trucks from the derailed car made
the top of it come about even with the
steps of the one on which Frusky stood.
The doctor said passenger OH the same
car had a narrow escape from a
like accident near Twenty-first avenue
in Minneapolis. At that point a car
had been removed from the track and
was left standing near the track. The
passenger was passing from one seat to
another, and but for warning would
have met with the same fate as the con-
ductor did.

FORBES MIND SOUND
The Reverend Prisoner Exoner.
ated Without Even
Defense.
How One Case Wrecked
Once Happy Fam
800 lily.

The investigation held in the probate
court Tuesday and yesterday concern
ing the alleged insanity of Rev. DR..
Forbes resulted in his triumphant ac-
quittal, after, thorough investigation
before Court Commissioner Orr and
Drs. Murphy and Markoe. The history
of the case seems to be about this:
Nearly four years ago DR.. Forbes began
to entertain suspicious regarding an
intimacy between his wife and one
Thomas Leybourne, who had been
rooming in the house for nearly four
years. After a few months Leybourne
was discharged, and the doctor hoped
for peace of mind, but some months
after, the doctor claims; he discovered
what confirmed his former suspicious
and completely lost his peace of
mind. He continued in his work as
presiding elder OF st. Paul district for
nearly year, but the secret having
leaked out, the grief and publicity
temporarily upset him, and he was sent
to Rochester asylum, where he remained
for about four weeks, when he was re-.
leased on parole and took up his abode
in Duluth. where he has re-
sided until now. lie has been
preaching in ClOQuet by appointment
of the presiding elder since Jan. L. His
sermons and addresses OH different oc-
casiOnS prove that he is perfectly sane.
He came to st. Paul last week to find
room and board for his little boy where
he may attend school among his &C
Quaintances, and was surprised to find
that warrant had been issued for his
arrest on the ground of insanity. He
returned and did his work last Sunday,
and came down Monday to meet
the authorities. 1t seems that
the warrant was never served.
but the doctor went to the probate
court and asked for an investigation.
Witnesses were examined Tuesday and
yesterday forenoOnS, and DIR. Forbes
was discharged in about three minutes
in his own defense. One of the physi-
clans said: "There is not scintilla of
evidence going to prove insanity"
There is certainly enough in the his
tory of this case to drive man insane.
Fortune lost. home gone, family broken
up, the wife whom he loved for twenty
five years separated from him forever.
these would drive almost any
man to insanity or some terri
bic deed, but DIR. Forbes passed
through the trying ordeal with cool
ness and nerve that would scarcely be
found i'll some of his critics. were they
called to endure so much. The de-
cision of the court will cause a great
change in the opinions of many who
have found in the insanity theory a.
sufficient explanation of what DR..
Forbes charges to be true. Certainly
tremendous responsibility lies some
where, and the mills of the gods" will
grind 1t out in due time.

A Farm Horses Devastation on
West Seventh.
An old horse belonging to Mrs.
Schramm, a market woman, caught the
Nancy Hanks inspiration yesterday aft
ernoon and dashed down West Seventh
street to break his record. At the cor
ner of Chestnut street the runaway
horse dashed beadlong into DR.. Gil
lette'S hobby rig, and, while the doc
tors horse escaped without injury, his
buggy was almost totally ruined. 1t
took about five minutes to untwist the
runaway nag's legs and neck from the
debris of the wreck. and when the ami
NAL was placed ON his feet he was found
to be uninjured, although every one
who saw the collision thought he
would never come out of it alive. Mrs.

DENIES THE CowARDICE.
Calvin Held in Bonds-His Yer.
sion of the Affray


sion of the ARRAY.
Louis j. Calvin. ex-policeman, was
arraigned in the police court yesterday
morning charged with assault in the
second degree. Sergeant Jerry Sulli-
van, OH whom the assault was COM
mitted, was not present in the court
room, and the case was continued to
Sept. IA. Bail was fixed at $500, and
was furnished by Henry Calvin and &.
j. Mccarthy, who gave bonds for the
defendants appearance.
Calvin said yesterday that the state
ment made about him coming up be-
hind Sullivan unawares and striking
him with revolver was false. He met
Sullivan OH Sibley near Seventh street
and called him dirty cur. At this
Calvin says Sullivan drew revolver
and said "l'll fix you" When he drew
the gun Calvin struck at HIM and they
clinched. In the scuffie Calvin says
Sullivan was thrown to the sidewalk
and he took the revolver away from
him and threw it in the street. A by
stander took hold of him and pulled him
away. and just then Officer Ashe came
up. Calvin claims that Ashc was told
by Sullivan to club him. but this the
officer didn't do, as he went peaceaby
| with him to the box. Sullivan's in
| Juries are not serious and he will be out
