and Will Recover.

The track on the Northern Pacific
road, near the North Town junction,
where the collision between Il freight
and passenger train occurred Monday
night. has all been cleared, and yester-
| day morning traffic was resumed as
usual. There is but little to add to the
| account of the disaster, which was
printed in yesterdays GLOBE. The in
| jured are all doing we'll, and no doubt
| will recover to man. The name of the
| fireman of the freight is E. Sutherland.
He was an extra, as was Charles John
| son, the engineer of the freight. j. G.
| RosSall, the conductor, could not be
| found yesterday, and it is supposed he
| fled as soon as the wreck occurred. The
name of Ferdinand Husher was among

know where he is. He was not taken
to the hospital, although his injuries
were quite severe.

FOR BUSINESS MEN.
A Law Suit That Holds Interest

A Law Suit That Holds Interest
for Them.
A case of special interest to business
men in Minnesota is on the calendar for
this term of the district court, and the
papers have been filed. 1t is the case
of G. E. Woodruff & Co., Chicago
wholesale firm, against Ernest Dean
and A. w. Benson. 1t appears from the
papers that the defendants. with Z. II.
Elliott and Charles H. Pauly, formed
the old firm of Elliott. Benson 81 Co..

sold the firm 1888. IL worth of

the balance of the bill-S567. 80 and in
terest on the whole bill from the date of
the sale. This raises nice question,
and Mr.. Dean in his answer says of it
that he is not liable in any sense. He
denies that the two firms were made up
of the two parties alleged. He adj
mitS that on Sept. IL, 1891, Elliott, Ben
son d Co. ordered certain goods of
plaintiff for Immediate delivery, but
denies that the firm ever received
them. He sets up that the firm
of Elliott, Benson & Co. was formally
dissolved on Sept. 10, 1891, and notices
of the dissolution were published in the
newspapers and given to the CONNER
cial agencies. Also that notice was
mailed to the plaintiff. He admits the
failure of Elliott, Pauly & Co., and says
that plaintiff filed the claim for which
this suit is brought and participated in
the division of the assets of Elliott,
Pauly & Co. He also alleges that plaintiff
took the notes of Elliott, Pauly & Co.
in full payment of the claim, and asks
that the suit be dismissed and he he
given costs.
But Woodruff & Co. come back with
reply denying any knowledge of the
dissolution; denying any sale to Elliott,
Pauly & Co., and asserting that as soon
as it was learned that the notes were
signed by that firm instead of Elliott,
Benson q Co., the notes were returned
TO Elliott, Benson & Co. Whether Dean
and Benson can be held for the goods is
a question which business men are
watching with considerable interest.

Jebas Snyder Makes Trouble for
the "Coppers."

cAS OOppCESs
Jebas Snyder, a raw-boned and pretty
tough railroad man, lies in a cell at the
central station awaiting his trial for as
saulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Jebas and his brother got into fight
with fellow railroad man in the Amer
lean bottling house yesterday afternoon.
Officer Averill was called in to Quell the
the disturbance. He requested the men
who were fighting to leave the place.
but they refused, and Jebas became
very abusive. Averill attempted to put
him out, but Jebas wanted to fight. He
cllnched with the officer and threw
him to the floor. Averill got a lit
tie the worst of the battle from the fact
that Jebas' brother took hand in it.
However Jebas was finally dragged to
the patrol box at the corner of Third av-
ienue and Washington, when his brother
pitched into Averill, who was forced to
use his club with good deal Of vIgor.
officer German lOOmed upon the scene
at this juncture, and, drawing his re-
yolver, began firing. He did not hit
Jebas, nor his brother, but he came
within an inch of puncturing the head
of bystander. When Jebas was landed
at the central station he presented a
sorry sight. He was bleeding from the
nose and mouth, and he had Jumps as
large as apples all over his head. Ay-
Grill had black eye, and before he
went Off duty 1t had swollen to the size

How Much the City Will Receive
foa a $1,000 Bond.

In the bids for the twenty-five 81 900
bonds for the new city hospital the
Farmers and Mechanics Saving bank,
of this city, was but 81 lower than Blair
u Co., of New York, whose bid was ac-
cepted. On the face of the bids N. W.
Harrles & Co., of Chicago. were the
highest bidders, but when it was taken
into consideration that Harries d Co.
were to pay interest only from the date
of the sale to the date OF the delivery, it
became apparent that the bid of Blair

is to pay interest from date of issue,
July l, to date Of delivery, making a
difference of $3.50 to the city. The fol-
lowing figures show what the city is to
receive. with interest, from date of is

THEIR DATES MIXED.
Husband and Wife Fail to Agree
on Important Points.

The divorce case of Frelderika Metz
portion of the papers have been filed,
presents a curious complication. She
says in her complaint that they were
wed on Oct. Is. 1886, and have no chill
dren. He admits no issue, but says the
wedding occurred April 25, instead of
Oct. 25. She charges him with adultery,
and wants share of the property
which she helped to earn, and for
half of which she paid with
her own money. He demurs to
the adultery charge as being unin-
telligible, indefinite and uncertain, no
names being given, nor any dates nor
places specified. He admits owning two
lots on Twentieth avenue north, and
says that he bought them for $4,000, she
paying $1,000 and no more. He denies
that he has converted any of the prop
erty, real or personal, to his own use, or
ever refused her money. He says that
she has several thousand dollars worth
of property at Fairmount park and
about Minneapolis, and that he has
always paid her taxes from his own
money. He asks that the divorce be given
to him, and alleges that she has been
fault-finding wife to him. He says that
oHC UCllcfCS III dllCCs anu IldS
often laid herself out in his presence
and pretended to be in a trance and to
be in communication with spirits. For
the last two years she has abandoned
him and her home and gone almost
every night to meetings Of clairvoyants
in which she has participated. return
ing from 10 to II o'clock at night. lie
says that she has called him tramp
and bum; has accused him of adultry
and of trying to poison her, and that
she bases these charges on what the
spirits have told her. He says that she
has become a termigant, and that her
actions have driven his customers away
and injured his business. Once she threw
a can of coal oil at his head and said
she was going to kill him, and he is in
fear she will do him permanent injury.
He therefore asks for divorce and his
property free from any claim by her.
Which Is Righta
Either Ralph Murray or his wife,
Sarah Ii. Murray, is not telling the
truth, for they sQuarely contradict each
other. He says in his bill for divorce
nine years old; that they were married
In Meeker county, April 25, 1883, and
that she deserted him without cause
March /. 1883. He therefore asks a
divorce and the custody of their child.
Then she comes back, and, after admit
ting the ages ana date of marriage, says
that on March l, 1883, he deserted and
abandoned her without cause OF provo
cation. She also says that for more
than year prior to that time he was
guilty of habitual intoxication and is
not fit person to have the care and
custody OF their child. She, conse-
quently, wants the divorce to go to her,
along with the custody of the child and
permanent alimony.

formally opened and. dedicated last

Four thousand invitations were sent by

Olson Won the Suit.

The damage case of L. o. Brekke
against S. E. Olson & Co. is over, and
the finding of the court is for the de-
PENDANT. Brekke sued the firm for
damages, claiming that while in the
firms employ he sustained injuries in
the store elevator which would render
him lame for life. The list of injuries
was long one, as was the number of
witnesses who corroborated Brekke's
testimony. The defense introduced
evidence from people who lived in De-
corah, To-, Brekke's old home, which
proved conclusively that the plaintiff
had received the injuries he referred to
twenty years ago. He had been lame
for the same number of years. and long
before he ever dreamed of coming to
Minneapolis. BrekKe'S divorced wife
testified he was lame when she married
him long years ago. The case was tried
in the United States district court be-
fore Judge Nelson.
