UNABLE TO AGREE.
The Michaels Jury Discharged
Bail Fixed at $4,000.

The jury in the Marks Mlchaels al
legged arson case spent yesterday in the
jury room in the vain effort to agree
on verdict. AT p. m. the jurors were
taken before Judge Cornish, looking
quite wearied after their seven days
work and over twenty-four hours of
confinement after having the case SUBJ
mitted to them. In response to inquiries
by the court they stated that no verdict
had been reached and there was
no possibility of an agreement
The court expressed regret at
the outcome and discharged the
jurors from further consideration
of the case, and from further attendance
for the January term of court.
The court loom and gallery was
crowded all day yesterday. chiefly by
friends of Michaels, waiting for the
verdict of the jury. Michaels was
brought into court at p m. looking
haggard and i'll. His wife who was
about the court room seemed much dis
tressed and i'll. Mr.. Willis, for the de-
Tense, announced his readiness to
proceed with a new trial at once.
County Attorney O'Brien stated
that he is ready to proceed with
the case before another jury, but hay
lug StG dllOlutI CdSc 1OT lOudy ne was
of opinion that Michaels should wait
his turn and until other prisoners should
have a chance for trial. Mr.. Davis spoke
on the subject of admitting Michael to
bail. County Attorney O'Brien stated
that no sum had been previously fixed
as bail, but that Judge Otis had init
mated before indictment that So, 900 or
$1,000 would be reasonable sum.
Mr.. Davis said that that amount
was suggested at that time
olnthe theory that other arrests for the
same offense would follow because the
state claimed number of persons were
Implicated in incendiary fires, and it
was thought if MichaeIs was admitted
to bail i'll small sur; he would be in
duceG to leave the city. Mr. Davis also
stated that the defendant and his family
are in great physical and financial dis
tress. Judge Cornish fixed the bail at
$4,000 until this morning, when he will
consider the question of reducing the
amount, as suggested by Mr.. Willis, to
81 800 or $1,000.

CARRIERS EXTRA WORK.
Postmaster Lee DiscourseS Upon
the Pay for Services Rendered.

the Pay for Services Rendered.
In speaking of the claim Of p. j..
Scannen and one or two other former
letter carriers for pay for extra hours as
carriers, Postmaster Lee said yesterday
that he is of opinion that there is some
justice III the claim. In 1888 the eight
hour system was iDaugurated in the
postoffice, as far at least as letter car
riers were concerned. The carriers for
some time put in additional hours in
order to do their work, and it is but
natural that they should expect pay for
the extra service.
Mr.. Lee expressed the view that car
riers get as good pay as they could earn
for the same service elsewhere. He re-
CARDS $1,000 a year, without being re-
quired to put in much time on Sundays
and holidays, besides being allowed
fifteen days off with pay during the
year. as good wages. He also said that
the postotfice department has construed
the law to mean that the carriers should
average eight hours a day, counting
every day in the month including Sun
daY-and if they do not work so long on
Sunday. they should make up by work
ing longer hours during the week. The
department had sent him a letter some
time since asking that the city be
rediStricted in such manner as to re-
quire the carriers to work longer hours.
He replied to this that in his view of
the law the carriers are not required to
WORK longer than eight hours per day,
and he declined to rearrange the city in
districts as the department. indicated.
Mr. Lee says the department knows
that he is right in his construction of
the law, and consequently did not insist
upon the arrangement with view Of
forcing more hours work Oh the car
rierS.

TESTING THE ARTEsIAN WELL
insufficient for the Uses of Both
Park and Lake.

President Horton was the Ouly men,
Der absent from the regular meeting of
the park board last evening. The first
business that came up was the report of
City Engineer Rundlett upon the new
artesian we'll at Como. That official
stated that he had made thorough test
of the well, which has siX-inch diam
eter, and found the capacity to be 622. 100
gallons i'll every twenty-four hours. The
well lowered ten feet during the opera
ton of pumping that amount of water.
which went to show that it had been
tested to its full capacity. The supply
was insufficient for both lake and park
purposes, and he would recommend
that another we'll, ten inches in dame
ter, be bored near the present one.
Commissioner Aberle then introduced
resolution authorizing the city clerk
to Advertise for bids for sinking such a
well, subject to plans and specifications
to be furnished by the city engineer.
The resolution was adopted.
A communication was read from j. j..
Watson offering to sell over seventeen
acres of land In blocks l and 5, of plat
4. of Lexington Park, and placed on
file. The owner considered the property
very suitable for park purposes, and Of
fered to sell it for $4,000.
The engineers pay roll for work done
in improving Como park in January
amounting to S2,216.44 was allowed.
The park superintendent pay roll of
S525.25, and several miscellaneous bills
were also passed.
An agent for Studebaker Bros. of
South Bend, Ind, submitted model of
sprinkling cart which he wished the
board to purchase. The matter was re-
ferreQ until the next meeting.

sent to the senate the nomination of
Capt. Castle and shortly afterwards
the senate confirmed it. AS soon as Capt.
Castle arrangeS his bond of 100000
and receives the parchment on which
his commission will be inscribed, he will
step into the office. The press reports
yesterday brought him the first intima-
ton of the fruition of his hopes,
though he had been advised the hour
was ripe and was expecting it. A genial
smile was painting sunset glow on his
face when a GLOBE reporter entered his
office in the afternoon Quite a bevy
of friends had assembled to tender con-
gratulations and help him read the con-
tirmatory dispatch which came from
Senator Davis little later. AS to his
conduct of the Office, and what appoint
mentS he might make, the postmaster
elect would say nothing. The fact is
that there are now no Democrats in Of
flee, so there will be none to be decapi-
tated
Postmaster Lee was also expecting
the nomination of his succe sSor, and
when the GLOBE dropped in upon him
he said he had put his house in order
for his departure. His term really eX-
PRED last month. and he had been pre-
pared tor al appointment promptly at
that time.
The request for Castles appointment
had been made to the president by Sem
atOr Davis several months ago, but
action was delayed by reason of pro-
tests from the friends of the late Mr..
Window, who cherished considerable
feeling to Castle on account of the old
senatorial fight of years ago. Senator
Davis never experienced any uneasi-
ness and confidently SAID the appoint
ment would be made when the
time came. Most of the saddled
Republicans of st. Paul were opposed
to the appointment OF the ground that
Castle had not lately been a member of
the rampant element. but to the people
generally the choice will be received
with appreciation. Capt Castle is an
the history and enterprises of the city,
and few men are better known in the
limits of Ramsey county. He was born
near Quincy. Adams county, H., in
1871, and graduated from Mckendree
college in 1862. After serving through
the war. he studied law, but his health
gave away and he removed to ST. Paul
Ill 1866 and went in merchandising He
afterward resumed his law practice,
but in 1876 became editor of the Dis
patch, which, position he held until 1885,
since which time he has given his atten-
tioB to real estate. He has been prom
inent in politics and in his party. He
was in the legislature in 1875, adiutant
general in 1875, and oil inspector from
1888 to 1887. He has also been trus-
tee of the soldiers home since its incep-
ton. In 1866 he married Miss Margaret
W. Jaquess, of Quincy, ILL.,, and to the
union were born seven children, three
sons and four daughters.

STARKEY ON THE STAND.
He Tells Why He Would Make a
Good Building Inspector.

Two hours were spent yesterday
morning in taking testimony in the
Starkey-Johnson building inspector
case. during all of which time Mr..
Starkey was on the stand. At the
previous session Mr.. Severance had put
the building inspector through a course
Of sprouts calculated to show what he
did not know about the duties of the
Office. Yesterday the case was reversed,
and, under the skilful questioning of
Mr.. Michaels, it was developed that Mr..
Starkey was practically familiar
with all the requirements of
competent inspector. The eXamina-
ton led through series of technical
questions on sewers and brick and
stone work. Mr.. StarKey also showed
his knowledge acquired during long
service as an alderman and member of
the board of public works. He felt GER
tain he was an expert in the matter of
brick and stone aud said he believed he
was abundantly capable of discharging
the duties of the Office of building in
spector. incidentally he said he relied
upon the text books for rules for find
ing areas. ETC., and believed that was
customary in the best architects Offices.
At the conclusion Of this testimony.
and when noon was reached, the hear
ing was adjourned until 10 a. m. today.
