In the Role of q Sailor.

The friends of w. j. Dutch. the ST.
Paul city ticket agent of the Great
Northern road. are congratulating him
upon his skill as a sailor, especially
since an episode that occurred last Fri
day. On that day number of Twin
City railroad men were in Duluth to
witness the departure of the new lake
racer Northwest, and as the latter
swung out FROM the harbor Mr.. Dutch,
with the native talent of an old tar,
boarded yacht, and, accompanied by
several friends. he proceeded to spin
tine big boat few bars, or nautically
speaking, knots. All went we'll
until the return of the party,
which met with mishap =
as they were about to enter the harDor.
For some unknown reason the yacht
became cranky and insisted upon polk
ing her nose into the piling and other
things until her bowsprit was smashed
to smithereens, just as though the chan
mel were not large enough. However.
they all made safe landing. but it is
safe to say that Commodore Dutch will
not attempt another race with the big
steamer. at least not in the near future.

Williams PECCADILLoEs.
The People Are Learning All
About Them.

AoOuS Il hOIH.
Poor Mr.. Williams! Like Mr.. Hol-
brook, of diamond" fame, he is having
his little peccadilloes talked about, writ
ten about. Yesterday morning in the
Carpenter divorce trial the defendant,
Albert n. Carpenter, was called to
identify plan of his house. James
Sacre and Donald j. Macarthur took the
stand and related about tue visits of Mr..
Williams to the house. The latter said
he had seen him come away from the
house after IL o'clock. Byron P. Jones,
neighbor, said he had seen Mr.. Will
Jams go to the house frequently and at
late hours. Burt Sacre testified that he
had seen man at a window in the rear
of the house. First he thought he was
a burglar, but he concluded it was MIR.
Williams.
E. j. Dahl said he had seen Williams
come TO the house in the summer of
by the rear of the house. When Will
Jams saw Dahl he slipped around to the
front door and presently was announced
as formally as you please. Dahl was
employed by the carpenters at the time.
Mrs. Mary Bengston, formerly a
domestic in the employ of the couple,
testified that Williams came to the
house and entered from the front, side
and back doors.
She said that Williams had way of
his own to ring the bell, and Mrs. Car
penter always recognized it. The wit
ness had seen him leave the house as
late as 1880 i'll the morning. AT nixht,
when leaving, he would go by way OF
Thirteenth street and Hawthorne ave-
hue. In the day time he USED Hennepln
avenue as a thUroughfare.
The above is sample Of the kind of
testimony given yesterday at the trial.
For dirtlness the case will stand alone

IN THE GUARD HOUSE.
A Soldier Would Not Engage in
Target Practice on Sunday.

A Soldier Would Not Engage in
Target Practice on Sunday.
OMAHA, June 2O.-The question OF
going to war OH Sunday has reached the
local barracks. and Fort Omaha man
is in the guard house because he woul
not shoot on the Sabbath. The matter
was made public by the receipt by a
local paper of the following letter, dated
Bellevue, Neb.. from Sunday school
companion of the prisoner:
Private Charles G. Coderquis. of Com
pany A. Second infantry, soldier noted
for his piety. has been arrested and con-
fined for refusing to engage in target
practice on the Sabbath, in compliance
with orders of Maj. Worth, Second in-
fantry, commanding the company. This
is said to be the first case GA record
when the military authorities have
brought the men under their command
down so near heathendom as to desig
nate the Sabbath day for such use as
target practice. We learn that the prac-
tice is nearly concluded, and that there
is lots of spare time, and there was no
use for the order and this shameful
quIs will be tried by court-martial."
Neither Maj. Benham. inspector of
small arms practice, nor Capt. Crowder,
judge advocate, had heard Of the diff
Guilty. Capt. Crowder said:
"A soldier has only one thing to do.
and that is to obey. What he should
have done was to obey orders, and then
entered complaint, which would have
been respectfully listened to. Any Off
Ger ordering unnecessary work OIL the
Sabbath would be severely reprl
manded."
AsHINGToN, June 20.-A story
coming from Omaha to the effect that
Charles Cederquis, private i'll the Sec
ond Infantry, is under arrest awaiting
court martial for refusal to participate
in the target practice on Sunday, met
with very prompt derial at the war
department today. The officers say the
man has undoubtedly assigned false
reason for his arrest, as target practice
on Sunday is unbeard of in the army.
and would be directly In violation of
the army regulations. The United
States soldier has always been exempt
frOm any unnecessary toll on Sunday,
and in that respect has much the adj
vantage of European soldiers. Even in
time of war this rule has been observed
whenever practicable. and during our
late civil war President Lincoln, quot.
ing the words of Washington. made a
general order enjoining the orderly OBJ
servance of Sabbath by officers and
men OF the army ana navy, and that tine
spirit of this order still pervades the
service

BECOMING QUITE HOT.
The Gas Investigation Enlivened
by Scraps.


by Scraps.
The Investigation before the gas ar
bitration committee was resumed yes.
terday afternoon, and at the outset of
what is fast assuming the proportions
of farce.comedy a lively passage at
arms took place between Mr.. Jackson,
counsel for the gas company, and City
Attorney Simpson. Mr.. jackson de-
sired Expert Guildin. who was on the
stand all day Tuesday, recalled to pre-
sent estimates based on 250,O0O,0OO
cubic feet. and Mr.. Simpson fatty re-
fused for the reason that the gas
company had failed to produce informa-
ton and Mr.. Guildln was secured by the
prosecution as an independent witness.
Mr.. Simpson gained his point, and
Guildin was barred out. This was but
the beginning Of a number of spats be-
tween the gentlemen, continuing
throughout the session.
President Harvey Brown. of the gas
company, was then called. and he occu-
pied the stand all of the afternoon.
The Characterization of Mr.. Brown
lasted over an hour, but did not develop
anything especially new, being inter
larded, however, with the usual number
of tits between counsel.
At $50 O'Clock an adjournment was
taken to 8 o'clock p. M.
The evening session was replete with
figures and statistics. A. E. Boardman,
of Macon, Ca, was the witness whose
testimony occupied the time of the COM
mlttee. He was the gas company's
witness, and Informed Mr.. Simpson
that he had been gas and water en-
gineer for twenty-one years. His figures
ON the cost of gas left no dOubt as to his
desire to make good showing for the
company and to prove that 81 gas was
thing not to be considered for single
moment. Gas, on the basis of $50, OOO,-
Ooo-feet plant. according to his figures,
cost Sl.1S per 1000 cubic feet. and on
the basis OF 250.U00,O0O cost S1.53 per

THESE ELEGANT BURGLARS.
They Do Things Now in q Hand
some Manner.

Minneapolis burglars have adopted
jhe methods of their more elegant
French brethren. There is now no
need for people TO have dread fear
upon going to bed that when the morn
ing dawns they are likely to fad their
money gone and their heads beaten in.
The burglars are now using chloroform.
Their victims fall asleep and dream of
sweet things, and awake to find all
their savings in somebody else's pock-
cts. The latest victim TO the refined
system of burglary is j. w. Croker,
who resides at 406 Third avenue south
Mr.. Croker is employed by Benz. the
liveryman, but he is industrious and
frugal. and Tuesday night lie was happy
IN the knowledge that he had $3.50 laid
aside tor rainy day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crocker went to bed as
usual, and at 2:30 the lady woke her
husband with the startling information
that burglars were in the house. He
felt peculiar buZzing sensation ia the
head, and SO did his wife. Two hand
kerchlefS that did not belong i'll the
house were found in the bed. They had
no idea at the time what significance
these handkerchiefs had.
Mr.. Croker rose from the bed and
took look around. He took peep out
OF doors and saw one man Running away
and another seated on the veranda. In
the latter he recognized a former
boarder, J. P. Douglas. Patrolman
Sullivan came along at this juncture,
and, together with Croker and Doug
las, proceeded to make tour of in
spection of the house. Douglas in the
meantime disappeared. 1t was found
that the house had been robbed, and
that the S543 which the couple kept con-
cealed under the pillows of their bed
was gone. Then it was discovered that
choloroform had been used, and that
while the couple lay peacefully snooz-
ing under its influence the burglars got
in their work.
1t was finally decided to take Doug
las in tow, ana after little search he
was located i'll the alley in the rear of
the houses. The servant girl of the
house stated that she had seen him
walk past the house during the evening
with another man. This. Of course,
seemed to poiut to his being implicated
ln~the robbery, and he was accordingly
locked up at the central station.
Douglas was arraigned before Judge
Holt III the police court yesterday morn
ng,and had his examination set for this
afternoon. Bail was fixed at $1,000,
which he could not furnish.

You resorted to forgery TO accomplish
your purpose. Mr.. Dun trusted you. l
