announce that I have retired from

stormy interview with Martin JUL

training quarters to see and en-
deavor to persuade to agree to post

had just partaken of a hearty din

and, turning to a friend at his ell

and allowing myself to be dragged
from one point to another. 1 am
satisfied now that this man Fitzsim-
mons does not want to fight, and
will not be here to meet me. If he
is anxious to fight why doesn't he
come on right now, before there is
a law passed in the state to prevent
us from meeting? He won't fight,
and l don't intend to lose any more
time fooling with him.
Julian had only to say that on the
morning of the 31st Fitzsimmons'
name would be found on the register
Of the Arlington hotel; that he would
be ready to meet Corbett then, and
no sooner or later, and that if Cor
bett was not here he would claim
the forfeit and the championship of
the world.
An hour later Corbett changed his
mind about leaving for ST. Louis in
the morning, and gave it out that
he would remain here until after the,
31st, come what would.

SAUK CENTER, Mimi, Oct. o.
Thousands of bushels Of the finest po-
tatoes we have ever seen produced in
this country have been destroyed by
the recent heavy frosts and it is con-
jectured that before many moons pota-
toes will sell for at least 30 cents.
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, Oct.
22.-The hard freeze last night and the
night before worked serious injury to
undug potatoes, of which there are yet
hundreds of acres here.
WAUPACA, Wis, Oct. 22.-The cold
wave brought an immense freeze Sat
urday and Sunday nights, causing a
big loss to farmers who have potatoes
to dig in this section of Wisconsin.
1t is estimated that one-half of the po-
tatoes in the ground are ruined. Farm
ers estimate that only about three
fourths of the crop has been dug.
CUMBERLAND, Wis, Oct. 22.-The
cold snap last night froze nearly half
of the enormous potato crop tgl this re-
g;on, amounting to many thousands of
bushels. Hundreds or acres of pota-
toes that would have yielded 200 to 300
bushels of potatoes to the acre will not
be harvested.

MADISON Mimi, Oct. 22.-Fire
last night burned up half the bust
ness portion of this town. The loss
is estimated at $15O,O00, insurance
$4,000. The buildings burned num-
Der forty. The fire was discovered
in the rear end of Hagestead's S
general store at midnight. The fire
department was summoned in haste,
with the wind blowing from the
north, that it soon consumed all the
business blocks clear down to the
railroad track. Although the fire
engine worked faithfully for over
three hours, the fire could not be
checked. But for the Mantel brick
block on the West side, and Peterson
& Pegrum's brick block, on the east,
which stopped the flames, the bal
ance of the business buildings on
Main street would have gone.
A few of the heavy losses are:
~Postoffice building, belonging to A.
G. Mackey, loss, $4,000; Simon & Son,
building, loss $4,000; J. H. Driscoll,
postmaster, stamps and fixtures, law

burned, a few of them loaded with
hard coal and wheat. G. P. Kjesness
is probably the heaviest loser, hav-
ing lumber, wood and coal burned.

elevator also burned with 1000
bushels, and two cars of wheat were
destroyed. Dr. w. E. Todd's dwell
ing house and Office was burned, loss
$2,500, insurance $1,000. Many other
buildings burned not mentioned here.

DULUTH MAKES A DEMAND.
Zenith City Wants the State Bank
to Pay Up.

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 22-This morn
ing the city treasurer called on Presi-
dent Hail. of the State bank, to demand
payment of the city's deposit of S3,015
in the bank, and in case payment is
refused or delayed the city is to imme-
diately institute suit against the bank
and its bondsmen. The bank has as
signed to A. J. Davidson, president of
the First National bank, of Little Falls
Mimi. The assignment was probably
prec.pitated, in a measure, by the ac-
ton of the state treasurer. The state
has about $4,000 on deposit in the bank,
but, according to the interviews with
Treasurer Koerner, the states bond
was only for 5000. The treasurer i'm
mediately drew on the bank for $4,000,
the withdrawal of which amount would
have brought the deposit within the
limit of the bond. The bond given by
Stuckey will be very hard to collect; in
fact, it is doubtful if any of the bonds
men can be legally held.
Regarding the state funds 1t is said
tonight that the balance of $2S, 900
which the state had on deposit in the
bank has been practically unchanged
for year, but this cannot be verified.

A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS
REPORTED TO BE REQUIRED TO

ANCE.
WHAT AUDITOR MARTIN SAYS
w. III. O,Nein the Man Who Ma,
Have to Make an ExpIana-
ton.

The employees of the local freight
office of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company have been considera-
bly, exercised over the absence from
his accustomed place at the cashier's
desk of William H. O'Neill. Mr..
ONeill has been in the employ Of
the company for five years, and
there has never been a suspicion that
his books and accounts were not
absolutely correct.
Early this month O'Neill, who
lives at 79 East Isabel street, West
st. Paul, was taken sick, and, all
though thasfact was not immediate.
ly reported to the general office.
General Freight Agent Dixon put
another man at work in his stead.
About the time O'Neill returned for
duty, week ago, Travelling Auditor
CALVIN began checking over his ac-
counts. The work is still unfinished,
but it has been discovered that there
is discrepancy or a mistake Of
something like $1,400.
Auditor Michael P. Martin. of the
road, was seen regarding the matter
and asked if the report of a discrep-
ancy were correct. He said:
when O'Nei1l, who is a married
man, and has been in the roads en-
ploy for five years, was taken sick on
Oct. and a substitute put on in his
place, was not. Immediately notified.
On his return to his desk a week ago
Col Taylor, auditor of accounts. or
dered a checking up of his books and
accounts, with the result that a short
age of about s1,40O has been diseov-
cred. Travelling Auditor Calvin, as
sisted by one Of the men in the office.
has been at work for some days going
over the figures, and will probably
conclude his labors tomorrow night.
The freight office does big business
and the checking up is quite a task.
'O'Neill was checked last in August
and the discrepancy mentioned ap-
pears to be funds reported as uncoI-
lected charges, when they had really
been collected. O'NeiH has been sus-
pended, as is always done in cases of
this kind, but will probably be given
an opportunity 10 explain the shortage
If he can. He is bonded by the Ma
tional Surety company for not less
than s. O00''

WHEELER ON TRIAL.
The Testimony at Pierre Rather
Sensational.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 22-The inveSti-
cation of S. A. Wheeler, commissioner
of labor statistics, on a charge of NAL
feasance in office was called in the gov
ernors office at o'clock this afternoon.
Emmett Cole, the discharged clerk and
complaining witness, was on the stand
nearly all afternoon. His testimony
was practically that he entered into
an agreement with the commissioner
to draw the salary for compiling the
census and give Wheeler one-third of
it, but that his agreement was only
made under a threat of discharge for
refusal and with no intent of keeping
the promise. which he certainly did
not. The sensation was the testimony
of Coles wife, who testified that
Wheeler stated in her presence in an
swer to a question that he would be a
fool to rustic for an Office and then not
get all he could out of it, and that he
would challenge her to point to state
officer who did not do the same. The
state then rested on direct testimony
and the hearing was adjourned to 10
O'Clock tomorrow, when the defense
will be heard.

FORK OVER THE CASH.
WinOna Treasufers Seem to Have
Erred a Triffe,

Special to the Globe.
W1NONA, Mimi, Oct. 22.-The may
or's message to the city council, at
their weekly meeting last night, has
caused a good deal of discussion here.
1t brought up a matter that he had
brought to the city fathers some time
ago. They in turn referred it to a spe-
c1al committee, which never made a
report. His message last evening was
very decided. 1t was on the subject of
interest money on the city funds. Some
of the back treasurers have pocketed
1t, claiming it as their own, while 9TH
ers have turned it over to the city. The
mayor said in his communication: 1.-THE
facts are that such money does not,
and never did, belong to those who
have taken It, and while the statute of
limitations may, up to a certain date,
protect those who held the office OF
treasurer, and thus profited at the ex-
pense of the city, those holding since
that time can and should be called to
account" AS may be imagined the
message has caused a stir here, be-
cause a number of thousand dollars
are involved, besides a long-disputed
question in this city.

OLNEY MAY RETIRE.
story That the Secretary of State
Is About to Resign.

CHICAGO, Oct. pa special dispatch
to the Inter-Ocean from Washington
says: Owing probably to the fact that
Secretary Olney did not go to Atlanta
with the president and party, but did
leave for Boston today, a rumor is
afioat and will be published tomorrow
that Mr.. Olney is contempla ting retire
ment from the cabinet. The alleged
excuse for this is a supposed disagree
ment between himself and the presf-
dent in regard to the foreign policy, es-
pecially with reference to the Vene-
zuelan matter in which the rumor says
that Mr.. Olney favors a more vigorous
course than does the president The
rumor, however, is entirely unconfirm-
ed, and, owing to the absence of Mr..
Olney and President Cleveland, as well
as all members of the cabinet, it is
impossible to obtain any definite in
formation which will confirm or dis
prove it.
