DIDN'T KNOW HIM.
Father of the Democracy Unac'
0uainted With Judge FIandrau.

Thomas Jefferson" called Capt
Bean yesterday, in the selection of a
jury to try the case of Theodore Kin
nen against the st. Paul Gas Light
company.
"Mr. Jefferson, do you know Judge
Flandrau, the counsel for the defend
anti" asked Attorney Kueffner, who
represents the plaintiff in the cause.
mo, sir, do not was the reply.
That's hard on you, Judge" whis-
pered Capt. Bean. ITS pretty tough
when an old Democrat like yourself is
denied by the father of Democracy"
Never mind" replied Judge Flan-
drau. st am too modern, but have a
witness here named Andrew Jackson,
who will speak for me-"
The suit in question is for the recov-
cry of $1,000 damages for the death OF
Joseph Kinnen. the fifteen-year-old boy
who was killed by taking hold of an
electric light wire on top Of the Union
block last spring. 1t was shown in the
examination of the witnesses for the
plaintiff, that the boy had been eau
toned by his companion against fool
ing with the wires. Judge Flandrau
moved for instructions in favor of the
defense on the ground of contributory
negligence. and Judge Kelly took the
matter under consideration until today

deprived of any of his substantial
rights. nor that he has been injured by
any OF the Irregularities complained
off,
In passing sentence upon Aid. Muir
ply, Judge Orr said that the case had
been the subject of much discussion
and publicity, and had undoubtedly
aroused more feeling than any case of
a similar nature previously tried in
Ramsey county. 1t was true that the
defendant was public official but the
law was no respector of persons. The
present case differed but little from the
Thiel case Of several weeks ago, except
that the evidence had been gone into
with more detail, and disclosed facts of
more revolving nature Otherwise
the cases were parallel
Under these circumstances the court
could see no reason to depart from
precedents established in similar cases,
and imposed fine of $780, in default
of the payment of which, defendant
would be committed to the workhouse
Tor period of three months
AL the conclusion of Judge Orr's re-
marks, Attorney Johns Immediately en-
tered an exception to the ruling of the
court in regard to the motion to set
aside the verdict, and served notice Of
an appeal to the supreme court.
Mr. Johns also made an application
for stay of the execution of sentence,
which was denied by Judge Orr. At
torney Johns then hurried to the cham
bers of the supreme court and placed
his application for an order for stay
OF execution before Chief Justice Start.
Judge Start promised the matter his
consideration this morning. Pending
the decision of Chief Justice Start, the
case went over until 9 o'clock this
morning.

WASN'T HIS FIGHT,
But George Ferguson Mixed I'm and
Was Arrested.

But George Ferguson Mixed I'm and
Was Arrested.
There was short, but lively encoun-
ter in Rohrbeck & Mertz's saloon, 422
Wabasha street, about o'clock yester
day afternoon, which terminated in the
arrest of George Ferguson, on the
charge of drunk and disorderly con-
duct.
The trouble which led up to the fight
was of a complex nature, though when
Ferguson entered in the affair he
was evidently of the opinion that he
could adjust matters in short order.
Charles e. Clark, of the real estate firm
of Clark & Fletcher, was the victim of
FergurSon's assault, and had not Of
ficer McEllistrom appeared on the
scene, he would doubtless have Jared
badly at the hands of his burly assail-
ant
1t seems that Mr.. Clark, who controls
the Stees block, at Seventh and Waba-
sha streets had ordered a tenant occupy
ing the two upper floors to Vacate the
property.
Yesterday Mr.. Clark, accompanied by
Attorney Cotton, called upon Messrs.
Rohrbeck & MertZ, who also rent from
Mr.. Clark for the purpose of trans
acting business of a. private nature.
When the two gentlemen entered the
saloon they were accosted by Fergur-
son, and the tenant whom Clark had
asked to vacate the up stairs.
Without a word, it is said, the man
whom Clark had ordered out, assaulted
the real estate man, striking him sew
eral times. Clark attempted to defend
himself, when Ferguson interfered.
Some one went for a policeman, and
found officer McEllistrom. The officer
hurried to the saloon, and learning the
status of affairs, asked Ferguson his
name and what he meant by his con-
duct.
''None of your d business" replied
the man, at the same time striking at
McEllistrom with his clinched fist. The
officer lodged the blow, and Ferguson
came at McEllistrom again. He aimed
a savage blow at the policeman, but
when he recalled the incident, his ten
seconds were up and he had been
counted out.
! At the central station Ferguson said
he was a laborer, forty-five years OF
age 1t is said that Mr. Clark yes
! terday declared he would swear out
warrant for the arrest Of his other as

The recognition of the Cuban revo-

topic of discussion at the semi-monthlv
meeting of the Gen. Wesley Merritt

Navy union, held at Arion hall 70%
west Third street, last evening. The
meeting was largely attended. and res
buttons of sympathy for the insurgent

AID. MURPHY FINED.
Judge Orr Denies New Trial and I'm

Judge Orr Denies New Trial and I'M
poses the Limit.
Judge Orr yesterday denied the mo-
ton for a new trial in the case of Aid.
Edward l.. Murphy, who was convicted
of keeping disOrderly house, and i'm
posed fine of $100. In reviewing the
argument made in support of motion
to set aside the verdict of the Jury
which convicted Aid. Murphy, Judge
Orr said, regarding the principal claim
of the defense, namely, the failure to
swear the bailiffs who took charge of
the jury:
After due consideration of the point
raised, and a consultation of the legal
authorities, find distinction between
the trial of felonies and the trial of
misdemeanors, such as the present case
is, which precludes the necessity of
especially swearing court officer to
whose charge jury is committed.
"The fact that the officers were not
particularly obligated in this case is
not sufficient ground for a new trial
unless prejudice is shown affirmatively.
From the affidavits submitted I find
nothing to have appeared which would
create presumption against the in
tegrity of the verdict. If prejudice
should exist it must be so shown by
the defendant"
The court also held that any rights
accruing to the defendant by the omis-
sion to swear the bailiffs were waived
by the failure of defendant, who was
present in court, too call the courts at
tention to the error atothe time.
In regard to the presence of court
otf1cers during the deliberations of the
jury" said Judge Orr the affidavits
show Watchman Gerlaoh to have been
in Court Room No. 8, but not until
subsequent to the agreement upon a
verdict and the affixing thereto of the
foreman's signature. The court can
not find that the defendant has been

NIINNESOTA,S MILITIA,
Reports Show a Decrease Because of
an Error.

A report Of the war department on
the organized militia of the various
states, showing the strength of the
states at the time of the 1895 encamp-
ments, has just been finished and
shows a decrease in the numbers ac-
credited to Minnesota, as in 1894 this
state had 2,570 soldiers, and in 1895
only 2,O27 are allowed. Adjt. Gen. Muehl-
berg, when his attention was called to
the matter, stated that the figures
were incorrect in the previous report,
as the national guard of this state was
now in better shape than ever, having
over 1000 soldiers for the first time in
it's history. Minnesota's showing is
not very strong, the state standing
nineteenth in rank as to number of
men enrolled.
The department supplements the re-
port with an estimate that in an emer-
gency Minnesota could put less than
100000 men in the field, whereas in the
report for 1894 the number was placed
much higher The adjutant general
states, however, that these figures are
but guesswork, and not conclusive as
to the actual condition of affairs.

Retail Liquor Dealers Association
Formed for Something Else.
The semi monthly meeting Of the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers association was
held at it's hall, Wabasha and Eighth
streets, yesterday afternoon. There was
large attendance of members pres
ent, and number of matters of partic-
ular interest to the association were
enthusiastically discussed. The associ-
alton has some 800 members, though
there are a number of saloonkeepers in
the city who do not belong. A number
of new members will be admitted at the
next meeting, and it is the desire of the
association TO get in all saloonkeepers
in good standing in the community.
The question of politics came up be-
fore the meeting yesterday, but was
promptly ruled out of order, as the as
sociation is strictly non-partisan When
the proper time comes, however, the
particular course to be pursued by it
politically will be decided upon.
