Capt. Wyatt was greatly grieved at the
death of Taylor, who had been in his EN-

that the deceased was no ordinary sailor:
he was an exceptionally competent and
faithful employe, whose place will be hard
to fill The captain stated that Taylor

the past few days, but he had no idea
that he was seriously III. In fact, he had
prepared breakfast for the captain and

Other Changes in Ocean Steamship
Forces TO Take Place May 1.

FOrces 10 rake race Way i.
Capt. H. NJ. Branch of the Ocean Steam
ship Company retired yesterday from his
position with the company. Capt
Branch's force of clerks also retired The
other changes indicated in the Morning
News will take place May l. Until then
all the officials and employees at the Gen.
trail railroad offices on Bay street will re,
tain their positions.
After this month the Ocean Steamship
passenger department will be transferred
to the Central railroad ticket office on Bull
street Mr.. w. G. Brewer having been
made city passenger and ticket agent for
the Ocean Steamship Company, as wei as
for the Central railroad.
Laborers at the wharYes are now paid
by the hour, instead of by the week. as
formerly. All of the railroads laborers
are paid by the hour, and as all the ac-
counts Of the two companies are to be
audited in the same office, the change will
insure uniformity in methods. 1t is es-
timated that the change will be a matter
of nearly 81 week to each laborer. By
the week system of paying, each received
IS for his weeks work but at 10 cents per
hour, working the same time, 50 will be
the weekly pay.
II is not known as yet just how many
clerks will be thrown out Of employment
by the consolidation of the office forces
of the two companies. Vice President
Egan said last night that provision will
be made for all OF the clerks that can pos
sibly be used. The companies, he said,
do not desire to have the men lose en-
ployment, and every effort will be made to
find them other berths. The Clerks have
given good service. 1t is not a cutting
down of the force of moderate salaried
employees, he said, but higher paid officials.
that was aimed at by the consolidation.

The military companies that the dar-

commands has dubbed itself, being usual

began to grow wearied of the noise the
gang raises and appealed to the police to
have it stopped. Two officers were sta
toned there last night to see what could
be done. AS they saw the company COM
ing down the street the officers put a long
plank across the entrance to Liberty
street lane right in front of the De Soto,
propping it against two telegraph
poles. They then separated and one went
to the corner of Liberty and Bull, and the
other to Harris and Bull. When the dar-
keys were at the hight of their fun, and
the strange jargon of zouave commands
and time keeping was falling out in con-
slant flow, the officers charged, and the
doughty troops at once took to their heels.
The route was complete and the zouave
with wooden guns thrown away, re-
treated in wild disorder to the entrance of
the lane. They had not counted, however,
on the attacking force, observing the STRAIT
egic advantage of this point, and they ran
full tilt into the flank. One after the other
of the shattered troops piled over the
plank, and, before they could rise to con-
tinue their retreat the enemy was upon
them. Three of the zouaves with several
stands of arms were captured. The prison
ers were Arthur Butler, William Stroder

PROPERTY TO MICHAEL

WAS TURNED INTO THE BANK.

PURCHASE WAS GIVEN TO RE

BEFORE HE WAS ASKED TO DO SO.
Assets of the Bank of Minnesota In
creased $4,000 by the VoIun-
tary Action of MIR. Smith.

The news. printed in the ST. Paul
papers few days ago obtained from
the records in the office of the register
of deeds, that Postmaster Robert A.
Smith, had transferred a quantity of
property ON Robert street, to Michael
Doran has given rise to considerable
comment among people who did not
take the trouble to post themselves as
to the facts in the matter, for the gos-
sip has gone so far as to intimate that
Postmaster Smiths acton gave him the
appearance of attempting to avail him
self of an opportunity to avoid meet
Ing and taking up certain financial
obligations in connection with the Bank
of Minnesota
One Or two unthinking depositors
actually inquired yesterday, if there
was any way in which they could pro-
tect themselves from this attempted
evasion of responsibility.
Receiver Frank Seymour, seen yes
terday afternoon, said to a reporter
for the G 10 b e that amy such senti-
ment did Mr.. Smith a gross injustice.
Although somewhat reluctant to speak
about what might be a personal mat
ter, Mr.. Seymour gave out the follow
ing facts:
POSTMASTER Smith sold his Robert
street property to Michael Doran for
the sum of $4,000. There was a mort
gage on the property Of 100000. After
taking out taxes, accumulated inter
est, commission, etc. Mr.. Smith paid
in the balance to me as receiver, the
sum being nearly $4,000, which has
been applied on paper held in the bank
and bearing Mr.. Smiths Endorsement.
That is all there is to it, and it is only
fair to Mr.. Smith that the real facts
should be known. I wish we had had
a lot more people who feel the same
way about the bank as he does"
Instead of laying himself open to any
criticism, it appears, that Mr.. Smith
has voluntarily and before he had been
asked to do SO, disposed of property
and turned in the proceeds to aid that
much in making good the liabilities of
the institution with which he was con-
nected.
