HE CHARGES BRUTALITY.
James Mccarthy Says the Police
Maltreated Him.

James Mccarthy, accused of COM
plicity in the robbery of Cornfeldt's S
tailor shop, ATT Wabasha street, was
discharged in the police court yester-
day. The robbery took place on the
night Of Sept. II, and Mccarthy
claimed at this time to have been in
Yellowstone park, employed at one
of the hotels as a waiter. The man
ager Of the hotel was in court yes
terday with books showing the young
mans story to have been correct, and
Judge Twohy ordered his release.
Mccarthy claims that his arrest was
an outrage and that he was mistreat
ed by the police while in custody.
He had only been out of the city hos
pital a day when arrested, after un-
dergoing a painful operation, and says
he was thrown into a cell at the CEN
trail station and refused permission to
inform his physician, DR.. Hanley, or
his friends of his predicament. He
says he was hauled about until the
stitches in his leg were torn out and
that when DR.. Hanley finally came to
the station he was not allowed to see
him until the physician had gone to
the residence of Judge Brill and got
ten an order Of the court. When he
tried to tell the police his physical
condition, Mccarthy says Detective
Werrick shook his fist in his face and
declared that -'tile did not give a d
about his condition and that it would
be a good thing if he died anyway

street is contemplated. This additional
space is to be utilized for big gem
eral waiting room.
The depot will, of necessity, take on
new front, a very handsome design
for which has been submitted 1t is to
be of brick and stone, and will be
broken at the top by several peaks or
turrets.
There will be but one entrance from
Slbley street, and inasmuch as the
present entrance is at the foot of a
rather steep incline, 1t will be found
necessary either to make several ele-
vations on the depot floor or build an
inclined way from the entrance down
to the present floor level. With a forty
foot extension there are still left some
thing like twenty feet from the en-
trance to the building to the street.
This will be used for carriage way.
1t is not known whether the engineers
have included it in their report or not,
but the advisa bility of casing the pres
ent shed by fifteen or twenty feet has
been discussed, and this will doubtless
be done when any material improve
ments are set on foot With this ele-
walton will come also some much need
ed changes in the present imperfect
system of ventilation
1t is VariouSly estimated by the diff
ferent engineers that a new steel and
stone structure, such as would befit a
city of the size and Importance of st.
Paul, would cost $225, 900 to $3.50, 900. It is
expected there will be a meeting of the
Union Depot company at an early
date, when the matter will be taken up.
1t looks now like a new depot, rather
than such improvements as at most
would only help out the situation for
two or three years

GOES TO THE GAMEVVELL.
Contract for Remode1ing the Fire
Alarm System.

Alarm System.
The board of fire commissioners, at
a special meeting held last evening,
awarded the contract for a new fire
alarm system to the GameweL Fire
Alarm and Telegraph company, Of New
York the price being So, ,94025.
This is what is known as the Manual
system, with storage batteries, and the
contract calls for a complete central
office, with thirty circuits, a system
which can be added to Indefinitely as
it's capacity is practically unlimited
The same system is now in operation
in Chicago. Detroit, Buffalo, Boston,
st. Louis. Milwaukee and other large
cities.
When the bids were opened by the
beard, about a week ago, two pro-
posals were received, the above and
one from the United States Fire Alarm
company, the latter being a trifie the
cheaper. The board appointed a COM
mittee, consisting of City Electrician
Varnum and Superintendent of Fire
Alarm Cary, to visit other cities and
examine into the respective merits of
the systems. The committee visited
Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit and Au-
rora, returning Wednesday, and sub
mitted the report at full meeting of
the board, in executive session, last
evening. The committee made no
recommendations. but after listening to
the result of their observations, the
board awarded the contract to the
Gamewell company by a unanimous
vote
F. G. Stover, representing the Game
we'll company, was in attendance, and
agreed to have the new system in op-
GRAFTON within ninety days after the
council approved the contract.
The Gamewell company put in the
present system fourteen years ago.
Chief jackson reports that it has given
excellent satisfaction, but that the citv
has outgrown it. There are now f76
boxes, and ten more will he added i'm
medlately after the new central Office
is put in
ThG present system is what is called
= utomatio," operated by gravity bat
teries, and having only six circuits
The new one will have double the
number of circuits and use storage
batteries, from which, Mr. Slower
claims, there will result a saving sufff-
clent to pay for the system in three
years.

Gotlieb Rau came to st. Paul from

Executive Agent Fullerton, of the
state game and fish commission, who
returned Yesterday from a week trip
in the northern part, Of the state, is
highly elated. over the turning down
of the Lacy habeas corpus case by the
supreme court yesterday:
He was convicted in a justice court
of Becker county, of having in his
possession two. prairie chickens, con-
trarry to the state game law. He was
sentenced to pay fine of $40, r serve
twenty days in jail. He secured his
release by the court commissioner on
a writ of habeas corpus. The sheriff
appealed to the. supreme court, which
reverses the commissioner and holds
that the court of habeas corpus deals
only with defects of a jurisdictional
character The question of the right
to handle game killed on an Indian
reservation can be determined only by
direct appeal. This will be deter
mined by other cases to come before
the supreme court later. Lacy, in the

The corporations and wealthy indi- viduals who are engaged in large man. ufaeturing establishments desire a high tariff to increase their gains.
