Embezzlement Charged.

Charles Strale. a married man residing at
404 Fourth street northeast, for year and a
half collector in the employ of Winecke &
Doerr was locked up at the central police
station last night on the charge of embez-
element. Inspectors Munkinson and Hicks
made the arrest upon a warrant, as Strale
returned from a business trip to st. Paul
early last evening. 1t is alleged that Strale's
populations have been going on since Dec. /,
1896, but 1t was only yesterday that positive
exact amount alleged to have been embez-
zled, his employers say, they do not know
until the matter has been more fully investi-
gated. Strale, however, is said to have ad-
mitted that the amount he has taken did not
exceed $3.50

Goodnow Assigns.

Judge Simpson signed order appointing
7. J. Buxton receiver for the firm of Good
now & Lawther. The appointment was made
on the petition of Arthur H. White, who states
in his petition that he is entitled to $240 for
his services for the firm which has not been
paid, that the firm is wholly insolvent and
not able to pay its debts. The liabilities of the
firm are placed at $4,000 and the assets at
100000 The petitioner is a relative of Mrs.
Cora D. Lawther, the junior partner in the
firm This action in no way affects the base
ball association, In which John Goodnow has
been an active worker. 1t is said that the
receivership was precipitated in a measure
by the divorce ended Thursday. The in
solvency will hold, however, as the decree
of divorce has not yet been granted.

LIABLE, FOR THE ERROR.
Western Union Beaten in an Impor-
tant Suit

BISMARCK, N. D.. April SO.-A lawsuit in
which Capt. /. P. Baker is the plaintiff and
one Western Union Telegraph company the
defendant, has just been settled here, the
very nice question being involved of the liza
blhty Of the telegraph company for the cor
rectness of Its service. Cape. Baker was bid
olng on government contract in 1891 to sup
ply corn, oats, ETC., to the Standing Rock
indian agency. He sent a cipher message to
MS agent at Washington, D., c., and in the
message appeared the following, as he wrote
It: Jenkins 149 per hundred" The telegraph
company delivered it Jenkins al per hun.
drcd." That meant &c per 100 pounds less for
corn lfor which Jenkins was the cipher
tnan the bid was intended.
Capt. Baker got the contract at $1.41, and
as there was no bid for less than ST. 40, he
inquired that he was out some $500 because of
the &c error. The company refused 10 make
the loss good, and pointed to the printed mat
ter at the top of their telegraph blanks, which
states very fully that they are NOT liable for
mistakes beyond The cost of the message
They insisted that Capt. Baker had made a
contract with them, and signed it, and he
was bound by the printed matter on the blank
Inc case was tried without jury, and Judge
winchester decided in favor Of Baker. The
company acted for while as If it was going
to appeal, but it did not, but instead, has lust
paid the money. The costs and interest since
1881 run the amount to over $500.

JERREMs FOR COACH.
Ski-u-M Nah Thirsts for Revenge on
Wolverines and Badgers.

Jerrems and Moulton will again be the
coach and trainer of the university football
team. At meeting of the advisory board
Thursday afternoon the contracts with these
two gentlemen were presented by the foot
ball management for final action. They had
been decided to be o. X. at previous meet
ing and no kick was registered by the faculty
members to having the contracts accepted
and signed by the football management
The fact that these two will again have
charge of the men inspires the members Of
the team and the students with large hope.
There are two old sores to heal this fall
Michigan's scalp must dangle In the belt
of the Ski-U-Mah warriors and Wisconsin g
colors must be dragged in the mud Of the
Minneapolis streets. The defeat of the Min
nesota team by the Wolverines last fall was
such that every loyal son of Minnesota is
itching to get at them again. While the de-
feat at Madison was humiliating, it was not
half so bad as that by. Michigan. Yet when
Wisconsin comes to Minneapolis next fall
an eleven will line up against them that
intends to repeat If possible the famous
40 to exhibition.

At meeting OF the executive committee OF
the Carnival association held yesterday, the
events of the coming fall season were found
to be progressing nicely, and plans were laid
to vigorously push the work in the near flu
ture. 1t is expected that the autumnal festivi-
ties of the fall of '97 will greatly eclipse all
previous efforts, as the advantages and benefits
are more thoroughly understood and appreci-
ated by all.
The resignation of w. L. Harris as presi-
dent of the association, was received, and re-
gretfully accepted and John A. Schlener was
elected in his place, Mr.. Harris remaining

Turkish empire should be destroyed,
two hostile armies facing one another
only lew rods apart is permitted with
out any protest. 1t is impossible to re-
view the conduct of the Powers since tte
CTetpn revolt began without being led
to the conclusion either that they have
been utterly insincere in their claim to
be acting purely for the sake of preserv-
ing the peace Or that their arrangements
have been actuated by the most disgrace
ful stupidity. The annexation of Crete
to Greece would have sett ed MI the
trou bic long ago and dispelled whatever
war cloud there was OH tie horizon. 1t
could have be brought about without any
active interference on the part of the
Powers. The probability is that Turkey
itself would have made no very
strenuous opposition. But it would have
destroyed the integrity Of the Turkish
empire. This is the fetch which all the
Powers have deemed it necessary to wor-
ship though they all know it is a fraud,
inasmuch as through their acts and de-
| crees, it has been violated again and
again during the last fifty years, and it
is this worship that now threatens to
imperil the peace of Europe. Had the
Powers kept their hands off entirely and
let the Cretan question alone most likely
the danger Of war would be much less
today than 1t is. 1t is next to impossible
to believe otherwise than that the
dominating influences amongst tie
Powers, which emanate from the War
Lord of Germany, and the Gar of Russia
| are determined that Greece shall reap 10
advantage from the Cretan insurreotion.
All their efforts have been exerted to re-
strainiDg her. The fleets of the Powers
have been interposed to make her ships
| useless to her. On the other hand it does
not appear that they have lifted fir ger
| against the Sultans hurrying troops in
large numbers to the Greek frontier. To
all intents and purposes the admirals
who are blockading the Cretan ports are
in active alliance with the Turks,

occasionally sending their men to help

The determination of the Democratic
members of the Senate, which is voiced
by Senator Jones, not to offer any
factious opposition to the tariff bill, is
undoubtedly good political policy. TIE
new tariff law will or will not revive our
industries. If it does the former by offer
ing no obstruction, the Democrats will
be entitled to the negative credit of
having done nothing to retard prosrerity
If it does not meet the reputation of It's
friends the Democrats or Populists will
be in a position to say to the country,
that the Republicans have had full oppor-
tunity to restore prosperity. and have
failed; therefore the business should be
handed cut to US and chance should be
given to try free silver coinage. During
the campaign Chairman Jones did not
win much reputation for shrewdness, but
he is evidently doing better now.

THE LAW COURT.

The following decision was received
Saturday at the clerk of courts office from
the Law Court:
Inhabitants of Dover VS.. Marie Water
company.
Rescript by Walton J.-This is nd
action against a water company to re-
cover town tax. Payment CT the tax is
resis red on several grounds.
l.-ExemptlOn. The aquaducts, pipes
and oondnits of water companies are ex-
empt from taxation when the town takes
water therefrom for the extnguishme
OF fires without charge Il. S chapter
6, section 6. clause 10. The defendants
claim exempt under this provision of the
statute. The claim cannot lie sustained.
The evidence fails to show that water is
so taken by the town. The water COM
pany furnishes water to village corpora
t10n for such purpose. But not without
charge 1t is paid for all the waters fur.
nished.
S.-IlleRality. 1t appears that the
assessors omitted to tax the town poor
farm and small parcel of land on which
an engine house stands They also
omitted to tax the land on which the
county court house stands and the hall
In which the town meetings are held.
And the court is asked to determine If
these omissions did not render the entire
assessment Illegal and void. We think
not. If such omissions should be held to
vitiate and render invalid the entire as
sessment, we doubt if there is one In the
state that could be sustained. The copse-
quences of such Doctrine are enough to
condemn it. No case is cited in support
OF such doctrine. The contrary has
been held.
3.-Non residence. 1t is claimed that
the defendant corporation is not an in
habitant of the town of Dover; that its
principal place of business is In Gardiner
and, consequently. that it's personal
property is not taxable in Dover; and it
is insisted that it's reservoirs, pipes and
hydrants should be regarded as personal
property. 1t is conceded thai the court
held otherwise in Paris vs. Norway Water
Company, 85 Maine, $50. But it il
claimed that that decision is of doubtful
authority, and should be disregardsd 1t
was there held that the pipes, hydrants
and conduits of water company are,
under the tax laws of this state, real
estate and taxable in the town or city
where they ars situated. That case was
ably argued and carefully considered,
and We think the question must be re-
garded rs res judicata.

Greeks say that the attacking party were

DAM ell w. Voorhees,.

Washington, April 10.-Daniel Woolsey
voorhees,, United States Senator from the
state of Indiana, died at o'clock this
morning at his home In this CITY, No. 1O5
Marylanh avenue. The Senator had been
in poor health for several years, and for
at least two years past had taken little
part in the proceedings in the Senate
He had been constant sufferer from
rheumatism OF the heart and his friends
therefore had come to expect that they
might hear of his death suddenly. The
last reports of him, however, were that
he was showing some signs of improve
ment and his death, therefore. while not
en- irely unexpected, came with the sud.
denness of O shock.
Senator Voorhees, was 76 years of age
last September, and hal been for many
years one OF the most picturesque figures
in the Senate.
The 'Tall Sycamore of the Wabash, -
as he was affectionately called by his de-
voted followers In the Hoosier state. was
the ranking Democrat of the finance com
mittee and by virtue of this position, the
nominal leader at least of his party on
the floor of the Senate on tariff and finan-
cial questions. He was not very active.
however, owing to this ill-health in the
work of the Wilson tariff bill, most of
the Senate amendments to this bill and
it's final passage after stormy career in
which it was in serious danger several
times, being due to Senator Jones Of
Arkansas.
In the repeal of the Sherman silver law
tho Hoosier Senator however, took very
prominent part. 1t was his last import.
ant work in the Senate and the final ac-
conn ]ishment of the repeal was due
largely to the effective support he
rendered to the Cleveland administration
VIII oh had made the repeal one of it's
chief purposes. The finance committees
at this time WAS almost evenly divided
on the financial question and the balance
of power In the committee lay practical
ly with Mr.. Voorhees,.
