A CONSIGNMENT OF FIREARMS.
Cause of the Scare to the Govern
ment of Further Filibustering.


ment of Further Filibustering.
Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. H-Government
officials seem to have an apprehension
that a filibusterlng expedition is about to
leave from some port in Florida, but so
far there have been no movements to
warrant this suspicion. The steamer
Dauntless remains tied up at her wharf
in this city and the mouth Of the river
is guarded by the gunboat Wilmington.
Commander Todd has orders not to let the
Dauntless leave here unless he is positive
that she has nothing aboard, and he will
carry out these instructions, even il it
shall become necessary to use force, which
it is not lilzfy will be the case.
The revenue cutter Boutwell, left here to-
day for Fernandina, where the
Morrill, is now stationed, and
that placed Is watched. A
large consignment of arms came through
Fernandina this week. arriving at Bruns-
wick from New York on one of the NAL
lory line steamers and consigned to a
Jacksonville firm. The government is
probably aware of this, and this Is what
has given rise to the suspicious.
Spanish Consul Carlo of Fernandlna Wis
tied the Morrill, at that place this after
noon, accompanied by the collector of GUS
toms, and when he left the cutter the
Spanish flag was run up and a salute Of
five guns was fired-something unheard of
before in this section

GUARDING AGAINST FILIBusrER1NG
The morrill, and the Boutwell, Have
Arrived at Fernandina.

Fernandina, Fla, Aug, 1.-THE revenue
cutter Morrill, arrived here this morning
from Wilmington and the cutter Boutwell,
came into port this evening. There is no
sign of filibusterng around the harbor.
but the presence of these two boats in
the harbor certainly indicate that the gov
ernment expects there is something on
foot
1t was supposed that the Morrill, went to
sea late this evening, but later informa>
ton is that she is lying at anchor down
in the sound. and that she has orders
to remain here until relieved by another
vessel. The officers of the Morrill,, on her
arrival, Capt II. d. Smith and Chief En-
gineer II. ID. Glover, came ashore and
visited Collector G. l.. BaltzelI, who, in
company with them, paid Spanish Con-
sui So Carrie an official visjk at the con-
sulate. An invitation was Il {led to Senior
Carrie to come aboard the Morrill,, and
during the afternoon he went on board,
where the consul and collector and ofn-
GERS probably discussed the situation.
AS Consul Carrie was leaving the ves-
sci the Spanish flag was run upon board
the Morrill, and five shots as n salute was
fired, the Spanish consul replying by re-
moved his hat. This is the first salute
ever extended any one in Fernandina har-
Dor by a United States vessel. 1t is need
less to say Consul Carrie feels very juBi-
liant over the courtesy extended him. He
was a. the consulate this evening. but
positively refused to talk further than to
say he was treated royalty by the cap
tain and officers of the cutter. Col. n.
B. Borden says there is no shipment to
be made from here to Cuba, and he can't
see why the two cutters should be or
dered here

Lead Judge Willis to Make IA Few
Remarks About IA Growing
EVIL.

Armed with the authority from the
district court, yesterday morning Dep
uty Sheriff Marks sWooped down on
the household effects and office furri-
ture belonging to ex-State Senator Ed
ward H. Ozmun, now United States
consul to Stuttgart, Germany, and
levied upon them IN satisfaction of a
judgment of long standing. This judg-
ment is for $9269.60 and was entered
Of record on May rs, 1896, in favor OF
George L. FarWell.
Prior to his departure for Germany,
about three months ago, to assume
charge of his consulate post by the
grace of the present national admin
istration, Senator Ozmun stored his
household effects in the warehouse of
the James Lewis Storage company,
on Third street, and he turned his;
law library and Office furnishings over
to the keeping of William Ely Bran
hall, who is located in the, New York
Life building. The deputy sheriff coli
ffscated everything in sight at both
locations that was owned by Consul
Ozmun. Sheriff Wagner will remain
in possession of the goods and chattels
until they are legally advertised, and
then he viii sell them at public auction
to satisfy the judgment.
The suit from which this sheriff
levy resulted was brought in the dis
trict court by Mr.. FarWell after d Sc
ries of financial dealings with Mr.. o.
nun, which dated from April 4, 1897.
The records in the clerks office show
that on this date the United States
consul borrowed from Mr.. FarweH 81
900 on a promissory note, to run for
four months at per cent interest. On
Nov. s, of that year, Mr.. Ozmun eX-
ecuted another note to Mr. FarWell
for $333.33, payable in eight months,
and then followed a series of other
prOmissOry notes after this fashion:
On March 20, 1888, $3.50 May II, 1885,
$66.66; March IS, 1889, $825.53: April 4,
1889, S949 SO; March Is. $780, $769.07, the
/ last one being payable on demand.
The complaint in the suit shows that
none of these notes, nor the interest
accruirg therefrom, were ever paid,
and judgment was asked for the total
amount, With interest, which included
that on the 81, GEO from the date it was
made, and the principal and interest
on announcer loan CT So,UUV, luaue prior
to the first loan on a promissory note.
Defendant went into court with an
answer in which he denied the allie
cations of plaintiff on every count.
The suit was UP for hearing before
Judge Brill. and on Sept. 49, 1895, he
refused plaintiffs motion for an order
for the appointment of a receiver il
supplementary proceedings for Mr.. Or
nuns property Finally the case was
tried and judgments given against de-
PENDANT The question of the amount
actually due to Mr.. Farwell was given
to E. R. Holcombe, as referee, to de-
termine, and he placed it at the sum
entered in the final judgment,

who has been in the habit of doing
the plumbing work for years. sought
to purchase material for the proposed
work, but was informed by the job
bling house which dealt in the sup
plies that he would first have to have
an order from a licensed plumber.
German reported to his employers.
and the materials were procured else
where. When German commenced the
work complaint was made to Building
| Inspector Kingsley, and that official
notified German that under the law
he could not engage in plumbing until
he had procured a license.
Col. Weiz, of the Ryan. seen yester-
day. said that German had complied
with this requirement and had passed
the formal examination provided by
the city charter. This, however, did
not end the trouble, as German had
been informed that he would have to
be granted q license by the board of
water commissioners and would have
to make application and file a bond in
the sum Of $1,000, and only after the
application and bond had been ap-
proved could he engage in the work Of
plumbing. The application of Germain
was filed with the board of water com.
missioners and q bond, with Messrs.
Well and Frye as sureties. in the sum
of So 900, accompanied the application.
The matter viii be brought before the
board of water commissioners at a
meeting to be held tomorrow morning,
and representatives of the plumbers
association will, it is understood, be
on hand to oppose the granting Of the
license.
Representatives of the plumbers as
ISOLATION claim that under the law
passed by the last legislature German
is not entitled to license until he
has passed an examination before the
board appointed under the new law
Col. Welz did not care to discuss
the matter except to say that it was
absolutely necessary that he should
have a practical plumber in the hotel
so that at moments notice repairs
could be made if needed. German.
he said was a competent man and
had done the work for years without
anv comnlaint being made by plumb
ers engaged in business in the city.
The plumbers claim that if license
is granted to German it will be but a
olestion Of very short time before
all the owners 9of large buildings in
the CITY who employ an engineer will
take mt licenses for their men, and
the law passed requiring plumbers to
mass an examination and have mas
tered their trade before working at 1t

LOVE AND SUICIDE
Cause of Warren Eiared Ending His
Life.

Unrequited love was the cause of
the suicide of Warren Eldred, near
Meadow Lawn, Tuesday. The story of
the tragedy was told a G o b e repor-
ter by Coroner o. S. Watkins, of Will

affair. and who was in ST. Paul
yesterday.
Eldred was only twenty-seven years
of age, and lived with his sister in
a cabin on a claim near the village.
He had studied law and was about to
be admitted to the bar.
Some time ago he fell in love with a
neighbor's daughter, but she did not
return his affection, and his attempts
at love-making were coldly repulsed.
He brooded over this and became des-
pendent, so that it is believed his mind
was unbalanced.

CHARTER COMMISSION CONFLICT
ED BY THE APPOINTMENT
OF A. l.. ALNESS.
CALL FOR FIRST MEETING
EXPECTED TO BE ISSUED BY THE
JUDGES OF THE DISTRICT
COURT.
Same Course Likely Here as was
Followed in minneapolis in
the Organization.

Arne L. Alness, the president OF the
Scandinavian-Ameri bank, succeeds
c. N. Bell on the charter commission.
The judges of the district court an
nounced the appointment yesterday.
The delay in making it was due to the
fact that Mr.. Bell resigned during va
cation time, when the judges were alb
sent from the city. AS soon as the
opening of the October term required
the presence of the full bench, the ap-
pofntment was quickly made, the
judges experiencing no perpleHIy IN
uniting upon a man to replace Mf. Bell.
The original charter commission,
which came into existence, not by the
grace of the common council, which it
is understood does not represent the
people, but through a petition, was ap-
pointed by the district court judges on
Aug 5. It comprises a representative
BODY of men, none of whom refused to
serve the city of st. Paul, save en-.
Bell, who, in his lengthy letter of resig-
nation to the district judges, complain
ed that no provision for compromising
him and the other commissioners had
been inserted in the law. This over
sight was fatal in Mr.. Bells opinion,
and he Withdrew. after numerous type
written pages of explanation.
The commission, as it now stands, is
made up Of the following citizens:
W. P. Clough, Henry j. Horn,
Pierce Butler; j. f. hfleSef,
John D. OBrien, Greenleaf Clark,
+ J. Parker. George s. Innis,
II. c. McNair, A. H. Lindeke,
William B, Dean, J. " i husA.
w. ?. Murray A. l.. AlheSS.
w. H. L=ghtner,
The commission Will undoubtedly
meet some time shortly. The date has
not been fixed, as many of the com
missioners believe that it is the duty
of the district court judges to set the
date for the first meeting. In Mime
apolis, where a charter commission mas
been al work several months, the 1lrst
meeting, it is understood, was held at
q, time designated by the judges OF the
district court in that city. At that
meeting the commission elected it's
chairman and completed its organiZa-
ton. Thereafter it fixed its own dates
and places of meeting. Such course
will probably be adopted in St. Paul.
AS yet however, none of the mem
bers of the commission know When
the next step will be taken, the APP
NOAi1i1ASo
Gently. Judge J. w. LUsk, when seen
last evening, was not aware that the
vacancy on the commission had been
filed When informed of the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Alness, Judge Lusk said:
II have no idea when the commits
sion will meet. AS I understand it, the
district court judges are to name the
time, though I do not know that the
j. ]. Parker said that he had not
heard a word regarding the plans of
the commission. Like Judge Lusk, Mr..
Parker was surprised when the G o e
reporter informed him that the char
ter commission had been completed.
MIR. Parker did not know where or
when the commission would meet.
W. H Lightner was in equal doubt.
He said he knew nothing whatever
concerning the plans Of the commits
sion.
