GIVES IT A LOCAL TINGE
STORY ON WHICH THE "GREAT
DIAMOND ROBBERY" is BASED
Legal Fight Over the Recovery of
the Jewels Was Pushed to n Sue
cessful End by Harold Swain, "A
BrOther-in-Law of Allen ii. Stem,
q st. Paul Architect.

1t Is not generally known that the
Great Diamond Robbery" the play
which has been produced at the Metro
polltan opera house this week, is based
upon an actual robbery. The famous
Hamilton robberyin New York, which
was committed ink 1884, was the crime
which suggested the play. A sister OF
Robert Ray Hamilton was the victim,
and among the persons implicated in it
were Mother" Mandelbaum, the no
torious fence, and Aid. Jaehne, the
boodler, who was sent; to Sing Sing for
accepting bride for his vote in favor
OF Jacob SharpS Broadway railroad
franchise
THOMAS Byrnes, who was then at the
head of the detective force, arrested
Mother Mandelbaum and took Jaehne
from prison to court to testify against
Mother Mandelbaum. Jaehne confess
ed that he received some silver ware
from Mother Mandelbaum and melted
1t, but he claimed that he did not
have any guilty connection with the
robbery Of Miss Hamilton.
1t was proved that Mother Mandel-
baum received the stolen goods and
knew that they were the proceeds OF
robbery, and that that kind of bust
ness was her speciality. When she saw
that there was no escape for her she
jumped her bonds and went to Canada
and there she lived with her daughter
in Montreal until her death, which oc-
CURED a year or two ago.
Jaehne is now living in New York
! He attempted to get back into politics
after his release from prison, but the
combination of Doodle and stoler
spoons was too strong for the voters ir
his district and he failed to secure q
vindication. He has since remained
modestly in the background.
There are other interesting features
In the story. Four or five lawyers
were connected with the case, but
singularly, every one of them died be-
fore 1t was completed.
This succession of deaths made SUI
perstitious persons believe that there
was hoodoo somewhere, and that the
case was unlucky.
Finally Harold Swain, q young law
yer, took hold of 1t and pushed II
through and won a victory and as a
diamonds, which had been recovered.
A short time afterwards he was
stricken with typhoid fever and 1t was
thought that he would fall a victim
of the strange fatality that seemed to
haunt the affair." but to the surprise OF
everybody he got we'll. He has since
married Margaret Reed, the famous
singer, to whom he gave the diamonds
which he received for his services.
Margaret Reed is sister-in-law OF
Allen H. Stem, the architect, whose
office is in the Benedict building, this
city.
The Hamilton robbery was made the
basis of a novel by Julian Hawthorne
and is one Of his detective series. The
| play Is not, however, a dramatizatior
Of the novel, but an original version.

NEW NORTHWESTERN TRAINS.
Some of the More Prominent Fen
lures Possessed by Them.


The new Northwestern Limited has eone
INTO commission between the Twin Cities
and Chicago, and it certainly is a. beautiful
train. In appearance, in finish and equipment.
1t Is the equal of any regular train pulled
out of st. Paul
Among the prominent new features are
observatory vestibules permitting the use of
ene car platforms for observatory purposes:
OUTSIDE electric lights lighting the platforms
at al dark stations; a perfected system of
e Secure reading lights for each seat in the
sLeepers; a standard sleeper divided into
tnree separate departments; buffet car with
more elegance and conveniences than any
clup ROOM and a compartment sleeper that
is above description. Each compartment in
tne sleeper Is furnished off with different
theme of decoration and upholstering. All
tne WOODWORK of the whole train is hand
carved and deliberately inlaid
Gas, as well as electricity, is used for
lighting, and both can be regulated TO suit
the fancy of the occupants Of the bertbs'
me train will be at the union depot each
evening from to $40

Two questions kept the members OF
the Joint court house and city hall COM
mission in session until nearly O'Clock
last evening.
One was the question whether the
city and county or the fire depart
ment should stand the expense of put
ting in a tile flooring in the room to
be occupied by the new fire alarm sys-
tenn.
The other burning question was
launched by Court Commissioner Gal
lick, who wanted to know If the COM
mission would provide other quarters
for him in the court house building, as
the construction of a vault in the Of
fee of the register of deeds will crowd
Capt. Gallick out of his present quar-
tiers.
After a long and desultory discus
sion of the former problem, the COM
mission instructed the secretary to no
tify the fire board that the room in the
basement of the building to be occu-
pied by the new fire alarm system was
available, and that the fire department
might make such alterations therein
as were necessary at its own expense
that is. the fire department fund to
pay for the same.
AS for Capt Gallick, the commits
sion instructed Custodian Ames to find
other quarters in the court house
building for Court Commissioner Gal
lick. 1t is probable that the captain
may be accommodated with desk room
in the cloak room adjoining the coun-
ell chamber.
Custodian Ames Informed the COM
mission that he had offered to allow
Capt. Gallick to share his Office room
at the west end of the first floor, but
Capt. Gallick thereupon announced to
the commission that he did not care
TO be anywhere near Mr.. Ames.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION
VIII Hold a Session In ST. Paul In a
Short Time.

The Interstate commerce commission is to
sit in st. Paul March 28, when an interroga-
ton of railroad tariffs and schedules will
be taken up The fact has caused some talk
among freight men and shippers who recall
the fact that some time ago subpoenaes were
issued calling for their presence before the
United States grand jury.
The statement was made yesterday that
subordinates of the commission have been
serving subpoenas here and there, and no
body can be persuaded to talk much about
the matter.
1t Is supposed that the particular atten-
ton of the commission is to be directed to
the -four situation. At least representatives
of the big Touring houses have been in
Guided in the list with contracting agents
and fast freight line men. So far not many
notices have been served, If there is anything

Wound Slightly Improved.

JEFF Hudson, Webb Graham, Harry Hag-
genmiller and Minnie Smith, the Quartette
who were mixed up in the row during which
Archie Peters, colored, was stabbed, ap-
peared in the police court yesterday.
The charge made against the party was
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Peters being in the city hospital in a
critical condition from his wound and an at
tack of pneumonia, the case was continued
one week and the defendants committed to
jail.
The physicians at the city hospital reported
last evening that Peters was improving, and
there was chance for his recovery.

KINGsLEY,s BACK SALARY.

The Former Building Inspector Now
Suing the City for 1t.
William Kingsley has begun an action
against the city of St. Paul to recover the
sum of 81, 4O0 alleged to be due him on ac-
count of his salary as building inspector dur
ing the years 1896 and 1897.
The city charter gives the salary of the
building inspector at $500 per annum.
When Mr.. Kingsley entered upon the duties
Of the Office of building inspector In Janu-
airy, 1885, the common council passed a reso-
luton purporting to reduce the compensa-
ton Of the building inspector to s., 800 year.
Such sum, and no more, was paid to Mr..
Kingsley for his services during his term of
Office.
Corporation Attorney Markham has de-
INJURED to the complaint on the ground that
1t fails to plead the ordinance which provides
for the office of building inspector.

CHARGE HAS A REBOUND,
Unexpected Testimony In a Case
Instfgated by Edward Harbeck.

and Geranium Streets was the complaining
witness in the police court yesterday against
George Hoffman Jr., of 1898 Marion street.
Harbecks face showed signs of blows, his
left eye being draped in mourning. Hoff-
man and half a dozen witnesses, however,
furnished the court with preponderance of
evidence that it was Harbeck who assaulted
Hoffman.
The court dismissed the case against Hoff-
man after reading the youth a lecture. The
evidence brought out by Assistant Corpora
ton Attorney Hall was to the effect that
several of the young men who testified for
Hoffman were under legal age, and that they
had procured beer at the saloon.
1t is possible complaint will be made
against Harbeck charging him with selling
liquor to minors.
