POLICE COURT DoINGs
Another Case for Theft of Metal Dis
 posed of This Morning.

Another Case for Theft of Metal Dis
 posed of This Morning.
 The city court, Judge Cowell presid- Ing, was occupied again to-day with a metal case. The accused was Joseph
 Berger, who was charged with receiv- Ing stolen goods, to wit, sixty-nine pounds of brass, knowing them to be stolen. He was defended by Attor- ney Russell. -..
 The evidence was to the effect that the goods in question are made by tn" Holmes, Booth X Haydens Go every
 ns y in the year. The witness for the state was all employe of the company and he testified that he worked on the goods, which seemed to be a large brass screw about seven inches long and an inch and a quarter thick. The piece in evidence was part of another piece and considerable time was lost Tn getting from the witness the last time -he made that kind of goods, the time he sawed them and the time he shipped them. A misunderstanding arose between counsel and it was ap- parent what time the goods were ship ped and what time they were sawed Michael E. Keeley testified he bought the goods from the accused. who was
 said to have bought them from George SoloSlxi, who skipped his bail in the city court last Tuesday
 Attorney Russell held that it was { the theory of the police and of the prosecuting attorney that only for small junk dealers there would be no such crimes as that charged commit ted. He held a contrary theory and fthat only for the small junk dealers the police would be utterly unable to find metal thieves. Whenever a burg
 lary is committed the police find the stolen goods in pawn shop, and whenever metal is stolen from fac 8tory 1t is found in junk yards. How?
 asked MT Russell Why the pawn broker and the junk dealer inform the police. How. then. can the small junk dealer be accused of being the source of metal thefts. The trouble is that
 whatever there is a value on will be stolen as long as it can be sold. Mir Russell said he believed there is as much metal stolen from the factories to-day as there was twenty-five years ago in proportion to the amount of it used.
 Attorney Durant defied MT Russell < to put his client on the stand and MT Russell accepted the challenge and put his client on. He said he bought the metal for five cents a pound and sold A 1t to the Waterbury Scrap Iron Co for. Seeyen cents a pound
 I Judge Cowell in disposing of the case rsaid the experience of the accused in Hunk dealing must have told him that Sthe goods stolen could not have been obtained honestly. They were not of sthat kind that is apt to be picked up Yin the streets or found in dumps. He accordingly fined him $7 and costs. An app0al was taken.

MERCANTILE AGENCY.

Wholesale and Retail Christmas De
 mand Will Expand Volume of Trade,
 New York, Dec 4.Special tele- grams from correspondents of the In ternational Mercantile agency throughout the United States and Canada are summarized as follows:
 The week is characterized by fur ther slackening industrially; by a wholesale and retail Christmas de- mand which promises to expand the volume of holiday trade beyond that of last year; by an increase in the fn- Sestment demand for securities; by the appreciation that money will begin to flow eastward by January +; and by the spreading action on the part of the manufacturers looking to re- duction of cost of production.
 Wages of 100000 industrial em- polyes have. been reduced 10 per cent or more. and preparations are making to effect similar reduction with re- Ispecti to 3OO,OO0 others in various lines on or about January 1. At Philadel- phia cotton and woolen mills are rum ming at about half capacity. Pater sons silk year has not met expecta- tions. Some eastern shoe factories have turned out less of late. Window glass factories complain of importa tions. Paper mills have shut down to offset over-production in some cases. But in the pottery industry the year has been favorable and the like is true with respect to coal and fertiliz CTS, while the copper, lumber and jew elry industries report full avera ge outputs A striking feature is the starting up from day to- day of estab-- lishments which had shut down from various causes, and the increasing of small orders for iron and steel Ger calls and provisions are weak.
 Woolen goods sales have been ex- tended less than expected At Phila-. delphia the volume of dry goods trade for the season is greater than last year Louisville reports a heavy gain in bank clearipgs. Tn cotton sections of the Mississippi valley, trade and collections are good At both Chica- go and San Francisco here is large ad- vance buying for the holiday season.
 Tn the dominion of Canada, colder weather and snowfall have stimulated trade in heavy goods. This has brok- en retail stocks and additional orders are going forward freely Agricultur- al implement makers are working to full capacity. Lumber trade is in a heaIthful condition. Grain receipts are increasing and the trade outlook for the remainder of the year is good.

National Liberals Guest of Honor in
 London.
 LONDON, DeN. 4.-i. F. O'ConnOi gave a dinner at the National Liberal club here in honor of William Jennings Bryan, at which a number of Irish and Liberal nrsmbers of the house of commons and several representatives of the English and American press were guests.
 There were no set speeches, but Mir. Bryan in a purely informal but elo- quent talk referred to his experiences in England, how he had profited by his visit and how he had been i'm pressed by the way in which the peo- pie here devoted themselves to the welfare of their country.
 Mir Bryan said the ambition and pride of the people of country should be not in saying "our army and our navy are the best in the world,' but in having the best government in the world and in being able to say that 'our government stands for justice and humanity and is so recognized in all parts of the world"
 To that end Mr Bryan said he would devote his life and hoped to bequeath to his children legacy greater than any accumulation of wealth

MAssTCoTTE CASE CLOSED.

Commissioners Found the Odicer Not
 Guilty of Charge Made
 \ The nearing of the charges against Supernumerary Policeman Wilbur Mas ssicotte took place last evening, and it proved to be the weakest of the cases chat have been brought against police zmen during the past year. There seemed absolutely nothing whatsoever Ato the complaint and whether this was. owing to the absence of the complain aants, Joseph Schreiber's, two principal witnesses, or some other reason, 1t Twas certainly the lamest case that has ssver been brought to the attention of he board of safety.
 S Schreiber complained that while lis tening to Hi Henry's minstrel band hear Polis theater on the afternoon of November 12 he was pushed into the gutter by the policeman named As zhe was under the care of a physician, *and. moreover, as he has lived in the sdty eighteen years, he considered this 5pretty bad usage. Last evening he HBaid that his two principal witnesses were absent, one was sick and the .Dther detained by business. However, 2he was satisfied to let the case go on. He was then sworn andsin addition to, what has above been stated, he said Ehat he was standing in doorway #next to the entrance to the opera house when the officer came along and told him to move He said he was standing pn private property, to which the officer ssafd that made no difference. and then pushed him into the gutter. Complain mt said he would make complaint bgainst the officer and that he would let Hhfm see he was not football The officer told him to cut 1t out
 S Complainant complained to Jean Jacques and he told him the officer was new man There was a crowd of about thirty present. Complainant kaid he Is under a doctors care. and he produced a certificate from Dr Graves. Me also said that he has been ordered Fouth and that his right lung has been weak six months.
 All of the above the officer admitted
 taking place, but added that he told Complainant that he had been given orders to keep the sidewalk clear and Me was going to carry out those orders. 3no matter what happened He closed with the statement that he did not act
 neanly about 1t at all, sand he did not RShink It pays to be mean.
 Jean Jacques corroborated all this.
 He said he was surprised when he saw @he sidewalk clear and asked Mir Par sons what 1t meant. Mir Parsons said 4t meant there was new officer on &inty. and Mir Jacques called him a Handy. He did not see complainant in
 he gutter. and could not say If he fell.
 He did not think the officer used un- necessary force, either verbally or physically. He considered hdm one of Rhe best policemen that ever did dnty hround the opera house. When com plainant told him about it he said he bpened a box of hot air, Gas I usually Mo under such circumstances.
 I Thomas O'Donnell, who keeps a cafe bear by said he saw the whole affair. but thought it of such little conse- SHuence that he did not pay much at fention to it. It was a trivial matter anyway. he said, or there would have been more commotion than there was. This closed the testimony and on mo- lion of Commissioner Taylor the officer was found not guilty.

 The First division, A. 0. H., held an enthusiastic meeting last night and outlined plans for the observance of St Patrick's day.

A few old bachelors protested against inviting the fair sex, but they were muffed out in short order and the fact made plain that no matter where the day is observed the ladies shall be on hand and have things all their own way. This provoked a smile from one of the bachelors. who remarked In ar, nndertone that he would wager his last dollar they would have things their own way no matter what hap pened.

More Indictments Are Returned
Believed to Be Against
Alderman.

1t Is surmised that two aldermen
have been indicted by the grand jury
in connection with the investigation
Of municipal corruption which has
been in progress for some time.
This afternoon the grand jury re-
ported to Judge Pond, and returned
three indictments. Two of them are
supposed to be against persons inpli-
Gated in municipal bribery cases, pre-
sumably aldermen.
Judge Pond caused sensation
when he announced that he had been
informed that members of the grand
jury had disclosed evidence of their
Investigations. The court stated that
this morning Alderman Mumm and
three members of the grand jury had
told him that A. J. Brainard, a mem
Der of the grand jury, had revealed to
grand jurys investigation, and the
names of the men likely to be in.
dicted in connection with the charges
of municipal corruption. RI
The court said that to relieve both
Mr.. Brainard and the grand jury from
embarrassment he would discharge the
former from the grand jury panel.
The court also stated that either this
or another grand jury would be called
on to investigate the charge against
Mr.. Brainard.
The radical action Of the court
caused a sensation. This is the first
time in the history of Hennepin county
that a grand juror has been discharged
upon such grounds. Grand jury in
formation has always leaked" but 1t
remained for Judge Pond to take such
summary action.
