The election was not an exciting one, but there is no doubt the closing of the saloons rendered it much more quiet.

There were 79 votes cast by ladies, of which Scheffer received 48 and Swisher 81. S. L. Pierce concluded to lay the ground work for a contest for the city attorneyship by getting a few votes, and 69 were recorded for him in this ward for city attorney, and9for W. P. Murray. Mr. Pierce claims that there should have been an election for city attorney, and he proposes to ask the courts to decide. The New Council. The old council will meet to-day at 3 p.

The audience who witnessed the performance of "Kenilworth" at the Opera House last even ing was greatly entertained and kept in a constant state of merriment for the whole two and a half honrs that the entertainment lasted. Aside from her noble generosity. Miss Adah Richmond will be remembered by St. Paul people as one of the handsomest and most fas cinating burlesque actresses ever visiting here. There is one great feature with Miss Bichmond and her company there is not the slightest taint of vulgarlystosdestroy theacharm of sprightlva,r witty and graceful performance. n..1B v*v"rv:T The order was sufficiently painful to gratify a Scotch Presbyterian. In the First ward tne Republicans appeared to be in doubt relative to Mr. Carpenter's can didacy for Alderman. He was nominated by the Republican committee while absent, and, though in view of there being two Democrats in the field, ho might have been elected other Republicans and Democrats combined took the liberty of withdrawing him. If he bad been at home he would not have known whether he was running or not, and in his absence no one knew. Some of the Republican com mittee vihited the poll and con tended that Carpenter was in the held, and Mr. Barden, of the committee, and Col. Allen had a lively tilt on the subject. Practically, how ever, the withdrawers won, and the contest lay between Davidson and Allen, Carpenter re ceiving bnt eight votes. The Colonel laid him self out to win, worked like a Trojan all day and Came in on the home Btretch with 41 to spare. In the Second ward first precinct, tour can didates for alderman made it tolerably lively. For the first time, too, one candidate was a colored man. He found Republics are un grateful, however, for he only received 84 votes. O'Connor had a handsome plurality, bnt a majority of two was all that was vouchsafed him. There was quite a hot contest for School Inspector, but J. G. Donnelly usually wins, and this time was no exception to his good luck. In the second precinct of the Second ward there was no Alderman to be elected, and the School mspectoi contest was dull, as it was known from the start that Dufrene would win. This was one of the two precincts where ladies voted. Though Sweeny is a handsome man, the majority of theladies voted for Dufrene, proving that the victory is not always for the good looking. In the Third ward there was no contest, and ne fnn whatever. In the first precinct of the Fourth ward there was a little life in the Alderraanio contest, and a sufficient number of Democrats voted for Sanborn, the Republican, to elect him. John B. Brisbin, Esq., presented his ballot at this prvcinct and declined to allow the judges to number it, as required by the odious and unconstitutional law. Of course his ballot was refused and he will now bring suit against the judges for depriving him of his ballot. He stated in making the tender that he did it foi the purpose of testing the law. In the third piecinct ot the Fourth ward there was no contest and "as dry as a contri bution box" is too tame a description. The Fifth ward was reallj lie center of at traction. Here the celebrate J. VV. Fisher was at work for the aldermanship, and up to noon, was thought to be ahead, but in the afternoon Rhodes' fiiends rallied and Fisher went home, buried under 115 majority. The school inspectorship more exciting than the other contest, a very determined ef fort being made to detest Albert Scheffer. His friends rallied handsomely, and he has too many of them to meet defeat. The ladies voted freely here, and at one time in the after noon the ladies almost monopolized the polls. Scheffer won both with ladies and gentlemen, and his majority boomed up to 116. 8. L. Pierce thinks there are several holeB in a skimmer, and he received a few votes for City Attorney in the Fifth ward, and propones to claim an election on the ground that there should have been a vote for City Attorney. The celebrated effort of Gabble to secure the City Justiceship, seems likely to be repeated. Below will be found a record of the vote by wards: First Ward'First Precinct. AldermanA.

West cott Wilkin, the senior judge, presided, and there was a large attendance of the local legal fraternitj, together with a sprinkling of attor neys from Minneapolis, Stillwater and other points. The call of the grand jury roll succeeded in securing the attendance of the following, the rest being excused by the court for various le gal reasons: T. S. McManus, A. M. Radchff, J. H. Allen, D. A. J. Baker, Jr., George Palmer. J. C. Bettinger, J. P. Pond, Henry S. Ogden, S. S. Bread and P. H. Kelly. Of these, Mr. P. H. Kelly received temporary leave of absence.

The gentlemen whose names are above enumerated will do well to bear in mind that the court yesteiday expressed its de termination to fine all absentees $10. The roll-call of the petit jurors, showed twenty-three were present, and Messrs. M. D. Manning, F. O. Chnstianson and H. P. Rugg absent without excuse. Thes three were im mediately fined $10 each. This accomplished, the grand and petit jurors were dismissed until 10 A. M. to-day, the hour to which the court subsequently adjourned. The call of the calendar, which consisted of about 125 causes, was then taken np, and the actions received vaiious assignments. These disposals developed forty-five trials by jury, one by a struck jury and one was referred.

The largest quantity of land will be offered at Beaver Falls, and the smallest at Luverne. As there have been many anxious inquiries for these lands, the probabilities are that they will realize the handsomest prices ever secured at similar sales.

An A* of Cruelty Which Ought to Send the Guilty Officer In Disgrace Out of the ServiceKeepinar a Man With a Smashed Foot Two and a Half Hours Waiting for a Surgeon. Yesterday an accident happened to a soldier belonging to the garrison at Fort Snelling, which, in its attendant incidents, illustrated most forcibly the red-tape circumlocution way of doing business in the army, as well as fur nished an exhibition of that lack of sympathy for the needs and misfortunes of subordinates very generally believed to be characteristic of army officers. The unfortunate soldier in this instance was John Butler, belonging to the second detaehment of the Seventh infantry, comprising the garrison at Fort Snelling. But ler, with three comrades, was coming to St. Paul by the train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, which reached this city at 2:10 P. M. At Mandota the soldiers, it appears, attempted to board the train ^lile it was in motion, in doing which Butler from some cause made'a mis-step, and was thrown partly under the car and in front of the wheels, which passed over his left foot, below the ankle. Butler also, after being rescued, complained of severe pains in his left side, showing that he had sustained more or less serious internal in juries. There being no physician at Mendota, and no meanR of gelling the injured man back to the fort, as expeditiously and comfortably as he could be brought to St. Paul, Butler was taken aboard the train and brought to St. Paul. Ar riving here, he was removed to the waiting room in the depot a messenger in the mean time being dispatched for Dr. Murphy at the injured man's urgent request. In dne time the doctor was found, and was about proceeding to lender such surgical aid as should be required by the urgency of the injuries when he was met by another mes senger, who informed him that an officer at the depot declined having any examination or dressing of the injuries here, but had given in structions for the man to be taken back to the fort for that purpose. Inquiry by a GLOBE re porter resulted in verifying this last message to Dr. Murphy, but unfortunately he could not learn tlie officer's name giving the order, or whether he was acting on his own authority, or under instructions. Parties who saw the of ficer about the depot judged him to be a lieu tenant, from his uniform. But by what authority the officer was acting matters not. His instructions were carried out, and when the through express train from the east left for Minneapolis at 3:15, Butler was carried back to Fort Snelling, where he arrived at about 4 o'clock. From the above it will be seen that Butlei met with his accident before 2 o'clock. He then was subjected to the wear ing, tearing pain of the lun from Mendota to St. Paul then placed in the waiting room of the depot, where be remained 55 minutes, and then bundled upon the cars and jounced back to the foit, a 40 minute run. After reaching the fort, he would have to be carried up the bluff and into the barracks, and the post surgeon sought out, whicn undoubt edly consumed, at least, half an hour more of time, making in all fully two hours and a half of time from the time of the accident be fore any assistance, beyond the kindly atten tions of his comrades, was given the injured man. when it might as well have been furnish ed him within thirty minutes of the time of the occurrence. When it is understood that Butler's injuries will uddoubtedly necessitate amputation of the left foot, and that every mo ment's delay added to the danger of such an operation, and reduced the sufferer's power to bear up under the trying ordeal, the heartless cruelty of the delay can be realized in some thing akin to its true light. EPISCOPAL CONVOCATION. For Mission Purposes and General Con sultation. L*st evening a convocation of clergy of the Protestant Episcopal church commenced its sessions at the Church of the Good Shep herd. The convocation was called in conform ity with the eighteenth canon of the diocese, which reads as follows: "The diocese is here by divided into three missionary districts bounded as follows: The Northern comprising Henepin county and all north of the southern line of Wright. Meeker, Chippewa and Yellow Medicine counties except the counties inclnded in the Eastern district. The Eastern compris ing Ramsey and Dakota counties, and all the counties wholly or chiefly east of the 93d meridian. The Western, comprising all coun ties west of the Eastern district and south of the Northern district, and entitled respective ly, the North, the East and the West Missionary districts. The Bishop, as having exclusive spiritual jurisdiction over all territory not composed within the limits of any parish, may annually appoint a priest for each of the above mentioned districts with the title of dean, who shall have the general care of the mission work in his district, and who may, from time to time, convene the clergy within its limits for consultation with respect to church extension." The sermon last evening was preached by the dean of the district, the Rev. Dr. Watson, of Red Wing. To-day there will be holy communion at 6:80 A. M., morning prayer at 9 A. M, the Litany at 12 M., evening services at 7 '30. Addresses will be delivered on "Objective and Snbsective Religion." Under the head of objective, the Rev. J. E. Johnson, of Hastings, will deliver a sermon on the church, and the Rev. Mr. Livermore, of St. Peter, on the "Sa- craments the Extension of the Incarnation." Under subjective religion, the Rev. M. Pow ell, of Lincoln Academy, will preach on "Re- pentance," and Dr. Corbett, of Minneapolis, on "Faith," and the business meeting, which will be private, St. Paul as a missionary field, and how to devise ways and means whereby the convocation system may be made more effective in the district, will be discussed.

His signature occupies a line of all the leading hotel registers daily, his residence being changed each time to suit his fancy. The saloon keepers yesterday, thanks to the excellent police regulations and their own common sense, strictly obeyed the law by her metically closing their establishments. No. 1 steam fire engine was yesterday tested after its late thorough overhauling, and proved to be as good as new, while the horses are ready to haul the machine at the first opportunity. Tickets for the "Above the Clouds" enter tainment at Minneapolis this evening for the benefit of sufferers by the recent mill explo sion, sold like hot cakes in this city yesterday. John Shaw was assessed $3 and costs yester day in the municipal court for druukenness. He was the only one who paid his fine yester day in that temple of justice and butchers' cleavers, There was a moon in the calendar again last night, so the city public lamps were all ex tinguished. All the heavens were as indescrib ably blaok as a Pioneer Press map of the Minne apolis burnt district. The calls by young men of the city at pri vate hotel rooms was unprecedented yesterday. Of course the fact of the bats about the city being closed had nothing to do with these calls. Nothing but pure friendship for the occupants of the rooms impelled the visits. On the 4th inst., that model gardner, Tru man Smith, had in market asparagus three and one-half feet high, and pie plant weighing one pound and two ounces per stalk These were raised entirely in the open air without having been at any time under cover or forced in any Mary Jordan lives next a lumber yard, and was annoyed by the way the laths were piled up in front of her windows, so she threw the laths down, as she wanted the free light of day to penetrate her dwelling. For this she appeared before Justice Flint, and gave bonds in $100 to await the action of the grand jury. James Ferguson was yesterday committed by Judge Flint for seven days on the charge of drunkenness. Shortly after being confined in a cell, Ferguson began to show unmistakable ev idences of suffering from delirum tremens. Dr. Mattocke was summoned, who ordered the wretched man to the hospital, whither he was at once conveyed. Judge Wilkin is presiding in the district court and is fining all absent jurors $10, with out respect of persons. A special grand jury venire was issued yesterday, and is returnable to-day at 10 A. The parties whose names are on thh list, elsewhere published, may rest assured of being fined, if they fail to appear at the hour named. The soldiers stationed at Fort Snelling were paid off yesterday, and, irrespective of their possessing passes or not, flooded the city in all directions. Many of them marched too fre quently to bars, and got drunk, resulting in their being locked up and keeping the police on the alert. The military authorities pent orders last night to police headquarters to ar rest all soldiers without passes, to await the arrival of a guard this morning, but the police had no power to act unless upon the unruly. As George Sherbrooke, of 120 Dayton avenue, was driving along Makubin street and appioach ing Western avenue late last night, his horse turned suddenly round and bolted, throwing Sherbrooke out into the road. He was picked up and carried to his house, suffering gieatly from internal injuries. Dr. Murphy was called up about 11 o'clock to attend him. The C-itent of bis injnries were not known, but he is con sidered to be pretty badly hurt. The horse was caught near Dr. Stein's and returned to his stable. John Carr, erroneously reported yesterday as "Tom Carr," and Mike Clonan, the disrepu. table roughs that created the disturbance on Monday evening at the corner of Rice and Mar tin streets, appeared yesterday in the munici pal court to answer a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Owing to his injuries, Borden, the man whom they so unmercifully attacked without provocation, was unable to be present and give his testimony. The case, therefore, was postponed until Saturday, and the defendants were bound over in $600 bail each for their appearance at that time. The targets for Knauff's Lake Como resort arrived yesterday, and are certainly gorgeous and ingenious affairs. They are of iron, are three in number, and of as many designs. One is a vivandiere, which beats a genuine snare drum upon being struck in the bull's eye. Another is a lion, and the third a tiger. The marksman fortunate enough to hit the centre of these will cause them to emit roars so savage and unearthly that every body within a mile of XiSke Gomo will swear a menagerie has broken loose, while all the milk in the neigh borhood will turn sour. Trouble with her throat will prevent Miss Clara Murdock, of this city, appearing in the reading tournament to be given at the Opera House on next Monday evening. But Mr. Gale, the manager of the popular dime concerts in Minneapolis, will on that occasion present Miss Jessie Couthoui of Chicago, Miss Helen Mar White of Winona, and Miss Mollie Dor man of Minneapolis, three talented and beauti ful young women, all of whom have had pub lic success as readers. He pioposes to combine four fifty cent entertainments in one, for a quarter of a dollar, and will test the question whether S Paul wants a series of first class entertainments for low prices. The cesspool grinder of the farthing-dip is heraby informed that "Major James H. Donald son" never was a party to any snit in any court in this city in which Henrietta Somer ville was either plaintiff or defendant. The title of calandar No. 91, or file No. 10,968, of the last general term of the district court, is "Henrietta 8omerville vs. James W. Somerville and John Donaldson. This was the case the decision of which the QUOBM reported and had nothing more to do with Major Donaldson than the Bispvtch ever had to do with brains, truth or honesty under its present cesspool management. The remains of Mr. John Mayall, brother of Mr. Samuel Mayall, were yesterday interred in Oakland cemetery.

Wanted a Man to "Sit With Sal." [Virginia City (Nev.) Chronicle.] Yesterday afternoon a green-looking conple evidently newly married, called at the photo graph gallery of Beak & Waterhonse, and wanted their pictures taken. Just as Mr. Beals had got his plate ready the man called him aside and said be wanted to ask a favor. "I was told in Carson yon took the best pic tures in the State. Now, you see, Sal and I got hitched down there last Monday now, her folks go a good deal on style, and they live in the States. They never saw me, and if I send my mug baok East they'll be dead agin me sure. I'm a darned sight better than I look, and when people come to know me they vote me a brick. Now, what I want is to get some good-lookin' man to sit with Sal for a picture. "Will yon stand in? She's willin'. Them big whiskers of your's '11 catch 'em sure and create harmony. You look like a solid capitalist, and they take me for a p-tty-larceny thief." Mr. Beals en joyed the idea immensely, and sat with "Sal" for the picture, which will, doubtless, carry joy into the household of the Eastern rela tives in a week or so. In Paris, on April 15, there were 9,492 fnr. nished houses, containing 130,115 lodgings, and there were 18,480 vacant rooms. Of these the price of 4,170 was at least $100 a month, while that of 8,390 was not more than $1.80 a month. AUCTION SALES.
