Davis, O'Brien and Wilson for plaintiff S. L. Pierce for defendant. COUBT ITEMS. Just after adjournment of the court yes terday, Jacob Jansen came, and was infomed his case had gone against him for $518.80. He expressed profound astonishment didn't know his case was coming up, and in an ag grieved manner said he couldn't be dancing daily attendance on the court. This latter difficulty can leadily be avoided by the pur chase of the DAILY GLOBE, which contains an accurate report of the court proceedings for each day, together with the call of cases. THE GRAND JUBT. The jury's labors of deliberation were re sumed, in secret, yesterday moining at 10 o'clock. The same desire to hurry up mat ters was expressed, and the opinion was ventured that- all the jail cases could be disposed of by a continuous day's work, omitting the recess at noon. Though this part of the programme was not adopted, nevertheless tho jurors did a steady day's work, and almost accom plished the task allotted when the jury convened in the morning. Many of the cases met with a prompt in dictment, the consideration given being brief, and the indictment found without a dissenting voice. A few received negative votes, and in several cases no bill was tound. The work was done rapidly in the morn ing, but full speed -was developed in the afternoon. Throughout the day work was vigorously pushed along, and resulted in a clearing up of all the cases except three. Among these excepted cases is that of Maud Murdock, the cyprian, who as saulted a Jew named Rosenweig, who had foully insulted her. The case of James Sullivan, committed for bigamy about Aug. 22, also went over un til to-day. David Barrett will have to answer before a jury tor the highway robbery of Mr. Schultz on Fifth Btreet between Sibley and Wa conta. Wm. Harris, the colored man who stole a revolver from Frank Kelly, had a true bill found against him for the crime of larceny. Over John Abraham ason's case, that of an assault upon Officer G'bbens, a little longer delay Recurred than in the two former cases. Carl Anderson, who burglarized Heimbaoh's saloon in the Sixth ward had his case dealt with very speedily, and a unanimous vote for an indictment will bring him up before a jury of bis fellow-citizens. Joseph Soraeis' case hung fire for some time, and the jury were very de liberate and comparatively long in coming to a conclusion whether to return a bill or not against him for the alleged assault. The first case that afforded any degree of amusement was that of Mrs. Maria Hicks, charged with "malicious mischief" in throwing a lot of slops into a private room belonging to H. It. Smith. The testimony went to show that the bowl of slops, which did the damage and constituted "the mali cious mischief," had been preceded by several chips and other missiles tossed through the same window. It appeared that the sfTower of fluid as well as solids was provoked by Mr. Smith's conduct, or some two inmates of his place, in no aggressive sense on Mr. Smith's part, but more on the part of the tossers, in a spirit of pure and simple mischief, not mal icious. Maria's case was de cided to be one with which police court can as effectually deal, as the higher one. John Osterberg got into Charles Olson's bed room Tuesday night. He went before the Municipal court Wednesday, and yesterday his little affair was brought to the attention of the grand jury, and im mediately a trne bill was found against him for larceny. John probably will realize that jnstiee has picked him "m a whirlwind to rush him along. The Merchants' hotel cutting scrape in which Joseph W. Connallin was the assail ant, received a short notice, as the day's labors were nearing an end, and resulted favorably to Connallin. The circumstances connected with the cutting, the condition of Connallin at the time, and the slight injury inflicted, were taken into consideration, and the affair was not deemed to be of sufficient importance to carry it into court. The indictments found will be returned in court, to-day, at 11 o'clock. The jury have mooted the question of taking up the social evil after a disposal of the few remaining jail cases. This investi gation, if taken up, will be approached cau tiously. Already the opinion is hazarded that considerable difficulty will be experi enced in finding convincing testimon againpt any one of the mesdames. But even with this to contend against, the opinion is generally prevalent among the jury, that public interest and morals demand an inves tigation into this matter. After a tedious day's work, the jury ad journed at 5 o'clock p. M. A Dull Day. Hard as flint. There's a soft side to a board, and evenV stove may be cushioned by the moss of aoe. Mary Johnson, drunk, staggered against a soft corner of his honor's heart yester day. A woman, she got off with a repri mand. Simon Jacobs, living on Seventh street, slopped over in violation of the city nuisance Jfifi ordinance. A soft vein having been struck in the courts' substance, Jacobs 'was allowed until to-day to sop up the slops) and disinfect. DODGING A CONTRACT. rfow a Contractor Who Was not the Low est Bidder Got a Contract bnt Does not Come to TimeSewall Criticised Again. The Special committee, composed of Ald ermen Smyth and Bhodes of the Fifth ward, to whom was referred the matter of grading Bates avenne, and the establishment of grades on certain streets in the Fifth ward, met at the city hall yesterday at 3 o'clock P. M. Besides the committee, there were present Clerk Gorman, of the board of pnblic works City Attorney Murray, Messrs. Kiefer, Got zian and Dean. The first business presented was the Bates avenue matter. The affair standB about thus: Mr. Dean was awarded the contract for grading at 20 cents per yard, and surfac ing at 5 cents per yard. The next lowest bid being 17 cents for grading and 50 cents for surface work. Mr. Dean, the contractor, wishes to escape from the requirements of the contract, and the property holders wish to hold him to it, or at least to have the street put a passable condition. The committee invited a general expres sion of opinion by all the parties to the mat ter. An informal talk of some length fol lowed. Mr. Bhodes contended that Mr. Dean was not the lowest bidder by $100, excepting the surfacing of the streets. Mr. Murray said that at first the property holders didn't want the surfacing done, but finally concluded to have it done. Mr. Dean bid on the supposition that the surfacing was not to be done. Mr. Smyth said, for all that Mr. Dean had bid to do tho surface work, and if it was the intention not to have it done, bids should not have been asked. Any contract under such expressed or implied agreement or understanding was altogether wrong. Mr. MurrayThe surfacing was left to be done at the discretion of the city engineer. Mr. RhodesTbe contract doesn't say so. The property owners chorusThat's so. Mr. Smyth thought the case required only a payment to Dean, a ratio to the bid made by Cleary, the lowest bidder on the whole work, for work done, provided the property holders would not hold Mr. Dean to the full letter of his contract. Dean's estimate for the work is $1,441, and according to Cleary's bid the same woik would have coBt $1,292. Col. Kiefer found objection to the gener al grading it was neither straight, nor were the bidewalks such as met the approval of the property holders, nor corresponded with the original grade. Mr. Dean's and Sewall's (city engineer) attention had been invited to this, but no notice had been taken of the protest. Col. Kiefer was asked if the property holders were determined to have the street surfaced, and answered, yes, they were. He cohtinued that since the grade, the street was worse than before, the topp ng being alto gether faulty, and the sidewalks were objec 'ionable. Air. Smyth stated that tho owners had a right to have the work done at the lowest poshible rate, and in that Cleary's was a lower bid, yet Dean lal undertaken the contract, he should be made to do it at the rate bid for by Cleary. Messrs. Kiefer, Freeman and Bhodes took occasion to criticize Engineer Sewall. Mr. Freeman said he didn't believe that Engineer Sewall had ever looked at the street. "Yes, he has," said Mr. Murray. Col. Keifer"Well, he ought to have had the work done satisfactorily." Mr. RhodesThe trouble with Mr. Sewall is that he is rather too fond of his indi viduality. He will not do anything that he does not want to do. Time after time mat ters acted upon by the council are subse quently passed upon by Mr. Sewall and his ipse dixit must be final, so he thinks. Mr. Murray"Remember he is ft profes sional man." Mr. Gotzian said he wopft Gonswit to a substitution of Cleary's terms for Dean's, provided the latter would remove the loose sand he had put on the stieet. Mr. Smyth said the contract was a hor rible one, and ought never to have been let. At the suggestion of Col. Kiefer, the mat ter was further postponed until inquiry conid be made of property holders as to what adjustment could be made with the con tractor. The committee then took into considera tion certain proposed grades, and alterations the original grade in the fifth ward. The committee approved tbe grade on Olive street from Seventh to Grove street Pine street from Seventh to Grove Locust street from Seventh to Tenth street Neill street from Seventh to Ninth Williams street from Seventh to Grove Seventh street from Kittson to Broadway Eighth street from Neill to Broadway Ninth street from Neill to Broadway Tenth street from Grove to Broadway Fifth street (grade already made) from Jackson to Broadway Eleventh street from Olive to Broadway, and Twelfth street from Pine to Broadway. The committee will present a resolution to the council at the next regular meeting for the adoption of these grades. Adjourned. SUITS AGAINST THE CITY. Four Cases to be Tried at the Present Term of ourt. During the present term of the district court four cases will be tried, in each of which the city of St. Paul is defendant. The first is a suit of Mid ael La Borge for 1,000 damages. His complaint sets forth that on the night of Nov. 2d, 1877, he was driving along University avenne, when he, his buggy and horse were precipitated into an excavation, exposed on the street. He avers that no safety signal was exposed nor other means of safeguard were used, that the said excavation was made by the city in the course of grad ing that thoroughfare. From such negligence he clai ms the above sum for injuries received. ]h answer the city neg atives the whole array of allegations. The second case is that of Joseph Gelina vs. the city. In all respects it is the same as the above, as he was in the buggy at the time the accident occurred. James G. Donnelly brings suits aginst the city to recover certain tools, derricks, etc., valued at $680. They were in use by Pat rick Nash, contractor, on the Rice street sewer. The city in answer sets forth that the contractor, Nash, failed to fulfil his con tract, and that by authority of the law, the work was assumed by the city that the tools, derricks, etc., were found in use on the sewer, and were taken to fill the measure of the contractor's work. John D. O'Brien and P. B. Galusha, re ceivers of Flynn & Mullen, bring a claim for $300 due on their contract for building the Broadway sewer. They claim this amount unpaid on the contract of $49,750, and state that the sewer was finished in all respects on the 15th day of December, 1875 since when the money has been withheld. On the other hand the city holds that the work has never been completed, and that it will cost $300 to finish it, and that under the stipulations of the contract, the above amount is justly and legally withheld. The Varieties Theatre, which the present management has endeavored to keep free from all objectionable features, is spoken of by the police as being conducted in an orderly manner no disorders or drunks, or disturbances of any kind, have been reported during the new management. A new company will appeal- this evening, with some of the old favorites, in an entirely new programme. mmm Mtf^ ^Vj.Su. CITY GLOBULES.

The police pay-roll for September has been handed to the city comptroller, for the month of September. It foots up to $2,491. The city clerk was engaged yesterday in drawing orders for the September salaries of the police and fire departments and all city employes. Wheat Shylock Washburn ha3 been in Da luth all the week scattering tbe proceeds of his wheat-grade steals in saloons and groggeries, and in distributing railroad passes. The recent rains have resulted in a slight rise in the Mississippi, the mark yesterday showing twelve inches, arise of an inch and a half in the last twenty-four hours. "Mississippi Red," who was consigned to jail last week, is a hard party to deal with. He was sentenced to the rock pile, but defeatn' the aims o justice by declining: to "work. A. bread and water diet since UIB mcaiceration, doesn't bring him to terms. Under the tax law passed last winter, the county treasurer has collected, for the present quarter, $2,000 delinquent taxes. This amount stands against the yearly levy to les&en it, as all expenses attending the collection of delin quent taxes are paid by an additional 21 cents penalty for each description. While the fifth ward special committee was in session yesterday, their grade deliberations were cut into by the deep snores of a sleeper. On looking around a.recumbent figure was seen under the gun-rack. He was aroused, and by main strength taken below to the look-up, to slumber off without disturbance, his potations. Yesterday forenoon, a little girl, aged 7 years, daughter of Nathan Smith. was ran over in front of her father's residence corner of Sixth and Jacksod streets, by a vegetable wag on. The careless iver wan a lad about 15 years old. The little girl happily escaped in urv, except a few bruises.

Knoet strolled into Farwell Brothers' store on Third street, and strolled out again. He was weightier by ten packages of emory. paper when he went out than when he made his entrance. Farwell had no equivalent to show tor the 8 worth of prop erty. Yesterday morning the-theft was report ed at police headquarters, aMP officer Gibbons was sent out to hnd lost property and man. The former he recovered at Hill's second-hand store, and soon thereafter got in with the man. He is locked np at the station. Frances Olson net Hutchins iR locked up at police headquarters for larceny. She is one of the help at the Merchants hotel, and only a week ago she was cauerht pilfering small sums of money from her associates. On expressing great contrition and the promise not to be guilty again, she was let off. Yesterday the kleptomaniac fit came over her again, and she stole a skirt or some other article of female attire, and was caught with the garment on. Forgiveness having failed before, Bhe was re ported, and arrested by the police as a fit sub ject for the House of the Good Shepherd. Col. Kiefer, county clerk, received a letter yesterday from Vienna, and it may be termed a family affair. Each member had dotted down a paragraph or two. And the remarkable fea ture was, that each piece of chirography was perfect in symmetry, even and exact as a copperplate. The letter contained inquiries from a gentleman and his family in regard to locating in America. One of the writers is the Austrian government's official lithographer, and besides, he has had the contract with the Porte to furnish all war maps and to do all official printing for the Turkish government for years. Col. Kieter is expected to say, Minnesota is the place. The carriage horse of Albert Scheffer got up a little excitement yesterday afternoon. The animal was being driven along Second street in the rear of the Ingersoll block, when he took i right by the whiflietree dropping upon his heels No i ikin hi heel mte ere the horse gave the whiflietree thergrand bounce. Governed by the laws of gravitation, the whit fletree returned to its starting point, and again the horse resented the familiarity* This lit tle game was kept up until the driver had be come demorah?ed and tumbled, or was thrown from the buggy, and the horse had detatched himself from it in a somewhat collapsed con dition, after which he made a run down Third street to in front of the bank of Dawson & Co., where he was stopped uninjured. The driver in his tumble suffered a few slight bruises, and the buggy will require the expenditure ot $15 or $20 to put it in as good Bhape as previ ous to the circus. -^frr THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, "J'Z i tU THE BOOM ROOMING. The Plan for Building a Boom at St. Paul Assuming ShapeA Meeting to be Held Next Tuesday. Some two months since on motion of Mr, J. W. McCiung, the chamber of commerce appointed a committee of six to inquire into tae feasibility of forming a boom company in this city. The committee consisted of the following gentlemen: J. W. McCiung, Chairman, J. S. Prince, C. S. Uline, Geo. H. Warren, Daniel McOaine and J. Smith, Jr. Since that time the committee have not been idle on the contrary, they have made diligent inquiry among lumbermen, maim facturers and dealers, log men and others whose opinion is worth having upon the subject, and, as announced in these columns a few days since, the result arrived at was that lumber could as easily be manufactured here as at Minneapolis or any other point. Lumber manufacturers were of opinion that the cost of manufacture by steam power would no more expense than water power, and all that was necessary was to find a point in the river where a boom would be practicable at a small cost. Since that time the committee have examined several loca tions and find that an excellent position ex ists at the ferry below Fort Snelling. The cost of putting in a boom at this point would be $7,000. Another point is at Pickerel lake where the cost would not exceed #4,000. The committee pronounce this as good a site as any in the State for the pur pose. And again the committee report that a smaller boom sufficient for all local pur poseg could be put in at little expense south of the islands opposite the city and contigu ous to West St. Paul flats. A gentleman connected with the boom companv of Eau Claire stated to the committee that he would come at any time and assist them in locating their boom and superin tend its construction. He stated that Pond's patent Sheer boom would not cost anything like the prices given above. The committee have also spoken with log owners and have found them all favorable to the movement so that they feel now that everything is prepared to go ahead with the movement, and accordingly a meeting will be i called for Tuesday next at the chamber of commerce for the purpose of organizing a company. The meeting will be called to order at 10 o'clock. All persons interested either in logs or the manufacture of lumber, or are favorable to the scheme, are invited to attend the meeting. We are in receipt of a very handsome little pamphlet issued by th well known and de servedly popular "Boston One Price Clothing House." The pamphlet gives concise and plain instructions for self-measurement, and a full descriptive catalogue of every kind of male attire, Irom a four year old child's knicker bocker suit to the most elaborate out-fit for a gentleman, with prices ranging from the mar velouslv low figure of $ 3.50 for an entire suit to $50. With this price liBt one may suit them selves to a nicety, and Bait their pockets too, and with the self-measurement directions they may be certain of a perfect fit. Every family in the Northwest should send for one of these handy little pamphlets, sent post-free by the Boston One Price Clothing House, 43 East Third Street, St. Paul. 2g3*? TBE! INSANE ASYLUM. $* *^TJZ%, $ A Day'* Delay Awaiting the Appearance of the Governor. The Senate committee of investigation met yesterday at lO o'clock at the Metro politan hotel. The chairman had intimated to Mr. Posey that it was the desire of the committee to consult Governor Pillsbury, and that gentleman had telegraphed the Governor to that effect. The Governor, however, did not visit the city all day and the committee continued in secret session poring over those complicated, bewil dering and inexplicably intricate accounts of Mr. Kerr's. The decision that the com mittee have come to in connection with these accounts is that which has been inti mated in the GLOBS. Two expertsthe present secretary of the committee and another whom the committee will ask the Governor to appointwill be instrnctd to prepare balance sheets from the Slate auditor's vouchers and also from Mr. Kerr's books-, and these will be compared in the Same way as Mr.J3mith has already done for two years. Upon the result of this the Committee will b*se their report upon the financial management of the institution. The committee have already commenced their report, beginning at the initiatory visit to the asylum and their reception there by Xr Bartlett- It deals with the cruelty charges and the complaints of insufficiency and poorness of the food supply strictly in accord with the sworn evidence given on the Bubjectv 0. T. Brown's letter, or rather the letter concocted by the united brain power of the ring and their council, which appeared tbe asylum organ and Bill King's Minneapolis paper, the committee laid on one side with out comment, the twinkle in the eye of the chairman and the derisive smile upon his face being as strong a comment as language could frame for the letter con tained the most tortuous twisting of the trnth that a m?a who hnei& nothing about the eireumstanees only from hearsay eould perpetrate. The letter,, of course, will influence nothmg of the report, nor Can it explain away some ugly facts and wide-staring, unyielding figures which will not lie and which cannot be covered by all the sophistry of Strait, the charity of Coer or the ingeneous expla nations of Kerr. If those curious vouchers and still more curious books cannot be more closely reconciled to each other by the ex perts the committee's report is likely to make rich reading. The committee will have an interview with the Governor this morning. THE COURTS. Probate Court. I Before Judge O1 Gorman. I In the matter of the estate of John F.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.Until to-day nothing was really known of the extent of damage perpe trated by yesterday's storms. Since the estb^ lishment of the city aucb. a pair of blizzards have never viBited this section. The morning storm dropped more water and executed per haps more pluvial vengeance than the later endeavor, bat the afternoon effort got it* work in in good shape and did more business than the ordinary bucolic visitori Early in the morning the sky was pictureque. The clouds were banked in high mountains in the southwest, and hung low enough to touch with an umbrella. Smoke from the chimneys swept downward through the streets, and the air -was fearfully oppressive. Towards tu north ana in the ndrthwest the sky was a bril liant green, and fitful gusts flew in from every quarter, held caucuses and sent messengers in every direction to whip in delegates for the grand convention. At about 11 o'clock everything was in readi- nesB, and tbe elements combined for tbe grand est meteorological demonstiation of the season. In fifteen minutes the convention adjourned, but it had done as much damage during that time as the Radical party and the yellow fever combined. Tons upon tons of water fell.

"Spear, tbe Matter," Number ninty-eight East Third street, the fa mous remodeller and refinisher of soft, silk and stiff hats, is the busiest man in town. Under his manipulation old hats become new, soiled, dingy "stove pipes" are restored to their origi nal shape and lustre. Soft and stiff hats are cleansed and put into fashionable style, retrim ed, turned out as good as new, in the most ex peditious mai nner, and at a small cost. His patrons increase daily and the universal satis faction expressed by them, is proof that it is real economy to patronize "Spear, the hatter." For A. Booth's celebrated Oval Brand Oysters, wholesale and retail, go to the Fulton Market, No. 16 East Third street. MARRIED. NININGERMACKUBINOn Thursday, the 26th inst at Christ church, by the Rev. Wm.

A $300 pane of glass in the store of Selz was blown far enough to meet Bnbby Hale, and on the west side the fronts of houses, and the north sides of the streets, and the backs of houses on, the south sides, looked pretty much as the Radical party felt wbeh the news ,-ame from Maine. Altogether the damage to the city amounts to between $300,000 and 400,000, not counting in the beer consumed, (for which no recompense was offered) by the citizens, who sought their general resorts to escape personal danger. MAIL JDMPED. FOBT FETTERMAN, Wy., Sept. 26.The mail from McKinney was jumped this afternoon about twenty-two miles north of here by twenty-two masked men. They succeeded in surpnsmg the two soldiers who were acting as escort, getting the drop on them before they had an opportunity to draw their weapons. The horses and armB of the cavalrymen were taketl, and the mail thoroughly ransacked. Messrs. Tillotson and Snyder, post traders here and at McKinney, were passengers on the mail wagon, but having been robbed of upwards of $300 a few days before, while on their way from old McKinney to a new post on Clear Fork, the highwaymen secured very little booty from them. This part of Wyoming is infested with horse thieves, robbers and scoundrels at the present date, HJEAVX BOBBEBY. PEOTIDKNCE, ft. X., Sept 26.
