JOYFUL DEMOCEATS. TZZ/S SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES SER- ENADED. Having Good Cause for a Jollification, Last Night Was Made a Merry Meetinc-The Voters and Their Faroiltea Have a Good 2/TIme TogetherSerenades, Lemonades and Speeches. The Democratic party resolved itself into a jollification party, last night. Headed by the Great Western band, the friends of the "Begular Democratic Ticket" paid each suc cessful candidate a visit, and honored him with a serenade. The assembly was made at the city hall about 9 o'clock, and under the guidance of Hons. W. H. Murray and Urisbin, and others, the procession was formed and marched to Sheriff King's resi dence. MIEMFr KING SEItENiDED. Arriving at the jail, the band discoursed sweet music. Shoitly after the sweet sounds had gone out in to silence, Sheriff King ap peared, and was greeted with hearty cheers. Hon. Brisbm gave him an elegant salutation. referred to the late canvass, and congratulated Sheriff King upon his well merited success. He, King, had fought against the most malignant opposition that had ever disgraced a local campaign in Ram soy county. His indomitable spirit and ex ertion had overcome the maliciousness of his assailants, and his fellow citizens of the Democialic party had rallied handsomely to his rescue. The speaker augured from the unanimity of the party at the la3t election that a solid front of mighty phalanxes would be presented to the enemy in the national light of 1880. Alluding to this coming con test, he named his choice for the Presidency, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, who like his illustrious edecessor i name, Chevalier Bayard, wa without fear and without leproach. I further reference to the Democrat ic party and its mission, Le said, it was the party of he people, and among other piivileges con tended for it uphe ld the sacredness of the ballot, and the free will of manner to vote untrammeled by fear, favor or affection. Just here the speaker took occasion to men tion the mooted question of a contest over he late election. A contest, by the dofoated candidates, because the Democrats had voted a "Regular Democratic ticket." felt pretty sure that any man voting a ticket so superscribed, had the pxesumpti on with him having voted ex actly right. (Laughter and cheers.) characterized any such attempt as le gally absurd, and called to the attention of his hearers that such an attempt was con templated, but would meet with signal fail ure. The Republic an election law had had one hole knocked in it, and enough could be mado in it to give it the appearance of one of the tattered and riven flags of the late war in the capitol. [Cheers.] The speaker then closed with a hearty congratulation at the success of the whole ticket. Sheriff King stated he wasn't giv en to speaking. felt deeply grateful for the honor conferred, and for the cordial sup port given him last Tuesday. thought the fight made against him had been uncalled for any act of his and called upon all citizens, irrespective of party, to merely judge him by his acts as a citizen, for good or bad, dur ing his residence of ten years in the com munity. pledged himself to administer his office faithfully, economically, efficiently and for all of Ramsey county. '-Now, gen tlemen, please come in and look through the jail." At this the crowd went, and took in but no room of the jail. One in which Sheriff King and his good wife had laid out a spread. "Justice was done the 'casion." After appe tites had been somewhat appeased, Mr. Wm. Barrett made a few happy remark s. Capt. Reaney followed in a few well chosen words, which met general approval. "Come out boys." And, after numerous calls, the boys came out and the line of march was taken up to Auditor Lee Davis' residence, on Pleasant avenue, near Third street. AUDITOB DAVIS VISITED. A lively tune brought Mr. Davis out. He returned his thanks, and expressed his high satifaction, in the name of self and family, at the honor conferred. He felt favored, and expressed himself well and to the point, closing with the remark, "I have a small wateimelon in the house, which has been ripe for a few days-(laughter)and I in vite you in to cut it." Mr. MurrayHold on boys, I will po in and sample it, and let you know if it is good. The BoysNo you don't. The hospitality of the house was bounte ously extended by Mr. Davis, assisted by his wife. Some one, in a jocular way, said to Mrs. Davis, "This Democratic party is a terrible mob. is it not?" Mrs. Davis, with considerable spiiitNo, sir I just think the Demociatic party is splendid. Meanwhile the guests weie enjoying them selves hugely on both substantial and fluids. JUDtE O'OOKMAN VISITED. From Mr. Davis' the jollification party found their way to Judge O'Gorman's home, on Iglehart street. Here Mr. Murray in troduced the judge to his fellow-citizens, saying they had come to tender him a serenade, and together with it their sincere congratulations at his election. "I have said enough," said Mr. Murray, "you say your say, O'Gorman." Judge o'Gorman said his say by return ing thanks for the confidence placed in him by electing him to office, and for the favor and compliment extended him this even ing. He closed with an invitation for all hands to come in. All hands [accepted, and went in. There a big spread awaited an attack, which was not long coming, and was vigorously sustained. Jokes were cracked, and a genial good time had by all who wers on hand. HON. JOSEPH OPPENHEIM CALLED ON. Somewhat thinned out in numbers, the crowd at 11:30 o'clock left the judge's hospitable mansion and took the route to Hon. Joseph Oppenheim's. Here they were greeted with a further evidence of courteous hospitality, and treated to the best the land affords in solid and fluid. Happy speeches were made and a general good time was voted the order of the daythe long sinewy minute hand of time was over the border of 12 o'clock. THE WIND-UP. Thence the band and a few faithful follow ers made the Hon. James Smith Jr., a call. Here again the "good time" met with a gen erous reception. The cocks were crowing something more than midnight when the Democratic party voted a "straight ticket" to go straight home. As they went straight home the supplementalgvote was recorded, "We all had a jolly good time, our candidates are jolly good fellows, and we'll elect them again." The Sorrows of a Horse Trader. A horse trader named L. Wirth was loitering around the municipal court yester day forenoon with a grievance on his mind. A GLOBE man got him to unbosom himself. His story runs thusly: Last July, 19th, he sold two horses for $450 to Webb, of the Metropolitan stables. To secure himself, he took a chattel mortgage on four horses. Not long ago he returned to this city with a lot of hcrses from Milwaukee. He made it his business to ask for his money from Webb. He couldn't pay then Wirth wanted the mortgaged, horses. He was tola that i5^LMn 1-5WHM- 7** two of them were dead, and the other two were in Canada. Wirth says he looked up the matter, found one "dead horse alive," and two others on a farm belonging to Webb, in the up-country. He made in quiries about how and for what he could arrest Webb, and then concluded he'd take out a warrant. A FATAL RIDE. Which Col. Crooks' gon and Two Oth ers Lost Their Lives. The GLOBE related the sad accident by which Col. Crooks lost a promising son at the lime of the occurrence. Yesterday the news reached the city, that the body had been recovered, and in all probability reach the home of bereaved parent to-morrow, the news of young Crooks' death reached here, no details of the lamentable accident accompanied the bare notification of his drowning. Since then, and more particularly, yesterday, Major C. J. Allen, U. S. Corps Engineers, received a full ac count of how the mishap and serious consequences were brought about. Young Crooks and six others wore on their return to St. Paul from Grand Rapids. On the homeward trail they reached Lake Pokegama about noon of Sun day, the 3d inst. At the point where they struck the lake, a family of brothprs, half breeds, named Sewell, had a farm, and also had established a ferry across the lakehere one-half mile wide The party determined to bo ferried across, rather than make a de tour of several miles around the lake. The Sewell brothers brought out a large birch bark canoe to ferry the party over. As all could not be accommodated at once, part re mained on shore while the others got in to make the crossing. Young Crooks, Bliss, Cunningham, and Curtis, with two ferrymen, constituted the first load. As the boat got well out on the water she was found to be unseaworthy, and fast filling with water. Near the middle of the lake the passengers realized the danger and sprung from the boat she turned keel upwards. Curtis and the two Sewalls caught hold of the boat and were saved. Young Crooks, being a good swimmer, struck for the shore. He swam a distance of three or four hundred yards, fol lowed by his dog, when he was seen to sink, the dog with him. It is supposed he became numbed as the water was intensely cold. Cunningham, so soon as he jumped from the boat, sank, and was seen no more. The cries of the Sewalls and Curtis brought the remainder of the engineer paity to the banks, and also boats to tneir relief from some lumber camps near at hand. Four days ago the body of young Crooks was re covered Cunningham's has not been found, nor has Bliss', who perished at the same time. If the corpse ariives here on Wednes day arrangements have been made to have the interment take place on Thursday. would the When WHY IS XT TUUS* The City't, Lamps Dismantled by the Bis appointed Globe Ga Light CompanyA Legal Question Involved. The Northwestern Globe Gas Light com pany, of Minneapolis, enjoyed the privileges and accumulated the profits of lighti ng the city of St Paul for one year. A the expira tion of their contract they renewed their offer, and became a competitor against others foy the money in it. They failed to secure he contract, both because they had failed to give satisfaction, and because they were not he lowest bidder. The successful bidder, Prof. Saroni, was ready to adjust his burner, etc., and give the city a glow, when it was discovered that the Globe Gas company had dismantl ed all the lamps both of burners and reservoirs for the gasoline. The que ry naturally arose, were they entitled do this? Under the reading their contract, the city authorities hold to he contrary. A the time they took charge the city was lighted with coal oil, eighty lamps being in use I was stipulated that these lamps, if removed, should be returned to the city at the expiration f the Globe gas company's contract, and it was further con tracted that these lamps, posts and fixtures should be furnished the city at $11 per post, lamps, etc., complete. The company during the enjoyment of its contract has planted eighty-four $11 posts, etc The city besides has paid for the apparatus put in the other lamps. The coal oil lamps have not been returned to the city at the expira tion of the Globe Gas Co.'s contract the company has dismantl ed the city's $11 posts, eighty-fo ur in number, and has removed all appurtenances to the other lighting lamps. Al these proceedin gs are alleged to be contrary to the spirit and letter of the law, and the intention is expressed that the city will learn why this is thus. And the inquiry, it is stated, will be made when the company presen ts a $500 bill for services, at the next regular meeting of the city council. IN MEJUORIAM, Action of the Board of Education Upon the Death of Secretary Manson. A special meeting of the board of educa tion was called last evening, for the*fftirpose of taking some action regarding the death of A. G. Manson, late secretary of the board. There were present Inspectors Benz, Cullen, Donnelly, Dufresne, Hsgan, McCardy Withey, and the president, Dr. Murphy. Mr. McCardy acted as secretary. Insriector Benz moved that the board, in a body, attend the funeral of the late secretary, A. G. Man son, Esq., on Wednesday next. The motion was carried unanimously. On motion of Inspector Benz, it was re solved to close the public schools on Wednes day next, as a mark of respect to the late secretary. Inspector Donnelly moved that the mayor, aldermen and city officers be asked to attend the funeral. The motion was carried. Inspector Donnelly moved that a com mittee of three, with the superintendent, be appointed by the chair to frame fitting reso lutions of condolence and publish them in the official paper, to drape the offices of the board in mourning for thirty days, and ar range for the board to attend the funeral. ggDr. Murphy appointed Inspectors Don nelly, Benz and Hagan. Mr. Benz said that the amount of busi ness to be accomplished rendered it necessa ry to have some one act as secretary to the board until such time as a secretary should be elected. He would propose that Mr. Mc Cardy be appointed to act pro tern. Mr. Scheffer seconded the motion, and it was carried. The president informed the board that the funeral would take place from the residence of deceased at 2 o'clock on Wednesday. From the house the corpse would betaken to the Dayton avenue Presbyterian church. Deceased was a Mason, but the widow and friends desired a quiet funeral, and declined the offer of Masonic rites. "What Mother Has Lost Her Boy Last Saturday afternoon Mr. John A. Bazille, residing at No. 278 Wabashaw street, was made a costly present. It was a baby, and didn't come to cheer his household, nor in the usualway. At the time the youngtter made his advent (it was a bouncing boy) Mr. Bazille was at work in the back yard his wife was temporarily absent from home. He heard a carriage drive up to his door, but re ceiving no notice from the door bell, sup posed it had not, after all, stopped at his residence. He wus further confirmed in this belief by seeing it speedily drive away. Shortly afterwards he heard a child cry he went after the sound, and found it coming out of the well inflated lungs of a week-old infant deposited in his front room. The youngster was cosily stored away in a basket, and beside him was a bundle of clothing. Only this and nothing more. Not a word of pedigree. And it's a wise child who knows its own fattier. &hi%J THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE,*fTUESDAY FORT WELLING BRIDGE. Bills for the Month of October Allowed The Work Progressing at Snail's Face. At the meeting of the bridge commission ers yesterday morning there were present Messrs. Lindeke, Knapheider, Cochran and the chairman, Mayor Dawson. Engineer Sewall was also present. A resolution was passed authorizing the secretary, Mr. Cochran, to employ help to fix up his minutes. The engineer'3 little bill for the month of October was presented and allowed, as fol lows: Mr. Gano, $150 Corke, rodman, $60: Grace, rodman, $40 Johnson, rodman, $40 Gano, expenses, $36.30 Grace, inspector, $150 Sewall, $100 ferry and stamps, $1.36 total, $577.66. The following bills were also allowed: Pioneer Press Co., $26.25 H. M. Smyth, printing, $10 horse hire for T. Cochran, $2. Mr. Dawson remarked that the expenses were creeping up more than he had thought they would. Mr. Cochran said he would furnish a state ment at the noxt meeting of the amount al ready expended. Mr. Dawson thought that the commission should give notice to property owners of the action of the board in condemning the land necessary for the approaches to the bridge. As there was no immediate hurry, the matter was laid over till the return of the county attorney fiom his important trip to New Al bany. Mr. Sewall stated to the board that the pump was still employed on the hole for the foundation of pier No. 1, at an expense of $20 per day. This, he said, was through the neglect of the contractors, who ought to have commenced laying stone last week. Mr. Knapheider said the contractor was waiting to know if he was to put in concrete or masonry. Mr. Dawson thought the engineer should peremptorily notify the contractor that he must commence the work on pier No. 1 or the pump would be removed. This sug gestion was formed into a resolution in structing the engineer to notify Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Sewell wanted to know if it would not be as well to notify Mr. Mclntire. The chairman explained that the board had to do only with Mr. O'Brien, and it was ultimately decided that the notice be sent open through Mr. Mclntire to Mr. O'Brien. In reply to Mr. Dawson, the engineer said the contractors had brought down more granite, and have had a small number of men re-cutting it. The board then adjourned. LOTE'S LABOR, LOST. A Republican Child that Will Stillborn. And they are going to do it. Going to try to defeat the expressed wishes of the people, "by a large majority," in the last election. So anxious are some of the de feated candidates for office, even against the vote of the qualified voters of Ramsey coun ty, they contemplate contesting the election. A conspiracy to that effect has been jointly entered into by Acker and Passavant. Messrs. H. J. Horn and W. H. Sanborn are employed tofixup the legal aspect of the assault upon the American citizens' citadel, the ballot box. Under a statutory provision of this State, it set forth that when a body has no law suit of his own, he can come in as avery adjunct in somebody else's business. Under this clause, J. Ham Davidson has joined the coterie to oust, if they can, but they can't, the legally elected officers of the people. Yesterday they were up at the capitol library consulting authorities, wherewith they could incontinentally "set down" on the Democratic head "Regular Demociatic Ticket" used at the last election. From the tomes overhauled they got little consolation. The 46 Califor nia was against them, and Indiana authori ties made their theories perfect sieves, and Illinois books were silent for a precedent. The proposed contest is based on the assumption that the use of the words "Regular Democrat Tick et" on the ballots a violation of the follow ing clause of the election law: Sec. 6. N ballot shall be used or voted at any election containing any cut or vice on its face, or any cut or device or any written or printed matter on the back, or in any other way made to distinguish one ballot from another. In addition to the above phase of mooted contest, ex-Alderman Fisher, the defeated Barden's henchman, has been for days en gaged at the city hall going over the election returns. He is diligently digging away at names and figures, and does an all day*s work, more than demanded by the eight hour law. How much does ho get? What are the whole gang going to get? It is love's labor lost. Civil *s. Military Authority. Early yesterday morning Officer Cook tackled a part of the United States army. After a rushing retreat the army was cap tured and safely put in quarters at the sta tion. About 6:30 o'clock the officer discov ered Corporal Charles Waters, Company H, Seventh infantry, making a Gatling gun of himself in the rapidity with which he was discharging stones against the St. Louis sa loon on Jackson street. The officer appear ing, the soldier took to his heels, and sought safety in the Wild Hunters' tavern. The officer followed fast on his footsteps the sol dier was sore pressed. He thought ot the loss of his chevrons, the court-martial for being absent without leave, etc. He saw a hole in the roof, any part in a storm, no he slipped through. The officer squeezed through, and captured his man sitting on the comb of the roof. Later in the day the soldier was ar raigned in the municipal court, and wasauditor fined $10. It was too long after pay day for him to have any money, so he was sent over to the jail to do civil service on the rock pile for fourteen days. PERSONAL. O. Whitcomb is registered at the Claren don.
