VOL. IV. IMPROVEMENT STILL CONTINUES. EVERYTHING FAVORABLE TO PASSING DANGER LINE. Removal of President To a More Uomf a ble Bed. INCIDENTS OF TWO ANX IOUS NIGHTS. Yesterday's Bulletins. 9 A. M. Executive Mansion, 9 a. m.— The Presi dent has passed a most comfortable night, and continues steadily to improve. He is cheerful and asks for additional food. Pulse 91, tem perature 90, respiration 23. There will be no further bulletin issued until 1 o'clock. Signed, D. W, Bliss, J. If. Barnes, ' J. J. Woodward, Robert reyburn. 10:45 a. M. Executive Mansion, 10:45 a. m.—Attor ney General MacVeigh says the President's condition is very favorable. Indeed he does not consider that the President is out of dan ger, but says he appears to be passing out of it as steadily and rapidly as could be expected. 1 V. M. Executive Mansion, 1 p. m.— The condi tion of the President continues quite as favor able as this forenoon. Pulse 100, temperature 100, respiration 23. Unless some unfavorable change should occur no further bulletins will be issued till 8:30 r. m. 3 p. m. Executive Mansion, 3 p. m. — The condi tion of the President remains unchanged since the date of the last official bulletin. The President has eaten chicken broth to-day and expressed a strong desire for toist and oat meal with milk. The latter was given him as probably the least objectionable kind of solid food which be seemed to crave. Reports that jaundice has set in or that there has been any unfavorable symptoms is false. TO THE CONSULTING PHYSICIANS. Washington, July 7. — The following dis patch was sent by the surgeons in charge to the consulting surgeons this afternoon: Executive Mansion, 1 p. m.— During the past twenty-four hours the President has con tinued to improve slowly, as was anticipated. A slight rise of temperature and alight in crease in the frequency of the pulse occurred during the afternoon and evening. At 8:30 P. m. the pulse was 104, temperature 100, and respiration 52, but in accordance with the di urnal movement both the pulse and temperature were again di minished this morning, and showed some improvement over yesterday at the same hour. At 9a. m. the pulse was 94, temperature 94 and respiration 23. We antici pated, of course, a similar movement for some days to come, and 60 to-day find, at 1 P. m., the pulse was 100, temperature 100 and respira tion 23. Last evening, at 0:30 r. m., a quarter grain of morphia sulphate was admin istered hypodermerically, and the Presi dent slept very well during the night. In addit'on to chicken broth and albumm, he had yestercay scraped beef tenderloin, which, however, lie did not relish very much. This morning he is taking oat meal cruel and milk at intervals of two hours with relish. The yellowish tint of the skin 60 common after wounds of the liver devel oped to a slight degree during the day yes terday, but is not more marked this morning. We do not attach a great deal of importance to this symptom, except so far as to confirm the opinion already formed of the nature of the wound. Altogether we feel that the patient is doing as well as could possibly have been expected up to the present time, and our hopes for his ultimate recovery are strengthened by the events of the last two days. (Signed) D. W. Bliss, J. K. Barnes, J. J. Woodward, Rout. Reyburn. 8:S0 P. m. . Executive Mansion, Washington, July 7. — The favorable condition of the President continues; pulse 100, temperature 100 2-10, respiration 23. (Signed) D. W. Buss, J. E. Barnes, J. J. Woodward, Robt. Retburn. No more bulletins will be issued to night unles3 an unfavorable change occurs. - ,v; This Morning* Bulletin. Washington, Jnly 8, 2 a. m.— The condi tion of the President hes remained substan tially unchanged since midnight. The White House Yesterday. STATE NEW 9 FOR THE "GLOBE." Washngton, July 7.— An official to-day looked up the facts of the case of the attempt ed assassination of President Andrew Jackson. It took place January 80, 1535. He was pass ing through the rotunda of Hit capitol, at tending the fnneral ot a member of Congress, accompanied by a gentleman on either side of him. He was walking along and did not no tice the approach of Richard Lawrenson, an Englishman, a house painler. who drew a pis tol and fired. It being a flint lock the powder did not catch. He then drew a second pistol, but that, too, did not go off. Lawrenson was arrested, but never brought to trial. He was scut to an insane asylum, and as far as known never came from there. It was found that he MM insane and labored under the impression that Jackson's policy had brought about the hard times whi«h then prevailed. Should the President recover the case will only be an as sault with intent to kill, the extreme penalty for which is eight years. GOOD SPIRITS. Washington, July 7. — Dr. Bliss is in the very best of spirits to-day. He looks bright er, having managed to get some rest since the President has taken a turn for the better. He said this morning: "Everything is as nice as could be expected. The President passed a very good night and is better this morning. He continues to improve slowly but surely. His appearance continues good and he is very cheerful." Continuing, he said that the dan ger of peritonetts was rapidly passing away, and, although it still might occur, its occur rence had become improbable. The only acci dents now to be apprehended, he said, and the . only ones LIKELY TO TERMINATE SATALLY, were secondary hemorrhage and pyaemia, or blood poisoning. Secondary hemorrhage might occur at any time up to the seventh day, but on account of the course which the ball'tookand the place where it is supposed to be, the danger of secondary hemorrhage is not a serious one. Pyiomla, or blood poison ing was the accident most to be feared, and of that there was not yet, he said, the slightest symptom. An abeess also might form at any point along the course of the ball or at the extremity of the wound, but with this, he said, they could deal suceefully- He expressed great reliance upon the rresi dent's vigorous constitution, strong vitality and courage. He was, the doctor said, the very best patieut he had Been in the course of his" surgical practice. With regard to the supposed COURSE OF THE BALL and its present locality, Dr. Bliss saiJ while they had not thought It prudent to probe deep in search of it, either immediately alter the infliction of the injury or since that time, he did on Saturday introduce a Nelleton probe into the wound vevy gently and traced the course of the ball about three and one-half inches. So far as he could Judje it had entered the back above the right hip and taken a nearly horizontal course forward through the body, striking and slight y frac turing a rib, and being then deflected a little to the right, where It penetrated the liver. Whether the ball remained in that orgau, or passed through it and lodged in the interior wall of the abdomen, he was unable to say, but he hoped that the latter would prove to be the case. He said he regarded the wound in v surgical sense as being very fortunate. A slight deilection of the ball to the right had carried it away from the region where it would have been likely to prove fatal in a few hours and in a region where it left a chance of recovery. Spc,iking of the pain in the President's feet, Dr. Bli^ said that it was probably due to laceration of one of the sympathetic ganglia. The motor and sensory nerves of the leg had not been in jured. In'conclusion, Dr. Bliss expressed the that while the President was still in serious danger, every day was carrying him past the critical points one after another, and le had strong hopes he would recover. THE PRESIDENT'S BED. The bed the President was kid upon when first carried to the White House was wide, but short and low. It was so short that his feet tested against the foot-board, and he conr )lained of being in a cramped position. An other trouble was that the low bed placed him too low to get the breeze. The bed was a foot 3i- two lower than the window. The bed he is low in is seven feet long, so that he has plenty of room for his feet, and it is high enough to come above the window ails. It has a patent mattress, ai anged sj that thorough ventilation msJes underneath. The onlj inconvenience he President has suffered from the change proceeded from the narrowness of the bed. In he first one he could stretch his arras out. However the present bed is only for temporary tiae. A regular invalid's bed has been tele rraphed for, and as soon as it comes he will be Ilaeed on it. GUITEAD'3 riSTCTL. It turns out that the pistol used by Guiteau was a cheap, common weapon. It is a self cocker, and as it was so easy to shoot, many wonder he did not fire one or more shots. The pistol was bought on the Sth of June for $10. OPEN STORK-HOUSES. The store-houses of the whole -country are open to the President. Large packages are received every day. Everybody who has some very old wine, whisky or brandy is tending it to the White House for the use of the Prtri dent Some port wine 50 years old arrive 1 this morning. One gentleman, in sending his contribution of wines, said he was a tem perance man. The wine had been placed m he family cellar 30 years ago by Ins father, he said, and had never been touched He hoped the President would accept it and find it beneficial. The President will soon have a large stock of wines and liquors. MODE OF TREATMENT. Large quantities of patent medicines are re ceived with their healing qualities fully set forth in accompanying circulars. There is usually a card urging that the medicine be given a trial. The doctors have received any number of suggestions by telegraph as to treatment. Since the President was first shot there has now been roformal advice to come in, and they do come in. Mr. Bliss is overwhelmed with recommendations to use this or that remedy, and manage the President this way or that. Even Mrs. Garfleld receives such ad visory letters. Mr. Morton, of the clerical force at the White House, is preparing a sep arate scrap-book of the newspaper accounts of the shooting and daugerous illness. Different accounts are cut up and pasted in a Vfurk Twain semp-book, editorial rt marks and comments scissored and put in alongside the telegraphic accounts. Accounts of public meetings held here arc also preserved. The literature of this character will make a big volume, which it will take the President some titu« to perui-e after he is able to read. He has expressed a desire to have the reports of the calamity and press comments preserved. The telegrams ol sympathy which have been received will a.l be preserved. New York, July 7.— The Commercial Ad vertiser 1 a Washington specials say: Up to this time no visitors to the sick chamber have been allowed, outside the doctors and uurses, with the exception of Mrs. GarfWd. She, poor lady, would never leave the bedside of lier dear husband if she had her own way, but lier own health needs careful watching, and her visits arc arbitrarily restricted by the doctors. When she appears by t»e President's couch, he at once lights up as if by instinct, aud the desire to talk is strong upon him, but is speedily checked by the doc tors, who find in Mr?. Garfleld a most trust worthy and constant assistant in the discipline of the sick chamber. I had an opportunity to speak a few words with one of the doctors yesterday, and asked him if the visit of Mrs. Garfield did not tend to excite and agitate the President, "by no means, was his reply. They eeem to have a most sooth ing influence on him. He always wants to talk, but she chides him gently by one sweet and slight pressure of the hands, and then he smiles, just nods his head, and is apparently contented, but he keeps his eyes fixed upon her with a loving tenderness and scarcely re moves them while she is with him. I never witnessed more noble conduct than I have seen in Mrs. Garfield during this sore trial. There seems to be a singularly subtle bond of sym pathetic union between ibis husband and wife. It is a life bound up in a life. The one rallies and improves apparently for the sake and un der the majestic influence of the other. If Mrs. Garfield was absent I think there would be far less chances than there is of the Presi dent's recovery. Should a fatal result ensue after all, which I - believe now not to be the case, I shonld tremble for Mrs. Garfield. Yet she has such remarkable qualities that I have no doubt under the heav iest affliction that could fall upon her, her brave heart would enable her to bear up if she thought it her duty to subdue her grief and live. She is indeed a noble woman. BLAINE AND ARTHUR. Secretary Blame is kept busy, but does not flinch from the post of duty an instant. He has won many friends by his gentle aud patri otic course, rebuking the spirit of faction and Indignantly denying rumors. He is a daily Visitor at the Vice President's rooms, and speaks in the highes" terms of Gen. Arthur's excellent qualities. The close and friendly communication between these two high offi cials cannot fail to be productive of good. A3 SOON A3 PAPA GETS WELL. Jlmmie Garfield was present in the Secre tary's room List night and seemed more cheerful than ever. "I peeked into the sick room to-day," he said, "when they were dress ing father's wound, but could not stand it and wut none of us see papa to talk to him, except mamma. It Is getting awful hot in Washington now," he continued, "and we are going away just as soon as papa gets well. We havejhad nothing but sickness since we came." The Cooling Ai>parattts. Executive Mansion, Washington, July 7.— The apparatus devised by attending physicians yesterday to cool the atmosphere of the President's room has not worked as well to-day as anticipated. The water asceads slowly and imperfectly in sheets of flannel, and the result is only a very slight lowering of the temperature. Experiments are being made with various re frigerating and ventilating apparatus, includ a large fan worked by an electric motor. "God Reigns." There has been a good deal of mystification in the public mind over a quotation in one of the Washingtoa dispatches from the Presi dent's bedside to Mrs. Garfield: "God reigns Daily I and the government at Washington still [ lives." The phrase recalls one of the moat ; dramatic epochs In the nation's life. It was . the dreadful 15th day of April, 1865. A vast, I tumultuous and passionate crowd was gath , ered near the Astor house, hoping that the r fatal news was not true. Butler at . tempted to pacify the mob feeling that could be seen rising. Two unfortu nate wretches had run counter to the senti ment of the mass by insinuating that the deed wss well done. They were instantly trampled to the semblance of humanity. Then the crowd, gloating in tbe first draught of blood, shouted: "To the World office!" The rush began and the result would have been fright ful. But »t the moment a flag was seen in the hands of a tall figure on one of the balconies. The surging crowd was checked. They grouped about the spot and then a pecnliar voice, loud, clear, and measured like a par son'a, broke out in this astonishiug apostro phe: Fellow citizens. Clouds and darkness are round about him! His pavilion is dark watcrf and thick clouds of the skies! Justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne! Mercy and truth shall go before his face! Fel low citizens! God reigns and the government at Washington still lives! The effect was infinitely beyond the mere words. The half preacher-like tone of the speaker, his large, earnest eyes and enraptured visage produced an indescribable effect upon the Bcethicg, passionate crowd. All thought of carnage vanished. Everybody said, Who is he? It was James A. Gaiield, and it was fit, indeed, that his confidential friend should use the line in telegraphlrg the President's calamity to his wife. Voice of the Poeplr. SAN FRANCISCO TAX PATERS* UNION. San Francisco, July 7. — The tax payers' convention have adopted resolutions scouting the insanity of the president's assassin as a myth, and attributing his action to political disturbances, and endorsing the a«ts of the President and extending sympathy to him and his family. The Greenback central club also to-night denounce tha assassin. WHAT GLADSTONE DID SAT. London, July 7. — A dispatch from New York says Gladstone is criticized for suggest ing in commons that the shootingof President Garfleld was the result of a political eouspir acy. Gladstone made no such suggestion pub" licly, nor, so far as known here, privately. What he did say in commons on Monday, in response to Northcote's inquiry as to whether her majesty's government could communicate anything touching the terrible and atrocious crime, was simply that he could not be sur prised iliat questions should be aeked in re gard to the outrage, the character of which was. such as to attract the attention of the whole civilized world, and which so greatly af fects the. feelings and welfare of a nation not only friendly to England, but growing more so yearly. THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY. Boston, July 7.— A meeting was held in Faneuil hall to-day, to give expression to the gpneral thankfulness that the life of the Presi dent has been spared, and to beseech Almighty God that his recovery may be speedy and com plete. Edward T. Glad presided. The ser vices, which consisted of reading the Ecrip tures, pras-ers and audresses, were participated In by Rev. Dr. Clark, William H. Bolden, Rev. A. J. Gordon, D. D., Rev. M. Taylor and D. VV. Waldron. NEW TORK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. New York, July 7. — In response to a call for a special meeting of the chamber of com merce, to take some action in regard to the attempted assassination of the President, a large number of members assembled to-day. C. W. Field offered a resolution, which was iinauimonsly adopted, setting forth their un speakable grief and indignation at the attempt ed assassination, and their being deeply moved by the Christian heroism with which he has met this appalling calamity; that it has alarmed the whole country, and compired with which political contentions and personal interests have suuk into insignificance, and tendering to the President their heartfelt congratulations that by the aid of Divine Providence he has so far survived the perils that seemed deadly, and that he retains his faculties in full vigor and composure of spirit; offering to his heroic wife, aged mother and children their deepest sympathy, and congratulating the country and themselves on the fact that by his own display of the highest qualities of manhood has done so much to sustain the hopes of the people as to his final recovery, and hope that continuance of his life will be the means of biinging together the best men of all par ties and sections. After remarks by members, Mr. Field presented a subscription list which was headed liy his own name for $5,000, and below were the names of Ditxel, Morgan & Co. aud Jay Gould, for a like amount. Messrs. C. P. Huntington, S. B. Cl>ittenden and D. W. James at once stepped forward, and each subscribed a similar amount The following put their names down for $1,000 each: Jas. B. Colgate, J. P. Travor, Pv.rey R. Pyne, Jessup, Patton & Co., C. Linier, Field, Lindley A Co., J. Seligman, W. H. Fogg and John G. Terry. Extra Session of Congress. New York, July I.— The Post's Washing ton special says: It is said on good authority that a proclamation convening Congress in special session was prepared yesterday, or earlier, and signed by the President, to be is sued la the event of his illness taking an un favorable and necessarily fatal turn. The object of this action, which It is said has been taken with the approval of the cabinet and Vice President Arthur, is to provide against any possible contingency. The sesnon would be called to elect a president of the Senate pro tern., and speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, and no miscellaneous business would be considered. The Striif/glt for Lift 1 Tuesday fiiuht. [ Washington Special (July s) Chicago Tribune. The oppressive quiet of & hot summer's night hung over Washington. The evening had been the most depressing since the awful shot whs fired. The news was unfavorable, and the waiting people, wearied with their self imposed vigil, realized, without being told, that the President was passing through a ter rible crisis, and was fighting against fearful odds. They pressed up against the gates, and seemed to try to look within the walls where' lay the wounded object of all their thoughts. They were right, ihere was a crisis. For the first time after his recovery from the shock of the bullet the President seemed to lose hope himself. Part of the time he was delirious. He slept a little, but it was a sleep largely produced by doses of morphine. He suffered pains. He moaned and tossed in his bed. IMF. CHEERFUL LOOK 1>B»A!ITEI> "Ii oin the eye. There were no jests upon liis lips. The wives of the Cabinet officers were constant in their attendance. Everybody was already worn out when the result of the early evening consultation was announced. As is already known, it was unfavorable. Tympanites had again appeared, and apparent ly in a more threatening form than before. Grave men shook their heads, and Mrs. Blame came from the President's room weeping. THEN THE BRAVE MRS. GARFIELD lost somewhat of the splendid courage which has sustained her throughout her trying or deal. She almost fainted, and as the hot breath of the night and the gloom of the twi light entered the apartments it seemed as though they foreboded the approach of a tragic ending of the crime of a fanatic. He sat' in his cell and boasted of his deed. He proclaimed the virtue of his act, and seemed to feel the proud consciousness of one who had nobly achieved for himself a place in the public heart away at the other end of the city. The chief men of the country were grieving with the nation. I sat in thi great east room with the Attorney-gen eral. The last time I had Tjeen in it was at Mr. Hayes' last diplomatic reception, when thousands of elegantly-dressed persons thronged it, and music, and lights, and flow ers made it, for that evening at least, the hand somest room in the country. Last night there was no lights. The great spaces were gloomy with what seemed to be THE GLOOM OF COMING DEATH. Through the open windows on the south side the summer evening stole lazily, and the shadows of the draperies seemed to add to the darkness. There was no music now— only the sound, of whispered conversation as the people went up or down the stairs. Secretary Blame came down alone. He looked worn out physically, and his face was the picture of unutterable grief. He spoke to no one, appar ently saw no one. His eyes were upon the floor as he passed out upon the porch, fan ning himself mechanically as he walked. THAT SICK MAN'S FATE MEANT A GREAT DEAL, to his first secretary, but there has been SAINT PAUL, FEIDAY MOKNING, JULY 8, 1881. talk of that, and, for all the world knows there has been no thought of it. The specta cle of the Strong Man In the White House, struck down in an instant without warning, for no reason, and only to gratify the whim of a madman, absorbed everything else. "The highest public duty is to save the life of the President," seems to be the thought of every man connected with the government. Washington, July ?.— The treasury de partment to-day purchased 825,000 ounces of line silver for delivery at the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints. Monday Night at the White House. [Correspondence Philadelphia Times.] The cabinet in that outer room, waiting for any announcement. They hoped, but they feared. It was as still as daath. The breeze that came up from the Potomac rustled the window draperies, but that was all the noise there was. At intervals of a few minutes some one appears from the sick chamber. Sometimes a simple shake of the head would indicate no change— at least, ho change for tho better. Sometimes the question would be asked: "How is he now, doctor?" aad the re ply would be: "No change," or "About the same." This meant that his pulse was running still at 120 or thereabouts. Vice President Arthur enme a little before 10. The first person to meet him as he entered the room where the cabinet was was the secre tary of state. The Vice President took the proffered hand in both of his and said: "How is the President?" "No better, I fear," replied the secretary, "and I am very glad you have come." The Vice President conversed for a few moments. He then requested to see Mrs. Gar field, and when he took her hand the Vice President was weeping. He clasped both of her hands in his, and, almost overcome with emotion, expressed in beautiful sentiments his sympathy for her. AN AFFECTING MEETING. There were no dry eyes in the room at th's meeting. "It was," sad the postmaster gen eral, "one of the most touchiug and affecting sights." The interview was brief, Mrs. Gar fi«ld inquiring after the health of the Vice President and expressing her own firm convic tion that in the providence of God her husband would be spired. After that Gen. Ar thur conversed with the Cabinet for a while and then withdrew. Only the briefest conversation passed respecting any official act. Secretary Blame said that it was the opinion of the Cabinet tbat in case of tke death of the President, at whatever hour, Gen. Arthur ought to be ready to take the oath. Gen. Arthur replied: "I shall be ready to fulfill the obligations imposed upon me by the constitution if they should unfor tunately arise, and await the advice and noti fication of the cabinet." Civil Service Reform The New York board of trade has adopted the following resolution: Resolved, This occurrence, in absence of others, should be sufficient to commend to the American people the adoption of a true civil service system, which will relieve, the President and others in authority from personal solicitation of seek ers after office, and at the same time insure greater efficiency to the public service than can otherwise be reasonably expected or ob tained. A FAITHFUL STEWARD. Gen. H. W. Johnson's Splendid Ej-ectitive Ability Evidenced by His Rapid Settle ment of the Franklin Steel Estate. [Minneapolis Evening Journal.] On tbe death of the late Franklin Steele, September 10, 1880, Gen. R. W. Johnson, of St. Paul, was appointed special administrator, and entered upon his duty as genfptl admmistra] tor November 1 , 1880. The inventory showed personal and real property to the amount ef nearly a million dollars. Gejr. Johnson paid all the claims against the estate, paid taxesi superintended the collection of rents, ordered and superintended repairs, sold the grain, and other perishable property of the estate— collected, disbursed and distributed over $100,000 and wound up the entire estate within eight months, and to oblige the heirs, who were all here, contented to do all this before the time required by law for him to make his report. To accomplish this Gen. Johnson was almost constantly occu pied: in the interest of the estate, to the great neglect of his own business. On his final set tlement not an account nor a single act of bis was objected to, except to the charge he made for his services ($15,000), to which all the heirs entered objection, and the probate court, acting under the discretion authorized by law, reduced his allowance to the pitiful, paltry sum of $4,500— a sum entirely out of proportion to the services performed and the responsibilities incurred. It seems to us that unless gentlemen who are required to give bonds and assume such large responsibilities receive a reasonable compensation for their services, it will be impossible in the future to find men of character and standing willing to take upon themselves these grave responsibili ties. General Johnson gave bonds in the sura of $200,000, his bondsmen represenring a uuited capital of more than $2,000,000. Running at Monmouth Park. Long Branch, July 7.— Monmouth park races.

The Story of the Misfortune of Myers, of . Winnepejr. - ; ': . .' f Among the passengers who arrived in this city by the 10:20 train yesterday morning over the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road, were four horny-handed, grizzly-visaged and hard-working looking men. j Strange to say, these apparently innocent individuals were • in chnrge of a couple of policemen from Minne apolis, who were bringing the men here to answer to the " charge of relieving a man by the name of Myers of the sum of $140. v Myers' story was that he was a brick maker at Winnipeg, He bought a j ticket for St. Paul, and his seat in the car was near these four . men. ' Daring the tedious Journey of Wednesday night he fell asleep, and while thus unconscious some one relieved him of a pocket book containing $140 in United States nation il bank notes, which he carried in an inside breast pocket of his vest. On discovering his loas he jumped to the conclusion at once that the four who occupied seats near him were the parties who had touched him. ■ . V• * : When the ' train arrived at Minneapolis he bad made known his loss and also his suspic ions to the wide-awake police officials of , that smart city. Without hesitation the " fly cops appealed to boarded the train and accompanied the party to this city. Arriving here the four men were placed in charge of j the J police I and taken to headquarters. Here they gave their .names as follows! McUellan, Murphy, Riley and Murphy, and they stated that they had been . working ;on the Canadian Pa cific road for the past '■■; two years, and a few days ago they were paid off and they started for this city. Their personal ■ appear ance gave unmistakable truth of their asser tions. - Upon being searched the - sum of $719.90 was found upon their persons, divided up as follows: McClellan, $390.00; ( Murphy, $221.00; '■ Riley, - $142, and the other Murphy $87. The joke of the whole matter was, how ever, that Myers stated positively.., that 1 his $140 was all in United States money, while every dollar found on the four men was Cana da money. This fact, taken Jin connection with the straightforward ! ; story of ' the men and their general appearance, settled the mat ter, and the men were promptly released, and the Minneapolis men returned home by the first train. v : " • •.— ,-■•'" . : Final Destiny of All Attorneys. W. W. Erwin, of this city, recently visited Breckenridge to defend Conductor Galvin from the charge of recklessness in running his train. A local paper in the vicinity— the Wahpeton Gazette- gives this good one: In the course of W. W. Erwin's argument in his defense of Galvin, he told the following circumstances with good effect: He said that "once upon a time he was at a railroad station waiting the arrival of a train, and while thus waiting, the train dispatcher ordered an engineer to go with his engine and tender to a station some forty-five miles away, and to go the distance in one hour. It was near night, the clouds were dark and threatening; the engineer suggested danger, but an arbitrary "go r> was the order. Erwin solicited a ride on the engine, which solicitation was reluctantly gi anted. They started; the wind roared ominously, the storm was upon them in all its fury, the rain fell in torrents and around them was Egyptian dark ness. The engine screeched as if it was in fear. Erwin, with mouth and eyes open and hair standing erect on his head, tremblingly asked the engineer if there was any danger, and was told by this man that there were nineteen bridges to cross, any or all of which might be washed out. "Think," said Erwin, "of my leeiings, standing there breathless, expecting every moment the devil would have me." flow well Erwin knows the final destiny of all attorneys. But he has an eye to business and is a good criminal law yer. ■ THE GOLDEN GATES. Another Grand Feast of Music and Good Cheer. Messrs.

The American Idea Gaining Ground : Among the Delegates of the European Conference. *. ■ : '\' y ' 1 . - • • London, July 7.— The Times, in : its finan cial article, says: It' is reported ; that the variation from the proposal to coin; silver freely was : originally made ;by the United States to the effect that they would coin free ly up to the limit of their own annual produc tion, as they are now practically permitted to do by the Bland silver bill, which Has been looked on with more favor by France and oth er countries of the Latin convention than pre viously, and that yon. this 1 understand ing, :us regards ....

The Times adds the present suspense is becoming most injurious to ex change business with the East. :. ./-■ .. . 1, -■ A Paris . correspondent of the Tiir^s says: At the monetary conference yesterday, the Italian delegate stated that Italy. 1 was will ing to enter into a league ~. with the Latin \ Union | ' and a United states for a limited _ issue , of- • silver ...coin for five years, on condition Germany suspends sales of silver for that period, substituting silver for small gold coins and small notes, and making silver an unlimited legal tender at rates of 15/^ to 1 of gold, and on condition that England makes silver a legal tender to a higher amount. - The annual quota of mint age of each state to be ; proportionate to her population, with the option of exceeding that niimimum on certain conditions. [ A Dutch ' delegate, . construing the ■ offer of •": England to ■ ; maintain | free ~ mintage of silver in India, as an admission that even ■ a partial bi-metallic league could make the price of silver steady strongly appealed to England not to incur the responsibility of a perilous failure by holding aloof from the league, and exhorted her to crown her advance of free trade by perfecting instruments of exchange. BOAT CLUB ENTERTAINMENT, A Delightful Evening on the Island. For several weeks past the social circles of St. Paul, and more especially those who take a lively interest in such matters, has been agita ted over the Fete Champetre to be given by the members of the Minnesota Boat club. Three years ago the lady friends of the club gave a fete, at the club house on th« island, and the memory of that delightful oc casion will end only with the lives of those who were present. Since then there have been many less pretentious but equally as delightful gatherings beneath the shadow of the bridge, all of which are remembered with pleasure. It was reserved, however, until last evening for the crowning fete of all. For weeks past preparations have been in progress for the joyous event, and many a young heart has beat in happy anticipation of the occasion. The spring flood, almost amounting to a deluge so far 88 the island was concerned, damaged the grounds to such an extent that the club was subjected to quite large expense by way of repairs. The generous people of St . Paul.who are always ready and willing to assist in any enterprise which adds either to the good name of th« city or the encouragement of merit, conceived the idea of aiding the members of the club by contributing toward the expenses of a grand fete champetre by subscribing for a number of tickets. The idea was no sooner conceived than the preparations were com menced. The matter was placed in the hands of Messrs. J. N. Granger, G. K. Monfort, J. N. Speel, C. H. Ranney, Stewart Rice, C. B. Getfort and F. J. Gilson as a committee of ar rangements. In this they have been ably seconded by the lady members of the club, and all these preparations culminated in one of the most delightful social occasions ever witnessed in St. Paul. A Globe reporter visited the island about 8 o'clock last evening, before the crowd began to arrive, and a good opportun ity was given to see just what had been done. All that portion of the island west of the club house had Veen transferred into a bower of beauty. A covered dancing room or pavilion, 60 by 32 feet, occupied the center, and this was gaily decorated with flags, Chines*; lanterns, evergreens and flowers. Immediately ad joining the club house and forming a part of the pavilion was a raised platform used by the orchestra and the flower stands. Along the north side was situated the supper room, 70 by 20 feet, filled with small tables just large enough to accommodate a cozy party of two or four. All this space was cov ered with canvas, and, in addition to the Chi nese lanterns, was lighted with four large headlights, which gave a splendor of noonday to the scene . The whole space was lighted up a little before 9 o'clock, and from any point of view was presented a fairy scene of rare beau ty. Net only the bridge, but all along the bluffs, were thousands of spectators who gazed with delight upon the beautiful and enchant ing spectacle. So much by way of prelude. The cay and happy revellers began to arrive as early as 8 o'clock, and by 9 o'clock there was a perfect procession of "fair ladies «and brave men" streaming down the long flights of stairs and through the Club house to the grounds below. At 10 o'clock nearly all had arrived, and the fete was at its height. It would be simply imjwssible to give a pen picture of the scene tben that would do justice to this spectacle of surpassing beauty. The mellow light of the moon skimming across the placid water, the bright and varied lights from the lanterns, the soft music, and, best of all, the large collection of the beauty and fashion of the city whirling in the giddy mazes of the dance, all combine to make the occasion one never to be forgotten. In bringing about so pleasant a termination of the joyous festival too much praise cannot be awarded to tm ladies who took an active part in the preparations. The Globe would like te mention them all, but has only room for the following: The president was Mrs. George L. Becker, assisted by Mrs. George A. Hamilton, Mrs. Fred. Bird, Mrs. Dr. Flagg, Mrs. Freeman James, Mrs. Edwin Becker, and by Misses McLaren, Enox, Blakely, Schur meier and Perkins. The flower stand was presided over by Mrs. Geo. S. Acker and Mrs. Capt. Banker, and the flowers were the generous gifts of Mrs. Girart Hewitt, Mrs. Capt. Blakely and Mrs. H. L. Moss. The lemonade, whjch was excellent in qual ity and abundant in quantity and free to all, was famished by Mr. Hugh C. Donnelly, as his contribution to the club. The music by the Great Western baud was thair very best, and that is all that need be said. Refreshments consisted of ices, cake, etc., all of the very best. Dancing commenced at 9 o'clock and lasted until midnight One hundred mod forty Mormon* r reached . New fork yesterday en route to Bait Lake etty. ; : /-^v^ CITY GLOBULXg. Tbe pupils of St. Mary's girl's school too* a ride yesterday in two of Kent's omnibuses. A plat of Watson's addition to the city of Bt. Paul was filed with the register of deeds yesterday. The work of laying and repairing sidewalks Is progressing finely, and danger of broken limbs is greatly averted. The board of control held Its regular weekly meeting yesterday forenoon, and issued six full and seven half orders to the poor. The drive well cases were before Judge Nel son yesterday afternoon upon two different motions, which were argued and tiken under advisement. The Great Union band went out to White Bear lake last evening, and so did a large num ber of the residents of this city. They Ml had a grand time. Judge Simon filed a decision jester Jay in the case of Johanna Nash vs. Emma Ragaet, stat ing that the plaintiff is the owner of the real estate described in the complaint. The case against Thoa. Mitchell, charged by Dr. Mintzer with keeping a house of ill-fame on Robert street, was continued until 10 A. M., when it will either be heard or dismissed. The manager of the Hotel de Jessrang opened a new register yesterday. The first guest was one who was recorded as being a very distinguished case of drunk. He was given the best room in the hotel. The case against George Dempsey and John Peators, which was commenced befo*e Com missioner Cardozo on Tuesday last, was again postponed yesterday until this morning on ac count of the absence of witnesses. The case of Frederick Moberg vs. B.P.Green man, A. W. Dunn and J. D. Dunn, action on account, was argued before Judge Brill yester day afternoon and taken under advisement, af ter which the court adjourned until the 15ih inst. Singular to relate, though the thermometer yesterday ranged from 85 to 94 in the shade, there were no absolute prostrations Irom heat. Everybody expected that there would be many sunstrokes, but up to 0 o'clock none had been reported. James Kennedy, the barber, has rentud the basement of the Davidson block, corner of Fourth and Jackson streets, and is engaged in fitting It up as a first-class barber shop and bath-room, unrivalled in elegance in any part of the United States. C. E. Brown was arrested yesterday, charged with the larceny of a quantity ef beer in bot tles, and cigars in boxes, from the saloon of Mr. Blanik, in Rogers block, that was practi cally burned out the other morukg. Jessraog locked him in the cooler. "The seasons come— the seasons go," but the feud between tbe rival houses of Bnell and Eichhorn would seem as though it would go on forever. When the case was called yester day morning a further continuance was had until this morning, when Judge Brill will dispose of it. Edmund R. Hollinshead, of this city, has associated with him as an assistant in his office, Mr. Fred. Nelson, a >oung man well known in this city. Mr. Nelson is a native of Sweden, and comes here highly recommended. Mr. Nelson will assist Mr. Hollinshead in his increasing law business. John Porter is a man old euough to keep so ber. His hair is sprinkled with gray, but he has a stalwart form, and in his day must have been a fine looking man. He found his way to the tower, with the aid of an . officer, and this morning Judge Brill sent him to jail for five days in default of 15 fine. Capt. Clark, of the police force, mourns the loss of a pet canary bird, which by some means escaped from its cage last evening. Any person will be handsomely rewarded by returning that bird to the captain, either at police headquarters or at his residence on the corner of St. Peter and Tenth streets. Mount Zion (Hebrew) congregation had a very pleasant, largely attended benefit festival at Merriam park last evening, and the gather ing of mm and women about the illuminated refreshment tables, while the children romped and young folks walked the park, made up a scene which attracred many spectators.
