Conkling's , Spartan band may have been very heroic, but like the bull that tried to buck the locomotive off the track, they exhibited but little discretion. Fofc as foul a body as the Pennsylvania legislature proved itself it consumed a large quantity of cleansing materials. During the first two mouths of its ses •ion the bills paid for soap and bay rum for the use of the members amounted to five hundred dollars. With such a sup ply it ought to have been the most clean y body in existence. There is considerable excitement in Chicago over the lax manner in which the inspectors of fish have performed their duties. It is claimed^by the news papers that the people of that city have been eating decayed fish for some weeks fast. They will receive but little com fort or sympathy, however, from other quarter*, for people in these quarters know whether they eat a fresh or a foul fish. The protection required by the peo ple of Chicag* is simply a matter of taste. The Indian question seems now to be in a better condition than it has been in the last ten years. Sitting Bull has sur rendered, and all the tribes in the West seem to be at peace with the whites There is a charge that the Apaches in Arizona and southern California are still obstreperous, but mildly energetic meas ures may induce their submission to the laws of the United States. The Apaches are not as bad as they have been painted. They have beeu subjected to many out rages, and naturally resent them by the only power they appreciate— that of brute force. By the exercise of proper appli ances the interior department can no doubt make of the Apaches good citizens — or at least as good citizens as Indians ordinarilyimake. The receipt of a considerable quantity of dv i ■'■ nte In England from America ."eem? o have excite! the phlegmatic Brit: . .o an altogether iiy necessary ex tent !*6 American citizen *h»pped th< g/uvi; ■•«. anticipation of 'In (I'Ht.^ctioi of irf ■: " the rank? of OU British cousins Those who made the 'sh-pmo ■>'• '>■'•<> v\' doubtedly vandals of. the worst sort, who ought to be hunted down as outlaws in every country on the globe. They will, no doubt, be ultimately brought to jus tice, but. it is hardly charitable or just to charge their offense upon the American people. But, by the way, the Liverpool police officials declare that no such con signments have been received in England. Perhaps it would be better to allow the English police to settle this question be fore attempting to defend the Americans from such an accusation against their morality. __________ THE WASH BURN $5 BENEFIT WAKE. There is little to be added to the report of the Globe envoy, who, in behalf of an appreciative public, contributed alms on Tuesday to the amount of $5, for the benefit of the man wfio represents Min neapolis exclusively on the floor of Con gress. It was an ignoble affair through out. The record has its sad feature in the crushed and shapeless form of poor Minnie Reeves, who was sacrificed in order to clear the track for the alms taker. It has its expensive feature for the stockholders of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, who will be called upon by the relatives of the yonng lady for five thousand dollars — the amount allowed in such cases by law — and two or three thousand dollars more for repairs to roll ing stock. It has its remunerative feature in the shape of 241 tickets, multiplied by $5, which sum will exclusively grace the pockets of the exclusive Minneapolis Congressman. } It had its shameless feature on the part of Mr. Wa3hburn, who accepts charity when appeals are going up from the homeless and penniless sufferers of Brown county for the means of subsist ence suddenly swept away by a tetable cyclone. There is no record of any similar scheme to secure a little money, for a wealthy man, and in view of the plain recital by the Globe, the experiment is not likely to be repeated, even if Minne apolis continues to be able to keep a representative in Congress to care for her interests exclusively, and misrepre sent the remainder of the district. THE Si; l'Ki;sifi COVBT. The death of Justice Clifford leaves the Supreme bench almost wholly Republi can. It is true that Justice Field claims to be a Democrat, but his Democracy is a matter of great doubt. It springs from personal considerations rather than from sctled principle. Justice Clifford was the only man on the supreme bench who has, ever since the outbreak of the war, dared to stand .forward in defense of Democratic principles and of the Dom ocrauc party. He was a stalwart Dem ocrat, who believed in the party with his whole heart and soul. A partisan supreme court is not a de sirable acquisition to the country. But such an institution we now have. The court as it now exists Is grossly partisan, . in a most obnoxious sense. The men who occupy seats upon the bench were appointed for their party fealty, not be cause of their judicial attainments. They were politicians rather than judges, and will remain as politicians to the {end of their lives. Scarcely one of the number can be regarded as above the level of the common ward political trickster, and none of them can be pronounced compe tent to occupy the exalted positions which, by the grace of Grant and Hayes, they have been permitted to fill. The suggestion is made that the vacant judge ship be offered to Roscoe Conkling. While he would adorn the bench by his intellectual gifts, he is not of a judicial turn of mind, and it is questionable if he would accept the office if tendered him. It would be a graceful compliment to him if the President would tender it to him, however, and would go far towards healing the breach that now exists in the party. "Happy Excursionists" and Poor Minnie Reeves. In its account of the benefit excursiou to Wa6hburn the Minneapolis Tribune says: The train was advertised to leave at pre cisely 2:80 o'clock, but owing to the fact the track at Hopkins was known to be partially blocked by a wreck, a delay of fifteen minutes occurred, and at Hopkiis another brief delay occurred, and the train reached Solburg's , Point at i o'clock, being just forty minutes late. But the happy excursionists cared little for the delay, and thoroughly enjoyed the fine scenery all along the r«ute. It is evident the Washburn party was com posed of Minneapolis Mark Tapleys, who were bound to be jolly under any circumstances. The "brief delay"' atHopkiHS, "forjwhicu the happy excursionists cared little," was caused by the death of Minnie Reeves, who went out upon an engine, in her capacity as railroad telegraph operator, to clear the trick for the "happy excursionists." A Min neapolis paper says: "She was thrown against "the boiler with sufficient force to fracture "her skull, and the coal in the tender was "emptied upon her, burning her terribly. It "was twenty minutes before the es caping steam from "the wrecked en "gine would allow the trainmen to go "to her rescue and then they could secure only "the almost lifeless body." This was the sad fate ot poor Minnie Reeves, but our member of Congress secured his "benefit" of a thou sand dollars and his friends— "the happy ex cursionists — cared little for the delay." ADDITION TO KITTSONDALE. ___— __ - Rumor that Commodore" Kittson has Pur chased the Three- Year-Old Wonder, Phil Thompson— The Sport at Cleveland. Parties who returned yesterday from attend ance upon the Chicago races, report that Commodore N. W. Kittson was a most inter ested spectator of the colt trot Tuesday, for four-year-olds and under, so handsomely won by Phil. Thompson, a three-year-old, in three straight heats, in the remarkable time of 2:25, 2:24 j,, 2:21, the last heat beating the three year-old record by 2^ seconds, and the report was current after the race that the Commo dore had bought the winner to add to tfce galaxy of trotting stars already gracing Kittsondale. While the report lacks confirmation, it can be stated the com modore is an admirer of the colt's breeding, and that he has had his business eye on him for some time, and as he generally buys what he likes, with little reference to the price, it is not at all improbable he has made the pur chase. Mr. Kittson is expected home to-day, and upon his arrival the truth of the reported purchase can be ascertained. Phil. Thompson, • ■.•«> colt in Question, was named after a well known Congressmm. He was sired by Red A'ilkes, a son of tfef ige Wilkes, he by Rys •3 k'a Hambl> touian, dam Bayard, by Pilot, .>r.

St. Paul, July27.— The undersigned, citi zens of the Fourth ward, for themselves and others connected with the movement recently brought to the attention of Mayor Rice by a d§ putation from their number, in order to cor rect erroneous statements published in some of the newspapers, feel called upon to say that this movement is directed to the suppression of certain netorious houses of ill-fame which are intolerable nuisances in the neighborhood. The residents of this neighborhood were also greatly annoyed by a saloon on Exchange street known as the Emmert's brewery saloon, and to some extent by a saloon at the cof*ner of Third and Exchange streets, which were complained of at the same time. Mayor Rice has interfered in reference to both these saloons, revoking the license of the oae first mentioned. This movement is not a crusade against saloons or liquor dealers in general, nor is money being subscribed or raised for such a purpose by us or by others, and we deny the statement* made to that effect.

Harwoad Dylmg. Gust Hopping who keeps a grocey store on the corner of Farrington and Melrose avenues received a telegram on Tuesday from Mrs. N. B, Harwood dated at Jacksonville, Fla., say ing that Mr. Harwood was dangeously ill and requesting that his oldest son Henry, who for the pa6t two months has been stopping with Dr. Woodruff on his farm near the 6tock yarde.be sent to Jacksonville at once, as his fatker wa6 seriously ill and desired to see him. Mr. Hopping, who is well acquainted with the Harwood surroundings, thinks that Mr. Harwood is not only dangerously, but fa tally ill, otherwise he would have received no buch telegram. The son telegraphed for is.l 7 years of uge|and is partially paralyzed. He was sent from the South some two months ago upon the recommendation of physicians, who said he comld not live there. The fact that he is called back by telegraphed, Mr. Hopping thinks, is evidence that Mr. Harwood is dan gerously ill. The pon, who is almost help less, left yesterday morning in charge of a trusted friend for Florida. Mr. Joseph Lathrop, residing at Seventh and Church streets, Wilmington, Del., says that he had a very severe attack of rheuma tism in the hip. He suffered so much that he scarcely could walk. Having purchased a bottle of St. Jacobs OQ, before retiring he bathed his hip and repeated the act upon aris mg the next morning, and in a day or two he , was as well as he ever had been. THB SAINT PAUL JDAILY GLOBE. THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1881. STILLWATER STRIKERS, THE MEN IN NELSON 6 CO.'S MILL INAUGURATE THE MOVE. The Strikers Cull at Other Mills-Mr. Hos pes Welcomes Them With a Revolver— His Men Kemain and the Strikers Leave — The Mayor Meet » Tliem at Hersey. Bean & Brown's and Has to Eject Them by Force— Attempting: to Capture Staples' Mill— Extra Police on Duty— Fear That the Strike Will Be General To-day—Dis astrous Fire in McKusick, Anderson & Co.'s Lumber Yard— A Million Feet of Lumber Burned and the Fire Still Burning. [Stillwater Report for the St. Paul Globe.] Yesterday morning when the time came to start up tbe sawm'll of C. N. Nelson & Co., some forty of the men refused to go to work, and immediately left the mill. They then proceeded to the mill of Schulenburg, Boeck eler & Co., aud endeavored to get their men to join in the strike, and what the result would have been, we cannot tell, had not Mr. Ernest Hosi>eB appeared ou the scene of action at the time. Mr. Hospes told his men that all who wanted to join in the strike could go, but he wanted them to leave the mill peaceably and not to trouble those who wanted to stay. He talked to them some time and advised them to keep on with their work and pay no heed to the other party, and as a result not a man left. The strikers made some threats to shut down the mill, when Mr. Hospes pulled from his pocket an instrument that looked very much like a revolver, and told them that the first man that put his hand on to a machine would be shot down on the spot. They saw that Mr. Hospes meant business, and net wishing to take any chances they left the mill. After a short consultation they proceeded in a body to the mill of Her6ey, Bean & Brown, where they were met by the mayor, who advised them to leave and let the men alone who wanted to work. He advised them to be peacable or they would get into trouble, as he should protect all parties who wanted to work. They then went into the mill, when the mayor came up and ordered out the police force, aud a squad of the Grand Array. Sheriff Ilolcomb anil Officer McKusick, with a few police, went down and cleared the mill, and dispersed the strikers. A guard of men, well armed, was statinned at each of the mills, with.^ orders to protect the mill and all men who should wish to work. The strikers after having met with defeat on all sides gave up the business, and catered about on the street. It was reported that the men at South Still water had made a strike, but they had no idea of doing so nor is it believed . that had the strike been general that : they would have joined. It was started by some tramps or roving Frenchmen who work a while in one place and then go to another. LATER. About all of Hersey, Bean & Brown's * men left this noon, leaving only enough to run one circular saw. C. N. Nelson started up at noon, with about fifteen men. About 1:30 o'clock the strikers got together on the corner of Main and Chestnut streets, and marched in a body to Mr. Staple's mill, intending to take charge of the engine . room and stop the mill. The police got wind of the matter and a squad of them went up and succeeded in arresting two of the ring leaders and locking them up. This action put a damper on the. rest of the crowd and they left None ot the men at Staples' have left, and every man kept alibis post during the time. The mob con sisted of some forty of C. N. Nelsou'b men and Bom*-- twenty- five of gravel tram men. : It is feared that by to-morrow the, strike will be more general. ,/;'■" '„...., Extra police have been put on and the mills will be strictly guarded and any move that they will make will be promptly met. At present there is no organization to the strike and there has not been any demand made upon the mill owners, but it is supposed that they strike for ten hours. . C. N. Nelser & Co. have succeeded in getting a force of men from outside and their mill will start up this morn-" ing with a force to work all the machinery. LATEST. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Stillwateb, July 27,11 p. — All the men on the lake have joined the strikers, and there is now between one hundred and fifty and two hundred men in the strike.: The , police force has been doubled, and the mills were guarded last night with men well armed, and a strict watch kept all over the city. DISASTROUS LUMBER YARD FIRE. Yesterday, about 5 p. m., a fire broke out in the rafting shed of McKusick, Anderson & C»., across the lake, and in a few minutes the whole building was in a flame. The ■■ steamer from this city was sent over, and, after work ing a few minutes, it gave out. The flames next caught the boarding house, and it seemed for a time that the mill must go, but the bucketjbrigade, from C. N. Nel6on :& . Co.'s .mill was sent over, and all the men that could be got from the mills and otiier places were taken, and they commenced passing water to save the mill. - V ' By this time the flames had caught into the lumber piles in the yard and was raging with all its fury. Hose was then attached to the hydrant at the corner of Chestnut street and Stimson's alley, and run across the bridge, a distance of 3,000 feet. With this stream there was hopes of saving the mill. B A telegram was then 6°nt to Hudson to send their engine, and that came about 7. o'clock, and got to work, but not until the whole lum ber yard was in one solid flame. Every one that could lend a hand did so, in thro win lumber : into the lake, until they .were driven away by the fire,but as the flames swept through the piles on the lake shore.that which* was thrown into the lake caught, and little fo it was saved. By the use of the buckets the mill was saved and also the stable at : the l up per end of the yard. ; . \ ■ The lumber piles was upon made ground, consisting of slabs and sawdust, which is now all on fire, and there >is danger that it \ may work underneath and yet catch the mill.

War of the \ Trunk Linen in Paitaenger Bate*. New York, July 26. — The warfare in pas senger rates to the West, between the trunk lines, continues unabated, and it is probable it will continue for some time to come. In fact, the struggle between the companies, which has for the last few days been some what limited in character, was renewed this morning with increased energy. Yesterday ■ifternooa the New York Central road an jounced the> would sell ticketa to Chicago for $8.50; to Cincinnati for $8.50, and to •t Louib tor $13.75. This was followed b> .'tie Pennsylvania Central, New York, Luke Erie & Western, and the Baltimore & Ohio aiifoads. When the ticket brokers or scalp rs opened their offices this moraiog there was a great rush for tickets, which were offered ut the fol'owing rates: To Chicago for $8, Cincinnati $7.50, and St. Louis $13 25. At the regular ticket offices tickets were i ild at the same rates as were established p.y the Pennsylvania road yesterday, until iboul 10:30, whea Samuel Carpenter, ticket igeut, of the Pennsylvania Central railroad, sent dispatch^ to all ticket offices of the line, instructing agents to sell tickets to Chicago for $8, to Cincinnati lor $7 50, aud St. Louis for $13.25. As soon as we hear that the scalpers are selling below our rates we shall instruct our ticket agents to sell at the same price asked by them, ana we will keep up this fight as long as anybody. We are, not waging warfare against scalpers, but it is against the Erie and New York Cen tral roads that we are fighting, for they are selling tickets to these scalpers and allowing them to sell them at rates lower than they are sold over their own counters. New York, July 27.— Passenger tickets to Western points still continue to decline in price. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad are selling to Chicago to-day for $7.50, and St. Louis $13. Other agents are selling tickets to St. Louis from $11.50 to $12.50. Tickets to Cincinnati can be purchased for $7. Some scalpers think the fair to. Chicago will be re duced to $5 in a few days.

The Centennial is com ing full of people, and present prospects are that she will have a big return trip..

She left St. Louis with all her passenger accommodations absorbed. The Jo line, with its favorite, the handsome and speedy Mary Morton, in and out Sunday. Says the St. Louis Republican: There was a custom prevailing up to 1836 on the boats that would seem strange to our young river men of 1881. All barkeepers were required to i'urnish the dinner table with brandy, gin, whisky and three kinds of wine, placing six decanters of liquor on the table every day, when on a voyage, for the use of passengers and crew, and in addition to that they had to i'urnish all the officers on the boat with all the liquor they desired to drink at the bar, and also send down to the deck hands and firemen about one pint to each man while on 'watch. This was to pay the rent of the bar. Duluth Port News.

About 8 o'clock last evening a dense smoke was observed to be .pouring out of the base" ment of the building, No. 100 East Third street, and a general alarm of fire was seat in. The whole department responded, but only one stream was sent into the building, and that soon extinguished the little tire which hud caused the great smoke. The fire oc curred in a collection of rubbish or waste near ihe bo ler, and the damage was small. At 11 p. in., the doors having been broken in, and hII connected with the two establishments occupying the -building (the Dispatch and Volkszeitung) being in the seventh hour of their nightly rest, the premises were in charge of a watchman employed by the police.

Macy Callis, respondent, vs. Edward K. Ware, and James N. Davidson, appellants. Syllabus — Action upon a policy upon the life of the plaintiff's husband payable upon his death to his wife, or in case of her death before his, then to their children, the husband having paid all the premiums: Decker vs. the Charter Oak Life Insurance company, followed, upon the points that such policy belongs the moment it is issued to the beneficiaries named therein, that the life in sured has no legal or equitable interest in it, that if it has been delivered to and is held by him he holds it as a naked deposit, and that therefore he cannot assign or transfer it for any purposfi in pledge or otherwise. The plaintiff, her husband joining, made and delivered a written assignment of the pol icy mentioned to secure the payment of two described notes, one payable in sixty days and the other in six months after date, given by her husband for his prior indebtedness, and for his benefit and in his business, and not for her benefit nor in hi 6 business, as the assignee well knew. The assignment provided that if the notes were not paid within two years and six months from date, the assignee might surrender the policy, receive the full surren der value and pay the notes from the proceeds, and if the* life insured should die at any time before the notes were paid, the assignee was authorized to receive from the. msuraifte money the sum due upon the notes, and upon meir payment the assigment was to be void. When the 60 days' note became due it was satisfied and surrendered. When the other fell due, new note* were given in its place, payable in 3 and 6 months, and thereupon the old note was surrendered to the maker. Some ciuie after they fell due these new notes were surrendered to the maker, who gave two other notes in their place, payable in 4 and 6 months. Of these changes plaintiff had no notice or knowledge. One of the notes last given is still unpaid. The plaintiff made no agreement respecting the policy except that contained in the assignment before mentioned. Held, That the plaintiff, in assigning the policy, became at most merely a surety for her husband, and that the time for the pay ment of the debts for which she became •surety, having been enlarged without her knowledge or consent (even if not actually paid by the surrende- of the old note), dis charged her and set her policy free. Held, also, That the provision in the assign ment, authorizing the assignee to "realize" from the policy in case the original notes were. not paid in two Tears and six months, in no way extended their time of payment, nor au thorized anyone to extend the same, or waived any of the plaintiff's rights in case of such extension. Held, further, That at least in the absence of nny objection for want of proper sureties, plaintiff by demurrer or answer, the plaintiff alone is entitled to maintain an action for the recovery of the policy against mere strangers having no right to its possession.
