Hon Ignatius Donnelly, in contesting Washburn's seat before a strongly Repub lican congress, was fraught with sufficient success to indicate to even a skeptical mind that Mayor Ames' contest must re sult in ignominiously ousting tho briber, W.

Dr. Ames will show up over 400 instances where frauds were prac ticed. Nettleton, of the Tribune, is now adver tising himself as a modern reformer. He will lecture in the Baptist church on Wed nesday evening, and his subject, as he spells it, is "Suggestions on Reform." The readers of this Philadelphia philosopher's long winded editorials upon the tariff ques tion, which he says is the only great issue of the times, published during the recent campaign, and then comparing them with the sickly "whip-saw" affair just published, can certainly have no confidence in Nettle ton's sincerity. It will no doubt serve to amuse if it fails to instruct. At ail events it will be a free affair, and the valiant general may succeed in drawing an audi ence.

Charged with Keeping the Exit Doors at the Academy Locked During Entertainments — Pleads Not Guilty. Yesterday Manager Herrick, of the Aca demy of Music, was arrested on the charge of permitting the exists of the theater to be locked during the progress of an enter tainment held there by the Boston Ideal Opera company on Friday evening. The following is a copy of the allega tions contained in the warrant: "On the 1st day of December, A.D. 1882, at the city of Minneapolis, in said conn ty, E. W. Herrick, then and there being one of the owners, and the agent for the owners, of a certain public hall, known as the Academy of Music, in said city, did then and there wil fully, unlawfully and wrongfully permit certain doors opening from said public hall, to-wit: Two doors on the northwester ly side of paid public hall, to be kept locked and fastened, and in such a condition that in case of danger and necessity, immediate escape from said public hall would be prevented and interfered with by said doors being so locked and fastenedthis during an exhibition, entertainment and meeting held therein, to-wit: an entertain ment called The Mascotte—an opera then and there given by a company known as The Boston Ideals, in the presence of a large number of people, to-wit: over 500 people, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided, and against the peace aed dignity of the state of Minnesota. Wherefore complainant prays that said offended may be arrested and dealt with according to law." . Mr. Herrick was arraigned before Judge Cooiey, when he pleaded not guilty and the case continued until Wednesday. He was allowed to go upon his own recog nizance. Last evening a Globe reporter met Mr. Herrick, who stated most .emphatically that in no instance had the exit doors of the Academy been locked during any entertainment, and that as to placing chairs in the aisles, no greater wrong could be done him than to make the asser tion. The only movable chairs which had been in the auditorium were three placed in the orchestra on Friday evening by members of the Ideal company and with out the knowledge of the management.

On Friday evening Mrs. Capt. Tapper, of Minnehaha, met with a fatal accident. In company with her husband she had been taking a sleigh ride. Returning home the horse became fractious and un manageable. Mrs. Tapper was thrown out, and the animal in his prancing threw himself and fell with great violence upon the prostrate lady, inflicting fatal injuries. Capt. Tapper is an old resident;—a pio neer—and is widely known. He resided upon the Franklin Steele estate, near the falls. - Minnehaha City. The protest to the petition for the in corporation of the city of Minnehaha is being unanimously signed. Stiles Grey who is one of the parties in charge of the protest reports obtaining 100 signatures in a day. The scheme is now conceded to be dead beyond all hope of resurrection, and when the matter comes before Judge Ueland on Wednesday, the last sad rites will probably be performed. A Morse's Freak. vAs car No. 38 of the Eighth avenue line was starting down Washington avenue from the turn table about 10 o'clock last night, the horse attached to it became un manageable, and when near Third avenue north broke loose from the car, and dashed down the avenue to Hennepin, turning down Hennepin he sprang upon the sidewalk, slipped and fell down a flight of fourteen stone steps into a basement. The animal was not seriously, injured by the fall and was removed later in the night. Worthy of Praise.

The per son who took the property is known to the police. The fire department is pretty well equipped for war on the fire fiend,. having lately received 500 feet of cotton hose which can be coupled with the rubber hose, making a total of 1,100 feet. A man was arrested Friday evening charged with stealing the picture of a lady and a pocketbook said to contain §7. The picture and seventy-five cents were found on the person of the arrested party. The correspondence between the trus tees of the Cniversalist society and the Rev. Mr. Preble, have very probably . re sulted in securing the services of that gen tleman as pastor of the church in this city. There is said to be two more families living in the vicinity of McKusick's lake, both of whom are in fully as destitute a condition as tho one mentioned in the Globe a few days ago. Both of these families are French and entirely ignorant of English. When they moved in a short time ago their furniture consisted of an old chest. The Reading club of this city held its first meeting of the season at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Murdoch, on Mon day evening last. The subject chosen for discussion this winter was "Cities." Much pleasure and profit was derived from these gatherings last winter, and without doubt the present course will prove equally in teresting. Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday after noon one of Farmers livery hacks was struck by a train on the Transfer com pany's road. Fortunately there was no passengers in the vehicle at the time. The hack was on its way to the Duluth depot and nearly half the body of the carriage was across the track when struck by a train that was backing up. Had the hack been occupied at the time the result must have been disastrous. ■. •'„'. On Saturday afternoon Warden Reed was presented to an old acquaintance in the person of one James White, who has been placed under the warden's care for twenty five years. White is from Clay county.and has been sent to the state prison for the above period for the crime of rape. This is the prisoner's second term, he having served out a term of two and a half years 1 for larceny. The first time he was under a different name than the one now assumed by him. On Saturday afternoon a strong opposi tion sprang up between two venders of patent medicines. A stranger took up a , position on Chestnut when, with stentorian voice, he announced the merits of his great , cure-all, a sample bottle of which he gave . away. The stranger was flourishing finely when Tim Fox took his place a few feet from his rival, and soon his shrill piping tones could be heard explaining} to the l public the great curative powers of his . preparation, all of which was highly pleas ing to the crowd, who patronized the free institution quite \ liberally. But Tim screamed louder and louder. The stranger could stand it no longer, so he packed up his bottles and beat a retreat. If another trial is had Tim will do some loud scream , ing. He did not do his best this time by a good deal. '_ *.' BULLY FOE BILLSON. The Board of Canvassers Declara Hiin Duly Elected to the State Senate— Lone Wrangle Over the Admission of the Votes of Cass and Itasca Counties. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Duluth, Minn., Dec. 2.—The legislative board of canvassers met in the court house this forenoon to canvass the vote for state senator and representatives. There were present the county auditors of St. Louis, Carlton, Cook and Lake counties, and F. W. Thompson, of Crow Wing, who is also auditor of Cass and Itasca, besides two justices of the peace and the judge. A large number of citizens were also present, anxious to hear the result of the canvass. Messrs. Ensign, Wilson and D. G. Cash at tended to expound the law. As soon as the board wj.s ready to organize the question was raised as to Frank Thompson's right to membership on it, Cash and Ensign ar gued against it and Billson for it, when Hankins, of Carl ton, suddenly asked by what right outsid ers were discussing the membership of the board. It was for themselves to decide, and they were not obliged to hear argu ments from spectators. Their duty was to canvass the returns. Thompson said he had acted as auditor of the two counties for six years, and his right to canvass the election returns was never before disputed, and even in the present election the state board of can vassers had recognized him without hesi tation. He ended the discussion by mov ing that the board proceed to business, which resolution was unanimously adopt ed. The count thus proceeded un til the votes of the two counties came up again, when Mr. Ensign presented a written pro test against their admission on the grounds of alleged frauds. Here another wrangle ensued. Cash and Mitchell, of the Tribune, instructed the board what to do. The board finally got mad at the bulldozing tactics of these gentlemen, and taking the bit in their own mouths decided by 4 to 2 that the vote should be admitted. This ended the matter, and Billson and Parker were declared duly elected amid the plau dits of the spectators. This will probably end the efforts of the bulldozing clique to over-ride the will of the people, as it is not probable that the defeated candidates will be foolish enough to contest the seats at the risk of having to hammer their heels on the outer walls of the state house all winter, w—■_.

Dallas, Tex., Dec. Last night, be tween D and 10 o'clock, the north bound express train, on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railroad, stopped at Plum sta tion, seventy-five miles from Dallas. The engine was boarded by three heavily armed men, who, with leveled six shooters, com manded the engineer to pull out, and be quiet about it, which he did. After pro ceeding three miles the engineer was ordered to slow down, and a moment or two later, a torpedo, placed on the track as a signal to half a dozen confederates, who emerged from the brush, exploded. The explosion of the torpedo, not only , had the effect of conveying notice to those concealed in the wood, but aroused the attention of the guard in the express car,who,seeing several men approaching the train, promptly opened fire on them, hearing which the men on the engine jumped to the ground and ran to their companions, who were be ing, vigorously fired upon by the g uard. fbavne's folly. Cincinnati, O., Doc. 2.Frayne was be fore the police court this morning ' on the charge of manslaughter for shooting An nie Von Behren at the Coliseum theater during the performance of "Si Slocum." He appeared quite calm at the beginning but as the testimony proceeded he was restless and at times deeply affected. The prosecution offered the testimony of Ser geant Benninger, who saw the shot, and who arrested Frayne, and of Mr. Bean, a member of the company, who explained the cause of the accident. He said the thread of the screw that holds the spring catch was worn or torn off, and the screw was blown out of the gun. The catch losing its hold permitted the gun barrel to drop, and that sent the bullet below its aim Mr. Frayne's breast and neck were burned and blackened by the powder es caping at the breech of the gua. The prosecution here rested, and said the charge of manslaughter should be sustain ed by the statute, which forbids any one to point a loaded gun at or toward another person. Counsel for Frayne claimed that the statute did not apply, as the gun was not pointed at the deceased, but at an apple six inches above her head. He sug gested also that Frayne had already suf fered the worst that could happen to any one, and that no punishment by the law could give greater weight to the lesson of this accident. Judge Higley leaned to the opinion that the statute was not disobeyed in this case, because the gun was aimed at an object and not a person. He said the testimony clearly showed there was not the slightest criminal intent, and the prisoner should be discharged. The announcement was greeted with emphatic applause. Cincinnati, Dec. 2.—The remains' of Anna Von Behren, who was shot by Frank Frayne on Thursday, started at 8 o'clock this evening, by railway, for the funeral at the home of Miss Van Behren's parents in Brooklyn, N. Y. They will arrive there about 9 to-morrow. Frank Frayne and the entire company went along on the same train and will attend the funeral in a body. CRIOTNAL CARELESSNESS. Cincinnati, Dec. 2.—The accident on the Kentucky Central railroad last night, was caused by the attempt of the freight train, which was several hours late, to reach Catawba, the next station north of Fal mouth, before the express train should ar rive. Four miles north of Falmouth the two trains met. William Gray, fireman of the passenger train, was killed, and Isaac Ackley, engineer, severely injured. Levi Kirby, engineer on the freight, was slightly injured. Luther Van Hock, of Cynthia, Ky., a passenger, slightly hurt. Both en gines, four freight cars and the baggage car were wrecked. SHIPWRECK.

A Pleasant Paf.time .Which Has Lost Its Pristine Innocence. [From London Vanity Fair.] Excitement of one sort or another is an absolute necessity to those for whom an unkind Providence has provided only the dreary occupation of "killing time." For them each day must have its cul minating point ; and, satiated with din ners, the play, concerts and countless dances, the pleasure-seeking world has found at last a mighty panacea in the subtle mysteries of poker. For those who play only for the sake of amusement no game could be better. It is far superior to " Napoleon," which an American friend of mine once de scribed to me as a game of "brute force," for you either win or lose with each deal, whereas, in poker, unless yon are "ante," you can retire and bide your time. But when it is possible for anyone player to raise the "ante" at his pleasure to an indefinite amount, and when the "rise" also is absolutely un limited, then poker becomes a danger ous pastime. There are few, perhaps, who know what a pitch it has lately reached in several- London houses. It is no longer a game ; it is a serious busi nsss. "little poker dinners" are now arranged almost nightly. The pious pretense of having a "low" table and a "high" one is nearly explod ed. Those whose modest means might induce them to play at the former are soon detected and are simply not asked again ; while the plunger is besieged with invitations and the "high" table is full to overflowing. Everything, of course, goes by comparison, and that which might seem low at the turf " is high whore ladies are concerned, and there are always ladies at poker parties. It is just their presence which makes poker so dangerous. They get more excited than the men, and plunge more desperately. One interesting spinster of my acquaintance, after winning £73 the other night, was so elated with her success that she seriously talked of buy ing a yearling and commencing active operations on the turf! Reflection, however, and. subsequent losses, have, I am glad to say, somewhat dampened the ardor of her sporting proclivities. \ To Gen. Schenck, who less than ten years ago first brought poker to En gland, and at the request of the late Lady Waldegrave wrote out the rules of the game, we are undoubtedly indebted for the present gambling mania in pri vite life, which, as we have already shown, is doing such serious injury to the poorer members of society. Surely it is possible to amuse oneself after din ner without trying to ruin one's friends or enrich oneself. Poker in moderation is an excellent safety-valve no doubt for after-dinner excitement, but carried to the length it has lately reached it be comes a serious social scandal. There are plenty of gaming clubs and to spare for those who choose to frequent them. In the meanwhile it should not be pos sible to say that any hostess can offer greater inducements to play in a private house than those provided by the keep er of a public hell. Bismarck. The first day of April— "All-Fool's Day"—is the birthday of one | who has done more to change the map of Europe than any man now living. Otto von Bismarck was born in 1815, the year of the battle of Waterloo'. When quite a little fellow he was sent away to boarding-school. The boys were badly fed and strictly; ruled, and the lad who, many years afterward, was called "the man of blood and iron" was a " home boy," and did not like schooL At the university, : however, he seems to have overcome his gentleness in some degree, for he was T always : in mischief, and very popular. It is not until he is 33 years old that we find him in public life as a member of the Prussian . Diet, or Parliament. His sympathies were with the King as against the people, because he - thought that Germany could only exist as a king dom. Of course his views on this sub ject brought him plenty of enemies. He complains in a letter to his wife that he is "famous, but not popular." On two occasions he has been shot at and wounded, and the first of these would be assassins he : seized with his own hands, gave him into charge of the police, and then returned home to a dinner-party in his own house. Though Bismarck is a statesman by profession, and not a soldier, he has seen much war. The short but decisive cam paign between Prussia and Austria in 1866 was Bismarck's doing, and his fore" thought. hastened on the great war b_ tween France and Germany in 1870, for he knew that the Germans would win. In 1871, Count von Bismarck was ap pointed Chancellor of the German Em pire, and created a Prince. No man in Europe wields greater ; power than he, and in his tastes he is extremely simple, being fond of country life and sports.— Harper's Young People. Love and Money. The charge made against money by the apostle, the preacher said, was au accident of the recklessness of the times. Pursuit of property was even more un scrupulous .than at the present time. Wars were carried on for pillage,' and the most conspicuous civil administrators made forcible levies of money on their provinces. The expression that love of money is a bad passion is full of mean ing, and whoever will study deeply the habits of the period must conclude that the " accursed hunger" was the cause of unmeasured wrong as done by nations and individuals. While pondering on the intense utterance of St. Paul, along comes One broader and loftier, who says, " Son, go work in My vineyard;" but, as work involves pay or property, it must be that there is a* love of money that is not the root of evil, but is the root of all good, and that it may be the root of all evil or of all good. In the struggle for existence, which is the basis of labor, man wins more than existence, for he gradually ennobles his being. Money is one of the earliest and most universal and most powerful motives. Money is a general name for wants. It is thus the earliest motive of action, for man coming into this world wants a dinner before he wants a literature or a relig ion. He longs for clothes and shelter before he has any aspiration for music or pictures. The/ money which will purchase the food and clothing and shelter is thus the earliest and most .universal of motives, and thus becomes a pioneer to lead men out of barbarism into the light of learn ing and refinement. Before man was noble enough to be moved by patriotism, or by a thirst for knowledge, or by piety, or by a taste for the beautiful, he began to be affected by money, and to be waked out of his sleep by a considera tion of the things it would buy. The rapid occupation and civilization of this continent are due as much to the love of money as to any other single passion of the heart. The Daniel Boones of American history should be granted only a page of honor, for in some sense they were pioneers of religion and culture, but a man whose love of property was quite well satisfied with & coat and cap made of skins and with a trusty rifle cannot make a wilderness glad or bloom. The passion for gold, which founded a Lead ville or a Denver, or a San Francisco, or a Chicago, is ten thousand times more powerful for good than are the rifles of the Boones in the depths of the forest. Would that we could now measure this impulse and learn how long it should influence the individual career ! The trade winds of the sea blow according to fixed laws, and the mariner in the South ern oceans knows what ' months of the year will bring him favorable or reverse gales; but we know not definitely how long this breeze of gain should waft upon the sea that mysterious wanderer, the human heart. All is obscure and indefinite. This is most certain, that the love of accumulating properly fol lows many too long, and offers rum in stead of salvation. As the ambition which is implanted in the mind to urge it onward along lawful paths may pass beyond its bounds and make an invader of peaceful states a devastating General, so this passion for material things may take possession of the whole soul and life of a man, and crush him as the ser pents crushed the Laocoon, the priest of Latin fable. Hev. David Swing. Frightened. The well-known safeguard against small-pox, the honor of the discovery of which is linked with the name of Dr. Edward Jenner, has proved its value by constant use through the greater part of a century. The enterprising doctor was the first to prove and establish vaccina tion as a "prophylactic" of such won derful benefit, but it was a far more ig norant man who first applied it, and furnished the hint on which the learned physician acted. A medical writer in the Boston Herald says: "It is generally supposed that Dr. Jenner was the first person who attempt ed to perform the operation of vaccina tion, and it is true that he investigated the matter and brought it before tho public. Vaccination was, however, per formed by a farmer in England some fif teen years before Dr. Jenner attempted it. This manwho had the temerity to vaccinate his children with virus taken directly from the cowis stated to have been an able and discreet person ordi narily, but this rashness of his came very near costing him Ms life. The pop ular feeling was so strong against him that he was obliged to leave the section of the country in which he lived, and his children were carefully guarded, as it was expected they would exhibit some of the characteristics of the animals from which they had been vaccinated. It was expected that horns would appear upon their heads and hair upon their bodies, but, of course, nothing happened to the cliildren, and they received no in jury from the vaccination. It was this fact which probably first called tho at tention of Jenner to the subject of vac cination. Youth' ; a mipanion.
