Of course the Sabin men will t Eke a great interest in Hubbard's re-election. He was so Irv.e last winter to the Sabiu crowd. The oldest of the two children of the late Gen. .lames B.

The Lieutenai.!, Colonelcy in the army made vacant by the di.-misßal of Col. ll ges has been nlltd by the promotion of Major Coppin^tr, Hou. Jas. G. Blame's son-in-law. From some cause the major's promotions in the army have followed in rapid susce.ssion. The Boston //era/i thinks it "real mean" of President Arthur to come home from a three or four months' jaunting tour, and begin mousing around the White Hou36 to see if the employes are on duty betimes in the morning. Unfortunate Arthur. He cannot please his party critics. Justice Hablan of the United States supreme court has uttered the judicial judgment that his dissenting opinion in the civil rights case i 3 too small to make a presidential canvass on, but large eno-tfh to make him very ridiculous if his super serviceable friends continue to "boom" him as they have begun. It is reported that Hancock pays ten cents per bushel more for wheat than Morris, a town but a few miles distant, Hancock has an independent elevator, while Morris has the "ring" elevator only. This is retributive justice. In 1878 the people of that region had a ohance to rid themselves of all sucti grievance 3 but they preferred to vote for Bill Washburn end now they got their reward. Verdict— Served 'em ri^ht. Me. Matthew Aenold says ho doesn't like the publio journals in '. la=j country. "The American newspaper has a fraa mentary look to me," he remarks. They lack ''lucidity" as it were, and Mr. Arnold appreciates nothing but magnificsnt pon dero-I'y. The esthetic gentleman should assimilate the vigorous fragmentary Amer ican ways, and put himself in a mood to enjoy life, and discontinue moping like a Btick. Gov. Buileb of Massachusetts frequent ly makes four speeches a day, 60 lively is his campaign. He is always fresh and interesting and saying something new. The newspapers, ia order to keep abreast of the publio demand for Butler's speech es, are issuing double numbers daily. While Butler is making it interesting for the people, Air. Robinson, the Republican candidate, is repeating the same "stale, flat and unprofitable" address two or three times a week, a matter which occupies but email gpace in the public ear and thought. Judge Kelley has reached home from Europe Eomewhat improved in health. His journeying abroad however has not atjall improved his ultra protection heresy, but he declaros that he is more ardent for that doctiine than ever before, though in a sort of eadly apck.getiQ to:c6 he says, he is too -old a man and fcna thoroughly convinced of the justice of his views to permit what he saw abroad to unsettle his opinions, and affirci3 ha has returned a more pronounced and unoompromi-dag protectiocist than ever. It is to be regret ted th at the Judge confesses he is too clci to learn, for better things had beea thought of him; for however wrong-headed, he is one of ft thousand, as a man whom publio life has not tainted with dishonesty. Aco temporary turns a good point on the Judge; which is added below: Judg'Kelley has returned to Philadelphia from his five months' trip abroad a more rani pant protectionist than iver. Us gays that while in England he went np to free trade Bir mingham, and there saw women working in nail factories, with their little children huddled about them, which grieved his heart full sore. If the Judge will come over to New York we will show him thousands of women working in factories and toiling over sewing machines, and now and then we might show him a poor woman selling newspapers in the rain while hugging a eit-kly child to her wasted bosom. Will the Judge's system of protection, when elaborated, put a stop to this? Ay ARGVMB.\T FOR CREMATION. Tha recent outbreak of cholera in Egypt in villages that had escaped the scourge at tho time of its prevalence earlier in the season, is one of the strongest arguments yet adduced iv favor of the cremation of the bodies of the dead. The villages were remarkable for their exceptional cleanli ness, aad although the disease was raging all around them th6y escaped unscathed. Is was not until more than a month after the subsidence of the plague elsewhere th&t it broke out in these villages, and is now decimating the population at a fearful Tate. The cauae of this singular phenomenon was at first a mystery, but has now been fully explained. Not far from the riTer from which the people drew their water supply a cemetery is located in which were interied the remains of the victims of the cholera who died in Cairo and the sur rounding country. The infiltration from these graves into the river impregnated the water with disea3e, and hundreds of those who drank it have already died, while the disease is still raging. This is not an exceptional case. In scores of instances epideaaios of every sort can be traced directly to this cause. The decaying bodies that fill the earth in the vicinity of all our large cities necessarily foul all water in the vicinity, Wells are rendered unwholesome and even runnirg streams are rendered impure and their water unfit for domestic nsea. Not only that, Ik t the air is filled with poisoi b that, though perhaps not plain!/ percspti- ble. are inhaled into the lungs and perme ate tho whole system, producing disease and death. Cholera, small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet and typhoid f aye.'s are all propa gated by this means, and unloss some remedy is devised it will not be long before these diseases become and continue epi demic throughout the greater part of the country. Cremation appears to be the only avail able and common sense remedy. Fire is a great purifier, and destroys the germs of all disease. The prejudice against this manner of disposing of the dead is re,pic ly disappearing) and when it cornea to be generally understood that it is conducive to the publio health that it be put in ?gtn eral practice, it will disappear altogether. There should be a crematory in the vicinity of all large citie?, and there is no reason to doubt that through familiarity with the process the public will soon become as reconciled to the furnace as they row are to the cemetery. Of the two methodsburial and burning—the latter is certainly less repulsive to think ing people. Nothing can bo more re volting than to consign tha body of a loved one to the grave, thore to lie and rot and to be devoured by foul and loathsome worms, which Have nothing' behind bat bare and bleached bones and a Rrinning skull. BIMOUx .-./. t/' •i. / X(i. A Sunday ijflit Party and » Keg of Beei It .suit iv Two Very Bloody Heads-From Sharp Tongued Fan to V.-o: 7itd Furj and Indiscriminate Use of Flatirors and Tea-kettles. The patrol wagon was summoned be tween 8 and 9 o'clock last evening to the corner of Charies street and Virginia ay 9nue, in the extreme outskirts of tha city, and Officers Gibbons and Zirkelbach en tered the 6a mo and were rapidly driv 'n by "Doc"ta the place indicated where t.ouble was brewing. • On the way thither they camo upon James Gannon, the turnkey to the conntj: jail., and his nephew, Ptt Gannor, who were both badly wounded in the head, and were bleeding profusely. Taking them aboard they proceeded to tho house of John Burke, a laborer, vrhero a 3erious altercation had occurred, and found the door barricaded by Barke and his brother Patriot Burke and another laborer named Colsman McGeary, who were assisted in their attempts to pre vent an entrance by the women folks who were fully as determined as the men. Succeedicg at last in gaining admittance they arrested the males amid the wrecks of a regular old country scrimmage, and conyeyed them with the wounced parties to the city hall, where Pat Gannon es pecially was a sight t;> see. his head being turbaned in old shawls to stop the flow of blood from his wonud-1 and hi 3 clothirjg being completely drenched with the life current. The two Barke's and McGsery were im mediately locked up in cells and Dr. Witherlo was called to attend to the in juries of the Gannons and soon acrivjd with assistants. As the v rapping was re moved from Pat's head the blood spurted out from a four or five inch wound run ring along on the top of tho loft side of bis head, caused by being slugged by a flat iron, but as was not expected the sknll was found to have withstood a fearful blow aad was not injured. It took tho surgeon nearly a half hour to sow up and dress this ugly wound, r.nd he then tock up the case of James' Gannon, who had a three ire.i flat iron wound in his scalp just on top his forehead, and a four or five irch wound on the left -de of his head which ha said was uiflk. i by a tea-kettle, which tore Li» ? c ilp in a fearful manner,"entire ly removing hair and skin, but which, nev ertheless was not deep. James was bailed by Sheriff O'Gorman on account of a eick wife whom he should go home to, and Fat was cared for at the station and will prob ably be taken to the hospital this morn ing. As near as could be ascertained the Gan nons called at Burke'a house at 7:30 last evening on somo er rand, a3 James says, connected with the illness of his wife. The elder Burke 83y3 that his family and a lot of second cousins were having a good, time over a t«g of beer, and that the Gannons and the party got into some fan talking which got into a fight,and he tried as hard as he could to stop it as he didn't like such things to ba K°* D-» op HI ma hoti:». Jame3 Gannon says that he got to black guarding with the Burkes over some rela tives who used to live in Boston, and as he drinks no liquor, says that words were ex chiViiged as to who was the man who could whip anybody or his weight in wild cats, and that he .wa3 struck with a flat iron jby Coleman MoGeary, whom the Burkes assisted and who also got in the blow with the tea-kettle and thh t his nephew Pat who came to his assistance also received the ugly wound from a flat iron at the hands of the same man. It was learned that others were present who took no hand in the affray who were said to be John Gary and Martin Connoly. It was as it resulted, a bad break up to a Sunday night party, and the municipal court will determine this morning who left off fun and blackguard for bloody fight, rs the Gannon's have entered a com plaint against the two Burkes and McGeary for assault. STILLWA.TEU GLOBULES. The bridge receipts for the past week amounted to f 140.75. There was but one arrest on Saturday, act? that for drunkenness. c ley Pettibone, baggageman on the Stillwater division of the Omaha road fell from the roof of a box car which he was assisting to side track late Saturday after noon. Mr. Pettibone escaped with a badly sprained ankle. As he narrowly mi-st'd falling under the wheels, he can easiiy put up with being compelled to limp about for a few days. As the city disclaims "all liability for damages resulting from defective side walks, how will it be ehonld a person break a leg by a mis?tep caused by the difference in the grade of said walks? This sugges tion is offered in consequence of the matiy mishaps occurring almost every week night oa lower Main street. Strangers hurrying to the depot and unacquainted with the unevenneas referred to, are liable to injure themselves severely. Yesterday morning a deaf and dumb man, well known in the city, approached Officer Rearden, at the same time making signs with unusual rapidity. It was finally understood that there was some trouble about a watch, which tho dumb man claimed had been sold to him for gold. Chief Shortal took the affair in hand, and compelled the auctioneer to refund the money and take back the watch. The reports from every part of the state i 3 that the potato crop is unusually large. In some instances 350 bushels have been obtained from a single acre. The Mempais races havo again been postponed till Tuesday, on account of heavy rains. THE ST.

Biermann was at the Merchants yesterday, and, after exchanging greetings with a Globe reporter, was accosted by the latter thus: _______ "Mr. Biermann, how goes the battle V" "Oh, we haven't had any battle yet; we are only enlisting recruits and getting our forces in readiness for the battle," was his smiling answer. "The Republican papers seem greatly exercised over the fact that you are a Nor wegian," said the scribe. "Yes," he answered, "if they were to be believed it is a disgrace. lam a disgrace to my countrymen for taking the high honor offered me, and my country men will disgrace themselves ■ if they manifest their gratification by voting for me. However, I rather like such bulldozing on the part of Governor Habbard's organs; it helps me in my can vass."' "Do yen find the Scandinavians," asked the reporter, "very generally supporting you?" "Indeed I do," he replied, "more gener ally than I had reason to expect. The Scandinavians hold the balance .of power m Minnesota. They have been used by the Republican party without so much as a "Thank you." Tney have got tired of that kind of treatment and are keenly alive to tho fact that if lam elected by their as sistance, that they will forever afterward have it in their power to compel the Republicans to recognize them. If lam defeated, the Republican party will not think it worth while to ever honor a Scandinavian. They appreciate this and I am convinced that I will secure over two-third 3of their support." "What effect 13 Nelson's speech-making going to have .:;; ' "None, whatever; the Scandinavians are laughing at him; Last year when he was running for congress, he made his strong est apoeil' to them on the ground that he is a Norwegian, Hence when he comes •around now talking different they refer him to last year and hint about next. The Democrats of the Fifth district will only have to nominate a Norwegian next fall to defeat Mr. Nelson very easily." "Well, now tell the Globe readers what Capt. MacOarthy means by his accusation that you belong to the king's party in Norway." "Mr.J MacCarthy," saidj Mr. Biermann with bo strong an accent on the prefix Mr. that the absence of -'captain ' was pain fully nolicablo, "is either an ignoramus or an ass, perhaps both, and now let me take this opportunity to sei; at rest the foolish stories stated about me. Somebody wrote from Willrnar that I was born near the line in Denmark and that my father was a Ger man brewer. In the year 1418 my ances tor came from Germany to Christiana, the capital of Norway and settlei there. There my people have resided through succa:sive generations and there I was born. There never was one of cur family engaged in the brewing business, though for that mat tor I cannot see that that would have any bearing in American politics. Twenty-one years ago I cams to tiii3 country and on lieted at once in the Union army. I had received a fair education, my family being of that turn and a local school in Chris tiana having been endowed by my grand father; but farming was the field that had the most promising opening when the civil war was over and to farming I went, and have continued at it except when called upon to serve the people in an official capaoity. As for being in sympathy with the so-called "king's party" in Norway, that is a party, as it now^etands, of very recent organiza tion, and I having imbibed the air of Amer ican liberty and fought for it in the army, certainly cannot be said to have sympathy for royalty. On the contrary my sympa thies are with the people's party in either America, Norway or Ireland. I think I have said enough to confute the arguments of this mimic soldier, Mr. MacCarthy." "Of course you kno .v that MacCarthy's appeals are all to the Iri?h," suggested the reporter, . ;;• "*es, I ki'.ow, but his efforts are puny. Irishmen from all over the state have writ ten to me repudiating him and I have bo many warm Irish friends that I have no fears. Indeed one of them to-day com plimented me by saying I was a better Irishman than Mr. MacCarthy." Again that emphasis on the "Mr." The conversation would have been gladly con tinued by the scribe, but the tete-a-tete was broken by the advent of others and the re porter hastened away. Ilubbard and the Jfine Jting. [Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Ceookston, Minn., Oot. 25.—1 have held my peace in this campaign because I thought it unnecessary to say anything. Things seemed S3 one-sided, and seemed to be going so steadily one way —towards Biermann, that the opposition were en titled to slight consideration. There has been a change though. The Republicans have taken the alarm and seek to divert t le Biermann boom by violently attacking Mr. Biermann's oharaoter. Now turn about is fair play. While the goody-goody Republican organs are reverently salaam ing before the "virtuous and upright Go?. Hubbard" and declaring his administra tion undented, etc., the pub lio should be made aware of some of his official aots which hardly have the color of eiiher honesty or justice. You will remember that about the 251b of last August the-e was published in the Globe and other St. Paul papers a letter written by Governor Hubbard to the de partment of the interior at Washington, recommending that all the Indians ou the various reservations in the northern part of the state be removed to the White Earth reservation. This especially referred to the Red Lakf> band. The letter excited no comment at tho time except among the in itiated few, of which I happsn to be one. Now for the explanation. The land now held by the Red Lake In dians includes some of the fiaest pone lam's in the state. If the '.redskins are removed what becomes of their valuable lands? They are thrown open to settlement by the Uni ted States government. Now, Mr. Editor, there is not a man, woman or child in the state that does not know how pine lands are gobbled up in this state. Thundering Gordon, himself an operator and initiated in the methods, has recently made a charming expose of them in the Globx. Gordon told us there ia a gigantic pine land ring in Minnesota and named the leaders. We all know them in this part of the country. They have been operating here, stealing pine off this Red Lake In dian reservation, and when Father Toma zin, a missionary among that band, went to Washington to protest he was coldly ig nored, and oa his return ej acted by orders from the Interior dt- partment, for the' pine land ring has influence with that most corrupt of all our departments —tha Interior and Congressman Washburn needs only to say the word to have it all his own way. I have, I think, di3o!osed who would be benefited If the Red Lake Indian reserva tion, so long covetbd by the pine land ring, were thrown open to pro empticu, public sale and all othor devices for acquiring valuable property for a moiety of its worth. Now why should Gov. Hubbard seek to be of service to these public thieves? When Windom was ousted (part ly through Hubbard's efforts) the ring lost an efficient ally. They wei 9 dejected and downcast, aye even e&gor to wreak vengeance on the instruments of the defeat. Hnbbard's nomination gave them the first opportunity and they were disposed to avail themselves of it. They manifested '4 no enthusiasm toward him, and in some quarters began plotting against them. Then Charley Gilman came to his rescue. Charley was on the inside. Habbard was shown where he could curry favor with this powerful ring. The result we know. Now do the organs of Hubbard dare deny these statements? We will see. Juntos. Sabtn Called lo the Jfront. Winona, Oct. 23, 18S3. Co the Editor of the Globe. Some time since I sent an ariicle to the Globe from FiUmore county. The Re public in papers throughout the stale have made a good deal of ridicule out of it. One aeks, "Who is the laratic Erikf-on?" I \ti!l say to all that lam a traveling man, we!l kuown emong commercial men en the road, and that if I was to make another statement to-day I would make it munh stronger. I think that even Mr. Sabin will now conc3de Mr. Biermann elected. A great many Scandinavians feel very sorry for Mr. Sabin. He think*, no donbt, that he is the Republican party of Minne sota; "the Dsmocratic candidate amounts to uothing." If Mr. Sabiu wants his friend Habbard elected, Bay with fifty in stead of three thousand majority, let him come to the front now. I, for my part, cannot see where Mr. Hubbard is going to get his votes; everything has now been in his behalf. All the Norsk newspapers have been bribed, men and boys are hired for money to work, and Hubbard litera ture is sent by the ton, but "no go he." Nothing short of Mr. Sabin himself will have any effect on them. He has done so much for the Norsks that they feel under great obligations to him. Now Mr. Sabin, for heaven's name, come out at once and rescue your friend. This will be your last warning; you will not hear from me again until after the 6th of November, so if you fail don't blame me. But how is old Fill mora to-day ? You better see about it Mr. Sabin. Ebikson. Ia Ia Mac. To the Editor of the Globe. Hastings, Minn., Oct. 27, 1883. From a* communication in one of the morning papers of this date, the public is notified of the withdrawal of Capt. C. M . McCarthy from" the Democratic party. Just on the eve of the election this action on the part of the Captain might have been destructive to the hopes of those whom he has deserted, but thus far the world moves and "the watch fires of liber ty" burn with their accustomed brightness. We trust that this military hero has at last found a resting place. He ha 3 long been a chronic cur:3 seeker and his ambi tion has cot been gratified in the Demo cratic party, a-i he has never been considered available for any office .within- the -.gift of the party. He has at various times represented all parties. At oae time ho was tha candidate of the temperance party p.iid at another he threw.the weight of his mighty infia ecc& in favor of the Greenbackars. At last, however, it is hoped that he has gone into camp with hi? friends and they are welcome to him. Ta, ta, MoCarthy. No more trill your sweet voice and sage counsel be heard and felt within the fields of the dear old party, where every Irishman, true to himself and to his friends, is to be found. Fare thee well, and if forever, still forever fare thee well,—ta, ta. Michael S. Bubns. Foliowiny Hubbard's Example. (3poeial Correspoadence of the Globe.) Montevideo, Oct. —J. W. Arctander, whom rumor says is to have the next vacant judgeship in this state, spoke here last Tuesday evening in the interests of Governor Hubbard (probably paying thereby,f or tha expected promotion). Arc tander in his 3pee2h said Governor Hub bard was entitled to our support because he smashed the rings in this state, espe cially the Windom ring. Now, I am a Wiadommanand am very glad to learn that Hubbatd though seemingly quiescent* took an active part in ds fe?,t Mr. Win do:n' ©lection and overthrowing the decis ian of th© party caucus. Since he opposed Windom I stand ready to oppose him, and since he sanctioned bolting the nominee of the caucus, I feel as if I had the right to bolt his nomination, especially eiaoo the convention that nominated him and was controlled in hia interests refused to rebuke the caucus bolters. Col. Hicks, of Minneapolis, said in that convention that it was a dangerous precedent,and now tinoe we ha\e found that Windom was knifed in the drrk by Hubbard, I am that thousands of Mr. Windom's friends will follow my example and decline to vote for Habbard. W. M. I'illmore County Solid for the Democratic Candidate. To the Editor of tho Globe: Abbxdahl, Oct. 24.—"A. 8. B.s" letter from Norway (this county) which appearad in last Saturday's Globe was a true re port of the political outlook in that strong Republican precinct. The writer is well acquainted with your Norway correspond ent and knows him to be one of the sound est and mo3t influential Norwegians in southern Minnesota, hence it looks very ridiculous to see Republican smut slinger3 denying the genuineness of yomr Scandinavian correspondents who dare support Mr. Biermann. Is it criminal for a Norwegian to openly avow his preference for a true, talented, aid honorable man instead of Hubbard— "a child of circumstances"—who is recog nized as one of the ringleaders of the cor rupt wheat ring of this state, as well as chief advi36r of the state prison ring. Is it criminal to cry down a fraud? No, give U3 a change. The Norwegians of this town will do their utmost to place Mr. Biermann in the executive chair. The opposition read the handwriting on the wall: Hubbard mast go. Yours. J. J. Ttie Iriili. Stand by Biermann. [Special Correspondence to the Globe.] High Fobest, Oim-tod oounty, Minn., Oct. 27.—The Pioneer Press comes to hand to-day with an article in it from a fellow named McCarty, who assumes to be an Irishman, and calls upon Irishmen to de sert Mr. Biermann because he is not an Irinhman. I have only to say that the Irishman who heeds him is a fool. Why, thtra are between 700 and 800 of us Irish men in this county; we all know Adolf Biermann and we all swear by him. We never had a better friend in the county. He was always with us in heart and soul, yes, and pocketbook, when we had a church to build or the distress of the poor to be relieved. . Father O'Gorman used -■ to tell us when he was here that Sir. Bierrnanu was a Wetter Irishman than ourselves and if this should meet his eye at Fariban't ho vill bcr me witness to its truth. The divil bother such spalpeens as McCurty, for nobody but a spalpeen wou'd try to put a decent Irishman ia the light of betraying his best friend. Wait till November, and we Irishmen of Olmsted county will prove our devotion, ■ and if ever McOarty is caught in this vicinity, we'll 8ou c him in a horse pond. MINNESOTA NEWS.

H., and Sheriff Hutchins is now bringing him back. His crime was one of the most revolting ever committed in this county. On Sunday night, April 16, 1882, he acoompanied Stella Andrews home from tha Barritt church. Her pa rents returned somewhat later and were horrified when they came upon the prostrate and apparently lifeless body of their daughter, just inside the door of the farmhouse. Twenty-two gaping wounds were oounted upon her person, and on her head was discovered a dreadful imprint. A battered hat and knife, v-^rh which the butchery had been perform were found outside the door. All tho surroundings were covered with clotted gore, and on her face traces of the bloody bands of the as sassin were discerned. One of the girl's palms was cut wide open by grasping the knife in a vain attempt to save herself. For a year 3ha had keen keeping Sullivan's company, and he had made proposals of marriage. Tha to^vn of Burritt was in the wildest excitement over the affair, and had the brute been caught his neck would surely have been encircled. As it wap, however, he was not captured until tho morning of tho li)th, when he was found in tha hay mow of Marshall Potter. He had laid in the hay three days without a mouthful or food and was half crazed with th-3 fear ot discovery and punishment.

Sullivan would not tell why he had committed the assault, and in fact re fused to talk at all. Tho injured girl re covered in a measure but to this day is not the same person she was.

Thuugu sought high and low and a substantial re ward wus offered, ho had not been heard from until this week when word was re ceived of his capture. TBTING TO ETEAL THE FAT WOMAN.
