Eugene Lutsell came in after Porter had been put out and asked who that ugly fellow was outside the door, and witness piayed pool with him; he and Jim Shannon were ai the table when Porter jumped into the saloon and shot at him saying "You son of a , Lave got you now." Never saw the witness before or had any trouble with him; don't remember about a watch being laid on a table or corner of the pool table the last time Porter came in or before.

POP BOTTLES VS. BEER GLASSES. It Was a (So-As-You-l'lease Fiirht, But the. Forced Payment of $20' Each. No One Lucky Enough to Get off With Only a Reprimand— Clubbing Case Con tinued Till To-Day. The famous battle of the pop bottle versus the beer glass, with a couple of cracked pates thrown in. was ventilated in the police court yesterday to a large and admiring audience. The cracked heads were especial objects of admiration, so beautlfnlly were they fres coed. The contestants were Ben Vote!, a tall muscular young fellow, whoso face looked as if it had tackled a claw-hammer, and a verdant Teuton named A. Kahler. The latter came into court with bis head done up in a pillow case, which Mr Wilde, the counsel for Votel, said was worn merely as a sham, and to excite sympathy. The court took no notice of the pun but call ed as a witness a fat Jjoy named Albert. The latter is a beer jerker in the saloon where the row took place, and when he got into the high chair his chubby legs looked like a couple of stuffed sausages. He looked the picture of the fat boy in Davy Coppertield, and one could almost hear him say "a trifle more of the weal pie, please." He testified that Volet had barely tapped him with an umbrelia, on seeing ' which Kahler tackled the former, after which the beer glasses and pop bottles commenced to fly. Kaliler made a funny witness and the bailiff had to sit down on him several times to keep him from boiling over. Votel testified that on entering the saloon Albert had smiled a sickly smile, and be had touched him with the umbrella to get him into a good humor. Then Kahler knocked him into a pile of bottles and tryed to gouge his eyes out. After gaining his feet lie grabbed a beer glass and let him have it. The court said it was a free fight and they were fined $20 each. John Frett is one of the fellows who is mean enough to steal the drapery from the damsel on the dome of the capital if given a chance. He made a sneak on the coat room at the state capitol, and was about to make off with a couple of ulsters when nabbed. When Gen. Shields wcut-to arrest him he said that he would like to 'see any blank copper take him if he only had his gun. The court said thirty days would do him good and his beautiful black moustache is no more, for it was sheared by the workhouse barber. Hans Tennison and Mrs. Johanna Gustav son had a little racket, and Hans was up for disorderly. Johanna testified that he had threatened to put a rope around her house and pul! it into the river, while Haas swore that the giddy old girl had entered bis house and had tried to force him to make love to her. He was fined ten bills. John Barney was up for pulling the auric ular of a long-cared boy named John Ziuda. He said he wanted to chastise the kid aud it cost him five bills. • The bastardy case of John Lawrence was continued until next week, aud the case of Baker, the young fellow who was clubbed so brutally by special officer Ryan, was again continued until to-day. LATTIMER'S RETURN. An Interview with the Unfortunate Young 1 Man. Detective John O'Connor arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from William sport, Pa., having in custody Win C. Lattimer, the absconding traveling salesman for the liquor house of Perkins, Lyons <fc Co. It will be recalled that Lattimer skipped out about two months ago with about $1,500 of the firm's money which he was entrusted to collect while, on the road, lit: fled to Wiliiarasport, taking with him his bride, and was arrested in that city labt Saturday. The latter also returned with ti:# parly and the unfortunate lady is suffering from illness caused by the shock of her husband's arrest. Lattimer was seen by a Globe reporter in the county jail, and was found both talkative and affable. He is a young man of pleasing address, being fully six feet tall, finely pro portioned, with blue eyes, a blonde mous tache, and frank, open countenance. He was faultlessly dressed, and has the bearing of a perfect gentlemen. When questioned as to his escapade, he said that the papers had done him great injustice by dragging bis private affairs, haviug no connection with the case, before the public. lie said that he had taken the money, that it was the first time he had done anything wronir In his life and that he was sorry for it. When he started to make his last trip, he said, he did not possess but enough of the firm"* money to. pay expenses. After getting on the road he been led into the affair by cir cumstances. On being questioned as to what circumstances led him to take the money he said that this information he was only willing to impart to the firm. Through out the conversation he was especially solici tous that nothing be said that might hurt the feelings of his wife. He will probably be ar raigned in the police court to-day.

Yesterday John Frett called at the Globe office to compliment the city editor upon having learned to spell his came correctly, (the daily papers invarialy misspelling it), and saw to convey tbe information that he was not a common sneak thief. To do the amende honorable it should be remarked that our John Frett was once a member of tbe city police force, was an old soldier and wears the G. A.

The regular quarterly meeting of toe board of managers of the Society for Relief of the Poor was held Tuesday, the 21st inst., at 3 p. m., in the ladies' parlor of No. 141 East Ninth- street, J. D. Ludden, Esq., in the chair. Present: W. L. Wilson, E. M. Hal lowell, R. Hall and Mesdamcs G. M. Sawyer, J. 11. Murphy, R. Hall, F. Hans and S. B. BeaJa, A letter was. received from Mrs. C. G.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board of' Managers; _ ' The nvruberof applications for the quar ter just ended is 199, this being 104 more than for the corresponding quarter of last year, and of these sixty-one, less than one third, were Catholics. The relief afforded has been as follows: By clothing to families or individuals, < 67 cases, 307 pieces. By half fare charity permits on railroads and steamboats, 29 cases, saving £203.01. By orders obtained from city board of con trol, 18 cases. By lunch tickets at Forney's Temperance House. 86 cases. By nights' lodging, 38 cases. By donations of wood, 8 cases. By medical attendance and medicine, 5 cases. By orders for groceries, 7 cases. By help to pay rent, 2 cases. By help to get stoves, 2 coses. By permits obtained, to city hospital, 3 cases. By permit obtained to St. Luke's hospital, 1 case. By permits obtained to Home for the Friendless, 6 cases. By permits obtained to Protestant Orphan asylum, 3 cases. By help to bury children, 2 cases. By help to find homes for children in pri vate families, 3 cases. By help to find employment, 20 eases. ■ The estimated amount of material aid af forded which docs not appear on the treasu rer's book is $377.71. Warm clothing of all kinds for boys and girls of all ages, especially shoes and stock ings, is now greatly needed, for our supply is exceedingly small, considering, the near approach of winter, and applications are al ready increasingly numerous and urgent. The Woman's Industrial Society and Work exchange, which at our last quarterly meet ing had just closed for the summer, after j pleasantly occupying a room in our building for nearly two years, concluded it necessary for the success of its work to be more in the thick of business, and has left us and opened quarters at 138 East Seventh street, a change which, in a business point of view, we are glad to know, is proving for their advantage. The regular weekly meetings of the Ladies' Auxiliary and the Industrial school also sus pended during the summer, have recently been resumed, and the Kitchen Garden company, we are informed, expects soon to resume. Every Monday evening during the summer the Young Women's Christian Temperance ! union has met and entertained the newsboys ; and bootblacks in the hall above, where also three lodges of Good Templars and an as bociation of woodworkers have gathered four nights a *eek, leaving the ball unused only i Saturday and Sunday nights. . In conclusion I wish to call the attention of the board to the increasing frequency with wHlch the secretary is solicited to afford relief by furnishing home and employment to homeless and vagrant boys and girls. Some are not criminals yet, nor strictly speaking incorrigible, and are not therefore according to law, perhaps, fit subjects for the reform school. And where they are actually criminals, and incorrigible, it seems that their criminality and incorrigibility must come to be of an aggravated character before any commitment or even a hearing and atriul with reference to a commitment to the re form school can be secured. There is almost an impossibility therefore of doing anything effective for their relief or their salvation. If they are not incorrigibly bad, they are ter ribly exposed and are goini? to the bad very fast. Few are the desirable homes that will from charity receive a vagrant boy or girl, who is already partially corrupted. What shall be done with such cases 1 Is there not need of a new institution in St. Paul, not for St. Paul alone, but for the state, a state institution, in fact, to receive such cases and deal with them Homeless and vagrant children are found all over the i state, and they are constantly drifting into St. Paul from all quarters, from other states as well as our own. If the difficulties and delays in the wiy of getting such children committed to the Reform school beirin to be a-* great elsewhere in the state as they are here in St. Paul, allowing, as we have, such a case as August Babel, just arrc6tcd for the Menominec burglary, to educate himself for his last crime rizht here in our midst by years of idleness, brazen faced beggary, ly ing and theft, and never get into the Reform school. it would seem that the want of a new institution must be general (iv.«r the state, and not simply a want of our city. A new j institution or new rules of commitment to I the Reform school, and a new born willing | ness on the part of the officers of the law to prosecute and commit would seem to be the | alternative, and would seem to be indispen sable in order to arrest a rapidly growing evil and arrest a deadly peril which threatens us from our homeless an 1 vagrant boys and girls. Respectfully submitted, R. Hall, Secretary Relief Society. GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY To-nigfht at the Corner of University and Western Avenues.

"The Paper Car nival," all who attended will remember it for ; many days. Miss Lillie Morton's costume was made of Globe newspapers, and the charming young lady we think did ample justice to herself and the newspaper she bad , chosen. On the whole we believe that Mr. Dajtots is neglecting nothing which will min i • ister to the pleasure and comfort of bis guests.

').■■' General Passenger Agent Percival Lowell, of the Burlington, has issued the following notice to the various Western roads inter ested in the Missouri river passenger traffic: •'To preserve our position with eastern con nections, as taken in joint telegram of Sep tember 12, 18S4, and to do justice to such of our connections as have no route through Chicago or prefer scudiug their Missouri river business through Peoria, we have deter mined, commencing October 21, to make the rates the same out of Peoria as out of Chicago by selling tickets to the Missouri river in our own office at rates prevailing in Chicago." This action on the part of the Burlington, which reduces the rate from Pc- I oria to $1 to Missouri river points, has caused much bad blood among the Burlington's com petitors, and it is quite certain that it will lead to a similar reduction from all interior connecting points with eastern lines by the other Missouri river lines. No steps have yet been taken to bring an end to the pres ent conflict, and the indications are that it will be of long duration. Decorah, Rochester mid lied River Itnil «••«?/ Company.
