The action of the Dakota Democrats in agreeing to bury their factional feuds and to come together at the Aberdeen conven tion in September in a spirit of harmony and with a purpose to solidify the party in the territory, was not only commendable conduct, but it is an example that the Democrats of Minnesota might follow with' benefit to themselves and promote the public welfare. There are pecul iar reasons why the Democracy of Dakota should be harmonious, and the leaders of the party in the territory recog nize that fact, and. like sensible men. have determined that harmony shall prevail. The leaders of the territorial factions have taught a lesson of usefulness and devotion to the party's Interest which the factional leaders of the Minnesota Democracy might study profitably. While there are urgent reasons why harmony should prevail in the Democratic ranks in Dakota, they are no less urgent iv Minnesota. Why there should be factions in the party in this state is a mystery that no . one can explain, It is reasonable to expect rivalries between am bitious political leaders, and jealousies be tween ofllceseekers, but there is no reason why these dissensions should descend to the rank and lile of the party. The great mass of the Democratic voters care nothing about the ambitions of aspiring individuals. They are actuated by a principle which rises superior .to men. , Therefore when a Democratic state convention is held in this state we expect to see it made up of delegates who will imitate the example of their Dakota brethren, and will crush out all factional spirit. The man whose sel fishness stands in the way of the harmony of his party will be regarded as a traitor to Democratic principles and will be spewed out. THE L.AW OF LOVE. Whether Mr. Gladstone succeeds in the great political light he is now making, or not, the sentiment of the speech lie made at Liverpool will live forever to aid liberty in the cause of enlightening the world. It was a plea for the supremacy of the law ot love, which is just as essential in the suc cessful government of nations as it is in individual experience. Liverpool is Mr. Gladstone's birthplace, and when he came back to the spot where his eyes had for the first time beheld the light, the recol lections of the seventy-six eventful years which have crowned his illustrious career rushed upon him and he spoke as an in spired man. Under that inspiration he saw that England had committed a great sin in attempting to make a Poland of Ire land, aud he pleaded for home rule with an eloquence that has never characterized any of his former speeches, as great as many of them were. BOYCOTTING A CHIME. The judicial decision which declares that boycotting is a conspiracy, and is punisha ble by imprisonment in the penitentiary, will have the effect of stamping out an in iquitious system that had grown into dan gerous proportions. In rendering this de cision in the New \ork cases, the boy cotters were sentenced to terms in the penitentiary ranging from one to four years. Judge Baurett held to the opinion that boycotting was noth ing short of blackmailing. In con sideration of the fact that the offend ers were misguided workingmen who had been enticed into tin's crime by unscrupu lous leaders, the court did not intlict the full penalty of the law, and let them off as lightly as he thought, would satisfy the de mands of justice. The decision will be sus tained by an enlightened public sentiment. Now that boycotting is declared to be a crime, the courts should not stop with an infliction of the penalties of the law upon the poor, ignorant offenders who were hardly capable of discriminating between right and wrong, but they should also pros ecute the managers of great corporations who instituted the system of boycotting by establishing their black lists. Let every boycotter, whether in high station or in low degree, be placed on an equality and justice be meted out to them with an impartial hand. THE AVELLS-FARGO EVICTED. Tiie decision of the Oregon district court evicts tlie Wells-Fargo Express company from the Northern Pacilic road. The Wei is -Fargo company, assuming that the Northern Pacific llailway company, as a common carrier, was compelled to transport their express matter, established their ex press line on that road. The Northern Pacific, having an express line of its own, contended that its duties as a common car rier did not compel it to sacrifice its own business to accommodate a rival concern. Upon this issue the case was made up and carried into court. The decision is favora ble to the Northern Pacific and will shut the Wells-Fargo company off from that line unless an appeal be taken and the de cision reversed by the supreme court, BE EASY ON THE GRADUATES- The universal sneers at the ambitions aud inexperience of the new crop of graduates should cease. Youth loses its illusions soon enough and there is no reason why the short breathing time al lowed before the hard knocks begin to come should be rendered less pleasant by the mockery of those who per haps at the same time look back and sigh at the remembrance of airy castle building they themselves per formed. The graduates will tind it out soon enough for themselves that their way is not going to be strewn with roses, but there is no good done in forcing that knowledge! upon tlipm before it Is actually :i(v 'i-ssary. If it were not for the confi <ii-i.«i- aiiii iMieitry of youth, the enthusiasm s.uitftitis and lends on to noble eu deavor, many of the great achievements in literature and science which now delight and benefit the world ■would never have been accomplished. Youth ful ambition may ha at times extravagant and graduation addresses may indicate all too plainly the crudity in thought and expression arising from imma turity and lafek of experience, but neither, rigidly newed, is a fit subject for ridicule. It * . necessary that the ranks of the worn out and discouraged workers should be re cruited from those who as yet possess "a heart for any fate." Their time of disap pointment should not be anticipated. The world would be a dreary old place indeed if we were prevented from dreaming our rose-colored dreams and building our cas tles in Spain. And nnne know this better than those whose graduation days, if they were fortunate enough to have any, are concealed in the haze of a dim past. DICKERING COMMISSIONERS, If the railroad commissioners expect to reconcile the people of this state to their discrimination in favor of one railway com pany as against others, upon the plea that "it was done in the public interest, then the railroad commissioners will be awfully mistaken, it is the duty of the railroad commissioners to fix rates and to enforce them, not to be making compro mises with this or that railroad com pany. If it is right that the three-cent-a-mile passenger rate shall be applied to the Manitoba line only where round trip tickets are sold then the other railroad companies are entitled to the same indulgence. If the other railroads are compelled to sell tickets at three cents a mile one way then it is right that the Manitoba shall be required to do the same thing. Equity is equity and law is law. If the intention of the railroad and ware house law is to protect the public from unjust . discriminations by the railroads then the railroad companies ought to be entitled to the same protection from un just discriminations .by the railroad com missioners. It is a poor rule that won't work both wayß. The claim that reductions in freight rates on the -iuuitoba line have been secured in consideration that the three-cent rate shall be enforced only on round trip tickets on that line, may be true, yet it does not absolve the railroad commissioners from the offense of having violated the law and a disregard of their duties under the law. If the Manitoba, or any other line, is willing to reduce freight rates as a result of a barter or dicker with the railroad com missioners then it. ought to be compelled to reduce its rates without any considera tion. If the reduction is proper it is the duty of the commissioners to require it. If it is not proper the commissioners have no authority to secure it by a special bargain or contract. The law doesn't contemplate that the railroad commissioners shall be converted into a body of freight and pas senger rate brokers. The people are not to be deceived in this matter and the commis sioners may as well understand in the be ginning that they are expected to perform their duty, their whole duty and nothing else but their duty as it is laid down in the plain letter of the law. On Mondat the St. Paul lacrosse team will meet the New York club in a contest for the ehampionsnip of the Uuited States. It goes against St. Paul's hospitable nature to ad minister visitors from sucb a distance a thorough drubbing 1 , but perhaps the New Yorkers may obtain consolation from the suggestion that it will be given simply in a Pickwickian sense. Some Dakota town 9 base their claims to pre-eminence upon the amount of wheat raised in their immediate territory, the num ber of churches they possess, etc., but Dick enson, Stark county, according to its irrepres sible ''boomer,'* Land Agent Lawrence, proudly rests its claim to fame on having a street upon which are raised more children than any town in the territory ■ can produce. The New York Sun insinuates that Samuel J. Tilden should not be put out of the pub lic mind against the time when it will be nec fssary to nominate another Democratic presidential candidate. Mr. TiiiDEN is yet. and has been for a number of years, worth a good many dead men — quite a number of living ones, too. S3| - -•r The Globe begs to express Its warm appre ciation of the many kind words said by its territorial friends regarding its Dakota edi tion. It, however, does not desire to appear unduly conscious of so much praise. The Globe has simply done its duty in lecogniz ing Dakota's importance. The will of the Chicago millionaire, Tut hill King, was set aside by the amicable agreement of the heirs.

Work has begun in earnest upon the St. Paul stock yards, and if our Western friends will possess their souls In patience for a little time longer, they will find a market nearer home able to give Chicago points and discount her. >.l. ♦ «•■ The races continue to attract merited at tention, but it should be observed that they sustain the reputation which the Twin Cities have always maintained, of doing well any thing they undertake. The St. Paul base ball club should remem ber when It goes out to meet Duluth this aft ernoon that the eyes o£ a good many thou sand people are upon it, and that Duluth's pride needs chastening. — — —^»— -^-i Omaha is crying loudly for increased police protection.

Since i-ain ha 9 fallen and the crop pros pects are good, Dakotians feel that their cele bration of the glorious Fourth ur fifth has this year a special fitness and significance. With two days on which to celebrate "the glorious," a regatta and a circus, it would seem that this year the Minnesota small boy is favored beyond his kind. This is the time that the youthful pocket bulges with concealed flre-crsckers, and the flre department in consequence exercises in creased vigilance. People of nervous temperament and quite loving dispositions will 'find it more conven ient to celebrate out at the lakes. Perhaps the heat which is oppressing tis now was left over from Wednesday's confer ence. Select Democratic Timber. Montevideo Leader. It is said that many of the supporting tim bers in the state capitol are wormy and badly affected with dry-rot. The same is also true with much of the political timber throughout tho state that is offered for sacrifice at the coming election. We hope that the people — the true Inspectors — will reject every piece of that character, and select only that which is "all oak" and sound to the core. Survived Their l iteluluefii Fairmont Herald.

"There is one peculiarity of visitors in a strange city," remarked a traveler, "that I 1 2 ? ap---3|£{jjy?s have never been able to ac count for satisfactorily to myself, nor hare I been able to obtain the desired in formation when older and more experienced persons have been appealed to. "I refer to the habit that strangers have, when being driven about the city, of asking the names of the resi dents of the different houses along the way. Let a car riage load of perfect stran gers start through the resi dence portion of St. Paul, or any other city,and some member of the party will begin, as soon as the first attractive home appears in sight, to ask the name of the dweller therein. ' ■ ■ ' ■ ' *** . "It does not make the least bit of difference whether the sightseers know a living soul in the city or not, they go through the same series of questions. Nine chances out of ten they will not remember the name until the next residence is reached, but that fact does not depress them in the . least, or prevent them from from asking a similar question as to the ownership of the many houses that are passed in the course of the drive. "Now in Washington, where men reside that have a nationnl reputation, the query is most natural, but in other places I never could quite understand it. Yet it is a fact, for I have gone through with it myself a hundred times. The most companionable man or wo man on the first drive of a stranger through a city ie he or she who knows most about the residents, their financial standing, family skeletons and how they made their money." ! *** .It is not an uncommon sight in any of the billiard saloons of St. Paul to see one or more of the nicest young men of the town engaged in playing pool.or billiards, but generally the former, with the hired attendant of the room. It is an unusual occurrence in Eastern and Southern cities, so unus ual in fact that strangers from these localities in St. Paul never fail to comment on the sight presented, when informed that the outside players are what they seem to be, young gentlemen of acknowledged standing. Of course there is no law on the statute books that will prevent a gentleman from playing pool or taking a drink with a gentle man of. color, if agreeable to the two most Interested parties, but it certainly would be unusual. The mixed pool-playing is doubt less due to the devotion of the young men to the game. Not finding frienda to play with, they take in the attendant to make up the game. *** "Never use the word 'dandy,' my child," exclaimed a father to his daughter, who had just returned from a boarding school, where Bhe had graduated first iv her class, in slang. "Never?" asked the white-robed girl. "Not as an adjective or explanatory word. Never say a dandy horse, or a dandy ele phant." "Well," 6aid the slang graduate, "There Is nothing dizzy about daud(y)elion, is there?" The Onlooker. A Rrief Sermon on Aujjer. From the Baltimore Baptist. A brother got furiously mad with us some time ago. He Rtormed like a volcano and his wrath was at white heat. He fell upon us and told with vigorous indignation how bad he thought we were. We enjoyed it. We al ways respect an honestly mad man. His wrath is a token of his sincerity. There was something so charming in his realness and candor that we almost forgot that we were the target at which his blows were directed. When be finished we simply explained to him how it all haspened. Tne storm-cloud broke and the genial sunlight was on his brow again. If we must get angry let us do it hotly and courageously; let us blaze like a furnace and go for the object of our anger at once. In this way we may finish up the business in a single day and the setting sun will not see the wrath cloud on our brow. »i_ ■ Rhode Island' Hatred of Whisky. Buffalo Express.

Another meeting was held in the evening, and it was decided, notwithstanding Mr. Vilas' failure to an swer to inquiry, to send a committee of two to Washington for the purpose indicated. The final action of the brotherhood will de pend on the reply the postmaster general makes to this committee. The committee will go to Washington some time next week. Dying: Dynamite Inventor. Cincinnati, 0., July William Hanes, widely known throughout the country as the inventor and manufacturer of dynamite, is lying very ill at his home in Covington, Ky., and death is momentarily expected. It is said that he has some -$40,000 worth of bombs hid den on the banks of the Mississippi between Yicksburg and Memphis. He has furnished them to several foreign govern ments, and was negotiating with Greece during the recent war excitement there. Lately he said that tlon. John G.

Large Sporting Stables and Several Valuable Horses Burned Near Cleveland. Fire in a Mine at Sbenandoab, Pa. --Losses by Flood in Virginia. Ten Persons Killed. Morristown. N. J., July 2. — A terrible explosion took place at 7:30 o'clock at the Atlantic Giant Powder works, situated be tween McCoinsville and Drakesville, IS". J., resulting in the loss of ten lives. The concussion was felt distinctly for twenty miles around, aud glass in houses five miles away was shattered. The cause of the ex plosion will probably never be known. A double force of men began work at 7 a. m. to-day, so that operations could be sus pended from Saturday until Tuesday. The explosion occurred in the mixing room. The building was blown into splinters, and fragments of the bodies of the workmen were picked up 500 feet from the scene. Some pieces were taken from the branches of trees many miles away. An immense excavation was made where the building stood, aud devastation is apparent for 500 feet in every direction. The following are the names of those killed: CHARLES JACKSON. JOSEPH N. KINNER. GEORGE AMMERMATJ. GEORGE HANDBILL. THEODGRE BRYAN. CHARLES WTLLMOR. GEORGE KING. JOHN SMITH. Two brothers named LAUBACH. Killed by the Cars. Bostox, July 2. — John Measures and his wife and two children, aged 7 and 10 years, of Stoneham. driving in a buggy are instantly killed at the Albion street crossing of the Boston & Maine railroad at 8:50 to night, being struck by an express train. The vehicle was smashed into a hundred pieces. Horses Burned. Cleveland, 0., July 2.— The breed ing farm of C. F. Emory, nine miles south of Cleveland was visited by fire this after noon. A large barn valued at §15,000 and a smaller one worth 53, 500 were en tirely consumed. Hay and grain, valued at $3,500 were also burned. The barn contained thirty-four tine horses at the time but all were saved except four. The burned horses were Necromancer, a bay colt by Nugget worth $1,000, the property of Mr. Emery; a two-year-old colt, by Nugget, valued at $800 and owned by Dr. Jones of Medina, O.; a three-year-old filley, by Nugget, valued at $i,OOO and owned by Mr. Whitney of Ebsl Saginaw, Mich., and a black mare, the property of Wilson Chisolm of this city. The barns were insured for $10,000. Fire in a Mine. Shenakdoah, Pa., July 2.— When the miners employed at the Knickerbocker colliery "went to work this morning a large volume of smoke was seen issuing from the mouth of the slope which prevented their entrance. The mine was then en tered by another entrance, and the engiue-house at the foot of the slope was discovered to be in flames. Work was suspended by the colliery, and all the hands that could be sent down were put to work to extinguish the flames, which by that time had spread to the coal, and threatened the destruction of the colliery. All the force that can be concentrated on the work is now fighting the flames, with hopes of finally suppressing them. The origin of the fire is not known. Floods in Virginia. Kichmond, Va., July 2.— The heavy rainfall in the past forty-eijrht hours has caused a damaging rise in all the streams in this section of the state. James river at this point is ten feet above high water mark, and all the wharves in the lower part of the city are submerged, the water being about two feet deep in lower Main street, and still rising. No apprehension is felt, however, cf a serious freshet. At Columbia, five miles above Richmond, the water is twenty-two and one-half feet above low water mark and rising slowly. Several trestles on the Kichmond & Alle eheny railroad have been washed away, causing a temporary suspension of travel. No Northern mails have been received here this afternoon or to-night, nor have any gone North. Washouts on the .Richmond & Danville railroad have also stopped traf fic over that line. The rainfall in Rich mond in the last forty-eight hours was 2.75 inches. Six Persons Injured. Camdex, N. J., July 2. — A freight train ran into the rear of the Trenton accommo dation near Fish House station yesterday. Engineer* Huntley of the freight was cut and bruised, besides having an arm broken. The passengers injured were: Mrs. Mary G. Holmes, Philadelphia, shoul der broken; Mrs. Cushman of Burlington, arm injured; Mr. Plecht of Palmyra, slight cuts; Charles Cornelius of Philadelphia, foot crushed; Mrs. M. Keating of Philadel phia had her ankle spainedin jumping from the train. Fatal Oas Explosion. Special to the Globe. Caxtox, 0., July 2. — An explosion of natural gas took place in the new Sheffield coal shaft at Paul's station near here, this morning at a depth of 200 feet. Thomas Morgan, a miner, was fatally burned, and J. L. Davis aud William Lloyd, fellow workmen, were seriously burned. Morgan can live but a few hours and leaves a large family. A SECRET WEDDING. Which Has Resulted in Brineinc a Claimant to an Estate. Special to the Globe. Johnstowx, N. T., July 2. — In 1858 Dr. John Life, father of Margaret Life, sued Dr. Peter O. Eisenlord for the seduc tion of his daughter, and secured a verdict ofSIO.OOO. The case was carried to the court of appeals, and after seven years judgment was rendered against Eisenlord for about $2,000 damages and costs. Last spring Dr. Eisenlord died and his alleged son, John Peter Eisenlord, came East and began an action to get possession of the Eisenlord estate, amounting to 850,000, which was in possession of the direct heirs. The plaintiff asserts that in June, 1857, Dr. Eisenlord and Miss Life appeared before Jonathan Mother of St. Johnsville, justice of the peace, and were secretly married. The justice promised to say nothing about the affair and no witnesses were present.his lips having remained sealed until the death of the doctor. After the midnight marriage the couple started for home, when the woman objected to going to her father's house, saying he had discovered her delicate condition and had threatened to shoot her betrayer. She said it would be unsafe for either of them to appear at her former home. The doctor angrily said: "Why in — did you not tell me that before?" and remarked, according to the testimony, that if her father wanted any way he would give him all the law he wanted, and if there was any shooting to be done, he could shoot, too. He abused her father and herself un til she told him she was sorry she had gone with him. He, with an oath, told her that if she did not want to stand by the mar riage she need not; it was not a valid one, there being no witness, an assertion which she believed. Sh« has never spoken of the marriage until in March, this year. Her son, the present claimant, was bore on Oct. 21, 1857. The old justice, bent with age, testified that the marriage took place, and, as there was no shaking his evidence, the case was decided in favor of the son this afternoon. Young Eisenlord made no claim for the property until eight months after the doctor's death, and when the es- { tate was nearly settled. The case has been j appealed. Boycotters sentenced. - New Yore, July 2. — The convicted boy cotters of Theiss, the prbpfietbr of a con cert garden, were arraigned in court to-day for sentence. Judge Barrett sentenced Paul Wiltzig and Henry fioldorf to . two years and ten months at hard labor; Michael Stroh and Julius Rosenberg to one year and | six months' imprisonment, and Daniel Danen hausery the most violent of any of the boy cotters, to three years and eight months in state prison. ST. LOUISAS HAPPY Because, Like New tork and Chi casro, She Has Corrupt Alderineli. - Special to the Globe. St. Louis, July 2. — St. Louis, not to be outdone by New York and Chicago, now comes to the front with her boodle aldermen. The press in . this city \ has charged that certain members of the house of delegates were recently bribed . into vot ing away valuable gas and railroad fran chises. Last week the Gould lines were granted a monopoly in the matter of an elevated railroad from the Iron Mountain branch. Although the editors had some proof of the bribery and were morally cer tain that ten of the twenty-six members had been bribed, the proofs were not of such a character as would secure a convic tion in a court of justice. An attack was made then in another direction, and the probabilities are that twelve of the mem bers will be indicted for perjury. The law regarding the qualifications of aldermen provides that they shall have paid the city and state taxes for at least two years before election and shall be tax-payers at the time of election. .In the oaths of oftice they must swear they are tax-payers or be disqualified. An exam ination of the records to-day shows that eight of the members never paid any taxes of any kind to the city of . St. Louis and never had anything to tax. The personal property of six does not average $500 'each and they have no realty or bohfls. • They have never paid taxes and are delinquent for small sums. Four members can do little more in a literary way than sign their own names. This is a part of the gang who have voted away monopoly, railroad and gas franchises, and who have been arraigned for drunkenness oh the floor of the house. The prosecuting attorney has submitted the matter to the grand jury. THE DRAINAUEOQUESTIOIV. Result off the Convention at Crook «tou— J. J. Hills Offer. Special to the Globe. Crookston, Minn., July 2.— The drain age convention to-day was more largely at tended and fully as harmonious as yester day. J. J. Hill of the Manitoba railway arrived on a special train and took a promi nent part in the proceeding. In reply to yesterday's speech of J. M. McOrew, who held that a topographical survey was un necessary and that sloughs could be drained and river channels opened witnout the aid of engineers, Mr. Hill said this was all nonsense. Nothing could be done without careful topograpical survey of the valley, and if an executive committee of good earnest men was ap pointed to do this work his cotnDany would guarantee to pay half of the expense, pro viding it did not exceed $10,000, and after their system was perfected would pay their share of the drainage in proportion to the acreage of their lands in the valley. After interesting speeches by Judge Kelso, Mr. Baker, professor of civil engineering for the Illinois state university, Col. Matte son, ex -consul general to India, J. F. Fan ning, hydraulic etgineer of the Minne apolis water power, and other prominent men of the state, resolutions were adopted of which the following is the substance: First That it is the sense of the conven tion and citizens of the valley that a thorough system of drainage is not only feasible but desirable from an economic standpoint. . Second That as a preliminary to the adop tion of such a system a careful topographical survey of the valley is first essential. Third — an executive committee con sisting of one delegate from each county in interest be appoiuted by the chair and three by J. J. Hill, said .committee to make all necessary sur veys and maps ana report a plan for the drainage of the valley not later than Dec. 5. at a convention to be called by the present chairman, half the money for said work to be raised by the counties in proportion to the acreage.

Chicago, July 2. — The board of direc tors of the chamber of commerce held a meeting yesterday afternoon to take action upon the refusal of the Chicago board of trade to pay its rent for the quarter ending June 30. The trouble grew out of a tiaw in the lease held by the board of trade on the old exchange hall in the chamber of commerce building. After vacating the hall, the directors of the board were anx .ious to dispose of the lease, as they were bound by it to pay $20,000 a year rent dur ing a period of ninety-nine years for property which was @of no value to them. President Wright discov ered that according to the wording of the lease, which was drawn up when the cham ber of commerce was a two-story building, the board of trade was entitled to all that portion of the building above, the first floor. On the advice of Judge Sydney Smith,: their attorney, the directors decided in Marcn last to pay no more rent until all the property mentioned in the lease was turned over to them. Leslie Carter, president of the chamber of commerce, presided at yes terday's meeting, which was unanimous in its denunciation of the board of trade's action.

New York, July 2.— World prints a long interview with James D. Fish, ex president of the Marine bank, and now in Auburn prison for his complicity in the well-remembered financial crashes affair. He tells the story as to how he got into the firm with Ferdinand Ward after going the round of his earlier connection with the Marine bank and of his having gained a position among representative business men. He first met Ward in the Marine bank where he had dropped in to see Mr. Calvin Green who had a desk in the bank. Later Green became paying teller of the bank and Ward married one of his daugh ters. In 18S1 when Green died Ward be came more intimate with Fish and he got assistance from him in his produce exchange enterprise. Fish tells how he met tliH Grants ultimately in connection with various schemes Ward was pushing among them. . Fish says he was greatly sur prised when Ward came to him one day and told him he was GOING INTO BUSINESS with Buck Grant and that he would be able to raise $100,000. lie never thought that Ward had or could get so much money. He did not see anything against his going into business with young Grant. Ward then th&lly prevailed on Fish to go in be cause they "wanted an older man in the firm" and he put up about $15,000 in cash besides a lot of collaterals Ward was then holding. Fish says: Soon after Garfleld's nomination Ward came to me and saitl the peneral wanted to go into the mm. He said he bad $50,000 that he would put in and talked about the advan tage of having him with us. While we were talking over tbe partnership business I jravo a little lunch in nay rooms over the bank, which Gen. Grant attended. Fish relates how Ward got out of an uncle all the money he had saved up by great economy, £20,000. He fished for it delicately and at last got it all. invested it in the firm and cleaned the uncle out. : A NOVEL DECISION, Which Involved the Liberty of a '.-';.-■.' Shameless Husband. Special to the Globe. Detroit, Mich., July James .Reagan was convicted of rape committed January 5, 1884, on Maggie Chapmau, Jerry Chap man's wife. At the time Eeagan was a farm laborer boarding at Chapman's house. He had, prior to January 5, worked in the Varney hotel at Kockwood, Jvhere Chap man's wife was employed at the same time, and the two were consequently much to gether. Reagan bestowed many attentions on Mrs. Chapman and escorted her to and from the public dance 3 frequently taking place in the neighbor hood. Her conduct at these dances with Reagan and other men was so im promper as to scandalize her friends. Mrs. Chapman married Jerry when she was 14, but under oath represented her age to the parson as 18, because she said she was in a delicate condition and had to be married. It was claimed that Jerry seduced the girl and had been compelled to marry her, and wanted a divorce. At any rate, he hired Reaean for $25 to seduce his wife. It was understood that when a preconcerted signal was given Jerry and Oscar Chapman, Jerry's brother, would rush into the room and denounce Mrs. Chapman. This pro gram was carried out, but RF.AGAX WENT TOO FAR. Not being able to seduce Mrs. Chapman he used force. Mrs. Chapman had them all arrested on the charge of rape Reagan was convicted, made a full confession and was sent to Jackson for five years. The case against Oscar Chapman was nolle prossed on account of lack of proof that he was concerned in the plot. Jerry was con victed of conspiracy to rape and sentenced for seven years. Chapman's case was taken to the supreme court on a writ of error, claiming substantially that Chapman may have bar gained with Reagan to seduce his wife, but did not lay any plans to have her outrased, and should not be held responsible for .Rea gan's independent crime. The act advised and the act committed were very different. Reagan himself acknowledged that he over stepped the bounds of his agreement with Jerry Chapman. Other reasons were given why Chapman's sentence should be re versed, but this was the main point raised, and evidently the one upon which the su preme court based its decision to-day order ing Chapman's release. The case is held to be one of the most remarkable in the annals of crime in this country or elsewhere. Suspected of Theft. Special totha Globe.
