Gov. ».ee and Parly Entertained at lie West— A Memorable Gather-* ing-. Yesterday afternoon P. B. Winston Rave a dinner party at the West in honor of '■ Gov. Lee. ol Virginia, and the distin- j guished gentlemen who accompany him. j Mr. Winston is a son of the. Old Dominion, j and has for a long time known and honored j Gen. Lee. He had invited several of the ! leading citizens of St. Paul and this city to : meet his guests, and the result was a company such as has never before been seen in this city— -the fraternal meeting of representative men of the grand- est of the Southern states with "the toilers of the North." The dinner was informal I . and almost impromptu, but tlie gentlemen were iv happy vein, and the toasts were j hearty expressions of kindly reeling be- tween the North and South of to-day— but there is no North and South to-day, except as there is an east and west, and it "was the prominence that was given: this I fact that made the banquet of yesterday memorable. The toasts were as fol- lows: "Our Guests," Mayor Ames; "The New South." Gov. Lee; "The Milling In- terests of Minneapolis." C. A. Pillsbury; "The Legal Fraternity," Capt. Coke; "The Twin Cities," P. 11. Kelly; "Pillsbury's Best," G. A. Pillsbruy; "liailroads of the Northwest," Charles Hatch; "Tobacco Facts," IV H. Mayo; "Poet, Author and Lawyer," Thomas Nelson Paige; "Godspeed Our Guests," A. T. Ankeny; "The Pleasures of Tobogganing," John P. Branch; "The Northwest as a Place lor Investments," Joseph Bryan; "Banking In- terests of Minneapolis," J. F. K. Foss; "The Minneapolis Board of Trade," Judge Atwa- ter. Capt Venable, of Baltimore, and Gilliam also made brief speeches and the happy time ended with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the company. The guests were: Gov. Fitz Hugh Lee, M. N. Gilliam, T. W. Pemberton, Capt. John A. Cope, Charles Watkins, Dr. George Holers. J. C. Branch, B. W. Branch. Joseph Bryan. T. Nelson Bay, J. L. Magee, W. E. Addison, It. I*. Atkinson, E. M. Moore, .1. T. Gray, K. M. Venable, F. A. Davenport and P. H. Mayo, of Virginia: M. B. Harrison, of Duluth: Peter Seims, J. J. Hill. P. H. Kelly. D. C. Shepherd, Frank Shepherd, P. Douan and Messrs.

W. Murray and W. O. Winston, of this city. Gov. Lee and party, with the gentlemen from St. Paul, came over in President Hill's private car and were met at the train by Mr. Winston, who had carriages in wait- ing, and a pleasant drive was taken over the city. Alter the banquet a few hours was spent in social intercourse, after which the guests returned.to St. Paul. Gov. Lee and party went to Duluth last night and will again visit the city on Thursday. SPORT IKG EVENTS. Col. IMeLauG-liiin Will Defend Ilia Title—Several Boxing- Matches Im minent. Col. McL aughlin, who has been chafing under the slurring remarks made by J. J. Benjamin in the Eastern papers, has de- cided to take up the gentleman's offer for a collar-and elbow match, as will be seen from the following communication: " To the Editor of the Globe. As the papers of late havo con- tamed considerable matter from J. J. Benjamin, of New York, which was not complimentary to me as a gentleman or i an athlete, and as I know that thousands of my friends and readers of the Globe are wait- ing to see the outcome, I wish to say to them that having tried every reasonable method to get rid of him honorably and remain at my post, aud failed, I have determined to face in. 1 have applied for leave of absence, have notified my old backer at Detroit, and at Gome time and place in the near future Mr. Benjamin will be required to make good be- fore the people what he has been giving to the press. J. H. McLaughlin. While Col. McLaughlin would much prefer to be left to his life as a railroader. he still meaus to defend the title of champion, and there is little doubt that a match will be arranged to take place in ' Minneapolis. The Sullivan- Cardiff meeting is still making a" great deal of talk in the sporting columns of Eastern papers. "Macon," in the Cincinnati Enquirer, has this to say: Before going further it may not be out of place to tell of Patsy Cardiff's only fight in the East. It took place at Johnny Clark's club-house in Philadelphia some two years ago, his antagonist being Denny Kelleher, the same man who knocked Frank Hearld out with one blow. Denny was as fat as a porpoise, and for the first two rounds he fought away from Cardiff. Then, by direc tion of Johnny Clark, who coached him, he made play and held his man as even as a die. Cardiff showed that he was the stronger man, but he was uot as clever with his bands as Kellehtr. Since then 1 learn that he has grown a good deal bigger but a very little bit cleverer. If he really believes that he has champion form he can get matches at once with McCaffrey. Kilrain or Oempsey. Mean- while it might not be a bad idea for him to tackle Pat Killen, who is out his way. If be can do Pat his reputation will be much higher than his srood luck with Sullivan made it. His "cracks" that he is making to the effect that Sullivan can't knock him out at all, and that next time they meet he will force the fighting from start to finish, are but the bom- bastic vaporinys of a man whoexpeeted to be "smothered," and by rare good fortune found himself unscathed. If he were sensible he would wear his honor meekly, and not make a wind-bag of himself. As it is, his conduct strongly reminds me of a jackass braying at a wounded lion. A ten-round match between Mart Fahey and Duncan C. McDonald has virtually ,**een decided on and will probably take place in Minneapolis at the Com .que. Jerry Murphy aud his friends state that Needham can get a match for the light- weight championship any time he \\ill come to Minneapolis or send a representa tive. A couple of sporting men aver that John L. Sullivan has succumbed to John Barley- corn again and was quite "lush" when he took the train for the East at St. Paul Mon- day night. The meeting of the Minneapolis Gun club was last evening adjourned until Tues- day night. THE RIO DISASTER.? The Now Noted Bra-cui;m Tel In' the First True story of st* Occurrence. Clarence H. Wells, the brakeman who was charged with the negligence resulting in the horrible disaster at East Bio last October, reached Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. He has been imprisoned ever 6ince the casualty, and has only been at liberty since his acquittal at Portage last week. The story of the terrible disaster is still fresh in the public mind, as well as the coroner's verdict holding Wells guilt}-, and his arrest and imprisonment,. His trial on % the cliarge of manslaughter, occurred last . week and resulted in his acquittal, the jury . having been out for only a few minutes. r - "The true story of the accident has never been printed, ' he said to a Globe reporter yesterday, "and if you want it,. I'll tell you just how it occurred. I was the victim picked out to bear the brunt, because I was a poor and friendless brakeman, but mv acquittal shows that on me. at least, the blame could not fall. The whole affair hinges on a dying switch, ■which Conductor Hankey made that night, and as it is against the Jaw and against the rules, the effort was made to hush it up. Everybody but me swore there was no fly made, but I told the truth and the jury be- lieved me. However, here's the story: "W<%left Milwaukee at 11:80 in the roominjwith a wild train. Conductor Han- key, made up of thirty- two loads and two empties. We reached Portage at 8 and should have left at 9:40, but No. 14 was an hour late, :so it was about 10:40 when we got away. We stalled on the bill at East Rio and Hankey split the' train, leaving me with seven cars and the caboose." He went up the hill and backed down on the siding, 1 and at the same time a wild train from the West came and headed in on us, taking the side track on the other side of the main track." Hankey came back and threw the switch, opening the main track to the siding, and our part of the train made a fly at the hind end to join the rest of the train. Han key was at the switch until the hind end cleared. This is the switch that caused the accident, as it remained open and wrecked the limited a half hour later. Hankey claimed that he hollered to me to put up the switch; but if he did, I didn't hear him. Frank Mullen, the head brakeman of the other train— Kitteridge's train didn't hear him, and the engineer of that train didn't hear, though both of them were closer than I was. Mullen was only four or five cars away at the time. I was some distance away and heard nothing. The only man who heard Hankey was Jackson, our mid dle brakeman, who was nearly twenty cars away from him. He could hear, with the wind blowing against him, what could not be heard by men less than quarter the dis tance. Yet Jackson, who swore at the trial he heard Hankey, told me • two days before the trial that he did not hear it. Well, the switch stayed open and the lim ited was wrecked. The jury evidently be lieved that Hankey did not say so, or if he did, that I did not hear him. "Another point is the fact that Rule 38 on our running card says conductors will be held responsible for the position of switches after using them; and Rule 39 says who ever turns a switch from the main track must see that it is re-set to the main track and locked. These rules, I think, settled the responsibility. Of course I felt mighty bad about the whole tiling, but felt entirely blameless. When the facts came out I got many friends, including an attorney, who volunteered to defend me^ and Sheriff E. G. Williams, of Columbia county, whose fam ily nursed me while I was sick in jail. Now I am going home to Owatonna, but I don't suppose that I could get work on any rail road now. The Milwaukee wouldn't even give me a pass back to Milwaukee, when Supt. Collins had promised it to me aud knew I was without a cent." THEY WILL INVESTIGATE. Dakota to Visit Minneapolis, and Then Enact drain Laws. The Market Record is authority tor the statement that a party of business men in Dakota has been made up to come to Min ueopolis to look into the system of handling wheat on the Minneapolis & Pacific road, with a view to legislation in Dakota that will compel railroads to provide means for handling grain at country stations without forcing it through private elevators. These gentlemen say if the railroads would in good faith set cars on side tracks.for farmers or others to load, there would be no necessity for compelling the roads to provide ware houses to handle it through. Some of the roads have notified their agents to distribute cars according to the amount of wheat the different elevator men have in their houses. For instance, if one man has an elevator containing 50,000 bushels and another with a small elevator that holds but 10,000 bush els, they both calling for cars to ship out their wheat, the one with the small house gets one car to the other's five cars. A farmer having his wheat in granary, they claim, eets no car, because his wheat is not yet offered at the station. With the aid of the railroad the man with the big house, they say, is able to monopolize the wheat business at such a station. The plan of the Minneapolis & Pacific of providing houses of its own seems to be regarded with much favor by farmers and grain men independ ent of elevator companies in Dakota. The party that is coming to investigate this method expects to get from it a plan for framing the bill they purpose putting through the Dakota legislature this winter. GRAND J TRY GOSSIPS. The Reformers Are After Bad Women and Blind £*i;rs. The grand jury still remains the all ab sorbing topic of conversation, and is dis cussed by nearly everybody. Yesterday morning a number of indictments were re turned, but all the persons named in them have not been arrested as yet. During the day there were present in the court room and in the halls a number of men, all try ing to find out if any of the keepers of houses of ill-fame had been indicted, and some of the schemes adopted to find out what the witnesses had said before the jury were amusing in the extreme. Witnesses in the case against Josephine Dillon, a sis ter of the notorious Lou Felter, charged with being a procuress, were called during the morning, and late in the afternoon it was announced by those in a position to know that she had been indicted on two counts. She was arrested some days ago, by Officer Ed Grace, who worked up the case, aud has been in confinement ever since. The children she tried to lead astray were in the court room during the day. and attracted considerable attention. When the case comes to trial sensational develop ments are promised in regard to the men in the case. The glorious Eighth ward, where, it is said, no saloons exist, and no "blind pigs" disturb the harmony by dismal grunts, is just now attracting the attention of the jury, and several indictments have been found against persons who sold liquor without a license. From the md ctments returned yesterday it would seem that druggists as well as "blind pig" keepers have been dispensing whisky to the thirsty at 10 and 15 cents per glass. It is said that more indictments will foliow. EXPOSITION DATES Not Vet Chanced-- Legislation at Washington— I' lie Outlook Fine. The special business before the board of directors of the Exposition yesterday was the consideration of the time for holding the next exhibition. The dates had been fixed at Aug. 31 to Oct. 15, but at the last meeting an effort was made to reconsider that action, and fix the time of opening a week earlier. Nothing was accomplished, and the matter was made a special order for yesterday. A committee representing the agricultural dealers of the Northwest was present and presented a petition asking that the Exposition be opened in time to have it in good running order during the state fair, because many of the people most interested in their goods would attend the fair, "and, of course, if the Exposition was open they would all come. J. P. McGaughey's letter, printed in yesterday's relative to the presence of the national assembly of the Knights of Labor in the city in October, and asking that the exposition be kept open until the 15th, as at present ordered, was read- and created a strong impression on the board. No quorum was present, and definite action was deferred until Friday at 11 o'clock, to - which time an adjournment was taken. It was developed, however, that all present favored having the exposition open as early, if not a few days earlier, than the state fair, and no one wanted it closed sooner than Oct. 8. E. A. Merrill, from the com mittee on legislation, said that the legisla tive committee, of the city council had agreed to recommend to the legislature a bill exempting the Exposition property from taxation, and one fixing the title to the grounds occupied in the Exposition associa tion. General Manager Palmer returned from Washington yesterday morning, and at the meeting of the board of directors he ex plained the present status of the legislation asked of congress regarding the Exposition. The bill tor admitting foreign goods, in tended solely for exhibition here, free Of duties will be reached this week and will be passed without doubt. The bill provides that if any goods imported shall be disposed of during the exposition, the duty on such articles must be paid the same as if regularly passed through the custom house. The joint resolution, permitting the heads of departments at Washington to loan exhibits to the exposition, provided a tend is given for their safe return, and no expense is incurred by such departments, may not go through, as it will receive the opposition of the member from the Louisville; district, because the. same privilege was refused the exposition '; at Louisville a few years ago. Concerning the prospects for securing interesting exhibits, Manager Palmer said yesterday: "While in Baltimore 1 secured four very attractive exhibits, of i great 4T. PAUL DAILY GLOBE.

An Interesting: and Spectacular Drama, Well Jut On. "Clio," Bartley Campbell's spectacular and romantic drama, began its engagement j ! at the Grand, last night, to an audience that I | jammed the upper part of the house and ; I well tilled the lower. The play, like all of I Bartley's, is filled with pretty and allitera ! live catch sentences, heroic to a high degree I and appealing forcibly to the high moral I sentiment which, strangely enough, abounds j most strongly in the gallery. But it is i quite a pretty and interesting play and romantic, as the bills say, beyond a doubt. It abounds in love, honor and jealousy, all put forth in Campbell's pretty platitudes. The idea is somewhat like "Lorle," except that it was an artist's dream, and this is the dream of a sculptor. Unlike "Lorle," there is much of the spectacular in "Clio." the beautiful statue being a chief feature. There is also somewhat of the ballet, intro ducing ten lithe-limbed, gauze clad cory phees, headed by Mile. Cornalba. "the world's great prima ballerina." The leading part of Fabian is well taken by John L. Burleigh, a man of fine figure and good stage presence, and possessing many of the elements of a fine actor. Miss Sybil Johnstone made an admirable "Lucia," though rather too heroic in voice and gesture, at times. In the love scenes she excelled, and in voice and figure re minded one of Mary Anderson in several ways. Miss Pauline Gaty as "Countess Ellis" was rather stilted, but otherwise good and the general cast was above the average throughout. The play passed off satisfactorily and with considerable ap plause, some of which was drawn out by the inconsistency of the court scene in France, "with Roman costumes. Taken throughout "Clio" is an interesting and at tractive play, and should continue to good business. It will run throughout the week. WE ARE E3RITHERS A. Third Annual urn*. Banquet of the -.-•j-/ Caledonian Club. The third annual Burns banquet of the Caledonian club atCurtiss hall last evening was a decidedly pleasant affair and was at tended by some 350 guests. The hall was artistically draped and presented a hand some appearance. A large United States flag covered almost ail of the north wall, and was flanked on either side by English and smaller American flags. A large, fine engraving of Robert Burns, framed in a heavy wreath of smilax, hung against the center of the large United States flag, which formed a magnificent background. The banquet was spread on tables in the large room, and was served by Dorner in a neat manner. The toasts were all appropriate and embodied the follow ing: Address of welcome, A. M. Cleri hew; "The Northwest," Hon. A. 11. McGill; "Robert Burns," A. T. McCurdy; "Auld Soctia," Robert Christie; "The Land of Our Adoption," D. T. Simpson; "Our Sister Societies," R. L. McGill; "The Lassies," Adam Hannah. The following sungs were sung: "Rantin' Rovin' Robin," Malcom McL. Geddes; "My Nannie's Awa," Mrs. Robert Fair weather; ".The. Land o' the Leal," A. E. Clerihew; "Auld Lang Syne," the audi ence. When Gov. McGill responded to the toast, "The Northwest," he remarked somewhat apologetically that while ho might appear calm he was in fact almost scared to death." I am something of a Scotchman myself," he said, "for it was only three generations ago that my ances tors were born in Scotland. I am an American now, but am proud of my an cestry. I honor yon for the love you all bear your native land." At the conclusion of the festivities in the banquet hall, the euests adjourned , to another room, where there was dancing until a late hour. . The Salesmen's Association. There was a meeting of the Salesmen's association last evening to make arrange ments for the banquet and ball to be given at the Nicollet house Tuesday evening, Fob. 1.

Russell, goes to St. Paul this morning to speak on Sunday and early closing. The various committees will meet Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'cl ock, to make final arrangements. Republican Campaign Expenses. It has been recently given out that the Republican county committee contemolated paying its debts. It is likely that the' pay master has not yet started on his rounds, as the firm of Gessaman & Murphy yesterday in the municipal court commenced action against the members severally and jointly to recover 5268, for printing tickets, postal cards, etc. • CULLED IK COURT. Lucinda Clark was ordered sent to the in sane asylum by Judge Yon Schlegel yes terday. Herman Sandhoff pleaded guilty yesterday to selllncr liquor without a license, and paid a tine of $59.30.

Charles Wilson and Abraham Kennison, indicted for selling liquor without a license, were brought into the district court yester day. Both pleaded not guilty, and will be tried Feb. 1. .i Nathan W. Savage, the second-hand dealer, on Second avenue south, just below First avenue south, made an assignment yesterday to Frederick Hooker. An affidavit was also tiled stating that the property on hand will not exceed in value $15,000. Before Judge Lochren yesterday was begun the case of T. W. Emery against the city of Minneapolis to recover §20,000 for - injuries alleged to have been received by driving into a post in the middle of the street on Washing ton avenue north, in front of which no danger signal had been placed. J. F. Gould is a druggist doing business on the corner of Lvndale avenue and Lake street. Yesterday morning he was asrested and taken before Judge .Young on two iudictmeuts charging him with selling liquor without a li cense. He pleaded not guilty and was put under bonds of $400 to appear Feb. 1. ALL SORTS. There was some talk of opening the Expo sition on Friday, Aug. 27. but th» supersti tious man of the Board objected. E. S. Cor ser said: "I was married on Friday "and it rained like the deuce from morning till night and I never lose a case in the courts, and have always been happy, and 1 think this slander of Friday is outrageous. Friday is a good day." Sines Rev. Father McGolrick spoke so bit terly aurainst rum-sellers last Sunday, certain ones have become somewhat agitated and now L. Tuscany breaks into an open revolt Tnere was considerable fun in the register of deeds' office yesterday, when a German' entered and remarked in a loud voice- "Say i I vos got an affection here, and I vant it right avay." Deputy Plummet- gazed at the man a moment and then told him to hunt around I and see if he could find it. The visitor Anally I explained that it was a satisfaction of mort- ! gage he wanted and not an affection. Just what constitutes honesty is open to a I great deal of discussion. An advertisement ' in a "Minneapolis paper-reads that "any ' honest person can borrow money by giving a ' mortgage on his house and lot or on his fur-' ' niture." Yes, and i bank cashiers can be i made to remain in the United States by chain- < ' ing them to a three-thousand -Douhd safe and I locking them in a burglar-proof room. The "Personal Peculiarity" editor of the Journal is evidently getting in trim to run for some office. In every issue he mentions three or four persons and covers them with "whitewash" and "taffy", until the men don't know whether they are themselves or some one else. HMEMsMHRH^ Developments in the new evening paper mar. be expected very shortly. L George K. Shaw is expecting the arrival of C. A. Ninocks and meantime is negotiating with A. J. UletheH for the franchise of the United Press. Mr. Blethen has been approached on the same errand by. gentlemen who talk of starting a Democratic evening paper and until they settle, close or quit, he cannot treat with Mr. Shaw. The latter says be can probably get an equally satisfactory, news service by means of tne United lines, the Mackey-Bennett cable and the Northern American Telegraph companies, but will make no deal uutil he closes with Mr. Blethen. So the matter stands at present. . A gentleman who claims to have made a careful investigation states that E. Worthing ham. who has the contract for supplying the city poor with firewood is giving out cheap and worthless edgings while his contract calls lot- slabs and good wood mixed. He states that ho has learned th;s from suffering fam ilies and the drivers of the wood-carts. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. Bank clearings yesterday amounted to $321,375.49.

QUICK. A celebrated chemist a few years ago was making an experiment with some extremely explosive com pound which he had discovered. He had a small quantity of it in a bottle and was holding it up to the light; looking at it ..intently, and either by shaking the bottle or by the warmth of the hand it was exploded and was shivered into a million pieces. The first im pression was that they had penetrated his eyes, but to his intense relief he found they had only struck the outside of his eyelids, the eye closing on the instant of the explosion and before a fragment of glass could get to the eye. We ought to be nearly as quick to see our advantages. Every man owes it to himself and his family that he be not caught napping. The UTK opens a reservoir of help to all who , buy ready-made clothing. No man will be deceived by any argument to the contrary. It is recorded in ; every commercial register that R., B. & Co. are exclusive manufactur ers, and the UTK is their right bower.
