_> HAPPENINGS IN ST. PAUL. The Committee of the Striking Carpen ters Gives the Present Status of the Move. Gen. Ruger Accepts the Globe's Offer of a Medal-Captain Markoe's Letter. A West St. Panl Father's Desire to Abandon His Boy-Ah Important Land Snit. Mrs. Abbey's Discovery of Her Lost Diamonds-Other Interesting St. Paul News. THIS IS OFFICIAL. The Situation as Regards the Striking Union Carpenters. The Carpenters* union, of this city, feels that the public docs not quite un derstand the reason why the resolutions passed by the Contractors' union were rejected by them and, therefore, the committee having the matter in charge have issued the following as the official statement of the committee in charge of the strike: I The public by this time are under the im pression that the strike among the carpenters Is all over and that they are defeated, bat such is not the ease. Allow us first to ex plain why we did not accept the terms of tered by the Contractors anion. The pub lic have read, we expect, certain resolutions and terms offered by the contractors' and builders' beard of trade. Now it we iiad ac cepted these terms it would have placed us in a worst- position than we are to-day. .Further more, why should a few contractors, some twelve or fifteen of them that belong to the Carpenters' onion, undertake to make rules for one hundred and twenty or ore contractors that do not belong to (be Con tractors' union.and the bigger portion of them have already granted our demand* We claim that the majority rules, and as long as they give us what we as'_ we care nothing for the few that belong to the Contractors' union. The following figures will show whether the strike is a failure or not: The total number of union men in the city is 1,000: the num ber of union men working nine hours, TOO: the number of non-union men kin-,- nine hours is 2oo; the num ber of union and non-union ' men who have left the city on account of the strike, 300; number of union men still oat, 100. The above figures show that we are gain ing our point, and why should all our men now working nine hours go back to ten hours for the sake of making' terms with a few of them that belong to the Contractors' union? We say no ; we hold what we have already gained. The public most understand that in this Contractors' union there are only twelve or fifteen contractors that employ carpen ters; the balance is made up of all the other trades in the city and never employed a car penter. Now. let these twelve or fifteen con tractors keep the scabs that are in the city. We have no objection, until the scabs learn better. Per order of committee on strike. J. K. Myers, Chairman pro tern. C. Blakley. Secretary. GEN. UUGEil ACCEPTS. The Globe Medal for Excellence in Marksmanship — Army Notes.

The following letter, of which so much has been published, but which has never come to light, was received yesterday. Although the matter has been adjusted, still the letter plainly shows the ex-captain's feelings in the matter. The following is the letter in full: Don. A. P.. McGill. Governor of theStateof Minnesota— Now that my connection with the Minnesota National guard is sev ered, 1 resi>ectfnHy submit the following statement and protest: In the month of De- cern! "r. A. D. 1884, I organized the St. Paul Cavalry troop, designated of late in official orders "as the First Troop of cavalry. M. K. Q. During the session of the state legisla ture of the spring of 1SS5, 1 prepared and procured the passage of the act or the legis lature providing for a troop of cavalry in the guard. July 8 of the same year my troop passed inspection, and was mustered into the state service, ami in the two succeeding years ofl£86a_td 1887 it passed successful in spection, with a marked improvement in drill , discipline and completeness of organi zation each year, so that of late I have re ceived many -meats from officers of the guard upon the line appearance of my command. During all the lime of the exis tence of the troop Lieut. Ostium has rendered me most faithful and fficient assistance. In the first year of the existence of the troop there was an organized i mutiny, In which at first twenty, and later thirty." members were engaged. This 1 broke up without assistance from any one, and suc ceeded in restoring discipline without im- pairing the efficiency of the command. For many months at .1 time the troop has been maintained at my expense, and it now owes me over (200 "which 1 have advanced for armory rent, uniforms, etc. The non-com- missioned officers are now well instructed in tactics, and are thoroughly competent to drill their squads. In view of all of the above facts, and of the fact that no charges have been preferred against me, I hereby protest against the order disbanding my command and recalling the commissions of Lieut. Ostrum and myself, on the ground that the order is: First— Contrary to law, usage and prece- dent. Second— A gross violation of military courtesy. Third— Subversive of military discipline. Fourth— A direct blow at the efficiency of the service. Fifth— A warning to all officers of the guard that their labor to advance their com- mands may at any moment be recompensed by insult and humiliation on the part of their superior officers. sixth— the order referred to is one of the most unparalleled outrages ever perpe trated by a commanding officer upon his sub- ordinates. Respectfully. li ALSTON J. M aukok, Ex-Captain First Troop Cavalry, M. N. Q. St Paul, July 2. ABANDONED HIS BOY. . A Father Called to Task for His Cruelty — Court Notes. In special term, yesterday, Judge Kelly heard the case of August Krusche, a boy nine years old who was up in the municipal court several days ago. This is the third time lie has been brought before a district judge on a committal to the Reform school. The first time he was before Judge Kelly charged with .stealing peanuts. Again lie was before Judge Simons on the charge of incorrigibility, and this time he is charged with stealing a hex of cigars. The boy appears to be bright. and lie tells his story well. The first two times the judges refused to commit the boy to the Reform school, and this time Judge Kelly decided to investigate the matter. The father, who is a car penter owning his own home in West St. Paul, was brought into court to answer for the boy's conduct. From i the answers obtained it .seemed to j Judge Kelly that the parents had prac i tically abandoned the boy. with the in ! tention of putting him upon the public. ' Judge Kelly discharged the boy and j warned the father that unless he cared I for him properly he would be punished accordingly. DISTRICT COURT NOTES. Jacob V.

Mrs. Abbey's $2,500 Diamond Far Rings Found On a Servant, Six weeks ago Mrs. Abbey, a neice of Col. Allen, missed her solitaire diamond earrings, valued at 32,500, from her apartments at the Merchants hotel. The detectives were notified, and In spector Nugent, following the right clue, yesterday morning arrested Katie Eahes. an Irish servant girl twenty-two yean old, employed about the hotel as a paint cleaner, with the lost ear rings in her ears. The girl was lodged in the county jail, and will be arraigned for a hearing in the police court Monday morning. She is the daughter of poor, hut respectable parents, living at 133 York street, and she claims to have found the . jewels upon the stairway. She says she did not know they were so valuable, and hearing nothing about the loss concluded that the owner did not care for them and put them on to wear herself. The author ities think her story may be true. Mrs. Abbey when she retired for the night placed all her jewelry in a handkerchief under her pillow, aud in the morning neglected to put on her earrings. She did not miss them until breakfast time, and going back to her room could not find them. The supposition is that the. jewels clung to her dress and dropped on the stairway, where the girl said she found them. A QUIET ROAST, A Citizen Makes Some Remarks A In. the Health Officers. To the Editor of the Globe: To the Editor of the Globe: In this morning's paper I noticed an item of Paulina Schultz being arrested for the violating the health ordinance. We hardly think there is such an ordinance in this city or that there is such an office as health officer or inspector in exist ence, for we have repeatedly made com plaints by letter and personally to our Dr. Jones, the- city doctor and health officer and inspector, etc. They know that the health ordinance is violated right in the heart of the city not very far from the Minnesota club house. I have often wondered why our St. Paul aristocratic people do not feel the dread ful odor which surrounds them, right by their windows. Of course 1 presume that our best citizens, just at present, are out at the lakes, and those at home nobody cares for. A week ago I made a personal com plaint (0 Dr. .Jones, who knows that this filthy place is in existence, ever since this health ordinance was passed, in his Office, for violating this health ordi nance. The answer ot Dr. Jones was, '•Get out of here." We spoke to sev eral inspectors of the health depart ment, called their attention to it. The answer was, "We cannot do anything." We called the attention of several prom inent physicians here in the city— pronounced this the filthiest spot in the city of St. Paul! They notified Dr. Jones by letter that this must be at tended to at once, for we may have se rious sickness on account of it. No at tention is paid to this, and therefore I will appael to the city council.if there is any such law in the city of St. Paul, if they passed such an ordinance, and who, if so, is the proper party to enforce this law. If anyone doubts my assertion he might take a walk right around to 'the rear of the corner of Third and Cedar streets, at the rear of the- Minnesota club house. . You may talk all you want about the Chicago or Milwaukee rivers.such odors is you may claim or condemn those cities, but their streets and alleys are as clean as any city in the United States. and when any person makes a complaint to the city officials of those cities they generally use better language than our health officers do here. Our health officer here not only vio lates the oath he took to serve the peo ple, but abuses the same, and. I am ready to prove it. Yours, etc., D. P. ROUSSXI'OULOS. St. Paul, July 10. BOBBED BY EMPLOYES. M. J. Roche Taken in to the Tune of About $700. M. J. Roche, formerly editor of the Northwestern Sportsman, is about $700 loser, because of ♦ the confidence lie had reposed in two men in his employ. "When Mr. Roche secuped the privilege of furnishing the score cards for the ball sanies, lie formed an agreement with C. A. Sandstrum and C. E. Nat hurst, associated together under the firm name of the Twin City Publishing company, at 309>_> Jackson street, whereby they were to secure contracts and collect the bills. Settlements were to be made monthly, but although more than two months have passed by. still the first settlement remains to be made. This led Mr. Roche to inquire into the matter. He found that the pair had col lected mileage from the various rail roads to the amount of about $200, which they had sold at various ticket brokers' offices. Besides this, they had collected -?-.' K) cash. Mr. Roche has never re ceived a cent from the enterprise, and besides this lie owes the Dispatch Print ing company $175. So lie is practically about $700 out of pocket. Acting upon the advice of the municipal authorities, Roche swore out a warrant for their ar rest on the charge of larceny, but neither of them has been in the office for over two weeks and it is. more than likely that they have left this part of tin; country. Sandstrum was the candi date for county auditor on the Repub lican ticket at the last election. A QUESTION O*1 TIME. When the Graves of Soldiers Will Be Marked With Headstones. Capt. C. J. Stees, of Acker post, lias received the following communication from Washington: Offick of National CB_m_ bibs, I Washington, 1). C, July 13, 1887. J Charles J. stees. Esq., st. Paul, Minn.— Sir: By direction of the quartermaster general. I have to acknowledge receipt of your application for headstone* for soldiers' graves at your place, but regret to inform you that the appropriations granted In- con gress for this purpose ate only mfficwnt to enable the department to fill the requests received prior to March 25, 1887. Your application, with til others received after that date, litis been placed on file, and will be given prompt attention whenever an other appropriation for this work shall lie made; but. in any event, it will not be | M-t- Me to supply the stones umi the spring of 1SS3. Very respectfully your obedient serv ant. " .J. O. C'UANDLEK, Deputy Quartermaster General U. S. Army. Capt. Stees received a similar commu nication last year in response to a requi sition for soldiers' headstones, and be immediately offered a resolution in Acker post, (1. A. It., asking the com mander in chief of the Q. A. R. — through the proper channels— to peti tion congress to continue the appropria tion for soldiers' headstones, and the petition was complied with and the stones forwarded in time for Memorial day. The same course has been pur sued this year.which no doubt will meet with the same success. A careful in spection was made at all the cemeteries surrounding St. Paul last Memorial day, and all unmarked soldiers' graves were reported to Capt. Stees, who forwarded to Washington a requisition for over sixty, headstones for the same, to which the. letter below is a reply. St) that when this last requisition is filled there will be no unmarked graves to decorate next Memorial day by the Boys in Blue. A Good Time Ahead.

P. Bassford, of this city, are the archi tects named as umpires. Bassford is the unanimous choice of the architects. He thanks them very kinkly for the com pliment but declines to serve, and when he says no that is the end of it. It is probable that a Chicago man will make the selection of the best plan.

Mr. O'Holloran said lie did not know Whether the men would resume work or not, and he intimated ,;• that he would probably sue Mr. ■'. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, it seems lie said, could not secure the money to pay off the men. A teamster said Mr. McCarthy visited the work in the forenoon, but didn't show up during the afternoon. The teamster claimed that McCarthy wanted to call eleven loads a day's work.and the teamsters were not going to agree to any such proposition.

As far as fit and finish and usefulness are concerned, that depends on skill, and skill cannot be bought. If 1 have the skill I can use it without extra burden, and if you pay me 160 for the teeth I could not use any more skill; and as practice develops skill, we are likely to have more than the high-priced man, from the fact that we make more teeth by three times than any high-priced dentist in the state. ('ll*lllllll Bros., corner Seventh and Wa basha. If you can get any high-priced dentist to name the teeth and rubber he uses, we will use the same and charge you $>J for same and give written guarantee that the teeth and rubber are the same that he names. Cullum Bros., corner Sev enthand Wabasha. . , The senior member of the firm of Cul lum Bros., dentists, devotes his entire time to the painless extraction of teeth. The method used is his own invention. Thousands in St. Paul and the state have tested it and pronounce it a suc cess, Corner Seventh and Wabasha. if there is any such thing as convinc ing yon that we mean business, we pro pose to do it. We have built up a large business on the principle of absolutely one price to all, and that the best that can be produced. We buy our goods of a St. Paul firm, and if they do not say we use the best and highest priced teeth in the world, then we will forfeit one hundred dol lars.

BEAUTIFUL BELLE BUY ANT, One bf the Equestrienne Meteors That Illuminate Sells' Arena Belje Bryant, an airy, fairy thing, ol ■grace and beauty, is one of the lovely equestrienne stars who charm and thrill the audiences that attend the perform ances of Sells Bros.' circus. Miss Bry ant if* an American production, but has dazzled Europe with her art these last live years. The young lady is accounted theaaost daring, skillful and- graceful rider * hut lias ever appeared in this country. Though young in. years, not having yet att a i ned her major- ity. Miss Bryant has a 1 -read y (gained for ' herself the reputation of being tlie fore unost e "queestri- enne in all Eur. ope. j S he ha a played brill la.nt ; and trium- phant en- gagements _.__ — -._ --—--. in •-: i-aris, Berlin, Vienna, Brussels, Madrid -and London,- and numbers among her .pat rons many of the nobility -J of • Europe. One of her most pronounced ■ admirers is the Empress of Austria— herself a noted" rider — has given tlie fair American numerous substantial evidences of her approbation in the shape of medals and jewels. The young lady has probably been presented with more diamonds and jewelry than any other cotemporary ar tiste, not even excepting the famous Path. Miss Bryant's collection of valu ables represents such an enormous sum of money that for safety, and to avoid the care of them herself, she carries a lynx-eyed detective with her as the cus todian of the precious articles. Her trophies will be exhibited during her forthcoming visit to the city in the win dow of one of our prominent jewelry houses. It was with much difficulty that the Messrs. Sells secured the young equestrienne for this season's tour, she being loath to leave the scenes of her many remarkable successes. She finally yielded to a large monetary considera tion—-5375 per week and traveling ex penses for herself, mother, maid and de tective—the highest salary ever paid a rider in this country. The young lady's mother is her constant companion, and frowns down all advances made by heart-smitten dudes. Miss Bryant rides bareback entirely, and rivals Fish and Robinson in artistic evolutions. She executes both back and forward somer saults,pirouettes and fancy dances while her horse is running at full speed. In all probability this will be her last sea son in the United States, at least for several years, as already she is announ ced to open at the Paris Hippodrome early in the autumn. Geese Killed by Lightning, Chico (Cal.) Chronicle, R. Burch, who resides on Rock creek, north of town, informs us that during the storm of April 29, as he and his family were watching the clouds, a flock of geese passed near the house. As he was looking at them there came a vivid flash of lightning, which seemed to pass right through the flock of geese, and the next moment the flock seemed to be thrown into confusion, uttering the shrillest cries of alarm, and six of their number were seen falling to the ground. They had been killed by the lightning flash Mr. Burch had noticed. He went and picked up the dead geese, which he found to be plump and fat, without a mark to show where the lightning had struck them. He had a feast of roast goose the next day. This is the first in stance on record, we believe, of geese being struck by lightning while flying, and it is generally supposed that ' they are safe from the destroying bolt of Jove.
