MINNEAPOLIS NEWS. The Highly Moral Police Com missioners' New Metro! of Catching Crooks. It Loots Like a Scheme to Boom a Certain Person Into Office. The Paving and Bridge Build ing* of a Year— The Curtis Case. A Receiver for the Franklin Bazar— The Milk Proau cers Organize. MORE SCAXDAIjS. The Moral Members of the Police Commission Again at. Their Tricks. Frank Hughes and George Moore, the two crooks arrested Tuesday night upon suspicion by Inspectors Lawrence and Kinney, were discharged in the municipal court yesterday upon promts ing to leave the city. According tothe in spectors, the men before leaving gave up some information of a sensational nat ure. They were concerned with a man named Murphy in the bufflarizing of a jewelry store at Osseo, chut after lan guishing in jail for about seven weeks were discharged for want of evidence against them. They stated to the in spector, according lo the latter, that the jewelry, valued at SLSOG. was brought to Minneapolis and sold for >'■_■' hi to a pawnbroker named 11. De Young. hose place ot business is at 214 Washington avenue south. This De Young came to Minneapolis about a year ago and was recommended to the police of the city as a successful stool-pigeon for the de. tection of thieves. That is. from his knowledge and intimacy with criminals lie would be able to furnish the police with valuable points and information. Some weeks ago lie applied to the im mortal police commission fora '•button"" to be put in his place of business. A "button" is a small knob which, when touched, would ring an electric bell at police headquarters and thus post the detectivss when crooks known to De Young should visit his place. For conveying this information De Young asked .100 a month. This idea was warmly advocated by the moral members of the police commis sion, but was opposed by the balance of the board, who had a strong suspicion that the plan was being urged lor the ultimate purpose of booming J. <'. Gowdy. who has made some pretensions to in.;' a detective, for the office of chief inspector, to which he has aspired. As lie has been on intimate terms with the De Young it was con jectured that he would also be furnished with a ••bit. ton"" and given information in advance of the detectives. At least some authentic rumors about the city hall substantiate such a theory. Mayor Ames, when asked last night if the' alwye had come to his knowledge a-- a commissioner, answered that he be lieved tin* report v\as substantially cor rect and that the scheme was to enable Gowdy to loom up as a detective of rare ability in order that In- flight supplant Capt. Ilankinson. WORK FOR TK X CITY. Cost of Patriae and Bridge Build- ing Daring the Year. ci:;.

The Water Bad and Market Ditto —A Source of Revenue. Tliere is no change in the situation on the platform, except that the water power is possibly worse than a week ago, says the Northwestern Miller. The output last week was surprisingly large, but this was owing to lv .ivy work done by the steam mills. The week's product was 130,500 barrels- av eraging 21.750 barrels against 102,300 barrels the previous week, ami 122,000 barrels for the corresponding time in 1836. There were fourteen mills running to-day, which is one less than a week ago. Eight of these have steam, ami are getting out the major portion of the Boar ground. The re maining six are of the medium and smaller classes, and they are having a good deal of difficulty about keeping under headway. The water at the head of the West side canal has only occa sionally shown over two feet depth since Monday, and it is the general expression of millers that they never before saw the river so low. There are some mills which have attempted to run, hut could not keep even their empty ma chinery in motion. Three of these have practically closed down for the winter. as any improvement in the power until spring is considered extremely doubt ful. In fact, the weather, being open ami mild, has been in favor of the mills right along, and as soon as there is a solid freeze up a much worse condition of things may be expected. The dally output at present, though difficult to es timate, probably doe- not vary greatly from 20 barrels. The offal now made by the mills forms a not inconsiderable item of revenue, some of them selling largely at retail at $16 per ton or over. With wheat on a decline for a few days past, the Hour market lias lost life and the movement is comparatively small. Millers in the market are shading former prices some, but asa rule not enough to -nil buyers, and the business done is not large. Although the export trade is generally reported very light, one sale of 140 cars of bakers' was made on Monday by a certain local firm at what was" claimed a fair price. The flour exports for the week were 45,550 barrels, against 87,750 barrels the week fore. CRIMES AND CRIMINALS. Sentenced For Burglary—- Several Interesting UqBOT Cases. The ease of George Byers for forgery was nolled. Kicbard Murphy pleaded guilty to petit larceny and was given ninety days iv jail. Fred lark, convicted last Tuesday of grand larceny, was given eighteen months in state's prison; The cases of the state against Ted Quill lan. Spike Trainer and John Wise for assault in the second degree, were continued to Dee. 36. Charles Merriman. Indicted for grand larceny in the second degree for burg larizing the wholesale liquor store of A. Salmon;., was tried and found guilty. lie was given four years and six months in the slate's prison. Conrad Bayha, against whom seven indictments were found for stdlinir li quor without a license, pleaded guilty to one indictment and was sentenced to serve thirty days in the county jail and pay a fine of $50 and the costs of prose cution. The other six indictments were nolled. When the ease of Peter and Mary Saner, indicted for selling liquor with out a license, was called, It. L. Peuney. defendants' attorney, interposed a de murrer to the indictment, on the ground that the tacts stated in the indictment did not constitute an offense. The point being that the indictment staled that Peter and .Mary Saner sold liquor with out first procuring a license, therefore, that the legal inference must be that one of them had a license and therefore no crime was committed. Judge Loch ren sustained the demurrer, and the de fendants were discharged. The county attorney then had Peter Saner arraigned on a second indictment, and tin which he stood trial and was convicted. 'i'he court gave him forty-five days in the count; jail and ordered him to pay a tine ot 175 and the costs of prosecution. FOYER FANCIES. Current Attractions at the Thea ters—-Tbc National Opera Cotn- pany. Joseph Murphy presented "Shawn Kline" to a fair house at the Grand last night. In "Miami Rime" Murphy dis plays the same venality as in other plays, and made a decided hit, as was evidenced by the hearty applause that greeted the star in the various incidents of the play. There is considerable of the pathetic in '•shaun Khue," and the star made the most of ii. In the graveyard scene, Mr. Murphy introduced his song, "A Handful of Earth from Mother's Grave"' which was encored.

We carry a splendid ballet, led by as line a premier as ever eat macaroni ami pirouetted in La Scale," and our scenic effects are equally good. All our scenery is from the brush of Henry Hoyl, of the Metropolitan opera bouse. New York, and he has painted, without doubt, the best floral transformation scene ever put on the frames.

A crowd of messenger boys are loiter ing around the Grand, presumably after tickets for the National opera, as the number sold to each person is limited to ten the chances for speculation arc small. The gallery of the {.rand has been rc earpet-d, painted and renovated for the approaching opera season. "Our Irish Visitors" is drawing crowded houses at the Hennepin Ave nue theater. In the character of Gil hooley, the Irish lord, Mr. Murray is the quintessence of droii.<]iiie; and orig inal humor. His very silence is so funny that it convulses the entire audi ence." In the last act, especially, where he indulges in bis lonesome conviviality. he is entirely original, there being noth ing like it on the American stage. Mr. Murphy is a good second to his partner, and indulges in his quaint and jolly Irishisms to the immense gratification of the audience. The musical feature of the performance, however, is "Sleep, Baby Sleep."'

BARNEY BALDWIN'S PLIGHT. A Talk With a Natural Paradox— The Second Case Now on Record. Some new method of capital punish ment must be devised. There is a liv ing witness to the fact that a broken neck does not necessarily cause death, and as the broken neck is the essential element of hanging, a change must come. On the third fioor of the .Nicollet house yesterdary afternoon a conven tion of physicians looked with pro fessional interest and much non-pro- fessional wonder at oßarney Baldwin. who presents the anatomical paradox of a man living with a broken neck. About his waist is a powerful corset, which supports a steal arm coming up from behind and cany Ing a frame which holds his head erect. The moment this frame Is removed, the head falls for ward and utter unconsciousness ensues. The neck is broken at the sixth* vertebra, and so the physicians have attested, following the example of the most noted surgeons of the world. "This is the second case of broken neck 1 have seen," said Dr. Allen as he finished his examination. "The other was the case of my own father. He was thrown from a carriage and the cervical vertebra were dislocated. Put he not only lived, but the neck regained its strength. There is no doubt this man's neck is really biol.cn." Barney Baldwin is accompanied by his wife! an attentive little lady with Minnie Maddern hair, who does all in her power to make his life as comfort able as possible. She is familiar with his case and talks as glibly of the acci dent and its results as does Barney him self. "Give an Irishman a fair show and he'll beat tlie world." said that redoubt able individual. "I have gone through enough to kill a dozen ordinary men. Yes, it was a railroad accident, of course. I was a brakeman on the Louis ville A Nashville railroad, and the acci dent happened last 19th of March at Birmingham, Ala. 1 was on a caboose when the throttle of the engine flew -open and the jerk threw] me off. It was a desperate struggle for life. In the fall I dislocated my left shoulder, and the next moment broke my right arm trying to catch the step of a caboose as it went over me. As the engine came along 1 threw up my leg to catch the foot board and broke it in two places, and the next moment the ash pan struck me and I was gone. When I was picked up unconscious, I had my neck, both arms, both legs and five ribs broken. Sutler! Of course I do, and it makes me irritable, and sometimes flighty in my talk. For three months 1 lay on a rub ber mattress filled with water. 'You furnish the science and I'll find the nerve,' I said to the doctors." Yet in spite of all this, tliere Barney sat and talked easily of his bruises. lie is cut and scarred from head to heels, and constantly wears the corset and mask. When the accident occurred he wore a gold watch in his pocket, which was missing for fourteen hour;.. Fi nally, after cutting a bolt head from his chest, near the collar bone, the surgeon cut the watch from his side, where it had been forced by the cruel pressure. "I believe he will get well yet, '-said Dr. Allen. "This I base- on my fathers ease. I think the ligaments will gradu ally grow stronger until he can support his" head without that frame, It may take two years yet." ••I an wait that long," said Barney, cheerfully, "but it is very tough. There is not a minute in which I don't suffer. Still 1 think I notice Ague of improve ment. For a while I could not see and 1 had no control of my limbs. When the doctor told me to raise my right arm, my left one would come up, and the same way with my legs. 1 don't do that now. In the morning, when I wake up, I rub my eyes and the doctors say that is a good sign." This Is certainly a singular and very interesting case. It appears the cervical vertebra; were dislocated, without dam- airing the spinal cord seriously, so that life was not endangered, though the support of the head is removed. Physi cians pronounce it an anomalous case and certainly this man must possess a wonderful vital energy to survive such a terrible ordeal, lie hopes to recover, entirely, and in the mean time is mak ing a comfortable living as a dime mu seum freak. ALL. SORTS. It is said that Charlie Ames is a daily attendant at the meetings of the State Dairy association. The cheerful C. E. Locke is once more in this vicinity, but where is Dave Blakely? Sidewalk Inspector De Haven yester day left a box of Ilavaiias at police headquarters for his fellow officers to smoke off duty, of course. It's a boy and tiie mother is doing well. Mayor Ames— Blaine seems to think he is president, and issued a proclama tion because Cleveland did. Well, they've finally managed to send poor Aid. Peter Saner to jail for selling a glass of beer, and a great moral work has been accomplished. He should have had Erwin to defend him. Mark Murphy, the Irish comedian now playing at the Hennepin avenue theater, tells a good story in his inim itable way upon Pat Rooney. Some one was telling Rooney that" he had played this country so much that he should visit Australia and give the United States a rest. "No, he hadn't better go to Australia," spoke up Evans, of Evans A Hoey; "there are too many kangaroos there." , "And phat's the difference?" re sponded Rooney. "Ain't tlieir money as good as anybody else's'.'"" Milkmen Organize. The shippers of milk and cream in Minnesota held a meeting yesterday morning in an ante room of the Win dom hall. Articles of incorporation were read and agreed to. It will be known as the Minnesota Milk Producers' association. The stock is placed at 10, --000, with St. Paul as their headquarters. The Incorporators are J. T. Ames, Northfield; Frank Gilford, Shakopee; A. K. Forsyth, Kenyon; Jacob Thorn. Shakopee; 11. M. Matterson, Faribault, and A. M. Olin, Northfield. The com plaints here are chiefly to the effect that the milk producers have had too much sour milk charged hack on them by handlers, and there has also been trouble about cans. That Old Curtis Case. The suit of J. C. Gjertson against Mrs. M. A. Curtis and J. Campbell, as Inter vener, was on trial yesterday before Judge Bea. This suit is brought to re cover possession of a quantity of furni ture which Mrs. Curtis bought at Gjert son's furniture store at 802 Nicollet ave nue, anil afterwards turned over to Campbell as security for a loan. Gjertson claims that Mrs. Curtis did not make an actual purchase of the goods, but bought them subject to the approval of her husband. Mr. Camp bell and Mrs. Curtis, as joint defend ants, claim that an actual purchase was made, and offered in evidence several bills and statements which showed that Mrs. Curtis had paid a portion of the bill and given her note for the balance. The case will be given to the jury this morning. _B_M Supervisors of the Poor. At the monthly meeting of the super visors of the poor the statement of the superintendent showed: Number of ap plications, 411; visits by superintendent, 117; relief granted in groceries, IDS, amounting to $589.40; number of pa tients in hospitals, Nov. 1, 81; received during the month, 22; now in" hospitals, 67; hospital expenses, . 1,086.07; inmates poor house, Nov. 1, .88; now in poor house, 47; expenses, $370; visits by city physician, 211; total expenses, $3,147.26.

It isn't the amount of space used in an advertisement that makes goods cheap. If the prices aren't right, no amount of space in the newspaper will make them right. You've noticed how some of the Dry Goods houses advertise, half page, whole page and sometimes two pages of our daily newspapers; yet when you come to compare Prices, our little 10-inch single col umn advertisement knocks them higher than "Gilroy's Kite." Our Bargains in 40-inch All- Wool Dress Goods at 25 cents are clinchers. Our 40, 44 and 46-inch Ail-Wool Dress Goods at 35 cents cannot be matched at double the price. Our Gents' Silk Scarfs, at 15c and 40c, beat the world. Our Germantown, Saxony and Zephyr Yarns, at 6c per skein, knock them all out.
