The foregoing estimates do not Include any appropriations for erecting and furnishing' new buildings, purchasing land, or for extraordinary repairs and improve ments. The state board of corrections and charities will recommend an appropriation for each institution for extraordinary repairs and improvements, amounting to about 1 per cent of the value of the fixed property as Shown by the annual inventory. RAILWAY MAIL FACILITIES. Formation of. a .New Division in the Northwest, . A new division of the railway mail service was formed by order of the post office department Sept. 21. Formal or ganization will not take place however before the first of November as it will require considerable time to prepare the records and secure proper accommoda tions for the officials. Until that time, the new division will be under the jur isdiction of Capt. White at Chicago The territory of the tenth division was taken from the Sixth and includes Wis consin. Minnesota, the northern penin sula of Michigan, Dakota and Montana, Pactuiaster General Dickinson has ap pointed as superintendent of the new division Walter H. Butler, a gentleman •well qualified to fill the position. Mr. Butler was born in Pennsylvania, and is at present aliout thirty-five years old. He received his education at the Uni versity of Minnesota, studied law with Daniel Buck at Mankato, and completed his law studies at the Madison Law school. He received one of the first appointments as postal clerk in . the railway mail service under the Cleve land administration, and has served with conspicuous ability in every grade of the service until the present honor was conferred on him. The headquarters of the new division will remain temporarily in the chief clerk's office at the city postoffice, but it is expected that quarters will soon be obtained in the Rice building, corner Fifth and Jackson streets.

There were no new developments in the Allen failure yesterday, lt was stated that the German-American bank had a bill of .20,000 standing against the firm. Mr. Sattler, the assignee, was busy making inventory of the stock and was of the opinion that the assets would be nearer tfluo.i.ou than 180,000. He could rive no estimate of the liabilities, but believed there was some pretty large bills outstanding. Visiting Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows have arranged for a great time In St. Paul to-day.

Ignatius Donnelly Op posed to Leading- a For lorn Hope. His Withdrawal From the La bor Ticket Only a Ques tion of Time. Providing* New Depositories for the Ballots of Amer ican Citizens. — ' Judge Flandrau and the Inde pendents Will Await Re sults of Primaries. A report was circulated at a late hour last night that Hon. Ignatius Donnelly had withdrawn from the gubernatorial race. A reporter of the Globe inter viewed the farmers and labor candidate concerning the matter, at his room in the Merchants hotel, shortly after mid night. Mr. Donnelly acknowledged that there were grounds for the rumor, but was considerably surprised that it had come to the knowledge of the Globe, as an attempt had been made to maintain secrecy. When questioned as tolas withdrawal, he said : ••No, I have not withdrawn/but the executive committee of the Farm and Labor party held a meeting to-day to consider the propriety of withdrawing their ticket for state officers from the field. This course was recommended because it was considered impossible to carry the state or even canvass a great I part of it. There was a desire to con centrate the efforts of the speakers of the party on behalf of the legislative ticket of the Farm and Labor party, but nothing was positively done except to discuss the matter. Further action will be taken in a few days. The whole question will rest with the state central committee, as the candidates are ready to continue the light if they say so, although it will be only leading a forlorn hope." In the cities we would probably draw largely from Mr. Wilson, as the most of tlie laboring men are Democrats; while in the country we would detract many Republican votes from Mr. Mer riam." DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. Delegates to Be Chosen to the County Convention To-Morrow. The primaries for the election of del egates to the Ramsey county Democratic convention will be held this evening from 5 until 7 o'clock. The indications are that the ticket chosen will be un usually strong, and the convention will be a most harmonious .one. There is absolutely no opposition to the renomi nation of If. F. Kain as county auditor. For sheriff George Moeller will be selected. A. N. Nelson or Alfred Palm quist will be put up for county treas urer. J. J. Egan will be renominated as county attorney, while K. Stone Gor man will be nominated for judge of probate and Dr. J. A. Markoe as cor oner. W. A. Van Slyke will be se lected to contest the race for register of deeds with M. J. Bell, the Republican nominee. Dan Kelly, L. D. Wilkes, Charles Liedmann, 11. F. Hoyt. A. B. Konnev and George Mitsch are the prouauie nominees ror county commis sioners. The possible make up of the legislative ticket is still in doubt. 11. F. Stevens will probably be indorsed. John S. Grade will contest for political honors with William F. Bickel, .John li. Ives will be nominated to oppose James A. Johnson, the labor candidate Who obtained his seat on Saturday after so hard a struggle. Messrs. Botes, Lienau and Schurmeier are also spoken ot, but the make up of the legislative ticket will be a matter of conjecture until to-morrow. THE RESULT UNAFFECTED. The Independent Move If Inaug urated Will Be Unimportant. The independent convention for the nomination of a ticket which shall not be based strictly upon party lines, may or may not be called, its calling depend ing upon the feeling which the nomina tion of to-morrow ticket will produce. It is the intention of the independ ents to submit the ticket to most vigorous scrutiny, and either m dorse or reject it, iv part or wholly. If the result of the convention should meet with their approbation no move ment for an independent ticket will be made. If the ticket does not please, however, it is the intention of the insti gators of the movement to call a con vention, indorse such nominations as* meet with their approbation, and place in nomination upon the new ticket sub stitutes for the nominations upon the regular county ticket. From preseut indications it seems to be a foregone conclusion thet the infant movement looking towards the birth of a new county ticket would simply re sult in a flash in the pan. The ticket,, as it will be placed before the people as the outcome of the deliberations at Market hall to-morrow, will be clean, ; . wholesome and free from objectionable features. The general sentiment among repre sentative Democrats about the city, yes terday, was that the independent • move was a most foolish one. thai it could not poll 200 votes, and that in the face of the notoriously weak ticket nominated by the Republicans, success for the regular Democratic nominee was as-: sured. • Judge Flandrau, upon being inter rogated as to the new movement, stated that the future of the independents would depend largely upon the outcome of the convention to-morrow. "We are dissatisfied with the manner in which the primaries are conducted," continued the judge. "We wished to have due notice given as to the time of their occurrence, places for holding them, and also requested that a regular Democratic club member be made one of the judges. Our first proposition was acceded to and due notice was given. However, the powers that be would not accede to our request for judges, and for that reason have resolved upon having either a fair representation, or going into the held with an independent ticket, which will, 1 hope, embody the strongest men in the party, and bring to us the vote of the conservatives. We are all of us tired of being compelled, with each re- rim: election, to be relegated to the background, and at the last election we went into the convention, and notwith standing the fact that our claims were most stronely pushed by the champions of our side, and that onr credentials when presented to the proper commit tee were without a flaw, we were thrown out. The me men who did such effective service at that time once more come to the front as judges of the primaries." NEW BROOMS. Republican County Committee men Organize. The new Republican County Com mittee held their initial meeting at the I Clifton last evening. There were pres from the wards: John Copelaud, First; T. Wilson, Second; George W. Lane, Third; D. F.

M. Bushnell, and the committee will be enlarged to three ad ditional members. Fred S. Parker, Ernest Mobin ami James Williams be ing the lucky men. On motion of Sam Nichols the executive committee will consist of nine members who will, be appointed by the chairman to day. Fred G. Wheeler was appointed assistant secretary and after • discussing the plans of campaign for upwards of two hours an attempt was made to realize the nature and extent of the work to be accom plished by Informally, noting the amount of money necessary to be raised in each ward and in the country. No decision was arrived at, however, and a meeting of the executive committee is called for to-morrow at 4 o'clock at the Clifton, when the committee will es tablish themselves in permanent head quarters..- r -y ; JUDGE M'DONALD'B DISTRICT; Anticipations of a Sweeping Vie* -.. Tory at the Polls. "We are more than hopeful of the outlook in the Third congressional dis trict and anticipate a sweeping victory," said Judge McDonald at the conclusion of the meeting of the Third district congressional committee yesterday afternoon in room No. 5 at the Merchants. These were present from their respective counties: E. Southworth, chairman, Scott county; August Truwe, Carver county; Joseph John. Chippewa county; R. C. Libby. Dakota county: M. Doyle. Good hue J. M. Spicer, Kandiyohi: Hamlet Stevens. Meeker; S. P. Brown, Me- Leod; T. O'Connor. Reuville: Henry B. Hill, Bice, and William Austin. Each delegate told precisely the situ ation in his county and informally ad vised as to the course to be pursued prior to the election. - A. D. Warner, who was a candidate for the legislature from the old First ward, lias announced that he has with drawn from the contest. He has found that according to section .4. article 4, of the state constitution, he is ineligible to the office, not having been a resident of the district for six months. It is understood that Connty Treas urer Renz feels humiliated and insulted at the summary manner in which he was deposed from office by the Republicans. In connection with the Richter forces he will give the ticket but lukewarm support NEW BALLOT BOXES. Receptacles in Which "Voters "Will Deposit Their Preferences. City Clerk Prendergast is engaged perfecting arrangements for the in auguration of a new system of voting at the coming elections. At each polling place throughout the city seven ballot boxes will be used, a separate receptacle being provided for the ballots for presidential electors, state officials, congressmen, members of state legislature, county officers, dis trict judges, and constitutional amend ments, a total of 448 boxes being re quired to cast the vote of the city. Each of these boxes is marked in plain letters with the number of the ward and subdistrict, and also with the ticket for whicli it will be used. For instance, in the second precinct of the Third ward the box in which votes for the state ticket will be cast is marked '•State" in large letters on top, and on either end the words "Third Ward, Second District." The new boxes are strongly con structed, one-Inch black walnut dove tailed and glued together being used for the bottom and ends, while the sides are of half-inch plate glass. They are put together so that after the votes are counted and returned to the boxes by the judges each box may be locked by means of a Bohannon padlock. The key will be dropped through the aper ture in the top, which will afterwards be closed by an ingeniously constructed automatic lock, and it will then be im possible to get at the ballots without breaking the boxes.' The city clerk holds duplicate keys, which will be used when the official recount is made. POLITICAL POINTERS. The North St. Paul Cleveland and Thurman club met last evening, and for two hours indulged in an enthusiastic flow of harmony, interspersed with stirring speeches by E. St. Julien Cox, John H. Ives and others. H. P. Bali lias been mentioned as a candidate for register of deeds. Charles Beckhoefer, of the First ward, is a candidate for the legislature in the Twenty-sixth district, against H. L. Williams. Mr. Beckhoefer is an attor ney, and was born in Pennsylvania. He is secretary of the Hebrew reform con gregation, and would be very strong amongst his nationality. Alfred Palmqust, who has been for the last few days quietly working for the nomination for the county treasurer ship, is spoken of as a probable candi date. CLUMSY COUNTERFEITERS. Figures Changed on a Treasury Note Quickly Detected. Sheridan Ilinman is languishing be hind the bars of the county jail for a clumsy attempt at counterfeiting. Wednesday evening he entered the store of Michael Wagner, on Bice street, and called for a package of tobacco, in payment for which lie threw down what looked like a §5 bill and received the change. He had hardly left the store when Mr. Wagner discovered that he had been duped, and that the $5 bill was in reality asl bill, the figure one haviug been changed to a five. On dis covering the trick that had been perpe trated upon him, he gave chase to the young man and succeeded in overhaul ing him. The prisoner was turned over to the police and given a bearing before Commissioner Spencer, who held him in $1,000 bail. A confederate named Hol ton was also arrested and will be exam ined before the commissioner this morn ing- BURNED THE BARN. An Early Morning Blaze on Selby Avenue. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning fire was discovered in the brick stable on Selby, near Nina avenue, belonging to the estate of the late Commodore Kitt son. When the department arrived the roof was nearly all ablaze. The horses, carnages and vehicles were all removed without damage, except three sleighs. The building was completely gutted by the fire, the loss being placed at 53,000, covered by insu ranee. Through the ex ertions of the fire department, under the supervision of its efficient chief, John T. Black, the flames were pre vented from communicating to the man sion. Shot at on Summit Avenue. Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning four revolver shots fired in rapid succession were heard in the vicinity of Ramsey street and Summit avenue. Investigation showed that Officer Sullivan, doing duty there, had seen a suspicious-looking character sneaking along in the shade, He called to the man to stop, but instead of doing so he started off on a run. The officer then pulled his revolver and fired four shots, none of which seemed to take effect, as they did not tend to slacken his pace. Paid Dearly for a Carouse. James Gannon was arrested by Officer Meyerding yesterday on suspicion 'of being the man who robbed Joseph Bar kin of 14 and a gold watch. Larkin is a truckman at the Merriam Park engine house and came to St. Paul yesterday to enjoy himself. He met Gannon, and after circulating around for some. time, they went to bed together on the corner of Jackson and Seventh streets. When Larkin awoke the money and watch had disappeared. . — — #■% - results, largest circulation and §-£ _f\ _*_ _r most advantageous rates are ___§__, / given by tne Globe, the treat ww * "Want'' medium. FIXED- THE TAX LEVY. ■ ■■ - Farther Redactions Agreed Upon by the ;• i City Council. WABASHA STREET BRIDGE. Judges Selected for the Fall Elections — No Cutting Down of the Street Force Estimates. '•'* A.special meeting of the city council was held last evening for the purpose or adjusting the tax "levy, which lias s< disturbed the minds of the city fathers during the past week. Alderman Bickel presided, and there were present Alder* men Melady, Minea, Yeorg. Bock, Culf len, Fischer, Pratt, Sullivan, Leithauser and Sanborn. j Comptroller Roche stated that the committee on ways and means had re solved upon a reduction of seven-tenths of one mill in the city tax levy estimate and three-tenths of one mill from the board of education estimate. The county auditor had counseled a reduc tion of two-tenths of one mill for county purposes. Mr. Roche suggested that live-tenths of one mill be deducted from the proposed one mill levy for the rebuilding of Wabasba street bridge, and the grand total tax levy for all pur poses would be: First five assessment districts... .18.50 mills Sixth assessment district ...17. 10 mills Seventh assessment district 16.20 mills Eighth assessment district 18.00 mills Ninth assessment district 16.20 mills Ten th assessment district 15.70 mills Aid. Melady— Does the reduction in terfere with the wages of men employed on the streets? I oppose any such re duction, for the payments to these men is the best expenditures that we make. Aid. Sanborn replied that the adoption of the tax levy did not deal with any such question as a reduction of wages to the street force. The resolution simply fixed the amount of money to be raised for all purposes. The street price estimate of last year has $127,000 and the committee on ways and means had fixed it this year at about $200,000, a c »nsiderable increase. The levy was then adopted. An ordinance was read granting the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad company power to construct a rail road track across Chestnut street, which Aid. Bock proposed should be passed. Aid. Yeorg vigorously opposed this action, because the Milwaukee road had not been of so great a benefit to the city of St. Paul that they should be granted at once everything asked for. Let the matter be referred to the committee on streets, and if the company deserve it, they would get it. The ordinance was consequently re ferred to the streets committee. Messrs. Minea, Weber, Sanborn, Pratt, Yeorg and Conley were appointed a committee to confer with the court house commissioners respecting the lo cation of offices in the new court house. A polling place, the cost of which shall not exceed $35, was authorized to be built at the northeast corner of Chestnut street and Pleasant avenue. i Thejudtres suggested tor the election ■ next November were adopted with the : following alterations: In the First ward, Second district, for Frank Perry, substitute W. P. Frank; Fourth ward,. Second district, for W. Christian, sub stitute August Hammer; Third district,: for August Hammer, substitute W. De laney; Fourth district, for Martin Brug geman, substitute Charles Williams; Sixth ward. First district, for Frank C. Housdoif, substitute J. ('. McCarthy; Third district, for Oliver German!, sub stitute J. E. Brady: Eighth ward. First district, for F. S. Loula, substitute T. Wheeler. . . ' NO SALE PERFECTED. j Complications Prevent the Trans fer of the Grand Opera House. The long-talked-of sale of the opera house seems to be off, at least for "the present. The terms of the sale and the vaiious complications that have arisen to defeat it have been i kept from the public to such an extent that it is Im possible to state what the troubles is. The Chicago Tribune of yesterday has the following: .- •; John Crabtree. brother and manager of Lotto, arrived in Chicago yesterday from St. Paul. He denies the report sent out from that city that his sister has purchased the Grand Oi era-House there or the Henuepiu Opera-House at Minneapolis. Mr. I'raDtree said that he spent several days in negotiating for the St. Paul property, but the deal fell through. The Minneapolis play-house he made no effort to secure. Manager Scott was seen last evening in regard to the matter, but he knew nothing at all about the dealings be tween the Lotta party and the owners of the opera house. The latter were also unwilling to state what the trouble was and the matter is left in the dark. One thing is certain, and that is that the !on^-talkcd-of sale has not culmi nated in a transfer of the property, and that the Lotta party has gone East. It is reported, however, that a new prop osition has been forwarded to Lotta, or to her manager. Mr. Crabtree. liATK LOCALS. James Kgan. a teamster, at a late hour last night fell into 1 lie area of the Metropolitan hotel, seriously injuring himself about the head and face. A runaway occurred on Sixth street, near Wabnsha yesterday afternoon, the frigh tened animal running into another buggy and upsetting both vehicles. The occupants, ■who were thrown to the ground with con siderable violence, escaped without injury, though both buggies were bably wrecked. The Capital City dancing club gave a very enjoyable party at. Drake block hall last evening, about seventy-live couples being in attendance. • Advancing Kates. Commencing yesterday the Milwaukee & St. Paul road advanced grain rates one cent per hundred from points west of Webster on the Hastings and Dakota division to Chicago, and on the South ern Minnesota, from Madison and Bris tol, Dak., to Chicago. None of the other roads, have made the advance, and agents say they probably will not,, the advance being merely local on the Milwaukee. The Omaha & Northwest ern asents say they will meet any ad vance made by the Milwaukee, when there is competition, but they will await j the action of . the - freight men in Chi cago, who are now revising the freight ariff. Chips From the Ties. . The earnings of the Chicago, Milwaukee «St St. Paul for the fourth week of September were $348,000, an increase of $'J"-',014 as compared with the corresponding week last year.

McCullough, of the Omaha, returned from Chicago yesterday. ; There has been a good deal of complaint: Against the Northern Pacific and the Muu itoba roads, since it has been definitely ascer tained that there will be a short wheat crop, because of the grain rates of these two roads. The roads and the commissioners have had several conferences in regard to the matter, and it is expected that arrangements will be made to bring about a reduction. It was the intention of Mr. Villard to go over the line of the road to the Pacific coast, but he has changed hi* plans, and has tele graphed several parties that he wanted to see, to meet him at St. Paul.

MINNESOTA METHODISTS. • j t Til ~" The Church Parts With Rev. S. 6. Smith With Regret. KIND WORDS SPOKEN OF HIM Feeling Reference to His Recent Be reavement—Other Doings of the Conference. Special to the Globe. Wixoxa, Oct. The second day's session of the Minnesota Methodist con ference opened with devotional exer cises at 8 o'clock, Rev. Aaron Turner, of Red Wing, preaching the morning sermon. The business meeting was then opened by Bishop Hurst. Cases for recognition of orders from other denominations were referred to the committee on admission on trial. It was decided that all supplies be pre sented by the presiding elders and re ferred to the committee on admission. Presiding Elder F. J. Wagner, of the Minneapolis district, read his report. Elders irom other districts passed in character and presented statistics. The interesting moment of the session was when the name of Dr. A. G. Smith, of St. Paul, was brought before the confer ence by Presiding Elder S. B. Warnech, who said that Mr. Smith wished to with draw. He moved that his withdrawal be accepted. Dr. Smith was present, and, being called for, said that for many years he had labored in the Methodist church and had done the best he could. He had only the kindest feelings for the Methodist church now, but he belived lie could do better work elsewhere, and asked to have his withdrawal passed on by the conference. The genercl feeling towards Dr. Smith was of the kindliest nature by all who ex pressed themselves. Bishop Hurst said there existed throughout the con ference the tenderest*" feeling for Dr. Smith on account of the work he had done in the church, and on account of his late bereavement. The bishop had received letters from prominent mem bers of the church expressing the hope that Dr. Smith inipht retain his mem bership with the Methodists. He had acted honorably. Rev. John Peniber ton, of Lake City, expressed his high regard for Mr. Smith, and thought the conference ought to extend sympathy in the loss of his beloved wife. Elder MqCleary, of Fergus Falls, said many of the frontier ministers owed their warm clothes TO MRS. SMITH and would always revere her memory. Drt Levi Gilbert believed every one felt the same kind feeling towards Dr Smith, aud hoped he might abundantly prosper in his new field in St. Paul". Presiding Elder Stowers spoke feelingly j in 'memory of Mrs. Smith. Rev. Mr. Lathrop wished that even now Dr. Smith might reconsider his determina- I tion to withdraw and remain where he | belongs, among us. A discussion arising as to whether . Dr. Smith withdrew from the min istry or from the church. Dr. Smitii arose and stated that he wished to withdraw both from the min istry and from the church. His parch- j ment had already been handed in.
