2 SAINT PAUL. THE GOSSIPGII. The younger element of the repub lican party over In the Flour City is in a sad frame of mind, brought about by the contemplation of the present mu nicipal government. They got what they wanted, and now they want to get rid of it. A certain young politician who is quite a mogul in the Minneapo lis: Republican faction, was over here yesterday, and to a crowd of Saintly City sympathizers was recounting the woes of his metropolis. "The town is leader than a door nail,'' said he, lu gubriously, "and it will remain so for another year, until after the next election. Mayor Babb is away out of bis element where he is at present. He can run an ice business and play 'mumble-the-peg' with children, but tie can't run a city government. Most of his time is taken up with the blessed police commission, and there he does nothing but indulge in petty quarrels with the other members. The council is not much better, and, taking it alto u-ether. the town is in a pretty mess. At .) o'clock the sheriff stalks about and locks the whole town up, and after that hour everything is as dead as the grave. lam sorry to say that it is the best thing that could have happened for the Democrats, because they will have a full sweep at the next election." # St. Paul, while it pities her sister city in her many tribulations, cannot help but smile, as she is the gainer by it by thousands of dollars every week. The immense crowd of disgruntled Minne apolitans that are waiting for the short line trains -to take them home every night testify to that. They come over here to enjoy the sights of a city just the same as the people who live in Podunk and other "up kentry" resorts. Nobody can blame them for that. There is nothing like a little recreation once in a while, especially in a place where there is no danger of their being ar rested for being on the streets after the sun has gone down. So they come over here in droves every day and bring their sisters and their cousins and their aunts with them, while the St. Paul business man rubs his hands together gleefully. ■ * There is a move on foot among the local sporting fraternity to organize an athletic club, similar to trose in San Francisco. Something of that descrip tion onsht to pay here, as there is abso lutely no place for lovers of the athletic to go and exercise, outside of the Ger man turner societies and T. M. C. A. cyinnasium. The former are exclusive, and the latter has its objectionable points. To make an athletic club a success, however, it will be necessary for the young men to do something be sides talking. They have got to put their shoulder to the wheel and come up •with the lucer, besides do a good deal of hustling. The gymnasium in Minneap olis has never proved a success, and is now floundering about like a ship with out a rudder. The young men in that floury city talked too much, and did nothing else. Prof. Charlie Duplessis tried his level best to keep it above water, but lie found wind unpalatable, and had to give it up. *** There were a lot of astonished sports when the news reached here that Dempsey had been knocked out in the thirty-second round by La Blanche. They could hardly believe it possible that the heretofore invincible "Non pareil" had been defeated. A "chance blow did it they say, and yet those same chance blows win moie fights and make more pugilists than any other kind of blows. It would be well for Pat Killen to cultivate this same chance blow, as he may need it in his fight with McAuliffe. It was one of Pat's uhance blows that laid Patsy Cardiff out so neatly a year ago at Minneapolis. The council may meet, and the peo ple may kick, but Tom Lowry goes on forever. At least, it seems so. Yes terday his workmen were busily en gaged in tearing up Sixth street above Wabasha, • and laying , down rails as fast a.s possible. There were, perhaps, two thousand citizens who stopped and indignantly' watched the proceed ings during the day, but that made no difference. Mr. Lowry's foreman knew his business, and only smiled as he worked. "Who is this Mr. Lowry that everybody is kicking about?" asked a stranger in passing. "Who is Mr. Lowry'"' echoed a bystander, "why he is the owner of St. Paul and Minne apolis. That's who he is." •■•••* W. L. McGrath, the well-known St. Paul horseman, owns a horse which he thinks will prove a world beater. It is the gray stallion Tipperary, by The seus, and first dam Delancy Tramp by Tramp. Tipperary was foaied in 1886 and since his debut as a yearling in the Yearling stakes at the 1887 State Fair, he has won everything. Last year in the Breeder's stakes for two-year-olds, half-mile heats, he won; then in the free-for-all, mile heats, he won again; next he defeated Paul Golzian's stal lion Memnon in a match race, and at the Stillwater races he again won the Maturity Stakes for three-year-olds. McGrath thinks Tipperary a wonder, and will start him again in the Futurity stakes race, at the State Fair next month. IHK LOCAL STAGE OF LIFE. Scarlet fever at -135 Fuller street. There were ten births and seven deaths in die city yerterday. Charles Lang was committed to the Roch ester insane asylum yesterday. '•Twelve Temptations" will occupy the boards of the Newmarket next week. Inspector of Contagious Diseases Link went to Duluth with the Masons as one of tixe escort of musicians.

The llaverly-Cleveland minstrels will pre sent an entirely new programme in songsand specialties at the Newmarket, commencing with this evening. Three eases of diphtheria were reported to the health department yesterday, one al 2UC Smith avenne, one at 280 Ellen street, and ■one at 253 Katnsey street. Auditor ,Braden yesterday reported that the Ilennepin county personal property as sessment for ISB9 was $21,243,240. or'a re duction of $2,115,014 upon that of last .year. Col. M. C. Connors, an extensive range ■cattle owner, of Spearlish. Oak., returned from Chicago yesterday, where he has been supervising the sale of a trainload of his Montana steers. Charles Lange, now undergoing a ninety day workhouse sentence for beating his wife, has got himself in the toils witn a vengeance. An order has been issued that he be examined as to his sanity or the reverse. The examiu •atiou will occur to-day. A narrow escape from a serious conflagra tion was experienced at the old building known as the Mansion house, on Eaton avenue, West side, last evening. The tire was started by the wireless handling of matches, and was extinguisned by the de partment utter a short tussle. Yesterday a horse became frightened while his owner was in a barber shop getting shaved and ran away, boggy attached, helter skelter up Fourth street, dashing into venieles and lelegraj-h poles and smashing a couple of buggies. The horse was caught near Seven corners. The Newsboys' home will be tendered a performance at the Harris theater to-morrow atteruoon, wheu v number of young society ladies will display their abilities in the direc tion of aesthetic gymnastics.

The mayor received a letter from Washing ton City yesterday announcing that a puny of seventy-five of the -most eminent men in Central and South America will arrive at St Paul at 8 o'clock a. m., Oct. 24. The letter intimates that an invitation to take a carriage ride to Fort Suellinp, Miunehaha Falls, and thence to Minneapolis, would not be declined If tendered by the citizens of St. Paul to the Central Americans. THE WORLD REVOLVES And With Each Decade There Is a New Generation of Hustlers. That Is Why a St. Paul Worthy Gets Swallowed in the Vortex. Count Philip de Roehebrune Is a Well-Known Charac ter of Awayback. Now He Languishes, and Will End His Days at the Poor Farm. J. P. Wright, of the board of control, yesterday removed to the county poor farm an old St. Paul landmark in the person of the Count Philip de Koehe brune. For many years the count has been growing poorer and poorer finan cially; and, although he held a notary public's commission, his physical in firmities militated against his keeping up with the new generation of hustlers, and he decided to rusticate. The count is famous for his legal battles, some of which are alluded to as unique. He once picked up a i I) bill which some laborer had dropped in the city treasurer's office, and, when compelled to give it up, threatened to sue the City Treasurer lieis for damages. In olden times it cost money to cross the Wabasha street bridge. The count, wishing to economize, jumped upon a farmer's wagon, but was required to pay toll. He sued the toll-taker for the sure of 10 cents, and carried the case to the supreme court,where he triumphed. Another remarkable piece of legal warfare was the case of the count against Dr. Kobinson,to recover a meer schaum pipe on a verbal contract. The doctor had promised to present the count with a line meerschaum pipe if his lord ship would abstain from the use of to bacco in any form for a whole year. At the end of the trial the pipe was claimed and the suit brought, but this time De Kochebrune was defeated, Dr. Kohinson contriving to prove that the pla ntiff had used whisky which had been adulterated with nicotine. Another historical contest was that between the count and a prominent Col lege avenue lady, since" married, the count claiming 150,000 damages for breach of proniise. The promise was implied rather than expressed, the count alleging that the lady had smiled on him, and thereby encouraged him to believe that she wanted to marry him. He was given the choice of with drawing his suit or defending himself against a charge of insanity. Count de Kochebrutne came within an ace of being elected mayor of St. Paul, under peculiar circumstances. John S. Prince had received the nom ination of both Republicans and Demo crats, and a number of old citizens said: "Look here, the Prince has both nominations. Let some of us run the count/ So, just to relieve the mo notony, people began to deposit their ballots for De Kociiebrune, and he had polled several hundred votes when the friends of the regular nominee took alarm and turned out in force, and just in time to save the city. In olden times the count bought a corner at Virginia and Dayton avenues, paying 82,400"f0r property now worth $75,000, and it has been the general be lief that he must be worth considerable money. AND YET PKOPLE TALiK. There were no developments yester day in the Curtiss-St. Peter hospital charges. Secretary Hart is still wait ing for documents. This is a most preposterous way of conducting state business. Nearly a week aao grave charges were publicly alleged against the conduct of St. Peter asylum authorities— charges which, if true, demand the most search intr investigation on the part of the chief executive of the state. To-day the report is made that nothing definite has been done to fathom the truth of the alleged outrage. The people of the state require that its public institutions should be above suspicion, and they will certainly pro test against the delay in investigating the grave story accredited to St. Peter's hospital. The duty of Secretary Hart, as the representative of Gov. Merriam, is not to wait for documents. Ho should personally visit the father of the girl and at once obtain the data upon which he bases the serious complaints filed against prominent state officials. This dilly-dallying, while one person sees another individual to get him to supply information to a third party, is entirely beneath the dignity of a business administration. If it con tinues much longer, citizens will begin to inquire the need of a state board of corrections and charities and hiirhly paid officials. AUGUST FESTIVITY. Parties and Hops— Sociability of the Late Summer. A large number of you us people gath ered last evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Tenvoorde on Filmore avenue on the West side, the occasion being a social hop given to the lady and gentlemen friends of the young couple. The Misses Katie and A lite Uu Bord, sisters of the hostess, were the recep tion committee, and after the list of invited miests had all arrived, an ad journment was taken to the room pre pared for dancing. Among the ladies present were Misses Kate Mullally, Julia Carroll, Estelle Davis, Mary Lynch, Julia Ryan, May Gibbons, Emma Beennan, May Beerman. Kay Gregg. Gertie Montgomery, Nellie Hart igan, Julia Anderly, and many others accompanied by their escorts. Dancing and music were kept up until a late hour, the affair beinsr voted a complete success by all who were present. The entertainment for the benefit of the Newsboys' home, to be given at the Harris theater Friday afternoon, will be the most unique performance ever given in St. Paul. Few people realize the beauties and resources of the Del sartean school of gesturing and bodily posing. The young ladies who take pan will endeavor, under the able di rection of Mrs. T. J. Preece, to give a thorough insight into what may be ac complished by this system of physical culture. Another feature of the affair will be the rendition of an entire scene from Gluck's classic opera, "Orpheus and Eurydice." Miss Mac Murphy will sine the part of Orpheus and appears in costume. The residence of Mrs. J. G. Stout, on Cli.iton avenue, West side, was invaded last evening by ladies of the Williard W. ('. T. U.. who stayed to tea and aft wards spent a very pleasant evening. The Ladies' Society of the Clinton Av enue church will give a tea in the vestry of the church this evening. The closing hop at Leip's hotel. White Bear, will occur Saturday evening, and will take the form of a complimentary gathering to Miss Jenkins, who has ef ficiently performed the function of di rectress of the season now drawing to an end. The Grace M. E. church, Burr street, will have a watermelon social to-night. A generous plate of watermelons for all. also other attractions. Everybody in vited. A union picnic of the A. O.

Canine Jumping-Off Place, and How It Operates. - - Since the burning last spring of -the rendering works at the Milwaukee short line bridge, all dead animals hauled away from St. Paul have been buried in a trench upon thclevee on opposite aide of the river, a few miles below the city. This burial ground for dumb animals is located near the old Mainzer farm, and receives during the summer an average of thirty-five carcasses of horses and cattle per month. The number of dogs interred is about twenty-five per month. But the dogs do not all arrive in the shape of corpses. Many of them are converted into burying material after arriving on the iield. Last night witnessed the execution of a kennel of twenty dogs at one swoop. They were placed in a large crate and swung outward with a crane over the river: The crate was. then lowered into the Water, arid as it sank beneath the surface- there were a few bubbles and aIJ was over, or rather, under. Ex periments have shown that it requires; six minutes to drown a puppy, while the vital spark can be extinguished in an old dog in four minutes. The dogs are kept twenty-four hours before being exterminated, to give their fond owners a chance Ito redeem them ; but it often happens that fine-bred dogs have to be drowned hecause of not being claimed., Sometime in October the Mertz system will go into operation, and -the four-: footed unfortunates will be worked up by an odorless" process into a palatable grade of salad oil. . '. ... .';• ; : ' HE'LL BON THE ERMINE. .. - Attorney C. E. Otis Selected to Fill the Vacant Judgesbip. A PARTISAN MAN. Judge Vilas Successor Has the Good Will and Confidence of All Public Hen. Attorney. Charles Otis was yester day selected to fill the vacancy created on the Ramsey county bench by .the death of Judge Vilas. 3 - " '■'-" The appointment is an excellent one. In making the selection thus early, Gov. Merriam was solely influenced by the congested state of the courts and the fact that they will open Monday .first. He has acted from a non-partisan stand point, and there has not been the least, action brought to bear upon his excel lency in Mr. Otis' behalf. The appoint ment was a spontaneous one by the governor, and it is one which will com mend itself to the attorneys and - the public alike. ' ; '.'- '■' '..-,. Judge Otis is a Michigan man. He first saw the light of day in Barry county, away back in '46, and is one of a family of eleven. His parents were pioneers in Michigan, and the blossom ing years of his life were spent on the farm, working in summer and attend-; ing the district school in winter. From a school teacher, he forced his way to college, in 1881 entering the freshman's class at Ann Arbor University. Five years later he graduated with honors. William Otis secured the position of su perintendent of schools at La Port, Ind., which he held two years, and, in 1871. came to St. Paul, where he entered as a student the law office of his brother, George L. Otis. He was admitted to the bar, 1873, and was taken into partnership by his brother, ; who died in 1883. A. E. Otis, another; brother, then of Chicago, came to St. Paul and became the partner of Judge Otis, the two constituting the firm up to the present time. The judge is not en tirely new to public life. He was a member of the common council five years and an inspector of the city schools for one term. He was elected to both the positions as a non-partisan in poli tics. The Otis family have a predilec tion for the bar. Out of eight brothers, five are attorneys, and Charles' acces sion to the bench completes the trio holding judicial positions. Judge Otis married, in 1874, Miss Libble N. Kamson, daughter of ex-Gov. Kansom, of Kalamazoo, Mich. ..' V"f : . THREATS BY THEODORE : Cause Ida to Sue for Divorce.— Various Court Troubles. Ida Kieren brings an action for. di vorce from Theodore Kieren. The couple were married at Milwaukee in 1878. The wife asserts that habitual" drunkenness and inhuman treatment are the causes for the divorce. Her complaint cites one iustance where Kieren came home drunk and brutally assaulted her while she was sick in bed. He also pulled a revolver trom his pocket and threatened to shoot her. L. A.

THE CITY COURT -. '' .-.-_, Deals Summarily With Those Who Fracture Laws, , . The case of the Norwegian, Swen Evgen, charged with incest, was partly tried yesterday morning, and was theu continued until to-day. Henry Johns appears for the defendant. William Leip, of White Bear Lake, charged with, selling liquor without a license, was held to the grand jury, his bail being fixed at -*500. Mary Doyle, of the Arlington house, near Fort Snelliug, was arrested for the sixth time on the charge of selling liquor without a license. She was locked up in jail. Her case will be heard this morning. Andrew Jackson, of Union Park, ar rested on a similar charge, forfeited his bail of $100. Emma Eastman was fined $25 for stealing 86.50 from J. Barrett in the female tonsorial establishment of Mrs. Kennedy. Barrett was sent up for three months for visitiusr a barber shop of ill fame, and Mrs. Kennedy would have shared the same fate for keeping the said barber shop had not the court suspended her sentence. Joseph Thompson laid up three rub ber coats for a rainy day. As he se cured them "by purchase criminal," he has gone to cultivate the woodbine for three moons. Ole Taylor, an old army boy, charged "with failure to support his family, was grauted a continuance of three weeks. This will enable him to join the G. A.

" A Grand Illustration of Yan kee Skill, Ingenuity and Endurance. Missionary Effort Among" the Japs— Notes and Comment About Town. W. H. Thompson, of the Edgar Thompson Steel works, Philadelphia, was in the city yesterday, and in con versation with a Globe reporter as to the condition of the iron trade, said that the outlook for an immense fall trade was improving daily. "The same may be said of the iron trade the world over," continued Mr. Thompson. "Bel gian, French and especially English trade is lively, yet does not seem to in terfere with the demand here. The Belgian rail rolling mills are pretty well employed, although they have found difficulty in accepting orders for prompt delivery, and several large contracts leaked through their hands to ours. We received an order last week for 12,000 tons of steel rails for the French Hanoverian Railway company last week, on account of our ability to turn out the work in short order. Talking about turning out steel rails, the order our works turned out for the Pennsyl vania Railway company, immediately after the Jehnstown disaster, was, 1 sup pose, as fast a thing as has ever been done anywhere. The order was a per emptory one, for 1,000 tons of steel rails to b« delivered at Johnstown the next day. The rails were to replace those washed away by the floods and there was the most urgent necessity for rapid delivery. The order had to be besiun from raw material, the rolls had to be changed, but just the same the rails were made, loaded and shipped in twenty-four hours, and in thirty-six hours from the receipt of the order the rails were on the side track at their destination seventy miles away. Capt. H. J. May, who has been for many years and still is acting British consul at Suakin, was in the city for a few hours yesterday. Capt. May, in company with his wife and daughter, is en route to San Fraucisco for a visit to his brother, a merchant in that city. The party have spent the past two months in New York and the East, and will visit points of interest, including the Yellowstone, on the way to the coast. The captain talks interestingly of the island city in which he has made his home for many years past, and says that although no very decided improve ment in the trade of the country can be chronicled for the past year, owing to the wars which have been going on con tinually, the extinction of Osman Diana's power would improve matters, provided that no local sheik undertook^ to succeed the intrepid Arab leader.^ The total value of imports last year' was £101,576 against £94,282 in 1887;; This increase, however, is deceptive,, as regards general trade, the im ports of food and other articles for the garrison alone showing au in'H crease of £16,000, or considerably more£ than the increase in the total of imports. The exports from Suakin declined int value from £11,704 to £4,740 last year.J "There is," says the captain, "a regret table revival in the slave trade where, the coast is temporarily under ltal-" ian surveillance south of Ras Kas sor, and the collisions between the slav-. ing parties and dervishes keep- the. country in a continual state of turmoil. There is hope, however, that the influx of American and English merchants, which has been Tatge during the past year, will have the effect of settling trade, and that the once thriving town will regain its former prosperity. Noth ing would have a greater tendency to extinguish the slave trade than the in crease of legitimate trade conducted by the Banians with such minor ports as Halail, Rowezzah and Agig, and to this end the European and American mer chants are striving." Rev. W. B. Laird, of Topeka, Kan., who has been for the Dast seven years engaged hi missionary work in Japan, was in the city yesterday. He has re turned to his - native land on account of failing health, and will leave for Topeka this evening. "The American and Eng lish missionaries," says Mr. Laird, "have been the means of working a wonderful change in the natives of Jess civilized portions of the country, thoutrh they have been severely handi capped in their efforts by the example set the Japs by the whites, who are yearly becoming thicker. The spectacle of a drunkeu American or English sailor rolling along the streets is hardly the thing to carry the Impression to the minds of the natives that their white brethren practice what they preach. The people are quick to take up with modern vices, and can scarcely be made to understand that the drunken or vicious white man is not a repre sentative of his race. The employment of dynamite tor the purpose of commit ting outratre has also made its way into Japan. Some time before I was com pelled to leave the country the Higashi Hongwangi, the famous temple of Kioto, had been restored, and among other presents sent to celebrate the restoration were 500 wax candles. Two days after the receipt of the presentone of the candles was lighted, and almost immediately exploded with a loud re port, filling the burning building with smoke and flame. The costly and beautiful ceiling decorations were ut terly ruined and the building seriously damaged. An examination showed that all the candles were filled with dyna mite. The sender of the present has so far escaped discovery." THK M'CLASKY ESTATE Not Divulged by the Will— A Itu- : nior Denied. The will of the late David McClasky v has been filed in the probate court, and according to its provisions the heirs are his wife, Helen: his mother, Eliza; his sisters, Julia McClasky, Frankie Gale, ' Adelie Hunger, and Maggie Simmons, and his brother, John. With the ex ception of the widow, each of the heirs is bequeathed $4,000, the remainder of the estate going to Mrs. Helen McClasky. As, however, the in strument was made in 1872, and the property of the deceased has changed considerably since then, a schedule of his belongings at the time of his death could not be procured from the will. Mrs. McClasky, in her petition for the appointment of an executor, states that her husband's estate was valued at -575, --000, and that his liabilities do not amount to over $15,000. Manager Mclntyre denies a rumor that the McClasky'interest in the Hotel Ryan has been purchased by E. T. Mehl, of the Hotel Lafayette, at Minne tonka. The estate or" Col. McClasky and Mr. Mclntyre are the owners of the furnishings of the Ryan, the hotel being the property of Denuis Ryan. Beginning of the End. According to Observer Lyons the weather will be cooler to-day. Tuesday night at Caleary and Medicine Hat, in the Canadian Northwest, freezing point was reached. John Puzzles tbe Judge. United States District Attorney Bax ter is in receipt of a letter from Judge McCluer, of Stillwater, askine his opinion in reference to admitting Chinamen to citizenship. Judge Mc- Cluer states that a number of Celestials have applied to him for ■ citizenship papers, and he is at loss how. to act in -the matter. The district attorney has taken the matter under advisement. * CIiEARIiY A SCHEME . ; ITo Affect the Cattle Interest of Minnesota. ' ,; ■■ - j A prominent cattleman who returned : froni Chicago yesterday said: "It was claimed in Chicago that a carload ot lump-jaw cattle from St. Paul had been found there. : It finally dwindled down ; to the condemnation of ten head that were claimed to be lumpy-jawed. lam inclined to think that there has been an attempt to put up a job on Minnesota in this instance, for it would be a foolhardy, act for any Minnesota cattleman to put ■fen, or even five head of lumpy-jawed cattle in with a carload and send them \o Chicago, Kansas City, St. : Paul, or any other cattle market. The diseased cattle either did not come from Minne sota, or cisc it was a preconcerted effort to affect the cattle interests of the state." _________ - . -■■ | ; A Medical Point. ■ [ Considerable interest was evinced by the medical men of the city yesterday in a case before udge Cory, in which Dr. Henry Roman, of White Bear, sued Ed- ward A. liobert to recover $500 for med ical services rendered. The fact that the doctor had failed to file his certifi cate with the clerk of the district court, as provided by sections 3 f and 4of tho Code .of 1877, was the ground upon which an adverse decision was rendered. Not more than half a dozen physicians in the state have complied with the law in this regard, and the clerk will have all the business he can handle for some time as a result of the decision.
