THE GLOBE'S Handsome Minneapolis Build -1112: Speaks Louder Than Empty Protestations of Loyalty. VOL. XI. CARVALHO'S THEORY. Why the Expert Thinks Ex hibit A Has a Genuine Signature. Slight Variations in Signa tures Additional Evidence of Genuineness. Mr. Carvalho Delivers a Long Lecture on the Blaisdell Signatures. After Which the Court Ad journs to Monday at 10 O'Clock. At the opening of court yesterday j morning i" the Collom case, Mr. Car valho, the leading expert for the de fense, took the stand, and the work of introducing photographic copies of the admitted genuine, and alleged forged Signatures was renewed. "We would like to see each of those exhibits in the order of their presenta tion," said County Attorney Jamison. "Certainly," replied Mr. Wilson, ana he proceeded to hand them over to the prosecution one by one as they were of fered.with Mr. BlaisdeU's answer noted on the back of each. One by one they were passed in, and the whole forenoon was consumed in the work, without coming to a conclusion at the hour of adjournment. At 2p. m. the court re assembled and Mr. Carvalho resumed the witness stand. He was sur rounded by photographic copies of Mr. BlaisdeU's signatures from the natural size up to 525 diameters. These photographs included the name ot "J. T. Blaisdell," "John T. Blaisdell," parts of the signatures, letters and parts of letters, etc. Mr. Carvalho plunged at once into a scientific description of the process by which they were made in New York. According to Ins testi mony they are what are known among photographers as albertypes. as dis tinguished from plain photographs and bromide plates. Mr. Carvalho claimed that the chief distinguishing feat ure consisted in the fact that they were permanent photographs, not subject to change, while the exhibits of the state were different aud ephemeral In character. So the weary work went on. Photograph after photograph was offered in evidence and an interest ing discussion ensued as to the manner of" the preparation. The prosecution objected to some of them because they were made by the "gelatine process" which, it was claimed, was not a certain and exact method of reproduction, but Judge Hooker decided that the jury was the sole judge of that fact, and so they were admitted in evidence except one or which were admitted by the defense to be photographs of photographs, and they were withdrawn. When this had all been settled, Mr. Carvalho was asked whether, in his opinion, the sig nature of J. T. Blaisdell, as written on the back of exhibit A, the signature in dispute, was written by the same per sou who wrote the other signatures, which are admitted to be genuine. To this question Mr. Carvalho returned an unhesitating "yes." "Now, Mr. Carvalho," said Mr. Wil son in his blandest tones, "will yon tell the jury the reasons which led you to this conclusion?" This question struck Mr. Carvalho in the mouth, so to speak, and he rose up, faced the iury and proceeded to deliver a lecture upon the signatures and parts of signatures. Commencing" with the nose on the left hand side of the J, he pursued the subject through all of its ramifications, pointing out the charac teristics in which the alleged forged signature differed from those admitted to be genuine, and winding up each pe riod with this declaration: "So, gen tlemen, 1 claim that this departure from the characteristic of the genuine signature indicates that it is not a forgery, but an additional proof that it is genuine." So it continued, from the J to the T, then to the B, followed by the I, the a, the i, the s, the d, the c, the next to the last 1, and the last 1 itself: Whenever there was a departure from the charac teristics of the genuine signature. Mr. Carvalho claimed that it was an indica tion of genuineness and not of forgery. Turning to the other branch of the sub ject, Mr. Carvalho claimed to have dis covered in the admitted genuine signa tures every singularity which had been found in the alleged forged signa ture. He turned the photographs upside down, cornerways, and every other way. It was a grand success, and Mr. Carvalho demonstrated that he was an expert of experts. By the time he finished it was 5 o'clock, and Judge Hooker announced that the court would meet hereafter at lo o'clock a. m., and continue in session until Ip. m., ad journ for one hour, meet at 2 p. m., and continue in session until sp. m. On Monday morning the cross-examination of Mr. Carvalho will commence. THE PARK COMMISSION Discounts Retrenchment and Re form, and Buys More Land. At the regular meeting of the park board yesterday the committee on desig nation of grounds, to which was referred the matter of coming to some under standing with J. C. and H.T.Wells, who own the land adjoining Central park, which the board contemplated purchasing without going through the process of condemnation, reported that they could not make any compromise with the Messrs. Taylor, and asked to be relieved from any further considera tion of the matter. The committee on finance, to whom was * referred the purchase of grounds between Lakes Calhoun and Harriet now owned by Messrs. Dean and Enland, reported in favor of paying Mr. Dean $55,000 for twenty-four acres aud Mr. Enland $36, --000 for the tract owned by him. The money tc be paid on the ten-year Install ment plan already adopted by the board. The committee on finance recommended that the report of the appraisers for Fowderhorn park, submitted at the last meeting of the board be adopted, and that the award of the appraisers on plats 2 and i, .lots 84 aud 32, hy__o__£g Lawrence & Reeves' outlying lots be increased from $BSS to £$_}<•, and the award of $4,155 for the plot taken from J. R. Blaisdell be increased to $4,500, which was adopted. M. W. Brown and others presented a protest against the enlargement of Cen tral park, and the citizens of South Minneapolis asked that the park board should abandon the proposed purchase of Elwell's park, and instead widen Btiuson avenneand Division street. "A MOTHER-IN-LAW" Is What Bothered Ernest K. Head in His Domestic Relations. Ernest K. Head filed an answer yes terday in the complaint of his wife, Ella L. Head, In which she asks for a ~fc divorce and alimony on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Mr. Head's answer tends to bring the mat ter to a head, so to sneak, lie alleges that the difficulty is a bad case of mother-in-law; that, at the request of his wife he took up his residence with her mother, Mrs. Hat Thomas, there suit of which was a great deal of trou ble; that his wife has an uncontrollable temper; that she abandoned him and took with tier much of his property, In cluding a number of negatives, which she retained in a smashed and unrecog nizable condition, and in other respects so conducted herself as to render life a burden and convince him that marriage is a failure. He, therefore, asks that Mrs. Head's suit be dismissed, and that she be refused a divorce. *J UST com*: DO WN. The Time for Putting Wires Un der Ground Near at Hand. The ordinance providing for the plac ing of electric wires tinder ground glVoe the various colhpanies until Nov. 1 to accomplish this result, In spite of con siderable hustling it is evident that the time must be extended. The . Dorse J its A MORNING LUNCH. conduit is in, two and a half miles of conduit having been laid, and the Edi son company has laid as much more,* while the Telephone company, which has just started in, will have about a mile and a half of conduit laid by Nov. 1. Even if the extension afterwards is found necessary, the time is apparently at hand when the unsightly telegraph poles will disappear from the streets in the business center of Minneapolis. The horses that have got accustomed to a diet of telegragh poles must soon be learning to curb their appetites. This can -be accomplished most quickly by the use of curb-bits probably, but at any rate their owners should begin now to gradually ween them by accustoming them to "chew on the corners of soap boxes and flour barrels in front of gro cery stores, and so educate their stom achs by slow degrees to the acceptance of hay and other, sustenance on which herbivorous animals have been known to live in countries that have no tele graph poles. mm/ lS__}p.JJ_r___^^ AND ITS RESULTS. The spectacle of a sedate and elderly dray horse quietly gnawing down a tel egraph pole upon which linemen are at work will soon be only a memory. There will be other benefits to the public to be realized from the elimina tion of telegraph poles from the streets. The fire department will now be able to occasionally reach the upper or top stories of buildings witb ladders In cases of ijonflagrations. There will be less liability to accidents from electric shocks, but the most immediate relief i will be the disappearance of the tele : graph pole free lunch route for horses j only. DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS. The National Oil company, of Lima. 0., brought suit yesterday against the St. Paul Gas Light company on a breach of contract in regard to the purchase of 5,000,000 gallons of oil at 3J£ cents per gallon, It is claimed that after the de fendants had received six cars of oil they refused to receive any more, on the ground that they had no more storage room, and afterwards rescinded the con tract. Judgment is asked for $54,168. The Sidle-Fetcher-Holmes company commenced a suit yesterday against the Minneapolis Mill company to determine the ownership of certain mill power privileges. Ihe plaintiffs claim to be the owners of twenty-seven mill powers in Minneapolis through various convey ances and purchases, while they have been furnished with less than seven powers; that they were notified by the defendants to shut down to one power on Oct. 26. They ask for a decree giv ing them the right to use seven powers, and that the defendants be restrained from interfering with them to that ex tent. AMUSEMENTS. As has already been announced In these columns, Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter will give a farewell reading on Thursday afternoon next, at Harris' theater, prior to her departure for the East. The house should, and will doubtless be crowded, as the price for reserved seats, 50 cents, Is an unusually popular one, considering the programme. The managers of the various theaters from this city and St. Paul will act as ushers; the reception committee will consist of members of the press, and a number of prominent society ladies will sell bou tonnieres for Miss Potter's benefit. The Elks, Morgan Drum corps, Pickwick club and others will assist the lady, Judge Rea presiding. "The Spider and Fly," a pantomimic, melodramatic extravaganza, by Gill and Frazer. will be seen at the Harris thea ter within a fortnight, in which Bessie Cleveland, Hilda Thomas, Pauline MarKham, Louise Allen, Ada Dare and a host of pretty women will assist. Following the Duff Opera company at Harris' theater, comes Deuman Thomp son's beautiful New England idyl, "The Old Homestead," with all the original scenery, effects, etc., as played in New York city. SAINT PAUL MINN., SUNDAY MORNING,' NOVEMBER 3. SIXTEEN PAGES. THE NEW POSTOFFICE It Will Be Open to the Public Wednesday Morning Next. An Outline of the Arrange ment of the Handsome Structure. A Brief Historical Review of the Minneapolis Post office. The Removal an Event Looked | Forward to These Many Years. Next Wednesday morning the mail that comes into Minneapolis will be taken to the new postoffiee building, at the corner of First avenue south and Third street, and from there it will be carried out by the gray-coated fellows who are always welcome, no matter how blue the day or uncomfortable the weather. In the same magnificent quar ters the disdainful postage stamp girl will deal out miniature George Wash ington portraits backed with mucilage. At last is she to be enthroned in quar ters worthy of her haughty beauty. She, with the rest of the Minneapolis public, has been waiting a long time to climb the marble stairs to the new postoffiee, and finaily the opportunity will be given. It was hoped that a public reception could be given to-morrow afternoon; but, owing to delay in the arrival of furniture, it has been decided to post pone the event for some weeks to come, for Postmaster Ankeny wants to show the postoffiee complete in its entirety, and does not propose to be taken at a disadvantage. p___T stent r IffS'Tltl) a m .. \ otter* icirr/jj Sa*—*"t)f ' 1 *S'\fSiJt^M — ■ ' .'— 1 n,.m 'carr_d.ii' " .

The postoffiee building has been de scribed as to arrangement and architect ure so many times in the Glohe and elsewhere that it is by this time familiar to all Minneapolis people. In this re gard, suffice it to say that it is a mag nificent edifice of Ohio sandstone, ele gantly finished in marble and hard wood; built at a cost of nearly $700,000. As a public building of universal use, the arrangement will doubtless be of interest. The plan given above gives the points of interest, omitting the minor details that might confuse. The entrance from Third street brings one immediately to the various deliveries. The First avenue entrance opens on the rows of lock boxes, while the rooms of Postmaster Ankeny and Assistant-Post master Hughes are just to the right on entering. An especially noticeable ac commodation in the new building is the carriers' Sunday delivery windows. ! These are indeed blessings to the man who jumps into a few clothes on Sunday morning and rushes up town to get the mail between 9 and 10 o'clock. Each window is labeled with the districts it represents, and while Dr. Burrell will probably never call for his mail at these windows, there will be no lack of those who will. '"■.•: 7Y Postmaster J. J. Ankeny, who has the honor of being the -first postmaster to have charge of the new building, held his first position in the Minneapo lis postoffiee as early as the year 1854, when his brother. W. P. Ankeny, was post master. He has held his present position since July 3, ISB6. The work done by a postoffiee at dif ferent periods in its history is an excellent criteri on of the growth of the town. In 1853 mail was left once in a long mL#m4y *\J.cßrrf^, while at Fort Snelling. In 1854 Dr. Hezekiah Fletcher was made postmas ter in the town of St. Anthony, and went over to St. Paul once a week after the mail, which he carried about in his hat, distributing it as he met his neigh bors. Carlox Wilcox succeeded Dr. Fletcher, and the postoffiee was located at the corner of Washington avenue and Eighth avenue south. The first official statement of work was. made by Dr. Fletcher, covering a period from March 29 to June 30. 1854. The receipts amounted to §7.79. The income in 1872 was $30,844.76, in 1880 it was $82,994.92, last year it was §292,280, a considerable increase in thirty-five years. The force in the postoffiee department has increased proportionately in that T.mu£hl^J/ period of time. A capable and efficient post master in the person of T. E. Hughes aids Postmaster An keny in the du ties of the de partment. Mr. Hughes has been connected with the Minnesota offices since 1562 and with the Minneapolis of fice since 1870. There are in ad dition to these two "" gentlemen ISO employes in connection with the Minneapolis postoffiee. The new build ing has been awaited for along time, and the removal to b*» made within the week will bring the department into one of the most complete buildings of the kind in tne United States. Keep in Mind The fact that Bradstreet, Thurber & Co., Minneapolis, sell goods on the in stallment plan to all desirable parties without additional charge to regular prices. POLICE COURT NOTES. Benjamin Barry, an expressman, who lived at 2429 Fifteenth avenue south, was ordered to vacate by his landlord;' P. W. Van Ness, after he had paid up his rent for last month. He was pleased with his quarters, and refused to com ply, but finally concluded to do so. Van Ness claims that when Barry moved he. smeared soot on the walls and other wise disfigured the house, and had him arrested. -'. -'<:?.
