MINNEAPOLIS. Additional City News on Page 6. AND STILL THEY COME The Expo and Pompeii Spec tacle Attract Enormous Crowds. Phonographs to Be Heard by Telephone—lnteresting 1 Experiments. Two Reunions of Veterans Held Yesterday and Two To-Day. P. W. McGrath Found Guilty of Embezzlement—Jubi lant Democrats. It has grown to be so much a matter of sourse that large crowds attend the Exposi tion that the directors have ceasea to wonder it the immense attendance and complacently look on while the throng gathers and fills gallery and floor all through the afternoon and evening. Yesterday was no exception to the rule, especially in the evening, at which time the people flock to the building to see the many sights and especially the lower, which, of course, only flashes its brilliant hues in the night time." Many of the risitors from the country remained aver, and, of course, spent their Say in another visit to the great show, probably from the fact that they had failed to see it all in one day. Yes terday the visitors were treated to a lesson in the working of that wonderful new machine Df Thomas A. Edison's, that transmits hand writing any number of miles by the aid of an electric current. The person desiring to sign the check, or whatever else it may be, has little to do. A piece of paper, specially pre pared, is handed to them, and the writing done in the ordinary way. It is then placed tn the little electric contrivance, the current turned on, and, in some mysterious way the person's own handwriting is reproduced at the other end of the line. It is certainly a perfect little forger, for the signatures are exact reproductions of the original, and show the wonderful mechanism that must be employed to give Buch splendid results. The machine furnishes a vast amount of interest for all, and especially for those interested in such mat ters. People have just found out that there is considerable to interest them in the hatchers and breeders, on the third floor. In these little modern machines can be seen the eggs as they aie hrst placed in, and then chickens In all stages. In fact, they are hatching out Every day. for the machines are far more faith ful than the average hen. who is not infallible &s regards time limit and often either takes too long a time at her morning repast, or leaves the eggs in disgust, but a short time oefore they are matured. Here all that is necessary is an even temperature and a dry place, and the result is wonderful, as there ire few eggs that do not hatch. The cute little things can be seen but a few hours old, md from that up to those almost large enough to make first-rate broilers. Large crowds of interested people visit this ex hibit daily. dii the second floor there is a fine collection of Japanese and East Indian curi»sities. There are paintings and specimens of the handiwork of these Eastern races, and also an image of Buddha claimed to have been Stolen from a temple in Lower India. There Ib also another image taken from a temple at Mandelay, the capital of Upper Burmah. It Is made of alabaster, the head being in urusted in pearls, and is quite valuable. There is a large vase of rare workmanship from the sacred city of Benares, on the Ganges. Of course the manufacturing features are tull of interest, as there are many who are not conversant with the manner in which flifferent commodities are made. The cigar makers, electric welders, candy manufactur ers, electric cooking, scroll sawing, turning, printing, and a host of other things interest die people from day to day, and form an in- Itructive feature. The various displays IN MEMORY OF THE BATTLEFIELD. PAIN'S LAST DAYS OF POMPEII!

Don't miss this occasion, Pompeii will be seen in no other city in the Northwest. Reserved Seats at Century Pi ano Company's, 322 Nicollet Avenue. made by local musical firms are especially noteworthy, and it is a great temptation for the amateur musician to touch the polished keys of the benutif vi instruments of all pos sible makers and woods, and possibly the wish comes that the old one at home could be replaced by one ot the gloßsy beauties -, Au arrangement has been made with the Bell lelephone company that is unique in its way. For fifteen minutes each evening the Edison phonographs at the Exposition will be connected with the central station by special wire, and subscribers in both Minne apolis and St. Paul can have the splendid music of Gilmore's band. etc.. transmitted to their own residences, where they can have a party of people assembled to enjoy the novel entertainment. This is a feature that has never been tried heretofore, and will doubtless prove a vast fund of amusement. The perfected plan, together with instructions for the connections, also the stated hours for the electric concerts will be published shortly hi the Globe. The Exposition management has other surprises In store for the public, which will be made public as soon as perfected. To-day is specially set apart for the G. A. R. Mr. Reeves has'arranged a special pro gramme for their benefit. Another Large Crowd. The attendance in the evening at the Pain spectacle, although not quite as large as that of the evening before, was still farcin excess of what it had been at any time up to Mon day. The display was fully up to the stand ard, the set pieces being of rich designs and brilliant in color. The grotesque figures were greeted with as hearty a reception as at the former displays, and the laughter at their entries was as hearty as is ever brought forth by a popular comedian. It seems as i f the public never would get tired of those brilliant pyrotechnics, for they at tend repeatedly and apparently lor the sole purpose of seeing the fireworks. The management of the affair seem to appreciate the patronage it is receiv ing, and the chemists are kept working night and day to prepare new features in colors and design for the people, who certainly are appreciating the feast for the eye that is be ing given to them each day. There are but a few evenings more in which to see this spec tacle, as it will leave shortly, and the public should take advantage ot what little time re main* To-day being a G. A. R. day, some special designs in huge set pieces have been manufactured for the benefit of the veterans, which will form a part of to-nizhfs fire works. Another immense attendance is ex pected.

Hain't seen you for a dog's age. How be ye anyhow." Howdy, Jim; glad t 1 see yer. Ye'r lookiii' jdst 's well 's ye did when Lee s'rendered." Those, and similar ones, were the most common forms of salutation in Minneapolis yesterday, on Nicollet avenue, on Hennepin avenue, on Washington avenue, in the hotel lobbies, in the Ehposition building corridors. The old soldiers had come to town to see the circus, the big Exposition and the State Fair, and to again clasp one another by the hand, to retell the old stories, to again laugh at the old jokes, to discuss the state of ihe country, and to sadly shake their heads at the men tion of some brother veteran who has been recently called to the great beyond. There were two reunions yesterday— the Second regiment of Minne sota volunteers in the council chamber of the city hall, and the Second Minnesota batten on the seventh floor of the Masonic temple. About 150 of the old fellows who followed the flag of the Second Minnesota, some of them with long white whiskers and no hair, and some of them with long white hair and no whiskers, gathered on the third floor of the city hall and re-unionated all afternoon. A pleasant feature was the presentation by Gen. J. W. Bishop, of St. Paul, to each of the survivors of the Second Minnesota there present of a copy of the history of the Sec ond regiment, published by authority of the state. Then the old officers of the regimental association were elected as follows: Presi dent, Gen. J. W. Bishop: vice president, Thomas Downs; secretary and treasurer. Col. A. R. Kiefer. The committee on the erection of a monument to the regiment's first commanding officer. Col. James George, re ported that $500 had been collected, so the committee was authorized to go ahead and erect a monument over Col. George's grave at Rochester. Business over, the local com mittee of entertainment conducted the vet erans to the Guaranty Loan restaurant for supper. In the evening a camp fire was held in the council chamber, and, as in the after noon, Tom Downs was everywhere making every one feel at home. Mayor Babb welcomed the regiment to Minneapolis, and Bpeech.es were also made by Judge John P. Rea, Judge J. O. Pierce, Chaplain Jacob Gleason and E. E. Corliss, of Fergus Falls. Next year's re union will probably be held at Rochester, Grand Special Performance To-Night, on the Minneapolis Exposition Grounds, of the Superb Spectacle, Special Fireworks Have Been Prepared With Which to Celebrate in One THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MOKjSTING. fctfPMMBER 11, 1890. when the monument to Col. George will be dedicated. Dr. W. A. Spauldiner was the busiest man in the city yesterday afternoon. The doctor is tne secretary of the association of the sur vivors of those who handled the big gun 6in the Second Minnesota battery, whose, re union occurred in Masonic Temple. The in defatigable secretary had prepared a neat souvenir which was presented to each visitor. It was a miniature canteen, cord, corJt and covering complete. On the covering which was of red felt, were the words: "We drank from the same canteen,*' and attached to the cord by a dainty ribbon was Dr. Spaulding's card, and on one side a stanza from the song which the canteen so significantly calls to mind. Secaetary Spaulding read a sketch or history of the organization made up from the minutes of previous meet ings. He noted the points ot inter est in the meeting from 1884, when the asso ciation was formed. Letters were read from absent comrades expressing their regret at being unable to be present. The soldiers en- Joyed a camp fire late in tne afternoon, and in the evening the following officers were elected: President. R. D. Bloomfield: vice president. J. H. Arnull ; secretary and treas urer, Dr. \V. A. Spau'.ding. The association then adjourned to meet In 1891, during State Fair week. Creamy Styles.

McGrath, a local insurance man who was arrested a few days ago, charged with the embezzlement of $20* from Annie Nolan, had his hearing in the municipal court yes terday morning. According to the com plainant, McGrath, who was a friend of the family, negotiated a loan of $ 1,000 for her a year ago, ana $225 more, which sum she un derstood was to be paid to Kellv Bros, as se curity for the interest on the loan. She un derstood that tho interest on the $800. and a'so that on $200 that McGrath owed her, at 8 and 10 percent respectively, was to apply upon the interest on the $1,000 at 7 ncr cent The first six months' interest was due on Jan. 1. and on Dec. 29 Miss Nolan paid to McGrath $20, which she supposed was the balance of interest due on the major sum. He accepted the mouey, but the interest was never paid, hence the legal proceedings have been begun upon the $20. McGrath claims that the whole affair grows out of the malice of Miss Nolan's attorney, who had previously threatened him with prosecution unless he settled up the whole affair. He claims that the $800 was paid to him, and not to Kelly Bros., and that he gave his note for the amount. Afterwards he invested it in judiciously, and the money Is lost. McGrath was found guilty and sentenced to ninety days in the workhouse. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS. The State Ticket Heartily In dorsed by Democrats. The Hennepin county delegation to the state convention looked anything but a band of defeated warriors yesterday. If ev ery man when whipped could take it as phil osophically as did the sixty-four, with one or two exceptions, there would be less talk about revenge. The Hennepiii county Dem ocrats, unlike their Republican brethren a couple of months ago, went to St. Paul with a candidate. They worked for him and voted for him, discovered that he was out side the cyclone belt, and then turned iv and helped nominate the strongest man. Nothing but words of commendation for Thomas Wilson, the selected candidate, are heard in Minneapolis. He is looked upon as probably the strongest man that could be nominated, and the Democratic party here will extend to him the heartiest kind of support. The nomination of C. M. Foote is also hailed with general satisfaction. No Minneapolis man could be placed upon the state ticket who would be more satisfac tory than Foote. All in all, Hennepin county and Minneapolis was never better satisfied than with the ticket put in the field by the convention at St. Paul. To-day, it is expected, C. M. Foote, as chairman of the county committee, will ap point the committee of eighteen upon whom will devolve the duty of selecting delegates to the judicial convention, and who are also empowered to negotiate wi^h the Repub lican committee relative to putting candid ates for the judiciary into the field without making their election a political issue. There is no doubt that boch parties, the pro gressive, thinking element of both parties, desire the election of a non-partisan ju diciary: that is, an equal number of judges rrom each party. Such a result is to be desired. In the present state of feeling on the subject, I3ST HONOR there seems no probability that the judicial ermine will be spotted by political mud slinging. On the bench all party distinctness must be forgotten. The Just Judge must do by the Republican, the Democrat, the Pro hibitionist and the Alliance man the same, Anything else would be injustice. This strict regard for justice is difficult to obtain when a Judgeship is made a political prize. 'Tis not easy for even the most equitable judge to accord the same treatment to a man who has worked against him and maligned him in the heat of a political campaign that he would to an earnest, hard-working friend who had helped him to attain his judicial dignity. All these reasons, and more, are in favor of a non-partisan judiciary. There are none of weight on the other side. The four men who are most actively seek ing the place on the Democratic judicial ticket along with Judge Smith are Aukenv, Pond. Canty and Brooks, all good»men and good lawyers. The chances are that there will be six men on the judiciary committee for each of these candidates. Of course that may precipitate a deadlock. In such an event the nomination may go to a man who has been mentioned for a judgeship, but who has not sought it— Ben Davenport. Should he be decided upon, there would be no cause for cavil at the choice. Mr. Davenport's standing, both as a lawyer and as a man. is ail that any one could ask in a judge, with these four men before it that committee can scarcely make a mistake. And now it is proposed to force '"Uncle Loren" upon the Republican city ticket in order that he may help out the state ticket, especially that part of it represented by the banker with the sunset whiskers, who is'auy thing but popular in Minneapolis. Such a scheme is doomed to almost certain failure. While the Fletcher, who clones in having had "many a tussle with the St. Paul fellows without ever getting left," may be willing to enact the role of martyr for the grip which it will give him on the hair of the congressional nomination two years hence, he is not going to do anything toward holding up the hands of the youthful Billy. The Merriam banner is always before the eye of the astute Fletcher— he is always in front of it on the other side. It is not likely that he will now turn in and work for the man whose name is to him as gall and wormwood. .N or is the scheme to scatter the Potter forces, as outlined in the evening exhumer of fanciful political plans,altogether feasible. The men whose first choice Potter is have long been aware that Fletcher is playing a 'possum game and have deter mined to thwart any movement not calculated to favor their man. Implicit trustfulness in the Fletcher manifestoes and announcements and pronunciamentos belongs not to them. They have learned that Loren can talk and mean little. They intend to nominate Potter for mayor. » * Judge Thomas Wilson and Senator J. N. Castle were in Minneapolis last night in consultation with the leading Democrats relative to the formation of the state central and congressional committees. It is as good as decided that Col. M. W. Glenn will be the Heunepin county member of the state cen tral committee" The congressional com mittee will not be appointed for a few days yet. Judge Wilson had but little time for aught cisc than the receipt of congratu lations from Democrats and Republicans * * Chairman Foote may appoint the county committee to-day, but it is probable that he will no more than have time to make up the judiciary committee. Capt. O. C. Merriman expects to be able to announce the city com mittee in a few days. The Knights of Aurora. C. P. Baily, state insurance commissioner, has begun an investigation into the affairs of the Knights of Aurora. A. T. Harvey, the well-known actuary of the Missouri insur ance department, is Mr. Baily's assistant in the work. The investigation is to begin from the time the insurance feature of the order was instituted, and be brought down to the present date. Advice to the Aged.

The United States grand jury took a rest yesterday, and went to the State Fair.* They will resume work, however, promptly at 9 o'clock this morning.
