MINNEAPOLIS. A BEAUREGARD IN TOWN. Luring Ihe pr.st week a nephew of Cen. Beauregard, of Louisiana, was a Sliest of the West hotel. lie is a very bright but modest fellow, fond of scien lilie study, and devoted to his daily reading of Racine ami Mollere. Are porter of the Globe endeavored to in terview the distinguished Southerner, but, owing to Mr. Beauregard's engage oients, was prevented from meeting him. Young Beauregard is not only a man of largo means, as the phrase goes, but he is prob ably one of the best, dramatic critics in the country, lie is decided!} literary, aud has also inherited the in ventive genius from his paternal uncle. The general proved himself a skillful engineer at ieksLurg, and the fortifi cations he erected at an island, with a rapidly vanishing' name, above Mem* phis,' Term.. evidenced his ability as a scientific military man. In the Kast and "wooly West*' probably few people know, who daily ride -with speed to their places of labor and occupation, that to 'fit. Beauregard is doe the honor of inventing the first cable street railway in America. But it is a tact, all the "same. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. As good Mayor Babb sees political power and preferment slipping from his grasu as the shadow of a dream dis appears amid the mists of years, he de velops surprising' ability as a states man. Babb has been interviewed again and again, and if he could have shown, during his adniini-UatioL. that lie possessed such Ideas as he now ex presses, he would not be so execrated by his party. The mayor makes a bet ter theoretical than practical statesman. This is what he said about the city charter: •'1 think that the city charter ought to be entirely overhauled and revamped. I do not think that. Minneapolis has the form of municipal government which is best calculated to. make it a meat city. There is no head to it. The nominal head.the mayor, is only a figurehead. In my opinion the mayor* ought to he the general supervisor and supcriutendant of the various departments water works, sewers, workhouse, and' even the city comptroller's of fice. The officers at the head of each department should be his subordinates, in so far that he should be able at any time to require from them reports ofthe condition of any department. He out-lit ■ lo be the sole head of the police depart- ! ment." J Babb would have the police commis- | sion abolished and a board of civil j service examiners established in its : dead. He believes that Mr. Winston i Will give the city a good administration. * .- The fanciful sketch concerning Con gressman Mills' visit to Minneapolis, telegraphed to the Journal a couple of "lays ago. is effectually controverted by die following: l' .the Editor of the Globe. My attention has been called to an ar ticle in the Journal of the 17th inst.. from their Washington correspondent, ! stating that the magnet that drew Con gressman Mills to Minneapolis was a consideration of $200 and a pledge that Mr. Castle would support him 'Mills) as j speaker of the house. Permit me to ! contradict that by saving that from the time 1 met Mr. Mills at Milwaukee un til he boarded the ears at St. Paul, on lis way to St. Louis, there was not one vord said about any consideration for lis valuable service" to the Democracy if Minnesota.

To-Day the. Jury Will Decide . Whether He Is the Guilty Man. Capt. J. C. Whitney Wins His Suit Against the Bennett Trustees. C. M. Fond Becomes judge Immediately—Gossip in Politics. The Ray case attracted more of a crowd yesterday than oh the previous day, but there was little to satisfy 'he curious, ami nothing sensational was developed except that Bay told what appears on its face to be a cock and bull story about the money he. received from James Vasey. John F. Sorenson, bookkeeper in the city treasurer's office, was called yesterday morning to corro borate all that . Modisette and Crosby had said about the tin box and Kay's visits to the office. James How ! ard, city detective, told how he went I after Hay to Montreal. There the state i rested, and the defense moved for dis ! missal on the ground that no demand j had been made upon Kay for the money, | but Judge Hicks denied the motion, saying that in his judgment the case i was one to go ;to the jury. He volun teered, however, tnat there was one j point that should go before the jury j that had not been shown, and that I was whether Kay had seen tiie box : after he got the money from Vasey. So the attorney for the state put Saloon- 1 keeper Vasey on the stand again to show when it was that Kay had received the monty, a little before 4 p. in., on July '12. and the people from the treas urer's office had already testified that he was not back for the box utter that ! date. __SB_HTC>>_&*-__ W.H.Donahue opened for-, the de fense, laying special stress upon the finding of $1,004 in the tin box after Bay's departure. Then Ray went upon the stand and told substantially the same story as at the preliminary exam ination. With reference to the' time of receiving Vasey's money, he said that he received it on "the -Ist, and put it in the tin box, and that he went - back ' and gave '• Vasey the receipt on the 22d. Nye gave him a most rigid cross-examination. Dr. George E. Dennis testified to Mrs. Bay's illness. G. J. Heinrich and 8.V.-Coff arelli swore to Ray's having received a check on the 2lst, which he deposited in the tin box in the treasurer's office. H. P. Roberts, William Hooker and H. 11. Elverum testified as to Hay's good rep utation. Ray was subjected to a re cross-exann nation and admitted that one saloonkeeper, Olsen, had paid him money on July 22, the day he went. He also admitted . having collected $150 from the county as cor oner's jury fees, although he knew the police commission had ordered all such money turned over to the police depart ment. James Vasey was put back upon the stand. He declared again tnat Kay gave him the receipt on July 22. when he gave hay the money." The receipt is dated July 22. Ray swore that he re ceived the money July 21. The case will be argued and go to the jury this morning. , CAPT. WHITNEY WINS. Judge Young Finally Settles the Bennett Seminary Case." The Bennett Seminary case has fin ally been settled. . Judge Young yes terday handed down a decision find ing for Capt. Joseph Whitney, the de fendent. The original board of trustees of the institution were Levi Butler,- Charles Vanderburgh, J. T. Wake field, Charles A. Bovey, IL G. Sidle, E. B. Ames, J. C. Whitney, R. J. Mendenhall, J. A. Wolverlon. C. H. Pettit, W. P. Ankeny.W'. D. Washburn, Dorillus Morrison and W. W. MeXair. This was in 1871. On May 10. 1862, a meeting of the board culminated in the agreement to purchase the property on the corner of Tenth street and Park avenue, known as the Jones property. Each one agreed to pay sums set oppo site their names for its purchase, in most eases amounting to $1,000. It is also proved that in oraer to pur chase this property the defenuaiit gave his personal note for 520.000, and that the corporation never took any action authorizing , the purchase of the prop erty, which was actually purchased ac cording to an agreement which stated that the property should belong to the subscribers in the proportion of their subscription. It is found that Whitney bought up or had assigned to him all the claims of the persons parties to the agreement, and afterwards sold the property. '•The defendant being the sole owner of all the stock assessed prior to the sale of the property," says Juge Young, ••is entitled to the proceeds." It is not material to the case whether Capt. Whit ney held the properly in trustor not; the property was his. and he had a right to do with it as he pleased, and so lie will not account, to his successors in charge of the female seminary." JUDGE POXD IN PACT. He Will Serve the Balance of Judge Ilea's. Term. j C. M. Pond doesn't have to wait until the Ist of January to become" a judge. He has already been appointed to serve out Judge Pea's unexpired term. The fact that the bench now lacks one judge of its regular number because of the resignation of Judge Pea, and the fur ther fact that Judge Young will take up no new cases, but devote his time to clearing up -what he already has on his hands, makes double labor for the four remaining judges: For these reasons the judges got together Monday night in Judge Loclnen's room, after court hours, and talked over the possibility of asking the governor to appoint one of the judges-elect to begin his labors the first of the December term, and in this manner he would begin upon his regu lar work and continue it when he came to his elected term. That is, tne gov ernor would appoint one of the new judges for a term of one month. Their wishes were communicated -to the. gov ernor yesterday, and C. M. Pond was immediately appointed. A DIVIDED HOUSE. R The District Bench Splits on a B_a_ Matter of Law. The members of the Fourth district judiciary have disagreed, and the result of the disagreement is to destroy the force of a precedent established by Judge Lochren a year ago. in the matter of the filing of judgment in foreclosure proceedings. Yesterday morning the full bench considered the argument made before them some weeks ago, and Judges Young, Smith and Hicks ruled that a judgment in a foreclosure proceeding is not a personal judgment and should not be docketed. In the special case argued before them it ap pears that the mortgaged property was not nearly sufficient to cover the mort gage. But in such cases he judges argue that the mortgagee takes the risk when he takes the mortgage and that a personal judgment which will tie \up not only the mortgaged property,, but all the mort gagor's property, should not be made, but the judgment; should be upon the mertgaged land, and none others. Judge ; [ Hooker sustains. Judge Lochren in his THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WgDNESDAj MORNING ISOV_UM_3_-tt _», _»m old opinion that the judgment should be a personal one, and hold against all the property of the mortgagor, and they, tile a dissenting opinion to that effect." The case will go to the . supreme court for a final settlement. - - vv- Sabbath School Convent ion. The Sixth district, comprising the Comities of Hennepin, Anoka, Isanti. Scott, Wright, Carver and MeLeod, of the State Sabbath School association, met in convention yesterday afternoon and evening in Westminster church. Papers were read by John E.

GJcrsten, Rev. 11. H. French and Rev. Smith Baker.. The remaining* eleven districts of the state association are also in session to-day. A great amount of practical good will doubtless result from the simultaneous conven tions, as many questions dealing with, the * " practical side ol Sabbath school work will be ably discussed. The convention in this city is largely at tended. A Broken Drum. John McQuade, the son of a Minneap olis police officer, was sent to the work house for sixty days yesterday morning by Judge Mahoney. His wife, Eva Mc- Quade, was the complainant. The couple have been married about a month. McQuade was discharged from the employ ol the city railway company a short time ago and in mediately theie after went on a spree. Night before last, while drunk, he went home and endeavored to caress his wife. She protested and received a whack on the tare from her husband's fist that broke the tympanum ot her ear. When relat ing the story in court Mrs. McQuade displayed considerable indignation, and expressed her satisfaction on bear ing the decision of the court. She is only nineteen years of age. Knights of Aurora. The Order of the Knights of Aurora is split nearly in twain, and the two fac tions are waging a war of crimination and recrimination. The supreme oracle, Rev. Powers, has been suspended for swearing falsely and violating bis obli gations as a knight. The reverend is a doughty fighter, and is vigorously prose cuting a crusade against his enemies. Judge Severance, of St. Paul, has been appointed a referee to take testimony, and somebody has made a motion to ap point a receiver. A hearing will take place next Monday. It is said the heirs of the late Judge W. T. Bun, of St. Paul, will bring suit against the order for the sum of 63,000, the amount of in surance held by him in the concern. The suit w.ll be bitterly contested, and will involve some interesting points of law. A Big Enterprise.

The uni versity boys are in excellent form, and a lively game is confidently expected. - Getting a Second Trial.

The other day she said: "Sec. 1 made this last week, guess how much it cost me?" 1 gazed at it a moment and then named a prise a few cents lower than that which it would bring ready-made. She laughed and told me that it cost her only half of the shop price, and oh! how much moie dainty and better made it was. She bought a perfectly plain cambric cover «nd cut it down into a square neck, whick she ; filled in with inserra tion and lace (a bargain she got one day)" and finished it with mauve ribbon put on "Jacob's ladder." Fancy ruffles of lace-finished the shoulders and stood up over coquettish knots of ribbon. A Parlor Dust Bag.
