He Says MaCsoa's Charges Are All .muled. 11. E. Fletcher, of Fletcher Bros., seems not at all disturbed by the charges made against bim and his firm by William S. Matson's application for a receiver for the Green Mountain Ranching company. Over a year ago, he says, the stockholders were notified that many debts were outstanding against the company, and that it would be necessary to issue bonds to take them up. He says further that Mr. Matsou came to Minneapolis for the express purpose of having those bonds placed in the hands of an Eastern company of which Mi. Mai-son was president, for negotiation, lie says the indebtedness against the company is due Fletcher Bros., because they gave their personal paper when payments became due as lons as they could stand it. When they became unable to hold up the institu tion unaided they decided to issue bonds, they to take part of them on the basis of the percentage of stock held. "I am not accustomed to trying in the newspapers causes pending in court." said Mr. Fletcher yesterday, "and at this time will only say that every charge, allegation, or insinuation con tained in the complaint in this matter, that involves any fraud, misconduct or mismanagement in connection with the affairs of the Green Mountain Stock- Ranching company, by Fletcher Bros., myself individually and any of the di rectors or officers of the company, is absolutely without foundation in fact, as will be made apparent at the proper time and place." Others of the parties interestedl'm the suit begun by Matson were seen yester day. They united in asserting that the charges set up in Matson's petition for a receiver were false in every particu lar. They say they will be rally able to establish their untruthfulness when the case gets into court for trial. I.c wry Heads 'Em.

SWIFT SPCIFIC COMPANY. Atlanta, G« WOnETHESHAMBaCK. The Flour City Irishmen Cel ebrate St. Patrick's Day Appropriately. An Elaborate Banquet Given Last Night at tha West • Hotel. The Lumbermen of the City Are Out on the War path. Severson's Adventure With a Gas Jet— The Mystery of a Leg-. The patriotic children of the Emerald Isle indulged in the "wearin' of the green" yesterday, lv humble recognition of the day held sacred— tlie day com memorative of Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick. The elements had ap- patently connived to make the day an enjoyable one, so far as the weather was concerned, for the sun shone bright and warm, and the usual blustering bullying wind was conspicuous . by its absence. The day was celebrated in the city in a very quiet and unostentatious manner. There was no marching, no music on the streets and no gathering In public halls for the enjoyment of patriotic speeches alone. The churches held appropriate services in the morning, and in the evening there were quiet gatherings and entertain ments in various parts of the city. The largest church attended service was at the Church of the Immaculate Concep tion, where Key. Father Keaue preached the sermon. His subject was St. Patrick and the work he had per formed and the good he had wrought the Irish people and their country. The important event of the evening was a banquet of lepresenlattve Irish meh at the West hole!. There were over 150 geiiilenvn present. The or chestra in alien.' * >. •* rendered appro priate and patriot, airs, jtml roused the banqueters to frequent <• :;*>.*r-.ts of en thusiasm. The menu was an elaborate ami substantia! one. After the last course had been served and the participants were enjoying their cigars, W. J. Murphy, of the Trib une, who acted in the capacity of toastmaster, rapped the gathering to order and called upon Chris Gal lagher to respond to the toast "Amer ica." He did so in his usual felicitious manner. America, he . said, is the grandest country in the world, and one that Irishmen should feel especially proud to call their own. America is the home of all nations, but especially had its protective win*:; and munificence been accorded the natives of the Emer ald Isle, lie spoke of the grandeur of the country— its wealth and vast re sources, its rapid strides along the line of science and civilization, and its high position among other countries on the globe. Hon. A. R. McGUI spoke on "The Day We Celebrate." and Hon. (*. D. O'Brien, of St. Paul, on "Ireland." He reviewed the history of the little island from the time of kings to the present time of subserviency to the rule of England. The condition of Ireland in those early uncouth days, he maintained, was even better than now, for without home rule the Irish people could not advance and keen in pace with the world. Matt Walsh responded to the toast "Our Early Days." and Judge J. P. Ilea di-cotftfitfd on "The Irisii Sol dier.'' His speech was a eulogy on the soldier whose native -country was ire land, and he held that there never breathed a stauncher friend of the gov ernment in the time of peace, nor a truer patriot and braver man in the time of war. than the Irish soldier. He re ferred in his characteristic picturesque way to the behavior of this soldier iji the wars ot England and the wars of this country. ' -- .Judge Lochren spoke on "The Irish Bar." and referred to the vast number of brilliant barristers who owed their existence to eland and Irish parents The foremost lawyers of the day were either Irishmen or of Irish extraction. In fact.the Irish lawyer lent a brilliancy and dignity to the bar. Key. P. Kenny spoke to the toast "Ireland and the Church;" B.J. Mullaney, of the Globe, responded to "The Press." and Judge John 11. Steele to "The Irish in Amer ica." The people of St. Charles Parish en joyed a musical and literary entertain ment in Dauia ball. There were ad dresses by Mayor Eustis. F. Clean*. Capt. Wheian and others. The musical programme was excellent. Among those who participated were Mrs. Zeli ken. Miss E. McNearn, Miss Chcnevert, Miss M. Sweeny and Miss A. Gleason. The Hibernian Rifles gave an exhibition drill which was loudly applauded. At St. Anthony ball the play "The Octoroon" was produced by members of the parish of St. Anthony of Padua.

There was a meeting of a number of the local lumber dealers yesterday after noon, and the manner in which the com mittee on logs and lumber, of the legis lature, the members of which were re sponsible for the killing of the scaling bill, was roasted, was artistic to say the least. These lumbermen nut themselves on recoid as being "agin" every mem ber of the committee who worked against the passage of the biil. They discussed methods of retaliation and it was decided to ask the legislature to call an investigation of the committee and its business transactions. In fact.the lum bermen will demand an investigation, and they will adduce such facts that the legislature can hardly get away from granting it. Remarks about boodle were freely in dulged in by the lumbermen. They stated they 'could prove everything they said, so there was no fear of libel or slander suits. It was stated by one lumberman tbat a certain member of the log and lumber committee came to him and demanded to be given (1,030 for himself and colleagues as an in ducement to vote for the bill when it came up. He was refused, and went away swearing that he would be even. Some few days later another member of the committee called upon him and told him that if he got $1,000 he could lix it so the bill would pass. •'There are four of us who must be fixed," said he, "and 1 am one ot them. The other three we don't care about. IV c are in the majority.*' The lumberman referred to stated that he was prepared to prove that this conversation was truv, and that he was THE SAINT PAUL DA fLY* GLOBE: SATURDAY MORN!

Olaf Severson, of Alma, Wis., got into a pile of trouble late Thursday night, lie arrived In 'thu city in the morning and took quarters nt the St. James. lie was out during the evening visiting Friends and Having a good time in general, and when he returned to the hotel the night clerk felt it his duty to warn him about blowing out the gas. Severson went to his room, and a short time afterwards a bell boy who had an errand to perform on the same floor no ticed a terrible smell of gas. Ha called the clerk and they traced the smell to Severson's room. Ho was awakened alter a good deal of pounding on the door and shown "now to .work the jet. A .unit half au bout* later the same bell-boy came running down to the clerk and said Severson had killed him self. It was found that his room was full of gas again, but the cleric could not effect an entrance, for the door was locked. Patrolman George Reviere was called in. and S'verson was dually in* muled to allow the clerk to enter. The gas jet was wide open and the deadly fumes tilled the roam. Severson was hauled out into the fresh air and again told how to manipulate the gas. The clerk went back to his desk, bat the eve r-vigilant bell-boy had his curiosity aroused, and he soon put in an appear ance at the office with the startling in formation that Severson was not in his room and could not be found. With a sigh the clerk took a scout around the building, and finally located Severson at tlie bottom of lhe stairs Wading to the basement. He lay with his head in a pile of sand. How he came there he could not tell, lie was escorted back to his room, and the weary night clerk tell asleep himself.. Severson managed to finish the night without further trouble, au i yesterday morning lie paid his bill and lett for his home in rural Alma. AN OWXrUt WANTED For an Artificial Limb Found in a Basement. Early yesterday morning a laborer going to his work saw something white and gleaming jii the doer of the base ment under the dilapidated old house at the coiner of Main street and Second avenue northeast. He crawled in through the window and found the ob ject was an artificial limb, almost new. The limb was designed fora male, and the straps and sole of the foot showed it hail been worn considerably. The laboring man took the limb to the East side police station, and from there it was carted to police headquarter*;. The police are at a loss how to ac count for the presence of the limb in the musty old. basement. Capt. Bos worth, of the East side station, created something of a sensation by saying that the woman who formerly occupied the house had a trap door constructed from one of the rooms on the first floor which led into an underground pas sage. This passage, he said, began at one side of the basement and ran cleat* to the river. He did not know what use it was put t,*, but he guessed it was built for no good. Capt. llein remarked that perhaps the artificial limb had be longed to some unfortunate fellow who had been sent down tne tunnel and dumped into the river. At any rate.the affair of the artificial limb is something of a mystery. Last fall Maj. Henderson, who was then at the head of the police depart ment, was notified of the mysterious disappearance of a one-legged man, who had come to this city from Livingstone, Mont. Nothing was ever heard of him, and as no further news was received from Livingstone the matter was dropped and gotten. It may be that the limb found yesterday is in some way connected with this missing man. j WILLIAM HENRY'S PRIDE. It Would Not Let Him Sign Those Resolutions. Yesterday was the last day under tlie law for the approval by the mayor of the resolutions passed at the last meet ing of the council. The mayor did not sign the resolutions, and they will be allowed to become operative without his signature. They will be published in regular form early next week, and that will settle it. Mayor F'ustis still pretends to think that the action of the council last Friday night was illegal. It is whispered that lie has evolved a plan for testing the legality of the council's action, the cases to be carried to the supreme court if necessary. The war rants for the payment of claims against the city will be drawn in accordance with the council's resolutions, and then steps will be taken to prevent payment. This is said to be the plan. It does not seem plausible. It will take money to carry this light through the courts. Mayor Eustis must put up the money if the fight go on. lie is almost entirely alone in the fight now. The best law yers have said the council's action was legal. It is not likely that many Republicans will be found ready to contribute funds to gratify the stubborn mayor's whim. A large sec tion of his p.irty lays the blame for the overturning in the council at his door anyhow. Ever since he went into office he has shown a disposition to dictate to every department of the city govern ment. The council grew tired and slipped from under his thumb. lt looks, anyhow, as if the mayor were weakening. Yesterday President Kiichli called on him at his invitation. They spent some time talking over council matters. Neither would say much about it, but it was learned that the mayor wanted to patch up a peace. RABBI MARKS GOING. He Is Too Liberal lor Some of His Congregation. Rev. Samuel Marks, rabbi of Temple Sbaarel Lor, the Hebrew synagogue at Fifth avenue south and Tenth street, will leave Minneapolis. Dr. Marks' severance of relations with his congre gation is the result of that spirit of lib eralism which pervades so many com munions. Dr. Marks has always been exceedingly liberal In his religious views. His teachings became too broadly liberal, too far removed from the tradi tions of the faith for a portiou of the congregation. Insomuch as he could not be in harmony with the entire congregation. Dr. Marks thought it bet ter to leave.

Since his arrival in this city Rabbi Marks has affiliated with the lib eral ministers and has preached repeat edly in their churches. Rev. 11. M. Simmons, of the first Unitarian cnurch, holds him in the highest regard, and Rabbi Marks was quite a common figure in that pulpit. Ile also lectured a great deal. His' lectures on the "Talmud," delivered at the People's meetings, won him a great many friends and admirers. Taylor's Tight Squeeze. E. A. Taylor, the well-known restau rant man, who resides at 96 Spruce place, had a disagreeable experience with a folding bed yesterday morning. He. was calmly snoozing, when his wife. who "arose betimes." accidently knocked the support from under the bed.. The result was instaneous. The bed shut up like a clam shell, and Mr. Taylor was made a prisoner. It was no easy job to extricate him, for the hinges of the bed would not work with Mr. Taylor on the inside. The neighbors had to ba called in, and in the mean time the prisoner nearly smothered. When released a doctor had to be sent for, who gave Mr. Taylor restoratives, and last night he was out of danger. He s?ys it was the tightest squeeze he ever experienced. _ TOILERS' STRUGGLES. Sweeping Injunction Procured Against Chiefs Arthur and • Sargent. They Are Commanded, to Raise the Boycott Against the Ann Arbor. - — Toledo, 0., March 17.— General Man ager Ashley, of the Ann Arbor railway, and Alexander L. Smith, its general, counsel, appeared before Hon. William | B. Taft,. United States circuit judge at Detroit, today and made an application for a mandatory injunction against Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and Chief Sar gent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, requiring them to raise the boycott against Ann Arbor cars. Judge Taft allowed the order as prayed j for. It is most sweeping in Its terms, j and "restrains either o,f them ''from issuing, promulgating or continuing in ' force any rule or order of any kind," under the rules and regulations of either order, "which shall require or command auy employes of any of the defendant companies to refuse to re ceive, handle or deliver any cars of freight in course of transportation from one state to another," from and to the Ann Arbor. lt also prohibits either of them "from in any directly or indirectly, endeavoring to persuade or induce any employes of the railway companies whose lines con nect with the Ann Arbor nol to extend to said company t he same facilities for interchange of interstate traffic as are extended by said companies to other railways," and in case any such orders have been issued by either Arthur or Sargent, prior to the service of the restraining order, "they and each of them are lye re by required and commanded to rescind it." This is a temporary re straining order, and Monday, March 27, is set for the hearing of the motion for a permanent injunction. As the Ann Arbor lias but one station in Ohio, that of Toledo, its traffic for other roads ail comes under*; the head of interstate traffic. ',-:■- -; New Youk. March 17.— The clothing cutters' union started a seriesof strikes yesterday, which, if persisted in, is likely to cause a lock-out of about 800 cutters by the clothing manufacturers' association next week, and this will have the effect of throwing between 0,000 and 7,000 tailors out of work. Trouble has been brewing for some time, and jesterday the manufacturers held a secret meeting and decided to act in concert. What this action will be is to be made known tomorrow afternoon. PITTSBUBG. March 17.— manage ment of the Elba iron works, Franks town, has served notice of reductions in all departments, to go into effect next week. Last June the firm refused to recognize the Amalgamated association, and since that time have operated the plant with non-union men, although paying union prices for labor. The non unionists are decidedly indignant and threaten to quit work should the order be enforced. About 400 men are affected by the reductions. St. Louis, March 17.— The marble polishers' strike is off. The several hundred polishers have been out nearly two weeks, and have beer, successful in securing nine hours' work and ten hours' pay. At a largely attended meeting hist night the employers' concessions were accepted and the strike declared off. The men received even more than their demands. Formerly there were three classes, but the employers have agreed to abolish the third class, leav ing only two. Chicago, March 17.— The Santa Fe engineers and Grand Trunk conductors and trainmen have demanded an "in crease of wages, and the demands were acted upon by a special committee os the general managers' association this afternoon, but its decision will not be announced until the next meeting of the association, probably some time next week. Railroad officials assert tiny have no fear of a strike, though there is little doubt that the decision wili be against the men. WHERE IS THE SARNIA?

Last Night He Was Unconscious, and There Was Little Hope of Recovery. Nkw* Oklf.axs, March 17.- George A. Baird, better . known as Squire Abingdon, is in a very critical state, and lis death is expected at any moment. Ever since the day Mitchell and Hall eft the city the squire has been con lined to his bed at the hotel. Daily his jondition has grown worse. At first it ivas believed that he was suffering From a severe cold which he con tracted when he seconded Jim Hall in his light with Fitz •iimmons. It developed shortly into pneumonia; high fevers followed, and his temperature has been as high as IOC (leg. Constantly by his side remained two female nurses, besides his faithful valet, William Monk, and his private secretary, Teddy Bailey. For two days now he has been delirious, and scarcely eats any food. Today Drs. Miles and Fctsh called a consultation, but noth ing was agreed upon, and they will hold another tomorrow. Daily cables are sent to the Squire's relatives in England, stating every change in his condition. Mitchell has been tele graphed at Buffalo, and he has sent word that he will be In New Orleans Monday. Baird has not been well for months, but he has never been so seriously ill as he is now. Today he had a bad turn, and up to mid night he was in the same comatose con dition. The squire since his arrival in the city has been leading a life ot dis sipation, and since Hall's defeat he hardly went to bed until he broke down in health. A physician is nearly all the time at his bedside, and the best of at tention is given * the sick sportsman. There is little hope tor his recovery. . ****** WEARERS OF THE GREEN.

Chicago, March 17.— Chicago's cele bration of St. Patrick's day was a huge success, the street parade being the largest in many years. Col. Francis L. Colby's command, the Hibernian rifles, recently mustered in by order of Gov.

The celebration was continued this . evening by addresses and banquets.

Northern Pacific Directors to Pattern After the Union Pacific. Trust Collateral Notes to Fund the Floating Debt May Be Issued. St. Paul & Northern Pacific Stock Would Be Used as Security. New Canadian Line Said to Be a Northern Pacific Enterprise. New York, March 17.— A meeting of the directors of the Northern Pacific railroad will be held on Tuesday next to consider a plan for funding the float ing debt of, the company amounting, as stated by its officers, to 10,000,000, In stead, as heretofore proposed, of selling for that purpose the stock held in the treasury of a controlled road, the St. Paul & Northern Pacific. Henry Vil lard, who is now at Asheville, N. C, will probably return in time to attend the meeting.

Edward Simmons, the chairman of the commit tee of the general mortgage bondholders of the Reading road, said today: "The removal of President A. A. Mc- Leod as one of the receivers will be in sisted upon in the interest of the prop erty. Mr. McLeod has shown that he is not a primer person to have a directing hand in its affairs. We do not want to see receivers' certificates put out which will be a lien ahead of the general mort gage, and we intend to prevent their issue. We are not opposed to Mr. Mc- Leod as an individual, but as manager of Reading." William Mertans, of the provisional committee of the ' bondholders, said: "We do not intend to proceed for the removal of Mr. McLeod. I do not see any necessity for such a step. The con dition of the" Reading is by no means helpless. Mr. McLeod is a poor finan cier, but from. all 1 can learn is a good man in the physical operation of a rail road. He would make a first rate super intendent or general manager, ln handling the finances of the Reading he made a serious mistake of skating on the thin ice. Had he borrowed money on time instead of on call,' he would have been all right." Philadelphia, March 17. — The Pennsylvania Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting Annuities, the trustee for holders for Philadelphia & Reading mortgage bonds, presented a petition in the United States circuit court today praying that the court make an order or the petitioner to "have no tice of and opportunity to be heard in regard to all applications or orders re ferring any matter to the master or in volving expenditures of money by said receivers, or incurring any obligation affecting the mortgaged property, and more especially which may affect the creation of any obligation that may be held to have priority to the mortgage debts commonly called receivers cer tificates."
