This, melted and mingled with the waters of April, filled the lakes 'and reservoirs to overflowing, causing an enormous waste of water; but he sees no way to prevent another overflow. He gives in detail the work of the various pumps, and shows that the water raised -by a single pound ot coal runs from 430 to 629.92 gallons, and that the cost under existing conditions to raise 1,000,000 gallons of water one foot is .082916 cent.

Special to the Globe. Chicago, 111., Dec. B.— By order of the postal authorities at Washington the following concerns doing business at St. Paul and Minneapolis, among many others, have been shut off from the use of the United States mails upon the ground that they have violated the law relating to the use of the mails: North American Bond Investment com pany, St. Paul; United Stales Invest ment company, Bankers' Investment company, Capital Consul company and Columbia Bond Investment company, Minneapolis. " SECURED IN ST. PAUL. Inquiry in St. Paul * last evening de veloped the fact that the North Amer ican Bond Investment company, of this city, suspended business last July until a test case now pending in the federal court at Chicago should be decided. The postmaster general sent a letter to the company named in this city last July stating that if the style of the bus iness should be modified there would be no violation of the law.- The officers of the company here then replied to the postmaster general that there was no in tention on their part to conflict with the postoffice department. About that time a case was. begun in" Denver, and also one in Chicago, to test the legality of the proceedings by the postoffice depart ment to exclude the circulars of such companies from the mails, and the com pany here will not resume active oper ations until the case in Chicago has settled the rights in the matter. HOWARD NEXT. Butler Indicates That the Trial Will Begin Monday. County Attorney Pierce Butler has about determined to take up James Howard as the next of the alleged bank robbers to be tried, beginning Monday morning. Howard is one of the -young men of the crowd, and has sharp features and a keen, dark eye. He was the first man . arrested on sus picion. When arrestod in Minneapolis before the robbery, as being a suspi cious character, and the time his photo graph was taken, he gave this name and his residence as 505 Canada street in this city, lt was there he was arrested by Detective McGuiggan. When searched 1500 in gold, $20 pieces, was found on his person. The county at torney intimated yesterday that he rather expected on the first trial that Howard would have been put on the witness stand in defense of Fleury. or, rather, for the purpose ot attempting to prove an alibi. Judge Kelly will preside at the trial beginning Mon day morning, lt is presumed that it will be harder than ever to secure a jury. The regular panel will be first exhausted before summoning talesmen. After securing the jury the time of ad ducing the evidence will probably be shorter than at the former trials, for the reason that both sides will know what course the court will take as to the ad mission of testimony. The general character of the evidence will be the same as on the former trials. NOT INTENTIONAL. Gov. Nelson's Letter to William H. Condon. Some of the Eastern papers having commented unfavorably upon the fail ure of Gov. Nelson tp be present at the unveiling in Washington of the statue of Gen. Shields, which took place last Wednesday, the governor furnishes the following copy of the letter he wrote in reply to the invitation to be present, in order to show that his failure was not intentional:" XXX' Nov. 18, 1893.— William 11. Condon, Esq., 190 La Salle Street, Chicago, 111.— Dear Sir: lam in receipt of your favor of the 16th, inviting me to attend the unveiling ot the statue of the late Gen. James Shields at the capitol at Wash ington, on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 2 p. m., anil to participate in the ceremonies connected therewith. I am unable at this moment to give you a more definite answer than this: If it is possible for me to leave the state at that time 1 shall try to attend, but cannot, at this early day, tell with any certainty whether 1 can get away or not.

Highest 01 all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Go Report _-__. fe fl ¥5 \ ° __•.. X .©as®® ItSWdCP ABSOLUTE-.^ PURE THE RECORDS AT FAULT. THEY SHOWED ONLY 700,000 FEET : jX7' 'OF TIMBER. i: hie: ii*****: anx imposED UPON. State Auditor Biermann Acted Upon Records Made Before He Entered the Office— These Rep resented the Timber as Being 700,000 Feet of Inferior Pine —Pillsbury Bhould Explain. So far as learned, John S. Pillsbury has indicated no intention to explain his connection with the pine land deal in Mille Lacs county. It is otherwise with State Auditor Biermann. The official said yesterday: "The public is entitled to a full ex planation of the whole transaction, and I shall give it as soon as I have care fully read the decision of the court. I am confident that all fair-minded peo ple will be convinced from the showing 1 shall make that ray connection with the transaction " was not governed by any desire to defraud the state. 1 have never seen the tract, but I am inclined to believe that there was the number of feet of timber on it found by the court; but further than this I have nothing to say until I have read the court's de clsion." : C J : From another source it is understood that Mr. Biermann will show that the records in his office, which were made before he became state auditor, give the number of feet of standing pine on the tract in question at only 700,000 feet, and describe it as an inferior Quality of timber. The informant says that Mr. Biermann has the means at hand to clear his skirts entirely from blame. It may he easily seen how the state auditor, having before him records made by some predecessor, could be im posed upon. The records grossly mis represented the amount of pine, also the quality. It is not so easy to see hew the purchaser of the pine could enter into the deal without a guilty knowledge. The state audi tor has never seen the tract, hence had nothing to rely upon for knowledge of its value except the rec ords, and he is not by any means chargeable with guilty kuowledge. The purchaser had made a careful inspec tion of the timber before making the purchase, lt was certainly known to Mr. Pillsbury v or, at least, his partner, C. A. Smith, that the firm was purchas ing 5,500,000 feet of first-class pine tim ber, worth at least 84 a thousand, as being only 700,000 feet of inferior pine, atone-half its value. It would seem to be in order, since Mr. Pillsbury has been a governor of the state, at present is one of the regents of the state univer sity, which institution is one of the ben eficiaries of these lands, and is looKed up to as a man of the highest personal standing, that he should come to the front with an explanation. "'•" ' " "' AN attokney's statement. ; -J j Mr. Jackson, ex-Gov. Pillsbury's, at torney, makes this defense of his client: "Some papers have commented on the fact that the estimate on the auditor's books gave only 700,000 feet of pine on this section, while in fact there was found to bs something over 5,000,000 feet; but Inasmuch as the purchaser was to pay so much a thousand for all timber cut, and this had to be scaled by the surveyor genera), you will see that there was no chance for injury to the state in this regard. "This is all 1 care to say about the matter, except that on the subject of price the auditor's records show that some time before Mr. Biermann's elec tion this timber had been appraised in proper form by the state appraisers at $1.75 per thousand. The price agreed on between ttie auditor and Mr. Smith was 12 per thousand. The testimony, of half a dozen of the principal lumber men of Minneapolis as to the value of logs in this market, and the cost of cut ting,, hauling and driving the same from the land in question, would leave a very narrow margin of profit under the most favorable circumstances at the price of $2 per thousand. No sugges tion of fraud or any attempt at fraud was made in the pleadings or on the trial, and none is suggested in the court's opinion as reported. 1 have not seen a certified copy of the opinion. "Tne case turns entirely on a ques tion of technical legal construction- and it would be unfair to the defendants to allow any other impression to get abroad.? ?*-:?.

'* ; The master horseshoers' union met last night, and received a report from Chicago that 150 delegates of the craft met there on Oct. 9,' and adopted resolu tions regarding the care of apprentice^,', so that hereafter the knowledge of j horseshoeing. will-be much improved. The association has a standing committee appointed on Nov. 8. which asked Superintendent Hoskins, ot the city railway company, to close the slots not in use on the Seventh street line, and on Selby avenue beyond Dale street. The committee reported that Mr. Hoskins had agreed to have this done, to save all horses from injury and the company from all liabilities from such injuries. The object of the com-' mittee in doing this is two-fold, viz., to protect the city railway company from possible damage suits and also to save the horseshoers from the expense of putting on safety calks on horseshoes*- During the present season, owing '"to dullness of the times, all blacksmith shops will remain open only from 8 a. m. to 5 p. in. :. ? KITTSON ESTATE AND TRUST COMPANY. Judge Olivier Decides That They Must Account for Interest. The heirs of the Kittson estate some time since brought suit against the St. Paul Trust company to compel them to allow the estate Interest on money jin their possession, which, the complaint alleged, they had had the benefit of. if Judge Olivier, ot the probate court, rendered a decision ordering the Trust company to pay over to the estate the sum of 791.47 on account of interets and 14,495.25 on account of commissions for a period named, making a total of $22,280.17.
