Finloy r Suc ceeds W. s, Alexnnder on the Eastern Minnesota — Other Changes Coining Shortly. '..:'.. For a long time there have been con tinual rumors of changes brewing in tne official household of President Hill, of the Great Northern. Wild have been the guesses made by certain newspapers as to what these changes were to be. One paper even went so far as to fix up a slate some time ago. These things did not disturb Mr. Hill in the' least. As he quietly an nounced to a Globe representative, "the changes are "formulating, but the chickens are not yet hatched." To a Globe reporter ««t (5:30 p. in., yester day, Mr. Hill handed over the following circulars that explain some of the ofucial changes already made: A XI. MAXAGEK. Great Northern Railway line. Great Northern railway. YVUlmar & Sioux Falls railway. Duiuih, Watertown & Pacific railway, Montana Central rail way. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 1. IS'J4. Mr. Charles ii.

Duluth, Wateriowu & Pacific Railway company. Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota.

The third circular reads as follows: MINNEAPOLIS UNION RAILWAY COM PANY. St. Paul. Minn., An jr. I. 1804. Mr. K. 1. Farringtou is hereby ap pointed comptroller, effective this date. Jas. J. Hill, President. Nor are these all the changes. Presi dent Hill stated yesterday also that W. \Y. Fir.ley, the present general traffic ■manager of the Groat Northern, had also been electtd traffic manager of the East ern Railroad of Minnesota. The formal circular will undoubtedly: make its ap pearance today. This means that the office of W. S. Alexander, the president and general manager of the Eastern Railway of Minnesota, has been abro gated. Mr. Alexander has performed the duties of general traffic nianacer also of that of line without the title. President Hill said that the power of appointments on the Eastern Railway of Minnesota would now rest with Mr. Finley. This mayor may not affect the office of as sistant general freight and passenger agent of the road, now held by P. A. Rockwell. Mr. in 11 sometime ago intimated that changes would be made, and the fore going announcements are 111 fulfillment thereof. He stated yesterday that still other changes might reasonably be ex pected, but declined to prematurely give them to the public. It is probable that R. W. Bryan, the general superin tendent, will resign, and the appoint ment of his successor may be an nounced any day. SKETCH OF THE MANAGER.

THE "SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 31, IW4 TWO STRIKERS ON TRIAL. ENGINEER .[ BEST AND FIREMAN KEL ' LETT.' THE PARTI'S § .. WHO DE»GHTED THE ENGINE, Leaving an Eastern Minnesota Mail Train on the Slain Lino— Government Rests and Defend- ■ >v ' ants' Lawyer Moves for a Dis missal — District " ' Attorneys Argue iho Matter Today. The trial of William B. Bast and' Albert Kellett, the engineer and fire man on the Eastern Minnesota road: who left their online on the trade dur ing the Great Northern strike, began yesterday in the United States district^ court, with Judge Williams oa the bench. District Attorney Stringer and Mr. Stryker, his assistant, are conducting the case for the governineut, prompted by Col. W. P. Cloaca aud Cryus Wellington, of the Great Northern road. - C. D. O'Brien Is attorney for the defendants. The in dictment charges that on June 26, while engaged on the Eastern Minnesota road, the defendants conspired to obstruct the passage of the United States mails from the union depot at St. Paul to the. union depot at Minneapolis. . . .:'.;:>; fhu jurors beforo whom they are on trial are James Sharpley, of Delavan; C J. Case, Shakopee; D.. C. Handy, Minneapolis; John Fewer, Minneapo lis; L. W. Ayer, Belle Prairie; Charles VV. Lane, Minneapolis; D. F. : Fuller, Monticello; Frank liart, Auoka; Guy Maltby, lied Valley ; Jacob Heinker, Hastings; P. Olseu Earl, Minneapolis, and Joel Stone, Buffalo. A number of witnessed were called on behalf of the government to show that Best and Kellett had abandoned a mail train after leaving the union deuot in this city, and left it across the Northern Pacific tracks shortly after 1 o'clock on the day mentioned. J. K. Morrison, superintendent of the Great Northern roundhouse, testified that Best and Kellelt left the train on the tracks and reported at the round house. On cross-examination Mr O'Brien asked if there were other engines and other engineers at the roundhouse that could have been called upon to take the train out. Judge Williams suggested that the question was immaterial, as it was shown that the engine abandoned was in good condition, but after some argu ment permitted Mr. Morrison to an swer, and he said theie were. "lv an swer to a Qubstioa by Mr. Stryker, the witness said he understood the strike was over at the time, lie also stated that other engineers refused to take the train out, because the engine had been . abandoned by the engineer In charge. J. O. Pettie. superintendent of motive power, testified to trying to fret other engineers to take the train out that had been abandoned by the defendants. Three other engineers were requested to take the train otf the crossln?. but declined. They were then commanded to do so, but refused. The reason given by one of the enzineers.after taking out of his pocket a book which he consulted, was that the constitution of some so ciety to which he belonged forbid his doing so. Mr.Stryker asked if the train had been left at a dangerous place. Mr. O'Brien objected. Judge Williams said he re garded it a material question. i It was dangerous to mail service, and there being mail on the train made it dau^cr oii3 to interfere with the movement of the whole train. . . " - Mr. Pettie said that he did not con sider the place as especially dangerous. It being left on the cross-way prevented the Omaha and Northern Paciiic trains from passiug for about two hours. The train was finally moved by the witness ami other road officials and put upon the main track so mat trains could pass. Mr. Stryker asked if there was a crowd of men on the track. Judge Williams s:ud that was not material, as men being on the track would not be an obstruction. "It is a world-wide presumption that if man are ou a track in front of a moving train they will get onV' added Judge Wiii iams. Mr. O'Brien began to cross-examine Mr. Pettie, who replied indirectly to his questions. Mr. O'Brien suggested that he answer questions as asked, and some bandying of words passed until the court interfered. Mr. O'Brien, address ing trie court, said, ''Your Honor, the witness replies 'My dear boy.' I say that there is no paternal relation between us, and 1 am not a boy." Judge Williams— The witness will answer questions directly. Mr. Pettie— Oh, yes. All right. I meant no disrespect to the court. When asked by Mr. O'Brien again why he did not move the train, being, as he said, a practical engineer, Mr. Fettle said he had other business at that time. Mr. Pettie was asked if Best and Kellett had not been taken buck into the service of the company. Judsre Williams broke in with the statement that the question was im material. That was a matter of taste or business. Some roads would take the men back and others would not. J. C. Heron, who had charge of the roundhouse of the (ireat Northern, testified that Best came to him and re ported, and told him to put another man on his engine, as he could go ao fur ther. Tiis witness turned the matter over to Mr. Morrison and went huiue and sawed wood the remainder of the day. X B. Wakemau, general suDerin tendentol the road, testified to seeiug the train on the track. Mark McKendrick.of the mail service, testitied that there were usually about a dozen pouches sent out on the Eastern Minnesota train daily. II« bad no means of knowing whether or uot any mail had been sent out on the train in question, or whether there was any mail in the sacks. Some times there was no mail in some of the sacks sent out for small towns. Judge Williams took hold of the witness and questioned him sharply, after charging him, as a servant of the government, to answer just such questions as were asked, and to reinemoer the duties of his oflice. The questioning, however, resulted in no definite information as to there being mail iv the sacks put on the train. The government rested its case shortly after 4 o'clock. The Jury was then excused and Mr. O'Brien argued a motion to dismiss the 'claiming that the indictment is defective and the evidence does not support a charge of conspiracy and obstruction." tie as serted that the indictment does not make use of proper terms charging a knowing and willful conspiracy or obstruction, Ho asserted that merely quitting work was not an obstruction. The comoany reserved the right to send such men as it desired on a certain train, or to .send Us men where it pleased, and this right was as broad as the right of the .men to quit work, being responsible; only in civil damages for the cons u quence? or leav ing work without notice. ». The assertion .was made that- the evidence failed to support a charge .of . conspiracy of obstruction. It had not even been . shown that ' the " defend ants belonged to a secret organization or Interfered with the moving of .trains; . The meu had uot shipped for a voyage, and could not bo held to be obliged to take a train out, evan if there were not other engineers and engines at haud to take out the train in question. The attorneys for the government will reply to the argument of Mr. O'Brien at the opening of court this morning-, and Judge Williams wiil determine whether tiio case shall be proceeded witn or dismissed. Democrats Can Win If They Will. In 1800 Minnesota cast one hundred and fifty-two thousand seven hundred aud eighty votes against the Republican party. There were only eighty-eight thousand one hundred and eleven Re publican votes cast. The majority azninst the Reoublicans was aixiy four thousand six hundred and seventy one. Do you call that a Republican state? PLENTY OK WATER. The Drought Can Uause No Pam- iue in St. Paul. The unprecedented long season (if droiuht lias caused no inconsiderable amount of alarm among the people of this city concerning the possibility of the water supply giving out. A chat with Supt. Overtoil, of the water de partment, proved not only highly iuter csting, but served at once to allay any fears which might exist on that scora. During July - two experiments were made by the department, for the pur pose of inatciog a test. The reservoira were entirely shut off, and pumping was done directly into the mains. These experiments were made between the hours of 12 midnight and 4 in the moru iag, or at a season when comparatively few manufacturing establishments are in operation. The reading indicators of the pumps disclosed the fact that fuhy 6J per cent of the usual amount of water was sent through the mains. These figures show that at least si) per cent of the daily water consumption must nec essarily go to waste, as no such demand could be made upon the supply through natural channels at those hours. A result of these experiments will be a closer watch upon the wasting of water. Speaking of the pure supply of drink ing water, as furnished by the presetit system from the lakes, Mr. Overtoil stated that there was a sufficient supply visible and on hand to last ac least six mouths, even if not a drop of rain would fall during that period. But as the fall seasons usually bring heavy rains in this latitude no fears need be entertained that there will be any seri ous shortage. Besides the water system has direct connection with the Missis sippi river, and while not as wholesome water for domestic purposes, it would serve a3 a valuable reserve in case of a serious conflagration, should the de partment decide to save Hie supply la the reservoirs. A straight Democratic ticket will win in Minnesota this fall. There was "over sixty-four thousand inajofity against the Republicans in 1890. , V ASPUALi i i. . V .iJIENT, Favored for Seventh Street for Many Blocks. The board of public works had under consideration the matter of 'repaying Seventh street from Brook street to Third, at Seven corners. The esti mates furnished by the city engineer showed the following items of cost: Paving with cedar and concrete,, total cost ?25,050.0r § >.3o per foot. Paving witli asphalt $43,420, or 84 per foot. Tem porary repairs only $3,000, or 2S cents a foot. Thf>re wa3 a large attendance of prop erty owners,- who-. took the areatestjn terest in ilia proposition. From all out ward appearances all thoso present, seemed to realize the incalculable* value to be derived from baying a first-class); thoroughfare with .a ; first-class pave^ meut. William Pitt Murray acted in ; a measure as spokesman for the attend ing property owners. Waen the chair man of the board asked that all who were in favor of ' having the street re paved should hold lip their hands.every man in the room l.aised his hand, show- Ing a unanimous sentiment on that score. The next question for consider ation was the material with which the work should be done, and all were unanimous that asphalt would be the proper thing. v^ ■'£■ The matter was then adjourned until next Thursday. In the meantime the board will confer with the corporation": attorney to ascertain to what extent it may-proceed. - Should the wishes of the property ; owners, as. backed up by the board of public 'works, be carried out, ! Seventh, street will be one of the best public highways in St. Paul. There may be some objections advanced by owners > who • were not represented at yesterday's meeting, but those present hoped that the opposition would be small. Those present were all in favor of having tlie svork commenced at an. early dale. 2ho Republicans Are Simply ■ Overwhelmed.

" Absolutely PURE 6REEN GOODS HEARING, COMMISSIONER TIG HE MAY ' HOLD DAVIS. AND MAY •"- DISMISS JACOBS Government Produced a Witness (Who Testified That He Had Bought the "Green >! Goods" From ; "John : Ross'* — Prosecu- i tion Says Ilos i :Is ■ Davis—Ad journed to This : Afternoon.: . La3t evening: United States i Commis sioner Tigiie began tlie "final hearing of Davis and Jacobs on -the charge of be ing engaged iv the "green goods" busi ; ness. This is the third hearing . : of the matter, and this time the government presented some new witnesses whose testimony, had . a strong bearing in the premises. Commissioner Tighe inti- ; mated that. he considered that the evi deuce was strong enough to hold Davis to the grand jury, but that he was in some doubt as to the case made against Jacobs. ,- ; ." The defendants are accused of. carry- Ing on a "green goods" business ;in an office at 53 .Last Fifth street. -.-Inspector Wood, of the postoffice department, arrested the men on July 17. The alle gation is that during October \ the de fendants received at that office 144 .reg istered letters, coutahiiug In the aggre gate not less than $700 sent by parlies who boustht the "green goods." The government ' does not - allege that the defendants are guilty of issuing United btates money, out that. they were en gaged iv counterfeiting rare Confed erate money. The prosecution alleges that "John Ross" was a fictitious name used by the men for the purpose of get ting their mail; that the men advertised their business by means of a ! private circular,' similar to the regulation "green ' goods" circular, setting forth that John Ross would sell for >•"> §100 of genuine Confederate . money : iii ':';'. bills of the denomination of $100, §50. §20, 810, $5, • $2,. $1. In its complaint the government alleges J tl at these bills.forwarded to patrons through - : the mails, were not genuine Confederate money, but were printed right here in St. Paul; that they were reproduced here from the originals, and, therefore, were counterfeits of the Coufedeiate money, and that iv disposing of them as genuine Confederate money' Davis and Jacobs, under the alias of Ross, were perpetrating a fraud, which they were carrying on by means. of the United Stales mails. ; To prove this charge, the government last evening introduced the evidence of Wilson Wieseler, of Rhinelander, Wis,, who testified that lie had received tho alleged Confederate money from John Ross, of St. Paul, and in return - had sent to Ross' address at No. 53 East Fifth street, St. Paul, a registered letter containing $5 genuine; United States currency in payment iheretor. The •witness Wieseler identified a $50 Con ' federate bill -is one received byhitiiseif I from .Ross ;i'he_:alsb identified a circular I as one sent: him by - Ross.' ri Postmaster 1 De Witt S. Johnson, of Rhinelander, tes tified to registered letters from the wit ness Wieseler to Ross, of St. Paul, pass ing through his hands, and Capt. Castle, St. Paul uostmaster, testified to receiv ing and delivering letters from here to Ross' address. No. 53 E.ist Fifth street. Wilson S. Tiittle and Joseph George T. Davie.s of St. Paul, collection agents, testified to collecting a bill from John Ross owed by "John Ross," from Edwin J. Davis, one of the defendants, thus establishing a connection between Davis i and Ross, and identifying Davis as Ross. George Exeter, a St. Paul letter carrier, testified to carrying registered letters for John Ross to the office occu pied by Davis & Jacobs. : Upon the government announcing it had introduced all its evidence Attorney Beim Davis, lor the defense, moved to dismiss on the ground that the govern ment had failed entirely to connect the two defendants, Davis and Jacobs, with "John Ross," or to identify either one of them as John Ross, and began his argument to substantiate his claim. Commissioner Tighe . stopped the •■■•" .'attorney, . and, summing up the case very briefly, announced that he considered the trovornment had introduced sufficient evidence to war- I rant his holding the defendant Davis to j the federal grand jury, which sits next I January; but as regarded " Mr. Jadobs, j the other defendant, he was not sure. ! that the government had succeeded in | identifying -Jacobs with the -alleged : fraud. At this juncture Attorney Davis j jumped excitedly to his feet and reiter ated that the government had not made a case against the defendants and as serted that he could produce witnesses I that would prove that John' Ross really exists in- propria persona, and farther, that he had been smuggled out of St. Paul by the government in order to convict the defendants, Davis and JacoD-s. Commissioner Tijthe re quested Attorney Davis to bring on his witnesses and to produce Mr. Ross. Commissioner Tignu announced that he would meet the attorneys this after noon at 2 o'clock, and it they desired to Introduce more evidence he would ap point a time for hearing it, and if they decided to allow the case to rest as it is, he, would decide vviietiu:r or not to hold • one or both of the defendants to the graudjury. ■ " ■■■• PARS!

B,a ;d Company A will dedicate the monument at Birch Coulee on Sept. 3, so that the interval between Sept. 3 and 8 will be selected to hold the regimental reunion. As it is desirous not to place any ob stacle in the way of having the national G. A. U. encampment in this city in 1885 it is suggested that the Bth of Sep tember be the most suitable date, from the facts that the- veterans attending tne national encampment will come through St. Paul and take in the regi mental reunion on their way, and then leave with the headquarters train on the Sth, Which also carries the St. Paul Commercial club delegation, who go through to Pitisbur* for the purpose of extending the hospitalities of St. Paul to the G.

TWO MEN' AKRESTED Charged With trie Attack on the Milwaukee Train. Ever since the brutal and cowardly attack made by a number of strikers upon a Milwaukee freight train, which occurred last Friday night between this city and Mendota, the detectives of the Milwaukee road, aided by the city officers, have been quietly but per sistently at work upon the case. Fire man Perrin, who tared worse than any of the other members of the train crew, was able to furnish the officers some information on which to base op erations. As a result of the work Frank Keegan and El Morrison were placed under arrest lust night and taken to the central station about 1 o'clock. The arrest was made on state warrants issued from the couuty attorney's office. The war rants charge the men with assault. It is more than likely that a more seri ous charge will follow if the identity of the men can be established, as holding up a train under any consideration is a penitentiary offense. Other arrests are likely to lollow in the course of tne next few days, and the Milwaukee road mnnagementis fully determined to push the ca-es a;a;i si the m.ll and put a siup to further acts of thai (Uitutteier.
