James Brown, the Convict That Escaped From the Stillwater Prison, WAS TRAPPED IN ST. PAUL Was Sent to the Workhouse for the Larceny of an Overcoat. GOV. RAMSEY MAKES A KICK. Doesn't Want Sixth Street Paved With Asphalt West of Wabasha. James Hrown. a United States convict recently sent from Alabama lo be con fined in Stillwater for two yrar afar rob bing the mails, escaped from "the state's prison Sunday night, lie was captured in this city yesterday morning. Brown stole a ride on an Omaha freight train to St. Pauh Early yesterday Morning he dropped off in the Omaha yards. It was not yet daylight, and Brown was anxious to tret ria of or cover up his prison uniform before sunrise. He was aitired in the garments of plain gray worn in tha third grade, that to which the best-behaved prisoners are assigned. With this idea in view, Brown ap proached a flag house and asked the occupant, whose name is J. M. Magnet, if he could spare him some old clothes, as ha was thinly clad and needed them very much. llagnei gave Brown a cast-oft coat and vest. A mo ment later Magnei was obliged to leave the flair house to attend to his duty. While he was absent Brown showed ins srratitude by appropriating the Hag man's overcoat. But the latter saw him making away with it and gave an alarm. A police officer soon caught Brown, and the tmtrol waeou conveyed him to the Ducas street station. At 9a. m. Brown appeared in the police court, pleaded guilty and was sent to the workhouse for ninety days. From the description sent out from Stillwater Biuwn's identity was discovered soon after he arrived at the workhouse, lie will be taken back to stillwater.

Tlie hearing over the proposed pav ing of (Sixth street with asphalt, from Rosabel street to Smith avenue, was resumed yesterday afternoon before the board of public works. Quite a number of Sixth street property owners' were present to express their opinions. The majority favored the improvement be tween Rosabel and Wabasha, but those interested in the property between Wabasha and Smith avenue opposed it on the ground o f i lan | timed. Ex <jov. Ramsey said that a city with streets as well paved as Sixth street is between Wabasha and Smith avenue would be well enough off, and he there fore favored deteninz the improve ment until a new pavement was actu ally needed. L. E. Reed, the banker, thought ihe matter ouuht to be post poned lor a year in order to afford the uropeity owners time to ascertain the durability of the asphalt pavement just laid on Sibley street from Fourth to seveuth. Mr. Reed, however, did not cry hard times, but on the contrary said that times were improving every day. Robert Mnnnheimer and Vice Presi dent Dunn, of the St. Paul Title Insur aiice and Trust company, urged the necessity of proceeding with the work as soon as possible. Mr. Dunn thought that Uie guaranty required by the city afforded adequate protection, and. pro vided it were insisted upi.n. Mr. Dunn approved of hnvmg the work done. The guaranty provides that the contractor snail tjuarantee the pavement for ten years to remain in good and perfect condition without expanse to city, and, to insure the carrying oat of these pro visions, 15 per cent of the contract price is to be retained in the city treasury until the end of the ten years, together with a bond covering the full contract price. The board adjourned thu heaiing until Jan. 3, and in the meantime the property owners on Sixth street be tween Sibley and Wabasha will cir culate a petition for paving that portion of the street. Attend the Auction Sale at Welter's, 23 East Seventh street. A Gold Watch ifiven away every evening. STOCK OOINCJ FAST. Successful Disposal of Victor Mm ing and Milling Stock. F. H. Pettingell, the official broker of the Victor Consolidated Gold Mining and Milline company, is having unpar alleled success in disposing of the treas ury stock of that organization. This assures the stockholders of havinsr a very advantageous mining proposition for their investment, as the proceeds are being utilized in legitimate mining. Tiie Calhoun claim belonging to this company is located and adjoining the famous Corolanus, which is one of the most heavy producers in the Cripple (reek district. President A. H. Wel>er visits the company every week, and is directing the "operations with his cus tomary ability. Mr. Weber is ably assisted by Thomas L. Darby, the deputy United States mineral sur veyor, who is located at Cripple Creek, and is giving the properties his personal supervision. Senator Will iam Gelder, of Denver, is associated with this enterprise, having invested very largely, lie is assisting Broker l'ettingell from time to time, and is to a certain extent responsible for the com pany's undoubted prosperous condition. Cripple Creek is producing more daily than was predicted by the most enthu siastic, and since the resuit of election capitalists are heavily intrusting them selves in mining properties throughout the entire mineral belt: besides the pop ulation is steadily increasing to an alarming extent, and Cripple Creek today is one of the most flourishing cities of its size in the country. It is a veritable city of gold, surrounded by a land of the yellow metal. Auction Sale at 2:;3O and 7:30 p. m., at A. S. VVeller's Jewelry Store, 23 East Seventh street.

For over half a century the eyes of the world have been upon Chicago, Its growth has been marvelous, its achieve ments unprecedented. What it is today nearly everybody in the civilized world knows. An interesting study, there fore, is the book just published by the Chicago Herald, entitled "Chicago in 1858." It contains a dozen handsomely executed half-tone engravings of views taken from the then highest point in the city, together with descriptive mat ter that will b« of especial interest to those who lived there before the great THE PAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORtflN'G, NOVEMBER 27, mv lire of 1871, and as a means of com par ison between the two peiiods will be valuable to many.

'2(s.—Mar tin Miller and Asher U. ( lews, both of New York, reached here on the early morning train from Chicago and re mained until noon. Mr. Miller and Mr. Clews are well known newspaper mop of (Jotham, and questioned concerning their mission to the Northwest, replied that their object was the purchase of the St. I'aul Dispatch. Inasmuch as nothing definite had yet been done they requested that the matter bo kept secret for the present. It is understood that the only hitch in the proposed purchase is on the question of price. At noon Messrs. Miller and Clesvs look an inler urbau car for St. Paul. Dm in? the afternoon an effort was made to Interview George Thompson, proprietor of the Dispatch, concerning the proposed deal, but Mr. Thompson didn't rare to talk on the subject evi dently, and no one of his subordinates had a word to say about it.

To the Editor of the Globe. lv Sunday's issue of the Globe, under the symposium head '•How to Accomplish Municipal Reform,'' George L. Farwell makes a number of nilsstatemeuts in regard to the conduct of the building inspector's department which I desire to correct. Allow me to say first, that had Mr. Farwell taken the trouble to call or write this office, iie could have had all the information he desired relating to tills department furnished him from the records, and we would have been spared the humiliation of having one of our citizens send broadcast defamatory statements reflecting on one of the most important departments of our mu nicipal government. Mr. Farwell says: "Any citizen can submit tiiere a plan for a proposed building, which, if ex amined at all, is done in a perfunctory manner, the permit issued for whatever amount may be agreed upon between builder and inspector, and the building goes up without any inspection from the office." 1 do not know where Mr. Farwell ob tained Ins information. Ido know that the above is a gross misstatement. Since my incumbency of the oflice of inspector of buildings I have personally examined and passed upon all plans submitted to this department, whether by owners or architects, and 1 think those who know me will admit tiiat 1 am not in the habit of conducting busi ness in a perfunctory manner. All buildings in process of erection or alteration are visited at least once a week by competent deputies, all of whom are first-class mechanics hi their respective lines, and reports on file in this office show how carefully is the supei vision exercised. The next para graph in the article states: "As now conducted, it is simply to mulct pros pective builders out of a lee to suppoit the office and its employes." To this I have to say: Soon after my blection to this office 1 addressed a letter to the assembly and board of aldermen advocating the repeal of the fee system. Those bodies repealed the tee clause in the then existing ordinance, and their action was approved by the mayor March 28, 1894. Since that time not a dollar has been received in this office for a building permit, although the same supervision has been exercised and the same services rendered as before. Thus one of Mr. Farvvell's sweeping charges a::d "glittering generalities" fails in the litrht of truth. As to the last clause in the indictment I will say that all buildings constructed or repaired since tile lotn day of Janu ary, I«'J4, have been done in strict ac cordance with plans and specifications passed upon by ttais department. It is unnecessary to issue a certificate of'completion wln jn we have carefully watcl'.ed the erection of a building. Our duty is not to see that private con tracts are executed, but that the public safety is protected, and if an owner de sires at any nine a certificate showing that his building is safely constructed, he can receive it free upon application. Yours respectfully, A. F. Gatger, Inspector of Buildings. St. Paul, Nov. 20, 18'J4. To Life Insurance Agents. E. W. Feet & Son, managers of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York for the State of Minnesota, are prepared to and will make special and very liberal inducements to men of good character and experience in the life insurance business for new business written during tbe balance of the year 18i»4. Apply immediately in person or by letter to the above firm, Manhattan Building, St. Paul. CAPITOL. TOOTS. Dr. Strong, of Carleton college, called on Secretary Hart yesterday. The stale auditor yesterday granted a loan of f.jOO to district 80, Redwood county. Senator Allen J. Greer, of Wahasha, and lion. J. J. Furlong, of Austin, calied on the governor yesterday. The state librarian has received Vol. 11, Quebec Revenue Reports, and Vol. l'J, Southeastern Reporter. The Fergus Falls state hospital has filed surreut expense lists with the state auditor amounting to $Z2~>.ZO. The Duluth Dress Stay company filed articles of incorporation with the sec retary of state yesterday. The capital stock is $25,000. The Winona Telephone company, with a capital stock of 185*000, hied articles of incorporation with the secretary of state yesterday. Charles Miller, the state boiler in spector of the First district, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Miller completes his second term this year, and he is the only member of the inspection except Boiler Inspector Clark who has never had an explosion.* Ida is a candidate for re-election, and has very good chance of being the choice of the gov ernor and the senate for the position for auother term. Chrysanthernuma and Clothing. The oopular Plymouth Clothing House, that continually keeps ttie cloth ing men of the Twin Cities busy trying to keep apace with their successful aod modern methods of doing business, made another scoop yesterday. In Nun day morning's Globe they announced a Thanksgiving sale of twenty varieties of Plymouth Chrysanthemums in pots at 15 and 25c each; and yesterday the fair sex for miles around visited the Plymouth. Tho first impression would be that bringing so many ladies, to their store would not sell men's and boys' clotbine; but the more conservative re alize that woman controls the world and dictates most of the purchases for the family. A VKIIITABLE FLOWER OARDEX. The Plymouth's M. Paul store is one of the handsomest in the city; and, with every portion gaiiy decorated with chrysanthemum* of every color of the rainbow, it presented a picture that was fascinating aud pleasing to the hun dreds of visitors. The sale will con tinue touaj and tomorrow. We don't keep Gas Fixtures and Glolms. We sell th«in at (.n; East Third street. Jf. V. Dwv«r Bros. Company. GRAND JURY AT WORK Rumor That There Will Be In dictments for Gambling: Is Unfounded. ED EDMUNDS PLEADS GUILTY. F. P. Ryder Seeking $10,000 Damages for the Falling: of a Sign. DIDN'T GET HER DIVORCE. Grist of Cases on Trial and Begun in the District Court. The grand jury assembled yesterday and repaired to their room for work, with a reminder by .Indue Brill that they had already been charged. The forenoon was taken up in considering four jail cases. There are three more ot these to be looked into. The names of those serving are: John t. Broderick, foreman; Charles VV. Eberlein, Frank W. Farwell. George A. W. Fairbrotlier. Robert 11. Dougan, Frank E. Draper, Archibald D. Mc- Leod, Theodore Draz, Max Frankel, Charles \V. Copley, Maurice Auerbach, John H. Allen, Christian Fry, David F. Colville, John W. Cramsie, Daniel E. Foiey, Cornelius M. Crowley, Willard Dennis and Dudley B. Finch. It is presumed that they will con clude the work on hand and make a final report today. The rumor that there will be indictments for gambling seems to be unfounded, as no move has Oeen made in that direction. Whatever may be true as to card sanies, it is not true that the slot machines are in opera tion. They were cleared out when the present administration took charge. So far as may be ascertained, there were no persons before the grand jury yes terday to tell any story as to gambling, ami none are known to be summoned to appear today. Edward Edmunds pleaded guilty of petty larceny before Judge Bull, and was sentenced to three mouths in the workhouse. Judge Egan's court is ensaged in try ing the case of Fraud* P. Ryder, as guardian, against Plummer P. Kinsey, in which 110,000 damages for injuries to Charles Ryder, a minor, are asked for. During a wind storm last June young Ryder was injured by the falling of a larae sign and brick wall from a build ing on Fifth street, it is alleged that a large wooden sign was attached to an artificial wall on the top of the building. The sin hung over the pavement and fell while the boy was passing, injuring him seriously. Judge Otis has denied the petition of Hattie ilardy for a divorce from John T. ilardy. It does not appear that John has deserted his wife for three yeais. but on the contrary has supported her for a large part of that period. John D. Butler asks judgment against Jncob Hoffman lor $300 due upon a promissory note. Judge Kerr's court is still engaged with the case involving the claim of Mrs. Johnßoomert atrainst the estate of Patrick Keosrh, wrought to recover for servicejj in taking care of Patrick Keotch in his lifetime. The claim was dis ailowed by the urobate court, and is now being tried upon an appeal to the disttict court. The case of Jacob Gundlach against Theodore Ilamm has been submitted to Judge Otis. This is an action to recover damages to real estate, occasioned by constructing a sidetrack to the Ilamm brewery. In the case of Albert A. Johnson against Charles E. Chapel, as sheriff, an intervening petition, has been filed by Mathias Frisk, as receiver of the effect* of Martin J. llausarn and John A. John son, setting up a claim to a stock of goods at 51(5 Rice street, which was levied upon by the sherirt,and s claimed by Albert A. Johnson under a chattel inorUa^e. Judge Otis heard yesterday afternoon the case of Husfli Murnane against An ton Walla et ai. brought to eject the de fendants from part ot a lot held under a tax title. .James Gannon, after an examination in the probate court yesterday, was or dered taken to the inebriate- depart ment of the Rochester hospital for treat ment. Jim Burns for Tria!. James 11. Burns will probably be put on trial this week upon one of two in dictments charging him with securing money from either the Second National or the Union bank upon a false certifi cate as county auditor. There is a question as to whether or not he will not plead guilty. If convicted as charged the lowest sentence will be rive years in the penitentiary. If he should plead guilty to one offense for grand larceny in the second degree the maxl nium sentence would be five years. It is said that he is halting on the sugges tion of pleading guilty in the hopes of getting off easier than he might if he stands trial. Isn't it perfectly lovely?

Last night there took place at Market hall the annual masquerade given by the the "Professional" club, of St. i'aul. It was a remarkable aggregation of cos tumes, the beautiful being strangely mingled with the grotesque. Seldom has there assembled in this hall a more fantastic display, 'lhere were about twenty-rive numbers on the dancing programme. Merriment ran high, and there was no lack of refreshments of a certain sort. That all enjoyed them selves goes almost without saying. Kleist's orchestra furnished the music. A prize of £50 in cash was given to the best dressed lady and gentleman, the most comically attired lady and gentle man and the best group. The iiiL'enious reporter had a hard time to filed an entrance, as so many yjiunu men, tilled with guile, tried to impose upon the ticket-taker at the head of the stairs. Tins outpost once passed, his troubles only begau. He passed across the ball room in search ot ißiormation, when a certain female of a squatiy build, with locks of tow and the mask of a wench, coyly approached him. Dignity forbade him from beat inir a retreat. Audaciously she seized him by the arm and toyed with his lam brtquius. She is toreiven, though, l.y this time.

COULDN'T LKT DRINK ALONE, HENCE HIS DOWNFALL Fire Board After the Hoodlums That Break the Alarm iioxes. In his October report Chief Jackson recommended the discharge of Daniel Donohne, driver for Hook and Ladder Company No. 4, on account of drunken ness upon the public streets while in uniform on two occasions—Oct. 15 and Oct. 31. Donohue was charged also with not paying his debts within a reason able time after contracting them. Com missioner Hughson, at ihe meeting of the tire board last night, moved for Donohne's dismissal for these causes and in the interest of discipline. This motion was unanimously adopted. Alarm boxes located at the corners of Victoria and Carroll, Laurel and Dale and at Ashland avenue and Arundel streets, were reported to have been broken within the last two weeks. Com missioner Prendergast moved that the matter be referred to the committee on machinery and instruments. It ap peared that these breakages were the result of the lawlessness of hoodlums. It was desired thattne above committee wait upon the mayor with the object of having a public reward offered, so that these lawless characters could be ar rested and dealt with according to law. This was carried. The matter of rebuilding the line of the tire department telegraph on Ken street, between Selby and Summit ave nues, came up. The poles are old and decayed, and the department has no material for the purpose suggested. The offer of the telephone company to re place the line with forty-fool poles, and granting the deparlmeut the use or the same for stringing its wires, was noted. '1 his would accommodate six or seven wires. Commissioner Prender nast thought the department should own its own line exclusively. Chief Jackson said that the relations between the deoartinent and the lelepnone com pany were of the friendliest nature, and they had often reciprocated favors. On motion of Commissioner Hughson, the telephone company's offer was ac cepted. The secretary submitted a report showing the following: Payments by comptroller to date SICT.OGtt 38 Accounts approved by board not yet paid by comptroller 3,028 73 October pay roll, approved by board 14.-24". 14 Total amount drawn against dep'ment funds $184,940 25 November salaries, estimated 14,217 (54 Total .51W.157 3'J As the department cannot exceed .?2ir>,(X>o per aunum.,the above will show how neatly the appropriation has been used up.

An informal meetingof the board will occur tonight to consider ways and means for conducting the department's business for the balance of tlie year, so as to be able to present to the common council the exact figures covering the amount of money required for the pur pose. On motion, authority was given to ad vertise tor 3,000 feet of new hose. When the board corn Dieted it.-> labors adjournment was taken to Friday after noon at 4 o'clock. AW this time the sec retary was instructed to have all current bills in shape so as to close up the busi ness of the department for the year so far as possible, and also to report how much money now remains on hand to the credit ot the department. Hnrso Incinerated. Fire broke out in a barn in the rear of 567 Ohio street about? o'clock last even tug, and before the lire department ar« rived practically destroyed the building and burned a horse to death.
