HAD A DOIMR JYIIIiL
I»OLICE CAPTURE A QUARTETTE OF
COUNTERFEITERS AND BAD
MONEY SPREADERS,
STREET CAR CONS CONNED.
THE BELL CORD FRATERNITY
WERE WORKED FOR ALL THEY
WOULD STAND.
BOTH CITIES SHELTERED THEM.
Two of the Four Lived In St.
I'll 4t I aud Two in the Slatar
City.
The police department, and especial
ly Chief of Detectives Schweitzer, are
elated over the clever capture of a
pang of counterfeiters, together with a
complete outfit for the manufacture of
bogus silver dollars. Two prisoners
were captured in St. Paul, Richard
Munro%, alias Richard Smith, and
Jack Parker. These two were ar
rested on "Friday, and yesterday after
noon Leonard O. Partello and his wife,
Celia Partello, were arrested in Min
neapolis. In addition to the capture
of the gang over $100 in bogus coins
was gathered in and a complete coun
terfeiter's outfit secured.
Last Tuesday afternoon Supt. Smith,
of the St. Paul Street Railroad com
pany, was informed that a large num
ber of counterfeit silver dollars were
being passed on the conductors of the
various lines in the city. The street
car company was not a cent the los
er by the counterfeits, as the con
ductors are obliged to make good for
any bad money they take In during the
day. On Wednesday conductors on the
Seventh street line received seven dol
lars in silver dollars that the foreman
at the barn would not take. Other
lines in the city were also worked by
the counterfeiters, or their pals, and
the total amount which the conductors
had to make good out of their earnings
is estimated at over $100.
The matter was placed in the hands
of the police department, and a de
scription given the detectives of one
of the parties who made a practice of
riding on the various lines and invari
ably tendering a silver dollar for his
fare. The fellow was described as a
lame man, who went about with the!
aid of a cane. Detectives Werrick
and Murnane were detailed on the
case, and on Thursday night they met
Jack Parker on Seventh street. The
fellow answered the description of the
one who was passing the bad dollars,
and on Friday morning he was taken
in custody and given a cross-examina
tion by Chief of Detectives Schweitzer.
Parker, who is not unknown to the
police, could not give a very clear
statement as to how he happened to
be so flush with money, and at the
same time not do any work for a
living. He did not get confidential
with the chief and was given a few
hours in the sweat box. He was al
lowed the privilege of another inter
view, and this time gave up more read
ily. He said he had heard that an old
man named Munroe was making the
money and selling it to whoever would
purchase.
Chief Schweitzer did not take kindly
to his part of the story, but became
convinced that Parker was one of the
gang which was doing business in St
Paul and Minneapolis. Parker evidently
said a deal more than is given out for
Friday night the detectives landed
Munroe behind the bars. Munroe has
been living in a small cottage in th°
rear of 669 Jackson street. The cottage
belongs to H. H. Hart, of the board of
corrections and charities. Munroe, who
was released from the states prison in
February, had informed Mr. Hart that
he was arrxlous to reform. In order to
assist Munroe in his reformation, Mr.
Hart allowed him to occupy the cot
tage and also take care of the Hart
residence whiile the family were at the
lake during the summer. The detec
tives took into the game at this stage,
W. H. Gallagher, a secret service offi
cer from Chicago, who had been sent
to St. PauJ to make Investigations in
regard to the counterfeiting case. A
visit was paid to the residence of Mun
roe on Jackson street and a dray load
of tools and apparatus secured by the
officers. The outfit includes everything
known or needed in the manufacture
of bogus coins. There were melting
pots, ladles, half a dozen moulds, and
tools of numerous kinds and descrip
tions.
Some of the moulds found In Mun
roe's apartments still contained the
counterfeits which had not been taken
out to be poliished. Mr. Gallagher of the
secret corps said the plant operated by
Munroe was the best he had ever seen
and the aolns turned out were so ex
cellent In weight and finish, as to al
most defy detection. The outfit having
been brought to the station, Parker and
Munroe were given another cross ex-

amlnation by Chief Schweitzer, and the
result of this was that yesterday after
noon Mr. Gallagher visited Minneapolis
and with the assistance of Detectives
Doyle, Howard and Stavlo, flat No. 6
on the third floor of 1023 Washington
avenue south, was raided. Leonard O.
Partello and his wife, at the time the
officers arrived, were busily engaged in
silver plating and polishing a batch of
$50 of the counterfeit coins. Munroe
according to the statements of Mr. Gal
lgher made the coins, but not being a
practical mechanic at the plating busi
ness, turned the result of hiß work over
to the Partello's who put on the finish
ing touches. Among the effects found In
Munroe's appartments was a complete
plating outfit, but he evidently found
he was not an expert in this branch and
let the work out.
Munroe, who is forty-six years old,
has a criminal record, but has never
figured in the counterfeiting line be
fore. He has a fine appearance wearing
a long beard and mustache, and has
the appearance of a student rather
than a criminal. He was cent to the
penitentiary from Minneapolis for the
robbery of Lucas Bros.' store and was
discharged in February last. Chief
Schweitzer says that Munroe has been
engaged in the counterfeiting line since
April last, and while he has been re
sponsible for a deal of the bogus coin
which has been floating about the twin
cities, It has only been a week that the
output of the coin has been large. The
police estimate that about $300 worth
of the bad dollar have been put in
circulation. Munroe would not talk,
saying that he did not care to put his
head any further In the noose than he
could help.
Fartello, arrested in Minneapolis, al
so has a criminal record, having been
sentenced from St, Paul about eight
years ago to the states prison for forg
ery. He was convicted of being con
cerned in a real estate forgery case in
which a number of persons were swind
led by means of forged deeds and
worthless property.
Detective Gallagher of the secret ser
vice says the capture was a clever one
and reflects great credit on the detec
tive department. The prisoners will be
arraigned before United States Com
missioner McCafferty on Monday, and
held to await the action of the grand
jury.
Oscar West, who keeps a saloon on
East Seventh street, takes exception
to the statement published in an even
ing paper connecting him and his
saloon with Parker and Munroe. West
says he did not lend Parker any
money, that neither Parker nor Mon
roe were in his saloon Friday night. He
claims that Detective Werrick is de
sirous of giving him the worst of it
and for that reason made up the story
about Parker and Monroe visiting his
saloon just before the latter was ar
rested.
It Is understood that Parker will be
allowed to turn states evidence and
for the assistance he gave the officers
in capturing the other members of the
gang will be given the best of it.
BIG PURSES HUNG UP.
Effort to Get Some Great Races for
the Fair.
The committee on races and attrac
tions of the state fair board of man
agers, was in session yesterday after
noon at Hotel Ryan, St. Paul. The
committee decided upon making the
races an unusually strong feature of
the fair this year, owing to the presence
of so many visitors. President Weaver
was authorized to go to Detroit next
week and offer a good sized purse to
secure the great racers Joe Patchen,
John R. Gentry, Robert J. and Badge.
He will endeavor to get all four if it is
possible, but if this deal cannot be
carried out he is to arrange to get
Patchen and some competitor that will
force him to do his best. It was de
cided also to add a 2:08 pacing race for
which a thousand dollars will be
offered, and either a pacing race for
three-year-olds or a trotting race for
four-year olds, for which ,b,e a44gd.
This will make an event of great in
terest also, as it is offered with the
knowledge that it will attract some
very fast horses. The committee also
decided to add either a pacing race for
three-year olds or a trotting race for
4-year olds. These three races. will fill
the vacancy in the racing programme
and secure a great card for each of the
four days. It should be remembered
that in the races this year all races
end with the third heat, every heat to
be a race, and the winner to receive
what he is entitled to regardless of
what may subsequently occur to him.
This plan Is calculated to do away
with the fault of prolonging races be
yond the point of interest, and will en
able the programme to be put on with
very little of tho vexatious delays
that mar so many racing meetings.
The committee also decided to secure
a fine collection of Indians, and to
have them give their war dances, races,
games of la crosse, bow and arrow
shooting contests, etc. They are Jo live
In a genuine Indian village. Arrange
ments for transporting the people to
the grounds from St. Paul and Minne
apolis shall be made In view of the
large attendance anticipated. The street
railway company will put in a loop on
the grounds which will do away with
the delays incident to the switching of
cars. The railroads are also to run
convenient trains.
Sid Black, the trick cyclist, has been
secured to give exhibitione daily. The
Question of music was not decided up
on further than that a .band of nation
al reputation, if possible, will be se
cured. The Northern Pacific railroad
gives notice that it will make a bigger
display than ever before, and was
I granted additional space.
THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1896.
TEflGfllflG TO SAVE
more: regarding the provi
dent FUND SCHEME PROPOSED
BY JACKSON.
IT ENCOURAGES THRIFT,
BY INDUCING THE POOR TO LAY BY
FUNDS FOR THE INEVITABLE)
RAINY DAY.
NOT AMONG THE POOR ALONE.
Many Fairly Well-to-do Merchant*
and BasinFii Men Are Patron*
of the Scheme.
Because of the strong recommend
ation made by Secretary Jackson of
the Associated Charities in his recent
quarterly report published in the
Globe, a reporter called upon him
to learn more concerning the pro
posed Provident Fund, a scheme
for "encouraging small savings by peo
ple of meager incomes." The subject
being introduced, Mr. Jackson at once
became greatly Interested and said,
"The object of the Associated Charities
is to prevent as well as to cure extreme
poverty, and one of the most effective
ways to accomplish this result is to
cultivate saving habits, because Im
providence is a factor in nearly all pov
erty. Our experience has taught us that
we ought, as far as possible, to nullify
this far reaching cause of distress.
Americans, both rich and poor, are ex
travagant as compared with the other
most enlightened nations, and, with the
poorer people, disappointment and dis
couragement often intensifies improvi
dent habits. Saving is the first step
towards rising permanently out of
need; often, it is the only way by which
the poor may avoid asking alms in
emergencies."
"Then," said the reporter, "it would
seem there must be many such funds
established."
Mr. Jackson: "Yes; there is such a
fund under the control of an associ
ation similar to ours in New York, Bos
ton, Buffalo, and in nearly every* large
city as well as in many of the smaller
cxties. The Associated Charities of Dcs
Moines just established such a fund
there; and Indianapolis says: "Our Pro
vident Savings is one of the strong
arms of our charity work." There they
call on 900 people a week, and, in 1895
they collected $9,795. The committee in
charge of this fund in New York City
say: "There is no philanthropy so use
ful for so small an expense." In 1890
they had 55 sub-stations, 11,690 deposi
tors, and $5,568.57 net deposits; in 1896
there were 300 sub-stations, 52,187 de
positors, and $31,440.16 net deposits."
"Something like a bank," the G1 o b c
man broke in.
"No, not a bank. You know that it
is not uncommon for a person to leave
his savings with a friend for safe
keeping. This fund simply takes the
place of that friend. As soon as the
savings amounts to $3, or $5 the de
positor is encouraged to open his own
account in a savings bank, where he
can obtain interest. No interest is paid
by Provident Funds, because the de
posit is so small and the time is so
short as to make it impracticable. The
Fund is simply the agent of the one !
who is saving, and its sole responsibil- j
lty ends when it has deposited the i
savings in the duly approved savings
bank. Whatever interest the bank
pays on these combined deposits ap
plies on the cost of collection."
"How are collections usually made?"
"There is not usually enough money
or personal interest with the depositors
to induce them to deposit in a bank
and the managers of nearly all the
successful Funds send collectors to the
I people at their homes, at large estab-
I lishments, wherever people are regular
ly to be found.. You must get near the
people if you would influence them, and
the personality of an interested visitor
must be injected into the business of
saving if many are to be impressed
with its need or its utility. The col
lector must call regularly, that alone
sets a good example."
"How are depositors induced to open
accounts?"
"Usually savings are commenced for
a definite purpose, for clothing, food,
fuel or, perhaps, for the purpose of
making a present, but I have known
families, commencing thus to save,
who so developed the habit that after
a time a home was secured and, later,
a small business or shop was establish
ed. The old saying, 'a penny saved two
pence earned' is well illustrated and its
proof is taught in a practical way by
this scheme. It will be important if
some shall save for next winter's dull
spell, but more important if frugal
habits are established."
"How are small accounts kept with
so many depositors?"
"There are two plans in common use
-^the simpler is the stamp savings sys
tem, which is more convenient for the
depositor and saves bookkeeping. By
this plan each depositor is provided
with a card upon which the rules and
conditions are plainly printed. To these
he subscribes his name and address.
His name, address and occupation are
subscribed to a smaller card which is
filed alphabetically in the central office.
Each time the collector calls the depos
itor hands to her whatever money he
has saved, and the receipt therefor is a
specially prepared attractive stamp,
which is affixed to the depositor's card.
Deposits can be made in no other way.
The cards are not transferable, so no
one but the depositor can make a with
drawal."
"Why has not the scheme been pro
posed sooner?"
"It should have been ecept our oth
er work needed to bewell advanced be
fore this could be undertaken wisely
and economically. We have put for
ward no plans until the success of pre
vious undertakings warranted it. All
essential parts of this plan have been
thoroughly tried and proven."
"The work of friendly visitors has
so developed as to need an agent to
look after certain common details The
duties of the collector take* her into
the same districts frequented by the
frienly visitor, hence a collector can
easily act as agent, especially as colec
tor's duties are heaviest in summer
when the friendly visitors do the
least."
"No; all who use provident funds are
not on the poor list, but I have seen
many a family, with a capable hus
.2Hi On the poor list in an emergency,
because they failed to lay by snvai!
sums when it could easily have been
done."
"Yes; volunteers can act as collectors
In certain districts, and I hope that
some people who are anxious to do
only personal work will here see an
unusual opportunity for usefulness."

TIRED OUT.
A Common Condition Among Amer
ican Women.
Women, especially housekeepers, are
subject to a condiiiqn of body very fit
ly expressed as ''chronic tired." It is
not always because they are over
worked, or because mihey have any dis
tinct dieeaee, nor yet because they do
not take proper care of themselves; but
d<nit>tless each one of these causes con
tributes to the { result. Some chronic
difficulty peculiar to their sex, perhaps
not very bad, but Just enough to pro
duce a continual^ nerve waste. This
unfits them for the duties of the house
hold, which they must attend to. Too
tired to eat we'll, too nervous to sleep
well, they get deeper and deeper Into
the quagmire of discouragement.
Pe-ru-na is the remedy all such peo
ple need. It takes only a few doses to
convince any woman that she has
found exactly the remedy. It soothea
the nerves while it strengthens them;
it increases the appetite while it im
proves digestion; it gives tone and elas
ticity to the circulation. Discourage
ments vanish, despondenoy ceases.
Thousand are saying: "Pe-ru-na has
made a new woman of m«." It is only
necessary to take Pe-ru-na exactly as
directed on the bottle. Such women
may have a copy of Dr. Hartman's
little book on diseases peculiar to wo
men. Sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company, Columibus,
Ohio. This book contains much infor
mation entirely new to most people.
Those who prefer to become regular
patients of Dr. Hartman should send
symptoms, duration of sickness and
kind of treatment already received,
.when the Dootor will send them direc
tions for treatment free of charge. All
letters strictly confidential.
OFFICIAL BACtt.Lt CHASER.
Applicants for Position In the Lab
oratory Are Examined.
Four applicants for the position of
assistant in the bacteriological lab"
tory attached to the health depart
ment, were examined yesterday by
Deputy Health Commissioner Rothrock.
One of the applicants is a young
woman, who is a graduate of Ann
Arbor medical college. The three gen
tlemen who underwent examination
have also attained the degree of M. D.
The examination was both practical
and theoretical. Each applicant was
required to perform certain work and
to answer, in writing, several ques
tions. Dr. Rothrock says that he can
not tell who 'has passed the best ex
amination until he has read the papers.
He will render his decision tomorrow.
The successful applicant will be ap
pointed assistant in the laboratory for
the balance of the year at a salary

BAD OUTLOOK FOR DOGS.
They Will b<* Given Short Shrift if
I nlioensed.
The dog catchers will go to work
bright and early Monday morning.
They have secured their commissions,
and the assistant teamsters are all
ready to do their share of the work.
The dog pound at Eagle street and the
river, has been fitted up again. The
dogs gathered in will be deposited in
the pound. They may be drowned five
minutes later or they may be preserved
for 5 days. The valuable dogs will be
kept until the last minute, and per
haps a few minutes later, for their
owners might take it into their heads
to redeem them. But the luckless curs,
who have no friends but the street
gamins, will be spgiused under water be
fore they have a chance to become
hungry.

K. C. & OMAHA SALE COMES UP
FOR CONSIDERATION BY JUDGE
SAXBOUX OF THE FEDERAL
COURT THIS WEEK,
HE THINKS THAT BETTER TIMES
; 9
Are Coming and the Union Pacific
"Will Profit But Not Through
Free Silver.
B. Ellery Anderson, of New York,
one of the receivers of the Union Pa
cific railway, accompanied by W. R.
Kelley, 'general counsel for the re
ceivers, is in the city. The visit of
these two gentlemen at this time has '
no special significance in connection
with Northern Pacific affairs, except
that an application will be made for
confirmation of the sale of Kansas
City and Omaha railway, which was
sold on July Bth for $150,000. This line
is 193 miles in length, and has a bond
ed indebtednes of $2,700,000. This mat
ter will be placed before Judge San
born, of the United States circuit
court, early next week.
They will also present an application '
for the payment of interest coupons
on the Oregon Short Line, and Utah !
and Northern, and if approved interest
Will be ordered paid in thirty or sixty !
days.
It is also conceded that the Oregon
Short Line will pass out of the hands
of the receivers as soon as reorganized.
In conversation with Mr. Anderson,
regarding Northern Pacific affairs, he
stated to the Globe "that a reor
ganization of the Union Pacific would
probably take place sometime in Sep
tember, and that it would be on some
basis commensurate with the earnings,
Although there is no improvement in
the earnings of this road, it is ex
pected that with good crops, cheaper
good from the East, and not free i
coinage, that there will be a return of
prosperity. Mr. Anderson expressed
profound sympathy for the people of
the South and West, but hardly agreed
with them as to the proper remedy
which would bring about better condi
tions. Mr. Anderson was of the opin
ion that the present condition of af
fairs throughout the West, and par
ticularly in the state of Nebraska,
where during the past two years their
population had shown a decrease of
something like one hundred thousand,
and in the city of Omaha, where a
decrease of possjbly forty thousand
was shown, was due to poor crops in
past years and the unsettled business
conditions incident to a presidential
election.
Mr. Anderson is domiciled at the
Ryan, and will remain in the city until
the middle of next week, returning
direct to New York.

other tumble in grain rates today, the
Illinois Central being the road respon
sible for the cut. It announced that
from all points where the old rate to
this city was 6 or 7 cents per hundred,
it will make a rate of 5 cents, thus
making a maximum reduction of two
ec-nts on all short haul business. The
Illinois Central has been making a
fight to keep the rates to New Orleans
on a parity with those made to this
city by the Missouri river roads and
the latest cut was to make the reduc
tions that have been put into effect
heretofore reach the points from which
the grain would have to pass through
Chicago on its way to the South.

OMAHA, July 18.— The Union Pacific
has broken away from other Western
roads in the conditione binding the sale
of the tickets to the annual convention
of veteran firemen soon -to be held in
Salt Lake. The rate adopted by roads
in the Western Passenger association
was one regular fare plus $2, on the

common points to the firemen, and fur
ther 'allowed them stop over privileges

Oregon, as has been set forth in the
published decrees. It is only conjec
ture at this time what turn affairs in
connection with this sale may take
place. As has been noted before in
these columns, a suit is now pending
before J. D. Smith, commissioner of the
United States circuit court, for the
Wisconsin district; in which Morton S.
Paton, E. S. Christian and H. O. Ar
mour seek to set aside the decree of
foreclosure and enjoin sale of same,
claiming to be a general creditor of the
Northern Pacific Railway company to
the extent of between $5,000,000 and
$0,000,000.
Their claim is that in the reorganiza
tion scheme the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company are
allowed to participate, and that this is
unfair to the general creditors of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
who, they claim, should be. allowed to
come in ahead of the stockholders, and
as holders of bonds od? the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern railway, the
payment of which, principal and inter
est, was guaranteed by the Northern
Pacific Railway company.
GREAT JOY IN SEATTLE.
New Steamship Compact Is a Dig
• • Thing? for It.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 18.— The an
nouncement from St. Paul that a con
tract has been signed between repre
sentatives of the big Japanese steam
ship line, the Nippon Tusen Kaisha,
and President Hill, of the Great
Northern, whereby Seattle is made the
American terminus of the steamship
line, has caused great rejoicing here.
The Nippon Yusen Kaish^ is the Royal
Mail Steamship company of Japan, and
has In the neighborhood of fifty ves
sels, representing 50,000 tons carrying
capacity. They are building in Eng
land ten ships of 5,000 tons each, bring
ing their total carrying capacity up to
about 100,000 tons. The first ship to
come to this port will not be one of the
regular vessels, but suitable ones de
signed for this trade are being built in
England.
The coming of this line to Seattle
settles for all time the dispute as to
what city will be the Pacific coast
terminus of the Great Northern. The
steamers of the Northern Pacific, line
will also come here, and enlarged
docking facilities are already under
way. The contest to secure this prize
was between Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land, San Francisco and San Diego.
New Ticket Form.
CHICAGO, July 18.— The roads of the Cen

new form of ticket to be used in connection
with excursion business, wholly local to the
territory of the committee. It is an op»n
form of round-trip excursion ticket and much
freer from restrictions than the ticket which
has been in use for the same class of busi
ness up to this time.

THISTLE AGENT FAILS.
Even the Bicycle Bnttineas Is Not a
Mint.
Almost immediately following the fil
ing in the district court yesterday
morning of a deed of assignment on
the part of C. S. Neutson, doing busi
ness as the Thistle Cycle company, to
James A. Burrlchter, was also filed a
suit against C. S. Neutson, doing busi
ness as the Thistle Cycle company, by
the Meacham Arms company to recover
$985 for "goods sold and delivered,"
and garnishling the Merchants' National
bank, of this city.
Mr. Neutson, who has been the only
local agent for the Thistle bicycle since
that machine was put on the market,
was asked, concerning his assignment,
and stated that' the Fulton Machine
company, of Chicago, which manufact
ures the Thistle wheel, had nothing to
do with his action. According to his
statement the Meacbam Arms -com
pany, of St. Louis, was the maker of
a cheaper wheel which he had handled,
and they had demanded payment be
fore their entire account was due. not
withstanding Tan agreement of a differ
ent nature with their agent.
Recently a number of Chicago bicycle
manufactories have been forced to the
wall, and, in the ensuing panic, it is
claimed the rumer gained credence that
the Fulton company would also be forc
ed to assign. This fact, Mr. Neutson be
lieved, was the reason why some of his
creditors had been pushing their claims
and had made his assignment neces
sary. He thought his liabilities would
probably reach $5,000. while his assets,
exclusive of the fixtures in his store,
which he had put in at a cost of $1,000,
would amount to about $4,000.
Concerning the stock which he has on
hand Mr. Neutson stated that some of
the wheels belonged to the factories,
others to the agent in Minneapolis, and
still others to himself.
"TRILBY" COMING HERE.
Cooper's Great Painting: to be Shown
Here Next Week.
Astley D M. Cooper's masterpiece
"Trilby" the painting recently exhibit
ed at the cycle show in Minneapolis,
and later on Nicollet avenue, will be
placed on exhibition in St. Paul at 417
Wabasha street, beginning Tuesday
next. This great painting has been
constantly on exhibition for nearly a
year in the different large cities of the
country and has been visited by over
850,000 people. The attendance in Min
neapolis was 32,000 and among this
number were a great many St. Paul
people who can testify to the merits
of this celebrated painting.
The picture represents the heroine of
Dv Mauriers famous novel posing for
the artists of Paris, and so true to life
is it that the visitor can hardly believe
it a painting. Art critic 3 everywhere
agree that the effect produced in this
picture has never been equalled on
canvas. Cooper has painted several
pictures that has attracted world wide
attention, but "Trilby" is his master
piece. The picture Is valued at $25,000.
It will no doubt be largely patronized.
NOW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
•
In May last, when it was known that
the Republican city ticket was elected,
among other rumors circulated was one
to the effect that John T. Black, ex
chief of the fire department, was to be
brought back from Duluth to resume
his old place. Little attention was
i>ai-d to the report, for the reason that
the present fire board is Democratic,
and will remain so for some time to
come. That there may be something
more than wind in the report is indi
cated by the following special dispatch
to the Globe received last evening:
Duluth, Minn., Special, July 18.— A St.
Paul man who stands close to the city ad
ministration was in Duluth today, and said
that a deal has been fixed up by which
Chief Black, of the Duluth fire department,
is to be again placed at the head of the St.
Paul department as soon as the term of
Chief Jackson expires. Mr. Black was at
the head of the St. Paul fire forces for sev
eral years.
Chief Jackson's term does not expire
until next spring, unless he should be
summarily removed by the board,
which is anything but probable.
