OFFICE OF THE dry CIJBKK,
Sr. PAUL, MINNESOTA,
February 5, 1878.
To the Honorable the President and Common
Council of the City of St. Paul.
GENTLEME N: The late grand jury of Ramsey
county was pleased in their final report to the
district court to arraign me before the bar of
public opinion, charging me with such negli
gence or misdemeanor in the conduct of the
office of City Clerk, as to virtually abolish the
elective fianchise.
As 1 have no other means of vindicating my
ofhcial integrity and conduci, I respectfully ask
that the Common Council will take the neces
r.firj steps for a thorough and impartial ex
amination into the charges pieferred by the
grand jury.
It is due to the public, as well as myself, that
this examination be had. If the charges be
true, I am not a proper person to discharge the
duties of City Clerk if false, the public should
be to advised, and the City Clerk exhonerated
from the odium of a charge which, unless dis
proved, necessarily must do him and his family
much harm. Assuring you, gentlemen, that 1
will afford you every facility in my power to
aid you in getting at all the facts, 1 am very
lespcctfully,
Your obedient servant,
M. J. O'CONNOB,

BEPOBT OP BOAKD OF PUBLIC WORKS."
Mr Rice
Resolved, That the attention of the Common
Council of the City of St. Paul be called to the
manner in which the men employed on the
street force are paid also
Jtesolved, That in the opinion of the Board of
Public Works, the men thus employed should
be paid in the same manner as other employees
are paid.
Adopted by Board of Pnblic Works February
2, 1878.

Of the Comptroller on the above
OFFI CE OF CITY COMPTROLLER,
February 5, 1878.
To the Honorable the President and Common
Council of the City of Saint Paul,
GENTLEMEN I present for your considera
tion the accompanying pay-rolls of the 1st and
2d district street forces, for the month of Jan
uary, 1878, to which a resolution of the Board
of Public Works is attached, calling the atten
tion of your honorable body to the manner
(without stating the manner) in which the men
employed on the street force are paid also re
solving, "that in the opinion of the Board of
Public Works the men thus employed should
be paid in the same manner as other employees
are paid."
Messrs. Timmc and Rice, and occasionally
the full Board, have approved as correct, the
monthly pay-rolls of the street force, furnished
by the Street Inspectors, after which the rolls
are referred to me for auditing and presenta
tion to the Common Council for their further
allowancecity orders then issue to the Street
Inspectors to pay the respective rolls, the In
spectors taking an acknowledgment upon the
roll from each of the men entitled to receive
payafter which the rolls are permanently filed
in the City Clerk's office.
The issuance of city orders to each of the
laborers specified in the pay rolls would involve
an immense amount of unnecessary labor and
responsibility, and "would be less check upon
the Street Inspectors than the present manner
of payment by issuing orders directly to the
inspectors. The manner of paying the rolls
has nothing to do with their correctness. If
they are correct at the ti me of their approval
by the Board of Public Works they most cer
tainly would be correct at any time afterwards.
The Board of Public Works elect the Street
Inspectors, and it is not to be presumed that
they would elect other than honest men
The Street Inspectors are city officers, sworn
to faithfully discharge their duties, and for
which they have given bonds to the city in the
amount of two thousand dollars each, there
fore the public treasury will in no way suffer
by issuing orders directly to the Inspectors^
provided the Board of Public Works perform
their duties before approving the pay rolls.
Very Respectfully,
JOHN W. ROCHE,
City Comptroller.
Accepted and adopted.

OUSCHRACK' S SWINDIiE.
A "Consistent Christian" Who Pretended
to be Dead to Make Money.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, gives the followi ng de
tails of the Schrack fraud, which has been
attracting attention during a few days past:
"A pio us fraud has been exposed in the
person of Joseph Henry Schrack, a member
of the old Swede church, in this city.
Schrack pretended to die, and came to life
again about ten days ago. Since
then he has been supported by his brethren.
His case has attracted great attention, and
accounts of his resurrection have been pub
lished in nearly every newspaper in the
country. pretended to have experienced
he ecstasies of heaven. The church of
which he is a member has investigated the
case, and the result is that the pastor, who
was to have administered communion to him
to-day, did not
come, and the attending
physician has discontinued his visits.
Schrack proves to be a disreputable char
acter, whose only notoriety heretofore was
the giving of remarkable entertainments
known in England as ''Drags." His partic
ular delight was to invite his own particular
friends, '-all men," to what he called a
'Drag," an English term, "where one-half
he company would be attired in women's
clothes and the remainder dressed in their
proper costume." A woman was never seen
to enter the house save the housekeeper. A
one of these drags Schrack boasted that his
evening dress had cost him $350, and the
expenses of the night reached $1,500.
Dr. Cantrell says now that Schrack un
doubtedly had nervous spasms of the heart,
but I believe they were produced by an ef
fort of his powerful will. is capable of
preventing, to a certain extent, the full vol
ume of air going into his longs, and thus
impairing the full action of his heart. This
he can do by drawing up his shoulders,
keeping his ribs stil', and making the mus
cles between the ribs rigid and this I
have detected by making the ex
amination of his ribs on Saturday, which is
the first time he has permitted me to do so
1 found him to be a perfectly healthy man,
and I believe him to be an impostor, a
scoundrel, and a dangerous man to the com
munity. Concerning his trance, I really and
honestlv beleve that he carried this thing too
far, and it was a real partial suspension of
animation beyond his control, and had it not
been that the cold air was allowed to circu
late around the body and shock the nervous
system, producing reaction, he would proba
bly have never recovered, and it would have
been a good thing for the community if he
had not
The members of the old Swede church
unite in the belief that Schrack had but
started upon a systematic course to ob
tain money und er false pretenses. has
told some of them, since his miraculous re
covery, that an Atlantic City hotel keeper
proffered him free board during all of next
summer, and that an amusement manager
had offered him $25,000 to exhibit himself as
he dead-rnan-come-to-life. "But," said Mr,
Schrack, "I could not accept: I am a constant
Christian."
Donnelly on O. Drown.
[Anti-Monopolist.
And now it is O Brown of the Mankato
Record who is working under the pay of the
book ring, and of course, denouncing us, to
prove to his employe rs that he is earning his
money. The fact is O Brown has never
forgiv en us for telling the following anecdote
about him at a public meeting held in St.
Paul.
"Some years since O. Brown was hang
ing around the Legislature, and that very
able gentleman, Mr. Severance of Mankato,
was a member. One evening several mem
bers and outsiders, O Brown, among the lat
ter, had gathered in a roo m, and the con
versation fell upon the question of the in
telligence of the lower animals some con
tending that it was mere instinct, and others
that it was akin to the reas on of man.
Brown advocated the latter view of the case
and in support of bi argument gave the his
tory of a cow which he owned, and which,
from long association with the Brown family,
had acquired almost as much intelligence as
Brown himself. proceeded to state that
on one occasion this cow was about to add
to the bovine census but that, from some
cause, it seemed in trouble and suffering,
whereupon he Brown, acted as the obstetri
ci an and%dforded the poor animal relief.
Here followed the climax of the story:
"Now gentlemen," said Brown, -'that cow
understood perfectly the nature of the ser
vice I had rendered her her eyes were filled
with gratitude, she rolled them up and pro
ceeded to lick my hands and face."
Whereupon Severance replied, "Psha w!
that proves nothing, tihe thoitgJit the Jtad

lied Lake river east of town on Saturday
night last for some unknown cause suddenly,
for the space of fifty feet up and down the
stream ,bursted the solid ice that was eighteen
to twenty inches thick clear across the river
leaving a clean streak of running water from
shore to shore. Huge blocks of solid ice
were lifted bodily and launched out upon the
ice below the opening. I was a clean cut
Above and below the opening, the ice re
mained unshattered and apparently undi s
turbed by the sudden dismemberment of the
loosened portion. The water of the stream
did not rise or even flow the ice on the lower
side, but continued to flow on its usual
course undisturbed as though nothing had
happened. The only cause for th sudden
eruption of solid ice witho ut a rise in the
stre am is the fact that at the point where
he opening occurred a number of loaded
teams were daily crossing with wood, and
the day previous about forty cords of wood
were piled on the ice, which may have been
he cause of the ice belching up in this
strange way

Colonel Ingersoll ia feeding the morbid
appetite of a certain class of people with in
tellectual mud pie has made more dis
coveries about religion than any man living.
With Thomas Paine he has found out that
the bible is not inspired. This result has
been attained by both search and research.
The methods of his research he does not give
us we must therefore give up the bible
simply because the Colon el says so. W
may say with Sojourner Truth, 'Pears like
there must be a mistake somewhere but it
will never do to doubt the heroic thinker
who says he is willing to bet $1,00 0, and in
gold at that, that Paine never recanted.
When a man stakes his bottom dollar he
must be sure of his groun d, so we are reluc
tantly compelled to admitthat the bible is
all nonsense, and that Paine was a saint.
De Kurnel says he knows it, dat de bible isn't
true
An' when he says he knows it dats enuff fortne
an' you
Ef you asks me how he knows it, ef he knows
it for dead shore
De answer is, he knows it. so don't bodder me
