I CRIMINAL CALENDAR. THE CHAMPION 4PE CASE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. I is Decided to be an Assault OnlyA Prisoner Willi an Unknown TongueHis Attorney Can't interview HimMinor Cases. In the district court, Judze Wilkin presiding, the case of John Olson, charged with an assanlt with intent to commit rape on the person of Johanna Nelson, was resumed yesterday at 10 o'clock A. M. OI-SOU'S TESTIMONY. THE ARGUMENT. Mr. Rogers then addressed the jury, holding that the accused should be convicted of an assault upon the person of Johanna Nelson, and that he would not insist upon a conviction on the intent to commit a rape. Nothing was done to the girl, and no great force used, ac cording to her testimony. Mr. Rogers charac terized the assault as outrageous, and that defendant's account of the aff.ur was pre posterous. On the point of the detendant be ing muddled with alcohol, counsel contended that was no excuse. Mr McCarthy followed and claimed an ac quittal tor his client. The prosecution had failed to prove an intent to cornmit rape, and the assault was as wholly groundless. THE VERDICT. The court charged the jury, who retiring, remained absent about fifteen minutes, and re turned a verdict of not guilty oi the charge as laid, but guilty of the assault. The prisoner was remanded for sentence. A SOAIiY CASE. The case of John Abrahamson, charged with an assault upon officer Gibbons, was next called On the announcement of the call, Mr. W. W. Erwin, counsel for defendant, aiose and made a statement, which showed up the case as one both peculiar and decidedly mixed. He said that his client was a Finlander. and that there was not a interpreter in the city Counsel had been unable to interview his client! He had obtained the services of a Swede who could speak the Finnish language, but could not finish his interpretation in English He -would have to talk it off in Swedish, and then another party would have to translate it into the Anglo--axon Lamentably, the tact, before this co veyance of ideas through the middle man could occur, the Swede was called away to the death-bed of a brother, and would be ab sent all the week. The CourtCan't he, your client, speak any English at all. Mr. ErviinNext to nothing. There are set tlements of Fins at Okato and Calumet He can and has said so much: "Calumet, go." Okato, go. But, may it please your honor I can tgo The pioblem was too much foi Mr. Rogers to solve, and he suggested tha, the case bepnt at the bottom of the cal ndar until an inteipret er could be found. Mr. Eiwin asked ior and obtained a process to secure an interpreter from Minneapolis Later Mr. Rogeis piesnmed he could get a talkist wi-h the necessaiy tongue trick* t. accommodate himself the ise and asked that the case should De called again in the afternoon.

Four children survive her. 13 MILLS. That Is the Record Which the Democratic City of St. Paul Presents to the Tax Payers as the Result of Democratic Administra tion. If there is any one thing St. Paul may be justly proud of, it is the low tax levy for the year 1878. The amount to be settled on, and already definitely computed, is 13 mills. This sum includes every tax for county, State, city and school purposes, and revenue. This levy too is made in the face of the various and many improvements in progress and pro jected. The levy is made on a property valua tion of $21,000,000, a decrease as compared with last year of $5,000,000. In thisiespect St. Paul is the banner city of the United States. The only city which approximates anywhere near the fo\id condition of this city, is Detroit, Mich. But in this comparison St. Paul looms ahead, because so many collateral circumstances must be taken into consideration, Detroit in population iB 103,000 the property valuation is set down at the figures, $94 000,- 000. The tax levy is 9 mills. This levy is solely for city purposes, and excludes the revenue collected for the county. State and even city school expenses. St. Paul, 48,000 in population, with a property valuation of *21,0 0.000, makes a levy of 6 90-100 mills for city purposes alone, including schools. And for all other purposes the tax will be 13 mills. This is apportioned as follows: FIR8T, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH WARDS Mills. Interest and sinking fund 2.53 General fund 2.93 Ward fund go Board of education, school purposes 1.24 SIXTH WARD. Interest and sinking fund l.8 3 General fund 2.91 Ward fund go Board of eaucation. school purposes 1.24 Total e. 91 NEW TERRITORY Interest and sinking fund 53 General fund !.2.93 Boaid of education, school purposes 1.24 fund a,j "tal 5. 6 0 The above apportionment has been definitely settled upon, and will ultimately be recom mended to the city council for approval. I differs somewhat, but .t materially, from the former proposed levy published in the GLOBE, anU on the basis of the State levy has been fixed. The State levy has been increased from 2 3-10 mills to 2 5-10 mills, an increase of 2-10 mills over what was expected. To keep the city levy within the allotted amount, 13 mills, the county and city have arranged to absorb in pro rata the State's increase. Refemng again to St. Paul's only nval in this commendable financial field, it were well to state the indebtedness of each city St. Paul $1,300,000 Detroit $2,730,- 900. Figmes, when rightly camputed, don't he. And the above are the sworn official state ments of the fiduciary agent of each city. St Paul is ahead! PERSONA!..

The Democratic primary meetings last night were quite animated and the voting was quite free. As at the Republican pri maries last Week, the great contest was for the sheriffalty, the candidates being James King, the present inoumbent, Martin Delany, Jacob Heck and J. C. McCarthy. Heck and Delany are understood to have pooled their issues. There was a good deal of lively but ton-holing and caucusing, and teams flew hither and thither carrying voters te the re spective precincts: FIRST WARD. There was no particular excitement in this ward, but there was some lively voting, and the King ticket swept the field high and dry, the vote standing 253 for the King ticket, to 49 for the combination ticket of Heck and Delany. The following is the King delegate ticket wh ch was elected: John Dowlan, John X. Davidson, M. Lyons, Chas. Leidman, Wm. McTeague, B. Linstead. The following was the combination ticket which was defeated: David Burke, Geo. Roeller. James Mitchell. Anton Roehl, Michael Roche, E. Johns ,n. SECOND WARD. There was a good deal of excitement about the old court house, the poll of the Second ward. The King men were out in force, and from the start poured a steady stream of bal lots into the candle-box provided for their re ception. There was some loud though good natured bantering among the ticket peddlers, and all passed off pleasantly. There were 666 votes cast, of which the King delegates received 484 and the Delany-Heck tickets 155, the bal ance being scattering, quite a number of First and Third ward tickets being among them. The delegates elected were: John Bell, A. Pietch. Henry Bourchier, John Ahem, James McPartlan, William Byrne, Fred. Guion. The defeattd candidates were: John O'Con nor, John Wagner, Frank LeClair, Wm. De laney, John F. Mcintosh, John Larkin, John Klein. THIRD WARD. At the police station, the center Of interest in the Third ward, there was a close contest. The King and the Heck men stood shoulder to shoulder through the whole evening, and there was a rigid examination of all who offered to vote. There was some anx iety, and considerable chaffing between the workers. Thos. Grace and Edward H. Schliek were on both tickets and were therefore elected. They may therefore be classed as doubtful. Ot the total of 352 votes cast the following re ceived majorities: For KingR. L. Gorman, John Schillo. For HeckDr. G. Stamra, Jo seph Dreis, Paul Fiber. DoubtfulThomas Grace, Edward H. Schliek. The closeness of the contest was a surprise to nearly all, as King had but little hope of carrying the ward. Foi lowing were the defeated delegates: H. H. Miller, Hy. Steffens, Joseph Hardy, Mark Cas tello, B. Dow. FOURTH WARD, A goodly crowd assembled about Ramsey street eagine house yesterday evening, and the primary election almost assumed the dig nity and proportions of a regular affair. The voting commenced early, and was kept np very lively until the hour of closing the poll arrived. There was a cided rivalry between the tbr*e tickets in *he field, and canvassing was more or less the order of the day. The rivalry par took of the genial sort, and throughout good order and a cheerful enthu siasm prevailed. The poll was closed promptly at 7 o'clock, and the count commenced. Be fore 8 o'clock the result was announced, Messrs. A. S. Elfelt and T. D, O'Brien had charge of the ballots, and by their expeditious work and good management won the satisfac of everybody. At the other precincts the vote cast was small, and the work was done speedily and without trouble, First PrecinctThe election was held at the Ramsey street engine house. There were three tickets in the field, for Ki ig, Delaney and Heck respectively. The vote resulted as follows: rrr ~v Votes W. L. Banning.... 155 John Horeish 152 P. Eajjan 153 John O'Uonnel 157 F.

These votes were cast indifferently on the thiee tickets, and in noting up the result made the several majorities riven to the elected del gates over what the straight ticket got, Second PrecinctAt the voting place in this precinct, about forty votes were cast. The foi lowing were elected, both King delegates: E, Holien8hcad, Julius Wil lams. Third PrecinctA small number of votes were polled here. The result was as follows F. W. H.

H. Shelly and Con Tooirey as judges, and Jas. H. O'Farrell, clerk. There was a good deal of good natured rivalry and a total of 259 votes cast. Of these the King ticket leceived 148 the Delany-Heck ticket 101, and the Heck ticket pure and simple 10. Tbe delegates elected were as follows: Dr. Wm. Richeson, P. Eagan, B. Scheffer Ed.

SIXTH WARD. J- There were two tickets at this precinct, but they only differed by the change of one name. The winning ticket bore the legend, "for sher iff, C. McCarthy." This ticket received votes and was: 1{. N. Haie, John Burch, and Alphonso Farrell. The otner and the defeated ticket was, A. Farrell, John Burch and John Nornman. RECAPITULATION. The delegation are reported to stand as fol lows, 54 votes in convention: King. First ward 6 Second ward 7 Tlird ward 2 Fourth ward 4 Fifth ward 6 White Bear 8 Anti-King, Third ward 5 Fourth ward 6 Sixth ward 3 28 14 The twenty-eight voles are a bare majority, but it is probable he will have more when the convention assembles at the old court house at 11 A. M. to-day. AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.. At an early hour last night, qnite a crowd had assembled here to wait for the electoral returns. Friends brought in word as fast as the result was made known at the precincts. Each new arrival brought satis factory news to the assembly. So as he announced his good news, "all for King," he was heartily greeted as "good boy." Then turning about in a body, Sheriff King received the warm congratulation of friends, and the most cordial expressions were made, "You are all right King, I am glad of it. etc. To all of which the sheriff re sponded in good form, and seemed to partake of the general jubilant feeling. I the gathering last night be any indication of what's to happen, Sheriff King has a coterie of friends, who mean to see him elected. The crowd hung about 'intil a late hour, and left in high good humor over the result. 4 ^^^If^ft^'^y^':":'- TBB ST. PAtTt, DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, lgre! U. S. DISTEICT COUBT. TBE OCTOBER TERM HEADWAY. UNDER EULL Judge Nelson's Charge to the Grand Jury An Interesting Log Case or Trustee ship, During Which Gov. Davis Grows PersonalThe Grand Jury Decide to In dict Four Pariies but Change the Pro gramme and Indict hut Two. The United States district court opened yes terday at 10 A. K., Judge B. R. Nelson on the bench. The grand jury was called and eigh teen answered to their names. Subsequently the five absentees came in after the jury was chaiged, and were excused from serving. Their banishment, as it were, from St. Paul being the penalty for their lack of promptness. The court named Mr. Wm. Meighen, Forest ville, as foreman, and waB accordingly sworn in. The grand jury being sworn, the court de livered the following CHARGE TO THE GRAND JUBV: The court stated that the members had been selected from the citi zens of Minnesota to inquire into and investigate all offenses against the United States laws. That the district attorney has but a few cases to bring before them, and on this fact the court congratulated the jury. Your labors will be light, for the arrests made dur ing the last six months have been singularly The court took pleasure in mentioning few. the condition of affairs, and with greater pleas ure said this State has fewer Ian-breakers than any other State in the countrythat is, of the federal laws. The small number of arrests in no way leflected upon tbe officers of the court, or marshal's office. They were energetic and efficient. The only infer ence was that the citizens of Minnesota were a law-abiding people. The court stated that in the cases coming up before the jury the offend ers were under bond or in jail. That the cases were few, and were for counterfeiting the cur rency of the country violation of the internal revenue laws mail robbery violation of the postal laws smuggling, which consists in the illegal and surreptitious introduction of goods into this country upon which duties are charged and a violation of the intercourse laws made and provided to guard the inter course between whites and Indians. The higher grade of these offenses demands your careful investigation, and in all the cases care should be exercised that justice may be done to the government as well as to the citi zen. The court, in alluding to the crime of counterfeiting, said it demanded the careful consideration of the jury. I twas a grave of fense, and one attended with cumulative wrong to the whole community The estab lished currency of the country was a measure ot value, and the person who passed a counter feit was guilty of continuous lobbery. Tbe court then explained that sixteen members ci n stitnted a quorum for business, and that 1 indictment could only be found and returned when twelve had agieed upon it. The ]ur then retired into se ret session. The court then took up the following cases: Horton Barron vs. The Lumberman's Na tional Bank of Stillwater jury trial. Verdict for $81.75 returned for plaintiff. AN INTERESTING CASE. The case of C. D. O'Brien, assignee, etc., vs. A. B. Stickney al, was next called. Ex Govcrnor Davis appeared for the plaintiffs, and Jude Flandrau had charge of the interests of the defendants. The bill of complaint sets up proceedings in bankruptcy against ttenberg, co partnership of defendants that Katenberg, on July 14, 1867, owned a quantity ot pine logs and lum ber the logs were theretofore cut for him bv Gaslm & Carli. July 14, 1869, Gashn, Carh & Kattenberg contracted with defendants, (con tract set out in bill) reciting that the St. Croix boom company were detaining cer tain logs for boomage thereof in con sideration of the agreements, defend ants were authorized to take pos session of and sell and dispose of the logs in the ordinal course of business, and out of the pro ceeds pay 1. Their claim of $3,000 and interest from July 1, 1869, at 10 per cent. 2. All boomage and rafting bills against the same. 3. Balance to Kattenberg after deducting all the necessary expenses attending said sale, and a reasonable compensation for their time and trouble attending to said business. I consideration of all which, defendants agree to accept said trust and faithfully execute the same. The answer admits contract. Di-position of the logs for $11,946.07, Fellows & Co.'s claim, boom and raft bill, necessary expenses of the trust and sum paid Kattenberg, $9,363.13. I addition to the claims scheduled in an ap pendix to answer, detendant claims $1,200 on account of great labor in the execution of the trust legal questions Stickney, a lawyer, gave his professional bill, and there oy saved great expense. Labor and services of the defend ants, worth 41,200. Puts bankruptcy in isme. Admits $1 382.94 ready to be accounted for. The suit has been pending for six or seven years, and several of the principals have died bince its inception, and the merits of the case have partially died out of "the memory of or dinary man." The case was argued at great length, and en gaged the court from 11.30 o'clock until the hour of adjournment at 5 o'clock p. M. Judge Flandra- and ex-Governor Davis made ex haustive and eloquent arguments in behalf ot their clients. WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK. The latter gentleman characterized A. B. Stickney's conduct as trustee as dishonest, and said were it some lesser man than A. B. Stick ney he could be held for and proven guilty of embezzlement. He. the counsel, declared the claim was an extortion, and the very itemized account was filled with petty and despicable evidences of peculation. charged that Stickney's laim for service were outrageously high and fraud ulent. Counsel instanced where certain logs had been sent by Stickney to Fort Madison, and -old to a party there,who afterwards defaulted. A part of these logs were those in trust, amount ing to something over $30J, but the great part were Stickney's own property. Yet this honest trustee had charged all expenses ot the tran saction to the trust. Counsel could not con demn such conduct too severely it was crimi nal and dishonest in the extreme. The above somewhat enlivened the gloom of the court room, and Rhowed up a little interest in the proceedings. The case was submitted and taken und-^r advisement. The court meets to-day at 10 o'clock A. at. THE GRAND JURY. After the charge the grand jury went into secret session. There are eight cases presented to them. Of these several are in jail. But of the jail cases indictments will only be found against two. I was the intention to return four true bills found, yesterday afternoon. But the matter was re considered, and the indictments will be re turned to court this morning. A SON ROBS HIS FATHER. The Grushus Family Disrupted by a Theft of $1,500. "Riches have wings." To the verification of this Martin Grushus mournfully assents. Last night he had his son, William GruBhus, arrest ed for the larceny of $1,000 in greenbacks and $500 in silver. The old man has been deliberating over this step since September 5th. On that date he re ported the loss of the money at police head quarters. Chief Weber put Capt. Clark and Detective Bre-iett to work up the matter. They visited the old man's place on Rosabel street between Fourth and Fifth streets, and after a close survey of the premises gave it as their opinion Klat the money was stolen by some member of the family. All the circumstances pointed to this, and suspicion settled upon the son William as the culprit. The money was concealed in the old man's bed he and the boy alone knew' the hiding place. When the money was taken the father was absent, but left a faithful watch dog at home. When the loss was discovered no traces or evidence of an uncertain search were seen about the room. Neither had the dog been disturbed, he showed no gns of excite ment, as certainly he would have done had a stranger been trespassing during his master's absence. The boy wascation. taxed with the theft. Ho strenuously denied all knowledge of the money or its whereabouts. Subsequently watch was put upon the suppos ed thief, and it was learned that he was as sociating with a clasB of females whose om pany it takes money to keep. Yet none of the stolen money, WM traced directly to him. Tne father despair- f*m&r*% IlQr iiiwifp niftijii :'^!|Wff ing of the return of his wealth, or any portion of it, at first loth to have his son arrested, yesterday concluded to push matters to the ex treme. He swore out a warrant and had his son taken into custody. William Grushes is a rag picker, and has accumulated this money in his business. He is described as miserly, sordid and in constant fear of his money he kept it about him, and dared trut no one with the charge of his earn ings. His son has been in the employ of the Volkszeilung as pressman. The police don't think the old man has a dead case against the boy, no matter how much suspicion may mark him. THE COURTS.

Grace came to the City Hall and got out a wariaut for the arrest of Breen for fast driving. The alder man served it in person. "But" says Breen, "Grace, this is too bad. I didn't think this of anybody. And blank it, I haven't driven very fast. I never have let that pony out at his full speed." "Oh don't bother, don't make a fuss," Baid Alderman Grace "You know Breen, you can get a record for the pony this way." "How?" he eagerly asked. "Why, if you come up before the police court I will speak to the GLOBE man about it, and in dishing up 5 our case he'll put the pony's time in the account. You see." Breen was consoled.
