If he had kept out of the business there would have been no necessity for his getting Kick. ___________ : ~... .:. - A rAHAOKAPii in the railroad column of to-day's Globe, calling attention to the need of street and sanitary improve ments between Jackson street and Broad way, is worthy" of the attention of the council and health-officer. .'.'./ ".:,- •'•"'. It is not at all probable. that the pres ent legislature of New York will be per mitted to elect United States Senators. The sooner it adjourns, therefore, the better it will be for all concerned. The •ountrr needs a rest from political strife. According to custom the British par liament adjourned yesterday to enable the members to be present at the Derby. The American Congress is guilty of may foolish things, but it hardly ever makes itself ridiculous by adjourning for a horse race. Cornell appears in the fight as a competitor of Conkling. The latter might exclaim, "Call you this backing your friends?" All that Cornell is he owes to Conkling, and his desertion of him in this emergency is a piece of base ingratitude. TnE only part of the New York legis lature that appears to be solid just now, is the Democratic wing. They hold the balance of power between the contending Republican factions. It is sincerely to be hoped that they will use it wisely, and at the first opportunity compel an ad journment and an appeal to the people. Since the telephone has become a necessity the people are waking up to the fact that a gigantic monopoly has been fastened upon them. The source of all power seems to he with the Bell Tele phone company, of Boston, the entire country being at the mercy of that organ ization. Philadelphia is the last city which is having a tilt with the Boston organiza tion. The Philadelphians admit that they are in the hands of the Phillistines, but they propose to make the service more efficient by compelling the local telephone company to eschew poles and lay their wires under ground. This is what all cities will ultimately have to do, not only with telephone, but also with telegraph and fire aiarm wires. Though the original expense of the change will be quite large, the companies will find it a matter of economy when the wires are once in position under ground. CONKLISG'B DEFEAT. The result of the voting at Albany yes terday must have been a painful surprise to Conkling and Platt. instead of the prompt and emphatic approval of their course that they expected to receive when they surrendered their seats, they find themselves with a backing of only about a third of the Republican members of the legislature. Mr. Conkling's vote in the Assembly was but twenty-six; in the Sen ate only nine. This is considerably less than his enemies have been willing to concede him, and is far less than his friends have been claiming up to the present time. It is tolerably certain that both Conk ling and Platt will be allowed to remain in private life for the remainder of their earthly existence. They cannot hope to overcome the prejudice that has been aroused against them, or to combat the administration with its great enginery of patronage. It is manifest that this power has been used at Albany with greater or less effect. Politicians are not the unselfish patriots they try to make the public believe they are. They want offices, and offices that pay. They are not worshipers of ideas, or principles, or men, unless they can be made to pay. Conkling without patronage to bestow is not half as great a man as he was when he wielded the power of the administra tion in his own State, and persons who have long been prompt to do him rever ence in the past have now plucked up courage enough to assail him. Though he has appa^ntly fallen in the fray he is not yet completely beaten, and may yet succeed in postponing the elec tion of his successor till a direct appeal can be made to the source of all power, the people. He many fare better there than he has fared at the hands of the legisla ture. At any rate he will make a deter mined fight to regain the ground he has lost, and in his contest will have the sympathy and best wishes of thousands who do not at all times approve his methods or political principles. Double Murder. Chattanooga, May 30.— A special to the Times says there was a double murder a Bridgeport, Ala., yesterday, twenty miles from Chattanooga. A tramp named Mehan, while bathing Sunday morning with some men, became angered because they spattered him with mud. He rushed for his knife and cut Wm. Copeland in the neck, causing in stant death. The tramp was seized and bound. While in prison Sam Reese, a cousin of Cope land, stepped up and shot Mehan dead. Reese escaped. The cousins are connected with the most substantial families in the neighbor hood. 6 Ladies, don't fail to examine our stock of Lace Ties and Fichus. It is simply immense.

The report was accepted. Communications were read from the board of public works and City Trtasurer Renz, con cerning the assessments against the board for a sewer on Ramsey street and grading Lafay ette avenue. The latter assessment was ordered paid. Dr. Abbott, from the committee on property, reported bids from Kenney & Hudner ($637.83) aiTd James C. Johnson ($648) for the plumbing work of the Franklin school. The contract was awarded to Kenney & Hudner. The same committee, reported two bids for the removal of the McLean building to the Plough works, one from Chas. Latham, $650, and the other from Wm. Peglow, $685. Mr. Donnelly was opposed to moving the building; he thought it poor policy. Dr. Murphy'was in favor of laying the mat ter over. Inspector Benz was in favor of binding the contractor to move the building intact and in good shape for use. Inspector Kerr was of the same opinion. On motion the report was laid on the table. Inspector Kerr offered a resolution author izing the committee to negotiate for the re moval of the building, to be placed on the grounds in perfect shape and including the foundation. Adopted. Inspector Richeson, from the committee on finance, reported the following estimates for the fiscal year ending June 1, 1882: Salary fund $a 5.000 Fuel fund 5,000 Interest and sinking fund 15,000 Printing and stationery 1,5' 0 Furniture 3,500 Insurance 2,000 General expenses 5,000 New building, (Sixth ward) 10,000 Old certificates of indebtedness 25,000 $152,500 The report was referred back to the com mittee with power to make such changes as may be deemed necessary. The superintendent was authorized to buy a new map of the city of St. Paul. Inspector Donnelly reported that the Opera house could be had for the High school exer cises. A resolution was adopted authorizing the treasurer to negotiate a loan of $34,350, at the rate of 6 per ceat. interest, payablejsemi-annu :'.lly, for which certificates of indebtedness shall be isnued, for the purpose of purchasing land and erecting additional school buildings. The pay rolls for May were allowed. The committee on claims reported in favor of allowing the usual number of monthly bills. Adjourned sine die. The Slasher in Court. Andrew Orle was arraigned at the police court jesterday charged with an assault on Louis Larson and Ole Rosen with intent to io great bodily harm. The assault took place midnight Monday in front of Brantberg's sa loon on Rosabel street, the material points of the affray having appeared in yesterday's issue of the Globe. In view of the condition of Larson and Ro sen, who were unable to appear, the hearing was continued to the Bth inst., and defendant was committed in default of $1,000 bail. A Globe reporter called on Orle at the jail yes terday andobtnined his version of the cutting, which materially differs from the accounts heretofore published. He stated that he and friend had been out walking Monday night, and returaing they sat down in front of the 6aloon and talked about getting work. While thus engaged they were approached by Larsen and Rosen, who were drunk, and one of whom carried an iron bar under his coat. The fellows were noisy, and the one with the bar nourished it in his (Orle's) face. The latter told him to go away, when the stranger grabbed him by the threat. Orle then attempted to run off, and in so doing he stumbled and fell. The men pitched on to him and he drew his knife and commenced to cut while they were pounding him. Dr. Diedolph stated to a Globe reporter yesterday that neither of the men were danger ously injured. They Married. Though she be obdurate in seeming yet will her temper be as yielding and sweet as April weather. Last week John Johnson, a bright looking Swede youth, was arraigned at the police court upon the soft impeachment of a good-looking and tidy girl named Nellie Nieberg, who charged him with being the author of a pock et edition of humanity born last January. She wanted $500 to square the thing, and, refusing to marry him, the swain was com mitted to jail, not having the sum demanded. Yesterday she repented of her action,and being pained at the plight of her lover, she 6ent word that her heart did long for him, even as the kine longeth for the running water. Her desire to marry him was communicated to Judge Burr, who expressed a willingness to tie the knot. The ceremony was performed at 10 o'clock by hirzoner in the presence of a very small but select audience. Fairchild, the clerk, upon whom devolved the pleasure of giving away the bride, wore a four-dollar smile and looked as serene as a basket of chips. The bride looked sweet enough to kiss, and the young fellow was altogether happy. Judge Bun tied the knot in grand style, and the Globe envoy extraordinary gave the children his blessing.

Detroit, May 31. — Senator Ferry, of this State, reached home at Grand Haven to-day, quite prostratedjfrom the duties of the session, including the importunities of office" seekers. His case was siifßciently serious to compel the attendance of a physician from Fort Wayne to Grand Haven . [Cincinnati Irish Citizen.] Mr. Frank Letcher, No. 423* West Fifth •treet, assures us that for a series of years he was prostrated with rheumatism until life be came emphatically a bnrden. He had exhaust ed the advertised remedies, and had lost all faith in the efficacy of anything to afford re lief, when a friend, who had tested the virtue of the oil, made him a present of a bottle, and, to Frank's wonder and delight the first appli cation afforded sensible relief: before the bot tle was exhausted the pains and aches had dis appeared.

Washington, May 80.— Secretary Blame md Sir Edward Thornton concluded Saturday, the prolonged negotiations in regard to the outrages upon American fisherymen at For tune Bay, January, 1878, and at a later day at Aspee Bay, Cape Breton, the American claims for losses by several fishermen aggregating 1103,000. The agreement between Secretary Biainc and Sir Edwa rd Thornton, is that the British government shall pay -315,000 in gold coin and this government will give a receipt in full. The money will probably be paid some time this week and be promptly distri buted among the rightful owners. Nearly the whole amount goes to Gloucester, Mass. %»iles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh boring organs. At times symptoms of indi gestion are present, as flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi ration, producing a very disagreeable itching, particularly at night after getting warm in bed, is a very common attendant. Internal, external and itching piles yield at once on the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, ab sorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itch ing and effecting a permanent cure where all other remedies have failed. Do not delay until the drain of the system produces permanent disability, but try it and be cured. Price 50 cents. Ask your druggist for it, and if you you cannot obtain it of him, we will send it prepaid, on receipt of price. Address The Bo anko Medicine Co., Piqua, Ohio. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

Officer Reardon in arresting a brute by the name of Prescott Wade, Monday evening, had one of his fingers bitten off by the fiend in hu man flesh. The man was drunk at the time and refused to be taken, and in the squabble he got the officer's finger in his mouth and bit off the end of it. He should have had his inhuman body perforated with lead. Monday night the Jessee family got on one of tfceir periodical uprisings. They and some of their neighbors havo been having trouble for some time. Last spring Mrs. Jessee and oae of the girls were sent to the county jail for thirty days. It seems that Monday night the old woman, two of the girls and one boy armed themselves with a shovel and an axe and other things and made a raid upon one of the neighbors by the name of Mrs Schruel. They hit Mrs. Schruel in the face with the shovel and in the back of the head with the axe, cut ting an ugly gash and one that may prove fatal. The whole party was arrested and bound over to appear before the grand jury, which is in session, and at the present writing are considering their case. They are a very bad family and something should be done to put a stop to their work,as the people living in their neighborhood are not safe. We understand that a small child had its arm broken in the fight. It seems that they went for blood and succeeded in getting it. Yesterday morning at about 3 o'clock a prisoner by the name of A. A. Watson at tempted to commit what might have been a murder and suicide had he not been prevented by a fellow prisoner. Weeton is a life con vict and was sent from Blue Earth county for deliberately shooting his wife. He has been in poor health for some time and at times has not been considered sane, but he has never been violent, but always peaceable and obedi ent. Owing to his poor health he has been allowed to sleep in the hospital nights and during the day he has worked around the cell room. He did not appear any different Mon day from what he always has and has never given any cause for suspicion that would show that he was any way dangerous. On Monday night he retired as usual, as like wise did the rest. At about 3 o'clock a noise was heard by one of the prisoners, who was sleeping near another prisoner by the name of Nims, and he immediately jumped up and took Weston off from Nims. It appears that Wes ton had gone to Nims' bed and had a knife in his hand. At first he attempted to strangle him, but Nims, being a stronger man, had succeeded in getting loose from hishold,wheri Weston struck at him with the knife, inflict iufi a slight scalp wound. By this time the in mates of tne hospital were aroused and came to Nims' relief, when Weston ran back to his own bed and made several thrusts at himself, cutting several def p gashes in his neck, but bow badly h \ is hurt is hard to tell at this time. Weston i 6 a man about 46 years old and has been a prisoner some four years. He has nev er had any trouble with Nims on any occas sion to do as he did even if he was insane. It is very evident that his purpose was to com mit suicide, as he left a note directed to the warden in which he wished the warden to send his body to his brother who lives in Blue Earth county. It was a very close call for Nims, and at the time caused considerable ex citement. NORTHFIELD. North field, May 31. — Wheat is boom ing. Two births and four deaths this month. Mr. C. F.

Sighc exchange on New York $4.85. Produce exports for the week 8,317,000. Governments quiet and generally firm. Railroad bonds fairly active. State securities in light demand. Stocks — The stock market opened weak and in the main lower, and in early dealings prices declined X to 3% per cent. Pacific Mail, Canada Southern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern, Metropolitan Elevated, St. Louis & Iron Mountain and Lake Shore led the downward movement. After first board speculation became firmer, and there was a recovery of % to 2 per cent., but was subsequently lost, and market continued feverish and unsettled during the afternoon. In the final dealings a firmer tone prevailed, and the market closed at a recovery of % to 1 per cent, from the lowest point. The volume of business was less than on any day for weeks past. The Evening Post money article, comment ing on the monetary situation, says the treas ury will to-morrow begin payment of quarterly interest on $250,000,000 of 4* per cent, bonds, the amount being $2,812,500. June 4th the regular quarterly payments of pensions begin. These are about $36,000,000 per year. Of the $'.),()00,000 quarterly payments probably about $4,500,000 will be disbursed at the sub-treasury here. There are, in addition, important pay ments expected on account of arrears of pen sions, but figures cannot be given. The inter est to August 12th on $250,000,000 registered 5 per cents, which have been extended at 33* per cent., and which interest amounts to $35, --000,000, also the interest on whatever of the coupon 5 per cents which have been forwarded for extension, will begin to come out very soon. The major part of these sums should come out of the treasury in the first half of June. The only extraordinary payment to be made to the treasury is $500,000 for principal, and $20,000 for interest on registered bonds of the Nashville & Chattanooga railroad com pany, which, ten j'ears ago, were given to the government in settlement of accounts of the government ivith that company during the late war. This money will to-morrow be paid into the treasury for the Nashville & Chattanooga company by the Louisville & Nashville. From this statement it will be seen that during June the disbursements of the treasury will be important, and in July the ordinary disbursements are large, and those will be supplemented by $16,000,000 to be used in redemption of 6 per cent, not extended at 3* percent. There may be $15,000,000 of coupon os which will not be extended, for which cash will also be paid by the treasury, and in addition to those amounts $65,000,000 to $70,000,000 of cash to be expected from the treasury before Congress meets, on account of registered 5 per «ente which the treasury decided dot to extend at any rate of interest, but to pay outright. It will therefore be seen there are extraordinary reasons in the shape of gold imports early in the year, and the treas ury operations since, the main effect of which latter is yet to be felt, for an easy money mar ket next month, even if the volume of business and speculation should exceed the large total of late years.
