Opening of the Catholic Orphans' Fair --General Gossip—Local Matters. A Seiv Homo. The Sisterhood of Bethany, that philan thropic organization which has performed a noble mission in aiding falling women by giving them a home when in sickness and trouble, and by finding honorable employ ment for them when health lias been re covered, have outgrown their old quarters. The institution has been founded on the bequests of generous citizens and is par tially maintained by the city—one-third of the fines paid into the municipal court by the houses of ill-fame being devoted to the work of the sisterhood. Yesterday Henry F. Brown, as agent for the sisterhood; pro cured from specter Pardee a permit to erect a four-story brick building for a new ; home on South Bryant avenue, between West Thirty-seventh and West Thirty- ] eighth streets, to cost 527.000. Work on I the building will be vigorously pushed and i the corner stone is expected to be laid some time this month. COUNTS AFFAIRS. Fall Term of Couri--Commissioners on the Text !took Question. The fall term of the district court will be gin to-day, and for some time to come the numerous officials whose duty it is to handle the county litigation will find their hands full. Judge Lochren will call the ! general term calendar at 10 o'clock this morning. There are over 1.000 cases on the calendar, including: many very import ant ones, and over 500 tax cases. The grand jury will be called at 10 o'clock, but will scarcely be charged before -2. Judge Lochren will perform that duty, but his charge, owing to a press of business, will be a short one. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to James R. Coyne and Annie M. Hall, John O'Brien and Helah Sullivan, Zenas N. Vaughn and Annie 11. Bonfoy, Andrew G. Anderson and Ellen Sorenson, William Fust and Annie Knnze, Cornelius Rogers find Ellen Riley, Frank A. Calkins and Clara Nelson, John Engelhart and Gusta Aikman. Nil Peterson has been discarded from the prison at Stillwater by order of Gov. Hubbard. Peterson was convicted of for gery March '23, ISS3. in the Uennepin county district court, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. The court, the jury, the parties injured in the forgery and sev eral prominent citizens signed a petition for a commutation, which was granted. Gov. Hubbard commuted the imprisonment to six months, which term having expired, the prisoner was discharged. ■rrn: cocnty commission] is. At the regular monthly meeting of the county commissioners yesterday, postponed until the afternoon, every commissioner ■was in his sent. The following matters ■were referred to appropriate committees: Petition of S. Green and others for a high way in section 1, township 117, range 23; four remonstrances against granting the petition for a highway in the towns of * hamplin and Dayton; a com munication from the supervisors of Champlin, asking an appropriation of Sl4O, half of the cost of building a bridge over Elm creek, afterward allowed. An appropriation of SSO was allowed the Fish lake and Minneapolis road, in Maple Grove, ami one for S-350 for the Crystal Lake road and $100 for the middle road in the town of Crystal Lake. The bills re turned, by the county attorney and the re bates allowed by the committee on taxes were allowed. Samuel Marks and Chester E. Evans were appointed viewers for a ditch to be made in the town of Corcoran. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: Whereas, Mr. D. D. Merrill, state text-book contra su-called, through bis agent in Minneapolis, has scon fit to threaten the county officers of Hennei»in county, asserting he intends to institute legal proceedings against them unless they take measures to in troduce the state text-books in the several districts of Hennepin county: Be it resolved by the board of county com missioners. That the arse o€ the county auditor, treasurer and superintendent of schools of this county, in reference to the ptare test books, be and is hereby approved, and that we will, as a board of county com missioners, support them in the stand they huvrtakon. The action is thus explained: The Merrill system, being unpopular in some instances, the officials have not forced it upon the schools. The board sustains the officials, and it now remains for Mr. Merrill to en force the statute if he can. THE CATHOLIC FAIR. A Success Front the Mart«-Tnc Won ders at the Tables. The Catholic orphans' fair received a tre mendous boom last night for the opening. Ilannonia hall was crowded to almost suf focation, and the attendance was all that could be desired. The evening opened with a dramatic performance, the play be ing "A Limerick Boy," in which Inspector Jim Smith took the leading role of Paddy Miles. When this pleasing introduction ended the fair went smoothly, gaily and nois ily on. The hall was surrounded with booths, bazaars and confectionaries, fishponds, Rebecca's well and grab bags, with all the chances, prizes ami contests incident to such pleasant affairs. Refreshment tables and a large dining hall contributed liberally to the inner man. On the booth tables were all those varieties and truck knacks so dear to the heart of femininity, many of them works of art and of considerable value. The several valuable articles to be contested or were conspicuously displayed and elo quently paraded. The tables were effi ciently handled by the following ladies: Holy ■ y — Mrs. John Burns, Miss Mag pie Kennedy, Miss Mary Failou and Miss Annie Fleming.

Lochmund.Hall and others, and will be well worth hearing* To-night's attend ance promises to be larger than ever. LEWD AND OBSCEXE. That is "What Sir. Brown Sars the minstrel Posters Are.' It was not mony months ago that the curiosity of our people was aroused over a novel suit brought in the municipal court against M. Breslaurer, city bill poster, and \ the manager of the Rente Santley female minstrels. The action, it will be" remem bered, was brought under the new statute forbidding he posting of lewd, las civious and obscene pictures, etc. The case was tried before a jury, and resulted in an acquital. Xow we have a paralel case. Dr. E. J. Brown, in the interest of the Minneapolis society for the suppression of vice, yester day occasioned the arrest of W. J. Potter, agent for the female minstrel show now ex - hibiting in Market hall. Potter was ar THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY MORNEsTG, SEPTEMBER 8, 1885.— TWELVE PAGES. raigned and his case set for trial on the 11th, the defendant filing bonds for his appear ance. The question is whether a lithographic display of shapely femiue anotomy in tights is to be legally considered a vice or lewd, lascivious and obscene. CIRHJIM' COMMENT. A prominent dry goods merchant, and he was a staunch supporter of George A. Pills bury's candidacy in the spring of '84, was met by a Globe emissary in front of his place of business yesterday afternoon, lie was in an apparent genial mood, and chatted freely about the prospects of the fair and other matters, and he finally i touched upon municipal politics. He said with an air that must convince the listener j that he meant every word he said: "1 hope Dill King will accept the Repub lican nomination for mayor in the spring. I ! have almost unbounded confidence in the ' colonel's ability to satisfy the people and to [ conduct a prosperous administration, He : is a broad-guage man, and that is what j Minneapolis wants for mayor. This city cannot afford to be run on narrow prin ciples any longer. I opposed Dr. Ames because I thought a conservative adminis tration would have good results, but, al though too late, I have learned my mistake. While Dr. Ames was mayor the city in creased in population with phenominal rapidity, Minneapolis became famous throughout the land, but it is almost at a standstill, comparatively speaking, now." * * Unlike that of most metropolitan cities the police department still religiously ad- j heres to its narrow policy, conceived during its primitive days when this was only a pro- | vincial town. Strange as it "may seem, it is none the less true that the long exploded theory that as soon as a crime that has been committed finds publication in the papers, the chances of apprehending the criminal become greatly lessened or absolutely lost. Consequently, every possible effort is exercised to keep the reporters from learning anything con cerning a burglary, robbery or anything of that character. In this enlightened age it is pretty generally conceded, especially in Eastern and more advanced cities, that the press is an almost invaluable aid to detec tives in hunting down criminals. It is a perverted idea that because the news papers do not publish the fact that "John Jones was robbed of $500 by a thug," that the thug should believe that the police had not been informed of the robbery, and were searching for him. Every crook in the land knows that the very first thing a victim does is to report at the police head quarters. John Jones knows that he was robbed by a thug, and the thug knows that he was guilty of the act, and he furthermore knows, whether the same be published or not, that John Jones has promptly reported the matter to the chief of police or to the detectives. *** Herman Westphal, the veteran ice dealer, is exercised over the proposed purchase of a site for a city hospital on the banks of Keegan's lake, on the extension of Sixth avenue north. Keegans lake is one of the veriest beautiful suburban spots in the city, and lies just inside the city limits to the west. The tract of ten acres, which the council committee on public grounds and buildings proposes to acquire for quaran tine hospital purposes, is directly to the north of the lake and on the very border of the city. It transpires that Mr. Westphal and another gentleman have purchased the beautiful grove, which borders the lake, with the expectation of converting it into a park to be named Spring park. Should the quarantine hospital be located as the committee on public grounds and buildings contemplate.it must unavoidably destroy Spring park as a desirable summer resort, and consequently work almost irreparable injury to the owners. *** Since the city has perfected a lease for four additional mill powers from the Min neapolis Mill company, the same being the result of a comprehensive and sci entific investigation and measurement of water used by the city water works, con ducted by D. W. Waters,- there is a likeli hood of further measurements to be prose cut-ed in the interests of the manufactures and others leasing water power from the mill company at the platform. The lessees, it is rumored, express unfeigned surprise that the river measurement conducted by Mr. Waters showed such a small actual consumption of water, and basing their cal culations upon the amount of water used by the city they deduce that they are paying for more water than they really use. Whether or not any distinctive action be taken it is certain that considerable dissat isfaction has arisen. *'* The work in fitting up the large four story block recently occupied by the late wholesale dry goods firm of Wyman, Mullen & VanDyke is progressing rapidly. The whole building will open in a short time as a dime museum,under the most experienced management and best auspices. MINNEAPOLIS SPOUTS. '•Tube" Broderick learned last evening that Whistler, the athlete, intends to visit Minneapolis next week. In that event "Tobe v will endeavor to arrange a wrest ling match between Whistler and Mervine Thompson, catch-as-catch-can style. It has been suggested that Patsy Cardiff and Billy Wilson give a sparring exhibition at the same time. * The owners of pacers in this city feel keenly disappointed because the Fair asso ciation did not arrange for a 2:25 class. There are several pacers here in that class, notably J. E. Whitcomb's gray mare Ther esa Scott, and Steve Terhune's black geld ing Black Weazel, but they are not fast enough to pace against the free-far-all start ers. Since Wakes McDermotthas declared his intention to give a pool and billiard tourna ment soon, many of the local players have begun to put themselves in condition for the event. Yesterday's Criminal Grind. When Sergt. Burns called the municipal court to order yesterday morning there was I a motley array of prisoners who had taken seats in the pen. The thirteen first ar raigned were for imbibing- Sunday whisky. Then came Ole DahlandO. Peterson. They were charged with disorderly conduct. They had been on a jamboree which reached its height at midnight Saturday. Officer Col lins attempted to arrest them, and they re sisted so vigorously that the aid of citizens was called, and in the tussle the officer shot Dahl through the right thigh, inflicting an ugly wound. Dahl and Peterson each paid a fine of 517.50, and their associates, John Gilartson and John Peterson paid $7.50 each. Carl Berg was arrested in a house of ill fame by Officer Woolsey, because he kicked up a rumpus over the price of a bottle of j beer. He paid for the beer, however, and went to jail for thirty days besides. John land was charged with stealing a horse and buggy belonging to O. H. Mah ler. His examination was set for Sept. 15. Robert Suiter, a hack driver, was found by Officer Faurskow soliciting business con trary to the ordinance, and he made a de- ! posit of 3100 for his appearance for a trial Sept. 11. W. J. Patten, agent for the Mastodon minstrels, was arraigned for posting "ob scene bills."' Continued for trial until Sept. 11. H. B. Tazer is charged with allowing his cattle at large, and he too will be given trial on the 11th. Trajredy and Melody. Every seat in the Grand was filled last evening, making up an intelligent and fash ionable audience, and giving a warm and ! enthusiastic greeting to Lawrence Barrett. I The bill was "Francesea da Reminyi," in I which Barrett finds a characterLanceotto | —admirably adapted to himself, and of { winch the Globe has already given an ex- ; tensive critique. Breathless interest and rapturous applause succeeded each other throughout the evening, and after every act -and the final Gall of the curtain the trage dian was called out to acknowledge the ovation. To-night the double bill, :>Tor ick's Love and "David Garrick," will be given. The first of the star course of entertain ments under the auspices of the Young Peoples' society, was given at Westminster church, last evening. Madame Camilla Urso, the renowned violinist, gave a recital and Miss Helen Potter, the elocutionist, several recitations. The attendance was good, and the audience was fairly carried away by the srenius of the celebrated lady violinist. The star course promises to be of unusual interest this winter and fall, as es pecial care has been taken in the selection Of material. Ifiethodist Conference. The Minneapolis district conference of the Methodist church began its session last night at the Thirteenth Avenue M. E. church, corner of Tenth street and Thir teenth avenue south, Rev. Dr. Chaffee presiding. About fifty delegates, includ ing clergymen and lay delegates, are ex pected, and the regular work of the session will not begin until to-day. Last night Rev. R. M. Carter of Waseca preached an inter esting sermon. This morning's session will include devotional exercises, general confer ence business, and essays by Rev. M. B. Smith and Rev. James Door. In the after noon Rev. J. L. Pitner will read an essay and the business of the session will be con cluded. A platform meeting will be held at night. The City "Workhouse. The committee on workhouse met at the city hall yesterday and opened bids for put ting in the steam-heating fixtures at the city workhouse. It was an executive ses sion and reporters were barred out, but it was stated last night by the chairman of the committee that the proposals were all highly satisfactory and surprisingly close. Two only varied §:$ in gross amounts. Ow ing to the committee being unfamiliur with steam-heating apparatus, the proposals were referred to Aid. Sly, Aid. Cutler and the city engineer to investigate and determine what system is the most practical and ad vantageous. HI.WEAPOLIS GLOBULES, The proceedings of the board of trade will be found on the ninth page. A little boy named Avery fell from a tree yesterday afternoon, and was quite badly but not dangerously injured. Capt. Chase had a lively tussle with a disorderly fellow in front of the city hall yesterday afternoon, but the arrest was af fected. The female minstrels, headed by Billy Arnold, attracted a deal of attention parad ing the streets yesterday in carriages behind a brass band. Yesterday's building permits show an es timated cost of $40,600, which is considered quite large, considering that the building season is so far advanced. This afternoon will be laid the corner stone of the new home for children and aged women, at the corner of Thirty-second street and Stevens avenue. The new chemical engine Xo. 3 has ar rived and will do duty on the East side, being stationed at Cataract engine house. It has a capacity of eighty gallons. Minneapolitans who visited the fair yes terday express their unqualified pleasure at the arrangements and speak in glorious praise of the exhibits so far as they are in readiness. Mrs. Bertha Pancoast died yesterday morning of typhoid fever. The deceased was aged 29 years, the daughter of Charles A. Ebert. Esq., and leaves a husband and seven children. Y. G. Rumpter was thrown from hi? carriage in a collision with another vehicle yesterday, on the corner of Sixth street and Twenty-first avenue south, and was pain fully cut about the head and face. The city council committee on police met yesterday and opened bids for building a able for the Third precinct station. Cun ningham & Cunningham being the lowest bidders, at S62S, will be awarded the con tract. The streets showed that there were a great many strangers in the city last even ing. It has been charged, but unjustly, however, that the fair would only benefit St. Paul. Minneapolis will certainly get her share. Robert Maxley. the deaf mute who was found two months ago trying to drown himself in Bas.-ett's creek, is now thought to be hopelessly insane, and will probably be sent to St. Peter. He was taken into custody by the police again yesterday. Two new plats were filed yesterday. Richard Crosby, Edwin Blodgett, Robert Harvey and Matilda R. Hall filed Crosby & Harvey's addition. W. S. Washburn, by attorney, P. G. Lamoreaux and Charles Lelaud filed the Washington Avenue ad dition. Openings have been the rase the past week or so, if the expression is applicable. There have been several of them. The most notable were those of Mr. Silverstein on Washington avenue, between Second and Third south, Saturday night, and Al Shaefers Jumbo last night. The spiritualists opened their meetings Sunday, after a two months' vacation, oc cupying the Alcazar theater, corner First avenue south and Sixth. They have en gaged Mrs. Lillie for the month of Septem ber. She is called one of the best of in spirational speakers. She is certainly a very interesting one. Her audience num bered about six hundred persons. Julia McLean, who was arrested on Sat urday night for stealing 810 from Mrs. Alexander Perry, as reported in these col umns, was released yesterday on a nolle prosequi. Mrs. Perry had the money re funded, and she refused to prosecute the defendant. Mrs. McLean will now be fur nished transportation to her home in Chi cago. Carl A. Anderson, proprietor of the hand some, new St. James hotel, at the comer of First Avenue south and Second street, will build a fine, large addition to the hotel, to be finished sometime during the winter. The addition will be four stories. in height and 40x24 feet. The first floor will be occu pied as a store, while the balance will be fitted up for sleeping apartments. The ad dition will cost §9,000 and will be quite or nate. The Columbia, Pillsbury A, Washburn A and C and Phoenix flour mills were run ning again yesterday. Several other millers are anxious to get started and some com plaint is made of the slow movement of the Water Power company. The Market Record says: It is generally thought that very little if anything can be done along the canal this week and some say the water will not be in until next week. Consider able patent flour is offered here at $5.25 de livered in New York and sales have been made all the way from 35.25@5.50 for Jan uary delivery in New York. MINNEAPOLIS PERSONALS. Hon. C. F.

Bismabck, Dak., Sept. 7. — The Magill murder case was resumed to-day, quite a number of ladies being among the listeners. The defense so far has only put two wit nesses upon the stand, but expect to be through by Thursday at the latest. Col. Magill took the stand this afternoon, and in Riving his evidence had occasion to refer to his wife, the defendant's mother, who is I now lying ill at her home from excitement, which brought . the tears to his eyes. The colonel will conclude to-morrow. Tom Magill has many friends, and Attorney Greene of Fargo is laboring hard in his be half. The feeling against him has very ma terially died away. Big Corn Crop. Chicago, Sept. 7. —The Farmers' Re view will pririt the following summary to morrow on the corn crop outlook, based on its latest reports from its correspondents: "The cold, damp weather which has pre vailed during the past week has retarded the maturing of the corn crop, in spite of it, however, some progress has been made. Frosts have been experienced in mang localities, but none of sufficient se verity to do any injury to the corn. At this writing, Sept. 7, we "judge that «hree fourths of the corn of the entire country is past dancer from frost. Of the remain ing fourth fully half is so far advanced that a frost which simply cuts the leaves without freezing the stalk so as to burst it, would do it no injury beyond the injury to the fodder. This leaves but an eighth. of the crop in any real danger, and every day without a freeze lessens the danger. At this writing the danger of a freeze is no greater than it has been at any time in the last ten days, and we have strong confidence of the full maturity of the largest crop of corn ever grown in this country. At the Opening of the "Washington rink to-night a varied program of excellent attractions is announced. See card in amusement column. Will Not Be Represented. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Dak., Sep?^. —The South Dakota counties holding elections for dele gates to the Sioux Falls convention, under the law, were compelled to make their re turns to Secretary Teller here. Fifteen of these counties have failed to show an elec tion, and consequently will not be repre sented at the convention. Secretary Teller left Sunday night, to be at Sioux Falls to morrow morning.
