CHARGES OF EMBEZZLEMENT.
A. Prominent Ticket Broker Indicted
District Court ISriofs.
The only arraignment upon Indictments
returned by the grand jury in the district
court yesterday was that of Joseph Char
bonneao, the ticket broker at No. 6 Wash
ington avenue south, who was arrested in
the afternoon upon a bench warrant by
Deputy Egge. The indictment charges him
With embezzling 53,324. 14 from the Chicago,
Minneapolis & Omaha railway company,
Jan. 1, 1884. Mr. Charbonneau plead not
guilty and gave bonds in 000 for his ap
pearance next Tuesday. To a Globe re
porter he said that when he was ticket agent
for the company he let C. 11. Kimball,
the ticket broker, have tickets amounting to
$:;..V;;:.. r)4. There is some dispute
over the matter, and a suit against Kimball
has been commenced by the railroad com
pany, lie appeared very confident that his
situation is not at all serious, and said
"It'll turn out all right, I suppose the audi
tor of the road did this to straighten things
out."
The county attorney and his assistant are
at Alexandria attending court and arragin
ments will not probably be made before
their return.

MINNESOTA JSATTERV.
I'lu' ITSembers Hold a Second Annual
Zieunion.
The Minnesota battery held its first ses
sion July 22 of last year in this city, at
Which time a permanent organization was
perfected. Last night a second reunion was
held. The routine business was transacted
in the office of Dr. W. A. Spaulding. The
following officers were elected:
President —TV. A. Spaulding.
Secretary and Treasurer — C. Gowdy.
At the invitation of J. W. Tidd a ban
quet was participated in by the entire party
at Clayton's. Among the members present
were: Maj. W. Hodgkiss, J. L. Sargeant,
Frank Flint; Martin llarli, Dant Fry, A. C.
Gowdy, M. W. Alley, J. M. Lane, Henry
A. Simons. Fred May, J. 11. Arnell. Philip
llynes. Charles L. Noggle, James Hunter,
Charles L. Morn, Fred Leathers, George S.
Gower, Ezra Sewell, J. W. Tidd. Dr. W.
A. Spaulding, John Craven and George E.
Townsend. Col. Sessions, A. A. Ames,
Mike Hoy, George Leathers and others
were guests. There were thirty in all.
Dr. A. A. Ames was Introduced by Mas
ter of Ceremonies Dr. W. A. Spauldiug.
The doctor began by expressing surprise
that his old comrades had so well preserved
their ages. He spoke of Maj. Hodgkiss,
who started the first newspaper in the city
of. Minneapolis. lie looked around for a
devil and could find no bigger one than the
youthful A. A. Ames. The doctor was
then installed in the office in the capacity
of devil. He was a boy of 12 years and a
veritable boy of the period. When the Re
bellion broke out he enlisted as a private
under his old newspaper employer. His
pun was Issued to him as orderly sergeant
and that gun is now sacredly kept in his
office. He had been called upon to say a
few words to the old army boys. Col. Ses
sions was too modest to touch upon an im
portant point. The speaker is not modest,
lie then referred to;the pension act. Ho
said this is the greatest nation that the
common sun shines on. This nation, with
millions in its treasury, owes a gratitude to
the old soldiers which it can never repay.
Every soldier is deserving the gratitude of
this great nation and he should never be
allowed to go to beggary. He hoped the
congress of toe United States would
amend the pension act so that every
old soldier would be given a competency in
payment for the common debt of gratitude.
It is difficult for a comrade to establish that
he was debilitated in the service. He
phould not be compelled to furnish proofs.
Not a soldier in the army whoso health was
not Impaired in that service. He stood
ready to make a pilgrimage to Washington
in the interests of the measure. Three
cheers and a tiger made the dining-hall
ring.
Maj. Hotchkiss wanted to remark upon
the terms of service of the battery. Nearly
nil had served nearly five years. Not one
Is as good a man physically as though he
had not passed through the ordeals of that
service, and he argued on the universal pen
sion system, whereby every ex-soldier
should reap a slight reward, lie should be
taken care of at the expense of the United
States as well as a congressman or a
president.
Comrade B. F. Cole and others followed
n felicitous addresses and the occasion was
[particularly happy.

Patsy Cardiff Compels Biff Mack to
Quit.
Patsy Cardiff is a prime favorite among
the local sports. The announcement that
he was to have a four-round soft glove con
test with Big Mack, a well-known
young pugilist who lias never been
knocked out of time, was sufficient to pack
the Comiqne from orchestra rail to the
doom and behind the flies. He stands "six
feet in his stockings" and weighs 14S
pounds. He is a veritable giant and has
no lack of sand. Patsy was not in very
good condition. He caught a bad cold and
Iris stomach had been out of order all day.
Shortly after he stepped upon the stage he
had an attack of vomiting, but he had no
misgivings. He knew that Big Mack more
than lacked in fistic skill what he made up
in Herculean strength. Big Mack strikes
terrific blows, but Cardiff was sure that he
could duck them.
Time was called at 1:10 o'clock. James
Wheeler, the stage manager, acted in the
double capacity of referee and timekeeper,
in accordance with the wish of both par
ties. Patsy Cardiff was introduced
lirst with the explanation that
he stands ready to fight any pugilist in*
America for from 53.000 to $5,000 a side,
to the finish with hard gloves. Big Mack
was then introduced. After a few feints
and maneuvers, Cardiff led out with a
THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. SATURDAY MOKN.ENG, KEFXKMBJKK ia, ISBu —SIXTEEN^PAGES^
stunning right-liander alighting squarely in
the pit of the stomach. It was a surprise
to Mack, and no attempt had been made to
avoid it. Mack recovered himself instantly
aud let his left fly, but it was cleverly
dodged. Both thou sparred cautiously,
watching for an opportunity, which they
did not seem to find for a time. Biff Mack
wa9 first to opeu the fi£lit. He struck fu
riously, first with his right and then with
his left, but without effect. Cardiff coun
tered with telliug effect A tremendous
right-hander visited Mack's nose, aud the
claret spinkled the stage. Mack then
fought with desperation. Cardiff contin
ued to duck successfully, avoiding some
terrific sledge-huunuer blows, and,clinching
Mack, attempted to throw him, but Mack
was too heavy. Mack managed to get in a
few bad blows, but it was short arm work.
Breaking away. Cardiff fought with both
hands until time was called. Both
blowed considerably, and Big Mack bled
at the nostrils and his upper lip showed a
slight gash. Cardiff had not received a
scratch.
Manager Brown here instructed Stage
Manager Wheeler to put a stop to all slug
ging. He said he should not allow the con
test to proceed unless it should be a sparring
exhibition. The contestants' acceeded and j
the second round was opened. Each was j
cautious, but Cardiff had everything his j
own way and let out heavy blows, followed
by deft cross" counters, and more blood
stained the stage. When time was called.
Big Mack threw up the sponge. Cardiff
was loudly cheered, and when Big
Mack stepped to the footlights and explained
that ho had trained only two days and that
he was too fat, etc., otherwise he would
have given Cardiff a hard fight, Cardiff
tossed the big soft gloves to the audience
and explained had he used hard gloves
Mack could not stay one round. He offered
him $50 to try it.
THAT PUBLIC MEETING.
Tito Employment of- Convict Labor
to be Denounced.
It has been announced that the com
mittee of the Trades and Labor assembly
would meet last evening to make arrange
ments for a public meeting to be held on
bridge square this evening at which a dis
cussion of the stone-arch bridge question
would take place. The committee did not
materialize last evening. The tearing
down the suspension bridge has created
considerable opposition among the working
men, who from the standpoint of
taxpayers, regard the scheme as amount
ing to a wanton waste of money.
Some are inclined to think that the present
bridge facilities are sufficient; others that
a new bridge should be built at First or Sec
ond avenue south, and the suspen
sion bridge allowed to remain
For the enlightenment on the subject the
Trades and Labor assembly appointed a
committee to arrange for the meeting, and,
in the absence of notice to the contrary, it
can be understood that the meeting will be
held this evening, as announced.
There is another branch of the question
which will be taken up in this connection.
This is that of the employment of convict
labor. There is a determination on the part
of the labor organizations that stone to be
used in public buildings shall be cut within
the city, and not let to contractors who will
have the work done by convicts in the peni
tentiaries. The Stonecutters'union have
already taken steps to enlist the
aid of the Trades and Labor
assembly and the public at large
In an effort to prevent work being taken
from them and given to these contractors,
who will have their stone cut abroad and
brought to the city already dressed. There
is no mistaking the public sentiment in this
matter, and the object of arousing it on
this occasion is because of the near approach
of the time for letting the contract ou the
government building. The feeling is that
the citizens should insist that both the city
and government authorities should be will
ing to set the pattern for "paying a fair
day's pay for a fair day's work." By pre
venting jobbery, and having good work
done, the buildings may stand forever al
most as examples of the way in which
public work may be made to help the work-,
ing classes, and become a source of pros
perity ?o all.
THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
Contests arrow in jj Down—Another
Large Crowd.
It was another big night.
Father O'Neil won the gold-headed
cane by a large majority.
Lots of money will be spent at the fair
to-night, and the crowd will be great.
The good-natured rivalry is great, and,
though the contests are all close, there is
no ill-will.
The lair will net a handsome sum.
and the orphans will t)e greatly benefited
by it.
To-morrow the Orphans' Friend will be
enlarged to a sixteen-page paper.
The contest between the two chiefs will
end at 11 o'clock sharp to-night,
Senator Campbell of Litchneld was pres
ent last night with his brother, A. E.
Campbell and wife, of this city.
The biggest fun last night was the voting
of the cross-eyed doll to the ugliest woman,
each competitor doing hard work for the
other.
The vote for the silver service last night
stood West 227, Stetson 204.
Big placards now are necessary to an
nounce the standing of the contests.
Before the polls close on the contests,
there will be a half of hour of silent voting.
That is to say, money will be received in
sealed packages, and the amount and votes
will not be announced until the polls close.
This is for interest.
The directors decided to announce at 11
o'clock to-night, whether the fair will be
continued.
For the "Picturesque America," Joe
Mannix of the Pioneer, received 70}*f votes,
and was a large victor.
All persons who have sold tickets are re
quested to hand in their books immediately.
This is important and necessary.
The voting for the gold-headed cane re
sulted as follows: Father O'Niel, 1,157;
Father Burner of St. Paul, 214; Father Mc-
Galrick, 188. Father Denehy of St. Paul,
made a very felicitous presentation speech,
to which Father O'Niel responded very
wittily.

CURRENCY OF THE CHUB.
In newspaper circles yesterday there was
no little gossip concerning the changes in
the force of the Journal when the new syn
dicate takes hold. It is reported Mr. Atter
bury, to usa his own expression, will "be
to the Journal what Mr. Blethen is to the
Tribune," whatever that implies. Harry
Hawley is set down as the coming city edi
tor, while "a brilliant paragrapher" is to
be imported from the East to help hold
down the editorial columns. It is said
Van Norman and Davis will be on the city
staff. The managing editor's chair has not
been filled by the gossips, and possibly
Russell or Gelatt may be retained in that
capacity. The price to be paid for the
j plant is set down as between 390,000 and
$05,000.

Secretary Sturtevant of the chamber of
commerce is busily going to the bottom of
the charges of discrimination by the North

that such tickets were furnished them. It

The aquatic sports of this season will
probably terminate with the four-oared race
at Calhoun this afternoon. It has only
been a fair season. The Lurline club has
not done all that it might and must make a
better showing next year. A second boat
club would help things along amazingly.

"What has been a loss to the state fair
has been an important gain for us," re
marked a prominent dry goods jobber last
evening, as he quietly puffed his Havana
while sitting in the Nicollet house ex
change. "We have done an immense busi
ness. Yes, sir; our trade has been more
than twice as large this week as any pre
vious week since we opened our house.
The country merchants came here pre
pared to buy, and they have done it."
***
The hotels have been more than crowded.
Every available cot has been utilized, and
yet the fair visitors have not been accom
modated.
***
Three aldermen, who had visited the state
fair grounds yesterday, found time at the
city hall to discuss the stone arch bridge
question. Said one: "Our people seem to
be laboring under a wrong impression. They
allege that we are going to tear down the
suspension bridge at once and replace it
with a stone arch bridge. That is all wrong.
The suspension bridge will doubtless do
service for five years yet. We propose to
only build half the stone arch superstructure
at first. Again they say that 6235,000 will
be needlessly thrown away. It was prac
tically thrown away when the suspension
bridge was built.
***
A prominent member of the labor organ
izations of this city appreciates the import
ance of constructing the stone arch bridge.
It will give lucrative employment to a largo
crew of laborers. He said: "A movement
should at once be placed on foot to the end
that no convict labor shall be employed.
The stone should all be cut by Minneapolis
men. And in regard to the new govern
ment building, no time should be lost, In
fluence, I think, can be brought to bear
sufficient to secure the labor all to this
city."
W. E. Forrest was asked by a Globe
reporter how he could afford to lay the
cedar-block paving on Nicollet avenue
from Eighth street to Thirteenth street so
much lower than other contractors. lie
said ne had the cedar on hand and wanted
to get rid of it. Therefore he put in a bid
that would paralyze all competitors.

"If the truth is known," remarked a
railroad official recently, "J. J. Hill owns

about remains to be seen.
Iris lt-American ZTSass meeting.
Next Friday evening, the 10th, a mass
meeting of Irish-American citizens will be
held under the auspices of the local land
league, Mayor Pillsbury presiding, the ob
ject being to tender a reception to Michael
J. Ryan of Philadelphia, an orator ap
pointed by the Irish National league Of I
America to boom the cause of Ireland, as '
now advocated by Charles S. ParnclL
Elaborate preparations for the occasion are
•being made, and invitations will be ex
tended to the leading citizens of Minne
apolis, who have manifested sympathy with
Ireland on previous occasions, to be pres
ent at this demonstration. The Irish
Nationalists of the city are determined to
aid and encourage in every practical way
tho Irish parliamentary party in the coin
ing electorial contest in the old country.
They wish to go on a record as willing to
help along peaceful parliamentary work
for their native country, and to inform the
English politicians before hand tha"\ if Ire
land's just demands are stubbornly ignored
through legislative methods, they will
henceforth advocate a policy of lextalionis
until Ireland's rights are conceded.
3Tho Last oS Barrett.
Lawrence Barrett's successful engage
ment is drawing to an end. It has been a
remarkable week and an entirely satisfac
tory one. The bill last night was "Julius
Caesar," the role of Cassius affording Bar
rett full opportunity for the display of his
fiery and vehement oratory, which is his
strong characteristic. The audience was a
large one and thoroughly appreciative—
even critical. The support was happily
given, and the heavy tragedy was an entire
success. This afternoon "Francesca da
Rimini" will be given, and to-night the
double bill, two new comedies, " The
Wonder" and "The King's Pleasure" will
be given. Large houses will certainly be
the portion of the last day of this most
successful engagement.
Struck By Lightning.
During the thunder storm last evening
about 6 o'clock lightning struck a chimney
on the West hotel, directly over the Fifth
street entrance. The only damage done
was to knock off a few bricks, but the ar
rival of the unwelcome guest was accom
panied by a terrific report, which created
considerable alarm for the time being.
Curiously enough the plastering in rooms
situated on the other side of the building
was disloged, while that of the rooms
directly under the chimney was not in
jured.

Origion of the Petticoat.
It is a remarkable fact that the petti
coat was first worn by men, and that even
in this age and generation men are loath to
discard its bowing drapery. "I like to
record this fact." writes a lady. "Nat
urally, women take a sort of savage satis
faction in discussing a weakness in the
other sex, especially in the matter of dress.
Please don't stare me out of contenence at
the supposed presumption of my assertion
that men have, or appaar to have, a sort of
envious feeling toward us for having stolen
from them this prerogative, and that they
clutch at every means in their power to
wrest it from or at least share it with us,
for I'll prove it before I get through. And
we do not wonder this is so. There is
dignity in drapery, as well as grace and
elegance, When Henry VIII. went to
meet Anne of Cleves he was habited, we
read, 'in a coat of velvet somewhat made
like a frocke, embroidered all over with
flatted gold of demaske, with small lace
mixed between, of the same gold, and other
lace of the same goim: traverswise; that the
ground little appeared'; and by a descrip
tion of a similar garment belonging to his
father. Henry VII., we read of its being
decorated with bows of ribbon, quite as
ladies of the present day would adorn a ball
room dress. It is well known that the gar
ment was at first not alone a skirt, but, as
the name denotes, a little coat. How it
j came to lose its upper half or body we do
not know, unless the petticoat was made
with long skirts for the sake of warmth,
and in each case itwas as much petticoat,
as we understand, it as anything else.
"We have only to look at Shaksperean
characters Jet us be thorough and go
back to the time of patriarchs discover
the skirts of men. And easily enough wo |
trace them down through the ages. In the j
inventory of the effects of Henry V. appear s
a 'petticoat on red demask with open !
sleeves,' and. although it was a question
whither this had been fashioned for a man
or woman, it would if a woman's be the
only instance known before Elizabeth's
time of a woman using such a garment.
Thus we hear nothing of women's petticoats
before the Tudor period. 'Good Queen
Bess,' with all her learning, which was
essentially masculine in her age and time,
instinct of womanliness as regards personal
adtornmen, and even though we find her
deficient in taste, and heartily wish she
had not made such a guy of herself in her
old age, yet as a woman we have to thank

The Hollo Girl.
One should be honest enough with him
self, and have sufficient consideration for
the comfort of the public not to knowingly
or intentionally indulge in fool talk. The
public ear is a dumping place for nearly all
kinds of stuff, yet there are many loads too
foul or too foolish to be allowed to mingle
with the conglomerated mass already there.
The talker knows how rotten his stuff is
and ought to be governed accordingly.
; The hello girl in . a telephone exchange
ought to have a pretty good idea of what
the public ear has to endure. Day in and
day out she lias poured into her ear a mass
of talk that is well calculated to set an
ordinary mortal crazy. There is usually a
large percentage of sense in what she hears,
while the reverse is true of the public ear.
Cranks, light-weights, and addled-heads
pour the largest quantities into the public
ear. It is light, cool, and free from any
positive dualities, yet it palls, dulls the
sense, and leads to the conclusion that there
are circumstances under which deafness
may be a blessing.Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE FIRESIDE COMPANION.
An Independent family newspaper, accurate and impartial in the pre
sentation of its news. Devoted to the building up of the Material and
Social Interests of the Great Northwest.
Aiming in all things to be a reflex of the best sentiments of the people
of this grand section. It will be alive to every interest. Vigilant in
collecting all the important news and market and crop reports. It will
stand for honest government, county, state and national, a revised tariff
reducing the burthens of agriculture, opening of American markets to
the world, the improvement of all our natural waterways to the sea, and
the dethronement of monopoly.
Its Society and Household talk will contain matter especially edited to
entertain the family circle.
The Farm Department will not be simply a rehash from foreign agri
cultural papers but will be carefully edited from a practical Northwestern
standpoint. As diversified agriculture produces the best results to the
farmer, whose prosperity is the cornerstone of all material and enlight
ened progress, the GLOBE will continue to advocate its advantages.
