SHE HAD A LITTLE BILL How a Minneapolis Woman Made it Exceedingly Warm for an Al leged Debtor. Hennepin County's Board of Commission ers Holds an Interesting and Im portant Session. Trouble Expected Over the Matter of .Locating the New County Court House. ■ A;isemlnlsence of the Late Election in a Disputed Count — Phases of City Life. A WOMAN'S NERVE. An Ingenious ITictuod of Collecting a Bill— * i" cculiar Case. Mrs. Jennie Connolly, a neatly dressed woman of 27 years, with an intelligent face, I was in the municipal court yesterday j charged with the larceny of a desk from the | oflice of Josiah Jones, real estate and lum- j ber dealer at 381 Hennepin avenue, and was held to the^rrand jury in §100. The exam ination developed that Mrs. Connolly claims ; Mr. Jones has owed, her for eleven years I the sum of $9.25 for services as a domestic j in his family when he was 10 years old. | Mr. Jones denied any knowledge of the bill j and refused to pay it. Mrs. Connolly told j the court that she had worn out S3 worth of shoes and expended Si in postal cards in endeavoring to bring Jones to time. Finally she made up her mind to eet that money, come what might. She at liist proposed to ; Interview him with a revolver, but wasdls- j susiuVi-froui this course. Next she went to : his oiSi, 1 and ordered §37.50 worth of lum- j ber sent to 720 Seventh avenue south, j where she lives with her sister, Mrs. Pat j Ulaster. Mr. Jones went down, and load ing up his lumber, took it back again. Yesterday Mrs. Connolly resorted to more j successful tactics. When Mr. Jones was j at dinner she went to his oflice and nad his desk loaded upon a dray and carried away. She told several parties in the ofiice why j she was taking the desk, and went to the • lock-up afterwards and offered to give her self up. Mr. Jones was wild when he re turned to the office. The desk contained j his correspondence and papers, valued at i hundreds of dollars. Efforts to induce i Mrs. Connolly to tell where the desk was ! concealed were unavailing, and a warrant i was sworn out. Mrs. Connolly professed j her willingness to go to jail, but puckered ; up her mouth with a determined air when j she informed the distracted man of busi ness that he would pet his desk when she j received the money due her, together with j interest, and what she had expended in try- j ing to collect it. Mr. Jones, although he ! wanted his desk badly, refused to pay, and ! went with the detectives to look for the desk. Mrs. Connolly, in the meantime, was taken to the lock-up, where she has remained since. She is the wife of a rail road man who is in Winnipeg, and has tho | reputation of being an honest woman. Mr. Jones is an old resident of the city, and is supposed to be worth 5200,000. AH IIUI'OSITA.VI > ESS I ON.

Tho overseer of the poor farm | presented his report anil an inventory, j owing the value of buildings, fixtures, I furniture .farming implements and stock on j Jan. 1, 1887, to be 853.155.17. The value j of the condemned articles now at the farm ' is placed at SllO. A communication from the Fire Extinguisher company, of Chicago, | relative to the extinguishers at the poor 'arm, was referred to the committee on ; public erounds and buildings. A. L. Len- i non presented a petition for the allowance; of his expenses in contesting his seat i as county commissioner, amounting to ! $332.35. The matter was referred to the county attorney. A committee from the j Trades and Labor assembly appeared be fore the board during the morning and the chairman, Mr. Lawler, urged that George ! A. Chase be appointed overseer of the poor ! farm, in place ot 11. A. C. Thompson, who : lias held tho office but one year. An in formal vote was taken in relation to the natter, and Mr. Thompson received 3 votes, George A. Chase 1 and It. A Whitman 1. The iormal ballot gave Mr. Thompson 4 and Chase 1, and Mr. Thompson was de clared elected. The board put off electing a county physician until next week. On motion of Commissioner Erickson the j amount of license for selling liquor in Hen- i nepin county for the ensuing year, was ■ fixed at 8100 by a unanimous vote. The j special committee appointed to look into the sanitary condition of the court house ' and jail, reported that the matter had been | fully investigated and that a report would j bo made at the next meeting. The bond of ! Robert Jamison, as assistant county attor- I ney, was presented with P. G. James and j F. B. Snyder as sureties, and approved. i Commiesioners Lennon. Barlow and Swift ! were appointed a special committee to ex- ! amine into the matter of selling liquor without license. The matter of building a new court house came up for discussion, and the pro posed act for its construction was finally submitted to the board and referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds. Commissioner Erickson introduced a reso lution to the effect that the clerk be in structed to communicate with the president of the city council asking him to appoint a committee to confer with the building com mittee of the board relative to the feasibility of building a new court house and city hall together. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The committee on printing and stationery was directed to procure bids for publishing j the proceedings of the board, together with i the financial statement for lSSt> and the de linquent tax list for 1835. Johu S. Pills bury put in a petition to have certain taxes, alleged to have been wrongfully levied, re funded to him, and the matter was referred to the county attorney for his opinion as to whether the board had the power to act in the matter. Fred Webb was granted a li cense to sell liquor in the town of Plymouth. The board adjourned to Jan. 17, at 10 o'clock a. in. FIXING FOB A FIGHT. The I. oration of the New Court House > lire to Brill? a Broil. At the meeting of the county commission ers yesterday morning Commissioner Erick- i son submitted the draft of a bill that will | be introduced into the legislature providing I for the construction of a new court house, i The bill, as it now stands, asks for the ap- ! pointment of George A. Pillsbury, Thomas { Lowry, John Crosby, Eugene Wilson, O. C. Merriinan and others as a committee to ! look after the condemnation, and limits the j cost of the site and building to 5i. 500,000. i The board refused to consider the matter, and referred it as soon as it was presented. Said one of the commissioners, in speaking of tlie matter, later ou: The whole thin? is a scheme on the part of the "big t'U;-s" to take the matter out of the hands of the commissioners entirely, and looks ver* much like an attempt to put money in the pockets of the men who are at the head of the movement. Said another gentleman who is somewhat interested in the matter: lncii.-i this bill passes there will be a fttroutr effort made to get the building located on Hcnnepin avenue. The citizens of South Minneapolis are somewhat indignant over the matter, and declare that they are not being fairly represented in the matter. A meeting of South Minneapolis people was held last evening, when Col. Hicks and Senator Swerison made remarks con cerning the bill. Another meeting will be held in the near future, when more definite action will be taken. If it .s possible to keep the new structure south of Fifth ave nue south, the South Minneapolis people are set to accomplish it. AN IKCOKKECr RE- COUNT Is the Basis of the Gross Claim in the Legislative Contest. The hearing of the Snider-Gross contest case occupied the attention of Justice Grimes all day yesterday, Gross having begun testimony in his interest. Mathias Gross, who no w holds the seat in the legis lature, was the principal witness examined and gave testimony relative to the mariner j and method of the re-count. It was the understanding that this re-count was to bo secret and only for the information of the contestants, the legislature to make its own re-count: with this understanding the count was very hurried and erratic and far from reliable. The packages were torn open and the paper thrown on the floor, carrying with it any pasters that might have come loose. Mr. Gross also testified that the count was not reliable and that lie had called attention during its progress to irregularities. Twenty-hours were employed by election judges to count precincts that were re-counted in forty min utes, and the probabilities were that the original count was the more correct of tho two. Half-a-dozen judges of election testified to the manner of making the original count and to their belief in its correctness. They I said the greatest care had been used, and they believed the returns made by them were probably nearer the correct vote than the re-count. This comprised the testimony taken. Mr. Lawrence expects to finish the case in a day or two, when the side of the defence will be submitted to the legislature. The committee on elections will be an- i nounced by Speaker Merriam to-day. NO MATERIAL. BELL. The Liberal ministers Discuss Lib eriy--Tlie Orthodox factors* Also meet. \ At the meeting of the liberal ministers yesterday morning there was an animated discussion over a paper on "The Problems of Liberty." presented by Rev. S. M. Crothers. The speaker looked upon liberty not as a privilege conferred on a few but as one of the necessities of modern life and thought. Rev. W. S. Vail, of St. Paul, said that in his opinion a man had the moral right to do wrong to himself if lie pleased, but that he believed in lim iting his right to wrong others. lie did not believe in scaring people into being good by holding up before them the honors of hell. Rev. M. I). Shutter was also of the opinion that the hell-lire reign was nearly over. If there was no real hell, he said, he did not consider it right to tell people that there was, in order to make them act in a Christian-like manner. Rev. August Delghren thought that ministers i should use all the things in the Bible that j could be proved, and as much more as was ! necessary. Rev: Mr. Fall thought that the sooner the theology of the past was dropped the better it would be. Ho could not bring j himself to think that the merciful God j would allow any one to remain always in I the power of the devil in an everlasting j hell. Res'. Illowlze said that if every man j was given complete liberty in the matter of ' speech and act.on it would soon be known | just what kind of a man he was. Rev. 11. ! M. Simmons said that in his opinion much i good had been accomplished by liberal ! thoughts, and that many of the evils of the ! old theology in religion had been done j away with. The orthodox ministers devoted much of their session yesterday morning to relating the results of the week of prayer just passed. J. J. Hall piesented a paper on •'A Few Glimpses at the Life and Work of C. U. Spurgeon." The Friendly Inn was visited at the conclusion of the session. PHASES OF i,iFE.'"^. ( While on his way to the insane as-lum. ! Samuel N. Kwing handed Sheriff Swenson the j following self explanatory letter: I went into the Hennepin county jail a non partisan Republican; 1 came out a Democrat. , Please give mo the favor or the extended ■ interview I asked you for March 2, ISS3, i either personally or otherwise. Respectfully, j S JHEL N. EWIKG. To his excelency Grover Cleveland, presi dent United States America. They say Harry Hawley is dying. They j say that in that far-off, flowery land, in which ! he sought rest and relief for a brain worn out j in public service, he is slowly breathing his ' life away. Young, brilliant, ambitious, with j a roseate future before him, an honorable j career already begun, and no lack of warm : friends to cheer him yet suddenly stricken i down aud dying in a distant state. Ho was ! mauagiug editor of the Journal, and, though j young in the business for a position 60 re- ! sponsible, had developed qualities of head that abundantly fitted him for the task, mid j beauties of heart and graces of mind that i made him popular everywhere and with every- ; body. Mind and body he was the mainspring i of an enterprising and progressive paper. ' But. like many combinations of ambition and faithfulness, the spring was tested beyond i its powers. Mental and physical faculties re- ; fused to stand the strain upon them, and to day ho lies dying in Florida. He sacrificed I himself on tho altar of over-conscientiousness ! and ambition, as many another newspaper i man has done. One admires as one mourns. I %* Elder Stewart enjoys good health and has a j prospective long lease of life beforo him — not ' a niuoty-nine-year lease, such as he delights i in for his lan !, b.it a reasonably good lease. j Hist Hennepin avenue property is highly de- i sirable for a court house site, and be is not ! ■willing to sell. ProDOsitlons and overtures to j have him donato the property, for pure love I of doing good, have thus far failed, and while j it is believed he may have a codicil in his will by which the valuable property will event ually be bequeathed to the" city and county j for tho purpose named, the eventually is a | very long time. We can hardly wait, well as j we know the kind intentions of the older. •** C. W. Curtiss, the silver-tongued orator of \ the police force, is a warm admirer of the late i President Lincoln, whom he regards as the ! grandest character in American history. Ho ! met old Abe once under peculiar, but very I pleasant circumstances. Ho was in Wash ington during the war on a brief furlough I with a comrade. Both were fresh from the j front, with faded and dust-stained uniforms. Their appearance contrasted so strongly with the wealth and luxury of their surroundings, j that in a spirit of bravado the comrade pro posed that they should call upon the presi dent. Ho was somewhat staggered when Curtiss took him up, but did not back out. Together they attended the president's levee, wcuriug their old army overcoats. They were somewhat aoashed when ther found ; themselves in a throng of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen. and naturally hung back, not supposing the president wouid care to notice them. They were mis taken, however, as he approached them al most as soon as he saw them and talked for i some time, asking them numerous questions ! about the army. He treated them with ureat j courtesy, and his example led the others to j do the same, so the surprised soldiers found j themselves the center of attraction and al- j ways retained a warm feeling of respect for Lincoln afterwards. CAUGHT IN THE COURTS. Legal Snarl* and Fancies Which Wise men Are Trying to Straight en Out. An order has been issued in the matter of ! the assignment of S. E. Hart & Co., com- I manding the assignee to show cause why he { should not declare a dividend to the creditors i of the company without the creditors filing | releases of their claims. The action is based j on the ground of fraud on the part of the as- I signers. It is alleged that just prior to • the | assignment they sold ■to a man in Duluth about $5,000 worth of cigars and took in pay ment therefor mining shares, for which the \ assignee received $3. The man to whom the I cigars were sold is said to be a brother-in- ! law of Jonas," one of the firm of Harris & Co. J His name is Alexander and he cannot be I found. Lizzie Seymour filed papers yesterday morn ing commencing an action for divorce against j William J. Seymour, to whom she was ; mar ried at Prescott. Wis., May 12, 1873.

Hanlon's fairy pantomime drew out a fair audience at the Grand last night. "Fan tasma" is a charming spectacle, lull of clever specialties, mounted elaborately and abound ii:;, in novel '-tricks 1 ' that are entirely new. There is nothing hackee;. ed in the perform ance. Alex Zanf retta us clown gave a laugh able performance, and the singing of Miss Kate Davis won repeated recalls. "Fan tasma" will be repeated to-night and to-mor row night, with Wednesday matinee. The groat Russian in. &'<, Jo-Jo, the dog laced boy, drew out large crowds to the dime museum yesterday. Jo-Jo is one of the won ders of the day, and is worth a visit to those who love the uncanny. On the lower stage Hunn's minstrels, a competent organization, gave a creditable performance. "Queen's Evidence," at the Pence, opened on Bandar night to an audience that packed the house from stage to entrance. Last night's atleudance was quite large, and tho clever play, which runs to and {Deluding Wednesday night, promises a successful season. At the Comique the Irish Tourist company is playing to good business, with a proposed change of bill after Wednesday. Board of Trade. At tho board of trade meetinjr yesterday C. A. Eovey, L. S.

The treasurer's report showed a rie ficit of $413.97. but the financial arrangements for the future are very eucouraging. TlioViil . sre of Crystal. A week from to-day the people of the southwestern portion of Crystal Lake town ship will hold an election to determine the matter of incorporating under the name of the village of Crystal. The territory proposed to be included in the new village ii that lying adjoining the northwest corner of toe Minne apolis corporation line and to the north of tho new village of Golden Valley.

The voting place will be at tho regular place, near Mr. Still man's house. The motor Sale. The report in relation to the sale of the motor line and the subsequent course of pro cedure, as given in yesterday's Globe, cre ated a broad ripple of interest among the patrons of the line. The pros and cons of a cable line were discussed far and wide, and Eighth warders speculated as to whether benefits or injuries would inure to them in case of a sale. The situation is about as stated yesterday. The plant has not been sold yet, but may be. Negotiations are now In progress which may result in a transfer, but tho details cannot now be made public.

Carl Neumann -writes to say that his name, as a member of the committee appointed at tho Sixth ward meeting, was used without his consent or knowledge. lleiurns from other precincts are hourly expected. In the matter of sheol. there is not a very wide difference between Bob Ingersoll and some of our liberal ministers, except that the latter express themselves somewhat more guardedly. It is rumored that the proposed gilt edge bridge at Sixth avenue is really in the interest of certain railroad companies which desire to do away with the Tenth avenue bridge. Wont some one please explain what that proposed bridge is for. anyhow? The Tribune is real mad atGov. McGill, and the Journal defends him, in the appointment of H. G. Stordoek. Now the interesting ques tion is, which paper does Loren Fletcher Lack. Evert Nymanover says the Sunday election by the socialists means the dissolution of the organization. l>ert will get greater honor as a prep set than as an organizer, but Fritz Gellerup says Evert is only ambitious aud disappointed. ! , Rev. Mr. Fall, at the liberal ministers' meet ing yesterday morning — sooner we drop ail the theology of the past the better. There isn't anything in it that can be proved. If it is true that the devil is doing what the ortho dox ministers say he is by torturing unfor given sinners, as they claim, by eternal hell tire, then there must be something wrong in the actions of God: He must, in my estima tion, be in the same boat with the devil. ni.\.\£4l>O!ilS GLOBULES.

The first sale of land of which we have any record is that mentioned in the 23d chapter of Genesis. It was a very simple transaction. Abraham wanted to buy a burial lot for his family of Ephron, who had a desirable location. Ephron wanted 400 sheckels of silver, about $250 our money, which Abraham agreed to pay. He accordingly went to the gate of the city and weighed out the money and paid it in the presence of all who went in at the gate of the city. Wasn't that bliss? No lawyer, no official, no party of the first part and second part. A cash deal before witnesses. That's the way we sell our ARCTIC OVERCOATS. No middleman in the deal; just you and the U T X, and you will bless the day you bought it, for they are the most comfortable ever made.
