How Republican Aldermen Propose to Elect Morse Po lice Commissioner. The First Congregational to Be Dedicated To-Day~Matt Gross' Nap. AN ELOPEMENT CASE. A Kailroad Engineer Leaves With Another Man's Wife. Chief Inspector Hankinson yesterday sent out a large number of postal cards bearing the following non-committal words: WANTED— Information of the where- VV abouts of C. Frank Smith, formerly iiassenger engineer on Chicago, St. Paul, linneapolis & Omaha railway, between Ashland and Bayfield. Wis. About forty live years of age, black hair and moustache, very dark, swarthy complexion, aiiout six feet in height, slightly stooping, weight 180 pounds. Lady accompanying about live leet and five inches in height, of fair complex- Jon, auburn hair, blue eyes, twenty-lour years old, well dressed. Early in the day a well-known resi dent of this city put in an appearance at police headquarters and stated that his wife, the woman referred to in the postal sent out by Inspector Hankinson, had left the city in company with Mr. Smith. After talking the case over the postal cards were sent out. Smith is not particu larly well known in Minneapolis, ex cept by a certain few. No particulars of the elopement could be obtained, It is understood that the husband of the woman has announced his intention of shooting Smith on sight, should lie ever return to Minneapolis. GETTING GAY. Eight Married Women Indulge in a Debauch. A well-known physician has a some what startling experience a few even ings ago. lie was suddenly called to attend an urgent case in a busi ness block, and upon arriv ing on the third floor was ad mitted to a large, airy apartment, one of a suite of three rooms. There were present eight ladies, all of whom the physician took to be married wo men. "Two at least he knew to be such. The woman he was called to at tend was on the verge of delirium tremens, and the others were all badly intoxicated. •'! attended to my patient," said the doctor, "and with drew without making any inquiries, or pretending to take any especial notice of my surroundings. 1 don't know whether it was a female club that was having a blow-out or not, but it struck me as a mighty peculiar situation for married ladies to be in." ON AMES' COAT TAILS. So Certain Men Rode in— Police Commission Talk. It is almost generally conceded that a new man will carry off the police com missionership, though many aldermen believe the contrary. Half a dozen more affidavits were Hashed up yester day showing that Ed Burke had worked for Republicans, and it is believed his chances are over. Guile's friends think he will be the benificiary. It is said the Republicans will vote for Frank Morse, and will endeavor to find enough Democrats to go with them to elect him. It is also said Mayor Ames nnd his friends are very indignant that Charlie Hill was dropped over so easily and that a new man will be trotted out at the next caucus. A Hill partisan said yesterday : "I can pick out a half -dozen aldermen who went into office on Ames' coattails in the spring of 1886. lie car ried the whole alderman ie ticket through, and now some of these dubs won't elect a man to help him." It is believed John Landberg, another victim of the police commission, will be entered (Tls a candidate. TO BE DEDICATED. fEJie First Congregational Church **ViII Be Formally Opened To- Z'ay.

Pillsbury, was not completed, the ceremony was postponed until to-day. _ MATT WAS MIXED. He Got Sleepy and the Grand Jury Got Hot. The present grand jury is determined to make itself famous. One of its mem bers has already distinguished himself by telling everything that has occurred as rapidly as it occurred, much to the disgust of other members. Yes terday the jury took to let ter writing and a formidable looking document, after having been submitted to Judge Lochren, was ad dressed tothe city council and delivered to the city clerk. Judge Lochren de clined to say what it contained and Clerk Davenport was mum as a clam. City Clerk Cornman was very important and very silent, after having retired to a corner and read the com munication. However, the matter leaked out and will be well enough known long before the council will have a meeting, lt is in relation to Matt Gross, superintendent of the workhouse, who horrified the grand jury by going to sleep in its majestic presence. Matt was summoned as a witness in tlie liquor cases in which Quinlan and King are interested. He was anticipating some pretty sharp cross examining, and to sharpen up his wits took several light pulls on a private bottle of absinthe. He was not called into the jury room immediately on his arrival, and while waiting he grew sleepy. The oFrench i mixture went to , his head and made him wonderfully sleepy; he struggled, and ...rubbed his eyes, but" in vain and finally he was laid out in an adjoining committee room fast asleep. The jury did not consider itself engaged in the inquest business and therefore did not sit upon him, but Instead wrote a severe letter to the council which will be read at the next meeting. Matt is now wide awake and thinks he mus.t have been drugged. POPULAR BUSINESS MEN. 11. 11. BROWN. This good-natured and rotund gentle man has been in Minneapolis but a few months, but has already established a prosperous business and secured a wide circle of friends, no is the proprietor of the resort known as "The Jumbo," at 208 and 210 Washington avenue south, and his establishment not only com prises the largest music hall in the city, but has in connection an excellent res taurant, as well as a bar stocked with the best of liquors and wines. Helms lately added an orchestrion, imported from Germany at a cost of 95,000, and Prof. Omland, the pianist, gives nightly recitals there. Mr. Brown is a typical Westerner, having been a scout on the plains. He is a great lover of horse flesh, and can be seen almost any day on the avenue behind his pacer "Bessie." Personally he is very popu lar, and his success in the management of so large an establishment stamps him as a man of no ordinary executive ability. Charles L. Jaeoby is one of the veter- ; ans of Company "A," whose military ; presence inspires a feeling of admira tion almost akin to awe in the hearts of the fair sex. He has succeed to the firm of W. 11. Jaeoby & Son. in the bus iness of holding the mirror up to nature and taking countcrfieit presentments.He sometimes allows his warlike disposi tion to be tempered by the softening in fluences of social pastimes, and Friday night officiates as master of ceremonies at the ball to be given by the Flour City Toboggan club at Armory hall. It might be added incidentally that he is one of the most popular young men in Minneapolis, and is the "proper sort." Health Officer Kilvington is a man of regular habits. At each meeting of the council he has himself exonerated upon some charge or other. S. B. Lovejoy, surveyor general of logs and lumber, yesterday returned from a trip through the lumber camps, and says the cut will be unusually large this year, although the depth of the snow in January delayed a good deal of the work, lie tells a pretty good whopper about seeing a log 1,808 feet long. Uncle Selah Mathews and C. M. Foote are not a little elated over the fact that the council ordered twenty live copies of their city directory, thus practically indorsing it as the official directory. * Heartless Davis, the accomplished Journal reporter, is said to be sick abed from nervous prostration superinduced by attendance upon the Hegener trial at St. Paul. "Those great,brown eyes" were too much for his delicate organ ization evidently. A graceful writer in an evening paper speaks of Will E. Steele's Jf probity." Ed Davenport is a distant relative of Ben Harrison, of Indiana, by marriage, and the feverish anxiety with which the esteemed clerk of the district court watches the presidential campaign threatens to break down a once strong and rugged constitution. "Police Commissioner Mike Hoy is said to have a remarkable memory. Aid. L'Herault is quoted as saying: "Reporters are like mothers-in-law, al ways raising disturbances." This would indicate that the alderman is a married man. " G. A. R. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Ege's Orders—Head quarters Fixed at Minneapolis. J. N. Ege, department commander, G. A. R., yesterday appointed George "W. Grant, Minneapolis, adjutant general, and E. M. Leavens, Faribault, quarter •master general. Headquarters have not been officially announced, but it is un derstood Minneapolis has been selected. Mr. Grant, the new adjutant general, entered the service as private, Company G, Seventh Pennsylvania volunteers, April 21, 1861, at the first call, reenlisted Sept. 12, 1861, in Company B, Eighty eighth regiment, P. v., and was pro moted through the successive grades to first lieutenant. He was captured at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, and was a pris oner of war twenty months, in Libby, Danville, Macon, Charleston, Colum bia and Charlotte. He escaped twice and was recaptured, and was mustered out April 26, 1865, having served nearly four years. He is one of the oldest members of the G. A. R., having joined the order over twenty one years ago. He has been com mander of two posts and a resident of Minnesota five years. For the past eighteen months he has been the lec turer for tho panorama Battle of At lanta. Another One Captured. Special to the Globe. l Chicago, March 3.— John Kinney, one of the indicted Minneapolis post office robbers, was locked up at the cen tral station to await the arrival of an officer from Minnesota, who will take him home. Kinney is one of the few who succeeded in escaping and he has been in hiding ever since the crime. Thursday night Officer Plunkett saw him prowling along South Halsted street, near Jack son. Plunkett • asked him what busi ness he had. The answer came without needless delay: "I'll show you." You d— d— S Kinney reached for his hip pocket, but the officer struck him a blow on the head that stretched him on the sidewalk. A brother officer near by recognized the prisoner and helped; to . take him to the ceutral station. THE SAINT PAUL "DAILY- GLOBE: " SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1888.— EIGHTEEN PAGES. CONFIDENCE THE THING. And Real Estate Owners and Dealers Have It. MORE RELATIVE PRICES. Men Who Know by Experience How Land Has Appreciated— Cases in Point. Minneapolis real estate is neither dead nor sleeping, but is moving along steadily, with every tendency to ad vance. The transfers are daily increas ing, and far more cash transactions have been made since Jan. 1 than in any two months since January, 1887. Holders are showing no disposition to push their property at any less price than they have placed on it. There is greater confidence reposed in all classes of Minneapolis realty to-day than ever before. Those who purchased acres and platted them out as far as -Thirty sixth street four years ago at $350 an acre had more confidence a year or two later to pay $1,500 an acre for property a mile further out than they had when they bought their first purchase, and that same confidence is felt now by all holders. IX THE BUSINESS CENTER every available corner is being picked up as far south as Sixth street and Sixth avenue by those who can "read the handwriting on the wall" that within a very few years Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets south will become great business arteries and lined with commodious blocks. The prop erty all around the new court house site has doubled in value within two years, while that adjoining the new postoffice block on Second ave nue has jumped from less than $70 a front foot to $1,500 in the last ten years. Residence property along Hennepin, - Lyndale, Chicago, Nicollet, Park, Port land and other avenues is held at stiff figures. Out by the lakes and boule | yards the choicest lots are worth from 82,500 to $10,000 each. Lots in the vari ous additions south of Lake street and in North Minneapolis are being purchased quite extensively by those of moderate means, while Northeast Min neapolis is coining to the front in great shape. The season of 1888 will be a busy one in all departments. More business blocks and more residences will De erected than in any sea son for years. The comparisons of real estate values in last Sunday's Globe have created an unabated interest among all classes, many of whom look back and see where they "missed it." Said a Chicago gentleman last week: •'1 can't comprehend the rapidity with which the c ties of Minneapolis and St. Paul have grown within the past five years, it is simply marvelous. And speaking about the two cities," con tinued the Garden city man, "if the interests of the twins become identified with each other, and both towns work harmoniously together for self-protec tion, they need fear no competitor." SOME NKW COMPARISONS. The Globe presents to-day a few ad ditional real estate comparisons in vari ous parts of the city, in both business and residence property. The object of these publications is to show what has been done in the past few years, and what the opportunities are for accom- plishing the same object in the future, and, as an old resident says: "All it requires to make a fortune in Minneap olis realty is plenty of faith and a little money." In 1876 Segelbaum Bros, purchased the corner lot at Third street and Nicol let avenue for 8300 a front foot. The same year they erected the building they have occupied continuously, and to-day 82,000 a front foot is a very modest consideration for the lot ex clusive of the buildings. In 1874 W. F. Meader bought the cor ner, 50x150 feet, Fifth avenue and Eighth street south, f0r, 82,250, since which time its value has risen to 8250 a front foot, or $12,500. In 1870 Lou and George Christian gained possession of the two double corners comprising one-quarter of the block between Fourth and Fifth ave nues south for 815,000, and now the valuation is $00,000, making an average of $250 a front foot. In 1872 W. M. Brackett bad an op portunity of buying the corner of First avenue south and Second street for $2,500, but couldn't see the point, while in 1882, ten years later, George Brackett paid $13,500 for it, and in 18S5-86 erected the large brick. block now occupied by Shotwell, Clerihew & Lotham, whole sale dry goods. ACREAGE FIGURES. Jno. S. Warnock furnishes the fol lowing: ln 1883 he bought 80 acres, now known as the Nicollet Park addition, for 8350 an acre, or £28,000, and the former owner paid 810,000 for it less than one year previous. That addition now is easily worth §220,000. At the time Mi. Warnock bought the Nicollet farm he could have bought an adjoining 80 acres tor less than $500 an acre, which is held to-day at 8300,000. I bought in 1883 seven lots, now part of Central park, for §2,500 each, and less than three months after sold them at a good profit, while to-day the same property readily brings 8200 a front foot. Bbwy^BSpP Bought in same year four lots in Place's addition on Vine Place, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, for $5,000. Sixty days subsequently sold them for $(5,000, aud they are now worth 810,000 each. ln 1883 a syndicate, of which Mr. Warnock was a member, puhchased a plat of 80 acres and called it Fairmount addition to North Minneapolis, for 844,000, or $500 per acre. They platted it into 420 lots, which are selling for from $500 to 81,000 each. In the winter of 1886 Warnock & Tur ner bought forty acres of land of the Josiah Jones tract on Nicollet, between Third avenue south and Forty-fourth street, for $40,000, which was consid ered a high price, but they sold it ten months afterwards" for $64,000, and it is worth to-day an even 8100,000. KEMARKAKT.E INSTANCES. Among the most remarkable instances of the rapid rise of residence property is the eighty acres comprising one-half of Oak Park, purchased in 1882 by W. A. Barnes & Co. for $32,000. or $400 an acre, or as now platted, $88 per lot, while the same lots are now bringing from $2,000 to $5,000 each. In October, 1879, twenty acres in the same addition were sold for $2,500, or as now platted, $23 per lot, and Barnes & Co. arc now selling these lots ats2.ooo each. The rapid rise of values in this particular locality is attributed to a certain extent ; to the growth of the city in that direction, but more es pecially to the large number ot hand some improvements that have been made there. In March, ISB6, Barnes & Co., sold seventy feet on Hennepin avenue, where Hennepin Avenue theater now stands, for $500 per front foot. A con servative valuation would be $800 a foot now. QHBBttn&SBBP^j In October, 1885, the. same firm sold 336 feet on Hennepin avenue and Twenty-fourth street for $3,800. -In the summer of 1887 the owner was offered $11,500 for It, but wanted $12,000. In October, 1884, they sold twenty-two feet on Franklin ave nue, near Sixteenth avenue south, for $59 per front foot, and the present value is $200 a foot. Again in May, 1885, they sold twenty-two feet on Central avenue for $5,000, and at present the valuation is $13,200. m_W*amß_p '■.'_. 7 In October, '85, Barnes & Co. sold fifty feet on Ninth street between Nic ollet and Hennepin avenues for $8,700, and have been offered for an adjoining lot of the same size, $18,000. Nelson Williams in. spring of .1871 purchased the front one-third of lots 4 and 5, block 220,8r0wn & Jackin's addi tion, for $2,000, also middle one-third of lots 4 and 5, block 220, same addition, for sl,Boo. This property *is on the corner of Second avenue south and Sev enth street, and is worth to-day $100,000, upon which the residence of Mr. Will iams stands. -"'•'. In the spring of '82 Mr. Williams botight half of lot 6, block 215, and rear half of lot 6, block 215, being the corner of Sixth street and Seventh avenue south, for $4,100, and is worth to-day not less than $25,000, with 06 feet on Sixth street and 166 feet on Seventh avenue south. -':'• 7*"'; In 188*3 J. B. Crooker & Co. sold the 50x100 feet, corner of Franklin avenue and Twenty-second street, for $1,000, and is worth now $200 front foot on Franklin. ■■''■"■-'■ ri-yL In 1874 the one-quarter block, corner of Indiana avenue south and Third street, was sold for $9,000, a few years afterwards W. D. Washburn paid $1,300 a front foe*"; for . it, and recently sold -it to the Guaranty Loan company for a big advance. .is»i In 1887 Crooker & Co. sold twenty-two feet on First avenue north and Third street, opposite Langdon's new block, for $425 a front foot, and now $700 is re- used, while in '84 they sold two lots, corner of Thirty-third street and Third avenue south, for |900, and in the spring of '87 re-sold them for $3,000. And again in '84 sold ten lots In block 10, Baker's second addition, for $6,250 that are now thought cheap at $20,000. j -.• <• • In 1884 sold six rots in block 8, Baker's second, for $3,600. ln 1886 re-sold them for $7,300 and they are 'now worth $12, --000. To show the tendency of holding on to eligible business property one illustration will suffice: Less than thirty days ago a certain piece of prop erty on First avenue south, between Third and Fourth streets, was offered at $50,000 but was withdrawn only a day or two before three purchasers wanted to buy it. The owner now asks $250 a foot. Julius Grosse & Co. have moved their headquarters to Boom 102 on the ground floor of the Boston block, and have ; ar ranged everything in shape, and dec orated the windows in a tasteful and at tractive manner. 7'V" 7 MINNEAPOLIS REAL ESTATE.

Music People Discussed — Random Street Gossip — Slurte vant's Report. The papers have been very full lately of the troubles in connection with the dime museum, aud Verdine Truesdell, the erstwhile coal dealer, and Attorney Long, with his broken nose, and many more outsiders have received a good deal of notoriety through the matter. In the midst of all the excitement from the scrimmage, everybody seems to have forgotten the very existence. of the unfortunate freaks and actors, who were engaged at the house when it was open and whose lot at present is not an unhappy one by any means. These peo ple were brought here on contracts and they naturally feel pretty chilly over the situation. They are losing their time waiting to see what's going to turn up, and of course for them, just at pres ent, there is not the charm of a pay day. A visit yesterday to their quarters re vealed them after all not so unhappy as one might suppose. They were all in a large room where they daily congregate, and from its direction came loud sounds of merriment. A dejected looking monkey made faces, presumably at Howard, iv one corner. In another Bert Ransome was found writing a letter to the Clipper, telling of the smameful way they were being used; and, "by the way," he said, pausing for a moment in his writing: "if you say . anything about me, and they do say the Globe helps everyone in trouble, just put me down as a musi cal comedian. For one thing it will make Dockstader mad, because he is so jealous." * * At the end of the room . there was a curtain drawn partly across as a parti tion. At that moment a figure stepped out into the center of the room, and there he was. His cast iron nerve as cool as-: .ever his blonde locks curling back over his forehead, a whiff of the pipe, aud a how-dc old man, and there he was, Dockstader, one of the original mem bers of the family— celebrated all over the country as eccentric comedians and first-class minstrel men. "No, we ain't working by the day just at present. We are taking a little leisure and so on to please Sackett & Wiggins. That's the ticket at present, but I am getting up a thing or two while I have time, and keeping in practice so as not go get rusty." Loi presto! change! he. was gone. Lo! presto! change ! he was back, and black as the ace of spades. "Now," said Dock (that is what everybody calls him), "thous ands of people have asked me how we make up and how we clean off, and the latter is what always seems to interest them most. Well, I guess 1 will have to tell you, and the people can just cut this out of their Sunday paper, and the next minstrel show that will come along they can refer back to it. and will then know as much about becoming a coon as any end man who has scared crows from falling off their perch. In the first nlace, it's as simple as anything in, the world, but the first thing is preparing the cork. This is, taken and put in a basin saturated with alcohol, which is set fire to and the cork burns to a crisp. Water is then thrown upon this and the whole thing shaken, the sediment drops to the bottom, and the stuff that remains on top is what is used, that is the light por tion of the cork. This is taken, strained and mixed with a little glycer ine, becomes dry like a powder, and is carried in a box. Now as to how it is used : Just watch me." He took a pinch, a big pinch, of it in one hand, and dropped it into the palm of his other, then he saturated it with saliva, made one of his funny motions, gave a swipe here and a swipe there and the deed of darkness was accomplished. The saliva is what makes the velvety appearance minstrels are all crazy to get. By Dock's appearance, when he is on the stage, he must have some pretty rich saliva, for he looks very, very velvety. "A simple .little matter this," were his parting words, "yet how many thousands of people go to a minstrel show and sit and believe us jays take a piece of cork, put it in the gas jet, and then jab it on our jaws, burn our whis kers off, and let out a yell." With that he disappeared behind the mysterious curtaiu mentioned before and nothing would make him appear again. \r'Vy. w * ■--.■*. . Musical circles are extremely quiet at present. About -the most interesting item from the world of song and . lyre being the fact that Herman Zoeh has inaugurated a new feature that will give pleasure to a good many people. He has formed a musical club with eight of his most advanced pupils, the Misses Nellie Bartlett, Ethel Wheeler, May Williams, Jennie Vaughan, Beth Bragg, Emma liobb, Grace Woodard and Blanche Strong. The object is to have musicales held every fortnight, and some member will play from memory. The first con cert will be held to-morrow evening at Zoch's parlors, 322 Nicollet avenue, at 8 p. m. - Herman Zoch's next grand re cital will be held in Ilarmonia hall in stead of at the West hotel, as hitherto, and will be given on the evening of Monday, the 12th of March, at 8 o'clock. The beautiful concerts that have been given of late by the Ladies' Musical Circle, under the direction of Carl Loch mund, are postponed for the present owing to the absence of so many of the musical patronizers from the city. The next one will be held on the Ist of May at the residence of Mrs. B. B. Langdou. I^^^^ m . I There is a levee of dirty looking loaf ers allowed to hang around and inside the entrances of a hotel in this city on Nicollet avenue, which claims to be the second best house in the city, that is an insult to the traveling public, who have several times made complaint of the nuisance. The sooner they are made to quit the better it will be for the appear ance of the house. ;n 7. » * * The minute a warm day comes some of the mysteries of the streets of Min neapolis show up in great shape. Swarms of small boys blockade the sidewalks playing, marbles, and such herds of mongrel canines, are there! No one knows where they come from.and it is a .safe assertion that not another city in the country could produce so many vagrant dogs as mean der singly or travel In shoals through our thoroughfare. Over twenty of these ownerless curs invaded Washington avenue yesterday in a body, and a terrible and bloody battle resulted between them, and the newsboys were only prevented from participating by five stalwart policemen risking their lives in separating the crowd of canines and kids. «* . - # C. C. Sturtevant is out with his annual report and he has done himself honor. The book is embellished with maps of every road that ever run into the city. Now this never happened before, and the truth must not be hid. C. C. Sturte vant went out 7 and hustled, hustled with all his might, worked every railroad In town. He would not be talked down. He j clung and he clung till he got the *.■ order. Result Maps. And then an irreverent morning daily comes out and •• says: "Chestnuts! The same old book it always was." Why, it was the greatest achievement of the old gentleman's life to get those maps (and the money for them, too,) into his annual report. It Was Too, Too Much. Chicago Times. ./ ' V Down in Misissippi they believe in novations are dangerous, and they will not tolerate them. For years and years a citizen of one of the towns in that state, has -been running a gambling room and filling a niche which, withont him, would have been an aching void. So long as he attended to the legitimate and highly reputable business of rak ing off for three of a kind and redeem ing the remaining chips at their estab lished value, he was in the midst of his friends. But there caihe art evil day when he fell a pray to Christian faith, and he closed his gambling place and began holding meetings as an evange list, -.. This was too natch for the sensi tive community, so the ever-dutiful officials pounced down on him and ar rested him for preaching without a license. Mississippi has her laws and her customs, and she does not propose to sit calmly by and see them violated, not even by a man with a good, loyal past. A Little Too High. New York Times. Some time ago a Maine firm decided to buy the best trotting stallion that money could purchase in order to im prove the stock up in the Pine Tree state. So they wrote to the California owner of Guy Wilkes, by George Wilkes, who has a record of 2:15)/, and is the sue of the famous Sable Wilkes, with the three-year-old record of 2:18, asking his price. The reply was not very prompt, but when it did come it read, "Nothing less than *50,000." The Maine syndicate at once telegraphed back, '-Will take him at your figure." This was evidently a surprise to the Californian, who at. once answered by telegraph. "My price now is §00,000." The Maine men couldn't quite stand the raise of 810,000, so that the probabilities are that the great stallion will remain in the West for the present at least. High Prices and Low "Wages. Pittsburgh Post. When the excessive tariff duties invite "combination of the Trust fashion to re strict home production, advance prices and lower wages (foreign competition being shut out) is not the Presbyterian Banner illogical in styling such a purely logical proceeding "the basest of ingrati tude." lt is what the tariff encourages and promotes. It is within the letter and possibilities of the law. Even as great a man as Andrew Carnegie is re ported to have made a million and a half a year by the steel rail Trust. LOCAL mention.
