MAJ. DIKE WINS.
Judge Brill, of the District Court.
Decides an Old and Well Known
Case.
In the celebrated case of William H.
Dike, of Faribault, vs. the State of
Minnesota, a decision was filed yester
day by Judge Brill awarding judgment
for appellant of $19,038.15. The suit
was brought on a claim against the
state for materials and supplies fur
nished the Minneapolis & Cedar Valley
railway in 1838. Mr. Dike has always
held that there is no question as to the
justice of the claim, and that he
was only required to furnish
positive proof that the supplies were
actually furnished. Leading officials
all over the state have given evidence
in his behalf, and he would have re
ceived his money long ago but for an
unavoidable delay in submitting the
case to the commission that adjudicates
similar cases.

THE $12,000 DISCOVERED.
Mrs. Warner Gives an Account!
of the Warner & Morgan Ma-
chine Company's Affairs.
On Dec. 18. there was published in
the Sunday Globe an article concern
ing the affairs of the Warner & Morgan
Machine company, taken from an inter
view with 1. 11. Lawrence, the assignee,
which, as seen below, was misleading
and misrepresented the facts.
Mr. S. G. Warner, secretary and
treasurer of the company, who returned
in January last,. has handed the Globe
a letter from Mr. Lawrence as follows:
St. Paul, Minn., March 3, 1888.—
Samuel G. Warner, Esq.— Dear Sir:
Referring to the statement concerning
you, published in the St. Paul Daily
Globe, Dec. 18, 1887, 1 have to say,
that the only portion of that article
authorized by me is that concerning the
assets and liabilities f>f the Warner &
Morgan Machine company, which I had
obtained chiefly from others, and that
without having had time to prepare a
thorough .statement of their condition.
I did not state, nor intimate that your
absence from the city had any connec
tion with the embarrassment of the
company. Yours truly,
1. 11. Lawbence.
Mr. Warner says that on Nov. 1, 1887,
the assets, at cost price to the company,
were as follows:
Smith shop tools $545 05
Foundry tools 1,017 78
Machine shop tools 1-1, 4 si 37
Patterns .- -101 !IS
Bales room fixtures 372 19
Buildings 10,222 79
Accounts received 9,871 51
Land never estimated at less than 5,000 00
"Merchandise at 181 Kast Sixth
street 7,000 00
"Merchandise at shop (estimated). 0,000 00
Total - 555,515 G7
This differs materially from the
figures given in the former article (over
$37,000). Mr. Warren says that the
causes of embarrassment were briefly:
insufficiency of capital, (less than $30,
--000,) the falling due .simultaneously of
payments on new shop and machinery,
costing nearly $10,000, refusal of banks
to renew notes given by Mr. Morgan in
payment of stock in the company and
discounted by their, and failure to col
lect promptly funds on a large account.
lie also says that the business of the
company, in common with that of most
new enterprises in their initial year,
had not been profitable: A statement
taken from the books showing that dur
ing the seven months the shops were in
charge of Mr. Morgan, from Feb. 1 to
Sept. L 1887, there was a loss of over
15,000, counting only the items of ma
*" terial consumed and labor, to which
would have to be added insurance- in
terest, advertising, general expense,
etc., to obtain the full loss. The ab
sence of Mr. W. at the time prevented
the Globe from procuring these facts,
which should be given in justice to
him.

ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA.
Since the issue of the eighth edition
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. many
highly important scientific discoveries
have been made, much historical infor
mation has been brought to light, un
known territory explored, and great
events happened. A remodelling ofthe
encyclopaedia has therefore, been ren
dered necessary, and in the preparation
of the ninth edition, nothing has been
left undone to advance the high charac
ter of the work. There are already
more than 1,000 of the most .dis
tinguished writers of the day.iii science,
art, and literature, from all parts of the
civilized world, engaged as contribut
ors. That this edition will present the
latest discoveries and conclusions of the
greatest living investigators and think
ers, needs no other demonstration than
the names of the following American
contributors:

,The distinctive feature' of. the En
cyclopaedia Britannica is, that all the
different sciences and arts arc digested
into distinct treatises or systems, ex
haustively written by the most dis
tinguished men in their particular
branch of research. Instead of dismem
bering the sciences by attempting to
treat them under a multitude of technical
terms, the principles of every science
have been digested under one generic
head. Minor subjects of importance are
explained in detail as they occur in the
order of the alphabet, with references
to the sciences to which they belong.
The present edition contains a histori
cal outline and review of all the litera
ture of the world, both ancient and
niodern,whichisanew and valuable fea
ture. The Encyclopaedia Britannica
adds to its compilations and treatises
the original features. of a bibliography
on the main subjects treated in its
pages, thus enabling its possessor to
consult the best authorities in a more
extended line of investigation of any
topic.

Camp Poplar River, Mont., to report in
person to Maj. Gen. Scholield for exam

from active service. Capt. Maize en
tered the service as a private soldier in

"gallant and meritorious service in the
battle of Stone river, Tennessee."
The friends of First Lieut. Frederick
D. Sharp, of the Twentieth infantry,
were recently somewhat surprised to
learn that an order had issued from the
war department summarily relieving
that officer from duty at the infantry
and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth,
and directing him to join his company
at Fort Assinaboine, Mont. This sur
prise has been materially increased by
the fact that a formidable court martial
has been ordered for the trial of the
lieutenant upon charges involving his
personal and professional character.
Thirteen officers comprise the detail—

proposed to make a test case of this. He
would ask the courts to determine
whether the city or the Street Railway

A Third Street Firm's Recent Im
. provements—Something About
Hats.
I The more fashionable retailers of
men's hats and furnishings in St. Paul
are remarking the fact that there is a
constantly increasing demand for the
finer class of goods. No city has a class
of trade that demands better goods than
are to be found in the stores of St. Paul.
And this is especially true as regards
the hat trade. 7- '
A reporter dropped inton Ransom &
Horton's the other day to see what was
new in the way of headgear. An array
of fashionable tiles filled the tall glass
cases lining the walls on either side,and
extending half-way down the long
room. These cases are entirely new, as
are all the fixtures • in the
front half of the store. They are built
of mahogany and the finest French
plate glass. The woodwork, is indescri
bably rich in tone and elaborately carved
•in tlie most intricate, exquisite designs.
The counters are of the same costly ma
terial, also handsomely carved. The
fixtures of this establishment are be
yond any doubt the richest, most elab
orate and beautiful of any hat store in
the United States, and every bit of the
work was done in St. Paul by a St. Paul
firm !
But to return to the subject of hats.
"All these," said Mr. Ransom, pointing
to a large case on the left of the en
trance filled with shining silks, "are
'Cliristys.' We are now the sole agents
in St. Paul for the famous house of
Christy & Co., London. Here is their
letter completing the arrangement."
The reporter was handed the letter,
which read as follows:
London, Feb. 8, 1888— Sirs:
We have pleasure in confirming arrange
ment proposed to our representative to
undertake to confine the sale of our
goods in St. Paul to yourselves. You
need have no hesitation in confidently
recommending them to your customers,
and we have no doubt of your being able
to successfully run our manufacture in
your city. Yours faithfully,
Christy & Co., Limited. -
Messrs. Ransom & Hortou, St. Paul,
Minn., U. S. ■ . " ; - : '.
An endless variety of other celebrated
makes were exhibited, including the
"Knox," which has in the last year or
two become immensely popular. Derbys
of the "Christy" make were shown, per
fect in shape and , faultless in finish.
Other manufacturers were represented
by the finest goods they are able to turn
out. Some very neat, stylish • soft hats
for young men, in colors,.: with wide
bands of "lighter shades, were conspicu
ous. - But then ■: this -> article ;-;. might -be
made to fill columns, and then a : large
part of Hansom „&- Horton's stock in ;

and see for himself. ..
ON TASCOTT'S TRAIL.
The Murderer of Amos J. Snell
Made Quite a Stay In
St. Paul.
He Had His Mustache Shaved
Here and Pawned His
Ring".
When He Was Branded as the
Probable Murderer, He
Skipped.
The Man Now Thought To Be
in the Vicinity of
Winnipeg*.
Through the efforts of the St. Paul
police the authorities at Chicago have
at last been put upon the right trail of
Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire
Sueli. It took Detective Ilenshaw and
Inspector Bonfield and Acting Chief of
Police Hubbard a long time to conclude
that Tascott had been' in St. Paul, and
in that . time the trail be
came very cold, but there is still
some 'chance that the fugitive will
be captured. Just two weeks ago to
day.the first hint that Tascott had been
in this city came to Chief Clark and
Chief of Detectives John O'Connor at
police headquarters. It came from
C. E. White, a -newsdealer in the
Portland block, who said that a stranger
answering Tascott's description had
beed in his store 'every evening from
Saturday, Feb. 11, to Friday, Feb. 17,
to purchase Chicago papers. On
Friday. Feb. - 17, the information
that * Tascott . was :\ * the murderer,
and a description of him were made
public in : the newspapers. He had
called regularly every evening for the
Chicago papers, but after that he came
no more. The following Sunday morn
ing it occurred to Mr. White
that his strange customer an
swered Tascott's "description, and
he told the police. Four St. Paul
detectives were detailed at once to look
into the matter. It was learned from
Irving Maurel, superintendent of rail
way news service in this city. The par
ticulars of his visit are familiar to
Globe readers.
The detectives also, learned from C.F.
Jacobs, a St. Paul real estate dealer,
who had been a schoolmate of Tascott's,
that he had seen and recognized Tascott
on Third street oh the afternoon of
Tuesday, Feb. 14. The Chicago police
were fully informed by telegraph of
everything which transpired. For some
reason "'.'.'. - ' ""
TIIEY TOOK NO ACTION
in the matter, but proceeded to inves
tigate rumors *.'" from Leaf Lake,
Lebanon, * Mo.:, Omaha, , Mason City,
Los Angeles and London, Eng., regard
ing the man they wanted. Detective
O'Connor and" his men continued the
search and obtained positive proof that
Tascott had been here. Late in the
afternoon of Friday, Feb. 17, Tascott
had his mustache shaved off in the
Portland block barber' shop, four
doors from where he had been purchas
ing the Chicago papers. The barber
who shaved him remarked that the mus
tache was dyed, and dyed very poorly.
He spoke to Tascott about it. Tas
cott denied that he had used dy
ing. Then it was learned that
Tascott had been taking his meals at
the Portland cafe, and that he had left
his valise, ring and diamond stud in
pawn with the proprietor for 810, That
was the same evening and shortly
before he bad his mustache shaved,
and there is no . . doubt but
that he left the city that night. He
made no new 7 - acquaintances in any of
tbe -.places- mentioned and was always
very • reticent, jHe had asked .the pro
prietor of the cafe several times for a
loan on his ring and stud, and had
been put off. He wanted $40.
Friday evening when he came
.to supper he brought in the russet-col
ored valise, which he carried when he
left Chicago, and an alligator skin valise
of about the same size. He came to the
proprietor of the cafe and his wife, who
were at the cashier's desk, and persisted
in his request foi a loan. He at
first * wanted §30, then came down
to $20, and finally agreed to take $10.
The proprietor gave him a $10 bill, tak
ing the russet-colored valise, the ring
and studs. Then he said he
. -'j-' -.HAD SOME MORK THINGS
in. his loom which.. he was anxious
to I raise money,*-, oh, and " wanted
the proprietor to 7; go to the room,
and look at the stuff. The proprietor
refused to do this ' and requested Tas
cott to go away and not bother him any
more. "Before going, out Tascott re
moved the strap from his russet-colored
valise and attached it to the alligator
skin valisejianging it over his shoulder.
The Chicago police were notified at
once of the [finding of this valuable
clew, and the pawned articles were ex
pressed to Chief of Police Hubbard by
Chief of D<tectiv,e^:'. O'Connor, of this
city. The ring and russet-colored valise
were those mentioned in the. first de
scriptive circulars issued from Chicago.
The ring was a flat band with a square
top piece in which were originally set
three garnets and three pearls, and one
of the jewels was gone. The diamond
in the stud was small, and the stud was
attached to a gold pin, by a fine gold
chain.
The description of the clothing worn
by Tascott on the, last day he was seen,
as obtained by the St. Paul police, was
considerably different from that
contained in the Chicago circular.
On; learning ; that he was dis
covered to be the murderer, he bad evi
dently "rung himself," as the police ex
press it, and had raised what money he
could in anticipation of flight. When
the articles pawned by Tascott
were -received at- : Chicago the
police -of that ,'-•- city awoke to
the fact that they . had exercised very
poor judgment in refusing to recognize
previous reports. The first thing they
did was to issue the" following
t .--... SECRET CIRCULAR,
which ; was sent to police authorities
throughout the Northwest: .
tS*J,OOO KKVVARD.
Department of Police, Chicago, 111.. Febru
ary 29, 71888— "William'- B. Tascott, who is
wanted here for the murder of A. J. Sueli,
was in St. ' Paul. Minn.. Feb. 17, on which
date he left that ' city. Before leav
ing ; St. . Paul * he made a com
plete . change. « of 7- dress,, as follows:
--black diagonal suit, cut-away coat, vest with
binding somewhat worn The whole suit
looks old, brown sack* overcoat, black
slouch hat, mustache shaved off. lie
exchanged the valise 'described in our
former circular for a square alligator one, a'
little darker than russet. He took the strap
from the russet valise and attached it to
the nllieator -one. While in St. Paul he
gave the name of Dixon. No photo
graph has been or can be obtained. The
above reward will be paid for his capture and
detention until an officer with papers can ar
rive ior him. ' Send all information to
,->: ■.'.-■-. - '-.'> . Geohge W. Hubbard, '
Assistant General Superintendent of Police. •
The St. Paul officers are of the opin
ion that Tascott * rented a room some
where " in ..-the vicinity, of the -■ Portland
block, but after diligent : inquiries from
house to house all" through lower town,
they, have so far failed to discover it. ,
Mr. White.: says that Tascott • always
came down on the west side of Broad
way^ from the direction -of Mississippi
street. ;' ..: There 7 is every ; '.- . reason
to:,-- believe/ that Tascott -/left
here ' on : -r that * , Friday ." evening.
Two detectives -from Chicago : arrived
here one day last week, and ;. after : tak
ing notes of everything accomplished
by the St. Paul officers, set out in the
direction jof Winnipeg. * The dispatch
below probably explains why.
CLEWS IN WINNIPEG.
The Mnch-Wanted Man -Thought
to Be in That City.
Special to the G10be. .',.;",., >
:'.; Winnipeg. Man., March 3,— There is
: hardly left a" doubt but that Tascott, the
"alleged murderer : of the ;,' Chicago mill
<ionaire, has been in this city during the
past few days. On the evening of Feb.
.22 a stranger arrived from St. Paul on
the south train and registered from Na
panee, at the Whelan house:- Whelan,
the proprietor of the hotel, origin ally
came from Napanee and struck up a
conversation with the new' arrival. He
was -surprised that the stranger
knew' "nothing about the place
mentioned. Mrs. Whelan saw his
gold j filling in the teeth, and de
scribed him as being about five feet
nine inches tall, with light hair, almost
bald, so thin was it on top of his head.
Tascott told Whelan about his travels,
and sjAoke of , many different places
where he had been. He gave his ad
dress in Chicago, said he was a commer
cial traveler, and afterwards told Car
rie Whelan than he was visiting Mani
toba tosee the country. He had made
!a"~lo£~of money recently, and was
traveling around viewing the country.
He left a St. Paul Globe at the hotel
.•with an account of the Snell murder.
Tascott only remained in the city for
about eight hours and took the train for
Victoria, B. C, about 2 o'clock on the
morning of Feb. 23. The ticket was
sold to him by a German employe of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. The latter
says he would
TAKE HIS OATH
that the same man is wanted by the
Chicago police, so well does he answer
the descriptions published. Detective
McKenzie cut the name out of the hotel
register and sent it to Pinker
ton's detective agency in Chicago.
Tascott wore a heavy cloth blue
suit of clothes, apparently new. A
man named Recas saw Tascott get on
the Victoria train, and is positive he is
none other than Snell's murderer. Chief
of Police Mcßae is not very decided on
the '.question, that Tascott came north,
but --has been in correspondence with
the Chicago authorities. The chief is
very reticent, and not inclined to say
much about the alleged murderer. There
is considerable excitement in Winnipeg
over s the revelations. Your • cor
respondent began a search for
particulars this morning on a
small clue, but gathered strong evidence
together after a few hours' work that
Tascott had most certainly visited Win
nipeg. The Globe correspondent
works in harmony with Detective Mc-
Kenzie's agency, which lias made search
for Tascott since he left Winnipeg, and
at 9 o'clock this evening McKenzie said
that he believed the man would strike
for Alaska or some out-of-the-way place.
Not So Very Hard.
Philadelphia Record.
If we shall consent to let the Cana
dians sell us fish without taxing our
selves for the privilege of buying of
them they will concede to our fisher
men : -v.- '„* ■■-.■■
First— purchase of provisions,
bait, etc., seines, lines, and -.all 'other
supplies and outfits. ; ;
Transshipment of, catch for
transport by any means of conveyance.
Third— Shipping of crews.
Practically we shall be able to avail
ourselves of standing room on Canadian
soil to conveniently carry on business
in adjacent waters— and all for nothing.
The privilege of buying untaxed fish
would be an advantage to ourselves.
The repeal of the tariff on fish would
settle, finally a long-standing contro
versy by cheapening the price of codfish
and mackerel. The terms do not appear
to be 60 very hard. .

' Wheli fish are put on the free list, as

will be no more trouble in our commer

cures every right of the New England

'"Addition to South St. Paul.
This beautiful addition is situated on
the Minnesota & Northwestern Motor
Line and is just two minutes' ride, or
ten minutes' walk, south from the Stock
Exchange at South St. Paul.
The brick depot at Riverside is located
on this property, also the boot and shoe
factory of Tarbox, Schlieck & Co., now
in operation and employing over 100
people, and the number is being in
creased each week.
It is in near proximity to the Stock
Yards, where tbeie have been expended
over £1,250,000 in the erection of Stock
Exchange, packing houses, ice houses,
elevators, feed mills, feeding sheds,
pens, etc., and where 1,500 hogs per day
are now slaughtered. Plans are pre
pared and the construction ordered of
another large packing house to supply
European markets. The ground is be
ing broken for one of the largest dis
tilleries in the country, and a large tan
nery 7 will undoubtedly be built this
year. ; •
- A fine brick school house is within a
few minutes' walk of Tarbox addition.
These improvements assure the popu
larity of the residence lots on the beau
tiful plateau; which commands a view
of the river and surrounding country,
yet is level as a prairie: as well as a de
mand for business locations on the Con
cord street frontage.
• It is only one week since we first of
fered property in this addition for sale,
and we have made a u umber of sales,
principally for improvement.
We shall continue the present low
prices only -a very short time', when for
the benefit of first purchasers a sharp
advance will be made and firmly main
tained, as we are warranted in doing,
for our present prices are much lower
comparatively than any other in the
vicinity. • ■ '-- "■■'- ,

THE GREAT WEST.
Harper's Magazine for March
CONTAINS THE BEGINNING OF
CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER'S
• STUDIES OF
THE GREAT WEST.
WITH MAP.
A more characteristic and amazing
American story was nevermore delight
fully told. As an illustration of the
growth and development which have
made the Northwest a miracle of prog
ress and prosperity it is unparalleled,
and it reminds the reader that the unprec
edentedly rapid advance of this coun
try is not an old story of past achieve
ment, but is more surprising than ever.
Mr. Warner has the happy gift of not
ing the most interesting and significant
facts, and of compelling statistics to
illuminate instead of confusing his nar
rative. An admirable map of the region
treated by him illustrates the article.
The series will be continued through
the spring and summer, and it will evi
dently prove to be one of the most nota
ble and valuable of contributions to
magazine literature and to popular
knowledge of the granary of America
and of the world. The charm of Mr.
Warner as a traveling companion has
been often proved in Harper's Maga
zine and Harper's Weekly, but in
these fresh fields and pastures new it is
as fresh and captivating as the noble re
gion itself.
' Mr. Warner is a traveler who sees and un
derstands, and he adds something beside in a
kind of sixth sense of. divination. . . . The
policy of Harper's Magazine in thus broad
ening" its extent by these valuable observa
tions cannot be too highly commended.—
ton Traveller. . ■
Mr Warner, m these arduous labors, prom
ises to do a great work for the West.— New
