MINNEAPOLIS. DUTY OF DE3IOCRATS. There are some few Democrats who have allied themselves with the move ment t# nominate a citizens' ticket for the city election. They are few in number, but there are some. They are guided by a mistaken sense of duty and right. Those Democrats are most anxious to secure the election of the Democratic state ticket and to carry through the electors for Cleveland and Thurman. They are as ardent to this end as those Democrats who refuse to be hoodwinked by the citizens' ticket, but they forget the bearing this citizens' ticket will have on the general election. The Republicans are sharper and are trying to reap the advantage. The wily schem ers of that party are anxious to elim inate all that is possible of a party con test, because they know their state, congressional and county ticket will have plainer sailing. What are these Democrats thinking of? The mole is less blind than they ! It is their duty to nominate a good, clean and competent man for mayor and make a good, clean and thorough fight for his election, and thereby bring out voters to the support of the state and congressional tickets. The harder the fight is waged, the more Democratic votes will be made. Has this fact ever presented itself to these Democrats who favor a citizens' ticket? If it becomes necessary to go into a citizens' movement to secure good men, it would be different, but such is not the case. As good a Democrat can be nomi nated by Democrats as by a mass con vention. *» A BATCH OP "WEATHER. Another red-hot day, with the custom ary wind storm at evening. And how hot it was. Steam ran three feet from the stacks of the motors before it be came sufficiently condensed to be visi ble. The mercury soared aloft among the unused figures in thermometers until its altitude could scarcely be told. By all means, it was the champion warm day of the year. Every man one met was in a temper — least, he was Hot about something. The one solitary cool spot in the city limits, out of water, was in the center of the pa vilion at Lake Harriet, where the sun never gets and where the lake breeze sings cadenzas through the whis kers ot the foliage. To keep cool was impossible. The fizz of soaa fountains was suggestive, but of steam escaping, while the work necessary to grind out a milk shake laid out drug clerks in every direction. Still there were no sun strokes. The people of this torrid zone .lave become used to temperature rang ing to 105 deg. in the cellar, in summer, Jo minus 50 deg. under the kitchen stove In winter. They live on, just the same, and talk directory war and base ball. Then at night came the storm. This time it came from the south, but Min neapolis people know that electrical storms can come from any direction with equal facility. The sky took on a cyclonic complexion, and for half an hour the wind played hide and seek with chimneys, signs and vagrant trees in approved St. Cloud style. Like a huge .nEolian harp, the breezes played through the iron rafters and open win dows of the post office building, and the sad strains of "Waiting" were dis tinctly audible. Then it "settled down to a gentle rain, a soft, lulling, cooling rain, with an influence that would soothe the angry passions of the Eighth ward contestants. The hot wave was chased oil the field, and the city went ; slumberously to bed. -^_ A HERO NO MORE. The Usual End of Elopements — Beauty Eck in a Bad Light. The "only Eck," the dashing 'cyclist, who pushed his wheel to many a vic tory; the beauty Eck, whose athletic form and silver-grey locks played havoc with so many fluttering hearts; the gay T. W. Eck, now- winning British gold as director of the team of American bicyclists, has been made defendant in an action for divorce. A year ago Eck ■was married at Omaha to Jennie Carlisle-, of Minneapolis, a pretty little brunette, scarcely more than a child. Her brother, , Steve, backed Eck in* several races and the wheelman was intimate at the home of the Carlisles, and there met Jennie, who easily saw a hero in the only Eck. They eloped to Omaha, were married, and in time forgiven and re ceived back at home. A year of mar ried life ended the dream of the little wife. Eck was not all her fancy painted him. She found he was not faithful to her, and to this he added cruelty. Yes terday she filed a complaint, asking for a divorce, and alleging these grounds of action. Amelia Dehning has begun an action against William Dehning for a divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment She states in her. complaint that her age is twenty-live years and the defendant's thirty-one years; tbat they were married at Glencoe, Minn., the 7th of December, 1880, and that the issue of the marriage is two children, aged six and four years, respectively. She also states that Dehning lias prop erty worth £3,000, and asks for an order of the court giving her an absolute divorce, the custody of the children and $1,100 alimony. PAVING AND SEWERS. Some Big Undertakings— Over Eight Miles Next Year. Chairman Stoft, of the committee on streets, grades and additions, is of the opinion there will be over twelve miles street paved with cedar blocks next year. Aid. Morse thought that was a nigh estimate and they got to figuring on it. They made out over eight miles of streets, without counting the alleys. Yesterday the committee decided to pave with cedar blocks all alleys lying be tween the river and Fifth street, and First avenue north and First avenue south. The following streets were also ordered paved: Seventh street, from Seventh avenue to Tenth avenue south; Fifth avenue southeast, from University to Fifth street; Ninth street, from Hennepin to Third avenue south; Eighth street, from Nicollet to Fourth avenue south ; Sixth street, from First avenue north to Sixth avenue south; Fifth street, from First avenue north to Sixth avenue south. Property owners have petitioned to have Lyndale avenue paved from the Henne pin intersection to Thirty-first street, which will be quite a -job, suggestive of the earth. The committee declined to consider it until the sewer is in. The same petition asked for a sewer, which was considered by the sewer committee, in the presence or a lobby. To drain that avenue is considerable of an under taking, especially when the lowering of the 11. &D. tracks is considered. It is believed the new Twenty-seventh street tunnel will take most of it, but the com mittee will look into it further. NOT IX THE DIRECTORIES, But Thy Get there, Just the Same. Benjamin Rohbeck, well known around town, was arrested late yester day afternoon by Patrollman McNulty on a warrant sworn out by Joseph E* Dowe, charging him with committing adultery with Sarah E. Dowe, Dowe's wife. Rohbeck was placed in the First precinct station, where he remained all night, bonds not being forthcoming. It seems that Dowe had for some time suspected that his wife was untrue to him, and yesterday determ ined to find out for once and all. He followed Iter and RohbecK, and in a building on Washington avenue south, had his worst fears realized. He at once went to the municipal court and swore out the warrant. The names "Benjamin Rohbeck" and "Joseph E. Dowe" are not to be found in either of the city directories, by a peculiar coin cidence. A ROUTE_TO^WEALTH. Capitalists Beg-in to Realize the Advantages of the "Soo" Road. It Is the Speediest of All Routes to the Sea board. Eight Miles of Streets to Be Paved Next Year. The Merry War in the Eighth Ward Goes Bravely On. The party that, a few days ago, made a trip to the Sault. upon invitation of Gen. W. D. Washburn, has returned, and the indivilual members are lavish of their praises of the road, its advanta ges, its great ultimate benefit to Minne apolis and St. Paul, and finally the beauty of the country it traverses. Among the party was J. L. Lewis, one of the Eastern owners of the Lehigh Coal and Iron company, now in charge at Minneapolis. He was talking of the road, yesterday, when a Globe reporter asked him: "You seem pleased: what do you think of the 4 Sob' route?" "1 was surprised beyond measure. It would naturally be supposed that all fairly well informed business men would have a* pretty accurate knowl edge of the merits of the road and its connections without having gone over it; but I venture to state that most of the business men of these two cities and of the Eastern cities are absolutely ig norant of the country the road traverses ; of the excellence of the road and equip ment and of the eligibility of the route. "In the first place the road passes through the best country of any new road I ever went over, almost every mile of it has either lands valuable for its timber or for farming purposes. These lands are more attractive to many settlers for farming than prairies. "Second— It seems to me that its con nection at Gladstone with the Lehigh Valley steamers to Buffalo and various rail to New York gives it a speedier route to New York for merchandise and Hour than any all rail route we have; taking twelve. hours from here to Glad stone, forty-eight hours from there to Buffalo, twelve hours each at Gladstone and Buffalo for transhipping, will land freignt from Minneapolis in New York in four days and one-half. My experi ence of freight cars, either east or west bound, is that they are very many days slower than that. I did contemplate be fore going on this excursion that the head of Lake Superior had some odds against the Soo route by a shorter rail haul, but 1 am fully converted to the belief that the Soo line will gain so much in point of speed and saving of water haul that she will reap from the all-rail route and from the Sault Ste. Marie canal traffic a tonnage that, added to its natural rail connections, will give it a marvelous success, a success that has only been comprehended and understood by those .worthy and enterprising citizens of Minneapolis, the promoters and builders of the road." "What condition does the road appear to be worked up to?" "I told you 1 was surprised; well that expresses my answer to your last ques tion. All the way to Gladstone it is first-class, and in its road bed reminds me of the Lake Shore road, between Chicago and Cleveland. It is ballasted with similar material and seems very straight; there are some curves but the engineers have so skillfully .located the lines, and the curves have been so faith fully and mathematically posed that I really thought the road was practically straight. Inequalities are filled with earth, not trestles. The rails are heavy and it seems to me that the road is not only capable of very fast time, but is safe as a railroad can possibly be. The 'All Kail route' to the east in connection with the Canadian Pacific, lam told is nearly 200 miles shorter to Boston than the roads via Chicago. This being so I should think the Soo road would get a good share of through rail passenger travel. "There are many points of much in terest en route; the Sault Ste. Marie canal, locks, rapids and bridges will en tertain one for a day, both with pleasure and profitable information. 1 learned at the Sault yesterday that the tonnage of the Sault Ste. Marie canal in 1881 was about one million and a half: in 1887 it was about five millions. Can any one digest these figures and contemplate the natural advantages the Soo road can honestly claim and not de cide that the road will have all it can do, and more, and before many years require a double track. Much of this great tonnage through the Sault canal is carried to the head of Lake Superior at a cost of at least 83% per cent, more than it can reasonably, be taken to Gladstone for. This saving of lake charges will, upon all tonnage coming to the Soo road by the lakes, justly ac crue to the profit of the Soo railroad; as yet these lesser lake rates have not pre vailed, but as steamers can certainly make three trips to Gladstone from Lake Erie ports quicker than they can make two to Lake Superior ports, it is only a question of being fully ready at Gladstone with down freights to estab lish at least so great a difference of &% per cent in favor of the Soo railroad. Gladstone being so near Escanaba, only seven miles, where large quantities of ore are shipped, down freights can be pretty well assured. On merchandise and express freight the ad vantage in time the Soo road has, must command respect, "It does seem to me such a laudable enterprise, conceived among your Min neapolis people, carried out by them, and now proved to be such a boom to both of these cities as an adjuster of freight rates that the road should be studied, that it should be known famil iarly, and should be patronized with loyalty and pride." TIIE CRUEL AVAR - In the Eighth Is Continued — New Broadsides Preparing*. The Eighth ward situation is quiet, but it is that quiet which sometimes reigns at the top of a volcano while the eruption is preparing beneath. Yester day morning was the time set for the hearing by the council committee, and an interested audience gathered in the council chamber. John T. Blaisdell and J. N. Christopher represented the lynx-eyed vigilance committee of citi zens, while Aids. Cooley and Stoneman personated a somewhat belligerent de fense. Aid. Lawrenc,the third of the trio, was also present, and the astute Albert has figured it out that he is an innocent third party, and in no way accountable if anything wrong is shown. Others have a different idea, but Albert is serene and cheerful. Comptroller Hol brook and Attorney Smith were also present to smooth over the gaps of in formation. Noting was done. Aid. Johnson moved an adjournment until Tuesday, as he and Aid. Stoneman were oh the board of equalization, and this action was taken. Aid. Cooley was opposed to this. He wanted the war to go on now and at once and he was ready to show the whole inward ness. Aid. Stoneman also wanted to go on, but the committee decided other wise. . ■ .- . .„. . :777 70 7.7] ln the meantime the war is progress ing. The committee is at work on an other broadside, part of which will show up the bids, with the allowances for overhauls. Aid. Cooley has also burned the midnight oil preparing a statement in defense of Aid. Stoneman and him self. At the proper time both will probably be given to the press and more ammunition will be furnished either side. - . Ana you out of employment? Advertise in ni c . the Daily and Sunday Globs. ' THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORISTING, AWUST 3, 1888. THE CHICAGO BALL CHIEF. A. G. Spalding in Minneapolis- Interesting Ball Talk. The tall and robust form, of A. . G. Spalding, the Chicago base ball mag nate, loomed up in Nicollet avenue yes terday. Fred Leland had him in tow, showing the sights of the great sporting center. Mr. Spalding is chock full of base ball information and can talk it well, so it was not long before he was led off into a discussion upon the sub ject. "No, I can understand," he said, "why Minneapolis is not as good a ball town as one could want. There are enough people here and they certainly take enough interest in base ball to sup port a good team. One great trouble is the price ball costs. Salary lists are running up out of proportion and there must be a general shaking down before long. Too many cities are struggling along making nothing, simply from car rying too heavy a load of salaries. De troit is the most notable instance of this. It has not made a dollar out of the game and its terrific salaries are responsible. They led off in this and there is no sense in it." "It is certainly much worse in pro portion in the minor leagues then, is it not?;' * ;-.-:-.. --"Yes, it is. I wonder how many of the smaller cities and a good many larger ones can live and pay their men? St. Paul pays altogether too much. A salary of $150 or $175 a month is an abundance for the average player, and if that salary were general, the players would be satisfied. There are excep tional men who might be worth $1,500 a season, but they are few. As good men can be made as now exist, and where a minor league can sell off a good man for $2,500 it should never hesitate. I pre dict there will be a general shaking up on this question before long." "Of course, Chicago will win the league pennant?" "Of course. We have kept the lead long enough, now let some other team carry it for a month or so and we will come in on the stretch. Our people ex pect that, and we don't have to win all the time to get a crowd out. A Chicago audience simply wants good ball and they'll cheer the victors whoever they may be. Detroit is different. Now there is a great ball team, but because they won last year, their people want the earth, and if the team loses a game they say they're no good and don't turn out. As I Bay, Detroit is not making a dollar, and some others are in the same boat. Indianapolis is doing well, 1 be lieve, but Washington is not." "What do you" think of a national league team here to represent the Twin cities, with a park half way between the cities?" "Well, would it be supported? A league team is an awful** load to carry, but if these cities would join in such a scheme I don't see but that it might be made a great go. It would only be ten minutes from either city to the ground. Do you know, I thought of that years ago, when we had the trouble with St. Louis. I don't know but it's a scheme that one day may blossom into a beautiful reality." COURT BRIEFS. Henry P. Lowe sues Willis Baker for $501.54 on a promissory note. Mary C. S. Drummond sues Clarissa H. Swan for $500 on a promissory note. Joseph A. Sansome and Anna L. Brereton were married yesterday aft ernoon by Judge Yon Sclilegell. Arthur 11.

The ltiver-ide mission picnicked at Waco nla yesterday. The Central W. C. T. U. meets at the Coffee Ilousa this afternoon. James Born will be tried to-day on a charge of using abusive language to James Lund. Two hundred liquor licenses have been issued. At the same time last year, 210 had been issued. The Ladies' Missionary Society of the Church of Christ meets tins evening at 375 Grant Street. Thomas Lucas, the well-known labor agita tor, cut his right foot badly while at work on the K. of L. building yesterday. Mollie Sheridan, a well known character set her house on fire while drunk, and had a narrow escape from being cremated. This evening the Eleventh Ward Demo cratic Club meets at Tollefson'a Hall Fif teenth Avenue South and Franklin Street. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to Henry Whittaker and Maud A.Wilbur, Wil liam Coffee and Ellen Kennedy, Joseph A. Sansonic and Anna L. Brereton." A water cart driven by Thomas Curran broke down at Eighth Avenue South and Fifth Street yesterday afternoon. Curran was thrown against the curbing and had his head badly cut. Julius Jorgsen, eharired with allowing his team to run loose in Prospect park, pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed, there being no evidence to show that any damage was done. John Koran was arraigned on a charge of threatening to break the peace, preferred by Lizzie Kelleher, his sister. He was found guilty and put under bonds of §200 to keep the peace. W. L. Towns, of 1424 Fifth street south, was thrown from his buggy on the corner of Nicollet avenue and Thirteenth street yes terday morning. He was badly injured about the head and was carried home in the patrol wagon. There was a large attendance at the Scan dinavian festival at the Lake Harriet pavilion last evening. The building was as cool and pleasant as could be desired. The singing of Miss Anna l'feil, and the playing of "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh," were the features of the evening. "Waiting for the Verdict*' was produced to a fair house at the Pence opera house last night. The entire strength of the stock was cast in the play, and, notwithstanding the sultry night, gave a very spirited perform ance of the popular play. Aid. Tom Downs is very much disgusted with the city attorney for losing those suits brought against the city by the property owners who objected to the firm of Downs <fc Co. quarrying all the rock out of the street in front of their premises. A number of Eighth ward Republicans are talking of running George W. Coolev for the legislature so as to get him out of "the coun cil, but they will probably find him a little too sly to be caught with such chaff, for George generally knows enough when he has got a good thing to keep it. Emil Kressmer was arrested by Detective Hoy yesterday, and taken to St.* Paul. He had hired a horse and buggy from a St. An thony hill stable and sold" them to Farring ton, of North Minneapolis, for $105, repre senting he had brought them from Shakopee. There will be an inquest over the body of the unknown man killed near the University switch, on the Manitoba road, Wednesday morning, at Gleason & Bvorum's morgue this morning: Nothing has been found which gives a clue as to the identity of the dead man. The examination of Frank Burnham. E. W. Aldrich's hired man, charged with re ceiving stolen property, was to to have been held in the municipal court yesterday after noon, but was postponed until to-dnv on ac count of the Shotwell-Clerihew arguments taking up so much time. Col. Ed Davenport is at present actively engaged in making up the Republican legis lative ticket for the Thirtieth district. There are four representatives to be elected from this district, and the names which appear on the ticket as made up at the present time, are Col. Edward J. Davenport, Albert J. Board man, Freeman P. Lane aud Capt. Edward U. Geesman. A number of Republicans who were asked what they thought of this ticket, said they considered it a very excel lent one, and one which would be" elected without much work, but a few of them thought that the old soldiers should have an other representative on the ticket, and sug gested that the name of Col. Fred Hooker be t substituted tor that of Freeman P. Lave. MED FOREANB AFT. The Shotwell-Clerihew Case Has an Airing Before Judge Mahoney. E. M. Wilson Argues Strongly for the Release of the ; j Accused, * l * rs : While Judge Shaw Rakes Them With Double Grape j < and Canister. •: The Poor Devil and Rich Mer chant Are One to JJ3 j the Law. W j The arguments in the famous Shot well-Clerihew case were begun* in the municipal court yesterday morning, in the presence of a large number of spec tators, nearly all more or less directly interested in the case. Eugene Wilson, for the defense, opened the argument. He first took up the testimony of Mr. Shotwell in regard to going east to raise money.** Everything was perfectly regu lar, as Mr. Shotwell had the promise of plenty of money, and fully expected to get it and have money enough to meet the drafts when, they came on. Mr. Shotwell and Mr. Clerihew could have had no object in defrauding the bank, as the money did not go into their pockets, but was paid out to creditors. If these methods were irregular nearly every banker in the Northwest could be prose cuted, as everyone did the same thing. Mr. Wilson referred at some length to the schedule of assets and liabilities, and accounted for the discrepancy in the assets by the fact that in the state ment the property had been estimated -at the invoice price, whereas the as signee was obliged to make a schedule based upon the price the goods would sell for at an assignee's sale, where the price would necessarily be smaller than at a regular store sale. Mr. Wilson argued that the firm had not drawn the money; that in depositing the checks with the bank they had simply made a contract whereby the bank should pay the money for them. He closed with a brief plea for the discharge of the pris oner. Judge Shaw followed in his charac teristic style. The firm of Shotwell, Clerihew & Lothrnan had, he argued, deceived the bank by the check, and induced the cashier to pay out money on it. In making out this check Mr. Shotwell was just as guilty as Mr. Cleri hew, because he knew what was going on, and connived at defrauding the bank. Judge Shaw next passed to the question, Did Mr. Shotwell and Mr. Clerihew draw the check with criminal intent? He held that they did, and re viewed much of the testimony to prove that such was the case. At noon the court took a recess. HE KEEPS IT UP. It was 2:30 when Judge Shaw, re sumed his argument. He began by reading from the Minnesota Reports, and cited various cases similer to that of Shotwell, Clerihew & Lo'hman. The law presumed that all men intented their voluntary acts. The question now conies to this — the testimony suffi cient to repel the presumption of guilty intent? We hold that the defendants have produced no such evidence, and all their efforts to extricate themselves, sink them still deeper into the mire. Mr. Clerihew can not plead that he was drawn into this thing by Mr. Shotwell, for that does not hold in the eyes of the law. Because he was implicated -in a criminal act performed by another, it does not release him from the responsi bility attaching to the crime. Mr. Wilson attempts to -.dear Mr. Clerihew through Mr. Shotwell's monumental gall, but it will not do. It is shown by Mr. Cleri hew's own testimony that the only hope he had of those checks being paid, was that Mr. Shotwell might be able to borrow money in New York. How long would it take a judge to come to a conclusion if these persons were poor devils, charged with obtaining ?25 instead of 180,000? Not long, I warrant you. But Mr. Shotwell and Mr, Cleri hew come into this court room clothed in the eyes of the law precisely the same as the man who is charged'with stealing $25. There is no reason why their crime should be dwelt lightly upon, and Ido not think that in this case it will be. In this case even if the drawer of the check had a reasonable belief that there would be money on hand to pay it it does not relieve* him from criminal intent. Judge Shaw compared Mr. Clerihew to Judas Isca riot, who sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver, hoping that his captors would not kill him. But, continued Judge Shaw, .Judas has decency enough to return the money, and then GO AND HANG HIMSELF. '•'- • The defense has laid considerable stress on the fact that Messrs. Shotwell and Cherihew did not profit by the transaction they used the money in paying their debts. But this is not the question. The question is how they got tlie money, not what they did with it. There is probably a hole somewhere, and Mr. Wilson the attorney for the as signee of the defunct firm, might tell where it is. It is clearly shown by all the testimony introduced, that just be fore Shotwell went to New York he and Mr. Cherihew entered into an agree ment to violate the law, and then they trusted in Providence to avoid the con sequences. They agreed to draw checks on a bank where they had no money. Now if Mr. Shotwell had been lucky enough to borrow money when he went to New York, nothing would ever have been heard of this matter. These men drew some $70,000 from the Nicollet National bank, knowing that they had not a dollar in New York to make good the amount. Mr. Cherihew, if he knew anything, knew this was theft. Here Judge Shaw took up something Mr. Wilson had at, the examination, and re marked that it was something like the flowers that bloom in the spring— had nothing to do with the case. Judge Shaw here took up the testi mony of Mr. Shotwell and Mr. Cleri hew and tore it all to pieces, especially that portion which referred to the giv ing of a statement of the firm's financial condition to some commercial agency. The attorney gently insinuated that the statements of the assets of the firm had been intentionally misrepresented; that the firm knew the statement was false, or else that some §400,000 or §500,000 had gone into the pockets of the members of the firm. . The reckless swearing by the two defendants would seem to indicate that there was a deliberate schemed to (.efraud .fixed up by the defendants." The famous telegram was next taken up and dissected in a very lively man ner. It had a different meaning from that which showed on its face, continued the attorney. It meant that the machine concocted before Shotwell left for New York was working all right, as some sucker had been found in the East who would take the bogus checks, and on this wonderful telegram Mr. Clerihew justifies himself in drawing these checks on the Nicollet bank. Why, this tele gram was sent by Mr. Shotwell before he ever went into the Providence bank or had made any arrangement for get ting any money. I ask you. has Mr. Clerihew a right to rob the Nicollet bank of §SO,OOO upon the assurance of his partner that every thing is all rigid? if such a justifica tion is to prevail this statute becomes a dead letter on our statute books, and a decision in favor of the defendants by your honor would be to 70-77 * T;';V * KIEL THE STATUTE once for all and sweep it out of exist ence. Some men have to be made to be honest, and this law was enacted for that purpose. It is a hard thing that two such men as these should be ar raigned to answer a charge of crime in court, but it is an infinitely harder thing that a gigantic violation of the law like this should be winked at. It is more important that the law should be Unforced than that these guilty men should escape, for this sort of business is growing here, and unless it is stopped soon the fair name ot our goodly city will be ruined in a commercial way. What I have said applies equally well to Mr. Shotwell. He appears to have been the king bee in this big hive of fraud. He was the intelligent monkey which used the paw of the poor cat to pull chestnuts from the fire. But in this case Mr. Clerihew appears to have been a very intelligent and willing cat, and from all appearances he received a fair share of the chestnuts. Just look at Mr. Shotwell's appearance on. the witness stand. Why, he confessed nearly everything, and would occasion ally laugh, as though the untruths he was telling were great and rare jokes. He says himself that he tried to work , Julliard, but could not do it. When he says he had a promise of $75,000 he was telling what was false, as he never had • such a promise. Judge Shaw next took up the testi ; mony of Messrs. Shotwell and Clerihew in relation to the statements made to the commercial agencies, and gave Mr. • Shotwell an exceedingly lively "roast ing," charging him with having time and again made the most outrageously : false and untrue statements. I have called your attention to the reckless j swearing of these men on the stand, : continued Judge Shaw, to show you just how much dependence can be placed in their testimony. Both of them have gone on the stand and sworn falsely; that is plain.* Mr. Wilson says it is not an offense to draw a check on a bank when you have no money— well, I'll admit that; but it is a crime to draw such a check and get money out of an innocent person on it, as these men have done. If your honor should find that Mr. Foss has* GIVEN" FALSE TESTIMONY, as Mi*. Shotwell and Mr. Clerihew say he • haj, I hope you will base your opinion on something stronger than the say so of these two men. Mr. Wilson gravely stands before your honor and tells you that the methods pursued by Shotwell, Clerihew & Lothmap are the same as pursued by every businessman in Minneapolis, and unless business men could do business in that wav, they would all fail. All I have to say "is that they had better fail right here than do business in a fraudulent way. Mr. Wil son further tells you that foreign ex change is like the way iv which Shot well and Clerihew drew on the bank. Yes, its just about as much like it as the Sermon on the Mount is like a chap ter from the Police Gazette, or the cloud Hamlet showed the old man in the play is like a whale. There is no similarity between the two cases at all. In for eign exchange a man does not give a check on a bank where he has no money and then trust to luck to raise the money. In closing Judge Shaw said: "We believe we have made such a case, your honor, as would justify you, and it would be your duty, iii holding these men to answer for their crime. The two questions are: Was there an of fense, and was it such as should make it advisable to hold these men? I an swer yes, in all candor. Even Mr. Wil son does not deny, when he comes down to solid ground, that the methods practiced by these men were question able. It is high time that these high handed robberies from banks were stopped, and business men must learn that there is a certain line which they dare not cross. If criminals are to be permitted to escape because they come into court and state that they did not mean to do any wrong, it is time a change was made, and it cannot come .too soon. This business, from begin- r ning to end, shows evidence of intent tto defraud. All the facts show that the f whole thing was conceived in fraud, gestated in iniquity and brought forth a bouncing steal weighing about 20,000 pounds sterling." This closed the ar guments. This morning Judge Ma honey will give his decision. JUMPING PROPERTY. The Board of Equalization Sizing Up the Assessment Lists. If the revenue resultant from the as sessment of 1888 is not sufficient to -meet tlie demands on the city treasury, it will not be the fault of the assessor •and the board of equalization. In these superheated August days the board labors away conscientiously, raising as sessments, elevating this one a little and boosting that one out of sight. Every day there is a prolonged fight as some mealy mouthed property owner kicks softly and vigorously at his tilted valuation. The asses sor has a very 'cute way of handling personal assessments. If a return is not made, that official makes an arbitrary assessment and is con scientious enough to make it sufficiently high. If there is no kick and it becomes necessary the next year to again make an arbitrary assessment, it is made a little higher, for the assessors reason thus: If last year's assessment was too high, there would have been a kick ; there was none, so it was not high enough. So up it goes another notch. The board yesterday heard complaints from the Eighth ward, and there were plenty of them. All property on Frank lin avenue, from Cedar to Eleventh, was raised : the north side got 15 per cent added and the south side was lifted 25 per cent. Fourth avenue property was held to be high enough, and was allowed to stand as it was. The board, among its miscellaneous business, has tackled the log owners again, and Messrs. Briggs and Shaw & Elliott were ordered to ap pear and show cause why they should not each be assessed with 20,000,000 feet. New Men for the Finest. The city hall was well filled up last evening with men who had applications in before the police commission for positions on the force. All nationali ties, nearly, were represented, and the ages of the candidates ranged from twenty-one to fifty years. All the com missioners except Hoy were present at the meeting. After a short session the following persons, nearly all of them being old soldiers, were appointed, their pay beginning August 10 and end ing October 10: Jacob T. Loche, C. M. Hatch, Clement Lovely, Leander Fraz ier,George W.York, James H. Lunt, Aug ust Wold, Thomas Kelly, Nic Smith, Charles K. Wolff, H. S. Tedman, John Collins, D. B. Franklin, 11. H. Harvey, George Miller. W. H. Finnegan. J. E. Norstrom and A. J. Poole. There are seven more men to be appointed, but owing to the absence of Commissioner Hoy the matter of their selection was laid over until the regular meeting Mon day next. ■*■*■■•» f.
