In commuting the death sentence of Col. 11. (i.ay Ki.\<i, Gov. LJrciiAXAN'. of Tennessee, has made himself subject to severe censure throughout the un chivalric North. Nor do we think that even in the .South, where gentlemen and "men of honor' quite customarily consign their disputes to the arbitra- i ment of bullets— not even there will public sentiment approve the exercise ot executive clemency in the case of the slayer ot David Postox. The killing ol Poston is still tresh in public remembrance. It occurred on the morning of March 10, 1801, on one of the principal streets of Memphis. As King advanced upon his victim the latter, thinking King was making an overture: toward reconciliation, held out ; his hand in - token of friendship. (Dashing the hand aside, King placed the muzzle of a revolver against Poston's side and pulled the trigger. The cow ardly shot did its work only too well. and Postox fell dying into the arms of a friend. It was murder, plain and simple, cowardly and calculated. For months Kirn; had meditated the deed, and at last, screwing his courage to the sticking:?!, point with whisky, he brought his man down without giv lug him a word ot warning or it ; chance to defend himself. ' This manner of homicide is not consonant ■with the Southern sense of honor, no matter what (low Buchaxax's opinion of it may be. To shoot a man who is offering to shake hands with you is not the way of Southern gentlemen in set tling disputes of honor, no matter how much to the contrary some of our small bore Northern newspapers may de claim. For his interference in King's behalf, Gov. Bcchaxax will probably be eveu more severely criticised in the South than in the North. i The history of the feud between King and Postox offers no palliation for the crime. The inevitable woman in the case was Mrs. Gideon J. Pil low, widow of the. Confederate general of that name. For this woman King de serted his wife and children, and to this ' woman he deeded valuable property. When ho wearied of her, or she of him, lie sought to recover the property by suit. Posros was retained as Mrs. Pillow's attorney, and out of this grew the feud. It was not, strictly speaking, » feud, either, inasmuch as Poston had never made threats of personal violence against King. It was, as asserted above, simply a cold-blooded murder; and, according to ail the facts known to the public and to the jury which con victed King, the latter should have paid the death penalty for his cowardly crime. ITHE CASE OF JUDGE NOK MILE. When a man kills himself because of charges brought against him in a news paper he is either guilty as accused, and afraid to face the consequences, or he is the victim of a most outrageous abuse »f the liberty of the press. A case in point is that of Judge Jamks C. Nokmim:, of St. Louis, who has com mitted suicide because of imputations against his official honesty made by the &t- Louis Post-Dispatch. As a result of these charges Judge Xohmii.k had in stituted suits against the Post-Dispatch for heavy damages; but either this method of redress seemed to him in adequate, or he feared to face the issue. In a note which lie left he states briefly that it had devolved upon him to kill either himself or his detractors, and •'preferring suicide to murder, and see ing no other course open," he had de termined on the former. About the merits of the controversy between Judge Nokmile and the Post- Dispatch the public outside of St. Louis is not infoime.l. By many the Buicide will be at once accepted as con clusive evidence of guilt, and the Post- Dispatch exonerated. But, on the other hand, there is the argument that a man who valued his reputation so highly as to find life unendurable under the bare jmputatiou of dishonesty could not save risked his reputation and his life X>y being actually dishonest. Whatever may be the real merits of the case, how ever, it is certain that the situation holds little comfort for those who di rected the newspaper attack on Judge $sokuil£. They have shouldered a ■ourden of responsibility which will bear heavily on them through life, and perhaps even more heavily iv the here utter. The sad incident should serve as ft salutary warning to pencilers who are prone to let malice aud all iui<>>iaritaui«. ness guide their pencils, witho.it thought of the terrible cost to their vic tims. IGNATIUS AXD RXCTE. The esteemed Philadelphia Telegraph has discovered that "the existing rivalry between Knite Nelson, the nominee for governor of the Minnesota Repub licans, and Ignatius Donnelly, the champion of the People's party, results from their old-time rivalry in the Min nesota state senate more than ten years ago. They were continually at war on points of parliamentary procedure. * * One point raised by Nelson against the Baconian sage was so knotty that it gave the lieutenant governor a three days' search of the books before lie could decide it. His himl decision was against Donnei.lv, to the great amusement of the entire state." Amusement is still the right name for it. It is impossible to take the antics of these two "reformers" seriously. They are all things at all times, and for the all-pervading purpose of being heard from. In the house Knitk Nelson voted for the Mills bill for purposes of self-advertisement. He desired to be distinguished from his fellow Republic an members, who were content to ob scurely troop along under their party's banner. lie yearned for .notoriety and for the vulgar pleasure of "showing off." That he was actuated by any higher motive in his advocacy of the Mills bill— that it was, in short, a mat ter of principle with him— is disproved by the facility with which he now jumps back to a high protection plat form, which offers him the best vantage point for purposes of seif-advancement and advertisement. Cau such acrobatic patriotism be taken seriously? And Doxxkm.v — well, everybody knows Doxxelia-'s record as an all around acrobat. He is a whole circus in himself. Our Philadelphia contem porary will doubtless be pleased to learn that the state is stili being amused by these trick politicians. It must be con fessed, however, that the amusement is somewhat mitigated by disgust. The state will, in fact, be well content to make this the farewell appearance of these agile harlequins. A CHANCE FOR BENJAMIN. Inasmuch as President Harrison has evinced himself to be nothing; if not belieerent, and really fonder of an in ternational "scrap" than of Cauxkgie Scotch whisky, why doesn't he jump into the Cuban breach. It is a great chance for him— greater than either Italy or Chili afforded. We would have had to take either of these two countries single-handed, but in the case of Cuba we would have Spain to help us. With 4 Spain's assistance Mr. Haimmson 1 oueht to have a good lighting chance against Cuba, and perhaps, after ail, the war racket could be worked to boost the doughty JilUe brigadier airain into the presidency. As the conqueror of Cuba Mr. Hakkisox would be invincible at the polls. It would be instantly recog nized that he had saved this country millions of dollars annually by thwart ing Cuba's designs on as. There is no mistaking what those designs are. The present Cuban revolutionary movement, operating from this country as a base of supplies, is merely the forerunner of a bold scheme to compel this country to annex the island. Spanish rule is to be overthrown Bret, and then the Cubans are going to come at Uncle Sam, ham mer and tongs. Without Spain's assist ance we might be outmatched and com pelled to take in the pesky little island, with its big debt and its extravagant habits. The only way to save ourselves is lo act now in conjunction with Spain to crush the revolutionists. It is the grand opportunity of Mr. Haurison's administration. Let him buckle on his armor and wade in. If he saves us from having to take Cuba, all else will be forgiven. But he must act promptly, for the filibusters are likely to land on Cuban soil at any moment and, besides, he hasn't much time left before election day. . . - -^ An exchange suggests "Put 'em to work" as a sure cure for anarchists.

A Disease Which Resembles It in New Jersey. New Yoiik, Aug. 10.— A special to the Press from New Brunswick, N. J., says the residents of Hell metta, a thriving borough on the Pennsylvania railroad, has an epidemic. The disease is of a peculiar character, and twenty deaths have resulted in less than a week. It is much like dysen tery, but far more severe. Fears that it is Russian cholera are entertained by the physicians, who seem unable lo check it. The disease appeared first in a family of Russian Jews. Chilians Love Us. New Yokk, Aug. 10.— Col. William B. McCreary, United States consul at Valparaiso, Chili, arrived iv New York today in the Pacific mail ship Columbia. Col. McCreory says: "1 can ouly speak of Chili and the Chilians iv terms of the highest praise. There is co particle of truth iv the stories of ill-feeling on the part of Chilians against Americans. Both the government and people are friendly to Amdrica. If there has beeu any ill-feeling toward Mr. Egan it has subsided." Chorus Girls iv Luck. Special to tne Globe. Uraxd Fokks, N. D., Aue. 10.— Misses Effle and May Warner, dancers of the Calhoun Opera company, tonight received a telegram announcing the death of their uncle, Lawrence Everly, of Marion, Ind., bequeathing them his entire estate, estimated at $200,000. Another Threat to Friek. Pittsbubg, Aug. 10.— In Aid. Mc- Master's mail yesterday was an anony mous letter, which had been posted in New York city at 12 in. Monday. The letter was inclosed in a small envelope. It was written in a cramped hand, prob ably disguised. The letter read: Aid. McMasters. Pittsburg, Pa.— Sir: Some time this week a party of men will leave here, and will try to kill you and Supt. Frick again . _ May Lynch King. Memphis, Aug. 10.— It is reported here iate tonight that the Louisville & Nashville passenger train, which left here this evening for Nashville was boarded at Tennessee Midland Junc tion, just outside the city, by forty men armed with Winchesters. It is be lieved that they are friends of Poston, and have started for McK.eny.ie with the object of overtaking King at that point aud lynching him. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY €LLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, v*% ODDS AND ENDS. It Is probable that some of the Press dub jockeys will repeat their sensational per formances at the state fair. -:- If it is not too late, a suggestion might be made to the stale fair managers to offer a few prizes for a small dog exhibition. One of the attractive features of last year's fair were the St. Bernard dogs exhibited by Mr. Scott. Almost everybody who visited the ground crowded the tent wherein they were placed, and. if the managers want to add to the at tractiveness of the fair, something of the sort should be taken up. Something out of the ordinary run is necessary. People are tired of paying their eimolcons to see prize cabbages and potatoes. The outlook for Manager Bixby's testi monial benefit at the Grand Monday indi cates a bumping bouse. Bixby deserves it. as no enterprise for any charity or public body has appealed to him for assistance without a ready and hearty response. What a raid there would be if Minneapolis were to corral the Kellogg Newspaper com pany, and with it their popular T. J. Price: It is satisfactory lo learn from Mr. Price that the transfer of the Kellogg officers from St. Paul is exceedingly improbable. The Knights Templar are at present dis porting themselves at Denver. They will be entirely outdone in two weeks, wheu the Minnesota editors take possession of that city. Old Pease. Irving Todd and Charlie Stine, when they get on the war path, will STirprise the natives. Whht a great manufacturing center St.Panl wouiu be today if all the factories and busi ness ventures "considered" by public bodies were located in the city. Thecit^would also be a great manufacturing headquarters if the mysterious Eastern capitalists, who. ever and anon, look ever the city for the pur pose of starting a factory cf some sort or an other, were to actually estaolish the enter prises they are credited with projecting. ■*%*■ The real estate men are not saying much these days, but for all that there has been an excellent business done. The residential properly put up this summer has been equal to that of many of the most prosperous sea sons iv the history of the city, and when the year's work is summed up St. Paul will dis play that solid, substantial growth which has been so characteristic of the city. R. C. Elliott, who filled tiie position of pri vate secretary to Gov. Merriam and is now engaged in looking after the governor's "out side" financial interests, was in the city yes terday, lie will shortly leave for the Pacific, Where he expects to remain several months. The Pacific coast, he says, is where all the money is goiug to be made the uext few years. The recent storms have made terrible hav oc for tne farmers, acre upon acre of wheat and barley having been iaid to the ground. Hundreds of acres of wheat will not be har vested, owing to the devastation of the storm, nnd the general condition of the agri culturist is not near so rosy as what it was last year at this time. If there be many more storms the next two weeks, the conditions will become very embarrassing. What has become of the public baths which were to be inaugurated by the present administration? A petition was presented the council by certain lndies,and it W9s out that the matter would be pushed Forward. Uut weeks have passed, and nothing lias been do::e. The special characteristic of this administration is wind. They talk, talk, talk, and accomplish nothing. Editor Pease, of Anoka, was in the city yesterday. He does not at all reiiih the selection of Knute Kelson as the Republican gubernatorial nominee, and is of opinion that many Americana will refuse to vote for bim. Mr. Porse, however, when the soreness of defeat wears away, will get off his coat and tight tor tis party's ticket. The Anoka Union is one of the best edited, as it is cf the most powerful weekly papers In the state. Mr: Pease is also a very treuchaut editor; there is no mincing of words with him. What Fusion May Accomplish. Minneapolis Times. The Republican managers in this state are working themselves into a state of mind over the possibility of a fusion of the Democratic and People's party forces. And certainly, if there is a reasonable prouabilitv of such a com bination, there is abundant reason for Republican distress. Such a union of forces has been effected in Kansas, and the result of it will be tiie wresting of the electoral vote of that state from the Republicans iv November next. A similar union of the two parties, whose common object is the overthrow of Re publicanism, would achieve the same all-icportaat result here in Minnesota. There would be nothing incongruous or unprecedented in such a union. Fu sion lias played an important part in the history of the United States. The Republican party is itselt a creature of fusion. The People's party in Minne sota is in perfect accord with the Dem ocracy on the tariff issue, and on gen eral lines ot reform. With its incidental vagaries the Democratic party has noth ing to do, nor would it indorse them in the act of co-operating with it for cer tain common ends. The combined force of the Democrats and Alliance men in Minnesota at the last state election exceeded that of the ; Republicans by over 50,000 votes. It is certain, therefore, that fusion among the various anti-Republican elements would mean the inevitable loss of the state this fall to the Republicans. The dissenters from Republican rule, under various names, are unquestiona bly in the majority, not only in Minne sota, but in nearly all of the doubtful Western states. Fusion is a fair and honorable application ot the principle of minority representation. It is not a trading away of principles, but an equitabie adjustment of representation. It is now evident that the fusion idea will be utilized with powerful effect in a number of states, to unite all the anti-Republican forces for the deteat of a common enemy in the coming national struggle. It is possible, as it would be entirely reasonable, proper and prac tical, for the same elements in Minne sota to effect a similar union with the same great object in view. Lawler Will Win. Chicago Herald. Frank Barrett, the partner of ex-Gov. Campbell in a mining business in Min nesota, was at the Grand Pacific yester day. He oscillates between Ohio and Minnesota, and keeps posted on polit ical affairs in both states. Be holds the same political faith as does the ex gqvernor, and predicts that Minnesota will elect a Democratic governor and give its electoral vote to the Democratic candidates, but says that it is hardly probable that Ohio can be wrested from the Republicans. "Lawler is a popular man in Minnesota, and his chances of election are eminently better than aie Nelson's, ' he said. li The record of the latter on the tariff question is such as to detract from his vote. He is too much of a protectionist for the Demo crats and too much of a free trader for the Republicans. Minnesota farmers are all ready tor tariff reform, as their vote next November will show." Destroyed by Lightning. Rutland, Vt., Aug. 10.— The Harris Manufacturing company's works were struck by lightning and partly burnefr this evening. The works employed seventy-five men, and were chiefly de voted to chairmaking and miscellaneous woodworking. The loss is £75,000, with §23,000 insurance. The buildings were alongside the Central Vermont railway property, and a storehouse containing bridge timber and a lumber shed were burned. Loss about {10,000. Fighting in Honduras. New Orleans, Aug. 10. — Letters from Honduras report a big battle in the interior, some say at Botijas, others at Daoli, between the government ■and revolutionary forces.

Aug. 10.— Jim Burge, ot Australia, and Billy La Vigne, of Saginaw, Mich., lightweights, en gaged in a finish fight for a $1,250 purse at the Pacific Athletic club tonight. It was <J:25 p. in. before the men entered the rine. Dan nie Needham and Tim McGrath second ed LaVigne, Billy Murphy and Joe Goddard seconding Burge. Mike Sul livan was referee. La Vigne's superior height and reach cave him an advantage over Burge, who kept boring in to little advantage. LaVigne cauitht him with both hands on the get away in I the third aud nearly dropped him. In the fourth Burge scored some hard right-handers on the jaw. staggering La Vigne. In the fifth round La Vigne jaobed at long range, Burge egging him on and waiting with the right. From the sixth to the ninth round Burge shaped up better and kept La Vigne guessjn?. He would drop his head and take La \ igne's half-arm jolts in the face at close quarters without a return, but would swing his right on the head or kidneys as La Vigne got away. The next rive rounds were slow, La Vurne avoiding close quarters. The next three rounds were a little warmer. Buree's left ribs were somewhat marked and he had lost a tooth. La Vigne was apparently as good as ever. The seventeenth to the twenty-first were much like the preceding rounds. From the twenty-first Burge went in desperately, but La Vigne's shiftiness saved the latter much punishment. The contest looked no nearer a conclusion at the twenty-third than at the commence ment. The only thing to vary the monotony of the next four rounds was l>a Vigne's gallop around the ring. Burge was eettiug tired, while La Vigne's con hdence was on the increase, and he dis dained to land a blow except on the most favorable opportunity. The twenty-ninth and thirty-first rounds were marked by some hot ex changes. Iv the thirty-fourth Lavigue caught Burge one of the hardest blows of the light, a left-arm jolt on the face, sending the Australian to the ropes. In the thirty-fourth Lavigne got in a stroug left upper-cut, with a shoulder iiudi^e, that nearly did the Australian. A MANITOBA SCANDAL Which Involves a Well-Known Military Man. Spec-ial to the Globe. Winnipeg, Han., Aug. 10.— The ar rest of Col. Buy, a prominent banker and military man of Port Arthur, who is well known throughout the entire do minion, has created a tremendous sen sation in society circles. The facts of the scandal are these: Col. Ray met on the street Mrs. Bathurst, wife of Dr. Bathurst, a well known physician aud engaired her in conversation over church matters, both bein;: leading members of a city church. They walked towards Bathurst's residence, and when it was reached the colonel asked permission to enter to continue conversation. A few minutes after entering Ray made an in decent proposal to the lady, the effect of which so startled her that she swooned away. While in a faintin? con dition Mrs. Bathurst says Col. Ray accomplished his purpose. When thd lady recovered she at once alarmed the household. Col. Ray. hear ing that proceedings were to be taken, it is said, sent a friend with a check for ?o,t)00 to suppress the matter. This she indignantly refused, and at once swore out a warrant for tbe man's arrest, which was executed. Dr. Bathurst, who was out of the did not return until the following day. He is furious over the outrage, and swears to shout Ray if he escapes justice in the courts. PANIC OF THK SAALE. Caused by the Sinking of the Torkenskjold. London, Aug. 10.— The steamship Saale, Capt. Hichter, of the North Ger man Lloyd line, arrived at Southamp ton with the crew of the Norwegian bark Tordeuskiold, which was scut tled on Aug. 4. The collision occurred in a heavy fog, and the bark went down within a tew minutes after being struck. The captain and crew were taken off. On the Saale there was a panic among the passengers, most of whom were in the main cabin, as soon as they felt the shock of the col lision. All ran on deck, men and wom en coming up half-dressed from their state rooms. The officers went around assuring all that the Saale had suffered no injury, and that the peril had been happily averted by the captain. Perfect order was restored before the boats re turned with the crew of the bark. The passeneers of the Saale held a meeting and signed a memorial to the captain, commending him for his gallant be havior and" his presence of mind in turning the Saale bow on, so that the bark was prevented from striking her m the side. _ ON AN OPEN FORGE. Fatal Injuries to a Workman Dur ing a Dispute. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 10. — Tonight at the repair forges of + he St. Louis & Suburban Electric road, Scotty Morris, an ex-convict and generally tough citizen, and Fred. Dubois, a fellow workman, became involved in a serious dispute over their respective nationalities and the merits of their particular female friends. A crowd of over a dozen of Dubois' friends finally rushed at Morris, throwing chisels, hammers, etc., and crying "Lyncn him;" "Kill him," to the now thor oughly frightened ex-convict. They threw him on an open forge, which was heated to white heat. Just as this was done a squad of policemen, who had been sent Tor, ar rived and rescued the victim, but not before he was fatally burned. With all his strength he resisted the efforts of the officers to place him in the ambu lance, believing he was to be put undpr arrest instead of taken to the hospital. Several of his assailants were arrested. CDT A TRAIN" IN TWO. Strange Damage Done "by a Texas Water Spout. San Antonio. Tex., Aug. 10.— The country a few miles east of here was visited last night by a water spout, and the San Antonio river was soon a raging torrent. The waters swept down upon tbe Southern Pacific railroad bridge as a train was crossing. Part of the train crossed safely, but the four real- cars went through. Conduc tor McMillin received probably fatal injuries. Brakeman Frank Leonard was killed. Brakemen Raymond, Waldo, Quick and Goodwin were all seriously injured. Thirteen miles south of here a waterspout was seen a quarter of a mile away from the International & Great Northern track at 8 o'clock tins morning. The rainfall in Southwest Texas during the last three days has been the heaviest ever known. The drought is broken. No Bavarian Band. Munich, Aug. 10. — The Bavarian minister of war has refused to allow Bavarian military bands to give con certs in Chicago next year. The Prus sian minister of war gave a similar de cision some time ago. Negotiations are said to be pending 1 for concerts at' the fair by the royal regimental band from Saxony. The band is the Brunswick Hussars, which will consider the prop osition. Tbe Prelates Appeal.

How the City Treasurer Kind ly Helps Out His Cleri cal Force. For "Rush" Business in De scriptions a Modest Fee Is Charged. I The Story of a Local Coun terfeit Gang: Is a Bottom less Fake. Tom Prendergast's Roll Call r> Leads to a Peculiar Law ' Suit. ■■ v ; The London & Northwest American 'Mortgage company is, as the name would suggest, engaged in loaning money on city property. In order to protect itself the company has to see that none of the property on which it holds mortgages is sold " for delinquent assessments. In accordance with this, it is the custom to secure a statement from the county and city .treasurers as to condition of the lands in question. Several days ago J. H. Foote, attorney for the company, presented a partial list of property on which they hold mortgages to the county and city treas urers' office for a statement as to delin quent taxes and assessments. At the county treasurer's office the list was taken, and the following day the same returned with the information desired. At the city treasurer's office the clerk took the list, a duplicate of that given the county treasurer, and as Mr. Foote was in a hurry for the infor mation marked it "rush" and said it would be ready the following day. A boy sent to the city treasurer's office a day or so afterward was told Mr. Miller desired to see the manager of the company. A visit to Mr. Miller's offie was made. and|that official informed the representatives of the company that the work would have to be paid for at three cents per description in lorder to insure prompt attention. Of course, he said the work could be done without any payment, but it would have to take its regular course, and as the company wanted the matter rushed it would be cheaper to pay three cents for each de scription examined. The representatives of the company did not take kindly to the plan pro posed by Mr. Miller, and asked to have the question referred to the city attor ney for an opinion as to whether they would have to pay for this class of work. Tc such reference Mr. Miller objected. saying that Mr. Lawler did not agree with him in politics. The request was then made that the law under which Mr. Miller maue his ruling be sljown, but this also was refused. In order that there might be no delay, the charges on the work, amounting to $1.75, were paid by a check draw* in favor of Conrad \V. Miller, city treasurer, and the desired information was soon obtained. A representative of the company said yesterday that it was not so much the amount it cost to get the information he objected to. but the principle of the thing. On the list which he submitted .'were from fifty to sixty descriptions, and out of that number it was found over 82,000 was due .on delinquent .assessments. The idea, he said, of paving tor something . which would increase the receipts of the city treasury i was odd, to say the ■ least. In the con versation with Mr. Miller that gentle man suggested the payment of three cents for each description would be much cheaper than for the company to hire a man to stand in front of a window in the office and hand in for examina tion a separate description of each piece of pi=6perty on which •information was .desired, i. This the manager admitted, and was one of the reasons why the money was paid for the work. ' Mr. Miller explained that Cochran & Walsh had paid for the same work with out any objection.- ■•■ When seen yesterday afternoon about the matter, Mr. Miller explained by say ing it was a system which had been in force under Mr. Keis' management of the office. The money, he said, was paid to clerks in the office who worked after hours on the lists. He had been informed that clerks under Mr. Keis had done the same thing, and he sup posed received the money the same as at the present time. He had told his clerks all they could get out of it was theirs. Tne law. he said gave the own ers of property - the right to make in quiries about assessments on property, but as he looked at the matter the loan company were not the owners, and were not entitled to have the work done so as to delay other work of the office. MERELY A FAKE. No Truth in the Story or a Local Counterfeit Gang. The story printed yesterday moraine by a St. Paul paper, in which it is made to appear that a counterfeiting gang is at work in the neighborhood of the Twin Cities, is a fake, pure and simple. Not only is it untrue that such a gang is at work, but it is equally untrue that there is any considerable amount of spurious money in circulation about St. Paul. J. W. Lawrence, United States inspector, said last night that the story was nothing more than a sensational fake, worked up from the bald fact that several per sons had had counterfeit money passed upon them— something that is occurring every day in St. Paul, as well as other large cities. A similar denial was made at police headquarters. Detective Werrick, who was sent to Denver Sat urday, went not on any counterfeiting business, but at the request of Chief Farley, ot that place, to assist in look ing after the thieves who flock to such gatherings as the Templar conclave. There were wheels in the head of the reporter who wrote the fake alluded to. VOICE AT A PREMIUM. Suit Growing Out of Tom Pren- ii dergast's Koll Calls. 5 The question as to whether a person had spoken in an audible tone of voice is likely to cause the city no end of trouble and expense. One of the clauses of that monumental mass of folly known ; as the Bell charter reads as follows: 5i "Any member of eitnerof said bodies, who being ore sent when his name is called, fails ;• 10 vote upon, any then pending proposition, in a tone plainly understood by the presiding officer, {-hail be counted as u.iving voted in the negative on the pending proposition." !*, This clause refers to the manner of ; voting of the dual council. The legal ity of the grading and improvement of \ East Third street now questioned on the interpretation of the above clause by David J. Hennessy, who objects to .'baying 120,000 as his share of the ex pense of the work, that amount having 'been assessed upon his property as being benefited to that extent by the grading and cutting of slopes. Yesterday an application was filed in the district court by the attorneys for Mr. Hennessy. asking that a writ of mandamus be . served upon Thomas A. Prendergast, the city clerk, who is the clerk also to the two branches of the council, citing him to appear before the court and show cause why he should not alter the record of the pro ceedings of the council relating •to the improvement of East Third street. The 'papers tiled state that in all the proceed -ings of the council, that when the vote was takt'ii on the matter and the roll was called by. the slerk, that no member responded at all. and that according to the charter the votes should have been recorded in the negative; yet the record; shows that the members voted in the 7 affirmative. The coses cited refer to : me order sent . to the board of ' public \ works instructing that body to make the assessments for damages, and also to the award of the contract for the grading and filling of the street. Judge Brill issued the writ as asked for, and it was made returnable for Sept. 3. City Clerk Prendergast, when seen about the matter, said that he conld not remember if the members of the council had voted in an audible tone of voice or not on the occasions referred to in the papers filed, but he should judge they had done so, for if not the record would not show that they had voted ac cording to the law. The law required that the presiding officer should hear the votes in an audible manner, and he presumed that on the occasions in ques tion that the presiding officer had heard the votes or he could not have an nounced the result. The city attorney will appear ou behalf of the city clerk at the hearing of the motion a 9 made in the writ issued. ANOTHER WINNING TRIO. Dougherty, Weisenburg and Sny- der Score It Winners. Three more games were played in the Daily GHbOBS amatuer handicap bill iard tournament at Foley's last even ing. The winners were Dougherty, Weisenburg and Snyder. There was a large attendance, and the applause was lavish as the performers clicked off point after point and scored difficult counters. The tourney is now in its last half, and the excitement is intensifying. The betting is now in favor of Dougherty, the. Minneapolis candidate, as against the held. He has defeated all the men w-ith handicap allowances, and will now tackle the scratch playars. Yes, he has defeated one scratch man— Capen— in a hard-fought battle, in which Capen had far the best of it up to the last, when Dougherty made a run of 23 and out. Last evening Dougherty played a speedy £ame. He defeated Jlonald 100 to 55, and quit with an average of 5. His high runs were 21, 15. 14, 11 and 10. Weisenberg surprised Ins friends, and outplayed Summers 100 to 70, and then Snyder defeated Hatch 100 to 87. This evening's card will present Wel den vs. Dickinson, Suyder vs. Foley and Clow vs. Capen. A Montana Statesman. I Congressman and Mrs. W. W. Dixon, of Montana, passed through St. Paul yesterday, on their way home from Washington. Judge Dixon is mentioned for both .governor and -congressman, and, while he has no great liking tor a political office, it is more than likely that he would prefer to be chief execu tive of Montana than to be returned to congress. .Judsre Dixon is quite certain of Mr. Cleveland's election, and de clares that he will receive the three votes of Montana in the electoral col lege.

Liggett, superintendent of this department, has received a letter from the Lavata Jersey Cattle company of Topeka, 111., stating that a herd of Jersey cattle,headed by the famous Tor mentor, Gilderoy bull, would be sent to the Minnesota fair this fall. Tormentor is a blue ribbon animal, and this herd won a number of premiums at the fail last year, including the grand here sweepstakes prize for dairy breeds. . ADVISED TO HURRY. Canadian Procrastination May Have Serious Results. Toronto, Ont., Aug. 11.— Mail, alluding to the official and semi official reports that are made on the subject of the intentions of the govern ment with respect to canal tolls, says: '•It will no doubt be found that the position is really this: The government has discussed the subject in council, and has practically decided to withdraw the rebate, but has not rendered its decision to the governor general in official form, and is therefore unable to announce it. There is a disposition to assail the ministers tor what is termed their position in the back-down. This is not so. The ministers may be blamed for entering upon a policy in respect of which adverse representations have been made from the other side without first counting the cost and de terminining upon the possibility of continuing it. But it is a false national pride which insists that they shall pursue a course which, in the end, may lead to further difficulties. If the government intends, as it is believed it does, to abolish the rebate, it ought to do so before the American law placing an embargo on Canadian vessels at the Sault comes into force." — MOORISH SOLDIERS FALL. • One Hundred of Them Are Killed • by Tribesmen. Tangier," Aug. 10.- At 8:30 this morning the Moorish troops made another advance in the direction of the territory occupied by the rebellious tribesmen. They ascended the hills and set fire to a number of villages. The inhabitants lied upon the approach of the troops. They also set lire to the bushes to prevent the tribesmen from finding snelter among them. Two thou sand of the sultan's troops made two attacks upon the rebellious Angherite tribesmen and were each time driven back in great disorder. Orders were finally given for the troops to re treat, and the force, in a badly demoralized condition, made their way to the camp at Tangier. Consider able excitement prevails in- the city, as ; it is feared that the tribesmen, in the i first flush of their victory, may attempt an attack upon the city. The Moorish soldiers fared very badly in their en gagements, 100 of their number being eitner killed or badly wounded. The Aneherites, on the other hand, suffered but few casualties. - -m*- LOOK VERY BLACK. The Finances of the Order of the Iron Hall. Indianapolis. Aug. 10.— The plaint iffs in the suit for the receiver of the Order of the Iron Hall today had sub poenas served upon the officers and members of the executive committee. The defense claims that the bank at Philadelphia in which Supreme Justice Somerby is an officer has about £750, --000 of the order's money. The plaintiffs claim the bank is insolvent; that as soon as a receiver is appointed here the first move will be to take charge of the bank and save as much of the order's money as possible, and that the super intendent of banking is ready to close the bank. The allegation is made that Soinerby expended large sums on state legislatures without authority from anybody. NO AMERICAN CARDINAL Because of the Diverging Views or Ireland and Corr&an. London, Aug. 10.— The Chronicle's Rome correspondent says: The pope's desire to make an American cardinal at the next consistory has been frustrated by the divergence of views of Arch bishops Corrigan and Ireland.

As a Member of the Iron Bri gade He Won Laurels at the Front. Laughable Mistake of the Elo quent and Witty Bede, of Duluth. How the Delegates Amused Themselves While Waiting fop Their Trains. Special to the Globe. Bkaixkkd. Minn., Aug. 10. — The nomination of Maj. Baldwin for con gress by the Democrats of this district yesterday was the cause of general jubilation and rejoicing last evening and today, for many of the delegates re mained ovsr a good part of today, and all of them were in the city last even ing. During the early part of the even ine the nominee was serenaded at the Arlington by the Brainerd band. and the entire city seemed to have turned out. Maj. Baldwin improved the occasion to make the acquaintance of a great many people who desired to meet him, and the result is that there are more Bald win votes in Brainerd than even the most enthusiastic friend of the unas suming nominee would have thought of claiming. QThe wisdom of the nomination of Maj. Baldwin has already been shown in the general good feeling which fol lowed among the delegates" from every part of the district. The bearing of Maj. Baldwin is such that he impresses every one at first sight, and they can not help liking him. That he will prove a vote-getter no member of yesterday's convention doubts. Maj. Baldwin strikes every one as an able, honest, straightforward mas, and these are the qualities his friends have claimed for him. lie is a thoroughly clean man, and his magnificent war record cannot but commend him and his party to the people who nave been accustomed to the approved methods used by the op position in their campaigns. The story of Maj. Baldwin's life is a campaign document of no small force in itself. Mayor M. It. Baldwin was born in Vermont fifty-three years ago, spending the first eisrht years of his life among the Green mountains of his native state. in 1847 his family moved to Wisconsin. His early education was of the best, and he shosved great proficiency, always standing well in his classes. He en tered the Lawrence university at Ap pleton, Wis., passing through his soph omore year, afterwards applying him self for lour years to practicaland civil engineering-. He also read law a year and a halt in the office of ex-Gov. Coles at Oshkosh, Wis. When the war broke out youns Bald win, then a staunch Democrat, as he is now and always has been, enlisted as a private ou April 19, 1801. His war rec ord is one he may well be proud of. He served four years in the Second Wisconsin infantry, brig aded with the famous "Iron Brigade." At the first battle of Bull Kun he was wounded slightly, and at the second battle of Bull Kun was se riously wounded. At the battle of Get tysburg he was captured, escaped again and was recaptured; was confined in Libbey prison, Macon, Ga., and Colum bia, S. C. Ho was one of the 200 at Lib bey prison who drew tickets in the "lot tery of death." and was one of the officers who was confined at Charleston, a. Cm under fire of Union batteries in retaliation for Confederate officers said to be under fire at Fortress Monroe. Baldwin escaped from Columbia prison, where lie had been confined, and was recaptured by bloodhounds when within hearing of Sherman's guns at Savannah. He was finally exchanged. Such is the war record of Maj. Baldwin. Enlisting aa a private, he won his way to the front by bravery and ability, being hon orably discharged with the rank of major. After the war Maj. Baldwin went into the railroad business, being general su perintendent of a railroad in Kansas for five years. In 1575 he moved into Min nesota, and became general Northwest ern agent of the Grand Trunk railway. In 18S5 he settled in Duluth, and has resided there ever since. During the past five years Maj. Baldwin has been, and is still, president of the chamber of commerce at Duluth. He is one of the leading citizens of the city, is univer sally respected for his probity, gentle man-like qualities, ability, and, above ali, his innate modesty. No man ever heard of a mean act clone by Maj. Baldwin. He is a consistent Demo crat, ready at any tinm to serve his party, either as an hum ble private or as a leader. It is his boast that he never sought office, and, in fact, never held a political office. He is also proud of his Democracy. "I went to the war as a Democrat," said he, "served through the war as a Dem ocrat, and was honorably discharged. still a Democrat." Mnj. Baldwin has a very pleasing ad dress, is a eood speaker, and has the happy faculty of interlarding his re marks with wit and humor. During the trip of Duluth business men into the Northwest last fall, Maj. Baldwin was along, and, as one gentleman expressed it. "he would start in, when calied upon to speak, with the statement that he was not so accustomed to public speak ing as the lest, and would then pitch in and srive the best talk of the whole gang." The major intends to devote his whole time to the campaign. His majority in St. Lcuis county bids fair to exceed even the sanguine predictions and expectations of his friends. Owing to the wretched train service at Brainerd, all the delegates were obliged to remain over in the city last evening, and, naturally enough, with such a crowd of jolly good fellows to gether, there was considerable fun. One of the amusing incidents of the evening, if true, places a horse on either J. Adam Bede. the eloquent and witty Duluthian, or else the local band. Mr. Bede was out taking a constitutional after dinner last evening when he heard a souna of music in the distance. He remembered at once that his friend, Maj. Baldwin, was to be serenaded, and he, of course, was determined that he should not be absent. He turned his steps in the direction of the music and was soon following a crowd of men, women and children. Mr. Bede did not examine the make-up of the musicians closely, being so filled with pleasure that so many people should be out to honor Duluth's favorite son. He was mildly awakened after he had walked a mile or two in the sand by his friend, P. M. tlraff, who called out: "What are you doing out there, Bede? Are you not going to the serenade?" ■ "Of course 1 am,"' said Bede, "Come along." "Hadn't you better come with me and get out of that procession," an swered Mr. Graff, laughingly. This aroused Mr. Bede, who, on look ing up, found that he had . been follow ing, not the Brainerd band, but the Sal vation Army. Only two sessions of the convention were down on the programme, but a third one was held in the evening. As happened, Donnelly and Girard were booked for a performance at the opera house, and nearly everyone of the dele gates and visiting Democrats decided to spend their evenme there. The per formance did not begin until after the serenade was over, but when it did commence it was evident that the house was filled with Democrats. There was a picture of ' President Harrison . huns against one of the wnlls, so fixed that the wind could blow-t hrough. his whis kers with care, and there were a great many brieht things said by the leading members ot the company for the benefit of the Democratic members of the audi ence, all of which were vigorously ap plauded. The seating of the delegates was amusing. The two upper boxes, for ex ample, were filled with the Morrison delegation, Register of Deeds Henry Goulet,Peter Medved and Joseph Gross berg iv one, and FranK W. Lyon and Senator George Geissel in the other. "Billy" Quinn, Dr. O'Hair, Sheriff Nu gent and J. H. Wendell represented Wright county, and were in what is generally known as the very fore-front of the bald-headed row. David T. Cal houn. Judge Theodore Bruener, J. P. Fahnlander and E. P. Barn urn were on hand for old Steams.but did not occupy adjoining saats. strange to say. Charley Mood J.P.Wilson, Auditor Galarneault and John Shuler represented Benton. while M. F. O'Toole was the handsome and sturdy representative ot the new county of ltasca. Andy Gowau was on hand for Carl ton and William Cordner looked out for Mi lie Lacs. Judge Tufts, of Todd, talKed Democracy with A. G. Broker, of Wadena. between acts. P. M. Graff and A. F. Taylor, of St. Louis, were well in front, and when th« curtain was rung clown joined in the popular cry for a speech from Frank Lyon, Hon. J. L. Harwick, of Sher burne, was present and could not help thinking of the time when the entire membership of the two houses of the legislature attended a performance at the Metropolitan for the purpose of gathering information for use in voting upon the famous anti-tights bill, intro duced by the senator from Scott. Although reduced rates were request ed of the railroads they were denied, and every delegate had to pay full fare to and from the convention. Many of the members of the committee consid ered this refusal as a discrimination against the convention. This is prob ably not the case, but the fact that it came about as it did shows how neces sary it is for a railroad to have some man who keeps posted on such matters. The St. Louis delegation had a ntim ber of splendid young workers in its ranks. It is small wonder that .Repub lican majorities are dwindling to noth ing in that county. The new congressional committee will be composed of one member from each county and one at large, to be named by the chairman of the convention, Hon. D. T. Calhoun. The delegates from old Steams pledged the largest majority in the his tory of the county for Maj. Baldwin. SEE BOODLE IN IT. Over Four Millions Offered for "World's Fair Souvenirs.

At Niederlahnstein the shock was so severe that a number of chimneys were thrown down, and the people were in great fear of their lives. ARE YOU MUSICAL?
