ONE POOR QUAKER Broke Into the St. Paul Work house During the Past Year- THERE WERE MANYQUAKERS Of a Different Sort in the Large Number of Drunks and Vag> . WHO FEASTED ON BOLOGNA And Other Hog-Like Delica cies—Statistics Are Inter esting. . Of numerous annual reports sub mitted to the "mayor yesterday by various heads of city department?, that of the St. Paul workhouse was the most interesting. It was so, be cause, unlike the others, no portion of it has been previously published, and, furthermore, ' because' it 'con tains some statistics concerning our "drunks," "vags" and "disorderlies," which human nature finds far more entertaining than, for instance, the worthy city, engineer's annual state ment of how hany days* work per man, per cart, the department can show, or how many miles of sewer his inspector has explored. For instance, figures like these are diverting: Of , the 1,273 men and women received at the workhouse during the year .1894, only ninety nine belonged to the gentler sex. Statistics like "those" should cause the lords of creation to think of the difference. Of these 1,273 infractors of the law one was a Quaker. Alas for the Quakers! It might be added that 624 professed to be Catholics, 494 Protestants, 6 Hebrews and 148 said that they had not had the benefit of any religious instruction. Possibly some of these latter, not knowing any better, lied." The re port does not state. Whisky is still on top, with its in evitable effect, "vagrancy," a close second, for there were 495 "drunks" and 327 "vags" admitted during the year. Some of the. 211 "disorderly conducts" received might owe their incarceration to whisky or its equiv alent. For appropriating other peo ple's cash, clothing and other be longings, in a sum less than $25, 145 visited the resort at Como. Ability to read and write does not seem to have kept 1,199 of the crowd out of the workhouse, while 71, who possessed neither accomplishment, and 3, who could, like some police officers, read a trifle, but SCORNED TO . WRITE, fell in the same predicament. Of the entire 1,273, 557 called them selves , "laborers." Of the remainder, 32 admitted they were cooks, 53 said they were teamsters, 31 were bricklay ers, and 17 owned up to being barbers. ■ Asked if they drank intoxicating bev erages, 1,175 confessed that they had contracted the pleasurable habit, but the other 98 insisted that they were temperate. "•"*"'; . "Ten dollars or ten days," was the sentence 0f; 475 who didn't have the $10, and 447 remained with. Supt. Fitzger ald for thirty days because they didn't have $25. There were 79 sent up for ninety days, and 3 stayed at the workhouse for a whole, year. The act ual number in the workhouse during the year • was 1,386. From a business standpoint, .the "work'us" did well. It was self-sus taining, and paid into the city treas ury $">,772.24. It is entitled to credit for labor to the amount of $17,041.40. which makes an aggregate credit of $22,813.64. The institution drew $23,653.21 from the treasury, leaving a balance to the ex pense account of $839.57. Had not the drouth last summer destroyed the produce of the farm, the. earnings would have been considerably larger. In their report, the directors compli ment Supt. Fitzgerald highly for his efficlsnt administration. There was only one death among the prisoners in the entire year, and the general health of the 'inmates was good, likewise' their deportment. The knitting" shop earned §8,666.66, and the average num ber of prisoners was 100.51 per day. SCANNELL FOR CLERK.

Freeman has appealed to the district court to assist him in".re covering $450 he was apparently too hasty in investing for the privilege of manufacturing and selling "The Great French Preserving Process." He has brought suit to get his money back from Snoad, Savage & Co., and in his complaint he alleges that when he purchase^ the right to use and sell said "process" in Watonwan and Da kota counties, in this state, the de fendants agreed to refund his money if he did not find that the "process.*, would preserve all kinds of meats, fish, eggs, butter, cider, vegetables and fruits in such a way that they would retain their natural flavors. He claims that he found the "process" will not accomplish these wonderful things.and so attempted to have his money re funded, but failed. ■..;'..-. :,"■ :C" RELIEF IS COMING IN FOR PRISONERS AT THE Ql AM'IXED HOI CITIZENS RESPOND NOBLY To the Appeal From Health Com missioner Stone — Kew Cases i Have Developed. Health Commissioner Stone says that private contributions for the, benefit of the quarantined inmates of 364 Rice street are beginning to be received, but that more are needed. Hiler Horton was one of the first to respond to Dr. Stone's suggestion that citizens able to donate provisions to these unfor tunate people should do so v Mr. Hor ton gave an order for groceries and meats upon. Michaud Bros, and the Spangenberg Meat company. These concerns triplicated the order as to each item, thus providing for other families in the block. Yesterday Mr. Mahler, of Field, Mahler & Co., con tributed $10 to be expended in provis ions for one of the families. There are eight families in the building, and some of them are still in need of pro visions, and it is hoped that the con tributions will continue. . Citizens should be informed that the period of quarantine is uncertain, as should any new case . of small-pox break out in the block within two weeks all the other inmates must be confined for fourteen days after the exposure to that case. For instance, the quarantine at 364 Rice street was instituted the instant the health de partment discovered that Mrs. Leidgen was a victim of small-pox. That was about March 9. If no other case, had made its appearance in the block with in fourteen days, the inmates and their apartments, would be disinfected, and the quarantine terminated. But ' last Saturday Mrs. Leidgeh's child was at tacked by the disease and removed to the quarantine hospital. Consequent ly the quarantine of the premises is extended at least two weeks from last Saturday, that being the latest ex posure to the disease experienced by tho inmates of the block. Accordingly if a third case appears there) within .the coming two weeks the quarantine will be prolonged again. ;■>-* .■'';"•; *yy The . best price is the lowest price— taking* quality as a factor.

The vital sections of the ordinance are as follows: Section 1. Any person or persons who shall habitually waste or . misspend his or her time and frequent houses of ill-fame or any questionable resort or resorts, shall be guilty of a misde meanor. - - .; j Sec. 2. Any person or persons who shall wander about the streets or any other public place in a suspicious 7 or improper manner, or being idle, ' does not make an honest attempt to pro cure employment, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. .

The communication was re ceived and placed on file, and then Aid. Markham offered a resolution provid ing that the president of each body appoint a committee of four to repre sent the city upon this occasion. Th© resolution was adopted, and later Aid.

The matter was referred to the corporation attorney, who will remedy - the { technical defeat, and Mr. Symbnds can draw his pay. witjhout'' assuming the title -so offensive |to Messrs.; McCardy and Reardon. j A The bond of -Hennessey Bros.; &'' Cox accompanying, their contract for-' the paving of Sixth street with ;Ber- l muda asphalt , was, upon motion j of Aid.

The young men of the choir of this church have been indefatigable in their efforts to raise money for the organ fund, and they have given a number of entertainments during the present season for the pur-, pose. These concerts have all been extremely well-planned, and the , pro gramme presented last night was quite as varied and entertaining as that of any of the former occasions. The over ture by Prof. Wheaton. "La Grande Duchesse de Gerolstein," by : Offen bach, and the opening number of the second part of the programme, an or gan solo, also by Prof. Wheaton, were both much enjoyed. They were given in the best style of the master of th? instrument. Mrs. Alma Norton John son Porteous, who is j such . a favorite with St. Paul audiences, but who has not been heard for several months, sang two solos, "The Hindoo Love Song," by Bunbey, and "Whitney Coombs' "The Journey Is Long." A. P. Quesnel gave the recitation and aria from "The Triumph of David," and Miss C. Myrtle. Burnett sang Ro . toli's "Fiore Che La'ngue." .Two reci tations by Charles W. Schneider were much enjoyed, as was also Mr. Kerr's bass solo) "From the Depths." Miss Pace sang the "Aye Maria," by Mas cagni, to which Mrs. D. S. Colville played a piano and Prof. Wheaton an organ accompaniment. Miss Hope O. Payne, a pupil of Cesar Thomson, gave one violin solo, and also played an obligato to Miss Pace's "Aye Maria." Miss Payne is a promising young violin ist. Mrs. Nettie Fuller Snyder was on the programme for two numbers, but was prevented from appearing on ac count of illness. Mrs. D. F. Colville and Prof. W.

County Attorney Butler's View of the Arguments of ' Counsel. Thomas Ltyland was yesterday tried in Judge Kerr's court, on the charge of embezzling $125 from the Adams Express company. The case was tried before Judge Kerr because Judge Kelly was engaged hearing civil cases, in the absence, of Judge •Willis," and besides Judge Kelly's son was attorney for the defendant. The circumstances of the case, as claimed by the state, are as fol lows: Hyland had been employed in the office of the express company up to a year ago, when John P. Cook, of Beatrice, Neb., sent through the ex press company, addressed to his fa ther, who lived in Loomis, Wash., a package containing $125. The pack age came to St. Paul and passed through Hyland's hands, as all such packages did. Owing to some ques tion about the address, it being written "Loomiston," Hyland was instructed to hold the package for a time and await instructions. The instructions finally came to send it to Loomis. Hyland claims he did send it, turning it over to the North ern Pacific Express company, but the latter denies having received it, and also denies ever having used for such transactions block receipts, such as the one Hyland claimed he received. The receipts used were of the stub style, and there was no stub for any such receipt. The in dictment was returned last October, some months after Hyland had left the company's employ. . Mr. Cook testified for the state, re garding the sending of the money, and J. W. Owens, superintendent of the Adams Express company, testi fied that he y yy HAD SEEN THE PACKAGE. in the possession of the defendant, and had instructed him to write to Mr. Cook and get advice regarding the point of destination, the railroad. guide showing a place named Loomls, In Washington, but " no such place as Loomiston. W. W. Owens, who de livered the package to the defendant, and D. Doyle, who received the pack age from the express messenger and delivered- it to Owens, testified to these facts. .D. B. Newcombe, super intendent of the Northern Pacific Ex press company, and J. E. Barry and J. R. Collins, two other employes of the same company, testified that the package had never been - received by the Northern Pacific Express com pany. ' . The defendant went on the stand In his own behalf and testified that he had received a package purporting to be the one in question, but he did not remember what he did with it. He thought he sent it to the Northern Pacific express, but he knew he did not steal it, whatever became of it. Attorney R. A. Walsh, Dr. W. Fitz simmons and Judge Kelly testified to the defendant's previous good repu tation. ; The arguments of the counsel were, as County. Attorney Butler jocularly put it, "long, able, clear, convincing and unanswerable on both, sides." And the charge of the judge was, ac cording to the same authority, "im mihinently fair (see J. J. Parker.)" The case was given to the jury at 5:45 o'clock last evening, and up to 3 this ' morn no verdict j had been reached, which goes to show that the jury must' have looked on the argu ments in . the same light the county attorney did. Hyland and his wife and sister remained in the court room all night waiting for the verdict. Contract for Sidewalk-*-.

The Order of Railway Conductors is taking a stand in defense of the rail roads and in opposition to the passago by the legislature of any laws looking to the further reduction of rates. The following was adopted at a meeting of the local division of the order, held last night: '■■'■ y* -' "At a regular meeting of St. Paul Division No. 40. Order of Railway Con ductors, representing 300 members of the order. It was unanimously resolved to petition the members of the legislat ure, and especially the Ramsey county delegation, to use their influence in preventing any laws being enacted : that will in any way reduce the earn ings of the railroads In this state. . Should any reduction in rates, either" i passenger or freight, be made, it would mean a reduction of all salaries of railway employe**, and also a reduc tion in the force. We feel that the railway employes are now working for salaries much smaller than is jus tifiable, considering the hazardous and : responsible positions they are obliged ;to fill. We therefore ask your careful consideration of this matter, and trust you will use your influence in behalf of the' railway employe." STATE MAY COLLECT. Complaint Dismissed in Case of Minneapolis Again-*! Haogen. Judge Belden, of Minneapolis, yes terday dismissed the complaint of the intervener, the. city of Minneapolis, in the case of Haugen vs. W. J. I! ihn, assignee of the State bank of Minne apolis. The claim of the city was re sisted by J. W. Arctander for the as signee, and the interest of the state was represented by Assistant At torney General Edgerton. The city sought to have a lien adjudged in Its favor upon the assets in the State bank to the amount of $106,000 on the grounds that Haugen had no au thority to deposit such funds, the money being trust money. After a trial of one week Judge Belden dis missed the complaint for failure to establish a trust in its favor. This decision ; will have the effect of en abling the state to collect its claim of $75,000 in full, as it is a preferred creditor. To save your dollars, if you need an efficient Cough Remedy, buy Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant. It may cost you the dollar, but may also save you many more dollars, together with much dan ger and suffering, for you will then have the surest known remedy. TO CANCEL A BOND.
