BANK'S FINDS INVOLVED
VS A DECISION PILED BY THE SU
PREBIE COIIIT
Lltiuatiou Between the Merchants'
National and the Allemannia Over
a Note Which Had Been Partially
l'ald Jndgmeni of a Lower
Court Affirmed Other Decisions.
The litigation between the Alle
mannia and Merchants' banks, of this
Sity, was yesterday d< cided by the su-
Ereme court. Tiie- syllabus of the de
ision is as follows:
Merchants' Na ional Hank of St, Paul, ap
pellant, vs. A!!_riiariia Bank of St. Paul
tt al., respondents.
The borrower of money executed its de
mand note to the lender for the amount
and secured the _a_ce with collaterals. As
the collaterals came 'iue from time to time,
they wore redelivered to the borrower for
collection. It collected the same and paid
the amount collected to the- lender from
time to time as payments on the note, and
tho same were received as sui.-li payments
and miiiglid with the oilier funds of ihe
lender. When enough was thus collected
and paid to pay the note nearly in full, the
lender fraudulently sn'd and indorsed the
note to plaintiff as wholly unpad, and the
plaintiff received the same not knowing that
It was ever secured by collateral or that
euoh collateral had ever been paid. There
after each borrower being Insolvent, a re
ceiver of its property was appointed for the
benefit of its creditor.-. In an action
brought to have the amounts so received
declared a trus: on the funds in the hands
of the receiver,
Held, those amounts were received as pay
ments and are such, though not indorsed
on the note, r»nrt no such trust arises.

LOWER COI'RT WAS RIGHT.
Held That It Did Slot Ahn.se ItM Dis
cretion.
The last of the three decisions filed
yesterday by Justice Canty was on
technical points. The syllabus of the
decision is very brief, as follows:
Brooks Henderson, appellant, vs. Frederick
Lango ot al., defendants, Anna G. Litiln,
respondent.
Hold, the court below did not abuse Its
dl-ere.ion in granting, on the conditions
imposed, a motion to set aside a judgment
entered by default for want of an answer,
and for leave to answer. Order- affirmed.

RAILROAD LOSI.S THIS.
Damage Suit Over a Road Crotasins
Accident.
A railroad company loses a case by
the decision of the supreme court yes
terday in the suit of P_liza Finley vs.
The Milwaukee Railroad, the syllabus
of which is as follows:
Eliza Finley, respondent, vs. Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railway Company, ap
pellant.
In an action for damages for Injuries al
leged to have been caused by defendant's
negligence, resulting ln the collision at a
highway crossing of defendant's train with
the wagon in which plaintiff was riding.
Held, the evidence justified the jury In
finding that defendant was negligent in
falling to ring tho bell of Its locomotive
when Rpproaohing the crossing.
2. Plaintiff was riding with her husband
at his invitation, in his wagon, drawn by
his horses, which he was driving at the
time of the Injury. She had no control
over hint in the- management of the team;
ho was not her servant or agent, and they
were not engaged in a joint enterprise. It Is
conceded for the purposes of the case, that
he was negligent in failing to look and
listen before attempting to cross the railroad
track.
Held, his negligence Is not imputable to
her.
Held, further, It was a question for the
Jury whether she was guilty of contributory
negligence in failing herself to look and
llsU n. or to observe that her husband was
not using due care to look and listen, if
such was the fact.
3. Other rulings of the court disposed of.
Order affirmed. — Canty, J.
LOSS FALLS ON MTADDEN.
"fudge Loehren lii«-s a Decision In
Favor of George D.
Wheat.
In the suit of Geor.ere D. Wheat
against Patrick D. McFadden, Rosy
McFadden, Caroline Haack, John
Haack, Austin F. Kelly and others,
tried in the United States circuit court',
Judge Loehren filed a decision yester
day in favor of the plaintiff.
Wheat sued to have a certain prom
issory note for $3,000 and a mortgage
on a farm in Scott county declared to
be his property and asked for a decree
In foreclosure.
According to the findings - of tho
court, the plaintiff In 1886 loaned to
John Haack, through the defendant,
Austin F. Kelley, of the real estate
firm of A. F. and L. E. Kelley, the
Bum of $3,000, and took ln return the
note and mortgage referred to.
"Wheat sent the note back tc the
Kelleys asking their indorsement as
guarantees, which they gave. This
note was due in 1891. The interest
coupons were paid up to and Includ
ing January, 1888, but no other sum of
Interest or principal was ever paid. A.
F. Kelley, however, continued to re
port the interest coupons paid, and to
remit the interest as before. Kelley
had the mortgage foreclosed and con
veyed to him by sheriff's certificate,
for $3,285.20, which appeared to have
been paid to the sheriff, but was not,

whatever paid the sheriff by Kelley.
No redemption from the sale was ever
made.
After the expiration of the redemp
tion period, Kelley conveyed the land
to Patrick McFadden, who paid him
$2,000 in cash and gave him notes for
$1,8.0, which he afterwards paid ln
full. McFadden had no notice of any
Irregularity In the sal? to Kelley and
Wheat, the plaintiff, had no notice of
the foreclosure of the Haack mort
gage. On the contrary, when the
mortgage fell due, Kelley wrote to
Wheat that Haack wanted an exten
sion of two years, and Wheat grant
ed it.
Judge T_o-chren decides that Wheat 1_
the owner of the note and mortgage,
and orders a decree ln foreclosure. The
court expresses sympathy for McFad
den, who bought the land, but saya
that Wheat cannot be made to stand
the loss occasioned by fraud.
TO REFORM WAYWARD GIRLS.
Mother Provincial Says That In the
House of Good Shepherd's
Purpose.
When the trial of the case of Selina
Clewett against the House of the Good
Shepherd was resumed yesterday fore
noon in Judge Bunn's court, the room
was crowded as usual.
Immediately after court opened
Judge Bunn announced that he would
not require the defendants to produce
in court the record brok of the House
of the Good Shepherd. Mr. Butts, on
behalf of the plaintiff, excepted to the
ruling. The mother provincial then re
sumed the witness stand, and plain
tiff's counsel continued his examina
tion.
In substance, the mother provincial
testified that the House of the Good
Shepherd was a charitable institution,
a reformatory, not an academy. Its
purpose was the reformation of licen
tious women and wayward girls and
the protection of homeless children.
The women were employed in sewing
and laundry work. The members of
the sisterhood worked with the girls
In the laundry, and the s'stc-rs were
served with the same food as the girls.
On cross-examination the mother su
perior said that from time to time vari
ous people, including the judges of the
municipal court, the members of the
W. C. T. U. and many prominent citi
zens, visited the House of the Good
Shepherd. Grand juries and members
of the legislature had visited the In
stitution.
On the redirect by Mr. Butts, the
mother superior testified that, when
a girl who Is of age makes a nosltive
demand to be released, she was al
lowed to go.
"We often plead with the girls," con
tinued the witness, "when they re
quest to go out, knowing their charac
ters and the dangers besetting them
ln the world."
"When girls escaped, it made no Im
pression Qn you?"
"Not a great deal. These wayward
girls often escape from their own
homes."
This concluded the examination of
the mother superior. Mr. Butts then
recalled Selina Clewett, the plaintiff,
and finished the direct examination at
3:?,0 p. m. The remaining hour and a
half was devoted to the cross-examina
tion of Miss Clewett by Gen. Clapp.
TO BRING THE TURF KINGS.

Attract the National Circuit
Horses.
Plans are under conpideration for pro
viding a race meeting at the state fair
next fall which will bring together the
cracks of the American turf. The pur
pose is to offer a Jo, ooo purse for trot
ters, and also a $5,000 purse for pacers.
The plan contemplates one of the big

The poultry show haa begun.
The gallinaceous tribe yesterday
took possession of Market hall.
The exhibitors were busy all day
getting their birds in place, and a
force of carpenters worked nearly all
night planning quarters for the 2,000
or more birds which were entered
when the sun went down. The big
hall is trimmed with its red, white and
blue bunting hung about the walls,
and the chorus of cackles and crows
filled the air.
The officers of the association gave it
out last night that although all the
birds will be In their places this morn
ing, there will be no names placed on
the coops until the feathered Inmates
have been judged and scored. This is
a new feature and does away entirely
with any chances of partiality or fav
oritism. There are to be three judges,
but one of whom had reached the
place yesterday. He was George D.
Holden, of Owatonna, and he did not
lose a minute In declairng that the
show was a vast Improvement over
any yet given, and that a large num
ber of the classes were so well filled
that some excellent high scores were
bound to result. His fellow judges,
Sharpe Butterfield, who has just fin
ished his work at the New York show,
and Theodore Hughes, of Trenton, Mo.,
will be here this morning, when the
Judging will begin.
Their task will call for an Inspection

STRING TO EACH POSITION.
Capt. Cawtle Talks Ahont Civil Serv

Capt. Henry A. Castle, auditor of the post
ofllce department at Washington, arrived in
the city yesterdiy and registered at the Ryan.
The captain came ln from Washington direct,
and wil! spend ten days or two weeks in St.
Paul before returning to his post.
"I have not had a single appointment to
make since I have been ln office," said he to
a Globe reporter last night. "The bureau
Is regulated by the Cleveland civil service
laws, and as congress has not made any addi
tional appropriations for this department
since I took hold, there have been no places
for me to fill.
"The bureau Is larger than all other de
partments of the government put tcgethe-r.
The postal service has more people In It than
all the other branches of the government. In
cluding the army and navy, all put together.
This necessarily rea.uir.s a large force of
employes to audit, revise and compile the re
ports of the postofilces all over the United
States.
"In my department there are 487 employes,
all of whom, with the exception of fifty, are
under the civil service regulation. These
fifty excluded from its provisions are labor
ers.
"As long as the civil service ie ln vogue
the Democrats who are now ln office will con
tinue to hold their places, unless removed
for cause. When a clerk Is removed for cause,
his place is filled from the civil service list,
and a Democrat is Just as liable to get the
place as a Republican."
GIN IS ALL IN A FIZZ
AN UPRISING OF MOONSHINERS IS
THREATENED IN ARKANSAS
Five Illicit Distillers Arrested and
the Friends of the Prisoners
Threaten to Make Serious Trouble
for the Revenue Officers AVho
Planned the Raid.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 7.— An
uprising of moonshiners is threatened
in the mountain district of Cleburn
county, and the United States author
ities have been appealed to for assist
ance to protect the law abiding citi
zens of the locality.
The trouble is caused by a lawless
element, whose chief occupation is the
unlawful manufacture of whisky, and
was brought about by a raid made last
week by Deputy United States mar
shals.
Internal Revenue Collector H. L.
Rommel this aiternoon received the
following telegram from John T. Hicks,
prosecuting attorney at Searcy, Ark.:
Threatened uprising of forty men near
Hiram, Cleburn county, caused by recent
raids. Send force tonight sufficient to pro
tect citizens. Very Important.
Collector Remmel replied as follows:
Collector has no authority to employ any
one to assist you, but have wired the com
missioner cf internal revenue the situation.
If the sheriff cannot handle the case, wby
not cal! upon the governor?
Last week was an unlucky one for
Arkansas moonshiners, and the reve
nue officers did much good work. As
the result of two well planned and ex
ecuted raids, seven men were captur
ed and five Illicit distilleries destroyed.
Forty miles northwest of Searcy, in
the mountains of Cleburn county, Is a
postoffice known as Gin. Gin is lo
cated in a territory Infested by illicit
distillers, who have hitherto enjoyed
immunity from the interference of
revenue officers. But Raiding Deputy
J. T. Burros planned to throw a bomb
shell into their camp.
About ten days ago he disguised
himself as a rough mountaineer and
went into the vicinity to familiarize
himself with the situation. Return
ing to Little Rock, Mr. Burros per
fected the details of the raid, secured
his posse, and late last week left for
the scene. The posse consisted of
seven or eight brave men. They reach
ed the neighborhood of Gin about 4
o'clock Saturday morning and conceal
ed themselves near the stills. When
the moonshiners appeared the officers
pounced upon and captured them, giv
ing them no opportunity to escape.
Five men in all were arrested. Enough

BREACH HAS BEEN CLOSED
Tailors' Union to Continne Its AlHna
tion With the Trades
AHHemhly.
The tailors' union, after a three-hour
session last night, decided to remain
members of the trades assembly and
elected the following delegates to par
ticipate in its sessions: K. H. Beck
i jord, S. P. Rosenquist, J. A. Freis, M.
! Goudberg, Gus Lindberg, C. Pederson
and J. Zelmer.
This ends the threatened difficulty be
tween the local union and the assembly
as a result of the trouble with the na
tional union.
The meeting last evening was held
j behind closed doors, as all the meetings
of the union have been where the mat
ter of the recent differences have been
discussed.
The matter of the union's relations
with the trades assembly has been up
at a number of the meetings held since
the first of the year, but nothing defi
nite was decided until last night, when
the delegates were elected and an un
derstanding of the matter was reached.
The officers of the local organization
feel greatly relieved over the outcome
of the trouble, and believe that the ac
tion was for the best interest of all
concerned. For a time It was feared
that the union would become estranged
from the trades assembly.
The treasurer's report last night
showed that the union had to its credit
nearly $3,0G0. Six new members were
initiated.
A number of communications from
tailors' unions all over the country
were read congratulating the St. Paul
body upon their action in withdrawing
from the national organization.
A number of unions, it was said, ln
different sections of the country have
taken the same position as the St. Paul
union.
A mass meeting of taxpayers will be
held In Assembly hall tonight. The
meeting is called for the purpose of
entering a protest against the present
S3'stem of levying real and personal
taxes. All interested are Invited to
attend.
A number of delegates from the cigar
unions of the two cities met last nigiit
ln Assembly hall. At the meeting a
new editor of the Blue Label Advocate
was elected to fill the unexpired term
of Henry Feyden, resigned. H. Geisee
Jr. was selected for the place. The
publication wiil be continued as before.

TORONTO. Ont. Feb. 7.— "Kid" M. Part
lard, who was to have met George Kerwin, of
Chicago, in a twenty-round contest under
the Toronto Rowing club management to
right, couid not make the stipulated weight,
136 pounds, fit the ringside. Kerwin dee'ared
that he weighed 137. and agreed to meet the
kid at 137, but McPartland said he was over
that mark.
McPartland'. manager proposed that the
club put Denny Murray, of Buffalo, on in
Kerwln's place and the club consented. The
announcement of the falling through of the
Med'artland-Kerwln match, and the substitu
tion of Murray for Kerwin, caused a storm of
hisses*.
The bcu't ended unexpectedly, ln tho ninth
round, when a swing on the jaw floored Mur

BOOTY OF FIFTEEN THOUSAND.
Thieves Who Robbed Miss Nancy
Fix Made a Rich Haul.
BELAIRE, 0., Ftb. 7.— A startling state
ment was made tonight by Miss Nancy Fix,
who was tortured and robbed of a fortune
on Tuesday night last, and who Is In a dying
condition from the effects of her Injuries.
She recovered sufficiently tonight to describe
her assailants, four in number, two of whom
were mere boys.
She said that after binding and torturing
her the men compelled her to reveal the hid
ing place of her money, and that they secured
$15,000 ln cash from a jar where she kept
it. It was at first reported that $1,200 was
taken. The dying woman also said that the
robbers attempted to set fire to her cloth
ing, and, after securing the money, they left
her bound and nearly naked.
Before going they built three fires ln the
house, with the intention of burning it, and
then locked all the doors.
A brother of the woman has offered $100
for each of the robbers, and it is thought
the county commissioners will offer $400 more.

DETAILS OF THE CHANGE
NEW TIME SCHEDULES OF THE
TRAXSCOXTIXEXTAL ROADS
Besides Starting From St. Paul
Earlier Than at Present, They
Call for a Shortening lp in the
Running Time of Two Hour*
Soo to Put in a New Card.
The transcontinental lines, which
have been figuring for some time upon
changing the leaving time of their
coast trains, have practically conclud
ed the detail of the new plan, and, as
told in The Globe, the change will
go Into effect this coming Sunday.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific trains will leave at 1:30, instead
of 4:30 p. m., and will arrive at the
coast at 7 o'clock in the morning, in
stead of later in the day as at present.
In both cases the running time of the
big cross-country trains Is shortened
up between here and the coast. The
Great Northern will start three hours
earlier and will arrive at the coast at
7 o'clock instead of 10:30 a. m.
The Northern Pacific likewise will
start its train three hours earlier than
at present and will reach the cities
on the slope five hours earlier than the
present card, cutting off two hours in
the actual running time. The card, as
made up yesterday, shows that most
of this time is made on the 1,500-mile
run between here and Spokane. The
time for the present and new schedules
is as follows:
Present Ntw
Schedule. Schedule.
St. Paul 4:30 p. m. 1:30 p. m.
! Helena 7:SO a. m. 3:30 a.m.
j Spokane , 8:15 p. m. 3:.0 p. m.
: Taccma 11:10 a. m. 6:13 a. m.
Seattle 11:50 p. m. 7:<KJ a. m.
i Portland 5:00 p.m. 11:15 a. na.
There will be no change in the time
tof the eastbound train under the
i change contemplated.
The Soo road is also making ar
j rangements for a change In time for
: its cross-country train. This train now
j leaves St. Paul at 9:10 a. m. dally, and,
j owing to the change made by the
: other lines, which is effective next Sun
day, it has been decided to follow suit.
As soon as it can be ascertained just
what changes can be made in the con
nections with the Canadian Pacific, the
new schedule will be announced. The
probability is that the coast train will
start out during the afternoon, instead
of during the morning as at present.
ROAD IS A BONANZA.
What the Annual Report of the
I.uiuth, Missahe A Northern
Will Show.
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 7.— Tomorrow
the annual meeting of the Duluth, Mis
sabe & Northern railroad will be held
here. President E. T. Gates and Gen
eral Counsel George Welwood Murray
will be here, and probably John D.
Rockefeller Jr., whom Mr. Gates is In
itiating in business and corporation
methods. The meeting will be a formal
one, and no information will be given
out.
The statement required to be given
to the board of railroad commissioners
annually will be sent to St. Paul in a
day or two. It shows this road, not
withstanding the alleged fictitious val
uation placed on It, to be the bsst pay-
I ing road in America, and to have ad
ded greatly to the wealth of the rich
est man in America. The report is for
the year ending June 30, 1897. The
road has 138.67 miles, alleged to have
cost $7,976,446. or $57,521 a mile. Almost
any railroad contractor, it is said,
would duplicate it for $10,000 a mile,
except, possibly, the entrance to Du
luth. Its capital stock Is $2,512,500 and
funded debt $5,463,964. The earnings
for the year were $1,586,245, divided as
fellows: Passenger, $29,336; mail, $7,696;
freight, $1,544,560; miscellaneous, $4,652.
This gives gross earnings of $11,254.38 a
mile. The operating expenses were
$4,096.46 a mile, leaving $7,187.92 a mile
as net earnings. The net income was
$1,022,095. The interest on funded debt
was $286,000, and taxes $31,729, a total
of $317,729. This would seem to leave
$704,266 for the stockholders, but a fur
ther amount is deducted under the
head of "other deductions." This is
$587,785, and there is no explanation of
what It is. This leaves only $116,181 as
net income, but this is more than 4 per
cent on the stock. The gross earnings
for the year 1896 were even larger, be
ing $2,037,937. Rockefelle: 's profits from
these properties can only be guessed
at. H? Fold the lease of the Mountain
Iron mine for $600,000, and gets 25
cents a ton royalty, and 1,900.000 tons
have already been t::ken from it. Most
of the funded debt upon which the in
terest is paid is his also, so that the
interest charge is money he pays to
himself.

Mr. Schroeder stated yesterday that he was

in this territory, Instead of getting 20 cents
all rail and 18 cents across the lake from Chi

less than 4 cents a hundred.
This will work an inequality upon the peo

to meet the reduction.
He left for home last night.

Laborle's request to obtain a vi
tion of her alleged til-health.
M. Laborie vehemently prol
against the absence of the su!>i"
witnesses, and, referring- to the m
pearance of Gen. Mercier, said: "When.
he was minister of war It is charg
submitted to the judges of Dreyfus, be
hind the hack of the prisoner and his
counsel, a Becret document, if, as al
leged, the secret document did nm ex
ist, let Gen. Mercier come and tell the
court so and our side will be well sat
isfied."
This attempt t<> drag the former min
ister of war int.. the witness stand
caused much commotion In court.whlch
was Increased when, on several num
bers of the Dreyfus court-martial re
fusing to testify, Zola rose up in tho
dock and indignantly cried:
"We must know if th ns are
acting under the order of the minister
of war or of their own volition."
Gen. Boisdeffre was then called and
claimed exemption on the ground ol
professional secrecy, whereupon M*.
Laborie shouted: "One would really
think all these officers Imagined th*_y
form a separate cast.-, above all right-,
and that they are totally exempt from
the laws and the respect due to jus
tice."
The court them ordered a short ad
journment until 4:30 p. m., in order to
aMow M. Laborie to draft his argu
ment.
Charges Aa-alnst de Clam.
On the resumption of th" hearing,
M. Laborie made a speech demanding
that the witnesses be ord< red to at
tend nnd testify. Counsel for M. Zola
deposited with the court written ap
plications requesting the court to or
der the subpoenaed witnesses toappi ar.
Regarding Col. Paty de ('lain, th.- ap
plication charges him with Illegal acts
in the Dreyfus and Esterhazj affair,
and claims that if these acta are prov. I
in court the gcod faith of the accused
will be demonstrated. Therefore Col.
Paty de Clam should be compelled to
testify, or without prejudice to the
rliiht of the appellants, counsel would
demand the postponement of the trial
to later sessions If necessary.
Counsel is willing that Col. Paty de
Clam's evidence be given behind
doors if necessary.
There is another application calling
for thA appearance of Gen. Mercier
and Gen. Boisdeffre and others. It

absent themselves on the
their evidence is not necessary as that
is for the court and not for them to
decide.
The court p. stponed decision until
tomorrow, and the case was ad
jounred.
Rain prevented a large crowd from
assembling around the court, but iho
corrldiors of the court house were
packed with people warmly discussing
the trial.
On the conclusion of the pro

in the court room in full uniform,
emerged, accompanied by an orderly,
he was greeted with shouts of "Vive
l'Arme." and a number of people fol

dispersed them.
M. Zola conferred with his counsel,
