Harleigh Parkhurst, a member of the Mlnnekahda club, with npartments at the Hampshire Arms, was before judge Holt yesterday on the charge of maltreating a horse belonging to C. B. Dickens, the liveryman. It appears that the hor^e was recently hired for a cross country hunt, and when the animal was returned It was in a badly used-up condition, the result being that Mr. Parkhurst was ar rested for cruelty. He pleaded not guil ty., and the case will be heard tomorow. Indicted for Shipping Fish.

GLOBE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE, O 20 WASHINGTON AY. SOUTH. Main 2013 Advertising— Subscriptions— 2700-J—4. Late yesterday afternoon fire in the five-story brick building, 317-319 First ave nue north, occupied by McDonald Bros., dealers in crockery, glassware and kin dred goods, did about $5,000 damage. Of this amount about $500 damage was done to the building itself, while the balance of the loss will be upon the stock. The loss is protected by an insurance of $13, --500 placed on the building, which Is own ed by Eastern parties, represented by E. A. Merrill. The stock in this building and the adjoining building, also occupied by McDonald Bros., is insured for about $100,000. The basement of the building was stocked with original packages of shades, white crockery and crates of fresh straw. James Thornton, a packer, was in the basement yesterday afternoon with a lighted lantern. In Borne way Thornton stumbled and fell, breaking the lantern and setting fire to some loose straw, j which quickly communicated to the crates. Owing to the inflamable con tents of the basement the fire spread rap idly, and when the department arrived dense smoke was pouring up out of the basement. For a short time it looked as i though the fire would make its way to j the upper floors and the water tower was placed in position and connected with hose in preparation for a bad fight. The great quantity of water poured into the basement had the effect of drowning the fire, however, and within half an hour the fire was practically out, having failed to set above the first floor. TWO CLAIMANTS. There Are Rivals for the Kstate Left by Jennie Jones. A private detective by the name of Charles Brown, said to be working for a firm of Minneapolis attorneys, is expect ed to arrive in company with William C. Colvin, an East St. Louis teamster, who Is to file a claim as legal heir to the estate of Jennie Jones, who lived on I Main street, valued at some $35,000, of which JIS.OOO is in cash. Colvin claims that in Infancy he was adopted by a St. Louis family named i Cox, at the request of Judge Colvin, of j St. Louis. He ran away at the age of j nine, and is now married and has four j children. He bore the name of Clarke ! until three years ago, when he adopted ; the name of Colvin. He is said to have possession of letters written him fre- ' quently by Jennie Jones, who signed her- ■ self as Clarke and inclosed remittances, j Those who knew Jennie Jones say they j were never aware that she had a son. She has an adopted son, now fifteen years of age, whom she took-charge of when he was two years old, and it is said that while she is known to have made wills leaving her property to this adopted son none of them can be found. Afer her death a well known Minneapolitan was appointed administrator. He knows nothing of the existence of this Colvin, but states that if he has the letters claimed authenticity of the handwriting can be easily proved. The woman was forty-seven years old at the time of her death, and, according to Colvin, she would have been but seventeen at the time of his birth. While by no means im possible, this is regarded as improbable. XEW YORK AVAXTS MONEY. AVlllinsr to Pay Three Per Cent on Daily Bulnncen. Yesterday City Treasurer re ceived a letter from the United States Mortgage Trust Company of Xew York which has some of the city funds on de posit, saying that the company would pay 3 per cent interest on dally balances Some time ago the council passed a reso lution demanding 3 per cent Interest on city funds. The Minneapolis banks, or the majority of them, refused to pay interest The result has been that no interest has been paid on city funds deposited in the state. Treasurer Hulbert has found it necessary to carry some money in Chi cago and New York and has received in terest, on it varying from 1 to 1% per cent. But of late New York has been pinched for money and hence the voluntary in crease by the United States .Mortgage Trust company of the rate of interest on the city funds on deposit with it The Minneapolis banks are filled with money and they are refusing to pay in terest on deposits of all kinds. They don't need money and do not hesitate to tell their patrons so.. WARD «fc WATSON INDICTED. Grand Jury Kan Charged Them With Knibczzlement. Ward and Watson, the Napoleons of finance, who initiated the Minneapolis public into the mysteries cf "Arbitrage," have been indicted by the grand jury in the charge of embezzlement. In nearly every instance the sucker signed a paper which made him a special partner In the firm, and there was no recourse for him. In one case, however, this little formality was dispensed with and a man who put in something like J2.C00 for investment re ceived a receipt and signed no contract. Ward & Watson were to buy stocks for him but they did not, and hence are charged with embezzlement. The man who lost the money, by the way, is em ployed in a Minneapolis bank, and has garnisheed the bank deposit of $SOO or so which the "arbitrage" people neglected to withdraw when they left town. He seems to be likely to be the only man who will save anything from the wreck. AFTER FIFTY YEARS. Xathan Keith an<l Hl* Wife Are at Lust Reunited.

PAUL GLOBE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1899, ALLEN MADE SENATOR POPILIST IS CHOSEN TO FILL THE VACAXCY CAUSED BY DEATH OP MR. HAYWARD MR. BRYAN APPROVES IT Snyn Mr. Allen Wan the Most Logical Man for the Plnee—Hints at Fu ture Chances for Democratic As pirants—Mr. Hitchcock Thanks the Friends Who Stood by Him Throughout His Candidacy. OMAHA, Dec. 13.-Gov. Poynter has appointed ex-Senator Allen to fill the senatorial vacancy caused by the death of Hayward. Last night Gov. Poyntor wired ex-Sen ator Allen to come to Lincoln for a con ference. Allen came down from his home at Madison, and went immediately to ths capltol 1, and he and the governor were clcseted in the latter's private room for some time. "When the conference was over Gov. Poynter announced that he had decided to appoint the ex-senator to the place, and thai his commission would be made out as speedily as possible. The newly appointed senator announced his intention of proceeding to Washington at once and assume the duties of his office. It is announced that the appointment of Alien was made certain by the receipt of a telegram from W. J. Bryan by the governor, in which Br>an urged that good i faith and party expediency demanded Allen's appointment. In announcing the appointment of Allen the World-Herald publishes the following card from its proprietor: "To the many earnest friends who so I generously and enthusiastically support | ed me in my recent candidacy for the j senatorial appointment at the hands of the governor, I herewith tender my thanks. I cannot honestly deny that I have been deeply disappointed, and I feel j most keenly the sting of ingratitude, but i above all I have been deeply moved By ; the unexpected and almost unanimous j support or the people or Dou, is county ! and the generous indorsemen. of repre j Eentative men in all parts of Nebraska. —"Gilbert H. Hitchcock." INDORSED BY BRYAN. AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 13.-When asked by an Associated Pret-s correspondent as to what he thought of Mr. Allen's ap pointment as senator from Nebraska, Mr. Bryan replied: "1 think the appointment of Mr. Allen ought to give universal satisfaction. He made a good record in the senate, and last year had the unanimous support of the fusion members of the legislature. I think that in making this appointment the governor acted wisely. There are several Democrats in the state who would have filled the office acceptably, but the fact that Allen was last year the choice of all three parties makes him the logical man for the place. 1 have no doubt that a Democrat will be chosen next year to succeed Senator Thurston, and that wlli 1 give our state a Populist and a Democrat in the senate."' LINCOLN, Neb., Dec, 13.—Gov. Poyn ter tonight refused to confirm the report that William J. Bryan had dictated the appointment of Allen to the vacant sen atorship. The governor made his state ment in a guarded manner, but he said that he had heard from Mr. Bryan since the appointment and that Mr. Byran had expressed great satisfaction with the selection of Allen. Gov. Poynter tonight gave out a statement for publica tion, in which he says the appointment j was made in response to the wishes of a ! majority of the people of the state, which also are in accord with his own predilection in the matter. For Mr. Hitchcock, the governor eaid, he had the warmest of feeling. CHICAGO CHOSBX. Prohibition Rational Convention to I Be Held There on Jane 27.
