The coroner hela an inquest yesterday to inquire into the cause of the death of Harry B. Davids, shot on Saturday night. Tbe facts elicited were substantially as published n the Globe on Sunday. Wm. Fairbairn, who clerks at the Johnson restaurant, on Fifth avenue south, between Washington avenue and Third street, ident ified the remains aud testified to all tbe oc currences of the tragedy in detail, the fol lowing being au epitome: Davids and Mrs. Patch bad been boarding at the restaurant for some time; I supposed theyjwyra anil wife; ou Saturday night tbey comcJin aud took seats at opposite sides of the table; tbe woman faced the door and Davids back was towards the door. Mr. Patch came in while they were eating; am certain be could not have seen the two before entering tbe restaurant owing to their po sition ; Patch bought a cigar; think be looked around and. smiled to the woman ; Daniels turned in bis seat and said, "How do you do?" Patc!b Teplied, "Don't you ever speak to vie, you'— — ;" f JJavids acted excited and said, "Don't say that to me;" "Take care," I think Davids repeated it twice or more; Patch then lighted his cigar and walked quietly from the restaurant; he bad probably been gone about oue minute when Davids suddenly jumped up, placed bis hand on his hip pocket, as though for a revolver: he darted across the restaurant and grab bed his hat; he then rushed from the restaurant with bis right band on his hip pocket; I thought he meant mis chief tind asked Mrs. Patch what the trouble was; she replied they were crazy; I then started out also; and saw the two men above Midway and Washington avenue; Patch was walking towards Washington avenue and Davids was following him; I think Davids took hold of Patch's coat; Patch turned around and pushed Davids back, at tbe same time crying out "keep back, don't come near me, I don't want to have anything to with you." Davids started towards him again and put bis hand quickly to his hip pocket; I thought he was trying to pull a re volver and I started on the ruu to catch bis arm, when Patch fired; I was in range and dodged to one side ; Patch fired twice, but when he fired the third time I held him by the wrist and threw his baud up so the fourth shot wont into the air; Davids meanwhile bad disappeared in the alley; I said to Patch, 4 '\Vhat does this mean* What is it all about'" and he re plied, "That woman who was eating, with bim is my wife; you don't know how I have been abused; I asked, "Do you in tend to ruu away?" be replied "No!" and I then induced him to go with me to the res taurant and to return bis revolver to his pocket; I then turned my attention to Davids; I found him lying ou the sidewalk in front of the Chinese laundry; Mrs. Patch was bathing his head. The dining room girl at the restaurant cor roborated the statements of Fairbairn re garding the episode in the restaurant. Detective Quintan testified that he had in terrogated the deceased in Drs. Ames & Moon's office, when Davids acknowledged that he was entirely to blame for the shoot ing. Drs. R. Hill and W. P. Spring, who con ducted the autopsy, testified respecting the post mortem appearances and the iujury,and gave itas their opinion that the deceased came to his death from internal hemorrhage. The bullet was exhibited aud it was found that it fitted the shells in the chamber of the revolver taken by Officer Bradley from Patch. This was the only material evidence ad duced, although there were several other wit nesses. The jury brought in a verdict that the de ceased came to his death from a gun-shot wound by the hand of Oliver L. Patch. A >'E\V ENTERPRISE. The Manufacture of Condensed Milk, In fant Food aud other Products of Milk, in Minnesota. Of the many enterprises we have had the pleasure of reporting in our column, there are few that strike us so favorably, in regard to general Importance and tbe prospect of being very profitable, as the undertaking noted above. A company is being formed with a capital of $150,000 to produce the above named staple articles in Minnesota, and since the primary conditions required are most ad vantageous, and consequently tbe the profits arising from such manufacture undoubtedly very considerable, we commend the perusal of apamphlct rcsently issued to the business community by Mr. Richard F. Schmidt, a gentleman who has sojourned with us in Minneapolis for several months and is an educated, practical expert in the manufactur ing of the abOVe articles, who after an exper ience of many years in this particular brauch of industry has beeu selected to manage the new enterprise, and his pamphlet explains all the points of manufacture, profits, etc.. succinctly, so that all interested may become thoroughly acquainted wtth the process and requirements. Schmidt is well known to many business men of the twin cities, a very agreeable gentleman thoroughly posted and always found ready at his rt sidence No. 938, Eighth avenue south. Minneapolis, to talk tacts and explain various features of the new enterprise. "Tlie M>rrij War."

Thecity attorney, it is currently reported, has conceived a new wrinkle which will make affairs "more binding," as the boys say. Just what the scheme is has not yet trauspired, but it is claimed to be quite original, if not novel. Chas. Ebert, the saloon keepers attorney, however, will exert himself to meet the exigency, and may succeed, although the "powers that be" are exceedingly confident of carrying their point as if by storm.

[Special Correspondence of the Globe. | Cuatfield, Minn., Aug. 11. — The readers of the Globe here are glad to see that there is a Southern Minnesota column in tbe daily issue. We feel that there ought to be an oc casional fact or item of interest for it from this point. This is one of the oldest settled towns in this part of the state, as well as among tbe quietest and wealthiest according to its population. We are not making any rush, but steadily improving our advantages which we believe as good as any other sec tion presents. Our froundry was burned down a week ago; but we have three flour mills, a woolen factory, and a creamery which uses tbe cream from 3,000 cows, makes a tou of butler a day for an average, aud sells, besides, from $7,000 to $8,000 worth of hogs a year; aud it has never sus pended business during the three?' yßfiri ; since its establishment, on acconnt of the season or any other cause. The year's shipments of cattle and hogs reaches $300,000, besides the cured meats, grain, etc. These figures are not startling from their magnitude, but this is only a small town on a branch of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, but it may furnish a unit by which to measure tbe aggregate business, and relative importance of this portion of Minnesota. Other towns about ue are doing the same thing. The counties of Fillmore Olm stead and Goodhue represent as much substantial prosperity, have as many natural advantages and as gsod a prospect for healthy future de velopment In the leading features of material wealth as any equal portion of the state. We are not dependent upon the wheat crop, and destined to co to ruin when it fails. We have gone through the experience of an exclusive wheat farming and are safely ou the other side; arc doiug a mixed farm ing, and under its advantages paying off mortgages and putting up better buildings and making general Improvements. We have sent from our town 1,200 fat sheep and lambs this spring to St. Paul, and there are still 3.500 left of the flock from wbicb they were selected. In general, every branch of industry that can be successfully prosecuted anywhere in the northwest must be successful here, if in teliigeutly and faithfully conducted. Hgkah. ROCHESTER. Hon.

Election Prospects in lowa. [Special correspondence of the Globe. l Emmetsbukg, lowa, Aug. 0. — I notice a special telegram from Judge W. C. James in Globe of Bth inst, which while hi 9 senti ment and predictions are correct, he is slightly off in figures. Let me correct the judge. Buren R. Sherman was elected gov ernor last fall instead of two years ago; we elect governors odd years. His majority over all was 1909, instead of 15,005, as stated, tha Greenbackers polling about 18,000. It is doubtful if tbe Prohibition people will poll 10,000, if indeed they are not frightened and bullied out of putting up an electoral ticket even by Republican "ring masters." Sbonld tbey, however, make up a ticket, they wonld cast from 5,000 to 10,000 votes, which would come almost entirely ont of Republi can ranks, bnt we can lick the Republicans without the help of the Prohibitionists — just wait and see. Now, a word about the fusion vote for elec tors. Every detail is settled. It only waits for ratification at the Greenback and Demo cratic state conventions, which are to meet the same day (Sept 3,) at the city of Daven port, la. The Democrats have performed their part of tbe contract by nominating Gen. Weaver for congress in tbe Sixth district, which act ensures his nomination by from 3.000 to 4,000 majority, providing always, that the Greenback party stand in line for the fusion, if not — c still have fame to '"bounce" the general and pot an unterrified Democrat in his place. The terms of the fnsion are something like this, each party put on one man for elector at large, then divide tbe bal ance,four Green backers and ssven Democrats. Tbe judge is correct in saying we shall have 10,000 German recruits from tbe Re publicans and it may double that number if we count in tbe whisky drinking Republicans. Then there are the druggists of the state, who number upwards of 40,000 and who hare al ways voted the Republican ticket, almost to a mau, their Btocka of goods are lying almost idle, because, by the terms of their infamous prohibition law, they are not allowed to ship in a drop of spirits, not even a sufficient quantities to make their tinctures or com pound their medicines to fill a doctor's pre scription, or even wine to sell for sacramen tal purposes. Is it natural to suppose that these druggists will vote again with the luna tics who have brought ruin on their business! They say not. Even the brewers, who have thrown up their hats and yelled with the Re publican dndes for twenty-eight years, arc coming to their senses now and are working with the Democrats as they never worked before; they begin to grasp the truth of tho old adage, "If you lie down with dogs you shall rise up with fleas." Wait a few mouths only and we'll show you a state redeemed from the misrule of cranks and crank preach ers. Very truly yours, David De Shields. WHY HE WITHDREW. Mark Twain As a Candidate Encount ers The Same Experience. That Governor Cleveland is Having-Hls Troubles With The Newspapers and Their Charges. '. * Concerning tbe recent dirty attack on the private character of Governor Cleveland, and the disreputable mode of warfare inaugurated against bim by the Republicans, nothing more severe can be said than is contained iv the following rich satire written by Mark Twain, the popular humorist. Mark relates how he was induced to run for Governor against Mr. John T. Smith on the regular ticket, and Mr. Blank J. Blank on an Inde pendent ticket. He was congratulating him self on having, as he thought, a much better reputation than either of bis opponents and had received a testimonial to that e3ect from his grandmother, when, as he was looking over the newspapers at the breakfast tabic, he was confounded by the following para graph : Perjury. — Perhaps, now that Mr. Mark Twain is before the people as a candidate for Governor, he will condescend to explain how he came to be convicted of perjury by thirty-four witnesses in Wakawak, Cochin China, in 1883, the intent of which perjury being to rob a poor native widow and her helpless family of a meagre plantain-patch, their only stay and sup port in their bereavement and desolation. Mr. Twain owes it to himself, as well as to the great people whose suftrage he asks to clear this mat ter up. Will he do it?" I thought I should have burst, continues Mark in his narative. Such a cruel, heartless charge. I never had seen Cochin China! I never had heard of Wakawak! I didn't know a plantain patch from a kangaroo ! I didn't know what to do. I was crazed and helpless. I let the day slip without doing anything at all. The next morning the same paper had this — nothing more: "Significant— Mr. Twain, it will he observed is suggestively silent about the Cochin China perjury." Man: — During the rest of the campaign this paper never referred to me in any other way than as the infamous perjurer Twain:" Later came another newspaper with the following: "The Lie Nailed!— By the sworn affidavits of Michael O' Flanagan, Esq.. of the Five Points, and Mr. Snub Rafferty and Mr. Catty Mulligan, of Water street, is it established that Mr. Mark Twain's vile statement that the la mented grandfather of our noble standard bearer Blank J. Blank, was hanged for highway rob bery, is a brutal and gratuitous lie, without a shadow of foil :idation in fact. It is dishearten ing to virtuous men to see such shameful means resorted to to achieve political success as the at tacking of the dead in their graves, and defiling their honest names with slander. When we think of the anguish this miserable falsehood must cause the innocent relatives and lawful vengeance upon the traJticer. But no ! let ub leave him to the agony of a lacerated conscience (though if passion should get the better of the public, and in the blind fury they should do the traducer bodily injury, it is but too obvious that no jury could convict and no court punish the perpetrators of the deed)." The ingenious closing sentence had the effect of moving me out of bed with des patch that night, and out at the back door also, while the "outraged and insulted pub lic" surged in the front way, breaking furni ture and windows in their righteous indigna tion as they came, and taking off such prop erty as they could carry as they went. And yet I can lay my hand upon the Book aud say that I never slandered Mr. Blank's grandfather. More, I had never even heard of him or mentioned him up to that day and date. [I will state, ln passing, that the journal above quoted from, always referred to me afterwards as "Twain, the Body Suatchcr."] The next newspaper article that attracted attention was the following: A Sweet Candidate.— Mr. Mark Twain, who was to make such a blighting speech at the mass meeting of the Independents last night, didn't come to time ! A telegram from his physician stated that he had been knocked down by a runaway team, and his leg broken in two places — sufferer lying- in great agony, and so forth, and so forth, and a lot more bosh of the same sort. And the Independauts tried hard to swal low the wretched subterfuge, and pretended that they did not know what was the real reasou of the absence of the abandoned creature whom they denominate their standard bearer. A cer tain man was seen to reel into Mr, Twain's hotel last night in a state of beastly intoxication. It is the imperative duty of the Independents to prove that this besotted brute was not Mr. Twain himself. We have them at last! This is a case that admits of no shirking. The voice of the people demands in thunder-tones, 'Who was that man?" It was incredible, absolutely incredible, for a moment, tiiat it was really my name that was coupled with this disgraceful sus picion. Three long years had passed over my head since I had tasted ale, beer, wine, or liquor of any kind. [It shows what effect the times were hav ing on me when I say that I saw^^self con fidently dubbed "Mr. Delirium Tremens Twain" in the next Issue of that journal without a pang — notwithstanding I knew hat with monotonous fidelity the paper would goon calling me so to the very end.] By this time anonymous letters were get ting to be an important part of my mail matter. This form was common — "How about that old woman you kiked off your premisers which was beging? Pol Pet And this — "There is things which you have done which is unbeknowens to anybody but me. Yout better trot out a few dols. to yours truly, or you'll hear thro' the papers from *• Handy Andt." Thi9 is about the idea. I could continue them until the reader was surfeited, if desir able. Shortly the principal Republican journal "eonvlcttd" me of wholesale bribery, and the leading Democrat paper "nailed" an ag gravated case of blackmailing to me. [In this I acquired two additional names: "Twain, the filthy Corruptioniet," and "Twain, tbe Loathesome Embracer.] By this this time there had grown such a clamor for "answers" to all the dreadful charges that were laid to me that the editors and leaders of my party 9aid It would be po litical ruin for me tn remain silent any longer. As if to make their appeal more impressive, the following appeared in one of the papers the very next day. "Behold the Max! — The Independent candidate still maintains silence. Because he dare not speak. Every accusation against him has been amply proved, and they have been endorsed and re-endorsed by his own elegant 9ilence till at this day he stands for ever convicted. Look upon your candidate, independents! Look upon tbe infamous, perjured the Montana thief! the body snatcher! Contemplate your incarnate de lirium tremens! your filthy eorruptionist ! yonr loathsome embracer! Gaze upon him — ponder him well — and then say If you can give your honest votes to a creature who has earned this dismal array of titles by his hid eous crimes, and dares not open his mouth in denial of any of them." There was no possible way of getting ont of it and so in deep humiliation I set about preparing to "answer" a mass of baseless charges and wicked falsehoods. Bnt I never finished tbe task, for the very next morning a paper came out with a new horror, a fresh malignity, and seriousiy charged me with burning a lunatic asylum with all its in mates, because it obstructed tbe view from my bouse. This threw me into aaort of panic. Then came tbe charge of poisoning my uncle to get his property, with an Im perative demand that the grave should be opened. This drove to the verge of distrac tion. On the top of this I was accused of employing toothless aud Incompetent old relatives to prepare the food for the found ling hospital when I was warden. I was wavering — wavering' And at last as a due aud fitting climax to the shameless persecu iou that party rancour had Inflicted upon me, nine little toddling children, of all shades of color and degrees of raggedness, were taught to rush on to the platform at a public meeting, and clasp me around the legs and call Pa! I gave it up. I hauled down my colors and surrendered. I was not equal to the re quirements of a gubernatorial campaign in the state of New York, and so I sent in my withdrawal from the candidacy, and in bit terness of spirit signed It, "Truly yours, once a decent man. but now Mark Twain, I.

Two places at our hearth are vacant, never to be refilled, while in 'God's Acre' are two newly made graves. Side by side they lie, brother and sister, our faithful, patient first-born, and our darling brown eyed daughter.
