VOL. XVII.— PKICE TWO CENTS— { &?&s&.} KILLED BY COCAINE. Daughter of a Lumberman Meets Death Suddenly at a Hotel. DOCTORS TREATING HER With an Electric Needle for The Removal of Facial Blemishes. A SOLUTION OF COCAINE Used to Deaden the Pain— The Drug Apparently Too Strong. Chicago. Sept. 30. — Belle White, twenty-three years of age, daughter of Benjamin S. White, a wealthy lumber man, died at Wood's hotel this morning about 10 o'clock, while under treatment for the removal of facial blemishes. Death was caused, it is supposed, by the use of cocaine to deaden the pain from the application ot an electrical current, which constituted the means of treatment. The operator was Dr. Sophie Santa, of the Dr. Sophie Santa company. Eliza A. James, the business partner of Dr. Santa, was assisting iv the operation at the time. In one hand Dr. Santa held the electric needle and in the other a sponge saturated with a 4 per cent solution of cocaine, which she applied at intervals to deaden the in tense pain caused by the needle. She had almost completed the treatment when Miss White gasped for breath, and, before the operator could assist her, she slid from the chair to the Hour, dead. Aid was hastily summoned and restoratives applied, but without avail, the young woman having Died lino-, Instantly. Dr.Tallman.tiie only physician called, arrived too ia,e to be of any assistance, and as the people iv the room where the dead girl lay acted in rather a strange manner, he informed the police, and Dr. Santa, with her assistants, were locked up until the exact cause of the youug woman's death is known. There is no thought, however, that the death was the result of anything but an acci dent. Dr. Tallman described his visit as follows: "Wheu 1 reached the room 1 heard through the closed door a woman's voice repeating, "Is she dead.' I knocked several times. At last an elderly woman opened the door. When she saw me she banged the door shut again. I felt sure that something was wrong, and 1 forced my way in. i told the woman I was a physician, and, brushing her aside, found two men making vigorous efforts to revive a woman. As soon as I looked upon the woman 1 saw that she was dead. I said: 'You cannot do anything, that woman is dead.' The elderly woman who opened the door began lamenting and cried out: 'I only used a four per cent solution. That would not have killed her.' 'A four percent solutiou of what?' 1 asked. She replied: 'Cocaine.' She said the young -lady was sitting on a chair while she was at work remov ing the outer cuticle from her face. To deadeu the pain she kept brushing the face with the solution or cocaine. Seeing that my services were of no avail, I left the room. 1 had heard enough to war rant me in thinking that the interested people intended to hush up the affair if they could. 1 telephoned to the Harrison street station and advised the arrest of all the parties in the room as the only way of finding out the true story. "An amusing incident occurred when I left the room that had its serious as pect in snowing to what extremes of danger a woman is willing to go in order to beautify her face. Outside of the corridor was an old woman, well dressed. She stopped me and asked if there would be any danger to her in taking the treatment. She said she wanted to get rid of her wrinkles, and was ready to tiy the treatment. 1 told her of the fate of the young woman, and she replied that she knew the girl find died in the chair, but she believed herself strong enough to bear the pain without flinching, obviating the neces sity of cocaine." The father of Mis 3 White is a busi ness partner of Don J. Leathers, the well known capitalist of Grand Rapids, Mich. "UNCLE TOM" DEAD. Thomas M. Boggs Dies at an Ad vanced Age. Clayton, N. M., Sept. 30.— Thomas M. Boggs, better known as "Uncle Tom," one of the oldest known Amer ican residents of Mexico, is dead.

Fireman Day's Skull Fract ured—His Injury Will Prove Fatal. CARS REDUCED TO SPLINTERS And Yet Their Occupants Es cape Almost Without a Scratch, Toledo, 0., Sept. 30. -Train No. 12 on the Wabash road was wrecked this morning at Mauniee, a small town twelve miles south ot this city. The accident happened shortly before 7 o'clock, and was the result of a well laid plan to ditch the eutire train. Hap pily, albeit miraculously, the heavy Pullman sleeper kept on the track, and the mail aud baggage cars, although badly wrecked, did not contain any vic tims. F. N. Smith, engineer, Toledo, was killed. A. 11. Day, fireman. Tole do, was fatally injured. Slightly in jured: Charles Holland, mail clerk. Toledo, scalp wound; F. J. Provst, mail clerk, Toledo, slightly cut and bruised; J. W. Kreamer, mail clerk, Disko, Ind., badly scratched on legs and body. The wreck was planned, by whomsoever conceived it, to occur at the west end of a long siding just west of Maumee. The road at the lower part of the switch target had been removed, and the switch was partly thrown. The target indicated a clear track, and Engineer Smith was probably not aware of the situation many minutes before his motor was bumping aloug on the ties. As soon as the train struck the switch it leaped into the air. fell toward the ditch and turned completely over. The trucks of tbe mail cars Followed by the Engine, but the cars themselves went in an opposite direction. Under them were found the dead body of Engineer Smith and Fireman Day, the latter suffering from a fracture of the skull which will prove fatal. At the time of the accident the train was running at the regular speed, and it is considered a miracle that more lives were not lost. The postal cars were torn away from the trucks, and were lying sloe by side. Besides the slightly injured there were In the cars S. J. McCorkle, Kokoino, Ind.; E. S. Coffin and J. S. Dal ton, both of this city. The express and baggage cars were literally reduced to splinters, yet the occupants escaped unhurt. There were several passengers in the combin ation smoker, which was wrecked beyond repair, yet not a scratch could be shown by any of them. The passengers in the Pullmans were only made aware of the accident by the severe jolting which they experienced. Wrecking trains from Toledo and Fort Wayne were immedi ately sent to the scene, and the main track was cleared for travel by 7 o'clock this evening. The dead engineer and dying fireman were both new men on the line, and are believed to have come to the road from the Lehigh during the recent A. R. U. strike. BIG ATLANTIC GALE. Shipping Having a Rather Hard Time of It. Quarantine, Staten Island, Sept. 30. The prevailing easterly wind of the past few days caused an unusually high tide today. At 8 o'clock a. m. the wind hauled to the east northeast and con tinued to freshen and at 11 o'clock it blew a strong gale from the same di rection, with a very heavy sea and prospects ot a big storm. Incoming vessels reported a tremendously heavy sea running all along the coast. . Ves sels from the eastward have had the wind fair, but those arriving from the southward felt the full force of the storm. The steamer Comal, of the Mal lory line, was the only vessel to arrive this morning from the southward. Capt. Risk reports having experienced very heavy weather since leaving Galveston, a continuation of east or northeast gales with high head seas, which greatly retarded her progress, she being de layed more than twenty-four hours. She received no damage, however. A very high tide prevailed along the Stalen Island shore this morning, but so far as could be ascetained no serious damage was done to property along the shore. The steamer Grecian, of the Allen line, which cleared yesterday for Glasgow, went to an anchor in Gravesend bay to await an abatement ol gale. At 11:45 a. in. she got underway and proceeded on her voyage. All vessels coming from Southern and West Indians ports will undoubtedly "feel the full force of the gale and be delayed many hours. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 30.— The northeast storm which has been raging along the coast for several days is in creasing in fury tonight. Heavy gales are playing havoc with the telephone and telegraph wires and the surf is dangerously high, . The water is on a level with buildings In the inlet district and is breaking over the board walk all along the ocean front. The electric railroad on Brigautlue beach has bean washed out in several places on the lower end of the beach, and it is feared that the big steamboat wharf will go, as it is rapidly weakening. The rail road tracks over the meadows are sub merged and the late afternoon trains had great difficulty In crossing. Boston, Mass., Sept. 30.— The coast of Southern New England was visited by a fierce gale today, causing unusually high tides, but which, having been anticipated for several days, did only slight damage to shipping. . The hurri canes from the South have slowly crept northward, until today the storm center' was about 150 mile 3 south of Fire island light. The wind blew forty-four miles an hour off Block island this forenoon, and same rain fell, but the precipitation was slight. The harbor is filled with south-bound vessels. -'■_ Several Horses Humeri. New IhTt&swicK,'-. N. * J., Sept. SO.— Fire today destroyed the* storage war.%* house and stables of Runyon Bros., 220 Burnett street. Seven horses, among then a valuable trotter owned by P.

Woodstock, 111., Sept. 30. —At 3 o'clock this morning a freight li am bound for Chicago was wrecked on the Chicago & Northwestern railway at Graver's Crossing, about a mile west of this city. When the wrecking crew reached ihe spot Hie voice of a man was heard calling for help, His hand pro truded from beneath the debris. This wrecked car was loaded with green planks, and the lumber was removed as rapidly as possible, the result being the discovery of live dead bodies, one man badly injured and a boy seriously bruised and shaken up.

Calumet, Mich., Sept. 30.— Terrific wind storms prevailed here and on Lake Superior all last night and today. Al though no wrecks have been heard ot, it is quite probable that some boats have been destroyed. ARBITRATION THE THING. Cardinal Gibbons Talks Interest ingly on Labor. FboSTBCBG, Md., Sept. 30.— Cardinal Gibbons, in a sermon on the labor ques tion today, said in part: "Bofore the coining of Christ manual labor was held in degradation and rele gated to slaves as being unworthy of free men. Christ, our Savior, has dig nified and ennobled labor by word aud example. He was pleased to devote many years of His life to mechanical pursuits, and when He worked in the carpenter shop He shed a halo around the shop. If the profession of a general as ennobled by a" Washington, if the profession of a statesman as ennobled by ths example of a Webster and a Burke, if the profession of a jurist as ennobled by a Marshal and a Taney, if the volume of a prelate as ennobled by the example of a Carroll, then the call ing of a workingman is dignified by the example of a Christ. "Labor has its rights, chief among which is the privilege of organization without infringing upon employers. One of the most difficult questions in our times to discuss is the question of strikes. Strikes, as experience has de monstrated, are very questionable for the redress- of laborers' grievances. The statistics furnished show that the losses to employes by strikes for eight years amounted to "nearly 000,000, while the employers only lost one-half this amount. 1 earnestly hope that efficient remedy will be found to put an end to our recurring strikes, and arbitration seems to be that most potent method that can be conceived of."

Beckett, the organist, is dying, both from the administration of some violent poison in a lunch ot which both partook in the church. ..There is no clue to the perpetrator of the murder, as It is be lieved to be, nor is there as yet any explanation of the mystery. Beckett was iv the church to practice upon the organ for the Sabbath service, and, according to the fragmentary story told i by him, he and Cunningham partook of lunch, which the latter procured just' how or where is not as. yet known. ' George Thompson. colored, ex-sexton of the church, removed to make place for Cunningham, is under arrest, but the evidence to connect him with the affair is very slight.

The Leading Republican Pa per Claims the County for Him. THOSE PINE LAND FRAUDS. Republicans Quarrel in St Paul's Aristocratic Ward —Political Gossip. This week Gen. Becker commences his canvass of the state. lie starts out determined to see as many of the Demo cratic voters of Minnesota as possible before the day of election. He is con fident that with the full Democratic vote victory is certain, and to get that no effort will be soared. Everywhere he goes he will follow the advice Ot J. Adam Bede and "pump joy into the souls" of the faithful. The appoint ments to be filled by Gen. Becker this week follow: Monday Evening— Winona. Tuesday Evening— Wabasha. Wednesday AtUTiioon, 2 o'Clock— Zumbrota. Wednesday Even in? — Rochester. Thursday AfiernooQ. 2 o'clock — Dodire Centre. Thursday Evening — Austin. Friday evening, Albert Lea. At nearly all of these meetings Gen. Becker will be accompanied by one or more of his associates on the state ticket. Logan Brackenridge, the elo quent nominee for attorney general, will maice a tour of all the First district towns and cities with the general, and Hon. John Ludwlg, the candidate for lieutenant governor, and John Moonan, the First district congressional nom inee, are also expected to appear at some of these places with the standard bearer of the state Democracy. GOOD MKN AND TKUK. The Mankato Heview on the Offi cers of the State Committee. The Mankato Review is pleased with the officers selected to manage the pres ent Democratic state and in a late issue spoko-^as follows of the three chief officers of the committee: In selecting the permanent chairman of the committee it was voted to refer the matter lv the candidates, nud they unanimously decided in favor of Thomas J. McDermott, of St. Paul. He was for merly a citizen of Le Sueur county; married Miss Doran, of Jamestown, in this county, and is personally well and favorably known in that section ol the county. For years he was engaged in the mail service as a postal cierk, and was strongly recommended for superin tendent of the railway wail service for this division. For several years, how ever, he has been a practicing attorney at St. Paul, with the most encouraging buccess. 'Thomas J.Mullaue was chosen secre tary. He is a young man of eminent fitness for the position, and will make a good record. "Daniel Aberle Esq., of St. Paul, was made treasurer, and he will make an excellent one. Not only does he possess the confidence and esteem of Demo crats, but he Is exceedingly liberal, is well posted in the politics of the staie, and a tireless worker." For the benefit of those Democrats who are no: so well acquainted with luese-tcentlemeii as Mr. Wise, the able editor of the Review, it Is fair and proper to state that all three of these gentlemen are already hard at work in the good of the cause stirring up the Democrats of the state. The committee is made up of active and working Dem ocrats, and they are eoing to back up the chairman, secretary and treasurer in their efforts to get every Democrat to the polls with a straight Democratic ticket in his hand. In view ot the at tempts made by the Republicans to create the impression ibat the members of the Democratic state committee did not organize with entire harmony, the following bit of advice given by Mr. Wise should be read by every loyal Democrat and practiced: "The committee is now organized for work, the best of feeling prevails among its members and the candidates, and thai they will work together for the welfare of the party there is no reason to doubt. This being the case, we say to our Democratic readers to pay no atteution to reports of factional division of the btate central committee. It is broad enough to take in all Democrats and all sections of the state. l'a> no attention to reports of Democratic dis atfections in different counties of the state. There is no occasion for such division, and if a man is really and at heart a Democrat, this, of all years, is the one when he will uot be engaged in sowine the seeds of discord and dissension. With an admirable state ticket,- and excelleut county tickets, mill hatinjjiiy in the ranks, there ought to be 110 trouble to succeed." RENVILLE FOR REED. A Republican Paper Claims the ....'. .*. -County for Him. Tbe Renville Times, published at Olivia In 'that county, is a staunch Re publican paper, but the editor is an old comrade of Capt. A. 11. Reed, of Glen coe," and refuses to indorse the manner In which the Northlield man secured the majority of the delegates to the Chaska convention. Mr. Kelsey, in addition to the publication of Cant. Reed's address to the people of the distriot, declares in an article which may be found below that Capt. Reed is the choice of nine out of every ten Republican voters in Renville county. The article follows: ■ . ."Capt. A. 11. Reed, our old array com rade of the Second Minnesota, ignores caucuses and conventions and has de clared himself an Independent candi date for congress. The captain has Learned by Experience that he, unless a scheming political demagogue, has no show of a uotnina tiop. upder the present -System of caucus rule, where two or three Intriguing pol iticians In each town generally run the whole machinery Slid have things their own way. The corrupt methods were evidenced (it this county, where a set of Heatwole delegates was said to : have been elected at Heotor and admitted at C'haskn, while all know that nine out of -*^3aur_uu iUpublleau ;' iv Be*;*-* iUj' -,-... .- - *•-- - -^, ■ county are for ("apt.

"We predict that the captain will enliven tho canvass, and would not be surprised to see him carry off a plurality of the votes iv Renville county in No vember. Ho Is deserving of every vote in the district, and no man ever elected from this district will act more inde pendently, and represent Lis constitu ents more satisfactorily, than would Capt. Keed. The captain will take the stump and have some of the best speakers with hi in there is in the state." The above statement of the situation in Renville is interesting-, showing as it does wnat an injustice was done in seating the Heatwole delegation from that county. Query: If Caot. Reed secures a plurality in Renville county, how many votes will Hon. Joel FenH^as Heat wole, the mayor of North field, receive in the domain ruled over by Hon. Bar S. Hall? WASTED GOOD MATERIAL. Tho Republican Fight in the Seventh Ward Grow.-) Hot. The Seveuth ward has seldom been so torn up politically as it will be tomor row evening when the friends of Eli Warner and Willie Lightner will try conclusions. It is conceded by all hands that should nothing better result, it wilt make Lightner acquainted with the ward, for it is a matter of record that since this strife began he has abandoned his usual custom of requir ing to be twice introduced to a mau be fore lie knows him again. The fight is really Summit avenue against the rest of the ward, with Fred Bryant thrown into the Lightner scale as a paper weight, and the betting is 2 to 1 forWar ner, as the rank aud file has a hot poker in the fire for the autocrats of the Har ris Richardson stripe who affect to be ward dictators. Fred Bryant has really hurt more than helped the Lightner cause iv inducing ridicule, and a good story is told of him in connection with the famous coachmen's meeting in Gor don's barn. He wanted to furnish some beer, and wauted to buy as little as would answer the purpose, so tele phoned Paul Lavallee to know how much would be necessaiy. "Will a half keg answer?" he de manded. "Do you want to get 'em real drunk or just jolly 'em up?" asked Paul. "Drunk as boiled owls," was the re ply. -'Three kegs at least," was the ad vice. Fred got that many, but with many groans at the waste of good material. LUCAS AND REED. Republican Politicians In Minne sota and South Dakota Turn Down old Soldiers. Minnesota and South Dakota have at Washington several representatives who are very fond of prating about their devotion to the old soldiers, and yet in Minnesota this year there is but one Republican congressional candidate who served during the war. Col. A. R. Kiefer.of St. Paul, while two Democratic candidates "went through that great struggle aud came out with honorable records. • These two are Maj. Baldwin, of the Sixth district, a member of the famous iron brigade, a man who, though wounded iv the service, receives no pension, because he has never asked for it, and Gen. James H. Baker, of the Second district. Li South Dakota about the same showing was made by the Republicans. Capt. Lucas, au* old soldier, was defeated to carry out a political deal. The Pipestone Leader has the following to say regarding the cases of Lucas and Reed: We notice in many of our exchanges the manifest displeasure of the veterans of the war In the action of conventions in turning down many of their comrades for office. In South Dakota, Capt. Lucas, a member of congress, was defeated, aud for no other reason than to carry out certain political deals. In the Third congressional district of this •state Capt. Reed was a candidate for the ' nomination of congressman and when the convention met at Chaska, he declared him self an independent candidate, stating among his reasons for doing so: "1 am forced to take this action by the fraudulent and dishonest methods which have been employed against me at so-called Republican caucuses and conventions, where the honest ex- Dressed wishes of the people have been again and again thwarted and falsified." Gov. Nelson is severely criticised for his action in cutting off aid and support from the state fund by turning back many thousands, when every dollar is needed by deserving comrades, and other official acts affecting their inter ests. B3S RED LAKE FRAUDS. The Globe's Figures From the New Estimate Clin ched Matters. The Globe's exposure of the crooked work done by the first set of timber inspectors on the Red Lake reservation has caused a sensation all over Northern Minnesota. Many of the local papers in the region of the reservation have reprinted the article in full, particularly the News at Thief River Falls, a pros perous little town that will turn into a city in ten days after Senator Davis takes his foot oil' the Baldwin bill for the early opening of the reservation. Other newspapers have contented themselves with calling the attention of the people to the facts presented by the Globk a week ago. The Hutchinson Democrat says: A Big Steal Planned. "The St.PauIGLOBE has made an im portant exposure, which does not show Gov. Nelson in a favorable light. While in congress Nelson introduced a bili for the opening of all the Red Lake Indian reservation. The bill, appeared inno cent on its face, as all such bills do, but it was solely In the interest of the pine land ring, which has gobbled nearly all the valuable pine land in the state. At the late session of congress Baldwin in troduced a bill for the sale of 100,000 »cres at a time, but this was opposed and defeated in the senate by Senator Davis,' also in 'behalf of the pine land ring.' Congressman Baldwin also se cured a new set of appraisers for the pine lands on the reservation, because the old appraisers had been in partner ship with the pine land ring, with this result, that while the old appraisers had estimated the pine on a certain 4,000 acres at but 1,769,000 feet, the new ap praisers estimated the pine on the same tract at 5,089,000 feet, showing a clear steal (intended) of over one-half, or over 3.000,000 feet-".*'~'jßßgßjß&fiL--»~S8 Davis In Hearing From the People.

Sedai.ia, Mo., Sept. 30. —United States Senator George E. Vest arrived here today. Questioned upon the politi cal situation in New York he predicted the election of Ilill, whom he consid ered a most remarkable mau. Continu ing be said: •'I do not regard Hill as a great man or as the possessor of a great intellect, but he is a great worker without any appetites or passions. Hill voted against the tariff bill on account of the income tax, uot because he objected to its pro visions as to tariff duties on sugar or anything else. The income tax he irrevocably opposed for two rea sons: First, because he wanted to strengthen himself with the business men of New York, who had always been for Cleveland; second, because he did not want to drive from the Demo cratic party in New York the men who make liberal subscriptions for cam paigns. Hill is determined not to give up his hold in New York whatever happens, and he played the opposition to tile Income tax as his trump card. As to Tammany, which rules the party in New York, it is governed by "the sachems, who are either rich men or expecting to be rich. Of course, the Tammany leaders are against the income tax and Hill knows it. New York politics is a strange business and money is the principal factor. Morton will be bled until he will give no more and Hill will have all the money he needs. I think Hill will beat him." BULLS Altl* WAITING. They Feel Sure a Good Timo Is Soon Coming. Special to the Globe. . New Yokk, Sept. 30.— Wall street is still waiting for "the moving of the waters." With no special weariness or anxiety, however. The "bulls" are conservative and in no hurry to precip itate an improvement which they are confident must come no very distant date, and which they think may come iv better shape and with more intrinsic force if allowed to wait until conditions are more fully ripe for it. They there fore extend full length of rope to the " bears:" ifor one reason, because they have no objection to an opportun ity for increasing their holdings at a lower range of prices; and, for another, because an over-sold market may give them a chance for making a profitable turn at the expense or the enemy. Under all the conditions of the market, the best practical policy is to avoid "short" sales: to buy on sharp depres sions, and to be satisfied with moderate profits.
