A meeting of , the state enumerators. who hade taken the census of St. Paul was held at the senate chamber in the state capitol last night. Only 7 about a dozen cf.*the" enumerators were pres ent, and because of the small attend- ance the business which the meeting had been called to transact was de- ferred until next Saturday evening, when another attempt will be made to bring the St. Paul enumerators to- gether.

School Budget Is Passed— -Alder- Scliool Badget Is Passed— Alder- man Mni'iihy Gets After Comptroller 31cCardy» At last the business streets of the city of St. Paul are to be lighted after dark. Electric arc lights of 2,000 candle power. are to be substi tuted for the pale 'and sickly gas jets that only deepen the gloom that now hangs over the down-town streets. The brilliant metamorphosis in store for the city will transform the inky blackness of these thor oughfares into avenues of beaming light. Such will be the consequence of the action of the board of alder men last night, provided the assem bly concurs with it, and there is lit tle reason to doubt that it will. The board passed a resolution, in troduced by Aid. Brady, which in structs the St. Paul Gas Light com pany to place arc lights of 2,000 can dle power at every street crossing on the following streets: Fourth street, from Jackson street to Seven corners; Fifth and Sixth streets, from Jackson street to Sev enth street, and Wabasha and St. Peter streets, from Third street to College avenue. The resolution also instructs the gas company to discontinue all the gas lamps on those streets between the points named, and likewise such gas lamps on the intersecting streets as may be dispensed with. This will effect a great saving to the city, as 'A will dispense with sev eral hundred gas lamps. The elec tric lights are to be in operation from sunset to sunrise, and will cost the city $150 per lamp per year, whereas they now cost $127.75 per lamp per year, and are extinguished at midnight. S* The board also confirmed a con tract with the St. Paul Gas Light company for placing and maintain ing electric arc lights at all the in tersections of Seventh street from Seven corners to Brook street, and providing for a discontinuance of all the gas lamps between these points. The resolution authorizing this contract was introduced into the assembly by Mr. Arosin, and there in adopted. By the terms of the contract confirmed last night the city is to pay two-thirds of the ex pense of erecting or placing the arc lights at each crossing, which two thirds will amount to $10 per lamp, the gas company consenting to pay the remaining $5. The saving to the city on Seventh street alone will amount to at least $2,500 a year. The terms of this contract are also to govern the placing of the electric lights on Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Wa basha and St. Peter streets, and the work is to bo completed by Sept. 15. The board also adopted the resolu tion recommended by the board of public works which provides for an all-night service of the arc lights stationed in the parks, about the market house and in the masts, and directs the dincontinua.nce of ninety five gas lamps in the vicinity of these arc lights. This will effect an other saving of $2,300 a year. CITY DOG CATCHER. The city of St. Paul may some time have on its list of officials a dog catcher— not this summer. The mayor vetoed the only dog catcher ordinance that has succeeded in passing both bodies of the coun cil during the past three months. The chief grounds for the veto were stated in an accompanying message, in which his honor demonstrated that the ordinance was impractica ble. The mayor declared that in his opinion it would be impossible for a man to construct a dog pound as re quired, furnish food for and main tain the dogs for five days, and em ploy men and teams to gather in the dogs, and meet all this expense upon the basis of compensation specified in the ordinance, which was to allow the dog catcher 25 cents for every dog license fee collected by him and 25 cents for every dog he drowns. The language "25 cents for every license collected by him" would not necessarily insure the dog catcher any revenue from that source in case the owners of im pounded dogs chose to obtain the licenses at the city clerk's office. The mayor's objection in short was that the compensation provided was inadequate. Upon motion of Aid. Markham the vote by which the ordinance was passed was reconsidered. Then fol lowed a debate between Aid. Mark ham and Murphy as to the merits of the ordinance. Aid. Markham said he did not agree with the mayor that 25 sents for each dog license fee was inadequate compensation. Aid. Mur phy explained that the city attor ney had expressed the opinion that the dog catcher could not collect a cent for licenses issued at the city clerk's office. Aid. Murphy then moved that the veto stand sustained, and such was the decision of- the board by a vote of 7 to 1, Aid. Markham voting "no." THE SCHOOL BUDGET. The board concurred with the as sembly in passing without alteration the ordinance allowing the school budget for the school year 1893 and ISS'J. The whole amount asked for and allowed is ? 177,250. Aid. - Hare voted for the ordinance, but in giving his reasons therefor said that he did so under compulsion, as he was op posed to allowing the $8,650 for addi tional teachers. On motion of Aid. Brady preliminary orders were passed for the paving of the following small triangular por tions left by the paving of Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and St. Peter streets; Frank lin street, from West Sixth to West Seventh street; Exchange street, from West Fifth street to West Sev enth street; and Market street, from West Sixth street to St. Peter street. The contract between the* city and the Great Xorthern Railroad com pany whereby the latter agrees to pay one-third- of the cost of the Como av enue bridge, was finally approved.

AFTER M'CARDY. Aid. Murphy, who is determined to force Comptroller McCardy into a corner, and compel him to. explain why it is' there is no money in the' city treasury available to pay the po licemen and firemen the salaries due them, offered a resolution to the fol lowing effect: 3 That the city comptroller be re- quested to report forthwith to the com-: mon council the amount of moneys re ceived by the city from the county treasurer since the first day of January, 1895, and that he specify in detail the amount received on account of the taxes of 1894, and the various funds to which said amounts have been icredited, and also 'report the amount received on account of taxes for the year prior to the year 1894, and also that he state the various funds -to which the amounts so received have been credited. y..AA y- .-.■'. The resolution was unanimously; adopted. - ' 1 The committee on license recom- mended the passage of an ordinance- abolishing the license system under which expressmen and draymen at present conduct their business and substituting therefor a system of reg- istration. Under the license system drivers of one-horse carts pay a fee of $5 a year, while the fee for two horses is $10 and four or mere horses $25. The registration plan simply requires the draymen and expressmen to register their names and the numbers of their -vehicles once a year in the office of the city clerk. The fee for the reg- istration is $1. The driver must regis ter his name and the number of his vehicle when he first procures his per- mit or right to engage in the business of hauling goods, wares and mer chandise. Afterwards he is required to register on Jan. 1 of each year. The permits are not transferable. The ordinance requires the driver to at tach his name and the number of his vehicle to the wagon, and also to wear a badge bearing the number, and indicating the nature of his business, whether drayman or expressman. Otherwise it is similar to the present ordinance regulating expressmen and draymen in the matter of police super vision. Under suspension of the rules, the ordinance was passed. GRANITE, BLOCKS. The committee on Ctreets recom mended the passage of the final order for paving with granite blocks the in tersections of the streets at Seven Corners. The committee originally op posed the order as it provides that the cost of this paving shall be* paid out of the general fund, but after a con ference with the city engineer, the com mittee was satisfied that the present cedar blocks covering these intersect ing spaces ought to be torn up and a granite pavement substituted in order to raise these portions of the streets to a level with the asphalt pavements on Seventh, Fourth and Third streets. The city engineer estimates the cost of paving the intersections at $1,300. The board passed the final order. The ordinance authorizing the cor poration attorney to employ help in making a compilation of general or dinances since 1884, was referred to the committee on ordinances and public accounts. The resolution permitting the North western Telephone company to erect new poles on -the west side of Dale street from Summit avenue to Uni versity avenue, was adopted upon rec ommendation of the committee on streets. Assemblyman* Johnson's scavenger ordinance was referred to the commit tee on license. BITS OP POLICE NEWS. Turned Out hy the Effervescent "" Glohe Sjiffiot. The case of Fritz Mahler, charged! with selling liquor to a minor, was again before the police court yester day. The small boy to whom, it is al leged, the beer was sold, declared that his attitude, on the question of strong drink was identical with that of Lady Henry Somerset. His father enter tained different views, and it was his father's beer, and not his own, that he had conveyed forth from the saloon, contrary to his natural inclinations and better judgment. Moreover, he had been provided with a written re quest for the hateful stuff, signed by papa. Judge Twohy is not convinced that the beer of the father should be visited upon the children even to the first generation: He therefore took the case under advisement. Nellie Thompson wore a black hat a la Gainsborough, a Trilby heart upon her gentle besom, and a very sleepy look, when she smiled at Bailiff Mc- Mahon yesterday morning. Nellie is a genuine Tom boy. She is only twenty two now, but she has already learned to smoke cigarettes and drink beer as •well as anybody's big brother. Ser geant Ross stated that Nellie runs about wine houses on Seventh street when she ought to be in bed, and that she is likely to grow up a real wicked girl. His honor, therefore, borrowed all the money Nellie had— $20— to keep her out of mischief, and ad vised her to be more attentive to her Sunday-school lessons. ■ John Scott will spend two months at Como. During the first thirty days he will reflect upon the folly of being dis orderly when he was already drunk. During the next month he will shed tears for having committed an error in logic. John went down into the Omaha yards Monday night and asked the brakeman on a passenger train to pass him to Chicago under the guise of a wheel twisting understudy. When the braiteman failed to grasp th? sug gestion John accented his arguments with a rock. The monolithic hint fail ing to penetrate the brakeman's skull, the latter called upon Special Officer Doody, who continued the argument with such success that John was com pletely floored. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN IT. Report of a Strike on the Great Northern at St. Cloud. . A delegation of employes of the Great Norths road, who are also members of the A. R. U., called at the Globe office last evening and posi tively denied the story telegraphed from St. Cloud about a threatened strike of the employes of the Great Northern there. They said there was absolutely no truth in the report nor was there the slightest foundation for it. It is the opinion of the employes and the members of the union thai th rumor was started by some of those who are bent on injuring President Hill in his Northern Pacific reorganisa tion schemes. * WHITE BEAR BENEFIT.

Lowe, charged with mur der in the third degree for the death of Clara Bergh, for whom he failed to provide proper medical attend ance and nursing while she was sick and under his control in a room at the Globe hotel, came up again be fore Judge Egan yesterday on a new writ, but Lowe failed to gain his liberty, though his attorney succeed ed in getting the court to doubting as to what should be done in the case. Judge Egan took the matter under consideration, and promised to give his decision tomorrow morning The contention of Judge Card Lowe's attorney, was that the com plaint under which his client is held is defective. The complaint charges Lowe with having entered into a con tract to care for the girl during her ap proaching (Uln-sss— this was Lowe's own explanation of how he came to be in the room with her— then felon eously and willfully failing to pro vide for her, until she died. Judge Card maintained that the allegations of the complaint did not constitute any offense whatever, and certainly not murder in the third degree. The complaint could not be construed to charge manslaughter. Judge Egan asked County Attorney Butler for his definition of murder in the third degree and the latter said it was, according to the statute, a killing wherein the act endangers the lives of others. The court said that there being no others whose lives were endangered by the act, he doubted if it could be held to be murder in the third degree. But the county attorney held firmly to the opposite view and insisted that *if it was not murder in the third degree it was manslaughter, and that a man might be held for murder who was only guilty of manslaughter, the great er offense including the lesser. A \\\ The court thought that according to the allegations of fact set up in the complaint the defendant should have been charged with murder in the first or second degree. If he was not guilty of that he was guilty of nothing. He shut the woman in a room and starved her to death. "Suppose he did not mean to starve her to death?" suggested Attorney But ler. "The intent is governed by the acts," replied Judge Egan. "I won't dis charge this man, but it strikes me that the complaint is peculiar." The court then thought that further argument might be advisable, inas much as the county attorney offered to submit any number of . authorities, but the court was too general in his reply and Mr. Butler began to feel a trifle sore. After some further dis cussion as to the futility of his at tempting to submit authorities unless he knew on what particular points the court desired information, the county attorney remarked: "Well, it seems as if the court is never disposed to agree with mc in any proposition I advance." "Oh, that is uncalled for.Mr. County Attorney," replied Judge Egan with some show of feeling. "Well, I simply express the feeling that comes to me from what has ta ken place in this case," said Mr. But ler calmly. "Oh, I understand you gentlemen," said Judge Egan soothingly. "Every lawyer thinks he is infallible and un fortunately the court usually thinks he is infallible and the result is not al ways satisfactory to all concerned. But there is no occasion for gentle men getting hostile." "Logic is always hostile," replied Butler coolly. "No, I disagree with you, Mr. County Attorney; logic is not hostile," said the court reflectively. "It is hostile to fallacy," retorted the county attorney with a satanic grin. "That's true," replied the court. "Why didn't you say that in the first place?" he asked as his spirit of humor began to assert itself. "Gentlemen, I will givo a decision in this case Thurs day morning without any further ar gument," he continued, and so the matter stands. DOCTORS VS. LAWYERS. Will-Play Hall and Give Patients aad Clients si Chance. Those needing legal advice or medi cal treatment should enter into con tracts for these little luxuries at once, because there will shortly be a great scarcity of talent in both these pro fessions in St. Paul— doctors have challenged the lawyers to play a game of base ball. The date of the game has not yet been set, but it will be just as soon as the necessary arrangements for ambulances, spiritual advisers and hearses can be completed. Judge Egan is to umpire the game, and .as he will not be allowed to wear -any! mask or carry a gun, those desiring to succeed him on the bench should lose no time in getting their wires in order. Another suggestion that may be of importance to the public is that it has been hinted that the under takers are circulating a petition 'for an advance in rates in view of the ap proaching boom in business, so tho<-q with one leg in the grave might save money by taking note of the fact.-}. I BROAD ACRES IN QUESTION*- | Bat It Is insisted That the City Engineer?* Survey Is Correct;! j A conference between the city engin-* eer and the board of public works "ves-l terday developed the fact that there is a discrepancy of about six acres between the city engineer's survey of the land to be taken for Phalen park and the government survey, the latter showmg the larger acreage. Mr Rundlett explained that the difference was due to the fact that the govern ment lines were run with a compass and '*: work done with no particular care, whereas the engineer's depart ment used a transit instrument in de termining the lines, and this insured absolute accuracy.

He complained of feeling ill. His wounds, however, are well nigh healed, and, in spite of rumors to the contrary, the physicians at the hos -1: pital do not believe that Bohanan's condition is at all serious. ALDERMANIC -WISDOM. Directed to the . Smoke and Bi- - cycle Ordinances. The aldermanic committee on streets disposed of several matters yesterday afternoon, some of which were acted upon in the evening by the board of aldermen, an account of whose pro ceedings appears in this issue. Assemblyman Parker's smoke "ordi- nance, which the assembly passed some months ago, was for the third time laid over, but not indefinitely, as the committee accepted the invitation of the engineer of the Albion apart ment building to inspect the smoke consumer in operation there. The" de vice is said to be very effective, simple and economical. The committee will examine it upon the day named for the next meeting, and will then take action on the ordinance. Assemblyman Arosin's bicycle or dinance was laid over, and so was the assembly ordinance making it a mis demeanor for citizens to walk along the Omaha tracks between the East city limits and the Westminster street bridge. BOARD OF ARBITRATION. BOARD OF ARBITRATION. Minneapolis Submits Five Names to Gov. Clou-sh. At a meeting of the Trades Council. of Minneapolis last week the names of five men were, submitted to the gov ernor, as candidates for appointment on the state board of arbitration. The delegates named were D. Morrisey, J. E. E. Johnson, E. H. Blackhurst, Matt Nott and F. W. Schmidt. It is expected that the governor will make his appointments in a few days, but at most Minneapolis can only expect to get two of the members, as the law provides that only two of the three members shall be appointed by the governor, and that the third member shall be named by these two. If the intent of the law is carried out in all particulars, there will be members appointed at various places through out the state, so that when little diffi culties occur in places remote from the cities a representative of the state board can be reached without the expense of giving the entire board a long journey. DIES OF HIS INJURIES. Young* Auf*,e, Who Fell Froni a Milwaukee Freiffht Car. August Auge, the young man who was injured while climbing on a freight car in the Milwaukee yards early Mon day morning, died of his injuries at the city hospital at 6 a. m. yesterday. An autopsy held in the afternoon by Dr. Rothrock developed that the cause of death was not the severe wounds about the head, but an obscure injury to the spine. Auge had evidently struck upon his back on a tie, rail or rock. The resulting hemorrhage about the spine had pressed against the spi nal cord and gradually extinguished life. The remains will be sent back to Mendota and there buried. ; .;7 HEARD THE ARGUMENT. Discharged the Order for Same, Continued as to Others. Judge Sanborn, of the United States circuit court of appeals,- yesterday heard argument on an order to show cause why the receiver of the Brown Bros. Grain company should not be allowed to rent certain elevators owned by the company along- the line of the Kansas City & Omaha railway. Judge Duffy, of Nebraska, appeared for cer tain creditors in opposition to the or der, and the receiver was not represent ed at all nor did he himself put in an appearance. Judge Sanborn dis charged the order to show cause as far as it applied to some five or six elevators in question, but the order stands as to others. CATCHING AN ELEPHANT. An Old Circus Man Gets Remin iscent. The old circus man was in a remin iscent mood, and when he began to talk about the "good old wagon show days" an interested crowd gathered around to listen: "So the Ringling Brothers are going to show here next Tuesday,'.' he said musingly. "Well, well, how things do change. I can remember when Ring ling Brothers' circus was a little over land affair, and the entire outfit v/as not worth $500. Nowadays I expect their daily expenses are ten times that, and they own and operate four long railroad trains. It only shows what push and gcod business management can do. I "The way Ringling Brothers got I their first elephant was funny. One j day while they were showing in a lit | tle town in southwest Missouri, a tele j gram was handed to Al Ringling j "It was from the mayor of a neigh i boring town, and it informed the man i agers that they could have an elephant j if they would send after it immedi- I dlately. An offer like that doesn't i come to a circus man every day, and j they jumped at it. A couple of the , brothers went over to get the elephant. "They found the big brute at large, j running amuck, and the whole town | In a panic. A small show had strand- ed in the town several weeks before, | and the authorities had seized the ele j phant for tlie license. "For a while the elephant behaved pretty we!!. Then it -got a tantrum. It broke out of the shed where it was ! kept, nearly killed a hostler and ran | trumpeting up and down the main S street, breaking windows, demolish ■ ing awnings and scaring children into ; fits. I "Business was practically suspend j ed, women were afraid to go shopping , and the schools were in a state of de ! moral ization. In his desperation the ! mayor wired to the Rinpling Brothers. j "'lf you can catch that elephant you j can have it,' he said. j "Ar.d you can bet they caught it. I That was an easy job for a circus p man." - Like the widow's bottle of oil their . elephant contingent has grown until a i great herd of these ponderous beasts . are among their zoologic possessions. I There are the rarest animals from . all the climes of the globe, including . some far more interesting in some re : spects than any ever seen here. i The show in its every department is . rfe-nlete with novelty and excellence, as . will be manifest to the thousands who ; visit it. - . ■■ -v.* -*~--s* : i-i*-* V. _L Smith Wants to He Guardian.

WAS A DEADLY POISON AND ITS RESULT "WAS FA {'7 * / ■ TAL. ITS Cor-iTENT§ SWALLOWED. SUDDEN AND SAD DEATH OF THE AGED ALONZO J. COR- NELL. AN OUNCE OF CARBOLIC ACID Swallowed hy Mistake, and After a Few Moments of Dreadful Agony He Was Dead "My God, what was .that?" de manded Alonzo J. Cornell, an old man on the West side yesterday morning, as he threw a flask upon the floor. The flask contained an ounce of carbolic acid. In twenty minutes Cornell was dead. He was fifty-seven years of age, a laboring man, and a well-known member of the G. A. R. "With his wife and nine children he resided at 208 Rob ertson street. Yesterday morning he arose very early, and was feeling in the best of spirits. He remarked to his wife that he would go to a neighboring saloon and get a drink. A moment later he caught sight of a half-pint flask on top of a tall cupboard. Evi dently thinking that he had found some liquor, he reached up, grasped the flask, and swallowed its con tents. As soon as he learned his appalling mistake he hurried to the faucet and drank glass after glass of water. His wife brought vinegar, and he swallowed that. But his agony was becoming unbearable. Groaning heavily, he sank into a chair. The white blisters forming about his lips and chin, wherever the corroding acid had touched the skin, told too well what destruction was taking place among the delicate internal membranes. His groans at last ceased, but his face grew paler. It was covered with a cold sweat. His breathing became faster and faster. He placed his hands to his fore head, and his chin sank upon his heaving chest. "Oh, the needles in my head!" he cried, wearily. Soon his hands slipped down upon his lap, and the torture was at an end. It had been impossible to secure the presence of a physician in time. Cornell was born in Geneva, N. Y. He enlisted first in the Twenty-fourth infantry and again in the Fifteenth cavalry of New York. He had been married thirty-two years. Recently he had been employed as a farm hand in the harvest fields, and was on the point of leaving again for the country yesterday morning. No in- quest will be held, Coroner Whit comb deciding that .Cornell's death was manifestly the result of an acci- dent. The deceased will be buried under the auspices of the G. A. R. SISTER SAILED IN AHEAD, And Won the "White Rear Junior Yacht Cluh Race. The White Bear Junior Yacht club sailed its regular weekly regatta * yes terday afternoon. The Sister, sailed by J. W. Johnson, won first honor, with Dean's Aurelia in second place.- A fine full-sail breeze from the north- west blew with nearly uniform veloc ity throughout the race. Shortly after 3 o'clock the boats crossed the line in the following order: Britannia, Co- quina, Mayflower, Daisy, Galatea, Au- relia, Sister. It was just the wind for the Sister, and, starting last, she fin- ished first, being well sailed through- out. Britannia, however, held the lead past center, to Wildwood, giv -1 ing place to Mayflower and Aurelia only when center buoy was reached again on the return from the south end ;of the lake. Charles Stickney en- tered the Coquina, and although the breeze was not quite strong enough for the trim little yawl rig, she sailed a pretty race. Mayflower sailed her first race with the new club yesterday. She was formerly called the Elsa. The following is a list of the boats entered and their sailors, in the order of their finish: Sister, J. W. Johnson; Aurelia, S. B. Dean; Coquina, C. A. Stickney; Britannia, F. W. Pinska; Galatea, Olin H. Espy; Daisy, Edward M. VanDuzee Jr. Next race will oc cur next Tuesday afternoon, starting at 2:45 sharp. INDIANA WARDENS. They Visit Stillwater and Ex- press Praise of the Prison.

GOOD CITIZEN GONE. A Worthy and Respected Man, a Revered Knight of Pythias. In the death of Adolph Henschel not only his family but the Knights of Py thias of St. Paul have suffered a grievous loss. Mr. Henschel has re sided in St. Paul since the city was a mere hamlet, and has always borne a high reputation as a neighbor, a bus iness man and a public-spirited citi zen. He . had built up a profitable business as" a confectioner through attention to his business and square dealing. Up to a very short time ago he was able to attend to his -store as usual, but a complication of diseases wore his strength down until he could resist no longer, and he succumbed to the inevitable early' Monday morning. Mr. Henschel was a native of Ger many, born in 1537, ana came to St. Paul in the early sixties. He was a pioneer Pythian, one of the oldest members of the order in St. Paul, and a charter member of Champion lodge. His funeral will be in charge of the Knights of Pythias, and will occur Thursday at 2 o'clock p. m. The body will be taken to Pythian hall, 63 East Fifth street, where the service of the order will be held at the hour stated. thehoU-;sta!!^ CARPENTERS? UNION MEETS. CARPENTERS*- UNION MEETS. Elects New Members— Garment Workers'- Entertainment. The carpenters' union held, a well attended meeting at Assembly hall last night.' Three new members were taken in and J. L. Hughes was chosen as marshal for the Labor day parade. The union passed a resolution impos ing a line of 25 cents on any member caught wearing overalls not bearing the label of the garment workers' union. This is a movement in the in terest of the factory girls, who have recently organized a union and are making an effort to induce the differ ent factories to employ only union girls and thus entitle them to the use of the label on their goods. Speaking of the garment workers' union,' it may be stated that the girls have decided to give an entertainment at Assembly hall Thursday evening, Aug. 29. Among other features of the entertainment short addresses are to be made by W. W. Erwin and J. J. Ryder. THE DRIVERS LEG BROKEN. A" Runaway on Concord Street With Serious suits. ■ 7 Paul Fischer, a young man - who drives a wood wagon for,. Wolff i & Lehmann, of 472 South Robert street. had his left leg broken [ yesterday. morning through his team 'running; away. The horses took fright on Con cord street near Robert. They ':■ ran. but a short distance when the? cord wood began to slide off. :; With tho wood came the driver, but the wood; was on top. The latter was soon ' un- *' covered and attended by Dr. Beals. It was found that Fischer's leg was -' broken in two places below the knee, l and that he had received a -severe: laceration cf the right upper arm. He was removed 'to his residence on the corner of South Robert; and? Con- I greEo streets. _"■* $A :y- " y'A SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO -7?, Was Laid tlie Corner Stone of Fort St. Anthony. Now Fort Snellin***. ,;" A prominent and patriotic attorney of Minneapolis has addressed the fol lowing communication to the 'mayor's of St. Paul and Minneapolis. His sug gestions are well worthy of considera tion: Minneapolis, Aug. 20, 1895.— T0 the Mayers of Minneapolis and St. Paul- Gentlemen: The records show that the corner stone of Fort St. Anthony, now our romantic old Fort Snelling, was laid Sept. 10, IS2O, seventy-five years ago. "'Twas the tenth of September, As we all well remember," As the anniversary of Perry's victory on Lake Erie. It is the day of the na tional encampment of the Grand Army c"* the Republic at . Louisville. The time is short; but cannot the Twin Cities arrange an appropriate cere mony to commemorate the day at the site of the old land mark of early days? It would freshen the interest of the new generations In this the oldest. most historic and most picturesque of the many objects of interest within and adjacent to these cities. The old walls are going to decay, and press rumors say it is to be finally abandoned as department headquarters. Perhaps a rousing and historic celebration would renew and quicken the interest of the government -and nation to such ex tent as to cause congress to rebuild its tumbling walls, at least to the extent of preservation to its romantic pictur esqueness. . The- regular army, the Grand Army posts of the state, the state commandery of the Loyal Legion, the Sons of Veterans, the state nation al guard, city, county and state officials as well as civic bodies should all par ticipate in the historic remembrance. The Sworn Tormentors Of the Spanish Inquisition never in flicted tortures more dreadful than those endured by the victim of inflam matory rheumatism. The chronic form of this obstinate malady Is sufficiently painful. Arrest it at the start with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and avoid becoming a lifelong martyr. The Bit ters will remove malaria and kidney complaints, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and neuralgia, remedy de bility and hastens convalescence. Governor Has the Petition. A delegation from Battery A, headed hy Capt. Kelly, called at the governor's office yesterday afternoon, and present ed a petition to have the battery mus tered in again. The governor received the. men, heard their case and has taken the matter under consideration.
