The funeral of ex-County Treasurer An drew N. Nelson took place from the late res idence of the deceased, 781 Cedar street, yes terday afternoon. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in St. Paul.and the num ber of friends and relatives present attested to the esteem in which Mr. Nelson was held by all who knew him. The services at the house, which were conducted by Rev. A. J. Haupt, of the Memorial Lutheran church, were simple, and yet impressive, In their solemnity. The floral offerings of the dif ferent orders of which Mr. Nelson was a member almost covered the casket, which stood in the front parlor of the family resi dence. At the conclusion of the service at the hcruse, the cortege formed on Cedar street, and headed by the Patriarch Militant of the ord£r of Odd Fellows, slowly wended its way to Oakland cemetery. The members of St. Paul Lodge No. 2.1. O. O. F., of which the de- I ceased has been one, constituted the guard of honor and followed Immediately in the rear of the hearse. Directly behind the guard of honor came the members of the family, while in the long line of carriages following,were the friends of the deceased and representatives from the Masons, Knights of Pythias and Druids. Arriving at the grave Rev. Mr. Haupt read j a short prayer, after which the Minneopa j quartette sang several hymns, when the Patri archs Militant performed the last rites of | the Odd Fellows' service. As the casket was j lowered into the grave the customary ever green twigs were sorrowingly placed on its cover as a last tribute to a departed brother and a loving friend, and the mortal remains of Andrew N. Nelson were consigned to their laSst resting place. SERIES OF MISHAPS. .Miis Louise Ray, While Cycling;, Hub Heurt Failure. Harry F. Lanphere, of this city, rode out to Lake Minnetonka Tuesday afternoon on a tandem with Miss Louise Ray, also of this city. When near Hotel St. Louis a bad storm was seen to be brewing in the direc tion of the lake, and against a hard wind the pace was increased to reach the hotel before rain fell. Miss Ray is an experienced rider, but subject to heart failure, and after going four rjUles at,, a high rate of speed, she fell from the w^ieel., The young woman had said nothing /abeut- being inconvenienced by the speed and Lanphere was not aware that she was suffering until she' fell from the wheel, i Miss Ray struck a fence post in her fall THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: THURSDAY, MA? 28, X 896. and her head was badly cut. Lanphere was also thrown from the tandem, but was not hurt. He reached the side of the young woman almost immediately, and found her unconscious. With the assistance of another wheelman he carried her to a neighboring farm house, where she shortly regained con sciousness. It was found upon the arrival of a doctor that the wound in the head was a trival one, and that the unconsciousness had been produced by overexertion and ces sation of the heart's action. Miss Ray's mother was notified of the accident by tele gram, and reached Minnetonka Mills on the evening train. By that time the young | woman had so far recovered that she was i anxious to return to St. Paul on the tan dem, but the doctor would not allow her to again exert herself. She was driven to Minneapolis in a carriage and returned to St. Paul on an interurban car yesterday. In an attempt to ride the tandem in from i the lake alone the same evening, Mr. Lan | phere came into collision with a furniture ! wagon when descending a hill, and wrecked i the machine. Mr. Lanphere says he and j Miss Ray have covered some thousands of miles on a tandem machine during the past two seasons, and that Tuesday's accident was the first serious mishap which ever be fell them. In the collision with the furniture wagon the front wheels of the dray passed over the tandem frame and the machine will have to be sent to the factory for repairs. BISHOP FOWLER'S REMOVAL. Rev, Dr. McKinley Inclined to Doubt the Report. The report that the general conference of the M. E. church at Cleveland, 0., has trans ferred Bishop Fowler from Minneapolis to Buffalo, N. V., has occasioned much surprise in local Methodist circles. The report, which was published in the local columns" of the Globe yesterday, stated that Bishop I. W. Joyce, of Chattanooga, Term., will succeed Bishop Fowler. The report which was published in the local columns of the Globe yesterday was based on a private telegram from Blshow I. W. Joyce, of Chattanooga, to ills son, Frank M. Joyce, in Minneapolis, saying he was coming here. These changes may take place, but if they do they will be entirely voluntary on the part of the bishops concerned. Rev. William McKinley, the pastor of the Central Park M. E. church, who was Inter viewed last night concerning the matter, said: "I seriously doubt whether the general con feience has taken any action concerning the bishops. In any event such action as they may take ds not announced until after ad journment, as a rule. Because the conference is quadrennial there seems to be an impres sion that the bishops are transferred every four years. This is erroneous. All the con ference does is to nominate the cities of the i United States in which the bishops shall re side. The choice of the cities is left entirely to the bishops, the senior bishop in point of service being allowed the first choice. There fore, only a senior bishop could compel Bishop Fowler to change his residence. But as it i 3, according to the report, Bishop Joyce, a j Junior bishop, goes to Minneapolis because his | son lives there. The changes are undoubtedly I made, if they have been made, in accordance I with the wishes of both bishops, though I am surprised that Bishop Fowler desires to leave Minneapolis and the Northwest, where he is universally admired." "But it has been said that Bishop Fowler's rule is arbitrary," suggested the reporter. "I do not think that such a report is well-founded,'' answered Mr. McKinley. "As far as I can Judge, the bishop enjoys the highest esteem of the ministers under his charge. Moreover, the bishops of the Meth odist church, while they are clothed with extensive powers, are held strictly within bounds. Our bishops are the servants of the church, not our church the servants of the bishops." POLICE COURT NEWS. Annie Fink Charged with a Serious Offense, Anna Fink, a midwife residing at 418 Blair street, was arraigned in the municipal court yesterday on the charge of abortion. The complainant is John Weissner, an express man residing with his"' family at 1361 Grand avenue, who alleges that the .defendant per formed an illegal operation upon his wife, Augusta Weissner, March 29. It is claimed that Mrs. Weissner was taken ill as a result and that when Dr. Lee was called to at tend her a few days ago she was discovered to be suffering from septicoemia. It is un derstood that Mrs. Weissner is not In a dan gerous condition. Judge Twohy placed the defendant under $1,000 bond, also requiring a cash bond of $200 until June 3. William Gillen, who was arrested a few days ago on the charge of stealing a set of harness from Dr. Bergman, was charged with larceny. Gillen waived the reading of the complaint, and was held to the grand jury in the sum of $1,000. Frank Luth and Arthur Ryan were ar raigned on the charge of disorderly con duct, preferred by Sergeant Ross and Officer Cowan. The young men were arrested on Eighth street early yesterday morning, ow ing to their suspicious actions. There were three in the party when the officers saw them standing in an alley, but one of the men succeeded in getting away, while Luth was only captured after Officer Cowan had fired a shot from his revolver. Luth is a brother of the switchman of that name who was killed in a Sixth street boarding house during the A. R. U. strike of '94. Both cases were continued until the police can further investigate the men's records. Charles Llndquist was brought into court on the complaint of R. G. Sandberg, who accuses him of making threats which have caused the complainant great uneasiness of mind regarding his bodily welfare. Judge Twohy will inquire into the nature of Llnd quist's remarks today. Frank Brennan was charged with the lar ceny of a bicycle by Theodore Bilmyer. The case will be tried tomorrow. FUN FOR SHRINERS. Entertainment at • the Close of a Business Session. Osman Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, gave a little blowout last night, on the occasion of the Initiation of ten new members.

This morning the judges of the United States circuit court of appeals will hear the last case that is set for hearing at this term. Yesterday the judges were engaged in hear ing a case brought by the Farmers' Loan and Trust company against The Northern Pacific Railroad and William C. Sheldon. This pro ceeding, while in some respects identical with suits already decided, covers tracts of land not included in the other cases. These lands are located in Minnesota and the two Dakotas. The hearing will be completed this morning, but the decision will very likely be deferred.

Blrney Sabln, the young druggist from Aberdeen, S. p., did not jump from the high bridge. He did not commit suicide at all, neither has he been fouly dealt with. He is alive and well, and temporarily the guest of the Minneapolis workhouse. He stood in the Minneapolis court over there last Thursday, and beard Judge Kerr say "$lO or ten days." He accepted the alternative because he didn't have the $10. Blrney Sabin knows a whole lot more about the ways of the world now than he did when lie left Aberdeen, and his uncle's employ. Life In a city is different He would probably have lived In Aberdeen all his life without knowing what the Inside of the police station looked like. But be sees the whole thing in Minneapolis right off the handle, and also a portion of the workhouse. His sojourn there, however, has probably been cut short by the publication of his picture In the Globe yesterday morning. Some of the officers at once recognized it as the picture of • a young man who had been sent up for ten I days on the charge of drunkeness, on May j 21. It seems that on the evening previous the young man went to Minneapolis with a couple of friends to have a good time. That time developed into a too boisterous stage, and Birney was arrested for being drunk and i disorderly. After spending the night at the Centra', station, „he was taken before Judge Kerr, and as he had no money to pay the fine he was sentenced to Shingle Creek. The time will be up Sunday. Why Sabin did not communicate with his friend 3is a mystery, as they are abundantly able to help him out Of any difficulty of j the kind. His uncle has been here, as stated yesterday, for the last few days, try ing to get trace of him, and worrying for fear that he had been foully dealt with. When young Sabin left St. Paul he did not te!l any one where he was going, because he doubtless expected to return, and his com panions failed to notify his relatives. Thus his non-appearance caused considerable anx iety, and after a few days the police were notified. At the station in Minneapolis Sabln said that he was a druggist in Aberdeen, S. D., and had friends;in St. Paul, but made no effort to get help trom them. He evi dently felt the disgrace of his position and did not wish them to know of It. A. R. Patterson, a bell-boy at the Metro politan hotel, in St. Paul, last night gave a reporter for the Globe absolute evidence that Birney Sabin was arrested in Minneap olis, as stated above. Patterson's story is as follows: "Friday or Saturday evening—l cannot re member which—l was going along Hennepin r.avenue in Minneapolis, when I noticed a crowd at the corner of Washington and Hen nepin avenues. On approaching, I saw that a policeman had a young fellcw in custody, while a man who wore glasses was asserting that the young fellow was a crook, and that he had seen him with a man called 'Red,' whose last name I did not catch. The young fellow protested that he was a druggist and had been employed at Aberdeen, S. D. He produced a lot of letters to prove his identity, but the man with the glasses on •waved him aside with the remark: " 'That cuts no ice with me—you're a crook.' "The young chap protested very earnestly against being locked up, and said he was not a crook, but as I had to catch a car, I do not know what was finally done. When I saw the description of Birney Sabin and the picture in the Globe today I knew that was the fellow I had seen arrested in Min neapolis." The reporter asked Patterson why he had not told his story before. He replied: "Why I didn't think much of it at the time, and didn't want to become mixed up In it, any way; but when I saw the picture in the Globe, I recognized the face at once." GORDON IS SORRY. The Mlsslngr Man Writes to His Wife. Roy Gordon, the Duluth freight conductor who disappeared last Thursday and was as sociated with the P.P.'s high bridge fake until located in Duluth Sunday, wrote to his wife yesterday and asked her forgiveness for leaving her and their two-year-old baby in suspense and want. Gordon said in the letter that when he reported for orders Thursday evening, he was sent out with a train to Superior, and Uiat when he reached the head of the lakes his crew was laid off for three months, This so discouraged him, he wrote, that he determined to say nothing of his whereabouts until he could send his family some money. Gordon did not say when he would return to St. Paul, but his. wife says that she is happy enough to learn that he is alive and that a question of a short absence now will not worry her in the least.

Preliminary Preparations Are Going Along; Rapidly* The first regular preaching service at the Adventist encampment took place Tuesday night, with Elder Daniel Nettleton, recently transferred from Nebraska to Minnesota, in the desk. The subject of the discourse, "Seeking the Lost, or Soul Winning," based on the expression in Prov. xi., 30, "He who winneth souls lg wise." It was a touch ing, powerful and stirring-, presentation of the privileges and responsibilities of the gospel minister. At the early hour 3plM o'clock yesterday morning, songs of praise from the assembled campers floated gently through the beautiful grove. After breakfast and family worship in the tents, all were 'Busily engaged in work about the grounds. Some were locat ing new arrivals, and helping them to get settled; others were J Vaappleting the seat ing and furnishing- of.'the different large tents, preparatory to the variety of services to be held in them, beginning the first of the week. The large pavilion, 80x120, with a seating capacity of 12,000, is now in process of erection. At 10:30 a meeting was held in the inter ests of the foreign mjssvon work, a line of work In which this • denomination is en thusiastically and extensively engaged, their missionaries having penetrated to nearly every nation and country on earth. The secret of their enthusiasm in this line of work Is that they believe that as soon as "the gospel is' preached In all the world for a witness to all nations, the Lord will come." Elder S. H. Lane. of. Chicago, president of the Illinois conference, arrived during the forenoon, and will take a prominent part in the future services. Elder Lane is an eloquent, powerful and pleasing speaker, and none who hear him can fail to be Interested. At 2:30 p. m. a meeting in the interests of the Sabbath school work was held, presided over by Elder W. A. Alway, president of the Minnesota Sabbath' School association. Some statistics furnished by Miss Alberta Little, of Minneapolis, secretary and treas- I uerer of the state association, showed that during the two years ending May 30, 1896, $4,336.37 was donated by the Sabbath schools of Minnesota. $2,751.54 of which was given to foreign missions. Among the interesting features of the en campment is a large tent where lectures on the principles of health and advice and treat -ment to all in need of it will be given by representatives of the Battle Creek, Mich., sanitarium.

Part of the needle remained in the fleshy part of the abdo men and was later extracted^ Mrs. Minie E. Van Doran. the plaintiff, was on the stand yesterday afternoon, and C. D. O'Brien, who is attorney for Dr. C. A. Wheaton, the defend ant, put her through a very severe cross-ex amination. He brought out the fact that dur ing the last three years Mrs. Van Doran had said nothing to defendant to lead him to be lieve that she felt herself ill-treated or intend ed bringing suit for damages. Drs. Ancker .and Stone, with ofher physi cians, are in court as witnesses for the de fense. IN HEATWOLE'S TERRITORY. Third District Convention to Be Held Jane 30.

Francis Hermans' crimes, suspicious circumstances in con nection with the death of his second wife at this place are- again being discussed. His second wife was Miss Bertha Wangen, a Minneapolis girl, somewhat good looking, but lacking in education to such an extent that it was a matter of common mention among the congregation. With them in this city lived Mrs. Hermans' sister, Miss Carrie Wangen, whose home was at St. James, Minn. Carrie was younger* than her sister and a very good looking girl, which is said to have had some bearing upon the family affairs of the Hermans. Mr. and Mrs. Her mans lived together here until the middle of January, 1892, when Mrs. Hermans was taken violently insane from no very explicit cause. Durng her "spells" Mrs. Hermans was one of the most violent cases ever seen here, and made a number of exhibitions of herself. She was examined by Drs. Shehan and Hafsahl, both at present practicing in this city, and preparations were made to send her to the Oshkosh insane asylum. A couple of days later the woman died. Traces of ammonia were found about her mouth, which Rev. Hermans explained by saying that the drug had been given her to quiet her nerves. The case was considered strange at the time, and illusions were made to its queer features in the local papers, but the woman was buried without an inquiry. This is one of the matters to which the police are now directing their attention. Sister Carrie continued to live here and do domestic work after the death of her sis ter. Rev. Hermans was very attentive to her, and openly took her around town nights. By some it was claimed that Carrie was the source of the family troubles between Hermans and wife No. 2. Carrie Wangen stayed around town with no particular ob ject, often giving it out that she was going to leave, but never going. About this time Rev. Hermans went to a camp meeting, and when he returned it was announced that he had married wife No. 3, Miss Bertha Lom men, whose father was for four years, com mencing in 1890, state senator from Polk county, Minnesota. It appears that Carrie was not to be so easily disposed of, and stayed about Rev. ' Hermans. Finally it was announced that she was going to leave, and so far as any body knows, she did leave, but it is now said that she never got back to her home, and another case of a mysterious disappearance was chronicled. No trace of her has been discovered up to the present day. In the fall of 1893 Rev. Hermans was transferred to Salt Lake City. -^fc. Marie Decea Married. CINCINNATI, May 27.—Marie Decca, the prima donna, and Charles Smith, of Harris burg, Pa., arrived at the Burnet house yes terday.
