THEY FAVOR UHIOH SONS OF THE REVOLUTION AND SONS OF THE AMERICAN RE VOLITION MARK YORKTOWN'S BIG DAY WITH A JOINT BANQUET, WHERE GOOD WILL PREVAILS IN ABUNDANCE. FRENCH CITIZENS AS GUESTS. Tliey Are Invited in Gratefnl Re membrance of the Services of Lafayette. Some fifty members of the Minnesota Bocieties, Sons of the Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution, as sembled at the Commercial club last night for a two-fold object, for busi- j ness and for pleasure. The business consisted in the consideration and rati fication of the movement to amalga mate the two societies into one, enti tled the National Society of the Amer ican Revolution; the pleasure was de rived from a unique and vastly enter taining paper by Capt. Philip Reade, of the United States army, describing the siege of Yorktown and the surren der of Lord Cornwallis to George Washington. Gen. John B. Sanborn, the president of the Sons of the American Revolu tion, presided over the assemblage, which represented both societies in about equal numbers. True to the American spirit, which recognizes the precedence of business over pleasure, the meeting first listened to the verbal report of Rukard Hurd, the president of the Minnesota Society of the Sons of the Revolution, who has just return ed from the congress of the two soci eties held in Cincinnati last week. Mr. Hurd told in detail of the prog- j ress of the union movement by the two societies, which had met in separate \ sessions in Cincinnati, but had never- j theless agreed upon a constitution. Mr. Hurd then read the proposed consti tution. The basis of the union of the two so cieties as stated by Rukard Hurd, is as follows: The members of the two national so- ! cieties shall unite in forming the Na tional Society of the American Revolu tion, by the adoption of the constitu- j tion and the election of officers as pro vided therein at a meeting to be held :>intly, when the constitution shall e.ve been ratified by a majority of the ttate societies. The general board of managers of the new society shall designate the colors, seal and insigna and formulate a rule for the wearing of the insignia, and the ust of the colors. Committees were appointed by both societies at the Cincinnati congress, whose duty It will be to arrange for a joint national meeting so soon as they are advised that a majority of the state societies have ratified the proposed constitution. The committee appointed on behalf of the Sons of the Revolu tion comprises R. H. Pugh, and E. M. Wood, of Ohio; Rukard Hurd, Minne soat; Galliard Hunt, District of Columbia; P. M. Cooke, Colorado. The committee on behalf of the Sons of the American Revolution consists of pr. E. W. Gallaudet, District of Colum bia; Charles K. Darling, Massachu setts; George A. Shields, Missouri; ! Stephen M. Wright, of New York, and L. E. Holden, Ohio. Mr. Hurd said that objections to the proposed union were interposed by the societies of two or three of the Eastern Btates, but he did not believe that the majority of the members of these so cieties shared these objections. At the conclusion of Mr. Hurd's re port, Capt. Reade related in inimitable j style, the story of the siege of York town and the surrender of Lord Corn wallis. At its conclusion. Gen. E. C. Ma- Bon narrated an incident attending the siege of modern Yorktown during the Civil war, when Gen. McClellan was in command of the army of the Potomac. Letters of regret from F. C. Boucher and J. P. Petit, at their inability to be present, were read. Mr. Petit wrote that it would have afforded him great pleasure to hear the story of the sur render of Cornwallis told again by the descendants of those who fought with Lafayette and Rochambeau. On motion of E. W. Peet, a vote was called for to ascertain the sentiment of those present regarding the question of union. All in favor of such union If you cannot get beef, mutton will answer. You may choose between milk, water, coffee or tea. But there is no second choice for Scott's Emulsion. It is Scott's Emulsion or nothing. When you need the best cod-liver oil, the best hypo phosphites, and the best glycerine, all combined in the best possible manner, you have only one choice. It brings prompt results in all cases of wasting, or loss ill weight. All druggists; $oc. and $1.00. SCOTT & BOWNE, ChemUu, Maw York. were requested to rise. Every man present rose, which was understood to mean that each society will indorse th? puposed constitution. On motion of E. S. Chittenden a vote of thanks was extended to Rukard Huid, the president of the Minnesota society of the Sons of the Revolution for his untiring efforts in behalf of the movement to bring about the union of the two societies In response to Mr. Kurd's suggestion that he relate his reminiscences of the first siege of Yorktown and the sur render of Cornwallis, Col. Samuel Ap pleton said his memory had grown a trifle hazy in the course of n r > years, hut he could say he was very glad the societies were going to unit?, as he never knew which one he be"; insert i>— whether he was a Revolutionary Son of America or an American Son of the Revolution. He only knew that whon a meeting was called at which Ru- Kard Hurd was going to sing,he stayed away, as it wvis not a meeting of his society. (Laughtrr.) Space does not permit the reproduc tion of more than an outline of Capt. Reade's historical narrative. It opened with a recital by Capt. Reade of the action of France In recognizing the independence of the United States and in concluding a treaty of amity and commerce with their commissioners, Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane and Arthur Lee. After France declared war against England in 1778. and the French fleet under Count D'Estaing had en tered Delaware bay, that brave little Republic of Holland was the next na tion to recognize the independence of this country, which recognition it sup plemented by a loan of $14,000,000. Spain had also declared war against Eng land. In both continents on land and sea. England was at war with the civilized world. Before the campaign of the Carolinas had closed, the question was, in 1781. New York or Yorktown; Ciintoa or Cornwallis. Which? Cornwallis, the man of field duty, exposure and trial, was the victim of inadequate resources. In his final disaster he lost no honor, and in his fate, England— then strug gling with the civilized world — lost no glory. Capt. Reade reviewed briefly the movements of Earl Cornwallis to York town, under the order of Sir Henry Clinton, of New York, and the plan of the campaign of the colonists and their French allies, and the srtategy of Washington, which resulted in the ulti mate capitulation of Cornwallis. Not in military annals was to be found a mere cordial co-operation than that which characterized the navy and army of Louis XVI. in aid of the United States. Capt. Reade enumerated a list of the substantial loans of France to the colonies, which exerted such an inspir ing effect upon the colonist soldiers. "Yorktown 1781 was the Appomattox, 1865, of England. The war of the col onies against England was matrici dal; that of the late rebellion, fratrici- , dal. both wars were practically ended j upon the same ground." In this con- | nection, Capt. Reade pointed out co incidents between some of the mili tary movements of each of the wars, eighty years apart. Capt. Reade, proceeding with the de scription of the siege of Yorktown, | read much of the correspondence that j passed between Sir Henry Clinton and Cornwallis, beginning during the lat ter part of September, 1781, and con tinuing until the surrender. Oct. 1 the allies had completely occupied all the vantage ground surrounding York town. On Oct. 10, Cornwallis received a message from Clinton, at New 7 York, informing him that he expected to render him assistance sufficient to save Yorktown. Cornwallis replied that nothing but a direct movement Involving a successful naval engage ment would be of any material aid in saving Yorktown. At the time of his capitulation, Cornwallis' ammunition j was almost exhausted. On the 17th day of October, while 7,000 troops de spatched by Clinton were sailing down j the bay of New York, Cornwallis sent ! | a proposition to Gen. Washington un- ] der a flag of truce, asking for a ces sation of hostilities for twenty-four hours. On Oct. 19, Lord Cornwallis was too indisposed to appear in per son, and commissioned Gen. O'Hara to deliver his sword to Gen. Washing ton, but Washington conferred the honor of receiving the British gener al's sword upon Gen. Benjamin Lin i coin, who had been forced to surren der his sword to the British the pre ceding year. The casualties during the siege were, among the American soldiers, twenty three killed and sixty-five wounded; French soldiers, fifty-two killed and 134 wounded; British soldiers, 156 killed, 326 wounded, and seventy missing. Capt. Reade paid a tribute to the soldierly character of Lord Cornwallis, who, he said, was too good a soldier to dodge a disagreeable duty. "The military sagacity of Lord Cornwallis was equal to his good taste. In re sponse to a toast given by Gen. Wash ington, "The British Army." Earl Cornwallis turned to his host and thus closed: "And when the illustrious part that I your excellency has borne in this long ] and laborious contest becomes matter j of history, fame will gather your brightest laurels, rather from the ! banks of the Delaware than from those i of the Chesapeake."

CHANGES HiS PLEA TO GUILTY W. W. ERWIN APPEALS TO JUDGE LEWIS FOR A ST. CLOID SENTENCE. ANDERSON'S SILENT CONSENT. Cloak That May Cover an Adminis tration Scandal — Story of the Crime. Much to the surprise of many Thomas Furey, the young man who tried to bunco George Roebuck out of his money, and finding the boy still had some left, deliberately held him up in broad daylight on the street and robbed him of $700 in gold, changed his plea yesterday to that of guilty to the in dictment against him. Thereby a trial THOMAS FUREY. which was expected to develop some sensational revelations concerning the city detective and police forces is avert ed, and the detectives and police are breathing easier. The criminal court opened at 2 p. in. After receiving the pleas of some of the other indicted prisoners, Judge Lewis called the case of the state against Thomas Furey. Furey sat | over near the jury box, at the right of his counsel, W. W. Erwin. Beside him sat his wife, an attractive brunette. At her left was an elder brother of Furey, who came here from Chicago. When the case was called, Mr. Erwin arose and thus addressed the court: "May it please the court, I have been asked by the defendant and requested by his wife and brother to allow the defendant to withdraw his plea of rot guilty to the indictment for grand lar ceny in the first degree, and to enter a pica of guilty." Mr. Erwin then proceeded to call at tention to the state law providing for a sentence to the reformatory of guilty parties under the age of thirty who have never been previously convicted of a crime. Furc-y, Mr. Erwin said, was but twenty-two years old and had never been convicted of a crime. Something more than a year ago Furey had married a most estimable girl oi: Doering, 0., who belonged to an ex cellent family, th^t of the Deerings. Her father was the postmaster of Do-ering, and a justice of the peace, and her uncle was the wealthy Mr. Deering, of Chicago. Mr. Erwin allud ed to the strong bond of affection ex isting between Furey and his wife, who in his present misfortune had stood nobly by him and ministered to his ■wants in so far as possible during his imprisonment in the county jail. Mr., Erwin pleaded in behalf of his client, that his case was one calling for a sentence to the reformatory, not to the state prison. Furey wanted to reform. As evidence of that disposition he had resolved to confess that he had com mitted a crime. In conclusion Mr. Er win said that his duties as an attorney had terminated by reason of an hone, t desire on Furey's part to place him self in a position to receive the mercy afforded by the law of the state to a man who had started on a career of crime, but who desired to repent and reform. While Mr. Erwin was talking Mr?. Furey was moved te tears, and Furey was likewise visibly affected. At the conclusion of the lawyer's remark*, Furey stepped forward by request of the court. In response to the questions put to him by the clerk, Furey ac knowledged that he desired to with draw his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. He then entered a formal plea of guilty, but upon motion of County Attorney Anderson Judge Lewis de ferred sentence until 10 a. m. today. After Furey had been taken back to the jail, a reporter for the Globe had a talk with him. "I don't know as I have anything further to say," responded Furey in answer to the reporter's question. "Mr. Erwin said it all. I want to reform, when I regain my liberty, I am going to follow some legitimate business. My wife will live in St. Cloud as long as I remain in the reformatory, and when I get out we will go away. My home was in San Francisco. I afterward went to Portland, where I was a com positor on the Times; then I traveled on the road for a wholesale liquor house. My wife and I have one child." During the conversation Furey de clared that he would do his best, if sent to the reformatory to earn a parole as soon as possible. George Roebuck said last evening to a reporter for the Globe that his con nection with the case would in all probability cease today. He had not been asked to remain in the city lo testify against ex-Detective Gruber, he said, and if he could secure his money, which was in the custody of the court, he would start for Kansas City to night or tomorrow, where he expects to get a position with a wholesale firm. "There have been no arrangements made," said he, "for my keeping the authorities here posted as to my whereabouts, so that I can be sum mened in case others concerned in the robbery are apprehended. I have sold my Klondike outfit and will not go to Alaska. I have friends in Kansas City £O!!gbs and £olds Dr A L SCOVILL. who has for many years been known to the public throughout the United States as an inventor of remedies for the cure of throat and lung diseases, recommends ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM as surpassing any thing that has ever been offered to the public. He has used it in his own family with great success, in the case of his sister, who was sup posed to be in the last stages of consumption. This lady is now well and has been perma nently cured by ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM. At Druggists, 250., 50c, and $1.00 a Bottle. ALLEN'S jCung balsam who have promised me a position, and if I succeed in getting it I would not come back to St. Paul, if my coming here would interfere with the business in which I expect to engage. As to Mr. Gruber I feel the same to him as to Furey, and if he was here now would not feel like sparing him, but if he shows up .after I leave the city 1 do not think I' should go to any trouble about returning! to give testimony against him. The county attorney has informed me that my return cannot be compelled, if ;I am not in Minnesota, and as the matter of the robbery will be practically 'settled by Furey's sen tence I will likely not come to St. Paul again. If I ado not find employment in Kansas City I. will doubtless return to my home In Brooklyn, N. T. I shall certainly leave St. Paul as soon as my money is returned to me." Gruber is at present hiding over in Wisconsin and is expected to return and give himself up in a few days. So that the whole sensational case will soon be a thing of the past. IX CRIMINAL COURT. House Breakers and Other Offenders Are Arraigned.. Daniel Burgoyne and John Corcoran were arranged in the criminal court yesterday before Judge Lewis on two indictments, one charging them with burglary in the third degree, in break ing into the store of the Belding Bros., and the other charging grand larceny in the second degree, in taking there from several pounds of silk thread. Both pleaded not guilty to each indict ment. They will be tried in a few days. William Irving, indicted jointly with Herbert Faribault on the charge of stealing property from the shop of the Mitsch Carriage company, pleaded guilty of grand larceny in the second degree, and will be sentenced this forenoon. Faribault pleaded not guilty and his trial will take place today. John Coyne, indicted for grand lar ceny in the second degree, in stealing some cash and two rings from O'Con nor's saloun, asked permission to with draw his plea and plead guilty to the charge of petty larceny, he having re turned the rings and the money. The court will consider the request and de cide this forenoon. Frank Steffany and James Lynch, who have pleaded not guilty to the in dictment charging; them with holding up one Booth on the Rice street bridge, will be tried immediately after the con clusion of the trial of Faribault. SHE CHARGES SLAXDER. Victoria Gillette Sues a Pawnbroker for l;iii!iuacs. The slander suit of Victoria Gillette against Pawnbroker Finkelstein is on trial before Judge Kelly and a jury. Miss Gillette, a pretty brunette, on the sunny side of twenty-five, demands $3,000 damages of the pawnbroker, who, she alleges, defamed her moral char acter in a conversation he had with County Attorney Anderson. The plain tiff had pawned a ring to the defen dant, and some controversy having arisen over its redemption, Miss Gil lette had laid the matter before the ] county attorney. Subsequently Mr. j Finkelstein called upon that official, and according to the complaint, in dulged in some serious observations re garding the plaintiffs reputation for chastity.

UNKNOWN STRANGER TRIED TO SHOOT A SECOND-HAND STORE PROPRIETOR ON EAST SEV ENTH STREET. WHAT DOES MRS. THOMAS KNOW? Woman Wbo Lives Over the Store Is Questioned Closely by the Police Officials. Loud cries of "Murder! police! help!" sounding from the rear of Louis Ray mond's second-hand store at 499 East Seventh street shortly before 8 o'clock last evening created considerable ex citement in the vicinity and attracted a large crowd. When neighbors reached the scene they found Raymond back of his store in a high state of nervous excitement, and for a time he could make no explanation beyond wildly as serting that an attempt had been made upon his life, declaring that he had only escaped a would-be assassin after a desperate encounter in the store. Raymond showed no signs of a strug gle, with the exception of several small scratches on his right hand, which he said had resulted from his seizing the revolver which was pointed at his head. After becoming somewhat calmed, Raymond said he had been reading the paper in his store when a man entered the front door, and before he could leave his chair pointed a revolver at him. The man, Raymond says, did not utter a word, but advanced toward him, wild-eyed and apparently desper ate. Raymond sprang from his chair and crawled behind the counter and started on his hands and knees for the rear of the store. He says the stranger crouched down also and followed him. Back of the counter, Raymond says, the man got so close to him that he feared every moment would be his last arid grabbed the revolver. Then be gan a struggle, he says, the stranger muttering to himself, and Raymond begging for his life, promising to give j the unknown all the money in the i place if he would not kill him. In the I scuffle a show case was knocked over, j making considerable noise, when Ray mond says the man with the revolver ran out of the front door. Raymond then rushed to the rear entrance and i cried for help. He says he is positive j that the stranger's object was not rob ! bery and declares that the man meant to kill him, though he professes to know no reason why any one should desire his life. The police investigated the case later and say there was a woman concerned in the affair, a Mrs. Thomas, living over Raymond's store. The woman is said to be the wife of a railroad con tractor, and was taken to the central police station, where she was subjected i to the questioning process, but denied . all knowledge of the affair in Ray : mond's store. Raymond, however, says he heard a quarrel going on in the i woman's apartments half an hour be ! fore the man with the pistol entered his place, and claims to have heard the j Thomas woman run out on a back j porch and call for help. He said he I thought he knew the man, but after | ward contradicted this statement, ! though declaring it was the same man whom, he says, he heard upstairs. He i described his assailant as a tall man I with a black mustache and wearing a ! black derby hat. The Thomas woman's j husband is paid to be not over five feet tall, heavy set and wears a brown j mustache. Raymond says he has only known Mrs. Thomas as she has occa sionally visited his store. The woman's | husband is said not to have been seen ; about the place since last Sunday. LOST THREE-FIFTY. Vincent Stawakl TePs of His Ei perienee In Vayor Griffin's. Vincent Stawski came to St. Paul Friday j as the reprrsrr.tativp of a Polish newspaper I at Winona, for \Ui.h h;- hoped to gather | a few subscriptions in this city. Vincent rushed into the c r-tral police station last evening with a flow of language of which "drei und drriz^. .Si'-bente strasse" was the burden until induced to tell his story in the best English he could command, when he dr eland he had been swindled out of 53.50 in a pekrr g; me at a saloon at 33 East Sevi-ntli strett. The young man said he had drank a glafs nf beer st the place whi"4 sev eral •Wi-11-di&es' d fellows invited him to teVe a li.i.d in a game of poker. He says he lest $3.50 in thiee minutes and a half and th<n the ga: .c broke up. Then he made a rear. >'c- one about the place was badly frijrh'cm d. Virecnt says the crowd threatened to do vll kinds d things to him if he did net ke ep still. They shook their fists in his face iit- says, and told him \t he called in the roli'.-e he woald likely be put in tail frr gambling. Finally Vincent says the prcpriexr offered him 50 cents and a drink. The ycur.g man, however, left the place, he sn>s. when several of those with whom he hr.d been playing cards followed him to Sev erth and Wabasha streets, threatening him Ixd ly harm and offering to give back his money if he would return to the saloon. Stay.ski said he was badly frightened and net being able to find a policeman had run nearly all the way to the station. DR. STOKE TRIUMPHS. Health Department Wins the Suit Rronsrht by 31. J. Morlarity. The mandamus proceeding lnst'tutod by Michael J. Moriarity to compel Health Com missioner Stone to issue to Mr. Morittruy a permit as scavenger to collect and dispose of night soil through the medium of his flushing plant on lower West side levee, were dismissed by Judge Willis yesterday. Moriar ity had paid for and procured a scavenger's license and furnished his bond to tie city, as required by law. but Dr. Stone iad re fused to give him a permit to collect night soil. But upon the hearing before Judge Willis it appeared that Mr. Moriarity htd neglected to comply with an important pro vision of the ordinance, which says that the I method of disposing of the contents of vaults and cess pools must be approved by the com mon council before the scavenger can carry on his business. It was shown that Moriarity had not asked for an approval of his plan and that the council had not approved it. Consequently the court granted the motion of Assistant Corporation Attorney Phillips to dismiss the application for a writ -of man damus. Moriarity owns a flushing plant on the "West side levee some two or three blocks within the city limits, which is constructed in place of a former plant at the same point, which was destroyed by fire. The council had ap proved the former plant, but not the present one. Incidentally, Judge Willis rebuked Moriar lty's counsel, Walter Chapin, who ina/iifested a "desire to prolong his argument after the court had dismissed the proceeding. JOINED IH ITS ISSUE.

A young woman rushed up to Officer Dave Hennessey at Third and Robert streets short ly before 11 o'clock last night and informed him that some one was being killed In a saloon at the south side of the Robert street. J bridge. She said she had heard loud cries j for help, while waiting near the saloon for a I car. and the sounds of breaking glass, min gled with curses. Then two men ran out of the saloon, the woman said, and drove off with a horse and buggy, which had been standing near by. The fact that Officer Hen i nessey had a few minutes before seen a couple of men crossing the bridge In a light buggy gave color to the story of the fight, though the Ducas street police knew nothing of the affair, and no one injured was found near the saloon.

The four per cent Debenture Stock of the Chicago Great Western Railway Company pays two per cent interest on its par value of $100 per share each six months, making four per cent per annum. It can now be bought at about seventy-four dollars per share, at which price . It pays five and one-third per cent interest per annum, and at eighty dollars per share it would pay five per cent on the cost or investment. The interest is paid to the registered owner by check sent to his address, without expense to the owner, on the fifteenth day of January and the fifteenth day of July in each year. In two Important particulars the Debenture Stock Is better for small In vestors than a bond, viz.: (1) The certificates being registered, if they are lost or stolen, unlike bonds, the stock remains the property of the registered owner, who would continue to receive the interest. (2) The stock is issued in $100 shares, so a small investor can purchase $103 or any multiple of $100, while bonds are usually issued in denominations of $1 000 each, so that no less than $1,000 and multiples of $1,000 can be purchased. Under the Company's rules, the local registered owner of five or more shares for six months prior thereto is entitled to free transportation to Chi- __J cago and return at the time of the annual meeting in the first half of Sep tember in each year. This stock is recommended as a safe ar.d profitable investment for savings, easily and quickly convertible into money whenever desirable. It is listed on the New York and London exchanges. As it is impracticable for small investors to purchase in New Lork or Loi: dcn to accommodate those who may desire to purchase from one to twenty shares, the following banks in St. Paul are prepared to sell such small lot?, to be paid for in full at the time of the purchase or at the option of the purchaser to be paid in monthly installments, as follows: Ten dollars per share to be paid at the time the purchase is made, and ten dollars per share on the twentieth day of each succeeding month.
