JURY SAYS IT WAS MURDER
VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S
GOOD MEN AND TRUE
But Ip to the Present There Is No
Detinite Clue to the Identity of
tlie Inknonn Man Found ln East
St. Paul Sunday Wtth n Bullet
Bole in Ills Head Detective
Force at Work.
The coroner's inquest over the re
mains of the unknown man, whose
bod]* waa found on the premises of
George Bohn, 810 Atlantic street, held
at the county morgue yesterday after
n ion, resulted in a verdict that the
man came to his death by a shot from
a revolver fired by some person un
known. This officially established the
murder theory, but here developments
in the case end, as no clue to the dead
man's identity has yet been found nor
any explanation of the shooting.
Th,* testimony at the inquest seemed
to show that the body must have been
carried into the orchard and conceal
ed under the bushes and hay. Dr.
Ohage, deputy coroner, testified that a
wound such as was found in the man's
head would have produced instant
death, thus precluding the possibility
of the man having reached the bushes
after having been shot elsewhere.
Officer Hanson, who picked up the
revolver and examined it with Deputy
coroner L. A. Nelson, said positively
that there was no empty shell in the
chamber. He had examined the wea
pon carefully, and said he would have
certainly seen a shell had it dropped
from the chamber when he broke the
barrel. Deputy Coroner Nelson cor
roborated the policeman's testimony,
and told of uncovering the body and
finding the man's knife and purse and
the Mue dotted handkerchief.
Gunsmith Nevotney testified that the
iwr had not been discharged with
in two months. He said the condition
of the barrel and chamber would have
shown beyond doubt if the weapon had
bean recently used. Mrs. Bohn told of
finrtirg the body under the hay, whiie
Geocge Bohn testified to the trail of
hay leading from the swaths along the
railn ad track to the hushes. Mr. Bohn,
ashed if the neighborhood of his home
w is frequented by tramps, answered
that he had seen more than 100 tramps
gcTti.ic- off trains in the morning.
The evidence at the inquest deepens
the mystery- If the revolver found by
the dead man had not been discharged
for two months, it follows that the man
was r.ot shot ft'ith this weapon, though
the bullet found in his brain was of the
B une caliber. This might indicate that
the weapon belonged to the dead man
and was thrown Into the bushes with
the other articles found in his pockets,
or that it was placed there by the sup
posed murderer, together with the
large number of cartridges in the dead
men.- pocket, to create the theory of
suicide.
That the body was carefully con
cealed ur.-ler the hay, there seems no
doubt. No matter how eccentric a
wculd-be suicide might have been, it
ls believed that no one could have so
completely covered him up so that the
pile of hay might have been seen and
passed without the slightest suspicion
that a body lay beneath it, and then
have Bred the fatal shot. Then the hay
was packed about the body so that
even Mr.*-. Bohn, with suspicions aious
ed had to procure a stick with which
to prod it about before uncovering any
part of the body.
The fact that the lunch box found
rear the body did not belong to the
in removes the strongest foun
dati n for the belief that the unknown
v. as a workingman. possibly waylaid
and rrur.dered on the" way home, and
gives more credence to the thcorv that
the body waa that of a tramp, killed,
perhaps, by som-* of his companions.
The neighborhood of the Bohn place
is overrun with tramps. Those men
travel to groups of from three to a
d< sen. The dead man was undoubted
ly young, and it is believed may have
fallen in with a tough gang, that killed
him for money which he may have
had.
No Inquiries were made yesterday
either of the police or at the morgue
by anyone searching for missing
friends or relatives, this strengthening
the belief, that the dead man did not
liv< in the city.
The police are still working on the
case.

WHEEL ~AS AN ECONOMY
IT TEACHES THE VALUE OF CIN
DER PATHS
City Will at Once Save Taxpayers'
Money and Confer a Boon on tlie
Isers of Bicycles liy Replac
ing Worn Woollen Sidewalks ln
Outlying Districts With Gravel
or Cinder "Ways.
The board of public works yesterday
made an inspection of the wooden side
walks in the Second ward, for which
preliminary orders have been sent by
the council directing that they^be re
laid.
In connection with this investigation
the beard has decided to order up the
old wooden sidewaiks and will replace
them with gravel and cinder walks,
something similar to the cycle paths
recently built.
President Copeland, seen yesterday
afternoon, said the visit of the board
to the Second ward had brought to
light the fact that about ten miles of
wooden sidewalk in the ward could be
dene away with. This amount of walks
had been put down about ten years
ago and several miles of It had never
been used by pedestrains. The top of
the walks was in good condition, but
the stringers had rotted away and the
result was that the sidewalks were
dangerous, even to the cows, which
traveled over them.
The opinion of the corporation attor
ney that the board could order in gravel
walks. President Copeland said, would
result in several miles of this class of
walk being laid and the old wooden
sidewalks being torn up.
The board will order the wooden
walks in the territory east of Duluth
avenue, from Seventh to Minnehaha
streets, replaced with the gravel paths.
Also the walks that are not in good
condition on East Seventh street, from
Phalen to White Bear avenue, and
north on White Bear avenue to the roll
road tracks. Also, on Burns avenue,
Minnehaha street, Reanev street and
Margaret street, east from Johnson
avenue to the city limits.
The property owners appear to be
greatly pleased with the proposed ac
tion of the board regarding the laying
of gravel walks instead of wooden ones.
The cost of a new wooden walk is 30
cents a foot, and for a forty-foot lot
$12, while the cost of a gravel path
would not exceed 6 cents per foot or
from $2.50 to $3 for a forty-foot lot. '
The city engineer has been ordered
to prepare specifications for the gravel
paths, and as soon as these are pre
sented to the board the property own
ers on a certain street will be called
in ar.d their views ascertained.
The board express the opinion that
the gravel for the walks can be secured
at numerous points in the Seeord ward
and the only considerable expense will
be tho securing of cinders for a founda
tion. In this connection Assistant City
Engineer Wilson stated yesterday, that
if good gravel could be secured there
would be no need to secure cinders. His
experience in building cycle paths was
that those In which there were no cin
ders were better than those In which
cinders were used.
Letters are coming in calling atten
tion to the condition of the old wooden
walks in various parts of the city and
expressing the wish that the gravel
paths will not be confined to the Sec
ond ward.
Willis J. Howard, a resident and
property owner of Hlghwood, calls at
tention to a three-plank sidewalk laid
for a distance of two miles ln the vicin
ity of Highwood, which has been down
for eleven years. The walk, Mr. Ho
ward states, is in a very dangerous
condition.
President Copeland said there was
about. 150.000 feeT; of sidewalks in the
eastern portion of the Second ward
which should never have been laid. The
walk cost about $16 per thousand feet
and the money paid for it had been
just that much thrown away.
A separate contract will have to ba
let for the laying of the gravel walks
and for the present all the work will b«
done in the Second ward, although as
soon a3 the experiment has be°n tried
it Is propored to carry the work Into the
Tenth and Eleventh wards.

HER DEATH WAS HORRIBLE
LENA GOODALL IS FATALLY
BURNED
Gasoline Stove Exploded While She
Was Preparing Supper She AViih
Alone in the House, and Wan Ter
rlbly Burned Before Help Could
Reach Her She Lived Five
Hours In Frlu-htful Agony,
Lena Goodall, a domestic employed
at the home of iMrs. Annie Parks, 342
Market street, died at the city hospital
at 11:35 o'clock last evening from the
effects of burns received in a gasoline
stove explosion at her place of employ
ment shortly after 6 o'clock last even
ing. Her body was terribly burned.
She retained consciousness until she
died, suffering Intensely.
The woman was alone ln the house
when the stove exploded, while she
was preparing the evening meal. Her
clothing was Instantly aflame. She
ran screaming from the kitchen to the
upper floor of the house, where she
raised a front window and beat against
the screen in a frantic effort to Jump
to the street. Her cries attracted the
attention of B. A. Daniels and W. M.
Smith, who were horrified at the sight
of the burning woman, and ran to the
house. The front door was locked. Mr.
Smith cut the screen and unlatched
this door, when both he and Mr. Dan
iels broke open the heavier Inside door.
Together they hurried up stairs, but
were unable to immediately succor the
suffering woman, as she eluded them
In her agony and ran through the hall
way. She rushed back to the front
room again, and here Mr. Daniels threw
his coat over her shoulders, smothering
part of the flames, while Mr. Smith
seized a bedspread and wrapped it
about the lower part of her body. In
the meantime Officer Housha had
reached *the room with John Strief,
living at 60 College avenue, and the
still smoldering clothing was torn from
Mrs. Goodall's body.
Dr. Marquiis alleviated her pain as
much as possible, and sent her to the
city hospital ln the central patrol
wagon. The woman lives at 539 Wa
basha street.
The fire department extlngulsnod the
blaze in the kitchen, caused by the
stove, with small loss to the building,
which is insured.

J. A. Wheelock, John B. Sanborn,
Thomas Irvine, N. P. Langford and A.
S. Tallmadge, which has been inter

the city and the Great Northern Rail

mittee, consisting of W. B. Dean, A.
S. Tallmadge, Charles N. Bell, Richard
Gordon and D. P. Ordway, to prepare
and circulate a petition to the mayor
and common council, asking that, if
possible there may be a reconciliation
of all the differences between the city
and the railway company.
The subcommiittee has' "prepared, and
the following petition is now being
circulated:
St. Paul, Minn., July 25, 1898.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Coun
cil of the City of St. Paul:
It appears that for some time past mis
understandings have existed between the
city of St. Paul and the Great Northern Rail
way company. In regard to the Interpretation
of a certain contract nfade between the par
ties, relating to the construction and main
tenance of bridges over the lines of the rail
way within the city limits. Also as to the
vacation of certain streets considered by the
railway company necessary for the operation
of Its shops and the conduct of its traffic.
Your petitioners pray that a suitable com
mittee of your honorable bodies be appoint
ed at once to undertake the adjustment of
all differences upon all questions now In dis
pute, or that are likely to arise hereafter.
so that there may be established and -that
there may continue to be the most amicable
relations between said Great Northern Hall
way company and the city of St. Paul.
Your petitions express the opinion that
there is no industry or business interest
in the city of St. Paul that now contributes
so largely to the prosperity of the city as
the operations of the Great Northern Railway
company. We believe that a neglect on the
part of the authorities of the city to ad
just, in the most friendly and satisfactory
manner, all points of difference with the said
railway company, may injuriously affect every
interest in the city for all time to come. We
believe that any corporation or business so
valuable to the city's interest should be fos
tered ln every way possible and treated not
only with justice, but with the most extreme
liberality.
We beg to suggest that your honorable
bodies arrange for the appointment of a Joint
committee from the assembly and board of
aldermen, in order that there may be the
most expeditious consideration of all matters
to which this petition may relate.

Peter Watt Thinks He Can Abolish
the Hopncr Pest.
The following letter was received by The
Globe yesterday from Leeds, Eng. :
"Telegraphic address, 59 Believue road,
Klondike Leeds — Leeds, Eng., July 13, IS98 —
Editor Globe.
Dear Sir: Having read a report of an in
terview your reporter had with Prof. Lugger
on mountain locusts and grasshoppers, I have
this day written the professor in the matter
and offered him a free treat of a machine
which will destroy the hoppers (if they do
not hop out of the way) and their eggs; also
destroying weeds, their roots, seeds, wire
worms, reptiles and ground vermin generally.
By my method we could go over effectively
an acre of stubble land in an hour, at a cost
of 20 cents per acre.
The machine will weight 1,800 pounds and
runs on four wheels, from one of which trav
eling wheels we obtain the motive power.
Any "handy man" could put it together and
handle it.
An application for a patent was entered
in Washington June 6. A caveat for Can
ada, dated Ottawa, June 3, patented in Great
Britain.
The machine, if properly handled, will do
all I say, and will boom itself when I hopa
soon to be manufacturing them in your midst
I am faithfully yours, — Peter Watt.
Prof. Lugger was seen by a Globe re
porter yesterday, and had also received a
letter from Mr. Watt. Prof. Lug,»- said:
"There are several machines of the same na
ture in the state, but our hopper-dozer is
surer than any of them. You see this man

WALTHER MAKES A THREAT
HE SAYS HE WILL BREAK UP
THE HOSE COMBINATION
Fire Board Had a Spirited Discus,
alon as to Whether or Not the
Limitation of Hose for Fire Use
to Two Brands AVas Froper or
No* Kick of Plumbers Referred
to a Committee.
There waa a slight jangle at the
meeting of the board of fire commis
sioners last evening- over the purchase
of 2,000 feet of hose. The board had
advertised for bids for furnishing the
department with the mentioned number
of feet, but had restricted the bids to
White Anchor and Maltese Cross hose.
When the bids were about to be
opened Commissioner Walther stated
that C. A. Bennett, of Minneapolis,
representing the New Jersey Car Spring
and Rubber company desired to make
a proposition to the board as to the
furnishing' of hose.
Commissioner Clark raised the point
that the advertisement called only for
either of the two brands mentioned,
and that none others be con
sidered.
. Commisisoner Vanish was of the
opinion that there must be just as good
hose manufactured by other firms, and
favored any proposition that would al
low the city to purchase good hose be
ing listened to. As It was now, thert,
was no chance for any hose being In
troduced in the department except
White Anchor or Maltese Cross. He
favored competition, and said lt was
for the best interests of the city to not
confine the bids.
Commissioner Warner said it had
cost the city a large amount of money
to experiment with poor hose, and the
only reason the proposals were confined
to the two brands was tnat both had
been tried and found reliable. An ex
perience of fifteen years Jhad proven
to the department that the two brands
of hose were the best.
Chief Cook corroborated the state
ments made by saying the two brands
were the best he knew of. If there
were to be any experiments with new
'hose, he favored it being done at the
expense of the manufacturers, and not
at the expense of the department. If
the New Jersey company wanlted to put
in 500 feet of hose on trial, he had no
objections, but he did not favor the
purchase of any new brand of hose
without a trial.
Commissioner Clark said poor hose
had cost tbe city some good fires, and
while lt might be possible for the
board to save $500 on 2,000 feet of hose
a loss of $40,000 at a fire would be no
saving.
The board finally decided that as the
bids called for only two kinds of hose
that no other could be considered at
the meeting, but Commissioner Wal
ther gave notice that he "proposed to
break the combination which existed
on the hose question, the next time It
came up."
The bid of B. F. Goodrich & Co.,
made through Tate & Co., of Chicago,
was that 2,000 feet of White Anchor
hose would be furnished at $1 per foot,
and $250 would be allowed the depart
ment for a Champion chemical engine
as part payment.
R. B. Carter, of Chicago, offered 2,000
feet of Maltese Cross hose at $1 per
foot, and would allow $175 for tha
chemical engine.
- The Western Supply Company of St.
Paul offered to furnish 500 feet of
White Dia.mond hose, manufactured by
the New Jersey Car Spring and Rub
ber company, at $1 per foot, with the
understanding that the hose was not
to be purchased until lt had been tried
for one year.
The bid of the Western Supply com
pany as to the hose was not consid
ered, and as the White Anchor com
pany offered $75 more for the chemical
engine the firm was awarded the con
tract.
The bid of the Western Supply com
pany to furnish a twenty-two-foot suc
tion pipe at $64.35 was accepted, and the
contract approved.
The contract for supplying the de
partment with 2,500 bushels of oats was
awarded to Jameson & Hevener, at 25
7-10 certs per bushel. The other bid
ders were: J. H. Kennedy, 2S*-,£ cents;
Tierney & Co., 27% cents; Wolff & Leh
mann, 26% cents; Eoyd Feed company,
2S cents; Griggs Bros., 27% cents.
There was but one bid in answer to
the advertisement for furnishing the
department with a first size double ver
tical pump steam engine, and that was
from the Waterous Engine Works com
pany, of this city. The company agreed
to build and deliver to the city an en
gine according to the speclfirations sub
mitted, guaranteed as to workmanship
and materia], for $4.2r;0.
The board went lr.to executive session
to consider the engine bid and decided
to refer the matter to the committee
on machinery. It was announced that
the contract would be awarded to the
Waterous company, provldlrg certain
changes were made in the specifica
tions.
The financial condition ef the depart
ment fund as shown by Secretary
Owens, was that there was a bain nee of
I $79,161.12 after the pay roll for July,
amounting to SlS.SOi^l had been deduct
ed.
The communication from the Master
Plumbers' association. protesting
I against an employe of the department
I doing plumbing work ln the various en
gine houses, was referred to the com
mittee on machinery.

The committee adve-tiscd for proposals to
be opened Aug. 3. but yesterday lt was de
cided that there would be a chance to secure
a larger number of bids if the advertis* mant
was run ten additional daya. Last year when
bids were advertised for only two were re
ceived, and the committee was of -the opin

A party of returning Klondikers,
consisting of H. L. Blackstone, of Da
catur, 111.; Danforth Becker, of Mil
waukee, and C. W. Markham, of the
same place, passed through the ' city
yesterday and registered at the Ryan.
Mr. J3lacks;tone. when seen, said:
"We all feel that we have made
$5,000,000 by escaping from Alaska with
our lives. Our party came clown the
Yukon river in a small boat when the
river was higher than it has ever been
in the history of the cour.it ry. The
rapidly melting snow caused the river
to swell to the widah of from sixty to
eighty miles, and at no time could we
follow the channel of the river. Trw
fall of the river is as rapid as its rise.
When we left the upper country it was
eighty feet above the high water mark,
and when we reached the Behring son
we were informed by the natives that
it was but a few feet above high water
mark.
"Unless some way can be devised to
get food and supplies to Dawson this

as many of the people a.re without

later in the season.

In this connection Mrs. E. L. Mtebs, Quak-/ | f J

vere burning pains which were almost unendur able, and a dull, heavy pain i*q
the lower portion of my back. If standing I was most relieved with my foot
resting on a stool or chair. The doctor told me I would have to take my
bed and keep quiet. I had not used half a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound before it worked wonders with me. I now owe my health
to the Compound. To those who arc suffering from diseases peculiar to wo
men, I would say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is just what
they need."
Mrs. Pinkham wishes to befriend you, and if you will write her at Lynn,
Mass., telling her just how you feel, she will give you the very best advice
efree of charge. Think what a privilege it is to be able to write to a woman
who is learned in all these matters, and willing to advise you without chary*.
