TO PRISON FOR LIFE
THAT IS THE SENTENCE FIXED BY
THE CODE FOR GUION'S
CRIME
MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE
On Account of the Difficulty of Prov
ing Premeditation, He Wn* Per
mitted to Plead Guilty to Murder
fn the Second Decree When the
Case Cnme Up for Trial Yester
day.
Frederick Guion, indicted for murder
in the first degree, for the killing of
James Miller, Nov. 15, 1599, changed his
plea of not guilty yesterday and pleaded
guilty to murder in the second degree.
The prisoner, when arraigned before
Judge Jaggard, appeared as cool 'and col- .
lecled as though he* was an uninterested
spectator in the court room. H.e was rep
reeenetd by C. D. O'Brien and John H.
Ives, and after the plea had been made,
the prisoner was remanded for sentence
which will be pronounced this morning.
The punishment for the crime to which
Guion pleaded guilty is fixed by the codo
at imprisonment for life in the state
penitentiary. County Attorney Bigelow
said he was satisfied with the change.
It wouid have been a hard matter to
convict Guion for murder in the first de
gree, owing to the peculiar circumstances
of the case. The intent of Guion to kill
one man and then killing another, tho
county attorney thought, made doubtful
a proof of meditation in the killing of
Miller.
The crime for which Guion will be sen
tenced today was committed in the office
of Justice Smith, on the West side, Nov.
15 last. Guion had a grievance against.
Justice Smil.h and in a fit of rage he
went out of the court and returned with
a shotgun. When he entered the office,
Justice Smith, Attorney Ferdinand Barta
and James Miller, the murdered man,
were present. Miller stepped toward
Guion when the gulf was discharged and
Miller fell to the floor dead. Guion fired
a second shot, but Attorney Barta grap
pled with him and the charge went into
the ceiling.
DID NOT GET TOGETHER.
Witnesses for tlie State, in the Cos
tello Case.
John Costello, indicted for assault on
Her.Ty O'Connor, was acquitted by a jury
In the district court yesterday. The trial
of the case occupied two days, but the
jury took but ten minutes to agree on «,
verdict of acquittal. Costello was charged
with having assaulted O'Connor by hit
ting him on the head with a cuspidore in
a saloon kept by O'Connor. Assistant
County Attorney Zollman- explained the
failure to convict by saying that the wit
nesses for the prosecution did not agree
as to the statement of facts. F. L. Mc-
Ghee defended Costello.
GAIiTHIER IS DEFEATED.
Jury Returned a. Verdict for Defeml

noon after being out ten minutes. Gau
thier brought action to recover $190 for
services rendered in assisting the de
fendant to collect the claims of Indians
against the United States government.
The defense of Gen. Sanborn was that
he had paid Gauthier in full for all
services ever rendered and owed him
nothing.

ONLY EARNED A DIME,
So the Mississippi Valley Asks the
StP.te to Excuse It.
C. H. Judson yesterday made a return
to the state treasurer for the gross earn
ings tax of the Mississippi Valley Tele
phone company. While, it was a mat
ter of regret that the company had
earned no more, not, however, be
cause of its anxiety to pay its money
into the state treasury, but because there
was a large deficit, the company was un
able to make as favorable a report as it
would like. The year's earnings figured
just ten cents, while the expenses of
construction were $300,000. The letter ex
plained that the ten cents was received
from a soldier of the Forty-fifth regi
ment, who used one of the company's
phones last fall, and insisted on paying
for the service. The Sime is being pre
served, as a memento, and will be frameJ
by the company as its first earning.
Inasmuch as the deposition and
revenue stamps would take all of the
company's 1399 earnings they ask that the
matter be left over until next year, when
they promise to maKe a better showing.
Returns for the gross earnings tax were
made by the Union Depot Transfer Coin,
pany of Stillwater, for $112.50 and Minne
sota Transfer Railway company, $273.98.
ST. ANDREW'S WORK.
Loenl Brotherhood Men Are Ad
dressed l»y D. G. Maynard.
Duff Green Maynard, of New York,
vice director of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew chapter connected with St.
George's church, in that city, was present
last evening at a meeting of the local
assembly held at Christ church.
The gathering was in the nature of a con
ference. Mr. Maynard is interested in
the work of the brotherhood, and, being
on his way from the Pacific coast to New
York, he was invited to stop oft! at St.
Paul and give the local assembly the ben
efit of his experience, as well as some
suggestions as to the manner in which
the work could bs carried on. Mr. May
nard urged the subdivision of the chap
ters into committees to visit ihe hospitals
and jails, and to see that strangers in
the city v.-ere invited to attend church,
and, after that, called on by a visiting
committee. He related numerous rxpe
rionces in the work of the brotherhood,
and answered numerous questions put to
him by members of the local organisa
tion. The aim of the brotherhood, he said,
was not to be a school for churchmen,
but io bring men into the church. Mr.
Maynard was entertained by tho officers
of ihe St. Paul chapters yestp.rday, and
will leave for the East this morning.

IS A MOUKIDK COLLISION
OMAHA AND BURLINGTON TRAINS
GET MIXED IN THE UNION
DEPOT YARDS
A Peculiar Accident Which Resulted
in Smashing a Car, but Inflicted
No Personal Injuries—An Investi
gation to Follow.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha express from Chicago, due in St.
Paul at 8:10 in the morning, struck the
Burlington's Chicago express in a broad
side collision on the Burlington "V" yes
terday, as the latter train was backing
out of the union depot station sheds
preparatory to finishing its run into Min
neapolis. By the fortunate circum
stance that the coaches struck by the
Omaha express were almost empty, there
were no fatalities. The accident was
peculiar and the causes are not ex
plained. The Omaha train supposedly
was protected by block signals, yet it
crashed into the Burlington express
while the latter was backing down the
"Y."
The Burlington's Chicago express is
due in St. Paul at 7:45' in the morning
and had unloaded its passengers in the
union station and was backing ouc on the
"V" to switch on the Minneapolis line
when the accident occurred. Just
as the express backed down' the "V"
the Omaha night express from Chicago
came spinning into the yards, due at
8:10. The Omaha train came in sight
just as the Burlington came across its
track, which crosses the "Y." It was
running down a heavy grade at a con
siderable rate of speed, and though the
engineers and crews of both trains did
all in their power to avert an accident,
the two met, the Omaha crashing into
the side of the next to the rear coach
of the Burlington.
At the instant the two trains came to
gether half the Burlington coach was
across the intersection of the Omaha
main line and the outgoing tracks of the
Burlington. The yard switchmen state
that as the Omaha passed its nearby
block, which was open, the engineer
leaned far out of his cab window and
saw the Burlington ahead. He then
dropped back and reversed instantly, at
the same time throwing the air and ap
plying sand to the rails. The momen
tum of the heavy train waa so great
that hig prompt action hardly sufficed
to check its speed and the next instant
the Omaha engine was plowing through
a passenger coach.
The heavy Omaha express ergine, No.
255, opened out the side of the Burling
ton coach like a knife through an air
cushion. The forward endj of the last
coach on the Burlington train was con
siderably damaged. The Omaha engine,
which suffered the brunt of the collision,
was able to complete its run into tho
depot, though the pilot was carried away
and the right cylinder badly shattered.
Engineer C. Montgomery, of 759 Marshall
avenue, in charge of the Omaha express,
was not injured, though both he and his
fireman were badly shaken up. W. F.
Brisbin was in charge of a switch en
gine attached to the Burlington, which
was pulled by its own engine in charge
of Richard Grey. .. j
Witnesses of the accident rtate that
the semaphore signal protecting the
Omaha line at the point of the accident
was open, showing a clear track, as the
train passed it, though the arm was
raised almost immediately afterwards it
was semi-offlcially stated yesterday that
an inquiry will follow the accident.
ABOUT A FOOT OF SNOW.
That Is the Average of February
Fleecy for Twenty-Nine Years.
Prom the records of the weather bu
reau for twenty-nine years Local Ob
server Lyons has prepared the following:
summary of what is to be considered a.
normal February: The average pre
cipitation is .93 inches, or something less
than a foot of snow, the greatest re
corded ir: any February being 2.55
inches in 1881, or over two feet of the
fleecy. The least precipitation for any
February on record was in 1877, when
there was but .01 of an inch. Feb. 27
bears "the record for the great snowfall
in any twenty-four hours, the rain
gauge showing a melted record of 1.12
inches, while the actual measurement of
the snow showed 10.9 inches.
The normal temperature is 16 degrees.
February, 1877, averaged 32 and February,
1875, 7 degrees, those being the extreme.
The highest February temperature re
corded was 61 on Feb. 26, 1896, the lowest
33 below on Feb. 9, 1888.

SECOND FIERY BAPTISM.
St. John's School Gome* Through
Without Serious Scars.
The rebuilt St. John's parochial school
auditorium at Hope and Margaret
streets, was dedicated last evening with
somewhat intormal exercises. The aud
itorium has been thoroughly refitted and

of the building have been replaced.
The exercises consisted of. music, fol
lowed by a social session. Miss Millie
Pottgeiser, Miss Anna McQuillan, J. F.
Gehan and Fred Sampson, together with
the Twin City Mandolin club, contributed
to the evening's entertainment. Each
of the soloists was cordially encored, and
each responded graciously.
The young women of the parish served*
refreshments and Rev. Father T. F.
Gleason expressed pride in the Improved
condition of the school.
Night before last the parish came very
near again suffering by fire. A large
lamp in the hall fell, but was extin
guished before any serious damage was
done.

MOOSE MEAT ON ICE.
Fred Ahler* Is Charged With the
Slaughter of the Animal.
A full grown moose was received by
Executive Agent Beutner yesterday and
placed in cold storage. The animal was
killed near New York mills, and Fred
Ahlers is now in Jail at Wndena on the
charge of killing, game out of season. He
has been bound over to await the action
of the grand jury, which meets in Fergus
Falls in the spring.
The case is a rather peculiar one, in that
complaint was made by a man named E.
Hoppeman, a section foreman at that
place, who, it appears, was prosecuted
for illegal shooting a year ago by Ahlers.

was employing S^jj^td *prve as special
policemen on eHp)|tyt of a threatened
strike of emploM^^'f 'the operating de
partment of the^W|t£ Is pronounced an
unqualified fabricjit*|p by executive of
ficials of the ra^w.aV system. One of
the chief general officers of the road said
last night:
"It is not trufr that the Great North
ern railway is J^eparing for trouble. It
is not true that ".any emissary or repre
sentative of the company, or any de
partment, is now or has been employing:
special police In Minneapolis or else
where. Neither is it true that the
trainmen's grievance committee is wait- I
ing for word from Great Northern of- 1
ficials as to when a -conference may be |
held. The situation is simply this: Ten
days ago that committee called and pre
sented a schedule for hours and pay
which the company rejected. Then the
company presented a schedule which
the committee in its official capacity re
jected, notifying us at the time that the
committee would' submit the schedule
to a vote of the employes represented by
the committee and when the result was
known would return and tell us the re
sult. It will require some time to get
this vote and we have not heard from
the committee on any subject since that
time, and do not expect to hear from it
until the vote is completed."
"Is it true the company has been
'sounding* individual employes concern
ing their views on the rejected sched
ule?"
"It is not. The company has dona
nothing further than take particular
pains to see that every employe has a
correct copy of the schedule offered by
the company which is to be voted or; by
the employes. We think they should
understand perfectly the schedule offered
by the company."
Fred Smith, of this city, chairman of
the protective board of the Great North
ern Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
asked the Globe yesterday to say that
the statement which appeared in the
Minneapolis Times Monday and credited
to him. was mainly a misrepresentation
of facts. He had said that ihe relations
of the firemen and the road were har
monious and satisfactory. For the other
branches of the.service Mr. Smith did not.
presume to speak. The story, like that
in the "Minneapolis evening paper of last
night, was maihTy -"pipe."
The Minneapolis story, which was sent
out from there by the Associated Press
yesterday, said that Timothy O'Meara
had been engaged to hire all the ex
policemen he could get in Minneapolis
for the Great Northern. As a matter of
truth it is known that O'Meara was in
St. Paul a few flays.ago seeking a posi
tion wfth the engineering department of
the Great Northern road. He wanted to
go cut as a rod man, having learned, so
he told a reporter of-the Globe at the
time, that Chief • Engineer Stevens was
about to send out a surveying party.
Which may or may -not be the basis for
the whole yarn. :

success; on_ote stage.
Annie Stack Berleln .Says Its a Hard
Road to Travel.
"Those who imagine the life of a player
to be one of ease and Idleness," said An
nie Mack ..Berlein, .playing Widow Laflln,
in Thall & Kennedy's production of "Ton
Yonson," at the Grand opera house this
wee.k, "have a mistaken idea of the pro
fession. It is at all times an alloy to
my enjoyment of excellence to reflect on
theipainful ordeal throug-h which it must
have passed before it could obtain pre
eminence. When it is reflected that In
this country there are so few initiatory
schools to form the actress, and that her
adoption of the profession is owing, in
nine' cases'out of ten, to the romantic
penchant of youthful predilection, it is
a matter o£ astonishment to have so
many examples of histrionic talent. It
is almost the only pursuit which dis
penses with formal initiation.
"The actress is comparatively self-in
structed. She acquires the mystery of '
her art by the tedious process of personal !
application, and, except in the mechanical
part of it, or what Is termed 'stage busi
ness,' deprives little advantage from the
experience of others. I know that in a
profession so intellectual perfection can
not be imparted by mere instruction;
but it often happens that a woman qual
ified for the stage by natural ability and
enthusiastic inclination is yet grossly de
ficient in what appears to me an indis
pensable requisite for dramatic excel
lence. A good education, and there It
is, that, though competent in every
other respect, she has to retrograde be
fore she can advance, and with the best
talents in the world, unless she labors
incessantly, she will remain a mere tyro
at the last. A woman who does not un
derstand what she recites can neither re
cite It correctly fcor so embody the sense
of the author as id convey his meaning
to the audience.,.
"Then a good must be a good
study Her utter inability to memorize
begets the slovenly > habit of endeavoring
to retain the sense instead of the words
of the author, and,this not Infrequently
disqualifies her oompfetely. A profession
embraced in a moment of enthusiasm,
when it degenerates into a mere trade to
get bread, soon loses that gay coloring
with which the imagination had decked
it The pursuit df excellence becomes toil,
which it relinquishes for that less pain
ful mediocrity wTiicn'will secure an ex
istence, though it-will never lead to fame
or fortune." s\' ''

Edgerly, they being married in England.
A year after they came to America Mrs.
Edgerly returned to England, and, be
coming insane, was placed in an asylum
at Brantwood. Edgerly came West and
married Belle Gates, stating that he had
secured a divorce from his first wife.
This, however, was not the fact. Edgerly
died, leaving an estate valued at $5,000.
It is now sought to have a guardian ap
pointed to protect the rights of the first
wife in the estate. , Philip Gilbert, attor
ney for Belle Edgerly, contended yester
day that his client had received no notice
as to the depositions to be taken in Eng
land relating to the first Mrs. Edgerly,
and for this reason the proceedings were
Illlegal. Judge Bazille ruled against this
contention. The further point was made
by Mr. Gilbrft that his client had a
right to be heard on the appointment of
a guardian for Mrs. Edgerly No. 1, and
this will be argued today.

TOOK IT OUT OF COURT
UNUSUAL ACTION OF ATTORSTEV
THOMPSON IN FEDERAL. CIR
CUIT COURT
SAYS A RULING WAS UNFAIR
While His Client Was on the Stand
Giving: Testimony the Counsel,
Disturbed by an Adverse Ruling
of Judge liochrtin, Withdrew the
Case, That Another Court Might
Hear It.
The last jury case on the United States
circuit court calendar came to an abrupt
termination before Judge Lochren yester
day afternoon, when Attorney B. S.
Thompson, conducting the case of Joseph
X. Bone against The Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Company,
jumped to his feet, while plaintiff was
giving his testimony, and angrily in
formed the court that he wished to with
draw the case. Judge Lochren granted
the request, and court adjourned with
Plaintiff. Bone still in the witness .chair.
Speaking of his course, Attorney Thomp
son said:
"From a ruling of the court that I con
sidered entirely erroneous I concluded
that my client had no show against the
corporation he was fighting, and I simply
tried to protect his interest by submitting
voluntarily to a non-suit. By this means
his case can be taken up In the- state
court, where a man does not have to
give an excuse for living to get a fair
show."
The suit was to" recover $3,000 for alleged
personal injuries. 'Bone was assisting in
unloading a freight car in the local Oma
ha yards, when., he alleged, the agents
of the company backed another car
against the one in which he was working.
He was thrown to the. floor, sustaining
a broken leg- and suffering other injuries,
he alleged.
MINERS ADJOURN.""
Impossible to Transact Business.
Owing to Bad Feeling.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 25.—When
the joint conference of operators and
miners began today, Chairman Bogle
said:
"I regret that an exceedingly exasper
ating matter in our last session yester
day so irritated me that I forgot myself
and was guilty of using unparliamentary
language. This is my apology to this con
vention."
W. D. Ryan, the Illinois miner, who ac
cused Bogle of being "too forced." got
the floor at once, and, in a tone of sar
casm, said:
"I have no desire at any time to retard
the progress of this convention. I say
that I had sufficient provocation to say
what I did, and make this statement in
open convention. This is my apology
to the convention."
A motion to adjourn was quashed by a
fierce shoOt from the miners. Chairman
J S Martin, of the joint scale committee,
announced that the members would hold
a session at once.
John F. Reese, an lowa miner, made an
effort to have the lowa operator question
brought in again, but was not successful.
The miners and operators were apparent
ly in bad humor, and it was evident that
no businesis could be done. Finally a mo
tion that the convention adjourn, subject
to the call of the scale committee, was
carried. •
