MIR. WEIDE'S ESCAPE.
Hoac 1T Happened and H0,c He Vas


HO1c 1T Happened and H01C He Vas
Found.
The st. Peter Tribune of the 18th inst.
gives the following account of Mr.. Weide's
exploit, which has already been mentioned
in the GLOBE:
Chas. A. B. Weide, of st. Paul, has been
for some time patient in the hospital for
insane. His insanity is of rather mild ma
ture. but several times, before coming here,
he endeavored to commit suicide. His wife
occasionally comes to see him, and she ar
rived here last Thursday for this purpose.
At her request Mr.. Weide was allowed to 60
to the Nicollet house to meet her, where he
remained until towards evening, and went
back to the hospital, preferring to stay
there at night. On Friday he went to the
Nicollet house again, where he remained in
Mrs. Weide's room until some time
in the afternoon, when he con-
Guided to go down stairs and sit in
the office little while. After a while Mrs.
Weide thought she would go and look after
him, but he was nowhere to be seen, and
search was at once commenced for him. he
had been seen going towards the foundry.
AS he had before attempted to drown him
self, it was feared he had this time succeeded.
/ DR.. Bowers, of the hospital, with several
others, examined the banks of the river and
thought they found his tracks, but after
searching until late in the evening, gave it
up, but renewed the hunt next day, and con-
tinued it through Sunday, examining the
timber and brush thoroughly, and dragging
the river near where his tracks were
seen, but no further trace of him was dis
covered. The officers of the hospital made
every effort to drag the river again on Mon
day. They had inquired of the residents
along the river and described the lost man,
but no one had seen him until Sunday even
ing, when Mr.. -, a Frenchman living in
Traverse, came up and notified DR.. Bowers
that a man answering the description had
, come to his house for something to eat, say
ing he had eaten nothing since Friday. DR.
Bowers Immediately went down, and finding
that he was the lost patient, brought hin
back to the hospital
Mr.. Weide said he had concluded to go tx
st. Paul, and walked down to the neares
timber, where he secreted himself, intending
to remain in the timber three or four days
thinking it safer to remain here until tn
excitement would be over, when he woul,
60 down as far as Henderson and take tn
cars.
He said he saw the men in search for him
e and at times they came very near where h
l was hidden in the brush, and he seemed
e enjoy it as good joke. Mr.. Weide is well
known in ST. Paul, where he was engaged i
e buiness as a music dealer.

MORE ROTTENNESS.

The Patent Office IN a State of IDisorganira-
tion-Ho,c the appropriations Hare Been
Manilutated.
days before adjournment, in fact,-Lock-
wood, the member from Buffalo, n. Y, and
chairman of the committee on the expendi-
lures of the interior department, began the
examination of witnesses in an investigation
for which he had been slowly preparing for
months. He was only at active work for
two OF three days, but the inquiry is likely
to turn out the head of the patent Office,
Commissioner Spear, or give at the very
least a prolonged leave of absence while the
secretary tries to reorganize the Office. One
days examination showed that the salary ac-
count of single bureau was doubled in
some months without in the least
increasing the amount of work
done, the clerks nominally added to the roll
never appearing to do work of any de-
scription.
Special appropriations for photo-lltho-
graphy and other work of like character
were diverted to the employment of clerical
force, and expedients not unknown in other
departments were multiplied here to provide
pay for people who like to get living with
out working for it. Commissioner Spears
first serious difficulty came at the opening
of the fiscal year when he was required to
designate the accounts and appropriations
from which he expected to pay his numer-
Gus clerks. Inquiry followed in other quar-
tiers, and Spears leave of absence came next
Meanwhile the patent Office IS practically
disorganized. This is nothing new with the
interior department. Shortly after Schurz
came in he suspended the chief clerk of the
Indian office, stripped the commissioner O.
: his administrative covers, and left the Office
for nearly year able to do little or nothing
beyond mere routine work, in addition t.
giving places to a large number of idle PEG
pie, mostly from Maine. Spear has injured
himself by an unlucky habit, of telling th
/; truth about people in favor at the whit
: house. An applicant for Office came to hir

more brilliant day for the st. Louis e1-
cursionists could scarcely have been con-
ceived than was yesterday. 1t is true it was
warm-the hypercritical might have declared
that it was positively hot-but a pleasant
breeze tempered the tendency to sultriness.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, carriages to the
number of fifty or over were drawn up at
the Metropolitan, and placed at the disposal
of the guests. There having been no official
programme arranged or suggested for the
drive, the occupants of each vehicle were
sensibly left to their own choice of route,
and it is probable the city was thus more
thoroughly and pleasantly "done'' by the
party as whole than would have been
the case had definite series of
streets been traversed by long
line of carriges casting dust upon the
hindermost. All the various points of inter
est in the way of public or private buildings
were passed, and the different and numerous
points affording the magnificent views for
which the city is deservedly famous, were
visited. That the drive furnished abundant
pleasure was testified by the voluntary en-
coniums pronounced by the guests. Nothing,
however, seemed to awaken deeper interest
or excite greater admiration than the various
wholesale and manufacturing establish
ments, such as Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson
& Co.'S, P. H. Kelly g. Co.'S, Forepaugh &
Tarbox's, G. Gotzian F& Co.'S, and others.
Said one st. Louisian: ''Ifanybody had told
me that such houses existed in St. Paul
before / visited it, should have thought he
was dreaming" 1t will thus be seen that
the business enterprise and extent of the
city deeply impressed these business men as
much as it surprised them, and they have
departed with keener and wider perceptions
of this city's resources and capabilities.
By 10 o'clock in the afternoon, most Of
the stragglers had returned, and the after
noon was passed either in quiet siestas or il
walking about the city. At 8 P. M. the visit
ors took their departure in special trair
over the st. Paul & Duluth railroad, tn,
Great Western band joining tn
party. The train consisted of seve,
coaches and sleepers, thus pro
yiding for a large number of Minneapol
itans who were expected to join the retreat
ing guests at White Bear lake. To-morro,
the return will be made from Duluth t
Minneapolis, after a lake voyage to-day fror
the former city.

Lake City Sentinel.

1t lies within Stewards power to rout the
forces which conspired for his overthrow,
and if he does his duty to himself and the
people of his district, he will either an
nounce himself as an independent candi-
date, OF form junction with each and every
element which opposes Washburn and the
fraud which made his nomination possible.
If the Republicans of Ramsey county allow
Fletcher and his mob to cackle over a
triumph for Washburn in November, and al
low fraud to rob them of their rights, they
alone must suffer the consequences. We
think, however, they will not be snubbed
into submission by those who seek to sub
vert the will of the people.
