IN ELEVA7OR TUMBLES

Fail of Loaded Freight Elevator In P. III.
Kelly's Store - Narrow Escape from
Death.
That beehive of industry, the great
wholesale grocery house of P. Il. Kelly &
Co., was the scene of most exciting occur
renee, though happily it was not attended
with injury to any person. The occurrence
took place at about two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. At the time, the freight elevator
had been loaded with several barrels of
sugar and other groceries from the fourth
floor of the house, and Mr.. Tim. Murphy,
who operates it. had taken his place on the
platform and commenced to descend, when
some of the upper gearing broke, precipitat-
ing the elevator and load to the basement
hoor,a distance of five full stories. As the fall
ing elevator passed the third floor Mr.. Mnr-
ply, with rare presence of mind, sprung and
caught upon the edge with his hands where
he sustained himself until the regulator rope
swung near him, when he seized upon that
and slid down to the street floor, where he
succeeded in landing, his only inconvenience
from the mishap being bad fright and
blistered hands from slipping down the
rope. The elevator was completely wrecked
and its contents scattered promiscuously
over the basement floor. AS the business of
the house is just now very pressing, the &C
cident is quite serious misfortune, but the
fact that it was unaccompsnied by loss of
life, or even injury to any one, is such sat-
isfaction as to completely outweigh the Pc
cuniary loss and business Inconvenience sus-

FATAL TARGET SHOOTING.

A Pleasure Party Try Their Skill at
White Bear and VIM. Bowles Re-
ceives a Death Wound.
A sad, and it is feared fatal, accident
took place at White Bear lake yesterday af-
ternoon. The following are the particulars:
Among the visitors at this popular resort,
yesterday, was Mr.. W. s. Meeker, of Newark,
New Jersey, who has been stopping in this
city for some days past. While waiting at
the depot for the train, party of gentle
men, amoLg whom was Mr.. Meeker, had
their attention called to target shooting
arrangement within few rods of the depot,
and they stepped down to try their skill as
marksmen. Several shots were fired, and a
young lad, aged 16 years, named Harry
Bowles, son of the late William Bowles,
took it upon himself to obliterate the marks
of the shots on the target. A shot
had been made and young Bowles
had run in and plugged the hole, and after
leaving the target thought he saw another
hole he had not plugged. He ran back to
do 30, and just at that moment Mr.. Meeker
fired, the ball striking young BowIes in the
right side just above the hips, passing en-
tirely through the body.
A scene of confusion ensued, Mr.. Meeker
being completely overcome by the accident.
Young Bowles was carried to the cars and
brought down to the city and taken to ST.
Joseph's hospital. where he was speedily at
tended to by Drs. Murphy and Quinn. The
ball was found on the left side, and was ex-
tracted. At O late hour last evening the
patient was resting easy under the influence
of powerful opiates, but the attending
physicians gave little hopes of his recovery.
In the meantime Mr.. Meeker had been
arrested by Bailiff Mullins, and on his ar
rival in st. Paul was taken before Judge
U'Brien, Of the municipal court, and
held to bail in the sum of $4,000, upon
the charge of assault with dangerous
weapon. Judge Henry O'Gorman and
James O'Gorman went his bail, and he was
released. From all that could be learned
from eye witnesses, and also from the boy
himself, the shooting was purely accidental.
MIR. Meeker came to Minnesota only a short
time ago, accompanied by an invalid son,
and is boarding with Mrs. Brewster on the
corner of Sixth and Robert streets. He is
an elderly gentleman, and the sad occur
renee has completely Frustrated him. Mrs.
Bowles, the mother of the unfortunate boy,
keeps boarding house on Wacouta street,
just out of Seventh. She is in attendance
upon her son at the hospital and is almost
crazy with grief.

The Union Depot Contracts

The Minneapolis parties to whom the con-
tracts were lately awarded for the brick lay
ing and carpenter work of the union depot,
having failed to execute the greements re-
quired of them, the contracts have been
newly awarded as follows: The brick work
to Williams, Brink, Brink & Brink, of Red
Wing; the carpenter work to Giles w. Mer-
rill, of st. Paul, and the cut stone work to
Herbert Chalker, of st. Paul. These parties
have signed their contracts, given the bonds
required and begun work. Contrary to
statements heretofore made as to the modifi-
cations of the original plan of the depot, it
will be handsome building. The
exterior is to be of st. Louis
pressed brick (red) with Ohio stone (white)
trimmings. The backing will be of local
brick. The great hall way and arches lead
ing from it will be of Racine colored and
glazed brick with Ohio blue stone trim
mugs. The hall walls will be for about five
feet high faced with the glazed or porcelain
brick and the height of the wall will be re-
lieved by complementary colors of brick
and stone and handsome finish of the arches.
The exterior appearance will be creditable
to the architect and the company and salts
factory, it is proper to say, to those public
spirited citizens who have hoped it would be
worthy of the city.

4 MOTHER IN SEARCH OF A CHILD.

A st. Louis Baby Transferred to st. Paul
and the Wrong Woman Has 1t.
q If familiarity breeds contempt, the pal
ladium of our liberties, the right of release
by habeas corpus, stands in imminent peril
of being dragged from its lofty throne and
smirched in the quagmire of public con-
tempt. Especially is this 80 with regard to
the almost daily effort in st. Paul, of lae by
alleged mothers, to secure the custody of
their alleged babies, which, somehow or
other, are always in the keeping of some
body who is not mother.
To the numerous instances of this kind
that have came to the front of late must be
added another case which saw the glare of
public notoriety in this city yesterday.
From the city of dust, beer and cussedness,
down the river where the big bridge stands,
there came to this city yesterday stricken
mother, looking for her child. The story
runs as follows:
About a year and half ago Mrs. Alice
Jones, residing in st. Louis, became i'll and
was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Her infant child, then only few weeks old.
was given to the sisters of mercy, who
nOiSoo ~ AAto N1SoIOus OdDyuCOus HlIbs
Jones remained Ill for several months, dur
ing which visitor to the asylum named
Lizzie Graham, fell in love with the child,
because, as she said, it bore marked like
ness to her own dead darling. The latter
asked to be allowed to adopt the child, and
by some arrangement it was finally turned
over to her keeping. She took splendid
care of the infant, and after it was year
old she came to this city, where she has been
for several months. The adopted mother
of the baby is young and handsome, and for
some time past has been favorite inmate
of one of the so-called high toned bagnios,
save the mark, of this city.
She boarded the child with q respectable
German family, clothed it in the finest fab
r les and manifested her affections by paying
it daily visits.
The mother of the child finally recovered
her health and on hearing that the child had
been given to another she became almost
distracted. Learning that the child and
pseudo mother were in st. Paul she made
arrangements to visit this city, and as before
stated she arrived yesterday morning.
The mother called on Miss Graham and
after stormy interview both women visited
| the city hall where o talk was had with
CHIEF Weber. Mrs. Jones is undecided what
to do, but should it be necessary she will
probably resort to the courts for the release
of the child on writ of habeas corpus. On
the other hand Miss Graham, while 10th to
give up the kid, which is really beautiful,
states that she will deliver it over in Sep
TENDER. So the matter stood last night.

claims to have been drugged and robbed of
$40 and watch. He was fined $S, and SEN
tence was suspended.
A muscular fellow named John Fitzpatrick
was at the police court yesterday charged with
on Wednesday and promised to leave town if
released. Sentence was suspended, and the
same afternoon he was caught in the act of
bulldozing the residents of Nelson and Sum-
NIT avenues. He wanted either pie, money
or blood, instead of which he was yanked to
the cooler by Chief Weber. He will rusticate
on the rock pile for the next thirty days.
The Duluth iron company has issued pros
pectus for an issue of bonds, secured by a
trust deed to Walter E. Mann, the amount of
5000. for enlargement of the company's
operating capital. Its run of iron, so far, is
said to be of excellent quality and has been
purchased, in part, by Seymour, Sabin & Co.. !,
OF Saltwater, and by the st. Paul Foundry and
Manufacturing company. The enterprise of
the Duluth company oommends itself to all
Minnesotians and will doubtless be seconded
by our capitalists.
About fifty people gathered at the Opera
house last evening to witness the performance
of DR.. B. Brown Williams specialist and al
legged magician. The entertainment consisted
of feats of alleged mesmerism interpersed with
remarks on theiapplication of this peculiar pow
or in the treatment of diseases. GLASS of a
dozen persons were selected from the audience
including several well known citizens, as sub.
jeots to be mesmerised. With one exception,
and that of a boy who had been experimental
upon the previous evening, the test was COM
plete fzzle. The subjects were not gotten un-
der control, with the exception of the boy, swho
performed number of tricks remarkable only
for their assinine stupidity. The performance
will be repeated tomorrow evening.
The GLOBE yesterday morning made brief
mention of the return home of Mr.. John g.
MCCARTHY. son of ex-Alderman Mccarthy of
West st. Paul, from Bryant's business college
in Chicago. Johnnie's career in the college is
deserving of q more extended notice than the
GLOBE gave him. He entered the college JAN
uary IL, and graduated July 70, 1880. In
other words, he succeeded by hard study, and
application, in taking two years course in
six months. In the first place on entering the
college, his preliminary examination advanced
him one year Of the course, and his natural
ability and close attention to his studies en-
abled him to graduate at the end of six months
with the highest honors ever conferred upon
one of the students of the college. His career
is almost without parallel in the history of
the college, and st. Paul should be proud of
such young men.
