The action of the chamber of commerce and
other public bodies is noted elsewhere. Be-
side the attendance of these in
a public capacity, the well known
character and beloved esteem in which de-
ceased was held will call out an attendance
never before witnessed at the funeral of any
citizen of st. Paul.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS.
We have been requested to announce that as
the Baptist church will undoubtedly be in
adequate for the attendance at the funeral ser
vices, 1T has been thought best not to attempt a
reservation of seats except for the personal
friends of the family, and for such delegations
as may desire to attend in a body. The head.
of such delegations are requested to commu-
nicate with j. r. Cleveland, Esq, before 2. NJ.

SUPPOSED MURDER.-The recent an
nouncement of the sudden death, Mt Grand
Island, Neb., of Charles G. Lawrence, and
subsequently, the news of the arrest of his
son, Frank, under suspicious of patricde,
has caused sensation at Brattleboro,
where both father and son have been well
and favorably known for many years, the
former as the landlord of the old Brattle-
boro House and later of the new Brattle-
boro and Brooks House, the latter as a
faithful clerk in one Of the principal dry
goods stores for several years. About
two years ago Frank leased hotel at
Swanton, where his father and mother
afterward joined him. A few months
thereafter Mrs. Lawrence, a widely re-
spected woman, died. After her death,
Frank, Influenced it is said by bad asso-
astray, and finally went from Swanton
leaving numerous bills unpaid. His father
joined him at Chicago after having done
what he could to settle matters at SwantOn.
At Chicago Frank procured $4,000 acct
dent ticket in his fathers name for ten
days, saying he was going to Omaha,
Neb. The next learned is from Grand
Island, where DR.. Stevenson says the
father arrived in feeble condition on
Saturday, January 81. On the following
Thursday he died under suspicious consd-
cred strong enough to warrant his sons
arrest. Investigation showed that Frank
had bought prussic acid at local drug
store. A seven-days' session of II coroner's
jury resulted Friday in the verdict that
The cause of the fathers death was prus-
sic acid administered by his son." though
the report adds 'all is circumstantial
evidence DR.. Holton, the physician OF
the family for several years, says that he
has been in the habit of administering
prussic acid to Mrs. Lawrence, and it has
been ascertained that Frank has bought
the same in different places during the
two years past. 1t is upon this knowledge
and the fact of his previous good charact-
er that his acquantances are 10th TO
believe Frank guilty of any bad inten-
tions.

from fire, we note the fact that the above
named company now owns and controls
all the interests heretofore held by tue
Babcock. Connolly, Champion and the
Great American patents, together with
others of like character that have any
possible value. The factory will remain
at Chicago where it is now located; the

There cannot be found in our country u
