IN A BAD WAY.

sBold Actto,s" Necessary to Keep Minne-
apolis A5aost.
Minneapolis Evening Journal, June 81
The attention of Minneapolis tax
payers and citizens generally is called to
the article on the third page of this issue
of the Ecensag Journal, setting forth the
difficulties under which the present
Minneapolis municipal government
is now laboring with respect
to finance. 1t appears that
owing to the insafaciency of the several
funds, and the peculiar manner in which
the hands of the authorities are tied by
the provisions Of the city charter, apolice
force adequate to the clty's protection
cannot be provided, nor can the water
works and sewerage improve
ments necessary to the city's
health and safety from the fire be prose-
cuted. The situation is a perplexing
one. but it is not the fault of the mayor
or council, and these functionaries
ought not to be blamed. Mayor Rand
points out the fact that the only remedy,
until the meeting of the next legislature,
is bold action on the part of the board OF
tax levy in levying for the revolving or
permanent improvement fund the full
rate of ne-fourth of one per cent allow
ed BY law. If the people of Minneap-
oils want improvements and efficient po-
lice protection they must be willing to
pay for them.

The Heated Term in Chicago and Cincin-

The Heated Term in Chicago and Cincin-
natl.
CHICAGO, July 9-Tte- heat of summer
which seemed this morning to have reached
the maximum, was tempered this afternoon by
a cool refreshing wave from the north, and
the brief but severe dead spell has disappeared
temporarily. 1t has been disastrous while it
lasted. To-day eighty-three burial permits
were issued, the largest in Cnicago's history
for one day. Of these twenty deaths were
from cholera infantum. Several cases of sun
stroke occurred to-day; none fatal.
CINCINNATI, July 9-The heat here to-day
was intense. The United States Signal service
reports at $50 A. M. So; at 10:30 A. M. 91.8; at
$50 P. M. 80; at $3.50 p. NJ. SO; at 10 ?. NJ. 90.2
minimum at A. NJ; maximum at $3.50 P. NJ.
1905 In the Cincinnati hospital seven struck
patients were received-none dangerous. Five
cases of sunstroke have been reported in Cow
ington-none serious. Many builders yester-
day and to-day discontinued work to save the
men.
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, July 9.-The
weather to-day has been the hottest known in
years. The barometer in the shade indicated
temperature of 1O2 degrees. Many cases of
sun stroke occurred, one fatal. Tonight o
refreshing breezs prevails.

about four feet high, flashed upon him and
his whole muscular strength was strained for
the act when he fell forward, struck by the
second shot, Guiteau was behind him. The
instant he pulled the trigger the first time he
stepped forward four feet 1t was but q
very fraction of second between the explo-
sion and the Presidents alarm, and
that fraction was on the side of
the would-be assassin. His purpose
was also to fire second shot and he stepped
quickly forward to get as near the President
as possible. They were not six feet apart, SO
that the instant the President realized the sit
uation his intense activity of mind and muscle
made him the aggressor, and it was that In
slant he received the staggering bullet and
fell forward against the wainscoting of the
room, at the head of the aisle leading to the
main hall. Till now the impression seems to
have gained hold, that Guiteau's act was done
SO quick that the President did not compre-
hend what was going on. 1t is true, as told
YOU awhile ago, that the reports of the firing
were so close together that it could not have
been longer than it would take to cock pis-
toll yet during this time Guiteau was advanc-
ing, and the President preparing to advance
upon his assailant. Any one who will-take
his watch and carefully observe the beats of
the second hand will be surprised at the
distance one can get over in a single second
if impelled by a strong motive. It is more
satisfactory to grapple a wretch, ,undaunted by
the appearance of an ugly weapon aimed at
one. The position in which Guiteau stood
made it necessary for him to shoot at nearly
an angle of 40 degrees, while the position of
. the body of the President was also at about
the same angle with the seats when the ball
struck his right side. With this understand
ing of the position of the two it is evident the
ball met with great resistance and was defect
ed. Its natural course would have been
through the body, passing out over the pei
Wis. So it is reasonable theory that, npon
entering the interior of the body, its force had
been exhausted, and the internal injury. is less
than was at first supposed. All of which
gladdens as with increased hope in the con-
viction that his recovery is now only ques-
ton of time.

Letter from Fsts John Porter.


s'What terrible blow has fallen on the na
ton through the work Of that lunatic,
Guiteaui cannot too deeply express my
sorrow for the stricken President. That mis-
erable lunatic has afflicted family beyond
belief almost, and has thrown our whole
country into mourning, and now the fear is
uppermost that some other half-crazy, disap-
pointed ofice-seeker may 60 and do likewise.
Is there no way of making our
rulers safe from the assaults of
was the pulling of Jackson's nose, done in my
boyhood days, when was living in Alexan-
dria, Va, and now it has reached to murder
in two cases. dread these things very much,
and sympathize with the poor woman and
children who are by this mad act made the
innocent sufferers. he excitement reminds
me of Lincoln's death. I was then
inColorado,a and when the news OF the assassina-
ton was announced drunken beast said
aloud, Il am glad of it. He deserved TO be
killed. The crowd, melted by few hot
headed politicians, seized him and threatened
to hang him. advised some firemen stand
ing by to try and stop them. Get the man
away until he is sober and don't let
us have a second MURDER / said, in
the interest Of law and order. Because
Ieaid it, however, hotheaded radical wanted
TO hang me, and for some few days had tn be
very careful. Your friend, Senator Teller, was
present. He was the attorney for my COM
pany, but he was either too much OF a coward
or too much of partisan to raise either his
voice or his hand to stop the danger.
ssWell, God grant the President may get
well, say I, and say 1t for his country's sake.
for his own sake and for his family's sake.
Having gone through trying ordeal myself,
I can appreciate the extent to which family
suffers when husband and father is even
worse than murdered. Yes, can feel for
them, and thsy have my heartfelt condo
lence.O

RAILROAD MAN KILLED.

John Shea, Transfe& Conductor fer the
Milwaukee s. st. Paul Company, Run
Down by an Engine and Fatally Nam
gled.
John Shea, brother of Michael Shea,
(who is yardmaster in this city for the
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad company
was one of the safest of railroad men.
Except that for about two years he was
member of the Milwaukee fire depart
ment, he has for twenty years been con-
tinuously in the employ of the n.
& st. p. company, and always
IN the dangerous duties about the
freight yard, without meeting an acci-
dent. Those who knew him best were of
opinion nothing worse could ever happen
to him than, perhaps, to lose thumb or
get his hand jammed. But yesterday he
was run down by an engine and so man
gled that he died soon after. He was en-
gagged in starting out freight train on
the short line road and at about 11:30
A. NJ, having just made the last coupling
of the tram he stepped backward from
between the cars and signalled the en-
gineer to go ahead. At that moment en-
gine No. Is, of the Chicago, st. Paul q
Omaha road, was backing. The noise
of starting the freight train pre-
vented his hearing the warning bell Of
the other engine, and, stepping further
back on to the parallel roadway, he was
almost Instantly afterwards struck,
knocked down and rolled over and over
under the f1re-box His body was at once
picked up, when it was found that one of
his arms was crushed and broken as if it
had laid across the track, while his body
was covered from head to foot with cuts
and bruises. He was conveyed at once to
the baggage room at the corner of Fourth
and Jackson streets, and physicians sum-
moned. But he died in about forty min
utes, without having once fully
rallied from the terrible shock.
He leaves his wife, but no children,
having lost two by drowning last year.
He was formerly yardmaster at Mime
apolis, and his death will be lamented by
many friends. HIS body was properly
taken care of by st. Paul policemen and
was then forwarded east for burial at
Milwaukee, accompanied by Mrs. Shea.
He was about thirty-five years old.
