A Body With Sinker About the Neck


A Body With a Sinker About the Neck
Attracts no Attention.
There were no developments yesterday
concerning the death by drowning of
George Fletcher at Pigs Eye. Coroner
Davenport has received no notice of the
finding of the body and as yet has taken
no action. AS reported in yesterday g
GLOBE, the body was found last Sunday
by man named Henry Crappel.
The latter states that there was clothes
line about the neck with rock at the
end of it. There is q well founded re-
port concerning Fletcher's death which
favors the theory of foul play. Last
week man formerly in his employ Wis.,
tied this city and asked how to collect
ten dollars
He was highly incensed, stating that
Fletcher owed him $40 for rafting, and
that if he didn't pay it soon he would
take the worth of it out of his person.
The same man is said to have remarked
to another acquaintance that if Fletcher
didn't soon pay him he would put a rope
around him and sink him in the river
The case will probably be investigated

At $50 yesterday morning the Metho-
dist Ministers Institute convened again
at the First church, this city.
The number in attendance was between
forty and fifty ministers, besides the
members of the church and other visitors,
who have been drawn together by the at
tractive array of talent and the interest
ing themes for discussion.
Bishop Foss conducted devotional
exercises for half an hour in
very impressive manner, after which
the programme was carried out as here
tOfore arranged.
The object of the meeting seems to be
a mutual exhibition of mental wares and
consequent improvement.
The discussions were at times very
racy and some of the brethren seemed to
handled free lance. +.
The first theme discussed was "Proba-
tion After Death," by Rev. David Tice,
of Saltwater. Mr.. Tice presented the
usual view of the orthodox church
and seemed quite able to hold his own in
answering the conundrums which were
propounded.
Rev. Levi Gilbert presented breezy
view Of the preachers relation to free
thought. The reverend gentlemen
thought that only an intelligent faith was
permanent or useful. The paper was
written In facinating and forcible style
Rev. MIR. Bilbie, of Anoka, read an es-
say on the Administration of Disci.
pline. During the debate Bishop Foss
made some timely remarks.
Then came Rev. T. M. Gossard, on the
"New Testament Idea of Conscience -
If the prevailing opinion of those who
followed in debate can be trusted, Mr.
| Gossard will have to amend his plead
ings, SO to speak, on this great subject.
At this point the meeting adjourned
| and it is to be presumed that the clergy
refreshed themselves with q square
meal; for they returned tc
THE AFTERNOON SESSION

sued over paper presented by Chaplain
Wright on the Temperance Question
DR.. Wright took. rather conservative
view, holding that temperance people
had better be sure they are right and then
go ahead. This attitude stirred up tht
temperance stalwarts, led on by Revs
Davis and McClary. These gen
tlemen were informed by another
gentleman thatN every Methods
clergyman was straight on this question
The matter then subsidized, and everybody
went on tranquil as before
After this came paper in sharp con.
trast to the preceding, on the Ideal Par.
ish, by Rev. j. W. Martin of Mankato
Rev. ]. F. Chaffee presented stately
and elaborate discussion Of the somewha
abstruse and ponderous subject, Evolu
tion.
Rev. DR.. John gave his views of th'
Pastoral Term, which closed the after
noon's exercises.
The evening session was devoted to a
lecture by the Rev. G. NJ. Heard, O
Z Winnebago City. The theme-Wha
and how to Read-was one of interes
to everybody. 1t was handled in brigh
ana sparkling manner2 that was great!

Mrs. Adam Grubb, 23l Walnut street,
has been great sufferer for number of
years from extreme pain in the feet,
something like. rheumatism. She was
also very much troubled with corns and

that she could walk, and sometimes when
she would visit her husbands shoe store
or any of her children, she could not get
home again without assistance, and often
when she was walking along the streets
she would be seized with such acute pain
that she was compelled to stop in at the
neighbors on the way until she got bet

general discussion in the city to-day. The
opinions OF some citizens on the event are here
with recorded:
Jos. Fl. Choate, of the law firm of which

formed of the resignation of Senator Conkling:
"I am very glad to hear 1t" A friend of
Choats's who called while. the reporter was
talking with him when informed of the news:
cans throw up my hat because the ceiling
is too low. But just consider that l have
done it. 1t is the best news | have heard in
years.
William Dodge Jr., said; The news is great
surprise to me, and of course cannot express
an opinion off hand. I do not train with
the followers of Conkling, and there
fore am not bowed down by this
information. 1 can form no idea what Conk-
ling's motives in thus sending in his resigna-
ton were, but I think the general feeling
among the people of this State will be one Of
gratitude
President French, of the police board, who
returned from Washington late this afternoon,
said Conkling's determination to resign was
fully discussed Sunday. No other course was
left, he said, to convince the country that Mr.
Garfield and his advisers have not the sentiment
of the Republican party in this State behind
