IT HIT HARD.
Freaks of the Lightning About a Domicile
in the Sixth Ward.

Freaks OF the Llgh thing About q Domic1ie
in the Sixth Ward.
The electric display which accompanied the
storm early yesterday morning presented one
of the grandest spectacles ever seen in this
city. The thunder sounded like the crack of
doom, and the heavens seemed to yawn, SO
brilliant was the lightning. To at least one
family in st. Paul the fluid ceme with start
ling significance, and the slumbers of the
household were shocked by perfect pande-
monium.
About $40 o'clock A. NJ. yesterday the light
ming struck the house, or rather called on the
family of Mr.. Patrick Dempsey, residing in
the Sixth ward. The visit was so entirely un-
expected that none of the family had time to
don their clothing About the hour named a
robust stroke of chain lightning, with as
much cheek as a commercial traveller or in
surance agent, tackled the residence OF Mr..
Dempsey and waltzed down the chimney.
The lightning entered the room where the
family were sleeping, and neither Mr..
Dempsey or his wife had to be called twice.
In making its entrance the fiend took the
drum head of stovepipe and knocked it fat
against the opposite wall, tearing off the
plaster and making q most beautiful impress
sion. The terrible visitor then tackled a
picture frame and tore il to pieces, after
which it disintegrated the family clock
Following this it seized upon a compass, of
which there wasn't anything left but dial
plate and the hand.
To make matters worse the SCOT in the chin
ney took fire, and only for the exertions of Mr..
Dempsey the house would have been doomed.
After doing further mischief it skipped out
through the keyhole. The wonder is that
Mr.. Dempsey and his family remained un-
harmed.

JUDGE CORNELL.
One Of MinnesOta's Prominent Citizens
Passing Away.

One Of Minnesota's Prominent Citizens
Passing Away.
Hon. Francis r. e. Cornell, associate justice
Of the supreme court of the State of Mime
sofa, Is lying at the point of death at his home
in Minneapolis, and will probably have passed
from the reality Of this world to the uncer
the readers eye. He has been dangerously i'll
for some time past, and yesterday morning
his attending physicians came to the concla-
sion that the only hope OF saving his life was
IN performing an operation. His disease
was an aggravated case of stone in the blad-
der, and yesterday an operation to remove it
was performed by Drs. Hand, of st. Paul.
Kimball, of Minneapolis, and Fender, OF Chi
cago. Itwas discovered that an abcess had
formed in the bladder, and it was at once seen
that no hope Of recovery could be entertained.
He lapsed into state of unconsciousness
shortly after the operation, and remained in
that condition up to o'clock this morning,
when the GLOBE reporter left his bedside. He
was attended by Drs. Hand and Kim
ball, who were doing all in their
power to revive the spark of life.
They expressed the opinion, however, that he
would not live to see the light Of day. He was
unconscious of pain, and would probably not
be able to recognize any one before death.
Judge Cornell was born in Chenango county,
New York, on the 18th of November, 1921.
He graduated with high honor at Union col
lege in 1S43, and was admitted to the bar at
Corning in 1s46. In 1852 he was elected to the
Qko<o 70
county, and represented his district
with signal ability. He came to Min
nesota in the fall of 1854, and took
up his residence in Minneapolis, where he en-
gagged in the practice of law. BE was elected
to the legislature in 1861, 1862 and 1865, and
achieved an honorable distinction as an honest
and careful legislator, having been upon the
judiciary committee of the House in each of
the years indicated He was elected attorney
general of the State in 1868, and served for six
years, and after years. retirement from Office
was nominated and elected as an associate
justice of the supreme court, taking his
seat upon the bench in January, 1875. While
occupying that position he has enjoyed the
esteem of the public and the bar for Lis judicial
fairness and lmpartiality, and has been notable
for the industry which he has exhibited in
solving knotty legal problems. His opinions
have been characterized by high degree of
literary merit, as well as by profound knowl-
edge of the law. His death will be sincerely
regretted by the people of the whole State, as
we'll as by large circle of intimate friends
and acduaintances.
Judge Cornell leaves son and daughter,
both of whom are married.

RSrer Meditation.

The water was at stand yesterday at eleven
feet nine inches above low water mark.
The levee yesterday afternoon bore substan.
tial evidence of the benefit to commercial
city of being situated at the head of navi-
gable stream, especially when that navigable
stream is the grand old Mississippi, the father
of inland waters, running as it does from
the extreme northern boundary Of the country
in Minnesota to its southern boundary of
Louisiana, where it empties into the gulf OF
Mexico. In the preceding twenty-four hours
two of the through line steamers from St
Louis and below Lad arrived, both loaded down
to their guards with miscellaneous articles
from all parts of the world, to the amount oi
several hundred tons, piling both steamboat
warehouses full and crowding the levee for q
long distance on both sides. Steamboats, are
the best of freight regulators, as business men
well know.

of the Grand Pacific, of the st. Louis and St.
Paul line, and its manager here, Capt. J. 81.

st. LOUIS, about P. n. last evening, with q
fair amount of down river freight, and a

WASHINGTON, May 14.---It is conceded on
all sides now, that Robertson will be con-
firmed. All talk of any other disposition of
the case has ceased. It is understood Conger
will report Robertson to the Senate Monday,
without any recommendation; that the nom1-
nation will go over until Tuesday, when Conk-
ling, in speech, will state fully his reason
for opposing confirmation; that the vote will
be taken Immediately, without any reply to
Conkling, unless he should attack the admin
istration, which, it is stated, he will not do.
Then the Senate will ask the President if he
has more business, and whenever the Presi-
dent has no more, the Senate will adjourn sine
die Chandler's nomination will not, Sena-
tors say, consume much time.

BAD BUSINESS FAILURE.
Lawrence s Martin, Chicago. Proprietors
of"Tolu Rock and Rye" UP for Over
100000, With Doubtful Assets of Not
More than 15O,OOO-Failure of a Boston
Broker in Canned Goods for Near $780,
900 With Assets of Not More than $780,
900.

900.
CHICAGO, May 14.--Six judgments, by con-
fession, were entered to-day in the circuit
court, against Lawrence & Martin, whole
sale and retail liquor dealers, Ill Madison
avenue, for total amount of $57, ,655, in favor
of A. s. Trude, lawyer, this city; Chas. S.
Bush, New Orleans; and Michael
j. Blessing, Durfman, Memphis.
These judgments represent but q
small part of the Indebtedness, which the firm
say is between two and three hundred thou
sand. Their assets consist in patents On q
medical compound, (Tulu Roekand Rye) $780,
900; stocks of whisky, $4,000 to S5U,OUO; and
book accounts and fixtures, $4,000. Seven
banks are their creditors for considerable
house certificates They also owe
small sum in New York and Louisville
and other cities. The firm started in 1877
with 900 to $4,000 capital, which they
claim to have sunk. They have done a large
business, amounting last year to nearly half
million dollars. The chief causes of their
failure were heavy and improbable advertis-
ing of their patents, losses incurred while
running the Jocky club track and the sinking
of nearly $50, 900 in their New York branch,
which has been drag from the beginning.
BosToN, May 1O.--The Journal says whole
sale dealers in canned goods are greatly excit-
ed to-day, over the failure of S. j. B. Lincoln,
broker IN canned goods, meats, etc. The fail
ure is very heavy, the liabilities IN some quar-
ters, estimated as high as S750,000, although
one of the creditors has stated his belief that
the amount will not exceed $500, 900. Lincoln,
something like year ago, suddenly branched
out, opening an office in New York, and
going largely, into dealings with a
well known Chicago broker, engaged
in supplying the mining country with canned
goods. 1t is stated speculation is at the bot
tom of the failure and it will be impossible for
some days to arrive at anything like the cor
rect liabilities. Nearly if not quite every
and the meetings of creditors, dates not known,
promises tosbe very largely attended and some
what lively.

A Strike Quickly squelched.

When P. 81. Kelly reached his store yester-
day morning he found his draymen idle and
awaiting his arrival. The sidewalk was block
AIDED with goods awaiting shipment, and the
men notified him that they wanted more pay.
Mr. Kelly asked: "Where are your horses?"
and on being informed that they were still in
the barn notified the men to GO
into the office and get their pay and
quit. The teams and drays belong
to Mr.. Kelly, and the men we're receiving 80
per month. 1t is quite likely that they might
have secured an advance If they had proceeded
in different manner, but the first notice Mr..
Kelly had Of dissat sfaction was their refusa
to begin the work of the day. Under such cir
cumstances he did not stop to listen to their
request, but Immediately put other men In
their place, and the great business OF the
house moved on as usual.

Ne,v York Protest and Prediction.

NEW YORK, May IA largely attended
meeting of the Anti Monopoly league was
held at Cooper Institute this evening to pro-
test against the confirmation of Stanley
Matthews as justice of the supreme court. E.
L. Chittendan occupied the chair. Resolu-
tions were adopted declaring Stanley Matthews
to be Pacific railroad candidate and
denouncing his confirmation as proof
of purpose to pack the supreme
court with judges who will reverse its decision
in the granger cases. The resolutions also
view the nominations of Elliot Shepherd,
son-in-law of Vanderbilt and Hon. VIM H.
Robertson as alarming proofs of the purpose
and power of of corporate monopolies. Ad-
dresses were made by Maj. j. Haggerty, ex-
Senator Creamer and Mr.. Chittenden.
The Times Washington special says: The
general opinion of Republican Senator's is that
, the case of Judge Robertson will be disposed
of during the coming week. All idea of ef-
fecting an arrangement looking to his with
drawal has been abandoned and his confirma-
ton is regarded as certain. The

wheat market is lower, but closes little
better than the opening prices, yet with no
real strength and only a moderate business.
The outside public are so bearish that they
check any advance. Corn was rather better
with wheat, but lost the advance. We think
the receipts will not be SO large as expected on
account of the poor condition. Oats were
lower-the deal unchanged liberal.
