JUDGE Cc.2s.sN.ELL.
Death Of F. r. E. Cornell. Judge Of the 81
pr; me Court of Minnesota.

pr; me Court Of Minnesota.
Judge +. R. E. Cornell of the supreme court
of Minnesota, died at his home in Minneapolis,
on Monday afternoon, 23d inst On Thursday
evening of the 18th an operation for urinary
calculi was performed by DR.. Christian
Hand, Of St Paul and H. H. Kimball,
Of Minneapolis, hoping that the valuable life
could thus be saved. The judges strength had
been so reduced by the disease that the result
OF the operation was looked for with the great
est anxiety by the friends and family. When,
IN addition to the stone, an abcess necessarily
fatal was also found, the case became without
hope. Previous to the operation he had lain
unconscious and pulseless, and after was iasen-
sible apparently to all surrounding The sur
geon in attendance entertained no hopes of his
recovery; but on the Sunday following
was performed, Mr.. William H. Brown furnish
ing six ounces of blood to the sufferer, and he
rallied perceptively, and hopes had begun to
be entertained of his ultimate recovery. Up to
Monday morning the judge had indulged that
hope himself. He took his nourishment, and
performed all his bodily functions naturally.
About 3 o'clock that morning he was seized
with a congestive chill, which proved
too much for the already weaken
ed frame to Withstand and from that
hour he sank rapidly. About three hours be.
fore his death he spoke to his wife and said,
Il am wearing out fast These were his last
aud bic words, and about 3 O'Clock in the after
noon his spirit passed quietly away, no pain or
suffering apparent. An autopsy was held by
the surgeons, which disclosed the fact that he
interior of the bladder was completely filled
with ulcers, but that the other organs were in
perfect condition.
Judge Francis R. E. Cornell was born on the
18th Of November. 1921, in Chenango county,
New York. He graduated at Union college in
1912: studied law at earning and was ad-
mitted to the bar in Albany in 1916. He was
elected to the senate of New York in 1852 from
Steuben county and served his constituency ably,
as he did in all the public positions hs ever oc-
cupied. He removed to Minneapolis in 1854,
and has resided there ever since Judge Cor
nell held the Office of attorney general of Min
nepin county in the legislature at various ses-
sions previous to his election as Judge of the

ships. Only two counties are reported
with any general returns. One Of them,
Webster, is reported as electing Wright,
republican, to the legislature; the first
republican since 1868. Jasper reports
the, whole republican ticket elected.
The legislature two years ago stood 81
republicans to 10 democrats, in the
house; and Al republicans toe demo.
Gratis, in the senate. Indications are
that the republicans lose 2or 3 men,
bers in the house, this year, and hold
their own in the senate, with a proba-
bility Of gaining one or two.
This would give the republ' cans some
nine majority in the legislature. The
republican state committee estimates,
at this hour, the republican majority
over the democrats to be $4,000, and
over all parties $4,000. The green
hackers seem to have held their own
contrary to expectations.
DUBUQUE, Oct. 1.-THE returns are
very meagre, showing light vote in
all the northern towns. Only fourteen
towns are heard from. but all, with the
exception Of Clayton, give republican
majorities. Inthis county the democrat
ic state ticket, so far as heard from hes
a majority Of 955, with five democratic
townships to hear from. Groves, anti
amendment republican, is elected state
senator by majority of 1900. Three
democratic representatives are elected.
Waters, republican, for county treas
urer, is probably elected, with q fair
chance for Schloth, republican, sheriff.
Dies MoINEs Ia, oct. 12.-Sixty-four
counties, almost complete, give Sher-
man a majority of 1920. The re-
manning thirty.five counties last year
gave Garfield 23,600 majority. 1t is
estimated by the republicans that Sher-
mans majority will be 60,OO0. The
democrats concede 40. 900. The repub-
licans estimate that the senate will
stand A republicans to democrats and
greenbackers, and the house N re-
publicans to II democrats ane 4 green
hackers. The official count will not
vary these figures more than three or
four either way.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Oct 1.-THE re-
puhlicans elected their entire connty
ticket. The city of Des Moines gives
ali the republican candidates a majori-
ty.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 12.-Polk
county complete gives Sherman, 3,41S;
Kinne, 1865; Clark, 4S5; or total poll
of 2, ,565 less than last year. Sherman's
majority over the democrats is /, ,763;
over all, 1,278. The city of Des Moines,
complete and official, gives the repub-
licans majority of 1908. The whole
republican county ticket is elected.
Every ward and precinct in the city Of
Des Moines and every township in the
county of Polk, went republican for the
first time in the history Of the city and
county.

THE Home for Friendless Boys re-
Gently opened in New York cost $780,
600, and the entire amount was secured
through the efforts of a Catholic priest
named Drumgoole, who began the
work ten years ago, and has devoted to
it all his time and energy. A large
proportion Of the money was contrib
uted in 25-cent subscriptions, and the
absence Of large amounts in the list OF
donors is noticeable. As a rule, too
little attention is paid to the homeless
and friendless boys to be found in every
large city. With proper surroundings
nearly all of them may be made repu,
table citizens, but in the absence Of
these surroundings the descent to crime
is easy and rapid.

repairers has been attacked, and the
passengers on train saw FIVE bodies

The same train saw battle going on
between settlers and Indians, with the
former retreating in the greatest con-
fusion. The troops do not seem to be
doing anything but to beg the Mexicans
across the lire to come to their aid and

GUlTEAU'S CASE.

The case of Chas. ]. Guiteau, was
called in the United States court for the
district of Columbia, in Washington, on
Friday morning, and after the read
ing of the indictment by the clerk,
Guiteau plead not guilty. The district
attorney asked that the trial be set for
Monday, Oct. 18th. Counsel scoville,
for defendant then addressed the court
at some length, asking for time and for
the making Of provisions for paying
of the defendants counsel and wit
nesses. During the course of his re-
marks Scoville said that r. L. Merrick,
Washington City lawyer, had con-
sented to argue the question of juris-
diction; but that the points of defense
would be two: 1st. That Guiteau was
insane, and I'd. That Garfield did not
die from the effects Of the wound
received July I'd. The court gave until
November 9TH for the defense to get
ready for trial. The remarks made by
Scoville show that the defense will not
give up without q struggle. The points
Of the defense are the strong ones, and
it will be a more difficult thing to con-
vict than the district attorney has been
expecting. No doubt conviction will
be had in the end, but it is not going to
be short job. The defense will show
that insanity has existed in the family
for generations, they will show that de-
fendant's father, and all his relatives
have for years regarded him as a man
Of unsound mind, they will show by
dozens of other witnesses that they re-
garded defended as insane. In short,
the defense can present an unlimited
amount of good evidence of insan-
ity-abundance to convince any jury
had not the person killed been the pres
ident.
The second point has been greatly
weakened by the autopsy made after
the death of the president. While the
defense will have dozen, or more, o1
Bliss bulletins which state that the
president is doing well, and that his
wound is causing no trouble, and much
more of this sort of nonsense, there re-
mains the autopsy, which is far more
exact, and which shows to the satisfac
ton Of nearly all men that the p;sto
bail caused the death. The insanity
dodge will be the difficult point for th'
government to meet.

A RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE.
Tive Telegraph Operators sn the
Pennsyivania ksad Prevent : Catas-
Philadelphia Ne,

Philadelphia News.
The vigilance and promptitude Of
two Pennsylvania railroad telegraph
operators, at Cornwell's and Holmes
burg Junction, on the New York 1ivi-
sion, prevented a probable catastrophe
on Sunday. While an engine was
standing alone near Cornwell's, train
struck it, and the shock opened the
throttle-valve and started the engine
off at splashing speed down the track,
without an engineer. The Cornwells
operator telegraphed to his Holiness
burg Junction comrade, John Mead, to
open the switch, so as to throw the
engine upon the siding. The runaway
monster however, jumped the switch,
and smashed into a freight train near
Tacony, telescoping some Of the cars
and bringing itself to standstill,
badly shattered. The road was blocked
for several hours. But for the tele-
gram the engine would have kept the
west-beund track and crashed into the
Washington express, which was close
ahead,
