There is one feature in the election of
Nelson which is not very pleasant to con-
template. It makes the race issue living
factor in all future nominations in the
present Fifth district. Nelson was run as
Scandinavian, and as such he got the al
most solid vote of that race. They con-
sidered no other issue. He was Norwe-
giau and they voted for him on that
ground alone. They would consider no
other issue, and the men who nominated
Nelson and who bolstered him through the
campaign knew what they were doing.
They were certain that he would have a
solid Scandinavian vote as lever to lift
him into power and to break any OPPOSE
ton, however strong. He had a tre-
merdous advantage in the large vote of
his countrymen, and with this as a starting
point, his managers felt confident that
they could secure the few votes of other
nationalities necessary to give the requi-
site majority. Now see what follows. No
man can be henceforth nominated in this
district for congress who will not be ac-
ceptable to the Scandinavians. They have
learned their strength, and know that they
hold the balance of power. They can
and will dictate the future nominees. and
the district will be practically under Nor
wegian domination for some years to
come. They may not always demand that
Scandinavian be nominated, but they can
Insist that no man be put up for Office
Wlom they, as nation, dislike. This is
the result.

A CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT.

BY Which a Young Couple Have all the
Honors of Percentage Without its An
nOyances.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 21.--A case of slowing
not wisely but too well" has just come to
light, the guilty parties being children of
respectable and worthy residents. For
over year Paul Hermann, aged seventeen
years, son of Frederick Hermann, has been
intimate with the eldest daughter of a
neighbor named VIM. Tophoeven. The
young lady is but seventeen years of age,
is well developed and exceedingly hand
some. Although suspecting nothing wrong
or improper in the growing
intimacy between the unfortunate lovers
the parents of the girl, owing to the
youthfulness of the pair, objected to her
keeping company with the boy. This only
served to make matters worse, and many
stolen interviews resulted. The sequel to
these clandestine meetings became ap-
parent several months since, when the TEL
rible discovery was made that Miss
Tophoeven was soon to become a mother.
It was the intention on the part of the
young mothers parents at first to prose-
cute the youthful father, but being 10th
to give publicity through the courts to the
unfortunate affair, they changed their
minds. Then it was suggested that young
Hermann be compelled to marry the girl.
but this idea was abandoned, as the boy
only earns So week. The two families
have decided to let matters rest. Young
Hermann does not deny the parentage of
the child. The boys father says when
Paul attains his majority he can marry
the girl if he desires, and in the mean
time he is willing to contribute toward the
support of the child.

Death Of the Largest Man in Milwaukee
Nearly Quarter Of Ton in Weight.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 21.-John Herzer, the
largest man in the city, who weighed 1856
pounds shortly after his death, was buried
at Forest Home cemetery this afternoon.
Herzer lived on the West side, and died
yesterday morning at an early hour. He
became so fleshy that he literally choked
to death. The largest coffin in the city
was procured, but it was too
small, and the remains had
to be placed in large, hastily constructed
box. Decomposition set in so quick that
the body had to be removed from his late
residence to the cemetery few hours after
death. Herzer was only twenty -eight
years of age When he was sixteen years
old he was very slender and it was feared
he would become consumptive. He was a
blacksmith by trade, and was SO large he
had to be taken TO his work in an express
wagon for several months previous to his
last illness. For SON time past he could
not lie down to sleep for fear of smother
ing, and would sleep sitting on chair or
sofa with his head resting on his bed.

AS Used with Telling Effect Yesterday--Two
Men Seriously Injured.
Yesterday was bad day for bloody af-
trays, three fight or assaults having taken
place, two of which are considered very
serious and may prove fatal.
The first assault took place on Missis-
sippi street about two blocks this side of
the bridge, about o'clock yesterday
morning. About the hour named
VIM. H. Fleming, mechanic,
residing near the bridge,
left his home for the purpose of going TO
butcher shop on Mississippi street. In
proceeding along the street he passed the
residence of a family named Quinlan, in
whose house there had been dance Mon
day night, which lasted far into the morn
ing. When opposite the house, Fleming
came to halt for the supposed purpose
of watching some boys or young men who
had overturned wagon standing in front.
of the house, the sport being intended as
joke on one of the fiddlers at the party.
who owned the rig. Quite /. number of
folks came out Of the house and the owner
OF the rig made fuss about his wagon be-
ing overturned, which resulted in some an
CRY words. During dispute that fol-
lowed man named Dennis Casey had
some words with Fleming, and before any
one knew it Casey struck the latter over
the head with an OAK club, telling him to
the ground and making ugly cut. The
| wounded man was conveyed home and Drs
| Murphy q Quinn were summoned. At
last accounts he was unconscious.
| aid his case is considered critical.
| Casey is an engineer on the Manitoba road
and he left for the north yesterday morn
ing. He Will be taken into custody upon
his return.
SIZE RAISED HIS sCALPLoCK.
I'll e other serious assault grew out OF
| one of those unhappy domestic broils be-
tween man and wife, but in this instance
singular as it may seem, the man
got the worst of it.
The parties to the affair are hLr. & Mrs.
Owen Finnerty, and they reside on Fifth
| street, in the Sixth ward. The affair hap
! pened about O'Clock yesterday after
| noon, and was the result OF an angry dis
pute about domestic matters. It seems
| that Finnerty is of a quarrelsome
l
to severely reprimand his wife.
At any rate, they had red hot dispute at
dinner time yesterday, and the racket was
renewed after the meal had been finished.
Bad words were exchanged and during the
recrimination Mrs. Finnerty became pro-
voked beyond her temper, and Selling a
handy Ratchet she dealt her iege a whack
over the head. The man was laid out cold
and bled profusely. Drs. Stewart and
Wheaton were called, and he was removed
to the city hospital. The wound has not
been diagnosed as yet, and it is impossible
to say just how bad he has been hurt, but
t is thought the injuries will not prove
anal.
Since the above has been written Mrs
Finnerfy has been placed under arrest and
the unfortunate fight is said to have been
| brought about over dispute concerning
the management of their children.

THE IRON INTERESTS.

No Depression at Philadelphia, and No
Prospect OF a Cessation or Diminution of
Work.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-The Philadel-
phia iron and steel men do not believe the
reports from the interior and west mean a
general depression in industry. Every roll
ing mill in the city is running on full
time, and there is no prospect If a reduc-
ton of wages or working time. At TIE
monthly meeting of the proprietors of the
rolling mills of the city yesterday, the
price of iron for the ensuing month was
fixed at 2 $40 cents per pound, reduc-
ton from the last fixed rates in February
of 2-10 of cent. According to the sched-
ule of wages agreed upon in 1878 between
the manufacturers and workmen, the re-
duced price of iron brings the workmen's
wages down 5 per cent. This reduction
will go into effect the first Monday in De-
cember.

Fires and ShipwrecSs.


PROVIDENCE, Nov. 21.-A fire occurred
this morning in the Calender building, a
brick structure situated between Sabin and
Cove streets, which resulted in serious
loss of life. The building was four stories
high and occupied mostly by jewelry shops.
The fire originated in the workshop of
Charles T. Melvin, dyer, in the middle
Of the building on the the third floor, and
was caused by the ignition of ten gallon
can of naphtha. The room was filled with
light, inflammable clothing and the wood
work was dry as finder. The room was
next to the stairway, and before word of
warning could be given escape by the
stairway was cut off by the flames. On
the fourth floor is the worksho of William
n. Robinson & Co., gold chain makers.
The firm employed forty operatives,
equally divided as to sex. When the flames
swept up through the floor the employees
made rush for the windows. There was no
fire escape on the building, Apanic ensued.
Just across the alleyway, about fifteen feet
wide, at the end of the Calender building,
was two story wooden structure. the end
of the building fronting on the alley. Tbe
twenty feet below the window stills, where
the excited girls were congregated. The
persons in the rear crowded and
pushed those in the act of jumping, and
many fell short, and others were injured
By being jumped upon after they
nh Nto
dead are: Emma Gassett,
aged thirty three, and Bessie Cobb. Both
these girls struck the ground between the
TWO buildings, and died in few minutes
The injured are Ma ry McFarley. She
jumped from window and fell on a picket
fence She was terribly injured and can
not survive. Mary Harry, Della Gassett
Emma Mathewson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs
Cuddy, all these are young women and all
are probably fatally injured. Some were
carried to their homes and others taken to
the Rhode Island hospital III an ambulance.
Thos. Mann fell short of the two story
building. He bounded against it and fell
to the ground. HIS injuries are one arm
and one leg broken. A man named Miller

leg broken. Geo. Grant of the firm of Jos.
Grant & Co.. jewelers., jumped from the
fourth story window to the roof of the
wooden building and had leg broken.
Geo. Clark, employed by Jos. Grant & Co.,
saw the fire and tried in vain to extinguish
the flames, and finally had to run for his
life. One man, name unknown, an en-
ploye of Grant & Co., hung from tele-
phone wire until the fire department ar
rived. The ladder pushed to him proved
five feet too short. A fireman mounted to
the top and caught the workmen in his
arms. Loss on building and stock, $780,

Nelson's Plurality.
TBrainerd Jourpall


Nelson's plurality figures up over 1000.
There is no doubt that at least tho sand
votes cast for Nelson were fraudulent, but
as he evidently has small plurality of the
votes honestly cast, there will probably be
no contest for the seat. It is well known
that good many Scandinavians in Otter
Tail and two or three other counties were
voted who had not been in the state the
time required by law, and large amount
OF repeating was done also. In case Of a
contest for the seat several voting precincts
In Nelson's strongholds could be thrown
out, but probably not enough to change
the result.

A LlbeIlous Detroit Barber Soundly
Threshed for Maligning Two Young

Threshed for Maligning Two Young
Ladies'.
Especial Correspondence to the Globe
DETROIT, Nov. PA few days ago our
usually quiet town was considerably ex-
cited over thorough sensation which oc-
CURED in our midst, the principal parties
being haif-witted barber and two young
ladies of responsibility and intelligence.
The circumstances are as follows: Two
tramps half-crazed with liquor, stopped at
the barber shop carried on by the barber
above referred to, and inquired for house
of ill-fame, when the puppy of barber
directed them to the house of one
of our most respectable citizens, where
they at once went, and finding their mis-
take they left at once, feeling very much
chagrined. AS soon as the young ladies
found out the name of the person who so
foully wroDged them, contrary to the
wishes of their father who wished to take
the benefit of the law on the worthless
scoundrel, they proceeded to infiict sum-
mary punishment on the knight tonsorial.
They purchased a good raw hide each,
and went at once to the BARRIERS shop and
applied them with vigor and agility.
The barber squealed at once
and Justify yelled FOR help, after which tho
ladies left him to reflection, and chew the
bitter cud OF repentance. The barber be-
ing advised by some of his few friends
had the young ladies arrested for assault
and battery, with intent to do great bodily
harm. They were tried and found guilty,
and fined SIS each and costs, amounting to
S59.95, which was paid by our generous
hearted citizens, who believe in protecting
the vlrtuous and think that the young ladies
did right in protecting themselves from
the attacks of such ours.
