The brakemen are ordinarily compelled to
take great risks upon life and limb, but
none so great as the danger of slipping
from the tops of ice covered cars beneath
the wheels. The injury of brakemen from
these ice covered cars is daily occurrence.
Yard Master Duncanson, of the Minneap
oils Eastern, testified last evening that it is
not the duty of any emPloye to keep off
the snow and ice, and that it is
never cleaned OFF at all, but
allowed to remain until it is melted off by
the action of the sun, which in Minnesota
means an occurrence very seldom in
winter. To an outsider it looks much like
homicide fol railway company to know
ingly permit such state of affairs to

THE CORONER's INQUEST

UDOn the ReBtuiILs OF Charles FinHe1dR,
Killed by the CGrs-Tte Finding Of the
,Jury-The Railroad Company Not Found
Responsible.
Last evening the coroner held an inquest
upon the remains of Charles Finnegan, the
hapless victim of the fatal railway acct
dent which occurred upon the Minneapolis
Eastern railroad, on the river bank below
the suspension bridge on Sunday night
about II o'clock.
The following jury was impaneled:
Ar. Brandt, R. L. Whitney, Milton
Pickett, P. NJ. Mark, E. G. Cady and A. j.
Berry,
DIR. A. A. AMES
was the first witness called. He testified
that the deceased was brought to his hos
pital at about midnight on Sunday in a
conscious condition, but fatally injured;
heard the deceased say nothing respecting
the manner in which he had been injured;
the witness described the injuries he
discovered upon the body of the deceased,
who died at about 2:30.
The engineer, fellow brakeman and fire.
man on the train upon which the accident
occurred, testified respecting the accident.
The fireman
SAW F1NNEGAN FALL
from a top of car between the two hind
cars in the train of nine cars. He at once
called the attention of the engineer to the
fact, and the latter blew whistles for
brakes. When the train had been
stopped, the fireman and brake
man searched for Finnegan
and found him beneath the hind trucks of
the last car in the train. They extricated
him from this with much difficulty, his
clothing having become entangled in the
brakes of the car. The deceased said he was
mortally injured He was conscious and
said he had slipped from she top of the
car. They took him to the Ames hospital
where ne died two hours later,
1t having been reported by Finnegan's
friends that the running board" the fat
board on the top of the freight
cars upon which the brakemen walked had
been split. and that this had occasiOned
Finnegan's fall, the coroner called Yard
master DuncansOn of the road to testify
respecting the condition Of the car. He had
not examined the car until yesterday
when he found that 2 corner of the run
ming board had been broken of. He had
been informed by Joe Gavin. an employe
in the yards, that he Gavin saw man
kick of that piece of board on Monday
after the accident. The man VINO broke the
board had circulated the story that the
broken corner had occasioned the accident.
The yard master stated that the cars were
all covered with snow and ice, and that any
man is liable to slip and fall upon this ice.
1t is uot the business of any one to keep
OFF the snow. It is always allowed
to remain until it melts of.
DR.. r. J, Hill testified to conducting the
autopsy on Monday afternoon, and de-
scribed the injuries received by the de-
ceased. In his opinion the shock resulting
from the injuries we're sufficient to coca
sion death.
At the conclusion of the evidence the
jury found verdict in effect that the de-
ceased came to his death from accidentally
falling from the car and being crushed be-
meath the car trucks.

Syracuse, N. Y, dispatch. &c thu
One of the sadaest tragedies ever enact
ed, in this community was that of this after
noon. when Miss. Inogene Lewis, respect
ed and beautiful young lady, net her death
instantly from tae premature discharge of
ae< lovers revolver. She had but tine tQ
address q Few ieviag words to her aet-ota
ed before breathing hex last, Tie partic-
ulars of the sad affair az learned this even
ing, are contradictory 70 rumors that were
rife earlier in the day, whenit was noised
about that it was case of murder. Miss
Lewis lived in Diamond street, and had re-
ceived the addresses of Mr.. George W. Gates
for soma time, and their wedding was an
nounced for the near future. Preparations
of an elaborate nature were already under
way. This afternoon Mr.. Gates called on
Miss Lewis, and, at her solicita ton was re-
arranging some evergreens about the chan
delier. He had mounted step ladder and
was engaged with the decorations, when
80 caliber revolver fell from his out side
coat pocket, and IN its descent struck the
ladder, and one of the chambers exploded.
Miss Lewis was standing near, and the
ball struck her in the neck. She fell to
the floor, but before Mr.. Gates could reach
her. arose, but only to fall into his arms
with the remark :i"Oh. George, you have kill
ed me! you have killed mer' He supposed
her exclamation was caused by fright. and
endeavored to quiet her; but she pointed
to the bullet hole in her neck and asked for
her smelling salts: She was able to walk
be settee, but expired itnmediatly. Mr..
Gates was frantic with grief, and rushed
into the street like mad and gave the alarm.
To the coroner whe was summoned, he said,
between his sobs, I loved and cherished
the young lady, and she perfectly worship
ed me.n When ask9d concerning his prac-
tice of carrying weapon, be said; Il
have not been accustomed to carrying :.
revolver. On Sunday I started for drive,
and slipped my revolver into my Outside
coat pocket, and it remained there untiE 10
day, when this terrible cata@ opf1. has
overtaken me-" No one was IN TIA room
at the time of the tragedy, but Mr.. Gates
account OF the affair Is fully credited.

No Exomluotion OF Tho nccor,Is.

In the petition of the New Process Fer
montation company of Chicago, praying that
their counsel may have free access to the
ceedings Of another applicant, and that said
application may not issue until petitioners
counsel shall have examined the record and
the commissioner announced his decision OH
their objections, the secretary of the interior
has made his decision. He says my opin-
ion is that the rule forbidding such exami-
nation is such u one as the statute author
ICES the department to make, and for that
reason has the force and effect of law. 1t is
founded upon just ideas of propriety, and has
for its object the the protection of applicants
for patents. 1t prevents undue extension Of
Jurisdiction by the Office and the intervention
of persons who have no interest, in the legal
significatiOn Of the word, in the questions
submitted to you for determination. So long
as, in the Judgment of experienced OK
perts detailed to conduct the business of the
patent Office, II pending application does not
interfere with another application or with an
existing pateut, and they virtually decide
that on the face of the application no reason
appears why the patent should not issue. A
stranger to the record can have no such in
forest as would warrant his intervening so far
as the patent Office is concerned. If his
rights, however, were concluded in that office,
| am not prepared TO say that his allegation
of interest might not warrant consideration OF
his claims rs Il rival inventor This has to do
with the rule itself"
In conclusion, he says TO the commissioners
must decline to direct you TO permit the
counsel for the Fermentation company to have
free access to the records in the patent office,
and therefore deny the petition"

AN OLD MANS IDEAS.
TO He Editor,


The writer is a republican of good standing,
and was voter long before Mr.. Cannon en-
.ioyed that incstimable privilege. In the in
terest of that economy (all too late) seems to
actuate our dear party, he Is willing to bear
his full share ofanything for the best interest
of the government. The writer is u govern
ment clerk, one who believes he gives q full
equivalent for the wages paid him. There is
a general feeling among the public that gov
ernment employe has soft place-good pay
and little work. Quito tho contrary. As u
rule the clerks in the Offices here-at least
nine-tenths of them-earn their wages by as
hard and honest labor rs do any class in the
country. OF course there are drones and
sneaks in Office here, and, as these fellows are
usually the blatant ones they are taken rs
representing the eSperit of the service. Nothing
could be more erroneous.
Mr.. Cannon and his committee seem to
agree with this belief, else why increased
hours and obstruction an loss in the manner
of payments?
These clerks, as WHOLE represent the best
elements Of tho country. They are gentle
men, not inferior in education and refine
ment to the Legislators who make laws for
their government. The majority of them are
men of families, whose salary ranges under
$1,000, and the restrictions proposed by tho
committee mean that they shall pay 10 to 15
per cent. more for the necessaries of life, or B
to 10 per cent. per month for loans from d
money broker.
Seven hours q day in a hot Office, year in
and year out (save thirty days vacation),
without the ebb and flow of business attend
ing mercantile and manufacturing pursuits,
is quite work enough for the pay received.
There are more important things demand
ing the attention of the republican party than
adding an hour day to the work of the
clerks. NOT GRUMBLER.

his department, and they do not require
physcan's certificate to convince them of the
necessity Of the absence of tho clerk.
How is it with members of congressP Do
they have their salary deducted for every day
they are absent from their seats during tho
session. Even in the face of n law standing
on the statute books to-day, which requires
that their salary be withheld for every day
they are absent without leave, how many
such deductions are made?
How many members of the present session
of congress- consisting of only eighty-nine
days. have failed to put in an appearance at
all up to the present timer Is their pay
withheld?
Some congressman, when they desire to
make little political capital by way Of econ
omy, invariably attempt 30 do so by cutting
off a few dollars from the salaries of clerks,
when If they would turn their attention to the
extravagant waste of money on the congress
sional funerals of the past year. also on the
numerous contested seat cases, where such
fields for economy are open to them, they
would be far more successful in convincing
their constituency and the country of their
sincerity in regard to true economy and re-
form. Or If members Of congress would step
up to the captains office and reimburse
Uncle Samuel for the money unlawfully re-
ceived for services not rendered, IL would
show u speck Of honesty in the right direc-
ton.
Again, in regard TO the semi-monthly pay
mcnt of salaries, IL certainly is very great
accommodation to clerk many times as
there are instances when sickness and death
overtaSe us all or some of our families, and it
becomes necessary to have money at once.
Private institutions make weekly payments,
and l certainly see no good reason why gov
ernment clerk should not have his pay twice
n month If he desires it, j would ask if the
government is harmed by so doing. Do not
members of congress not only draw their
salary monthly, but in advance of their hav-
ing earned it2 If so, why should not the
clerk have his after he has earned it2 Is it %
sin for the latter to have his when earned
and blessing for the former to draw his in
advance2 These, Mr.. Editor, are pertinent
questions, and, with your permission, desire
to PROFOUND them to our wise solons through
tho columns of your journal in order that JUS
tice may be meted out to all.
