ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Inquest on the Remains of Albert Nelson
Who was Kicked by a Horse.

An Inquest was held at the rooms Of
Guthunz & Rockstroh yesterday afternoon
on the body of Albert Nelson, who was kicked
last Monday. AT the time of the un happy
accident, the deceased was engaged in a
controversy or quarrel with another hack
driver named Edward Kicker, particulars of
the affair having appeared in yesterdays
issue of the GEoBE A number of witnesses
was sworn at the inquest, the testimony go
ing to show that Nelson had entered Ricker's
stall and that the latter had ordered him out.
A dispute followed when Kicker attempted to
force him from the stall, and in so doing he
fell and was kicked by the horse.
James Brennan testified that his attention
was attracted by loud talk between the men,
and that on going to see what it was about
he found Nelson under the horses feet.
John Lynch testified to the same facts, and
Jerry O'Brien testified that he had found
Ricker's bride in his feed box, going to show
that when Nelson entered the stall Kicker
was in the act of bridling his horse.
Edward Kicker then testified that he was
about to hitch up, when Nelson entered his
stall and said that he would slap him in the
jaw; that he, Nelson, then grabbed hold of
him, whereupon witness showed him away
from the stall. Before he knew how it hap
pened Nelson was under the horse Witness
and the deceased had never fought and had
never had any trouble before.
Dennis O'Brien testified that he heard Nell
son start for Ricker's stall and that hot words
followed between the men. Several other
witnesses were sworn but no additional light
was thrown on the affair.
The jury acquitted Kicker and returned
verdict of accidental death. Kicker was re-
leased from custody.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Time

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Times.
The new secretary of state is said to be a
good hand at cooking terrapin. He is a
better hand at eating it. Along with the cpl
curean dish he loves wine-good generous
wine. When he did indulge in anything
stronger while in the senate it was at the
same bar over which Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay had their toddies handed to them.
Hancock's Old Curiosity Shop, on Pennsyl-
varlia avenue, near Thirteenth, was famous
resort of the statesmen of fifty years ago.
The same bar-room that listened to the call
of the great expounder of the constitution
for an s'apple toddy'' or ''gin punch" is
still there, and the same old corner, where
the immortal Daniel used to sit in big arm
chair while he quaffed the unadulterated
liquors of our grandfathers, is affectionately
shown to the visitor. Into this old tavern
you could of late years see Bayard, Butler
of South Carolina and Pendleton vending
their way almost any nice afternoon after
the adjourn ment of the senate to gel one of
Richards famous smashes. Richard is a
bright mulatto who was the bar keeper at
Hancock's when Webster and the older
statesmen visited there. He is now bald
headed grandfather and keeps the drinking
saloon and restaurant underneath the Senate
chamber at the capitol. There is no deceit
in Richard, if he is wealthy, and l imagine
that it must go against his sense of propriety
to hand out drink of whisky in the bottom
of cup placed in saucer in order to make
the animated believe it is cold tea; yet he is
doing it. 1t is expectec that Hendricks will
reappoint him, and he has the influence of
the secretary of state and many Democratic
and Republican senators.

A Couple of Tramps Cabbage Keg of Beer
and Enjoy Picnic---Other Cases.
They sat by the river bank but they didn't
hear the music of its ripping flow, for they
were engaged in the swinish undertaking of
trying to punish keg of beer which they
stole from an adjacent brewer. They were
simply pair of lazy tramps, and they were
doing their level best to get away with the
fermented joy as matter of principle. Sud-
denly blue-coated myrlnidon of the law
bounced down upon the lair and their dream
of bliss was DER. The rascals were before
hizzoner yesterday, and they gave
the names of James Wilson and Ed
Harris Wilson went out for thirty days,
and the latter was sentenced to pay only 80.
Charles Collins and Mr.. Crane had some
trouble, and the latter had his old classmaJe
yanked for disorderly. The bone of conten-
ton was blacksmith shop, which Collins
had bought of Crane, and the trouble was
over It's possession. Crane testified that the
accused had called him tough names and had
threatened to put pick into his heart. Not
taking fancy to this kind of jewelry he
brought Collins to account The court
placed him under bonds to keep the peace.
''Wait till the clouds roll by, Jen nie," sang
the merry bailitf as gentle Jennie and
William Foster were arraigned for disorderly.
The parties live on Arlington heights, and
the complaint was made by one Phillips, and
there was swarm Of witnesses. 1t proved
to be dirty neighborhood row, and the court
reprimanded the whole caboodle.

A Great Gang Going Abroad.

One of the most distinguished business
and pleasure parties which ever left st. Paul
steamed out of the union depot at an early
hour this morning The party consists of
Alexander Barclay, Esq, originally from
the Fejee Islands, but more recently private
secretary and envoy extraordinary to the
Hon. p. II. Kelly, and f. E. Rice, Esq, the
assistant superintendent of the Pullman
Palace Car company. The party is not
numerous, it is true, but numbers are en-
tirely unnecessary in being distinguished.
Mr. Washington has been distinguished for
some time, but there never was but one of
him, while there are two of this crowd. The
fact is that Mr.. Barclay had charge of Mr..
Kellys political correspondence during Mr..
KS absence, and told so many whoppers
that he has concluded that his health needs
recuperation in very distant atmosphere.
lnveging Mr.. Rice into his society
Mr. Barclay sailed out of the
union depot this morning three
sheets in the wind The reason there were
only three was that they were all the sheets
he had, and one of them was his night shirt.
Mr.. Barclay gave it out that he was bound
for Victoria Vancouver's Island, and that
his business was seeking pleasure. Those
who know him. best believe this story the
least. Under the plea that he would need
them in 'fishing," Mr.. Barclay carried with
him pair of huge rubber boots, the tops of
which come up to his chin, and he will have
to split his backbone If ne ever puts them on.
1t was noticed, however. that the boots, like
ocean steamships, were divided into water
tight compartments, but, as no one was ever
known to get tight on water, the suspicious
smell of corn and rye, which oozed out
of the toes, created the suspicion that
Mr. Barclay was determined to have some
thing tight on the trip There is little doubt
Of his success in that direction. 1t is be-
lieved that he has in reality gone TO tender
his wariike services to Gen. Riel and to en-
deavor to induce that warrior bold to transfer
his campaign to Afghanistau or Washington,
both of which places contain plenty of savage
people at present. Barclay evidently does
not care to meet the people he has been
writing letters to unless he has an army at
his back. He's slick one, but his equip
meut indicates that his trip win not be boot
less

Il Hero In. His Teens,
From the Detroit Evening News.


About 1915 this morning as spirited
span of horses belonging to Williams Bros,
liverymen, were standing on State street,
they took fright and bolted. The driver,
VIM. Williams, who had got down to open
the door for Mrs. Ellen Lane, was knocked
down and cut under the eye. The horses
galloped at a terrific gait along State to Girls
void street, then down to Lafayette, swing
ing westward on that avenue. Several posts
and wagons were encountered on the way,
one of which carried door from the hack.
Just as they turned on to Lafayette avenue,
a 14-year old boy, named Ed Kurtz, ran into
the road to stop them. They were coming
so fast, however, that he concluded to let
them pass, but as they went by he saw Mrs.
Lane through the window, who called to him
to save her. Quick as flash the brave little
fellow jumped for the end of the hack, man
aged to catch on to something and after hav-
ing been dragged nearly block he climbed
up on the springs. Thence he managed to
make his way over the roof of the hack to
the box. bringing the flying team to stand
near Cass street. Mrs. Lane, who is an old
lady and mother of Lane Bros. the plumbers,
tainted when she was lifted out but soon re-
covered and was sent home.
As some recognition of Kurtz's plucky act,
DR.. w. r. McLaren, who saw it, gave him
$40, to which DR.. II. Z. Smith added a dollar
and man in the crowd quarter. The boy
saws that the hack struck q wagon near
Wayne street and swung clear around, nearly
throwing him Off 1t struck another rig a
little farther on. KurtZ's action is described
by those who saw it as one of the bravest
deeds ever witnessed in Detroit.

THE DECORATIVE CRAZE.

Choppin1- Bo,rls and Butter Paddles as

Chicago Herald.
''No, sir; can't sell you a chopping-bowl
or a wooden shovel, and If you are ever go
ing TO want anything in our line you had
better buy it now and lay it away until you
do want it. don't know what they'll take
to next; perhaps it'll be wash-tubs, though
doubt 1t, and water-pails, and-well, there's
no telling where this decorative craze will
stop. Why, only the other day | saw in the
Exchange for Women's Work, one of my
butter paddles masquerading in new suit
of gliding, guady ribbon about its throat,
and He is Risen placarded on its waisband.
Now, what on earth butter paddle had 10 do
with the resurrection, or where its appropri-
ateness comes In as an Easter Offering or
ornament, l dou't know, and only woman
suffering from the decorative craze can give
you any idea on the subject"
The speaker was the salesman In wooden
ware establishment in the business portion
OF Chicago The listener was friend of
reporter, whose wife, having at last caught
on to the latest craze, wanted the wooden
SCOOP shoves to bedaub with lacquer gliding
and aiorn with water-colors on the scoops,
after which she intended tying red ribbon
about the neck of one, and blue one on the
neck OF the other, and placing them at the
sides of the Fireplace. But the scoop-sbovels
were not to be had. The woodenware man
expected consignment from the factory in
a few days, provided some female decorator
did not break into the freight car and get
away with them in transit. So 1t was also
with chopping bowls. Some housewife, who
was less acquainted with the compromising
of hash than she was WITH painting and the
like, one day took her eboppiDg-bowl into
her studio, and in due course of time it re-
appeared clad in the raiment Of gigantic
PLAGUE, mounted upon a queer-looking
easel made for the purpose. 1t took, and
forthwith the women Of the country have
been running mad after chopping bowls, and
II they cannot get them they take wooden
shovels. Perhaps the woman of the butter
paddle could get neither.

Several people are wondering why some
thing isn't done to realize on the only ap-
preparation made by the last congress for
| the benefit of st. Paul-the important item
secured by Senator Mcmillan in the sundry
civil service bill, appropriating $4,000 "for
| the completion of the public building for
Quarterm aster's and commissary's depot at
| st. Paul, Mimi, to be used as offices for the
officers of the department OF Dakota"
This appropriation was for the furnishing
| and heating of that costly and substantial
| piece of architecture already erected at the
corner of Second and Robert streets, one of
the best built structures in the city. The de-
! sign was to bring the business part OF Fort
Smelling post directly into St. Paul. That,
and nothing more nor less. But, although
the building itself has been done for some
time, this generous provision of congress re-
mains almost entirely untouched. No steps
have been taken for furnishing or equipping
it throughout, and making it what it was
mainly put there for-the headquarters and
business offices OF the department. OF
Dakota. The building was meant for
more than a barn or warehouse,
bnt these are the only uses to which the little
part of it now occupied is put. 1t is to the
great and imm ediate interest of st. Paul that
this valuable property should be devoted to
the purpose for which it was designed, and
for the mplishment of which such large
sums of government money have been ex-
pended Besides, st. Paul gave the ground
and has a right to expect the building to be
occupied. It is not widely appreciated by
the people how much benefit this move will
be to the city, both socially and
in a business point of view; in
population, money and other adjuncts,
our merchants will be much the gamers by
the closer contact and the actual centering
here of the subsistence department, while the
city at large will receive an addition OF sew
eral hundred more people, and those OF
desirable class. 1t seems to be matter emf
nently proper for the chamber of commerce
to take hold of and protest that no further or
unnecessary delays take place. 1t is sup
posed that thewish to move into town is gen
eral among the officers of the post although
it receives some opposition from several of
the highest in position.

AS an exponent of the spirit of burlesque
that permeates the foibles and follies of man
kind in this latter part of the nineteenth CEN
fury, Nat Goodwin is a success, and, as a sa-
tire on the greatest of modern nightmares or
distempers, 1.-THE Roller Skating Rink" the
new play now in progress at the Grand, is
simply immense. In his illustrations of the
roller rink craze the playwright has seized on
great many vulnerable points, aud the
sketch boils over with happy hits, but in be-
holding the performance one cannot help but
think of several points, which have been left
untouched, wherein the fecund and jocund
fancy of the writer might have let itself out
to its full length.
The audience that greeted Mr.. Goodwin
and his company last night was large and
fashionable, and the very enjoyable enter
tainment was greeted with the utmost en-
thusiasm and applause. The play will be
given at to-day's matinee performance and
the engagement closes tonight.

A THRILLING RUNAWAY.
A Span of Horses Attached to Hack Con-
tanning Bridal Party Create a Big
ShnSAtinn


The pedestrians on Third street about
1890 o'clock yesterday were the witnesses
to one of the most thrilling runaway acct
dents that has ever taken place in this city,
and that no lives were lost is considered al
most miraculous. About the hour named a
team of horses attached to hack in charge
of John Valentine, and containing bridal
party who were heading for the union depot,
became frightened at Seven corners and
started to runaway. The animals plunged
forward at terrific rate of speed and soon
got beyond the control of the driver,
aud after reaching the down grade at Bridge
square they became altogether manageable.
At this juncture the position of both the oc-
cupants and the driver of the back was most
critical, but the latter heroically maintained
his perch and succeeded by deft manipula-
ton of the ribbons, in partially guiding the
animals. Third street at this hour was
crowded with vehicles and the imminent
danger of not only one but a dozen catas-
trophies may be imagined. The mad and
terrible flight of the runaways was witnessed
with feelings of dread by hundreds of citi-
zens, but the only accident that occurred
took place in front of P. II. Kelly's store at
Sibley street, where the team collided with a
barrel of pork and knocked it silly, The
mad flight of the flyers was continued to the
Third street railroad crossing, and it was not
till Daytop's bluff was reached that they were
finally gotten under control. About half
hour afterwards the victorious hackman and
his bridal party, all safe and sound and too
late for the east-bound train, passed the
Merchants hotel, and as they did so the party
were greeted with round of hearty cheers
by the large crowd that had witnessed the
fight. 1t is stated that after the horses had
been stopped in their mad career the bride
groom, instead of giving the driver $50 for
saving their lives, actually berated him and
threatened suit for damages.
