The State of Minnesota VS.. Henry Rheams.
Syllabus-HomicIde is not justifable rs en-
act of self-defense from an assault threaten
ing bodily harm. If IL is apparent to the per
son assaulted that the threatened injury may
otherwise be avoided, as by retreating. Evil
dence upon the other indictment for murder
considered as showing that the killing, as an
act OF self-defense, was obviously
unnecessary. Evidence deemed legally
insufficient to show a Justification.
A charge TO the jury 70 that effect had not er-
ror. Berry, j., dissenting.
1t is the duty of the court to declare the
case to the jury in criminal as well as in
civil cases. Whether the evidence has a ten
dency TO prove any fact in issue in a criminal
case is for the determination of the court.
Not so as to the right of evidence. The or
der refusing new trial is affirmed, and the
cause remanded TO the district court.

The Milling Situation.

The promised shutdown of the mills has
come, and yesterday found but three small
-four makers in operation, producing but
l, $50 barrels per twenty-four hours. The
Market Record says: What the eventual
result will be no one is now prepared to
give a very satisfactory opinion. If a
change takes place in the relative positions
of wheat prices in the West and flour prices
in the East of sufficient Importance to pay
the advance in rail freights, mills here will,
of course, be started again. OF that there
is no immediate prospect. Such orders as
may be received for flour as will pay will
be accepted and the orders filled. A few
of these are now ON hand and account fol-
the movement of the three mills at work to-
day. This closing of the mills involves a
heavy cost to the owners, and was the re-
suit of no whim, nor was it done to influ-
ence speculative prices in Chicago, as has
been so often urged by people that are in
position to know better. The cost entaled
in closing is below the cost of running, and
that is all there is of it.

A NEW BOULEVARD.
A Connecting Link TO be PROPOSED
at the Next Meeting.

Connecting Link TO be Proposed
at the Next Meeting.
At the meeting of the park commission
on Wednesday next, President Loring Will
present proposition contemplating ladi-
cal addition to the park system. He has
for weeks devoted much time and attention
to securing a boulevard system encrcIng
Lake of the Isles. He has received liberal
concessions from the property owners. LII
connection with this system, MI. IhomaS
Wilson, who is plating an eighty and
forty-acre tract Just south OF helgan S lake,
has proposed to donate land Tor communal
ton of the boulevard from the Lake OF the
Isles to Prospect avenue ana Dy improving
the latter avenue Prospect park Will be
directly connected not only with the Lake
Harriet and Lake of the Isles boulevardS,
but with the Central park. The new boule
ward will cross Prospect avenue at Sixth
avenue north. and will run past the McNair
estate Mr.. Wilson, it is also stated, will
devote. in addition to the boulevard drive
way, forty-acre tract for new park. The
land is so situated that it can be converted
easily into one of the most beautiful parks
in the city. 1t is only about two miles from
the Nicollet house, and has natural scenery
and many springs similar to the lnglewoOd
and GIenwo0d springs. The connection with
Lake Harriet will be made near the juno
ton with the Richteld road on the north of
Lake Harriet Thence it will run direct to
the shore of Lake Calhoun and on the in
side of the motor line, which it will cross
with neat bridge, around to the east bank
of Calhoun, where it will branch off to the
shore of Lake of the Isles. The driveway
will then be built on the shore similar to
the Harriet boulevard, the lake. which is
not deep, will be dredged and the mud taken
out will be utilized in fitting up the drive
way. The islands in the center of the lake
are covered with beautiful natural shrub
berry.
This will do away with the proposed Nc
Nair boulevard, arrangements for which
were only partly consummated at the death
of Mr. McNair. and is considered far more
desirable in that it makes better connec-
ton for the two parks, Prospect and Cen
trail and the boulevard system.

THE STEVENS CASE.
Found Guilty of Technically As
saulting Minnie Brewer.

The testimony taken in the case brought
against Ed y. Stevens by Minnie Brewer.
charging him with an assault and battery
upon her, was reviewed graphically in these
columns the morning following the trial in
the municipal court. Yesterday the argu-
mentS were made before Judge Bailey.
Stevens summed up his own case. He had
evidently gotten over his excitement. In
fact. in view of the crucial test he has been
put to before the police commission. he has
become Injured to severe ordeals. He re-
viewed the evidence adduced by the prose-
cution and argued that he could not have
made an assault, in that he merely at
TEN, ted an arrest of Minnie Brewer and
Mabel Mitchell at the order of the mayor.
Mr.. Jordan, the attorney for the defense,
spoke briefly but pointedly, alleging that
Stevens had no right to attempt an arrest
without the party being placed under arrest
was found in the commission of an offense
OF upon a regular warrant.
Judge Bailey found Stevens guilty of an
assault. but suspended sentence. In so do
ing. the court stated that there was no
doubt that an assault had been committed,
because it was not shown that he had a
right to make an arrest.

Irish Cloth for Minneapolis.

A movement is on foot in Minneapolis to
import a lot of Irish tweeds and introduce
them among the people of that nationality
in this city. In speech recently delivered
by Parnell at Drogheda he urged the Irish
to support home manufactures. citing the
tweeds of Cork. Navan, Athlone and Con-
voy, which he said would repay their price
twofold in wear. Timothy Seaman. mer-
chant at Monaghan, has made arrange
ments with George O'Sullivan of Mime
apolis to send lot over here on trial. The
American tariff is so per cent. and the
English proscriptive duty is so per cent on
such goods, but they can be made into a
suit here at an average price of S3S. Mr..
Seaman says he thinks Parnell will induce
the new parliament to remove the tyrannous
duty, which will make the price much less.

result in fatal accident last night. He
was found ON the tracks at the crossing
of the Northern Pacific railway on

had been severed above the knees bya pass

Railroad Accident.

Yesterday stranger was seen approach
ing the Fourth street crossing of the Man
itoba road on the West side by a fiagman,
just as switch engine was flying up the
track. The stranger was seated in sulky
behind fine looking horse. The fagman
endeavored to stop the man, knowing that
a collision was imminent, but the man drove
on with apparent Inconsistencies Of all
danger. Just as he got on the track the
switch engine came upon him, striking the
horse and throwing the man a dozen feet Oh
more. The man got up, viewed the pros
trate and mangled horse and demolished
vehicle, and without word hobbled off,
leaving the horse to die. The attention of
Capt. McCraney was called to the accident,
who sent an officer to shoot the horse and
so end the sutferings of the beast. The
horses hind legs were broken and badly
mangled and his back was broken. No one
knows who the driver was.

have retained him on the force and not have
permitted him to save him (the mayor

the matter now stands. Stevens is presented
to the public as practically acquitted by the

post was held last evening for the purpose
of enjoying program not set down on the
bills. Jacob Barge opened the ball by pre-
senting to the post a fine engraving of Far
ragut at the passage of Forts Jackson and
ST. Phillips, below New Orleans. Com
mander Roberts responded on behalf of the
post, and addresses were made by Dr..
Ames and DR.. Keith, bearing on the sub
ject of that battle. An interesting episode
here took place. Robert Stratton. recently
from Indiana, was followed up by pack
age from his old post, which, when opened,
proved to be a beautiful set of emblems,
with which his manly bosom was quickly
decorated. Musical selections were given
by DR.. Pratt and Miss Norton and by the
Case family. and the meeting adjourned.
In fact it was rudely broken up by gross
pun by Jake Barge. They were talking of
the navy, with gunboats and pontoons, an d
this gentleman remarked that he could say
something about a Barge. This broke the

night and the two performances on Thanks

matte work. Keene was at his best, and
Miss Vaders. as Lady Macbeth, received al
most an ovation.

gagement will end tonight with Richard

UNPRECEDENTED RUSH.
Seats for the Boston Ideals were put on
sale yesterday morning. and it is doubtful
if Minneapolis ever saw such an extraor-
binary demand. They came early and a
regular crush ensued, not a moment passing
throughout the day without finding large
group at the ticket Office. The aggregate
sale last night was nearly 81, 500, which is
something phenomenal, and the manage
ment expects it to reach $4,000 by this
evening. No company of artists is so popu-
lar at Minneapolis as the Ideals, and their
engagement next week will be wonderful
success. They have taken st. Paul by
storm and will duplicate the victory here.
