The Case Examinations.

Postal Clerk Perkins hopes to complete
the case examinations of route agents this
week. These tease examinations, which
have been continuing for the past two
months, are conducted by means of cards,
containing the names of towns, and a box
OF case in which are number Of pigeon
holes. These pigeon-holes are marked with
the name of the district for instance. over
one is Breckenridge district, and so on
through the list Of the different routes for
which mail is made up in packages. The
clerks undergoing examination distribute
the cards into the various compartments,
and the chief clerk goes over the work to
test the accuracy. Ninety per cent. is the
lowest that is allowed to pass To properly
place each town in the district to which it
belongs requires a good deal of geographical
knowledge on the part of the route agent,
and he must also be well acquainted with
the time cards of the various roads, in order
that in the event of his train missing the
usual connection he can send his mail by
another route and thereby save all possible
time in transmission.

where he came from or what was the cause
of the act, are matters yet to be discovered.
The suicide occurred shortly before 10
o'clock last night on RoSabel street
on the platform in front of
the Northern Pacific Express office.
At that time Driver Joe Cook, who was in
the office, heard revolver shot near by and
going to the door saw the legs OF man APP
parently living over one of the trucks placed
against the side of the building. He called
another man at work in the office and they
tried in the dark to move him. As he gave
little signs of life light was procured and
the man was found to have bullet wound
in his right temple. He did not exhibit
the slightest signs of life, although but
minute or two after the shot was fired.
The revolver was found at his feet. Officer
Sexton, who came up in few minutes, i'm
mediately notified Coroner Quinn of the
affair. Before he arrived DR.. Mcdonald

shooting fatal. The coroner arrived soon
afterwards and took charge of the remains.

letters bore the company's stamp on the
corner. His other possessions consisted OF
bunch of keys, a pocket knife and S3.45.
The victim of his own act was man about

a little round hard felt, in which was a
silk hatband on which had been marked
the letters ''F. J. R."

WOOLLEY AND HAHN.
A Question Of Veracity in the SUI
preme Court.

A Question Of Veracity i'm the SUI
preme Court.
The first cause coming up for hearing
in the supreme court yesterday morning was
that of the State of Minnesota, respondent,
VS.. Anthony Cantieny, the murderer of the
Minneapolis policeman, appellant At
torney General Hahn appearing for
the state and Mr.. J. G. Woolley
for Cantieny Mr.. Hahn made a
motion to revoke the former order of the
supreme court vacating the execution of
sentence in this case. in order to admit to
bail. He thought their was some mistake
or misapprehension in the matter on which
this order was obtained on the statement
that though Judge KOon refused such bail,
not thinking it within the jurisdictihn Of his
court to do so, he gave his assent to
having the matter referred to the supreme
court. This was very delicate ground to
take, implying as it did that Mr.. WoOlley
had made Misrepresentation to the SUI
preme court, but to which implication he
(Woolley) made no reply. Following up his
motion, on which no action was taken by
the court, Mr.. Hahn asked the latter to is
sue an order, which was granted, compell-
ing the prisoner to appear in the court at
$50 this morning, and after hearing on
the question at issue between Hahn and
Woolley to abide the decision Of the court,
and that in the meantime an affidavit be
obtained from Judge Koon, giving the facts
in the case. This episode caused no little
excitement at the state house and the re-
suit, which will be determined this. morn
ing, will be anxiously awaited. Mr.. Woolley
whose legal veracity was so publicly doubted
by Mr.. Hahn, evinced not the slightest dis
quietude, but after the last order was issued
proceeded to argue his case as coolly as if
nothing had happened, while the court took
it under advisement for decision after the

A Probably Fatal Accident.

An accident, which will probably prove
fatal, occurred on Eagle street between 5
and o'clock last night. A lad 9 years old,
whose father lives on Eagle street. is the
sufferer. He was playing on the street
when wagon came along. The little fell
low caught the rear of the wagon and in
trying to pull himself caught his foot in the
wheel. AS the wagon was moving along
quite rapidly he was twisted around be-
tween the box and the wheel before the
driver knew anything about it. The lad
was carried to his home and DR.. Stromb
summoned. He found that in addition to
other bruises one of the legs was very badly
crushed. At II o'clock the boy was still
alive, but is hardly expected to recover.
His father, who is German peddler of
medicine, is at present absent from home.
