EMILY II. RICHARDSON.
She Makes Affidavit RefIecting oil
a ~. Paul Attorney.

The curtain fell in the probate court YES
terday over the matter of the estate of
Fred w. Braden, and with its fall expired
the last hope Of the assumed wife's obtain
ing even a remnant of the estate. There
was general absence Of the promised de-
vel0pmentS which We're expected to prove
I the lady'S right to the title of Mrs Braden.
and n cQnSpicuOus lack of evidence to show
there WITS an unlawful claimant in the field
at all. This, if Mr.. Bliss MINNEAPOLIS
legal light, were excluded. Mr.. Bliss stated
that he represented Mrs Braden. but that
was about all. The collapse of the Who'll a
matter was brought about by concise. com
prehensiye and readable affidavit made bv
Mrs. Emily 3. Richardson and submitted
by MeSSTS. Officer IL Squires. counsel for
the rightfuI heirs.
\ WEIGHTY DOCUMENT.
IN this affidavit the deponent saws that
she is the same person who. under thename
Of Emily 3. Braden, filed petition in the
above entitled court ON the 29th day of lime
1885. for letters of administration on the
estate of Frederick w. Braden. deceased.
Her husbands name is Thomas \. Richard
son. and she was married to him al High
gate, London. England, June "a. 1871. and
has never been divorced. They came 10
America. There We're three children. all of
whom are now living. The affidavit con-
tinueS:
J first met Frederick " Braden about two
years and half ago. There never was any
marriage ceremony between said Bradt.n and
myself. There never was any agreement
either by me by said Braden that we should
be married, except that he once said if had
& child by him he would marry me. I have
never had any children by said Bradcn We
lived together for about two and IA half years
and during that time Travelled considerably.
Said Bradeu always spoke of me and intro
dueed me as his wife. On or about the I'd
Gay Of December, 1854. j made an affidavit.
which is now in the possession of Mr.. L N.
Snow OF st. Paul. Mimi, that
was not married to said Braden.
This affidavit was made to settle
any questions about the title TO real estate

and contains that famous herd of twenty
elephants. The circus performance is one
of the best of its kind, the interest of the
spectator not tagging from the grand entree
TO the last race of the hippodrome. Every
canvas show has new feature on each
trip. Forepaugh's, this year. is Madame
Kabowls, lady of great daring. who falls
backwards from the top of pile of tables
turning somersault and lighting on her
feet. She usually goes no higher
than twenty-five feet to perform this
act, but yesterday she fell from
thirty feet high. 1t is a thrilling
sight. The double trapeze act of
Dunbar and Vernon was also very inter-
esting display of nerve-in fact it may be
stated to be as good as any ever given under
canvas. Adam Forepaugh, Jr., has his
elephants trained 10 wonderful degree of
perfection, and the glove fight between him
and the pachyderm he calls Sullivan was
most amusing. The riding was as good as
there is going, but of course no one expects
anything new in this line any more The
hippodrome which concludes the perform
ance is an interesting display of horsefiesh
making very fast time under difficulties.
Altogether Forepaugh's circus this year is
head and shoulders above anything given in
this line in the CITY heretofore

kee via Ashland. Nothing was agreed

The Rock Island considers itself absOlved
from any tacit agreement to refrain from
connecting with lines in Northern Dakota
and Minnesota. The Manitoba and North
ern Pacific roads have heretofore mOnopo-
lied the traffic, but will have to divide it,
as all the Northwestern lines are consider
ing the policy of invading Northern Da-
kOta, and the commencement of work on
one line will induce others to follow suit.

County Board Meeting.

The board of county commissioners met
yesterday afternoon, the committee APP
pointed 10 consider the bids for alnshouse
heating and plumbing making an oral re-
port and referring the whole matter back
10 the full board. The bids were found TO
contain specifications for every variety of
iron and steel boilers, and the committee
thought the subject OF heating the new
building should be more fully considered.
1t seems that bids were called for without
any knowledge of just what was required
and best adapted to the service. a reSolu-
ton was therefore passed rejecting all bids,
and authorizing the county auditor to send
circulars to all the stean-heater compa-
MES in the twin cities. The circular will
be drawn by the architect, and will specify
just what the board wants, and the bids
therefor will be received up to Tuesday.

proper officials should borrow money, at a
rate not exceeding per cent, for the carry

The valiant Six hundred.

The ordinance adopted by the city council
at the meeting on Tuesday evening touching
the license question is, in the main, similar
TO the one recently adopted and intended to
cover the same points, The objections in
the former ordinance. however, have been
covered and it is expected that the present
one will receive the official signature as
soon as presented. The present ordinance
restricts the issue of licenses in the city to
GOO, exclusive of persons doing a wholesale
business. The ordinance specially indi-
Gates that II shall not be construed as mOdi-
flying or in any way affecting the power of
the mayor TO revoke licenses. The adop-
ton of the ordinance will at once prevent
the issue of other licenses. as at the present
time there are 6l7 licenses held in the city,
OF this number about fifteen are by whole
sale dealers; so there are at present two
more than the law allows. The number
will be reduced to 600 as licenses expire. or
the occasion arises for revOking them.

Little had Meat Here.

'There has been some importation of in
fected cattle into st. Paul" said DR.. Jones.
city health officer, last evening to GLOBE
reporter, when asked if there was danger
that such animals would come here if they
passed the Chicago stock yards. as dis
patches from Chicago indicated was the the
case. But there is little danger
that diseased animals can pass
the eye of the inspector at the Minnesota
Transfer" he continued. mot only is
every car load received there examined by
the inspector, but each animal in each car.
so thorough is the inspection. Shippers
from other points seem TO know this and
there is little attempt made to put in
fected animals in the market. During tbe
last month only about 1.400 pounds Of dis
eased meat was found at the Transfer. and Is
decrease from preceding months. AS no
cattle or animals Of any kind for slaughter
can be brought here except through the
Transfer. there is no cause for any fear ON

Horse Killed.

Mr.. D. D. Merrill lost a horse on Tues
day evening under peculiar circumstances.
His two boys and his daughter were out
driving OH Summit avenue, near the Bur-
bank house, when the wheel broke and the
horse got loose from the wagon, partially
upsetting the vehicle and throwing the
children out. Neither of the boys was i'll
jured, but the little girl was considerably
bruised, though not seriously. When the
horse found that he was free from the We
hcle he started down Summit avenue ON a
run. On reaching point near Nina ave
nue. the horse attempted to jump a sewer,
and instead of getting across fell into the
opening and there died in consequence of
injuries then received.
