KILLED BY STREET CARS.
A Little Girl Rum Over and Crushed
Beneath the Wheels

Yesterday Johanna, the little two-year-
old daughter of Layers johnson. residing
at No. 2405 South Twenty-fourth street,
was playing in the street when a street car
came along. The child attempted to cross
the tracks, and fell down, and before the
driver could set the brake and stop the car
the front,wheels had passed over her. kill
ing her almost instantly. The body was at
once removed to her home, and the coroner
notified. He visited the scene of the acci-
dent, and after investigating all the facts
obtainable, directed Undertaken Connolly
to remove the remains to the city morgue
for the purposes of an inquest, which the
coroner will conduct at 10 O'Clock.
Regarding the responsibility for the
shocking accident there seems to be diver
sity of opinion. Some claim that the street
car driver is guilty of fragrant carelessness,
while others allege that he was in no wise
blamable. This the inquest will probably
determine, however.

NUMEROUsLY WORKED.
A Brace of industrious F0rgers
Fleece Minneapolis Victims.

1t has been some time since Minneapolis
people have been excited by the manipula-
tions of clever forger. Yesterday, how
ever, the public was agog with the pecula-
tions OF a pair of forgers whose operations
were numerous if not extensive in the yari-
GUS amounts involved.
Thomas G. Blaine is said to be the name
of the principal, while his associate in the
trickery was fellow named G. II. Carroll
The denouement of the affair denotes that
they have a liking for the allurements of
the vaudeville associations On Wednesday
Blaine forged 3. II. Helen's name to
check for $50 on the First National bank,
payable to J. B. Mack. Getting it cashed
at the bank. they visited the Theatre Colnique
where they had a happy time, sort
OF blowout, making the ac-
quaintance of Manager Brown, winning his
confidence to that extent that he accommo-
datingly cashed check for S26, payable to
j. b Mack, which name Blaine had as
suIned for convenience in his peculating ca
reer. Spending the money so obtained
pretty literally for an hour or so, the two
departed, subsequently visiting J. E.
Booths saloon on Hennepin avenue, where
their operations were successfully renewed.
II. Sherwood, the binder, was the next
name taken up and forged to due bill for
$3.50. Booth accepted it and also cashed
check on the Merchants National bank of
st. Paul for SIS for Blaine, who again
signed the name of J. B. Mack, and a
check On the First National bank of Min
neapolis for SIS for Carroll
1t did not take Mr.. Booth long yesterday
morning to ascertain that neither had cent
in the bank, and that the bank officials
knew no such parties. The matter =es
promptly reported to the police and subse-
quently Carroll was arrested, but Blaine
was not found 1t is surmised that he
skipped for Winnipeg.
Since the above was written Blaine has
been arrested, consequently both parties
are in custody. B. III. Helen, one of his
victims, happened to meet him on the
street, and following him up quietly,
pointed him out to Officer West, who took
him in

lister of deeds of Godfrey's Bridal Veil
block, located in lot 2, section so, town 80,
range %, on the st. Paul and st. Anthony
road. A plat of the village of Excelsior as
resurveyed by George Cooley in 1882, was

and the plat was adopted by the village
council in pursuance of special act of the
legislature.

The Wholesalers Will Meet the Ne
taiIers ON Middle Ground.
The retail grocerS in Minneapolis, as Is
well known. have banded themselves into
species of protective union, the one object
of which seems to have been to induce
wholesale and commission men from selling
to consumers. Many meetings nave peeh
held and a thorough organization coln-
pleted. part of which was the appointment
of committee to confer with the Whose-
salerS. The produce exchange has, Tor It's
part, considered the matter and III Dfief
agreed TO meet the retailers ON middle
ground. To meet the committee from the
GrOcerS' union it appointed committee
consisting of E. G. Potter, d. W. Longfel-
low. L. J. Grinnell, j. V. Slayin and A.
NJ. Woodward. The Market Record. speak
ing authoritatiyely from the commission
men, has this TO say:
The Grocers' union. that perfected an or
ganization few weeks ago to protect the
interests of retail grocerS, has entered upon
ali aggressive campaign. About the first
thing in sight that, in the opinion of the
Grocers' union, needed Strengthening out
was the practice of wholesale grocers,
wholesale fruit and produce dealers and
commission merchants selling direct to con-
sumerS. This was the head to be hit, and
the union appointed a committee to hit It.
The committee embodied the idea of the
grocers' union in the form of an agreement,
and armed with this formidable document
proceeded in a body, calling successfully
upon the different members of the whole
sailing department for their signatures, bind
ing the wholesalers to religiously sell to re-
tailerS only. A few signed, but many de-
clined to barter away the inalienable right
of an American citizen to do about as he
pleased Yesterday well-attended meet
ing of the produce exchange was held for
the purpose of considering what to do with
the Grocers' unions demand. A committee
was appointed and that committee instructed
TO meet the committee of the Grocers' union
and demand of it action that would keep
the members of the Grocers' union out of
the wholesalers field. Retail grocers are
in the habit of getting c0nsignments from
the wholesalers customers whenever pos
sible, and with these same cOnSignments de-
-moralize the markets. Now the whole
salerS' committee will say in substance to
the retailers committee, You walk on your
side of the fence and we will keep on our
side, but if you send your skirrnishers
within our lines, don't blame US if we forage
inside of yours.

Serious Accident.

Yesterday morning Miss Laura Stott,
seventeen-year-old daughter of Mrs. S. L.
Stott of a1S Eighth street south, had ter
rible accident. which narrowly escaped
fatal result. She was coming down the
front stairway when her foot caught in the
carpet, precipitating her headlong down the
stairs. In the fall she struck the banister
rail and was thrown over it, striking her
head on hat-rack. The several blows
were each terrific and she was found lying
unconscious on the floor. Her face was
frightfully cut in several places and she re-
ceiyed serious bruises about the body. With
difficulty consciousness was restored and
last night the young lady, though suffering
intensely, was in a fair way to recover.

ENDICOTT,S VISIT.
The Secretary of War Arrives at
12:4Oa.A Public Receptfou

Gen. Rosser, Hon. E.. M. Wilson and
Col, McClory yesterday went to Fort SMELL
ing and extended an invitation to Secretary
Endicott to visit Minneapolis. to-day. The
invitation was accepted but the visit must
be of necessity very brief, as the secretary
and his party this evening will return to
Washington. The following are the ar
rangements: The party, consisting of Secre-
tary Endicott, his wife and daughter, Gen.
Terry and family, will arrive on the motor
at 1910, and alighting at the Fifth street
crossing will go at once to the West hotel
where a luncheon will be served. At 3
o'clock an informal reception will take
place in the parlors, when the secretary
will spend short time receiving those who
may call, A short drive around the city
viii conclude the visit, when the party will
return to Fort Smelling to prepare for their
home ward journey. 1t is regretted that too
little time is allowed to show the secretary
the beauties of Minneapolis, but it cannot
be helped, as it is only owing to an un-
expected change of program that the visit
to Minneapolis is rendered at all possible.
