st. Paul III furthering the far. reported
the names Of Thomas Lowry, d. Z. OSWALD,
DR.. @. !. Evans. V. q. Hush and w. h.
Steele as such committee. Mr.. Steele said
the management of the fair had grown
weary of waiting on the board, and had ap-
pointed 4 committee consisting OF j. e..
Oswald. J. c. Pillsbury ana himself. But
the board preferred to do It's own appoint
ing. and adhered to its action,
Oliver Gibbs. Jr., appeared before the
board to urge some action in reference to
allowing the states exhibit to remain at
New Orleans for the new exhibition, from
Nov. 10, 1885. to April 10, 1886. He made
a little speech setting forth the necessity as
well as the ACCESSIBILITY of such course.
II. G. O. Morrison was opposed TO it, but
urged no reasons. while Judge Atwater fa-
vored it, saying argument was unnecessary.
Mr.. Gibbs said if Minneapolis and st. Paul
would contribute So, 600 each, the state of
Louisiana would give $4,000, making a
total Of S12.OO Other parts of the state
would make up the difference needed with
out difficulty. He presented strong argu-
ment in favor of keeping the exhibit intact,
and thought it might well be used at the
American fair at London. The matter was
finally referred to a committee composed of
Judge Atwater. j. Z. Wyman, w. III.
Truesdale c. H. Pratt and e. Famsworth.
Messrs. j. B. Bassett, j. c. Reno, Isaac

mittee with thanks and appointed new

VAST Suicidel

Three weeks ago Mr.. Foreman, farmer
20 years old residing in Wisconsin, three
miles from Sake st. CroiX and Saltwater,
quarTeled with his wife. She left him and
went to her relatives near Hudson, where
she remained. Thinking she would return
lie paid no attention to her going. He
waited two weeks and still she did not re-
turn. Last Tuesday lie disappeared and
was not heard of until yesterday, when
his body was found floating in st. CroiX
lake at point called ''FiSherman's Point
or Lake Boom, - opposite Castles foundry
in South Saltwater. The body was discov-
cred by Frenehman working on the boom.
He noticed it lying between the logs and
notified his fellow lumbermen. The corO-
ner at Hudson was notified, but it was
thought that an inquest could not be held
before morning. as it was late when he was
notified. There was no danger of the body
getting away, so that post mOrtem before
morning would be unnecessary, in fact i'm
possible. James Castle, Joe Castle, Jack
Bremen and Others who were working at
South saltwater were notified and went
over and brought the news to Saltwater
last evening. Foreman, as above stated,
was farmer and lived in comfortable cir
cunstanceS. He left his house and barn

STANDING BY STONE.
The EuFlines Think He Was Sick
and Schiffnanm Won SquareIy.

and SchiffEnanm Won SquareIy.
Members of the Lurline Boat club are
very much depressed at the popular con-
structiOn put upon the termination of the
Stone-Schifmam race on Saturday. That
evening a majority of them believed the
affair lob. " but since then there has been
reyulsion of feeling, and now the club is a
unit in believing Stone honestly sick.
Stone himself said yesterday: Il was right
sick when l started. but thought l could
win and didn't want to diSappOint the 3. 900
people present. | ought not to have
rowed." Yesterday afternoon Mel Ii.
Eddy took steps to procure the affidavit OF
Dr.. Cole Of Lafayette as to the genuineneSs
OF Stones illness, but afterward concluded
To let it 90. At ; o'clock he said:
''Within the past fifty minutes I have
changed my mind and will let time bring its
own Vindication. l am sure that Stone was
sick, and know that anybody who saw him
when he was taken out of his boat would
know it. He is honest about it, and was
simply Over-cOnfident of his powers when
sick. He ought never TO have started in
the race. or else we ought to have declared
all bets off, and then had good-natured
trial of speed"
II. w. Corners was equally positive in
his belief of Stones illness. There are
times" he said, ''when you can read a
man. and l could tell Stone was honest
about it. He had the race won when the
attack came. on. Why, his muscles were
all rigid and his abdomen drawn up into
knots when we got him to the hotel. Flee
tricity was the only thing that could have
restored him, and what was given him
would have paralyZed a well man.
About bis turning the wrong buoy,
that occurred III this way. Schilfmann
had borne over toward port. and had found
Stone in that direction. Schitfmann was
cautioned about his steering, and took
turn away toward staTboard. Stone fol-
lowed him until he anne abreast of the
buoy boats, The buOyS Must be turned
from port TO starboard, and contestant may
turn his adversary's buoy, but does so at
his peril Schiffmann, being compelled to
turn the same way, could never have come
close enough to render foul immi-
nent."
Members of the club say they expect
another match between the men. The
club has received an invitation to partic-
pate in a regatta at Lake Elmo or White
Bear OH Monday next. They cannot get
fOur-oar crew ready, but viii probably send
one or two junior singles. The invitation
came from the Saltwater club.

The Iron Trade.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 1.-THE outlook in
the iron trade has not been more favorable
for a number of years than at present.
Signs OF improvement are coming to the
surface every day, and manufacturers are
beginning to cOncede that the black mantle
OF depression is being gradually lifted from
the staple industries of Pittsburg. Orders
are increasing rapidly and many mills are
running double time. The worst feature is
the existing strike among the nailers, which
from present indications does not look as if
an amicable solution of the difficulty was
near at hand. The manufacturers have de-
cided TO ignore the nailers until they accept
their terms, while the nailerS still present a
determined front in their demand for last
years scale. One thing noticeable as a
result of the suspension is the diminished
stock of spikes on hand

A Case Of Drowning.

A laborer in the employ of Contractor
Mcmillan, who is engaged in the erection
of the Northern Pacific railroad bridge
across the Mississippi river, near the foot
of Washington avenue, was drowned yes
terday mOIring. The man was employed
on one of the piers. The current is shift
and strong at that point, and while looking
into the water it is probable that he became
dizzy and fell in. All attempts to rescue
him proved futile. 1t is even alleged that
the swift current carried him beneath the
surface of the stream. and he was not seen
after by his fellow laborers. The body has
not been recovered, and a yigilant search
will be made to-day
The mans name was HOglund and he
was Finlander. aged about 10 years. He
came TO this country only a few years ago,
leaving wife and two children in his native
land.

The AnoIka Homicide.

w. F. Mirick. the printer who shot Peter
Gross at Anoka Sunday, is well known in
Minneapolis. where he has worked of
and on in the various newspaper offices foI
years. He was hard drinker and would
go on periodical sprees, which he would
proiong until he was out Of money. He is
not regarded as dangerous or quarrelSOme,
except when under the influence of liquor.
He was a good compOSitOr and would Oc-
casionally ''brace up and work indus
triously for weeks. A note was received
in this city from him last evening by one of
his friends. which is regarded as indicating
an unsOund mind. The opinion of his as
sOciates here is that he committed the muir
der when he was crazy drunk"

WORE RESOLUTIONS.
A Huge Number OF Sidewalks,
Water Mains, etc, Ordered.

The city council met in adjourned session
last evening. The first matters that We're
taken up were petitions.
A petition was received from residents
along Western avenue and Seventh street,
asking that those streets be paved with
cedar blocks. Referred to committee on
paving.
The Sisterhood of Bethany invited the
council to be present and participate in the
ceremonies Of laying the corner stone, and
the invitation was accepted.
A petition for extending Franklin avenue
was referred to the committee on roads and
bridges.
Pie standing committee on water works
reported back the matter of the measure
ment of water and the purchase of addi=
honal power for the use of the city at the
West side pumping station, and recon-
mended, after comforting with the board of
water commissioners and the Mime
apolis Mill company, that the
city pay 10 the mill company
the sum of 81, 500 for water used up to
July l. 1885, in excess of what they were
entitled to, as per their lease; also in view
OF the probable increase in population,
which will require additional power of the
Minneapolis Mill company, four extra mill
powers Of water at the rate of 81. 600 each
be leased, each of the four extra powers to
cover period of twenty-four instead of
sixteen hours per day. The report was
adopted, and, upon notion of Aid. Barrows,
the committee on water works was author
and the mill company.
IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS.
The council then passed 211 sidewalk res
Init,
works resolutions were then taken up and
adopted. ordering mains laid OH streets as
per recommendations made by the water
board, and as published in the GLOBE, and
the sewers asked by the committee on
sewers were ordered laid.
Aid. HashOw was considerably offended
because the chairman of the committee had
refused to recommend a sewer on Fifth ave
nue. south, between Second street and the
river, and therefore figured as an obstruc-
zionist, and voted against all sewer resOlu-
ti0nS.
The standing committee on paving rec
commended that Seventh street and Western
avenue be ordered paved with cedar blocks,
and resolution to that effect was adopted.
The contract for paving the alley in
block 81 was awarded to L. j. Carney, he
being the lowest bidder.

INHUMAN TREATMENT
Alleged by Wife Against Her
Husband.

Henrietta Ellis, aged &c years. yesterday
commenced an action TO obtain divorce from
Giles Ellis, aged 33 years, to whom she was
married Sept. 1, 1915, at Hornellsville, "
Y. The complaint is a verbose document
which describes the happy home which the
plaintiff enjoyed under the parental roof
when the defendant pursuaded her to marry
him by promising her his lifelong love and
affection. 4 long tale of abuse and neglect
is recited. which, if subStantiated. would
furnish sufficient cause for dozen divorces.
1t is alleged that he constantly abused and
miStreated her, threatened and cursed her,
would not allow her to see any friends, re-
fused to furnish her with clothing, and
compelled her to walk on the ground bare
footed in winter; that when she was sick he
refused to provide nourishment and medi-
cine prescribed by a physician; that he
threatened her life and at last compelled her
to leave through fear of violence. 1t is
claimed that this course of treatment has
made the plaintiff confirmed invalid.
