found that the immense lumber yard adj

The destroying element had gained great

prevent It's further spreading, and that was
what was accomplished at the present writ

they are practically under control, and a
portion of the fire department has
returned to quarters to await the

THE PROPERTY DESTROYED

was of the best class, being clear and a
major portion being flooring. Mr..
Storm as well as others con-

place the amount of lumber destroyed at one

average $50 per thousand, making total
loss of some $50, 200. Mr.. Storm holds in

placed the insurance. Yesterday he sold

THE CoRoNER,s INQUEST.
UnmistakabIe Evidences Of Strych.
nine Poisoning.

The coroner's inquest in the case of the
sudden death Of Michael Fidler was con-
tinued yesterday afternoon. Several wit
nesses gave testimony, but none of much
importance save the physicians. Cora, the
1O-year-old daughter of the deceased, re-
turned home from school for dinner and
found her father i'll. The dinner was on
the stove. She spread it upon the table,
The repast consisted of meat, bread, po-
tatoes and coffee. She and her sister ate
none of the meat because it was Friday
Her father ate of the meat. She had been
back in school but q short time when Mrs.
Dillingham; came and summoned her home.
saying her father was very sick. She found
him PROSTATE on the kitchen floor. The
doctor was called in and at about 5 o'clock
he died.
Richard Wren, a neighbor. testified to
being present during the mans sickness.
The deceased had told him that he had
swallowed whole glass of whisky.
Dr.. G. NJ. Scribner, the attending physi-
clan, testified to the symptoms. He had
supposed it case of alcoholism and treated
him for such. Had no idea that strychnine
poison comprised any of the elements of
the case. He prescribed morphine and
cloral.
DR.. Charles Simpson. who together with
Dr. w. P. Spring had conducted the post
mortem examination, gave the post mortem
appearances of the body. He found con-
gestion of the brain, and Of the other vital
organs, conditions which might have re-
suited from various causes. He
found quantity of fluid and
solid matter in the stomach,
and to determine whether or not there was
poison in it, On Saturday procured kitten
and injected teaspoonful of the liquid into
it. Soon after the kitten became uneasy,
and then it was seized with cramps and
spasms, dying in about thirty minutes. A
like experiment was made upon dog. A
teaspoonful of the fluid was injected hypo-
dermic ally and in a few minutes the dog,
which had been securely tied, manifested
exceeding pain, followed by severe spasms,
and ultimately by death. This convinced
the doctors that the fluid contained strych-
nine poison. The jury found that Michael
Fidler came to his death by strychnine,
probably taken accidentally.
POSSIBLE POINTER.
Coroner Hill states that he has been in
formed that an East side druggist sold a
quantity of strychnine to an old man and a
young man, who said they wanted to kill a
dog. One said he lived in ST. Paul and the
other in Minneapolis. A few days later the
man who claimed to live in this city re-
turned and purchased ten more grains OF
strychnine, and it is thought that Fiddler
was the man.

tinue Retailing to Consumers.
The Retail Grocers' union held we'll
attended meeting last evening at the rooms
of the produce exchange. The committee
appointed at the last meeting for the pur-
pose reported that they had visited the COM
mission men and jobbers and presented to
them the request of the retail grocers ask
ing that they bind themselves to hereafter
sell no goods to consumers, with the eXcep-
ton of the West and Nicollet hotels. All
signed but the following, who wished fur
ther time in which to consider the request:
Anthony Kelly and Dunham& & johnson,
Jobbers; Beeman & Potter, Longfellow
Bros, Woodward & Co., commission mer-
chants. 1t was stated that objection was
made to the West and Nicollet houses being
exceptions to the rule, and the reason given
was that it is beyond the power of the
grocers to control them, as they can buy
GOODS at Chicago on the same
terms as the wholesalers, and it
is best to permit the wholesale dealers to
sell to them if possible 1t was decided
also that the wholesalers should be allowed
to sell supplies for lumber camps. The

The Conservatory of music of this city is

and not for revenue, it did not come within
the intent of the license ordinance. After
ward, by formal vote, a gratuitous bureau
of intelligence was ordered established.
Mrs. O'Neal objected to including women
in the work of the intelligence bureau, in
which she was seconded by Mrs. Lindley,
who argued that several respectable women
now made their living by conducting
women's intelligence bureaus, and this
would be, taking the bread out of their
mouths. Mrs. O'Neal finally came out and
said that central women's headquarters
was being established and would attend to
the women, which disposed of the matter.

R Dads and Bridges.

The council committee on roads and
bridges held lengthy meeting yesterday
afternoon. The engineer appeared before
the committee to have the question de-
cided of keeping suspension bridge paved.
The street railway company protests against
paving between their tracks again although
they paved the space originally. The COM
mittee will ask the city attorney for legal
advice.
The question of building the stone arch
bridge over Bassett's creek on Third street
was discussed. The contract of the orig
inal contractor had been annulled, and the
question arose as to whether OF not the ma
terials the contractors had put in were of
any value to the city. The engineer thought
they could not be utilized. On this ground
it was decided not to release the cOntrac-
tors bond until it was definitely known
that the materials so used had been paid
for.
The proposals for furnishing the city with
pine lumber were opened, and owing to
their irregularity they were referred back
to the bidders to be rewritten SO as to con-
form to the new specifications as per the
advertisement. It seems that some of the
lumbermen had bid according to last years
specifications.
