JAMES p. BARKER, JR., SAFE.

Announcing His Safe Arrival in
st. Paul.

His Father Receives Telegram
Announcing His Safe Arrival in
St. Paul.
Up to yesterday afternoon there had been
a growing fear that James P. Barker, jr. who
was clerk in the postofice before he accept
ed position in the branch clothing store of
Wannamaker & Co. of Philadelphia at st.
Paul, Mimi, was among the victims of the
terrible railroad accident at Rio, Wisconsin,
on last Wednesday night, when sixteen per-
sons persisted in burning car, many of
whom could not be recognized From a,let-
ter to his father, who resides at 90 Olive
street, it was supposed that he left Chicago
on Wednesday night on the train which was
wrecked. This mistake arose from an error
in the date of the letter, which was the 9th
when it should have been the 28th. A tele-
gram sent by Mr.. Barker, ST., to his son in
St. Paul was returned from the fact that he
could not be found, and as the sequel shows
he had not arrived at his destination. He
left Chicago day later than the date of his
letter, arrived at his destination and learning
that inquiries regarding his safety had been
telegraphed from this city he at once relieved
the anxiety of his relatives and friends by
the following telegram:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 81, 1886.
James P. Barker, 80 Olive street:
Was not on wrecked train. Rumors false.
Tell my wife. JAMES P. BARKER, JR.
This dispatch was received yesterday after
noon about half-past 4 o'clock and it's re-
ceipt removed a great burden from the
minds of the family, who suffered intense
anguish in the belief that a beloved son and
loving husband and father had been killed
while on his way to enter upon the response
BILE duties of an important position to which
he had just been appointed.
The many friends of Mr.. Barker and his
family will rejoice when they learn that he
was not. supposed, the victim of a rail-
road accident, but that he has reached his
destination in safety and will hereafter be
heard from as conducting an extensive cloth
ing establishment at St. Paul

MIR. Bergh victor1ous-The Jury Re-
turn a Verdict in His Favor.
The famous Welton will case was brought
to an end on Saturday at 2:45 p. M, when
the jury came in with verdict for the ap-
pellees. Very few persons were in the court
room at the time, none of the appellants
counsel being present. Clerk Anketell called
the roll of the jury and asked the foreman if
a verdict had been agreed upon. He said
there had. Court Messenger Stevens then
passed the finding over to Mr.. Anketell 1t
read as follows:
George w. Weltons appeal from probate.
APPELLEE's VERDICT.
In this case the jury find that the instru-
ment propounded as the last will and tesla
ment and the codicil thereto of Caroline J.
Welton is the last will and testament and the
codicil thereto of the said Caroline J. Wei
ton, and therefore find the issue for the ap-
pellee.
1t was victory for Mr.. Bergh. The will of
eccentric Miss Welton was sustained. MI
Dewitt presented his congratulations to Mrs.
Welton, the mother of the testatrix did
also Mr.. Doolittle. The judge ordered the
verdict recorded.
1t is not thought probable that the appel
| liant will care to pursue the case farther, and
Mr.. Bergh and his society will at once come
| into possession of the $3.50, 1000.

plenty in this city and elsewhere, although
they have insisted that the article they sold
was pure creamery" butter and nothing
else In many cases people have been duped
into paying fancy prices for what was moth
ing more than "oleo." Under the United
States law which goes into effect to-day there
is no provision made for the issuance of a
special tax stamp to cover the peddling of
oleomargarine, and peddlers will discontinue
the business of travelling from place to
place selling that article if they would avoid
liability to special tax for each particular
place where they are found thus peddling.
The peddling of oleomargarine receives no
more countenance than the peddling of

G. S. Rice, the artist, has just completed
four paintings of the prominent places on the
drives around and on East Rock. All lovers
of nature and the rustic scenes around and
about East Rock will admire these pictures.
The drawing, coloring of sky, foliage, rocks
and roads show the skill of a master hand,
and are faithful copies of nature. On the
roads can be seen parties of pleasure in car
riages, on horseback and bicycles, with their
shining ''steeds" which give the pictures a

lures were painted to order for Mr.. John

will no doubt be placed on exhibition.
