this week and its verdict is just made pub

great length, rejecting very severely upon
the brother of the unfortunate young
woman, Rev. and Banker Root, and
has added greatly to the feeling
in regard to him and the cashier, Allyn
Warner, whose alleged refusal to cover
their mutual shame with the mantle OF mat
rimony was, it is said, the Immediate cause
OF the suicide. The verdict finds that
she believed herself to be pregnant as
result of her relations with
Warner, and intimates that possibly she
was not mistaken, although the hasty
post mortem examination decided other
wise. 1t states that what took place in the
interview with her brother was the
elimination of her agony and dis
pair, rs only known to said Her
bert Root, who has a tiyal In

She would not meet her brother again, and

HURON, April S.-The city council has at
last given permission to E. G. Belknap to put
in a drinking fountain at the corner OF Da-
kota avenue and Fourth street. The council
has been debating this action since last sum-
mer and have received some very severe
criticism for the refusal of the generous offer
by Mr.. Belknap. 1t is now asserted that the
cause of the disappearance OF Mrs. Stew en-
son, noted in the GLOBE some time since, was
that her husband failed to properly provide
for her and her children. -. From two to ten
teams can be seen in any direction sowing
wheat and oats In the great black fields that
surround Huron. The weather is
perfect for such work, and farmers
are faithfully improving the time. The pro-
prietOrs of the new brick yards are busy
with large force of men putting the ground
in order and erecting buildings preparatory
to the commencement of brick-making. Sew
eral unsuccessful attempts to make good
quality of brick from clay found in this vi
cinity have been made at considerable out
lay of time and money, but the new COM
pany claim to have found excellent clay near
the river banks short distance below the
dam and expect to be able to furnish first
class brick for some of the new blocks
to be erected here this season. d. .Carpen-
tiers are the busiest of all mechanics
in Huron. The large number of buildings
now in course of construction furnishes
abundant employment to carpenters as well
as plasterers and painters, and the work has
scarcely yet begun. In fact there is q de-
mand for laborers in any capacity at good
wages. IF some enterpIising firm would
come to Huron and establish foundry and
machine shop it would receive liberal pa
tronage. This is an industry which Huron
sadly needs, and would attract trade from
surrounding towns, there being nothing of
the kind within q hundred miles of here that
can do any kind Of work in this line, except
the Northwestern car shops located here, and
the work is done there merely to accommo-
date those who cannot wait to send their re-
pairing to Sioux City, WinOna or elsewhere.

GEN. TOW EfRADY.
Opportunities Destroyed by Prevail
ing Business Methods.

f. A. Burr's New York Letter.
1t is singular how men who have held
high places in life fall by the roadside. 1
saw Gen. Tom Brady to-day at the AstOr
house. A friend Of his tells me he has
been poor ever since the star-route trials,
in which he was prominent figure. He
has been at the downtown hotel where l
saw him ever since last July, hanging on
by the eye-lids, waiting for something to
turn up. 1t has been a marvel TO many of
his friends how he has lived. Yet in this
metropolis il is easier for a man TO get
enough to eat or drink than in any other
place 1 ever knew. For a year Brady
has stayed at this hotel, until people
have begun to wonder whether or not he
had entirely lost his grip on business life.
His friends tell me that be is upon his feet
again. and has Just sold his interest in a
railroad franchise running from GAINESVILLE
to the Ohio river. The same people who
are interested in him say that he is now
going TO leave New York and go
down to Westmoreland county. Viz
GINA, where he has a fifty-acre
farm, stretched along the east coast.
Here Gen. Brady, who was n good soldier
and successful politician, is expected to
forget the injustice Of men and the history
of speculation that followed the war of
which he was part. The star-route trials
and the romance of politics, which they
revived. are becoming ancient history.
Whether Brady was guilty or not is not
a question for discussion now. If he
was, other men who shared the
same view Of politics as himself were
accessories before and after the fact.
Brady was power in the every heart of
the speculative era, and he grew very rich
in playing stocks. Once he was a large
holder of Bell telephone securities, and one
of the boldeSt operators on the street. 1t
cost him all that he had made by hazard to
keep out OF the penitentiary, and when he
was declared by jury mot guilty. he was
comparatively poor man. If he has made
few thousand dollars and will
go down in Virginia and become q
quiet citizen the country will soon
forgot the scandal that is attached to his
name. Brady has grown gross, very gross,
within the last few years, and his face is so
broad and fiabby that il is almost forbidding.
Here is man with fair instincts and great
opportunities who has been DESTROYED by
the business methods of the present era.
How lonesome he will be down on Ethe
Virginia shore, spending the most of his
time gathering clans.

If there is to be a division, however, the
