STILL WATERS GREAT LOSS
j. q. Townshend Succumbs to Con-
sumption.
A LEADING BUSINESS MAN.
Williams Held to the Grand Jury.
Small Talk and Personal
Gossip.

This city was startled yesterday after
noon to learn of the death of j. 81.
TOwnshend, which occurred at his resi-
dence, 432 South Sixth street, at / p. m.
He had been mill health for long time,
and had passed one winter in the south
OF Europe and one In, Mexico of late
years, but the public was not prepared
for his final demise. He has not been
at his Office for some four to six weeks,
as the weather has been much of the
time very trying to invalids of his class,
but still continued to do business until
few days since, when his brother, DR..
A. B. Townshend, of New York city,
was sent for, and was with him when
he died.
James III. Townshend was born at
Illyria, o., Sept. %, 1916, and was, con-
sequently, almost fOrty-two years of age
He was educated at the Western Re-
serve college, Ohio, but was unable to
complete his entire course on account of
I'LL health. After leaving college he
travelled in New Mexico for some time,
and in 1872 visited w. F. Cahill,
OF Minneapolis, a relative by
marriage, with whom, under the
title of Cahill and Townshend, part
nership was formed, and the Florence
mill on North Second street this city
built, of which Mr.. Townshend took
charge, remaining in the milling bust
ness ever since. In the car company's
failure of 1888 Mr.. Townshend suffered
severe financial reverse, but the
Florence Mill company being organ
lied soon after, he assumed
charge as its manager, which
position he held at the time
of his death. He was pleasant, kindly
gentleman, who had large circle of
friends and no enemies, and was re-
garded as one of the leading business
men of this city. He was a Knight
Templar and a member Of Bayard COM
mandery, as we'll as the other Masonic
bodies of this city. He leaves a wife
and two children, aged about four and
six years respectively. He had made a
gallant fight against consumption, and
but few would have been able to with
stand its ravages as long as he did. No
tee OF funeral will be given later.
Burt Williams. the man who assaulted
William Sehurer in saloon on Monday
night and hit him in the face with a
beer mug, was arraigned yesterday
morning charged with assault in the
second degree, and was held to the
grand jury in $500 bail, in default of
which he went to jail.
Rev. Father Laughan, for long time
assistant to Rev. Father Murphy. of St.
MichaeFs church this city, will go to
Shakopee to take charge of that parish
Father Gaughan will be very much
missed here where he has made many
friends.
Orville Rheinhardt. of Minneapolis,
paid this city visit and returned to
Minneapolis yesterday morning.
Joseph Bates, late graduate of a
dental academy of Philadelphia, has re-
turned to this city.
Senator Sabin returned from Chicago
Yesterday.

Conclusions Of the Jury Who
Investigated the West
Side Fire.
What a Plumber Was Awarded
for Being Blown Up
by Gas.
A
A Summary Of the Doings
of a Day at the
Capital.

The fire in West ST. Paul early yes
terday morning and the suffocation OF
Mrs. Maggie Ross and Maud Burmaster
created considerable interest in police
circles and excitement among the neigh
bors. The two bodies were removed to
the morgue, and showed no signs of
having been touched by fire. Deputy
Coroner Lewis, whose suspicious were
aroused, decided to hold an inquest,
the Jurors summoned being w. G. Gard
ner, foreman: o. G. Day, A. +. Leach,
G. E. Davis, William Dewitt, and ii. s.
Dunbar
The first witness called was Second AS
SiStant Chief Kelleher, who stated that
he was certain the fire had good start
before it was discovered. There was
no smell of kerosene or gasoline, but
when he went in the house there
was an
hoDoR OF BURNING FEATHERS.
There was nothing in the room that
would indicate oil. A man running
around with nothing on but shirt, ap-
preached me and said, my God there's
a woman and my little girl in the
house." Both beds Oh the upper floor
looked as though they had been occu-
pied.
j. I. Shapp, fireman, testified that
after he went up stairs he saw two
people lying on their backs in the beds.
Policeman Maurice Hurley testified
that he heard man scream fire" and,
after turning in the alarm, rushed to the
place, where he found Burmaster lying
on the porch partially naked and in a
frenzied state. Burmaster said that
two women were. up stairs and was
going up after them, but the smoke was
too thick. Some. one came with ladder,
and about that time Kelleher arrived
and entered the house. H.
Laid Burmaster, the occupant of the
house and father of Maud. said:
woke up in the morning (at what
time do not know and found the
SMOKE ALMOST SUFFOCATING ME.
l got out of the window, through
which [ took my three Youngest chill
dren, and handed them to Mrs. Clifford
After | got out said to fireman that
that there were two more persons in
the house. l had gasoline stove,
which was shut down directly after 6
o'clock. l went to bed at 9 o'clock, and
the rest of my household must have re-
tired about $50.
Other witnesses examined were
Henry Devlin. fireman: John Clifford,
an expressman, and Officer Hurley was
recalled. but the testimony given did
not differ from that of the preceding
witnesses.
The jury retired, and after deliberat-
ing short time, returneda verdict that
the deceased came to their death from
fire, the cause of which was unknown.
The bodies will be inferred to-day.

A BIG GAS BILL
Against the Company Which
Makes the Article.

The case of Daniel s. Stombs against
the st: Paul Gas company came to a
very unexpected conclusion yesterday.
The plaintiff sued, to recover $4,000
damages for injuries received by the
explosion of gas some months ago under
the Ryan hotel sidewalk. Stombs, who
is plumber, was passing along Robert
street at the time of the explosion, and
the shock threw him out on the Robert
street car track. AS he was able to
walk home, it was supposed that his in
juries were very slight. Nevertheless
he brought suit against the gas COM
pany, and the case was tried yesterday
before Judge Wilkin and a struck jury.
The gas company set up as one of the
points of the defense negligence of the
employees of the Ryan hotel. During
the trial of his case Stombs wore a
Grand Army of the Republic button
conspicuously displayed, and when the
jury returned it was with verdict of
81 900 for the plaintiff.

A DAY OF SENSATIONS:
A Scare at Sam Jones' Tent Caused
by an Exploding Gasoline
Lamp.

Sensations were the order yesterday
at Red Rock. The first report that
spread in the morning was that robbers
had entered number of tents and had
carried off various articles, from DIR.
Smiths pantaloons to towels and dish
cloths. A purse containing $50, which
was in Mr.. Smiths pantaloOnS, was also
lost. The trousers were not found. but
pair of George Hazard light-colored
ones were substituted and did good
service until others were furnished,
Another stir was created in the after
noon by the announcement that the
Jones cottage had narrow escape from
being
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
A gasoline stove had exploded and
caused small fire, which was easily ex-
tinguished.
A siX-year-old child of Rev. Mr.. Ran
dOlph while playing fell and fractured
its skull just above the eyes. DR..
Fishblatt was in attendance and pro-
nOunced the injury serious, but not
necessarily fatal. Visitors were much
more numerous in the grounds yester-
day than any other week day, many
ladies of the Twin Cities being in atten-
dance.
from the text, ''lf there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think of
these things" He made strong
PLEA FOR SLANG,
restating that there was nothing so sig
nificant as ''Get there" and Il bet my
bottom dollar" using as an illustration
the coal an engineer uses, which is
dirty, but on which he gets there all the
same.
The afternoon sermon was on the pro-
motion of holiness, and was given by
DR.. Satterlee.
The evening sermon was preached by
Sam Jones, his subject being Back
sliding and the Power of the Devil" In
speaking of the latter he said: s'The
devil has passed through all the univer-
sites, and is more than match for any
of you, no matter what your intellectual
powers are. The fact is. though, he is
an uSurper and SeduceS you into his
service by his brides. He refines every
thing for you; the theater until every
one of you do not know whether or not
to go; he uses the names in the Bible
for plays; he has refined cards until
they lay alongside OF the Bible at home;
he refines the base ball games until you
get some people and some ministers to
stand up and advocate them"
