EDGAR w. WILSON DEAD.
He Dies on Train While Coming
From California.

From CaIIfOrnIa.
The Omaha train when it pulled into
Minneapolis yesterday morning carried
the dead body of Edgar w. Wilson, one
of the best known and most popular
young men in the city. Last winter
Mr.. Wilson went to California for his
health, but has been failing rapidly
ever since. A few weeks ago he was
taken seriously i'll, and his brother,
Hon. Eugene M. Wilson, went to him.
He continued to grow worse, and few
days ago. finding that he had not long
to live, determined to start home. When
the train reached KaSOta junction Mr..
Wilson breathed his last in his brothers
arms. Mr.. Wilson was with the late
Hugh McNair during his illness, and
it seems odd that Mr.. Wilson's body
should reach Minneapolis just eleven
DAYS behind that of his friend. For
long time Mr.. Wilson was private secre-
tary to his brother-in-laW, w. w. Nc
Nair, and when that gentleman died
Mr.. Wilson was made one of the eXecu-
tors of the estate with Mrs. McNair.
Mr.. Wilson resided with his mother at
1926 Hawthorne avenue. He had two
sisters here, Mrs. McNair and Mrs. B.
w. Smith.
Il have known Edgar W. Wilson,"
said A. T. Ankeny yesterday, "since he
was boy playing in the streets OF
his native town, Morgantown, w. Va,
where l then attended school. Since he
came to Minneapolis he has won the
love and respect of very large circles
of friends, who will now deeply mourn
his loss. He was strong in ability, kind
in disposition and agreeable in all his
ways. TO see his young life go out in
the very morning of its days is mex
pressibly sad to those who knew and
loved him so well. Had he recovered
his health, he would very soon have
taken rank as one of the most prominent
men of the city and state. AS it was,
but few young mon have ever so sue
cessfully managed important business
interests"

INVOLVED IN MYSTERY.
No Cause Assigned For DR.. Ar
thur Camps Death.

thur Camps Death.
Dr. Arthur A. Camp, the well known
real estate man, is dead, having passed
away about II o'clock Monday night, at
his handsome residence, No. 60 Oak
Grove street. There is mystery, which
may never be cleared away, which sur
rounds his death, and much spec
ulation is being INDUCED in by
all who knew DR.. Camp. Monday
he was attending to business as usual,
and went home in the evening feeling
perfectly well. Later in the evening he
complained of a slight pain in the region
of the heart, and at 8 o'clock retired,
going directly to his room, opening off
of that of Mrs. Camp. Shortly after 10
an unusual noise. Asking what the
matter was, she received no reply, and
so went to his bedside. When she
reached him he was unconscious. Mrs.
Camp at once summoned physician,
but Mr.. Camp had died before he az
rived. The body was laid out.
and yesterday morning Drs. Spring,
Towers, Roberts, Hall, Hunter and
Fairbairn held an autopsy. The exam
ination was very careful, but no organic
disease that would be apt to cause
death was found. That death did not
result from heart disease was evident,
as that organ was found in healthy
condition. The stomach was removed,
and will be submitted to DR.. Drew, the
city chemist, who will make an eXami-
nation of it. The physicians present
reported to the family that they could
not determine upon the cause of death
at present. But that they have some
opinion in the matter is certain, as all
were exceedingly reticent in regard to
the matter last evening, and
declared that, while they had
the suicide theory, they did
not care to talk upon the Subject.
From the fact that they decided to have
the contents of the stomach analyZed it
would look as though they thought
there was something exceedingly odd
in the death. When the news of the
death was heard Oh the streets yester-
day many business men shook their
heads onimiouSly. 1t was common talk
that DR.. Camps financial affairs are in
very bad shape. He came to Mime
apolis from New Jersey in 1878, when
he was twenty-five years of age. For
seven years he practiced medicine and
did some trading in real estate. Three
years ago he gave up the practice
of medicine, and devoted himself en-
tirely to the real estate business. He
purchased vast amount of land in
various portions of the city, it is said,
mortgaged it all very heavily in order to
obtain ready money. Rumors are cur
rent on the street that DR.. Camp had a
large amount of paper out, all of which
had been heavily discounted by the
a. n,,ly lie
stated last evening that nearly all of
this paper is due, and that DR.. Camp
had found it impossible to take it up. His
liabilities are said to be in the neigbbor-
hood of $3.50, 900. DIR. Camp had ali in
Surance on his life of 100000. He
leaves wife and three children.
Arrangements tor the funeral are not
get completed, and probably will not be
until the dead mans relatives, who re-
side in the East, are heard from. DR..
Camp has always been regarded as more

was not worth more than 500 and that
his mortgage was worthless, and claims
that the mortgage was never given for
any value, but was made for the pur-
pose of defrauding him. He therefore
sues Scott for $3.50, and asks that the
judgment be made lien on the lot
which he sold.
Robert L. Berglund sues James W.
Fitzgerald for $4,000 damages for false
imprisonment. He claims that OH the
18th of January, 1888, the defendant
charged the defendant with unlawfully
and wrongfully encouraging and assist
ing a large body of men to use force
and violence in entering the premises
OF the defendant, known as 400 Henne-
pin avenue; that upon said complaint,
a warrant was issued for this plaintiffs
arrest, and thereupon he was arrested
and taken before the judge of the
municipal court, who compelled him to
give bond of $500 for his appearance
before the grand jury. That the grand
jury refused to find an Indictment
against him, and thereupon he was dis
charged. He claims that owing to his
arrest and arraignmentint the municipal
court being published in the news
papers, his reputation has been damaged
in the sum of $4,000.

A DISTINGUISHED soUTHRoN.
One of Trio Now Visiting the
Wide Northwest.

Wide Northwest.
Hon. J. j. Barclay, Hon. r. F. Kolb,
and Z. B. Wilkeson, ESD, the trio of
Alabama gentlemen whose presence in
st. Paul has already been noted in the
GLOBE, are at the West hotel, busily
engaged in answering questions and
disseminating literature concerning
Alabama prospects and developments.
Mr.. Barclay, one of the foremost men of
Alabama, has had quite distinguished
career, having twice held diplomatic
positions under the government and
declining the third, which was rendered
by the present administration. lie was
born at Monticello, the famous
home of Thomas Jefferson, from whose
executors the estate was purchased by
his grandfather, DR.. James Il. Barclay.
A great portion of his life was spent
abroad as consul at Jerusalem, at Beirut,
represented the Russian government as
well. His great-grandfather, Thomas
Barclay, was the first American embaS-
sador to the Barbary powers, where, en-
forced by the guns of Commodore De-
catur'S feet, he made the first treaty of
commerce between the United States
and the sultan of Morocco.
d. Mr.. Barclay resides at Wheeler, Ala,
near the new city of Decatur, which
takes it's name from the famous commo-
dore. He married the youngest daugh-
ter of Bishop Alexander Campbell, the
founder of the Christian church, of
which President Garfield and Gov. r. M.
Bishop were prominent members. In
manners, he is the typical Southern gen
tleman, and politically is, OF course, a
Democrat. His present mission is
purely business one and avoids politics,
but he took occasion to say there was
no indication of any change in the pOlit-
ical complexion of the South. He is
greatly pleased with the Northwest, and
while he regrets the backwardness of
the season, cannot but admire 1.-The en-
ergy of a people who can thrive and
grow great in such winter climate"
Mr.. Kolb, who accompanies him, is
commissioner of immigration, while
Mr.. Wilkinson is editor of the Sheffield
ENTERPRISE.

AN ELECTRIC CLOCK
Which 1t Is Claimed Doesn't Keep
Good Time.

1t will be remembered that the grand
shop on Third street south for running
a ''clOck," which is similar in many re-
spects to the favorite old game of
''faro." The charge was dismissed
against this house, as there were no
witnesses and everything was supposed
to be ION the square," Since then a
new house has opened up at 254 First
avenue south, which is said to be little
crooked. That is, the proprietor has the
machine or the cards so arranged that
he can make the stocks go up or down,
and it is needless to say that many of
the smokers" who have just caught
onto the sinch game that the modest
manager has been working for the
past two months are somewhat in
dignant and want revenge. 1t
issaid that young business man in
this city has been caught for large
amount, through "cappers," who were
employed by the house, and that unless
the money is returned he will make
trouble. He said that if the game had
been straight he would never have been
so heavy loser and would have been
perfectly satisfied. The opinion of the
''clock" by an old-time Spectator was
revealed yesterday as follows: eff
everything is run square it is the pretti-
est and safest speculation, that is for a
game of chance, that has ever been be-
fore the public. 1t is far better than
wheat or stocks, for they are controlled
by capitalists and can be regulated
about as they desire. While the clock
is all luck-the cards are shuffled up
and put in the box. Of course a cold
deck can be run in, but man that has
a commission that amounts to $50 OF
500 day ought to be run out of town
that would do such thing" Its quite
certain that spectators, as a general
rule, in Minneapolis are full-blooded
snnrtS and only want an even deal.

FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN,
PARTY.

After a rest of four years the Repub-
lican party is about to take up the ad-
ministration of the government once
more. Its opportunity has come to it
again. Whether or not it continues TO
administer the affairs of the govern
ment depends upon the use it makes Of
its opportunity. The party was weak
est at the close of the campaign OF 1884.
1t began to decline under the policy of
Pres. Hayes-a policy that seemed
necessary but which eliminated in a
ssolid South" Garfield was elected,
the democrats not yet being able to
control a sufficient numberof Northern
states. The party made mistake in
the nominations of 1884 and suffered
its first defeat. The long sought op-
portunity of the democracy now came.
But the result has shown that their
zeal for power far surpassed their wis
dom in administering power. Relying
for a continuance in power upon main
tanning "solid South, the party has
directed its energies towards making
itself 'solid" with that section of the
country. The result has been to make
the administration Extensively one-sided
in its general trend. In fact, the de-
mocracy has lost its opportunity. This
has come again to the republicans and
what will they do!
The party put its best men forward
in this canvass. Had Blaine been nom
mated we believe the party would have
been defeated the second time. The
same policy should be carried out in all
appointments to office. The democrats
have filed offices with unsuitable men.
The bummers and the strikers have
claimed an unusual share of the spoils.
Their promises to reform and to purify
were not carried out. The republicans
made mistakes under former admins
trations, but as few perhaps as has ev-
er been made by any party, in our his
tory. The opportunity is now given
them to correct the errors of the past.
and likewise to profit by the mistakes
of their enemies. Let men be appoint
ed to Office who are competent to dis
charge the duties Of office. Give no
places Of trust to corrupt and unscru-

A large proportion of the bills bro't

legislatures we have had for many a
year. 1t has incubated and brought
forth taxes. The appropriations al

or more on a dollar, and hereafter a
much larger per cent win be needed.
This heavy state tax comes in very op-

been able by close economy to keep ev-
