THE DEADLY ROPE.

M. ChristiansOn, of North Minne-
neapolis, Hangs Himself to a
Tree.
John Pool, fourteen years of age, was
going to his work yesterday morning
singing and whistling as only happy
boy can, but when he reached the cor
ner of Plymouth and Sheridan avenues
north his whistling was suddenly
stopped, for there, hanging by the neck
from the limb of small tree, was the
body of a man, the face black and the
tongue protruding. The boy at once
gave the alarm, and word was sent TO
police headquarters. Coroner Hill and
detail of police went to the place
designated and there found the body or
M. ChristianSon, an old carpenter well
known in North Minneapolis. The body
was cut down and taken to Connelly's
mOrgue, where an inquest will be held.
The last seen of ChriStianSOn was Sun
day night, when he left his home, tax
ing with him clotheSline. He must
have gone directly to the tree from
which he was found hanging, as the
body was cold and stiff when diScOv-
cred. No cause is known for the deed,
but some of the dead mans friends
claim that he had not acted just right
and say that he was more or less crazy.
ChriStianSOn was in comfortable cir
cumStances and leaves wife and a
Stepson. He has been in business in
Minneapolis for some years.

condition, and that his firm considered
that it had paid the plaintiff all that was
due him. But the jury, after listening
to considerable fshy testimony in re-
gard to the keeping qualities of differ
ent kinds of fish, decided that Mr.. Veal
was entitled to sS9.07.

A SAVING CLAUSE
Which Cuts Something of
Figure in a Proposed New News
paDer Deal

F1Sufe III Il proposed New n NcWS-
paper Deal.
1t leaked out yesterday that the
scheme of AldenJ. Blethen to start a
Democratic morning paper in Mime
apolis has met with serious
drawback which may ultimately de-
feat it. Mr.. Blethen had succeeded in
interesting certain Democratic poll
ticians, and had proposed to form a
stock company, taking a portion of the
stock himself. When Mr.. Blethen sold
out his interest in the Tribune he re-
served the franchise of the United Press
for himself. He proposed to turn
this over to the new stock company for
$4,000. 1t was not until yesterday that
he discovered the meaning OF a certain
clause in the bill of sale to the Tribune,
by which that paper has the right to
the use of the United Press ser
vice. The new company had
been formed and everything was
in readiness to file articles of incOrpora-
ton, but the men who were to back
Mr.. Blethen III the enterprise are un-
willing to go on and pay the enormous
price he asks for the privilege of ser
vice by the United Press, which is not
exclusive.
George K. Shaw, of the Minneapolis
Star, had long conference last night
with one of the gentlemen interested,
and, it was given out, offered to form a
company and start the paper himself,
providing the telegraphic franchise of
the Press News association, of which he
is the sole owner, be taken for the sum
of $1,000.

THEY GAZE IN WONDER
At Baldwin, the Cloud jumper
Museum Attractions.

There was another rush to the dime
museum, Minneapolis. Now it is to see
Prof. T. S. Baldwin, the great aeronaut,
who made the awful jump of 5000 feet
from his balloon in Minneapolis last
Wednesday. Immediately after the
jump he was secured by Kohl, Middle
ton & Co. at large salary to appear in
the museum. Great crowds surrounded
the daring balloonist yesterday and
gaZed with natural wonder upon the
balloon, parachute and other apparatus,
which is on exhibition with the pro-
fessor. Baldwin's explanation of their
construction and how he accomplishes
the most wonderful of all exploits is
most interesting one, and is listened to
with the closest attention. Baby
Bunting," the tinieSt and most perfect
of horses, attracted much attention.
The little horse is most beautiful one,
and not child sees it but covets the
dainty animal. 1t is pet of the chill
dren and ladies'. Baby Bunting came
all the way from China. He is only
tWenty-SiX inches high, and is smaller
than full-grown Newfoundland dog.

get of son and Sol Stone, the lightning
calculator, attract many people. "a

HE WAS KNOCKED SILLY,
But His Own Witnesses Knew
Nothing of 1t.

The damage case of DIR. Henry 3.
Fay against E. NJ. Runyan, the we'll
known real estate man, was partially
tried yesterday before Judge Rea and
dismissed, the plaintiff falling to make
out case. The testimony showed that
on the 9th of last February, while Mr..
Runyan's hired man was driving his
span of horses out Western avenue they
became frightened at switch engine at
the Manitoba railway crossing, and in
making a sudden turn, broke the pole
OF the sleigh and ran away. After run
ming some distance down the avenue it
was claimed that they IAN against DR..
Fay's sleigh, bruising him severely and
rendering him insensible for some time.
But some of the doctors own witnesses,
who were present when Mr.. Runyan'S
horses ran against the sleigh. testified
that they did not see anything of him,
and the court concluded that if he had
been knocked senseless. that persons
who were present would know some
thing about it. -

INSTRUCTED FOR HARRISON.
A Meeting of the Union League
Club Behind Closed Doors.

The Union league held meeting be-
hind closed doors last night, but it
leaked out that one object was
to discuss presidential candidates
with a view to giving instructions to
the Minneapolis delegation to the Chi
cago convention. 1t was charged by
an opposition faction that the meeting
was packed in the interest of Har-
rison, as his friends were in
the large majority. Gresham was
jumped upon with both feet as a stall
wart and a free-trader, and was pro-
nounced the meanest man the party
could nominate. Eugene Hoy, Frank
Meade and Robert Stratton all
made rampant speeches for Har-
rison, and the voice that John
Swift raised for Gresham was lost in a
howl of disapproval. Col. McCory ven
tured to interpose word for John Sher-
man, which Capt. Snider indo:sed, but
the others did not catch On to any re-
markable extent. The Minnesota dele

Dobbin Against Dobbin.
The divorce case of Lizzie Dobbin VS..
Joseph L. Dobbin was begun yesterday
afternoon before Judge Lochren. Mrs.
Dobbin, whose maiden name was Lizzie
Day, is remarkably handsome woman,
and is well-known in the city,
having been engaged for several
prior to her marriage as principal in
the public schools. Mr.. Dobbin, who is
thirteen years her senior, is a member
of the law firm of DObbinS & Hanley,
and is a small, spare man, with reddish
gray hair. The ground on which the
divorce is asked is cruel and
inhuman treatment. Mrs. Dobbin
was the first witness and testified
that her age was twenty-nine years,
and that she was married to the de-
fendant Sept. 5, 1886. She stated that
soon after her marriage she discovered
that the defendants ideas of the posi-
ton to be occupied by wife were en-
considered that her place was
in the kitchen, and although
a wealthy man, refused to allow any
help in her household duties at time
when she was in a delicate condition
and needed help, but told her she was
lazy and feigning sickness in order to
bleed him of his money, and that she
had only married him for his money.
She also stated that owing to his tyranni-
cal and heartleSS conduct, she
had become afflicted with a
serious nervous disorder, which caused
her to give premature birth to her child,
and that during her illness the defend
ant never paid any attention to her, but
would come home to his meals and then
go back to his business without inquir-
ing after her health or paying any atten-
ton to her condition. She had not finished
her testimony when court adjourned.

GOOD TEMPLARS MEET,
The Annual Meeting of the Fif-
teenth District Lodge.

The second annual meeting of the
Fifteenth district lodge of Minnesota, l.
Q. &. T., was held yesterday afternoon
and evening at the lodge room, 125 Mic
ollet avenue. Nearly every lodge in
the district was represented, and alto
ether there were nearly $50 members in
attendance. The reports of the various
officers showed large increase
in the membership over last year,
and it was stated that the
children were taking greater interest
in temperance affairs than ever before.
There was long discussion over mis-
sion work in the district, which takes
in Hennepin, Anoka and Carver coun-
ties. 1t was shown that much good
could be accomplished by these mis-
sions, and so arrangements were made
to put several lecturers in the field.
These lecturers will go from place to
place and will organize lodges.
The financial report showed that
during the past year there had
been over $500 spent in mission work,
and that 800 still remained in the treas
ury. n. J. Bray, of Norwood, was
elected district templar, and Miss Alice
Holt, of Minneapolis, secretary. There
was an open session in the evening,
which was a very enjoyable affair.
Music and song helped to make the
evening pleasant. The speech of the
evening was made by State Organizer

THE MINISTER'S.
They Decide on a Few Things at
Their Monday Meeting.

"Church, State and Schools was the
title of a paper read before the ortho-
dox ministers yesterday morning by
Rev. w. NJ. Jones, of st. Louis Park.
In brief. he said: "The liquor traffic
must be settled not Oh the basis of rev.
enue, but of rights. Righteousness is
the basis of good government and it
rests on religion. Socialists have not
had too much but too little of the teach
ing of Christ. Government must not
be SubServient of personal ends. State
religion has had its day. but the relig-
ious statepmust forever exist. Political
atheism can not be fairly charged to the
constitution of the United States, though
the name of God be absent from it. The
state to be perfect must be pure, and to
be pure it must keep to the teachings of
Christ. The Bible must be given
place in the public schools"
At the meeting of the Methodist min
listers yesterday afternoon the report of
the committee on missionary and church
extension work was listened to. This
report called for meeting of the pas
tor and three lay delegates from the
First NJ. E. church, the Hennepin Ave
nue., the Centenary and the Franklin
Avenue, to meet at the Y. NJ. c. A,
rooms at o'clock this afternoon.

WOULDN'T SELL.
A Big Pri ce for a Corner, But Not
Enough.

Representatives from the 1Etna Insur-
ance company. Boston, were in the city
a few days last week, seeking an avail
able site for the erection of a mammoth
block by their company. After look
ing around they finally selected the
corner of Fourth street and Nicollet
avenue, now occupied by the District
Telegraph company, bnt upon investi-
cation they ascertained that Mr.,
Williams, superintendent of the tele-
graph, had butrecently renewed his lease
of the property for another five years.
The representatives offered him $1,000
bonus for the lease but Williams wanted
$4,000, and wasn't particular whether
he sold or not. The Htna folks have
fully decided locating a headquarters
building here, and in all probability, if
they don't accept Mr.. Williams offer,
will purchase elsewhere. Their design
is to erect block that would be COM
mensurate with their worldwide repu-
tatiOn
