CAUGHT In COURT.

Judge Young has filed decision in
favor of the plaintiff in the case of j. ii.
Thompson against Joseph l.. MelOsche
and Matthew Bredimus. 1t appeared by
the evidence that Bredimus was aware at
the time he filed his mortgage that
the plaintiff held first mortgage
on the same property, and it
was therefore held by the court that he
was eStopped from claiming any priv
ileges which should accrue to him
through having recorded his mortgage
first, and that the mortgage held by
Bredimus should be made second to the
plaintiffs on the county records. Judge
Lochren drew special venire of 10
talesmen, yesterday, from which it is
hoped 4 jury of twelve men will be Sc

A Girls Suicide

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, Jan. 49,
Minnie Ray, daughther of a prominen
citizen of this place, threw herself in
front of the Midland express which
passed the rear of the house last night,
and was instantly killed, her head being
crushed and her body horribly mangled.
She left letter to her parents saying
she was great sinner, and would rather
die than disgrace them. 1t is learned
that few days ago Minnie rented cot

spent the money. 1t is thought this 80

FAITH CURE CRANKS.
They Have a High Old Time al
Reading, Pa.

Reading, Pa.
READING, Pa, Jan. 19.-Believers in
the faith cure created strange scenes in
the handsome new Mennonite church
on North Tenth street yesterday. The
church was packed to suffocatiOn. The
excitement was of a character that
might cause On-lookers to imagine
themselves living in the days of mira
cles. There probably was not greater
faith even in Israel than was manifested
by some of the people in attendance
upon the faith cure convention. A SER
mon by Rev. w. f. Burkheiser opened
the proceedings. Then Rev. Mr.. Mus
selman, OF Bethlehem, delivered a STIR
ring address, urging reliance upon the
Lord instead Of upon doctors in times
of sickness.
In the midst of an appeal to the peo-
pie to have greater faith, coupled with
an assurance that prayer can heal all
LISA young man named MahlOn NeiSch-
WeIder, from Auburn, rushed to the
altar, which was now surrounded by
half a dozen clergymen. The young
man exclaimed:
Il am suffering with consumption. /
gave up remedies, and now l rely on the
Lord to cure me. want your prayers,
all of YOU"
Sobbing aloud, he sank OH his knees
and the clergyman called for prayers.
Then three women left their seats and
went forward. A woman named Mrs.
BreniSer said:
have suffered twenty years in my
head. believe in prayer. l have faith,
and | believe Jesus will cure me-"
She, too, fell upon her knees in
yrhitn 10 rnnr11a
Mr.. MuSSelman made another appeal
to the audience, and a number of clergy
men offered fervent prayers. Strong
men wept, women SwOOned, and the
congregation was excited. The min
listers gathered about the sick, and, lay
ing hands upon their heads, implored
the spirit Of God to descend and heal
the afflicted penitently kneeling at the
altar. During this time strong personal
appeals were made by other ministers to
sick people in the audience to come
forward and be healed.
Here's one who can not get through
the crowd" exclaimed voice in the
rear of the church. The deacons at
once responded, and carried young
woman suffering with spinal disease to
the excited, weeping, praying throng
about the altar. Meanwhile the choir
sang. The cOnsumptive young man was
overcome under his great mental strain,
and he fell PROSTATE on the floor. A
haif-hOur of prayer service was kept up,
while the clergymen urged the appli-
cantS for cure to continue strong in
their faith. Several women testified to
their renewed strength. and expressed
belief that they would be cured.
For an hour, at least, this exciting
service was continued. At its close the
sufferers departed with light hearts, and
were told to come again. The conven-
ton will be in session all the week.

Last Nights Doings Of the Gay Tile Run
Of Parties and Other

Coming toward the end of the week,
society events of such Importance as to
be denOminated "SWell" thin out very
rapidly. All great affairs are set for
earlier than Thursday, as a rule, and
weddings are never held later than that
day. But the city is gay always. In
proportion to its population, none other is
more given to thoroughly enjoying itself
in social way. Take a trip up Nic0llet
or down Washington avenues any even
ing. and every dancing hall will show
lighted windows, while the squeak
of the violin and the rattle of the glass
will tell OF dancing in progress. With
these, the thousand and one card parties,
the afternoon teas and coffees, the
Chautauqua circles and the little private
parties and dances, no wonder the city
is gay. Festivities were not so numer-
GUS as usual last night, but they make
quite a showing.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The medical fraternity is not little
| puzzled as to the cause of the prevail
ing winter cholera. 1t is not an exag-
| geratiOn TO say that there are in all
| probability 10000 people in Minneapolis
| suffering from the disorder at present
! A prominent physician has theory
| which seems not improbable. He thinks
| that frozen poultry is largely RESPONSE
| BILE for the ailment and points to the
| large consumption of poultry during
| the winter season, and the fact that
| there is none i'll the market that is not
frozen.
The fact that the council committee
on claims refused to pass bill of $40
presented by Mayor Ames and O. KID
by himself has caused some little COM
ment. 1t appears that POlander named
Andrew Giskey, who was employed by
the city, fell into a sewer on Marshall
street northeast and broke a leg. The
mayor was summoned in his capacity as
surgeon, and learning that the acct
dent was caused by careleSsnesS of the
city employees, set the leg and had the
man sent to the city hospital, at the
same time seeing that his family was
cared for by the supervisor of the poor.
He congratulated himself that he had
saved the city damage suit. but it APP
pears tllaC IN SUBMITTING his Dill Tor his
services he violated some ir0n-clad
formula which gave certoin perfunctory
aldermen a chance to object to it, al
though the supervisor of the poor APP
peared and gave personal explanation
of the circumstances of the case. It's
only a little plan to annoy the mayor
and show Off the fidelity of certain
aldermen to the city's interests. and is
hardly worth the prominence that GER
tain papers have given to the affair.
The report that the young lady con.
cerned in the NicOllet house escapade
was the daughter of an eX-alderman is
still OH its deadly mission. At last ac-
counts there were no less than three
eStimable young men at the Hennepin
Avenue theater on the fateful night as
escorts of eX-aldermen's fair daughters,
and although none OF them wore eve
glasses or hailed from st. Paul, never
thelesS they have been not a little eXer-
cised as to whether people might not
connect them with the scandal.
~
1t is generally thought that the mayor
has vetoed the snow ordinance, as stated
in the GLOBE yesterday. 1t is pre-
Sumed that he regards it as loosely
drawn and containing some Impractical
BILE as well as discriminating require
mentS.

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, OAK, Jan. 19.-Some
weeks ago, near Fairburn, two farmers,
Gruble and Raridan by name, quarreled
over the possession of a house owned by
the first and rented by the latter. Both
drew pistols and several shots were
fired. Gruble fell dead with bullet
through his heart, and Raridan has a
severe wound in his leg. The coroner's
jury at the time eXonerated Raridan on
account of self-defense. The dead mans
friends, however, caused his arrest. and
to-day he had a lengthy hearing before
justice of the peace at HermOsa. He
was bOEpd over to answer in the Custer
county c}art to a charge of murder.
