got within three feet OF the shore. when the
men attempted to stop her by throwing n
line around n stump on the bunk. They fail
ed,the boat became unmanageable and swung
around in the current, acquiring such mo.
mcntum that before anything could be done
she shot over the falls like All arrow.
In the leap over the first chute the boats
shipped only n little water, AID the second
fall was passed without shipping any more.
The men were absolutely helpless aud unable
20 reach the shore, for the boat fairly spun
in the water. She kept in the center of the
rapids until near the third fall. Then one OF
the men jumped ont of her and attempted to
reach the shore The boat shot over the
third fall and landed plump upon u
jagged rock that barely showed itself above
the water Two Of the men managed "a

When the boat reached Westport, 90 miles
up, everything, according to the first mates
story, was running smoothly. He took a
walk lack 10 the cabin and found all quiet.
He stopped and talked TO his friend, George
McCann, who was lying on a lower terth
near the door. The latter half rose in bis
bed, and remarked: "rl soon be home with

MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES
OF KING MILAN AND QUEEN
NATALIE
why the Crown Prince of Scrvia was
Taken From His Mother and Re
stored to His Father.

Recent European dispatches have devoted
much space to the troubles Of the beautiful
Queen Natalie, divorced wife of King Milan,
Of Servia. A London cablegram gives an in
sight into the political features Of the trouble
between the royal pair. An interesting
sketch of the career Of King Milan and Queen
Natalie are also given in the cablegram. We
quote ms follows:
The case Of Queen Natalie, of Servia, has
furnished n very emotional topic TO the
European press, and unstinted abuse Is
poured out on Bismarck for tearing the
young Prince from his mothers arms and
exiling the helpless woman from Germany.
There is no doubt that King Milan in private
life is a polished villain, deserving any
amount Of hard luck, and quite unfit to 5e

for abusing Bismarck. His business is 10 look

Two Deaths From Hydrophobia ut
Chicago-A Terrible Scene.

Chicago-A Terrible Scene.
Two deaths from hydrophobia occurred in
Chicago.
The first case was Elsie Kelly, a three-y year
old girl, who was bitten by small dog few
days ago, She suffered greatly, but her
death was rendered comparatively painless
by the free use OF morphine.
The other case was that of Daniel Morair-
ity, n laboring man, bitten nine months ago,
who died at the County Hospital, after suffer-
ing terrible agony. When the convulsions
first seized him the veins on his neck stood
out like whip cords. The eyes became diated
and bulgel out in an abnormal way. The
frame OF the gr eat muscular fellow assumed
rigidity, and th musc.es contracted until IL
would seem that they wo uld burst the skin.
The expression on the face was frightful.
with dilated pupils and blood besmeared
balls, the eyes stood out and rolled about in
the widest way. Strong men held him and,
watching every movement, gua' del asiinst

The man seemed possessed Of the strength
OF a Hel cules, and IL was only by the most
strenuous efforts that he was restrained from
doing injury to his attendants. Finally he
fell back exhausted, gasped once or twice and

midst of this he articulated an almost maud

FARMERS FIGHTING FIRE.
Great Destruction of Timber, Crops
and Farm Buildings in New York.

ana tarm buiiuthss IN new hork.
The unusually dry we ,ther that has pre-
vailed throughout Northern New York for
the past six weeks, besides running the hay
crop, has resulted in large loss to farmers
and others by fire. In some places
standing timber, hay, grain, po'
tatoes, fences and farm buildings have
been destroyed in spite Of the desperate
efforts OF the inhabitants to save them. The
losses so far have been heaviest in Lewis
county. On the Texas road there is scarcely
a farmer who has not lost wood or bark, u
field of grain or hay, or many rods of fence.
The farmers fought the fire whole day.
Sixty thousand feet Of logs piled near
Voodrire's saw mill, in the town OF Creyhsn,
were burned and il was only by the greatest
efforts that the mill was sived. In the Is ar
Town district, Lewis county, over 1000
acres OF land have been burned over, aud
thousands OF feet Of first-clsss spruce, hens
lock and pine logs, hundreds of cords of
wood ready for the market, and some of the
best cedar lands have been destroyed.
Fires have also done much damage in the
towns OF Champion, Leroy, wilma and Phil
sdelphia, in Jefferson county. The other
day nearly every man, woman and child in
the village of Great Bend was enga yed for a
good portion of the day fighting frs to save
the place from destruction.

ARMING THE CRUISERS.
Progress Of the Guns and Carriages
for the New Vessels of War.

for the New Vessels of War.
At the Washington Navy Yard the ord.
nance officials report very gratifying progress
on the guns for the new vessels Of war. There
are now thirty-five six-inch breach-loading
riff under way, and some OF these are well
advanced toward completion. Fourteen are
complete in all their parts, and will probably
reach the proving grounds within few
weeks.
The two six inch guns for the Chicago are
practically finished. The last one is being
sighted. One teu-inch gun is ready except
the breach plug aud that is in forward
state. One ten.inch gun has already been
completed, and is now at the proving grounds
awaiting the arrival Of some spec al grades
Of powder before being subjected to the statu-
tory test. The third ten.inch gun is within
three months Of completion.
The work upon gun carriages is also being
actively pushed. OF the twenty six-inch CEN
t,al pivot carriages for the new ships, six
will be ready by September /; the remainder
are in process Of construc ion. Two Of the
four eight.inch c,rriages for the Chic'go are
nearly finishe !, one is promised August and
the other a month later. The other two are
in advanced stag.
Sufficient six-inci and egbt-inch projec-
tiles are on hand to supply the first thres
ships, including the Chicago. All for the
Boston are re, ,dy for delivery. The turrett
mounts for ten n-inch guns and mounts for
Hotchkiss rapid fire AID machine guns are in
very satisfactory state. The entire work.
ing force of the yard now comprises 555 men.
Over 200 men are employed ON the new gun
shops, work upon which is progressing salts
factorly, since the trouble with the quick
san in the shrinking pits has been overcome.

how deserving Besides, Queen Natalie did
interfere in politics and schemed to have
Russian influence predominant in Servia. IL
the Russians can they will make Servia Rus
sian. but Austria will do all she can to keep
the little country independent, as buffer
between her and Russia. SO King Milan
wisely keeps in with Austria. Austria wants
the coming King OF Servia to follow in his
fathers footsteps, and so Germany, TO
oblige Austria, has turned the Prince over to
his papa
Queen Natalie has asked the Emperor of
Austria for permission to reside in Vienna,
but Franz Josef has replied unfavorably,
recommending her to take up her abode in
Belgium or England. Both the German and
the Austrian governments treat her as IA
dangerous political intrguante and do not
care 10 have her within the circles which
surround them.

MANKATO'S BOOM.
New Buildings Going Up at a
Rapid Rate-The New Hotel.

Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, April 30.-An error in the
special telegram from here which ap-
peared in the Sunday GLOBE made the
new Saulspaugh hotel $4,000 instead of
$1,000. The valuation of the site alone,
donated by the city, is nearly $4,000.
The new building will be at least four
stories high and will be model of
modern architectural design. 1t will
supply lOng-needed want. In addi-
ton to this work has been resumed
upon the new Blue Earth county court
house, which will be pushed to compile
ton.
The Young Mems Investment COM
pany, recently organized corporation,
is erecting an elegant fOur-story busi-
ness block on the corner of Walnut and
Second streets. This will be heated
with steam throughout. The upper
floors will be very conveniently ar
ranged for business offices. The Baptist
society will complete their new church
edifice early in the summer, work hav-
ing already been begun upon it. George
E. Brett, the veteran dry good mer-
chant, will build a fine residence. Arch

For Alderman,
JOHN F. GEHAN.

This is the ticket which the Demo
cratic party of st. Paul has in the field
foFsto-day's election. This happens to
e'sone for use in the Ninth ward.
Those for the other wards are precisely
like it, except for the aldermanic candi-
date, the last name on the list. In the
other wards other names should of
course stand in place of Mr.. Gehan's.
Bysan agreement between the two city
cotnmittees the candidates for constable
and justice of the peace will be voted
foriby the whole city.
All manner of spurious tickets have
been scattered throughout the city.
They are the last device of the Repub-
hcan gang to defeat an honest express
sion OF the peoples will at the polls.
Do not be cheated by them. DO not be
imposed on by spurious tickets. Read
your ballot carefully and see that it is
like the one printed above. See that the
name of the Democratic candidate for
alderman from your ward is there and
then vote it straight. 1t is your highest
duty to-day. Do not neglect it. Go to
the polls early and vote the straight

New Hampsbire Democrats.

CONCORD, n. H., April 3O.-The larg-
est gathering of Democrats in the his
tory of the party in this state is in Con-
cord tonight to attend the convention
tomorrow for the choice of delegates to
the st. Louis convention. At 9 p. III. a
caucus was held. John M. Mitchell, of
Concord, was selected for per-
manent chairman of the convention.
1t is settled that Hon. Frank
Jones, of Portsmouth, and Hon. A. w.
Sulloway, of Franklin, will be elected
two of the four delegates at large, and
it is almost reasonably certain that
their colleagues will be Hon. Harry
Bingham, of Littleton, and Hon. J. 6.
Moore, of Clifford. Immediately after
the adjournmento of the state convention
two district conventions will convene
and choose delegates. The state con-
vention will adopt resolutions strongly

FOR ALDERMEN AT LARGE.
The Ticket Which the Democrats
Will Elect TO-DAY.

The Ticket Which the Democrats
Will Elect To-Day.
There is no doubt among the Demo
cratic party leaders as to what will be
the result of to-day's election. The
Democrats are reasonably sure OF the
entire ticket at large and at least seven
ward aldermen. which will give them
clean majority in the new council.
There will be not less than fifty split
tickets in the field, but the straight
ticket is the ticket for Democrats and
for all others who wish to indOrSe the
principles of honest government, upheld
by the Democratic party.
William Hamm will get one of the
largest votes of any man on the ticket.
He is invincible by reason of his per-
sonal popularity and his brilliant rec
ord.
Charles III. Petsch will poll a vote
that will surprise his most sanguine
supporters. The Republicans have cen
tered the fight upon him and their
organs have villifed and abused
him. but the people of st.
Paul, among whom he has
grown up, and whom he has faithfully
represented in the council, know how
much truth there is in these charges.
He will be vindicated to-day by an over
whelming majority.
John Dowlan has been many years
in the council. His integrity and
ability are alike unquestioned.
Bernard Ryan is the representative
of the wOrllingmen. He has championed
their cause in the council, and they
will reciprOcate.
Joseph Minea, the West Side alder
man, can give his attention to the rest
of the ticket. His own election is con-
sidered an assured fact.
l.. N. Dion is an early settler and
self-made man. His name on the
ticket adds strength to it, and it is fig
ured that he will go through with a
rush.
