An Inclination to Let Up on the
Campaign Cry of "a3oodleisfn."
No one has yet come to the front with
any specific charges of fraud i'll the adj
ministration of the city affairs. And in
view of the fact that the indiscriminate
charges were resulting so disastrously,
there has been tendency to let up.
Good citizens who are interested in the
welfare of the city are glad of this,
though some of those who have been
attacked Indirectly say their chances
were improving as the mud Singing
went on.
l.. II. Maxfield, who has lived long in
st. Paul, and who is a Republican, said
II don't believe that any of the council
OF other city officers ever made any
raids on the city treasury, and il any of
them were ever given any perquisites
for fayering given measure, don't
believe it was for anything that ever

THE DEADLY CURRENT.

James Roberts, an Emp!oye OF
the Gas Company, Killed by an
Electric Shock.
James Roberts, an employe of the st.
Paul Gaslight company, assembled the
electric light pole adjoining the MAN.
haitian clothing store, at the northeast
Former of Seventh and Jackson streets,
at 7:3o o'clock last night, to make con-
nection between two electric wires.
He had heen up there but
a few moments when pedestrians
passing on the corner heard crashing
among the wires above, and on looking
upward discovered the unfortunate
young man suspended lfeless from the
telephone wires On one of the lower
arms of the pole Officer Corniek Sc
cured rope, which was thrown across
the arm of the pole and at
tached to Roberts body, and with
the aid of citizens proceeded
to lower the corpse. During this pre-
cedure the body slipped from the rope
and fell through twelve feet to the
pavement The crowd was at first in
doubt whether the man was dead or
not, and when the patrol arrived Officer
Aus Baer lifted up Roberts head and
tried to force some brandy down his
throat. The remains were brought to
the Central station, where Assistant
City Physician CoggSWeH pronounced
the man
DEAD OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Roberts was twenty-five years of age
and a cousin OF Superintendent Ellison,
of the gas company. He had been in
st. Paul less than a year, coming from
England, where his parents still reside.
His first employment was as a dynamo
man in the electric light station, and
afterwards he was put to trimming the
arc lights. 1t is stated last evening by
an employee that Roberts had very little
experience in the work which resulted
in his death. In the parlance of the
trade he went there to take off a
''jumper;;" that is to join the wire
which supplies the roller rink on Jack
son street, which has lately been
unused. with the wire carrying the
main electric current. In doing
this he used a pair of insulated pliers.
In order to get shock, he must have
taken hold of the wire with both hands,
and the theory is that he lost his bal
ance on the pole, and to prevent him
self from falling. grabbed the wire with
both hands. The shock probably
caused instantaneous death and he fell
lifeleSS into the mesheS of wire below
him. Acting Coroner Quincy took
charge of the remains, which were re-
moved to Mccarthy q Dennelly's I'M
lertaking rooms.

HE WANTS TO LIVE.

Col. Thomas, of Mankato, Did Not
Attempt Suicide---A Correction.
In its report of the narrow escape
from death by asphyXiation of guest
at the Windsor hotel, who on retiring
Thursday night blew out the gas, the
GLOBE unintentionally did grave in
justice to one OF the best known and
most prominent citizens of Minnesota.
The person referred to, Col. William
Thomas, of Mankato, came to ST.
Paul OH private business, and as
was his custom put up at the
Windsor. In accordance with a
habit long confirmed he was reading
in bed, and becoming sleepy he. as he
supposed, turned off the gas. The fix
ture being of a kind with which he was
not familiar, he did not succeed in
turning the gas entirely off. His in
halation of the noXiouS fluid that eS-
capped rendered him unconscious. and
had his mistake not been discovered in
time would undoubtedly have proved
fatal. Landlords generally are averse to
making such matters pablo, and all the
information the GLOBE could obtain
from what was considered reliable
source was such as was published yes
terday.
Col. Thomas is man of large bust
ness interests, until recently COM
mander of the department of Minnesota
c. A. R., and the GLOBE regrets having
been the means of putting him i'm false
light, and by implication attributing
to him desire to terminate his exist
enee. That he was not under the in
fuence of liquor as was stated is best
explained by the fact that he is man
of strictly temperate habits. Neither
has he amy intention of shutting off this
mortal coil except by natures way, and
the GLOBE hastens to correct its error
and the injustice it did him in the first
publication of the affair.

After the first business on the pre-

tine character, Miss Edith FSulke
gave selection on the piano
which was voted one of the features, of
the afternoon. This was in the nature
of a prelude to an animated debate on
the question whethr government should
own and control the railroads. 3. d.
Sullivan and Charles Young took the
affirmative side and were opposed by
Charles E. Flandrau, Jr., and j. IA.
Murphy, Jr. Miss Guthrie's recitation
was gem of elocution, and the entire
class participated in finale entitled
Fantastic Gestieulations," which was
very amusing.

Republicans in Session.

The Republican city committee held a
long session last night. and discussed
registration and campaign assess
ments. In view of the fact that in
the redistricting of the city Wabasha
street, which is the dividing line for
the Justice and constable districts, is no
longer a ward boundary, some action
was deemed necessary defining just
where the dividing line should come
for those officers. A committee of three
was appointed to confer with commit
tee from the Democrats and settle the
question.
