THE WAR STILL ON.
More Talk on the Legality of Col.
Bends Title.


81 see that Gov. McGill and-his adj
visers seek to make Gov. Hubbard bear
part of the responsibility for their
blunder in the Bend matter, as they
claim the late famous order was issued
after consultation with him, and with
his CONSENT" said ex-Adjt. Gen. Mac
Carthy yesterday. Consent don't
mean appreciation. Gov. Hubbard is
not the man to approve of an act he re-
fused to do himself. Had he the power,
and an act of justice was to be done to
Col. Bend, he would not wait ten months
for his successor to do it. No, | venture
the suggestion he desires no part of this
glory that belongs to Gov. McGillS
novel order.
Gov. McGill says the order revoked
Gov. Hubbard's order, but it did not re-
woke Bends last commission. No doubt
by this time he thinks his order in the
latter respect needs little house file
157 manipulation, but he forgot to let
his adjutant into the secret, for that
official says of Col. Bend and the effect
of the new order: Now, the order dis
missing him and also his new
commission have been revoked, which
places him just where he was before,
ness. The adjutant cOntradicts his chief
and ignores the rank of the gallant
colonel of the Second regiment. Col.
Bobleter is not Stickler for rank, fuss
and feathers, but when the rights of his
regiment are involved he won't let Gen.
Seeley down him. Col. Bend tried that
on him in 1852 in the memorable scenes
at the White Bear encampment, but got
left.
''Here is something the adjutant gen
eral forgot, section II, article 2, OF the
State Military Code, says: No officer
shall hold two commissions in the ma
tional guard at the same time. and the
acceptance of second commission by
any officer shall be considered as res
ignatiOn of the first When Col. Bend
accepted the last commission in 1856
and was mustered and sworn in by my
self it settled the doom of the first com
mission, even if there was any doubt
about Gov. Hubbard's order Of 1885. If
the adjutant's theory Of the effect of the
revoking order is CORE ct, then it did
not revoke enough, for it should have
this time Col. Bend thinks there has
been entirely too much of the revoking
business, and with his natural taste for
theatricals feels like reciting Otheilo'S
soliloquy."
''The attorney general is interviewed
and says: While not protesting great
familiarity with military law, | under
stood the rule to be that when an officer
reYokes an order which dismissed one
under his command such revocation
works of itself a reinstatement. In this
respect the order of commanding Off
Ger differs from the finding of court
MARTIAL There's where the attorney
general is mistaken, for it is precisely
in this respect only that dismissal
by order is the same as dismiss by
sentence, for both have the same effect
of putting the officer out of the service
and RELOCATING him TO civil standing
beyond the reach of any further mill
tary orders. On this point it might be
well to quote from Winthrop.

DEATH OF LOUIS e. FISHER.
The Oldest Newspaper Man in the
CITY Suddenly Stricken Down.

City Suddenly Stricken Down.
Louis f. Fisher, president of the-St.
Paul Press club, and the Oldest news
paper man in point of age and service in
st. Paul, died at his home, No. Is West
Tenth street. at 1890 this morning.
Mr.. Fisher was at his desk in the
office of the Northwestern News
paper Union on Saturday, and
did his work as usual. On
retiring he complained of a headache.
Sunday morning DR.. Zegler was called
and found the deceased suffering from
congestion of the brain. He grew rap
Idly worse and shortly after noon be-
came unconscious, remaining so until
he died. There is scarcely a branch OF the
newspaper business, from roller-bOy to
editor-in-chief, with which Mr.. Fisher was
not FAMILIAR. lie was siXty-seyen years
old, having first seen light on a farm
near Boston, Mass, in 1921. He received
good education, and acquired his first
in Boston. He left his ma
tive city when twenty years of
age to witness the Inauguration
of President Harrison at Washington.
From the capital he went to Wheeling,
w. Va, and thence to Madison, Ind,
where he had relatives. In Madison he
read law for six months with Hon.
Jesse ID. Bright, and then went down the
river. After two years cruise, during
which he visited nearly every state in
the Union, he returned to Boston. He
became foreman in the composing
rooms of the Boston Daily Advertiser,
and afterwards
WORKED AS A REPORTER.
Reading the ST. Paul Weekly Pho
heer determined him to come to this
city, and in April, 1854, he landed from
a river boat at the Sibley street leyee.
He assisted in getting out the first
was foreman of the Real Estate
Advertiser, edited by j. A.
Wheelock, and then returning
to the Pioneer was in success
sion foreman, city editor, general news
editor, and from 1861 to 1865 managing
editor. From 1866 nearly up to the time
of the consolidation of the Pioneer and
the Press, in 1875, he was editor-in
chief of the Pioneer Then he be-
came general news editor Of the Pho
neer Press, and subsequently, when
like Horace Greedy at fifty, he ceased
to enjoy setting up all night with a
morning paper" he resigned to prepare
matter for the newspapers prin ed by
the Northwestern Newspaper Union.
Mr.. Fisher was good writer, witty
and sarcastic at times, and his work III
the thirty-four years devoted to writing
for the public in St. Paul, has made him
widely known. Among the fra
ternity he was loved and
respected by all, and at the
annual meeting of the Press club a
month ago he was unanimously elected
president. He was robusJ-lOoking
man, moderate and dignified in his
movements, full of good humor, but of
a modest and retiring nature. He might
have been Il rich man; but he leaves
only small estate to his wife and son.
Arrangements for the burial will be
made to-day, and the Press club will
probably attend the funeral services i'll

FATAL COLLISION.
One Man Killed and Several In

Jufe0 In wreck on the Clncln-
natl Southern.
SOMERSET, KY, March ga fright
full collision occurred on the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific at Pine
Knot, KY, about 3 O'Clock yesterday
evening, which resulted in the killing
OF one man, the fatal injuring of another
and the serious wounding of others, be-
side the damage to the railroad. The
killed and injured are:
Fireman JOHN ADAMS, of Lexington,
killed outright; body still under cars.
Sol PERKINS, q tramp, injured internally,
will die.
Conductor GREEN PORCH, of this place,
badly bruised about the face.
Engineer L. b. MURRAY, leg broken.
Brakeman JAMES GossETT, hip joint dislo-
Gated.
Brakeman WILLIAM JONES, leg fractured.
The blame is placed on Conductor
Taylor and Engineer Murray,Of Freight
No. 20, who, it seems, attempted to run
from State Line to Pine Knot ahead of
time. Conductor Green Porch had orders
to run to State Line on Freight No. 10
regardless of No. 20. When No. 20 was
within mile of Pine Knot Porch's
train dashed from beyond curve and
went crashing into it before the men
on either train had time to jump. The
engines were shattered into fragments
on the rebound. Ten cars tOppled over
the embankment, and were shattered
into splinters. Drs. |. S. Warren and
George Perkins, of this place, were
wired for, and went on the wrecking
train to relieve the wounded. Taylor is
a new man, and came highly recon-
mended. Porch is from this place. and
is one of the best conductors on the
road. Porch had orders to run to State
Line regardless of No. 20. Taylor tried
to make Pine Knot on FIVE minutes
time, and the above frightful catas-
trOphe was the result. This is the sec
Ond accident that has occurred at that
place since the road was constructed.
Trains will be delayed until about noon
to-day. The killed will be brought here
some time to-day.

WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN"
Miss Efie EIIsler and Her Com
pany Drew a Big House at the
Grand

Miss Effie ElIsler and Her Com
pany Drew a Big House at the
Grand.
Miss Fife Ellsler made her first APP
pearance in six years in st. Paul last
night, and was welcomed by an audi
ence that nearly filled the Grand opera
house. Her facility for stirring the
deeper emotions of an audience is as
great as it was in the days
when she played ''Hazel Kirke"
and "a Heroine in Rags" During the
third and fourth acts particularly. peck
ct handkerchiefs were in active demand,
and sigh of relief went up from the
audience when the curtain rose on the
fifth act with its picture of the restora-
ton of better days to the heart-broken
wife.
In his play of ''Woman Against
Woman Frank Harvey has taken
great deal of dramatic license. The
play possesses a fair degree of lntellec-
tuality, and some OF the situations are
exceedingly strong. But it is portrayal
of life as it never existed. Bessie Bar
ton, the heroine, is made to bear heart
burden that it is impossible for human
nature to endure. In all the heroism
of life there. has never been
an actual illustration of such COM
plete self-abnegation where an honest
woman will submit to the sacrifice OF
her own character, the forfeiture of her
husbands esteem, the Wrecking OF her
own home and the death of her own
child. in order to shield from publicity
the shame OF a cruel, hard-hearted sis
ter. The play is not only lacking III
fidelity to life as it exists on earth, but
is also lacking in q good moral. Be
sides, it has too somber tinge-the
dead March in SauP' hue all over it.
Miss Ellsler and her excellent com
pany make the most that can be made
of play with such morbid character
istcs. In some of the strong emotional
parts Miss Ellsler gives superb inter
probation as viewed from an artistic
Standpoint. Mr. Weston plays the UNI
natural husband to perfection. Miss
Field, young and pretty Louisville
debutante, sustains herself well
in the part of the naughty
and ambitious sister, although she Still
betrays little amateurishness i'll her
stage movements. The brightest and
most yivacious role of the entire per-
Torrance is Miss Lizzie LIE BarrOn'S i'm
personation of Rachel WestwoOd. 1t is
an ugly part to play, but Miss LIE Bar
ron's piquant art relieves the character
OF good deal of its disagreeable sug-
gestlveness.

TO DROWN HER GRIEF.
A Woman Whose Child Had Died
Took to Drink.

A matronly looking woman, wearing
deep mourning, who answered to tn e
name of Anna Smith, was brought into
the police court at 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, charged by Officer Hoenck
with being drunk and disorderly. Her
features, which were naturally refined,
showed the marks of dissipation, but it
was evident from her dress and man
ners that her station in life was far
above the ordinary run of police court
prisoners. She covered her face with
her hands and wept copiously as she
told the Judge that she had recently
lost her only child and had taken
to drink to drown her grief.
Judge Cory gave her a lecture and SEN
fenced her to ninety days in the work
house, and this sentence was suspended
when her husband came few moments
later and took her away. 1t was at his
instigation that she was arrested, with
the intention of frightening her into re-
forming.

Was the Coachman at Fault?

J. II. White, a cOachman for E. /.
Frost, who was arrested by officer Tom
Lynch Saturday night charged with
being drunk and disorderly and resist

and acquitted. A. M. Lawton, who was
with White, claimed to be an eye-wit-
ness to the arrest, was placed upon
the stand and endeavored to
show that the officer was drunk
and the prisoner sober. White has
sworn out warrant, charging the Off
Ger with assault and battery, and Law
ton has filed charge against the officer
with the mayor. There is no good evil
dence to show that officer Lynch ex-
ceeded his authority, and witnesses
will be produced to impeach Lawton's
testimony.

TO COVER THE SLOT.
A Device That 1t Is Claimed Will
Work Automatically.

E. V. Schranck, who keeps shoe
store at the corner of Fourth and Wa
basha streets, has invented device to
cover the cable slot at street crossings.
1t consists of an iron or. steel strip at
tached by hinges to the outside of one
of the rails forming the slot. The edges
are beveled and the ends of each piece
somewhat curved. In the model made
by Mr.. Schranck, he has bit of iron on
the grip car which, coming against the
curved and beveled end of the cover
ing, raises it, turning it upward on the
hinges enoug h to allow the grip attach
ment to pass along, after which it falls
by it's own weight. His idea is to have
these coverings made in several sec
lions, each section being complete.
piece by itself. The model, which is
exhibited at the GLOBE office, worked
smoothly, all that was necessary being
to push the grip model along the slot,
when the covering pieces were lifted
