PROBABLY PARALYSIS.
The Death OF III. w. McNair--Some-
thing of His Life.

The intelligence came yesterday
morning of the death, at Tacoma, of
Hugh w. McNair, of this city. 1t was
reported he died of an overdose of NOR
phine, but this is not credited by his
friends here. Isaac McNair, his brother
in-law, said he had no doubt death re-
suited from paralysis, as Mr.. McNair
too well understood the properties of
morphine to take the overdose repre-
sented. During the early winter, Mr..
McNair went to California to attend Ed
w. Wilson during his sickness, and
when relieved by E. NJ. Wilson's ar
rival, started home. He should never
have travelled alone. as he was subject
to severe rheumatic attacks, one of
which doubtless struck him while at
Tacoma. A telegram was sent from here
yesterday morning, ordering the re-
mains forwarded here, whence they will
be taken to Groveland, n. Y, for inter-
ment.
Hugh W. McNair was a brother of the
late w. w. McNair and Mrs. Isaac Nc
Nair. and was forty-nine years of age.
He came here about thirteen years ago,
and organized the firm of Nelson. Ten
ney & CO., from which he afterward re-
tired. He was quite wealthy and was
given to investing in fancy stock, being
interested with his brother in the Nc
Nair farm, as well as the fancy stock
farm at Lake Mary, Wright county.
Few men were better known about the
city or more general ly popular. He was
unmarried, but his mother and sister
reside at Groveland, n. Y.

The Board of Trade to the Rescue
With n Su&geStiOn

Inc bOaFu Oh Afduc ~ CHo IeSSCuC
With Il Suggestion.
F. C. Nickels, at the board Of trade
meeting yesterday, offered the follow
ing resolution. which was unanimously
adopted: "Whereas, The members of
the First regiment, Minnesota national
guard, five years ago borrowed enough
money to build the armory; and,
whereas, since that time the Organiza-
ton has uniformed itself, fitted up and
furnished the armory, paid interest and
taxes, and generally maintained first
class and effective military organization
without outside assistance and at large
expense to themselves: and, whereas
the members of these military compa-
MES have given their time and money for
the good of the cause, beyond which
they find it impossible to pay the debt
on the armory building, contracted when
it was erected: and, whereas an effect
i've, active military organization is nee
essary in this, as in other cities, for the
protection of both public and private
property, in case of riot or other serious
disturbances, every citizen of Minneap-
oils realizes the absolute necessity for a
well organized and equipped body of men
sworn to protect life and property, as
an aid to the civil authorities; and
whereas, it will be impossible to keep
up the organization unless sufficient
funds are raised to pay off the debt on
it: therefore, be ito resolved, that in
the wisdom of this board it is the duty
of every loyal citizen to aid so far as
possible the efforts of the armory asSO-
citation in raising the debt that now bur-
denS it,"

The little town of Revillo, in Grant

Word was received from there yester-

S. c. Harris, editor of Harris Graphic,
az that place, is in the city and unable to
return home. He was questioned about
the situation. and said:
The WATERFOWL division has been
open but few days this winter clear
through. The blockade extends from
Morton through to RevillO and is the
worst | ever knew. The snow has
thawed and frozen again until now it is
one solid mass OF ice. Nothing but the
slow work of the pick could open the
track now. and l suppose it will stay
closed until the sun opens it in the
spring. The road has carried trains at
intervals as far as Morton, but now there
is absolutely no distance open. No
trains are leaving Minneapolis now and
traffic is absolutely suspended"

A Choral Concert.

The concert given last night by the
choral class of the Northwestern Con-
servatory of Music in Dyer's music hall
was a most successful event, the at
tendance especially being very large and
the chorus singing of a high order.
These concerts are given principally to
advertise the conservatory, and it is
most excellent way to do it, as it shows
the pupils of the institution in very
good light. The programme was
strong one, its most attractive number
being the cantata for ladies' voices,
1.-The Sleeping Beauty" by Tennyson,
music by Henry Lahee. This trying
composition was rendered in such an
easy and flowing style that it
seemed to surprise everybody. 1t
is divided into numerous parts,
opening with the Sleeping Palace
and merging conSecutively onward into
the sleeping Beauty" 1.-The Arrival"
the "Revival," and the lengthy DE
parture' which brings it to a close. In
this latter portion the singing of Miss
Thompson in the solo 30 Wake For
ever" attracted great attention and was
given a good deal of applause. The
opening part of the programme was
given up to songs in which the Misses
Stevens, Ludlum and Thompson took a
prominent part. The whole performance
reflected creditably on the Northwestern
Conservatory of music as a Minneapolis
institution.

A PIONEER'S DEATH.
Major Abram Fridley's Demise
Sketch of His Life.

Mai. Abram Mccormack Fridley, of
Fridley, after whom the township of
Fridley was named, died at his residence
yesterday morning, of dropsy of the
the heart, after long illness. He leaves
wife and three sons-H. c., Frank and
d. Hall grown to mans estate. The
funeral will be held to-day from the
family residence, Rev. Mr.. Graham
officiating Mai. Fridley, while sheriff
of Ramsey county, hung the first man
ever legally executed in Minnesota. He
sprung the trap with his own hands.
Few men in Minnesota, outside Of st.
Paul, were more fully identified with
the early history Of the state than was
Abram Mccormack Fridley, who was
born on May l, 1917, in Painted Post,
now Corning, Steuben county, New
York. His parents, John and Catherine
Heckert Fridley, were PennSylvanians
many to this country. In April, 1851 Mr..
Fridley arrived in Minnesota territory
as agent for the WinnebagO Indians,
then located at Long Prairie, Todd
county, that Office giving him the title
of major. That year he was admitted
to practice law in all the courts of the
territory. having read law in Corning,
n. Y, with Judge johnson. Two yeaIS
later he moved to st. Paul, and that
year, 1858, was elected sheriff of Ram
sey county. The next year he re-
moved to the Falls of st. An
tnony, and was elected to the
territorial legislature. A little later he
moved four miles above the falls, where
he farmed for several years. While
there he represented the district in the
state legislature. He afterwards moved
into the village of Manomin. In 1869
Maj. Fridley settled at Becker, Sher-
burne county, on the st. Paul q Pacific
road, where he engaged in farming,
having 600 acres in crops in the season
of 1879. Since becoming resident
of this county he has been in
the legislature twice, being a
member of that body the last time in
1878. He was good worker and al
ways had the interests of the state at
heart. He was a regent of the state
university four years, and was member
of the executive committee of the State
Agricultural society for five years past.
Maj. Fridley was a radical Wing while
there was such party, and since its
dissolution acted with the Democracy.
In 1860 he was delegate to the national
Democratic convention at Charleston,
S. c., and also of the one held at Balti-
more. His religious views were rather
liberal, and were subject to frequent
changes.
