leaves Chicago at 8 p. m, and Ia due In St

Negligence Lost Him His Life.

Coroner Quinn held an inquest yester-
day afternoon at the undertaking eStab-
lishment of O'Hallaran & Murphy, to
investigate the causes which led to the
death of w. r. Baker, the young. man
who died at st. Joseph's hospital last
Sunday from injuries in testing fire
escape at the Hotel Ryan. A. j. Cherry,
the Indianapolis man by whom Baker
was employed, was the principal witness.
He testified that the deceased was work
ing on commission and was practically
exhibiting the apparatus in his own
interests and on his own responsibility
The broken rope was introduced in eyl-
dence, and appeared to be very in
ferior rope for so hazardous an under
taking, but Mr.. Cherry's testimony was
to the effect that four new ropes were
at Bakers command, but that he Sc
lected the inferior one, and that the
negligence was his own. After the in
PRODUCTION of the oral testimony the
rooms was cleared of the witnesses. re-
portorS and spectators, and the anti
mortem statement of the deceased was
placed before the jury, who returned
the following verdict after some delib-
eration: THAT death resulted from
injuries sustained from fall at the
Hotel Ryan March 6, 1889, said fall re-
sulting from the breaking of a rope of
fire escape on which he was descending,

BROWNS BILL is BAD.

Opposition to Senate File No.
$40.
The St. Paul Jobbers' union held a
protracted meeting in executive session
yesterday afternoon. The election of
officers for the ensuing year was one of
the objects of the meeting, and resulted
as follows: w. B. Dean, president; c.
III. Kellogg, first vice president; D.. r.
Moves, second vice president; Milton G.
Griggs, treasurer, and A. S. Tallmadge,
secretary. The following resolution
was unanimously passed.:
Resolved, That the st. Paul Jobbers'
Union does not approve of Senate File
No. $40, introduced by Senator Brown.
and now under consideration by the
Minnesota legislature, the object of said
bill being to compel the railroads of
this state to sell mileage tickets in such
manner as to make them available to
any person who may be the holder of
the same. We believe that the object
of said bill would defeat the objects for
which the railroads have heretofore
issued said mileage books-for the use
of commercial travellers, who are con-
stantly on the road. and to whom proper
concessions are just and proper.

Lecture on Smelling.

At Fort Smelling on Thursday even
ing an interesting lecture was delivered
in the Upper Post hall by the Rev. DR..
Neill. professor of history of Manchester
college. The subject was 1.-THE Early
History of Fort Snelling," and the many
local hits made by the professor, COM
bined with his sparkling wit and humor,
entertained the audience in high de-
gree. Many expressions of regret were
heard that owing to lack of time the
lecture was rather abruptly brought to
a close. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
manding officer. anxious as he always is
to promote the educational welfare of
those in his command. will repeat the
invitation at no distant date. The Third
Infantry band contributed suitable Sc
lections in an excellent manner.
