THE VETERANS LEAGUE.
A Meeting to Organize in the State
TO BE Held on the 18th Inst.

On the 18th inst. one Of the most sig
nifcant meetings Of the year in a po-
litical sense will take place at Elk's
hall. 1t will be a convention of the
Veterans Union league to form state
organization. The movement in Min
nesota started in Minneapolis with
the organization of the veterans
league here, which succeeded the
old soldiers Harrison and Morton
club. Several meetings have been held
and circular sent out to many towns
where there are G. A. r. posts, lnciOS-
ing draught of proposed constitution
for state league, and the return OF an
Swers from posts asking for more in
formation and expressing desire to
it seems as. if the coming state
meeting will pave the way for
an organization powerful from its in
ception. The plan is to organize one of
these leagues in every town containing
a q. A. r. post and several minor
leagues in the larger cities, all to be-
long to the state organization, like the
Republican league of clubs. The OBJ
jects of the Veterans league will
be political. and by taking in
the Sons Veterans it can be made
to include such a strong faction of
voters as to become truly formidable.
Other states besides Minnesota will
have veteran leagues. and enthusiastic
workers in Minneapolis who have had
charge of the correspondence says it
can be worked up to 1000 members in
this state, and in the Union to
enough to control the presiden-
tial elections. ''Then," he said,
''there will be no dudes like
and-(naming two young men from
Minneapolis who have leapt into po-
litical prominence and secured appoint
ments) appointed to Office, but old SOL
diers who have fought for their coun-
try. 1.-The league will be Republican,
but will not be irrevocably tied to the
grand old party, but only so
long as its interests are served
by the Republican party. This is
almost the language of a clause in the
iZatiOn which is soon to be sprung upon
a peaceful land. AS might be expected
there are plenty of candidates for the
positions of trust and power in an Or
ganization which bids fair to the
G. o. P. the right oblique from its
present line of march. The presidency
will be especially desired, for the honor
it will confer, and for that honor there
are a number of distinguished aSpi-
rants, among whom might be named
Judge H. G. Hicks, Sheriff James II.
Eye, Gen. j. Ii. Baker, Gen. S. P. Jen-
niSon, of Red Wing, possibly Judge Rea
and others. The headquarters will I'M
doubtedly be located at Minneapolis,
where the main strength of the organi-
cation will lie.

x. OF L. BUILDING.
The Association Holds a Meeting
to Discuss Finances,

The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Knights of Labor
Building association was held last even
ing at the labor temple with large at
tendance. The earlier part of the even
ing was spent in the discussion of the
associations finances, the subject hav-
ing been introduced by the reading of
the secretary'S report for the year just
past. The report shows that the
total Indebtedness, including the
s25, 900 mortgage on the real estate, is
sS7, 357, and the directors are now en-
gagged in negotiating loan of S37, 000 at
per cent. The Indebtedness at pres
ent. aside from the mortgage, is in sew
eral small sums. amounting to S2.357,
and on this as we'll as on the mortgage
the association is paying per cent in
terest. In order to negotiate the loan,
they find it necessary to secure i've
bondsmen, and three have already been
obtained. The directors expect to Sc
cure the other two. and settle the whole
matter in a short time now. The fol-
lowing officers and directors were
elected last evening: President, T. A.
Clark; secretary. Ole BUREN,; treas
urer, j. Mccarthy; directors, E. B.
Murphy, Ed Martin and Frank Walton.

ToILERs WILL TRIUMPH.
Dock Directors Show Signs Of
Yielding.


LONDON, Sept. 3. 1t is believed that
the dock directors will yield by Thurs
day. Mr.. Norwood sent telegram re-
QueSting conference with deputation
of the strikers late this evening. Mr..
Burns, addressing meeting at Ber-
mondsey tonight, justified the mani
festO calling for general strike on the
ground that it had drawn greater at
tentiOn to the appeal for funds. He an
nOunced that he intended immedi-
ately to promote strike in Glasgow.
The lord mayor will return to London
on Friday for the special purpose of in
terceding with the dock companies in
behalf of the strikers. If necessary he
will call meeting of citizens to discuss
4 the situation. Aid. Belsey, who is a
large shareholder in the dock COM
panies, in speech at Rochester tonight
denounced the action of the dock di-
rectOrs. An important trade society
has subscribed $500 to the strikers
fund. The strike at Liverpool now
only affects 500 men formerly employed
at the South docks. The men at the
North docks have resumed work at the
old terms. The
STRIKERS ARE BADLY ORGANIZED,
and the companies hope that all will re-
turn to work tomorrow. The strike
committee here contemplate issuing a
manifesto setting forth the conditions
on which they will permit the dock men
to resume work. The trades congress
has rejected, by vote of 1T to II. a
motion Of want of confidence in Mr..
Broadhurst, member of parliament,
based upon an accusation that
he had taken shares of a
firm that ''sweated" and employed
foreign workmen. One thousand re-
lief tickets of the value of one shilling
each were issued yesterday. 1t is sug-
gested that the lord mayor, the governor
of the Bank of England. and the presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce might
succeed in settling the dispute between
the men and the employers.
The dock directors have again issued
a statement of the terms they are will
ing to concede.

MRS. sURRATTs ACCUsER.
The Death or the Noted Criminal
Benjamin Spandauer.

The Death or the Noted Criminal,
Benjamin Spandauer.
Baltimore Sun.
Benjamin Spandauer, we'll known
criminal and confidence man, died yes
terday in the Maryland penitentiary of
bowel complaint, after an Illness of
several weeks. He had been confined
to his bed for several days. Spandauer
is credited with being the main witness
for the United States against Mrs. Sur
raft. who was hanged for alleged COM
pllcity in the murder of President Abra-
ham Lincoln. He also figured consider
ably. it is stated, as a detective III the
employ of the government in the prose-
cution of John II. SuTratt in 1868. The
trial lasted for three or four weeks.
The witnesses Spandauer furnished, 1t
is charged, were summoned TO Washing
ton and kept at the National hotel at
the government expense for some time,
but were never called upon to testify.
This charge always stuck to him, and
wherever he went he was pointed out
the main witness againStMrS Surratt.
The offense for which he went to the
state prison was securing $40 under false
pretenseS from his brOther-in-laW,
George A. Rettler. He was accused of
obtaining $50 from George a. Mailman
under false representations. Mailman
was cousin to Spandauer's wife and
had been promised position with the
Baltimore City Passenger railway. On
June % Spandauer was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary.
Deputy Marshal Lannan, in discuss
ing Spandauer's record last night, said:

got to know him better on going to
the central police station in 1874. He
was known as mean, low confidence
man, and had been arrested on numer-
Gus petty charges. He was arrested in
1883 by Detective Droste, and got term
in jail. The term he was serving when
he died was the only one in the peni-
tertiary"
He was born in Bavaria, Germany,
and was about fifty-nine years old. He
had black hair, eyes and side whiskers,

AFFLICTED BY EVIL SPIRIT.
A Woman Who Had Been Tor
tured Eighteen Years Released
nv Death


by Death.
Cleveland Leader.
Mrs. Catherine Paehl, several ac-
counts of whose remarkable condition
appeared in the Leader, died yesterday.
She lived for eighteen years in the de-
fusion that her body was inhabited by a
demon. During all that time she suf-
fered the most intense mental torture,
and was rarely able to sleep. The al
legged evil spirit apparently made strange
noises within her, and spoke unknown
languages, and never permitted her a
moments peace. Ministers were called
in with appeals to drive the demon out
with prayers, and doctors were sum-
moned that they might exercise the
skill of their profession. About
two years ago number of
women took an interest in the
case and sent her to Pittsburg, where
she had heard that there was a priest
who had turned many evil spirits from
their human tenements into the cold
world. There she received good advice
and her mind was greatly improved,
but after her return home she yielded
to the old delusion. Some months ago
the spirit" was apparently moved by
entreaty to leave her. and it was said he
then proposed to go either to Toledo or
Switzerland. The woman's mental
aff1iction was accompanied by bodily
ailment, and she was long an invalid.
A number OF charitable women provided
her with food and she was given aid by
the infrmary, but she lived dismal
life. She had few relatives, who
were poor and little inclined to give her
aid or encouragement. There was no
one to guide her thoughts away
from the subject of her suffering,
and she spent her time in soli-
tude, brooding over her melancholy
plight and struggling against the tor
lures of the demon she supposed pos
sessed her. She imagined that it was
genuine imp of the pit and had taken
possession of her body that she should
suffer for sins committed by one of her
ancestors. The woman lived with her
married daughter on small street in
terSecting kinSman, and the home is to-
day in all probability the most desc
late in the city. The husband is said to
have little ambition, his wife has been
unnerved by her trials, the family is
destitute, one of their children has the
measles, and two of the other children
are Frustrated by typhoid fever, from
which the oldest will probably not re-
cover Mrs. Paehl was reduced to a
mere skeleton by her suffering, and her
death was simply due to the continual
drain upon her vital forces, and the
fact that from the lack of food and sleep
there had been no opportunity for their
recuperatlOn.

Cardinal Newman's Old Age.

DOSlOu 0OuIudi.
Cardinal Newman. who is now in his
eighty-nlnth year, cordially receives
American visitors whenever his health
permits. He is simple to a degree in
his habits, getting up until quite lately,
even if he does not do so still, b etween
5 and in the morning, both in
summer and winter. He then
says mass in chapel adjoin-
ing his bedroom and afterwards takes
his breakfast, and during the day pre-
sides over the meals of the farmers at
o'clock and at 6. On great feast days
such as that of st. Philip Neri, who
founded the congregation, or of st.
Peter and Paul-the cardinal conducts
the service of benediction for the boys
in the school chapel, but even this light
effort has been more than he could fire.

or three years.

a BANKRUPT LAW.

The principal business of the COM
mercial national convention, which as
sembled in Minneapolis yesterday, is to
consider and adopt the general outline
of national bankrupt bill to be sub
mitted to the next congress for the ap-
proval of that body. The necessity for
a bankrupt law Is admitted by the COM
mercial classes. and probably the old
law would never have been repea led if
it had been as plain and economical of
administration as it is proposed to make
the new one. There is manifest dis
position to simplify proceedings in
bankruptcy under the operations of the
proposed law, and there is but little
doubt that the convention now in ses-
sion at Minneapolis will succeed in
drafting such a bill as will be accept
able to congress. One proposition that
meets with popular favor is to have
bankrupt proceedings lodged with the
district court of the United States, one
of the assistant judges to act as referee
and to be paid stated salary. Besides
his functions as referee, he is to be made
trustee in small estates, TO serve
without additional compensation. In
cases of large estates and ordinary
bankruptcy the trustee is to be named
by the creditors. No preferences are
to be allowed. except such as can be
shown for the security of valid liens,
and these are to be carefully protected.
1t is also proposed that in settlements
the bankrupts are to be allowed ex-
emptions in accordance with the laws
of the state in which proceedings are
instituted, and they are to be discharged
without reference to the dividends the
estate yields. By these provisions it is
expected to remedy the defects of the
old law, and to provide one that will be
so acceptable that it will remain a per-
manent feature of our national legisla-
ton.

the business since July Is, 1889, and has
completely shut him out. The action
is for an accounting between them, and
the plaintiff asks that his partner be en-
