AID. DEAD.
Quick Consumption Ends His
Life at It's Prime.

1t has been known for some months
that Aid. d. G. Thompson was in pre-
cariouS health, but few were prepared
for the news of his death at an early
hour yesterday morning. The aus of
his demise was quick consumption,
which attacked him only about a
year ago. During the summer he visited
Denver, seeking relief by atmospheric
change, but grew rapidly worse, and
when he returned it was with the be-
lief that he could not live long. With
char cteristic energy, however, he at
tended to his business and his duties as
alderman, and it was only four weeks
ago that he attended the meeting of
the council at which final action
in the cable franchise was
taken. MI. Thompson was thirty
one years of age. and was born in
Ulster county, n. Y. lie came to Min
neapolis in 1878, and went to work at
his trade as a carpenter and builder.
The following year he was married to
Miss Abbie Brown, daughter of DR..
William Brown. She died five months
ago, leaving two sons, aged five and
seven years. who are now left father
less as we'll as mOtherless. In the
eleven years of his life spent
in Minneapolis Aid. Thompson
gained a place in the affections
and confidence of his neighbors. and in
the words of one of them, No man
could. be missed more in the Eighth
wardfhan Dan Thompson" He was
an upright man, conscientious in the
discharge of what he believed to be his
duty, and his death at his very prime
seems a sad ending indeed to a life so
useful. The funeral occurs tomorrow
afternoon from the residence, 2514
Fourth avenue south.

ALBERT SHAW HOME.
After a Sixteen-Months Tour of
Europe and Asia Minor.

DR.. Albert Shaw. formerly editorial
writer on the Tribune, has returned
after a siXteen-months vacation in
Europe. Mr.. Shaw returns improved in
health and says, though he did not at
tempt the feat of mounting any Euro
pean throne, he had a royal time. His
tour took him from London to Asia
Minor and way down in Egypt's
London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Con-
stantlnople came in his path and he
made protracted visits to each. AS in
dicated in many of his letters home he
was not out entirely for the sake of
being out, but to do some study be-
sides. He made, for instance, a study
of municipal economies in Glasgow,
Vienna, Berlin and other cities; worked
up information in milling at Buda
Pesth, and became, he AYERS, quite en-
amOred of the hungarian race,
whom he describes as lively,
happy and sociable: full of bright
ideas, lovers of music and pleas
ant cOnversatiOnalISts. HIS visit to
Ireland was devoted to a patient inveS-
tigatiOn of the land question, and he
came from the Emerald Isle impressed
with the fact that it is as miserable as
it is painted. especially in the smaller
towns remote from the railways.
Mr.. Shaw has thrown some of the
ideas gathered into literary form for
magazine articles, two OF three of which
have been published, and several of
which await publication in the Century
and other magazines. He has not fully
determined on his course, but it is prob
able he Will return to the Tribune, Mr..
Blethen having made him an offer to re-
sumo his editorial duties.

THE HEAD OF THE CORNER"

The Laying of the Corner Stone
of ST. Stephens Church.
The corner stone of st. Stephens Cath
Ollie church was laid yesterday after
noon with elaborate ceremonies. The
foundation has been completed for the
edifice at the corner of Clinton avenue
and Twenty-second street, and all was
placed in readiness Saturday for the
ceremony of laying the corner stone. A
large audience of the Catholic people Of
South Minneapolis and from other POI
tons of the city had gathered at the
church site before 4 o'clock, and, in
spite of the sultry weather. attended the
exercises, manifeSting much interest in
every ceremony.
Archbishop Ireland officiated in all
the exercises of the afternoon. He was
attended by Father Stanley, of the
cathedral, st. Paul; Father Byrnes,
Father James McGolrick, Father Henry
McGolrick. Father Dagnault. Father
Brewer and Father Hogan. Father
Kenny.the pastor of the parish of which
the new church is to be the temple of
worship. was also in attendance.
When thesLitany of the Saints had
been raad, the ground over the spot on
which the altar is to stand was blessed,
then the corner stone itself was blessed,
and from it the priests posed about the
foundations, blessing the whole.
Arriving again at the platform erected
near the orner stone, Father Stanley
preached the sermon. He took his text
from the thirteenth chapter of Matthew:
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a
grain of mustard seed, which a man took and
sowed in his ~held-which, indeed, is the least
of seeds, but when it is grown. ii is the great
est OF herbs. and becometh a tree so that the
birds of the air come and lodge in the
branches thereof.
He spoke of bow the city of Minneap-
oils had sprung up within the memory
of most of his hearers; how for years
the Catholic church had held but a
small place among the people. and her
edlices scarce worthy of the name OF
temple of God. But now the church
had a growth equal with that of the
city. He commended the brethren for
their action. He then gave a brief
sketch of the history of the Catholic
church from the time of Christ, who
he said was its founder. Particularly,
he spoke Of the church in America,
showing how it had overcome all diff
culties and prejudices, until now it
held a high place among the churches,
II all IHe people were feduy W SPEAK
well of it.
Bishop Ireland spoke very briefly,
congratulating the people on their
action in building such an edifice.
Divisions l, 2, 8, 4anI 5. A. o. H.; the
H"ibernian rifles and drum corps, and
the Crusaders and Father Mathews
Temperance societies were present in
rank, and took part In the exercises.
The new church will be a magnificent
structure when completed. The build
ing is 46X126 feet, and has a seating ca
pacity of 1000. The style of the archi-
lecture is Romanesque, and the struct-
ure when completed will cost about
$40. 900.

TOUGH, If TRUE.
A Damaging Charge Against NJ. G.
Brady, the Attorney.

AE III nv gltJOLhCI
A Jewish lady named Levi, who re-
Gently came to Minneapolis from Chi
cago. on Saturday applied to the munich
pal court for a warrant for the arrest of
NJ. c. Brady. the attorney, supon the
charge of larceny. Her story was that
she brought to the city a carload of
household goods. valued at about $1,000,
which she contemplated exchanging for
real estate. She needed an attorney,
and secured Brady'S services. An alb
stract of the property she was to pur-
chase was obtained, and other prelim-
inaries were arranged. She also fur
nished him a bill Of sale. as we'll as a
bill of lading, to the furniture
to be given in exchange for
the real estate. Finally, however,
the deal fell through. When she came
to demaud the return of the bill of sale
on the furniture, Brady disappeared,
and she subsequently aScertained that
the furniture had been removed to some
place unknown to her. Her SUPPOSE
ton is that Brady, having the bill of
sale, had sold the goods. A warrant was
not gwen her, but in accordance with
the instructions of Judge Emery one Is
to be issued to her to-day. With this
understanding the police department
yesterday telegraphed the authorities at
Anoka. where Brady is reported to be,
to arrest him. No word had been re-
ceiyed in reply up to midnight.
Brady has practiced law in Minneapo-
lis for two years, and is quite we'll
known. The statements made as to his
conduct by Mrs. Levi will be a surprise
to his friends, and there is a probability
that the matter may be explained salts
factOrily.

be put in before the long cables. 1t will
take 5000 men to do the work contem-
plated next summer, and according to
the report of Engineer Wise the enor-
nous amount of 100000 pounds of
iron and castings will be needed: 3,0OO,-
900 brick will go into the power
houses; 100000 feet of oak lQm-
Der. and 100000 feet of pine
Will also gointo the same. The slot rail
to be used will be the Bass slot rail, the
heaviest and best steel slot rail used in
Providence girder rail. All the iron to
be used, if rolled into telegraph wire,
would enwrap the earth twelve and one
hall times. A total of 5000 carloads of
material will be used. Four Corliss en-
gines. with a total capacity of 5000 horse
power, will drive the cables, and each
engine will have a 24foot fly wheel.
weighing $4,000 pounds. These are
some of the interesting figures which
are soon to be reduced to practical facts
in cable building.
President Lowry does not stop with
his city cable schemes. He says he is
going to build an interurban cable to
connect the two cities. if st. Paul does
not block his plans. The route he con-
templates taking is down University
avenue, if the right of way can be OBJ
tanned on that street. If this scheme
goes through the fare will not exceed
10 cents each way. In this view of af-
fairs Mr.. Lowry considers the Thomson
Houston proposed line in very lively
competition with his lines. but he pro-
poses to take time by the forelock.

Is not only a distressing complaint, of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla 1 could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life"
