Mrs. Taylor Released from Custody.
At Onancock, Va, Judge Gunter, of the cir
cult court, has overruled the verdict of the
jury that convicted Mrs. Virginia Taylor last
March OF the murder of her husband and fixed
her punishment at five years in the peniten-
tiary. In overruling the verdict Judge Gunter
holds that the jury should either have found
Mrs. Taylor guilty of murder in the first de-
gree or have acquitted her. The new code of
Virginia provides that when a verdict in a
criminal case is set aside the accused shall
not be tried for any offense greater than
that OF which he was convicted on the
previous trial Mrs. Taylor cannot, therefore,
be tried again for murder in the first degree.
and Judge Gunter decided that the nature of
the case does not warrant conviction of less
offense. Judge Gunter has accordingly or
dered Mrs. Taylor to be discharged from Gus
tody, and she is now enjoying the first free
dom from confinement since her arrest last
Christmas. She left for home, near Modest
town. The verdict Of the jury in finding her
guilty Of murder in the second degree was
known TO be unwarranted by the facts in the
case. IL is said the jury rendered that verdict
because they were opposed to hanging a
woman.

A NOVEL PARK.
A Proposition to Widen Park and
University Avenues.


The park board had called to it's at.
tention yesterday the most novel propo.
sition that has ever been brought be-
fore it. University avenue has long ex-
hibited the possibilities Of one of the
finest drives in the city. 1t runs from
Central avenue in line through the
most beautiful residence portion of the
TWO cities to Summit avenue, st. Paul
Minneapolis has never recognized its
natural beauty nor expected much on
improving it until lately, when the Sec
ond ward began to grade from Oak
street to the city limits. st. Paul. on the
other hand. has transformed her portion
of University avenue into a splendid
driveway 1870 feet wide, and has ex-
pended large sums of money in grading
and tree planting. Now Minneap polls
proposes to do better than st. Paul with
the street. The plan, as stated yester-
day in the park commission by DR.. Fol
well, is to widen the street from the city
limits to Fourteenth avenue southeast.
The extra ground to do that has been
obtained already for mile in front of
the old university farm. There are nc
large buildings on the street, and the
land could be obtained very cheap,
if not for nothing, since the I'M
provements proposed to be made would
ouadruple the value Of property along
the street. The further proposition is
to divide the street into two roadwayS,
each thirty feet wide, allowing fourteen
feet on each side for walks. That
would leave thirty-tWO feet in the center
of the street to be made into park,
with grass. trees and walks. At the
point opposite the university campus ii
is thought sufficient ground would be
given by the regents to make
100 feet, and widen the park
space in the middle to sixty feet.
In that case the roadway farther from
the campus would be made forty feet.
and travel induced to take that side.
The plan is the most novel one for a
park yet heard of in Minneapolis and all
the members of the park board were
very much taken with it. No action
was taken yesterday, but the East
siders will push it to successful issue.
as they are very enthusiastic over it.
Citizens of EwelPs addition petition to
be allowed to take charge of the plant
ing of trees there and to have charge of
those already planted there. Twenty
four sixteen-foot cedar boats were Or
dered from Capt. Moore. of WayZata,
for $500. An application for ten
mis- courts in Prospect park was
referred to the superintendent.
Arthur McMullen offered 1,700 for lot
5, of block 80, st. Anthony city, which
lot the board are anxious to dispose of.
The following offers of land were made

ENGLISH As SHE Is SPOKE.

Why is it that a red-hot and dead
game sport, in relating narrative, al
ways speaks in the present tense. The
representatives of the ultra sporting
fraternity who are seen at the races,
the ball games and the sporting clubs
are all more or less addicted to this pc
culiar habit, and in most cases it is no
affectation. but seems to be natural
way Of making statements OF all
kinds For instance, sport who
attended the late contest in
Mississippi commenced description of
the mill with the statement: Now
I'm at the fight. l have new suit of
clothes, pretty gay, you know, and [
have ticket, only costs me SIS, that's
all. Well, Mccartney he's next to me,
and lots of other dead game people.
The fight commences; it's getting pretty
hot down there"-and so on to the end
of the seventy-ffth round. No one
seems to know just why it is so, but
hundreds of men speak i'll that way. 1t
may be that they are imbued with that
same desire to be graphic and forcible
in their descriptions which urged
the Journals representative to inscrlbe
those touching lines, 1T is beautiful
night, too beautiful for man to die"
or it may be an imitation of some king
bee sport who has accidentally con-
tracted the peculiar habit. On the
whole. the practice lends rather pict-
uresQue tint to conversation, and when
added to a white serge shirt, tennis
blazer, russell leather shoes and red
tie, iU Identifies the speaker with the
2:2O class from the start.

A Ride Across Europe.

Pell Mail CaZeIte.
A correspondent in Paris sends me an
interesting account of Lieut.. Asseyeff's
ride from Lubni, in POltava, to the
Paris exhibition. He is only twenty
five years old. When he determined to
go to Paris he followed the Car Nicho-
las method of laying out route, with a
difference. He did not use ruler. He
took thread, and stretching it across
the map from Lubni to Paris, marked
off his route in straight line.
Then he started on horseback alone.
Lieut.. Asseyeff rode one horse and led
another, on the Turkoman system. rid
ing each horse on alternate days. One
steed was half English and half Don
Cossack, the other was of pure Russian
breed. He rode on an average a little
over fifty miles a day, and covered the
the whole distance in thirty days. The
cost of riding across Europe with a
couple or saddle horses was only ESQ, or
about twenty shillings day. If it can
be done as cheap as this, equestrian
tours will become common.

The Man of Forceps,

Science nowhere has made no more
rapid strides in the past few years than
in dentistry. Results have been at
tanned recently by the more progressive
''tooth carpenters that were not
dreamed of twenty years ago. And
close observation shows that a much
greater number of people wear artificial
teeth than before their man
facture was brought to such per-
lection. The extraction of teeth, too,
has improved in the process. and a
skillful dentist can now relieve a person
of a decayed or aching member without
the least pain. Dr.. Ray, the painless
dentist, No. Washington avenue
south, Minneapolis, who attained fame
by his work in this line, announces in
bold advertisement on the tenth page
of this Issue his ability to do this, and
to make teeth perfect in fit and con-
struction without plates. This kind of
work is known as the "gold CROWN"
and it marks an important era in the
advance of modern dentistry.

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

AID ]. E. Vandewaker was lawyer
when he entered the council, but he mas
not been content to sit down idly, salts
fed with his knowledge of Blackstone.
He has become an electrical expert be-
skies. He told the council on Friday
night that he had become satisfied on
his recent trip to Philadelphia and other
Eastern points that electric street
railways would not work in
the winter time. 1t is hard
to- see how the alderman
could have learned so much of his own
knowledge on brief midsummer inspec-
ton of electric railways, but his knowl
edge is not to be questioned, as he is
lawyer and knows better than to take
hearsay testimony on an important
point. But having learned so much it
is strange that he should come home
and vote to require the street railway
company to go to the expense OF expert
menting with electric lines. Why
didn't he tell Goodrich they wouldn't
work?
Aid. Bradish. who, by agreement be-
tween himself and the sour-visaged in
dividual from the Thirteenth ward,
presided over the great jointed commit
tee on Thursday night, was partisan
even to brutality in his rulings. He
had an ugly job to perform, and, like
surgeon, determined to wade in and
have it over with as soon as possible.
He snapped up the mild-mannered, gen.
tlemanly Cole as wolf would lamb
whenever he dared to speak, and when
Aid. Sterling presumed to ask for an
explanation of clause of the commit
tees report, grOWled out to another
member: at is no use to explain it.
The man (Sterling) will never be able to
understand" Such slovenly language
is not calculated to inspire respect for
Aid. Bradish. 1t should have been prop
erly resented at the time, but Sterling
did not care to get another sting from
the East side statesman'S scorpion
tongue.
1t would seem that if man can ever
earn promotion in public service by
faithful and intelligent discharge of his
duties that t. E. Hughes, deputy post
master of Minneapolis for fifteen years
past. should be made postmaster when
the time arrives. The only argument
against his advancement to the position
he so richly merits is that he is
not politician. This apparently
should not have much weight against
him, bnt this seems to be poor year
for any one but a wire-puller to get to
the front. Nevertheless, here's hoping
that the man who has really run the
business of the postoffice for all these
years may yet have the name, and the
salary, too, for doing it.

The creation of the police commission
by the legislature of 1856 was very
foolish piece of business, and while we
suppose the guardians of the public
were placed under the control of a COM
mission for the express purpose of
making our police fore more eff
cient by wrestling the power
from the mayor, the present in
dications lead many to believe that,
instead of lettering the condition of our
force, the creation of this commission
has let the bars down and given corrupt

WALKER TALKS.
His Views on the Mill-Elevator
Deal,

There were no new developments in
the elevator mill syndicate matter yes
terday, except that the Red River Val
ley and St. Anthony and Dakota
lines of elevators are included in
the Pillsbury mill option, and that
if the mills are bought the elevators go
with them. The people closely inter
ested in the deal continue to do the
oyster act and say that nothing has
really been settled as yet. Several
theories regarding the deal were adj
vanced yesterday, one of which was that
the Van Duzen dealis being put through
by parties who expect to sell the eleva-
tors again to the mill syndicate. and 1t
is. therefore, calculated that If the mill
deal falls through the elevator trade
will never materialiZe.
T. B. Walker, in a long in
terview yesterday, proclaimed an
attempt to buy up all the
elevator. mill and water-poWer
interests-a mighty danger to the bust
ness interests of Minneapolis and Min
nesota. He thinks the business, If
placed in the hands of English stock
holders, will be quite likely to be poorly
managed and to fall away rapidly, while
if it is conducted successfully the profits
Of this immense system will 60 to lot
of British capitalists and will in no way
benefit the city or the state.
