How swinton Helped Reid.
From the Ne,p York Star.

John Swinton was one of the editorial
writer's of the San some years ago, when
Whitelaw Reid, one of his dearest friends, mar
ried Miss Mills. At that time, and for a long
time previous, the Sun had been abusing Mr.
Reid, then editor of the Tribune and everybody
attributed the venomous personal articles
against Mr.. Reid to Charles A. Dana. The day
after the wedding of Mr.. Reid and Miss Mills
there appeared a curious editorial on the sub
ject in the Sun. All through the article SEN
fences laudatory of Mr.. Reid would be followed
by sarcastic sentences of half-concealed bitter
ness; but, on the whole, the column or SO of
matter was complimentary to the Man

had been ridiculing for years met John
Swinton in the corridor of the postoffice the
same day the article was published. and the
first thing he said to me was, did you read that
article in the Sun on Reid this morningY'' /
answered that had. ''What did you think of
it?' he asked. ''I thought as l read it," was
my reply, that friendly hand had written the
original and somebody had injected aquafortis
in the proof" Swinton said Il never thought
you had sense enough to SO tTuthfully discrim-
mate" knew instinctively that the friendly
hand was Swinton's. l am not sure the dis.
tributor of the aquafortis was Mr.. Dana, but I
do know that that article led up eventually
through Swinton's kindly offices, to Dana's be-
coming an encomiast of Reid at Lotus Club
dinner and to Reid, as the United States min
lister to France. becoming the host of Dana at
his house in Paris.

CLARA IN SUSPENSE.
The Twelve Men Who Hold
Her Life in Their Keep
ing
Display a Great Uncertainty
as to What to Do
With It.
The Court Once More Lays
Down the Law to
Them,
And They Retire for the Night
With No Verdict in
Sight.

Without bed or benches, the jury in
the Clara Blatz case wrangted over the
fate of the prisoner Tuesday night and
all yesterday. Yesterday morning. as
Judge Kelly opened the special term,
he was informed by the sheriff that the
jury desired to be heard by the court.
The court granted the audience and
the jury struggled into their box,
tired and weary-looking lot of men.
When asked by Clerk Armstrong if
they had agreed upon verdict, Fore
man Shaw replied that they had not,
but were in for information and re-
reading of the charge. Judge Kelly
stopped to consider the matter mo-
ment, when Mr.. Wilgus eXcitedly bObbed
up and informed the court that he had
two questions to ask which, if answered,
would obviate the reading of the charge.
These were submitted in writing and
the attorneys consulted. Upon cOun-
sels objection as to the questions the
court refused to read the charge OF an
swer the questions submitted. The jury
was Instructed to again retire, and ii
need be submit other questions at 2
o'clock. To one who studied the phySi-
ognomy of each Juror, there was an ap-
pearance of determination about each.
They had fought and argued all night,
some few sleeping upon the hard floor,
and all were much the worse
for wear. From what could be
seen of the Individual actions
of each juror toward his fellows, it was
evident that nine of the jurors were
pressing for conviction of murder in
conspieuously nervous jurors who
seemed to be banished from the major
ity were, it was understood, in favor of
absolute acQuittal. These three gentle
men are well known in the city, and all
the speculation, which is fast becoming
rife, eenters upon their probable hang
ing of the jury.

A KNOCK-DOWN HINT.

A st. Paul barber reads the papers
and learned Of the expedient resorted
to by an Eastern shaver, in gently
throwing ont hint that credit was
bad thing in The barber line. Over his
mirror he hung a sign reading thus:
What do you think
shave you for nothing
And give you drink.
A customer who Twill pay you next
time" occupied the chair. and after
shave three weeks under the skin,
started out without paying.
''You forgot something" said the
barber.
ooh yes, so l did. Give me a cock
tail.'
The barber smiled and the customer
pointed to the sign. The barber still
smiled and blandly read the sign this
way:
What. do you think
shave you for nothing
And give you drink?
He got his Is cents and lost not over

CURB INTERVIEWS.

President Cyrus Northrop (of the
State University)-I am very glad the
GLOBE won the Hertogs libel suit; very
glad. 1t is the duty of a good news
paper to expose vice.
Gen. Brandt-EXcellent work is being
done by the national guard of this state,
especially in the direction of discipline.
AS rule the national guard organiza-
tons are not very strict in the matter OF
discipline. and it is gratifying to notice
that the Third regiment made an ex-
cellent showing during last weeks en-
campment. Col. Wright was quite
right in enforcing strict discipline, be-
cause it is essential for the success of
any military organization.
B. S. Cowen-A large amount of the
city's water supply comes from Lake
Phalen. A newsboy was drowned
Sunday while swimming in Lake
Phalen. A visitor to that locality on
Sunday counted fifty men and boys
swimming in the lake. These are in
teresting facts when considered to-
gether. A water supply from bathing
pool! Drinking water in which swim
mers disport themselves! Is there any
one responsible for this state of affairs?
Or is it one of those nuisances the pub
lie must endure silently? 1t certainly
seems that it is a nuisance that should
be abated. and that right speedily. A
city of over 100000 people can surely
spare swimming pool easier than

A SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE.
The Body Of Taylor Combs to Be Ex-
humed and Examined.
THE OFFICIALS ARE HERE
And the Disinterment and Autopsy
Will Be Held This Morn
ing.

W. Logan Breckenridge, the. Ohm
stead county attorney, came down from
Rochester Tuesday night, and was in
consultation yesterday with Attorney
General Clapp. DR.. j. E. Bowers,
superintendent of the Rochester insane
asylum, also arrived in st. Paul last
night, accompanied by Dr.. Homer Col
Inns, DR.. W. w. Mayo and DR.. W. j.
Mayo. All Of the parties mentioned
have been prominently connected
with the insane asylum inves-
tigation, and their gathering in
the city is said to mean
nothing less than the examination of
the body of Taylor Combs, the eolored
man whose mysterious death brought
out the asylum scandal. After the post
mOrtem examination conducted by Cor
oner Moss, of Olmsted county, the body
was brought to this city at the request
Of Combs relatives, and Inferred in
st. Paul cemetery. Coroner Moss has
since been severely criticised for the
Quoted, and it is now said that the
evidence brought ont is not sufficient
for the purposes of criminal action
against Beckman and Peterson, the at
tendants charged with the murder. Inc
body will probably be taken up early
this morning and more thorough eX-
animation made of the bruises which
resulted in Combs death. Attorney
General Clapp stated last night that
the second autopsy had not been
fully decided upon, but conveyed
the information that it would in all
probability be held, and o-day. 1t was
also stated that the special commission
appointed to investigate the asylum
scandal is in no way connected with the
matter. but that the investigation is
made by the county attorney to bring
out additional evidence against the men

INFORMATION WANTED.
The Court Helps Out the Think
ers of the Jury.

At 2 o'clock the jury filed into the
court to receive further instructions on
the courts answer to several written
questions which it had prepared during
the morning. AS the jury entered the
box. Lafayette Shaw, the foreman,
stated that most of the members OF the
jury desired to hear the charge again;
others, however, asked the court to i'll
form them upon the written questions
which they would submit. The court
refused to read the charge; but, upon
reflection, consented to answer the
questions. After the judge had
read the questions they were sub
court proceeded to enlighten
the dense-minded jurors. Attorney
Warner objected to this, but the court
took no notice of his remarks but eX-
pounded to the jury. They first wanted
to know what the grades of crime were
upon which. under the evidence, the
defendant might be convicted. The
Judge informed them, as he did in his
charge, and stated that the defendant
could only be convicted of murder in
the first or second degrees, or man
slaughter in the first degree, according
to the definition given them in the
charge of facts and conditions which
constitute those several degrees of
crime. The jury further inquired
whether the failure on the part of the
prisoner to discern the gravity of
her act made her excusable
under the plea Of insanity.
They also wanted to know whether
the proof of insanity must be estab-
lished by the defense beyond all reason
able doubt. The court told them that
the burden of the proof was upon the
defense, as the law presumes everybody
charged with crime to be sane. A fair
preponderence of evidence which would
satisfy the jury that the defendant was
insane when the crime was committed
was what the law expected of the de-
Tense. Some of the jurors wanted to know
whether, under their oaths to well and
truly try. consider and render their
verdict, they were responsible for the
consequences upon their verdict.
whether it be just or unjust. The court
told them that they had no concern
about tn consequences of their verdict.
He admoniShed them to carefully come
to conclusion, and once formed,
FEARLESSLY DECLARE THE SAME
the state and the law assuming all re-
sponsibility. Each juror is obliged by
his oath to accept Instructions upon law
from the court without comment or
prejudice, and upon that. coupled with
the findings Of fact, OF which they are
the sole judges, they are expected to
bring in their verdict, and they are to
rely upon their own judgment as to the
facts OF the case. In the last analysis
each juror is the keeper of his own
judgment.
Attorney Warner loudly objected, but
the court replied by telling him that it
could and would not hear him before
the jury. The jury was then escorted
back to its room, where they are still
boiling three parts logic with one part
of prejudice.

OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE.

A great many thinking persons have
been making some very critical remarks
about the half-past 10 p. m. color with
which DR.. Day and the court house
commission anointed the court house
steampipe fence. A careful inveStlga-
ton of the fence, made by the secretary
of the commission, Mr.. Kahn, reveals the
fact that the color is not half so bad as
that which it covers. The paint is
really valuable stuff compared
to the pipes. and is more than
ordinary black paint. 1t is rather
compound result obtained by the boiling
of some old rubber coats which Mr..
Hendrickson and DIR. Day wore during
the flood. DR.. Day swore he was not III
favor of the fence. which now casts the
insnuation that the public, especially
the dogs. are requested to use the side
walk, and it alone.
-
Said Auditor Kahn yesterday as he ac-
cidentally stepped into his water cooler,
which was standing on the floor: You
see, that abortion of fence is worse
than nothing. Now, you take a dog
coming down WabaSha street just ahead
of the telephone, and I'm inclined
to think the dog would scoot
right between the cool steam pipes,
into the flower beds and into the office
of the board of park commissioners,
which, you know. is located in the base
ment of this building. Such conduct
on the part of the dogs by way OF the
fence, while 1t would not be malicious,
would yet be seriously damaging to the
flowers, or rhubalb plants.
"Oh, amistake-Imean the fenceiS,
but see how DR.. Day argues. He says
we will SOW hair-pin and cactus bushes,
and some black eurrant trees on each
plat. Then take your dog out On Wa
basha hill and show him photograph OF
Aid. Book. If it doesn't give him the
pleurlsy, that dog will come down
Wabasha street faster than wash bills,
and with the alacrity of his kind, jump
clean over that same fence and land
squarely on the hairpin and cactus
bush, get an electric shock, Whit OF
the black currants elixir of life. and
then go to Lieut.. Murphy, of the police
force, and give himself up He actually
believes that dog. or any other animal
likely to intrude, if treated in that way,
would exhibit more sense and under
standing than jury"

THE SEASON AT HAND.
Hotel Lafayette Will Open It
Hospitable Doors Next Saturday


Society of the Twin Cities is OF the
qui viye over the opening of Hotel La
fayette, and the, consequent Inaugural
ton of the lake season, next Saturday.
The occasion will be celebrated with
becoming eclat, and every care is being
exercised to ensure the successful carry
ing out of the arrangements made. 1t
is already conceded, and all indications
warrant the belief, that the season of
1889 will be the most brilliant in the
history of the house. The gueStage
from distance will be large, and the
names of many Of last years favoriteS
will be found on the books this season.
1t is certain that the patronage from
st. Paul and Minneapolis will be larger
than ever before, while the active
demand for cottages at all van
tage points on the lake insures a
rural population" of exceptionally
healthy proportions, that must tend to
make the hops and other gatherings at
Lafayette even more charming than in
the past, if such thing were possible.
Prof. Thiels famous Milwaukee Orches-
ira Numbering twenty pieces has been
engaged for the season, and afternoon
and evening concerts by this great band
of artists will be one OF the features of
the house.
In addition to this interesting pro-
gramme, special concerts, sports of all
kinds, etc, will be provided for the en-
tertainment of patrons. while the gen
eral excellence of the house in point of
comfort and service, which has given it
a national reputation. will be fully
maintained under the efficient manage
ment of Eugene r. Mehl.
