IN SESSION,
The State Grange in Annual Con-
ventiOn in Odd Fellows Hall,

The annual convention Of the Mime
sofa State Grange opened for session
of three days, at No. Il Washington av-
enue north. Odd Fellows hall yesterday
morning. The meeting was presided
over by W. J. Chowan. Of Hennepin;
n. /. Lothian. of South Dakota, was
overseer, and Henry Adams, of Mime
apoliS, acted as secretary. About thir-
ty-five delegates were present, repre-
senting forty-two subordinate oranges.
At the morning session A. w. HOar, of
Montevldeo; G. Il. Wright, of Plainville,
and Mrs. l.. H. ScCfeld, of Blooming
ton, were appointed committee on
order of business: James A. Ball, OF
Edna; James McGreggor, of Anoka,
and Mrs. G. Stanchfield,o of Minneapolis,
were appointed committee on ere
dentials. During the afternoon the
committees made reports on the cOndi-
ton of the order in their various locali-
ties and its growth since the last an
nual meeting. About 200 new.members
have been added to the grange since its
last meeting. 1t is said the grange
stands on nearly the same politi-
caleplatfOrm as the Farmers Alliance
but that 1t is more conservative. The
grange believes the Farmers Alliance
movement will help it by directing the
attention of the legislature to the fact
that the vote of the farmers OF the state
OF Minnesota is, and will be, an impOr-
tant factor for politicians and Legislators
to consider. The recent vote for Owen
for governor demonstrated that farmers
have learned the importance of organi-
ZatiOn.
Worthy Master W. S. Chowen deliv-
cred an address before the convention
late in the evening. This afternoon
Prof. w. w. FoIwell, of the state uni
versity, will discuss the SubtreaSury
scheme before the grange.

A TIREsoME TRIAL.
The Examination of Witnesses il
the LIE Due Case Continues,

The Examination of Witnesses in
the LIE Due Case Continues.
The LIE Due rape case went on its
wealy way yesterday, the state putting
Thomas Z. A. Howe On the stand in the
morning. He is a civil engineer, who
lived near the scene of the disturbance.
He had retired early. but arose and
dressed himself upon hearing the
screams. He had found the man in the
most criminal position. and shouted to
him as he ran, WhereupOn LIE Due had
sprang to his feet and started to run,
himself being in pursuit. The man had
fallen, and was seized upon by another
ofsthe party.
Charles S. Travis testified to his
running after the man and assisting in
his capture. Frank Lewis, real estate
dealer. testified that he was the first to
lay hands on the man after he had
fallen, and he had tried to snatch
cane from his lewis hand, whereupon
scHffle had ensued and Lewis had
struck him with the cane. All of the
witnesses identified him, and swore
positively to the condition of LIE Dues
person at the time, they being obliged
to stop and insist upon his arranging
his dress before they took him to the
patrol box. Mrs. Jane Baughn said that
Mary was in her employ, and had come
home late that night in fearful state
OF excitement, with burrs over her
dress. her hat crushed and clothing
torn.
All the witnesses were subjected to a
rigid and tireSOme crOSS-eXaminatlOn,
which never failed to shake their testi-
mony in any particular. In the after
noon Judge Lochren was obliged to go
to st. Paul on important business, and
the case therefore will be opened this
morning with the testimony of the de-
PENDANT in his own behalf.

LYNN HAS THE BEE.
He Seeks Alliance Support for the
Speakership.

Yesterday afternoon, in the rooms of
the park board, was held a caucus, or
consultation, the subject of which was
the desire of w. II. Lynn to become
speaker of the next house. There were
but three members of the Hennepin
delegation present-W. H. Lynn, c..
Nee. Reeve and w. II. Trip. The 9TH
ers were epresentatives-elect from
various points of the state, most
of them Farmers Alliance men
Several members of the Hennepin dele
cation last night desired it understood
that the delegation, as body, was not
considering Mr.. Lynn's candidacy, and
that the summons which called these
representativeS-elect together for con-
sultati0n emanated. not from the dele
CATION, but from MIR. Lynn'S friends.
just what was decided upon cannot be
learned, but the caucus was significant
as showing that Mr.. Lynn will make a
determined fight for the speakership
He is in tile race to stay, and
he will be a candidate until
speaker shall have been chosen. So
far as the Hennepin delegation is con-
cerned, it has not yet taken any position
as body upon the speakership ques-
ton. A careful canvass of the delega-
ton shows, however, that Matt Walsh,

the speakership, will have the support
of three-fourths, certainly not less than
two-thirds. of the members of the dele
CATION. There the matter stands.
Another informal caucus of Republi-
can aldermen was held last evening.
Fourteen were present, and the meet
ing was very exclusive. Ali the alder
men subscribed to an iron-clad resolu-
ton pledging themselves not to reveal
the transactions of their meeting. AS
at the last meeting, there were still
great differences OF opinion in regard
to the offices of health officer, city en-
gineer and superintendent of the work
house, with the chances in favor of the
retention of the present heads of those
important departments, with the
exception of the workhouse. The other
offices will probably not be touched.
In regard to the place of health commits

REvIsIoNs OF STATUTES.
An Important Attempt to Be Made
in the legislature.

There is a strong movement on foot
toward remedying some of the evils en-
bodied in the statutes of Minnesota.
Judge Lochren especially seems to have
been filled with the idea of the contra
dictions embodied in large number of
the laws as they exist, and some time
ago he wrote several letters to different
members of the next state legislature
appointing meeting to consult with
him. The meeting occurred yesterday
morning in Judge Lochren'S chambers,
and the result was an outline for future
legislative work that will do much to-
ward altering and improving many of
the present laws.
Those who attended the meeting were
approached in regard to the matter, but
declined to go into details as yet. for the
reason that the whole comprehensive
scheme has not been mapped out. 1t
leaked out, however, that the present
lien law would have the especial atten-
ton of the refOrmerS, also some of the
evils in the present criminal code. 1t is
a wejl-known fact that altogether too
much latitude is allowed in the latter
portion of the statutes, and efforts will
be made to so frame the laws that there
will he some chance for securing speedy
conviction of criminals, and finally, at
least just grading of penalties.
1t is understood that future meetings
will be held and laws framed only after
the most careful preparation and SUBJ
uniting of the result TO legal bureau

FOR OPENING LETTERS.
George p. Gould and Nils p. Lii
jengren Again by the Ears.


The old internal feud in the Lilgen-
gren Furniture company has broken out
in a new place. The differences of the
partners in the business have gone into
the federal courts. Monday evening
Deputy United States Marshal Sheehan.
of ST. Paul, arrested George P. Gould,
who was at ole time president of
the Liljengren Furniture company.
The complaint was made by Postoffice
Inspector s. 2. Childs, who set the trap
that caught Gardner, the mail carrier.
The charge was feloniously opening
mail addressed to n. 7. Liljeugren with
the intention of abstracting his cor
reSpondence and prying into his secrets.
The letter on which the charge is based
is dated April 2, 1890, and antedates the
difficulties which terminated in the ap-
pointment of receiver for the COM
pany. Gould gave bonds in the sum of
$500 to appear before Commissioner r.
r. Odell yesterday. He appeared
promptly enough at 2:30, and was held
to the United States grand jury, his
bail being fixed at $500. E. S. Gaylord
ana L. B. Hawkins became his Sureties.
This action is but the precursor of what
will follow. Liljengren'S purpose is to
secure several indictments against his
former partner, not only on the opening
of letters addressed to himself. but OH
the tampering with mail addressed to
Mrs. Liljengren.

EXAMINATION OF KETCHAM.
The Engineer OF the Omaha Train
Will Know Its End To-Day.

Will Know Its End To-Day.
The examination of George Ketcham,
engineer of the Omaha train, charged
with manslaughter in the second de-
gree, occupied the attention of the mu-
nlcipal court nearly all day yesterday.
The defense closed at $50 p. M, and
Judge Emery adjourned the court until
10 O'Clock this morning. The eXamina-
ton yesterday was conducted by Assist
ant County Attorney Briggs on behalf
OF the state, assisted by Coroner Towers.
The defense, it was thought, would
endeavOr to secure the acQuittal of
Ketcham by putting the blame of the
accident upon the shoulders of Engineer
Foody, of the Great Northern train.
When, after the examination of a num-
Der Of other witnesses, whose testimony
did not materially change the aspect OF
the case as it existed at the close of the
coroner's inquest, Foody was called to
the stand to testify, he admitted, after
a severe crosS-eXamInation ana much
questioning by Judge Emery, that he
had first seen the Omaha train some 400
feet from the station. He was asked
his rate OF speed when approaching
University station. and replied fifteen
miles an hour. The rule as to the run
ming of trains over the Milwaukee
crossings at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour was referred to- The defense tried
to prove that it applied only to freight
trains. Foody was asked his con-
Struction of the rule in regard to the
passing of freight trains, and answered
that when one train stops at station
every other train coming from the
other direction must be stopped.
Frank Stehlick, the brakeman of the
Great Northern train, was called, as
well as Miss Mabel Ulmer. the station
agent, who explained the location of the
tracks and how trains are reached by
passengers. Judge Emery clearly
brought out by questioning Miss Ulmer
the carelessness of the railroad company
in providing SO dangerous an approach.
Minneapolis Union Railway company,
was asked to read and interpret the
rules governing the passage of trains by
each other when one train is receiving
or dlScharglng passengers. w. +.
Smith, w. j. johnson and Conductor
Blaser were also examined. The de-
tense called a number of expert and
practical engineers to testify as to the
reputation OF Ketcham and his ability
as an engineer. All of them had known
the defendant for ten years or more, and
all gave him good character. This
morning the prosecution will try and
prove that the allegation of the defense
that the Great Northern train had not
stopped at the time of the accident is
not true. The case will then be left to
the judge.

ALEX. M'CALLUM'S WOES.
Lively Ladies' ofLeisurc Get Away
With His Money.

Wine, women and song have been
making life miserable for Alex. Mccall
lum, Ncrth Minneapolis contractor,
for two days now. The wine was a
mixture of low grade "red eye," the
women were frail females from Hattie
Brush's maison de joie Oh First street
south, and the song was tale of woe.
A hack driver named Jack Allen was
also sin it, with the women, whose
names are given as Pearl Wood and
Sadie Burnett.
If appearances may be believed, Nc
Callum was trying hard to have good
time Monday, and early in the evening
landed at the aforementioned maiSon de
jOie. From there about s o'clock he and
drove to st. Paul. Thence they pro-
ceeded to what Is known as the Half
Way house," near Fort Smelling, where
the trio had plenty to eat and drink.
Here, McCallum says, the theft OF
his money was committed. He had
nearly $500 on his person on starting
from Minneapolis. OF this amount 5000
was in the form of two SiO0 bills and
the remainder in small bills and silver.
At st. Paul the hack driver was sent
out to get one of the 500 bills changed.
Ihe Halfway house was reached about
3 O'Clock in the morning. Here Mccall
lum fell asleep, and when he awOke
several hours later his money was gone
and the gay girls had taken wings. He
made his way to Minneapolis, told his
story to the police and the girls and
the hack driver were arrested. One of
the women gave up 500, another S45
and the ''cabby" S33. AS soon as Mccall
llIm had his money in his nOcl<a his heart
softened and he disappeared. When
the three culprits were arraigned there
was no one to appear against them and
they were discharged. But the police
department. was not to be toyed with
that way, so McCullum was found, after
being searched for all day, new war
rant was issued and the merry maids
and ''cabby' were re-arreSted. They
will receive hearing this morning, Nc

The body of F. M. Carlson, the aged
suicide who shot himself to death in a
vacant lot on the South side Monday
evening. yet remains in the morgue of
Gleason & Byorum, On Cedar avenue.
Coroner Towers did not think an in
quest necessary. the facts in the case
plainly indicating self-murder. He is
to obtain some knowledge of the dead
mans family before having his remains
inferred. The old man is said to have
lived alone in room at the corner of
Fourteenth avenue south and Washing
ton avenue. No reason for his suicide
has as yet been discovered.
