THE COMPLETED STRUCTURE.
The New Reform School Will Be
an Ornament to the State.

Substantially and beauty are two
prominent characteristics of the main
building of the new reform school now
in the course of construction at Red
Wing, and of which an excellent cut
appears in this issue of the GLOBE.
This magnificent structure is to be built
of Red Wing stone and trimmed with
the lighter colored limestone OF Man
kato. 1t will be three stories high and
fifty by one hundred and fifty feet in
size A splendid basement will be
feature of the building. The central
portion of the building will be given up
to the superintendent for offices and
living rooms, and the two wings
will be devoted each to q family
of fifty boys. Each of these
wings will contain living rooms.
school rooms and dormitories. In the
rear there will be dining room, 50X100
feet in size, and capable of seating no
less than 600 inmates. Cottages, for
three of which the foundations are
now in, will be built at short distance
from the main building to accommodate
fifty boys each. They will be con-
structed of pressed brick with lime
stone trimmings. One thousand feet

the girls cottage. II will afford accom-
modations for seventy-five girls, and
will contain, besides living rooms, work
rooms and school for cooking. 1t will
be completed in accordance with the
latest ideas concerning the treatment of
girls who drift into such schools. The
idea carried out in every one of these
buildings is that of placing every in
mate under the personal supervision of
some one. The buildings which will
follow the erection of those already
planned will be cottages to
the number of twelve, built as
those described above. There will also
be a chapel, workshops of various kinds
and farm buildings. These buildings
are being placed on large tract of
land two miles below the city of Red
Wing The tract is level one, up
wards of 100 feet above the river, and
protected by a bluff in the rear. No
more desirable site could be desired or
secured. and when the property of the
old reform school in st. Paul has been
disposed of there will be an abundance
of funds to carry On the WORK at Red

SPECTER OF SOCIALISM.

Salisbury Says Too Much Impor-
tance is Attached to 1t.
LONDON, May 2O--In the house Of
lords, to-day, the Earl of WemySs and
March. Liberal Conservative, denounced
the tendency of the government towards
socialist legislation. Parliament, he de-
clared, seemed ready to do anything in the
shape of grandmotherly legislation and
to meddle with affairs that ought to be
left to private initiative, like working
mems houses, the payment OF wages
and the feeding and education of the
poor. The London county council, he
said, was especially inclined to pre-
datory objects. and fostered projects to
abolish leaseholds and deprive land
lords of their ground rents. They even
proposed to take by cOmpulSl0n without
compensation property belonging to
city guilds in order to apply it to what
they called industrial schemes. Seri-
ious legislative bodies ought to look
where socialism was leading. 1t was
not land alone, but every kind of prop
erty that was threatened, Freedom of
contract and freedom OF private enter
prise was assailed. State help was sub
stitnted for self help, thus destroying
the fiber of the nation. Lord Sails
bury, the prime minister, admitted the
existence of strong tendency to lean
upon the state on every occasion.
Against this he said statesmen must
guard. IL they imposed upon the state
burdens beyond its power to bear, they
would create an indefinite source of eX-
pense, and would ultimately produce
unlimited corruption. Socialism might
be defined as the state doing something
that might be done by private persons
for the sake of gain. Sometimes this
was very unwise thing to
do and at other times wise thing.
There was nothing so SocialiStic as the
mint and postoffice, yet at the same
time there was nothing more justiiiable.
1t was not practical politics to classify
legislative proposals as socialistic OF
otherwise. Every subject ought to be
treated on its own merits. Too much
Importance. Lord Salisbury declared.
was attached to the specter Of socialism.
The public could be trusted to find out
what practical good lies behind the So
cialistic doctrine. Nobody not abso-
lutely blind could deny the existence of
great evils from which arose the social
istic proposals and action. Industrial
and other causes produced great centers
of misery. We are bound to do all we
can to remedy these evils, even if we
get called socialists, knowing we are
undertaking no new principle OF strik-
ing out on no new route, but are simply
pursuing the long and healthy trading of
English legislation. Lord Salisbury'S
remarks were received with cheers.

POISONED HIMS elf,
But Didn't Succeed in Killing His
Wife.


Wife.
PH1LADELPHIA. May 20. - Ludwig
Marquardt, an artist, attempted to muir
der his wife, Frederika, this evening by
shooting several times, and died shortly
afterwards from the effects of poison he
had evidently taken before attempting
his Wife's life Mrs. Marquardt is en-
ployed in the fur department OF
John Wanamaker's store, and upon
quitting work and going to her attic
room at No. 336 Crown street, where
she boarded, at about $50 o'clock, she
found there her husband, with whom
she had not been living for the past
five. weeks. She says that when she
entered the room be pulled revolver
from his pocket and pointed it at her.
She begged him not to shoot and
promised to live with him again. Not
needing her entreaties, Marquardt
got between his wife and the door,
SO as to prevent her from escaping, and
began firing at her. He emptied the
revolver, and several of the shots took
effect in the Woman's face and left arm.
Three policemen, attracted by the
screams of the landlady Of the house,
hurried to the room and found the
woman lying OH lllG uOOI' Nluu DIOou
streaming from her face and the hus-
band standing over her with the
revolver in his hand. They placed
MarQuardt under arrest, but he
had evidently taken poison before his
wife reached her room, as he died IN
agony a few minutes after being taken
into custody. Il search was made for
the drug, but no traces OF 1T could be
found. In the meantime, Mrs. Mar
unardt had been taken TO the police sta
ton, a few blocks away, in the patrol
wagon. Here she won the admiration
of the officers and doctors by the forti-
tude with which she stood the
terrible pain of her wounds. 1t
was found that she was wounded III the
left wrist and arm and both sides OF the
face. The wounds IN the face may have
been caused by one bullet, as both
cheeks are pierced. AT the Pennsyl-
vania hospital, where she was taken
late tonight, the physicians say that
her wounds are very serious, but not
necessarily fatal. Marquardt was an
artist employed by Market street firm
and was twenty-eight years old. The
wife is thirteen years older. They
were married in Germany seven years
ago, and had been in this country two
years. Since coming here they have
separated five times, the husband each
time leaving the wife. NeighborS say
they quarreled frequently, and Mar
quardt was extremely jealous of his
wife The body of the suicide still lies
on the floor of the wife's little attic
room. The coroner will make an in

LISBON, n. D., May 2O.-About G
o'clock tonight, Mrs. Stevens, wife Of
Hon. R. N. Stevens. of the last legis-
lature, was fatally shot. In the after
noon MI and Mrs. Stevens went for a
drive in the country and took a shot
gun. By mistake they took the wrong
sized shot, and when they returned
laughingly told some friends Of their
error as they drove through town.
Arriving home. they got the proper
shells and returned to the river, few
rods i'll the rear of the house, where
there are generally a few ducks on the
water. A moment or two after Mr.
Stevens was heard wildly calling for
help. Some men rushed up and found
Mrs. Stevens lying on the bank of the
river, dead, having been shot through
the head. The charge entered at the
base of the brain just behind the right
ear. MI Stevens is crazy with grief,
and full particulars cannot be obtained.

CHICAGO, May 20.-Wild with rage
and insane with drink, Barney Benson
committed most brutal murder shortly
before 5 o'clock this morning. Jerry
Sweeney was the victim. The murder
was the result of a quarrel which oc-
cured in a saloon Sunday night. Ben
son is foreman of the National Boiler
works barn. Some time ago he dis
charged Sweeney. who worked under
him. Sunday night they met in
saloon, and both being under the in
tluence of liquor, soon got into fight
in which Benson was badly beaten.
Both men continued to drink all day
yesterday, and last night they met in
another saloon, and but for the interfer
ence of friends would have had another
fight. Between l and 2 o'clock this
morning, Benson was on his way home
when he met Sweeney. Benson, draw
ing revolver, called him coward and
began to shoot at him. He had shot
three times, when Sweeney attempted
to take the revolver from his antagonist

PARNELL WANTS VOTES,

Brushing I'm

LONDON, May 20.-Nir. Parnell made
a speech to-day, Which was mainly de-
voted to showing the urgent necessity
of placing every possible Irishman in
Great Britain upon the voting register.
He said that general election
might come at any moment. 1t was i'm
possible to believe that the Tory mana
gers would be so infatuated as to post
pone an appeal to the country beyond
the end of 1891. 1t appeared to him to
be crime for any Irshman entitled
to the privilege to neglect securing the
vote. 1t was proposed to form central
organization for the purpose of
assisting such men. He regret
ted that while Irishmen in Ire
land. America and Australia had acted
nobly in providing funds for the cause,
1rishmen in Great Britain had failed to
recognize their duty in the direction.
He trusted they would now make up for
lost time. Resolutions were passed to
form an election fund, to be dlsposable
at Mr.. ParnelFs direction and to form
an organization to secure proper regis

A great majority of these rare speci-

was red poll warbler, one of the rarest

delegate was present from the Char

damaging to the Rev. Mr.. Whitman was

which were unanimously against Mr..

expulsion of Mr.. Whitman, finding that
he was guilty Of the charges on good
evidence that could not be viewed on
the hypothesis of his innocence, and
recommending that its finding be sub
mitted to the Aurora association to de-
termine Mr.. Whitman's ecclesiastical
standing. 1t is great victory for the

Liquor From Carriages.

TOPEKA, May 2o.-The dealers in
original packages are becoming more
and more bold and defiant. To-day six
of them hired three carriages. In the
rear seat of each two of the saloon men
placed themselves. On the opposite
seat they placed kegs of beer and
grouped around them original packages
of whisky, brandy and wine. On the
seat beside the driver was placed keg
of beer, and on top of it a foam
ing glass of the beverage. Thus
equipped they drove through the prin
cipal streets of the city. and finally
halted at the entrance Of the capitol
grounds and under the very shadow of
the state house. There they offered for
saleto the state officers passing in and
out their original packages. Secretary
of State Allen became so enJaged that
he telephoned to the chief of police to
arrest the saloon men for disturbing the
peace. At the approach of the blue
coats the saloon men drove away.
