MINNESOTA PENNANT.

NettIeton Wins a Pretty and Ex-
citing Race.
The old custom of the Minnesota Boat
club, that of all annual competition
among the members, for the club pen
nant, took place last evening, the event
being that for the De Forest medal for
the season of 80. The inclemency of
the weather, probably, did much to con-
filming the race for scullers of any class
who are members of the club to George
o. NettletOn, the hero of the past sea-
son; B. Haywood Wright and
A. II. Paget. The start was
prompt In good water at about
5:45. The Wabasha street bridge on
the West side was thronged with club
members, many of whom were accom-
panied by ladies. The executives of
from where observation and time were
taken. Mr.. Nettleton held the coast
line position, Mr.. Wright the body
water and Mr.. Paget skirting the outer
course. From clear signal Mr.. Net
Teton caught the water with an eager
ness and audacity such as he has sell
dom shown during his regatta cam
paign this season. Mr.. Wright sug-
gested beautiful form, and his race with
MIR. Nettleton was sanguine and cour-
ageOus, while the tenacious Mr..
Paget pushed his shell with that
vigor and pluck which marked
his victorious effort at Duluth. Mr..
Nettleton startled his habituaI observers
when he left the starting buoy with a
plunge stroke of AZ, while Mr. Wright,
apparently confident of his time status,
swung away at a telling stroke no faster
than SO, Mr.. Paget pulling hard by with
the same stroke. The mile was reached
in 7:59, with Nettleton leading Wright
about two lengths. Paget four lengths
after Wright. The turn marked the be-
ginning of beautiful race between
Nettleton and Wright. 1t was close tip
upon stern the entire stretch, and for a
alfminute the admiring company on the
bridge faltered in presuming upon Mr..
Nettleton, as the acknowledged victor.
Wright rowed nobly, hard, and with a
speed and form that might have over
come Nettleton, had there not been
such disadvantage to Mr.. Wright in the
ruggednesS ofthis course-which at best
was length longer than the line piled
upon by his opponent. The race was
finished In IA miD., s sec., Mr.. Wright's
bow touching Nettleton's boat, and Mr.
Paget on his way home.
An impromptu race between Charles
Gordon and another junior resulted in
pretty victory for the former.
If Mr.. Wright conserves to good
health and strength until next season,
it is fair to predict for him a glorious
campaign among the juniors of the
country, Nett!eton is now senior and
good one, and his seasons work placed
him on the list of those most formidable
and promising among seniors. If Wright
can row as fast, and it appears that he
can try gallantly, at least, then the Min
nesotas can count on another honorable
prOtege.

TICKLE AND CRUEL.
Wife DeSertion Seems to Have
Become Epidemic in
the City.
Two More Husbands Leave
for Quarters New and
Green.
Their Wives and Children
Left Without Money
or Bread.
The Relief Secretary to Be
Called Upon for Some
Assistance.

Wife desertion seems likely to be-
come epidemic in this part of the world,
judging from, the number of cases that
bave occurred within the past few
weeks. A report was last evening made
to Lieut.. Rouleau, in charge of the
Ducas street police station, that Richard
Hinton, cooper residing at pol Indiana
avenue west, had left the city without
making provision for the support of his
wife and children, and that the latter
were in destitute condition. The re-
port stated that Ole Rainerson, also
a cooper and friend of Hinton. had de-
serted his wife and baby at 200 Fair
field avenue west, and that they were
unable to obtain the necessaries of life.
Sergeant Hanft was detailed to investi-
gate the matter, and, in company with
a GLOBE representative, proceeded to
the residence of the Hinton'S. Mrs.
Hinton was found at home, and Mrs.
Kainerson was also there. Mrs. Kahn
erSOn stated that her husband had often
expressed wish to move 10 GlenwOod,
Wis, where he said living was cheaper
and w DIRK more certain. Last Saturday
night he came home from his
work and said that he had
decided to go to GIenwood. The wife
tried to prevail on him to remain, but
he told her he was determined to go.
She then asked him to leave her some
money to meet current expenses, but he
refused, saving that he couldn't spare
any. Hinton decamped with Rainerson,
though he led his wife to believe that he
was only going as far as the depot, and
would be right back. Instead of doing
as he had promised, Hinton went away
Oh the same train as that taken by
Rainerson. and it is learned
that instead of going to Glen
wood. they went to Sioux City
over the Omaha. There the trace IS
lost, and it is not known whether they
went further West or whether they re-
manned in Sioux City. The wives of
both are left without resources, save
what little money they can make by
sewing. Rainersen is twenty-five years
old and Ninton twenty-four. Both have
been in the employ of the St. Paul Bar
rel company for several months, and are
regarded as steady workmen. Mrs.
Rainerson says that she cannot believe
her husband has deserted her, and that
she hopes to hear from him. Mrs. Hin
ton is equally averSe to believing her
husband capable of such an act. Both
women say that their homes have been
free from domestic trouble, and that
they cannot account for the strange be-
havior of their husbands. Relief Agent
Hutchins will be notified of the cases
this morning, as the deserted twain say
they do not know how they will live
unless aid is forthcoming from some
quarter. The children Of both families
are small, which almost precludes the
possibility of working out for the
mothers.

AN UNBEATABLE YOKE.
Mrs. Schultz Has Had Her Fill O.
MatpimOnV.

Mrs. Schultz Has Had Her Fill of
Matrimony.
Elizabeth Schultz is DESTROYS of a di-
vorce from Carl Schultz, and, in ac-
cordance with this desire, she yester-
day caused papers to be filed in the dis
trict court praying for dissolution of
those bonds which have become un-
bearable. According to her side of the
story, the couple were married in Ger
many in 1880. The husband appears to
have acted most inhumanIy, for the
wife says he refused to support her and
their child. When child was born he
also refused to procure a physician or
nurse. and during her sickness she was
supported by public and private char
ity. He drove away persons who
brought food and offered assistance
when their child died. Mrs. Schultz
went out to work for a living, leaving a
child in charge of her mother. The
husband threatened to kill his mother
in-law, and heated an iron, threatening
to run it through her. He threw the
food provided by the wife into the
river. Plaintiff is twenty-eight years
old and her husband is forty.

A SHEEP SHIPPER.


A tall, broad-shouldered stockman,
wearing the traditional brOad-brimmed
lombrero, was introduced by Lew Max
field yesterday as John Fleming, the
champion sheep shipper of the North
vest. Mr.. Fleming has just rounded
mp the movement of sheep from Mon
Jana and Dakota to the. East, and said:
1.-TWO hundred thousand head of sheep
will go east from Montana and Dakota
this season. That's 10000 more than
last year. OF these, $4,000 head
20 to the great sheep handlers,
Abner. Pratt & Co., Chicago, who
report that the muttons and feeders are
reaching them in good condition and
Ire really selling better on the markets
This season than any other class of live
stock" Mr. Fleming looks for much
larger movement of cattle from Montana
This year than in 1889, although several
large concerns such as Ryan Brothers
and several leading members of the
Montana Stock Growers association have
about concluded to hold over another
season.

i, FIRM IN DIFFICULTIES.
Secondhand Furniture Dealers
( Hord

Secondhand Furniture Dealers
Hard Up.
Storing and dealing in secondhand
furniture on a business basis has not
proven as profitable in st. Paul for the
past few years as some people supposed.
Sansome Brothers have found it arather
Spdlill business. The German-Amer-
lean bank among others has been
helping this firm along for
three or four years by advanc-
ng' sums OF money, and the firm has
done an apparently good business. The
bank now holds its paper and has taken
judgments against IL to the amount of
S2,0S0. On Sept. Is the firm gave
chattel mortgage to E. R. Mackey for
5000 on Office fixtures, an express
wagon, spring wagon, one horse
and two sets of harness. 1t is
said that one member of the
firm has sold off some of their
property, and has got the money for it.
A member of the Sanborn law firm said
yesterday that the Sansomes are honor
able men, and are willing to turn the
money received for property sold over
to the German-American bank on ac-
count of the money due it. but that if
their business is wound up the assets
will only amount to small percentage
of their liabilities

BEHIND THE BARS.
Assailants of Supt. Hunt Already
in Limbo.

Assailants of Supt. Hunt Already
in Limbo.
1t has been established beyond all
doubt that the men arrested on Monday
night and charged with disorderly con-
duct are the twain who held up Assist
ant Superintendent Hunt, of the gas
company, on that evening. Their names
are Pat KavaHagh and George Sullivan,
At the station Kavanagh claimed to have
been robbed of S. by man he had
trained with during Intervening. The
facts of the case are thatthe men quar-
relied about diyisiori7 of the prop
erty acquired by them in the
Hunt episode. A fight enSued,
in which Kavanagh, alias any
number of other names, got the worst OF
the deal. He had been Swallowed prior
to his pugiiistic adventure, and the po-
lice made no doubt that he was one of
the men they wanted. Mr.. Hunt was
sent for, but, owing to the darkness
which had prevailed about the scene of
the robbery, he could not positively
identify the men. Both got sent to the
workhouse, Kavanagh for sixty days
and Sullivan for thirty. They were
brought into court yesterday morning,
and Supt. Hunt was present to take an
other look at them. He stated that, al
though morally certain that Kavanagh
was the man who had the revolver; the
night was so dark that he could not
swear to him. On the same night as
that marked by the robbery of Hunt, the
man Kavanagh made an attempt to hold
up John G. Ryan, Waterman for the
gas company. Ryan gave him couple
of sharp blows on the head with asconp-
ling pin and the fellow ran. Chief Clark
says that he is now satisfied that Sulli-
van and Kayanagh are the men wanted.
After the failure to identify them they
were taken back to the farm to serve
out their time. Kavanagh is an old
crook and has been in many times be-
fore.

"Wow." said Clerk Ahern under his
silken mustache as the bulky bust of
that irrepresSible amazon, Pearl Will

Pearl is scarcely the name for lady of
the Wilson's complexion. She is as
black as the shades of hades, and her
relatives are among the proudest of the
old families residing on the banks of
the Congo river. Pearl was up for shoot
ing at a gentleman friend of hers named
Wethersby-Jeff Wethersby. He is a
sad man. 1t is not the fault of the lady
whose company he affects that his hide
isn't as full of holes as seive. She
has turned her trusty 32-caliber loose on
him more than once. Mr.. Wethersby
lodged another bullet and is still alive.
Pearl had pocket full of cartridges
when arrested by Officer Gerber, and
was still looking for the man. Judge

Dan Dumforth, an old time crook, was
found last night by Officer Casserly with
about half dozen pairs of trousers in
his possession. Dumforth will have an
opportunity to explain where he got the
pants this morning.
William Duren, a special police officer,
got into trouble with the Rice

Brennan called on Duren for assistance

CERTIFY THE MIDWIFE.
A Worthy Agitation on the Part OF
Licensed MedicOs

A Worthy Agitation on the Part of
Licensed Medicos.
There is movement among the regu-
larly qualified physicians of ST. Paul to
secure the passage of law by the COM
ing legislature by the terms of which it
shall be made compulsory for women
practicing midwifery to obtain certifi-
cate of fitness and ability from the state
board of health. The necessity for such
a movement has been of long standing,
as there are numerous persons
practicing midwifery in the city
who have no knowledge what
ever of even the elementary princi-
Piles of anatomy. The result is
often disaster in childbirth, and many
women reside in the city to-day whose
health has been wrecked by the bun
Cling of ignorant midwives. A perusal
of the birth certificates made out by
some of these worthless and handed in
to the health department is sufficient &c
show that a remedy should be found for
the existing state of affairs, and without
necessary delay. Many of them-almost
half, in fact-are written in characters
as unintelligible to the eye as sanskrit.
1t is matter of doubt whether the
women who wrote them could read
them. or whether they ever intended
that they should be read. The fact that
these accomplished ladies usually spell
proper names without capitalization,
and spell boy b-o-i. wouldn't count for
much if the writing was legible,
but it isn't. The men in the
Office admit that they have to
guess at many of the names. Now,
here is pretty state of affairs. The
city is employing staff of men to keep.
in connection with other duties, a rec
ord of the births occurring within its
limits. They are wanted as matter of
record, and are wanted correctly taken,
or Eelse why take them at all. Yet it
is all acknowledged fact that thesesbirth
certificates are illegible as submitted by
the midWives, and are guessed at. And
then again, it has become custom for
midwiveS to retain the certificate of q
birth for sometimes ten or fifteen DAYS
after its occurrence, when, batch of
perhaps dozen having accumulated,
the dear old lady will toddle down to
the office and turn them in. There is a
law compelling legibility, and it should
be enforced in some way. 1t may also
be said that the sooner the restrictions
hoped for by reputable medical practi-
TONERS are put i'll force in the midwife
business the better it will be for the
mothers prospective, and the better for
the prospect of securing a reliable rec
ord of births.

Terrible Spectacle Seen by a
Reporter at the Central
Police Station.
A Man Reduced to a Sickening
Condition by Opium
Eating.
His Body Covered From End
to End With fostering
Sores.
Assailants Of Supt. Hunt Have
Been Captured and Inn
prisoned.

Never did human being present
more notwithstanding spectacle than
that witnessed at the central police sta
ton when Edward McFaul was brought
into the place by Officer Davis, of the
Seventh and Robert street beat The
man was frightfully emaciated, and in
such condition of nervous prostration
as to be totally unable to stand. When
released for an instant by the officer
after the station had been reached, Nc
Faul dropped on his hands and knees
and began crawling over the floor. His
object in this became apparent
when he was seen to pick up
and greedily devour the frag-
menIs of cigars and cigarettes
which lay on the ground. He was
promptly brought to standing post
ure, but that position seemed to drive
him to an extreme of nervousness. He
drew up first one leg and then the other,
almost to his chin, and swung
his arms IN an aimlesS way,
all the time keepi ng his eyes
pied on the floor in search of more frag
ments of tobacco. On being questioned
by Lieut.. SchweitZer, the man admitted
that he was an opium debauchee. He
begged earnestly for some cocaine, and
told the lieutenant that he would die be-
fore morning if he couldn't get some Of
the drug. Schweitzer ordered his re-
moval to the city hospital. On arrival
there McF aul'S condition was found to
be worse than any had conceived. His
limbs were reduced to skeleton proper
lions, and his body was covered from
end to end with fostering sOreS-wounds
which will never heal. McFaul claims
to have been a resident of st. Paul for
twelve years, but at the station he told
different story, saying he had come
here from New York four years ago.
He says the opium habit was first con-
tracted by taking morphine for mumps.
He has passed through all the stages
OF absorption of the fatal drug,
and now even injections of the pure
cocaine have, but little effect III COM
posing his shattered nerves. He has
been regular habitue of Fifth street
dive in which opium smoking is a pet
diversion, and has of late resided at the
Columbia hotel, at the corner of. Smith
and Robert street. McFaul is still at
the hospital, but his case is a hopeless
one. AS soon as released he will re-
turn, as all it's victims do, to the use OF
the fatal cocaine, and his ultimate death
IL frightful agony can be but a matter
of weeks, OF months at least. McFaui
is the son of wealthy New York pal
rents, who know nothing of his where
abouts. He is we'll educated, and but
for his surrender TO opium might have

Opening of the City Hall at South
ST. Paul.

One of the handsomest structures that
has been built in or near st. Paul this
season is the new city hall at South st.
Paul. The officials of that municipal
ity, just South of this city, are so proud
of their recent work, especially in
the line of public buildings, that
they have stuck their hands
down into their pockets and
pulled out enough coin to give a grand
formal opening to the general public
this evening. The third story of the
building has been named the audito-
rum, and its gay decorations in Amer
lean colors and Asiatic bric-a-brac made
the visitors yesterday feel patriotic
enough to attend the swell event of the
Stockyards city and listen to the orator
ical fireworks that will precede the
music of the grand ball. The commit
teemen said: 1--WE have no tickets, but
all are as welcome as the sunlight
