WASHINGTON. April 13.-It was sad
and touching scene at the Randall resi-

Randall's death was painless, and he

AveIOped the fact that II. M. Pear ,e is an
employe of the Duluth road. He is not
a resident at that number, but is about
to become one. Mr.. Pearce is at present
in New York city. The description of
the man found dead at North Branch
answers pretty closely to that of
Levi Dovell, who is railroad emplOye
and lives at 532 Laurel ave-
nue.. Mr.. Dovell Is in Du-
uth. Mr.. Dovell, however, is taller
than the dead man. and wears mus
tache. His friends think it is not he, as
he has number of acquaintances at
North Branch, who would, in all like
lihood, recognize him. The suDposition
is that the dead man is railroad at
tache who has had business with Mr..
Pearce and thereby came by his address.

WAS IT DOVELL?
The Body of a Man Found Near
North Branch.

SPECIAL to the Globe
NORTH BRANCH, Minn., April 49,
An unknown man was found dead on
the railroad track, a mile and half
north of this station, this morning be-
tween 5 and o'clock. He was cut and
bruised beyond recognition. The man
was about i've feet, four inches in
height, weighed about 100 pounds
and was about twenty-five years
of age. His hair was close
cut and little sandy in color, with blue
eyes, and a scar on his right arm, which
had evidently been broken at some pre-
vious time. 1t is probable that he fell
from some train and was run over. The
only paper found about him was a Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
letter head, on which was written Ii.
Nj. Pearce, $50 Laurel avenue. No date
or signature was upon the sheet.

A WIPES REMORSE.
1t Drives Her TO Seek Death by
Strychnine.

Lulu Rogers, wife of William ]. Rogers, 4
strcet-car conductor on Folsom street, COM
mitted suicide at II o'clock yesterday morn
ing at her rooms, "a Folsom street, by
taking strychnine. The intense pains pro-
duced by the poison wrung screams from the
dying woman and an effort was made to
save her life, but she died on the way to the
! Receiving Hospital. Her body is at the
Morgue.
The young woman's case is peculiarly
sad one. She was only 10 years of age, and
endowed by nature with much personal at
Effectiveness. Her face was pretty, eXqui-
sitely chiseled, while her figure was well
rounded although rather small in stature.
But it was the old story-her piquancy and
charms created all her troubles, which
ended in tragic death.
Three years ago she was married to
Rogers, in the State of Washington, ami
quite recently the young couple with their
two children came to San Francisco ana en-
gagged The apartments in which she killed
herself. Her husbands vocation compelled
him to be out until late at night, and in his
absence she sought pleasure elsewhere than
at home. Sunday night she remained out
too late, for when Rogers returned after
midnight she WAS absent When she did
come IN 1t was 2 O'clock and no entreatieS
could induce her to say where she had been.
A quarrel followed. She SAID she thought
she had better leave altogether, to which
lie replied, Eyes, if this is the way you are
going to behave"
Next morning the children were taken by
the father and given in charge of his wife'S
sister. At night another quarrel took place,
and when the woman was seen yesterday
morning she appeared very respondent
She bought he poison at a drugstore, I'M
dressed herself and went to bed. After
these preparations she took half the con-
tents Of Il phial of strychnine. a scream
attracted the land 'ady, who broke open the
door and called in an officer. They put her
in a carriage but she died before arriving
at the hospital, and the driver proceeded to
the M0rgue.
Size left the following note to her hus-
band:
Dear WI: Good. by, my darling. / hope
you VIII learn IN time, and after am dead, To
forgive me for what have done. Kiss the chill
dren good By FOR Inc. l thought l would use the
knife. but was too big coward. You can give

SCANNELL OBJECTS.
He Proves a Constant Stumbling
Block 10 Special Privileges.

Chief Scannell waxed quite wrathy at the
meeting of the Fire Committee of the Board
OF Supervisors yesterday because of the
disposition of the committee to grant per-
mits in violation of the strict letter of the
fire ordinance.
There is never a meeting Of that com
mittee but that from ole to a dozen petitions
are received for permits to do this and that.
4 violation of the law. This occurred again
yesterday when w. D. O'Kane asked for
tie privilege of laying some boards in
slanting position about ten feet from the
GROUND, 81 that he could lodge his vehicles
under them.
Il can't see any objection to that" sug-
gested supervisor Barry, who was in the
chair, ''can you, Chlef?" screwiny the
chair about and addressing the head Of the
Fire cpartment, who shrugged his Shout
deTs and looked annoyed
Gentlemen, It's against the law. Now you
know that as well as l do. That place is
within the fire limits, and every additional
stick OF lumber increases the possibilities Of
ire. It's against the law. That's all I've to
saw"
. One OF the propretors Of an evening paper,
who is always in attendance at the COM
miltee meetings looking out for special
privileges that have to be published in the
paper he represents, began to fidget in his
chair as the Chief snarled. He saw another
special privilege ADVERTISEMENT slipping
through his fingers, aud it made him ner
NouS. Finally, when the committee decided
10 p, stpone consideration of the petition for
one week, the irate newspaper proprietor
lost his seli-contrOl
lie jumped cut Of his chair, snatcnsd his
hat and made dash for the outer door of
the committe.-rooms. Before going far,
however, he heard the singsopg tones Of the
rlerk reading petition of John Dee for
privilege 10 project doorway two feet on
Sidewalk" He halted and prickCd up his
ears. Here was another application for a
special privilege, ana he muTmured: 81
wonder il the old curmudgeon will kick on
this one" Before he had retraced step
tie Chief blurted out:
well, 1 shall most decidedly object to
that"
Another SO "ad" was knocked out, max
ing four in succession, on account OF the
Ch!tfs lick. The neWspaperman looked
blank for moment. Then a wave of dis
gust swallowed him up. He looked around
for ray OF sympathy from some OF the by
.sta1ders, but finding noue he edged up to
his nearest neighbor and whispered in i'm
potent rage:
Dye ever see such an old crank?
Wouldn't do a bit OF hurt to grant them
privileges He does that every time the
committee meets, tie old granny. Why he
has cost me a fortune in the last few years"
ana unable TO express himself further lie
lammed his head into his hat and passed

WAKED UP EFFECTUALLY

A gentler, pleasanter and far more effec-
tive means exists of arousing the organ

Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the med
ical fraternity, tested by the public for
many years. A resumption by the hillary
organ of its secretive function, with the
activity attendant upon health, a return
to regularity of the bowels, and renew
al of digestion, are the no less happy and
certain results of using the Bitters sys-
tematically. Its laxative effect is never
painful and drenching, its tendency being
rather to perpetuate regularity than to
produce copious action. Malaria, ner-
vousness, debility, kidney troubles and
neuralgia it subdues effectually. 36-4t

New ORLEANS. Las, March IA
personal visit to Raleigh or Pecan Grove
yesterday, satisfied your correspondent
as to the extent of the damage. At 3
O'Clock yesterday the crevasse was 1000
feet or more wide, and the ends were cav
ing so rapidly that it was foolhardiness to
approach them. The levee Is nearly Is
feet high and the immense volume of
water was rushing through it in stream
ten or more feet deep. The extent OF
the crevasse and the immense amount of
water delivered by it may be estimated
by the fact that in "a hours ending yes
terday evening, the river has fallen three
inches at Vicksburg, and four inches at
Lake Providence, though rising stead
ily prior to the crevasse. Assistant En-
gineer Thompson who arrived at the
crevasse last evening, is quoted as say
ing that no crevasse at any point along
the line of the fifth levee district could
occasion such results as the one at
Raleigh.

A Mule as a Fog Horn

Jupiter can boast of the most intelli,
gent mule on record. The mule is 81
years old, Every night he proceeds to
the life saving station. 1t is customary
for the man on watch to discharge his
coston signal(a red light when vessels
come too near the beach. The mule has
caught on to what this signal means.
So every night at 8 8o'clock the sailors
four legged friend proceeds to walk the
beach, and if a vessel comes too near the
shore he sends forth neigh that makes
night hideous. Port or starboard your
helm is the order on the ship, and away
sail the jolly tars in safety and with a
grateful heart to the four legged patrol
man.-Savannah News.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Disposition, intellect, genius, come
pretty much by nature; but character Is
an achievement.
A weak mind is like microscope,
which magnities trifling things, but can
not receive great ones.
No man is a-gentleman who, without
proyocation, would treat with incivility
the humblest of his species.
Even the,vsry ablest, most laborious
and most useful of men cannot afford to
make enemies right and left of high and
low.
To ensure health, so far as human eff
fort can control the matter, one should
above all be cheerful, contented, and
calm.
The one who will be found in trial ca
rable of great acts of love is ever the
one who is always doing considerable
small ones.
There is considerable dormant genius
that ought never to be awakened, If the
comfort of others is to be taken into
consideration.
Kind words make other people good
natured; cold words freeze people, and
hot words scorch them, and bitter words
make them wrathful.
We are all dissatisfied. The,only diff
ference is that some of us sit down in
the squalor of our dissatisfaction, while
others make ladder oft.
Young people should never forget
that they have in their brains and hands
while the power of brains and hands re-
mains, actual money-yielding capital.
Mental worry and disquiet, arising
from any cause, is the strongest agent
in ''aging" men or women. 1t is an in
cessant source of exhaustion to the vital
forces.
