THE ARTIST CLEMENT

4 And His Paintings Now Owned
and Exhibited in ST. Paul.
Z Theophile Gautier. on the 2Sth CT
September, 1856, wrote in the MOniteur,
of Paris, that a young artist by the
name of Felix Auguste Clement, had.
on receiving from the L'Ecole des
sBeaux, Arts the Prx de Rome, thrown
his arms about his father and mother
and saluted them. This" adds Gau-
tier, twas most delicate and charm
ing idea on the part of this young men,
who in beauty resembles Greek god"
It was destined that in time the young
artist Clement should become one of
the greatest of French arti is and die
honored by the entire world.
1t is source of congratulation. then.
not alone to st. Paul, but to the whole
country, that there are now, and for the
first time, three original paintings from
the brush of Clement on exhibition in
st. Paul, and owned by st. Paul gen.
tleman-Julius KesSler. 1t can be
imagined that these three, with the fol-
lowing exceptional art history on paint

For this the author was made COM
mander of the Legion of Honor, 1855.

Prof. Joseph Kessler purchased these
paintings for Julius Kessler after a
fierce competition with English and
German bidders. Their merit as ex-
quisite studies in anatomy and fem
mime beauty, with delicacy of color
unrivalled, made them costly jems for
American buyers. They are, without
question. the most rare studies in nude
ever offered to the American public
perforce Clement being dead, and there
being as yet no genius to take up his
brush.
Mr.. Kessler hung the paintings yes
terday, and last night they were re-
vealed to the public. There was to be
seen in them from the first glance a
a masters hand-the colors of Quitor-
reto; the automical merits of Regn-
ault; the genius of an artist whom all
France pronounced at his death, mas
ter, in whose presence but few could
dare to shine.

BY INJUNCTION.
The Great Northern Will Carry
the Bridge Question Into Court.

The Great Northern Will Carry
the Bridge Question Into Court.
Yesterday morning City Attorney
Holman, City Engineer Rundlett and
Col. Clough held conference in re-
gard to the Broadway bridge question.
Mr.. Holman said that he still thought
that the eity's title to the land in ques-
ton was good. and that the contractors
should have police protection in their
work if necessary. In the afternoon
the Great Northern company announced
their decision of proceeding by injunc-
ton. The injunction will be applied
for in the district court, probably early
next week. In the meantime the work,
which was stopped some days since,
will be further postponed.
Mr.. Holman was found by a GLOBE
reporter at his home last evening. He
said:
1.-The cause of the dispute, in a nut
she'll, is the accuracy of plat drawn in
1854. The first plat on record, drawn
and filed in 1852, does not show Broad
way continued to the river The
second one, and the one now in force,
does show this. The Great Northern
company claim that this is an error of
the draughtsman. The two plats, how
ever. show other very material differ
ences and the second is very apparently
not copy of the first. 1t is complete
Encouragement. The principal points
on which the city bases its case
are the validity of the second plat,
the fact that many years ago sewer
was laid through the disputed ground
without objection; that in 1873 the
street was graded without objection,
and that in 1880 the Union Depot com
pany, Of which the Great Northern is a
large stakeholder. asked of the city and
was granted, 1875 feet of the disputed
land. This grant was made with the
| proviso that the city should be allowed
to bridge over it at any time in the tut
ure. IF this injunction, for which they
intend to ask, be granted, the case will
probably be carried to the supreme
court. If the city be defeated there it
will necessitate the condemning of the
land and the payment to the Great
Northern road considerable sum OF
money. Besides this, it will delay, for
an indefinite period, the building of the
bridge. This settlement of the matter
by Injunction in the courts is certainly
the most sensible and dignified method
OF dispoSing of the dispute"

Last night a sad life came to tragic
in full possession of his mental power,
but weighed down by grief after grief,
deliberately ended his miserable life
with his own hand.
At about O'Clock on the corner of
Kittsondale street and University
avenue, the body of well dressed man
: was found. He was lying just within
the fence. He was prone on his back.
his arms calmly folded across his breast.
His attitude denoted calm and peace
full sleep rather than death.
In his throat was fearful
cash reaching from ear to ear
and cut almost to the bone.
1t must have been a determined hand
which cut so deep. Under the body was
the razor with which the deed was
side OF the fence was trail of blood,
showing that he must have cut himself
in the street, crawled feebly along the
fence to gap and back again on the
other side, opposite his starting point.
There. his life-blood almost spent, he
quietly composed his limbs and waited
for death. The case was at once re-
ported to Coroner Quinn, and the body
was taken to the morgue. He was
about five feet ten inches tall, ana
weighed 140 pounds. He was we'll
dressed. and everything about his per-
son showed immaculate neatness.
He had full brown beard. Nothing
was found in his pockets blu
note written in German. 1t was al
most illegible. but enough could be
made out to see that it was farewell to
his friends. 1t was signed with the
name Carl Schaefer. There were refer
enceS in it to his children and their
mother.
After long search GLOBE reporter
found some of his friends, who went to
the morgue and identified the body.
Ills history and the causes which led to
his sad end are as follows: He was
born in Breslau, Germany, in 1914,
and came to this country with his wife
and family. about twenty years ago. He
was brushmaker by occupation. He
lived in the East for some years, and
then moved to Chicago. Here he had
times charged her with infidelity,
though this could not be substantiated.
About two years ago he left his family,
came to st. Paul and obtained work
with Mandel, Bros, the brush manutac-
turers on jackson street. He COM
menced to drink very hard, and several
times he lost his position OH that ac-
count. but was taken back. About two
weeks ago he was finally discharged
and another man put in his place. He
was entirely out of money. and he
searched in vain for work: Last Wednes--
day he was told by Charles
Schollenberg, his landlord, that
he must leave, as be already owed con-
siderable for board. He wandered
about the city all day and finally. COM
pletely respondent he went to the
secluded spot where he was. found. took
his razor from his pocket and ended his
life. He has few intimate friends here
and it is probable that the city will be
obliged to care for the body.

THE SEA WING DISASTER.
The Inspectors Report Will Show
Cant. Wethern to Blame.

The evidence has all been taken in
the Sea Wing disaster investigation.
Captains Monahan and Chalk, who COM
pose the Duluth local board of inspect
ors, are examining the evidence prepar-
atory to making report to Gen. Du-
mont, supervising inspector at Wash
ington. Inspector John D. Sloane. of
this city, said yesterday that the investi-
CATION properly belonged to the Duluth
local board, but as Captains Monahan
and Chalk were kept busy during
the Duluth regatta preventing the use
of vessels or barges contrary to law,
and thus guarding against accidents on
the lake there, they could not give their
attention to the matter promptly and
fully after the accident. Acting under
instructions fromaGen. Dumont in such
cases, Inspector Sloane had telegraphed
to Capts. Knapp and Geager, of the
the investigation.
Inspector Sloane and Capts. Knapp
and Geager have come to an unanimous
conclusion as to the recommendations
to he made to the department at Wash
ington, but think it improper to dis
close what conclusion they have come
to in advance of the action by Super
vising Inspector Dumont. The evidence
will be sent on to Washington on Mon
day, together with the recommends
lions of Inspector Sloane and the Du-
luth and Galena boards. The local board
has the authority to revoke the license
of Capt. Wetheren, if, in its opinion.
the circumstances warrant. 1t can also
make information in the federal court
and prosecute him for criminal careless
ness OF violation of the law. Mr.. Sloane
said yesterday: You can see that the
certificate of inspection requires that
the Sea Wing should have competent
officers and crew. 1t was necessary for
Capt. Wetheren to have an excursion
permit in his own name. The evidence
shows that none of these requirements
were complied with. You can draw
your own Inference as to what action
will be taken in the matter"

A Total Smash-Up on the Bur-
LngtOn & Northern.

A Burlington & Northern freight
train that left La Crosse at 2:I5
Wednesday afternoon ran into boulder
that had slipped onto the track at
Diamond Bluff, about IL O'Clock the
same evening. The train was moving
at full speed and the engineer did not
see the obstruction until the engine was
about to strike it. The engine was
thrown off the track and badly battered
up. Eight of the sixteen box cars in the
train were wrecked. The engineer
and fireman escaped serious injury,
although badly shaken up. William
Woodward, brakeman, whose home is
at La Crosse, was badly crushed and
died before he could be brought to St.
Paul. The accident was reported to
st. Paul about midnight and special
train was sent ont to the scene. The
injured besides Woodward, who died,
were four tramps who were concealed
about the train. They were taken to
the city hospital, where an examination
showed that John Sullivan had badly
crushed leg, besides other serious
bruises, John Patterson, George Brown
and George Schumeister had received
slight bruises. 1t is feared Sullivan
may not recover.
