The Swedish Quartet Concert Co.
Encore hall never had larger audience
in it than was present last night at the first
appearance in this city of the Swedish
Quartet concert company under the man
agement of the Y. M. c. A. The generous
programme was lengthaned out by numer-
GUS encores. In the Fisherman duet
Messrs Pugh and Skoog captured the audi
ence. OF Miss Laura Barden it may be
said that her superior in her line has never
been seen in this city. Her recitation of
the description OF the chariot race from
Ben Hur was remarkably fine rendition.
The recitation Of the Dinner Party, with
its quaint touches of humor, made many
sides ache with laughter.
The character of entertainments as
promised by the Y. M. G. A. early in the
session is being fully kept up to the stand
ard.
The great success of last nights enter
tainment has decided the managers of the
Y. Nj. G. A., course to secure return en- ,
gagement for Saturday night. This has
been done in response to a general request
of the music loving people. The pro-
gramme will be entirely changed and Hiss
Barden and the Swedish quartette will no
doubt meet with even q warmer reception
than they had last night.

CHLORoFORM KILLED HER.
A Chicago Young Lady Dies in
Commissions.

CHICAGO. Ill.,, Nov. 9.-Friday after
noon the death of Marion c., daughter
of Darlington T. Jones, of 6941 Yale
street, Englewood, ILL.,. occurred at the
Presbyterian hospital while undergoing
a surgical operation for the removal of
a small mole on her right cheek. The
case is ali extremely pitiful one. Marion
was beautiful girl despite the fact that
a small mole had made it's appearance
on her right cheek. 1t was this small
defect which was primarily the cause of
her death. Her parents were very anX-
ious that their daughter should appear
well in society. and the mole was
a constant source of annoyance to
them. Then, too. they feared
that 1t might develop into something
more serious. After considerable de-
liberation it was decided to have the
blemiSh removed by surgical opera
ton. Friday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones selected the Presbyterian hos
pital as the institution for the operation
to be performed at. 1t is said that it
was Dr. Charles ParkeS, member of the
surgical staff OF the hospital, who piled
the knife. Marion was placed on the
operating table, and preparations were
made by DR.. Parkes for administering
the usual an3Sthetic. A cloth was Satu-
rated with chloroform and applied to
the girls nostrils. So brave was she
that she offered to hold the cloth in
place while the surgeon was placing his
instruments in position in readiness for
the operation. Then, with her parents
standing beside her the young girl sank
into a sleep from which she was never
to awake. The mole was soon removed
and restoratives applied in order to re-
affnr IL Il
only ill a CONFUSION, which ended in
death. When Dr.. Parkes was forced to
announce the sad fact, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones refused to believe it. But when
they finally realized the truth their
grief moved even the attendants, who
re accustomed to such scenes, to tears.
The funeral occurred to-day from the
Jones residence, and the remains sent
to Covington, o., for burial DR.. Parkes,
when seen, had little to say for pubica-
ton, further than the girl was given
chlorOform in the usual manner, and
instead of reviving she went into con-
vulsion an d died,

MERRIAM NOW LEADS.

Reelected.
Official Returns, However,
Will Be Required to Settle
the Matter.
Footings of the Vote as Can
VaSsed Give Merriam 796
Plurality.
Complete Returns From the
Fifth District Elect Hal
vorsen to Congress.

The GLOBE has received official re-
turns from siXty-eight of the eighty
counties of Minnesota on the vote for
governor. The remaining eleven coun-
lies have sent in complete, though un-
off cial, returns. Upon what is now the
apparent face of the returns, William
r. Merriam has plurality of T95 votes
in a total of 100000. 1t will be some
days yet before the official canvass is
completed. and the official returns may
change the present aspect. The changes
already made between what are known
as complete" and ''otficial'' re-
turns: foot up over 1,5O0, leay-
ing a wide range of possibility.
After the vote shall have been can
yassed in the several counties the re-
turns will be sealed and forwarded to
the secretary of state. On the third
Tuesday of December the official cam
Vass will then be made. The secretary
If state will summon two justices of the
iupreme court and two judges of the
district court, and the four, with the
secretary, Will tabulate and formulate
The official returns and issue the certif
Gates Of election. Until that time, it
will remain an open question who is to
De the next governor of Minnesota.
The Democratic state central COM
mittee does not concede the election of
Sow. Merriam, even upon the face of
lhe returns, and possibly not. though
he should have an apparent plurality,
lfter the official canvass by counties is
made during this week. With the re-
nembrance of the peculiar work follow
ing the election of 1886 fresh in the pub
lie mind, it will not seem strange if the
absolute correctness of these returns is
questioned, to say nothing of question
ng the actual vote of some
If the northern counties. 1t
IS the disposition of Judge
Wilson, the Democratic candidate for
governor, to eoncede the election of
Gov. Merriam, if he shall finally be
shown to have an honest plurality of
sne vote; but Judge Wilson has a long
record of untiring pursuit of official
fraud or dishonesty Of whatever charac-
Ter. and the public may rest assured
lhat when he announces he has been
beaten, the vote has been freely and
fairly cast and honestly counted. 1t
may also rest assured that Judge Will
son is the man who will seek out and
bring TO light any ballot rascality that
may have tranSplred.
The GLOBE knows Of no fraud that
has been committed in this election, and
will give no countenance to intimation
of any merely to delay the settlement
of political issue. The public mind
should be set at rest as soon as possible
on the question of governor: but there
nay have been errors in the footing and
transmission of the vote. Therefore, it
is but right to say the question of who
is elected governor is yet an open one,
and will be undecided until the new eX-
acutive takes his seat.
What the GLOBE believes to be the
most correct statement of the vote yet
printed is contained in the following
table:

SEARCHES FOR RICHES
And Lands in a New York City
Cooler,

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Mrs. Angelina
Elizabeth Conrad, of Bro okville:
Broken county, Kentucky, mas allowed
herself to be duped by the oily circulars
of the green goods swindlers in the be-
lief that with $500 of good money she
could come to the metropolis and buy
$4,000 of counterfeit just as good as
the genuine. Inspector Bvrnes' de-
tectives saved the lady from Walter
Willard, alias big Walter" whose
picture is in the rOgue's gallery.
The detectives had been shadowing
Willard and traced the crook to Newark,
n. j., where he met Mrs. Conrad, intro
ducing himself by aQueer symbal figure
on a telegraph blank of which each car
ried copies. The detectives followed
the sharper and his dupe to New York
and arrested both near the New York
end Of the ferry. At police head
quarters, when Mrs. Conrad was intro
duced to Inspector Byrnes last night,
she at first entertained him by quoting
from Holy Writ and made the remark
that she could never tell lie. She is a
woman of about forty-nine years of age.
She own seventy-ac farm, has eight
children and has been widow
ten years. Her character is decisive,
as was seen when a 32-caliber revolver
was found concealed about her person.
She remarked she could take care of
herself. 1t was not until she had been
locked up all night that to-day Mrs.
Conrad made clean breast of the
whole case to Inspector Byrnes. To-
morrow she will appear against Willard
at the Tombs police court.

FARRAR FAvoRs 1T.
The Archdeacon Supports the
Scheme ofGen. Booth.

The ArchdeacOn Supports the
Scheme OF Gen. Booth.
LoNDoN,:Nov. g. 9.-Archdeacon Farrar
delivered an earnest address this morn
ing at Westminster abbey in support of
the scheme of Gen. Booth for the re-
demption of England's poverty-strlcken
masses. The announcement that the
erchdeacOn would speak on this topic
had attracted such a thrOng of people
that after the abbey had been crowded
to its utmost capacity thousands were
turned away, unable to gain admission.
Gen. Booths novel and alluring plan is
now one of the chief subjects OF public
interest. Twenty leading clergymen Of
Great Britain have signed an appeal to
the people to raise the S5,000,000 which
I Gen. Booth thinks would be required to
. successfully carry out the enterprise.
Cardinal Manning and most of the Pro-
testant bishops have indorSed the plan.
The Prince OF Wales has written Gen.
5aRooth heartily approving the scheme,
which hedeScribeSs as an Intelligent and
promising effort stossaid the people
I whose welfare is near my heart" But
Gen. Booth is being met by controversy
and criticism as well as approval. Many
who agree with HIM as to the need of
remedial measures believe that the help
must be through legislation. Mr.. Booth
proposes to apply his panacea without
invoking the aid Of parliament. His
: most formidable critics contrast the
enormous possibilities of useful legis-
lation, affecting the land of the whole
|: country, with his proposal concerning a
mere garden patch of LOCO acres. Gen.

would be but an experiment Oh a
smaller scale than that of Robert Owen,
though possibly with better assurances
of success. But, it is asked, if the 1.O0O-
acre colony is to flourish, why stop
there? Seeing that within fifty-mile
radius of London there are wide dis
trictS so very sparsely populated, why
deal with colonies over the sea? Gen.
Booth, in the opinion of many, has
made mistake. Rural England is one
of the most thinly populated countries
in Europe. Mr.. DE LiSle, the Tory
mem ber of parliament for part of Lei

much in their own country as in the
colonies. MIR. Booth seems to he of the
same opinion, and to feel himself pre-

government cooperation as he seems to

FOR A COMPUTATION.
A NJ Ovement to Save the Life of
Murderer Birchall.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-As Birchall'S day
of execution approaches, the interest
IN his case increases. The movement
for commutatiOn of sentence has re-
ceived strong support from this coun-
try, partly owing to the fact that the
criminals family is SO respectfully con-
nected. and partly through the pre-
valent sentiment of hesitation to infiict
the death penalty OH circumstantiai evil
dence. The farm-premium business
has received a final blow in the
conviction of Birchall. The adver-
tisements for young men to pay
premiums for the privilege of
doing hard work on an American or
Australian farm have disappeared from
the London press. and profitable and
no doubt largely fraudulent traffic has
been brought to an end. 1t is reported
that Oswald Birchall, half-brother OF
Blrchall, is SO stricken with grief that
fears are entertained for his reason. He
addressed vain request to Col. Ben
well, father of the murdered man, to
join in application for mercy on the
ground that Birchall might not be the
actual murderer. Mr.. Stevenson, the
father of Mrs. BirchalI, has sent word
to his daughter to return to England
without delay.
