DEATH OF PROFESSOR BROCK
MEYER.

Prof III. d. F. Brockmeyer diedTues.
day morning at his home on n.
Sixth street, of consumption. He had
been more or less a sufferer from that
disease for the past two years, but it
did not appear to have serious hold
upon him until last fall. During the
winter he had been confined to his
house, and for several weeks his case
had been considered hopeless.
Prof. Brockmeyer was about thirty
five years Of age, and leaves a wife and
several small children. He was well
educated, bright and pleasing in his
manner, and was good citizen. He
was for many years the teacher of the
German Lutheran school, at the cor
ner of Broad and Washington streets,
and was very successful. He posses
Sed the love and respect of his numer-
Gus pupils. Last Fall he was obliged
to resign his position, on account of
failing health. He received the De-
mocratic nomination for register of
deeds.
The Funeral will occur Friday. Sew
eral relatives from the east are ex-
pected. The bereaved family has the
sympathy of many friends.

Andrew G. Dunn, of Winebago
City, was in Mankato yesterday, and
he had heard nothing of the death of
Miss Lent. AS Mr. Dunn is the at
torney for the plaintiff, it would seem
that were the report of her death true
he would have heard of it. He says
that the young lady was injured very
seriously, and it is the opinion of her
physician that while she
may live she will always remain Grip
Die, her spine having been affected.

Negro Melodies.

Never having anything classical
about them, not suited in the fastidi-
Gus ear of the professional musician,
there is yet something undefnable
in the so-called plantation" melodies
which charms the heart of the great
mass of common humanity the world
over. The immense success of the two
or three troupes of genuine "Jubilee
Singers" that have made triumphal
progress through this country and Eu-
rope, attest the hold their songs have
on humanity. The old plantation
merry markings have passed away with
slavery, but now and then one on a
journey in the South will have an OPP
portunity to hear something of the
real sort. Besides, the Southern states
are delightful for winter tour. The
service of sThe Burling-
ton," reachingsboth Chicago and ST.
Louis over it's own tracks, without
change of cars, makes it the favoraite
of travellers bound south. Information
as to rates, routes, ETC., will be cheer
fully furnished by agents, or can be
had by writing to w. J. G. Kenyon.

CHANGE OF FIRM.

Mr.. Fl. G. Burgess yesterday pur-
chased W. B. Torrey's interest in the
livery business of Torrey & Ellis and
has assumed possession of his newly
purchased interest. The firm will
hereafter be known as Ellis & Bur-
CESS.
Mr.. Torrey, on assuming the duties
as Judge of the Probate Court, could
give no time to the livery business,
and in disposing of his interest to Mr..
Burgess, he will be succeeded by a
gentleman thoroughly popular and ac-
comodating. The firm of Ellis &
Burgess have the best wishes of the
community, and that the public will
be promptly and courteously served
is fully assured.

LIKELY NOT TO HANG.


VIM. Lentz, under sentence of death
for the murder of John Schwartz, is
in fair way of having his sentence
committed to life Imprisonment.
The FREE PRESS has heretofore
noted the fact that the prisoners at
torneys, Messrs. Pau & Young are
active in bringing pressure for execu-
tive clemency, and the petition circu
lated to this end has been very gener-
ally signed by those who watched the
case and followed the testimony. At
the invitation of the Governor, Judge
Severance, before whom LentZ was
tried and by whom he received his SEN
tence, left Wednesday for ST. Paul
and to the FREE PEEss he said that
he should recommend the commuta-
tion of sentence to life imprisonment.
The Judge says that while LentZ may
be and probably is, guilty of the MUIR
der of Schwartz, the testimony itself
is hardly sufficient to prove the charge.
He also says that provocation for sui
eide was quite as pronounced in the
testimony as the motive for murder,
and as long as there is so much uncer-
tainty he feels it incumbent upon him
self to at least make an open state
ment to the Governor that he may be
in possession of such facts surround
ing the trial as to guide him in max
ing an intelligent decision of the case
With such strong endorsements as
the prisoner will have there is little
doubt about the Governors decision.
Lentz will not be hanged. He main
tains that he is innocent of the crime
of murder, and as he is the only per-
son living who absolutely knows
whether it was murder or suicide, it
may be well to give him the benefit of
the doubt and save his life. If the
fellow Is innocent it is horrible to
think that he has got to spend his
days in fellon's cell. If guilty he
gets off light. There are those who
have no doubt in their own minds OF
his guilt, while others are quite as GER
tain of his innocence.
AS above stated there is little doubt
that the Governor, in the fullness of
his heart, will heed and grant the
prayer of petitioners, and Lentz will
be permitted to live behind iron CRATES.

Editor Free Press.
I notice in your paper of Feb. 3rd, a
report from Winebago City, to the eff
feet that Miss Lent, the teacher who
was SO severely injured, was dead. This
is not true. Your correspondent saw
the doctor in attendance on Miss Lent
yesterday and he was surprised to note
her death mentioned in the papers.
The injured lady is doing as well as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Yesterday was the day set
for the trial of the Cruzens, but it was
postponed until March 3rd.

mona and Lacrosse. 1t is the idea to
have spring and autumn races. Such
a combination would be a strong one
and could be able to secure some ex-
cellent horseflesh. The communica-
tion asked that delegates be sent to
Austin on Feb. 18th, to meet those
from the other cities interested. 1t is
believed that it would not be difficult
to secure a guarantee of $50 each from
fifty men. This would afford liberal
purses. 1t has been the experience
| hitherto that where citizens have
guaranteed any sum the affair has
been a success financially, and there is
every reason to believe that it would
be so in this case. Mankato should be
represented at the meeting.

AN OMINOUS CRACK.
1t Makes Its Appearance in the
Stevens Pump.
The Fracture is in the Cylinder-what
the Engineers Have to Say on
the Subject.

A new crack was discovered yesterday
in the water cylinder of the Stevens
pump at the Water Works. 1t is about
an inch in length and on the side of the
cylinder, near the corner of the water
chest. 1t is about foot above crack
which occurred some time ago. AT
every stroke of the pump a spray OF
water is forced out, causing no little an
noyance to the engineers.
Chief Engineer Judd, in conversation
with a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yester-
day, said:
''It was not an unexpected thing. The
cylinder is weakening every day, and
that crack is in direct line with another
lower down on the cylinder. 1t was
made to stand sixty pounds pressure,
but / would not dare to- use more than
forty pounds, at the most. One thing is
sure, and that is, that the people will be
without water some day, if they depend
on that pump. l don't think the cylin-
der will be able to stand more than
twenty pounds pressure in year from
now. We could put in a new improved
cylinder for about $1,000. but / don't
favor that proposition"
Engineer Renwick, when asked for his
views, said:
al don't think the cylinder is a bit
worse off that it was before the crack oc-
Cured, but it is only question of time
when the pump will have to be aban-
doned. It is of old style, and causes the
consumption of one-third more fuel than
a new, improved pump of the same capa-
city. The crack is what is called shrink
crack and is not necessarily danger
Gus. The cylinder is thicker at that point,
and the crack was caused by the iron on
either side of the thick portion getting
chilled more rapidly than the whole of
the cylinder. / don't favor the idea of
putting in a new cylinder. Besides, the
whole concern would have to be taken
apart to put the cylinder in place, and, in
my judgment, that would require about
six weeks time. The Stevens pump cam
not be stopped for such a length of time,
and this is how the matter stands"
Last evening Engineers judd and Rem
wick stopped the leak and braced that
portion of the cylinder with bands and
clamps, so as to prevent any widening OF
the crack, If possible.

What the Sailing Craft and Launch
Are Doing on the Sacramento

What the Sailing Craft and Launches
Are Doing on the Sacramento.
The strong breezes of the last few days
have given the sailing section of the river
yacht fleet excellent opportunity to
spread its wings, and the numerous
sloops have well improved. There are
several fast sailers on the river front.
The steam launch Nereida has arrived
at Colusa and is taking out excursion
parties from that city. The steamer will
The vapor yacht Nita, which has been on
the ways for nearly month undergoing
complete refitting, was on Wednesday
launched again and rechristened, this time
her burgee bears the name Bohemia,
in white letters on 4 red ground. Yes
terday she received her new engine, la five
horse power vapor, and late in the after
noon she made brief trial trip up the
river. The machinery works little stiff
fly yet and her speed cannot be now
determined. The yacht in her new fit
tings is very handsome craft.
Since the change of ownership the
naphtha yacht, the Canvasback fire.
quently comes out of her slip and leads
all the others in her movements. 1t is
understood that she will be fitted with
new motive power some time this sum-
mer.
The vapor launch Vidette, now that
the Nereida is away, is the fieetest of the
small yachts, with the Canvasback ex-
cepted.
The vapor yacht Miami, the
smallest of the fleet, is being fitted with
flying awning and almost nightly makes
short trips up or down the river. Her
owners are not yet satisfied with her
speed, but are steadyily increasing it.
The steamer Naomi, the largest of
the fleet, makes an occasional trip and
gives her owners great satisfaction. She
is the only wholly inclosed yacht on the
river her cabin covering the entire boat.
Captain Dalton's steam yacht has been
recently frightened up and put in first
class order and occasionally appears on
the water front bearing pleasure parties
