Oakland boulevard, Chicago, was brut-
ally beaten and robbed of pOcketbook
containing $50 in money and valuable
papers Thursday night, about midnight,
and now lies at the st. James hotel in o
critical condition from his wounds.
HanScOm had been boarding
at the st. James, and for
some days had been drinking
heavily and frequenting the Jumbo and
other resorts of a tough class. At an
early hour yesterday morning he was
brought to the side door of the hotel by
man who hurried away, and when the
night clerk looked at him he found he
was seriously injured. DIR. Morrel was
called and found that HanScOm had a
broken jaw and several other wounds.
He was too drunk to have any idea who
assaulted him, but two messenger boys
who witnessed the affair stated
that four men had done the
smuggling OH First street, near
Third avenue south and gave descrIp-
ton OF the men, from which the detect
Ives made four arrests. Bennie COwell,

All OF them are tough characters, and
well, if not favOrably, known to the po-
lice all over the country. They will
have hearing as soon as HanScOm re-
covers sufficiently to appear against

HE is SEVENTY.
Very Old Couple Appear in the
Divorce Court.

Patrick Eagan is seventy years of age
and is supposed to be worth about
$4,000, yet he is the defendant I'M a
divorce suit. His wife, Ellen, is fifty
four years of age and claims to he hav-
ing hard time of it. She
wants a limited divorce and a good
slice out of her husbands's fort
une. Mr.. aud Mrs. Eagan were
married at Winona i'm 1858, and for
more than twenty years they sailed
along in matrimonial bliss and comfort.
The trouble began in 1877. when, if
Mrs. Eagan'S story is true, Patrick
broke the bonds of peace and happiness
by pouring pot of boiling tea over his
wife. As soon as Mrs. Eagan recovered
from this scalding she went to AL
bert Lea and supported her
self by working in laundry.
She says that she left her
husband because he had threatened to
do her bodily harm if she remained
with him. After separation of nearly
two years, however, Mr.. and Mrs
Egan made up and began tO,liye together
again. But they didn't get along very
well, according TO Mrs. Egau's story,
and another separation followed. In
her complaint, the wife says that her
husband has been a drunkard for
the last ten years. Mrs. Eagan SAYS
her husband owns a farm of 100 acres
near Austin, worth $50, COO, and has
other property amounting to $4,000.
She saws she has been obliged to work
hard for her living. and now she wants
a share of her husbands fortune so
that she may live easy in her old age.

Several matters of Importance are ex-
pected to arise at the meeting of the park
board on Monday afternoon. Among
them the reports of the committee on
rules and that of the Berry investigating
committee. The former will probably
be laid over for one meeting and the lat

Minnehaha falls is now almost complete
The few gaps have been filled UP by the

Williams Condition Serious.

The case of Henry Jones, the colored
porter charged with having shot George
block on Tha nkSgiyiug day, came up in
the municipal court again Yesterday
and was continued until the 18th inst,
as Williams is still unable to appear. A
physicians certificate setting forth this
latter fact was presented to the court.
II now appears highly probable that the
charge against Jones may be changed
to something more serious than assault
in the first degree, as Williams wound
Is more serious than was at first sup
posed, and there are grave fears that he
cannot recover. The bullet in his Jaw
has already given the physicians con-
siderable trouble, and his condition is
now becoming serious. as unexpected
complications have arisen.

TRACK LOWERING AGAIN.
Ex-Governor Pill jbury's Objec
tiOns-What 1t VIII Cost.

Ex-Governor PHI jDury'S ObjeC-
tions-What 1t VIII Cost.
The track-lowering question is COM
Ing up again. Soon it will be demand
ing as much attention as the pump in
veStigation. Some time ago c. A. Pills
bury opposed the attempt to force the
Milwaukee to lower its tracks. lie is
now indorsed by his uncle, ex-Gov.
John 5. Pillsbury. The ex-governor
says that if Minneapolis keeps OH nag
glng the Milwaukee company about
Its tracks, that corporation will
pull up stakes and remove its
shops from Minneapolis. He thinks
that the road has always been such
good friend 10 Minneapolis that it should
be treated with courtesy. The pay roll
of the company in Minneapolis amounts
to $50, 900 month. He says there is no
necessity for more than one or two
bridges over the Ii. d. u. tracks. and
that the South Minneapolis cutoff is
not needed at all. If built it will, he
thinks. injure the manufacturing plants
of South Minneapolis.
NJ. ID. Rhame, the resident engineer
of the Milwaukee, says he will bave his
estimates ready for the conference Dec.
26. de sees no engineering difficulties
Second street and across the river, bat
he thinks the cost would be immense.
On this point Engineer Rinker says:
"A new bridge will cost about 500, 900,
and the remainder of the cost will be
for right of way. If the Kansas City
road is disposed to assist the Milwaukee,,
the expense will be in the ratio of about
81 where there would he $40 if the Mil
waukee has to go it alone. | mean by
this that. ii the Kansas City is willing,
the Milwaukee could place Its new
tracks alongside of and partly in the
Kansas City right of way, proceeding
which would not injure the Kansas City
in the least, and would be of immense
saving to the Milwaukee. Without this
help, the proposed new line would mean
the outlay of very large sum of money,
sum larger, it may be. than the com
pany would feel like expending, unless
compelled to do so. The Kansas City
could allow the Milwaukee to use part
OF IFS right of way, and the Northern
Pacific could allow it to use its new
bridge, and neither be the worse for it.
This would make the expense of the
operation merely nominal, and might
make The Milwaukee regard it more
more favOrably."

Not the County's Business.

The grand jury is-nOt at all likely to
indict any salOonkeepers for keeping
their places open on Sunday. Several
days ago Young and Selover, the cru
saders. asked County Attorney Than to
bring the Sunday closing matter before
the jury. and that official did so. The
crusaders were ushered into the presence
of the grand jury and given a full
hearing. 1t is not thought, however,
that any indictments will follow, be-
cause the county attorney and jurors
are of the opinion that the municipal
court is the proper place in which TO
punish the viOlators of the Sunday law.
There is really no excuse for putting
the expense of prosecuting city cases
upon the county.
The grand jury has taken recess
until Tuesday morning.

a Singular Notion.

A singular and withal pitiful case of
insanity has been brought to the notice
of the visitors to the union depot within
the past few days, the sufferer being an
estiMable and highly connected young
lady of this city, and the sister OF a
lawyer whose office is in the Guaranty
Loan building. The unfortunate girl.
it appears, is possessed of haIlucina-
ton of the nature of violent passions for
clerk in the check department of the
depot, and for several days past she has
hung about the place, making it very
unpleasant for the young man by max
ing love to him and reproaching him for
his GOODNESS toward her.

A Hole In His Pocket.

Arthur B. Church, messenger for
the Commercial bank, lost $1,000 of the
banks money through hole in his
pocket Tuesday afternoon. Church
started for the Citizens bank with the
money, which was in bills, and put the
roll III his outside coat pocket. When
he arrived at his destination he found
the money gone and hole in his pock-
ct. Church has the full confidence of
his employers, and. as the hole in his
pocket is evidently all old one, lie is
not accused of anything more serious
than carelessness. A detective has been
put to work on the case, however.

Coroner Byrnes was called upon yes

death in South Minneapolis. Miss Josie
NJ. Nystrom was taken sick on Thurs
day morning, and at p. N. was taken
to l10 Thirteenth street, where her Sis
ter worked as domestic. At ii 80 that
night she died, and the exact cause of
death was rot plainly apparent, al
though it was thought to he diphtheria.

Not Enough Power.

MIlder weather has, SO far this week,

but still the great bulk of the output is
made by steam. The weeks production

cIsion in the case of Thomas Lowry
against J. NJ. Akers 10 set aside a GER
titicate of redemption on certain prop

The court decided that Lowry had made

King and DoyIe's Salary.

Notwithstanding that Detectives King
and DOYLE have been relieved
duty, their salaries still run on, and City
Attorney Russell states that they will
continue to be entitled to draw 500 per
month from the city treasury until they
are formally removed from the force,
whether they are called upon to do any
work or not. Mayor Winston will re-
turn to the city today and will probably
decide then how long they are 10 draw
salaries without work.

There are about dozen divorce cases

but none of them promise salaciOus food
for the court loafers Most of the cases
are based on cruel and inhuman treat

desertion. The wives are the plaintiffs
