MADE A BURGESS.
Newcastle Grants Gladstone the
Freedom of the City.

NEWCASTLE, Oct. 3.-The town hall
here to-day presented most animated
spectacle, the occasion being the pres
entation of the freedom of the city to
Gladstone. AS early as 10 o'clock, the
immense building was packed every
where possible, and color was lent to
the scene by the presence of many la
dies, who almost equaled the gentlemen
in numbers. AS Mr.. Gladstone entered
the hall, accompanied by the mayor and
mayoress Of Newcastle and John Nor
ley, the immense audience rose to its
feet and greeted him with prolonged
and enthusiastic cheering.
Mr.. Gladstone and his party pro-
ceeded to the platform, and when or
der had been restored the mayor arose
and presented Gladstone with the parch-
ment making him citizen of Newcas-
tie, and the latter signed his name to
the list of burgesses or freemen of the
city. Then. addressing the vast audi
ence, Mr.. Gladstone spoke in praise of
the principle of local self-goyernment.
Later on, referring to free trade, Mr..
Gladstone said: "Our children and
kinsmen in America. to whom we have
looked, and might still look, to teach us
many useful legislative lesson, have

retrograde action. They have thought

Run Down by Brilliant

Who Killed Hans Hanson {?
The Mysterious Crime as
Yet Unavenged.

The c0wardly assassination of Police
Officer Grant by the actor, w. B. Curtis,
better known as "Sam'l of Posen,"
which occurred recently at San Fran
cisco, recalls wildly TO mind the killing
of the two of st. Paul's 'bravest' and
FINEST" Daniel O'Connell and Hans
Hanson, and, strange as it may appear,
these are the only st. Paul policemen
who ever met death from other than
natural causes.
O'COnnell was killed by burglars on
the morning of the 18th of June. 1882,
on the ground of T. NJ. Newson. near
the private residence of f. B. Clarke, on
Summit avenue. He was on the force
just one month, and was assigned Fri
day night to duty in the First ward, or
what is now called West Seventh street.
He remained on his beat until a. m,
when he was relieved by Office Palmer,
and started for his humble home on
Marshall avenue. The route was natur-
ally down Fort Street to Seven Corners.
thence up Third street to st. Anthony
Hill, and across the hill to his home
This LED him directly past the place
where he met his death wound.
w IIldlu DlChtl, WHO was UUen col

now the cashier of the Germania bank,

of the Methodist Episcopal church, on
West Third street. He was absent
from his home the night in question,
and the inmates of the house were Mrs.
Bickel, her two sons and two daughters
The dividing line between the house
and the lot adjoining on the west was
stone retaining wall on a level with
the ground of the upper lot.
Bickefs lot was three feet below the
top of the stone wall, and the windows
on the west side extended nearly to the
ground. and consequently were easy of
access from the outside. Mrs. Bickel
occupied bedroom OH the first floor on
the side towards the retaining wall with
the youngest child, while the other chill
dren slept up stairs. About 8 o'clock
of the morning in question, she was
awakened by an unusual rafting noise

THE MURDER OF HANSON.
A Mysterious Crime Which Left
No Clue Behind.

NO Glue b6hInu.
One Of the most mysterious crimes
that ever transpired in st. Paul was the
killing of Police Officer Hans Hanson,
which occurred Aug. 8. 1888. There is
an old adage to the effect that murder
will out, but in this case the adage
seems to have failed, for as yet the per-
petratOrS of the foul crime have es-
capped detection.
Early in the morning spoken of the
residents in the neighborhood of Vir-
ginia and Summit avenues were startled
by the sharp report of pistol. Some
of the people arose and looked from
their windows into the street, but, hear
ing no cries or groanS, concluded that
the shot indicated nothing serious, and
retired to their sleep. The policemen
in that district of the city, however, in
vestigated the affair more thoroughly.
They searched the entire district, and
upon reaching Virginia avenue they
we're astounded to find Hans Hanson,
the officer of the beat, missing. Ser
geant Ketchell and detachment of
full search for the missing officer
Just as the searchers were passing the
residence of Kirby Barnum, who lived
at that time OH Virginia avenue, about
100 feet from Summit, Officer Hester
caught sight or something lying in the
street. The party advanced to the spot,
and were Mortified to find there the
dead body Of Officer Hanson. The Off
Ger, white in death. was lying fiat on
his bacK, with his head in the roadway
and his feet resting on the curbstone,
In his left hand he tightly clutched his
revolver, which was found to be half
apparent under the left eye. His posi-
ton indicated that death had been in
Simultaneous without struggle. The
body, was picked up and the coroner and
Chief Clark instantly notified. These
two officers soon appeared Oh the scene
of the tragedy, and, after viewing the
surroundings, ordered the body to be
removed to the undertakers. Upon
hearing the story that the officer was
found dead with his revolver in
his hand, a great many people
ungenerously cried suicide. But
this theory was quickly dispelled
by the fact that not single
ball had been discharged from the dead
mans revolver. Theories as to the
cause of the murder. as usual, were
numerous, but the one most generally
believed was as follows: For some time
before the murder sneak thieves had
been working the Rondo district.
Within few days of the tragedy the
thieves had been very bold, and had en-
tered number of houses, carrying
away quite an amount of plumber. All
the officers in the district were on the
look out for the miscreants. Mr.. Bar
NUNS residence was unoccupied at the
time, the family beng at the lakes.
The thieves were OH the point of enter
ing the Barnum residence, when they
were seen by Hanson, who was on the
opposite side of the street. Knowing
the thieves were desperate men, Han
son started toward them with drawn re-
volver. Just as the officer stepped onto
the curb from the roadway the thieves

perity was to be found in fixing by the
government the channels in which en-
terprise should run, and the forms in
which ingenuity should be exercised.
AS England, Mr.. Gladstone said in
conclusion, had been true to political
freedom, he hoped that she would be
true to her vocation, so that it might
be recorded that, in establishing the
rights of industry, England, the stand
ard-bearer of nations, had taught them
the safe, just and honorable way to
durable prosperity. Upon leaving the
town hall Mr.. Gladstone received an
ovation from an immense concourse of
people. After lunch Mr.. and Mrs.
Gladstone started for Hawarden, where
they arrived this evening.

then to Chester, and brought the men to
the city.
The prisoners were arrigned in court
the very morning of their arrival in the
city, Judge Wilkin presiding. Asked if
they desired counsel, they said not, and
both pleaded guilty to the charge of
murder. In the afternoon the men were
again brought into court, this time to
receive sentence--a life term in the state
penltentiary. Directly after the SEN
tence the prisoners were hustled into a
carriage and driven hastily to the depot,
where they took the train for Saltwater.
Never in the history of crime had de-
served retriDution and punishment been
more certain and swift. O'Connell was
at last avenged.

penter and contractor, who recently fin

since. Fourteen hundred dollars are
still due on the contract, and this was
attached this morning by Subcontract-

THE LAW Is MIGHTY.
Habeas Corpus May Do What the
Miners Could Not.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 3.-A case
has come before Judge Sneed, OF the
Knox county criminal court, on writ
of habeas corpus, which is an attempt
to do by law what the Briceville
miners recently attempted to do by
violence-preyent conyicts from being
worked in any mines in the state. The
convicts at Briceville are subleased, and
the lawyers for the miners assert this to
be illegal. They induced a white con-
vict sent up for murder to sue for writ
of habeas corpus to test the law. Judge
Sneed has rendered decision, which,
if affirmed by the supreme court, now
in session, will cause all convict, IN
East Tennessee to be removed to the
state penitentiary at Nashville. Law
yers believe that the order of the lower
court will be affirmed.

his speech to other subjects, al
though he formally declared he must
leave everything but the question of
home rule to younger men. proved that
he followed the Swing round" of the
Liberal party. 1t was true that he
claimed Ireland should control the po-
lice force In that country. but
that did not mean the constabu-
larry, which he desired should be
disbanded. Therefore, on that subject
he was in the same position as in 1856
in the county council and police side by
side, while the imperial government
controlled the constabulary. This,
Mr.. Parnell declared, will be a severe
disappointment for the seceders.
