Alexander Schoenig Fatally
Stabbed in an ARRAY on
the West Side.

His Cousins, Charged With
the Cutting.

Acquittal in the Abdue-

Treatment.

A serious stabbing affray took place
last evening on the West side, which
will probably terminate fatally.
From the Investigations made by the
police officers, it appears that Alexan-
der Schoenig. aged twenty-eight, la
borer living with his parents at 419 Liv-
lngSton avenue. was proceeding to his
home after finishing his days work,
when, at the corner of Livingston ave-
nue. and DelOs street, he was met by his
cousins, William and Frank Schoe-
mig, laboring men, who reside
at the location above mentioned.
For some time past there has been Ill
feeling between the three men, and
when they came face to face last even
ing affairs came to crisis. When they
met an argument was started, and the
lie was passed. Without any provoca-
ton whatever William Scloenig
knocked Alexander. his cousin, to the
earth with powerful blow of his fist
and while the man lay on the ground
Frank Schoenig drew heavy clasp
knife from his pocket, and stabbed
Alexander SchOenig i'll the right
breast. The ARRAY occurred in
front of the house where the
assailants lived, aud they at once
ran indoors. The wounded man stag
gered to his home half block away,
and fell PROSTATE at the door. The po-
lice we're at once notified, and officers
lmhotf, Kafka and Lauderdale were
soon on the spot. Dir. Hawkins, of the
west side, was in speedy attendance,
and was soon followed by Assistant City
Physician CogSwell. They examined the
wounded man, and found that the knife
bad inflicted wound an inch wide and
five inches deep, Severing two arteries
and penetrating the lung. There was
very little external bleeding, and the
doctors pronounced the wound as q
probably fatal one, there being great
danger of death through internal
hemorrhage. Schoenig was able to give
the police the names of his as
sallants, and in few minutes
they were under arrest, and brought to
the wounded mans bedside. He pos
ltlyely identified them, and pointed out
FRANK Schoenig as the one who stabbed
him. They were conveyed to Ducas
street station and locked up, the charge
against them being assault with
dangerous weapon" Both men
protested their innocence, and said
they did not see their cousin during the
evening until taken to his bedside. The
knife with which the stabbing was done
could not be found by the police, though
careful search was made where the as
sault occurred and III the house of the
accused men. At an early hour this
morning the Injured man, who could
|. not be removed to the hospital, was re-
ported by the police to be in critical
condition.

THE BIBLE INSPIRED.
DR.. Hastings Says It's Divine
Source Stands Through the
Ages

DR.. Hastings Says It's Divine
Source Stands Through the
Ages.
Rev. DR.. Hastings, of Boston, Iectured
at the Central Presbyterian church last
evening on the 'Inspiration of the
Bible" His remarks were confined
principally to ridicuiing the criticisms
of skeptics OH the truth of the
Bible and its divine inspira-
ton. He spoke of many people who
would admit the Bible twas a good
book" but doubted its authenticity. He
reviewed many works of infidels on the
subject OF Christianity and related
many amusing anecdotes of Ignorant
people" who scarcely ever read the
Bible, but who were quite willing to
criticize it. He thought that the
Bible was not understood by
many. from the fact that people
did not read it as it should
be read-'.not now and then and here
and there" He SAID that there was not
another book in the world like the
Bible. The Bible is book which has
been refuted, demolished and exploded
more than any other book ever heard
of. Every little while some one upsets
this book, and it is like upsetting a solid
block of stone; when you have upset it,
1t is right side up, and when you have
upset 1t again it is right side up again."

RAISES A FINE POINT.
State Prison "Lifers" and the r,
fOrinatory LoOD-HOle.

State Prison "Lifers" and the Re-
forlnatory Loop-Hole.
A joint meeting of state prison mana
gers and state reformatory managers
was held yesterday morning at the
capitol. The prison managers present
were: Edwin Dunn. Eyota: NJ. O..
Hall, Duluth; j. S. O'Brien, Still
water; j.. f. Norrish, Hastings; J. w.
Temple, Blue Earth City. Managers of
the state decentralization Cooper,
st. Cloud; II. S. Griswold and F. G.
Pillsbury, of Minneapolis. Warden
Garvin, of the state prison, and Supt.
Myers, OF the state reformatory, were
also on hand. The object OF the meet
ing was to discuss regulations to gov
ern the transference of prisoners from
the prison 10 the refOrmatory. The
law specifies that proper regulations
shall be drafted for the transference
OF convicts. and up to the present
no permanent regulations have been
agreed upon. Temporary regulations
were brought into play when seventy
five conylctS were transferred at the
opening of the reformatory. There was
not d quorum of the managers of the
refOrmatory present and no definite &C
ton could be taken. The meeting was
subsequently auJOuFHeu TOT week, ana

said to be James Beaver, the st. Cloud
wife murderer. This man pleaded guilty
to killing his wife and was sentenced to
Imprisonment for life. he has served
fourteen years. His prison record is
perfect and he is in line for a trans
fer. There is considerable objection
to this man being removed from
the state prison, and some have
raised the question whether man, sem
fenced to Imprisonment for life. can be
transferred to the state reforInatory
and ultimately released? This Is point
which the prison managers and reform
atpry managers have referred to the at
torney general for an opinion. and it is
one OF vital Importance. What is the
use of sentencing murderer to life i'm
prlsonmeEt, and committing his execu-
ton to life imprisonment, if. under the
laws OF the state, by good conduct in
prison. the man can virtually open the
doors OF his cell at the end of fourteen
years? Ii is said there are other cases

its language" In days of old it was the
habit to elicit truth from witnesses by
torture. and the lecturer referred to the
habit of ''torturing poets words to get
at their meaning"
"The mlssiou cf the poet" he said,
sis to create for us an ideal world and
fill it with ideal beings. He who would
enter must take counsel of his imagina-
ton, not his reason. One of the condi-
tons to the enjoyment of poetry is alb
solute leisure.' Mr.. Crothers spoke of
the absence of a desire to know what is
coming next as condition to the right
appreciation of poetry. ''In prose-" he
said, zone always wants to know what
isito happen next, unless he is reading
Howeils, and even then he is

the hope that somebody is about
to say something very clever" There
is no necessity of rushing through
poems, doing poet as Cooks tourist
does Europe. Mr. Crothers character
lied the various schools OF. poetry
broadly. and urged the Importance of
Introducing children early to the best
literature. His quotations from the va
rIDus poets were apt and well given,
and he closed with glowing tribute to
the high function of poetry. The re-

AN IMPORTANT ERA.

The conferences now being held in
this city by the grievance committees
of the order of Railway Trainmen and
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men on the Northern Pacific road, gives
color to the rumor that something's
up" Certainly the men are not here
for nothing. Grievance committees
do not meet for nothing, especially
when they come hundreds of miles.
From reliable sources comes a report
that they are here to demand an in
crease Ill wages. 1t will be remembered
that the engineers of this same system
met here some weeks ago, and made
the same demands on the company,
which were not aeceded to. As one of the
officials remarked at the time to the en-
gineers, ''Why, you ought to be satisfied.
In few years from now we will be able
to hire an engineer for Sl.50 day. The
present locomotive will be thing of
the past when the new Edison motor is
completed" The firemen have been in
session since last Saturday and have had
interviews with the officials. The chair

referred 10 the committee on streets.
A communication was read from Wal
ter lie and others making an offer TO
rent the market house for forty years at
rental of $1,000 per year. and to spend
the sum OF $4,000 upon altering and
improving the building. The matter
was referred to the committee on public
buildings.
A resolution that. the contract of the
st. Paul Sanitation company for collect

On the recommendation of tile COM
mittee OH streets the assembly ordered
the city engineer to tear down certain
portions of the ruins of the Davidson
grain elevator which are in dangerous
condition. and to fence in that portion
of the levee upon which the elevator is
situated, and to hold possession of the
same on behalf OF the city. City
Comptroller POnthan returned the reso-
lutions passed recently by the council
that the sum of $50 be paid to Mrs. Young
out of the school fund, in payment of
her claim against c. j. Casselle, con-
tractor, he having authorized the paw
ment. The comptroller says that the
resolution is not legal. and he refuses o
audit the claim, because the name
"Mrs. Young" is indefinite. and her
claim is against the contractor, whose
claims have not yet been allowed by the
council. The matter was sent to the
committee on claims. The city attorney
and city engineer, in a communication,
gave their opinion that the city was not
liable for dsInage sustained by Robert
McMenemy to his celery beds on the
night of the storm on Aug. 20. II
committee on streets recommended that
SITS be paid to =. j. Dreis for damage
sustained to his premises, also on the
night of the storm. but the assembly
did not approve the report of the COM
mittee.
The board of public works reported
that.owing to the United States govern

proaches. The board requested that all
proceedings in the matter be ;tnuulled
and new preliminary orders be passed.
The assembly concurred in the report,
and passed new preliminary orders.
The Union Depot company asked that
permission be granted to erect frame
baggage shed at the foot of Wacouta

HOW TO ENJOY POETRY.
An Instructive Talk by the Pastor
of Unity Church.

VI unity OnufCn.
The talk given by Rev. Mr.. Crothers
at Unity church last evening on "How
to Enjoy Poetry" was the witty, poeti-
cal and entertaining lecture Mr.. Croth-
ers' former discourses would lead one to
expect. 1t displayed very broad and
comprehensive knowledge of English
poetry, as we'll as distinctly individual
way of considering them. Mr. Crothers,
in enumerating the errors people
make liz studying a poem, gave a
very amusing list of questions on
history. astronomy, mythology. arche-
ology and geography suggested by Sc
lection from Paradise Lost" He dep
recated the custom of studying a poem
as if it was an extract from an encycio-
pedia. He scored in witty way the
students of poesy who take it for granted
that in every apparently simple line
there is some subtle hidden meaning:
people who consider that things In
poems are not what they seem, and that
the poet never by any chance means
what he says. "To such people, said
Mr.. Crothers, 1.-THE interest in a poem is

Carlyle hotel under the circumstances
might be considered against them. He
also stated that the testimony of the
defendants showed that there was at
least an indecent proposal made to the
child by Watson. The court expressed
the view that the testimony of the de-.
PENDANTS did not differ in the main
points from the story told by Grace and
took the view that. whilst the story of
child was not sufficient without corrob-
Grafton, yet it had been corroborated by
other Witnesses, and, in addition, by
the statements of the defendants. The
court stated that. at the request of the
defense, he would instruct the jury
that the fact that Watson surrendered
himself voluntarily was an evidence of
innocence. The jury was Informed that
1t was the sole judge of the facts. and it
was for them to find all or any of the
defendants guilty or not guilty, as their
Judgment dictated.
