THE CASE OF ROSE.
A Last Argument for His Life Be
fore the Sunreme Court.

A Last Argument for His Life Be-
fore the Supreme Court.
The caee of William Rose charged
with the murder of Moses Lufkin in
August, 1888, was argued before the
supreme court yesterday. w. W. Erwin
appeared for the appellant, and Assist
ant Attorney General Childs for the
state. The history of the crime for
which Rose is likely to suffer the ex-
treme penalty of law bears mauy
points of similarity to that of
Clifton Holden, who is under SEN
tence to hang on May s. Lufkin
was staying with the family of E. E.
Slower, in Redwood county. He was a
former school teacher, and Roses
daughter went to his school in 1878. dur
ing which time it is said the pupil and
teacher were criminally intimate. On
the day of the murder. Sugkin was
lying on a sofa near an open window of
the Slower residence. A shot fired
through the open window pierced the
school teachers body. He died shortly
after. Slower ran to the window, and
saw a man whom he believed to be
Rose running into clump of trees.
Later Slower and others visited the Rose
farm and found buckSkin colored pony
pic keted there. The animal had pc
culiarly shaped hoof. The prints of the
hoofs corresponded exactly with those
traced from the scene of the shooting.
Rose was arrested and tried. Two juries
disagreed, and the third found verdict
of murder in the first degree. The APP
peal from the decision refusing a new
trial is based on an alleged error in the
charge of Judge Webber to the jury.
The evidence against Rose is entirely
Gil cumStantial, but very strong.

An Entertaining and Instructive
IIpcfure al IInifV Church

An Entertaining and Instructive
Lecture at Unity Church.
Rev. S. NJ. Crothers' lecture last even
ing at Unity church on Cervantes was
Just such an one as is entertaining to an
Intelligent audience. The address was
prefaced with an interesting sketch of
the contemporaneouS period and its lit
terateurs and with a comparative esti-
mate of the literary merit of the writers
of the mid-siXteenth century.
A pleasant contrast of the fallacieS of
Cervantes with Shakespeare was drawn
in humorous vein. He said that the
time of CervanteS was the golden age
for literature in Spain as well. as in
England. He spoke of the voluminous
writings Of Cervantes as showing him
to be the prodigy of nations. The au-
thorship of 2,2O0 dramas was ascribed
to him, and to write them would have
occupied all of his mature life at the
rate of a drama of 1900 lines per day.
Besides this he had taken time for SOL
diering and various other engage
ments, such as fighting duels, acquiring
titles and writing novels. Shakespeare
was a writer of tragedies, but Ger
vantes would take the subject for
twenty tragedies and produce a comedy.
His captivity i'll AlgierS for five years
and his ransom for 500 ducatS was al
luded to. The principal work of
Cervantes, ''Don QuiXote," was dwelt
upon at length. This was written after
his return from captivity. The mac
curacies in this work and the good pur-
pose 1t was written to serve were eX-
emplifieu with witty illusions to poll
ticians and men of very recent date.
AlluSionS to the characters in the
book were made the occasion for
variegated pleasantries. In alluding to
the lengthy name of the wife of Cerv-
anteS, MIR. Crothers said that it was as
cumbersome as the names of the Puri-
tanS. who often gave their children
names that included text from the
Bible or an extract from a sermon, and
instanced the name of Diebold, who had
an additional cognomen, the initials of
which were |. L. l.. Ii. n. ID. f. T. T..
H. B. Dali of which stood for IF the
Lord had not died for thee thou hadst
been damned Diebold."
The work of Cervantes up to the day
of his death from an incurable disease.
and the jocular way in which he spoke
of prospective dissolution, were referred
to. He characterized the chivalry of
Don Quixote as being genuine. In
speaking of CervanteS he said that he
took mans delusions and treated them
in humorous vein, but that he often
mixed his ideal and his facts. The
audience expressed keen appreciation
of the lecture and enjoyed it tor its
novel features as we'll as for its merit.

TRAVEL is TREMENDOUS.
And the Electric Facilities Will
Be Doubled.

Be Doubled.
The tremendous amount of travel on
the lnterurban Twin City electric line
has neeesSitated an increase of its roll
ing stock by the city railway company
to an extent which it certainly did not
expect to find necessary for several
years yet The traffic on SUNDAY last
demonstrated to the public mind that
although the thirty-horSe power motors
now being run were running in sight of
each other, the accommodations were
but too evidently inadequate. Every
car was crowded with people, standing
up and packed in like SardineS. The com
pany recognized the situation long be-
fore it became apparent to the public.
The result is that fifty-horse power
motors are shortly to replace the
thlrtles, and trailer Will be run after
each of the new cars. On pleasant Sun
days and holidays it has been found i'm
possible to furnish cars enough to ac-
commodate everybody because so many
people want to ride at the same time.
1hlS Will be special advantage of the
new motors, as they can be relied upon
to draw three trailers, doubling the
capacity of the trains now run
ming. Another new feature which
the experience of the street car
people has suggested is to use the
summer cars exclusively as traiIers. 1t
mad been found advantageous to have at
least one car on train into which peo-
pie can go when it rains. Besides. some
people prefer to ride in the regular ars
rather than on the open ones. Another
reason for this determination is the
necessity for protecting the electric
motors from moisture. Open cars are
likely to admit the rain, and this means
the ruin of the electric apparatus.
The interurbaa line station, bids for
which are now being received, will be
completed by June l. 1t will be situ-
ated beside the Minnesota Transfer and
VIII have capacity of 100 cars.

Rose Argues for His Last
Chance Before the Supreme
Court.
An Artistic Lecture Upon the
Genius Of Spanish Ger
VanteS.

The board of trustees of the Mime
sofa Hospitals for the insane held spe-
cial meeting in Room Is of the Mer.
chants last evening, with nearly every
member of the board present. The
meeting was held to talk over plans for
the new buildings and repairs author
lied by the Legislature which has just
adjourned. Those present were: Hon.
A. Barto. president, of Sauk Center;
Judge NJ. r. Tyler, of st. Paul; Maj. A.
L. Sackett, and John Peterson. the
successor of William Schlmmel. of st.
Peter; Hon. A. L. Stebbins, of Roches-
ter. In addition to these members of
the board DR.. n. P. Williamson, of Fer
Peter, and Architect W. B. Dunnell, of
Minneapolis, were also present.
Before taking up the subject for
which the meeting was called the board
reelected Mr.. Dunnell as architect for
the term of two years. The plans for
the completion of the unfinished build
ingS at Fergus Falls were discussed,
and it was determined to at once adver-
tiSe for bids for putting in a steam
plant and completing the kitchen at
Fergus Falls, and for the reconstruction
OF ward at Rochester. A few repairs
will also be ordered at st. Peter. While
the appropriation of $4,000 for new
buildings at Fergus Falls will not be
available for year 1t was decided that
the board should go on and advertise for
bids for the completion of the MAN
building, the shops, and everything up
to the administration building, with the
provision that the bills shall be payable
at the time the appropriation becomes
available.
After settling these matters as far as
possible all other business was put over
until the regular meeting. which is set
down for the 9th of next month, and
Gov. Barto started the ball rolling by
telling several highly amusing stores.
Judge Tyler followed him in one that
made the Sauk Center statesman laugh
so heartily that the Jackson street side
OF the hotel sank nearly two inches.
Maj. Sackett and eX-Representative
Stebbins also came to the front and
helped initiate the new member of the
board, Mr.. Peterson. 1t was nearly IL
o'clock when the meeting adjourned to
meet again a week from TODAY

Ahern Caught by His Honor's
Youthful Appearance Court
Notes.
A surprise was in store for the officers
of the municipal court Yesterday, when
a strange-looking gentleman entered the
room and aScended the bench where
Judge Cory was booked to appear
Slim Jim Ahern made a rush for the
stranger and demanded how he dare in
wade the justice seat, but was nom
pluSsed when he recognized the familiar
voice of Judge Cory. Jim opened his
eyes, and it dawned upon him that the
Judge, with the advent of the warm
weather. had had his beard removed.
The docket did not contain any very
important cases.
Charles Nelson and John Vande-
walker were charged with stealing a
pocketbook from Miss Inga Nilsson on
Olive street last Saturday. The evil
dence was very clear, one of the pris-
oners admitting his guilt. Both were
held to the grand jury in the sum of
$500 each.
Andrew Jackson and John Leonard,
two saloonkeepers at Merriam Park,
and Andrew Wilder, of West ST. Paul,
were charged with running '.blind
pigs" The Merriam Park men pleaded
guilty and we're fined Sl0O each. Wilder
bad his case continued until tomorrow.
A warrant was issued for the arrest
of Edward Keogh for violating the
militia laws by not paying his dues.
Andrew WaeIund, driver for the
North Star Brewing company, was
charged with having sold beer in small
quantities from his wagon, without a
license. He was released ON S1O0 bail

Hopes That the Insurance ImbrOg-
lilo May Be Adjusted.
, State Insurance Commissioner Smith
raid yesterday in regard to the action of
Commissioner Pierce, of New York, in
refusing to reinstate the st. Paul Ger
nan Insurance company in that state,
.hat he was not satisfied as yet that dip
Iomatic negotiations were at an end.
The letter he received in reply to his
telegram is in effect a refusal to rein
state the company and an invitation to
the commissioner of Minnesota to go
ahead and cancel all the New York
companies he wants to, provided they
are not operated i'll accordance with the
laws of the state. The exact language
is as follows:
will not presume to offer any suggestions
As to your official action regarding companies
of this state transactlng business IN MIME
sota, as you will no doubt be guided on this
question by the laws of your state. IL any
New York company doing business i'll your
state fails to comply with your laws, noifault
will be found in this quarter with any meas
ares YOU may take to enforce such compliance
fhe certificate of authority issued to the St
Paul German insurance company was re-
yoked because of its noncompliance with
The laws of this state.
In regard to the securities of the com
pany. the letter goes on to say
With reference TO the mortgage of the
North ST. Paul property. you are in error in
stating that ii covers 800 plotted lots, with
building improvements worth 5000, ,000 insured
for $4,000. The fact is there are no build
ings on any of the lois covered by the North
St Paul mortgage. In your telegram you
make no reference TO the South st. Paul and
West ST. Paul mortgages of S1O0C00. l have
been recently informed that you have mott
fed the insurance company that you did not
consider these mortgages as sufficient seclr-
itv for the amount loaned thereon. A gen
teman thoroughly familiar with the prop
erty covered by these South and West St
Paul mortgages. and who acts for large
financial institution III making loans on ST
Paul property. informed me that he would
not even entertain an application for loan
thereon.
Investigation proves that the New
York official is entirely at sea in his
ideas regarding the North st. Paul
mortgage. The statements made by Com
missioner Smith in his dispatch are alb
solutely indisputable; and the facts well
established.
That gentleman says that every peace
fui method will be reSOrted to in the
effort to settle this matter without a
declaration OF war. In the event of the
ultimate refusal of Commissioner Pierce
to reinstate the st. Paul company, the
next move will be to discover
just how weak the New York
companies doing business in the
state are. A second letter was sent to
New York yesterday. In it he ex-
planned the points relative to the mort
cages and property covered thereby,
upon which Commissioner Pierce is in
error. Hon. Albert Scheffer, Attorney
General CIapp and several others inter
ested in the result met at the capitol
yesterday afternoon, but no course Of
action was decided.

scrap Between Women

A lad rushed into the central police
station yesterday afternoon and, in an
excited manner, stated that woman
had been shot at Third and Washington
streets: When the patrol wagon dashed
up to the spot it was found that all the
damage done was the removal of sew
eral handfuls of hair and lacerated
faces, owing to Mrs Mullen and her
laRdlady, Mrs. Kuntze, indulging in
scrap because the former desired to
move her belongings without paying
her rent
