ASSAULTED 4 CHILD.
Edwin Stoyer. OF the Lyceum, Ar

Edwin Stoyer, OF tae Lyceum, Ar
rested on Il Serious Charge.
Detective y. W. King visited the
stage at the Lyceum yesterday after
noon. He took part in little play not
a part of "Oliyette," and not in full
view of the audience. He arrested Ed
win Slower for criminal assault and
locked him up. The assault. according
to the complaint. was committed on
Nellie Boyee, a little girl about twelve
years Of age.
Slower is 4 man Of twenty-five or
Whereabouts. He is employed as stage
manager of the Lyceum. not Of the Will
bur Opera company. His father is SIM
ilarly employed at the Grand. The little
girl is the daughter of \. d. Bovee, a
paperhanger, who lives at 627 Nlcollet
avenue.
The alleged assault occurred Tuesday
afternoon. According to the little girls
story, Slower enticed her into one of the
lower boxes, near the stage. He in
duced her 70 90 along With him by
promising to buy her a doll. Before he
had succeeded in his object they were
detected by some OF the employees of the
house.
DIR. Gibson, police surgeon, examined
the girl yesterday. While she had not
been seriously injured, he found, as he
believes. indubitable evidence of the as

never divorced from his first wife.
Agnes Carr. whom he married twelve
years ago in Lake City. She is the
woman whose mysterious disappearance
is now nnder consideration by the po-
lice. The positive assurance that no di-
vorce Was ever granted was received
from Wabasha county yesterday. Potter
is bigamist, probably not intention
ally, but a bgamist nevertheless.
He supposed that he had been
divorced from his wife Agnes. His
reason for so thinking was that he re-
ceiyed letter from Lake City some
eight years ago that divorce would be
granted should he make no contest. He
never objected. and supposed that the
divorce had been issued. Just what will
be done is not settled. Of course, Pot
Ter. not beng legally married to the
second Mis-. Potter, cannot continue to
live with her as her husband. he will
not live again with his first wife, and
the latter will probably not consent to a
divorce. 1t is not believed Potter will
be arrested, for the police say he will
have no difficulty in proving that he has
acted without wrong intent. They say
further that it is not likely any jury. in
the face OF the facts, would consent TO
convict him, even if the case were some
what in doubt.

EVA COMES HIGH.
She Will Settle With the HamiI-
tons for S75.GO0.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 19.-Mrs.
Eva Mann, otherwise Mrs. Eva Ray
Hamilton, who has been stopping with
friends in CarbOndale fer few weeks
past. left there this morning. She has
gone to the home OF her father. William
Steele, who resides in Dallas. small
town nine miles from here, and where
there are no newspaper men nor curl
Gus people WHO have never seen her
to make her life burden. TO an Asso-
ciated Press reporter on the train she
said she desired rest and did not care to
have her movements reported through
out the world every day. especially
when so many exaggerated stories were
being told concerning her. She said
her husbands estate has an annual in
come of $4,000, and by right one-third
of that belonged to her, but that her
husbands relatives refused to recognize
her claim to any part of the estate.
She further added that. however in
consistent it may seem with their denial.
they have offered her $4,000 IN settle
ment of her claim upon the Hamilton
estate. Upon the advice of her attorney
she refused to accept that amount, and
will not settle for less than S75,000.

A Workhouse Scandal Involv-

On the Tapis.
Chief Runge Is Getting Tired
OF Being Roasted Indis-
cPiminately.
William POlhamUS Seems to
Have Eloped With Lis
Mothers Consent.
A Serious Charge Against the
Stage Manager Of the
Lyeeum Theater.

The workhouse and its management
has been brought into undue prom
inence again, greater prominence than
Is agreeable TO Supt. John West. Two
more prisoners have dropped out Of
sight. The question is where they have
gone. This new subject of inveStiga-
ton came Out yesterday morning, Peter
Anderson and Frank Smith some time
ago were sent TO the WorkhouSe, and
Wednesday night two municipal court
officers went to tie workhouse to see
them on business for the police depart
ment. 10, and behold. the men were
missing. They were regularly con-
Victed and sentenced, ana the signature
of the WOrkhOuSe keeper shows that
they were received by him at the cen
tral station. As the time for which they
were sent up has not expired, the ques-
ton arises. where are they and how did
they secure Il release from custody.
1he superintendent of police and the
mayor are at work trying 10 solve this
mystery. superintendent West was
brought down from the work house
yesterday afternoon, and Henry Alt
now, clerk OF the municipal court, was
also summoned. They went over the
records carefully, but refuse to say how
their investigation resulted. There is
evidently loose brick somewhere in
the wall supposed to hedge prisoners.
How can men get away in this manner?
The man who drives the Black Maria
receipted for these two prisoners at the
central station. IT they were not
III his custody when he reached
the WOrkh0use, it seems that their alb
sence would lave been discovered then.
All The prisoners are taken from the
van and registered at the workhouse be-
fore being locked up. When d load is
TWO short, how do the absences escape
notice? There is 4 loophole somewhere
that needs stopping.
There will doubtless be one result of
this case and the Schwab atfar-some
cheek system viii be adopted which
viii preclude the recurrence of these
errors. These two cases have been dis
covered accidentally. Who knows how
many prisoners have escaped similarly.

FRANCHISES IN DANGER.
Chicago Gas Companies in Hot
Water

CHICAGO, March 19.-The papers in
The quo warranto proceedings to be in
stltuted against the gas trust in the
name of the attorney general of the
state have been finished by the assist
ant corporation counsel and sent to
Springfield for the signature of the at
torney general. 1t is expected that they
will be returned i'll three days. and the
action will begin early next week. A
separate statement has been made out
against each member of the so-called
Chicago Gas company. the Equitable.
the Consumers, the Peoples and the
Gas Light and Coke company. 1t is set
forth that the charters of these compa-
MES ard their franchises were so drawn
as to prohibit the increase of their CAPT
tai stocks above the sum Of S5,00O,O1o,
but that for the sake of unjuStly and
arbitrarily controlling prices aud pre-
venting healthful competition they
have violated the letter and spirit of the
ordinances under which they are oper-
ating, and they are to be required to
show cause why they should not be de-
prived of these franchises. Great care
has been exercised in the preDar alton
of the papers in the case, and it will be
vigorously fought.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

A correspondent CT the New England
Homestead says: Here is a simple
method for milking a kicking cow with
out pain to her Or yourself. A cow can
not kick unless she can raise her back a
little. Put her in narrow stall, make
holes in the sides on a level with her
back, and put Il stick through so that it
will rest just above her back and come
q trit1e forward of her hips. Then when
she goes to kick. her back Will touch
this and thus prevent her. If the cows
are in StanchiOnS, frame may be
fastened over them SO that the bottom
of it will swing clear of their back. Put
this on hinges and pull up out of the
way when not in USE"
}. w. Newton says in an exchange:
at is not to be expected that the man
whose stable lets in the light through
the cracks, and whose cattle never taste
grain, will concern himself to warm
water for his stock. but this is evidently
what every progressive farmer is coming
to. Think of a COW standing IN dark,
cold stable where the manure is frozen
solid on the stable floor, and plastered
upon the cows sides: and then think of
her turned out in the wind and SNOW TO
drink ice water and 20 back chilled and
SnlVcflng 10 the stable, OR, what Is worse.
left TO stand in the cold wind for hours.
Winter dairying would not pay with
cows treated thus. nor does it pay in any
point of view to use any kind of stock
in such way. Yet hundreds of
farmers do nearly or quite as badly or
even worse. But such methods cause
terrible waste. Probably it would not
cost more than One-half or two thirds as
much to keep q cow in q warm we'll
lighted, Well-ventilatei stable. with a
supply of bedding and plenty of warm
water to drink, and turned out only
when it is warm, or else turned out in a
covered yard, as 1t would to keep her in
the way described above. The saving
in dollars and cents would, in one win
ter, more than pay the extra cost of
making the stable warm. and after it
was once arranged it would be perma-
nent, while the cost OF bedding and
warm water would be small.

The Veto Eiied.

The mayor settled the fate Of the
curbing resolution yesterday by of1ic
tally notifying the city clerk that the
resolution had been vetoed. 1t will
probably be passed over the veto. 1t re-
Quires a two-thrds vote of the whole
council to overcome the veto. This
means eighteen votes. InaSmuch as
sixteen aldermen voted for the resolu
ton last Friday and there were two alb
sent, one of whom would have probably
voted for it. 1t is not unlikely that the
veto may not be effective.

The Johnson Collection of Paint
inSs.

The paintings corresponding to the
first seventy-five numbers of the cata-
logue, the johnson collection of high
class paintings by modern European
masters, which have been on private eX-
hiDition at 321 Nicollet avenue, were
last night offered for public competition.
The bidding was quite spirited in some
instances, but none of the offers made
sufficiently approached the value Of the
pictures to justify Mr.. Johnson in ac-
cepting them. In some cases the bids
were actually lower than the cost of the
frames and the custom house duty.
Tonight at O'Clock $50 of the pictures
will be offered, and it is 10 be hoped that
for the reputation of Minneapolis peo-
pie as patrons of art. that some of the
splendid pictures may be sold here.

THAT FORGERY MATTER.
Frank p. Norris Is In For 1t Once
More.

Edward f. Webster has brought suit
against Frank u. Norris and his bonds
men, Charles L. Norris, James p. Reamy
and William H. Norris, to secure HIM
as notary. The action grows out of
suit brought some time ago to collect
on a note secured by a mortgage, which
it was decided in The suit Norris had
forged. The present action is brought
by the man who loaned the money on
the security against the $4,000 bond. to
recover S20l which is claimed as dam
ages Oh account of the fraudulent act
Of Norris. The nOtarial seal was put on
by Norris without any authority, as
witnessing the fee act and deed of Sarah
F. Reamy and James p. Reamy. Norris
is said TO be inSolvent, and personally
worthless. Tie action will be watched
with some little interest.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 19.-Judge
Toney rendered long decision in the
famous Baroness Fahnenberg case this
morning in the law and equity court.
The opinion was comprehensive and
learned treatise on the law applicable
to the endowment of charities. The de-
cision upholds the will and settles the
historic controversy. The baroness, a
native of st. Louis, died in Paris In
1885. She left will devising large
land estate in America for the estab-
lishment of charitable institution at

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Republican politicians who are
so frantically opposing the new city
charter should make up their minds that
they must abide by the results of last
election. The Democratic majority of
6,2OO last fall meant something, and
among other things, the renodling of Il
charter which was constructed for
village, and with which fault has al
ways been found. Their idea Of hole
ing the election over again TO see if they
can't win this time, is 4 proposition
which is little nervy for even such
carpet-bag statesmen as John Day
Smith to make.
