RATIFIED REPUBLICANS
Scheme to Save the Party From
Ettep AunihiIatiOn

Scheme to Save the Party From
Utter Annihiiation.
That the Republican bosses and lead
ers of Minnesota are badly scared over
the political situation in this state goes
without saying. Their fright has been
apparent TO all observers from the DAY
the Alliance state convention named 5.
NJ. Owen for governor. Yesterday, how
ever. this fright took form in meeting
of the Republican state committee with
a special committee appointed by the
state body several weeks ago
to make an endeav0r to re-
vive the now defunct Republican
State league. OF course this special
committee was headed by Tim Byrhes,
who two years ago played a star part
in the league, exercising the duties OF
president, treasurer and disbursing
agent at one and the same time.
Hon. W. E. Lee, Of Long Prairie, the
old treasurer lin name), was consplcu-
Gus by his absence.
The meeting decided to appoint a
committee of 100 of the leading RepHb-
licanS of the state to formulate scheme
for the reorganization OF the league,
and then devoted several hours to dis
cusSion of the situation. The Farmers
Alliance men were right literally be-
rated, and the opinion expressed that
they would hang themselves and their
cause this winter if only given rope
enough. 1t was suggested that they
might coalesce with the Democrats i'll
the next campaign. providing the old
bosses of that party were retired, as
now seems likely. This was laughed
down, and the prophesy made that the
former Republicans now in the Alliance
will return to the old party before 1892.
A number of the members of this COM
mittee of hundred have been named
already, among whom are eX-Gov. John
S. Pillsbury, Loren Fletcher, D. M.
Clough and A. j. Boardman, Of Mime
apolis: Capt. FL. A. Castle, w. j.

FINLEY MUST TESTIFY.
Judge Thomas Orders Him to Con-
suit His Notes and Diyulge,

-
. w. w. Finley, president of the West
ern Passenger association, was before
JudgeThomas, of the United States dis
triet court, yesterday to answer why he
should not give testimony before the
federal grand jury how in session. Mr..
Finley was summoned before the inter
state commerce commission some time
since to testify with reference to trans
actions of the Western Passenger asso-
citation and refused to refresh his
memory while testifying by referring
to notes taken by stenographer at
meetings of the association. When he
appeared before the grand jury day
OF two ago he was still Of the opinion
that it would be violation Of his rights
to be required to so refresh his meni0ryin
testifYing Or to detail the business
transacted by the associatian. 1t was
determined to have the court pass upon
the question and Mr.. Finley appeared
before Judge Thomas as stated, accom-
panied by his attorney. Judge Clark.
District Attorney Hay asked that Mr..
Finley be required to testify with refer
ence to a contract made by the Mime
apolis IL st. Louis raad by which A. Il.
Johnson IL Co., of st. Paul, were to re-
ceiye tor sale Transatlantic tickets at
reduced prices and TO refresh his
memory from stenographic notes taken
at meetings of the passenger association
when the matter OF that contract was
considered. Mr.. Finley'S attorney
argued that he had legal right to re-
fuse to testify as desired, Judge
Thomas ordered Mr.. Finley to testify as
required, but imposed no fine, and Mr..
Finley. now that ruling has been had
upon the subject, will doubtless comply
with the order of the court.

SERIOUS, IF NOT Fatal.
Anthony Kelly, Of Minneapolis
Injured BY a, Runaway.

Anthony Kelly. the wholesale grocer
of Minneapolis, met with an accident in
st. Panl about o'clock yesterday after
noon that came near costing him his
life. He came over from Minneapolis
for the purpose of looking at team of
carriage horses he contemplated buying
from j. p. Mulvehill, the West side liv-
eryman. He was driven over to Mulve-
hill'S stable, on Chicago avenue, in his
brothers carriage. After looking at
the horses in the barn, 1t was suggested
that MIR. Kelly take ride behind them,
SO that he might appreciate the excel
lent worth and spirit of the team. Ac-
c0rdingly the horses were larnesSed
and hitched to light carriage, and
MIR. Kelly, accompanied by James Nor
rison as driver, started out to test their
speed. The animals were unusually
spirited. and Driver Morrison found it
rather difficult to hold them in check.
While they were crossing the railroad
bridge Oh South Robert street the horses
became frightened at all electric car,
and made break for liberty. Morrison,
being unable to hold the steedS under
control, jumped from the carriage, and
escaped with but slight injuries. The
team tore wildly up Robert street, with
Mr.. Kelly in the carriage, making fran
icetfOrtS to regain the reins. But before
he could get the horses under control
the carriage upset in ditch at the COR
ner of South Robert street and Chicago
avenue. and MI. Kelly was thrown vio-
lently against a telegraph pole. The
carriage, of course. was smashed into
splinterS, and the horses were captured.
Mt. Kelly was picked up and taken to
the Ducas street station, where an ex-
animation revealed that his injuries
were very severe and probably fatal.
His right hip was dislocated and both
bones in his right leg below the knee
were broken. One of the bones pro-
truded through the flesh, and the wound
was as ugly as it was painful. The in
jured man was soon removed to
the residence of his brother, Hon. p.
II. Kelly, of 230 Hoffman avenue,
and there he was attended by DR.. c. A.
Wheaton. He was put under the inf1u-
ence OF ether, and then his injuries
were carefully dressed. Dr.. Wheaton
says there are no indications of internal
injuries, and, if none really exist, Mr..
Kelly will recover. The doctor re-
manned at the injured man's bedside
until late last night, and left him rest
ing easy as could be expected under the
circumstances. Mr.. Kelly is fifty-six
years old and all unusually well pre-
served man. His wife and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. J. r. Corrigan and Mrs.
FenelOn Blaine. FASTENED to St. Paul as
soon as they heard of the accident, and
are now at the bedside of the suffering
man.

Believed to Have Been Suf-

OF Jim Jams.
Anthony Kelly Seriously IN

Accident.
A Workman Badly Hurt by a
Fall From a Telegraph
Pole.

1t was mad leap to death that young
Wallace Lethers took yesterday morn.
ing. He jumped from his bedroom
window in the third story of the build
ing at No. Lyons court, and when
picked up was almost lifeless. lie
never regained consciousness and died
ten minutes after he made the fatal
jump. There is scarcely doubt that
Letters committed suicide, although his
friends assert that he fell from the win
dow accidentally. The building at No.
Lyons court is occupied by E. Baker,
who keeps large number of b0arderS
there. Most of the boarders were at
breakfast, when. at 1850 O'Clock, they
were startled by hearing tremendous
crash in the back yard. They all
rushed out into the yard, and there
was found the almost lifeless body Of
their fellOwbOarder, Wallace LetherS,
lying upon the ground. Just above the
spot where Letters laid was seen the
shattered window, and, OF course. the
natural deduction was that the young
man had accidently fallen from the
window. Lethers was carried into the
house, and ten minutes later he died
from the effects of a fractured skull.
Wallace Letters was very we'll
known figure in st. Paul society, and he
was extremely we'll liked for the en-
dearing qualities he possessed. he was
nephew of the famous Gen. Lew
Wallace, of Indianapolis. He came
to st. Paul from Indianapolis,
where his folks reside, little over two
years ago and became engaged in the
claim department of the Chicago, st.
Pail and Kansas City railroad. Later
he was chief clerk in the traffic depart
ment of the st. Paul and Duluth road,
and since last July he has been rate
clerk in the freight office of the North
ern pacific. He was single man,
twenty-seven years OF age.
MI. Letters has but one relative In
st. Paul; cousin named w. NJ. Wal
lace. employed in the United States
engineers Office. Mr.. Wallace was seen
by a GLOBE reporter yesterday and said
he believed his cousin made the fatal
jump while suffering from temporary
insanity. Mr.. Wallace, however, was UNI
able to state any cause for temporary in
sanity, The most plausible theory is that
the suicide was committed in fit of de-
lirium tremens. Young Letters had
been on protraeted spree, and at s
o'clock Thursday night he visited DR..
George L.. Quincy and asked for some
thing to quiet his nerves. He was given
a dose of bromide, and then he went
home and retired about 10 o'clock. 1t
was not the first time DR.. Quincy had
treated the young man. In fact, he was
in the habit of having the doctor brace
him up after his occasional spreeS.
Coroner Quinn did not hold an in
quest over the remains, being satisfied
that it was case of suicide. The re-
mains were dressed at Guthunz & Rock
-stroh's undertaking establishment, and
forwarded to indianapolis for burial

nation. The hospital in st. Paul was
more cheaply conducted than any other
public hospital on this continent. Last
year the doctor and his assistants had
made $500 professional visits.
Mr.. Sanborn-How many beds have
you?

Mr.. Sanborn-How many-9ccupied?
DR.. Ancker-We have patients sleep

Mr.. SanborD explained that he had
been informed that the hospital was
nothing near being filled. and Dr..
Ancker added that they could not at
tempt to take in all the applications
made. there were so many.
Mr.. Bell reported a bill he has
framed, which authorizes the public
examiner to periodically examine the
books in the city treasurers' and comp
trollers' offices in cities of over 100000
inhabitants. This bill is to be brought
before the Hennepin delegation with
the view of obtaining joint action
upon it.

The banks and braes of bonnie Scot
land were we'll represented last evening
at the concert given at the Newmarket
theater by the Royal Edinburgh Con-
cert company, who presented most
unique programme, which was received
by the large audience in most de-
lighted manner. Seldom has a concert
company appeared in ST. Paul more ar
tiStic than the one, which, for three
hours last evening, rendered the songs
SOdear to the hearts of the Scottish clans.
Miss Alice Steel. the beautiful and ac-
comDliShed soprano Of the company,
won all hearts by her sweet rendering
of. '.Robin Adair" and ''Auld Robin
Gray" and in each instance was COM
PEELED to respond with an encore in an
sWer to. the vociferous applause which
greeted the close of her song. Her
voice IS pure soprano of great power
and fleXibility, which the fair singer
uses. to good effect. Miss Steel has
won the highest praise in all cities in
which she has appeared, both in En-
gland and America, and has the great
distinction of being the winner of the
gold. silver and bronze medals awarded
by the Royal Academy of Music of Lon
don.
Miss Edith Ross, the well-known
eontraltO, sang in faultless style
"CalIer Herrin" and 'Will Ye No Come
Back Again?" being compelled to re-
spOnd with encOres in each case. Miss
Ross has q most powerful voice and
ranks as the principal contralto in Eng
land. having taken part in all the ora
tories presented during recent years in

descTibed as the Scotch Sims Reeves,
and his rich tenor voice last evening
proved that the comparison made to the
greatest of living tenOrS was not eXag-
Grated.
p Jules Guitton. the violinist, was heard
to great advantage in selection of
Scotch and Irish melodies, and his iIni-
tation of Scotch bagpipe was perfect.

FRIGHTENED REPUBLICANS.
A Caustic Review of Their Criti-
CisinS on the Sage.

cis1ms on the Sage.
To the Editor of the Globe. -
The Minneapolis Tribune is greatly
concerned lest the Alliance legislators
shall be led astray by Ignatius Donnel-
ly. Owing to the sturdy civic virtues
of Gov. Ives, the Alliance leader who,
as the Tribune says, has led every
cause he has heretofore championed
into ultimate defeat and ruin,' was
compelled to form a horrible combine"
with the democracy. VIII the Tribune
inform its readers how many hard, I'M
complimentary names have been pri-
vately bestowed OH Gov. Ives for not
having accepted Donneily's PROPOSE
ton? Did any one ever hear of any
practical work being done by legisla-
tive body without combination OF
votes? Perhaps ere the close of this
session the Tribune editorial writer may
learn that the object of the Alliance is
not to promote the political fortune of
Senator Donnelly or any other man.
but to secure certain legislation, and
that to accomplish this end all honora-
bic combinations will be made:
Lay ON Macduff! Call Donnelly and
Baker bad names. Let the CALLED
jade vince" remember that in 1862
Donnelly 'championed" the cause of
the Union and the old flag. Did he lead
that cause Into ultimate defeat and
ruin?''
When the Greeks rendered to the be-
leaguered Trojans wooden horse filled
with armed men, Il Shrewd old Trojan
is reported to have said: Il fear che
Greeks, even bearing gifts" Now, the
Alliance men need not fear the Greek
of the Tribune, who comes with his
gift of unsolicited counsel, to depose
their leader in the hour of victory !!
Verify. this Greek must suppose the
farmers of Minnesota to be as simple as
the Welshmen who consented that
their enemy, the English king, should
choose for them a prince, with the
simple reservation that he be native
Welshman. Perhaps the Tribune creek
can find trustworthy mOnop0list to the
manor born to relieve Senator Donnelly.
