FOUND IN THE LAKE.
Mrs. George w. Camp Committed
Suicide by Drowning.

Mrs. Camp has committed suicide.
That was the sentence passed from
lip to lip at the Hotel Lafayette yester-
day morning. passed fran cottage to
cottage around the lake and brought
into the city by the first train. 1t was
all too true. At o'clock Yesterday
morning the lifeless body was discOv-
cred resting on the calm breast of Min
netOpka. cold in death.
Maj. George w. Camp arose a little
before z o'clock and went to his wires
room. She was not there. The pillows
had been arranged between the covers
to give the bed the appearance of con-
tanning a sleeper, but it was tenantleSs.
In alarm he aroused the family and
search was begun. They had not far
to look. The body of whom they sought
was found close beside the steamboat
landing. She had been dead several
hours. The suicidal act had been care
fully planned. 1t seems that on more
than one occasion during the last week
Mrs. Camp, while out driving, had in
quired of the cOachman concerning the
depth of the water at various points on
the lake shore. She had also taken pre-
cautions against the possibility of her
clothing supporting her body in the
water. Around her waist was tied
little bag in which had been placed
some weights taken from the family
StOrerOOm.
This abrupt departure from the scenes
of earth was aetuated by mind dis
eased. For several years Mrs. Camp
has suffered from nervous disorganiZa-
ton. On that account her husband has
taken her to California every winter.
Last spring her condition had become
so serious that she wss removed to the
sanitarium at Hudson, Wis. There she
improved rapidly, SO much that she
was brought home a few weeks ago.
Ever since she has been unusually
cheerful. She seemed in such good
spirits Of late that her husband thought
she was entirely recovered. 1t was
rude awakening that he experienced
yesterday morning. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow at WayZata at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. The body will
then be brought TO Minneapolis for in
terment in Lakewood.
Mrs. Camp was the daughter of Noah
Draper. of FredOnia, Chautauqua coun-
ty, n. Y. The major married her there
April II, 1858, coming to Minneapolis
directly after the wedding tour. They
had four children. but only one of them
is living, and now is the wife of Henry
Won Weddlestaedt, of st. Paul.

John s. Grist and Miss Grace Burhaus

They nave loved each other long and
ardently. Miss Burhaus' mamma OBJ
5ected to the young man. The lovers
were not able to make love in the OrthO-
dOX way, in the parton of the young
lady, so they enlisted the aid of Uncle
Sam. Young Grist sent letters to the
young lady to the pOStOffice, where they
were called for under an assumed
name. This style OF cOurtship was con-
tinued. with success it seems. for two
years. But the lovers grew tired Of
whispering their tales of love through
a cold. unfeeling mail box. They re-
solved to act. The young lady and her
Watchful mamma have been stopping
at MinnetOnka. Last Wednesday Miss
Grace left her mother, Ostensibly to visit
a friend at MinnetOnka beach. Instead
she came directly to the city, was met
by the idol of her heart. and they were
quietly made one without maternal in
reference by Rev. Mr.. Wilcox. When
mamma heard OF it she was angry, SO it
is said. but that makes little difference

Judge LOchTen gave the plaintiff iudg-
ment for $50 on the claim of one man.
and dismissed the cases a against the
Individual defendants. There was no
fraud. he found, but the sale had been
conducted in an Illegal manner, and
was, therefore. void. All but one of
the plaintiffs, however, accepted the
money realized from the sale, and by so
doing sanctioned it.

refined the summer resort business down
until il is an art. They not only want
the summer visitors 10 support them all
the year round. but TO contribute to the
support Of their governmental institu-
tiOns. Within a few days several gen
tlemen who have been spending the
warm season at MaplewOOd have been
approached by the tax collector, who
has demanded that they Immediately
pay $3.50 per head as poll tax or work it
out on the road. Naturally they re-
fused. Then they were arrested and
taken before Justice of the Peace Freer,
of MinnetOnka Mills. This second Dan
lei decided that they must not only pay
the poll tax of $3.50 per head. but must
pay a fine Of $3.50 a day for the time
that had elapsed since they were sum
mOned to pay the tax. That made Sl6.50

ghastly wound in the head. A long -barreled
Colts pistol of forty-one callber lay by the
side of the body.
Appearances plainly indicated the method
of suicide. 1t was evident that he had sat
up in bed, placed the muZZle of the pistol in
his mouth and pulled the trigger. the ball

The deceased was aged 80 years, unmar-

came five years ago. He was largely iu-
terested in redwood lumber forests in the
northern part of the State, and was one of
the most extensive dealers IN redwood on
the coast.

News OF the death was telegraphed to him
and the remains may be sent East for inter

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The hurricane which
has prevailed on the west coast of Ireland
for several days past is pronounced to be
the worst storm known in that part of the
country in twenty years The river Shan
non oyerfiowed its banks and submerged
large quantities of land in its vicinity,
drowning a considerable number of cattle
and sheep, and destroying several houses
and many barns and other buildings.
The storms have caused the most abnor-
nal high tide at Sandgate, near FOlkeStone,
and this, combined with the hurricane, is
destroying the sea-walls. Great alarm is
felt. Many houses situated near the shore
have already been washed over by the
angry waters, and the high road leading TO
Hythe and FOlkestone has been submerged
and destroyed in many places. The River
Thames at Windsor, Eaton and other places
is overlooking its banks into many houses.
Similar reports come from many other
places in England, Ireland and Scotland.
DUBLIN, Oct. 19.-The gale has been rag
ing to-day with unusual terccness about
Queenstown and vicinity. About thirty
crafts, large and small, have been driven
ashore. AT Youghal the sea has been so
heavy that many parts Of the town have
been flooded by the waves, which swept
into the streets. Many sheep and cattle
were drowned along the course of the Black
water River. DISPATCHES from Holyhead
state that 200 vessels have been so much
damaged that they sought refuge in that
port.
At Maryport, Cumberland, on the Irish
Sea, thriving shipbuilding place, the water
is causing enormous damage. The river
Shannon las burst its banks in County
Limerick, inundating large tracts of land.
The reclamation works near Ennis, in
County Clare, which recently cost the Gov
erument S6O0,000 have been nearly ruined.
Many villages i'll the Trent Valley have been
submerged.
The rivers Esk. Ebbew, Runney and OF
way have overflowed their banks. Many
thousand acres of land have been covered
with water and the roads rendered impassa-
bic. A large number Of build ngs weak
ened by the flood have collapsed. The loss
to live stock is very great. The Parrot
River overfowed its banks. Between
Bridgewater and Angport the country for

been drowned and many houses submerged.

since the idea first took definite form in tho
minds Of few of the bright young men of
DR.. Easton's congregation. and some little
time was naturally consumed in laying
plans and arranging minor details. 1t grew
out of feeling that there was not the
degree of sociability among the young men
of the church that should exist, and it was
decided to arrange for them place where
they could meet during the evenings for
purposes of amusement aud mutual i'm
provement. Accordingly a room in the
church, at the corner of Powell and
Geary, was set apart for them, and
they proceeded to furnish it in the most cosy
manner imaginable. There it is the intan-
ton to keep on file the latest periodicals and
to form as rapidly as possible library, OF
which nucleus has already been donated.
Desks and writing material will also be

Third Seml-Annual Session OF the Trans

OMAHA, Oct. 19-The third semi-annual
session of the Trans Mississippi Congress
convened this afternoon, with 100 delegates
present. The congress was called to order
by Governor Prince Of New Mexico. Gov
ernOr 1hayer of Nebraska welcomed the
delegates on behalf Of the State and Mayor
Cushing on behalf of the city. Ex-Gover-
nor Adams of Colorado spoke of the aims Of
the congress, the breadth of the subject it
proposed to discuss and the Importance there
of, not alone to the immediate West, but to the
world. Great progress has already been
made" said he. but greater is in store for
us. We want the East to know that the

States of New England or over the number

statement that the time is at hand when the

FRAUDULENT METHODS.
Baltimore Peaches Sold in Eastern Marke
Under California Labels.

Baltimore Peaches Sold in Eastern Markets
Under California Labels.
NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-The Commercial
Bulletin, referring to the charges in a Cali
fornia agricultural newspaper that Bati-
more peaches had been packed under Cali
fornia labels this season, says that journal is
not mistaken; peaches have been packed in
Baltimore and sent out under s0-called Cali
form a labels. Some of the peaches are ex-
cellent, and doubtless hold their own in the
contest with average California goods. but
others, according to competent judges, not
only fail to come up to the California stand
ard, but would not do justice to Eastern
packers if exhibited as fair average speci-
men Of their work. or the fact that la bels
used by California packers have been cGun-
terfeited we fail to discover any proof, butit
is no secret that goods bearing Ia bells of non
existing Gamers have been shipped out OF
Baltimore this season. In other words,
labels artiS.ically arranged to suit the cir
cumstances, yet steering clear Of a counter
felt, could doubtless be discovered without
calling into service a modern Nidord. We
learn of one instance where goods thus
falsely labeled have been offered in the
Eastern market, but whether by the au-
thor;ty Of the packer or not Is uncertain.
Upon careful inquiry facts were ELECTED
going to show that nearly all Baltimore
goods under California labels are thus
turned out at the instigaton of Western
dealers. That is to say, those dealers
bought goods unlabeled from the packers
and had specially prepared California labels
placed on the cans. This is really no new
Western trick In fact, it is of the chestnut
order, but Que that Californiaus should be
indignant, not to be surprised at, however,
and success should attend their efforts to
run down the game in this connection. 1t
l,n = tn fI,at 1az zfaaT fnp
Eastern jobbers have frequently dropped
the hint that they could make a nice turn if
their principals would condescend to put in
Eastern peaches under the California label.
