An Inquest That Didn't Pan
Out--Working Of the
CrematoPy.

Window hall was, last evening,
crowded to OVERLOOKING with people of
both sexes and all ages who moved
about in the busiest possible manner,
and presented a very lively scene. The
occasion was the monthly meeting and
annual election of the Hennepln County
Catholic Building and Loan society, and
nearly every one who was entitled to
vote was on hand to take advantage of
that privilege. The election was con-
Quoted on the Australian system. and
from O'Clock until nearly midnight
there was solid stream of
voters pouring up to deposit
their ballots. A caucus was held
at the previous meeting on July ID, at
which President John Lally and Treas
urer Mcmillan were reelected by ac-
clamatiOn, there being no opposition.
This left TO be elected a secretary. an
attorney and board Of three managers.
For the Offices of secretary and attorney
there was lively competition, as there
is salary connected with the former
and there are fees which accrue to the
latter. The nominees were as follows:
For secretary, John Skallan, who served
last year, and Peter Mccormick. For
attorney, John J. Kinnane and w. H.
Donahue. For managers, Thomas Con-
molly, Simon J. Mccarthy, Timothy
DriScoll and Michael O'Reilly.
The principal contest was on the at
torneyShip, and while it was carried on
with perfect good nature it was thor
oughly in earnest. The candidates
themselves could be observed chatting
pleasantly together from time to time,
but their friends were hard at work in
their behalf and no little feeling was
displayed.
The election resulted as follows:
For secretary-Total number OF votes
cast, 409 Peter Mccormick, 296; Ed
ward f. Skalan, lib.
For attorney-Total number of votes

to signal the tower, to learn if the track
was clear. The rear brakeman, Ed
White. was ordered to get off by one OF
the outlaws. The two men accompanied
Castle to the way car, when they again
commanded White to get off. AS he

of one of the robbers was discharged;
White dropped dead. The ball entered

The Board of Corrections Post
pone the Hospital Question.

The Board of Corrections Post
pone the Hospital Question.
The board Of corrections and charities
assembled yesterday to consider the
question of hospital site. but owing to
the absence of Mayor Winston action
was postponed, it being decided by those
present that every member should have
a voice in so important a matter. The
board therefore confined itself to routine
business, the most important being the
expense estimate for 1892. The esti-
mates of the various departments were
considered, and after some slight
changes were approved by the board as
follows:
Poor department, $4,000; hospital de-
partment, Sl6,7 52; workhOu5e depart
ment, So, 800. The poor department
asked for S34, 800, and was allowed 500
more for extra clerk hire; the hospital
department asked for SIC, 752, and was
cut down 5000; the wOrkhOuSe asked for
S25, 900. and was cut $1,000, as follows:
Insurance, 500; clothing, $500; stock,
ing and repairs, $1,000; miscel-
Ianeous, 5000. Last year the
poor department had $50, 800; the hos
pital department. $4,000, and the work
house department, sd, 900. The in
crease in the hospital department is due
chiefly to the fact that the police sur
geon will hereafter be paid out of the
hospital fund. The work house increase
is owing to the fact that most of the
bedding will have to be renewed this
year. Besides that, the insurance will
fall due next year.
These figures will be submitted to the
council at its next meeting with the re-
quest that the $4,000 bonds authorized
by the legislature for hospital purposes
be negotiated as soon as possible.

JERKED HIS HEAD OFF.
Horrible Contretemps at an En-
glish Hanging.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 2O.-John Conway,
the steamship fireman who was recently
sentenced to death for the murder of
boy. was hanged this morning. When
Berry, the hangman, was drawing the
black cap over Conway'S head the latter
shouted: "Hold on; want to say some
thing" Berry replied: you can't
speak now" The priest who was in at
tendance on the criminal interfered,
and Conway asked forgiveness of his
sins. When the drop fell and Conway
disappeared from view dripping sound
was heard. An investigation showed
that COnway's head had been practically
torn from his body, only being held to
the body by the muscles of the neck,
and from this terrible wound blood was
pouring upon the floor. In his confess
sion. which the priest read, Conway
said he was intoxicated when he MUIR
dered the boy, and that his reason for
taking the boys life was morbid curl
osity to observe the process of dying.

THE BRIDGMAN INQUEST.

There Was No Chance for the
jury to Make a Recommends
ton.
Yesterday the coroner called an in
quest to inquire into the cause of the
death Of Salmon Bridgman, who was
killed in the sewer caYe-in Wednesday
afternoon. The main object of the in
quest was to prepare recommendation
to the council that an ordinance be
passed giving the city sewer inspect
Ors the authority to inspect the
material used in preparing sewer
connection excavations tor pipe
laying so that there might be no danger
from that source. There was no evil
dence to show that the sewer trench
that caved in was not a good piece of
work, perfectly safe, so far as anyone
could tell. One man testified that the
material used for sheetlng and bracing
the trench was of poor quality. He
was an opposition plumber, however,
and the jury took but little stock i'll his
evidence. inasmucb the burden of truth
was on the other side. Mr. Bridgman'S
death was purely accidental. He was
one of the most careful men
in the employ Of the city
and never would have gone into the
trench if everything about it had not
looked safe. Under the circumstances,
it being shownthat no blame attachedto
any one, the jury did not feel like perpe-
trating such an Inconsistency as recon-
mending a remedy for a fault that
could not be found to exist.
The funeral of Mr.. Bridgman will be
held this afternoon from the residence
of the deceased, 1916 Third avenue
south, at $50. 1t will be under the
auspices of ARK lodge. A. +. q A. N.

INCREASE THE COMMITTEES.
Scandinavian Democrats Want a
Larger Representation.

1t is probable that the committee re-
Gently appointed by President Durant
to look after the interests of Hennepin
county in the organization of the state
by the newly organized Democratic
club, will be increased. The commit
tees appointed by Mr.. Durant are APP
portioned among the congressional dis
tricts. Seven committeeman are
given to each district. An at
tempt will be made to have the
number given to Minneapolis increased
to ten. No fault is found with the COM
mittee as organized. A. L. Ankeny, G.
r. Cameron. j. w. Tamm, ID. =. John
son, Joseph JepsOn, Matt Gallagher and
John Landberg are Democrats of I'M
questioned loyalty. They are all right
as far as they 90. The trouble is that
they don't go far enough.
The demand for an increase in the
number of the committee comes from
the ScandinavianS principally. They
are given but one place on the COM
mittee. They think they are entitled to
more. A prominent Scandinavian, talk
ing on this matter last night, said:
81 look at the matter this way: We
don't want all the places on the COM
mittee, neither do we want any men
to be put upon that committee merely
because he is a Scandinavian. We want
ScandnaVianS appointed because they
are Democrats. When one Scandina-
Wan is made a committeeman III a case
of this kind it looks as if he was APP
pointed for the sole reason that he is
Scandinavian. We Scandinavians don't
like that. If the places on the COM
mittee are to be split up and passed
around to the representatives OF the dit
ferent natiOnalitieS, then the various
nationaltieS should be given the repre-
sentation to which they are entitled. l
have not a word to say against Mai.
Landberg. He is all right. But it looks
very much as if he was put upon that
| committee because he happens to be
Scandinavian. The Scandinaviaus of
Minneapolis furnish about 60 per cent
of the total Democratic vote. If the na-
tionality, and not the man, is to be rec
ognlZed, then we want our fair repre-
sentation on that committee. There are
a good many ScandinavianS who think
Just as do on this subject. That COM
mittee should be increased to ten, any
how, and the Scandinavians given their
fair proportion of the members on it."
The increasing of the Hennepin
county committee to ten would make it
necessary to do the same by Ramsey
county. Then all the other districts
would be likely to squeal. That would
bring up for a new discussion the very
question that this organization is pOpu-
| larIv supposed to have been formed to
settle-the domination of the Twin
! Cities in the politics of the state. 1t
| looks as if the new club might encoun-
ter few six-barred gates before its
| race is run.

IN EAsTMAN's FAVOR.
Judge Lochren Decides the Nicol-
let Island Shore Line Case.

Yesterday Judge Lochren decided the
long, hard-fought Nicollet island shore
line case. Frank G. GriswOld brought
the suit to prove that Island avenue ex-
tends to the water line, taking i'll some
land now claimed by w. w. Eastman.
Judge Lochren finds for Eastman, and
says:
This dispute seems to have mainly arisen
from the fact clearly shown that there was
for some time another map or imperfect copy
of this plat among the original plats kept by
the register of deeds, which did not, either
by wards or line show such riverside limit OF
Park street, and was mistaken by persons
searching and by surveyors and map makers.
When, or by whom or for what purpose IL
was made or what has become of it does not
appear. But the only evidence in the case IS
to the effect that only one original plat was
ever executed by the land owners, and 1t
seems very improbable that the two original
plats varying in several particulars, should
be executed by the land owners on the same
day. with all certificates and dates thereon
exactly alike.

HEADQUARTERS OPENED.

Local Camps Won't Drill.

Local Camps Won't Drill.
Yesterday the Sons of Veterans opened
headquarters at 200 Nicoliet avenue.
There the visiting camps will be re-
ceiYed and assigned quarters. The
headquarters of the officers of the en-
campment will be at the West hotel.
The committees on ritual. military rank
and constitution are already at work on
the proposed reunions noted yesterday.
The Minneapolis camp will not enter
the competitive drill. The reason why,
as given by Capt. +. G. Drew, is this:
"The boys have decided to take no
part in the drill-frst. because we are
entertaining the visitors, and second,
because the familiarity of the boys here
with the drill grounds would give them
an unfair advantage. And then
there is another reason why we
would not 60 into the drill. We
are doing everything in our power to
make the encampment a success, and
it takes an immense amount of work
to accomplish this, thus calling on the
boys for extra labors and giving them
practically no time to drill even if there
were no other reasons in the way.
During the encampment our boys will
be very busy all the time, for there
are a thousand and one things to do
and we want everything done up in the
most complete and satisfactory shape"
