Christopher Erdman, an old soldier
who has for the past few months been
an inmate of the hospital at the state
soldiers home at Minnehaha, committed
suicide Tuesday afternoon by throwing
himself from the cliff into the Missis-
sippi river. Erdman was thought to be
. in fair way of recovery and had been
allowed to go out IN the grounds for the
last few days, and he was not missed I'M
til Coroner Byrnes brought the body up
from Fort Smelling, where it had been
found by soldier who was fishing.
Erdman was 66 years of age. He was
member of Company A, 23a Wisconsin

| The registration lists were turned over
to the campaign committees of the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties Wednes-
day by City Clerk Haney, and it was
through his kindness each committee Sc
cured an accurate list of the voters who
registered their names at the various
polling places Of the city Tuesday. The
Republicans were given the list from 2
o'clock until &, and from that hour to IL
! o'clock Wednesday night the Democratic
| committee had force Of men copying
the returns. A similar system will be
put into use after the next registration
day. As near as could be possibly as
certained the number of voters registered
last Tuesday was 14,5l6.
On Monday evening, Oct. 31st, the
Robert Emmett Literary Association will
celebrate Halloween by grand ball,
preceded by concert of eight select
numbers of Ireland's National music.
The ball will be announced by the open
ing of the grand march, which will take
place precisely on time at $50 pm, and
will continue to the conclusion Of TWEEN
ty- three numbers, the selection Of which,
we believe, will be appreciated by the
participants and spectators. At 1:30 q
sumptuous repast will be served, after
which the remaining unfinished numbers
of the ball programme will be completed
and brilliant rendering by the Thyle
and Schubert artists of Americas Ma
tiona] anthem will conclude the even
ing's entertainment, towards the success
of which considerable attention has been
devoted by the prominent friends of the

Nov. 10, 1889, Jeremiah Sullivan, of ST.
Paul, attended funeral in this city,
While riding in the procession on Mon
roe street it took it's line across the
tracks of the Northern Pacific railroad. |
AS the procession came near the CROSS
ing locomotive approached and whist- |
tied. This frightened Mr.. Sullivan's
horse and it took to it's heels, throwing
him to the ground and injuring him
severely. He sued the company for
damages and the jury awarded him a !
verdict of $4,000 Tuesday the case APP
peared again in the United States circuit |
court Of appeals, where it was reargued.
An interesting question Of law is in
volved. Claim is made that the Mime
apolis ordinance provides that thu blow
ing of engine whistles within certain dis
tricts, except in cases Of immediate dam
ger, is prohibited. The question whether
evidence is admissible to show that the |
engineer was negligent in blowing the
whistle under all circumstances, must be |
settled by the court.

him in the Mill Pick Manufacturing

turn they will make their home in Min
