TiIierman Jefferson, of the Fire
Department, Meets Death.
Thomas Jefferson. tillerman of Hook
and Ladder Company No. 3, located at
the corner of Fifteenth avenue south
and Fourth street, met with his death
yesterday in manner peculiarly sad
and tragic. 1t is the custom of the Hook
and Ladder company to practice each
day in order to keep themselves
and the horses in good condition. Yes
terday, in spite of the snow and icy
street. the company went out to practice
in the near vicinity of the engine house.
For a while everything went we'll, and
the huge truck was sent around cor
ner with sharp turn for the last time
previous to going back to the house.
This last turn proved a fatal one.
The front part of the big truck made
the corner all right, but the rear end
slowed. 1t struck mob OF Ice on the
street and the wheels came In under the
truck with crunch. The spokeS OF the
wheel on the off side snapped and burst
from out the tire. This threw the other
wheel into the air, tipping the truck
and throwing the unfortunate tillerman
out of his seat lie struck full upon his
head on the flinty street, and when
picked up he was unconscious. This
occurred shortly before IL o'clock in
the forenoon. jefferson was taken to
the st. Barnabas' hospital. He never
regained consciousness, and at $50 died.
Jefferson was married recently. and
lived at the corner of Fourth street and
Fifth avenue south. He was member
of the fire department for over two
years, and was considered all excellent
fireman and good fellow.

A BLACK TARGET.
Charlie Hamilton Uses Charlie
Page for a Pistol Target.

Charlie Hamilton Uses Charlie
Page for Pistol Target.
Charlie Hamilton, the well known
. colored saloonkeeper, who conducts the
Shades, at 223 Third street south, was
arrested last night for indulging in a
little target shooting, with Charlie Page
as the objective point. Page is big,
huklng negro. known to everybody
as bad COON" He earns
his living by sweeping out sa-
looms and manipulating the hose
in the vicinity of cuspidors. He was in
an ugly mood yesterday and drank
pretty freely in HamiltOn's place. He
made himself SO obnoxious that Ham
iIton ordered him out, and when he re-
fused to go he took him by the collar
This indignity caused the warm South
ern blood to sizzle within the veins of
Page and he determined to get even.
He waited until evening, when he
loaded his arms up with bricks, and 60
ing into the rear Of the saloon lay in
wait for Hamilton by the back door.
About $50 Hamilton made his appear
ance. No sooner had he opened the
door than he was saluted with flying
brick. Then Page rushed upon him
in murdetous fashion, and getting
him into the corner of the building
began to use his bricks. Hamilton did
not propose to get killed, so he pulled
his revolver and let go. Que bullet
struck the "bad co0n'' in the right arm
below the elbow. and, glancing up,
lodged in the skin above the joint. The
second bullet was more effective. 1t
struck Page in the left side, and buried
itself into the fellows vitals. At this
juncture Lieut.. Coskran and Pa
trolman Joe Ryan came upon the scene.
They arrested Hamilton, and took
him and Page to the central station.
Page bled after the fashion of wounded
pig. He did not die, however. and the
chances are he will not. Police Surgeon
Gibson dressed his wounds and then
sent him to the city hospital, while
Hamilton was locked up in cell.

THIS ONE STANDS,
RibOt's Ministry Receives a Vote
Of Confidence.

Of Confidence.
PARIS, Dec. S.-The declaration of the
new ministry was read in the senate
today by M. LOubet. minister of the in
terror, and in the chamber of deputies
by M. Ribot, the prime minister. The
declaration recalled the events that
caused the recent political crisis. and
affirmed the intention of the cabinet to
aid the cha mber of deputies by every
means in its power to throw light upon
the Panama canal affair. Nevertheless,
1T continued, the cabinet must at
firm the principles Of separation of the
executive, legislative and judicial
powers. The government has de-
cided not to exceed the limits pre-
concluded with warning to the cham
Der of the danger of lending too ready
an ear to accusations. NJ. Rib0t asked
the chamber to devote its attention to
reforms In taxation. On the conclusion
Of Nj. RibOt'S address, the cham ber-306
to 104-adopted resolution declaring
confidence in the government. The
declaration of the ministers was greatly
applauded IN both houses.
The chamber of deputies, by vote of
432 to 80, adopted motion declaring
urgency for the consideration Of Nj.
Ramet's motion authorizing holders of
Panama canal bonds to form a syndicate
to prosecute the persons who misap-
propriated the cOmpany's funds. A
majority of the committee elected to-
day to examine NJ. Pourquery de Bots
serin's proposal that all persons i'm
plicated in the Panama canal corrup-
ton be dealt with by criminal process,
are in favor Of such a measure.
The Lbre Parole today says that NJ.
Bourgeois, minister Of justice. has
ordered the immediate arrest OF the
members of the council OF the Panama
Canal company, who are charged with
breach of trust. The members OF the
company now under indictment are M.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the vice chair
man, and M. FOntalnes and Baron
Gottu. directors. 1t is reported that
the autopsy of the body of Baron
Reinach ordered by the government
was held last night. The result has
not been made public.
The Panama canal inveStiga ting COM
mttee will tomorrow examine num-
Der of the cabinet ministers. 1t will
ask M. Bourgeois. the new minister of
justice, to explain his proposed course
of action in relation to the Panama
canal case. If his explanations are not
satisfactory the committee will, IL is eX-
pected, adopt the same course as that
which led to NJ. Richards retirement.

PROPOSED NEW STATES.

Over to Next Session.

Bill for Their Admission May Go
Over to Next Session.
WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-The Demo
Gratis are inclined, it is now said, to let
the question of the admission of New
Mexico and Arizana go over to the next
congress, not making any fight to pass
the bills for their admission by the SEN
ate this winter. If the bill for the ad-
mission of New Mexico, now on the
senate calendar, were passed, the dele
gate from that territory, MIR. Joseph,
would oppose it in the house, becau Sc of
provision contained in it that nothing
but the English shall be taught in the
public schools. Mr.. Joseph says that
the people Of the territory would not
consent to come into the Union under
an act containing that provision. There
seems to be little probability of the SEN
ate striking it out under any Giro UNI
stances, and this fact inclines the Dem
ocrats not to try to admit the territory
during this congress. As both PROPOSE
tions stand together, it is probable the
course followed as to New Mexico will
be followed as to Arizona.

ROTTEN TO THE CORE.
A Building Association Run for
the Officers Benefit.

the Officers Benefit.
MILWAUKEE. Dec. S.-The Equitable
Mutual Building and Loan association
is still dark secret, and appears likely
to remain so as far as the members
are concerned. An examination of
the books confirm Plaintiff Davelier's
statement, and shows that the assets
of the concern will not have an actual
value of $500. These assets are mainly
i'll the shape of mortgages. The officers
OF the company, as given in an adver-
Using pamphlet, were: President. j.
M. Smith; vice president, j. K. Davis;
secretary, ID. w. jackson; treasurer,
j. l.. Pettigall; attorney, j. j. Esch;
Superintendent of Agencies j. l.. Gill
man. All of these appear to have come
from La Crosse. The promoters or the
concern were Smith, Jackson and Gill
man. Smith and Gilman are said to be
in Ohio. Jackson is here. held by suit.
The exposure of the rOttenness of the
association came from a desire on the
part of Architect Davelier for a state
ment OF the business of the association.
Not being able to get what he wanted
ton himself which disclosed contract
other officers agreed to pool
issues and secure from the
association enough money each month
to net them $3.50 each. Fortified with
this, Mr.. Davelier made a demand for
a statement of the condition of the assO-
citation. There was nothing encourag
ing in the statement they gave him. Mr..
Davelier did not think there would be
after seeing the secret contract. 1t
showed that the liabilities exceeded the
assets, the latter being rated as high
S20,52S. Then Mr.. Davelier withdrew.
The bulk of the stock was held by
working people in and around La
Crosse, whose earnings went to help
out the officers i'll getting the $50 each
month salary which they agreed to
give each other. 1t is stated that Pres
ident Smith was also interested in loan
association at Dayton, o., whice was
recently discovered to have liabilities
almost double its assets.

John Nelson Admits He Forged a
Number Of Checks.
John Nelson, alias John Anderson,
the young forger arrested by Sergeant
Weld, of the south precinct station, was
arraigned in the municipal court yester-
day. After hearing the evidence the
Judge bound him over to the grand jury.
When arrested Nelson bad six checks,
with the signatures of various South
Minneapolis firms forged to the bottom.
He confessed when arrested that he had
forged checks and raised money on
them, but says he did it because he
could get no work and had to have
money or starve. Among the papers
found upon his person was promissory
note for SIG. 20 ON the German-American
Bank of ST. Paul, signed w. L. Heffield
d Co. and John Anderson.
Nelson is only nineteen years old, and
he says his home is in Clear Lake, Wis.
The police say he has lived in the city
for six years, and that three years ago
he was sent to Saltwater for forging
checks OH South Minneapolis business
houses.

AHLWARDT IN LUCK.

His Seat In the Reichstag Pro-
tects Him From Prosecution.
BERLIN, Dec. S.-The dIlatory tactics
in the Ahlwardt case are due to the fact
that in accordance with tradition the
rechstag will Saturday grant Ahlwardt
immunity by suspending any proceed
ings or sentence against him, and if the
reichstag sits until June Ahlwardt will
by prescriptiye right escape punishment
altogether. Throughout Wednesdays
proceedings the scene in the court was
indescribable. Counsel Hertwig ac-
cused the Judge OF practically sentenc-
ing the prisoner without trial. AMI
wardt preserved his GOODNESS, causing
suspicion that the whole scene was
carefully prepared.
Steps are being taken to invalidate
Rector Ahlwardt's election TO the reichs-
tag OH the ground of corruption and i'll
timidation of opponents. Several of his
supporters maltreated radical agent
suspected OF being Jew. He was
badly injured and was forced to use a
revolved to escape from the mob. Anti
semitism appears to be spreading among
other parties. The Catholic organ, Ger
mania, in violent antl-Jewish article,
declares that the party DESTROYS of an
