There is no more seeming method of

There were casualties, as there almost

The weather was all that could be de-

SALTWATER NEWS.
Independence Day Observed in
Great Shape by the Lake.

IL
Great Shape by the Lake.
Independence day dawned clear and
cool, and the ensuing day fully verified
the promise of the morning. The streets
were crowded with people eager to wit
ness the days festivities. At O'Clock
a. No.. the hour appointed for the
aquatic sports on Lake St. Croix, the
crowds assembled at the levee, and the
banks of the river were lined with
a dense crowd OF people. Considerable
delay was experienced in starting, but
the interest was nevertheless kept up
The first event was batteau race, one
mile and turn, between the McHale and
Mclaughlin crews. An even start was
made, and an even pace was kept up
until the turn, when the Mclaughlin
crew dropped behind, and never re-
gained the lead which the McHale crew
had secured, the latter winning by
a length. The tour-oared shell
race, over the same course, was
won by the Sutton crew by two lengths
in 12:46, the fastest time ever made in
this city in shells. The Durant crew
took the lead in the start, but we're un-
able to hold it, and gradually fell back.
The race was exciting, and when the
Sutton crew pulled in victors cheer
went up from the spectators and the
whistles on the steamers lying III port
were sounded. The skiff race was won
by Dennis Keyes, who defeated Dan
Farnham in tight race. The days
exercises at the prison consisted
of speech in the chapel at 9 a. m. by
Rev. w. II. Butrick, of st. Paul, after
which the convicts were given their
: freedom in the yard until noon, when
an excellent dinner was served.
The races at the Lily Lake Driving
park yesterday afternoon attracted a
fair attendance. but the horses were
slow in starting and the races were not
finished until nearly dark. The three
minute trot was won by Mike Stacks
Minnie S in four heats. The one-fOurth
and One-half mile running races were
Won by Dick WeIch's roam mare.
"a The fire department was called out
yesterday by small fire On Mulberry
street, which was eXtinguisheu without
any damage.

and job work will be awarded.

COLD WATER MEN
Have an Enjoyable Picnic at Min
neSOta Transfer.

neSOta transfer.
Probably the largest attendance of
any of the picnics of the day was at the
Minnesota Transfer. The grounds were
literally crowded with happy, joyous
throng. Over thousand Good Tenn
plars from this city and twice as many
from the Flour City participated in the
amenities. 1t was basket picnic.
Everybody was supposed in other
words, to provide his own lunch, and
cold water, circus lemonade and red
pop were the only liquid refresh
richer in verdure than has been
known in any spot in the
country for many years, presented
spectacle of animation and uncOnfined
joy. The site is on the Interurban street
car line, and convenient of access to the
temperance people of both cities. The
scandinavian temperance societies of
Minneapolis. seemingly by common
consent, assumed complete control of
the affair. In the forenoon a street
pageant IN the Twin Cities was con-
temporaneous feature.
DR.. W. w. Satterlee. the indomitable
and eloquent temperance advocate, de-
livered an address at 11:30. He had
ItCcilIly I6luTilcu DIS - QG1cSolS W LlS
Cincinnati Prohibition convention, and
he related many anecdotes and recited
many interesting incidents in his Pc
culiarly graphic style, of this conven-
ton. He gave an array of statistics that
should apall the topper and influence the
temperance worker to renewed ener
gieS, DIR. Satterlee had been announced
for an afternoon speech also, but he eX
cused himself and went to Lake Mime
tonka, where he delivered temper
ance address.
c, a. Lundberg, of Minneapolis, ad-
dressed the gathering at O'Clock in the
afternoon, after the picnicers had emp
tied their baskets and exhausted the
greater portion of the cooling draughts
of the lemonade barrels.
Oscar Wolf, of st. Paul, and others
also spoke of the virtues of cold water
and in condemnation of the cursed
drink habit.
The speaking was supplemented by
athletic sports by the young temperance
advocates. There was running, sprint
ing. jumping and vaulting. and humer-
Gus features, such as sack races, pole
climbing and three-legged races. j. Nj.
Dahlby, of st. Paul. officiated as master
of ceremonies.

yesterday afternoon. There was no
more jollity at either Spring Park or at
Lafayette, after the news had been
heard. On the other side of the lake no
one knew anything about the tragedy
until late in the evening.
Rufus Hogan, the young man who
was drowned. was employed as col
lector by the firm of Finch, Van Slyck.

BLEW HIS FACE TO PIECES.
William Seeger Terribly Mutilat-
ed by a Steel Pine Cannon,

William Seeger Terribly Mutilat-
ed by Steel Pipe Cannon.
One of the saddest accidents of the
Fourth of '92 occurred at the corner of
Fourth and Wabasha yesterday morn
ing at $3.50. AT that hour William
Seeger, accompanied by several other
carrier boys, were celebrating the
advent of the national holiday
after the fashion of Americas youth
when an accident occurred. All the
carrier boys of the DAILY GLOBE had
been invited to partake of all elegant
repast rendered to them by the route
clerk, James j. Porter, and after that
enjoyed the early morn with cracker.
and bomb. The boys and their friends
F were on hand, and after enjoying the
luncheon they went out Oh the streets
and made merry with the rest of the
world. Their amusement was of an
innocent form, but, owing to the
noise, they were requested by attend
ants at the Minnesota club to go little
further up the street. This request the
boys willingly complied with, and
the acc dent happened. Among tue
boys themselves they had secured a
solid piece of steel pipe, which they had
bored out, and, after filling with
powder, wadded down hard, they
would ignite it. and the explosion
which followed afforded them consider
able amusement. In a fatal moment,
when the sO-called cannon did not ex-
plode soon enough, William Seeger
stepped up to see what was the cause
and in another instant the explosion
took place and the poor boy was mutt
lated almost beyond recognition. The
full charge of powder took effect in his
face and almost tore away the entire
nasal organ, as well as por-
ton of the ear. With a most
remarkable fortitude the boy
walked nearly block, apparently not
approaching the extent of tire injury,
and his first remark was: 81 guess l am
all right, where is my hat?" A compan-
ion handed him his hat, or rather what
there VAS left of it, and on being asked
If he could see, he replied that all he
could see was light but that he couM
distinguish nothing. The suffering lad
was taken to the police station and then
to the hospital, from whence he was con-
veyed to his home at 1921 Sims street.
His face presented all almost unrecog-
nlZable mass of flesh and powder, and
at a late hour last night DR.. Ancker
stated that he would certainly lose one
eye and probably both.

threw it at him intending to frighten
him. 1t did not strike him and he
rushed at me and hit me with his fish
Ing pole. and tried to grab me by the
throat. My housekeeper, Mrs. Smith.
came out of the house and told the man he
must get away at once.
what did she say to the man?"
eff you don't get away from here l
will shoot you"
'sThe man called her 49, and
said, 'I'll shoot you,' and reached for his
hip pocket as if to pull a revolver. Mrs.
Smith fired her pistol, and the man fell
down. | thought he was fOOling and
ran to the edge of the water, in which
he had fallen, and pulled him, and found
he was dead. Mrs. Smith was very
much frightened, and she went down
TO Justice Boyd to tell him about the
affair. She did not shoot the man with
the. intention OF hurting him, and l
think it great hardship that l should
be locked up"
At this point Heneige broke down,
his voice choked with tears, and he
]; begged the reporter to tell him where
: Mrs. Smith was, as he was ignorant of
her being in custody.
GibbertOnss Search.
Deputy Sheriff Gibberton paid a sec
ond visit 10 the scene of the tragedy
last evening for the purpose of secur-
: ing the revolver with which the shoot
ing was done. He found it in the place
: designated hy Mrs. Smith, under the
!. steps leading to the kitchen. The.
{ weapon is of Smith & Wesson manu-
,facture, five chambers and 32-caliDer.
Four exploded shells were in the pistol.
and ore loaded one. The deputy sheriff
was seen late last evening. and stated
that when Mrs. Smith was brought
to the jail she stated that Hoppe had
{ struck her with the fishing pole, and
she had gone into the house for the re-
volver. When she came out into the
garden the man, who, she claimed, was
under the influence of liquor, rushed at
her, and size fred two shots to frighten
him, and fired the third shot with the
{ same intention. The deputy sheriff
stated that number of signs were
posted up around the premises warning
iHtruderS away or they would be shot.
The spot where Heneige claims that
Hoppe was standing when shot is over
$50 feet from the place where the body
WAS found, which was outside the pre-
cincts of Heneige'S property.
A rumor was current in the vicinity
of the lake Yesterday that Heneige was
seen dragging the body of Hoppe
through the lake for some distance. and
that Mrs. Smith had some time ago shot
I at two young men who intruded on the
premises, but the deputy sheriff could
learn nothing authentic from the resi-
dents.
