Countess de Pourtal on Monday in honor
OF the Duke de Charles This is also ab-
solutely untrue, rs the Countess, as well
as all other ladies mt Cannes, has cut Mrs.
Deacon's acquaintance. II is stated by
best authority that some fresh evidences
will shortly be brought forward which
will stagger Mr.. Deacon's accusers.

Ansel Oppenheim appeared for the Bos-
ton Northwest Real Estate company

S110.500 on three lots located on East
Seventh street, near Cedar. He claimed
that the assessment had been raised
from the lesser to the larger sum this
year without good reason. The in
crease was at the rate of 80 per cent.
aud would decrease the rental value OF
the, property to the amount Of the tax.

improvements to the amount OF $1,000
in order to secure the same rent as last
year. The matter was referred to the
auditor and assessor for investigation.
The board refused TO reduce the as
sesSment of Noyes Bros. 81 Cutler to
$4,000. The assessment of this firm
was raised from $4,000 to $4,000 upon
Recommendation of the jobbers' union.
Emma II. Barrett asked that her as
sessment be reduced $500, as it had
been raised that much. The matter
was referred to the assessor to ascertain
If her assessment had been raised so
per cent, as claimed by her.
p. JurgenS was granted an abatement

of s16 80.

LIFE HAD NO CHARMS
For Peddler Carl Nj. Anderson,
and He Cut the Thread in
Twain.
Deprived of One Revolver, He
Produces Another for the
Deadly Work.

Carl M. Anderson, Swedish peddler,
suicided at tile Bethesda hospital, on
East Ninth street, yesterday morning.
Anderson went to the hospital on Sept
II. suffering from pistol wound in the
left knee, which he claimed to have re-
ceived at Fairfield, To-, while fixing his
revolver. During his stay at the hos
pital Anderson acted vely strangely, and
the other inmates suggested that his eff
fects be searched. This was done, and
the revolver found and taken away from
him.
Early yesterday morning he shot him
self III the right temple, and death re-
suited in few moments after. The
body was viewed by Coroner Quinn,
and afterward removed to Wallblom u
Thorsells' undertaking rooms. The
hospital authorities are at loss to
account for the second revolver in An
derSon's possession, as he was thor
oughlv searched when the first one was
taken from him.
Anderson was a travelling peddler
and purchased most of his goods in this
city. At the time of his death he had
$500 in cash and a large stock of goods
He was fifty-four years of age, unmar-
ried ana had no relatives in this
country. His brother, j. A. Anderson,
lives at Kessa, Sweden, and when first
brought TO the hospital the deceased
told the physicians that if anything
happened him to send what was left to
his brother.

PULLING FOR PLUMS.
Republican Prospective Candi-
dates for Popular Favor.

Friends of Charles Chapel, the Gus
todian of the armory, have begun to
push his name in earnest as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
sheriff, and the soldier element of the
party maintain that he would be by far
the best man to pit against the Demo-
cratic nominee, whoever he may be.
w. J. Freaney's supporters will find
hard job ahead of them in disposing of
Chapei's ambition outside of contest in
the convention, although the plea is
made that the eX-chairman of the
county committee should be allowed
practically clear field as reward for
services in the past.
At least three men are said to be
seeking the Republican nomination for
county attorney, f. w. Zollman, James
c. Markham and Walter l.. Chaplin.
The first-named is understood to have
the heaviest push to begin on, the
other two gentlemen not having taken
so active part in local wire pulling in
the past. Any of the gentlemen men
toned on the Democratic side. even if
County Attorney OBrien- should for
any reason decline to be candidate for
reelection, would have little reason to
fear the result in contest with any of
the three men named above.

A GAP IN The RANKS.
Death Of Maj. A. B. Bracket
at His Residence in st.
Paul.
After Two Weeks Illness the
Citizen, Soldier and Official
Passes Away.
Sketch of the Honorable and
Busy Life Of a Minnesota
Pioneer.
Search for a Missing MINNIE
apolis Man May Clear a
Mystery.

Maj. Alfred b. Bracket departed this
life last evening at 1880 at his residence.
o49 Sherman street, after an illness of
about two weeks. There was probably
no man in the state of Minnesota who
was more generally or more favorably
nown than was Maj. Bracket. For
thirty-six years he has been a prom
lnent parsonage in the state. The
greater part of that time he has been in
the Office of United States marshal. AS
an Indian fighter he has an excellent
reputation, and Brackets battalion was
one of the most noted in the civil war.
He was born in New Hampshire in
1926. When fifteen years old he went
to Boston to work in a grocery store.
In 1o4S he went to California, returning
to Boston in 1852, in which year ne came
to st. Paul. He was in business with
Z. w. Griggs, on Third street. for a
year, and then served several years as
deputy sheriff and deputy United States
marshal. He went into the civil war in
1861, and served until its close with
distinction. In 1862 Gov Ramsey APP
pointed HIM major of the Curtiss horse
regiment. At the end of three years
service he re-enlisted and served five
years at the head of Brackets battal-
ion, ana was with Gen. Sully Oh the
plains as an Indian fighter.
Prior to his leaving st. Paul for Sioux
City he was presented with a beautiful
sword by his friends that cost $500. He
was man of large heart and sincere
SympathieS; he was extremely cOurte-
Gus but firm in his actions, and his
thirty-fOur years of service in the mar
ShaPS office fails to discover Sinking
of duty or dishonorable act. He was
taken i'll two weeks ago, while serving
as deputy marshal in the federal court
at Minneapolis, and came home and
went to bed never to rise again. The
regret for his death will extend over
large circle of earnest friends.

The Present County Attorney Not
Seeking Reelection.
County Attorney O'Brien yesterday
announced that, for business reasons, he
had decided not to seek a reelection.
Mr.. O'Brien said his mind had been
practically made up on this point for
several weeks past, and though he was
urged by friends to accept a renomina-
ton, the state of his private practice.
which had been practically neglected
for two years, admonished him that he
could not longer neglect.
The nomination of Pierce Butler for,
county attorney last night, leaves that
gentleman the only open candidate for
the office oil the Democratic side. Mr..
Butler has been assistant in the Office
under MIR. O'Brien, has attended to
practically all the details, has managed
many important cases and also looked
after the police court work. Heiras
won commentator from the bench and
bar and would make a strong candidate
for the position he seeks.

An Unknown Body That May

An Unknown Body That May
Clear Up a Mystery.
Friends of j. W. Purdy, who left his
home in Minneapolis on the morning of
July %, were in the city yesterday en-
deavorlDg to discover some trace of him.
A call was made on Deputy Coroner
Darling to see if any person answering
Purdy's description had been killed or
drowned. The only unknown dead per-
son the coroner could give any informa-
ton about was that the body of a man
was found in the upper boom Aug. 8.
The body was entirely nude when
found. but the general description of
Purdy tailed with that of the drowned
man. Purdy left home during the alb
sence of his wife July %, aud no trace
of him has ever been found.
