A STRANGE STORY.
ColOred Woman Seriously Injured
in a Mysterious Manner.

ColOred Woman Seriously Injured
in Mysterious Manner.
A case of assault which presents many
of the elements of a mystery and may
develop into murder came to light yes
terday. A colored girl named Mary
Hanson was found yesterday morning
lying in little frame house near the
corner of Fourth avenue south and
Third street with three of her ribs
broken, and suffering from other injur-
les which render her condition critical.
The girl in explaining her injuries re-
lateS very sensational and extravaganza
tale, which has created the belief that
she is disposed to conceal at least por-
ton of the facts.
She says that one night week ago
she and another coored girl named Ida
Simpson went driving with Walter
Banks, also colored, and a white man,
who was stranger them, but told them
that he was member of Engine Com
pany No. and that his name was Will
lam Murray. She claims that as
they drove along Banks told her
that Murray had plenty of
money and that he was going to rob him
of it, and, if necessary, beat him to get
possession of it. She asked to be let
out of the sleigh, but Banks refused,
and few moments later she felt her
self violently thrown from the vehicle,
and when she fell became unconscious.
She says that she did not remember
anything until she found herself in bed
in the house of Mrs. Palmer, where she
now is. A physician who examined the
woman says that the marks on her body
would indicate that she had been either
kicked or beaten.
Banks, when questioned, denied the
woman's story, and stated that the
horse ran away and she was thrown out.

SALOON MEN AND MAYOR.
Exact Status of Affairs Between
Them Explained.

Last night an evening paper published
a story to the effect that the mayor and
the saloon men of Minneapolis have en-
tered into compact by virtue of which
they are to work together. 1t was stated
that the saloon representatives and the
mayor and chief of police have held
conferences and have come to definite
agreement concerning the management
that the saloons will have their back
doors open Sunday to a favored few but
to no one else.
All of which sounds very nice i'll a
Republican paper, but none of which is
true. And the paper that published it
probably knew that it was untrue when
the matter was put into type.
The saloons will not be open OH Sum-
day. The mayor of Minneapolis will
see to it that this is given as go0d an adj
ministration. with ct to the Sum
day saloon as it has ever enjoyed. He
has, in fact, done that very thing all
along, and will not change his plans
now. The only change in the situation
is that the administration will not be
hampered by the work of the crusader
any more. The city ordinances are in
such shape now that the administration
is made directly responsible for the en-
forcement of the Sunday closing ordi
nance, and the administration is willing
to accept the responsibility.
As matter of fact, the only confer
ence that has been held with reference
to this Sunday law, or the saloon ques-
ton in any form, was held last Thurs
day afternoon. Almost every sa-
loonkeeper in the city attended
the meeting in the rooms
over Hofflin's drug store on the
corner Of First avenue south and Wash
ington. That meeting showed that the
saloon men and the mayor have come
an agreement with the mayor. the sa-
loon men failed to come to all agree
ment among themselves. They do not
all think alike on Sunday closing. 1t is
a we'll known fact that many of the best
saloons in the city would be closed on
Sundays if the owners had their way
about it. They are forced TO keep open
on Sunday to keep even with their COM
petitors. 1t is not the business they do
on Sunday that impelS them to want to
open their doors on the Sabbath. But.
if men get into the habit of going to a
certain saloon on Sunday they are apt to
get into the habit of visiting the
same place on week days. And that
the man who might close on Sunday.
One matter that came up at that meet
ing last Thursday was the point of
fighting the crusaders. Some of the
saloon men who have been fought by
the crusaders were anxious to get the
others to agree to stand by them. They
wanted to form a sortof an organization
to fight the crusaders, the organization
to pay all fines assessed through the
work of the crusaders. That movement
did not meet with unanimous support.
adopted at ali. 1t may truthfully be
said that the meeting of the saloon
keepers-the only one that has been
held during the week-resulted in moth
ing.

POLICEMAN ARRESTED.
SANDY" Kennedy Charged With
Grand Larceny.

Considerable commotion was created
in police circles yesterday by the arrest
of Patrolman Alexander }. Kennedy on
charge of larceny. The arrest was
made by Sergeant Norman, who claims
that he found Kennedy in the act of
robbing the money drawer in the saloon
of Roman d Person. corner Washington
and Twentieth avenue south, about 2
q. IN.
Several times of late Messrs. Roman
& Person have complained to the police
authorities that small sums of money
had been taken from their till during
the night and Oh Sat urday night Nor
man was detailed to watch the saloon
and concealed inside where he could
see the drawer. Every night since he
has watched the place but without re-
suit until yesterday morning. Norman
states that shortly after 2 o'clock he
heard key turn III the lock of the back
door and saw Kennedy enter and go
directly to the cash drawer and help
himself to its contents. about 50.
Norman claims that Kennedy broke
down and confessed as soon as he placed
him under arrest. Later, in an inter
view with the chief, Kennedy stated
that he found the door open and went
into the saloon. and although he was
carefully searched no key could be
found upon his person. When ar
raigned in the police court yesterday
Kennedy waived examination and he
was bound over to the grand jury in
$500 bonds, which up to date he had not
| obtained.
Kennedy was discharged from the
force by Supt. Henderson yesterday,
and his star was taken away. The ac-
cuSed was a member of the FOurth nre-
cinct detail, and one of the best known
officers OH the force. He has served for
years, and has always borne a good rep
utation for obedience and attention to
duty.
He is married man. and, with his
family. resides at 1920 Crystal Lake ave-

EXONERATED.
End of Peculiar Case in the Dis
triCt Court

Yesterday Judge Pond filed decision
in the case of George NJ. McGregor VS..
Herber d Wilson, insurance men. The
case had some peculiar features. Last
spring McGregor's house burned down.
He claimed at the time that he
had instructed Herber 81 Wilson
to insure his house, and that they
had neglected to take care of the bust
ness. On that account he sued them
for $1,000 damages for neglecting his
business. The case dragged along and
was finally dismissed. without preju-
dice, only to be recommended. 1t came
to trial recently, and yesterday Judge
Pond filed decision in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. The decision of the Judge is
complete eXoneration of the insurance
firm from the accusation that it did not
attend to business. He finds that there
was absolutely nothing to show that
McGregor had ever instructed them to
make out an insurance policy. He also
comments Oh the loose business methods
of the plaintiff. The exoneration of
Herber & Wilson could not be more
complete if drawn by their own attor-
ney.

A Georgia Woman's Faith Made

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 2O.-Eighteen
months ago Miss Emma Evans was
thrown from carriage while driving
near Perry's mill, in Tattnall county.
Two of her ribs were broken and her
spine was so badly injured that the doc
tor pronounced her case incurable. To-
day Miss Evans, who has all her life
been very devout, was silently praying
that her health might be restored, when
a strange sensation came over her. SO
strong was her faith that she essayed to
rise. and finding herself able to do so
walked about the room, to the amaze
ment of her relatives.

The practice of consulting Scripture
as a book of fate was generally con
dcmned by the church. A council at
Vannes pronounced against it in 461
A. d. So did one at Agde in 506 and
one ut Auxerre in 5S5. Charles the
Great forbade it in his capitularies,
and SO did Pope Gregory Ii. Never
theless, curiosity as to the future
was SO strong in mems minds that
the custom continued.
An odd circumstance is that the
cathedral chapter at Orleans in TAG
appealed to prognostic Of this sort
in supplcation addressed by them
to Pope Alexander III against their
bishop. at his conservation, when
tho Gospel was opened above his
head, the finger of the deacon rested
upon the words, "And he left the

bishop, Elias. was to be- turned out

Mhero we. Adam nurIear

Was Adam, ''the first man." the hus-
bar, Of Eve and the victim Of the SER
pent's wiles, buried in Missouri The
Talmud says: "The remains of Adam
were taken by Noah into the ark, and
when the ark rested on Mount Ararat
Noah and his SONS removed the body
from it, and they followed an angel,
who led them tosthe place where the
first father was to lie. Stem being con-
secrated by God to the priesthood per-
formed the religious rites and buried
Adam at the center Of the earth"
Others relate that Noah on leaving the
ark distributed the bones of Adam
among his (Noah's) sons; that Shein was
given the skull, and that he buried it at
Golgotha, which, by strange coinci-
dence, you will remember, was known
as the place of skull. S. Basil says
according to Jewish tradition, the
skull of Adam was found in Golgotha.
Solomon, by his great wisdom, knew
that Adams skull was buried there"
Golgotha was also known as Mount
Calvary, because Adams calvaria, or
skull, was inferred at that place.
But Joseph Smith, the Mormon proph-
ct, who was a most remarkable man,
was of the opinion that place near
Gallatin, Mo-, was the center of the
earth, and that Adams remains were
buried there. A mound near that place
prophet Smith always designated as
adam on Di-Amon," which he inter-
preted as meaning "the grave of the
