came. At an early hour he began to fail
and his end was very peaceful. Seated
in the chair from which he had not
risen for over five weeks, he ielt that
death was creeping on him and told
those about him that he believed the
end had come. He remained conscious
to the last minute. Mr.. Horn was II

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
German Strikers Inperil tho Lives OF
Hundreds of Workmen.

BERLIN, Jan. 14.--It is evident that
tho lawless element among the coal
miners are determined to revenge
themselves for the discharge of
so many men who took an active
part in the troubles in the mining
districts. Dynamite which is used
in mining operations is easily procur-
able by the discharged men, and this
explosive seems to be the tavorite
weapon of the malcontents IN wreak-
ing vengeance upon the mine own
ers. To-day terrific explos-
ion occurred in the Consolidation
colliery at Gelsenkirchen, and after the
excitement had subsidized it was found
that it had been caused by dynamite
cartridges that had been secrete6
in the mine, presumably by
the strikers, so arranged that they
would explode at d certain
time. Though many men were at work
at the time, it SO happened that none
of them was in the vicinity of the ex-
killed. A number of miners were
thrown violently down by the con-
cussion. Damage to the mine was
great Immense timbers and huge
masses of rock were blown out of place.
1t will require considerab time to get
the mine in good working order again.
Great indignation is expressed that the
authors of the outrage should have
rsl1ed the lives of hundreds of men for
the sake of revenging themselves against
the mine owners. 1t will go hard with
them if they are discovered. Every
day sees decrease among the men
who went on strike. All hope Of sue
cess has been abandoned, and it is ex-
pected that in short time all the men
whom it is intended shall be re-em-
ployed will be at work.

NEW STATE LANDS.
The Auditor Engaged in Making
Swamp Selections.

The Auditor Engaged in Making
Swamp Selections.
1t is Impossible to estimate the value,
of the lands that will soon be acquired
by the. state under the swamp land
grant from the government. At the
last session Of the legislature an appro-
priation was made of $4,000 TO be ex-
pended by the state auditor in locating
the lands. The grants are for the bene
fit of the public institution funds of the
state. and in round figures 100000 acres
are at the disposal of the state. Odd
sections only can be taken, as is well
known, but the swamp lands, as they
are designated, embrace good deal of
the most valuable lands of the state.
That is because they will include rich
mineral tracts.
State Auditor Bierman has taken the
initial steps under the appropriation
act and appointed cruisers and experts
to make surveying or inspection tour
of the unacquired and available swamp
lands of the state. These comprise two
separate crews. One will be under the
direction of r. K. Doe. of Duluth, and
the other under the direction of 2. Ii.
Kirwan, of Olivia. The remainder OF
the men designated to prosecute the
work are Nels Granberg and Emil
Moody. of st. Paul; Nels Elopson, of
Grove City; A. Heidale. of Dawson;
Walter Gibbons, of Rosemount; Ia.
Tegrans, of Duluth, and NJ. Smidt, of
Tower. The crew under Mr.. Doe will
start from Tower Monday, and going to
township 80 will traverse the sect ions
to the Canadian line. The other crew
will begin at the same point, but will
move west to the Red river. The latter
will start from Aitkin tomorrow morn

THE ELEVATOR GOES,
And the Warehouse Commission
Will Soon Acquire the
Site.
Odds and Ends Of News and Cos
sip Cleaned at the
Capitol.

The state railway and warehouse
commission is not the least disconnected
because of the unfavorable opinion
made by the attorney general upon the
financial phases of the great public
elevator project at Duluth. There is
already quite fund available, and it is
the opinion that the board has ample
powers to provide the means to meet
the expense of the proposed institution.
The revenues that accrue from the
inspection of grain are at the
direction of the board under the
organic act, largely, and the COM
missioners are not apprehensive of OBJ
stacles insurmountable. Pessimists, it
is true, are maintaining that nothing can
be done because of the peculiar Ian
guage of the bill authorizing the pur-
chase of a site and the erection Of the
elevator. Acting upon this hypothesis.
the board has nearly perfected the ar
rangements for acquiring the necessary
site. The price and the location is con-
sidered generally satisfactory, and Gen.
Becker yesterday explained to the
GLOBE reporter at the capitol that all
negotiations will likely be completed in
a week or ten days. Then the commits
sion will attempt to solve the financial
problem, and the farmers Of the state
interested i'll the project will soon
breathe easier.
A representative delegation from
OtiSca, Wadena county, called upon the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion in quest of station at the town
named. They represented that there is
urgent need of the station asked, as 1T
will facilitate business aDd insure the
healthful growth of the place. The
commission arranged for conference
with this delegation and the receiver
for the Minneapolis u st. Louis xrall-
road, looking to an adjustment Of the
matter in a few days. Then, if it is
deemed necessary, the board will visit
Otisca and inspect the grounds.

1t is expected that there will be ex-
tensive Improvements in the park at
Como within the course of short time.
Mr.. Lowry has expressed all interest in
the park, and yesterday morning he was
there on visit. He spent several hours
at the park, and, although he said moth
ing to any member OF the park board, it is
thought that he is in favor of improve
ments this year. Monday or Tuesday
the board of park commissioners will
visit the park in company with Mr..
Lowry, and some definite action will be
decided upon for improvements.
The meeting yesterday afternoon in
the office of the city clerk was devoid of
special incident or interest. Those
present were Messrs. Wheelock, Bre-
denhagen and Aberle and Supt. Nuss-
banner. There having been some mis-
take in the copying of the minutes of
the last meeting, the first work done
was formal declaration that the board
rescinded all previous action in regard
to the size of Phalen park and that
three plats of ground. containing in all
lluCbE-ScYcE dCIcS, WOuiu DC lilS olLc VI
the park, and that the entire sum to be
expended be $4,000. The clerk then
read a communication from Secretary
Beck, of the chamber of commerce,
stating that the people of Seattle de-
sired to present to the park board tho
immense log which was hauled in the
parade. The board excepted the offer
ing with thanks, and it was decided to
locate it in Smith park. A resolution
of thanks was ordered drawn up for the
Seattle donors of the tree.
A communication from the st. Paul
Trade Journal, suggesting that the
park board could appear in nice little
write-up in the columns of that publica-
ton, was summarily disposed of with
out comment. The proposition to con-
struct bath houses at Como was not
considered in favorable manner, and it
is not probable that any such action will
be taken. There will be various neces-
sary sanitary Improvements made in
Como park at the earliest opportunity.
The pay roll, amounting to S2,376.f9
and number of other bllls.were ordered
paid. The meeting then adjourned. z

Foremost among fash

CUT HIM DEEP.
James Murray, Stranger, Buries
Knife in Mike COstello's
Breast.
Almost q Murder Scene Arises
Out of a Trivial
Incident.

Michael Costello, while engaged in a
fight with James Murray, near the
corner of Third and Commercial streets
yesterday morning, was stabbed in the
left breast 1t was at first thought
Costello was fatally wounded, but the
physicians at the city hospital now say
that he will recover.
Shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday
morning Costello, Fred Joplin, Charles
McCann. john Gibbon, James Murray
and William Harkins entered McCar-
thy's saloon at Third and Commercial
streets. Murray and Harkins, who are
strangers in the city, wanted to leave
their overcoats in the saloon, but Nc
Carthy, not liking the appearance of the
crowd, said he had no room for old
clothes. At this the men became in.
dlgnant, and Murray suggested an adj
JOurnment to some other saloon where
they could be we'll treated.
The crowd went to saloon across
the street, and while standing on the
walk Joplin took out his knife and be-
gan whiting Il stick. Murray borrowed
the knife. and, putting it in his pocket,
started away. Joplin demanded the
knife, and, as Murray refused to give it
up, said he would fight for it. Murray
and Joplin came to blows. ana Harklns
came to Murray's assistance. At this
Costello took hand in the battle, and
Murray and Harkins ran as fast as their
condition would allow.
Costello chased the two, and was
stabbed in the breast just below the
heart by Murray. The patrol wagon
was called and Costello taken to the
city hospital. Patrolman O'NeilI ar
rested Murray. who ran from the scene,
leaving his hat behind him. Harkins
was captured by PatrOlman Mccarthy,
and the other members of the party
were held as witnesses. Costello lives
on Dayton's bluff. Harkins and Muir
ray claim to be strangers, the former
living at Minneapolis and Murray in
Chicago.
