The Suicide Dies Soon After TAX
ing the Draught.
Ella O'Rourke, twenty years old, COM
mitted suicide yesterday at the resi-
dence of her sister, Mrs. j. Dougherty,
372 Fort street, by drinking carbolic
acid.
Miss O'Rourke came to ST. Paul from
Council Bluffs several days ago to
spend the holidays with her sister.
The death of another sister at West Su-
perior a short time ago seemed to have
affected the girls mind, and it was
thought the change resulting from a
visit here would be OF great benefit to
her health. Three days ago a member
Of the family raw her with bottle of
the fatal fluid which caused her death,
and, fearing she might take her life,
took the bottle from her. A watch was
kept OH her movements from that time,
but yesterday afternoon she in some
way procured tWO-ounce bottle OF the
acid, and, going to an Clubhouse, drank
the contents. She then walked to the
house. and, as she was in great agony, a
messenger was at once sent for physi-
clan. DR.. Pine was quickly at the
house, but it was too late for medical
aid, and ill a few moments death re-
lieved the girls sutferings. Coroner
Whitcomb was called, and after learn
ing the circumstances decided an in
quest unnecessary. The remains were
taken in charge by O'Halloran 81 Muir

occupied rooms at the same place. Miss
Freeman was out of the city for several
months, and on her return missed the
goods. She reported to the police her

i've found where a portion of the goods
had been pawned. The goods had been
pawned by a young woman who was

Mrs, Presley, she claiming at the time
that they had been given her by ayoung
man named Hastings. Presley on the
stand yesterday said Hastings had given
the property to his wife, claiming that
it was given to hi III by an intoxicated
woman whom he assisted home. Neither
Hastings nor Mrs. Presley were in the
city yesterday, both being at Phelps,
Wis. The case was dismissed, and
Presley discharged, the court stating
that the evidence was not sufficient to

SHERIFF TO Be DEPOsED.
GRIND JURY REPORTS BAD STATE
or AFFAIRS.
yERMIN INFESTED
JAIL,

Sheriff of Polk Comfy to Be Dis
missed the Last Of This Month
Outrageous Showing by the
Grand Jury of the Affairs Of
the County JaiI-County Com
missioners' Orders Ignored.
: i.Arne Gundysen, sheriff of Polk
county, on account of charges pre-
feEred against him by the county COM
miSSioners of that county, will be sus-
pended on Jan. l. At meeting of the
commissioners, held Dec. Is, charges of
neglect to obey rules for the conduct of
the Jail made by the board were pre-
ferred, and on Dec. 26 the sheriff was
given hearing before Judge Ives, and
. as he was unable to answer the charges
the matter was taken under considera-
ton by the grand jury. The substance
z of the findings of that body is here
given. and in accordance Herewith
Gundysen will be dismissed Oh Jan. L:
I'VE find that while the county COM
mssioners have furnished at ali times
an ample supply of wearing apparel of
all descriptions for the use of prisoners
confined in the county Jail, the keeper
of said Jail has frequently failed and
neglected TO furnish the same to said
prisoners, as by law required. That in
consequence of this and other neglects
divers of said prisoners became infested
with vermin. We found upon making
visit to said Jail that the washing of
said prisoners was being done by them
selves, aud further investigation de-
veloped the fact that this was the Gus
IN find hot hn
and vegetables furnished said prisoners
were frequently deficient in quantity.
That while an ample supply of bread
was furnished, the same was often unfit
for use; this may also be said OF the
butter. tea and coffee supplied to said
prisoners. That said keeper has, con-
trary to law, frequently allowed the
indlscriminate intermiXture in the cor
ridor OF said Jail of the male prisoners
confined therein.
I'VE find the said Jail to be in an I'M
clean and untidy condition and that the
keeperh has failed in his duty to see that
the prisoners therein confined have kept
their persons free from filth and clearly.
but OH the contrary has failed to supply
said prisoners with water of a tempera-
ture fit to be used for bathing purposes.
We find tile keeper now in charge of
said Jail to be dScourteOus in his man
nerS and Negligent or his duty. That on
one occasion when his attention was
called to the intermlngling of prisoners
as ereinbefOre set forth, by one of the
county commissioners, he. the said
keeper, informed said commissioner that
it was none of mis- business, and that he,
the keeper, would do as he pleased with
the prisoners. In conclusion we recon-
mend that your honor take such steps in
the premises SIS you may deem necessary
10 remedy the abuses now existent in
the office of said sheriff.

LAST OF AN OLD FAMILY.
CHRISTOPHER A. j. STAHLMAGR
PASSES AWAY.
END OF A LONG STRUGGLE.
One by One the StahImann Family
Has Dropped Away-The Last
of Seven Members Expired
Yesterday-One OF the Best.
known Families in the City
Nearly Wiped Out.

AhOHH OH0 SltJ
Nearly Wiped Out.
The death yesterday afternoon of
Christopher A. j. Stahlmann, general
manager of the StahImann Brewing
| company. removes from among the liv-
ing the at member of an old time.
well-known and prominent family of
st. Paul. Deceased was the youngest
son of Christopher Stahlmann, an old
pioneer and the original founder of the
brewing company now bearing his
name ana among the oldest in that line
OF business in the city, if not thro ugh
out the state. The elder Stahlmann was
| not only prominent in business circles.
but had quite political standing, hav-
ing served in the state legisla ture and
been closely identified with other pub
lie matters of Importance.
The death of the younger Stahlmann
yesterday will recall to many of the Old
settlers of st. Paul how swift and fast
the relentless summons of death swept
away the members of that family when
once the dark shadow invaded the home
circle. There were seven m emberS of
that family, ranging in years from five
to seventy, when the first was stricken
down. being the grandfather. who was
soon followed by the grandmother, and
III few years Mrs. Stahlmann, the
mother of deceased, died. There was
respite of several years. when death
again visited them, the shining mark
this time being Christopher Stahlmann,
the head Of the family, who was fol-
lowed in a few years SUCCESSFULLY by
Henry, the Oldest son, Bernhart, the
| second in age, land yesterday the last and
youngest, Christopher A. j., was called
to his final home.
The deceased was twenty-fiv years
old, and young man of splendid
business qualifications, having been
| made general manager of the company
at very young age, and by his exer-
tons carried the immense business of
the brewing company to a highly sue
cessful point He was of quiet and
retiring disposition, preferring his bust
ness office and home life to the excite
ment Of mingling in public affairs, and
was highly esteemed by all the men in
his employ and all his friends and
neighb0rs in the Fifth ward, which has
been his home since infancy, and
where he was known by the gen.
| eral title of THE Governor" He has
been i'll for several years past with lung
| troubles, and spent one season at Colo
RADIO Springs in the hope of effecting a
| cure. The visit benefited him some,
| but in the last two years his old troubles
came back, and his many friends have
known for some time that his ailmant
| would prove fatal. He leaves wife
and two children to mourn his loss, but
the mother and little ones will have the
| sympathy of hosts of friends to comfort
them and partially compens ate for the
irreparable loss they have sustained.
1t has not been decided yet when the
funeral will take place, but it Will prob
ably be Friday.

American Bank Matter.
{ The board of abatement disposed of
fseveral matters at the meeting yester-
day afternoon. Henry A. Castle, as ad-
.ministrator of the estate of 4. w. Rutle,
was granted an abatement from 1000
ito $1,000. Nathan Ford was granted a
PRODUCTION on personal property from
SIS to $1,000. The application of
sO'Halloran & Murphy for reduction
fof $500 on real estate was rejected.
Mr.. Murphy said that he would carry
the matter into the court, as the
doubling Of the valuation in one move
by the assessor would work bard
ship. The present valuation is SlO.70O
EOn real estate on Sixth street
near Franklyn. The application of FL.
II. Herbst for reduction on the prop
rerty known as the Farwell homestead
was rejected. The present valuation is
81, 900, and Mr.. Herbst declared that he
would sell the property for a less sum of
money. The question of reducing the
valuation of the capital stock of the Ma
tional German-American bank was laid
over until the next meeting. so that
full board may act in the premises. The

the matter to the effect that the first
return of an officer of the bank may be
regarded as final, but if the board
is of opinion that the application
for a reduction is true, it has
the power to make such reduction as
will be just and equitable. The matter
of reducing the assessment against
David J. Hennesy on money claimed to
be in bank went over until the next
meeting. An affidavit has been made
by Mr.. HenneSy to the effect that he
resides in Dubuque, and did not have
SIS, 900 in bank in this city last May.
He had few hundred dollars here, but
the amount would not exceed 5000. The

Must Be Tender With Tom.

Duluth Commonwealth.
The labor organizations of the Twin
Cities have had Supt. Hoskins, of the
street railway company, arrested. When
the time for vesuibuling the cars was six
months gone and nothing done, the men
made complaint. 1t was brash thing
to do. to call a corporation To account
for contempt Of the law, and perhaps
for that reason they were too timid to
tackle the real culprit. Thomas Lowry
is the principal man in that corporation.
But you wouldn't expect the men to
have the nerve to bring the law to bear
upon him.
