MAYOR ORDERS COURTESY
AND 1T IS 0BEYED MOST LITERALLY
6YA PdTR0LMAM
"sHAkE-DOwN., THAT FAILED
Police Visit House Containing a
Burglar, but Rang the Bell for
MISUNDERSTANDING the Bur
glar Retires - Afraid OF the
Grand Jury-Arrested Mysteri-
ously, but Nothing Done.

1t is usual for grand juries before
final adjournment is taken TO submit
reports showing the condition and
efficiency of the police department.
This will probably be done before the
present jury is dischsrged, and as the
present chief executive as head of
the police department puts great
stress on the appearance and politenesS
of the members OF the force it is 10 be
hoped the jury will pay particular at
tention to this in making their report.
As an instance of how far the general
order issued by the mayor regarding the
strict attention to etiquette is Obeyed,
even at the risk of allowing criminals
to escape, the following facts are pub
liShed:
About 2 o'clock Saturday morning
Miss Cecilia Mcclure, living with her
mother at 734 East Third street, was
awakened by footsteps i'll the hall near
her bed room. Surprising it was her
brother she paid no attention until the
door opened and a masked burglar
stepped in the room, The fellow
warned her to make no noise
and inquired where the money was
secreted. As he held in one hand big
revolver the young woman did as she
was told and made no outcry. Her
younger sister, who occupied the same
room, awakened suddenly and, getting
glimpse of the masked robber, gave
two or three shrIll screams. Her cries
aroused Mrs. Mcclure, who came run
ming down stairs and into the room.
The burglar turned the gun on Mrs. Nc
Guire and ordered her to go right back
up stairs and to make no noise about it
either. Mrs. Mcclure, almost fright
ened to death, retreated from the room,
but instead of going up stairs, went out
on the street and shouted for the police.
In answer to her calls for help one of
the finest put in an appearance.
The circumstances were explained
to him and he started for the
house. As he reached the steps the
order about etiquette and politenesS
came to his mind, and instead Of chaS-
Ing into the house for the burglar he
rang the door bell and waited for some
of the household to invite him in. The
burglar, who i'll the meantime had been
endeavoring 10 trignten Miss Mcclure
into opening small safe which stood
i'll the room, no sooner heard the
door bell ring than he departed
through the rear door and by
the time the polite patrolman was let in
the house was several blocks away. The
officer made a careful search of the
premises. and after this vas done went
away and came back with three more
policemen, The Quartette of thief
takers remained at the house all night.
intending if the burglar came back to
give him warm reception aud if pos
Slble capture him.

W. G. TUssNGR SUICIDES.
His Former Large Marble and
Mosaic Work in st. Paul.

Special to the Globe.
SALTWATER, Oct. 2.-Coroner Fre-
ligh received message from Forest
Lake yesterday requesting him to come
there on the first train. When he
reached White Bear he learned that w.
q. Tussner, resident of st. Paul, had
committed suicide in his summer home
in Forest Lake by shooting himself
through the head. Very little could be
learned of the affair other than that
TuSSner was tile manufacturer resid-
ing in st. Paul. 1t seems that he had
been i'll for some time, and his illness
caused dependency, and later insanity.
The deed was committed while Tussner
had one of his insane spells.
LEARNED IN ST. PAUL.
Two or three years ago Mr.. Tussner
did great amount of Venetian marble
mosaic work in this city. He laid the
fancy flooring of the foyer of the Metro
polltan opera house. and did similar
work in many of the large buildings and
residences of this city. His work ex-
tended TO Minneapolis, Duluth, Tacoma,
Seattle, Portland, Milwaukee, San
Francisco and many of the larger towns
and cities in the Northwest. He con-
Quoted large establishment in the old
skating rink at the corner of Tenth and
Jackson streets, and employed $50
hands in fine work. He was then
large importer of vari-colered
stones to be used in mosaic flooring
and payings. He also made number
of pictures for residences of the same
material. AS sample of work he made
a picture of the Mayfilower and the
landing of the Pilgrims in marble mo-
saIc to send to the Columbian fair. In
the midst of prosperous business, he
couple of years ago began to act
strangely, and his business was so neg
lected that he made an assignment.
This was little over year ago. About
that time he attempted suicide by shoot
ing himself in one of his frenZies. The
ball struck his head and glanced off,
making a bad wound from which
he seemed to recover i'll a few
days. At the time he denied
any attempt at suicide, and said he had
discharged his revolver accidentally,
and it struck some object and bounded
against his head. Soon after that he
lett the city, and mas since been residing
in Minneapolis. Mr.. Tussner was a
Russian, and claimed to be a refugee
who had TO fly from his native country.
He was an Intelligent man in his ra-
tlonal moments, and talked in an enter
tanning manner on varionS subjects.
Before his trouble in this city he seemed
to live happily with his family. and had
the appearance of good business man.

COLD-BLOoDED MURDER.
Wife of New York Officer Shot
Another Woman


NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Just in the front
room of the upper fiat of No. 215 East
Eighty-slxth street tonight lay the body
of "a beautiful blonde, thirtY-three
years of age, who had been shot in
the hallway on the street floor,
shortly after 4o'clock. The dead wom-
an had pretty face and fine figure.
She was a down-East girl, yet her
face had German cast, more of a
pretty, tempting vitality than of intel
lectual force. She was the wife
of John Pearsall, an officer of the
Eighty-siXth street police, to whom she
had been married about sixteen years;
and the story of her tragic death is
briefly told. About 4 o'clock a
fine-looking, dark-complexioned woman
walked nervously up and down in front
of Mrs. Pearsall's residence. At AIS
O'Clock the people who lived in the
second floor heard Mrs. Pearsall go
down stairs. They heard her open the
front Goor and then heard four pistol
shots in rapid succession.
Mrs. Pearsall lived only fifteen min
gtes. Meanwhile her assailant walked
around tue corner and up to the Eighty
eighth street police station. 1t was pay
day. and there were a number of
sergeants and men IN the room.
She calmly stepped up to the desk,
and, addressing Sergeant Dean, who
was on duty, said: ~ have shot Mrs.
Pearsall. on Eighty-sixth street, and

The Grand Jury a Panacea.

The grand jury is in session, and to
any one who lis on' the sudden
disappearance of the ''sure thing" men,
confidence operators and ''grafters"
from the principal street corners is
easily explained. Orders have been
issued from headquarters" for the
gang to lay quiet until after the
session is over, aud even the protected
Joints" are doing no business. AS
one of the ''steerers'' expressed himself
yesterday suckers" are plenty, but we
can't turn wheel until after the grand
jury is discharged"
If it is possible for the mayor to have
his subordinatess Issue orders which
will stop the swindlers from preying on
strangers and residents during sessions
of the grand jury, the question natur-
ally arises why the order cannot be
made permanent.

Unconditional Repeal Of the

Adjusting the Differences for
a Satisfactory Bill.

Purchase and Coinage
DURING cLEKELARD'S TERM
Special to the Globe

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. To-day
the capital was full of rumors regarding
a compromise. 1t is now said propo-
sitiOn is being considered which in
wolves tariff revision. The proposition
to compromise by amending the repeal
bill so it will not take effect until 1895
is unsatisfactory to Republican repeal
ers. who declare they will not support
such amendment or vote for the bill
with such proyIso. Uncondi tional re
peal is almost universally conceded to
be impossible and there is no doubt but
the Democratic leaders OF the repeal
movement with Mr.. Cleyeland's con-
sent, are engaged in an effort to arrive
at some sort of compromise.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 2.-While there is
not so much surface talk concerning
the probabilities of an early adjustment
OF the differences among senators over
the repeal bill the work has not ceased
by any means. 1t is understood that
the work is confined almost exclusively
TO the Democratic side. Senator Faulk
ner, who has from tine first taken lead
ing part in the settlement, said today
that next week would witness an
adjustment on the differences.
and that a bill would be agreed
upon which would be satisfactory
10 the Democratic party and which
would pass the senate. He thought
this would be accomplished between the
9Th and 18th. He adheres 10 his amend
ment as the best basis for compromise.
The repeal men are making strong
effort to have the time at which the
purchase and coinage of silver shall
cease, reduced to one or two years. In
case this should be done, and bill
brought in reducing the amount to be
purchased and providing for the stop
page of the purchase altogether at any
time before the 4th of March. 1897. it
would meet with opposition from the
senators from silver-producing states.
They say it would simply postpone
the, to them, evil day. They would
have no hope of securing legislation
favorable to silver while Mr.. Cleveland
remains president. If the time should
be extended beyond Cieveland's term
Of office they might possibly consent.
There are some indications OF dis
position to weaken in tue effort to couple
bond issue provision with the present
bill because of the difficulty OF securing
the acquiescence of majority of Dem
ocralic senators and OF the consequent
impossibility of reaching an agreement
on party measure.
The feature will not be surrendered
as long as there is any chance of putting
it through.

WHITE HOUSE SCENE.

Conference Between Cleveland,
Carlisle, Lamont and German.
New YORK, Oct. 2-The Washington
correspondent OF the Daily America
telegraphs his paper that he has ''inside
Information" as TO the condition of af-
fairs relating to the financial questions
under discussion and, in demonstration
of the accuracy of his information, tells
the following story of a scene at the
White house which occurred last Thurs
day night:
The Democratic senator's" says the
correspondent, ''principally at the in
stignation of Senator German. had
promised to refrain from filibustering.
Even Senator Teller had voluntarily
said that he would not flibusteI, after
full discussion of the subject had
taken place. The situation was really
delightful Tor the friends of repeal,
when it was found that Senator Stewart
and about ten other Republican senators
were determined to filibuster anyway.
The Southern Democrats then set
about to seek some little concession.
They felt they could not insist upon a
vote unless this was given.
As they were about ready to formu-
late the concession that they would pre-
sent TO the president, Mr.. Clevelaud's
letter TO Gov. Northen made its appear
Rnce i'll the public prints. and this COM
pletely changed the situation. The
Southern men became highly indignant.
Senator Cockrell began prepara-
tion for speech; Senator Daniel
began to prepare a second one,
and Senator Pugh also start
ed one, and is now at work upon It.
Senator Morgan made up his mind that
he would speak. The intention to fill
buster on the Democratic side became
as pronounced as on the Republican
side among the silver men. Then it was
that the chances became so doubtful
that compromise talk began. Senator
German has always held that it would
not be safe to enact any silver legisla-
tion until the gold reserve in the treas
ury could be strengthened
Whatever concession was to be made
to the silver men 1t was not to go any
further than the Faulkner amendment.

bullion and the purchase of other silver
so as to maintain a silver circulation not

This was the precise condition of
affairs on Thursday night. The presi-
dent understood It, and he summoned
Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont to the
White house in order to talk over with
them the situation in the senate. AS

Mysterious Handling of a Man

After Being Arrested.
Saturday afternoon young man who
since his advent iu st. Paul, some two
weeks ago, has been known as Charles
Pagan was taken in custody by mem
ber of the detective force and walked
to the Office of the chief of police. After
half an hours talk he departed, but
late Saturday night was arrested
by Chief of Detectives McGinn and
locked up at the central station
charged with vagrancy. Two hours
afterward he was released on orders
from the chief of police. friends agree
ing to be in court Monday morning to
answer any charges against him.
Pagan did not show up at the morning
session, but at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Chief of Detectives
McGinn had the name Joseph Marks,
charged with vagrancy, placed on the
tab in the police court. There was no
appearance when the man was called,
and the judge ordered McGinn sent for.
McGinn stated TO the court that the
prisoner had not shown up, and for
this reason asked that the case be
dismissed. There being no other alter
native the court ordered this DISPOSE
ton. Pagan, since his arrival in St.
Paul, has been accompanied by Paul

who are acquainted with the trio say
Fagan's arrest was in the nature of
''shake down." but that it did not pan

considerable, and that both sides must

Winking at Crime.

st. Paul seems to be the Mecca for
gamblers and thugs" just at present,
and the police have poor success in cap
turing the fellows. Robberies, "hold-
ups" ETC., occur daily and the guilty
persons usually escape. The GLOBE and
News are severely roasting the mayor
and reform administration for not putting
stop to so much crime. To an outsider
1t seems that the police force is either
incompetent or else ready TO "wink'' at
crimes of various kinds. At any rate,
they seem powerless to put stop to so
much lawlessness.
