The Assassins Detected.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 16.-
The negro, Mansfield Washington,
under arrest at Baton Rouge, has
described fully tho circumstances
under which Prof. Won Hofe was
assassinated. 1t was near Burn
side where he was held up by the
robbers about ten days ago. Dave
johnson, also a negro, and Wash
ington, are the guilty parties.
Johnson shot Won Hofe deliberate
ly, while the latter was pleading
for his life. After escaping from
Burnside, the negroes proceeded
up the road to Baton Rouge,
and a couple of days later
waylaid and murdered Levee
Contractor Kane and robbed him.
They intended to continue as high
way robbers, but were run down
by the officers. The men are held
in steel cages in Baton Rouge for
safety, and will not be taken back
to Ascension, because they would
be lynched. Their arrest and
confession created intense indigna-
ton in the section where the crime
was committed, and threats are
being made to take the darkies out
and string them up.

Price: SIS a Year.
To Capture the Ell Cid.

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-Since Min
lister Mendonca, OF Brazil, arrived
in New York he has been in fire.
quent consultation with Capt. Ba-
ker, of Ed, and Capt. Crossman, of
the Britannia. After the first con-
ference Instructions were given on
the two vessels to enforce strictly
the regulation refusing admission
on board to all but workmen and
those holding passes. Since then
even employees have been gues-
toned closely, and today it was
learned that the list of officers and
men engaged, or to be engaged, is
being revised, and that no man
will be shipped on either of the
reer as a seaman and whose affilia-
tiOnS on land are not well known
to Capt. Baker and Capt. Crossman.
simultaneously it has become
known that President Piexoto's
representatives in this country
have been informed that MellO
sympathiZers in New York have
Oeen taking or plan TO snip as
many of Hello's men in the crew
of FL Cid as possible. 1t is said
that these representatives Of the
rebel Admiral are endeavoring to
get any position possible on FL Cid,
and that they hoped to have
force strong enough to seize the
Brazilian flagship at sea and turn
her over to Mello in the Port Of
Rio JaneirO.
Although Capt. Baker would not
admit today that he had any fears
of mutiny on board, there was
plenty of evidence of this both on
board of FL Cid and at Quail's
shipping office, corner of South
street and Old Slip, that unusual
precautions are being taken in the
selection of a crew.

ment was started in this city to-

The Queens Movements.

LONDON, Nov. l6.-The Queen is
to leave Balmoral either today or
tomorrow, and will then reside at
Windsor Castle until about Deem
Der 20, when the court is to pro-
coed to Osborne for two months.
Her Majesty will go abroad just
before Easter, but nothing has yet
been settled as to this foreign trip,
and the stories about villas hav-
ing been inspected on her be-
half at San Sebastian and Flor
ence are mere inventions. The
Queens private apartments in Vic
toria Tower, Windsor Castle, have
been re-decorated during the last
few weeks from designs selected
by her majesty and Princess Bea-
trice. The Queen has always oc-
cupied this suit of rooms, and the
next set was appropriated to the
use of Prince Albert, since whose
death they have been reserved by
the Queen, and everything in them
remains precisely as he left them,

The Cardinal Will oficiate.

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-Miss Eliza
beth Elkins, daughter of cX-Srcrc-
tary Elkins, and f. Bruner will be
the first couple to be married in st.
Patrick's Cathedral, New York, by
a Cardinal. The wedding is to
take place today, and Cardinal
Gibbons will otficiate, assisted by
Archbishop Corrigan. An inter-
esting feature of this note
worthy match is the adoption of
the Roman Catholic faith by Miss
Elkins. She has been receiving
her instruction in the faith from
Cardinal Gibbons, who is a person
al friend of Mr.. Elkins. IL Miss
Elkins had not become a Catholic
special dispensation from the
Pope for the marriage would have
been necessary, and there could
have been no nuptial mass. The
wedding ceremony will necessarily
be one of the grandest solemnized
in the majestic cathedral.

President, A. H. Allen.

Financial secretary, John Rudberg.

A speech was made by James Nor
row, of ST Paul, the state organizer
for the national association.
The association starts out with a
good membership. Another meeting
will be held as soon as the charter ar
rives. The ASSOCIATION does not pro-
pose to ask for shorter hours at the
present time, but intends to try 20
educate the people into making their
purchases in the day time instead of
in the evening. If this can be done,
it is felt that the business men would
be glad to close their stores in the
evening. Over year ago the grocers
and meat markets agreed to close at
eight o'clock for year. The agree
ment was lived up to and was so sue
cessful that it has been continued.
More people trade at grocery stores
and meat markets than anywhere
else, and If they can successfully
adapt early closing, all other stores
ought to be able to do the same.

ONE TRAIN LESS.

After tomorrow morning the pas
senger train leaving this city at 100
a. m. for St. Paul will be discontinue
ed. The train has heretofore re-
turned at S:45 p, m. Hereafter
there will be but one train going to
the Twin Cities in the morning and
one returning in the evening. The
reason given for the change is that
traffic has so fallen off since the
financial stringency began that the
train is Improbable. This train was
a great convenience to our people and
it will be missed. 1t is to be hoped
that circumstances will permit of it's
being restored in the fall. The road
is ecOnomiZing wherever possible,
which is what every other corpora
tion is doing. yet no salaries have yet
been reduced.

THE BANKS.

Numerous holders of certificates of
deposit on the various banks have Wis
tied them during the past day or
two and promised not to disturb their
accounts. 1t is expected that the
others will do likewise, and if this is
done the banks will have no trouble
in resuming within a few days.
Bank Examiner Stringer will proba-
bly, complete his examination of the
National Citizens bank today. Bank
Examiner Brush has more on his
hands in looking over the affairs of
the First National and MankatO Ma
tional banks, and it may be two or
three days before he completes his
task. Their examinations have con-
firmed the expectations of these gen
tlemen that they would find the banks
in good condition.
The Mankato Savings bank is doing
an increased amount of business. The
genial and accommodating cashier, ]
G. Cotton, has his hands full.

KEEP YOUR MONEY AT,HOME.

Our merchants and citizens should
bear in mind that dollar spent at
home these times may be the means
OF causing it to circulate and cancel
a good many debts Anything that
can be purchased al home should be
bought here, instead of sending
away for it. In this way our local
prosperity is increased. Mankato
has in its midst numberless establish
ments like the knitting mills,
mills cement works, oil mill, Touring
whole sale groceries, candy facUor-
les, etc., that ought to have good
home patronage. And especially
would we call attention to the new
cracker factory which has been run
ming but few months, and impress
upon the people the Importance of
standing by. the new enterprise, and
help make it success. Like all other
new institutions it takes some time
to get it established and in perfect
running order. 1t has been unfortu-
nate in putting some goods upon
the market that were not perfect, but
this trouble has been corrected and
it's output is now first-class in every
respect.
Our merchants ought to carry moth
ing but Mankato crackers, and induce
their customers to use them exclusive
lY, as they are now as fine crackers as
are on the market.
This firm is paying out from $3.50
to $500 per week for help, and this
finds it way into the trade of the city,
and helps add to- our prosperity, and
the factory in return is entitled to
the best of treatment from our peo-
pie, and especially so because of the
high grade of goods it now makes.
Ask your grocer for Mankato crackers
and show your loyalty to the city's in
terest by insisting upon having them,
and so keep the money that would
otherwise 60 abroad at home.

THE BANK SITUATION MONDAY.

E. c. Stringer, of st. Paul, who was
appointed to examine into the con-
dition of the local national banks,
arrived in the city yesterday. Col. c..
a. Brush, of Fergus Falls, who was
bank examiner under President Har-
rison but who gave place to another
under the present administration, ar
rived last night to assist Mr.. Stringer.
The latter is at work in the National
Citizens bank and Col. Brush is at
work in the First National and Man
kato National banks. No figures are
to be ascertained at present, nor is
anything known definitely as to when
the banks will reopen. Perhaps by
tomorrow some information may be
obtainable From what can be CLEAN
ed on the outside the situation seems
to be brightning.
A telegram from the Bank ofAmboy
contains the information that that
bank has not suspended, as was
rumored Saturday. This will be pleas
ing information to all, and proves
that the Amboy bank is on firm
foundation. The depositors could
not have their money in safer place.
A telegram from G. d. Williams &
Co., of Gilmore, Mimi, states that all
checks drawn by the Gilmore bank on
the First National bank of Mankato
will be paid in New York exchange or
cash.
There was report on the streets
today that one of the ST. Peter banks
had closed. A dispatch from there
this afternoon states that the report
is false and that the banks are all
right.
The bank examiner has ascertained
that the assets of the First National
bank exceed the liabilities $3.50, 900.
This is a splendid showing and if there
is anybody who has not had confidence
this should certainly restore it. There
is no stronger bank anywhere.
