JACOB LrTfG.
The autopsy was held yes tsrday, but
che full bill of particulars Is not yet ready
for the public. II Is learned. however,
that the skull of the dead laster was not
broken, as at first stated, but that death
was the result Of conoussion of the brain,
caused by some blunt instruments in the
hands of parties unknown to the police.
Further than this nothing can be learned,
but it is just possible that the police know
something more than they care to talk
about
The autopsy was held IN the barn Of
Ernest Wignot, the nearest building to the
cemetery, and 1t was conducted by Medi-
cal Examiners Adams of Framingham and
HodgJon of Dedham. There were also
present DIR. Bancroft Of South Natick,
Detective Bean and Messrs. Foster and
Kennedy of the locat police.
Littig, the murdered LIAM, was found In
two counties-Norfolk and Middlesex--
which fact accounted for the presence of
the two medical examiners. The head and
part of the body were In Wellesley and
the feet were in Natick.
This was q curious incident, and ~ first
It was thought IL would complicate mat
ters, but It has been decided that the crime
was committed in Norfolk county.
The deed was brutal and cowardly, aud
all things point to the conclusion that the
perpetrator laid in wait for his victim, and
that it was done for revenge alone, as
nothing Ia known to have been stolen from
the body.
The Saturday and Sunday papers state
that his purse was gone. and that It had 81
in it at the time he was last seen. The
purse was found In bis pocket empty, but
no one can say positively that there was
money in IL when he left the house of Mr..
Fritz Butchmann on River street, not so
yards from where be was found murdered.

THE BRIDGE TO CUBA.

Now and then there comes to the sur
face of the sea of public comment
proposition to annex the island of Cuba
to our domains. Usually this precedes
or accompanies one OF those revolutions
in which its citizens have been accuS-
toned 10 indulge themselves, less with
desire to accomplishments of release from
the Spanish yoke, as they term it, than
to crafty an innate desire for a row
which will involve more or less blood
letting, which seems to be thoroughly
ingrained in the people whose fortune
it is to be born and live within our equa-
torial limits.
Sometimes these proposals come from
the chiefs engaged in the Instruction,
and again are the suggestions of persons
interested financially in Cuban bust
ness, who find profits endangered by
the general instability of peace. There
was time when the South looked with
longing eyes on the island. That was
when the race between the North and
the South was for the admission of
states, slave or free, and when it was
esteemed essential that the ad mission
of free state should be Offset by that
of one enjoying the advantages of
slavery. But with the disappearance of
slavery the South lost interest in Cuban
annexation, and it only comes forward
when dearth Of other matters gives
speculation chance for hearing.

of Spain that '''rime and are one." If

Enterprise Which Must Be APP

[Chicago Inter Ocean. Oct. H.
1t would not be fair to the press of
Minnesota to dismiss the celebration
without reference to the special expo
stion edition of the st. Paul GLOBE.
That enterprising newspaper of the
Twin Cities issued sixteen pages devot-
ed exclusively to the fair, and distrib-
uted thousands of copies among those
who visited the Minnesota building yes
terday. The GLOBE certainly displayed
much enterprise, which must be appre-
ciated by the people of the great North
west. 1t gives complete and concise
history of its state and OF the exposition.
Probably the most pleasant feature of
the great edition. which is profusely
illustrated, is that column i'll which is
given proper credit to those ladies and
gentlemen who have labored so inces-
sanity to make the state exhibit the sue
cess it is.

Along with Minnesota day and the fog
at the fair ST. Paul people had the
pleasure of seeing the st. Paul DAILY
GLOBE in its special Minnesota day edi-
ton of twenty-four pages. The papers
were diStribted rs mem entoes of the day
at the fair. The contents of the special
edition were of particular interest to all
Minnesota visitors. First came the ac-
count of the rise or Minnesota and of
the day when the state was admitted to
the Union. Then brief account of
previous worlds fairs, followed by page
aud half account of the Minnesota
building dedication May II. Mime
sofa in the different departments at the
worlds fair occupies several pages, and
the part the women of the state took is
written up for over page. Politics
and state institutions are also told
about. The edition is fully illustrated
with worlds fair and state scenes and
portraits of leading men and women OF
Minnesota. The illustration features
start with an eight-column picture of
Minnesota greeting all nations and
bidding them welcome to the worlds
fair. The Minnesota building at the
fair also appears Oh the trout page.
Scenes from the fair, the grand basin.
statue of the republic. fisheries and
transportation buildings, ETC., are on
the second page. On the third appears
an interior view of the Minnesota
building and the exhibition hall. In
connection with this appear extracts
from Chicago papers on the dedication
of the building. On the next pages are
pictures of the horticultural exhibit, the
forestry exhibit, the administration
building, the woman's building, the art
palace. the educational exhibit of the
state, and birds eye view of the fair.
The south basin and the agricultural
exhibit complete the pictorial part of
the first eight pages. As centerplece
to the second part appeared group OF
Minnesota women who did their share
to help the state exhibits. Then fol-
lowed the Minnesota pavilion in the
agricultural building, the electricity
building and the state capitol. The
DAILY GLOBE building in st. Paul, the
agricultural building and the liberal
arts building, the government and hor-
ticultural buildings, and men who made
the state exhibit follow. The GLOBE
people are justly proud of their

iNVESTIGaT ING THE GLOBE
BUREAU.

The action of the assembly in direct
ing Mr.. Reardon TO investigate the
GLOBE Detective bureau. and ascertain
how and at what expense it is con-
Quoted, was a move in the right direc-
ton.
Mr.. ReardoE's request, which was
granted, to empower him with authority
TO send for persons and papers, gives
him the power To make mis- inquiry
thorough and effective.
The Globe Detective bureau courts
investigation. bat insists that the in
Quiry should be extended to all depart
mentS of the city government.
The GLOBE bureau, we are happy TO
say, is not connected with the city gov
ernmtnt; we should be ashamed of it,
il it were.
We trust. however, the city authori-
ties will be equally ready to be investi-
gated.

ing portion of the bridge to Cuba which
has been patiently building since the
morning stars sang together. and Cuba
will be attached to the United States by
the Junctare with her shores of the
Florida peninsula. The law of accre-
ton is as good between nations as indi-
vlduals, and the soil that will thus be-
come attached to this country would be-
long to it. There is no need at this time
of celebrating the peculiar legal phase
of the case, as international law may un-
dergo material notifications before the
completion of the bridge which VIII call
for its application.
But While the time when the arm this
country is extending gradu ally but
surely toward Spain's pearl of the Car
ibbean will reach it is remote. there is
no question of the fact. There was a
time when Florida had no existence
Ages ago the Gulf stream swept into
the Atlantic above where the st. Johns
river now empties into the ocean. Ever
since then the builders have been cease
leSSly at work building the foundations
or the bridge to Cuba, laying them OH
the bed of the sea and building them up
to the surface. When one foundation
was completed another one was begun
at an advanced point and the process
repeated. Countless myriads of these
builders of the great bridge find in it
their daily toll, their life's work, and
leave its progress legacy to their nu-
mer0uS progeny.
The geology of Florida shows that
this is no idle speculation. and affords
proof of the continuous construction of
the bridge to Cuba. The coral insects
have built the foundation of what there
Is now of Florida, and the reefs at the
southern extremity afford the proof that
the work is still iii progress. Behind
these reefs. under their lea, the waters
of the Gulf stream will bring and de-
post the material it gathers in its
course. Remains of fish and aquatic
fowl and shells and drift will gradually
build up the space between the reef and
the land, ami vegetation will grow and
die and form soil, land another section of
the great bridge will be laid. Against
the outside the waters will slowly shoal
move out aud begin another foundation.
huS this building has gone on until
there are four distinct foundations COM
pleted, with the filling made, and the
present Florida Keys are but the fifth
line now at the waters surface, and the
filling-in process is in progress. The
steps in this growth have been from
reefs to keys. and keys to mainland.
He would be rash man who would at
tempt to assign date to the beginning
of the first reef, or to count the ages
which elapsed before it became a key
and then part OF the mainland; and he
would be equally rash who would fore
cast the date when men can march dry
shod from the United States into Cuba;
but unless Donnelly's comet comes
along again to upset everything, the
work of the coraIs among the rest, there
is a positive certainty that some day
there will be completed the great bridge
to Cuba.

MinneSOta's Celebration Seen
Through Chicago Glasses.

Chicago Herald.
just thirty-SiX years ago yesterday
Minnesota adopted the constitution of
a full-1edged commonwealth. Her
celebration on the fair grounds yester-
day was an anniversary milestone in
her rapid progress toward the front
rank of statehood. Not less than 20
600 of her 1,5O0,0OO population came
down to the White city and helped to
celebrate Minnesota day. They poured
in from the Dnal city up by the banks
of the Mississippi, from the Zenith
city of the unsalted seas" and the
other phenomenal cities and towns that
are the pride of the state. Not only
these, but the bone and sinew of the
farming community mingled with the
crowd and helped to make Minnesota
day one of the biggest state celebrations
of the season.
Minnesota gained special recognition
yesterday for the heartness with which
her celebration was conducted. She
brought an entire regiment of her ma
tional guard-the Third infantry-to
the fair, and, with music and gaylv
capariS oned officers On horseback, eS-
cOrted her governor and party about
the grounds. The most modest man of
the party was Gov. Nelson himself. He
wore Derby hrt and looked bored
when a photographer insisted on set
of cameras during the liberty bell cere-
monies. Another figure that the crowd
liked for his democratic ways was ex-
Gov. Ramsey, once secretary of war and
famous in other federal positions. 9th
er eX-gOvernors were in the party, and
there were state officers galore. The
state is rich in orators, too, and the
speechmaking in Festival hall was of
high order.
As for decorations, nothing equal to
Mlnnesota'S dress for her pretty state
building has been seen since the states
began to celebrate. The commission
spent $4,000 OH the interior decorations
alone, and there was not yard of bunt-
ing used-nothing but pure silk and
satin. In the main reception room the
highest figure piece was a portrait of
Columbus. fianked by the national col
ors. Below this was a gilt eagle with
American flags holding the presidents
flag. On either side were the Spanish
colors, with special niche for Russia.
Over the archways leading to other
rooms were gilt eagles, with the ma
tional coiors interviewer with Smilax
aud roses.
Around the main room were banners

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has been in

on Columbus day-the closing day of
the great eXposition-and it is believed
that he will accept the invitation. If he
shall do so, the last will be as great a
day as the first, when, by touching an
electric button, the president set the
wheels in Machinery hall in motion,
and caused thousand flags to unfurl
simultaneously and flutter in triumph
over the great achievement. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Cleveland. as we'll as
other dignitaries of the government,
will be present on the last day of the
