Steps Into an Elevator Shaft at
the West, and Falls to His
Death-His Wife Accidentally
Shot u Few Years Ago-Par-
ticulars OF the Latest OF the Sad
Affairs.
The West hotel was the scene of a
sad calamity yesterday forenoon. in
which young man lost his life. Mich
oils Ward, nineteen years old. and an
employe at the West for a number of
years, met instant death in the elevator
shaft at that hosiery about 10 o'clock
in the forenoon. Ward had charge of
the freight elevator. In an upward
journey he stopped the car at the sixth
fioOr-or believed he had done sO-and
stepped off for an instant TO speak to a
fellow employe. Meanwhile the ele-
vator noiScleSsy glided upward to the
floor above, and Ward, ignorant of this.
stepped back, as he supposed, into his
car, but instead fell down the shaft
cleaI to the basement. and lost his life.
The deceased was highly regarded by
Col. West. Coroner Spring was noti-
fed.
A GLOBE reporter visited the county
morgue yesterday afternoon and learned
something more about the unfortunate
young man. He was the son of Stan
dish Ward, residing al 90G Second street
east. Stretched out on slab laid the
young mans body, rigid in death. a
number OF ugly gasheS in the scalp and
through the skull were visible, through
which the brains were protruding.
The representative of this paper held
few minutes conversation with the
young mans father. He stated that the
family came to Minneapolis about four
years ago from Eureka, Kan, and that
Nicholas was his oldest son. He still
has left one son and two daughters, be-
sides second wife. He seemed heart
broken, and Wept in all affecting way at
the calamity that had overtaken him.
He Is soap maker i'll the employ of the

clared that he had indefinite plans as to
the funeral or interment of his son.

MINNEAPOLIS.
The CAPTURE Of Menage.

BY the action of the county board yes
terday in offering a reward of So, 600 for
the arrest and conviction of Lewis F.
Menage, the first genuine step has
ben taken towards clearing the
city of the foulest stain that has
ever besmirchcd its fair name.
1t was the least that justice and the vic
tins of his cupidity demanded, that he
should be made to face the conse-
quences of his wholesale and gigantic
swindleS, and if this end is accom-
pIished the city will find that it has
never made safer investment.
The arrest and conviction of Menage
will do more to restore the shaken credit
OF the city and reinstate confidence than
anything else, and i'll order to make the
work more sure and etfectual it would
be well for the share holders and others
Interested TO augment the reward by an
additional 5000.
The GLOBE was the first to agitate the
return of Menage, and that suitable
reward be offered for his Capture. and it
Is W til feeling of duty performed that
1t modestly considers itself Endorsed.

GUARANTY LOAN MIDDLE.
The Grand Jury Resumes Its In
Vestigation Today.

4OOd1.
Interest in the Northwe stern Guar
anty Loan company's affairs continue
undated. Yesterday CT J. Bartleson
declined to discuss the matter of his
correspondence with John H. Burke,
who has proven such "a burr in the
wool' of that company, whose des-
{ TIMES were presided over by Louis
F. Menage. Mr.. Bartleson was
Manages attorney, and averred
that his statements as to the soundness
OF the company were true when he
made them. AS to the worthless notes
of the company which had been placed
in circulation, Mr.. Bartleson said he
had no knowledge. He claimed also
that the directors were ignorant of their
existence, except those of them who
held official jobs. He thought that if
any of the bogus stuff ever showed ND
at any gathering of the directors it
must have slipped through sort OF
''unOeknownSt," as it were. rs
This morning the grand jury will set
its mill 10 grinding again, and ii ali re-
ports are true, the Guaranty Loan mud
die will furnish plenty of eriSt. This
viii grind out some additional indict-
ments, 1t is thought. The members of
the grand jury, so rumor alleges. are not
entirely harmonious in their views as to
the liability of those connected with
the company who held subordinate
positions. So far as the officers are
concerned, there is apparently over
whelming evidence as TO the commercial
paper against those officers who are
already carrying the onus OF indict-
menus. When express packages con-
tanning the doubtful paper would come
to the company'S office, Menage, the
he was away his lieutenant, William S.
Streeter, would perform the Office.

His mind was so daZed that he could
give no account of himself. About five
years ago he said ne fell off a train and
injured his hip.
Peter Berg was another unfortunate.
His habits were those of waIton expos

mental trouble came about from the
suspension of some bank in which he
had money. He was given home at
the Rochester asylum.
Information was likewise fled against

AChance to Break Even.

1t is stated on good authority that
Louis Menage has three trusted agents
in Minneapolis, who keep him posted on
all that transpIres in connection with
the Guaranty Loan swindle, and par
ticularly the action of the grand jury.
This goes to show that the willy Louis
has not lost any of the cunning or as
tuteness which stood by him so splen-
didly in his various financial schemes
Now, if the city, or the gentlemen in
terested in his capture, would only emu
late his enterprise, and set three men to
keeping tab on his movements, there
might be chance to break even.

baby show was declared opened, the
long row of seats behind ratings which
had been provided in Statuary hall were

WOOD PAVEMENT.
Form Which Is Success
frIl in Landau


full in London.
The jarrah and the kari, two hard
woods native to Australia, are being
largely used for paving carriageways in
England, and especially in London
where the heavy traffic is most trying
to the lasting qualities of pavements
says the New York Telegram. The
whole breadth of the road is first covered
with layer of cement concrete instead
OF sand, six inches deep and arched to
the necessary cOnveXity. On the top of
this the wooden blocks are laid. The
SlipperineSS after showers which the
hardness of the wood entails is remedied
by a sprinkling of sand. and in dry
weather the horse ShOd with fiat shoe
finds as good footing as on other pave
mentS.
These Australian woods are found to
last at least four times as long as the
wood heretofore used. The first cost of
paving a street with these blocks in
Melbourne ranges from 81. 16 per square
yard for karri to $40 for jarrah, which
does not include the concrete or the
cost of excavation, laying and grOuting.
Ii transportation were cheap enough,
the same payementS could be laid down
in this country for not much more
money, and it is suggested that most of
the vessels taking American product to
Australia would be glad to get cargoes
of kari or jarrah to bring back, and
would probably be willing to do it at
low rate
