bered about $50 nearly evenly divided
between Minneapolis and St. Paul and
tho Midway citizens, who acted as hosts.
Those, from Minneapolis went down in
an interurban car starting from Mime.

season. The banquet was an imposing
affair and after it's just discussion the
crowd turned it's attention to the
speeches which were both numerous and
witty. The occasion, calling together as
it did, representative men from both
cities, could not help be productive OF
rattling grinds and witty illusions, and
though the banquet was dry, barring an
.innoffensive punch, there have never been
heard better or reader speeches than
we're delivered to the edi6cation OF those
in attendance. Among the speakers were
s. B. Hall, president Of the Minneapolis
Press club, Rev. John Conway, presiding

ceiver of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan Company, has brought suit against
the Minneapolis Realty Company and
Albert Hastings, the assignee. The plain
tiff demands Judgment, that all lands
held by Hastings assignee be held for the
creditors Of the Guaranty Loan COM
pany, and that he be required to convey
the same to the plaintiff for the creditors.
The lands in questions were 4,240 acres
in Anoka county, owned by James T.and
Lizzie EIwell, who, in January 1890, bor-
rowed Of the Guaranty Loan company
$29, 600 and s., 600 in separate loans. In
April 80, T.. F. Menage assigned the
mortgage to the Minneapolis Realty
company, who foreclosed the mortgage
the same year, bidding IN the large 1000
acre tract ct sheriff sale for $37, 76421.
The complaint alleges that the Mime
apolis Realty Company was organized by
il. r. Menage, and consisted virtually OF
the ofiicerp Of the Guaranty Loan Com
pany, which forms the basis Of the de-
mand that the land be turned over for
the Guaranty Loan cred tors. The case

THE SERGEANT'S GUN.

He Used 1t When Had lie to With Deadly
Efect-George Kennedy Killed at st.
Louis While viciousIy AssaultiDg Police
Sergeant Woodlock in Resisting Arrest.
ST. LOUIS, May S-At z. a. m Police
Sergeant Woodlock shot and killed
George Kennedy, foreman OF the
Townsend Feed Co.
Kennedy was resisting arrest at the
time, and both men were struggling on
the ground when the fatal shot was
fired Kennedy's body was taken to
the morgue, where it was identified by
friends.
According to Sergt. Woodlocks story
he was near the junction of Page and
Easton avenues, in the western part of
the city, when he heard what he
thought were woman's cries Then
he heard voices and saw two men APP
preaching with two women. Getting
behind a treebox he awaited develop
ments. One of the men, Woodlock
says, who subsequently turned out to
be Kennedy, was talking in a rather
loud and boisterous manner and
threatening to kill the first policeman
who Interfered with him.
THE ARREST AND SHOOTING.
As the party approached him Wood
lock says he stepped out from behind
the tree box and confronted Kennedy,
asking him what he meant by such
talk At the same time he passed his
hand to Kennedy's rear pockets and
found, he claims, that he was armed.
He then told him to consider himself
under arrest.
To this Kennedy demurred, and at
once showed fight The two men Crap
pled and Kennedy threw the officer, it
is claimed, on pile of macadam in the
street, landing on top of Woodlock.
Then Kennedy began to beat him over
the ehead and face with stones Wood
lock tussled with him, and finally sue
ceeled, he says in turning him over.
Kennedy, however. secured stran-
gle hold on Woodlocks neck and, pull
ing his face down to him, fastened his
teeth in his cheek and began to chew it.
Seeing that he would be overcome
soon in that position Woodlock drew
his revolver and shot his antagonist,
killing him almost instantly. The
companions of Kennedy meanwhile
had disappeared.
Sergt. Woodlock is said to have been
very roughly handled, and to be in a
serious condition. He has a most ex-
cellent record as an officer, and has
tie reputation of being very patient.

DRIFTING TO DEFEAT.
The Certain Downfall of the DIscordant
Democracy.

Il
Democracy.
"The one point on which all critics
agree mouInfully observes one OF the
principal administration organs, is
that theX1eUocrat tic party is drifting to
certain defeat" This candid admis-
sion is the basis of q solemn warning
TO the leaders that they must soon
show a better order of craftsmanship
OF all chance Of success either this year
or two yearn hence will be miserably
lost The party is really in condi-
ton of chaos, so far as relates to all
important questions and purposes. A
process of disorganization is at work
which means that nothing but mis-
fortune is to be expected. If the
country has changed its mind" this
disturbed organ goes on to say, about
the principles enunciated in the Chi
cago platform, the party cannot do
much better thar wait till the logic OF
events has demonstrated their sound
ness" But if it waits, it is as sure to
be beaten as if it plunges ahead 1t
has given promises that 1t must at
least make an effort to keep; it has en-
tered upon a policy which it must
carry out, or confess itself an organized
fraud The situation could not easily
be worse, all things considered. There
is lack Of harmony on every pending
issue, and nobody seems TO know how
the many differences of opinion and
preferences are to be adjusted, or what
is likely to be the final result Of all the
wrangling.
III il impossible to see how party
thus divided against itself can get itself
together in any practical and effective
sense. The causes of conflict are not
accidental or superficial; they pertain
to matters of fundamental Importance
for the most part There are various
factions that are even more antag-
onistic to each other than they are to
the republicans. These inharmonious
elements cannot be united upon any
| basis broad enough to accommodate so
many opposing views and prejudices

vorite aversions, which 1t is not at all
inclined to surrender or to modify for
the sake Of peace. This has been APP.
parent ever since the beginning of the
present administration, and the fact
becomes more pronounced every day.
1t is all very well to say that 1t is the
duty of all members of party to sub
ordinate special wishes and sentiments
to the demands OF general necessity and
expedience; but there Is no way to en-
force such doctrine against those who
refuse to abide by it. That is why the
democratic difficulty is not likely to be
settled, but rather to grow more seri-
Gus as time passes The conditions are
all favorable to continuance of the
trouble, as anyone can readily under
stand who intelligently considers them
1t is not to be supposed that the lead
ers will find way to restore harmony
when the enmities are so bitter, and
the clash Of rival interests is so vital.
The outlook is plainly and altogether
such as makes republican success a
foregone conclusion next fall and in
1895; and the democrats have them
selves principally to blame that such i
the case. st. Louis Globe Democrat

RESCUED ALIVE.

Seven Tourists Imprisoned In a Stalactite
Cave at Souraich Austria, by Sudden
Rise of Water, Since April 90, Rescued
Alive Though Terribly Frustrated
Through Nervous Strain - Emperor
Francis Joseph Wires Congratulations.
GRATz. May IA diver at 10:3o
o'clock this morning succeeded in
reaching the party of tourists who
have been imprisoned in the stalactite
cavern at Souraich since Saturday,
April IS, owing to sudden rise in the
water. The diver found all seven OF
the tourists alive. 1t was at first be-
lieved that eight persons were impris-
oned.
The rcscuers had a very difficult task
in making an opening.
When the debris had been cleared
away and all was ready. for the at
tempt Diver Fischer made successful
descent into the mouth of the cave.
When he reappeared he notified the en-
gineer that, although the tourists were
alive, they appeared like people
half bereft of reason, as the terrible
nervous strain to which they had been
subjected had almost driven them mad.
The tourists must have taken con-
siderable supply of provisions with
them when they went into the cavern
over week ago, as they still had, ac-
cording to the driver, a little bread
and cheese left, and they had some
candles burning.
The imprisoned tourists informed the
diver that they had passed through
period of most awful anxiety and ter
ror They had been able to hear the
attempts made to rescue them, but the
work seemed to progress SO slowly
that they had almost abandoned hope
The noise made by the explosions of the
dynamite cartridges had the effect OF
cheering up the imprisoned people,
although they were in danger Of be-
ing buried beneath falling rock.
Late in the afternoon the rescue was
completed Six of the tourists were
able to emerge from the cave unaided,
but the seventh was so exhausted that
he required assistance. Emperor
Francis Joseph was notified cf the
safety of the tourists and telegraphed
his extreme satisfaction.
