ga Philadelphia Firm Beaten Out of
sNearly Half Million.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The theft
of $40, 900 from the Auer Incandes-
cent Light Company by Tyndale Pal
mer, former Philadelphia newspaper
man, in which he was joined by
hotelkeeper named Freitas, of Rio
JaneirO, has just been brought to
light. The company is owned solely
by A. O, Granger, the president, and
ex-senator Joseph GaZzam, vice presi-
dent. They formed the South Ameri-
can WelSbach Incandescent Light
Company and sent young Palmer to
Rio to boom the invention. He and
Fretas sold the patent rights for
$4,000 ip gold, and upon falmer's
return he reported the sale as having
been made for $780, 900, OF which $4,000
was expended in his salary, expenses
and commission. The theft was not
learned until two other men were sent
to Brazil on special mission, al
though reports had reached the ears
Of the company. Palmer was sent to
England to negotiate securities of one
of ex-senator CaSS' iron companies and
upon demanding higher commission
was dismissed. Palmer cannot be re-
tured fromEngland,b but action is be-
ing taken to recover sums which he eX-
pended IN buying farms for relatives.
The second trip was made to Brazil to
sell improvements on the original
Wiesback invention, which caused
the title to be changed to the Auer
company"

THE CAR DEAD.
Alexander II, of Russia, Dies Friday
Forenoon.

A cablegram was received by the r.
D. Hubbard Milling Co. Friday
announcing that the Gar of Russia
died at 11.01 o'clock Friday'forenoon.
The cablegram was dated at Moscow.
Alexander IL, the emperor of all the
Russias, has been sick for some months
and lately summoned specialists from
Berlin to attend him. He was adj
vised to spend the winter in warmer
climate, and had gotten as far as
Greece, intending to go to Crimea,
but had mot taken the latter trip on
account of the fear of the doctors that
he might not be able to stand it well.
The disease with which he was affiict-
ed was not definitely known, but was
thought to be Bright's disease of the
kidneys. 1t was given out by the ply
Sicians that there was no immediate
danger, but the absence of the daily
bulletins, posted when the Gar was
but slightly indisposed, led many to
believe that he was in serious con-
dition. His second son, George, who
has been living in the Caucasus
mountains for two years on account
of an affection of the lungs, was re-

clined, but it has been.feared that he
would be influenced by the war party
when he came into power, and would
take advantage of China's war with
Japan to gain more territory in the
Pamirs, which has long been in dis
pute. The correspondents may be ex-
pected to sight war clouds in. the east,
and fill the papers full of the trouble
that would ensue if the magazine in
Europe was touched off by a spark in
any direction.
The Car was an eminently peaceful
man, devoting his reign to the culti-
walton of the arts and industries, de.
veloping the resources of his vast
empire, and was idolized by his people.
He is the spiritual as well as the
political head of his subjects, and has
an immense personal influence over
them. His death will be severe
blow to Russia, and loss to Europe
and the world. He was a man of
powerful build, simple in his habits
cordial in his friendships, and was
warm friend of the United States.

STRIKES FROM THE SHOULDER.
The Good Thunder Herald Gets Back
at Its Democratic Neighbor, The
Review,

For good, straight, shoulder hits,
the vigorous young editor of the Good
Thunder Herald shows his ability.
The Mankato Revieao postmaster last
week attacked the Democracy of the
Good Thunder Herald postmaster, and
here is what our large avoirdupoise
nei hbor gets between the optics for
his nervousness:
In the first place we positively deny
the allegation that we are, or ever
were POpuliSt, our spirit and our
purposes have been utterly incOm-
patable with the objects of POpuliSm.
No Populist in the county can truth
fully say, we were ever in the least
associated with that platform favor
ing a Sub-treasury and land-loan
scheme, and the ReUieaC in making the
assertion does SO, knowing that we Bit
terly oppose the same. AS our pro-
fession of Democracy, we are free to
say that we have pOlled but two votes
for President, they both being for
Grover Cleveland. We have supported
the Democratic ticket because it's
platform of principles agreed with our
ideas. So far as the state and national
platform is concerned we stand upon
it's plank today and are ready to sup
port the same, but unlike the ReUieoO
we are not such an egotistical, mar
row-minded ass, as to think we must
tamely submit to having our princi-
plies battered, sold, and stolen away by
few piratical otfice-Seekers and still
support them. And now as to con-
sistency! Will Bro. Wise just imagine
himself back about Is months, and his
position on the mayorality fight, where
party lines were closely drawn. If so
he will readily perceive where he lost
many true Democrat patrons to his
paper and cannot but further see that
any effort of his toward bringing for
ward his pets, can but result in aiding
to their defeat, since his opposition to
Patterson means the opposition of
PatterSon's friends to anything he
wants. AS to his position regarding
the legislative candidates, he has as
yet, not said one word favorable to
them, and is at present clamOrlng not
for principle, but for policy. AS to his
claims that these candidates are
Democrats, review of the Populist
convention decidedly says, No! Mr..
Pratt is well known as a Populist.
Thos. O'ConnoE. makes the statement
that he stands on the Populist plank
with both feet. III. G. Howard,
formerly Republican, makes no con-
cessljn, but says he wants the votes of
parties regardless of party, and openly
proclaims that it is anything to get
there" Bro. Wise in flying their
names at his masthead or any Demo
GRAFT supporting them is showing no
more consistency or principle, and de-
cidedly less fealty to the Democratic
party than we who ignore the nomina-
tions entirely.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE 8. B.
REMARKS.

EDITOR FREE PRESS: In your issue
of Thursday is an article headed IAN
Uncalled For Snub.' which is so full
of Misrepresentation, both of myself
and the board of education, that |
cannot let it pass unnOticed.
You state in substance that COM
mittee appeared before the board
having in their possession a formid-
able petition signed by the parents of
the pupils concerning our school seS-
sion, and that said committee were
not treated courteOusly by the board,
and were denied respectful hearing
by the president of the board, etc.
Now for the facts. The gentlemen
named in your article were present.
AS far as | know, they had no fOrmid-
able petition; if they had, they failed
to make it known.
One of the High school scholars did
hand to the secretary of the board a
communication signed by twenty
three ci tiZens of the city. This COM
municatiOn was handed in after the
meeting had been in session some
time, and after the order of business
| under which such petitions and COM
munications could be received had
been passed. Among the rules of the
board which were adopted in 1882,
and have been in force ever since, is
this rule: cat all regular meetings
the following order of business shall
be observed, and no business shall be
taken up out of the regular order but
by unanimous consent, and without
debate"
After the regular order of business
had been disposed of, it was Sug-
geSted that this communication be
taken up and considered. There was
objection to it, and l ruled that under
our rules it could not be taken up
unless by unanimous consent. | sug-
gested however. that the Board could
vote to suspend the rules and then
take it UP out of regular order, but no
motion was made to do so. Motions
were made to try and force consider
alton of the matter referred to in the
communication without suspension
of the rules, and [ ruled all such mo-
tions out of order. And | believe |
was right in doing so. Now as to these
gentlemen not receiving courteous
treatment, and my denying them
respectful hearing, l feel confident
that this charge does not come from
any of these gentlemen themselves.
The Board did give them respectful
hearing, and listened for an hour to
their remarks, nor were they limited
as to time; nor prevented in any way
from giving full expression to their
views and their reasons therefor.
Had the communication been handed
in so as to have been in time for the
regular order of business it would
have been brought up and considered.
If the members Of the board do not
see fit to suspend the rules in order to
take business up out Of regular or
der / do not know by what authority
the president of the board can do so,
and / see no good reason for calling
his rulings arbitrary when he refuses
to allow the standing rules of the
board to be violated. If the members
who are in favor of one session want
ed the matter brought up why did
not they move to suspend the rules !:
they certainly could not expect one
opposed to one session to make such a

of their humber was absent.
AS to the charge Of diScOurteous
treatment of the committee. | think
when the public understand that
with no motion before the board and
after all the regular business was
through the board listened to them

beers of the board of any such charge.
