4 Vague Verdict.

st. Paul. March ia Minneapolis
ccIoner's jury returned n very vague and
non-committal verdict Saturday regard
ing the death of Mrs. Mary SChurmeier.
who died under peculiar circumstances
in the Lawrence saniteriCm, Minneapolis,
after she had submitted TO a surgical ope-
ration. The verdict reads as follows:
"We the undersigned jurors called to
IL Investigate the causes leading up to the
death of Mrs. Mary Schurneier, find
that the said Mrs. Mary Schumacher died
on March 16, 1854, death being due to
septic peritonitis, the result of a surgical
operation performed for the removal of
a uterine tumor."
About the only object attained by the
jury, a prominent st. Paul physician re-
marked, was to show that Mrs. Schur-
meier had died on March 16. The jury
made no recommendations, yet it left
a flavor of wrong. 1t stated that Mrs.
Schurmeicr died of blood poisoning, the
result of a surgical operation, yet did not
recommend the taking of any action in
the case by the county authorities. The
end is not yet, however, and prosecutions
will probably soon be begun.

London, March D.-This city has for

Saturday she changed her lodging, TAX

officers were sen to the house on Mary

had been so careful about was in the

court of the United States has once more
its legal quota of justices. ard the court
will soon take up and hear arguments N
those cases which it mas been desired

ar enough of these cases TO occupy the
attention of the court for more than a

believed that he will have recovered suf-
fCiently To be able to take his seat on
April =, or possibly a week earlier, as
the reports which have been received
fr'm him lately have been favorable.
The court has set the Indiana tax cases
for a hearing before a full bench on the
18th of March, though it is said to be
probable that the arguments in the case
will he heard whether Justice Jackson is
here or not, it being the desire of those

Cannot Crop the school Lands.

Sioux Falls, March 19.-County Su-
p]erintendent Hunt has received a let
ter from Maj. 7. II. Ruth, commissioner
of school lands, who writes that parties
who have leases for five years of the
school lands will not be disturbed in
their leases if the lands are sold, but
the commissioner says it has come to his
knowledge that parties who have leases
on these lands are putting them under
crop. This he says is a violation OF
the law passed by the last legislature,
and he says that the parties who are
found to be continuing this will be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the law.
As a matter of fact, most of those who
have eased lands have understood that
they had a right to put it under crop.
If the commissioners order is executed
II is sure to work much hardship upon
the farmers, who have already put much
of the land in crop this spring. They
understood that they had a right under
the terms of the lease to crop this land.

DA CANA ESCAPES.
The BraEiIian Insurgent and HIS
Officers Now Safe mt Sen.

OGicers Now Safe mt Sen.
Cory right, 1884, by Associated Press).
Rio Janeiro, March 10.-Judging from
the course of events here Ii rs thought by
impartial observers that the Portuguese
government does not intend to honor the
request mode upon it for the surrender
o. Admiral Da Cana. Da Cana took
refuge ON the Portuguese corvette Min
dello when the instruction collapsed.
President Peixoto demanded That the adj
miral and the officers with him be de-
livered into his hands. The Portuguese
minister declined to order the Portuguese
con mander to surrender the fugitive, and
yesterday afternoon the Mindello and the
Albuquerque, another Portuguese war
shi, having on board Admiral Da Cana
and seventy of his officers, put to sea. 1t
had been thought in some quarters that
IF the vessels attempted to leave the bay
with the fugitives ~ board, trouble
would ensue. There was not, however,
the slightest opposition made to their de-
p~arture, and as a matter of fact, trouble
from this source was never probable.
The destination of the warships Is I'M
krown. 1t is conjectured that they will
go &c nth to Monteyideo and Land the
i%nsurgent officers there. If they are
landed at Montevideo they can easily, il
they are 81 disposed, join the insurgents
in Sac Paulo and Rio Grande do Sui,
who are still in armed opposition to the
government.
