FURTHER PARTICULARS.

From the Amboy Herald we take
the following account of the suicide
at Ceresco, which adds some sad
features, if true:
Mrs. Wallschlager living in Ceresco
township was on Monday morning
found in her room with her throat
cut, and gradually bleeding to death.
DR.. McMichael, of Vernon, was sum-
moned but found he could do nothing
for the suffering woman as she was
bleeding internally. When found she
was lying on the floor with a cut in
the throat of about three inches and
two wounds above the wrist. She
was conscious, and in speaking of the
tragedy stated she hardly knew why
she wished to end her life, that she
did not realize the enormity of the
deed until then, that she was sorry
and wished preacher. Rev. Ude,
who was sent for, had long, earnest
talk with her, and he also administer
ed the sacrament before she breathed
her last.
Deceased leaves six children, two
married. She was living with her
daughter, Mrs. Christ Kietzer.
Many of her friends think certain
parties living in CerescO were the
cause of her death. About week
previous to the suicide, rumors came
to the ears of the deceased that parties
were OBTAINING her character: the sub
stance of their gossip being that she
had poisoned her husband who died
in Germany before she sailed for this
country. This is an absolute false
hood and there is no foundation to it,
but it seems that the party who
started this was sutton of Mrs.
Wallschlager's daughter, and she not
reciprocating his affections, it created
jealousy and hatred, and when she
was married, he maliciously took these
means to show his meanness. Mrs.
Wallschlager was of nervous tenn
perment and worried considerably
about the stories afioat, and it seems
this brought on temporary insanity,
and she sought immediate death at
the keed edge of a razor.

STATUES DEDICATED.

The two stone statues Of st. Peter
and St. Paul were dedicated at ten
o'clock Friday, in the presence
of a large congregation. The services
were very impressive. Rev. Father
Sutor gave the dedication sermon,
and placed document in the corner
stone containing the names OF the
present national, state, city and
church officers. Solemn high mass
followed, led by Rev. Father Sieg,
assisted by Rev. Fathers Boehmer
and Kraister.
The two statues were handsomely
decorated with flowers and green's.
The statue of ST. Peter is on the north
side of the church entrance, and that
of ST. Paul on the south side. The
statues are the product of Joseph
Masberg's shop, and rare samples of
sculpturing, and highly creditable to
Mr.. Masberg. They are seven feet
high and stand on pedestals five feet
high. They are gift of several of the
members of the church, whose names
are not yet made public.

THE STRIKE AT HOME.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The FREE PRESS has communicated
with the agents of the four roads run,
ming into this city, this afternoon, re,
garding the effect of the strike.
Agent Powers, of the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis road, states that his road is
tied up tight, so far as freight trains
are concerned. No freight trains are
running on the main line, and after
today all freight trains on the Can
non Valley branch will be abandoned
and no freight will be received for
anywhere. No trouble is anticipated
in maintaining the passenger service.
Mr.. Powers further states that he has
instructions to hire any number of
good men for service on the road. Any
of the unemployed who are tirst-clasS
men and are willing to work and go
anywhere they are wanted, should
apply to him, but he wants only first
class, square-toed men.
The report from the Omaha depot,
from Robt. Bradley, is that his road is
not taking perishable goods, but that
other goods are taken subject to delay
Agent Moore reports that freight is
being received for all points along the
Milwaukee road, subject to delay
and that there is little danger OF the
strike extending to this city on either
freight or passenger business.
A similar report was made by Agent
johnson, of the Chicago & North
western road. There is no trouble
along the line, and freight is being
received for all points.
The American Express Co. re-
'ceives packages to be forwarded only
subject to delay, and Agent Drake
is fearful that the strike will soon
reach this city.
Agent Slade has received no special
orders from the United States EX-
press Co., and says that there is no
trouble along the Milwaukee line.

A PLEASANT BANQUET.

The members of the Thalia Club, st.
Peter and Paul's Society and the
Liedertafel Singing Society, joined in
rendering a banquet to their fellow
member, Joseph Masberg, at the
Stahl House Friday night. The affair
was surprise to Mr.. Masberg, who
was not informed of it until brought
into the presence of the fifty guests
already assembled in the dining room
at nine o'clock. The banquet was
given las mark of esteem and as an
anpreciation of Mr.. Masberg's ability
as a sculptor, which he has shown so
fully in his workupon the statues OF
ST. Peter and St. Paul, which were
Yesterday dedicated at the church.
Those present at the banquet IN
cluded some of the best known men IN
the city, and the occasion was very
nleasant one. Landlord Stahl loaded
tbe tables down with fine eataoles,
and there was surely no excuse 1or
anyone to go away hungry. IL was
demonstrated that the Stahl House is
well adapted for such an occasion, ana
that many such will be held there IN
the future goes without saying.
Geo. Krafts, one OF the talented
editors of the Post, filled the position
of POSTMASTER very successfully. lie
opened the speech making by re1err-
inc pleasantly to Mr.. Masberg, ana
smoke of the arts of Germany.
MIR. Masberg responded with a
happy speech.
DIR. j. A. Hielscher was introduced
and spoke of his trip to Italy, IN con-
nection with the arts of Italy.
DR.. P. Follman responded to toast
on the arts of Paris.
Alderman Nick Peterson spoke TO
the toast, ''The City of Mankato."
Hon. John f. Meagher responded
to the toast, "What the City Osed 10
Be. and What it is Now"
Geo. Bienapf, president OF the 81
Peter and Paul's society, made some
good remarks.
All of the toasts were eXcellently
responded to, the remarks were ap-
propriate and we'll chosen, and the
sneakers were well received. Mr..
Meagher and DR.. Hielscher were the
only ones who spoke in English, and
any 'ordinary synopsis would do the
speeches injustice.
The musical part OF the program
was especially. fine. The Liedertafel
Singing society interspersed half
dozen of it's best songs between the
speeches, and made the ample dining
room ring with the melody OF many
rich voices.
Clement Schroeder rendered solo
in his own inimitable style.
The banquet began about O'Clock
and closed at shortly after IL o'clock.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Mas
berg was greatly pleased at the marx
of appreciation shown him. lie is
well deserving Of it, however, as he is
modest and unassuming in his ways
He enjoys the friendship and regard
of all who know him, and all wish
him continued success
