TRAGEDIES AT NIAGARA FALLS.
Some OF the Sensational Fatalities Recor d.
ed at the Crate Cataract

Some OF the Sensational Fatalities Rscor d.
ed at the Crate Cataract
1t Is about this time OF year, says
q writer in the Ohio State Journal,
that the annual run OF tragedies
used to begin. / say used TO begin"
because OF late years the vigilance OF
the local authorities has been so
greatly increased that human lives
are now not SO often lost about the
worlds greatest cataract as formerly.
There is still preponderance OF
summer accidents, due, or course, TO
the presence IN the warm season OF a
much larger number OF strangers
than during the winter time. Some
years ago the number OF suicides Oc-
caisionally reached dozen IN
season and IL was pretty certain, so
subtle is the influence upon the
weakminded and those tired OF life
of particularly sensat onal ca c OF
seIf-distruction, that a notably start
ling suicide at the falls would pretty
certainly be shortly followed sby one
or more cases OF the same s.rt, the
victims OF the initiative mania often
coming from places far away In order
TO ''end it all. 4"
Not all the tragedies OF the falls,
however, have been suicides and not
al. have happened in the summer.
One Of the most sensational occurred
early in April ten years ago being
known as the Pierson- Nedder trag-
edy. Pierson and Nedder were
brothers-in-law and PlersOn, who
had been asher in local railroad
Office, had been suffering for some
time from a todily disorder that
unsettled his mind. On the first
Friday in April, 1884, the two went
out driving together, expecting 10
return in an hour or so. Late In the
afternoon, nothing have been heard
OF them in the meantime, their
friends started out on a search,
which was rewarded by the finding
OF their horse and buggy on Goat
Island, the body OF Pierson on Luna
Island and the coats and hats OF both
men near by. Nothing TO further
eiucidate the tragedy was ever found,
but theory was current at the time

as they ten had before: that Pier
son, the insane one, had attacked his
brOther-in-law, who had snot his as.
sailant in selldefence and then, him
self azed by lemorsc, had jumped
TO his death IN the river Just above

Another sort OF tragedy has oc-
cas- .onally resulted from an insane
desire on the part OF pro essional
swimmers 20 breast the rapids and

PAVING AT LAST.
The Council Awards the Contrac
for Vitrified Brick.

The Council Awards the Contract
for Vitrified Brick.
The meeting of the common council
last night was like sugar plum-short
and sweet. During its session, however,
matter important to the business men
OF the city was consummated-the con-
tract for paving Niccilet avenue, from
Washington avenue to Seventh street,
was awarded. The contract provides
that the avenue must he paved by
Nov. l.
City Engineer Capellen submitted
report OF his tests of the various kinds
OF brick. He favored the burlington
Nialesburg) brick, which the Minneapo-
IL Brick Paving company agreed TO
.rnlsh for 81 90 a square yard. A reso-
luton to award the contract to the
Minneapolis concern at the price speci-
fed. was offered by Aid. Woodward,
chairman of the committee on paving.
There was some opposition to ii, on the
ground that the bid was not the
lowest before the council. Aid.
Anderson and others wanted the con-
tract awarded to the Des Moines COM
pany at S1.65 per square yard, but it
was clearly shown that the brick was
inferior to the Galesburg. When the
matter came to vote the Minneapolis
company was awarded the contract.
The work OF paving the avenue will
begin at once.
The contract for paving Hennepin
avenue from Washington avenue to
Third street with asphalt was awarded
to the Warren-Scharf company at 50. SO
per square yard. The work on this
avenue will also be commenced as soon
as possible:
President Kiichli offered resolution
which stipulated that hereafter all per-
manent improvement work should be
done by day labor, and that the sys-
TEN OF awarding contracts be done
away with. 1t was referred to a spe-
cial committee for consideration.
President Kiichi also offered his
electric lighting plant resolution. but
i'll another form. He proposed that the
question of establishing a plant and
the issuing of 100000 worth of bonds
for its construction, be submitted
to the voters OF the city. He
asked that the question be added to the
municipal ticket SO that it might be
voted OH in the November election. He
felt confident that the citizens would
look at the proposition the same as ne
did. The council, however, decided to
have the matter referred to the CON-
mittee on ways and means. with in
structions to report at the next meeting.

X. KoRTGAAKD's CASE.

Monday next the case of The State
against Kristian Kortgaard, ex- cashier
of the state bank, one of the most i'm
portant criminal cases ever tried in this
county, will come up before Judge
Smith in the district court. Kortgaard
is to be defended by l.. r. Than and
F. B. Hart, while County Attorneys
Peterson and Nye will conduct the case
for the state. The indictment which is
to be moved is the one alleging the
stealing OF $4,000, which was covered
by the stock in the Stock Investment
company. The company was organized
March Is, and the stock floated on the
bank April Z.
1t is anticipated that there will be con-
siderable difficulty in securing jury
and that more than one extra venlre OF
men will have to be asked for. An order
will also be signed by one OF tine district
judges presumably, ordering the as
signee of the bank to bring the books
and records of the bank into court.
While these are not quite as extensive
as the records in the Guaranty Loan
cases. they will be sufficient TO occasion
considerable work.

A TrjHo Mixed,

Judge Pond yesterday granted an
order giving William Ewing the custody
of his four-year-old child. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ewing were divorced about year
ago, and at that time the child was
given to the mother. About six months
later papers OF adoption were secured
from Judge Severance for the child,
giving him to Mrs. Ewing's father and
mother. This. Judge Pond holds, acted
as forfeiture OF her right to the child.
AS the matter now stands, the child is
in the custody of the mothers parents,
under adoption papers. while the father
holds an order granting him custody
over the child. The case will have to
be decided by the courts at Mankato,
where the child now is

JUDICIAL FUSION.
The Matter is Still in a Chaotic
State.

5CaCc.
The situation regarding fusion be-
tween the Democrats and Populists is
still in an indefinite state. A conference
was held yesterday afternoon which
was attended by John Uglow, Lee
Combs and j. w. Hayes, of the Populist
committee, and number of well-known
Democrats interested in the judicial re-
suit. The conference was held at the
rooms of the Hennepin democratic
league in the New York Life building,
and was behind closed doors. Everyone
present was sworn to secrecy, and the
reporters could secure little information,
As matter of fact, the conference
yesterday amounted to little, and fur
Their conference of the Democrats alone
in the evening did not put the matter
much farther ahead, and from all that
can be learned at present, this confer
ence committee is likely to be in session
when the tickets are voted for next
November. The Populists who are con-
ferring on one side are understood to be
in favor of keeping the three Democrats
on the Populist ticket. but there is a
hitch In the way III the person of David
COchrane. Cochrane does not want to
get off the ticket, and unless he does
trouble is likely to result. rs
1t is only fair to state, however, that
all is not serene in the Populist camp
regarding the judicial ticket. Many
POpulists are outspOken in their opposi-
ton, and the end is not certain. A
warm discussion was held at the POM:
list headquarters yesterday afternoon,
in which Second ward Populist de-
clare0 that he believed that new Pop
ulist judicial convention would be held.
He stated that the other convention was
not legal, and that he was back of a
movement to have another convention,
and there were at least thousand Pop
ulists supporting him. He declared
emphatically in favor of taking the
three Democrats off the judicial ticket,
and he was supported by Arthur Keep,
who came into the room in the midst OF
the discussion. Keep frankly stated
that he was in favor of putting up four
hOrny.handed sons of toll and running
them. no matter whether they were
LAWYERS or not. .,a,
