HASTINGS, Mimi, Oct. Ed
ward Anderson, Norwegian aged
thirty-five years, who murdered his
neice, Josephine Sjerdal, twelve years
of age, daughter of Sever Sjerdal,
of Eureka, in this county, on July 10
last, by cutting her throat from ear
to ear with a razor, committed sui
eide in Jail here this evening by
strangling himself in his cell, hav-
ing tied a piece of twine about his
neck to a cross bar, thus saving Da-
kota county the expense of hanging
him. Anderson came from Milbank,
where his mother resides, some sis
months prior to the tragedy and e.y-
gagged his services to Mr.. Sjerdal, a
farmer of Eureka. Josephine was
sent to the home of Martin Holts, a
neighbor living about two miles dis
tant, on account of her uncle's par
ticular attentions. Anderson fol-
lowed, and, after making certain
proposals, which were declined,
gashed the unfortunate girls throat,
causing instant death. There was no
one in the house except the girl.
Mrs. Holt came in from outside just
as he was running out, and, noticing
blood upon his hands, called to two
men who were grinding scythes in
the yard, to capture him, which they
did. He was making for the woods
near by when overhauled, and the
men tied him with ropes and let him
lay upon the ground until Marshal
w. H. Brownell arrived and lodged
him in Jail at Pennington. He was
arraigned before Justice w. A. Gray
by County Attorney William Hodg-
son, charged with murder in the
first degree. He entered a plea of
not guilty, and had been held to the
grand jury. The crime was perpe-
trated in a small room used as a
kind of pantry, near a winding stair
way, and no noise nor outcry was
heard by any one. The bloody razor
was found upon the floor by the side
of the girl, who lay in a heap, with
bloor pouring from her wounds.
There was strong feeling at Farm
ington, and threats of lynching were
made.

Wants Farmers to Build 1t.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Oct. 10. P.
M. HUFFMAN, general manager of the
proposed Minnesota & North Dakota
Central railroad, has made the propo-
sition to the people of Jameetown and
vicinity that if they proceed at once
to make a preliminary survey from
Sherbrook to this city, also from here
to Ashley, Mcintosh county, the road
will be built and certain rates and
train service guaranteed will be given.
Surveys for the entire distance could
be made for 500 across Stutsman coun-
ty, while the grading could be done in
this vicinity for $500 per mile, and less
figure near Portland. Right of way
can be obtained for $12O per mile, and
the cost of bridges is estimated not to
exceed $3.50 per mile. The total cost
Of the roadbed through the county is
estimated to cost not to exceed $43, 900.

THE LOST ONE FOUND.
Strange Story, if True, of an Alb
ductiOn.

auction.
BUFFALO LAKE, Mimi, Oct T.
The Buffalo News says that the daugh-
ter of Gilbert Mattson, a farmer, liv-
ing three miles south of Hector, has
been heard from. Seventeen years ago
this summer the four-year-old girl was
sent with lunch to carry to her
brother, who was herding cattle not
far from the house. This was the last
seen or heard of the little one until
letter from New York yesterday came
to the home of the Mattsons from the
daughter, now a young lady twenty
one years Old.
After her sudden and mysterious dis
appearance the country was searched
for miles around; all the sloughs were
dragged and every effort made to re-
cover the child who was lost. Finally
the search was given up and the little
girl was mourned as dead by her par
ents, and when what was supposed to
be bones of a small child and some
pieces of clothing were found in g.
large slough near the MattSon farm, it
was thought certain that the little one
was dead.
The letter which came to reawaken
hopes in the hearts of the parents, stat
ed that on his deathbed, a man whom
the girl had been brought up to be-
lieve as her father, had confessed that
seventeen years ago he had stolen her
from her prairie home. He told her the
names of her parents, where they lived
and fully described to her the particu-
lars of her abduction. A letter, writ
ten to verify the deathbed confession,
stated that the young lady would come
at once to her home, from winch she
has been so long separated.
The story seems too strange to be-
lieve, but 1t is nevertheless true, and
when the young lady comes there will
be rejoicing in that home.

Taking advantage of the evident
temper of the house, it is probable
that in a day or two the opponents
of revision will secure action shelv-
ing the ma tser entirely for the pres
ent session. 2sr
The debate yesterday called out
several prominent churchmen, who
have not taken very active part
in the proceedings so far. DIR. Nc
Vickar, the pulpit giant from Phil
adelphia, made "a strong speech in
favor of the three-day limit on the
house of bishops, and Dean Hoff-
man, of New York, who has seldom
risen to his feet, except to call for
the order of the day, was called
out by this speech, and from that
on took quite an active part in the
days debate.
ON NEXT CONVENTION.
The first hour of the day was spent
in miscellaneous business, Perhaps
the most important to the public
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-10-08

was the formal entry of Boston and
Atlanta into the lists for the loca-
ton of the next convention. DR..
Arthur Lawrence was the spokes-
man for Boston, and Rev. A. w.
Knight performed like office for
the Southern city. Both contented
themselves with the formality of an
Invitation. During the session, also,
a. message from the house Of bishops
announced the committee on loca-
ton from that body. It consists OF
Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky; Bishop
Nelson, of Georgia.; Bishop Law
renee, of Massachusetts,; Bishop
Potter, of New York, and Bishop Nc
Laren, of Chicago. The first three
of these will, of course, vote for
their home city, but Boston seems
to be well in the lead, and will prob
ably command majority in the
joint committee.
A. number of reSoltionS were intro
duced, but had to go by the usual
committee route. The matter of
printing the pastoral letter of 1894
S.ir1e up again, but ex-senator Ed
munds, of Vermont, assumed the
role of an objector, and it went on
the calendar. The house voted to
take it up again, but soon changed
it's mind and land the whole mat
ter on the table.
The Fairbanks amendment to ar
ticle 5, of the present constitution,
also went over another day, after a
warm debate. DR.. Alsop, of Brook
lyn, again took the floor against it,
throw off weaker portions into mis-
sionary dioceses would increase the
burdens of the mission board, and
create a flock of missionary bishops.
Rev. Mr.. Gardner, of Nebraska, ac-
cused D. Alsop of impugning the mo-
tiveS of those who made such re-
quests, which the Long Island di-
vine indignantly denied. The house
seemed disposed to fight the mat
ter to a finish, and voted down a
motion to lay on the table, but final
ly, on motion of DR.. Vickar, referred
it to the standing committee on
amedments for investigation. 1t was
tnen lilo, and DIR. Hoffman called
for the order of the day.
THREE-DAY LIMIT.
The first matter on the boards
was the question of the three-day
limit, compelling the bishops to re-
turn all measures within three days,
with approval or disapproval, and
if the latter, with reasons for the
same. The commission: had omitted
the provision, and the house, after a
sharp debate participated in by DR..
Davenport, of Memphis; DR.. Nc
vickar, DR.. Spalding, of San Fran
cisco; DIR. McKim, of Maryland; DR.
Elliott, of Maryland; DR.. Pra1l, of
Detroit, voted down the three amend
nients pending and several others
which had been introduced mean

BurgIarized a Farm House.

Special to the Globe
WINONA Mimi, Oct. IA burglar
broke into the farm house of Daniel
Q. Burley, Saturday afternoon while
all the hands were in the harvest fields.
He ransacked things generally and
went off with a valuable gold watch.
Burley Immediately suspected that he
would come to this city to sell the
stolen property and SO followed in
pursuit. Early in the evening, the Wi
mona police found the time piece in a
junk shop, and traced out the man
who had sold it, making the arrest
without any difficulty. The arrested
man gave the name of George Smith,
and claims he bought the watch of
some man who he met at the Mil
waukee depot. His hearing will come
off tomorrow morning.

while, and left the matter just as
F the commission arranged it. DR..
.McVickar created quite a stir by his
attack on the report of the commits
sion, which he said had a decided
drift toward increasing the powers
of the house of bishops. DIR. Hoff-
man denied the impeachment, and
volunteered the information that the
changes to which DR.. McVicar most
objected had been made at the in
stance of clerical and lay members
of the commission. DR.. Spalding, of
Alabama, made another sensation of
q different sort by his novel aEgu-
ment against amendments, urging
that in apostolic times ito the cler-
ical and lay deputies had been given
power of binding and lossoing," and
that now they ought to show mercy
and 'loose" the house of bishops.
ELECTING A PRIMATE.
DR.. Egar, of Central New York, in
| troduced an amendment incorporating
article 2 in the first section Of article
1,Awith some verbal connections which
fix the distinction between the CON
stitutien for the Protestant Episcopal
church, and the constitution for the
general convention" in favor of the
latter construction. DIR. Egar CON-
sented to defer the consideration of his
amendment till several other questions
were placed out of the way.
The first part of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up with a struggle
over the question, What shall be
tfurorum in the house of bishops?" Out
of a great diversity of opinions, half
dozen amendments were voted down,
and the one offered by Judge Bennett,
Eof Massachusetts,, was carried viva
voce. An amendment by DR.. Egar,
dfsfranchising the bishops in foreign
fields, was also lost.
when section 8 was called, Judge
Bennett brought in another amend
/ nlesat. Section 8. as prepared by the
commission, provides for 'primus'
to be elected for life from the bishops
and preside as the senior now does.
Judge Bennett offered an amendment,
changing the phraseology, and chang
| ing 'primus' to "primate." A num-
ber, Of others were introduced, but one
by one they were voted down. w. w.
Old, a lay delegate from Southern Vir-
ginia, killed the title of "primus" with
rfdicule,. saying that American humor
would soon end in having the chief of
the reverend fathers known In common
vernacular as ''Uncle Primus." But
his suggestion, presiding bishop"
met with little favor, as did DR.. Prall's
president bishop and archbishop"
which was strongly urged by DIR.
Carey, of Syracuse. The latter title,
according to DIR. Huntington, of New
York, was not too large. but large
enough. In time, when the united
church of the United States became a
reality, there would have to be an
archbishop for every state, and
"tprimate' for them all. DR.. Car
michael, of Virginia. was afraid ''pri-
mate" wotld carry ana deprecated the

commission report. The only al
teration made in the draft yester-
day was the one proposed by Judge
E. H. Bennett, of Massachusetts,

ops within the United States in
counting quorums in the house of

a negative Endorsement Of the COM

disposed of finally.
Though few changes have been

work of the commission, the pros
pect of final action by the present
convention is growing beautifully
less. The deputies grew decidedly
impatient yesterday, and the prolix

bishops has already disagreed with
the deputies in two important par

have voted to retain the elaborate
declaration" prefacing the consti-

stricken out altogether, and they
have voted to call the general con-
