NIEYERDING'S NERVE.
THE DETECTIVE, UNMTNDFUL OF
HIS OWN SAFETY,
STOPS A RUNAWAY TEAM
And Preserves the Life of an In
valid Who Was in the Hack
A Brave Deed.

An exciting episode, occasioned by
team of frightened horses attached to
a livery hack running away, for a
few minutes created a panic of alarm
late yesterday afternoon in the vicin-
ity of Sixth and Robert streets.
Drivers of vehicles frantically direct
ed their teams to places of safety,
while pedestrians sought refuge in
store doors or wherever shelter Of
fered. Thus safely housed, few, per-
haps, were aware of or witnessed the
terrified antics of the solitary occu-
pant of the hack.
Christopher Nelson, a patient pros
trated by illness, who was then being
conveyed to the city hospital, was at
the mercy of the terrified horses. EX-
pecting momentarily to be either
dashed to death or else terribly
manned, he slid helplessly to the bottom
of the hack and calmly awaited his
doom.
With the speed of thoroughbreds the
frantic team dashed down Robert
street. Attracted by the excitement,
| Detective Meyerding, who happened in
| the vicinity, gave chase, and, fortu-
| nately, when the chase had continued
| several hundred yards, was enabled to
| secure a hold on the off horse. But
| the pair were running rapidly, and not
until Detective Meyerding was
dragged several feet could the frantic
| animals be controlled. When the hack
| finally stopped it's invalid occupant
| was practically in state Of collapse,
| but was finally induced to continue his
! journey to the hospital.
| But a brief while prior to the acct
| dent Hackman Albert Suhrmann left
| the Allen Livery company's barn on
| East Sixth street en- route to 919 Con-
way street. He drove a pair of spir-
| tied horses, but reached his destina-
| ton without mishap. Returning the
team behaved well until turning the
! corner of Sixth and Robert streets.
Here, unnoticed by Suhrmann, was a
| slight excavation caused by portion
of the street sinking. By chance his
| horses escaped the hole, but a rear
wheel of the hack plunged down to the
hub. The shock hurled Suhrman vio-
| lently off the box and into the street,
| where he lay with a dislocated should
| er. The moment he lost control Of the
lines the horses started on their mad
race, which might have resulted dis
| astrously had it not been for the
prompt assistance of the alert, brave
| and athletic detective.

DISCUSS FREIGHT RATES
And Favor a Reduction OF 20
Per Cent on Freight
Tariffs.
THE RAILROAD MEN DEMUR
The Present Rates Cannot Be
Changed and Allow Profit
to the Roads.

A conference was held yesterday
afternoon between the joint commit
tees Of the Minnesota and North
Dakota legislatures appointed TO
consider the matter of freight rates
on the railroads in the two states.
There were present, BESIDES the
committees, Messrs. Phinney, of the
Great Northern, and Moore and
Rlakeley, of the Northern Pac1flc,
Chairman George L. Becker and
Judge Mills, of the Minnesota rail-
road and warehouse commission also
participated in the meeting, but only
to a limited extent.
Senator Smith, of Minnesota, acted
as chairman Of the Joint committee,
and Representative ProSSer, OF North
Dakota, oficiated as secretary. The
secretary read a bill which it is
proposed to introduce in the Mime
sofa legislature fixing the maximum
rates to be charged in Minnesota
for passengers or freight at SO per
cent of the present rates-or cut
Of 20 per cent on freight tariffs.
The bill is based on a report by
Senator Ringdahl, chairman Of the
Minnesota senate subcommittee on
railroad rates.
When Chairman Smith had stated
the business of the joint committees
Gen. Becker outlined the work Of
the Minnesota commissioners along
the lines to be pursued by the COM
mittees, but stated that it is diff

Mr.. Moore, of the Northern Pa
cific, in reply to questions by the
committeeman, went into an argu-
rQent for diversified farming. He
pointed out that a great proper
ton of the supplies used by Dakota
farmers, especially in the line of
canned goods and prepared meats,
is grown and packed in Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas and Illinois Twenty
million pounds of hams and bacon
used in the Dakotas the past year
had, he said, been shipped from the
states named. At Is cents a pound
this represented $3,000,000. Camp
supplies, too, that are used in the
Northwest, are nearly all brought
in from other states; and the

stanced the difference in classical
ton to show that, while a Wash

complained that it cost him Sc 80
to ship carload of starch to New
York, if he had shipped under the
flour schedule, which he could have
done, the shipment would only have
cost 100

KNOTS ARE CALLING.
{ TWO DISGUSTED WIVES APPLY
FOR DIVORCES
ON GROUNDS OF CRUELTY.
One Husband Drives Away the
Boarders Who Furnished His
Wife Means Of Support.

Two females of mature years, who
are ready to swear that marriage is a
failure, yesterday filed complaints in
divorce proceedings. Their names are
Emelie Van Sickle and Louise c. Erren.
Mrs. Van Sickle was married to Jo-
seph Van Sickle in St. Paul in 1892.
She charges her husband with cruel
and inhuman treatment; she claims
that he refused to go for medicine
for her when she was i'll; that he beat
her and acted in such disgusting
manner as to drive away the board
ers that were the only means by which
she could earn living, defendant be-
ing too lazy to provide for her sup
port. She is thirty-six years of age,
and her husband is forty-four. They
have no children.
Mrs. Erren was united to her hubby,
Frank Erren, at Prescott, Wis, in
1888. She alleges that her husband
has always treated her cruelty, and
beat her in December last and threat
ened to kill her, so she was compelled
to fly for her life She asks for ali
mony and the custody of an only child,
who is ten years of age. Plaintiff is
forty and defendant is forty-two years
old.

SECRETARY CROSS OUT
TURNED DOWN BY THE STATE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
E. w. RANDALL OF MORRIS
Is Elected to Look After the Des-
TIMES of Future Fairs-Cross
Explains.

W. F. Cross, erstwhile secretary of
the state agricultural society, has
been turned down with a blunt, nau-
seating thump, and will eat snow
spheres for the rest of the winter. He
is around now telling the story that
Col. Leggett is responsible for his re-
moval, and by sundry winks and
crooks of his spine indicates that there
is something back of it ALL There
isn't anything back of Cross, how
ever. He's through. No longer will
the porker grunt at his approach; no
more will the hen cackle vociferously
when she hears his footsteps; nor
will the beet beat nor the turnip turn
when he heaves in sight. No more will
the butter butt or the bee buzz at
sight of the lilacs of the erstWhiIe
main pusher Of the state fair. It
seems sad, too, for Cross appeared
well fitted for the job. He knew ra-
zor back from Dakota SOW, and was
on speaking terms with the Cochin
Chinas and the Heresfords. He threw
his bonnet higher than anybody when
Nancy Hanks busted her record and
made more trouble for the reporters
than a country legislator experiencing
his first interview and fearing the
presence of bunco men. There wasn't
a wind mill that didn't need wind
when Cross appeared, and apples

HOCAN'S YOUNG Wife
CHARGES HIM WITH CRUELTY
AND UNFAITHFULNESS
He SAYS THE SAME OF HER
In an Action for Divorce in the
District COurt-SZany Fee
males Present.

Grace May Hogan, who is a wife and
mother though only seventeen years
Of age, was in Judge Brill's court yes
terday with a number Of witnesses to
prove that her husband is not a fit
man to have such a nice little wife
and baby, and that she ought to be
given a divorce and the custody Of the
child. Thomas E. Hogan, the husband,
who is a Minneapolis barber, was also
present with a number of witnesses to
prove that his little girl-wife is not
worthy of such a nice young man, for,
as he claims, she has been guilty of
numerous acts Of unchastity.
The complaint filed by Mrs. Hogan
alleges that the couple were married
at Minneapolis two years ago; that her
husband has treated her cruelty and
made remarks rejecting on her chas-
tity, called her bad names, etc. She
further alleges that he has been guilty
of violating his marriage vows, in that
he has been intimate with divers Wom-
en- since the time of his marriage, Mrs.
Harris, Irene Peabody and May Sui
Ivan all Minneapolis sirens, being
named among the women referred to.
The plaintiff finally left him and came
to St Paul with her child, "
i The husband, on the other hand,
charges his wife with having been an
inmate Of an designation house since
she came to this city, and that she is
now living in open adultery with a
man named Sheridan. He further
charges her with calling him names
that would look bad in print, and that
she threw knife at him on enc oc-
casion.
a jury was impaneled and then the
|. plaintiffs counsel wanted to amend his
/ complaint. This was objected to, SO
a continuance was granted to give him
a chance to make the desired changes.
a number of Minneapolis females were
present to give testimony in the case
but they had to forego the pleasure.

THE LAST LOAF.
Pretty Drama Enacted by PFoIni-
nent Colored People.

'"The Last Loaf" pretty melodrama
with an instructive temperance moral,
was effectively performed last evening
at Cretin hall by the Twin City ORA
matte club, under the auspices of st.
Peter Claver's church. The large hall
was filed, the audience including many
of ST. Paul's best known colored citi-
Zens.
The unchanging fidelity of the ideal
wife was manifest in the dignity and
pathos of Mrs. A. G. Russell. Miss
Laura V. Robertson is a sweet and at
tractive young lady, to whom playful
coquetry is second nature, and it was
evident that her delightful acting re-
quired little effort. The part Of the
soubrette is such q general favorite
in an amateur performance that too
much is generally expected of her who
attempts it; but Mrs. Frederick Nc
Chez gratified every expectation. Her
excellent voice is not the least of her
gifts.
Nelson Russell and r. T. Taylor the
drunkard and the villain, were cast
for unenviable parts, which were to
a great extent atoned for by the adj
mirable naturalness of their assumed
intoxication and treachery. One rea-
son, doubtless, of the marvellous merri-
ment excited by Frederick McGhee's
suffering explanations and absurd
awkwardness was the sharp contrast
which they presented to the attorneys
accustomed fluency of speech and dig
nifty of carriage. Charles Miller, unlike
so many amateurs, has an evident his
trionic talent, and was quite as much
in the favor of his hearers from the be-
ginning as he was at last in that of
| patti jones' All the pretty girls ap-
plauded Edward Lee. If to them he
appeared model young man, who
else should criticise?
1t will be remembered that "The Last
Loaf was presented by the same per-
formers on previous occasion. The
second rendering, however, was even
| an improvement on the first. The mu-
steal selections last evening were skill
| fully performed by Mason's Mandolin
| orchestra.

ODDFELLOWS TODAY
VIII Hold Their Annual State En-
campncnt.

The grand encampment, L. .. y. r.
of Minnesota, will open its sessions at
9 o'clock this morning in the hall OF
Twin City lodge, corner West Seventh
and West Sixth streets.
Twin City lodge room was crowded
last evening with officers and dele
gates of the grand encampment. The
attraction was exemplifieation of the
work in the royal purple degree by
the degree staff of Union Encamp-
ment No. A. of Minneapolis. Accom-
panying the degree team were about
100 brethren from Minneapolis, most of
whom came over on a special inter-
urban car. Hudson, Wis, also sent a
delegation, and nearly every large
town in Minnesota was represented.
In comforting the degree the team
appeared in the following positions:
C. P, o. P. Smith; H. P, William
Cheney; S. W., NJ. H. McDivitt; j. W.,
T. M. Read; guide, w. G. Nye; watch
men. Charles Wilson, D. A. Stude-
baker. A. w. Scott, c. E. Parks. At
the conclusion of the work, which
was beautifully done, brief talks per-
tinent to the occasion were made by
several of the out-of-town delegates.

Big Damage Suit Against the
Street Railway.
B. J. MichaloWitz yesterday filed a
complaint in a suit to recover from
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
$4,000 for personal injuries alleged to
have been sustained by being thrown
from wagon that was struck by
car on the University avenue bridge
near Prior avenue last December. The
plaintiff alleges that his horse became
frightened at the approaching car, and
he signaled the motorman to stop, but
no attention was paid to it. The horse
backed across the track, and horse,
wagon, man and all went over in a
heap.

.ELUDED THE SISTER
Miss Mary Nessell, a Dement,
ed Patient at st. Joseph's
Hospital,
ESCAPES THE VIGILANCE
OF an Attendant While Walk
ing in and About the
Garden.

Articles in a Clothing
Store.
FOUND HOURS AFTERWARD

Miss Mary NeSSell, a young woman
of twenty-eight, and at intervals an
exceedingly eccentric parsonage, yes
terday eluded the vigilance of one of
the sisters at ST. Joseph's hospital,
with whom she was walking, and
wandered away aimlessly, directing
her steps down town. The young
woman's sudden disappearance
greatly alarmed her attendant, who
returned to the hospital and notified
the police. For several hours a Wig
orous search for the demented
woman was inaugurated, which re-
suited in her capture by Detective
Kenaley.
Happy in the enjoyment of her lib
erty, Miss Nessell strolled hither
and thither like a Contented child,
needless of where her steps took
her. Finally she had gotten as far
down town as the Merchants hotel,
at Third and Jackson, where a
bright colored display of articles in
g. large clothing store in the vicinity
attracted her attention, and she en-
tered the establishment.
Here her strange conduct and
childish utterances quickly indicated
to the employees that the young
woman was
UNBALANCED MENTALLY.
Detective Kenaley, while passing,
was called in, and assumed charge of
the unfortunate woman.
During the ride to the central police
station Miss Nessell was cheerful and
contented, but later, when the patrol
conveyed her to the hospital, she
evinced much agitation, and a great
unwillingness to return. When the
hospital was reached the officers exper-
fenced considerable difficulty in Undue
ing Miss Nessell to return to the in
stitution. Nervously clutching the arm
of Day Tailor Bantz, she tearfully APP
pealed to him not to force her to enter
the institution. Yet her agitation van
ished quickly, as other ideas came
into her mind. Plaintively protesting
the unfortunate seriously inquired if
they were going to send for more pc
lice to carry her into the hospital.
Finally persuasive methods were eff
fective, and the patient appeared
pleased at regaining the protection
and care of the good sisters.
Miss Nessells has been a patient at
ST. Joseph's for several months, hav
ing been received from Rush City,
where her father, Robert Nessells, is a
resident of prominence.
