pEPPERED HIS EYES.
j. ANESLTT CHARGED WITH AS
-.sr ASSAULTING AN OFFICER.
FRED MARTIN THE VICTIM.
His Eyes Are Treated to an AD-
PiicatiOn of Salt, Pepper and
Sand-Accused Denies.

officer Frederick Martin, of the Du-
cas- street station, was viciousiy as
saulted at l o'clock yesterday after
noon by some miscreant who threw a
mixture of salt, pepper and sand in
his eyes. The affair occurred at South
Robert street and Fairfield avenue.
Joseph AneSltt Jr., a printer, is ac-
cused of the assault
According to the officers statement
he met Anesltt at the approach to the
bridge. He carried a bundle beneath
his left arm, and in his right hand,
tightly grasped, a small package.
When opposite the officer, and without
speaking a word, it is alleged that
Anesltt quickly opened his hand and
threw a quantity of some terribly
painful mixture direct in Martins face.
The stuff blinded him for an instant.
Martin, racked with pain, began CROP
Ing about, while his assailant coolly
walked away. Martin followed as best
he could, but being barely able to see,
passed Anesltt as he was coming out
of laundry in the vicinity.
Martins eyes panied him ter
ribly, obliging him to leave
his post and retire to his
home, where he was attended by DIR.
Y. j. Hawkins. His eyelids were swol-
len so that they were practically closed,
and the pain was awful. Applying a
lotion, DR.. Hawkins removed dusty
substance, which he declared to be
salt, pepper and sand. Bandagas were
applied, and the patrolman was still
suffering greatly last night He will be
incapacitated for several days. For
tunately, however, he escaped perma-
nent injury.
At 6 O'Clock last evening all the pa
,trolmen were instructed to search for
Anesltt. A half-hour later Officer Grif-
nm arrested him near the scene of the
assault. He passed the night in the
Rondo street station, where he was de-
tanned on a charge of assault with in
tent to blind. Young Anesltt took his
incarceration cody. He denies as
saulting the officer, but admits that he
saw Martin at the time and place
the assault occurred. He says he
passed the officer ,on the way to
the Eastern laundry, and he saw him
again after leaving the laundry. He
processes ignorance Of the cause of his
arrest, and emphatically asserts that
he knows nothing about the mishap.
The prisoner, who is son of Joseph
Anesltt, for long time city jailor,
occupies a responsible position with a
large printing firm at 800 Robert Street
The police aver that he entertained q
grudge against Martin, and by yester-
days assault fulfilled a boast to get
even. The i'll feeling originated last
Saturday, when Anesltt was a specta-
tor at the public test of the mammoth
crane at the end of the Robert street
bridge. AS he possessed no invitation,
Officer Martin, who. was stationed
there, ordered him to leave the prem
ises. He complied unwillingiy, and,
after abusing the officer. was arrested

JUDGE EGAN THINKS.
EHRMANNTRAUT CASH
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT,
COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE
Contended That the Van SIyke As
semi bly, Was n De Facto Body
and Its Acts Legal.

The arguments of counsel in the
Ehrmantraut-Hare quo warranto pro-
ceedings were made yesterday, and
Judge Egan took the case under con-
/. sideration. The principal contention
of the counsel for the defense was
that the Van Slyke assembly was
de facto body whose acts were legal
until. the decision of the supreme
court unseated two of it's members,
and therefore the appointments made
by its president were legal for the en-
tire term of Office. Several citations
We're given to sustain this theory, nota-
piy one of the supreme court of North
Carolina
The attorneys for. the plaintiff in
sisted that there is a distinction be-
tween appointments and other acts of
de facto bodies, as regards the question
OF legality, and cited a New York de-
cls1on to sustain this theory. Attor-
ney Palmer, for. the plaintiff, went be-
yond this and entered into an argu-
ment that the Van Slyke assembly
was not even de facto body, and that
the only thing that gave it a chance
to pretend tht it was was the fact that
the city clerk called the names of
uSurpers and refused to call the names
OF regularly elected assemblymen.
Judge Egan intimated that he would
give decision in very short time

HE CRIES NO FUNDS.
A Seance Between the COmptroi-
Ter and Hospital COmmissiOn

The hospital commission and the city
comptroller met yesterday afternoon
to consider the contract for furnishing
the new ward buildings of the city hos
pital with gas fixtures. Some time ago
the commission awarded the contract
to James j. Dunnigan for S1,045. When
the contract was sent to the comp
troller he refused to sign it, informing
the commission that the special hos
pital fund provided for in the tax levy
of 1894 was exhausted.
This announcement surprised the
hospital commission, as it was sup
posed that about 5000 of the fund still
remained in the treasury City Attor-
| ney Chamberlain attended the meeting
yesterday and was disposed to agree
with the commission that there were
funds on hand to execute this contract.
/ The commission insisted that of the on
itire $4,000 originally provided for in
gthe tax levy Of 1894, only $35, 900 had
been spent. and that the commission
was entitled to at least S37, 900, which
) would practically see the work
a through.
srThe session finally adjourned until
aiioO p. m. tomorrow, when the commits
. sion will once more confer with the
lelty comptroller and endeavor to per-
s4ect an arrangement whereby the con-
hfact can be performed as soon as pos
siole. as the extra room is urgently

MISTRESS MARY

MINNEAPOLIS TO ST. PAUL,
A YOUNG GIRLS ESCAPADE.
Nine-Yenr-OId Mary Whitman Gets
Away With the Police Ma
trOn,s Dollar.

Mary Whitman, a little school girl of
nine, passed yesterday in charge of
Police Matron Cummings. The child
was found the previous evening by Of
ficer Baer at the Seven corners. She
was crying, and was apparently lost.
When brought to the central station
the little girl said she lived at 249
Twelfth avenue south, Minneapolis.
Leaving the Jackson school early in
the afternoon, she had taken her skip
ping rope and proceeded to enjoy her
self. Unmindful of the time or where
she was going, she skipped along, un-
til she foud herself in this city. Then
she became frightened. When found
little Mary still hung to her skipping
rope. The child declared she had
walked the entire distance between
Minneapolis and this city.
She rather enjoyed her detention
with Matron Cummings, and made
herself thoroughly at home. Being
granted permission to take. out Baby
Cummings for a little walk, the Min
neapolis miss indulged in another
pleasure jaunt. For more than an hour
she paraded the downtown streets
with her infantile charge, tot of two,
in tow. In the meanwhile Matron
Cummings was frantic with alarm.
Fearing that perhaps the child had
run off with baby, she was excited.
An officer was appealed to, and while
he was hunting the children they re-
appeared.
While enjoying herself, little Mary
1ndulged in several purchases made at
the expense of Mrs. Cummings purse.
She surreptitiously took a silver dollar.
After slight expenditure for candy.
Mary proceeded to do more shopping.
A gaudy handkerchief displayed in the
window of Schunenan tS Evans store
caught her eye. She bought it. When
questioned about the missing dollar
the little runaway accused the ma
irons son of the theft. Mrs. Cum
mings, believing her infantile charge
guilty, threatened to search her.. The
child proclaimed her innocence, but
had no objection to being searched.
Mrs. Cummings found the dollar-or
what remained of tilted up in a hand
kerchief, which little Mary had cum
n1ngly secreted beneath the belt of her
skirt. She was not bit embarrassed
by being detected in lie. In view of
her conduct, the matron doubts the
child's entire account of the Minneap-
oils story. Mary, however, insists that
she lives there. Her mother keeps a.
large boarding house, she says. The
Minneapolis police have been notified
of the child's detention They have
promised to send for her this morning.

HIS BODY FOUND HANGING
In an Old Woodshed Beneath
Browns Fifth Street
Hotel.
DESP0NDENcY
EXTREME
Drove the Man to the Deed
His Pet Dog Mourns His
Masters Death.

JenS Olson, a Dane of fifty-Seven,
time yesterday ymorning, in the wood
shed in the rear of Browns hotel, on
Fifth street, opposite the Northern
Pacific depot. His act is attributa-
bic to extreme dependency, the cul-
mination of oft-repeated threats of
self destruction. Olson had been en-
ployed around the hotel as cfore
man for the past twelve years. Pro-
prietor Andrew Hahn speaks very
kindly of him. On Monday the old
man complained of feeling i'll. When
Frank Silow, his roommate, retired
at midnight, his bed-fellow was
sleeping soundly. Olson was miss
ing, however, at o'clock in the
morning, when Slow arose mas
much as it was Olson's custom to
arise early and make the fires, moth
ing was thought of his absence.
AS the morning advanced and Oh
son still remained away, Mr..
HAHN BECAME UNEASY.
At noon a search was instituted.
After exploring the hotel, Mr.. Hahn
descended to the woodshed under the
sidewalk. AS he opened the door
the dead body of his employe met his
gaze. The old man had made careful
preparations for death. Selecting a
ouarterinch clothes line, he had
fastened it to a beam above. His
head was inserted in loose knot.
Thus prepared Olson simply lurched
forward. His death, occasioned by
slow strangulation, must have been
agonizing. When found, the body
of the suicide touched the floor, his
weight resting on his toes. His
knees inclined forward, and both
arms were outstretched. An .extin-
guished candle lay by the dead mans
side.
Coroner Whitcomb was promptly
notified. When entering the quar-
ters a dark object rushed by him.
1t was a big black Newfoundland
dog, Olson's pet. The intelligent ami
NAL sympathetically licked the dead
mans face, whining piteously. The
remains of the suicide were removed
to Thoung's undertaking rooms, at
Seventh and Bradley streets. There
will be no inquest.

PANIC IN A BLOCK
CAUSED BY A BLAZE IN MUSSET-

DURING THE EARLY MORNING
Inmates of the Block FranticaIIy
Appeal for Help-Scarei by
Volumes of Smoke.

Mussetter's drug store, in the 'Ier-
riam block, Fourth and Wabasha
streets, was badly damaged by fire
which broke out at o'clock vest tarday
morning. The blaze originated in the
laboratory, which was wrecked. 1t is
attributable to spontaneous combus-
ton. For a few moments the entire
destruction Of the drug store was not
only threatened, but also the safety of
the sleeping inmates of the block A
mild panic was created by volumes of
smoke which filled the block. L. Mus
setter, who rooms above mis- premises,
was awakened by the fire engines.
Hastily dressing, he rushed into the
hall. The dense smoke drove him back
a number of other inmates, fearing the
block was on fire, rushed frantically
through the halls, but We're prevented
from reaching the stairways. Frantic
appeals made for assistance We're quiet
ed by the firemen assuring the imagined
tire-bound persons that they were in no
real danger. The big block was merely
a huge chimney for the smoke to es-
cape through. Although reassured, the
aroused slaepers hastily vacated as
soon as possible.
Proprietor MusSetter was not graf
ified by the view which greeted him.
His premises were all ablaze, the
flames cracking merrily around big
collection of combustibles. Above the
laboratory the flames had almost
eaten through the ceiling to the next
floor. Every window in the drug store
was shattered. Six We're originally of
French plate glass. The contents OF
the store were badly wrecked, scorched
and water-Soaked. The insurance ex-
aminers have roughly computed that
the blaze will cost them about $4,000.
Mussetter was fully insured. He will
resume in a few days.
