LOST BY ERRORS.
Brainerd Wins the First OF the
Three Games.

Several costly errors lost Fridays
game of ball to the Brainerd team.
Had the Mankato team played any
thing like as well as it did the pre-
yious two or three games it would
have won without difficulty, as the
Brainerds made many errors. AS it
was the game was close, the score
standing six to five in favor OF the
visitors.
The rain kept many people from at
tending the game, yet big crowd
was on hand. The game was delayed
somewhat when the heavy doWnpour
occurred, but the soil at the ball park
is so sandy that the water quickly
soaked through and there was no mud
to interfere with the game, while
there was no dust to fly through the
grand stand.

The average population of the dis

From this it will be seen that a re-
apportionment of the county is badly
needed to secure the city proper
recognition. 1t pays one-third of the
taxes of the county, yet has but one
fifth OF the representation. Mankato
is entitled to almost two votes, and
by dividing the city, and adding two
or three townships adjoining, the
proper representation could be Sc
cured. Mankato, Lime and South
Bend townships annexed to the city
would give population entitled to
two commissioners. The country
would still have a majority of the
board, while the city would have
what it is fairly entitled to.

WATCH OVER HIS REMAINS.
A Rich Brickmaker Had Notion That Hc
Might Bc Buried Alive.

Might Bc Buried Alive.
Newburgh, Nov. 17.--John B. Rose, tho
wealthy brick manufacturer. before ne
died gave specific orders to have a
watch nut over his remains, for he al
ways had a presentiment that he would
be buried alive. To this end the family
of Mr.. Rose ordered that the death
watch be placed over his body at the
Cedar Hill cemetery. Mr.. Rose ex-
pressed as his wish that this watch con-
tinue for thirty days and thirty nights.
but the other day the remains began to
show signs of decomposition. and the
two watchmen were discharged. The
remains were placed In receiving vault
and the door left unlocked. The screws
of the casket were, according to Mr..
Roses directions, to be left loose. SO
that, in the event OF his being in
trance and awakening he could get up
and make his way out with little or no
trouble. The other day, when the death
watch was discontinued, Joseph Rose.
a son, ordered that the body be con-
signed to the family plot in the ceme-
terry. The grave hal, in his absence,
beeen lined with brick from the JOve
yard, an opposition concern in the same
village. where Mr.. Rose did business.
Young Rose promptly ordered that the
grave be torn UP, and all the Jove brick
thrown out to make way for brick from
the Rose yard. This was done, and the
final interment took place.
In Mr.. Roses will his ecccentricity
crops out. He leaves his favorite son,
John b., who is now q Yale student,
$4,000 per annum, and the remaining
three children are poorly cared for
financially. There is already talk of
contest of the will. which was drawn by
Lawyer Il. A. Brewster. The village OF
Roseton was founded by Mr.. Rose. He
was strict Prohibitionist, and once
became involved In n lawsuit through
his efforts for the cause. Some brew
cry concern had shippea a quantity of
beeer to Roseton. He found II before
the consignee arrived. and II was all
thrown overheard. A $4,000 monument
has been ordered over his grave.

LIFE.SAyING SERVICE.
Interesting Figures Cor corning the Work
Of a Heroic Body Of Men Their Small
Com m

Interesting Figures Coz corning the Work
of a Heroic Body OF Men Their Small
Compensation.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the general superintendent OF
the life saving services shows that dur
ing the last fiscal year the number OF
disasters within the scope of the ser
vice exceeds that of any previous year
by 70. This large excess Is In a meas
ure found to be due to the extension of
the service. but principally to the con-
ditions of weather which prevailed dur
ing the year. While the work of the
service is thus shown to have been in
creased it is satisfactory to know that
the record of the year shows smaller
proportion of loss u both life and prop
erty than any previous year since the
general extension of the service, except,
as regards life. the year 1888. and re-
CARDS property, the year 1884.
At the close of the last fiscal year the
establishment embraced 25l stations
1874 being on the Atlantic, fifty-three
on the lakes, thirteen on the Pacific and
one at the falls of the Ohio at Louis
vile, Ky.
The number of disasters to documert-
ed vessels within the field of the opera
tions of the service during the year was
4S3. Thre were on hOard tneSe NsSe:S
5,402 PRISONS, of which 5,3S2 were saved
and twenty lost. The estimated value
Of the vessels involved was SS.OOl,27
and that OF their cargoes S2,645.96O. or
this total S9,1450S5 was saved and
s1,502, $50 lost. The number OF vessels
totally lost was seventy-three.
In addition to the foregoing there was
during the year 1892 casualties to smaH
craft, such as small yachts, sail boats.
row boats, etc, on board of which there
were 421 persons, AIS of whom were
saved and six lost. Besides the number
of persons saved from vessels of all
kinds, there were 40 others rescued
who had fallen from wharves. piers.
etc, the most of whom would have
perished without the aid Of the life saw
ing crews.
The Superintendent pays a high trib-
ute to the herOism Of the men in the
service, and says that no life was lost
through the lack of prompt and faith
full effort. The average annual loss or
life from 1877 to 1895 inclusive, which
embraces the period since the general
extension of the service. has been one
out Of every 1O7 persons aboard the
vessels involved In disaster, and the
average loss Of property 20 per cent. OF
the amount involved. He considers that
simple justice demands that the COM
pensation should be made uniform
among the surfmen of the lakes and
ocean, and believes that the rate of S65
per month established by the act Of
July 22, 1895, was none too large.

SHADOWED BY A CRANK.
Disagrccnblc Experience Of Bloomfield
Girl Who Has Been Haunted by Mys.
tcrious stranger Carrying o Knife.


Bloomfield, Nov. 17.-Residents in the
vicinity of Broad street and Maple
place were startled about half-past
seven o'clock last evening by the screams
of a woman crying for help. When
they looked from windows and doors
they saw woman running up the
street and a man on the opposite side
keeping pace with her. The young wo-
man ran into Almira street, but the
man stopped at the corner.
The woman is Miss Anna Troeber
who lives with her parents in Almira
street, and Is employed in one Of I'll
departments Of a big Newark store.
When Miss Trocber arrived In her home
she fell fainting into q chair, and when
neighbors came to inquire the cause of
the trouble she was hysterical.
1t appears that Miss Troeber was
walking up Broad street, and when
near the Greenwood Lake railroad
bridge she saw a man standing under
the street lamp on the opposite side of
the street. She says he had his back to-
ward her. He had on long black
ulster. but when she got a little past
the lamp she noticed that he wore n
light-colored suit, and also that he had
q long knife In his hand. 1t was ther
that she cried for aid and that the man
followed her on the opposite side of the
street. This is not the first time that
the same man has annoyed her in a
similar way.
For more than a year and on an aver
age Of three times week, this un.
known man has lain in wait for Miss
Troeber as she was on her way home
from the train in the evening, and kept
pace with her on the opposite side OF the
49, q l. A 4
of the track, Miss Troeber about a year
ago took up her residence with her sis
ter, Mrs. ]. p. Scherff. in Freerhont
street.
It was only brief respite. for within
a week she was being annoyed In the
same way. One night Miss Troebr be-
came SO nervous that she was unable
to walk to her sisters house. and she
took refuge on the piassa Of . Mrs.

HUNTING ROBBERS.
Adams Express Officials Arc Very Much
In Earnest

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Adams' EX-
press company and Pennsylvania rail-
road officers are still actively hunting
today for the robbers who pilfered the
Baltimore express car last Friday
night near Morrisville, Pa. While the
robbers have not been caught 1t is
intimated tonight that the officers were
working up a clew, which It is hoped
will lead to the capture of the men.
1t is pretty generally believed that the
robbers were not tramps, but men ac
quainted with railroad and express
work.
While the actual value of the goods
taken will be much less than 500, the
Express company will follow up the
robbers with as much determination as

count Of a purchase price now pending

1t is told by close friend of Campos,
and is understood by the powers that

reason that both Gomez and MaceO, the

not been delivered to the sellers, the

MURDER OF A PRIEST.
The Body of Rcv. A. p. Van Antwerp
COuud in Pool of Blood,

TOUHu III u FUOI Ut DIUUu'
Desoto, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE body of
German Roman Catholic priest named
A. p. Van Antwerp was found yester-
day lying In a pool of blood beside the
railroad tracks at Bushberg, Mo. A
wound over one eye showed how the
man met his death and the fact that his
pockets had been rifled indicated that 1t
was a case of murder.
From papers found on the body 1t is
thought the priest came from Detroit.
He was at one time an instructor in the
st. Louis University. 1t is thought the
murder was committed by tramps.
