Some Early History.

The building was built about
twenty years ago, and was for some
time used as passenger station. Dur
ing this period the Younger brothers,
now serving life sentences at Still
watet for participating in the bank
robbery at Mortified, were kept under
guard in the waiting room while in
transit from Madelia to the state
penetentiary. Hundreds of curious
faces were pressed against the old
window panes in the anxiety of the
owners to get view of the noted des-
peradoes. 1t will be remembered
that on this occasion the James boys
had the narrowest escape of their
lives in getting away from the posse
of MinneSotians who surrounded the
swamp in which the criminals had
concealed themselves.

EnberS.

1t was an ideal night for a fire. Not
breath of air was stirring and the
weather was none too cold.
Superior and Excelsior evidently do
not agree as to who reached the fire
first. They both did faithful work.
Conductor Kingsly did not take his
old baggage car out this morning. and
it will go to the hospital in few days.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Mr.. Turritin, who seems to have first
discovered the fire, states that the
blaze was in the end gable of the roof
on the inside of the building when he
opened the door.
The hook and ladder boys had an &C
cident in starting and were considera-
bly, delayed in reaching the fire. The
apparatus is so old that it will fall
apart in transit one of these days. A
new truck is badly needed.

BUSINESS SALE.
G. Hilger Purchases the
Star Clothing House.

Friday Mr. ]. &. Hilger, pro
prietor of the clothing store opposite
the Saulpaugh, closed deal with Mr..
Isidor Longini for his entire stock of
clothing, paying therefor the sum of
$4,000, and took possession of the
same today. 1t is matter of con-
graduation for Mankato that the
Star Clothing House has passed into so
good hands. Mr.. Hilger is one of our
most successful business men, having
been in the clothing business here for
several years, and understands well
the needs and desires of the trade.
Not only is he a firSt-class business
man, but he is a fine gentleman per-
sonally, and in this new venture his
many friends will wish him the best
of success, and Mr.. Longini has the
qualification of knowing that under
it's new management the bright
ness of the "Star" will never be
dimmed.
Mr.. Longini will pay his attention
to his collections and take little ide
served rest from business cares after
some 20 odd years of energetic and
successful business life, preparatory
to commencing work upon the new
business block he contemplates erect
ing in the spring.

FAVORED AT WASHINGTON.
The Plans for the Enlargement of the
PoStoffice Have Been Prepared.

The following Washington dispatch
regarding the enlargement of the post
office building appeared in the Pioneer
Press yesterday morning:
Acting on the report of III. r. p.
Hamilton, chief of the draughting
division of the supervising architects
office, who recently visited Mankato,
plans have been prepared for the en-
largement of the public building at
that place, and will be sent out to the
contractor for an estimate of the adj
ditional cost. The plans include the
extension of the wing in the rear of
the building to the limits of the lot.
This will give increased space in the
working room of the pOstOffice on the
first floor, and on the second floor will
allow slight increase in the size of
the court room and considerable addi-
ttions to the judges room and the toilet
room. The rear wall is now up above
the first story, and of course will have
to be taken down. The foundation
and side walls viii have to be extend
ed. The material in the wall could be
used again, but there would be con-
siderable expense in taking it down.
If the changes can be made within
the appropriation the department will
probably order them.

MANUFACTURE HERE.
ii. p. Jensen Will Add Substantial
Iy to Mankato'S Industries.

III. p. Jensen has received his let
tiers patent, through Benedict &
Flittie, on an all-steel sleigh runner,
and they will be manufactured en-
tirely in this city.
The sleigh is a model of complete
ness and strength. 1t is to be made
of the hardest steel throughout, and
while being strong it possesses the
additional quality of lightness. 1t
can be used on carriages and surreys
OF any manufacture, the four runners
complete weighing but $50 pounds.
1t will be of special value to livery
men. 1t is also applicable to lumber
wagons, all that is required being to
remove the wheels.
The invention was illustrated in
detail short time ago in the patent
Gazette, and since then Mr.. Jensen has
received a number of letters from
Philadelphia and Indiana whole
salerS asking for the agency.
Mr.. Jensen states that he will be-
gin the manufacture of his new
patent early next summer in the
building now occupied by Jensen &
Perrin.

About the Freight.

Agent Burdick said this morning
that there was little freight in the
depot. This is the dull season of the
year and nearly everything had been
cleaned out. The most valuable piece
in the house was a mill roller in tran
sit from Minneapolis to a man at
Sherburne on the Milwaukee road.
This has been ruined by the heat.
There was also a small consignment
of sugar piled upon truck en- route
to st. Peter. A small lot of furniture,
as well as few bundles of wrapping
paper for L. Patterson & Co. were
burned. One of the employees this
morning removed the office money
drawer. The six cents it contained
had not been disturbed.
Mr.. Burdick states that all the re-
cords that are necessary for the pre-
sent were saved. The older ones
which were burned were not of much
importance.
The exact loss, or even an approx
mate cannot be learned. The build
ing was very old and the wintry
blasts whistled merry tune through
the rafters and ceiledwalls.

EXIT OMAHA DEPOT.
Freight House Burne d to
the Ground.
A Midnight Fire Which Burns an
Old Landmark==YOung Brothers
Were Held i'm Its Waiting Room
==Records Were Saved.

The Chicago st. Paul Minneapolis
& Omaha freight depot was totally
destroyed by fire at a. m. today.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Night Clerk Turretin, the only Occu-
pant of the building, was at work in
the office when he heard a peculiar
cracking sound in the freight room.
He opened the door between the two
apartments and Immediately a stiff
ing smoke rushed out, nearly over
towering him, while the red glare of
the flames was easily discernible at
the far end of the roof.
An alarm was Immediately given,
but the trip for the firemen was an
exceedingly long one and the flames
had completely enveloped the old tin
der box ere water could be turned up
on it. The fire worked it's way from
the north gable, where it apparently
had it's origin, rapidly to the south
ward, and the increasing height to
which the flames assembled and the
large volume of smoke told only too
we'll that there could be no hope of
redeeming the structure.
The firemen worked CALAMITY, how
ever, and kept the flames confined to
the freight house. When the flames
reached the center of the building
there was deafning report accom-
panied by crash of glass and volley
of embers and sparks that flew high in
air. A barrel of kerosene had eXplod-
ed and the flames received new i'm
petus.
Standing on the tracks on either
side of the depot was coach, bag
gage and two box cars. These caught
fire several times and but for efficient
work of the department would have
been destroyed. 1t was then found
necessary to move the cars further
down the track, and the coach was
run to the northward while the bag
gage car went toward the passenger
depot. The men at the helm in their
excitement forgot to throw the
switch and the forward trucks of the
baggage Car jolted along for a short
distance on the ties. The east side of
the car as it stood on the track was
blackened and charred by the intense
heat to which it had been subjected,
and broken windows and blistered
paint completed the work of incapaci-
tating the car fer service The roof
was nearly burned through in several
places, but few buckets of water
soon eXtinguished the blaze.
At about 80 O'Clock, when the
entire structure was wrapped in
flames two men, said to be gamblers,
whose names were not known, gal
lantly broke in the Office windows and
carried the records and books to a
place of safety These and a cheap
office desk were all that was saved.

nAY BE PROMOTED.
Agent Moore of The Milwaukee
Will Go Higher.

1t has been rumored in railroad
circles for some time that James
Moore, local agent for the Mil
waukee, will be promoted early in
the spring to travelling freight agent.
The intimaGion reaches this city I'M,
officially, but nevertheless it is gen.
orally believed by Mr.. Moore's friends,
for it is in line with his ambition and
his years of faithful service would en-
title him to a promotion in any other
line of work. The Milwaukee is not
slow to single out it's devoted en-
ployes, and as far as Mr.. Moore is con-
cerned the business men of the city
will endorse the idea on the score of
courteous, efficient business princi-
pies.

DISMISSED FROr1 COURT.
Was the Case For a Lower Coal Rate
Against the M. & St. l.. R'y.

The following appeared in the Min
neapolis Journal Saturday evening:
An order to show cause why the
reorganiZed Wisconsin, Minnesota &
Pacific and Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railroad companies should not be
compelled to appear in the district
court in the appeal from the decision
of the Railroad and Warehouse COM
mission in the suit brought by Ed
mund M. Pope against the st. Paul &
Duluth Railway company ct al, was
discharged this morning by Judge
Belden. 1t was held that the district
court did not have the power to
compel the new organizations to
come into court, and in order
to reach them they must be
made party defendants before the
Warehouse commission in the first
place. The original suit was brought
to compel the railroads named to
establish coal rate from Duluth to
MankatO, as result of which the
commission made the rate of ". 40 per
ton. Attorney-General Child appeared
for the commission and f. w. Booth
for the defendants.
Mr.. Pope, on being seen by FREE
PRESS reporter, stated that this was
order in the appeal of the company
from the decision of the state COM
mission, whereby it was sought to in
clude the Wisconsin, Minnesota &
Pacific company with the other COM
panies, and does not in any way affect
the case which is now before the
courts asking that the order of the
commission for lower coal rate from
Duluth to Mankato be enforced.
