Gov. O'FerrnIi Grants Hopkins n Re-
spite-Newly-DiscO Evidence
In another column Of to-days paper Is
printed an interesting account OF the ar
rangements for the hanging Of Morris
Hopkins, the condemned murderer OF Mr..

crime for which he Is to die. since that
page was stereotyped, the Governor has
granted the doomed negro respite OF
three weeks, and the execution. instead
of taking place next Wednesday, as ar
ranged for will be deferred until the
oath Of April.
When the news of his extended lease
of life was communicated to the doomed
prisoner, he threw up his hands In JOY,
and In a loud tone repeated several times
Thank God, I've got a little bit longer
to live"
The respite was granted by the Cover
nor at the earnest solicitation OF MT
w. NJ. Juslis, Jr., the Negroes counsel
who represented that he had newiy-ois'
covered evidence in the case.
The nature of this evidence was made
known to the Governor, but he decline:
TO give it for publication. Mr.. Justis vii

legal business, and will be unable to give
attention TO the interests of his client fol

Episcopal Convention Delegates
to Be Invited to ST. PauI.

Episcopal Convention Delegates
to Be Invited to St. Paul.
The chamber of commerce, at its reg
ular meeting yesterday morning, re-
ceived communication from Prof.
Herbert w. Smith, of Minneapolis, re-
ferring to the convention in 1897 of the
American Association for the Ad-
Vancement of Science, which has been
invited to meet in ST. Paul that year.
Prof. Smith Informed the chamber that
the invitation must be renewed when
the association meets in Buffalo next
year, as it declined to consider any in
vitation more than one year in ad-
vance. The communication was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
Mr.. Peet, of the executive commit
tee, spoke of the coming Episcopal
convention in Minneapolis, and said
that it would be no more than proper
for st. Paul to invite the clergy and
the lay delegates as well to visit this
city. The chamber adopted a resolu-
ton inviting the convention to come
to st. Paul and enjoy a carriage drive
about the city. Thursday of next
week will probably be the day selected.
The chamber adopted the resolution
resembling all action previously taken
in favor of the Curtiss Business col
lege, on the ground that it constituted
discrimination against similar
schools.
The committee on health and santa
ton was granted further time to con-
slider the garbage question. Mr.. Dorr,
of the committee, said that the gar
bage contract was not being fulfilled
and that complaints were numerous
F. B. Doran sent in his resignation
as a. director, which was accepted.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-01

not been expended, inasmuch as the tax
collections, SO he explained, had not
yielded that amount. 1t was the old.
old story. of delinquent taxes which
the unpaid policemen and firemen take
such delight in hearing. The hospital
commission and the city physician
coaxed, pleaded and fought with the
grim watch dog of the treasury. but
their efforts proved futile. McCardy
was adamant Consequently the new
ward building, otherwise a model hos
pital, has no elevator.
Commenting upon this condition of
affairs, DIR. Ancker said yesterday:
eff Comptroller McCardy had signed
these last two contracts. the hospital
would have been finished as original
ly planned, and there would still have
been about 900 to the credit of the
fund. All have to say now is that
the absence of the elevator in the hos
pital is sure to entail extraordinary
hardship upon the patients. Instead
of transferring patients in their wards,
and to and from the operating room on
the third floor of the administration
building on wheeled stretchers, which
would be simply rolled on to the ele-
vator, we will be obliged to carry
them long distances in old canvas lit
ters. In conveying them up and down
stairs, it is impossible to avoid chang
ing the position of the patient who is
thus subjected in some cases to a
serious hardship. Then, to, the alb
sence of an elevator renders 1t impos-
sible to distribute food property heat
ed, to the various wards. With an ele-
vator, the food could be conveyed in
a large-wheeled receptacle containing
a hot water reservoir, which would
maintain the food at the proper tenn
perature, whereas now it must all be
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-01

carried by hand, and the consequence
is, much of the food is cold by the
time it reaches the patients"
Comptroller McCardy when asked to
explain the condition of the hospital
building fund, replied sententiously:
There is no such fund in existence.
1t is all used up"
The controversy between the comp
troller and the hospital commission
over the hospital fund will probably
never be settled. The comptroller
takes the stand that the fund is ex-
hausted, inasmuch as all that was
collected for that purpose under the
tax levy has been expended, and that
the balance which the hospital COM
mission and city physician insist is in
the treasury, is represented by delin-
quent taxes yet to be collected.
A public reception will be held in the
new ward building on the day that it
is delivered over to the city and
county authorities. The myaor and
other city and county officials will be
present, speeches will be delivered,
and the guests will be served with lem
onade. DR.. Ancker vouches for this
last feature of the programme.
