COOPERATIVE SETTLEMENT.
Charles SchOtt Returns From
Visit to Tennessee.


Visit to Tennessee.
Charles Schott, a member of the st. Paul
Typographical union, has just returned from
a trip to Tennessee, on which he paid a
visit to the Ruskin Cooperative society's
settlement near Tennessee City. Mr.. Schott
reports the society in a fairly prosperous
condition, considering the setback it re-
ceived through the dishonesty of it's first
leader in purchasing land that was good
for nothing. The colony contains about
$50 persons, including quite a number of
women and children. A new site has been
secured at a place called Cave Mills, about
eight miles from the old site.
The society has a saw mill on the old
site and a grist mill or the new. Nothing
was raised last year, but this year it is
expected that sufficient food products to
supply the entire colony will be raised. Some
twenty-six buildings have been erected, in
Guiding a hotel. Nearly everybody in the
colony boards at the hotel and it simply
amounts to camp life. More buildings
to be erected this year. and additional in
dustries established, so that within a couple
of years the colony will be in very pros
porous condition, if nothing happens to give
it another setback. 1t has 1856 acres of
agricultural land in the new site. The old
site contains about 1000 acres, but the land
is good for nothing but timber, hard wood.

Johanna Johnson. woman aged about
thlrty-five to forty years, and mother of
a number of children, was yesterday exam
ined in the probate court and committed
to the insane asylum at Rochester. While
1t is evident that Mrs. Johnson's mind must
have been affected for some time preceding,
the first outward indication of it was during
the thunder storm few nights ago. She
suddenly took fright, and expressed the con-
viction that she was going to be killed.
This fear has kept up ever since, and she
Is consequently on the alert, expecting to
meet her doom. At times she becomes very
violent,

MAYOR MAY VETO 1T.
Still the Aldermen Can Pass Charter
Ordinance.

Mayor Smith issued the call yesterday for
a special meeting of the board of aldermen to
be held at p. m. today for the purpose of
taking some action on the ordinance submit
ting. the Howard charter to the vote of the
people at the coming city election. Unless
the ordinance is passed today, 1t cannot be-
come effective in time to comply with the
subsequent formalities that must be OBJ
served before the question can be submitted
to the people at the coming city election. 1t
is doubtful If six aldermen can be found who
will vote for the ordinance. AS far as is
known, there are only four who will vote for
1t. They are Aid. Lindahl, Montgomery,
Wolf and Krieger. Should the ordinance pass
the board Of aldermen it would still require
the mayors signature in order to make it
operative within the required time. AS the
mayor is convinced that the question of the
adoption of the Howard charter should be
submitted to the people at a special election
only and not at city election, the ordinance
may meet a quietus in the mayors office
even if it should be enacted by the council.

Armed to the Teeth.

Henry Curray, man sixty-eight years old,
was locked up at the Ducas street police sta
ton by officer Guion last night on the charge
of yagrancy. Officer Guion found the old
gentleman wandering about the street in a
bewildered condition of mind, and to protect
him from the weather took him into GUS
tody.
At the police station the old man proved to
be regular walking arsenal. A big revolt

INSURANCE is INCREASING.
Interesting Showing Made by the
States Receipts.

Deputy Insurance Commissioner Light
bourn reports receipts of the insurance de-
partment for March amounting to $26, 1894. 08.
The receipts for the first quarter of this year
show gratifying activity in the insurance
business, as the receipts to March 81, $780,
eSG.e2, already exceed the entire receipts for
1895, which were $156, 1856.
The state insurance department yesterday
notined the Marine Insurance company, of
London, and the British and Foreign Marine
company, OF Liverpool, to cease insuring the
transportation of money. The action is under
the law which forbids a company engaging
in more than one line of insurance, and in
his opinion the insurance of letters and
money packages does not rank with the gen.
eral business Of the company as licensed in the
state.

favor of the plaintiff. Weber claimed to have
been injured in collision between two cars
on the Fort Smelling line; that the injury was
not noticed at the time, but finally resulted
In complete paralysis. AT the time of the
trial he was living skeleton, and he died
within few days after. The defense in the
trial was that Weber had simply been fe.gning
and had carried it so far as to bring on the
condition he was then in. The case was ably
fought on both Sides G. d. O'Brien represent
ing the plaintiff and NJ d. Mum the defend
ant.
Weber could not be in court, but DR.. Nc
Cord was allowed to testify as to things that
Weber had told him. Judge Brill now finds
that this was an error, and while he expresses
regret, in view of the difficulty of trying the
case again-now that Weber is dead-is COM
PEELED to grant another hearing.

Joseph Hifsky and Erick Chemistry, who
were arrested by officers Goven and Kuckel,
Monday night, on the charge of disorderly
conduct, appeared before the clerk of the
municipal court yesterday and lodged COM

two watches disappeared from Hifsky's house
the night of the arrest, and the owner init
mates that officers Gowen and Kuckel may
know something of the missing timepieces
The compliments also visited Chief Clark
and Mayor Smith, with whom they lodged

NO CHANCE TO PROTEST.
Rev. David Morgan Displeased ut
Several Things.

Rev. D. Morgan and Deacon Wilson
walked into the council chamber at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, as usual, for they ex-
pected to find the assembly license commit
tee holding it's regular Wednesday session.
They were disappointed, however, as the
committee did not meet, owing to the abb
sence from the city of some Of the mem
bers. a.
Rev. Morgan was anything but pleased
when he learned that Aid. Murphy had Sc
cured the saloon at 345 Wabasha street, the
license for which was taken out by Anton
Miesen. The preacher made inquiries con-
corning the matter at the Office of the city
clerk and will doubtless make protest of
some sort, though nothing can possibly
come of it, sc several of the aldermen
say.

INCREASE IN REVENUE.
Sale of Stamps Considerably Larger
Than Last Year.

For the year ending March 81 last the
sale of stamps at the st. Paul postofice ag-
gregated $426, S09.54, as against $S7S, 1923 for
the previous year. making an increase of

entitle the postmaster to- 500 additional sal
airy per year and larger force of clerks.
Instead of adding to the clerical force, Capt.
Castle will recommend that the extra money
be used to increase the salaries of those now
at work. .4.ao~

minds made up and will stand like O

these men is so strong that they would
not dare to return TO their respective

Cleveland. June 2s.-H. A. Surface OF No.
1857 Harvard street reported At the Wales
street station Wednesday morning that
he had had the pleasure OF entertaining a
nice burglar at 2.30 o'clock p. m. He was
asleep In an upstairs apartment OF his
house and awoke suddenly under pressure
of a brawny hand which had been laid
upon his shoulder. The room had been
lighted and as he started and looked up
he saw a man standing over him. In this
mans hand there was revolved which
had a wicked eye and this eye looked
straight at Mr.. Surface.
Il want your money" said the burglar
You may have it," said Mr.. Surface.
Give II to ne In hurry" said the
burglar.
quite So" said Mr.. Surface. and suit
ing the action to the word. he reached
for his pocketbook. which contained 81.
and handed IL to his visitor. Still keeping
the pistol carefully trained upon Mr.. Sur
face. the burglar opened the pocketbook
viewed the contents and then picked out
81 and handed the pocketbook with the
balance OF the money back TO Mr.. Sur
face. Now have been square with you,
and II you set up a howl about my little
professional call will kill the woman
who is asleep down stairs. Good night"
Good nlght." said Mr.. Surface. and
that was the last thing he saw OF one Of
the strangest, and. withnl the most con-
siderate burglar who has ever operated
within the confines Of the Forest C1y.

1T is REMARKABLE
A SHOWER OF HAY DEScENDS
From THE SKY.
Moe, Fresh Fodder towers the Ground OF
Elizabeth. n. J.-Propls Rush Out
and Rush Back Again.

Elizabeth. n. j.. June z.-A shower Of
q very remarkable kind Is vouched for as
having occurred this afternoon In q Sec
tlon OF this city near the South Elisabeth
station on the Pennsylvania railroad.
From a clear sky there began to fall bits
OF dried grass and then what appeared 10
be genuine hay. The spears came down
end first and with considerable force.
They were 50 numerous, II 10 asserted.
that during a few minutes objects a short
distance away were scarcely dlscernable.
The fall began at o'clock and lasted
several minutes. when II ceased the
ground and roofs OF buildings were COW
cred with hay. which also lodged In sew
erai trees. The fail was confined to a
space OF less than two blocks. J. c. Ter
rlll. the agent at the South Elizabeth
railroad station. was among the first TO
notice the peculiar shower.
People rushed into the street bareheaded
10 learn what Il all meant. but ran back
when the sharp ends OF the spears OF hay
struck them on the head and hands. Then
they stodd on plazzas and other covered
places and watched the shower. The part
OF the story which says that when the
shower ceased people went into the yarss
and lots and gathered up punches OF the
hay, and that one man who has a stable
near by gathered about 80 pounds Of the
hay from a vacant lot Is easily credible.
This stable owner ls said 10 have de-
elared that the hay was alec and fresh.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-06-29

should have fresh air 10 breathe. The
blocked slope and gangways held out
little hope Of the air reaching them.
The rescuers were divided into three
relays OF 40 men each. under the direc-
ton OF Mine Foreman Alex McMullen.
The men worked as they had never
before worked clearing away the de-
bris In the slope with the energy that
only springs out OF the knowledge OF
dear lives behind II. They made good
headway. considering the difficultles
they had to contend with, and at 8
O'Clock this morning had cleared the
slope a distance of 900 feet Activity
brought encouragement. but when
the first clearance was made.
II revealed sight that dis
PEELED all hope. 4 damper fell upon
the work OF the rescuers. They had
been working for life and had found
death. Still the hope remained that
others of the men might be penned In
somewhere and that they would. yet
have the satisfaction OF finding them
alive.
At o'clock this afternoon Il became
necessary to swear in extra policemen
to control the crowd around the mouth
OF the shaft. II had increased to fully
1000 people. Ropes were stretched
around the shaft and only mine officials
were allowed to enter the enclosure.
Superintendent Law says: Nobody
regrets this dreadful occurrence more
than do. 1t Is too early yet to give
any reason as to the cause Of the ac-
cident. but l can assure you that II /
thought there was any danger In the
work undertaken by the men, not q
single one Of the men would have been
allowed to enter the mine"
The report that two bodies had been
found In the mine has proved tonight
to be premature Up to 9.o'clock to-
night no bodies had been found. At
that hour all hope Of finding any per-
son alive had been lost. The superin-
tendent Of the Lehigh Coal company
who II an authority. said II will be 10
days before the bodies are reached.
During the late hours of the after
noon the searchers made but little
progress, because the part of the slope
upon which their energies were bent
was working" The heaviest timbers
were like straws under the heavy pres
sure from above.
at the Inflated mine was unchanged
The rescuers were hard at work. but
making little progress. Superintendent
Miller has given orders that the res
cuers must proceed with great cau-
tion now. as the rock they are labor
ing under Is working more or less.
There Is danger that In hurrying the
work other lives may be lost
