Four people boarded Conductor Da-
Wis car on the South Side line yester-
day afternoon. One of them was a
woman, and she was not under the In
iluence of liquor, but the three men
We're. The nOisiest one was her hus-
band, and his profanity was such that
the conductor put him off at Cedar
avenue. Another one of the crowd at
tempted to interfere and he met with
the same treatment.
The woman then took a hand in the
trouble and was more difficult to con-
troll than the men combined. She made
savage attacks with her fists upon
Conductor Davis and Motorman Flem-
ing. Her name is Mrs. kosloskie and
her husbands name is John. They live
in Greenwood.

Loss Of Life.

The North End was visited by two
fires yesterday, and one of them was
almost attended with loss of life. 1t
broke out at 3.14 in the afternoon in
the store of John Hawks on the Prov
dence road The flames originated in
some unaccountable manner in the
stairway and had secured considerable
headway before being discovered. Mrs
Hawks and one of the children was up
stairs and volumes of smoke burst In
upon them. binding them. They had
great trouble in finding another exit
leading from the rear of the house.
The fire companies of the North End
responded and got the flames under
control before much damage was done.
The loss will not be above $500.
At 8 o'clock in the morning fire broke
out in the same neighborhood, in the
house of Michael Madden, who keeps
a tea store. The building was frame
one two stories high, and was partial
ly destroyed. The loss will amount to
$500, which is offset by sufficient in
surance to indemnify him. The fire or
iginated from defective flue.

The NEE ting at Grand Army Hall on
Sunday evening, was in all respects, a
remarkable one Even that enormous
auditorium was not large enough to
accommodate all who desired to at
tend, and very many turned away even
before the meeting commenced, unable
to get seats. The music was excellent,
a large chorus on the stage being ac-
companied by all organ and two cor
nets. Rev. P. w. Fuller assisted in the
services. Rev. L. w. Squier preached a
powerful and effective sermon, taking
TOR his test the "Wise Fool', the rich
man of the parable. who trusted in his
goods for his souls happiness. After
paying an exalted tribute to the man
for his many worldly virtues,-and some
very telling points were made by the
eloquent preacher-he pointed out the
fatal err, or IN the mans career. He had
made ample provision for time. but none
for eternity. The evident moral was
driven home to the individual conscience
with powerful effect. \

DECLINES.

Gen. Harrison has peremptorily de
clined to be a possible presidential can
didate, and those who are at all familiar
with him are satisfied that this decision
is irrevocablo. He is not the man to sa;
one thing and mean quite another. He
is never pre- mature in either word or
action. While those who believe they
know MIN best were satisfied that he
had do further presidential aspir atoms,
and are not i'll the least astonished a,
his declaration, yet it is qualification
to them to feel that he is no longer in
position to be misjudged, or to haye his
actions and motions misconstrued.
What the effect OF this declaration will
be upon the selection OF a candidate it is
difficult to discern, but it is remark
able fact that the friends OF all the most
conspicuous candidates believe that it
will insure to the benefit OF their favor
lite. At least it cIea.s the political at
mosphere to that extent thatit narrows
the race, and removes one element Of
uncertainty.

w. T. B. the st. Paul Dispatches

writer on state politics, says:
There is still good deal of uncertain
ty regarding the makeup of the Mime.
sofa delegate to the national convention.
But the air of uncertainty is gradually
clearing up, so far as the districts are
concerned. For instance, in the Seventh
district there appears to be a united sen
timent in favor of sending c. /. Gunder-
son, OF Alexander, as one ofthe delegates.
s. G. Comstock, of Moorhead, would
like to go, it is said, and may be sent,
unless the voters up there should con-.
cluje to send some Que who has not be-
tore been honored in that way. In the
Sixth district Duluth has waived any
claims to one of the district delegates,
and will content herself with the con-
gresham, unless she should be given one
of the delegates at large. The Wright
county people arenow looking abouttor
man from their community, whose
name they will present to the conven-
ton, but have not yet decided just VINO
it will be. The Stearns county republi-
cans seem to have United pretty well
upon C.. F. Hendryx, of Sank Centre.
Morrison county will have candidate
in A. D. Davidson. of Little Falls. In
the First district Senator 7. V. Knatvold
OF Albert Lee, is making the race for a
position on the delegation, and it looks
as though L. P. Hunt would be one of
the delegates from the second. while ex-
Gov. L. F. Hubbard. of Red Wing, is be-
ing doomed in the Third. The Fourth
and Fifth districts will have no lack of
candidates, and there is no telling how
the fight will result there. One thing
seems agreed upon all over the state,
and that is that the Minnesota delega-
tiou should be composed of bright.
shrewd men, who will be keenly alert to
the interests OF the state at all times,
and will have hand in the nomination
of the next president, not come in on the
tail end OF the band wagon when they
are not needed.
