Since Delahanty made that record of
four home runs and one Single someone
has been looking up the records, with the
Following result: The feat Of Bottcnus, of
the Buffaios, who in 1885 made four home
runs and a two-bagger five times at hat,
stands unchallenged by hatsmen of od-
ern professional baseball. His nearest Com
peutor is Lowe, of the Bostons, who, in
one of the games Of May so, 1894, made
four home runs and a single This total
was once equallcd by Larry Twitchcll.
Lowe also made two home runs in onc in-
ming. In 1882 Charley Smith made eight
successive hits. Frank FeEnelly, once of
Cincinnati, had record of siX successive
hits, with total of eighteen. Guy Heoker,
when with Louisville, made three home
runs, a triple and a double. Jerry Denny is
credited with seven successive hits, while
Dave Orr and Larkin beat all records for
successive and successful batting by ten
hits each IN one game George Rocks, of
Oshkosh, once made three home runs in a
game against Eau Claire, with which Bobby
Lowe was playing. Crooks, of Louisville,
late Senator, in 1889, made five hits,
four OF which were home runs. Fitzgerald,
va icC', Two
runs in one inning Charley Jones, while
playing with Buffalo, in 1850, made two
homers in one inning George Gore, of
Chicago, III game against Boston, is
credited with nine successive hits, five of
which were doubles, and Elmer Smith once
secured three home runs in game.
Roger Connor last season, out of six
times at the bat, made three singles, two
doubles and triple. The part of the
record that goes back more than three
years isofnovalue, on accountof the change
IN the character of the pitching. {.

ROYAL ARCANUM ANNUAL.
Grand Council Holds Its Meeting in

The sixth annual session of the
Grand council, Royal Arcanum, Min
nesota, will open this morning in
Bowlby hall. Aside from the char
acter Of the men whom 1t will bring
together, the event will be conspicu-
Gus on account of the questions Of
moment to be discussed and settled,
one of which involves the grand coun-
Gil standing of past regents.
The Twin Cities have heretofore the
honor of the grand regency. Each
city having put in counter-elaims for
the distinction, the coming election
bids fair to be rather interesting. The
friends of Maj. w. W. Cooley have
been making a vigorous campaign in
his behalf, and assert that the gallant
major will receive votes not only here,
but in Minneapolis. Maj. Cooley has
been one of the most energetic and
persistent workers in the order, and,
as a regent of Minneopa council, has
won the name Of being an excellent
executive.
The list Of delegates was published
in the G / o b e of Saturday. Several
Of them arrived in the city last night.

LIFE LOST FTS CHARM.
Matthias FansIer Ends His Existence
With n Rope.

Matthias Fansler, middle-aged Ger

terday morning to go into the barn at
the. rear of 353 University avenue and
take nap. IAN hour afterwards driv-
er for G. Neubel, ,3the grocer, at Univer-
sity and harrington avenues, entering
the barn, saw gFansler half-kneeling
beneath a harness cleat, from which he
was suspended by a. clothes line noos-
ed about his neck. Although Fansler
was dead, his body was still warm.
Coroner Whitcomb decided that suicide
was selfEevidentJ and that an inquest
was needless. 'Fansler had no relatives
in ST. Paul. Little is known of his an
tecedents. He was about forty-five
years old. He had boarded at 805 Far
ri1lgtoii avenue, and be supported him
self by; saving wood and doing odds
and ends of work for the neighberhood.
1T is believed that discourage cement
over the lack fof' regular employment
was the chief motive for the wood
sawyer,s self destruction, although Cor
oner Whitcomb says that he believed
intemperate habits might have render
ed Fansler temporarily irresponsible.
The suicides remains were taken to the
undertaking; rooms of OiHalloran &
I Murphy! Unless relatives claim the
body, it will be buried at the expense
of the county.

the couple separated, and the fact that
they were not divorced may possibly
introduce an element of uncertainty
into the disposition of Mrs Kimball's

Work VIII he Begun on 1t Very
Soon.

In short time work will be COM
mencedE on another fine block that lis
to be erected on Sixth street, which
is rapidly becoming the leading street
in the city. Mention was made of the
fact when it was under consideration
some months ago. The building Is to
be put up by T.. F. Berrisford, on his
property at the northeast corner Of
Sixth and Minnesota streets, which is
now occupied by. Oscar Tankenoff' s
saloon The building has been leased
by George Benz & Sons for a term
of years, and the plans are being, pre-
pared by Architect Bassford in &C
cordance with the ideas of the ellessees.
AS, the plans have not yet been fully
developed, nothing but the barest out
line Of what the building is to be is
yet obtainable. The lot is so by 100
feet, but the building will be twelve
feet less than this in depth, leaving
an alley in the rear. 1t will probably
be four stories high, constructed of
stone. brick and iron, and is to cost
about 200. The entire building is
to be used by the lessees for their
wholesale liquor business.

the members of the company will re-
main here in st. Paul until perhaps the
middle Of next week, when, upon her
return, the engagement at Minneapolis
will be finished. This was decided at
an informal meeting Of the members
of the company on the stage at the
Grand yesterday, when, without excep-
ton, the people expressed their pro-
found sympathy for Corinne and read

Mrs. Kimball was in middle life. be-
Ing nearly fifty years old, and her un-
usually striking appearance has out
lasted her youth. Few women
are better known in the theatrical bust
ness, and she enjoyed the reputation
of possessing an unusual ability and
business aStuteneSS. For nearly tWen-
ty years she has managed personally
companies who have put on success
fully plays in which others have made
signal failure. She has never had a
failure.
Her chaperonage of Corinne dates
back to the latter's debut at the baby
show given in Boston fifteen years ago
Later on Mrs Kimball superintended
the production ''Pinafore,'' with Corinne
as Buttercup, and few years after
Mrs. KimbalFs forces, known as Co
rinne's Merrymakers, made a tour OF
The country in. musical farces Still
later, Corinne was given leading parts
in standard light operas until little by
little the talented young woman has
become a star and today is the CEN
trail figure in play which, although IL
has been on the road for some years, is
still money-maker.
Mrs Kimball, whose home was III
Philadelphia, was known in private
life, until about two years ago, as Mrs
Fiaherty. Three years ago her hus-
band was accidentally killed. Nearly
two years later she was welded tc
