inches thick and weighs between three
and four tons, with massive bolt work
which is secured or locked by means
of a burglar proof Peerless combination

Bank Description.

Thirty years ago when st. Paul was
a mere hamlet, several of her citizens
started a. bank-The Savings Bank of
St Paul. 1t was not a large bank, nor
had it unlimited capital. But it's foun-
ders had unlimited faith in the future
of st. Paul, and although the institution
has outhved them, they yet lived to
see it one of the most successful and
popular financial enterprises in the
Sanity City. They were Ger. Henry
II. Sibley, eX-Gov. William r. Mar
shall and John s. Prince, and the bank
which was established on Third street,
a single block from Newspaper Row,
has nothing TO show but a clear record
of success.
Conservative methods, fair treatment
of its clients, and able management of
its funds have been the factors in the
steady growth which have thrice made
it necessary to seek larger quarters.
The bank was incorporated during May
in the year 1867, so that it is now in
the thirtieth year of its successful ca
reer. The officers, when the modest
little bank was opened on the corner,
where now stands the old Mannheimer
building, were:
Presdent-Gen. II. II. Sibley.
Vice President--William r. Marshall.
Cashier-John S. Prince.

occupies the presidents chair, was. in

proportional and presents a dignified
appearance. The exterior of the build
ing is built of Bedford cut stone. But
the happy result is not realized to the
full extent until one steps into the
interior and notes the true harmony
of decoration and color scheme The
effect is at once unique and pleasing.
Thos. Prendergast, president of the
institution, assisted by his architect,
Mark Fitzpatrick, has taken great
pains to make the structure modern,
practical and complete. The enclosure
is new departure from the general
bank buildings and is situated in the
center of the room, having an aisle on
each side, the one on the right being
exclusively reserved for ladies, with a
delightful reception room in connec-
ton Herewith. The president and
cashier have their room In the front
part of the bank.

The Office Of coroner Is peculiar. The
coroner must be a skilled medical man
and he must have the qualities that
go to make a reliable. well-balanced
peace officer as we'll. There are times
when the coroner is called upon to
perform the offices delegated to the
sheriff. He must be able to assist the
county attorney in the prosecution of
criminals connected with cases COM
ing under his Jurisdic tion. He must
be man Of tao, tnju dgment and de-
termination. WheR such a man is
chosen to the office and proves his fit
ness for the performance of its duties

From.

Relief Agent Hutchins learned yes
terday that Jay Grinnell, the thirteen
year-old youth who was brought to
the station last Wednesday, is an es-
capped pupil from the state school at
Owatonna. The lad told tale to the
effect that he had been kidnapped
from his home near Battle Lake, Mimi
by man named Peterson, three years

from his captor until week ago. He
said he made his escape at Owatonna

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
Spanish Students Attack Val
encia Consulate.
Police Make Strenuous Efforts to Prevent
the Demonstration.

Valencia, March 6.-The disorders
which were prevalent here when the
news was first received of the action of
the United States Senate on the Cuban
question, broke out afresh Wednesday,
and there were renewed demonstrations
of hostility to the United States. The
mob made it's way to the United States
consulate, which was stoned, and the
windows OF which were smashed by the
Infatuated populace.
The university here has been closed
under orders from the government, as it
was feared the students meetings would
be a hotbed for breeding disorders. But
this measure proved unavailing and the
police have been kept busy dispensing
students gatherings nearly all day.
Several attempts were made by disor-
DERBY parades to make their way to the
United States consulate. but they were
frustrated, as the authorities had re-
ceived special orders to be on the lookout
for any demonstration against the prop
erty Of the United States. Special pro-
lection was afforded the building in
which the Office of the consul is located
with a view to the same end. The mob
gathered before the building before the
police were aware of what was occurring
and stones began to fly from the crowd
with the result that windows were
broken

GRAIN HELD IN RESERVE.
Onlv Quarter of the Wheat Crop
Has Been Moved-Immense
Corn Holdings.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1.-The Orange
Judd Farmer, which last year estimated
farm stocks of wheat at 100000
bushels, a figure which it claims was
substantiated by the movement up to
July, this week publishes as a result of
a consolidation of county estimates,
statement showing farm reserves March
1 to be 135,OOO,0OO bushels, or 29.3 per
cent. of the crop of 1895. The winter
wheat states hold light reserves, the
spring wheat region comparatively heavy
with $4,000, 100000 bushels in the three
leading states, while unusual exhaustion
of farm stocks is found in California,
where apparently little more than q
100000 bushels remain in first hands.
Corn has moved slowly and farm con-
sumption, owing to the mild winter, has
been less than expected, SO that the
farm surplus is the largest ever reported,
being estimated at LOCI 100000 bushels
200, 100000 more than that following
the great crop Of 1889.
Oats have been moved and consumed
even more slowly than corn, the surplus
remaining amounting to 46 per cent. of
the crop. or 415,0OO,0O0 bushels.
Regarding the condition of growing
wheat. returns indicate marked improve
ments since December 1, except along
Ohio rivers.

ECHO FROM THE FIGHT.
PugiIists' Pontoon Bridge at Langtry
Did Not Touch Federal
Soil

Del Rio, Tex, March 5.-From Lang
try there comes an echo Of the recent
Fitzsimmons- Maher vaudeville in the
shape of a report that communications
have passed between the treasury de-
partment and the customs officer at
Langtrv concerning the circumstances
under which the pontoon bridge. over
which the sports crossed from the Texas
side to the Mexican bottoms, was per-
mitted to be constructed.
1t appears to be the understanding of
the treasury department that the ENDS
of the bridge rested on Texas and Next
can ground, but so far as the Texas bor-
der is concerned this is an error To
avoid possible international complies
lions, Contractor Bate, who had charge
of the construction of the ring and its
approaches, was specifically instructed
to steer clear of Texas SOIL even to the
extent of allowing any unusual lumber
to be dumped upon the American side Of
the Rio Grande, and these injunctions
were obeyed.
AS a matter of fact, as can be shown
by kodak views taken to be used as evil
dence in possible contingencies, the
planks Of the bridge on the Texas side
were two feet above the soil, and the
nearest supports were directly in the
center of the current and ii anything a
shade over on the Mexican half of the
stream. To prevent possible tipping by
reason of the height Of the boards above
the sand on the Texas bottoms, the
bridge was heavily weighted on the
Mexican side and not even a stake or
rope attached it to the American ground
1t is learned, moreover, that the customs
officer at Langtry notified Bate on the
morning of the fight that if any attempt
were made to render the bridge more
safe by securing it on the American SIDE
he would cut the ropes at both ends and
allow it to float down stream. AS it
was, however, the managers were fore
warned and forearmed, and by the con-
tractors ingenuity complications with
the federal or state authorities were

Police Dispense Meeting of Students
Universities Closed.

Madrid, March 5.-There were re-
newed disturbances and demonstrations
of popular anger against the United
States government, here yesterday. The
students of the university seem to have
been the offenders or the leaders in the
demonstration. In spite of the special
prohibition directed against them by the
government, the students and other in
habitants INDUCED in renewed manifesto
tons Of their unfriendly sentiments
against the United States. They as
sembled before the Madrid university,
and there publicly burned an American
flag. The police dispersed the meeting
after making several arrests. AS a. re
suit the council decided to temporarily
close the universities. 1t was also de-
cided to create a special budget for ma
val ornaments. The premier, Senior
Canovas del Castillo, denies that Spain
is negiating with any foreign power with

that the Spanish have obtained several
