HERMAN Scar SUICIDES.
He Takes His Own Life by Hanging
Himself.

Herman Scar, who has been in the en-
ploy of G. II. Hornburg as timer for
several months, committed suicide by
hanging himself in the rear part of Horn
burg's store early Saturday morning.
Just what prompted the young man to
thus end his life is not known, but lie
seems to have been sickly Of late and
troubled with terrible headaches. In the
morning he arose unusually early and
appeared considerably agitatcd while
eating his breakfast. He then opened
ur the store, placed some of the show
goods out in front, and went 10 the ele-
vator way, which leads into the base
ment, fastened rope about his neck and
jumped off. Slr. Hornburg arrived soon
after the affair had happened, and, being
surprised to find the store open and no
one around made asearch. He soon found
ahuman form hanging in the elevator way,
ana III his surprise at once nastened Tor
doctor. Schoch was summoned and
when he arrived found the body warm
but ifeless.
Nothing remained but to cut the rope
and wait for Coroner Rothenburg. An
inquest was held in the afternoon, but it
developed nothing save the fact that the
young man had deliberately taken his
own life.
Scar was only twenty-four years CT
age and was well-known in New Ulnl,
having been born and raised in this vi.
cinity. His mother and couple of
brothers are still living in Milford town.

THE DENIS HAVE TROUBLE,
The County Convention at Sleepy Eye was
Far From Harmonious.
A Fight Precipitated Over the Flnancia
Resolutions.

The Democratic County Convention
which assembled at Sleepy Eye Saturday
afternoon developed, before 1t had gone
very far, into quite stormy one. The
financial question proved to be the stumb-
ling block.
The attendance was very >,u.il, only
fuor country towns being l.r4esented.
The delegates present were as follows:
New Ulm, 1S; Sleepy, Eye 6; Spring.
field, 2; Mulligan. Home, Bur2stown
and Stark, 4.
Geo. Graft of New Tim called the con-
vention to order and Chas. Berg. OF Slee-
py Eye, was elected as chairman and w.
f. Koch, of New Ulm, secretary. Edi
tor Green of New Ulm was placed upon
the committee on resolutions and togeth-
er with his associates reported in favor
of not adopting any resolutions on ac-
count Of meayre representation. This at
once started the squabblc. Chief Heidc-
man took the floor and insisted that those
present constituted convention and
were entitled to go on record. He wan
ted resolutions and insisted that the a
new committee be appointed. Chair
man Berg ruled that tns was in order
and appointed new committee ofwhich
Heldeman was chairman. The resolu-
ticns reported by this committee were
strong ones-couched il Heideman's
own language. They endorsed the ad-
ministration and Cleveland in particular,
declared for gold standard and against
the free coinage Of silver at the rate of
16 to 1.
When the resolutions were read Green
and his supporters at once opposed tncm
bitterly, Green making quite plea for
silver and in favor of keeping IN touch
with the national convention. Charlie
Berg stated that it Was the first time he
had heard of silver Democrat in Brown
county. Green retorted that he would
have chance to discover lots of them
before the campaign was over. Heide-
man said he didn't care whether the Ma
tional convention declared for silver and
nominated a silver candidate for presi-
dent or not. Hewanted Brown County
Democrats to take stand and he want
ed them to 60 Oh record as approving of
Grover Clevelands administration and
antagonizing the silver heresy.
For while the battle ragged furious
ly over that small gathering of falthfuls
and dissenson stuck out from every cor
ner.
Finally the resolutions were put to
a vote and passed by a small majority.
The victors smole bitter smile-those
outside of the trenches were angry.
Then came the matter of electing del
egates to the state convention. Here the
administration men again got in their
work by defeating. Green and several
others. The elected ones were Albert
Steinhauser, Geo. Graft, A. H. Lienhard
Emil Wicherski and John Bushard of
New Ulm, E. Z. Bertrand, Charlie Berg
and BY. Kath of Sleepy Eye and Geo.
Ross of Springfield. Not Il single coun-
try town was honored with place on
the delegation. AS result there were
some who went home mad, to state it
mildly.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 30.-At midnight the
total number of dead, missing and fatally
injured in the two cities was 424. This esti-
mate is made up as follows:
In st. Louis-Known dead, 1876; unknown
dead, IL fatally injured, 18; missing, 56.
In East st. Louis-Known dead, 1873; un-
known dead, g. fatally injured, 2 Total, 4A.
This will undoubtedly be added to when all
the ruins have been uncovered. At East St.
Louis the following names have been added
to the list of known dead, the bodies having
been identified today:
Mrs. Brohan, Charles Collins, George Esher.
Michael Flynn Henry Poss, Henry Vieth,
Mrs. Trump, Ed Wirdley, William Walsh,
Baby Winthouse.
This was Decoration day, but the recent
griefs of the citizens of the town had for the
time being effaced from their minds the mem-
cries of those who passed away in the War
of the Rebellion and there were no sery-
ices of any kind, although elaborate arrange
ments had been made during the early por-
tion of the week. Immense crowds of peo-
ple visited the ruins today, and it is expected
there will be $4,000 visitors here, as excu-
sions will be run for 100 miles out by the
twenty-three railroads entering the city.
