READ THE BULLETINS.
Crowds Attracted by the Globes
Convention Reports.

The public showed It's appreciation of the
q o successful effort to bulletin the
Chicago convention yesterday by almost con-
tinuouSly crowding the sidewalk and street
In front of Newspaper Row. From the time
the convention convened until its adjourn
ment, at $50 last evening the G OBJ e bull
let1n contained a successive and accurate
outline of the work accomplished during the
day, which was eagerly perused by the pop
ulace in general, it hurried to and fro
at the noon and evening hour, or fastened
upon some business errand. There were
those also who did not leave the bulletin for
very long at any time but remained in it's
vicinity almost constantly. On several oc-
casions thu reports were received with out
ward manifestations of enthusiasm especial
ly during the later portion of the afternoon,
when the committee on credentials was con-
Guiding its report.
The manner in which the reports showed
the silver faction to be carrying on led an
other large crowd to congregate about the
bulletin last night, in expectation that des-
perate action would be taken by the gold
element. Nothing startling transpired after
supper, however, though the interest in the
reports was not in the least abated. Many
carriages stopped in front of the bulletin in
the course of the evening, some returning
several times to allow their occupants to
ascertain the progress made.
The bulletins announcing the formation and
officers of the permanent organization were
received with quite a demonstration, as an
all-night session appeared probable but a
few minutes later, when the adjournment
was reported, the watchers dispersed, hav-
ing received the report of the business of
the convention by the Globe bulletin. at
least twelve hours ahead of the usual time.
The G / o Q bulletins will be posted
throughout today the same as yesterday, and
should there be an all-night session tonight
the proceedings will be bulletined.

QUESTION OF PROFIT.
Defense Which Fink's Attorneys
Have Set Up.

The case against v. Fink, the sales
man who sold Otto Publ lot of jewell
ry for $24, which the police claim was
not worth that amount, came up be-
fore Judge Orr yesterday. The charge,
that Of petit larceny, Is being prose-
cuted by Assistant County Attorney
Donnelly. Publ and his bride, for whom
the articles were purchased, arrived in
ST. Paul yesterday morning. They had
made the purchase a week ago, when
the intended bride visited the city
from Howard Lake to pick out her
jewelry. The case promises to be an
interesting one, the line of evidence
introduced by the prosecution being to
the effect that the country visitors
were swind1ed out Of their money
Messrs. Walsh and Fort, who appear
as counsel for Fink, argue that the sale
was all right, and that 1t is only a
question how much profit a person is
allowed to make on the goods sold.
Mrs. Publ was the first witness called
and testified to having visited the store
and bought the watch and chain, four
rings and a couple Of pins for $24 Her
intended husband spoke very little
English, so the conversation was car
IiCu Du III one Sdiu Slo was
not a judge Of jewelry, and that Fink
said all the articles were solid gold
Publ corroborated the testimony Of his
wife as to the solid gold part of the
story and the price paid.
Henry Bockstruck and Assemblyman
Arosin, both jewelers. and experts, tes-
titled that the watch and chain, rings
and pins were not gold at all, the near
est any Of the articles came to gold be-
ing that they were electro gold plated
Both experts were given a lengthy
cross-examinatioE by the attorneys for
the defense, and, as at 8 o'clock the
examination had not been concluded
an adjournment was taken until this
morning at 10 o'clock

John Kenny to Furnish New
Boiler for the McCarrOn
House.

The water board has approved the
amounting to $114900. The assessment
as approved by the water board must,
under the law, be sent to the county
auditor before Aug. 1, to be by that
official entered on the tax roll for col
lection in 1897. The law abating the
frontage tax to all property on which
the owners have paid such tax for a
period of ten years, has reduced the as
sessment since 1894 by over $40 900. Two
years ago the frontage tax amounted
to $143,0O1, and in 1895 the sum was de-
creased to $125,374, when the number
of extensions Of mains during this
period is taken in account, the actual
reduction is found to exceed $4,000.
The board awarded the contract for
building pumping house or station at
Centerville to Hennessy & Cox, whose
bid of 1929 was the lowest. The con-
tract for boiler to be used at the Nc
Carron lake pumping station was
awarded to John Kenny at the contract
price of $1,162.50 The two boilers now
III use at this station will be removed
to the Centerville station.
The board approved plans and speci-
fications for laying a thirty six-inch
main from McCarron lake station to
the high service reservoir.

industrious Young Man With q

the police were notified yesterday that a
young man was engaged in working the con-

well dressed in dark clothing and straw hat
with smooth face and very dark complexion
he had a printed slip purporting to be is
sued by Haynes, the photographer, which
stated that the new style of crystal en-
balmed photographs could be secured at ST. Is

'embalmed" photograph, according to the
story of the young man, was to pay him %
cents down and the balance when the pic
lures were ready. The thing looked so good
and also so cheap that, although the locality
he visited does not as q rule do any business
In this line, the harvest yesterday was fine
When Haynes had his attention called to the

nounced the tickets bogus, and intimated to
the police that it would be a good idea to
have the young man with the fake brought
into court The police are looking for the
fellow.

from his wheel on Payne avenue grade Mon
day, and injuring the young man so badly
that he has since been laid up In bed has
stirred up the feelings of large number OF

the officer was not only inexcusabIe but alb
soiutely brutal. DeHel was riding down the
hill at a moderate rate of speed but the Of
Acer thought he was going too fast. OF

Swenson ran out and told him to do
so. but the officer didn't think of that He

SAD CASE OF INSANITY.
Mrs. A. N. Nelson's Reason Dethroned
by Her Husbands Death.


A particularly sad case came up in
the probate court yesterday when Mrs.
A. N Nelson, wife of the late ex-county
treasurer, was examined for insanity.
Since the death of her husband, A. NJ
Nelson, which occurred under peculiar
circumstances on May "a last, the
widow has been almost constantly I'M
der the Doctors care The members Of
the family and immediate friends have
noticed that Mrs. Nelson was seemingly
not in her right mind. It was thought
the shock occasioned by the death of
her husband would be only temporary
and that the skillfu1 medical treatment,
and the care which was given her by
trained nurse and the members of the
ia mily, she would soon be herself
again. For the last two weeks she
seemed to grow worse instead Of better
and during the last few days she ex-
hibited pronounced and unmistakable
signs of insanity So violent did she
act that 1t was decided best to have her
sent to the asylum. She was examined
by physicians and pronounced a fit SUBJ
ject for asylum treatment Yesterday
the unfortunate lady was taken to
Rochester by Deputy Sheriff Johnson
She was visited at the Jail by her eld-
est daughter, but. was in such condi-
ton that she paid no attention to any
thing said to her.
The physicians who examined her
are of the opinion that a course Of
treatment at the asylum may be Of
such benefit that she will soon be able
to return to her home and family Her
condition now Is such that the question
of caring for her at her home was, not
considered either safe for herself or the
other members of the family.

Cash Drawer Bell Told How 1t Was
IN Come

Adam Lyons, the proprietor. of the drug
store at the corner of Dale and University
avenue, made an arrest yesterday afternoon
all by himself He had occasion to step into
a rear room for moment, and, while there,
heard the alarm bell on his cash drawer ring

man in the immediate vicinity of the cash
box. Lyons commanded him to stand or take
the consequences, and not knowing what these
would be. the fellow stood until Patrolman
Stottz had been summoned. AT the Rondo
street station the man said his name was
George w. Clifton, that he was a cook fifty
nine years old and hungry. He had been
hungry, according to his statement so long
that he was desperate. and had decided to
either steal something and get meal or get
caught stealing something and then get a
meal. He was not particular which end he
took and the bell on the cash drawer set
tied the question.
