WAS NOT DROWNED.
Autopsy on the Infant Body Found
in the River.

in the River.
Dr. Ball, deputy coroner, yesterday
held an autopsy on the body of the fe-
male infant found in the Mississippi
river Saturday. The theories of the
police that the child was thrown into
the river and drowned was given a
setback by the revelations of the post
mortem. DR.. Ball said the autopsy
showed that death did not result from
drowning, and to the best of his judg-
ment the infant was dead before it
was placed in the river

La Bounta said, was about twenty

Relief Agent Hutchins yesterday re-
ceived an anonymous communication
stating that child had been born at
residence in the Eighth ward some
weeks ago, and, as it had disappeared,
it was possible there might be some
connection between the body found in
the river and this particular one The
letter was turned over to Chief
SchWeitzer, and officers are now en-
gagged in making an investigation
Chief Schweitzer said that, from tbs
information secured, he did not put
much stock in the facts stated in the

TOOK HER TO JAIL.
Postmaster Smith Receives Call
From an Insane Woman.


A we'll dressed, middle aged lady with
white hair dropped into Postmaster
Smiths office yesterday and asked Mr..
Smith if chose letters" had arrived
that she was expecting. The postmast-
stranger to him, and concluded from
her manner that it would be well to
humor her for while. He informed
her that the letters had not arrived.
The information made her restless, and
she stepped into the adjoining office of
the chief clerk of the railway service.
Not finding her letters there she re-
turned to the postmaster's room. Mr..
Smith then asked her if she wouldn't
take seat. The woman thanked him.
and removing her bonnet, jacket and
overshoes, she first stepped before a
mirror and primped herself and then
took a seat near the window.
Half a minute later lady and gen.
tleman entered followed by two police
men, The gentleman and lady asked
the woman to go with them. She OBJ
jected at first but was soon persuaded
to accompany them, though she refused
to put on her overshoes. She was es-
corted to the county jail and later TAX
Ell to the probate court. After an ex-
animation, she was pronounced insane
and committed to the Rochester asy-
lum.
She said her name was. Jane Rich,
and that she was forty years of age.
Some years ago when she was a resi-
dent of Michigan, the house in which
she lived was struck by lightning, and
her mind was so affected that she was
committed to an asylum in that state.
Recently Miss Rich has been living
with a sister in st. Paul.

NEW TwINE MACHINERY.
PRISON Officials Go East to Get Adj
ditiOnaI Equipment

Warden Wolfer and Prison Mana
gers Temple and Norrish were in the
city yesterday, leaving last evening fer
New York, whittier they go to pur-
chase new machinery for the prison
binder Irvine factory They will make
purchase amounting to about $13
900. which will give an additional ca
pacity of five thousand pounds of
twine-about one-third greater than
the present output. This will enable
the prison to turn out about twenty
thousand pounds of Irvine day, or, in
round numbers, five million pounds a
year
This summer has been a very sue
cessful one for the factory, every
pound of the Irvine having been sold
figuring up the very respectable total
OF 3,600,OO0 pounds, while another mil
lion could have been disposed of with
out any difficulty.
The prison Irvine factory has now
been in operation over six years, and.
while its early history was far from
being satisfactory, it is now on a
firm basis, and is rather more than
self-sustaining, although the intention
or the board of managers is to supply
the Irvine to Minnesota farmers at
practically actual cost 1t has solved
the problem Of convict labor to a very
satisfactory degree as few complaints
have been made against this industry
py organized labor, and the farmers
In the state have reaped the benefit of
lower prices for their Irvine, the sale
OF the prison article being restricted
almost altogether to Minnesota

LODGES MAY UNITE.
"os"i Arcanum Councils May Con-
SOlidate Soon.


sOIidate Soon.
FOR some time past the local MEM
pefs Oh the Royal Arcanum have been
impressed with the idea that there were
700 many councils or lodges of the
oroer In st. Paul, and that if several
OF the weaker of them were to con-
solidate it would Be better for them
from financial standpoint, and also
arouse the interest rim the work, so a
move IN this direction has been inaug-
urated. Minneopa Council No. 1889 was
the first to take any decisive action,
ana at a meeting held in a parlor of
the Clarendon hotel last evening, it
was decided to ask the cooperation of
Iour or hVe others to accomplish the
desired end
AS one of the members expressed it:
we have now about eighty members
IN our council; there are eleven coun-
CHS In St.Paul, and five or six of us
nave all we can do to keep up expense
account. 1t is altogether too many
councils; If we had two or three with a
membership of say 500 each, not only
would the lodge dues be reduced, but
there would be more enthusiasm in the
work Why, down in New York they
have one council which has $500 men,
pers' and every meeting night they
nave a banquet and a jolly good social
time, and 500 to 600 of the boys turn
out to every meeting
That's just what we want in st.
Paul, and I believe the plan will go
through. I am not at liberty to say
what other councils will be asked to
consolidate with US, in fact, it has not
been definitely decided, but combined
we can do great deal more good. The
plan of consolidating local lodges seems
to be growing in all other orders all
over the cOuntry'

SECOND EXCURSION HERE.
Large Number of Out-Of-TOwn Mer-
chants Came.

The second of the merchants eXcur-
sions was inaugurated yesterday with
a gathering of retail dealers from diff
ferent parts of the state in such num-
bers that the members of the Jobbers'
union, which has had the matter in
charge, feel very much encouraged
with the result of their labors.
Probably about fifty arrived in the
city yesterday and are calling on their
wholesale houses; this is somewhat
more than the first days attendance
last week, and as Monday is not sup
posed to bring so many as the two
succeeding days, the prospects are
that the attendance will foot up fully
three hundred this week Reports
form Minneapolis indicate that there
is practically the same attendance
there, all of whom will undoubtedly
visit both cities before returning to
their homes.
A special arrangement has been
made for the merchants of North and
South Dakota, by which their return
time limit has been extended to fifteen
days, so that if they leave their homes
tonight they can remain to see the
state fair; many of the points in those
states are beyond the distance limit

BUT QUESTION OF MERITS HAS NOT
BEEN DISCUSSED. EVEN
INFORMALLY
BY CAPITOL COMMISSIONERS.
THE BOARD FEELS JUSTIFIED IN
BEING DEGLIBEze ATE IN THE
SELECTION.
NO WORK CAN BE DONE THIS FALL
Question May Be Speedily Disposed
of the First of Next
Week.

The state capitol commissioners are
resting from their labors, and for the
coming week will enjoy d respite from
Nightmares of granite and sandstone,
quarries and contractors.
Owing to the inability of several
members of the board to be present at
any sessions this week. an adjournment
was taken until next Monday after
noon, when the possibilities are that
the matter may be speedily and def
nitely determined and the contract let
In the meantime ali the contractors
and stone men have left for their
homes, and several of them announced
that they would probably not return,
that is, unless the lightning strikes
them. OF course they were all anxious
to have the question settled, but none
of them made any loud murmur at the
delay; they appreciate the fact that
the board has an important matter on
its hands, one that requires consider
able elaboration, and that haste is out
of the question. -''1+E" ft.
"A delay of a few weeks does not
cut any figure with the erection of the
building anyway" remarked Vice Pres
ident Seabury. eff the contract was
let now, building opera tons could not
commence until spring; the most the
contractor could do would be to get
out his stone in readiness for work at
the earliest day next season. That is
one of the reasons that we feel justi-
fed in being deliberate"
Some of the outside stone men think
that this delay improves their chances
for securing the contract, arguing that
the commissioners, although undoubt-
eddy in favor of Minnesota stone, can
not agree upon just what stone it shall
be, and that a compromise will be eff
fected upon some stone from another
state. This was mentioned to Mr.. Sea-
bury, but he merely smiled at the idea
and said:
There's nothing in that at all, except
that the members of the board natur-
ally favor stone from this state. The
question as to the relative merits of the
different kinds of stone has never been
talked over by us informally, except
possibly in the shape of suggestions.
Some member might say: How would
such and such a combinat ton do? but
they nave not even expressed any pref
erence. We have been posting I'D on
the qualities of stone and the capacity
of quarries, but beyond that are no
further ahead than we We're two weeks
ago. The board has been invited to
visit number of quarries, but we will
probably not spend any more time in
running around-and I can tell you
that is the hardest kind of work.
You see there's one thing that we
must take into consideration in max
ing selection, that is the amount Of
our appropriation. If we had all the
money we wanted at our disposal, I
think we could very quickly decide
what we wanted"

p MIX-UP OF FREIGHT CARS.
Heavy Stock Train Slides Into q
Transfer.

Transfer.
There, was a miX-up Of freight trains
on the Great Northern tracks between
Fifth and Seventh streets yesterday
afternoon. A stock train drawn by
switch engine No. 453, in charge of
Engineer Charles Merritt, ran into
Great Western transfer, which was
crossing the tracks of the Great North
ern just west Of Fifth street AT the
point mentioned the transfer tracks
cross the Great Northern main tracks,
and there is considerable of a grade.
The transfer was made up of empty
cars and was pulling across the tracks
when the Great Northern train came
in sight. Engineer Merritt put on the
air brakes, but for some reason they
failed to act in time and the result was
collision. The engine one of the new
ones and, as it happened, the first time
it has been used, was badly damaged
and will have to be sent to the repair
shops Three Of the empty cars on
the transfer train were derailed, as
were two of the cars on the stock
train. Wrecking crews were at once
put to work, and, at $50 o'clock last
evening, the track was cleared. The
collision delayed traffic for a time, but
the Eastern trains left on time last
evening by using other tracks than
the main line.

A Comfortable Place.

The well-known apartment house, the
Utopia, located at the corner of ST.
Peter and Exchange streets, has been
thoroughly changed for the better.
The present proprietors, Messrs Mack
ey and Lee, who each have a host of
friends in the city, have refurnished
and redecorated the entire building
so that for comfort and elegance COM
hined the most fastidious person will
be perfectly satisfied. The rooms are
all steam heated, and bathrooms are
located conveniently on each floor.
A cafe strictly class will be
run in connection, where the best Of
board may be secured by meal, day or
week.
The location is especially desirable
for those who enjoy being close to the
business district and yet wish a quiet,
comfortable room, and, under the pres
ent management, those who are fortu-
nate enough to secure rooms will no
doubt have cause to feel that life is
indeed worth the living.

The company had made a practice
of issuing contracts with certain poll
cies providing that the holder should
receive a dividend upon all the bust

of these special policies was limited
to $50 in each state, and the protest
was made because it enabled the
