DIED IN THE NIGHT
y. I'll. HALL, A MINNEAPOLIS MAN
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY AT
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW,S
KIDNEY TROUBLE THE CASE.
PHYSICIANS WHO CONDUCTED TuF,
AUTOPSY SAY 1T WAS A MOST
REMARKABLE CASE,
REPORT THAT DRINK WAS CAUsE
Was Without Foundation. AItbouyh
He May Have Taken Some Wood
Alcohol for His Suffering.

j. II. Hall, resident Of Minneapolis
was found dead in his room at the
home of his brother-in-law, John H.
Schleischer No. 949 Fuller street. yes
terday morning. Dr. Nelson was at
once notified Of the mans death, and
from the fact that Hall had drunk a
small quantity of wood alcohol before
retiring the previous evening, it was
at first thought he had died from &C
cidental poisoning, but an autopsy, held
at the undertaking rooms of Mccarthy
& Donnelly last evening, by Drs.
Ohage, Hesselgrave and Nelson, de-
veloped the fact that death had been
due to another cause. Halls right kid
ney was almost wholly surrounded by
a calcareOus substance nearly as hard
as rock, condition to which the ply
sicians directly attributed his death.
The dead man, who was twenty-nine
years of age, was a horseshoer by occu-
patton, and since last October has been
employed by his brother-in-law, Schlei-
scher, at whose house he resided. He
went to his room early Thursday even
ing complaining of a pain in his side.
and was not again seen until found
dead yesterday morning. The body of
the young man was on the floor of the
room, near the door, as though he had
experienced terrible suffering and had
been trying to arouse his relatives. Mr..
Schleischer states that he heard no
unusual sounds durina. the night. and
1t is not known at what hour Hall died.
A bottle containing wood alcohol was
found in Halls room, and, while there
is little doubt but that he drank some
of the liquid, Coroner Nelson stated
that this was in no way responsible
for his death. The condition of the kid
ney, as shown by the autopsy, is said
by the physicians conducting the post
norton to be one Of the most remark
able cases ever coming under their OBJ
servation.
The dead man is a SON of M. Hall
living at No. 1857 Fifth avenue south,
Minneapolis. The father was notified
of his sons death, and after the coro-
ner's Investigations had the body re-
moved to his home in Minneapolis. Mr.
Hall was grieved over the report Of an
evening paper that his son had been
drinking, and had met death by an in
satiable desire for liquor which lead
him to imbibe the wood alcohol, and
stated that his son had never been i'm
moderate in his use Of intoxicating bev-
erages.

STOPPED THE FIGHT.
Police Interfere With a Contest at
the Auditorium.

The eight-round sparring match between
Al Roy, Of this city, and Tom Norton, of
Minneapolis, which attracted about 900 people
10 the Auditorium last night, was stopped
principals had been warned several times
by both the police and the referee that they
were evincing too much ardor to allow the
affair to come under the head Of a friendly
contest for points, and when Roy swung
viciously at Norton, while the latter was
still on his knees after slipping upon one
stepped into the ring and ordered the bout to
cease. There was much dissatisfaction among
the audience at the interference of the author
tiles, and Kisses and cat-calls greeted Lieut..
fused to allow the match to be concluded, but
the officers were firm, and the crowd was
obliged to be content with the remainder of
the programme, consisting of a wrestling
match between Alex Herous, Of st. Paul,
and Herman Smith, of Minneapolis.
The preliminary feature of the evening was
a three-round contest between Ed Sheppard
and Harry Lemons. The men put up a
neat exhibition. and were heartily applauded.
When the go between Roy and Norton was
announced Buff McManus was introduced
as the referee, and ait the call Of time both
men got together in spirited manner. Nor
ton weighed fully twenty pounds more than
Roy, who is in the lightweight class but
the latter's agility in a measure compensated
for his lack Of weight.
The exchanges were lively from the start,
and, though the men wore six-ounce gloves,
blows. The bout was practically an even
thing until the fourth round, and while the
pillows frequently came together with a
resounding smack neither of the parTdci-
pants succeeded in doing much injury to the
other In the middle of the round Norton
landed on Roys neck, and in getting away
slipped and fell. Roy started to come back,
and in passing Norton, while the latter was
still down, struck at him. The blow fell
short, and Roy claimed he had not intended
to strike Norton but that his momentum
had carried him by after starting the swing.
The wrestling match between Herous and
Smith was perhaps the best feature Of the
evening. Herous showed great strength, but
was lacking in skill, and Smith won the
match by getting the first, second and fourth
falls, respectively, Az, TX and minutes.
Herous won the third fall in 171A minutes.
The decision of Referee Freger on the last
fall caused a commotion in the audience, and
a crowd rushed ON the stage, claiming that
Smith had not fairly thrown his opponent
The situation portended almost anything IN
the nature Of an all-round, go-as-you-please
for few moments but the referee stuck to
his decision. and after a wordy war, gen
orally INDUCED in, the audience left the
building.
Rov announced that he was willing to meet
any fl her at 1870 pound7, and Herous, through
his manager challenged Smith to a wrestling
match on horseback for 250 side.

CRUSADERS ARE BUSY.
st. Marks Society Is Making a Good
Record.


At their regular meeting, Tuesday evening,
st. Marks crusaders were favored by a
visit from ex-President ]. F. Mcclure, and
Secretary J. ]. Regain, of the State Total
Abstinence union.
Both gentlemen were highly pleased at the
showing of the society, and congratulated
it's members upon its phenomenal growth
during its short existence, and, although
largest society in the archdiocese, still they
readily acknowledged it to be the best
Mr.. Regain, in his address paid a glowing
tribute to Messrs. M. ]. Tyllia and Sullivan,
the organizers of the society He said that he
saw no reason why, at the close Of '97, St.
Marks crusaders, under the leadership of
two such generals, should not claim the honor
not of being the largest society in the arch
diocese of st. Paul, but of being the largest
society in the great Northwest, and that he
hoped to see st. Marks crusaders come forth
from the convention of '9S bearing the olive
branch in their triumphal march toward total
abstinence.
On adjournment of the meeting all retired
to the society's rear parlors where a smoking
concert was held in the honor of the society IS
distinguished guests, after which a committee
composed of Messrss Tyllia, Sullivan, Murphy
and Kirby escorted Messrs Regain and Nc
CURE to the car Thus the night passed into
the history Of the society one of the many
pleasant evenings which the members have
enjoyed since the organization of st. Mark IS
crusaders.
This evening special meeting will be held
to make arrangements for card party to
be given during the first part of the week.
All the members are requested to be present.

"TUxEDov MERRY NIGHT.
There VIII Be Gala Night. in
Arcana.

The long look-for day in Royal Ar
canum circles has arrived, and the
heart of every Arcanumite in ST. Paul
is filed with happy anticipation for
tonight, when Tuxedo" will be present
ed to what promises to be the largest
audience ever packed within the classic
walls of the Metropolitan opera house.
AS before noted in the G / o b e, the
sale of seats for this performance has
been almost unprecedented. At 5
o'clock last night but thirty seats re-
manned unsold in the balcony, though
a few box seats were still obtainable
on the upper tier. The executive conn
mittee held a meeting last night at the
Windsor hotel when it was decided to
throw open the gallery back Of the three
trent rows at popular prices. Some
opposition was made to this movement
owing to the belief that the entire gal
lery would be filed anyway. But the
committee finally yielded to the urgent
plea Of the grand vice regent, who
stated that there were many members
of the order in St. Paul who were
most eager to see the performance, but
who could not afford to pay the regular
price.
A large delegation is expected from
Minneapolis, saltwater, Hastings and
other adjacent points, and the indica-
tions are that the event will be the most
notable one in the history Of the Or
der in the state.
Carriages may be ordered for II

defendants sold him a horse named
ED Weaver" for $3.50. He declares
that, prior to the sale, he informed the
defendants that he desired horse for
trotting purposes at meetings Of trot-
ting associations throughout the coun-
try. and that for such purpose 1t was
necessary that such horse should be
without a record or mark as to the
time within which he could or had
trctted mile or other distance, and
that he would be what is technically
known amongst horse dealers as a
campaigner and green horse.
and that he should have no mark The
complaint further alleges that the de-
PENDANTS warranted the horse to be a
"campa1gner" and a green horse and
to be essentially fitted for the business
for which plaintiff desired to purchase
him, and also to be perfectly sound.
Thereupon the plaintiff bought the
horse, paying the defendants $3.50
therefor.
The plaintiff further alleges that the
horse proved to be unsound, and that it
also turned out that he was not a cam
paigner, or a green horse, but ON the
contrary had a mark-several marks in
fact-having received one at Farming
ton, Mimi, one at Hutchinson, and
others at divers times and places prior
to the plaintiffs purchase of him, and
that he was therefore useless for the
purpose for which the plaintiff pur-
chased him. In Mr.. McCann's judg-
ment the horse was not worth more
than 500, whereas had he been as rep
resented he would have been worth
$500 to him. McCann, who therefore
considers himself damaged $780, Fur
thermore, Mr.. Mccain says he was
obliged to expend $50 for the services
of trainer in order to prepare the
horse for the trotting season. The
plaintiff declares that he did not make
these discoveries until August, and de-
mands Judgment against the defendant
for $3.50.
