SCHEME IS PUT UP TO LET HIM
GET OUT OF HIS
TROUBLE.
R0EBUCK MAY DISAPPEAR
TO SEEK HIS FORTUNE IN
ALASKA,
HILE FUREY'S ASSOCIATES
Revel I'm His Release From n Pre-
dfcament as Unpleasant as
Could he Imagined.

VIII kid Furey, who is confined
at the county Jail on the charge of
robbing George Roebuck of $500 last
| week, escape a trial for his alleged
| offenSe? The authorities have held g.
series of consultations, finally retaining
! possession of the $500 recovered from
Furey, and complacently assert that
the prisoner will certainly be made to
answer to the court Furey, however,
! is giving. himself no uneasiness, and if
EplaRSa which are said to have already
| been put on foot materialize, Roe
/ buck Will vanish from the Clarendon
| hotel one of these days, and when
/ Furey's case is investigated by the
grand jury there will be no prosecuting
witness. When Roebuck leaves st.
Paul he will go with $500 tucked away
in his pockets, though the money belt
and his original wealth may still be
in the possession of the police, for it
is said that Furey's friends will not
see him take chances on a trial, and
are now gathering the money with
which to reimburse Roebuck, and thus
induce him to leave the city. Furey's
friends are said to be many and of
a class which will not desert a COM
panion in trouble. They are men who
can raise money with little or no effort,
and will come to the front for a young
man with such a bright future be-
fore him.
The plan already Undertaking. is
simple Roebuck claims to have lost
$7C0. The authorities have recovered
$500 Of the money, but are holding it
as evidence. The only concern Roebuck
has in the affair is to regain possession
of his money. He is on his way to
Alaska, and the sooner he can get
started the better he will be suited.
But he cannot we'll continue his journey
without funds. This is the point about
Which matters are said to be shaping
themselves, both for Furey's benefit
and also for Roebuck's, inasmuch as 1t
is proposed to make up purse of $500
and present it to the New Yorker
so that he may not be disappointed in
reaching the KlOndike gold fields. With
his money restored, Roebuck, it is argu-
ed among Furey's friends, will have no
further motive for remaining in st.
Paul, and in return for the favor done
him in the return of the money it is
considered an easy matter to induce
him to resume his travels. Naturally,
If engaged in gathering nuggets in the
Klondike, Roebuck, 1t is figured, will
have no motive to induce his return to
the city to testify against Furey, and
the young man perforce must be dis
charged. Should the plan be success
full, bearing in mind that Roebuck no
longer has any claim on the money in
possession Of the police, a civil action
can be Instituted by Furey for this
money, on the claim that it belongs to
him: 1t does not belong to the police;
Roebuck will make no claim to it, and
as it is alleged to have been found on
F'urey, who can lay better claim to the
property? 1t is a nice arrangement and
one which the friends of Furey are
confident of carrying to success.

A TOAD SHOWER.
The Reptiles Fell in Countless Num-
hers Near Boston.

During the heavy showers Of yesterday
countless numbers of diminutive toads de-
scended from the heavens in Cambridge, says
the Boston Transcript.
The little creatures covered the streets and
made walking on the sidewalks a difficult
matter. The toads appeared to be confined to
Ward T. which is the district south of Mas
sachusetts avenue, although many were found
in other parts Of the city.
The toads were no larger than half or
three-quarters of an inch square. and many
fall particularly on the lawns of the district.
At these places the ground was fairly alive,
the grass being almost hidden from view.
Many of the toads we're trampled to death
because some of thenfz were so small that
they were not, easily PERCEIVED. Some of the
small boys Of thes neighborhood took the
chance to make COLLECTION. Hundreds of the
captured creatures may be seen in several
back yards. s1

Although wise man has ventured the as
sertion that the taads game from the earth

state that they saw the toads descending

MEND TWO BRIDGES.
jackson Street and University Ave-
nue. Viaducts Need Repairs.

City Engineer Rundlett has prepared
specifications for the putting in order
Of the University avenue and Jackson
street bridges. The estimated cost of
the work necessary is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, of which $4,000 will be
expended on the University avenue
bridge and the balance OH the Jackson
street structure. The specifications
call for new, wooden floor on the
University avenue bridge roadway, on
top of which will be laid a brick pave
ment. The structure will also have to
be reprinted. The expense of the work
will, in the opinion of the corporation
attorney, have to be borne by the
Great Northern and Minnesota Trans
fer Railway companies, although the
street railway company will have to
stand about $4,000 Of the total amount
for the paving between it's tracks.
The estimate of; the. city engineer for
the Jackson street bridge is $4,000,
which includes new wooden floor,
paving with brick, painting the struc-
ture, and placing new hand ratings
on the sidewalks of the bridge. Under
the Interpretation of the law by the
corporation attorney, this bridge will
have to be put in order by the Great
Northern Railway company

Wlnchler in pursuit. He caught her
again, according to her story, and
struck her about the body several

W1nchler's story is to the effect that
MS daughter came home crying, and
said the Day girl had hurt her. The
father then went out to inquire into
the matter, and ordered the Day girl
to go home. Winchler denies that he
struck the girl or took hold of her. He

DANISH LUTHERANS GLAD
over the CO9secF.ation of n New
PlacesOf Worship.


A very cosy little Church home is the
edlhce of the Danish Lutheran society,
at orleans and Williams streets, and it
was dedicated yesterday afternoon with
appropriate and impressive ceremonies.
Inc church was originally built in 1884,
when the congregation was organized,
put In the passing years the society
grew to such Numbers that the audito-
rum was inadauate to meet the in
creasing demands Upon it's space. so
this last spring5it was decided to build
an addition to the building. This has
now been completed, and yesterday
witnessed It's conservation.
ON this special and memorable occa-
sion, the interior was made beautiful
by profusion of flowers, and the
church itself was crowded with the
members Of the congregation. Ad-
dresses were made in the Danish Ian
guage by Rev. Messrs. Peterson, Kali
hede and Jorgenson, while special
musical programme was rendered by
the choir and congregation.
The pastor of the church is Rev. G.
c. Peterson, who also conducts services
in Minneapolis church, preaching
there in the forenoon and here in the
afternoon.

GOOSE SENSE.
How the Web-FOoted Fowls of an
English Town DisDIav IT.

The sagacity of the goose is demonstrated
at Oxford, where the city owns a common
pasture that is accessible to all freeholders
of the town-that is citizens who own prop
erty-and such can pasture their domestic
animals there free of cost, says the Oxford
England correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord. Citizens who are not freeholders have
to get a license, for which they pay three
pence week per animal and a penny per
week per goose. The pasture at daybreak
is well filled with cows horses, donkeys
sheep and other live stock, and hundreds Of
geese that roam in large focks; but each
goose is said to know his own master and
mistress, and even the children of the fam
lily to which he belongs, if he or she had
the intelligence of dog or cat; but what is
more to their credit, when night falls the
great flock of geese on the common volun-
tarily divides itself into little punches. and
each bunch takes its own path homeward
travelling in single file through the streets
never get mixed up with the wrong compan-
ions, but with the cleaning they solemnIy
seek their roosts without troubling their
owners. This shows that the Oxford goose is
as wise as his generation, and may be due to
the influence of the university and the schools
for the higher education Of women.

ROBBED A FIREMAN.
No. Engine House Is Visited by
Thieves.

While Engine Company No. 1, at
Ninth and Fort streets. was at the
Commission Furniture and Carpet
company fire early yesterday morn
ing, an enterprising sneak thief stole
$40 belonging to Pipeman Joseph De-
vine. The money was left in the pock-
ct in Devine's trousers which hung
over the foot of his bed when he went
to the fire. After the alarm, the en-
CINE house was deserted for nearly an
hour until Company No. came down
from Selby avenue and Mackubin
street, and it was thought that some
THIEF entered the house during this
interval. or that the theft was corfr->
mftted by a member of the visiting
company. There is no Waterman. at
Engine House No. 1, and Devine says
his money could have easily been
taken in one of these ways. His watch
which was also in the extra pair of
trousers, was not stolen FOR were
Valuables belonging to other firemen
disturbed. Devine is of the belief that
had professional thief robbed him he
would have stolen more extensively.
The theft was reported to the police.

CINCINNATI, O., Aug 15.-For three
months a band of whitecaps has
been causing terror in the vicinity OF
Kensington, KY, and determined stand will
be made against them by the people Of that
section. About two weeks ago they called at
the home of Edward Bolan, the superintend-
force compelled him to go to the woods with
them. They then whipped and beat him in
a most brutal manner. Later they found a
man named O'Harra camping on Kensngton
lake with a woman, who, he claimed, was
his wife, and beat both the man and woman
shamefully.

was advertised to go down the river
as far as Red Wing and back, but,
owing to the low condition of

the very large load on the boat,
the excursion was not able to get anv
