THAT MARBLE YARN
LATEST GUESS OF a MORNING
PAPER ABOUT NEW CAPITOL
STONE.
AS FAR OFF AS THE OTHERS.
ORGANIZED LABOR IN MINNEAPO-
LIS PUT TO SOME TROUBLE IN
THE NATTER.
LIMIT TO THE MONEY TO BE USED
knocks Out Even Thought About
the Use of Georgia
Marble.

When the state capitol commission
finally decides what stone the new
building is to be constructed of and
awards the contract. it Will not only
relieve the contractors from their perch
on the anxious seat, but will also prob
ably put an end to the guessing Of the
Pioneer Press.
The first story started by that paper,
in connection with this matter, was
that the board would go outside of the
state for its stone, wien the commits
sioners. practically said there was no
thought of so doing. It's more recent
guess was that Georgia marble would
probably be the kind Of stone used.
The publication of this second surmise
has had as mischievous effect as the
former. Some Minneapolis Workmen
have taken the story for granted, and
the organized labor Of that city has
been aroused by the report that the
board is inclined towards Georgia mar
BILE and will use That material in the
building. At the next meeting of the
commissioners tomorrow afternoon
they will be waited upon by a commit
tee from Minneapolis, composed of the
president Of the Minneapolis Trades
and Labor council, the Building Trades
council, the Central Labor Body of st.
Cloud, the officers of the State Fedora
tfon Of Labor and other labor repre-
sentatives. These will enter a protest
against the commissions going outside
Of the state for stone, claiming that
the best in the country can be found
within our own doors. They will not
pretend to dictate what kind of stone
shall be used, only that it shall be Min
nesota stone. quarried in this state
and by local labor.
Concerning the statement that the
board was considering the Georgia
marble. one member of the commission
only laughed and said that the Pioneer
Press was entitled to fresh guess
every day, and had already exhausted
the long list Of stones. Said hes
L cannot speak for Inc actions of
the other commissioners, but you can
rest assured Of ore thing, that we will
not choose Georgia marble. Even if
we were favorably inclined towards
that stone, the cost OF it would prohibit
IT'S use. as the appropriation would be
lnsuf1icient-and we are not going to
exceed our appropriation. We are 60
ing to cut our coat according to our

tage Grove. the services being held at
the house in the afternoon. Rev. Mr..
Riscoe, the local pastor, and DR.. S.
q. Smith, of ST. Paul, presided and
paid fitting tributes to the memory of
the departed hero. A large number OF
friends Of the family and also of the
old comrades of the general were IN
attendance, showing by their presence
their sympathy to the bereaved ones
and their regret at the death Of a citi-
zen whom the community could i'll af-
ford to lose The floral offerings were
numerous and handsome, emblemS Of
the high regard, in which the general
was held by his friends and comrades.
Gen. Hartman has lived at the Hot
Springs for eight years, but will be
remembered by his hosts Of ST. Paul
friends as a genial, cOurtly gentleman
and most interesting man. He was
DOII III maine IN 1870, ana IN AZ went
to California with the gold seekers
Returning a, few years later, he was
married in Bangor, Maine, in 1858.
Two years afterward he came to the
st. Croix valley and was for many
years the life Of the numbering inter-
ests of that country.
When the war broke out, he enlisted
as captain in the Twenty-seventh Wis

ing in 1854 and was, with his regi-
ment, in the great mine explosion in
front of Petersburg. For his gallantry
at this time he was made brigadier
general and commanded the First bri-
sade of the First division of the Ninth
army corps. He continued in this com>
mand until the close of the war, when
he led the grand review at Washing
ton with his brigade. This was a great
honor and one of which the general
was justly proud. His last visit to ST.
Paul was during the G. A. R. encamp-
ment last fall, when he had the pleas
ure of . meeting all of the surviving
members of his staff.
His only surviving child is Mrs. Sew
erance.

police arrested in this city two weeks
ago on the charge of robbing the
butcher shop of Peter Bieler, on West
Seventh street, eight years ago, still
abides in the county Jail. He is await
ing affidavits from citizens of Colum-

alibi for him by showing that he vas

1889, when the crime was committed
Eichenlaub, as he calls himself, is an
understood young man about thirty
years, with coal black hair and mus
tache, clear complexion and a frank
expression. When seen at the jail
last night, he said to a reporter for
the G. l o BE:
81 expect to be out of here by next
Tuesday or Wednesday; that is as soon
as my brother, who lives at Chillicothe,
O., sends on the papers that he is pre-
pairing in Columbus. These papers will
contain affidavits that will prove 1 was
in Columbus all the time in the year
1889. They say that the name of the
man who robbed this butcher is Charles
Darck. L don't know anything about
the butcher or Darck."
''Is this the first time you were ever
in st. Paul?"
''No, sir. I was here once before
in 1891. 1 spent about three weeks
here that year, working in a restau-
rant Then 1 went to Des Moines,
where 1 have been ever since engaged
in the restaurant business. Some time
ago 1 started a restaurant for myself,
but was unfortunate, and so 1 took
advantage of an excursion rate to ST..
Paul and came up here two weeks ago
Wednesday. 1 secured a room on
Wabasha street, opposite the capitol
building, and on Friday night, or rather
about 1 O'Clock Saturday morning. 1 was
arrested at my room by Patrolman
Murnane and another officer. 1 was
taken to the police station, and the
next day the butcher, Mr.. Beiler, and
three or four other men who saw me
there said 1 was the man who stole
Mr.. Beiler's till and $183 in 1889. 1 never
saw Mr.. Befler nor any of the people
who professed to identify me before
in my life. My name is Anton Eichen-
laub and my mother and brother live
in Chillicothe O."

After an Inquest.

Mary Dupuis, the young woman ar
rested for the murder of her infant,
presented a pitiable. appearance when
arraigned in the police court yesterday

ly stand when she was called to the
clerks desk. M. J. Costello appeared
for her and asked that the hearing be
adjourned until he had time to look up
the case This was granted and the
young woman was committed to Jail
She now claims that she did not know
what she was doing at the time she
threw the child in the river, and has
a very dim recollection of the events
following her departure from the house
with the child on Saturday morning,
and her arrival at the home of her
parents in Saltwater the same evening"
The preliminary examination is set for
Tuesday in the police court.
Coroner Nelson visited the office of
the county attorney, yesterday, and
was advised by that official that it
would be the proper course to have an

the inquest would be held under the
direction of Deputy Coroner Ball. prob
ably Monday afternoon.
A brother of the prisoner from Still

STOLE GINSENG ROOT.
That Is the Charge Against Peter
BeerS.


Peter Beers, a fisherman living at
Long Lake, Hennepin county, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detec-
tives Murnane and Wells on a charge
of stealing twelve pounds of ginseng
root. Beers, who is forty-four years
old, when fishing is dull, puts in his
spare time digging for the ginseng
root. He was not very successful in
securing the stuff, but w. C. Smith,
farmer friend, had managed to get
about twelve pounds of the root to-
gether Friday afternoon Beers called
at Smiths house, and, as there was no
one at home, he proceeded to a closet
and dug the entire output of ginseng
from it's hiding place. Beers then
walked five miles to Hamel, station
on the 500 road, and came to Mime
apolis to dispose of his catch Yester-
day afternoon he called at Noyes Bros
& Cutters esta ablishment and offered
the root for sale. AS 1t is worth about
So a pound, and Beers did not appear
to be judge of the article, although
he claimed to have dug it, the police
were telephoned to. About this time
the Minneapolis police reported that W.
c. Smith, of Long Lake. had said he
had been robbed of a quantity Of the
stuff which Beers was trying to dispose
of. Smith was told the man was under
arrest here, and, accompanied by De-
tectiVe Doyle, came over and identified
both his property and the thief. Beers
made g. big bluff when arrested and
threatened the detective with suit for
false Imprisonment, but when confront
ed by Smith broke down. Beers was
taken back to Minneapolis.
