DEATH OF MISS TANNING.
Human Skill Unable to Save the
Young WOman's Life.

Miss Isabelle Tanning. who has been
dang eroUsly i'll at st. Joseph's hospital
for the past two weeks, suffering with
malignant blood poisoning, died shortly
after o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Georgia Tanning, the young WOman's
mother and her sister, of New York
city, were at her beside when the end
came, having been summoned from the
East when the character Of Miss Fan,
ning's illness became known. Miss
Tanning was conscious to the last, and
when informed that she must die. re,
ceived the Intelligence without the
slightest trepidation. .... .
The death of Miss Tanning is partic-
ularly sad, as she had come to Min
nesOta in hopes of benefiting her
health, having left Columbia college, in
New York state, to take up an indefi,
mite residence with the family of c. A.
Severance, of this city, last November
Several weeks ago Miss Tanning went
to Duluth to visit friends, and while
there was seized with the disease which
caused her death. What was apparent
ly an ordinary cold sore on the young
Woman's lip, caused her some concern
shortly after her arrival in the Zenith
CITY. but beyond local treatment nOtn-
ing was thought of the abrasion until
local treatment failed to cure it, Later
Inflammation set in and soon affected
not only the lip but also the right side
Of the neck and the right breast. So
serious had the case become, when a
Duluth physician was called to attend
Miss Tanning, that he at once advised
her removal to st. Paul for treatment.
Arriving here the young woman was
sent to st. JOseph's hospital, where DIR.
Wheaton, after a consultation by which
1t was decided that there was but one
means OF saving her life, performed a
critical operation. Five other physi-
clans assisted in the operation. but
their combined skill could not overcome
the virulent disease, and the young life
passed quietly away yesterday in the
presence of those who had cherished
it. Miss Tanning was nineteen wears
of age and a cousin of Mrs C. A. Sew
erance, from whose residence the fu-
neral will take place this afternoon at
p. m. Rev. w. r. Lord will officiate
and the interment will be at Cottage

HELD UP TWICI
Joseph Hart Has IL Rather Unusual
Experience.

Joseph Hart, the engineer of the
House of the Good Shepherd, was
twice held up and robbed by the same
pair of footpads Tuesday night while
on his way home from his place of en-
plOyment. The dual robbery took
place shortly before midnight, and at
$50 yesterday morning John Wagner,
living at 602 Thomas street, and Ben
jamin Clemens living at GrOttO and
La Fond streets, were prisoners at the
RCndo street police station on the
charge of committing the crimes.
When arraigned in the municipal court
yesterday both prisoners denied any
knowledge of the hold-ups, but Hart
positively identified them as his as
SailantS.
Hart first encountered the men near
the corner of ST Adams and Thomas
streets. Wagner, it is claimed, asked
Hart for 80 cents with which to pro-
cure lodgings for the night, and while
the engineer was inquring into the
actual needs of the pair for the money.
Clemens is said to have seized him
from behind. Before he realized the
situation the fOOtpads had fed, taking
with them Harris $40 gold watch.
Somewhat excited Hart resumed his
homeward journey and turned down
LafOnd street. He saw a man on the
opposite side of the street some distance
ahead of him, but did not dream of
second attack until the man rushed
toward him brandishing what APP
peared to be a slungshot and threaten
ing to assault him if he did not give
up his money. Hart claims his second
assailant was the smaller of the two
men whom he first encountered, and,
after the fellow had appropriated 81
which he carried in his pocket, he re-
ported his exciting experiences to the
ROndO street station. Hart gave a
very good description of the thugs,
and when Officers c. w. Smith and
Charles Mayer were detailed on the
case they decided to round up Wagner
and Clemens prolonged search To-
Gated both men at Wagner's house,
and when they were arrested Harris
watch was found in their possession.
The preliminary hearing of the prison
ers on the charge of highway robbery
was set for Monday.

NO DESIRE TO LEAVE.
Georgia Wardncr at the House OF
Good Shepherd by Choice.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
yesterday in the district court to Sc
cure the release or discharge of an in
mate Of the House of the Good Shep-
herd, who says she is perfectly con-
tented with her lot at the institution,
and does not wish to leave it. The at
tempt was in the nature Of habeas
corpus proceedings, instituted appar-
emily in behalf of a woman known in
the House of the Good Shepherd as
Carmel but whose real name is
George Wardner. The petition asking
for the writ is signed by one Seine
JeWett, who has also been an inmate
of the institution. f. S. Thompson
drew the petition, and appeared as the
attorney for the relatOr.
The petition alleges that the woman
known as Carmel is thirty-eight years
of age, and that she has been forcibly
and against her will detained, impris-
oned and confined for the past twenty
two years within the House of the
Good Shepherd. in rooms securely
closed, locked. barred and fastened"
and that escape is impossible. The pc
titiOner further declares that the sole
reason for the detention of Carmel
is based on the moral delusion that the
House of the Good Shepherd society
actually owns the woman, and that she
is of the chattels and property of Ell
Their the society or the lady superior.
Near the close of the petition Attor-
ney Thompson Incorporates the follow
ing sarcastic paragraph:
Your sad af1ant and petitioner doth fur
Their aver and represent unto your honor
that said Imprisonment, confinement, daten-
ton and restraint has at all times been and
now is wholly Illegal, for the reasons, inter
ALA that the said Ramsey county hath never
been and is not now a part of or tributary
to medieval Europe and that said Ramsey
county hath at al times been and now Is
wholly within the political and geographical
boundaries of the United States Of America
and of necessity within the conservative and
regulative scope jurisdiction and legal oper-
alton OF the Nenefcent provisions of the four
teenth amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton. ... tt 5n4
But the pleading proved of no avail,
for upon the hearing before Judge
Lewis yesterday afternoon Carmel"
or George Wardner. when placed upon
the stand testified that it was true she
had lived at the House Of the Good
Shepherd for twenty-five years, and
that she had no desire to leave that
institution, as She was well cared for
by the society, and perfectly satisfied.
Judge Lewis thereupOn discharged
the writ of habeas corpus, and Carmel
and a sister from the House of the
Good Shepherd, who accompanied her
to court, returned to their home.

Maj. Jones, Of the engineering de-

the question is debatable. Said he yes
terday:
Il calculate the chances cf a flood
about even. 1t is difficult to decide,
much depending on contingencies that
may arise in the future. 1 have been
keeping careful track of the amount of
snow on the ground, and have taken
measurements at the various MISSISSIPPI
pi dams Up in the reservoir, the
drainage basin Of the Mississippi, sixty
inches of snow have fallen There is
only about three feet on the ground.
the balance having passed off by evap-
Grafton. 1 find that the snow convert
ed into water is differently reported
at the different dams. At POkegama
dam the amount is 51a inches of water;
at Sandy lake, Z inches, and at Pine
river, So inches. This water must go
into the river or be absorbed by the
ground. Where the ground is dry, a
large quantity will be absorbed, but in
the swamps and lake surfaces, all of it
will go into the river.
The river is yet low, and it has not
yet begun to rise in these parts. Fur
Their south in the region of the Ohio
and south of that the river is over
its banks. The floods below always oc-
cur earlier and subside, as a rule. long
before the water begins to rise in this
country.
In this regard Providence seems to
have disposed wisely, otherwise, if the
high water came at the same time all
along the length of the river, the flood
would be very serious. The chances for
a flood will depend largely on whether
the snow will stay until the heavy
spring rains come. With the snow and
the rain a flood would be inevitable.
But 1 look for the large bulk of the
snow to disappear by evaporation and
by soaking into the ground before the
coming of the spring rains.
Il anticipate that this country. as
well as the country drained by the Red
River of the North, will see some mag
nificent crops this summer, as the re-
suit Of the big snow fall Instead Of
feeling alarm. they have reason to
felicitate."

Mayor DOran, acting on the recon-

the new school buildings which will be

his opinion the appointment Of Mr.
Gerlach would save the school board
in the neighborhood Of $1,000, which
would have to be paid any other per
son than Mr.. Gerlach. He had, how
ever, asked Mr.. Gerlach to secure a
certificate from some reliable architect
to show that he was fully competent to
attend to the duties of the position
AS soon as these had been secured, and
the mayor thought there was no ques-
ton but that Mr. Gerlach could secure
such recommendations, the appoint
ment would be made
