gress TO make an appropriation in indem-
nification Of the owners and late master
Of the Swedish steamer Nicaragua. The
master of this ship took aboard at Blue
fields an American citizen as refugee in
time of revolution to save the mans life

a long time, because she had aboard a pas
senger from Bluefelds, an infected port.
Meantime. her cargo of fruit rotted and
was total loss, and the master of the
vessel was discharged because Of the loss
resulting from his humane action. The
owners were sued by the charterers and
were obliged to pay for the cargo. The
Secretary of States does not name an
indemnity. but the claim amounts to be-
tween 5000 and $1,000.

Arrested,

Last week the HERALD noted the fact
that Dahlem's grocery store had been
broken into andsa considerable amount
of goods stolen. Suspicion was ar
lars by the presentation of aDahlem
due bill which was offered at the dry
goods store in payment for goods.
Yonng Albert Dahlem questioned the
the fellow closely as to where he got
the due bill, and his answers were hest
tating, and not at all satisfactory. He
said he had taken it in exchange from
a stranger. This fact was given to Of
ficer Murphy, who followed up the clue
to successful conclusion. He got out
search warrent, and found the stolen
goods concealed in trunk, in house
on the farm of A. D. Carpentar in
Ashley, occupied by George Breen,
George Schneider and Henry Schneider
who is working the farm. Other goods,
including large number of tools etc.,
were also found, which at least raises
the suspicion that they, too, were stolen.
The three were arrested on Wednes-
day by officer Murphy, and brought to
the city, and this morning were ar
ranged before Judge Hogan.
The prisoners were arraigned before
Judge Hogan and the examination con-
tinued until this evening.

which Glenwood is a part:
The Rev. James Dow Morrison, M.
D., L. L. D., was consecrated Bishop
at ALI Saints Cathedral, Albany, on
Feb. 2. The vestments, in which he
was consecrated, were presented to him
by St. Agnes guild of his late parish.
The Arch-deaconry, of Ogdensburg,
presented him with an Episcopal ring,
and the other clergy of the diocese
gave him a gold pectoral cross, set
with amethysts. His former parishio-
ners in Herkimer gave him a Bishops
Ordinal handsomely bound. Bishop
Morrison carries with him to his new
field of labor the affection, admiration
and confidence of his associates in the
diocese of Albany. and the best wishes
of all who knew him.
Bishop Morrison will make his first
official visitation here on Sunday next,
preaching at the Episcopal church at
1890 a. m. On Saturday he will visit
Melrose, and on Sunday afternoon he
will preach at st. Johns in Ashley,
probably returning here for evening
service and sermon.

Adjusted.

The losses occasoned by the fire on the
Kellerc ernor have been promptly and sat
istactorily adjusted. The building was in =
sured for SI25o and the fixtures for $3.50,
one-half each in the Aetna and the Lancan-
shire companies Their aijusters, Messrs-
Ensign and Bruin came up last Monday and
adjusted the losses. allowing the full amount
of the policies on the building, and nearly all
in the fixtures, scaling the loss on the Latter
but a few dollars.
Dobbs Bros. & Co. were insured for $4,000
$4,000 in the London, and Liverpool Globe,
$1,000 in the Westchester and $500 in the
Milwaukee Mechanics. Two adiusters,
Messrs. Simpson and Windell, came up to-
adjust the losses, and after an exhaustive ex-
animation of the matter, awarded $500 to be
distributed pro rata between the three cam
panies.
Both of these adjustments are considered
fair and liberal by the insured, and they are
satisfied. 1t is a pleasure to note the dispos-
ition of these companies to act promptly and
fairly, and to pay without delay. Such
action strengthens confidence in fire insur-
ance.

Jim Wakefield Dead.

James 0. Wakefield was found dead
in his bed at $40 Cedar street on Sun
day morning says the Pioneer Press.
Death was caused by cerebral hemor-
rhage.
Mr.. Wakefield's sudden death was
not unexpected. For nearly his whole
life he has been subject to epileptic fits
| and in recent years they have been
quite frequent and severe. Two weeks
ago he fell in the corridor of the Mer-
chants hotel and since then he has not
been well. Saturday, however, he told
This friends that he was feeling better
than he had for many years. He atten-
ded to his business as usual and at 6
o'clock in the evening he ate hearty
dinner. He retired at 10 o'clock. Yes
terday morning Miss Virgins, the SER
want, went to his room to call him for
breakfast, but received no answer.
! About o'clock the girl told several of
| the boarders of the circumstance and
they decided to investigate. The door
of his room was locked and there was
no transom. Frank Grayson managed
to get into the room by passing from
the window of his own room. Mr.
Wakefield was found lying on his face
on the bed. The clothing was little
disturbed.
Coroner Nelson was at once notified.
A post norton examination was held
later in the Bantz & DOugherty's un-
dertaking rooms by Coroner Nelson
and DR.. Sweeney and their verdict was
that Wakefield had died from cerebral
hemorrhage. From the condition of
the body it is thought that the man died
at midnight.
Mr.. Wakefield was forty years old.
He was born in Connecticut, but lived
most of his life in st. Paul. When a
young boy he was employed by Far
we'll, Ozmun, Kirk & Co., and remained
! with the firm for fifteen years, becom-
| ing one of the best statesmen of the
house. He left the firm about ten years
ago and recently he has been with the
Home Insurance company.
Mr.. Wakefeld's father was surgeon
at Fort Smelling a number of years
ago and died at Blue Earth. After
his death Mrs. Wakefield and her son,
James, were captured by the Indians
in the outbreak in 1852. J.. B. Wake
field, ex-lieutenant governor of Mime
sofa, now living in Blue Earth City, is
Mr.. Wakefeld's uncle. He will arrive
here to-day and will make the arrange
ments for the burial.
Mr.. Wakefield has lived with Mrs.
Primer at $40 Cedar street for the past
two years, but he seld ON spoke of his
family or his relatives. Saturday eve
ming he told Mrs. Primer that his moth
| err, a sister and brother, Saived at
Merriam Park. The brother and sis
ter were notified of Mr.. Wakefeld's
death and both viewed the remains yes
