Shall Minneapolis erect monument
in memory Of Abraham Lincoln?
That has become a practical queS-
ton, and the matter is to be presented
to the people of this city at public
meeting to be held at the Church Of
the Redeemer, on the 121st anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence by
the united colonies, Monday evening,
July 5.
Some time since there was organized
in this city a new ancestral order,
known as the Society of American
Wars, which is to embrace the de-
ScendantS of the men who fought in
any of the wars on the American con-
tinent. The date of the founding of
the order is Jan. II, 1897, but it has
already manifested the fact that there
is a field for it's operations. This So
ciety suggested the proposed memorial
to Abraham Lincoln in the form of a
grand monument to be erected at some
appropriate spot in Minneapolis. And
its first practical step in that direction
is the meeting announced to be held
at the Church of the Redeemer.

fed their willingness to act as vice

EXCURSION WRECKED.
Several Members of the Party From
Akron Seriously Injured.

AKRON, O., June 26.-The first sec
ton of Cleveland, Akron & Column
bus train, having on board the employees
of the Goodrich Rubber company, the
Diamond Rubber company and the
Akron India Rubber company, was run
into by Baltimore & Ohio train at
Millersburg this morning. Several peo-
pie were seriously injured.
The picnic train while running at a
rate of thirty miles an hour, struck the
regular nOrth-bound B. & O. a little
north of the Millersburg depot, which
it had just left. The engines crashed
together at terrific rate, and both were
completely demolished. The baggage
car of the picnic train, in which were
the wheelmen with their wheels, was
almost completely crushed and from
the appearance of the car, it is wonder
full that any of the occupants escaped
with their lives. The shock through
out the entire train was very violent
and several Of those in the very last
car were thrown violently from their
seats to the floor, receiving slight in
juries and bruises.
The engineer of the B. & O. valiantly
stuck to his engine until the very last
minute, while the fireman and engineer

told his engineer that the special was
not due until 9:16 a. M, and that he
should go ahead, when in reality the
orders read that the special was due

did all in their power to relieve the
suffering ones, and are entitled to the
greatest praise and thanks Of the I'M

of the above were riding in the baggag sc
car, being bicycle riders and having

AGAIN READY FOR THE JURY.
Judges Charge in Dickinson Case
VIII Be Made Monday

The evidence in the case of the state
against c. E. Dickinson, alderman of
the Twelfth ward, is all in, and the
case will go to the jury Monday night
AT 9 o'clock Monday morning the at
torney for the state will sum up, and
the defense will have its inning in the
afternoon.
1t is the general belief that the pres
ent case will result in a disagreement.
The evidence looks better for the de-
Tense than at the first trial, and upon
the very point that was the bone of
contention with the jury at the first
trial, as to whether or not Dickinson
had agreed with Bishop, that his own
conduct should be Influenced by the
payment of the money. At the first
trial the inference was that this was
the agreement, but in the present case
Bishop testified that he did not so I'M
derstand it,
1t may be possible however, that
Judge Elliott will make a change i'll
that portion of his charge. 1t is I'M
derstood that he has very carefully
looked up the authorities in that mat
ter, and will be more explicit to tha
jury, and lean more toward the side
of conviction in the charge to be given
Monday. The defense claims that he
cannot charge differently. They say
that the authorities say that it is no
crime under the law for a legislator
to accept money as a lobbyist, to work
for measure, and, under that same
rule, even if Dickinson did receive
money, if it was to use upon others
1T was no crime for him and the court
should so charge.
In the testimony of yesterday Aid
Dickinson, under the fire of cross-ex-
animation, made poor witness He
was not certain as to what he had tes-
titled to, and his evidence was in MANY
points different from that given at the
first trial In. his direct examination
he swore that when he met Bishop
at the printing office he taxed him with
having circulated the report that he
had paid money to the aldermen for
the printing contract; yet in crOsS-ex-
animation he SWOre positively that he
had never heard that money was paid
any aldermen. He had only heard a
rumor to the effect that Bishop had
used money in the deal. He had never
heard anything to connect the alder
men with it.
George Hull, who claimed to have
heard a conversation between Dickin-
son and Bishop, in which the latter
confessed that he had put the money
in his own pocket, told his story word
for word as at the first trial. When Mr.
peterson, in croSs-examinatiOn, asked
him to give fragments of the CONVEX
sation, however, he could not do so
without beginning at the beginning
and going all over it again. The tes-
timony closed with the evidence of G..
A. Pillsbury, L. B. Morrison, C. e.
Wenzell, w. H. Wooster, J. E. Kidder
and Harvey w Brown as to the good
character Of the accused.
Mr.. Harrison perfected his motions
relative to the error of the court with
the first jury, and former jeopardy and
the adjournment was taken.

TIRED OF HER TROUBLES.
Mrs. Inez Harrison Takes Morphine
and Sleeps i'm Death


Domestic unhappiness weighing upon
supersensitive disposition was the
cause which impelled Mrs. Inez Harri-
son, of 2501 Marshall street northeast,
to commit suicide Friday night by swal-
lowing the contents of a bottle of NOR
phine Unpleasant relations are said
to have existed for some time between
the unfortunate woman and her hus-
band, and of late their misunderstood
ingS and quarrels have been of frequent
occurrence She had frequently threat
ened to commit suicide.
While her husband was away from
the house she drank the poison, and
then went out on the street. officer
Brown, of the East side station. met
her walking up and down the sidewalk
IN front of the house and noticed that
she acted very strangely.
Her husband returned about O'Clock,
and she followed him into the house,
informing him of what she had done.
He believed that she was misleading
him, and paid no attention to her state
mentS.
AT IL o'clock she was seized with con-
Vuls1ons, and then, too late, the hus-
band sent for DR.. Laliberte The physi-
clan did all he could to save her. but
the poison had thoroughly penetrated
her system, and his efforts were power
less. Mrs. Harrison died at 2:30 O'Clock

An interesting feature of the British
fleet was the training ships, which
comprised three of the early ironclads,
a squadron Of cruisers, which usually
winters with a training crew on board
in the West Indies or in some other
warm latitude, and a fleet of training
briggs, which cruise in the neighbour
hood of the British ports.
The British fleet assembled June %
and was drawn up in four lines, ex-
tending from abreast of Portsmouth
harbor, a distance of about five miles
to the westward.
Following the precedent of former
naval reviews, there was free access
to the review ground up to the hour
named for the official inspection, when
all vessels with visitors anchored in
their assigned positions, and the tour
of the fleet was commenced by the
Prince Of Wales.
The commander-in-ch of this port,
Sir Newell Salmon, V. c., K. C. B., for
this occasion transferred his flag from
the Victory to the battleship Mars, one
Of the latest additions to the fleet, and
which has been built and fitted out in
two years, a great advance in rapidity
Of construction. The battleships Jupi-
ter, Victorious and Renown also made
their first appearance in the commits
stoned fleet. These four ships, as we'll
as the Majestic and Magnificent, are
armed with the new tWelve-inch wire
guns, of which each ship carries four
mounted en- barbette. two forward and
two aft. These guns have a range Of
about fifteen miles. In addition, they
carry twelve six-inch quick-firers, 1912
pdr. quick-firers and 1913 pdr Hotch-
kiss, and are fitted with five torpedo
discharge tubes. Another important
addition to the fleet was seen in the
two cruisers Powerful and Terrible. the
former commissioned for the China
station, vessels of $4,000 horse power
and speed of twenty-five knots They
include in their armament two 9-2-inch
guns and a number of quick-firers and
Maxims.

FORMER REVIEWS.

The waters of the Solent have previ-
ously witnessed many magnificent re-
views Of the naval forces of England
On April %, 1885, at the close of the
Crlmean war, great review was held
there, when there were columns OF
screw line-up-b attle-ships-at that
period the latest development of naval
fleet of sidewheel vessels, and of
floating batteries" of the Merrimac
type, while four squadrons of $50 gun
boats brought up the total number of
ships to 240. This fleet carried 5000
guns and was of 1851 horsepower
Admiral Sir George Seymour was in
chief command of this fine fleet, which
was reviewed by her majesty on board
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert
The changes in naval architecture
which have taken place during the
last fifty years have swept away all
these wooden vessels The classes to
which they belonged no longer exist.
the sole remaining vessel which still
takes the seas being the royal yacht
Victoria and Albert, which, today, car
ried the standard of the Prince of
Wales at the naval review. Probably
a more beautiful vessel of her class
has never been launched and the re-
cent announcement that the model of
a new steel yacht to replace her has
read without regret.
The next great review, held, at Spit
head, was on July II, 1867, when her
majesty, accompanied by the sultan of
Turkey, reviewed fleet of wooden YES
sells and ironclads (of which the most
modern of the latter were the Mino,
taur, Archilles, Warrior, Black Prince.
Bellerophon and Lord Clyde, under the
command of Sir Thomas Paisley, Bart,
K G. b.
On June 90, 1873, the waters of Spit
head We're again the scene of a naval
review-this time in honor of his ma
jesty, the shah of Persia. On Aug. IS,
1878, her majesty inspected the fleet at
Spithead, and on July %, 1887, on the
occasion of the queens jubilee, large
fleet was again assembled there and
reviewed by the sovereign. The most
modern ships present on that occasion
were the Collingwood, Imperieuse and
Conqueror The fleet was composed Of
1874 vessels, the personnel of 10000 off,
GERS and men.
During the past decade enormous ad-
vance has been made, both in the num-
Der and construction of the ships of the
royal navy, and this cannot better be
exemplified than by the fact that of
the twenty-one battleships reviewed by
the Prince of Wales, in behalf of the
queen, today, four only took part in
the jubilee ceremony of 1887, while of
the forty-three cruisers present not one
existed in 1887. Needless to say the
thirty torpedo boat destroyers are of
class which has only been introduced
during the past five years, and which

HAVANA, June 26.-Rumors have
been af1oat here since yesterday morn
ing, probably emanat ting from official
circles, that Gen. Maxine Gomez, the
insurgent commander-in-chi has been
killed in a fight near the military line
in the province of Puerto Principe. The
reports have not been confirmed. Capt.
Gen. Weyler arrived this morning at
JucarO and continues his trip to Man
zanillo. Later today the reports of the
killing of Gen. Gomez was modified to
the statement that he has been serious
ly wounded, but nobody outside Of Of
fetal circles believes this report to be
true. La Lucia publishes dispatch
from Tunas stating that in the last
engagement between the Spanish forces
and the insurgents, under Gen. Max
imo Gomez the horse ridden by Gomez
was shot under him. According to Off
cial advices a number Of insurgents
who have surrendered to the authori-
ties at P1acetas, assert positively that
in the same engagement in which Gen.
Gomez's horse was killed, the insur-
gent leader himself was wounded. Of
fetal reports say that no engagements
of Importance have taken place recent
ly.
A stage coach bound from Havana

LAND IN LIEU OF CASH.
City May Reach "a Compromise with
H. f. Brown

The plan to purchase a tract of seventeen
acres OF land from. H. F. Brown and add the
same to the workhouse site, which it adioins
on the west, the payment to be in settlement
OF portion of the obligations of Mr. Brown
to the city, is to be considered by the board
OF charities and corrections at a meeting to
be held next Saturday.
The committee Of aldermen who have the
Brown settlement in charge are quite will
ing, it is understood to accept this land in
the DEAL provided it can be charged to the
Workhouse appropriation, but the board of
charities and corrections does not feel that
way. They say they are willing and glad
to take the land and use it for the city's
benefit as it consists of pasture land and
woods which are needed to make the work
house site complete. But they are in need
of some building improvements, so much
more than they need more land that they
are not prepared to forego their right to the
building appropriation for the sake of get
ting this land. Supt. Meloy is strongly in
favor of the acquisition of the land, as are
the members of the board, but it is hardly
probable that this. land will be given to the
workhouse without charging it to it's annual
allowance.
