MID THEt INDIAN MOUNDS.
DESTRUCTION OF A PALATIAL
MANSION ON DAYTON'S
4 BLUFF. i;
1T IS NowEA MoURNFUL RELIC.
Sad Story of Mr. Eisenmenger's
Ambitious Real Estate En-
rterprise.
MID THEl INDIAN MOUNDS.
1T IS NowEA MoURNFUL RELIC

Like the mournful ruin Of some feu-
dal castle, standing on commanding
bit of ground on lDayton's bluff, sur
rounded by the remnants Of the handl-
work Of the prehistoric nloundbu:lders,
stands a pile of stone and brick, wealth
erbeaten and discolorad by exposure to
the sun, which was not many years
ago the magnificent home Of one OF st.
Paul's citizens. The construction Of
this beautiful house was the sequel to
series of judicioIs transactions in ST.
Paul realty, and its sensational de-
struction by fire within year Of it's
completion stands as unique excep-
tion to the blind good fortune which is
said to follow the sometimes unac-
countable doings Of the nouVeau richie.
The house was built and ready fofi
occupancy in the summer Of 1892. In
the spring Of the following year the
fire demon laid his touch upon the
structure, nothing of which now re-
mains but enough of the substantially
built walls to suggest it's pristine beau
ty and solidity.
John F. Eisenmenger, with his wife
and eight children, was living mod
estly upon the revenue derived from a
meat store, augmented now and again
by successful real estate deals. It was
during the boom times, and while the
meat business was steady, that the
real estate deals increased in number
and productixeness, and Mr.. Eisen-
menger-agaiIst the advice of some Of
his more conservative friends-pur-
chased a quantity of it on and near
what is now Rice street. The long and
short of 1t alliis that the property be-
came valuable, and Mr.. Eisenmenger
disposed of enough Of 1t to good advan-
tage to make him comparatively
rich man, and kept enough on which
to build several large business blocks.
Then he cast about him for a suitable
location upon which to build him a
home more ia keeping with his i'm
proved condition. Il He chose a lot 125
feet front, facingeon Mound street, in
block "a in Suburban Hills on Daytons S
bluff, in the very midst of what since
has been made Indian Mound park, and
where are still left substantial traces
Of the work Of the builders of long
ago. 1t appears that his purchase of
the property, and the decision of the
property owners in the neighborhood
to make a park of it all, were made
nearly at the same time, but he would
have none of the plan and stoutly de-
clined to give up his lot for the purpose
except under conditions, which were
not then accepted Some difficulty was
encountered in the park scheme, and
the land was assessed three times be-
fore the supreme court finally confirm
ed the action and started the park into
being But all that has little to do with
Mr.. Eisenmenger and his new home
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-09-26

He thought he should lay out, say s10,-
600 for good home. and StraightWay
engaged the services of an architect
named Ives to draw plans and specif1-
cations. Mr.. Eisenmenger thought $10,-
600, but 1t Is presumed the architect
considered this sum far too small for
the amount increased little by little
as new clever details were suggested
to the wealthy butcher, until the origi-
nal figures were quadrupled. Mr.
Eisenmenger wanted nothing omitted
which would add to the happiness Of
his family and the pleasure Of their
friends.
Finally the house was built. Con-
structed in unique combination of
architectural styles, pressed brick and
sandstone trimmings were the princi-
pal materials used, and even the ruins
today show how we'll the building was
arranged as to symmetry and general
effectiveness. AS will be seen from
the picture, which accompanies this
story, the front entrance to the palace
Of the modest butcher, was imposing.
From one end of the main structure
was reared a substantial tower, most
of which is still standing, while great
columns lend an air of solidity to the
pile and breakathe severity of the walls.
On one approach to the building is a
dignified portes cochere through which
the broad roadway from the street to
the house leads. The house contained
sixteen rooms, not including the SER
wants quarters. Cherry, antique oak,
birds eye maple, Yand other natural
woods were exclusively used in the
finishing Of the interior, while hand
carvings We're plentiful through the
house and especially in the immense
ball room, which, was on the third
floor. Marble and metal fittings were
used in all the work where the best
sanitation was desideratum, and di-
rectly opposite the big main entrance
of the place stood a large stained glass
window, which, it is said, cost $4,000.
The house was model in every re-
spect, and brightly lighted at night,
shone forth in all its brilliancy from
it's lofty position. It was the envy of
all the people in the neighborhood, and
visitors to the city were driven out to
see it's magnificent proportions.
This, as stated, was in the summer.
Late the following spring, the family
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-09-26

went to Hastings for short stay In
the country, the big house being left
in charge Of the servants.
Mr.. Eisenmenger left to join his
family one night, and having forgot
ten something, returned to the city
from Newport and found his beautiful
home in flames. The story Of the fire
is of too recent date to require repeti.
tion here. In addition to losing the big
home, Mr.. Eisenmenger has been oblig-
ed to dispose of some Of the rest OF
his property, and may be found at the
comfortable little butcher shop, which
he conducts on the corner of Rice
street and Sherburne avenue, assisted
by his sons, Fred and Edward. Mr.
Eisenmenger, it is understood, is now
willing to dispose of the property fol
park purposes.

and officers of the committee elected.
They will look after the health of the
teachers and scholars, and will make
an inspection of all the school build

sanitary condition to the executive
committee
The union will lay special stress on
the subject of School Libraries" F"
Every public school should have a cir
@culating library, most Of them have,
but it is the schools in the out
laying districts who have no libraries
that the union is aiming to assist.
There is an appropriation from the
state Of $40 per year for this purpose
and the city also gives something an
nually to each school towards this end.
With this appropriation and the CO.
operation of the local union the Cen
trail union hopes to accomplish the es-
tablishment of circulating libraries in
every school that has not such a Ii

he said the firm was ready to receive
them back If they would return tomor-
row morning unhampered by the in
f1uences of union labor. It was the
most peculiar strike he had ever heard
of, because the alleged grievances had
not been presented to the firm even in
an informal way. AS to the cause of
the strike the firm was just as much
in the dark last evening as it ever had
been, except for the light thrown on
the subject by newspaper accounts.
"I believe the strikers realize now
that they have made a mistake in treat
ing us in the manner that they are
added Mr.. Schulze. 1--WE have nothing
against the men and, If they come back
Monday in the right spirit, we will put
them to work-that is, with few ex-

Such Is the Concert Programme of
the Schubert Club.
A few years ago the coming Of a
good musical company to the city was
a great event and always filled the
house with fine audience. OF late
musical entertainments have not been
so freely patronized here. Why?
Simply because the usual programmes
were too CLASSICAL and cold for the aver
age auditor. In the programme to be
given by the Schubert club and Lady
quartette on the evening Of Oct. 4, at
the Peoples church, musical enter
tainment, will be provided that will be

contains, is spread before the ST. Paul
