Gold Democrats Say They Will Supper
the Nominee

the Nominee,
Richmond, April If. "A distinguished
Nirginian has just received IL letter from
Gen. Fitz. Lee, in which the latter refers
to the question of his remaining in Cuba
us consul general. In the letter to the
gentleman referred to General Lee, it is
understood, intimates that he did not ask
for the appointment he now holds and
does not consider it incumbent upon him
to refuse to continue to remain where he
is. This seems to mean that if the Pres
idept names Lees successor the latter
probably does not. expect to be consulted
about the matter.
The contest for the Democratic Eomi.
nation for governor is being conducted
with considerable activity, though very
quietly. During the past few weeks,
probably several thousand letters has been
received by the two leading candidates for
governor from all sections of 1.-The State
These show that the Democrats in the
rural if not in nearly all sections favor the
conventions following the custom of in
dorsing the action of the national body
which preceded it. Republican leaders
are anxious for some popular gold Demo-
GRAFT to run en- an independent ticket.
Thus far they have received no sort of en-
enlargement favoring such scheme.
Indeed some of the most conspicuous gold
Democrats in the State have recently eX-
pressed Il determination to support the
nominations made by the convention of
their party.

Coroner Nelson explained that he had
been called out Of the city uneXpect-

The verdict returned is in the nature
Of an implied censure Of the city eie-
vator inspector, a phase Of the case
which the jury discussed nearly two
hours, as upon the statements Of In
spector Silk, the construction of the
elevator shaft was dangerous, and, in
the event Of the automatic brake re-
fusing to work. might have caused an

to the jury why the city elevator in

in this manner.

Move to Secure the City Printing
for Another Year.


All the business before the assembly

disposed of in half an hour, and the
eight members then adjourned to the

the members, with the exception Of
President Arosip, answered to the roll

A communication was received from
T. F. Thomas, secretary of the ST.
Paul Trades and Labor assembly, I'M
der date of Dec. IL, reciting resolutions
passed by that body Dec. 10, in which
it is stated that the union has griev-
ance against the st. Paul Dispatch,
and asking the assembly to appoint
a committee to hear this grievance be-
fore electing a city printer this year.
The communication was received and
filed without being read.
It was stated by one of the city Of
ficials that the communication from
the Trades and Labor assembly was
the first step in an attempt to secure
the city printing for the Pioneer Press
for the year 1898. About year ago.
when the question of selecting a city
printer came before the members Of
the council, a caucus,swas held and it
was agreed between the proprietors Of
the morning and evening newspaper
organs of the administration that one
of the papers should have the printing
plum for one year and the other the
next With what was then said to be
forethought on the part of the manag-
erS Of the morning organ, that paper
secured the first chance, being duly
elected city printer for 1897. The agree
ment between the managers of the re-
Spective organs, the official stated last
evening was only a verbal one, and
he had been informed within the past
few days that an effort would be made
to forget the terms of the agreement
and allow the morning paper another
year as the official publication. The
communication sent to the assembly
was, according to the statement of the
official, a part of carefully laid plan
He further volunteered the informa-
ton that the scheme would not work,
as the members of the council would
hold to the understanding made at the
caucus year ago about the distribu-
ton of the printing patronage.
The assembly approved the contracts
with the garbage contractors for the
coming year, and also approved the
Gas company and the American De-
city with gas, electric lights and gaso-
line for next year.
A resolution offered by Assemblyman
both bodies, acting as committee ofthe
was adopted.

j. Nj. SCHNEIDER, OF SOUTH PARK,
LOSES HIS LIFE WHILE
INSANE.
WANDERED FROM HIS HOME,
AFTER DIVESTING HIMSELF OF
EVERY STITCH OF HIS
CLOTHING.
WANDERED A MILE IN THE COLD.
Was Tracked by the Footprints In
the SnOw-A Terrible Ex-
perience.

J. NJ. Schneider, of South Park, came
to his death in frightful manner dur
ing the hours between midnight and
dawn yesterday. While temporarily in
sane he got out of bed, took off every
vestige Of clothing, and wandered OH
half a mile, where he was found at
1880 in the morning frozen to death.
Schneider was Of the firm Of ]. M.
Schneider & Co., saloonkeepers at
South Park, and was subject to fits.
year ago, in November, while suffer-
ing from one of these attacks and also
typhoid fever, he got out Of bed in the
night, dressed in his underclothes and
ran to the stock yards, but was fol-
lowed and taken care Of. The exposure,
however nearly cost him his life.
Saturday night he awakened the In
mates of the house of ]. J. Grisim, his
partner, over the saloon, where he
slept, by loud moaning and hollering.
He was discovered lying on his back
with his feet in the air and frothing
at the mouth. Mr.. Grisim shook him,
and finally brought him to his senses,
when he asked to be let alone, as he
"Wished to supper alone" and asked
for a clergyman. He was induced to
go to Sleep however. Wednesday night
he slept with Fred Grisim, who missed
him at $50 in the morning, when he
awoke. and, on seeing his clothes in
the room, the truth was surmised, and
search made Immediately. The
freshly-fallen snow showed his tracks
plainly, and ne was tracked half a
mile south to "Swede Hollow" where
the tracks passed twice through
large culvert under the road, and finger
marks could be seen on the walls.
At one end he had lain or fallen down
in the snow, then got up and walked
around in a circle close to house, but
he was not heard by the inmates. From
there he could be plainly tracked up
the side of the bluff through the scant
brush, and where he fallen the last
last time he had evidently staggered
and fell through some brush, tearing
the flesh. Blood can be seen on the
tWigs. The snow and dirt showed evil
dences of a final struggle, and then
he stretched himself on his back, turn
ed his face to one side, Strengthened
out, and drew his arms upon his
breast. A large initial ring was a con-
spicuous object on the third finger Of
the right hand.
The feet look as if they had been
frozen stiff, while he yet walked around,
and hands. ears and eXtremities suf-
fered in the same manner. His head,
arms and lower limbs were bruized and
bleeding, and his experience must have
been a terrible one.
He was thirty-five or forty years Of
age. unmarried, and his parents live at
Hastings. He has been in business
at South Park for three or four years.
His father accompanied the coroner
up from Hastings yesterday afternoon,
and was overcome by the sad erdno
Of his son. The body was removed to
an undertaking establishment at ST.
Paul . ..-
