Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 19.-No can
didate has yet withdrawn, though
some are considering such a move,
and only waiting for the moment

that the victorious tide is flowing
toward Congressman Hits camp.
Managers Of several less portentous
candidates admit that they have
been discussing the advisability of
going over with their forces to Hit.
Lorimer's friends say his chances are
brilliant, but it was admitted in the
Cook county caucus last night that
1t was decided if Lorimer failed to
show greater strength than On the
second ballot he was to retire. Col.
Carr still hopes some new COM
piication will land him in the COW
eted place. There is some talk that
the Cook county vote may go to
Congressman Cannon, but the tend
ency is really rather in the direction
of Hit.

CAHAeA BRIDGE F!END CAPTURED.
Confesses His Damnable Crime without o
Sign of Emotion.

COnfesses His Damnable Crime Without o
Sign of Emotion.
Atlanta, JAN 19-Sam Palatka, cross
eyed, fiend in expression, revolving in
countenance, has confessed to having
perpetrated the great Cahaba bridge
disaster, which occurred three weeks
ago in Alabama. Stolidly, and with i'm
movable lines of criminal harshness on
his face, he admits that single-handed
he sent thirty-five persons to a horrible
death and wounded and manned score
more. There was no romantic reason
back of the work of this miscreant.
Palatka was arrested in Eatonton, Put
nam county, in middle Georgia. His
first captors believed him half-witted,
as he gave himself away. Those in
charge of him in Atlanta as he was
on his way to Alabama say he was ab-
>solutely reckless and entirely without
human feelings.
Yesterday he spoke Of the fearful
wreck without emotion. "I did it,"
said Palatka. Il wanted money. It's
nobody's business what I wanted it
for. l did it. 1 found it was very easy.
1 say this for the benefit of those who
want to wreck trains. It is just as easy
to wreck passenger train as il y to
wreck a freight train. There = no
money in a freight. l did not get any
out of the wreck. 1 moved a rail. put
1t across the track and the whole busi-
ness seemed to fall. There were plenty
of dead folks with money-one man
had S5O0-but before / could get at it
the live ones got up and the crowd
came. I skipped out then"

POINT IN BANK Law
JUDGE OTIS ASKED TO ALLOW GER

NOTES.
TWO CASES OF A LIKE KIND.
ARGUMENTS PARTLY HEARD IN
THE APPLICATION FOR THE
REMOVAL
OF MINNESOTA SAVINGS TRUSTEES.
Luc;en Warner begins an Action for
DivOrce-Their Second APPEAR
ance in Court.

A new and important question was
submitted to Judge Otis yesterday IN
the matter of the receivershlp OF the
Bank of Minnesota. The Plymouth
Clothing company and William X.
Merriam, as receiver of the Minnesota
Packing & Provision company, each
applied to the court for leave to offset
their respective deposit accounts
against promissory notes made by the
respective companies to the Bank CT
Minnesota 1t appears that these two
notes at the time the receivers OF the
Bank of Minnesota We're appointed.
had been pledged by the bank to Mr..
Bailey, Of the, First National Bank,
who was acting as trustee of the
banks which advanced large
amount of money to the Bank Of Min
nesota and received the notes in re-
turn as collateral for the loan SUD
sequently this indebtedness OF the
Bank of Minnesota was fully paid out
of other pledged property, and these
two particular notes were returned to
the receivers of the bank. The Ply
mouth company and the receiver OF
the packing and provision company
ask to have their deposit accounts set
off against their notes. Each COM
pany alleges that it has deposit in
the bank in excess of the amount OF its
respective notes, the note OF the Ply
mouth being for $4,000 and that of the
provision company $3.50.
Judge Otis continued the matter for
one week and asked counsel to submit
further authorities in the meantime, ii
possible, as there are some $4O,OoO
worth of similar claims against the
Bank of Minnesota, and the question
whether a set off should be allowed
is consequently vital one.
The application of St. Thomas col
lege that it's deposit account be set
off against it's note to the bank for
$500 was granted, as in this case, the
note had never been pledged by the
bank and was in it's possession when
the receivers were appointed.

In Response to- the Milwaui1ee's
Second Proposition.

The members of the common council
arpointed as a conference committee
to consider the latest proposition OF the
Milwaukee Railroad company respect
ing tbs levee property have formul ated
a counter-proposition on the c1ty's De-
half as follows:
Your committee on streets, to whom was
referred the proposition Of the Chicago Mil
waukee & ST. Paul Railway company, asking
for the compromise and settlement OF the con-
troversies between said company ana the Guy,
have had the same under consideration, and
have thought it wise that the controversy re-
lating to the Summit avenue bridge be en-
tirely eliminated from the sentiment OF the
matters relating to the PUBIC ieVee anu
that the company should consent II the entry
of judgments in the suits now pei ing relat-
ing thereto declaring the title OF the city In
determined to exist by, the corporation at
torney. When that is done. your committee
is of the opinion that the city should adopt
an ordinance granting the company the right
exist on the leyee and Broadway under either
one of the foil 'wins propositions:
First-To grant to said company the right
to maintain SAID warehouses indefinitely at a
rental of s., 900 per year, the common council
reserving the right to revoke such permission
at any time upon two-thirds vote
Second-To grant to- said company the right
to maintin such buildings for period of if
teen years at a rental of 81 SEQ per annum.
Third-To grant to said company the right
to maintain such buildings fdr.,the period of
twenty years at an annual rental of $500 per
annum. 9.-e-
Fourth-To grant to said company the right
to maintain such buildings for a period of
twenty years at an annual rental of $4,000
per annum.
Your committee further recommends that
the proposition be submitted to the company
as recommended with the request that the
company indicate which of the propositions it
would prefer to accept.
Aid. Kenny, chairman of the com
mittee submitting the report, said yes
terday that the city would not con-
slider any proposition which does not
concede the acknowledgment of the alb
solute ownership by the city Of that
portion Of the 1evee between Sibley
and Wacouta streets.

"THEL MA" IS ADMIRED.
Ashley COoper's Picture Makes n
True Hit LOCALLY

''Thelma," the beautiful painting by
Ashley d. NJ. Cooper, which is being
shown on Wabasha street by G. w.
Shuman, has been recognized by those
OF the st. Paul art lovers who have
seen it as the best of the canvases
finished by this celebrated American
painter. The figure, which is an ideal
ization of Marie Corelli's heroine of the
same name,is the fifth painted by Coop
er, and is the first not drawn from
models. 1t shows the subject descend
ing the empyrean heights to beauti-
ful sunset, the radiant glow of which
is shown upon the gracefully nodded
body with rare effect. The figure, which
is nude but for bit of diaphanous
lace drapery, shows the rudy glow
upon the left and the delicate blue
green Of the rising moon on the other
side. Mr.. Shuman, who, by the way,
is an old Minnesota man, and former
captain of Company D in the gallant
Second Minnesota regiment says that it
was with great difficulty Mr.. Cooper
was persuaded to allow his picture of
''Thelma'' to be taken away from his
studio.

later, while the plaintiff was confined to her
bed, in consequence of the injuries inflicted
upon her during her involuntary descent Of
the two flights of stairs, the defendant broke
in the door of her room, and behaved in such
violent and threatening manner that she
was constrained to call in the police for pro-
lection.
For third cause of action the plaintiff al
leges' that the plaintiff caused her. while ill,
to be elected from her residence, and her
personal effects to be least upon the public

Doran signed it yesterday. The mayor also
signed the Broadway loop ordinance, which

its interurban and Como avenue cars down
Fifth street to Broadway. up Broadway to
Seventh street, and returning on Seventh
street.
The mayor took no action on the resolution
requiring the street railway company to
boulevard University avenue, from Victoria
avenue to the west city limits, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the resolution will receive
his honor's approval. Referring to the mat
ter yesterday, the mayor said that he did
not believe in the policy OF enforcing condi-

there was no pressing need foH their perform

The resolution requiring thaa street railway
