ESTATE OF JAMES INQUIRE.
Police Captain Lowell to Show
Cause why He Should BE Re-
tained as Administrators.

Police Captain Lowell Of the Rondo
district, will be required on Saturday
morning to show cause to Judge Will
rich, of the probate court, why he
should be retained as administrator Of
the estate of the late James Mcclure.
The captain was granted special let
tiers of administration on the estate,
but, it is alleged, he has failed to COM
ply with the legal requirements, in that
he has filed no bond nor given any Sc
curty for the performance of his duties
as administrator There are two
claimants for the estate.
One of the persons who alleges a
right TO administer McGuire's estate is
former Police Detective Gruber. The
he was the most intimate friend Nc
CURE had, and that he died without
leaving any relatives. Diffiey claims to
be, a nephew of the deceased, but adj
mits that he never met him during his
lifetime, though they both lived near
each other in this city.
A preliminary hearing in the case
was had yesterday Mr. Gruber was
present, but was not put on the stand.
Mr.. Diffiey, however, went on the stand
and said he believed himself to be the
next of kin to MCGUIRE. He was I'M
able to prove it and was allowed time
to send to Ireland for necessary evil
dence.
Mcclure carried an insurance for
$4,000 with the A. o. U. W., but as no
direct relative has appeared the order
has refused to pay it.
Capt. Lowell and Mr.. Gruber have
claimed it, but the order has not rec
ognized the claim of either.
Capt Lowell" said Judge Wilrich,
represented himself as McGuire's su-
perior officer, and 1 granted him pa
pers But he should have qualified. He
has given no bond, and I shall issue a
citation for him to appear. No one is
entitled to represent MCGUIRE except
the British consul at this place."
Mcclure said Mr.. Gruber, left
two gold watches worth $50 and some
notes. He was supposed to have a
bank book representing deposits
amounting to $4,000, and some real
estate in Rice street. Capt. Lowell
tried to make him make over his life
insurance policy to him, but MCGUIRE
refused to do so. Capt. Lowell owes
the estate $3.50 in notes, which repre-
sents money borrowed from MCGUIRE
II will send for Capt. Lowell" said
Judge Wilrich, land we will have a
hearing on the estate of the deceased
The matter should not be delayed. If
am satisfied a third person should be
appointed administrator. I will appoint
one who is not interested in the estate"

robust physically at the outset, and if he
would live long life, always keep watch
full eye upon his health. He should re-
member that it is the apparently trif1ine
disorders that eventually make the big dis
eases. 1t does not do for a hard working
man to neglect bilious attacks or spells of
indigestion. If he does he will soon frd
crippled with rheumatism. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all
medicines for hard working men and wo-
men. 1t makes the appetite keen and
hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver ac-
tive, the blood pure and rich with the life
giving elements of the food, and the nerves
strong and steady. 1t builds firm muscles
and solid flesh. 1t is the greatest of all
blood-makers and purifiers. 1t cures mala-
rial troubles and rheumatism. It Is an un-
failing cure for biliousness and indigestion.
An honest dealer will not try to substitute
some inferior preparation for the sake of
little additional profit.

HEROES THEY WOULD BE
ST. PAUL BOYS WOULD LIKE TO
ENLIST
Federal Building Overrun Yesterday
With Those Who Desired an Ex-
animation by the Naval Recruit
ing BOard-FOur of Them Ac-
cepted and Many Others Disap-
pOinted--List of the Men.

Every boy In ST. Paul Of a romantic
turn of mind who has read Of the dar-
ing deeds Of naval heroes and has be-
come inspired with an ambition to
emulate them, went to the federal
building yesterday and tried to enlist
as apprentices in the navy. They were
all burning with desire to fight the
Spaniards.
They ranged from ten to twenty
years and most of them were school
boys. A large number were high school
pupils They were eager to be taken
and when Capt Cook told them they
were either too young or too old they
We're keenly disappointed.
The corridors of the federal building
were blocked with the boys during the
morning and they made SO much noise
in their efforts to get to the head of
the line that the janitor was obliged to
call in policeman to preserve order.
Even that precaution failed and all the
morning the balls echoed to the buzz Of
their conversation.
When Capt Cook arrived upon the
scene he warned the boys that he could
not accept more than six or seven and
advised all under fourteen and over
seventeen to go to their homes or
schools He managed to clear the cor
ridor OF the greater portion Of the
crowd, but many remained to try their
luck with him.
Four boys had their ambitions graft
fed before the day was over. They
were:
Thomas Spencer Morgan, 1s5 East Delos
street.
Clyde Lorenzo Mayo, SIG Nicollet avenue,
Minneapolis.
David Francis Archambeault 1855 Rondo

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-07

The teachers of ST. Paul, through the
ST. Paul Teachers association will
commence suit next Monday against
the city of st. Paul to recover back
salary due them for the month of June,
1895.
The action has been necessarily de-
layed from the fact that the teachers
association has no legal standing, and
considerable difficulty has been eX-
perienced by the committee to induce
anyone to take the responsibility of
the suit.
Mr.. FarnSWorth stated yesterday that
several teachers had volunteered to al
low the use of their names in bringing
a test case against the city of st. Paul,
and a case would be brought next week
without fail.
There was no signs of failing on the
part of the teachers, as they were just
as Jealous as at the start and wanted
10 see the matter decided before the
summer vacation.
Mr.. Farnsworth stated that they had
secured the services of Stiles w. Burr,
and a complaint was now being drawn.
The suit, however, would only be as
a last resort, as negotiations were now
pending between Mr.. Burr and City At
torney Markham with a view to set
ting the matter without resort to the
courts.
IN speaking OF the matter yesterday
to G. | o b reporter, Mr.. Farnsworth
acknowledged that he had very little
hopes of settling the matter outside of
the courts.
There was no change Of feeling, he
said, since the original meeting, at
which it was decided to institute the
suit. The teachers felt that they were
justly entitled to the salary due them
for that month.
They would have been perfectly con-
tent to take the cut of 80 per cent in
the June pay rolls, but several other
cuts had followed.
In round numbers the amount due the
teachers would be about $4,000. The
cut was made to meet a deficiency in
the appropriation.
1t has been the impression for sever
al days that the suit would be brought
in the name of some teacher who had
left the employ of the city, but who
held position in 1895. When asked If
II was true, Mr.. Farnsworth refused
to say anything further relative to the
matter.
The city will fight the case on the
grounds that the teachers contract of
that year were invalid from the fact
that Comptroller McCardys name was
not attached.
Should the court hold that the con-
tracts We're good, the city will then en-
deavor to establish the power of the
school board to annul such contracts
Funds are now being raised by the
committee to defray the expense of the
action.

FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
Body OF Mrs. E. C. Churchill Found
Yesterday.

The body of Mrs E. C. Churchill, who
disappeared from her home at SCI Broadway,
On Jan. Fl last, was found in the river two
miles below the fish hatchery yesterday morn
Ing, by Ole Peterson, fisherman living in
the vicinity.
The body was taken to the morgue. where
1t was identified last evening by the husband
of the dead woman. Mr.. Churchill was COM
pletely broken up by the sad blow, and very
little could be learned from him regarding the
departure of his wife from their home ex-
cepting that when he returned home from
work On the evening of Jan. q he found her
missing, and was unable to discover any traces
of her until today, when he recognized the
remains by the clothes worn and by two gold
rings the woman had on her fingers
Mr.. Churchill says his wife had shown
signs of insanity before her flight, and he
has no doubt that in a temporary fit she
leeped into the river.
The body was not badly decomposed, al
though its condition indicated that it could
have been in the water since the day of the
unfortunate woman's disappearance. She
was about thirty-fve years old and was,
rather an misunderstanding woman. She
wore wrapper and jacket and hat and
was rather short and f1eshy.
The funeral will probably take place from
the undertaking establishment of G. Bantz e.
Co., 5S3 ST. Peter street, where the BODY was
removed after its Identification

BALLOTED BETWEEN MAPS
JURY IN THE CLEWETT CASE
FAILS TO AGREE
Until Yesterday Afternoon at $50
O'CIOck-StOod From the First,
Seven for the Plaintiff and Five
for Defendant-Finally Decided
1t Could Not Agree.

The jury in the case Of Selma Clewett
against the House of the Good Shep-
herd filed into Judge Brill's court after
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon and told
the court that it was impossible for
them to agree upon a verdict.
Judge Brill asked If they were salts
fled that they could not agree and the
foreman, Col. E. T. Gadd, replied that
there was no possibility of such thing
and the judge formally discharged the
jury.
The jury stood seven to five In favor
of Miss Clewett from the time they re-
tired at noon Tuesday until they were
discharged. 1t was a most stubborn
contest in the jury room. Both sides
stood firm and no one yielded point.
The jury spent all Tuesday afternoon
arguing the case and when they were
locked up for the night they continued
their arguments The men who fav-
ored Miss Clewett wanted to give her
the full amount of damages she de-
manded, $4,000, and the others did not
think she was entitled to cent. So
they kept up the fight all night.
When they became tired Of talking
they stretched themselves out upon the
hard floor of the jury room and tried to
sleep Whenever they woke up they
would take a ballot. Then they would
lie down again and take another nap.
So the time passed until morning. Then
they breakfasted and renewed the sub
ject until court was opened.
The jury was called before Judge
Brill early and asked what they had
done. They said they wanted to hear
some testimony that was brought out
in the cross examination. but when the
court stenographer tried to find it for
them he found it would take so much
time to locate it that the questions Were
waived. The jurymen promised to do
the best they could without it. They
went back to the room and continued
their arguments. But they were unable
to arrive at a decision that would de-
eide the case. The only decision that
they could agree upon was that they
could not agree.
So at $50 they went back into court
and told Judge Brill that it was no
use for them to waste more time over
the case as they could not convince one
another.
