story death Of the aged

story Of the death Of the aged Veter-
marian. The detectives expect to be
able soon to lay their hands on a man
suspected Of being connected with the
murder.
DR.. Ormond was in MINNEAPOLIS the
morning of Thursday, Sept. %. He had
a conference with some men, who the
police refuse to say He returned to
the Transit house, Midway, where he
was staying, and there ate dinner.
About 1 p m. he left and took a car
for this city. This was the last his
friends saw of him alive.
He met man In a coal yard in North
Minneapolis. He was there but a sho t
time, regarding a horse transaction. He
left there and it has been learned that
he had an appointment for 2:30 o'clock
with the two men who claimed to be
his friends. With them the police have
discovered he visited several saloons in
the central part of the city. It was un-
der the representation that they want
ed to make a horse trade that they per-
suaded the old man to meet them 1t
is stated that drinks were purchased in
all the grog shops visited. Following
this the so-calIed friends took DR.. Or
mond into a room. There they admin
istered to him a drink which had been
strongly "doped.''
1t was the supposition that after hav,
ing drugged the victim it would be an
easy matter to relieve him Of the large
sum Of money he was supposed to have
on his person. 1t was then the inten-
ton to leave him and in q few hours
he would awake from the effects of
the drug. But either the dope" was
too strong or the old mans constitu-
ton was not rugged enough to with
stand the effects. He died on their
hands.
This is really the story which the
detectives have discovered. They are
working hard under most difficult cir
cumstances. They have discovered
some important evidence, but they re-
fuse to give it out. The above is known
to be part of what they have learned.
ST. Paul is being searched for evidence
by Chief Schweitzer, assisted by De-
tectives Murnane and Daily. Inspector
Hoy is managing the Minneapolis end.
He has two assistants and together
some damaging evidence has been un-
earthed. However, he absolutely re-
fuses to give out any information,
fearing it might prejudice the case.

both legs severed"
Particulars as to the disaster are diff
ficult to obtain. 1t appears that when
the Mollegan struck a gale was blow
ing and the sea was running high. Ten
boats put off from the Lizard and from
Falmouth, one returning filled with
passengers Several were drowned,
however, it is reported, on the passa ge
Of the lifeboat to the shore. Another
life boat saved six persons.
The coast at that point is extremely
dangerous and has been the scene OF
numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was a movement set on foot to
get a lightship placed there but it fall
ed.
A dispatch from Falmouth says the
Mohegan foundered and was probably
blown ashore by the heavy east wind,
after her machinery was disabled. All
the Falmouth tugs were out, but none
were able to approach the vessel. A
life boat has landed thirty Of the Mo-
hegan's passengers and has returned
for more. One lady died after she was
set on shore.
It is reported that the condition Of
the Mohegan is serious and assistance
needed.
LONDON, Oct 15-Only thirty-one
have been saved. This intelligence
was forwarded from the coast guard
by telephone to Falmouth. The coast
guards are watching for bodies and
wreckage. The life boats have gone
into Port Houstock.

Rough Shedding for the Republican
Boss of the Keystone State.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 14-The
Republican party is split almost In two.
and there is no doubt that thousands
OF Republicans now intend to vote for
DR.. Silas c. Swallow, the Prohibition
candidate.
John Wanamaker, who wants to be
senator and who hates Quay, has been
regarded as the hacker Of the Swal-
low boom. Senator Penrose, in inter
views and speeches, has charged this
and recently has been attacking Wana-
maker in connection with the failure of
the keystone bank and the defalcation
Of John Bardsley, former city treasurer
Of Philadelphia. Mr.. Wanamaker made
this announcement:
Il have read the reported extracts
from Senator Penrose's speech alleged
to have been delivered at Reading. 1t
is difficult from these extracts to un-
derstand what accusations he intended
to make.

knowledge Of the fraudulent issue of
the stock Of the keystone bank at or
before the time Of It's Issue, or of any
criminal knowledge Of the deposit by
the treasurer Of the city Of public
money for the payment of anybodys
private debts or for any unlawful pur-
pose?
''If he does, I challenge him to say
so in writing, and I will arrest him for
libel as speedily as a warrant can be
obtained and served.

Death of the Rochester Man Murder,

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 14.-Dr. Will

neapolis on the afternoon of Sept 23.
He really was murdered, although it
was not the intention to cause the old
mans death. The dead body lay in a
room, where it Is impossible learn at
present. The next evening, after the
corpse had lain for twenty-four hours
in the city, the murderers, becoming
frightened, drove into the country and
concealed the remains In the straw

than two weeks after.

of semi-mutiny and threaten trouble
If they are not given better treatment.
They complain that they are not prop

nothing for dinner yesterday but meat

there is nobody in the regiment who

a Great Success.

Great Success.
MILACA, Mimi, Oct. 14-(Special }
The Republicans held a rally here for
Page Morris, who was represented by
J. Adam Bede and Col. A. A Harris,
of Duluth. Both met with a chilly re-
ceptiOn, the audiance numbering about
seVenty-five men, women and children,
mostly women and children. J. Adam
cracked his usual jokes and tried to
awaken enthusiasm, but without any
marked success. The most conspicuous
thing noted, and which attracted the
attention of both Committeeman Briggs
and Bebe, was the number of Lind and
Towne Autographs in sight With only
two exceptions, every business house
in town had them in the windows.
On the other hand, the reception ac-
corded P. W. Lonegren, of Duluth. who
spoke to the Scandinavians on the is
sues OF the day, was worthy Of more
than passing note, over seventy-flve
ScandinaVians already pledged to their
countryman, Hon. John Lind, turned
out to welcome Mr.. Lonegren, and by
cheer after cheer announced their ap-
proval Of the sentiments which he ut
tered from the rostrum.

in line ready to help pile up q hand

CHARLESTON, s. c., Oct. 1.-THE great
amount of sickness among the enlisted men
stationed at Sullivan's island Is causing the
commandant Col. Rawles, much concern.
During the summer many of the men were
i'll, and typhoid and malarial fever have al
most assumed proportions of an epidemic. At
present 400 men are confined to quarters.
There are number of very dangerous cases
being treated in the hospital, and the death
roll may be considerably swelled, until there
Is an improvement In the conditions, partic-
uarly a cessation Of hot weather.
At present three-fourths of the garrison are
confined to their quarters. Some are fever
patients and besides these there quite q
number with other ailments.

WILL MATAFA REIGN.
Chance fer SamOa's DepOsed King to
Resume the Throne.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-While the gov
ernment of the United States gave its sane
tion to return to Samoa of Matafa, the de-
posed king of the islands, this was accorded
before the death of Malietoa, the reignng
king The action of the United States was
rather in the nature Of clemency, and there
was no intention at the time to assist in any
way In the restoration of Matafa to the throne.
Now however, as the chief Is on the
scene and ready to profit by the existing
hiatus IN the Samoan government, 1t is very
probable that he will become the lawful sue
cessor to Maletoa. He must, however, ac-
complish his ends strictly within the terms of
the tripartite treaty, which provides that the
Samoans shall choose their own ruler accord
ing to their own laws and customs.

There has been a great deal Of dis
satisfaction in the numbering districts
of this state with the candidacy for
governor of William Henry Eustis.
The men who work in the woods and
the men who work on the drives form
In themselves a band of men, plain
men, but men who are accustomed to
rely on themselves and on their fellow
men as they do on themselves.
They are honest with their fellows
and they expect other men to be honest
with them.
The reason that the lumbermen Of the
northern part of the state-and by the
term Iumbermen, in this connection, is
meant more particularly the men
who do the work, rather than the men
who own the logs and the mills-the
reason that these men are not favoring
the election Of William Henry Eustis
is because they have weighed him and
have found him wanting.
Whether or not the people Of the
state Of Minnesota want their affairs
administered upon the lines which Mr..
Eustis applied to the conduct of his
personal business in the lumber woods,
as shown by the records Of the courts
and by the testimony Of living men,
the men who live and are respected
by their neighbors in hamlets where
the atmosphere is the only newspaper,
and the truth and the libel are differ
entiated at once by the men who know
facts as they meet them, is the ques-
ton before the public. 1t Is this
arraignment which William Henry
Eustis has to meet, FROM the mouth
Of the Rum river, yes, even the mouth
Of the st. CrOix to the branching trib-
utaries of the Red River of the North,
& region in which are some Of the rich
est pine regions now standing in the
confines of Minnesota.
c. c. Sutton is a Northern Minnesota
lumberm2n who, perhaps, is as inti-
mate with Mr.. Eustis' management of
his numbering affairs as any man in
the state except William Henry him
self. 1t IS doubtful if Mr.. Eustis' nomi-
nal partners ever knew everything that
was going on. One of them testified in
court to that effect
Mr.. Sutton is Republican-or rather
was, for he declares that a party that
Will nominate for the highest office
within the gift Of the people of the
state a man who goes into the courts
to avoid payment Of a just claim is
unworthy Of the support of good citi-
zens everywhere. Mr.. Sutton's story in
brief is as follows:
III.
During the winter Of 1887-S8 Mr..
Sutton was keeping a RANCH" or
stopping place, on the state road
between Aitkin and Grand Rap
ids. This was before the build
ing Of the Duluth & Winnipeg
railroad (now the Eastern Minnesota)
and all freight for up-river points was
carried from Aitkin by boat during
the summer months and by tote
teams in the winter, Aitkin at that
time being the most northern point
on the Mississippi touched by the rail-
road. 1t was, therefore, the distrib-
uting point for the whole upper Mis-
sissippi country. Eustis, Neal & Co.,
the firm consisting of William H. Eus-
tbs, William E. Neal and John G. Fra
Ser, had been engaged in extensive log
ging operations, with headquarters at
La Prairie, a boom town which had
