New York, Sept. 14.-Cornelius Van
derbilt, who had been under the shadow
of death for several years, and who was
one of the most methodical of men, left
a carefully drawn will, but its terms are
not known. His friends think II will
make provision for the charity in which
he was Interested. No estimate of the
estates value is less than s1O00O0,OO0
There had been a reconciliation be-
tween Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., and
his parents, who opposed his marriage
with Miss Grace Wilson, and ii is
doubtful if discrimination will be made
against him. On the death of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, his brother. William K, be-
comes the head of the family, and he
has made arrangements for the funeral
and will see to the probating of the
will.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's death will force the
retirement of the large Vanderbilt fam
lily from any participation in the social

Des Moines, Sept. 14.-Joseph Ham
mer, living on East First street, shot
his wife, Mary Hammer, at midnight
last night, and then it is supposed he
committed suicide, although this is not
yet ascertained positively. Hammer
was laboring man and was insanely
jealous of his wife. They had sepa-
rated short time ago, but he hung
around her and she became fearful
that he would do her violence She
finally appealed to the police for pro-
lection, and last evening an officer was
sent to her humble home to see that no
harm came. After searching the
premises and watching for while the
patrolman left and about 1880 Ham
mer came to the house. His wife and
daughter Jessie, aged 16, had retired,
and Mrs. Hammer, thinking 1t was her
son come home. rose and let her hus-
band into the house. He at once as
saulted her, beating her over the head
with slung shot and finally drawing
revolver and shooting her twice in
the head. He then turned on the
daughter and threatened to do the
same to her, but before he could do so
he heard footsteps outside and fled
through the back door toward the river.
n few moments later one or two shots
were heard from that direction and it
was believed Hammer shot himself and
threw himself into the river. No trace
of his body was to be found, however.
Mrs. Hammer when found was still liv-
ing and was sent to Mercy hospital,
where it was stated her death was a
matter of only few hours. She leaves
four children. two sons, Warner and
Willis, and two daughters, Mrs. Ed
ward Ash, of 1916 Walker street, and
Jessie, who was with her when she was
shot.
Later-The body of Joseph Hammer,
with bullet hole in the temple, was
found on the river bank today.

THE LEGISLATURE


fered as a substitute motion that the
bill be printed and placed on general
orders
In support of his metionssM Mr. Stivers
quoted figures to- show that the binding
Irvine plant had made net profit dur
J ing the past two years of S132 1899, while
there was deficiency in the other de-
paftments of the prison of -7SSa 0Ni-.On
this showing he contended that If was
not Just to the farmers to have them pay
a price. for Irvine, which would make up
the deficiency caused by the opera ton of
other departments. The bill which the
conlmltfees had recommended fors in
definite postponement would make the
price of binding Irvine at such a figure
that the farmers would not have to pay
the entire revenue of the~ prison.
Mr. Staples favored the killing of the
Dill, saying it was simply question of
the ACCESSIBILITY of passing a law which
would fix the price of Irvine at the cost
OF manufacture. There had. been no com
paint from farmers as to the cost of the
twine the only fault found had been that
the Irvine went to the dealers instead of
the farmers.
Mr. Plowman favored the bill for the
reason that the cost to the farmers of
Irvine should be as low as possible and
1t was not to be expected that the farm
ers should pay all the expenses of the
prison.
Mr.. Jacobson saw In the bill an at
tempt to cripple the plant at the prison
for which 100000 had been paid by the
state If the plant made $132, 900 in the
last two years all right 1t was possible
that it might go the other way In the

istence as Is either the First, Second or
Third, and was the only regiment In Min
nesota until the adjutant general recently
ordered the Second and Third reorgan-
lied, and which are now In process of
reorganizing. The laws, as they stand,
provide for the support Of three regi-
ments. At meeting of the national
guard committee a bill was formulated
providing for four regiments, and increas-
ing the general appropriation. This bill
was not favored by the house appropria-
ton committee, which offered a substt-
tute providing for the consolidation Of the
four regiments into three, the weakest
regiment to be used to fill the others.
This Is the bill which has provoked the
criticism of the Minneapolis morning pa
per, although it would strike the average
reader as a business-like solution of the
problem, especially as the Fourth has as
much experienced material as either the
Second or Third win have after reorgani-
zation.
Gov. Lind some time ago expressed him
self as favorable to a plan to substitute
the Fourth for the First until the latter
wanted its place in the guard and this
was acceptable to the Fourth, but there
was no law permitting this action, and all
suggestions Of this nature were met with
objections. The introduction, of the sub
-stitute bill by the house appropriation
committee led to prompt proposal to the
ioff1cers of the Fourth that an agreement
iof this kind would be acceptable. 1t was
accepted, with the idea that thereby the
companies would secure the inspection
money necessary to meet their notes.
Four of the companies of the Fourth regi-
ment are in Minneapolis. The Second
and Third regiments have no companies
or officers in Minneapolis. The staff off,
GERS of the Fourth have had one purpose,
and that Is to protect the company off,
GERS from loss, and no one knows that
better than the Minneapolis battalion.
This is the whole matter briefly stated.

st. Cloud Normal School Will Ask
for an Appropriation.
w. b. Mitchell, of the normal school
board, was in the city yesterday and will
appear before the subcommittee on ap-

Of a large appropriation. Among other
things the St. Cloud institution will ask
for money for q library.
1.-THE st. Cloud normal Is the only nor
nal school in the state that has no
library" said Mr.. Mitchell last evening.
"a library is a necessity as a matter OF
fact, and we need text books and refer
.ence books All the other schools have
them and we do not feel that we are i'm
posing when we ask for $1,000 for books
and $500 fer shelves. and a place to keep
our books.
I'VE also want $4,000 for an enlarge
nient of our assembly hall. The institu<
ton LIS at present go over-crowded that
few of the pupils can be accommodated
without doubling up in the seats. We
want to put on a good sized addition and
& new roof to the central part of the
building. which needs it anyway. Our
necessities are so apparent that there Is
no doubt that our requests will be grant
