ing offered by the defense, the court took

edness to the Trust company. The bonds

deed, conveying to the trustees of the
Dutch bondholders the Guaranty Loan

interest thereon is also due, the total,
exclusive of the court costs, amounting,

James F. Blaine, Of MINNEAPOLIS, march
ed a man out of his office yesterday noon
at the business end of revolver.
Mr.. Blaine is a small man, but lacks
nothing In physical and moral courage.
When his visitor turned upon him and
slapped his face, he reached for drawer
of his desk, pulled it open, and in an
instant had a very dangerous looking
weapon pointed directly at his assailant.
The latter ducked at once behind some
chairs, but found that Mr.. Blaine was not
yet through with him. The groceryman
was aroused 1t took him but a moment
to convince the individual behind the
chairs that the outside air was much
healthier than that of the office, and then
the procession began, With Mr.. Blaine and
the gun in the rear, and the MONDAY Wis
itor marching at the head of the column.
Mr.. Blaine had thoroughly cowed the
man who had dared to slap his face, and
he left him after he had reached the cor
ridor There were several Commercial
club members and occupants of the build
ing standing about the elevator entrance
at the time Of the highly dramatic exit
from Mr.. Blaines office
Mr.. Blaine's visitor was no less a per-
sonage than Count Meyerdorf, Of Prus-
STA. James F. Blaine himself is a nephew
of the late James G. Blaine When the
latter was secretary of state he b2fIiend-
ed Count Meyerdorf, who had been door,
ed to exile in Siberia, securing his re-
lease, and permission o come to the Unit
States Gti
his own country. After his arrival here
Meyerdorf was given a clerlship under
John Ewing Blaine, paymaster in the
United states army, a brother of James
q. Blaine, and father of James F. Blaine
In this manner the count became ac-
Quainted with James F. Blaine, of Min
neapolts. short time ago he arrived
in Minneapolis He called on James F.
Blaine shortly after his arrival, and con-
tirued to call at intervals until yesterday
noon.
He made two calls yesterday The first
was made some time before noon Mr.
Blaine was talking with a gentleman at
the time He asked the count what he
could do for him, and the count replied,
in most emphatic manner, that he could
90 nothing. 1t IS said the count also
used some very profane language Mr.
Blaine attempted TO pacify him, but to
no avail and after fully expressing him
self the count withdrew to a saloon not
far away. There he secured sheet of
paper, upon which he wrote brief mes
sage handed it to the bartender, and
asked him to deliver it to Mr. Blaine.
The paper was not folded and the bar
tender read the message. 1t was chal-
lenge to Mr.. Blaine to mortal combat, the
affair to take place at Minnehaha shortly
after sunrise this morning The bar
tender tore the paper into scraps, and
threw it into the waste basket, and the
count was Informed that messages OF
that character he must deliver himself.
Finding no sympathy in the saloon the
Prussian nobleman again assembled to the
fourth floor and once more entered the
office of Mr.. Blaine. This time Mr.
Braine was alone What happened IN the
Office prior to the slapping Of Mr.. Blaine's
face is not known.
Tie count could not be found last night
Mr. Blaine was reticent.

The total destruction by fire of the large

broke out in the engine room in the base

by the department. The entire length Of
the basement was scorched and the
smoke rendered it almost impossible to
combat the flames. Had the building been
DESTROYED 1t would have meant the loss
of about $4,000. In the building is To-
Gated the central telephone office and a
number Of lawyers offices. A fraternal
lodge hall makes up the third story, and
the lodge Of Elks was in session when the
fire started. The alarm created great
confusion. 1t was necessary for every

CLEVER CONFIDENCE WOMAN.
Jennie Howard, Alias Purcell, Ar
rested on Charge of Petty
Larceny

Mrs. Jennie Howard, alias Purcell, has
been sought after by the police for the
past three months, as she was wanted for
swindling women out of small sums of
money by means of bogus money orders.
She was seen on Devisadero street yester-
day afternoon by Mrs. Katie Buick, one
of her victims, and was handed over to
the custody of a policeman, who took her
to the City Prison. where a charge of
petty larceny was booked against her.
Jennie came from Australia some
months ago with her husband and he went
to Alaska, leaving her to make living
the best way she could. She had little
dog named ''Patsey,' and together they
wandered around to different rooming
houses seeking to engage room,
and getting loan of a small sum of
money upon an application for money
order, which she said had been sent her
from Alaska by her husband. Among her
victims was Mrs. Annie Leroy. 501 Yer
mont street; Mrs. Matilda Moffatt, 1872
York street. and Mrs. John Mocker 1130
Church street. besides a number of others.
Jennie's plea was that she was a stew
ardess on one of the Australian steamers
and was willing to pay literally for a
room for month or two as she intended
taking a rest.
