South, intending to visit his old home in
Virginia and spend the winter in a warm

home. Though constant care and the at
tendance of the most skilled physicians
was afforded, no considerable change
was manifest. Death came quietly while
he rested early yesterday, and Col.
FlouTnoy passed from life with hardly a
sign to indicate the transition.

and removed to st. Paul. He served in
that capacity with the Omaha until Sept

For several years he fulfilled the duties
of this position, and on the merging of
the Kansas City into the Great Western

All Do Not Favor the FOrty-Eight-
Hour Law.

The ST. Paul mail carriers are divided
in regard to the advisability Of the forty
eight hour a week law that is pending
before congress, notwithstanding the fact
that the passage of the measure was rec
commended at the national convention of
the Letter Carriers association. Many
of them are of the opinion that the law
places it in the power OF the postmaster
to make their days work as long as he
may deem advisable within the limit and
is therefore Objectionable.
GAS l understand the law" said Su-
perintendent of Carriers H. ]. Hadlich
yesterday, 1T will be of benefit TO the
public. For instance, on the first half OF
the week the mail is usually light, and
the carriers cover their routes much
more quickly than on the remainder of
the week. On Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, when the mails are heavy, owing
to the arrival of the country publica-
lions and the weeklies, the carriers work
eight hours under the present system and
then bring back the mail that they have
not delivered On Saturdays this remains
in the postoffice until Monday morning.
I believe that if the hours and half hours
saved earlier in the week are put in later
on it will mean a great benefit for the
public. AS it is now d man is credited
with eight hours, even if he only actual
ly works seven hours"

HORSE AUCTIONS.
Their Success Prompts the Holding

of Another One Shortly.
The horse auctions inaugurated by
Thuet Bros, of South st. Paul, have be-
come most popular during the past few
months under the management of this
firm and several thousand head of horses
have found new owners as a result
While the october sale was one of the
largest of theaseason it was deemed ad-
visable to suspend the horse business with
the approach of cold weather. This ar
rangement did not meet with the approval
of buyers, however, and the result of
numerous inquiries was another sale on
Tuesday and yesterday, when about LOCO
head Of horses were disposed of at pFi-
vate sale to the highest bidders The
auction feature of the sale was largely
attended by local and Out-of-tOwn buy
ers, and bidding. was spirited. The. bulk
of the horses sold at prices ranging from
$40 to $25i while the better class. animals
sold at $50 and SIS. .-et-.:.-~<.~r s,4, t.
While the inquiries received beforehand
more than warranted the holding of the
sale. the success that, 1t attained was
astonishing to all who were interested
So great, in fact, was the demand at this
sale that it has been determined to. hold
one more before the winter fully opens.
Horse owners and horse buyers are alike
confident that another sale is almost an
absolute necessity, and so it will be held
in the near future" The exact date has
not been decided on, but it will probably
be in the first week in December This
will be the final sale until next spring,
when it is the intention to MAKE them
a regular institution, of the South ST. Paul
stock yards, and during next spring and
summer large horse auctions. will be held
by Thuet Bros. at intervals of tW %. weeks.
Some idea of the magnitude Of these
sales may be- gained when it is known
that the number Of horses shipped into
the Union stock yards at South st. Paul
during the first eleven months of 1899 ex-
ceeds the same period in 1898 by about
1900 head. 'es- - =.

New Sleeping Car Tickets.

A new form of sleeping car ticket
which, it is believed, will save passengers
much of the annoyance now occasioned in
checking berths, is being experimental
with by the Pullman company on the
Alton road between Chicago and St
Louis. The ticket consists of four at
tached coupons, the first Of which is
torn off and retained by the agent sell
ing the ticket. the second goes to the
the sleeping car company and the fourth
is given to the passenger as a check for
his berth, displacing the old porter's
check given passengers in exchange for
their tickets.

John Allen Gets After Fred EschIe
With a Knife

Trouble over a negro woman led to a
cutting affray between John Allen, col
ored, and Fred Eschle yesterday in which
Eschle was slightly injured. Allen is the
husband of the woman in the case.
The cutting occurred at Joseph Zemet's
tinshop, Selby avenue and st. Adams
street. where sEschle worked Allen Wis
tied the place, and, after a short CONVEX
sation with Eschle, pulled a pocket
knife and made several vicious slashes
al Eschle. One stroke Of the blade made
slight cut on Eschle's forehead while
in another effort Allen cut Eschle's trou-
sers across the abdomen, but the knife
did not penetrate the flesh.
According to Aliens story, Eschle has
alienated the affection of his wife Allen
says he met Eschle at Eighth and Robert
street Tuesday evening, and that the
white man drew revolver on him. Allen
will not say what he went to see Eschle
for, simply insisting that EschIe came be-
tween him and his wife. He says he did
not intend to hurt Eschle merely wishing
to scare him so he would let the woman
alone.
