AT REST

The Last Tributes Of Respect Paid to Thos.

The sad news was borne all over the
city of the death of one of the old res4
Sidents Of ST. Paul, Thomas H. Girls
void, who departed life Nov. 8, leav-.
ing wife and two daughters to mourn
his loss. Mr.. Griswold came to st.
Paul in the early days with his fam
lily. He was man of good character,
and one of the foremost to engage in
and good of the. citizens Of st. Paul.
His health had not been very good for
the last two years, and he went West
in the hopes of recruiting the same,
in which he was successful for q time,
but sickness laid hold Of him, not con-
f1ning him to his bed, so he returned
to st. Paul, and was here only short
time-two weeks-before he took to
his bed, never to rise again, after an
illness of twelve weeks. His end was
peaceful, and his soul returned to his
Maker, who had ever been present
with him during the last weeks Of his
sickness He was a Christian, be-
longing to the Baptist church in Nash
vile, Tenn, but did not. join any
CuuICu Ou CO4uAuS up mere, consequence
~ strayed away from his God. On his
bed doubts assailed him as to whether
forgiveness could be his. Ministers
and friends prayed earnestly with him,
and after praying many days with
him, light broke into his soul, and he
was assured that forgiveness was his,
and that his Maker was ready and
willing to receive him back into the
fold again. He suffered very little
pain. He knew his end was near, and
was conscious up to the last, saying
at one time before the end came, The
Lord is sweetly guiding. sss
The Lord giveth and the Lord Ia
keith. Blessed be the name of the
Lord, and when Christian departs
this life, we can only say the Lord
giveth and He taketh His own unto
Himself again.
His remains were brought to Pill
grim Baptist church, and Revs. d. S.,
Orner and ]. G. Anderson preached the
sermon. The choir sang as seldom
before, and the Homeland sung by
Mrs. r. G. Minor, and Rock Of
Ages" sung by Mr.. Allen French.

Northern Pacific sleeper, was killed at
Portland, Ore, some days. ago by be-
ing backed upon by the train. Fergu-
son was standing on the track, and
did not notice the approach of the car
untilhe was struck and knocked down.
The wheels passed over both of his
legs, and it was found necessary to
amputate them. This and the other
injuries caused his death. The re-
mains were brought to st. Paul Mon
day afternoon, and the burial occur
red in Forest cemetery Tuesday. Fer
guson was married, and his wife and
children live at. 424 Edmund street. He
had been in the railroad service with

metropolitan success Hotel Topsy
Turvey," which is announced for early
presentation here, won triumph Of

this season it is reported to have
crowded the Herald Square Theatre,
while its runs in London and Paris also
went to unusual lengths. The play

DAY OF ARGUMENT.
Fight Over Admission of Testimony
In Corcoran Murder Case

Wallace, Ida, July 21.-Most of the
day was taken up with argument on the
admissibility of Corcoran's evidence be-
fore the coroner's jury. The judge took
the mat er under advisement until to-
morrow morning. stating that he doubt
ed if it was admissible. The state will
make every possible effort to secure its
admission, as it contradicts every wit
ness who has aided in proving an alibi.
Corcoran testified before the coroner
jury that he went home at II o'clock.
remaining until 4. during which time
he saw and conversed with but two
persons. This is in conflict with the
testimony of more than a dozen wit
nesses, who testified to seeing and con-
versing with him in Burke between
these hours.
Juror Carr has been i'll all day and
tonight is under the care of a physi-
clan. His sickness may delay the trial
somewhat
