Judge Ford was born in Ohio and comes
of an old and very honorable American
and Dutch ancestry. He graduated from
the cincinnati law school and was adj
nltted to the bar of Ohio, by the SUI

IN November OF. that year he came to
minnesota and was admitted to the bar

ne has since resided, always engaged in
the practice Of his profession. His stand,
ing at the bar is most creditable and he
has the confidence and esteem of lis
brother members Of the profession and
OF all others that know him. For four
years-from 1856 to 1S9o-he was special
Judge of the municipal court, and his Of
ficiaf record was an enviable one. He is
man Of unimpea chabIe character, a
good citizen, loyal to mis- adopted city and
to his friends, and his frank hearty and
cordial manners depict his honest, open
nature.
Judge Ford has never been an office
seeker or a place hunter, and was given
his present candidacy without his con-
sent, or even his knowledge, and solely
because his friends believed that the Of
flee of judge of probate should have a
capable and worthy Incumbent, and that
Frank Ford would completely fill these
requirements.
He ought to be elected by a most de-
cided majority.

the Terrible Fate That
Oyercame
Her.

AT st. Joseph's hospital yesterday aft
ernoon at o'clock Mrs. NJ Marine, of
24l2 West Third street, died as the re-
suit of terrible burns sustained yester-
day morning by an explosion of gaso-
line.
The accident was due to the lighting
OF match in close proximity to a basin
of gasoline in which Mrs Marine was
washing some dress remnants, and with
out warning Mrs. Marine was enVeIoped
in flames,
Her screams brought her husband, who
conducts cigar factory across the hall,
to the scene, but he, evidently crazed at
the scene, pushed his wife into the fac
tory, calling on some one to put out the
fire. A workman, seeing the woman s
flaming clothing, enyeloped her in Il
blanket and quenched the flames. On
this the crazed husband grabbed the
woman UP and carried her down stairs,
hardly realizing what he was doing
The patrol wagon, which answered the
fire call sent in, took the woman to the
st. Josephs hospital, but she was too
badly burned to give any hope for her
, covery. The fire had reached almoS :
her entire body, her face, neck and
breast suffering the worst The hair
was burned from her head. She also
inhaled some of the flame.
The terrible force of the explosion is
shown in the fact that all the wall pa
per was burned from the ceiling and the
plaster cracked. Dr.. Ohage attended the
woman.
The husband, in his efforts to save his
wife, was badly burned about the hands
and face.

George C. Stone, for many years a resi-
dent Of this city, and father of Mrs.
Thomas L. Blood and Mrs. P r. L. Hard
enbergh, of this city, was found dead in
bed Yesterday in his apartments at Kjtch-
igammi club, Duluth, of which city he
had for several years been a prominent
business man.
Mr.. Stone was asphyxiated by illumin-
ating gas. He evidently arose in the
night and, in rechang for the electric
light switch on the chandelier, turned
on the gas, then thinking that the light
on that end of the chandelier did not work
turned on the other, and did not turn
eff the gas. He then went back to bed
with the gas Jet turEed on full force.
The door was broken open at 9 o'clock,
and death is believed to have occurred
three hours previously.
George c. Stone lived in Duluth for
many years and was the man who 1iuanc-
ed the development of the Vernillion
Iron ange in this county. George SLuntZ
discovered the ore and interested Mr..
Stone, who went East and after many re-
Bluffs, successded in interesting Charlie
magne Tower in the development of the
range
Out of this grew the great Minnesota
Iron company, the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad. 1t was he who secured the
passage of the land grant to the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad through the legls-
lature. He retired from the company
some years ago, and took out a large
sum of money.
Throughout his life, he was an active
promoter and vigorous man. He was IS
years of. age at the time of his death and
was in the full possession of his intellect
ual facilities and was a healthy man
physically. Among the old settlers he
was perhaps as widely known as any
man. He was the president Of the Lake
Side Land company, of Duluth, at the
time of his death.
