ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
chas. Campbell, Bartender, Who Shot
Henry Scott in . Saloon at DeCraff
is Found Not Gui:ry Of Murder.

Chas. Campbell, who was indicted
for the murder of Henry Scott, which
took pla ;e in Kielty's saloon at De-
Graft on Sept. s, was acquitted last
Saturday in the district court at Ben
son. He set up the plea of self-de-
tense. Scott was drunk and unrulv
and refused to leave when ordered to
90 so and an alteration took place
which ended in Campbell, who was the
bartender, pulling gun and shooting
at Scott an companion. Scott was
wounded and died at a hospital at
Minneapolis on the following day.
Among the witnesses for the defense
was Ole Lundquist of Willmar. The
Benson Times says, "Ole Lundouist
OF Willmar, a deputy sheriff, testified
that Scott lived there year ago and
was quarrelsome and threatened to
kill several men. The county attor-
ney admitted that he had been a bar
tender there, and the statement was
made and not contradicted that he was
convicted of blind pigging there" In
regard to the close OF the trial the
Times says: At the conclusion of the
evidence Mr.. O]ney occupied thirty
i've minutes in presenting the states
side OF the case to the jury, after
which Mr.. McCune spoke in all two
hours and ten minutes. making the
plea of self-defense. Judge Qvale's
charge to the jury took forty-three
minute, and the jury then retired to
their room for deliberation and after
twenty hours rendered verdict of not
guilty, about nine O'Clock Saturday
morning. Upon the first ballot. we
are told, the jury stood six for acq uit-
tai and six for some punishment. The
second stood eight for acquittal and
the next ten for acquittal, and at last
the last two united with the others in
making the verdict unanimous in the
morning. The defendant was dis
charged, but after about an hours
liberty was rearrested upon the charge
OF shooting at Kielty, and unless bail
is secured, which is not probable, will
be obliged to liein Jail till next March,
when another grand jury meets.

Discontinued Publication.

The Parish Helper, which for the
past four years has been published
here as the organ OF the Episcopal
parishes at Willmar, New Paynesville,
Benson and Appleton, ceases its pub
lication with the November issue. The
managing and editing of the magazine
has been conducted by Rev. D. T. Booth
in q very creditable manner. Lack of
time and financial support are the
prime causes for its suspension, as
announced by the publisher in it's last
issue. AS parish paper it has full
dlled it's mission most acc sptably, and
will be greatly missed especially by
the parishioners of the respective
churches.

A most distressing accident occurred
last Saturday afternoon on the farm
of Martin Knudson, who resides about
three miles west of Willmar. The
victim is . young man % years Of age,
who was visiting at the place. His
name is given as Oscar Corbul and his

He was climbing q windmill with
the intention of fixing 1t, and when
about forty-fiv feet up one of the
rounds broke. He fell to the ground,
striking with such force as to break
his thigh-bone and five ribs. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that he
also suffered severe internal injuries
and the chances were very slight for
his recovery. DR.. MacLaughlin has
been attending him, and he has been
receiving the best of care. On Mou-
day, at the request of the family, DR..
K. Hoegh of Minneapolis was called,
being an old friend and former physi-

Committee on school buildings-James the Warrington Hooker school, to be paid at the rate of s600 per year. In connection with the above report it was voted that a special committee on construction be created, consisting of the present building committee rein forced by the committee on finance. The main subject was then brought
 up, of the resolution to be submitted to the board of finance in regard to the appointment of depository for the high school funds. It has been found that higher rate of interest will be paid by certain trust companies in New York than that now accruing in the
 Merchants National bank in New Ha-
 ven. Mir, Harmount seriously objected
 to considering a plan which looks to
 taking the funds outside of New Haven.
 holding that such a course would es-
 tabish a precedent dangerous to the
 New Haven commonwealth. But as
 this point can be decided by the board .of finance only, the resolution was framed without requesting that any special depository be appointed, only that it be some trust company paying higher rate of interest The resolu- tiGn, which is as follows, was adopted: :
 Whereas. The board of education will have no occasion to pay out the greater portion of the proceeds of the bonds issued for the construction of the new high school building for the period of about nine months,
 And, whereas, said fund is now re- ceiving but ? per cent, interest at the Merchants National bank, the present depository, while a higher rate is ob- tainable elsewhere,
 Therefore, the board of education re- quests the board of finance, in accord ance with the authority vested in them by section 20 of the charter, to desig- nate some trust company paying higher rate as a special depository for said fund.
 Voted, That the foregoing resolution be transmitted by the president through the mayor and the corporation counsel for his written opinion as to whether the foregoing resolution having been duly passed by the board of education and the designation of special depos- itory made by the board of finance there will be any legal objection to the making of such deposit in such special 
 The different plans for the new high school building, which had been submit ted according to specifications were then unsealed, and the board passed the remainder of the session discussing their features with the view of making a selection, adjouning between II and 12 o'clock.

 THE STOCK MARK EFT.
Efforts of the Bear Element Defeated.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The history Of to- days stock market was not materially different from that of each succeeding day for long time past. Selling to take profits came like flood in the opening dealings and the professional bears fell upon the market and offered prices down in an attempt to dislodge long stock. Their efforts had been de- feated, as they had been on many previous occasions by the supporting orders which came into the stocks at tackled and the new points of strength which were confidently marshaled from among the stocks which have not yet enjoyed any considerable rise. The point wherein to-day's market differed was that the profit-taking was renewed in force before the close and the un- settled condition continued until trad ing ceased, prices at that time show ing wide declines from the pest, and in some cases being well below last night. Loans made to-day on the stock eX- change carry over until Monday. But this fact, coupled with the year end re- quirements failed to create ripple of trouble in the call loan market. Only at the opening was per cent. asked, and the rate declined from that point. A strong bank statement seems assured tomorrow. The failure of the money market to harden was the occasion of the strong rally from the opening break in which Peoples Gas, Brooklyn Transit and Sugar were forced down from 1R to 8 points, The striking feat ure of the buoyant market which pre- vailed during the middle portion of the session was the inconsistency of the strength and demand for special stocks A rapid price movement in an individ- ual stock would be followed by a sharp reaction, while the speculative demand would shift hurriedly to other quarters. A few minutes consultation between traders on the floor would result in the formation of pool to take all offerings in some inconspicuous stock. After there were absorbed the price would be rapidly bid up 1, 2 or points. Such a manoeuvre never failed to attract a horde of speculative followers, buying orders coming from both within and without the exchange. These short time pools had no difficulty in liquidat ing their holdings at a handsome profit on the day. The list of stocks in which this operation occurred included many of the high grade railroad stocks as well as those known in stock ex- change parlance as cats and dogs. An incident of the day was the rise in St. Paul above Burlington. This suprem- acy was contested, the friends of Bur lington rallying the stock again to above St. Paul, but the latter closed within 9 half of the top and A above Burlington. The late reaction in the market was unexplained by any special incident, and was evidently due mere ly to general desire to convert paper profits securely into cash.
 The demand for bonds was not so con spicuous as yesterday, but there was strong points in the market. Total sales par value, s5,925, 900.

TRADES COUNCILS PETITION.
Committee on Buildings Votes to Rec
 ommend it to the Court of Common

Committee on Buildings Votes to Rec Council
 At the meeting of the committee on buildings last night the petition of the Trades council was before it for action. The petition is one asking that all labor on the new high school building be done by union men.
 There were over two hundred in the committee room when the meeting was called to order, and nine of those pres ent addressed the committee on the pe- tition and it's advantages. The major ity of those present were those who feel a deep interest in the affairs of the city and the taxpayers and were actuated by a desire to save any difficulties that might arise during the construction of the new school building.
 Those that spoke on the petition were John W. Cannon, president of the Plumbers union; William Costello, president of the Building Trades league; Joseph H. Mulvey, secretary of the Bricklayers' and Plasterers' union; Joseph Belasco, president of the Trades council; Aldermen Miller, COrcoran and Walter F WaLnh, Councilman Hawkins and Sheriff Hunie.
 Sheriff Hunie in his remarks pointed out the benefits and advantages of the work being done by union men, and said that better and quicker work would be the result When he had finished he was heartily cheered and applauded.
 There were no remonstrants to the petition and the committee voted to rec ommend it.

ST. PAUL's

Holy Innocents' day yesterday was day school festival. The school was d. vided, the primary and intermediate classes coming in the afternoon and the main school and the Bible classes i'll the evening. The parish house was fill ed each time by the scholars and their friends, and the entertainment was the same. The Christmas trees stood at the ends of the platform and between them was a screen upon which shadow pie lures were thrown
 The pictures illustrated the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose, and the words were sung while the pictures were shown. Jack and Jill Little Boy Blue, Simple Simon, Miss Muffet, Jack Hor- ner, Merry King Cole and all the rest were received with great enthusiasm. Mother Goose and Santa Claus played well their parts, ever old and ever new, Under MT. Stock the children sang with great spirit. About two hundred schol- ars were remembered in the afternoon and about three hundred in the even- ing Gifts, oranges and candy went to everybody, and everybody seemed hap DIV, Dolls and books and knives and boxes of tools and games went into many hands, with the chances of cut fingers and injured furniture to-day. MT. Lines and MT. Stokes made short addresses.
 beautiful picture of the Last Sup per was presented to the rector by the officers and teachers.
 The only drawback to the enjoyment of the festival was the absence of Judge Hollister detained by slight indisposi- tion and the bad weather. MT. Hollis ter has been superintendent of St. Paul's Sunday school since 1852 and the Sum day school has rarely met without him.
