KILLED WHILE AT WORK.

Hermann was twenty-three years of
age, and was employed by the owner of
the pump in shoyeling coal from another
barge into the one in which the pumping
machinery was placed It was while in
the act of performing this work that
he met his doom. He was heard to
scream twice, probably as he was being
drawn with irresistible force toward the
windlaSs. His left arm was the trSt
part of the body to be caught. and one
revolution of the spool literally tore it
from it's socket Next his left leg was
drawn in and this was broken in several
places and crushed in a terrible manner
When Guion first caught sight of the
spool, Hermanns body was being
whirled around it with great speed, and
before he had time to shout to the en-
gineer, 1t had been thrown off, to the
side of the barge. Death had ensued by
this time and the instant stopping of the
machinery did no good
At the autopsy it was seen that the
front part of the skull mad been cracked,
the nasal bones had been ground into
small fragments and the bones of the
face had been smashed until recognition
of the features was almost impossible.
Hermann lived at Fifth and Rosabel
streets, in boarding house. but before
he received work on the levee ne lived
with his father. who is car repalrer
for the Chicago Great Western. at
Prescott and Andrews streets. Lieut..
Meyerding, of the Ducas street station,
notified his relatives of the sad affair,
and the father and one of the sisters
of the dead man fastened to the morgue
where they viewed the remains. The sis
ter was Frustrated by the horrible
spectacle presented by the crushed re-
mains of her brother, and had to be
removed to her home in carriage.
DR.. Miller, the coroner, has decided to
hold an inquest on the remains tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock, but from the
accounts of those who were closest at
the time of the accident, it appears that
no blame can attach to any one. It was
apparently an accident which could not
have been foreseen or guarded against.
1t will be recalled that an engineer
named Robert Pinhey met his death at
the government dam near minneapolis
last autumn, under almost precisely SIM
liar circumstances.

ACTION ON THE BUDGET
JOINT COUNCIL COMMITTEE DE
FERS MEETING UNTIL TODAY.

The school budget was to nave been
considered by the joint council commit
tee on ways and means yesterday, but
owing to the lack of quorum action
had to be postponed until today, when
another effort will be made to get the
committee together.
The budget this year calls for total
appropriation of 1915, 1885, and there is lit
tie probability that it will be cut by the
council. Last year the budget called for
$75OO0O, but the council reduced the
amount to $4,000
The city charter limits expenses to SIS
a pupil. but the budget this year is in
excess by $4,000 of what is allowed bv.
the charter. The evasion is credited to a
law passed by the last legislature, which
authorizes for school purposes the rails

was really passed for the benefit of Mn
neapolis, but its application must, as a
matter of course, be general. If the law
was observed to its limit, the board
would get nearly $500, 600.

PAVING is TIED UP
JACKSON AND OTHER STREETS
MAY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
SPRING
COUNCIL ASKS PROMPT ACTION
Would Take Advantage of Present
Rate War, nd Have Contracts ],
<1-s4N LetT without Further
~ u Delay.


No steps have as yet been taken by
the board of public works towards hurry
ing the orders which contemplate the
paving of Jackson and other streets
+, With the winter season coming on, the
time Is Shorthand all signs point towards
a postponement until next year.
Commissioner erode was credited with
saying, few days ago, that the board
might not see fit to call for any more
bids because of the lateness of the sea-
son, but the records for last year show
that street paving was done as late as
Oct. ~. the street in question being
Rosabel, in the vicinity of the union
depot sheds. The year previous paving
operations also extended Into October,
while September was quite fruitful in
this respect
City Engineer Claussen says he will not
permit any paving to be done after Oct
10, as the ground at that date is In
condition that forbids good work. If any
more paving is to be done this year, he
says 1t must be started upon without de-
lay.
Councilman say that if the present paw
ing war is to be taken advantage of, the
board will have to get to work at once.
fThey say even If the work Is not done
this year, the contracts may at least be
let. With the contracts chnched work
could be commenced when the spring
opens. The reluctance on the part of sew
eral members of the board of public
works to hurry the paving orders is
credited to their disapproval of the ac-
ton of the council in turning down or
ders that We're completed because asphalt
and the indemnity resolution was not
specified. 5
While to all outward appearances the
indemnity resolution was the cause of re-
lection of the awards on the part of the
council, the desire of many property own
ers to have the work postponed for an
other year was really the direct cause
Quit a number of pilgrimages were
made to thez ,various aldermen, and in
this way the defeat of the improvements
was brought about.
This fact tsrreeognized by City Engi-
neer Claussen1 and he is DESTROYS of hav-
ing a law that twill remedy this state
of affairs Pie cost thrown directly on
the shoulders of the property owners. he
says, often works a misfortune, and is
really responsible for delay in streets that
should by all means be paved Mr. Claus
sen would like a law either modifying the
present system of assessment or else
having the workSpaid for by the city at
large.

MANY WANT TO. SHOOT
LIVE FAWN HAS BEEN CAPTURED
AT DULUTH.

S. F. Fullerton, executive agent of the
state game and fish commission, was no
tilted yesterday of the arrest of two men
at Duluth, whose names were not given,
but who had in their possession a guam
tity of venison and a live fawn The
fawn has been sent to this city, and will
be presented to the park board to be
placed in Como park.
Mr. Fullerton is beset with all sorts of
applications for special permission to kill
game, contrary to the provisions Of the
game laws, and various excuses are offer
ed by the persons making the requests
One man who is camping near Long
Prairie has written to ask permission to
shoot chickens after sunset on Aug. 81.
He says that he does not shoot on Sun
day, and as Sept. /, the opening day of
the season, falls on that day, he fears
that all of the birds in the vicinity of
his camp will be killed before he can get
chance at them on Monday. Therefore
he would like to have an opportunity to
bag mess of them on Saturday night
He was informed that he could not shoot
chickens before Sept /, and if his re-
ligious scruples forbade his hunting on
that day, he must run chances of having
all the game killed before Monday - =

TICKET TO HEAVEN
ST. PAUL PAWNBROKER RECEIVES
ONE AS COLLATERAL Sc
CURITY FOR $50
A SMOOTH GAME OF BUNCo
Stranger HurriedIy Dashes Into
Town and Passes of Piece
of Paste for Genuine
Diamond.

. H. Michnisky, a member of the welq
known pawnbroking firm of that name on
Third street, was recently Victimized on
a trick that was as insulting as it was
clever,
A man rushed into the store in great
hurry. He displayed a diamond of APP
parent SURPRISING purity, set in ring, and
of more than ordinary weight.
GIVE me $40 on this for a few hours -
he said. u have to go out of the city
tonight and will redeem it before then.
Omitting the dialect, the reply of
Michnisky was to the effect that he was
not in the pawning business, and there
fore could not accede to the proposition
This was strictly true, as the city au-
thorities recently revoked the license Of
the firm.
Michnisky offered $50 for the stone out
right. The fashionably dressed stranger
laughed aloud, and said that anyone
could see his jewel was worth $3.50 If
it could not be pawned, why he would
go somewhere else; that was all.
To prove that he was in earnest, the
stranger offered to put up his railway
ticket as collateral security and repeat
ed that he could not fail to be back in a
few hours and in time to catch the even
ing train.
Rather than lose a good bargain, the
stranger was accommodated and he left
the place with $40 in real money. His
stone and his ticket were left behind.
The elder Miehnisky, by whom the
bargain was concluded, decided to sus-
pend congratulating himself long enough
to test the stone and find out where the
ticket of the stranger was about to take
him.
The gem he quickly discovered to be
paste, and then, falling back upon the
ticket, he learned from a friend who
could read English that 1t entitled the
bearer to a Grst-cIass passage to heaven
In popular slang, this was fierce" He
did not mind so much being taken in on
the stone-that was his own fault-but
to be furnished with transportation to
the pearly gates by a Gentle was more
than his Hebrew equanimity was proof

Unfortunate Young Man Dead Be-
fore Machinery Could Be stopped
Arm and Leg Cut Off
on Iron Spool.

Emil Hermann attempted to step over
a. rope connected with windlass on the
sand pump working on the union depot
fill at S:15 yesterday morning and few
seconds later his lifeless body partially
dismembered, would have role I into the
river but for the quickness of John Dunn,
engineer on the pumping barge.
How the unfortunate young man came
to be entangled with the rope which
drew him to instant death will never be
known, for no one saw him attempt to
step over the rapidly moving cable 1t
was not until he was being wound
around the iron spool of the windlass
that his Smothered cries attracted the
attention of WnEam Guion, who was
fishing close by the barge Guion shout
ed to the engineer, who stopped the ma
cninery and then ran to the assistance
of Hermann, who by that time was hor-
ribly mangled and quite dead His body
had been flung off the spool and was
rolling off the barge as he reached the
spot.
Turning to the windlass one arm and
portions of leg of the victim of the
accident were seen to be almost mex
tricably entangled with the rope wnich
wound around the spool To remove
them was the work of half an hour, and
then the fragments of the body were
collected. and, after having been viewed
by the coroner, were taken to the morgue
where an autopsy was conducted by DR..
A. w. Miller. assisted by DR.. Finnen.

ment of the child labor laws. so called
He says that in many parts of the state
manufacturers have been particularly lax
in the employment of children less than
fourteen years of age at work which
would bring them into contact with ma
chinery. This is directly a violation of
the law and Mr.. O'Donnell is deter
mined to put stop to the practice. AS
soon as the public schools open. the labor
bureau will take all possible measures to
see that all children who, under the pro-
visions of the law. should properly be at
school, are sent there. To that end Mr.
