DEATH VICTOR AT LAST
YOUNG WILLIE KONZEM SUCCUMBS
AFTER LONG FIGHT.

After a heroic struggle for life, Willie
Konzem, the Commercial club bell boy,
who has been suffering from lockjaw at
the city hospital, died at o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
While celebrating the Fourth of July,
young Konzem had his hand badly LAGER
ated by cannon cracker that exploded
while he was holding it. The injuries
were painful but were not considered
serious until several days later, when
he was taken with such violent pains in
the jaw that he was obliged to cease
working. He consulted a physician and
was removed to the city hospital, where
it was decided that he was suffering
from lockjaw and could not live. The
carbolic acid treatment was started, but
with little hope for results. He grew
gradually worse, and for the last three
days his death has been hourly expected
To the surprise of the attending physi-
clans however the young fellow, with
astonishing pluck, passed safely through
a series of violent commissions, and chung
to life. His jaws were almost set and
he gradually declined until the time Of
his death
Konzem was eighteen years old and
lived with his parents at 226 Grove street.

DEATH
FALLS FROM TOP OF A POLE
His Face Is Crushed Into Pulp,
and Numerous Bones Are
Fractured and
Broken.

John Corcoran, an employee of the st.
Paul Gas Light company, received in
juries by falling from pole at Third
and Robert streets at $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon from which he died four
hours later Corcoran was at work on

SURROUNDINGS
WOULD HAVE A LARGE PARK
Proposed Plan Involves Cost of FgO,-
OOO-It Would Reclaim Waste
Land Adjacent to the
Edi6ce.

With the handsome state capitol as
Stunning symmetrical shape attention has
been directed to the waste of land and
shacks that surround it, and the latest
scheme to be evolved is a handsome park
that would face the big marble structure
from the west.
Charming Seabury, the resident member
of the capitol commission has probably
given the park idea more attention than
any one in st. Paul, and to the park
board at its meeting last night Mr. Sea-
bury unfolded his scheme
Mr.. Seabury's idea is the absorption Of
the two triangular blocks extending from
Park avenue to st. Peter street and
bounded on the north and south by Uni
versity avenue and Wabasha street. the
removal of the present shackS that cover
them and the turning of the ground into a
magnificent park.
Fronting the capitol on the west is
Park avenue, a thoroughfare scarcely
fifty feet wide yet north of the capitol
branching out into an avenue nearly one
hundred feet in width. To make the
street uniform its entire length would
require the purchase of a strip on the
east side $50 feet in width, and as this
would leave the remainder of the block
practically unfit for building purposes,
Mr.. Seabury proposed the purchase of the
remainder and the turning of the whole
into large park. AS compensation for
a strip that would be necessary to bring
the street north and south of University
avenue in alignment. Mr.. Seabury Of
fered lot on the block to be condemned

power house purposes. From values OBJ

improvement at So, goo.
For years the board has had under con-
sideration the parking of Como avenue
between Rice and Western avenue and
the construction of a boulevard that
Como park, and to this scheme Mr. Sea-
bury's idea lent additional attraction
This was to make the state capitol and
Como park the terminals of the drive
way, Park avenue to furnish the en-
trance. The cost for the two improve
ments, about $4,000 somewhat staggered
the board, but this was relieved by
showing that the assessment for the i'm
provement could be spread over a large
territory, even to the parking of Como
avenue, for which a forty-foot strip its
entire length would be required The
board seemed 80 be favorable to the pro-
ject, and in order that public opinion
might be secured, laid the affair over un-
I'll its next meeting
Mr.. Seabury Informed the board that if
the land was bought ST. Paul would have
to furnish the money. Up to date a trihe
less than eight acres of land have been
bought and this must eventually be
swelled to ten acres in order to take care
of strip that the property owners orig
inally asked prohibitive prices for
