VESSEL WRECKED IN FOG
Captain and Crew Were lashed to
Rigging For SO Hours.

st. Johns. N. F.. Nov. 1S.-The bar
kentine Titania, from Liverpool for
st. Johns, was wrecked on Saturday
In a dense fog near Cape Race. One
man, Williams, lost his life in trying
to reach the shore. The captain and
the rest of the crew, all of whom were
badly injured, had a terrible expert
ence. They were on the wreck for SO
hours, lashed to the rigging, and were
not rescued until yesterday afternoon.
So thick was the fog that the coast
folk were not aware that wreck had
occurred the crew being unable to
make any signals that would attract
attention. The fact that the Titania
was in cove between the cliffs made
it impossible for the crew to land. The
ship is total wreck and the cargo
is lost

APPRAISERS MAKE ESTIMATE.
Turnblad Property Not Worth What
He Asks for 1t.

AFTER conference lasting scarcely
TWO hours, the board of appraisers ap-
pointed IN the condemnation proceeedings
py the Minneapolis Park board against
Swan j. Turnbiad, decided that Mr.. Turn.
biads property abutting on Lowry park
is of a reasonable value of not rlora
than Sl4242
Should Mr.. Turnblad remove the frame
dwelling now standing on the property.
the appraisers thought the land would
be worth $13,642.
The lot in question under appraisal bor
derS on Loring park near the corner of
oak Grove street and Hennepin avenue
Mr. Turnblad claimed the proper.y
was worth $30,000a and recently declined
an offer of $4,000 which the park board
made before commencing condemna ton
proceedings.
An effort was made years ago by the
park board to acquire the property, but
for various reasons the deal fell through.
Since then the board on several occl-
Sl0ns has eVinced desire to acquire
the land. but owing to lack of funds has
been unable to do so.
Recently it became known to the board
that Mr.. Turnblad contemplated erecting
100000 residence on the property
This led to negotiations which, how
then commenced condemnati ton proceed
ings.
The board of appraisers which passed
upon the value of the land consisted of
John De Laittre chairman, ]. B. Gil.
flllan, Alvin E. Eckhoyn, f. l.. Palmer
and John Crosby.
The board met for the first time yester-
day morning and visited Loring park and

months ago. when. the same matter was

In the former statement, referred to by
Chairman Barton, he explained that the.
committee had decided that it would be

Intention Evidently Is to Minimize

LONDON, Nov. IA second meeting
of the cabinet Is the only sign of excite
ment in England over the French naval
demonstration at Mitylene. The press
comments are cautious and temperate,
and the leader writer's are content with
an expression of hope that the sultan
will make a timely concession to the
French government and enable the fleet
to withdraw after protecting unimportant
national interests.
There is an evident intention upon the
part of the English press to minimize
the Mitylene affair as much as possible
and class it with the recent efforts of
the United States and Austria Hungary
to obtain the settlement of private
claims.
Apart from the Franco-Turkish ques-
tien, which is regarded as having been
considerably siraplified by the French
explanations received at the foreign Of
flee to the effect that France has no in
tention of permanently occupying the ISL

for more strenuous efforts to end the
campaign. One of the immediate results
will be the dispatch of 1900 cavalry from

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
A Workman ON Short Line Bridge
~ Accidentally Falls.

Anton Oonk, structural iron worker,
employed on the Chicago, milwaukee, &
ct. Paul short line bridge. Just below
Franklin avenue. fell from the UPPER
part or the structure to the river below,
distance of 120 feet, and received In
juries from which he died a few hours
later at Asbury hospital.
The accident occurred at $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Oonk was a SUBJ
foreman in charge of crew of men en-,
gagged in carrying heavy steel beams on
to the bridge by means of a hand car.
The tracks on which this car ran is about
twenty feet from the top of the struc-
ture, which stands 142 feet above the Mis-.
sissippi.
Oonk had reached the west end of the
bridge with his car and had arrived at q
space about twenty feet wide under
which there was no false work The
ties there were three or four feet apart.
and before his companions could save
him lost his balance and fell headlong to
the river below. During the descent
ConkS head struck against the masonry
of the bridge, and received the injury
which was the direct cause of his death
The body was picked up by Oonk's
BROTHER Henry, who was also employed
on the bridge. and who witnessed the ac-
cident. 1t was found lying in shallow
puddle of water near one of the piers
Eoth legs and arms were broken, and
Tie skull was fractured near the base.
Oonk was still alive, though uncon-
scious. when picked up. He was imme,
diately taken to Asbury hospital, but the
physicians there could do nothing for
him, and he died in a few hours. Cor
orer Williams viewed the remains last
night. and decided that postmortem ex-
animation was unnecessary. The body
will be taken to Milwaukee today.

NEW DELIVERY ROUTES.
Hennepin County Nearly Covered
with Free Delivery Service.


Hennepin County Nearly Covered
With Free Delivery Service.
For the past two weeks Gilbert Gut
tersen, special agent of the rural free
delivery service, has been quietly at
work in Hennepin county, and as d re-
suit he has locat&tE seven additional
routes and will this week conclude in
vestigation of two others.
Seen at the Nicollet last evening Mr..
Guttersen stated that he had recon-
mended the establishment of the seven
routes. and that he will doubtless rec
ommend the establishment of the 9TH
ers.
Said he: Taking it for granted that
these recommendations pass muster at
headquarters, and, a rule very few
are turned down, Hennepin county WILL
in the near future, be practically COW
with twenty-six of them in operation.
1t will lead all sections of the state
in this regard -
is.recommendations will include two
routes from Dayton. one southeast to-
ward Champfin and the other southwest
down the east side Of the Crow river
and returning on the opposite bank in
Meeker county.
Rogers. one to pass Fletcher postoffice
and reaching to Coreoran, while the 9TH
er passes through Hassan and goes to
BurSchvtlle.
One route is recommended northwest
from Hanlel to corcoran and S;urscil-
Vile: one runs northwest from Ioretto
into Greenwood township, and one addi-
tional route is recommended at Maple
Plain, covering all that is uncared for
Of Independence township.
Mr.. Guttersen is investigating the ad-
visibility of two routes at Eden PraI-
rie. one at Minnetonka Mills and one
at Richfield. His work here will be con-
cluded this week. and he will then go
to the Second congressional district for
the next two months.

MARYL AND WORRIES
SETTLE SEVERAL VERY
CLOSE CONTESTS
ODDS FAVOR THE DEMOCRATS
Arthus p. Gorman's Friends Will
Very Likely Be in Control in
Both Branches of the State
Legislature.

BALTIMORE, Nov THE supervisors
of election in the various counties of the
state comm. enced today at noon the Oft
cial canvass of the vote cast last Tues
day, and until it is finished no positive
figures car be given as to the complexion
of the next legislature. 1t. is probable
that the count outside OF the city will
be completed by tomorrow, although at
late hour tonight no official reports
had been made.
: 1t will require two, and, perhaps, three
days to complete the count III Baltimore
city, but enough is known to make it Ger
tain, in the absence of unexpected chang
es in the official count, that the Demu-
Gratis will control both branches of the
legislature. They have elected one ana
probably two additional delegates from
Baltimore city, two from Cecil county,
and possibly one from Caroline, which
have heretofore been counted in the Ee-.
publican column. This will give the DEM
ocrats fifty votes in the house and at
least seventeen in the senate, or a ma
jority on joint ballot.
The returns thus far received show
several unusually close contests. In Cal
oline county, fer instance, Stevens. Re-
publican, has but one majority over JEFF
ferson, Democrat. In Carroll, where an
evenly divided delegation was chosen,
twenty-five is the highest majority Tor
the Republicans. In Cecil the only sue.
cessful Republican wins by the narrow
margin Of fourteen votes, while in Kent
the successful Democratic candidate has
but five majority, the successful Repub-
liean but twelve, and two defeated candf-
dates are tied In Somerset the success
full Democrat has twenty-five majority.
In st. Mary's twenty votes give the Dem
ocrats their lowest delegate. In Talbot
county the only Republican elected has
a majority of but thirty three, and none
of the Democrats chosen in Baltimore
city has to exceed 100 votes to spare.
1t will thus be seen that the official
count may make some radical changes
in the makeup of the lower house, but
it is not probable that they will material
sly affect the result, as both sides are
likely to suffer equally by it.
1t will also require the official vote to
decide the fate of the state ticket, and
the present indications are that neither
of the successful candidates will have a
majority of 1000, the indications pointing
to the election Of Herring pem.J Tor
comptroller, and Parran Rep.) for clerk
sof the court of appeals.

James III. Harris Did Not Want His
BROTHERS, Money.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. d. Elwood, of Elma,
Iowa, called at L G o e office last
evening and asked to have a statement
made by one of the evening papers cor
rected. The charge was TO the erect
that James r. Harris went to Elna,
Iowa, from Minneapolis and abducted
his brother, and also induced him to
make a draft for $1,600 in his favor.
The facts of the case are as follows:
James 0 Harris, who is a resident of
Minneapolis, went to Elma to visit his
brother William, who has several times
been committed to the insane asylum,
and upon his arrival William insisted
on making out the draft for $l,600 and
giving it TO James. who at first refused
to take it, but later in order to humor
him took the draft.
About eight hours afterward William
went violently. insane. and James
thought the best thing to do with him
was to bring him to Minneapolis for
treatment, which he did on the first
train. He said nothing to his sister and
brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Eiwood,
happened they hastened alsS to Mime
apolis to see if they could be Of any
assistance. sssaa
1t. was during his examination in the
probate court that the draft incident
came up. There was no intention what
ever on the part of James Harris to
have the draft given him by his brother
William cashed, SO he turned it over to
MI. and Mrs. Elwood upon their ar
rival.
As Mr.. William Harris is a resident
OF Iowa, there was nothing which could
be done with him in this state, and he
returns today to Iowa, where he will

lons have always been the pleasantest,
