City Recorder Williams Would Reduce
Councils Expenditures.

Previous to the meeting of the coun-
Gil Friday night, a secret session was
held, at which City Recorder Williams
called attention TO the fact that some
of the funds are running low, and that
the city has been undertaking to do
too much. The road fund is already
overdrawp, over So, 100 having been
paid out from it during the past
month. The park fund is also low.
Mr.. Williams does not feel like draw
ing the lines too tightly, inasmuch as
about SO, 600 will be received from
the county treasury in November. Of
this amount, some 81, 600 will go to the
road fund. However, Mr.. Williams
intimated to the aldermen that they
should go slow during the winter and
not order anything that is not abso-
lutely necessary. The bills allowed by
the council last night footed up several
thousand dollars. Among them was
an installment of $500 on VIM. Page s
sprinkling contract, the final install
ment of 1878. 55 on Masters & Nc
Lauren's Record and Fulton street
sewer contract, and $780, 10 for new

APPRECIATE SERVICES
Rev. DR.. COwgilIs Former Congregation
Show Their Lihera1ity.

On Monday evening Of last week,
a party of gentlemen connected with
First church waited on the pastor,
Rev. DR.. Cowgirl, at his home, and in
very happy manner manifested their
appreciation of his labors among them
during the last four years. On behalf
of the whole congregation, which they
represented, they presented him with
a purse containing five hundred dollars
in gold. The proceedings were quite
informal, and public reception will
be rendered to the pastor and family
on his return from the conference at
Chat6eld
The above item is copied from the
Christian Advocate and shows the
high esteem in which DR.. Cowgirl was
held by his former congregation at
st. Paul, MINI.
DR.. Cowgirl was stationed at st.
Paul for four yerrs and during that
time the church wiped out an indebt-
edness of So, 000 Although strongly
petitioned to return to st. Paul, the
doctor desired to make change.
Rev. Cowgirl occupied for the first
time the pulpit at the M. E. church
Sunday morning and evening, and
the church was crowded at both SER
vices. The city extends to DR.. Cow
gill hearty welcome.

who was born and bred in Roumania,
and spent many years on the Bull
garian- Turkish frontier, where Miss
Ellen Stone, the American missionary,
is held captive by brigands, says the
only way to save her life is to pay the
ransom money. Mr.. Goldneberg was a
government contractor for the Russian
government during the Turko- Russian
war in 1878, and he knows the country
about the Balkan mountains in which
the bandits have their fastness, like a
book.
Said Mr.. Goldberg today:
The bandits under Bous Sarafou are
lot of renegade ruffians recruited
from Austria, Roumania, Bulgaria and
possibly Russia. They are men with
out country and they recognize no
nationality. They are the offscouring
of that part of Europe-a band of des-
peradoes who had forfeited all recog-
milton from civilized society long be-
fore their misdeeds forced them to fee
to the mountains to escape felons'
cells. They have taken the oath, call
for one, and one for all, - and once
they have executed such a bold under
taking as the abduction of Miss Stone,
you may be sure they will show no
weakness.
The mountainous frontier will make
it we'll nigh impossible for the Turk
ish and Bulgarian troops, which, l
notice, are in pursuit of the brigands,
to capture them. Sarafou's men are at
home in the mountains, and they I'M
doubtedly have secret retreats in
which they can subsist indefitely,
where it will be practically impossi BILE
for the troops to follow them, even
should their location be discovered. If
present conditions are anything like
they were there twenty years ago,
Sarafou probably has a little princi-
pality of his own in the mountains. I
know the bandits used to have herds
of cattle and sheep, and they are we'll
supplied with ammunition. They
could put up stubborn resistance in
definitely. They hold the peaceable
people of the valleys in such abject
terror that the latter would hardly be
instrumental in bringing them to JUS
tice for fear the bandits would be
revenged upon them.
While the combined forces of the
Turkish and Bulgarian governments
might possibly bring the robbers to
justice after protracted siege, and
very much doubt the ability of the SOL
diers to run those wild fellows to
cover-a declaration of war will me n
the certain death of the missionary.
If her friends want to save her life,
their only recourse is to see that the
demand of the bandits for ST., 900 is
satisfied, and that such amount be paid
over to them as soon as posi- BILE.
Mr.. Gold berg was born at Beresht
and was for any years resident of
Baku, in Reumania.

FATAL FALL.
NelS Peterson Survives But a
Few Hours.
Was at Work on His .Eew House, When
He Lest His Balance and Fell
From the Roof.

Nels Peterson, whose home was on
Prospect Heights, died at three O. clock
Thursday afternoon as the result of
injuries received from a fall which he
sustained at six o'clock the previous
evening.
Peterson had been having a house
built for himself on Bunker hill, near
the Shigley residence. The heavy rain
of Tuesday night damaged the Chin
ney, and he climbed up to replace the
plastering that had been washed out.
In some way he lost his balance, and
clutched the chimney to steady him
self. The chimney gave away and he
slid down the roof and to the ground,
a distance of eighteen or twenty feet.
He was picked up unconscious by
some carpenters that were working
on the house and was conveyed to his
home and medical assistance summon
ed. 1t was found that the man had
three ribs broken, one arm broken
near the elbow, and the shoulder blade
broken. He fingered along until he
died yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was sixty-four years
of age, and had resided in Mankato
for nearly a quarter of century.
He was a plasterer and mason by
trade. His wife survives him, and
also son, Herman at Seattle, Wash.
daughter, Mrs. Anna Chandler at
Billings, Montana, and two children
in this city-Josie and Kennie. Much
regret is expressed at his sudden TAX
ing off, and the family have the SYM
pathy of their many friends.
1t had been the intention of Mr..
Peterson to move into his new home
Monday next. He had it paid for,
and took much pride in it.
The funeral will occur at two O. clock
Sunday afternoon from the house.

strange that he would assist in the as,
sault and robbery of his friend.
Sullivan is fairly we'll dressed and
does not have the appearance of an
ordinary tramp. His hands indicate
that he has been doing manu- al labor.
He is twenty-eight years old.
None of the authorities were notified
until last evening, and no steps were
taken to apprehend Sullivans as
sailants
Sullivan informed County Commits
sioner Epson that his home is in Des
Moines, and that his parents are dead.
He has two sisters, one married an
the other in college for the blind.
He said that he is paper hanger by
trade.
According to the account given by
Sullivan, he and his partner boarded
the train at st. Paul. The other two
persons got into the Car two stations
north of Mankato, and he does not re-
member much more.
Some are inclined to think that the
man was put off the train and received
his injuries that way.
