The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-14

The homes of the well-to-do early
residents of st. Paul are either being
removed to make way for modern IL
not more pretentious structures or else
allowed to become dilapidated. Some
of the houses erected fifty years ago
are still in fair state of preserva-
ton and few of them are occupied
by the families of the original builders
When these old houses were built
they were the pride and wonder of the
citizens-as much so as the palatial
residences which now line that aristo-
cratic thoroughfare known as Summit
avenue. They speak of the tastes and
life of the old settlers and while the
style of architecture is of the past,
there is something home-like in the APP
pearance of the old dwellings and they
bring back to those connected with the
early history of the city pleasing
memories.
Moss House, Oldest Brick.
The Moss house at 2S9 South Ex-
change street, has the distinction OF
being the Oldest brick dwelling in st.
Paul. 1t was erected in 1853 by H. l..
Moss, the pioneer attorney. The lum-
Der used in the construction of the
house was purchased at Saltwater, and
while the home was being built Mr..
Moss and his family lived in a small
shanty on the upper levee.
The house was occupied as resi-

At last he accumulated a Sense of

He was proud of himself when he
counted UP the number of days during
which he had to stick to the Straight

deserved a Reward. So he decided to
buy himself a little Present something
costing about 10 cents. He picked out

TRAGEDY SEQUEL TO DESPAIR
Disheartened Lover Kills His Fiancee
aud Then Takes His
own Life.

NEW YORK. March sO.--Corlears park
was the scene Of a double tragedy last
night. A young Hebrew woman, probably
25 years of age, was shot and killed by a
youth Of about 20 years. who then killed
himself
Before the shooting the man and woman
were seen seated on a park bench. A
policeman saw the man place the revolver
to the woman's head She made no resist
ance and from this fact Il is the theory
OF the police that the murder and suicide
as carried out had been planned by the
two.
The man in the case was Sig
mund Blanc, and the girl was
Ida Klobock. He was a cigarmaker,
formerly OF Philadelphia, who came here
several months ago; she was a dressmaker
Of this city. They had known each other
in Poland, where he had courted her and
continued his attentions when they came
to this country. The girl told her parents
that Blanc wanted to marry her and that
he said he was making SIS week. Ida
said she did not believe It and last week
asked him to bring his pay envelope to her
Saturday night and II 1t contained SIS she
would marry him.
Blanc's shopmates say he worked extra
hard last week, but did not make more
than 50. He and the girl went walking last
evening. 1t is believed that when they
reached Corlears park Blanc in despair at
not being able to show that he had been
able to comply with the terms she insisted
on, killed her and then himself.
