@F Died Last Night.

George N. Merriam, real estate
dealer whose exten sive operations had
much to do with the early history OF
the city and whose acquaintance was
at his residence, 90 Seventh street S.,
about midnight last night.
Mr.. Merriam, althp he had not been
actively in real estate for two decades,
was a large holder of city properties,
the corner occupied by the SantriZos
fruit store at Sixth street and First
avenue S. and the Rialto block at
Seventh street and First avenue S,
being among his local holdings. His
presence In the business district dur
ing a greater pant of each year and
his former activity in the local real
estate field has caused him to be one
of the well-known characters in the
city.
Mr.. Merriam was born in Uxbridge.
Mass, Dec. &c, 1854, and was engaged
for several years in the VIII olesale dry
goods business in Boston. the firm be-
ing styled Merriam. Tasker & Co.
While he was in this business his
throat became affected and he retired
from it and came to Minrtes ota in 1896,
engaging, shortly after, in the real es-
tate business in Minnea polls.
Almost entirely thru h IS efforts Park
avenue. now one of the best of the
residence streets. was laid out at its
present unusual width and he gave the
avenue it's name.
He retired from the active partici-
patton in real estate matters twenty
years ago and since then has generally
made his headquarters at the Nicollet
hotel. The past twelve winters have
been spent by him in southern Cali
fornia. He leaves a widow and two

ing ct the Berkeley hotel, and Mrs,

Washington, Nov. 20.-The old fight

advantage because of the absence OF
Mr.. Loud, for a number of years the
chairman of the house committee on
postoffices and post roads, who has
consistently opposed the increase. His
position is said to have brought about
his defeat for reelection, and reports
are that the Carriers National asso-
citation contributed not little towards
it. The bill may now get out of COM
1nittee and before the house for final
passage without prejudice. Obviously.
1t is the intention of the national Fed
Grafton of Labor to mark for slaughter

HAMILTON CASE
IS TAKEN UP
Fate of Minneapolis Prisoner in
Hands of the State Board
of Control.
Favorable Action May Come To-day
Hamilton Spends Two Hours
With the Board.

The state board Of control met this
forenoon at the prison at saltwater
with all members present, and at once
took up the application of Frank Fl.
Hamilton of Minneapolis for a parole.
Hamilton was sent for and examined
for two hours. He was closely. Dues
toned as to the state of his health
and his prospects for suitable employ
ment.
The board also went over much of
the testimony taken at the trial and
gave due consideration to every item
of information bearing upon the case.
All the petitions and papers in the
proceedings for a parole were care
fully weighed.
Hamilton Is Hopeful.
When Hamilton emerged from the
and cheerful, but deprecated any
newspaper notoriety. He said to a
Journal representative:
Il wish you would not say anything
more about my case at present. l
have been advertised in the newspa
pers too much and hopeto drop out
of sight and be left alone. OF course,
am grateful for all the kindnesses
that have been shown me and / shall
never forget the friends who have
gathered around me during my
trouble. 81.
THE members of the board i'm
pressed me with their desire to do
just what is right and I am under the
greatest kind of obligations to them
for the fairness and consideration
which they showed me in the exami
nation. am hoping for the best. No
one who has not been in prison can
appreciate my longing for freedom
and chance to make a new name
for myself"
Hamilton Is looking pretty we'll and
says he is feeling better than he did
week ago. He is nervous and thin.
but says he believes he will recuper-
ate rapidly when he can breathe good
outside air once more.
a Parole Not Yet Granted.
If the parole is granted to-day it
will not be until a late hour. After
Edismissing Hamilton the board took
UP gother applications. Up to 2
O'clock this afternoon the board had
not discussed the parole Of Hamilton,
but the time devoted to his case was
spent in his examination and a gen
case.
Probably To-day.
It is believed that the parole will be
granted. in all probability some time
to-day, and that Hamilton will be re-
leased at once. Inasmuch as all the
members Of the board are present and
can sign the papers, it will not be
necessary to send them to st. Paul
as has usually been the case in other
proceedings of this kind.
Back to Newspaper Work.
Hamilton intends to rest and recu-
| perate his health for a time after Sc
curing his freedom. He has been Of
fered and has Professionally accepted
| a position ON the Minneapolis Times
upon which he was employed at the
time of the killing of Leonard Day.

The transportation committee OF the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, COM
posed of George F. Piper, Hugh L. Lit
tie, John L. McCaull, J. H. Martin and A.
II. Poehler had a long conference yester-
day afternoon with j. J. Hill and J. w.
Blabon. principally with reference to the
more efficient handling Of cars ie Mime
apolis terminals. The subject of rate
discrimination against Minneapolis was
also gone into at some length. The COM
mittee is satisfied that the terminal man
agement in Minneapolis Is efficient, but all
that can be done here fails to make the
service satisfactory. The recent embargo
which shut off the transfer of cars from
Great Northern to Milwaukee rails and
vice versa. worked great hardship to cash
grain men altho 1t lasted only few days.
Messrs. Hill and Blabon were disposed
to help out as far as lay in their power,
and asked for specific instances Of delays
and unsatisfactory service which were
given.

VERY CHEAP LAND.
Build . Pier in the River and Get
an Island in Two
Years.
Joel B. Bassett and Other Old Set
tiers Say This Has Been
Done.

~ one pier causes one island to be
formed In the Mississippi river In two
years, how many years will it take
Tor the almost countless piers now in
the river completely to fill up and
change the channel Of the Father Of
Waters?
This rather unusual and unanswer-
able question Is suggested by the tes-
tlmony of Joel B. Bassett, taken re-
Gently In a dispute over the posses
sion OF the two islands In the river
between the Plymouth avenue bridge
and the mouth of Bassett's creek. The
chicago. Minneapolis, ST. Paul & Oma-
ma Railway company has been adj
judged the owner of certain lands
along the river bank and claims these
islands on the ground that they have
been formed since the government
survey in the early fifties. Mr.. Bas-
sett's testimony was taken few days
ago by the railway company before
Judge Harrison in support of their
contention.
The witness came to Minneapolis
in 1850. In 1856, according to his tes-
timony, he built his sawmill on the
banks OF the river and built a pier
for the handling of down. coming logs.
In 1857. Mr.. Bassett states there were
no islands in the vicinity. but within
two years after the building of said
pier, sand had collected around the
same in an amount sufficient to rise
above the water (ten feet deep on
an average) and to form the nucleus
Of an island. Later another pier was
built and in time another island was
formed,
This extraordinary growth Of the
islands in question is verified by sew
eral other old settlers and has led to
the question as to whether other val
liable island property may not at any
time be built in the river thru the
same causes.
