DIED.
MRS. JAS. DAVIS.

In the death of Mrs. Jas. DAVIS
Union City loses one of its oldest
and best citizens in many respects.
She was a good woman, one in
whom the friendless would always
find a friend, from whom the needy
was sure to get relief, and the sor-
rowtul sympathy. Not the least OF
her many christian virtues was
cearity; not only giving to those in
need, but the charity that is so
eloquently set forth in the 18th
chapter of First Corinthians: She
always saw something good in
everyone, and was willing to at
tribute the best possible motives to
peoples deeds if they were not OBJ
viously criminal or wicked, and she
managed TO think we'll and say
something good of nearly every
one she knew, and to make excuses
tor peoples weaknesses and short
comings. The influence of her
bright and cheerful disposition was
felt by every one who came in con-.
tact with her. But it will be felt
no more. Her bright smile and
cheering word are lost to the world.
Up to about three weeks ago Mrs.
Davis was apparently in good
health. At this time she began to
complain OF not being well. twas
soon seen by her friends and neigh
bors that she was RAPIDLY failing
in health, and it was only a few
days before she could sit up just a
part Of the day. At this stage she
was prevailed upon to go to her
daughter, Mrs. John Balentine, at
Nashville. Mr.. Balentirfe came
down and packing up some apparel
and a fey other necessaries and
took Mrs. Davis back home with
him.
The remains of Mrs. Davis were
buried in Nashville, her funeral
taking place at the regular 9 o'clock
mass at st. Thomas Catholic
church Tuesday morning.

New Ulm., Mimi, April 22.-Yester-
day Frederick Forster, at the age of
eighty-siX years, died in this city, hav-
ing lived here since 1853. He was edu-
Gated in Germany, in the profession of
teaching, and adopted that upon his ar
rival in this country, being the first in
structor in the New Ulm school. Dur
ing the Indian massacre his brick house
was converted into fortress and the
places where the loop holes were made
are still marked by the patches put in
after that affair was settled. In 1862 he
was appointed postmaster, and retained
that office until 1873, after which he
resumed teaching, in which profession he
was engaged up to the time of his death

players are deserving of much credit fo
their style of PLAY and, although de

an unprecedented support from the Mil
City public during the balance of thu

of both teams did nobly and the fac
that each team was sharged up with foul
errors is in itself no disgrace. The er
rors came when players were taking
chances which few amateurs would taxi
and carry through properly. Plymat, a
third for the Mankato aggregation, gath
cred in two of his teams errors but hi
work during the balance of the contest
was far above the average.

CRIMINAL BUSINESS.
Batch of Cases 10 Come Before United
States Court Tomorrow.
from MONDAYS Dali

rIOm IAoHuHv Ddily. 81
The United States court convenes at
ten o'clock tomorrow forenoon. AS there
is plenty of business before the court it
looks as though the term might be of
some length. The case that Mankato
people are most interested in is that of
the Barber Asphalt company VS.. the
city of Mankato. This case will be hard
fought. The attorneys for the city have
been giving practically all of their spare
time to it for two or three weeks past,
and believe that they have so fortified
their position as to be invincible The
trial of the case is expected to last two
or three days.
There are several bankruptcy cases on
the calendar in which Mankato attor-
neys are employed. None of the litigants
live in Mankato OF Blue Earth county.
There is quite bunch of criminal
business before the court. Frank Mad
den has been in the Blue Earth county
Jail for several months past awaiting the
action of the grand jury. He is charg-
ed with passing ten dollar counterfeit
treasury note at Pipestone. He has made
a model prisoner, and he has made a
number of friends.
John A. Wisniewski, former postmast-
er at Ivanhoe, is charged with embez-
zling $l9S.6S from the postal funds of
the government. He is the young man
whose love affair did not prosper, thus
leading him to neglect his business, and
the handling of the mails was greatly
delayed.
Charles A. Heath of Wells is charged
with making fraudulent affidavit and
voucher for an increase of pension, which
he had been drawing under another mans
name. This other man is an old sol
der and bears the same name and is
drawing a pension of SIS month. The
Wells Heath is seventy years old Had
he been content with SIS a month, the
government might never have found out
his alleged deceit.

Peter English Meets With Several 10.
cal Business Men.
He Is Patentee of a New Process for
Making Coal Gas.
Is Now Proposed That Makato People
Invest Their Money.
Effort May be Made to Sell Machinery
to a Local Company.
From Fridays Daily.


Peter English of Lead, S. D., and Franz
English of Boulder, COL, were in the cit,
last night, and met with several of tn,
members of the Business Mems associa
ton. Peter English has perfected sever
al patents by means of which he claims
that gas can be made more cheaply thar
by other processes, and his system is
said to have been adopted at Boulder
and Lead. He is anxious that it be
adopted in Mankato, and it is understood
that j. A. Bowers plan is to use this
machinery in the plant in this city il
one is installed.
Those who attended the conference in
one of the rooms at the Saulpaugh last
night were the Messrs. English, w. E.
Young, attorney for Mr. Bower, j. B.
Richards, I. w. Hart, Hans Jorgensen
and two or three others whose names
The Free Press did not learn. Peter
English explained the merits of his ma
ciinery in detaIs~and~c the plants
at Boulder and Lead
During the conference it came out that
MIR. Bower desires that part of the
stock of the proposed company be tax
en- in Mankato, and that while the con-
trolling interest would not be held here,
the officers ard directors would be To-
cal men, as is the case with the Mankato
Gas and Electric Light company.
Peter English was in Mankato for
few hours with Mr.. Bower last week, and
ne and Mr.. Bower expect to return to the
city in few days, when it is likely that
an endeavor will be made to float the
stock. Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Eng
ish and his son visited the local plant
OF the present gas company, but refused
to give his name. He made number of
inquiries as to the manufacture of the
gas.
For some reason, those interested in
the proposed new gas company do not
seem inclined to say much for publica-
ton, and the public is kept more or
less in the dark as to what is going on.
When seen by newspaper men, the gen.
tlemen either say nothing or else say so
little that one is left in doubt as to /
what is intended.
From outside appearances, it appears
that an endeavor is to be made to or
ganize local company, and sell it ma
chinery to make gas. How much capital
will be invested that is raised in Man
kato, if any more, is not known at this
time Neither is it known whether the
machinery will cost any more than what
it is expected to raise in Mankato. The
talk last year was that all of the
money invested was to be outside capital.

M. Hammer and family were at their
home 22l Tile street, and were seated in
