The grand jury of Hennepin county is
not ready to quit its job so near the gen
eral election, when a mayor is to be Sc

the alleged wine rooms in the city, and
they were questioned at considerable
length. Then some of the newspaper men
were called and asked what they know
about conditions. If little evidence was
forthcoming they were asked to give their
views of how the affairs of a city should
be administered.
The inquisitors seemed to be fearful
that a campaign fund of $4,000 had been
collected by the adherents of the present
administration, but SO far as is known
been able to Connect with it.
Some weeks ago it was stated on the
streets by Republican workers that an eff

the purpose of causing some lukewarm
Republicans who We're not enthusiastic

CHARGES FAILURE
TO COAL CARRIERS
independent Mine Owner Says
Discrimination Cost His
Company $500, 900

NEW YORK. Oct. 25-John C. Had
dock, an independent coal mine owner and
operator, testified today before the inter
state commerce commission in the case
Of Hearst against the coal carrying rail-
roads, said as a result of tariff discrimi-
nation his company suffered loss of more
than $500, 900 in less than eight years.
This loss meant the difference between
solyency and insolvency and his company,
which at one time had a reputation of
high standing which he jealousy guarded.
as a result of the alleged discrimination
is now in the hands of trustees.
Mr. Haddock said that he had persist
emily complained to the management of
the Lackawanna company and had been
met by the proposition that he turn his
properties over to the railroad. This he
had declined to do. In the end there was
a compromise by which he received $780,
600 from the Lackawanna company in set
tlement of his claim for $780, 600.
Mr.. Haddock also said that the Lacka-
wanna company would not furnish a sui
ficient number OF cars to market the out
put of his mines during the anthracite
coal strike; and that they caused to be
removed spur tracks into the yards of
dealers in Norwich and Cortland, N. Y,
who purchased coal from his company.
When Mr.. Haddock had completed his
testimony counsel announced that the
complaint would rest his case. The case
of the coal carrying companies will be
begun tomorrow.

NEW YORK. Oct 25.-Cornelius Van

suddenly this afternoon of heart failure,
following a sharp attack of acute nervous
indigestion. Mr. Van Colt had been
vigorous man, but of late he had been
subjected to an EuASual amount OF trouble
and this is Be1iSte& to have undermined
his health. He Assisted in the establish
ment of commercial agency and signed
notes to large amount: The concern
failed and Mr.. Var Colt was called upon
to pay over $23. 600. which took practically
the savings of s|ai7 lifetime. About this
time an Investigation Of the New York

probity of the postmaster was not I'M

much over the affair. The recent arrest OF
his son, Richard Van Colt, charged with
colonizing, was a severe blow to the post
master, who expressed his firm belief IN
his sons innocence. These troubles
coupled with Advancing age-he was In

DISCREDIT SALE OF
THE GREAT WESTERN
Both Parties to Deal Say There Is Moth
ina True in Story

The alleged sale of the Chicago Great
Western to the Union Pacific rumored
about town yesterday afternoon is dis,
credited by both parties to the supposed
deal President Stickney, of the Great
Western, says there is not a word of fact
in the report and the officers Of the Union
Pacific also declare the story to be of
the pipe order.
Much comment was caused by the
statement that Great Western stock was
booming at the same time as that of the
Union Pacific but the fact is somewhat
discounted when it is to be seen that the
whole stock list in New York, particularly
the granger, railroads, Milwaukee, North :,
Western and Burlington have also boom
ed materially.
Well informed railroad men say that
if a deal was on, it must have fallen
through as Great Western common was
five full points lower yesterday than the
day before.
