"The Danger Signal." next week's attrac-tion a!, the Grand, is of the sensations seusa-tioual. It draws upon railroad liie for itsrealigns, which are found in the locomotive?ud fast express train, the suow plow an<lthe departure of the night freight. It is byUeury C. De Mille, who, of late years, hasbeen most prolificin the number of his dra-matic successes, the latest of which ia "TheLost I'arndi>e."
The case of Beyerstedt vs. The WinonaMillCompany is one to enforce the fulfill-ment ot a contract. Beyerstedt had entereda coutract to transport the sawdust ana shav-ings from two lumber mills to the WinonaFlouring Millcompany for the season. Thelatter company's mill was destroyed by fire,after which the company refused to acceptthe deliveries. Beyerstedt sued on the cou-
tract and is victorious.
The IronCliffMiningcompany is evidentlyone of the most sanguine of the newly or-ganized concerns thm are preparing to de-velop the Mesaba range. At a meeting heldat the Merchants' it was deckled not to sellany slock except a few shares of treasurystock for tbe purpose of meeting current ex-penses. Senator Keller lias gone to Duluth,while otherH members of the company willgotoday, to take personal charge of the work attbe mine.
Augustus Thomas' masterly creation at theMetropolitan Opera house is the nearest ap-proach to an American drama now beforethe American people. Itis a play abound-ingin sentiment and situation of surpassingFkill inportrayal, and is the greatest dram-atic surprise of the year. "Alabama" de-serves wellof St. Paulites and it is certainthat oelore the week is out they will rally toItssupport in a manner commensurate withItssurp?SKing excellence. No better produc-tion or company lias ever been seen in St.Paul.
The theater-going people willhave an op-portunity to welcome back two old favorites,Luke Martin and Sally Williams, who willappear here next week in the great Americandrama, '-The Power of the Press." This playis one of the greatest successes produced ivHew \ork for yeara. Mr. Pitou has takengreat care in selecting this company. Theeceuic effects iv this play, of which there arethirteen, are .said to be something marvel-ous, representing many places in and nearNeve York, which will no doubt be recog-nized by those familiar withthat city.

FINE FOR FARWELI.The Chicago Millionaire Beats
Out ina Valuable Mining-Deal.
He Is Decided in It by theCourts to the Tune of
$40,000.
General SorrowjOver the Sud-den Death of William
Lindeke.
Tributes Pour in FromFriends ? The Dead Man
Made No Will.
John V- Farvvell, the merchant princeof Chicago, is ivon a Northern Minne-sota mining deal, according to a decisionhanded down by the supreme court, re-versing the judgment of the trial courtand giving the merchant prince whatlie demands, yesterday. The case isFarweli against Bale et al., the com-mencement of which was to foreclose amortgage upon real property. Bale isa mining expert or explorer, residing inDuluth. On June 23, 18S7, the two en-tered into a contract in writingin re-spect tothe formation of a mining cor-poration by Farweli, of which Bale wasto be the manager and the owner ofthree-eighths of the capital stock, Far-well to hold the balance. A lease ofcertain mining property then heldby Bale was to be assigned to thecorporation as soon as organized, Baleexpressly guaranteeing to Farweli andthe corporation that the ore taken fromthe leased premises would be of a cer-tain per cent metallic ore and market-able as Bessemer ore. Farweli agreed
to pay to Bale $10,000 incash and $15,000from the fust slock sold, and also guar-anteed that the corporation would bocompletely organized withinsix months.It was also stipulated that if the oretaken from the mine should not be ofthe per cent mentioned, or should not bemarketable as Bessemer, or if the pro-visions of the contract should not becarried out for any reason, then theamount paid Bale by Farweli, $10,000,should be considered a loan to Bale,payable on demand, with interest at 6per cent. Farweli paid over to Bale$15,000. a part of which was used in at-tempting to develop a mine on theleased premises. The attempt proved afailure, and no stock was sold, Farweliadvancing $5,000 of. his own funds, ofthe 515,000 he was to obtain by a sale ofstock. The enterprise drifted aiong
until June 12, 1888, when Bale and Far-well entered into a new contract, nearlytlic same as the old, except that Balewas to givehis note for 825,000, payablesix mouths from date, and give a innrt-guge upon one-half of the property tosecure the mortgage. Bale failed tomeet his note, and Farweli sued to fore-close. Bale contested and won in thelower court, but the judgment of thatcourt is reversed by the supreme. Thesyllatnis:
John V. Farweli. appellant, vs. JamesBale et al., respondents. Judgment re-versed. Coli.ims, J.
The evidence in this action, whichwas brought to foreclose a real estatemortgage, examined and considered.Held, to have been insufficient to sup-port the findings of fact on which judg-ment was ordered for defendant mort-gagor.

FOR LAWYERS' USE.
Points in Parol Testimony in aSupreme Court Decision.
Charles H.Beyerstedt, resnoudent, vs. Wi-noua MillCompany, appellant, Order af-tirined. Collins. J.First? The rule as to the inadniissibil-
ityof parol contemporaneous evidenceto contradict or vary the terms of awritten instrument or extract has noapplication when the alleged agree-ment is incomplete and imperfect, inthat upon its face itdoes not purportto contain the whole agreement, orwhere, because lacking in some of theessentials of a contract, it falls short ofbeing one.
Second? The parties hereunto signeda writine bearine date March 20, 18i?0,as follows: "It is hereby agreed be-tween the Winona Mill company andCharles Beyerstedt that the latter is toreceive for hauling, during the seasonof IS9O, 25 cents per load tor sawdustand shavings from the Empire Lumbercompany's mill,and 30 cents per loadfor sawdust, and 40 cents per load indouble boxes for shavings from WinonaLumber company's mill,all deliveredat our mill? all loads to be full boxes,
and size of boxes same as old contract."Held, that oral testimony was admis-
sible for the purpose of showing aparol contemporaneous contract be-tween the parties in relation to the sub-ject matter referred tp in the writingand its terms and conditions. Heldfurther, assuming the parol contract tohave been for the sale of goods andchattels for the price of more than $50,void under the statute of frauds unlessthe buyer accepted and received a partof such goods and chattels that fromthe evidence it appeared that the de-fendant buyer had accepted and re-ceived a part thereof.
LiEFT NO WILL.
Funeral and Estate of Williamliindeke? Tribute ofFriends.
The death of William Liudeke, an-nounced yesterday morning, created asensation about the city. With the ex-ception of his relatives and a few closebusiness friends, few knew of his ill-ness, and his death seemed like a totallyunexpected call. Many expressions ofsympathy were sent the family duringyesterday, while in commercial andmercantile circles regrets were voicedinevery direction. Arrangements forthe funeral have not yet been com-pleted, but the obsequies will probablybe held on Saturday, by which timehis son, William Liudeke, willhave returned from Notre Dame, Ind.Itwas announced yesterday that Mr.
Lindeke died intestate. It was his in-tention to make a will,but as he vvas ivlair health it was postDoned until toolate. The expression is general that hedied a very wealthy man, and perhapssix figures would not be too great toexpress the total. That he was a mill-ionaire is the universal belief, as hisholdings and investments extended intomany branches of business andincluded considerable valuable realestate. Inthe flouring mill,the dry goodsjobbing, German-American and otherbank stocks, trust company and the newharvester works he had invested largely,and his realty holdings included gilt-edge property on Sibley. Seventh, Jack-son and Brook streets. Amillion dollarswillprobably be found not to exceed his
itotal wealth. This will be divided bylaw among his wife and four children,who are as follows: Mrs. Rose L, wifeof G. T. Schurmeier; Mrs. Emma L.,wife of Theodore A.Schulz; Frank W.Lindeke and William Lindeke Jr.
The directors ot the German-Ameri-can bank yesterday adopted the follow-ing resolutions, signed by JosephLockey, president, and J. W. Krapfel,cashier.
Whereas, The members of the board =ofdirectors of the National German-Americanbank have learned with deep sorrow of thedeath of their lifelong associate and friend,William Lindete, vice president: .
Resolved, That bis death has terminated alife ofextraordinary usefulness ana value tohis immediate' lamily.and friends, to thecityof St. Paul, as well as toall of his fellow-men. He received :from nature gifts of un-speakable value, sound and unerring busi-ness

all with whom lie caiue in contncl, 1aud of all classes of society, atthe same time possessing bound-less benevolence and charity.for all men. Hythe constant, persistent and proper use ofnil those nntural gifts he advanced by regu-lar gradations from the ordinary level of allmen at birth tillat his death he stood in thefront rank of the most prosperous and suc-cessful of manufacturers, merchants andbankers, and. Nt the same time, was a leaderof that smaller, aud to the publicmore valu-able class, whose members, without seekingplace, orhonors, or emoluments, think mostand do most for the public prosperity andwelfare, liis course of life, from the begin-ningto the end. has been like the path of thejust, "A rising lightshining more and moreunto the 'perfect day.'
"J{esolved. That through the portals of the

(Jen. 11. W. Johnson writes the fol-lowing tribute to the memory of hisdead friend :Itis not as a mere matter of form that
1 write of the late William Lindeke.whose sudden demise has surprised andgrieved all who were fortunate enoughto possess his acquaintance. Someyears since. Dr. David Day, WilliamLiiideke and the writer hereof were ap-pointed commissioners for the distribu-tion of seed wheat tothe grasshoppersufferers of our state. This duty weperformed for two successive years. Inorder to eet the wheat in the hands ofthe farmers in time for seeding, itwasnecessary for us to start on thetour of the state early inMarch. On oneoccasion Mr.Lindeke and myself madethe tripalone. We proceeded toNew Ulmby rail, where he hired a team and pro-ceeded to Redwood Falls. There wepurchased some wheat and made thenecessary distribution. The weatherwas intensely cold, and on a blusteringmorning we launched outon the prairie,destined for the town of Marshall. Ourconveyance was an open wagon. Thewind blew with frightful velocity, andour sufferings were intense. Atlast,seeing a small shanty ivfront of us, weresolved to go in and get warm. Onentering the rude dwelling we found anaged couple without tire, both sufferingfrom rheumatism, and who, to avoidfreezing, wore in bed, covered up withall the bedding they owned. On hear-ing the condition of things the nobleheart of Mr. Lindeke prompted him todo something for their comfort. Goingout, he found some hay, which hetwisted, and with it started a rousinglire in the stove, soon warming up thelittle shanty, He inquired about thesupply of provisions on hand, andlearned that they had none in theworld. We had learned to carry withus a large lunch basket well rilled forour use incase of emergencies. Turn-ing to me, he said, "General, let usleave our entire basket with thesepeople and trust in Providence for anysupplies we may need." The basketwas left, and when we bade the oldpair good bye, he slipped into the oldman's hand some money, Iknow nothow much, for he never spoke of itto me.
At stopping places we were oftencompelled to occupy the same bed, andbeing thus thrown together so intimately, Ilearned much of his historyand the more 1saw of his noble char-acter the more Iloved him.
William Lindeke was a pure man anda Christian gentleman, a loving husband and a devoted father. He wasliberal in his distributions to the poorand needy. He was a public spiritedman, and all measures calculated topromote the best interests of our citymet with his earnest advocacy andfinancial support. He was a good citi-zen, and always found on the side ofevery measure calculated to promotethe best interests of all of our people.Itisno idle compliment to his memory
when Isay that he will be greatlymissed by this community. A valuedcitizen has passed away, and all recog-nize that fact and sympathize with themembers of his bereaved family in theirirreparable loss.
INHER HUSBAND'S ARMS.
Mrs. Fahrenholz Returns and IsForgiven.
The bright halo of happiness whichsurrounded Mrs. Ausc. Fahrenholz andher erstwhile lover, Fritz Webber, wasrudely shattered when the latter fellinto the waiting arms of Sheriff Bean atEau Claire Wednesday. Fritz wastaken from her and the faithless wife,fnulinir herself alone withher child inastrange city and obliged to face sternreality, decided to return like the prod-igal son and on bended knees beseechher outraged hubby to forgive and for-get and take her once more to theirhousehold of which she took Frenchleave in company with the guilty Fritzon March 3. bo she boarded a train inthe Wisconsin town and alighted at theunion depot late yesterday afternoon.Her husband had expected as much,and was there to receive her withopenarms. They took a hack, and, afterdriving to the sheriff's office, where thehappy man made known the joy thatagain was his, they went to their homeon the West side. Thus ends the taleof the sensational elopement, and all iswell with every one but Fritz Webber,the hero of the story, who is in jailsighing for 81,500, the amount of bailtnat is asked for his appearance beforethe grand jury to answer to the chargeof embezzlement.

HIS OWN SCAVENGER.That Is What Each Man Is, as
the Azotine Drops ItsHands.
President Donnelly TellsAbout and Calls ItHard
Lines.
A Message Fro m Rome toBless the Catholic Soci-
ety of Truth.
Sudden Death During theBlizzard Caused by Heart
Failure.
The Azotine company practically sus-pended business yesterday, orders hav-ing been given to the men with teamsto cease work. Referring: to the matter,J. G. Donnelly, the president of thecompany, said:
"Yes; the teams have been called off,and the people willnow have an oppor-tunity to dispose of the garbage as theymay see fit. Itis a hard blow to thepoor laborers, who have not been ableto get their pay owing: to the action ofthe city's officers. We have the comp-troller's estimates of allowance, but thebanks refuse to cash the same so lons asthere is a question of legality to be de-cided. There seems to have beeua popular impression abroad thatthe company was amassing greatwealth, but 1 want to statefor the benefit of all concernedthat even with the allowance of thoseclaims under dispute every person inthe company has lost whatever he putinto the concern. The city attorneygave it as his opinion time and againthat our claims could only be forfeitedinthe event of the delivery of the gar-baee at our site and our refusal or ina-bilityto take care of the same. Tues-day evening he changed his mind, andsaid we were not entitled to anythingunder any circumstances. How he canreconcile these differeut opinions Iamat a loss to understand. From the veryoutset we have been pursued by enemiesrelentless and spiteful. When we hadour plant, and consumed the garbageBtrictly according to the Merz system,the people kicked; when those samepeople burned down our plant theywould not allow us to rebuild, but theyinsisted that we destroy the garbage bythe Merz system. Consistent till thethe end. Finally, when we had got asite and started to build, the city attor-ney decides that ww have violated ourcontract, and we are not entitled to acent. The position of the people in thismatter is just as absurd as ifin theevant of the burning clown of theGlobe the subscribers would refuse topay for their paper for the reason thatthe printing was not being done on theGlobe press, but by a press of theNews or Dispatch. Of course, when \u25a0-
our plant burned down, destruction ofgarbage according to the Merz systemceased as a matter of fact until anotherplant was built. Meanwhile we coulddo nothing but dispose of the garbageas best we could."

\u25a0 New York. March 10.? An eveningpaper says: It was definitely learnedtoday that binding agreements havebeen entered into between nearly allthe Anthracite carrying and producing:companies for the purpose of maintain- j:ing ,rates and restricting production.This is the same agreement that hasbeen already signed by the Ontario &Western, Erie, and Delaware & Hud-son companies within a few days, andall' the other interests have joined in it
?at previous dates. Itcannot be learuedjwhat arrangements have been made to|form a board of control, the agreementbeing a confidential one; but it is'thought that the power to fix rates andproduction will be given to such aboard, which willhave arbitrary con-trol. The relations of the companies to:the Pennsylvania road are not yetknown.
