Senate Select Committee on Ransom Allen, Boar, Quay, Warren A shipload of immigrants from Bremen landed at Baltimore the other day most of whom are on their way to Kansas. They come pretty well fixed. No person had less than $5, and he was poor, indeed. One family had $5,500, another $4,200; half a dozen had at least $1,000 each, a dozen $500 each; another man had a check for 22,000 marks, equal to $5,500 in cash, and his son had $2,000 in American money; another, with a desire to become a farmer or a cattle king in the boundless west, had $2,000 to back up his desire. Such immigrants are desirable additions to our population. Dr Sherman 212 - Lake Avenue 24 Rochester -- N.Y. Nancy Howe Clark care Irving Griggs No - 1 - Gramercy Park New York city Ex. Gov.

Mr. Francis Minor, whose sudden death surprised and grieved his friends in St. Louis, had in this city and elsewhere the friendship of all who knew his amiable character and the many strong qualities of intellect concealed ordinarily by his characteristic reserve. Mr. Minor was born in Orange County, Virginia, of colonial stock, and was educated at Princeton College and the University of Virginia, graduating as a bachelor of arts from the former institution in 1841, and from the latter as a bachelor of laws in 1843. He was entitled to higher degrees afterward from Princeton, but he never cared for them and never claimed them. His residence in St. Louis dates from 1846 and his practice at the St. Louis bar from November of that year. He was an able lawyer, and he pursued his practice successfully until 1878, when he retired on account of the failure of his hearing. Since then his time was largely devoted to study and to writing. With his wife, Mrs. L. Virginia Minor, his cousin, who was of his family name before their marriage, he sympathized deeply in her work for woman suffrage, and when, in 1875, to make a test case, she demanded the right of suffrage in St. Louis, he brought the now celebrated case of Minor vs. Happersett [21 Wallace]. From the Supreme Court of the State he took the case to the Federal Supreme Court, where it was decided adversely, not, as many suppose, on the ground of sex, but because the court held that the right to decide such questions of citizenship originated with the States and was part of their unsurrendered powers. Mr. Minor lived, however, to see the court reverse itself on this point in the Yarbrough case, and he referred to that fact with some satisfaction in an article in the Arena which appeared shortly before his death. The Clerkship of the Supreme Court of the State was the only political office he ever held or sought. He was by disposition a student and thinker, and by virtue of this disposition he became a man of extensive attainment in many directions. His funeral will take place on Monday from his late residence.

Swift, Supt. of Telegraph Leavenworth II 189 To: Susan B Anthony Co Pullman RD My watch was down and missed your train I feel chagrined. Hope you will have pleasant trip come again soon. Yr Anthony He was found, on that morning, dead in his bed, with a revolver lying by his side, with one chamber emptied. The bullet had evidently crashed through his brain, producing instant death. At the supposed time of the rash act --4 o'clock in the morning--the wind was blowing a fierce gale through the trees that surrounded the house, and the rain was falling with a roaring noise, which prevented the report of the revolver from awaking the entire family. Only his sister had a faint and sleepy recollection of hearing the report, and she did not realize that it was in the house, but thinks it was about 4 o'clock in the morning. She was soon wrapped in slumber again. In the morning one of the family--his brother, we are told--went to his room to awaken him, when the shocking tragedy was disclosed. No person can have an adequate conception of the paralyzing effect it had on the family. Intelligence of the awful reality spread through the village like a roaring tempest; friends and neighbors flocked to the afflicted family, proffering their sincere sympathy and aid. After mature deliberation of county attorney, physicians and friends, an inquest was deemed unnecessary, and none was had. HORACE ANTHONY was born near Sterling, Ill., January 23rd, 1860, and consequently at the time of his death, was 32 years, 2 months and 8 days old. He came to Kasson with his parents in 1869, and this village was his home the remainder of his life. He was a young man of liberal education and rare accomplishments. Honest, conscientious, of acute sensibilities, and rather retiring in his nature, he always strove to do his duty. He could brook no dishonor; was friendly to all, and in turn was respected and loved by all. He suffered terribly at times with the asthma, which was inherited, and probably owing to his misfortune he became dispondent; was goaded by his sufferings until his sensitive brain went wild, and with his own hands, he loosened the silver cord of life and drifted across the stream of time into eternity. Who but God knows the awful agony that stung the anguished mind, for months ere hope for earthly happiness was gone and reason was dethroned? Those who knew him best, speak of him only loving words, as a true and generous man. Neither in business transactions nor in private life his name bore a stain; let bear none now he is gone. He belonged to the Masonic order and at the time of his death he held the office of Senior Warden, in Huram A'Bi Lodge at Kasson. The funeral was held at the late residence on Sunday the 3rd inst., at 2 o'clock, Rev. J. Hanna officiating at the house; the Masonic fraternity then taking charge, and with the unction of melodious tears, surrounded by a large concourse of sympathetic friends, with their hopeful, beautiful and appropriate burial service, consigned the mortal remains to the tomb.
