CHAMBER_OF^OMMEECE.
Bonus to Manufacturew-Fort SnelUng
Bridge-Aid from Congress.
Mr. Lindeke from the special committee
on manufactures, submitted a report provid
ing that citizens form an association where
byeach member is to contribute $50 from
time to time as may be desired, the sums so
secured to be given to those establishing man
ufacturing establishments employing not
le39 than twenty hands. The association is
not to organize until ten signers have been
secured, and the amount to be given to each
establishment is to be regulated by a com
mittee of the association. The committee
was continued to perfect the plan.
SHUTTING OFF ELOQUENCE.
James Smith, Jr., offered the following
amendment to the by-laws:
'Every member who speaks shall rise and
address the President, and no member sball ^rningT Officer Clonse, whose bea led him
speak more than once on the same subject,
nor for a longer time than three minutes,
unless permitto|jttp. proceed by unanimous
consent." Wmr
The amendment went over one week un
der the rules.
FOBT SHELLING BBIDGE.
Mr. McOlung made a report from the
committee on Fort Snelling bridge, relative
to what had been done to secure aid from
Congress. He said Dr. Stewart had with
drawn the bill granting 500 acres of the
reservation, and was awaiting instructions
from our citizens. He offered the following
resolution:
Unsolved, That it is the sense of this
chamber that the United States
should aid in the construction of
a bridge at Fort Snelling to the ex
tent of $75,000, which is less than half the
amount of the maximum estimates of the
cost of an iron bridge, and that our delega
tion in congress be requested to ask such
aid in whatever form to them may seem
most desirable.
Mr. Lee suggested that the bridge com
missioners should not proceed with the work
until a sufficient amount had been secured
to complete it.
James Smith, Jr., thought it safe to leave
this in the bands of the commission, one
member of which was the laTgest taxpayer
in the city. He thought they would get up
their plans and call for bids, and he had no
doubt it could be built for the sum which
had been voted.
Gen. Sibley said it might be an interest
ing historical fact to state that the original
Huspension bridge at St. Anthony would have
been built at Fort Snelling instead of where
it was, but for the fact that Jefferson Davis,
who was then secretary of waT, refused to al
low the military reservation to be used for
such a purpose.
Mr. McClung's resolution was then adopt
ed, and the chamber adjourned.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Monthly Meeting YesterdayTable of
Mortality for March.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Health was held yesterday at the
City Hall, Dr. Mattocks in the chair.
Mr. Myerding reported eighty nuisances
abated in the past month. One dead cow,
ten dead pigs, nineteen dead cats, eleven
dead dogs were removed, and forty cess-pools
were cleaned in March. The report asked
for a man on the dumping ground to prevent
the deposit becoming a nuisance.
The board authorized a man to be em
ployed, as requested, at same pay as street
force.
The following bills were ordered to be
itemized and then paid
J. Lauton, 50c J. Kerps, 50c I. Brady.
$11.00 J. Trotter, $8.00, for removing
dopd animals.
Dr. Mattocks proposed planting cotton
wood trees round the pest house for shade.
He thought it very necessary, and it would
cost but littletwo rows would require about
100 trees, and these he thought could be ob
tained for perhaps 10 cents each, and the
man employed by the board could plant
them.
The doctor's suggestion was acted upon,
and the trees ordered advertised for in the
official paper.
Dr. Mattocks presented the table of mor
tality for March, as follows:

WORKTNGMEN'S UNION.
A Meeting Ias NightEvidently Ashamed
of wtoat They Were Doing, They Do It In
Secret.
^The Workingmen's Union, of St. Paul,
held a meeting last evening at Turner Hall.
The attendance was meagre, and, after some
delay, M. R. Prendergast called the meeting
to order, there being about thirty members
present.
The routine work was speedily disposed of,
after which Mr. T. P. Mumford called atten
tion to false reports continually spread by
newspapers and otherwise, to the effect that
St. Paul was short of hands, thus imposing
on outside working men, and bringing them
to this city to their own detriment, and that
of the working men here. He "considered
the great remedy would be to warn all such
in the columns of the prospective Working
men's newspaper, the institution of which
is contemplated.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr.
lteinbach proposed that the.meeting go into
executive session, or, in other words, that
the representatives of the press be excluded,
and this motion was adopted by the meeting,
and the star chamber was instituted.
The mystery of the further proceedings
was so far penetrated, that it was learned
that the mainsprings of the union wish to
hatch their bantling of a newspaper, shel
tered, not only from the criticism of the
outside public, but also from any criticism
which might open the eyes of those humbler
members of their association who are not
mainsprings.
KIVER MATTERS.
The water continues at a splendid boating
stage, the gauge showing three feet seven
inches.
The steamer Cheaver, of the Keokuk
Northern Line, Capt. Best, was in yesterday
morning with a large freight, after dis
charging which, she returned down river in
the evening.
The steamer Arkansas, of the same line,
is expected in this morning. The Arkansas
is bringing alarge freight.
The fine passenger packet Red Wing, Capt.
Haighfc, of the Keokuk Northern line, leftfSt.
Louis for St. Paul Saturday evening, and
will probably reach this point Wednesday
evening.
The steamer Josie,. of the Diamond Jo
line, the first boat of the line through to
this port this season, will arrive some time
to-day. The Josie is bringing a very large
freight trip, in which is included several

be one of great interest, not only to
Plymouth church, bnt to all sister churches
in St. Paul.
.JL FALL DOWN STAIRS.
Which Resulted In the Death of Bailiff
N. Allen.
N. B. Allen, one of the bailiffs of the munici
pal court died at 6:15 last evening, his death
having resulted from an accident. In his ca
pacity as bailiff, Mr. Allen was in the custom
of feeding the coal stoves of the municipal
court room each evening at about eight o'clock.
On Saturday night, he was known to proceed
on this duty, and at about the usual hour.
The coal has to be carried quite a distance from
a buildingintherearof McManus' grocery store,
about half way from Wabashaw street to Bt.
Peter. Shortly after midnight on Bunaay
-t*
pa8
led. mm
the market house, in the npper portion of
which is the municipal court room, heard
slight groans. Thinking the moaning might
arise from some of the butchers, who some
times remain in the market house over night,
the officer tried the entrance to the door there
to, but found it securely locked. Proceeding
thence to the door leading to the
municipal court room, the officer
found it a few inches ajar.
Pushing back the door, the policeman discov
ered Mr. Allen at the foot of the Btairs in a
huddled position, lying in blood, with his feet
against the door. The officer then summoned
the assistance of Mr. Allen's son. They found
two coal scuttles, filled with coal, at the head
of the stairs, and some of the coals Were scat
tered at the foot of the stairs. Mr. Allen un
doubtedly fell backwards from head to foot of
the stairs, a distance of fully 16 feet. His
right arm was broken, just above the wrist,
the base of the skull Vfras hurt, and he sus
sustained internal injuries. It was
not supposed, at first, that Mr.
Allen was seriously endangered by his
fall. He was carried up stairs and laid upon
a lounge, when he was so far conscious as to
ask for a glass of water. Thence he walked
home, about a block distant, but had to re
cieve considerable help. Dr. Boardman was
summoned, and the fracture of Mr. Allen's arm
was then discovered, as well as his more serious
injuries. From'that time until the hour of his
death above named, Mr. Allen lingered in an
unconscious condition, from which he only
partially recovered at rare intervals.
The deceased was born in the State of New
York, and was aged 61 years at the time of his
death. He came to this city from St. Louis, in
1857. in which latter city he had previously
married a sister of the late Capt. Nelson Rob
ert, who, with six children, survives him.
Since his residence here he has been deputy
sheriff, city jailor and bailiff to the. municipal
court, holding the last position at the time of
his death in all of which capacities he Berved
acceptably. The funeral will take place at 9
A. M. on "Wednesday next, from his late resi
dence, 106 St. Peter street. The police force is
making arrangements to. be present thereat in
a body, as far as duties will permit.

near the Davis mill, just below the city, he discov
ered thebody of a freshly-born mate infant floating
in the water. The corpse was taken froth the river
and the coroner at once notified, who held an in

derfully fine child. It.weighed between thirteen and
fourteen pounds, had auburn hair, was undoubtedly
living at its birth, and its skull was cracked. The
jury of Inquest returned a verdict of murder by par

the whole department.

A PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
Two Broken Legs and a General Smashing
Because Having Ears Heard Not, but
Walked on the Railroad Track.
A serious accident occurred to an old man named
George Willey, 72 years of age, yesterday afternoon
on the Bt. Paul & Duluth railroad track. Mr. M. D.
Kelly was on the track close to the Seventh street
bridge with a number of men repairing the road,
when he heard the whistle' for down brakes. He
looked up and saw a traiu just emerging from the
cut about 80 yards from the bridge, he also saw
upon the line a man walking, and although the engi
neer made every effort to stop the engine by putting
on the back motion, in a few seconds the cow catcher
struck the man and knocked him down the embank
ment. The train was stopped, and the man who
was recognised as George Willey, was picked up and
carried to his house, 36 North street, and Dr. Mur
phy sent for. A GLOBK reporter was soon in attend
ance, and found the old gentleman suffering greatly.
On examination it was found that both legs were
broken, one about an inch above the ankle, the other
in the ankle jointboth being very bad fractures.
The right leg had also suffered a deep larceration
along the outer edge of the shin, A scalp
wound an inch above the forehead and
several small scratches complted his known
injuries. Mr. Kelly says he has often warned
the old gentleman against walking on the track, and
on two occasions was well nigh running over him
with a working train. Willey is very deaf, and hence
the accident which well nigh ended his career. His
condiUodrlast night was critical, and his recovery is
doubtful.
-r Mary Anderson.
The lavish praise both of personal charms and
histrionic genius which the press has unsparingly
bestowed upon Miss Anderson wherever she has ap
peared, is undoubtedly all her just right. Her her
aldedfame brought her a large house laBt evening
there was.scarcely standing room down stairsand
no doubt to night she will play to still larger busi
ness, for there is not one who saw and heard her but
will indorse every word that has been saidin her com
mendation.
To say that Miss Anderson is classically beautiful,
Is only saying what is half true, for the great charm
of herfinelychiselled mobile features is the rapidly
changing expression which like cloud and sunshine
flits fitfully across them.
She is tall and of commanding "presence with a
figure lithe and graceful, but not angular. Her
head is finely formed and beautifully poised upon a
neck worthy the chisel of a Powers.
AsEvadne it Is doubtful if Miss Anderson was
seen at her best, but Evadne in her hands is greater
than Shiel madeher. There were scenes inwhich the
audience caught a glimpse of the immense power
which this artist possesses, and her wonderful capa
bilities,
Xn the scene where Evadne discovers the king's
likeness in place of that of Collona's, Miss Ander
son was startlingly grand. The sweet smile of con
fidence and the large brilliantly lighted up eyes as
she prepared to show her lover the preciously prized
miniature, followed with a bewildered gaze of stupi
ficaubn gradually awakening into a wild horrible
fierce glare of terror in which every feature boreits
part, the arched neck and curved back and out
stretched hand all formed a picture as complete
and.as intense in coloring as was ever seen upon the
stage. Many similar scenes flashed through the
performance, but space will not admit
of their notice. Of course, Miss Anderson
has much to learn yet, especially in stage
businessoften she took indescribable positions and
placed herself to great disadvantage. But she has
every requisite for an artist of theveryhighest order.
Her personal attractions, her lovely voice, her grand
power of expression, her immense capacity for
grasping and developing a sentiment, and what is so
very rare now-a-days, her excellent elocution, make
her what has been claimed for herthe rightful
heiress to the queen of the stage. Space will not al
low mention of the rest of the cast. Suffice it to say
that it was much better than is usually found in star
ring companies.. Kiss Anderson will appear as Pau
line in the Lady of Lyons to-night.

CHURCH MUSIC.
Mr. Markoc's lecture at the Academia Last
Night.
At the Academia last evening Mr. Markoe, the
talented secretary of-the Bt. Bev. Bishop Ireland, de
livered a most instructive and exhaustive lecture on
the subject of church music.
There was a large and attentive audience, the
Bishop and several other clergy being present.
Mr.Markoe commenced his lecture by pointing out
the high place music holds among the arts, and
alluded to it as being the only one mentioned among
the joys of Heaven. He spoke of its mastery over
both the better and grosser paBsicns of men, and
how its influence even affects the brute creation it
self.
He then went on to show how it was peculiarly
adapted to the worship of the Creator. We And it
ueed in devotional exercises throughout all ages
and nations, and indeed the colleges of the ancient
prophets were so many schools of sacred music. The
use of music in church exercises is both commanded
by God in the Psalms, and sanctioned by our Divine
Saviour.
The lecturer next discussed the quality and at
tributes of church music, calling attention to the ini
tial compositions of the early fathers, the founders
of chnrch music. He showed how abuses and ex
cesses crept into even the most sublime chants and
most sacred harmonies, but claimed that the abuses
of the middle ages were nothing compared to th*
degradation of church music at the present day, and
that not locally but universally.
He spoke of the want of spirituality, which was
the besetting sin of the choirs of the present day,
and compared the church with respect to the charac
ter of its. music, and in many instances of the hear
ers, to theoper or music hall.
Then comes the question, "What is thereal and ap
proved music of the church?" and the answer is,
"The properly so-called Gregorian chant." Under
this head Mr. Markoe dwelt at length upon the great
beauties of the chant, and deprecated the opinion of
those who look upon it as "stale, flat, or insipid."
IKconclusion, the lecturer discussed the question
as to whether the plain Gregorian chant is
alone admissible in church music, and this question
he answers in the negative, urging that surely a
church thajjfclls the breautiful from all other arts,
cannot fordid figured music or, whilst admitting
melody, exclude harmony.

Publisher St. Peter Tribune:
As there has been some considerable local
blowing that the Hastings & Dakota railroad
was to make* Granite Falls a point to the ex
clusion of Minnesota Falls, I send you for
publication a copy of the Hon. Selah Cham

of the road in question. Yours truly, I

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 18th, 1878.
Hon. Horace Austin, Washington, D. C.
DEAB SIB: Your favor of the 15th is at
hand, and contents carefully considered. I
take great pleasure in saying that there will
be no discrimination against either Minne
sota Falls or Granite Falls. The railroad
will be constructed with a view to accommo
date as fully as possible every point through
which it passes. The grade is such that
our engineer reports it as impracticable to
pass through either of the towns above
named.
It is our purpose therefore to locate a sta
tion between the two points equally distant
from each, giving to neither any advantage
over the other. Were the road to run
through Granite Falls it would also pass
through Minnesota Falls, and each place
would have a station.
I believe I have thus answered your in
quiries fully, and you have liberty to make
such use of this letter as you may deem ad
visable. Meanwhile I remain very respect
fully, S. CHAMBEBLAIN.
Trespass OH Government Lands.
[Fergus Falls Journal.]
Mr. Andrew I. Shaw, a government detec
tive, has just been looking over the North
ern Pacific line, and visited the Fergus Falls
land office this week. He says that from
Brainerd to New York Mills there are a great
many thousand ties lying in the woods,
which have^been cut on government land,
and which the absence of snow
in the past winter rendered it impos
sible for those who cut them to haul away.
Mr. Shaw said be was going to work hauling'
the ties to the railroad, and in that event
the claimants may put in an appearance.
We fear the poor men along the line have
lost their winter's work. Mr. Shaw said the
people of Aldrich suspected his mission, and
would not keep him over night, compelling
him to hoof it to Wadena.
