Vance, filed to-day, in the supreme court in quo war ranto, a petition and charges against Jos. Wilson, mayor of Topeka. The action is based upon seven charges presented by the court in detail, praying the court to declare the mayor to have forfeited his office and to be formally disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit here after in the state. The action arises out of the refusal of the mayor to obey the provisions of the prohibition law, and the case is important as testing the remedies of the people against public officers who refuse to do their sworn duty. The Pence Union. New Yobk, June 1. — At a meeting of I;he Universal Peace union, Sarah J.

REAL ESTATE. THE MARKET XOT AS ACTIVE AS CSUAL,JiUT J'UICVS FIHM. Continued ConSi.leuce In the Permanence of >tlie Present Boom— Oesirable Locu tion* Held at Goo<i Kates— Tho Site of tho >'ow Hotel— Specimen Sales of Itasl nt»»s Froyerty— The Transfers of the Week. Whila during the past week the real estate market cannot be said to have been dull it has been rather quiet, and that quiet seems to have beon an unnatur al one. With the general favorable condi tions of general business throughout the northwest, the appearance of the crops, and the abundance of money that 13 known to be in St. Panl ready for invest ment there »to ibe no natural why the reason why tho real estate market here should not be in an active condition. The position of matters in this respect is not at all in accordance with the natural laws of trade. There is money enough ready for investment, there is property enough to ,see, prices i though very firm are not regarded as too high, and yet sales are not as numerous as they ought to be. Only one large trans- action is recorded for the week, and that is the sale of what 13 known as the Bidwell property on ths corner of Ninth and Jack son streets. This property consists of 150 feet on Jackson street by 210 on Ninth street for. $47,000. Aside from tlm sale the transfers have been confined to much smaller figures. S. Lee Davis sold a lot for $14,000, to Chas. E. Dickerman, loca ted on the corner of Minnesota and Sixth streets with a front on Minnesota street of fifty feet and a depth of 100 feet. Upon this lot it is un derstood £he purchaser will erect a busi ness block. Eighty-nine lots in Terry's addition were sold in the early part of the week for $19,250. This was an auction sale and was well attended. Theodore H. Miller sold his homestead on Farrington avenue, and lot 3, block 15, Rice & Irvine's addition, the latter beiug a fractional lot on Third near the Seven corners, for $15, -000. John Warm sold to Uri L. Lamprey for $12,000 two lots on Bluff street, adjoin ing William Davidson's residence. Henry R. Beard conveyed to C. H. Maxey part of block 1 and 2, Pacific addition for $23,200. This property is out near elevator A. The?e are about all the largest sales for the week, and do not make a very big showing. The general impiession is both among real estate dealers as well as among real estate purchasers that a good many are holding back to find out where the new hotel is to be located. A most persistent effort is being made to learn where the favored spot is to be, and there are men in town who would pay many thousand dollars in gold to be informed. This choice and much coveted piece of informa tion has not yet been obtained by any outsiders though the persons supposed to be mostly in Mr. Ryan's con fidence have been most persistently be sieged by the anxious ones. Many think there is a "pointer" in the purchase of the Bidwell property by Mr. Langevin, and turn their anxious eyes to the well known property on the northeast corner of Eighth and Jackson, known as theOakes property, and the Constans square, corner of Tenth and Jackson streets. It is not known whether Mr, Langevin was acting on some definite point or not, but the feeling is so general that the hotel will be in that re gion that the public are inclined to accept it as settled. The following plats were duly examined and approved by the plat commission at their session yesterday: Snelling park, owned by Clarence E. Finch and C. M. Dittman and wife, embraced within a par cel of land containing 12.45 acres in section 34, town 29, range 23. Jilson'. subdivision of lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Guerin's out lots to St. Paul. Greve's subdivision "B" comprising "lot 12,Hoaies of the Homele33." J. N. Rogers' second addition which is located at the north line of section 14, town 28, range 23. Mr. G. W. Gray purchased yestercl j the beautiful site corner of University and Virginia avenues for tha cum of $ 2,000. BUSINESS BLOCKS.

The joint local committee of citizens of St. Paul and Minneapolis held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the chamber of commerce rooms for the purpose of ar ranging a programme and making prepar tions for the coming convention, which is expected to be by far tho best attended and most important meeting ever held by the society. Tho members and their famiies are to come from Chicago by the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul railway in a special train, leaving Chicago Monday morning June 18 and arriving in St. Paul early same evening. The members of the local committee will go down as far as Red Wing or Winona to meet the special, and the whole party will go directly out to HotelgLafayette at Lake Minuetonka, where ample accommodation has been se cured for the week of the convention. The business meetings of the conven tion are to be held at the capito! in St. Paul on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. each day. The rep] er.:ative3 hall with adjacent com- Uit -o rooms have been tendered by the governor for these meetings. By the courtesy of the St . Paul, Minne apolis it Manitoba railway, special trans portation from Hotel Lafayette to and from St. Paul will be provided for the members each day during the week. In the afternoon of these three days there will be opportunity for such in formal hospitality as may be oifereJ by citizens of St. Paul or Minneapolis to the members, and it is expected that their time will be pretty fully occupied in ex ploring the rival jittractions of tho two cities. An excursion from St. Paul up the river to Fcrt Snelling and Minnehaha is a probability for Thursday afternoon, and will doubtless prove a most enjoyable af fair. Meantime the evenings at the lake are not to be overlooked. Hon. W. D. Wasb burn has tendered the splendid ?teamer "(Jity of St. Louis" for one of those mem orable moonlight excursions around the lake for Wednesday eveniug, tho 20th, all tho members and their families to bo the guests of the occasion. On Friday, the 22d, the convention are to meet at the Grand Opera hon^e in Min neapolis, where the president's address will be delivered, and for that day the members are to be the guest.-; of that city and will have opportunity to look over the various industries and to criticize the im portant engineering works completed and in progress there. On Friday evening the society is to be entertained at the Hotel Lafayette by the citizens of the two cities jointly. A ban quet is to be spread on that occasion that shall call out all the resources of even that great hotel and its experienced manager and fill the immense dining room to its utmost capacity . On Saturday and the succeeding days the members will avail themselves of the courtesies of the railroads to enable them to visit the empire lying beyond us, and will find their way home at their leisure and convenience, bearing with them, it is hoped, only pleasant memories of their fif teenth annual convention. The arrangements for the week are in the hands of the following gentlemen, who will be assisted, a3 the time approaches, by other citizens of both cities: St. Paul. Minneapolis. J. W. Bishop, W. S. King, D. C. Shepard, C. F. Hatch, Wm. Crooks, C. H. Prior, D. W. Ingersoll, G. A. Brackett, L. W. Rundlett, W. D. Washbum, Howard Elmer, R. B. Langdon, W. A. Van Slyke, A. C. Rand, J. B. Hoxsie, C A.

Some time ago Mayor Rice had the rec ords of the "Mexican Veteran War associa tion of Minnesota" placed in his hands for safe keeping but as he ha 3 no suitable place in which to keep them he concluded to turn them over to J. Fletcher Williams secretary of the Historical sooiety. He therefore addressed to him the following note and the records will accordingly go to the Historical society rooms* St Paul, June 2, 1883.— J. Fletcher Wil liams, Esq., Secretary of the Historical So ietv.—My Dear Sir: Referring to our conversation yesterday, I hand yon herewith the journal kept by Dr. Clarence De Montreville as secretary of the Mexican Veteran War association of Minnesota, which upon the death of the late lamented Gen. Willis A. Gorman was turned over to me. Not having a safe place for keeping it, I will thank you to take charge of it for preservation. Very respectfully Yours, Edmund Rice, Late First Lieut. First regimeot Mich, vol unteers, and Pres't. Mbxiean War Veter an association of Minne?ota.
