\ Stillwater Notes.
The steamer Jim Fiske took a raft of logs south
yesterday.
The steamer Silver Ware left with a raft of
logs for Muscatine .
The water it still stationary at two feet nine
inches, and likely to remain so.
J, H. Pratt has got a first class cutter in his
new meat shop, where only the best of all kinds
are kept. »
The Reamer Naima, of the Lyons Lumber Co.,
arrived mjport yesterday morning, and left with
a raft for the LoynsLumber Co., of Lyons.
There was not a single case in the municipal
ar probate (fourts yesterday, and the district
court is still at work on the case of Llbby vs.
Johnson.
The contracts have been let for the erection,
Immediately, of four cottages at Kake Elmo by
parties In St. Paul. The lumber will be shipped
next week.
W« are sorry to learn that Policeman Dan Mc-
Carthy is no lietter, but his attending physician
inform- us he is r.n-worse, and that there are
hopes of his recovery.
The appearance of the harbor yesterday morn
ing was Hke old times, so many steamers being
in port, and all after loads. In the afternoon we
had only <he same old ones left.
The roof on the second division of the state
|iri-< a is proceeding well, ami soon tho main
liiiililiii:' will have a complete iron roof. The
front part is finished and looks well.
The office of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minn cap
lis & Omaha railroad, is to he changed and reno
vnti-il, ami will be made equal to any on the line.
Me know that Mr. Ilaydou and his stall will ap
preciate) this.
Yesterday morning Oeorge Grant, who is em
ployed in Torinns' mill. Baytown, had his hand
come in contact with n saw, wh( ii it was badly
lacefated. Ue came to Dr. Wittier and had it
dressed, and will soon be all right.
The lire hall men nre making a fine cleaning
up, nml everything will look us well as paint and
pnmiee stone can make them. Too much pride
cannot be taken In having everything as brightly
furnished as they -possibly can be, und we know
thai our boys will not be left behind.
The amount or freight business- down on the
St. I'aul Ar Dulutii road at this poifat is large,
They are shipping fifteen cars of wheat daily to
Duluth, besides fifteen cars or lumber, ten of ties
and from live to ten or miscellaneous freight.
This cannot but be considered good business.
The cooks on the steamer lYnn Wright had a
fight over nn old fetid, in which both got badly
carved, and are pretty well fastened up with
Sticking plaster. We learn them have been sev
eral discharges on account of that and other mat
ters from the Perm Wright. Matt Clark will stand
no fooling.
There will be a large picnic at Lake Elmo on
fSnti rihiy of the men with their families who are
employed in the ahopa of the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba: There are fourteen
care ordered from St. Paul, three fiom Hudson
and three from Uiver Fulls. Mr. Teasdale says
there will be about 1,400 altogether should the
weat hei be favorable. On Sunday the Jews of
St : I'ani will hold a picnic, and some others are
arranged to come ofl the following days;
Company X, K. G. S. M., was not very largely
represented yesterdiiy morning when they left at
brlN). The boys went in the midst of a rabi
storm, but, perhaps the old adage, "A bad be
ginning makes a good ending." will hold in this
Case. We inapt it will. The other members of
tin compnny will join them nt Lake Calhoun,
when it is hoped that the Stillwater boys will
hold their own in proficiency of drill ud military
appearance, and that they will come home cov
ered with glory, as they certainly will with tan.
What might be said to be a fish story was re
lated yesterday, but the relator, Mr. J. M. Leer,
bridge tender, was a witness to the performance.
Ou Wednesday evening about 11 o'clock, while
leaning over the rail of the bridge, a large shovel
hade: sturgeon sprung from the water, and im-
Waj a lui.ipe eel wits thrown Home* fifteen
feet out oi tin wator and landing on the bridge.
It appears these eels fahten themselves to the
gill* of the sturgeon, und the onfy way to get
rid of them in to make a sudden vault out of the
Water, thus shaking them off. He has often seen
them thrown i-liorl distances, but nothing like
•vlial was done at, l his time. Tiie eel was about
K'ven inches long and quite lively.
J. li. Young, a man about tlfty years of age,
anil who lias been boarding at the Keystone
house for several years, attempted suicide ou
Wednesday evening hy taking a <lo te of mor
phine. For some time he has been drinking

Of City Engineer — College ayenue-r- -|
Common Couucil, St Paul:
Gentlemen. In the matter of a resolution
directing that College avenue betweeu Oak
and Tenth streets be put in passible condi
tion by the construction of a gutter or other
wise, at a cost not to .exceed $100 which was
referred to me by 'your order of Juue 3rd.
1884, for a report, 1 And the street within
the limits Wined is in a very bad condition'
.caused by the men employed in sprinkling
the streets allowing large quantities of water
to waste either from the ' hydrant or from
their sprinkling carts Into tive street.
This trouWe would be partialy remedied by
the construction of a gutter leading into the
catch-basin, at a cost of about §50. But a
more satisfactory arrangement would be tbe
constructiou of a proper' standpipe iv place
of the hydrant so ttyat watering carte' could bo
filled without this waste " of water
which is the cause of f complaint
in many other places in tbe -city,
in fact, in several places it is a serious nui
sance; for instance, the hvdrauton the south
side of tith street, near Jackson, has been the
caUse of very earnest coiuplaiut by the
property owners, and has been reported as
creatine: a, nuisance 'by, the President of the
Board of Health.
I therefore recomnierid that all hydrants
that are intended for the . use of parties
sprinkling the streets should be changed to
standpipes, so constructed as to admit of the
sprinkling carts being filled without the use
of a section of hose. Respectfully,

Gentlemen : In the mitter of tbe en

lying block 29, Stinson, Brown & Ramsey's
addition and the river, which was referred
to me by your order of July 1, 18S4, I here
with euelose a map showing the strip refer
red to.
1 find from an examination of the records, ;
that in the original plat of Stiuson, Browu
& Ramsey's addition this block 29 was not
subdivided into lots, and there was no land'
dedicated between it and the river.
In 1857, this block, with others was subdi
vided into lots and a strip marked on the
uiat 50 feet wide, lying along the river, was
dedicated as a street or leVee. Respectfully,

To the Common Council of the City of St.
Paul.
Gentlemen: The Board of Fire Commis
sioners hiive had under consideration tho
resolution of the Cify Council passed July
Ist, 1884, in relation %to the further purchase
of lire ttlarm boxes thereby deciding on
"That no new fire alarm boxes be pur-
chased." ' .
Your Board have carefully revised the pre-
sent locatiou of the City alarm boxes and
unanimously decided that it is inexpedient
to make auy change in the location of the
present boxes the snine t having all beeu
located with especial reference to the accom-
modation of the public.
The Board again affirms the necessity for
at least fifteen additional boxes as asked
for last year, and would recommend tbat
the twenty-five asked for in the resolution
of Alderman Starkey on March 24th, be
granted, and which the rapid growth of the
city demands.
In this connection your Board desire to
call tl'ie attention of the Council to the Tele-
phonc-and'City Dispatch Alarm . service as
now operated, and by which many alarms arc
sent to the Department. Tiiis service re-
(|iiires a force of three (8) young men to at
-1 tend the signal office at all hours, day aud
night. Since the Ist of May it has been op-
crated as an experiment and tbe men em-
ployed have had no pay, they hoping It
would be made permanent and that tbey
wouid be permanently employed.
Should this system of signals and calls b(^
continued, It will be necessary to em-
ploy three mcv at the rate of
$50.00 per month each to operate this ser-
vice aud as the Police Department make use
to a preat extent of the Fire Department
Phonea that a portion of this expense should
be chargeable to the police service.
If the Council deem it advisable not to
continue this system aud authorize your
Board of Fire Commissioners to employ the
number of meu as above set forth,.
then and in such case, this branch of the
service will be necessarily closed up and dis
pensed with. Respectfully submitted.
By order of the Board,

Tbe following is the report of the City En
gineer in the matter:
Aid. Gates A. Johnson, Chairman of Com-
mittee on Streets :
Dbak Sib : Following Is the list of bida
received lv answer to the advertisementcal
ling for bids for rebuilding the balance of
Wabashaw street bridge, and which were re
ferted to me for examination and report at
your meeting held on the 3d inst.
Perm Bridge C 0......... $95,867 00
Smith Bridge Co 95,348 50
Hough* Gear 9^,913 30
King Bridge Co 90,849 90
Raymond & Campbell 89,517 00
Keepers & Riddell 87,804 00
H. llorton 8H.791 00
Mo. Val. Bridge and Iron Works. 5. . . . 81,527 00
The designs offered by the Missouri Valley
Bridge Co., H. E. Horton, aud Keepers &
Riddell, -are very similar and in accordance
with the specifications.
The strain sheet furnished by the Missouri
Valley appears to have been very hurriedly
drawn, aud the strains on some of the mem
bers- copied iv correctly; otherwise we find
them to practically agree with the specifica
tions.
go far as we bave been able to examine
the sizes of the several members shown on
the plans, we tind them agreeing with the
specifications.
Prom a careful estimate of the cost of the
several parts of this work, I consider the bid
to be from $5,000 to $10,000 too high, aud
except the fact that tbe delay necessary to re
advertise would increase the cost of the work
and might prevent the construction of the
bridge this season, I should recommend that
all the bids be rejected aud the 'work re-ad-N
vertlsed s . -
If It is considered best to let the work
there should be new and cor
rected strain sheets filed for
approval, before the contract ls executed.
Respectfully,
W. A. Somers, City Engineer.
