The Second Day's Shooting Proves More Interesting. ■ An increased interest was manifested in the second day's shoot of the tournament. A large number visited the grounds with carriages, while others went via the motor line. There was some splendid marksman ship displayed. In nearly every shoot - there were so many ties that considerable time was occupied* in shooting off — more in fact than in the actual shoots.

Second money s 72 — was divided by Stice and James. Third money was divided by White and Hockey. The tie for fourth was shot off by Van Vleck, Pfister, Lawrence and Duncan, and the purse was divided between Duncan and Pnster. y THIRD EVENT. The third event was an innovation. It had been intended to shoot for the Lig owsky state badge, now held by the Red Wing Gun club, but that club neither sent a team nor the badge ito be competed for. Consequently it had to be foregone, and another shoot was arranged in lieu of it. A new metal pigeon was introduced, which was facetiously called tin soup plates by the marksmen. Its proper name is the Ma comber Metal Flying Target and it is con sidered more difficult to hit than the Peoria block bird or the usual clay pigeon. This was a sweepstakes shoot at seven of the tin targets sprung from the trap, resulting as follows: • Kimble, J.

The corner stone of the new ; Congrega ional academy at Excelsior ." was '{, success fully laid yesterday morning, with appro priate ceremonies. The attendance from Minneapolis, though large, was reduced by the threatening weather of the early part of the day, but nearly all of Excelsior • turned out to participate. The several military and civic societies* headed by the Marine band, met the Minneapolis delegation at the motor station and marched to the site of the academy, where the exercises J were ; held. \ - • ■ THE CORXEK-STOXE CEREMONIES opened with sacred music, scriptural read ing and prayer. The . ministers \of nearly all the neighborhood • '''Congregational churches were present and short addresses were made by a number of them. Robert B. McGrath, treasurer of ■ the board ;. of trustees, made a general statement of the expenses of the build ing and the donation of the land,' and '. Rev. Isaac Cory, secretary, ' gave an interesting historical sketch of the parent institution,' Carieton college, and the causes which led to the establishment of the academy. l The list of articles placed in the stone was also read, the list including the newspapers, coins and documents usually deposited on such occasions. \At the con clusion of these statements, D. C. Bell, "president of the board, conducted the cere monies and the stone was duly . laid. The doxology and benediction followed and the exercises were complete. The excursionists sauntered about the town and a few visited the numerous points of interest on the lake, the propeller Star having been placed at their disposal. . r THE PROPOSED ACADEMY is to be a preparatory school for the Con gregational college, Carleton, at North field. Its erection grew out. of a mass meeting at Excelsior in February, 1884, when the articles of incorporation were formulated and a board of trustees elected, as follows: Miner Ball, president, Excel sior; David C. Bell, vice president, Minne apolis; Rev. Isaac L. Cory, secretary, Ex celsior; Robert B. McGrath, treasurer, Ex celsior; Hon. E. S. Jones, Minneapolis; Prof. Horace Goodhue, Jr., Korthfield; Augustus B. Choate, Edward P. Beeman and Theodore Bost, Excelsior. Fifty acres of land and $8,000 in money were donated, and the project was complete. The school will be opened in September, if possible, with Prof. E. V. Stevens in charge, classes for that purpose having been maintained at the Excelsior high school. The new building will be frame, with se lected white brick veneer, and will cost $6, POO. It will be of a unique modern style of architecture. The main portion will be two stories high and will comprise one recitation room, 2Sx3l feet, (which will be divided into two smaller rooms), and an other, 15x28 feet. Above there will be a chapel, 35x46 feet, with eighteen-feet ceil ings, which will seat 100 people. Through the building will extend a large hall, with a central stairway leading to the chapel. Leading from this hall will be two vesti bules and wardrobes. At the right of the hallway will be a one-story portion, 20x46 feet, which will be divided into laboratory, cabinet and library rooms. There will be two large chimneys with ventilating flues and smoke stack. The main vestibule en trance will be earned up above the main roof into a cupola for a bell. The building will be heated by steam. All rooms will be finished in clear white pine and will be wainscotted. . FIXING SALARIES. Matters Considered by the Council . Last Night. President Clark sat in the chair at the ad journed session of the city council \ last night. An invitation - was received from Assistant Adjutant General Norton to the council to attend and participate in the memorial exercises of the Grand Army of the Republic on Saturday, and it was ac cepted. Aid. Babb moved that the chair man appoint a committee on transportation, and the following were sh appointed: Aid. Babb, Clough and Eichhorn. : Communications from the water board were referred to the j committee on water works. One was the petition of L. P. Hubbard and others for a water main in Second avenue, from Franklin avenue to Twenty-first street, and also for one in Park avenue, from Twenty-sixth to Twenty seventh streets. - : <*AX OLD CLAIM. A petition from Lester .B. Elwood, ad ministrator for the estate of George. S. Cleveland, . deceased,' for the payment of the award of the condemnation of lot 6, block 19, Snyder's First addition, was re ferred to the committee on claims. A petition to have Seven-and-a-Half avenue south opened arid/ extended was referred to the aldermen or the Fifth ward. ; THOSE RAILWAY BRIDGES AGAIN. . ' The matter of bridging the railway tracks at the crossings of Washington avenue north and on those on Third. Fourth and Fifth streets, was brought before the coun cil asain after, several months' profound slumber, through the petition of a large number of property owners, lt asked that the city build the approaches and the rail way companies be required to lower their tracks and to build the bridges. Referred to the committee on railroads. • > - ;*A: r .: HE KILLED THE BEAR., 'i y Officer Fauskow, who killed a pet bear several months ago, and which involved him in a lawsuit, asked for full indemnifi cation from the costs of the suit, the sum being §69.37. Tabled. ;.-:.; A protest against the ordinance prohibit ing all slaughter houses and stock yards from being located in the city limits was presented by Charles Witt, who alleges that he constructed his yards and houses in 1879 at a cost of about $9,000. Referred to the committee on health and hospitals. A protest from property owners on Sec ond avenue south, against the proposed widening of that thoroughfare, was re ferred to the committee on paving. " A petition from Contractor John Burns, asking that financial relief be afforded Thomas Mulvahill, who was injured by an explosion in a sewer on Saturday, was filed. The petition stated that the wounded man has a family in indigent circumstances. THE BARBERS. The barbers having petitioned the coun cil for an ordinance prohibiting barbershops from being operated on Sunday, a protest, largely signed was read. Col. John j = T. i West of the West headed the list. Re ferred to the committee on ordinances. Chief Stetson recommended that section 34 of an ordinance regulating the lire de partment be so amended as to read "city telegraph" instead of "fire alarm telegraph,?' and also to insert the word "police." He also recommended that the second assistant engineer be furnished with a ■ horse and buggy, and that 400 poles for the alarm sys tem be purchased. Referred to the . com mittee on fire department. , ■ ; . Ej The salary of the line man of fire ! alarm and police telegraph systems was fixed at $75 per month, and the appointments of Z. T. Morrison as superintendent of the fire alarm and police telegraph and . James W. Shannon as lineman were confirmed. /. , ).' I AWARDING CONTRACTS. ; / A contract was ordered executed • with Thomas Wilson, for furnishing j the city with pine lumber for the ensuing year, his being the lowest bid (from 15 to 17 per cent, off list price. ) :• ; ;';; '■_ ■'. v Contracts for. grading, etc., were awarded as follows: To J. T. Tobin, for grading Dupont street from Plymouth to Twenty sixth avenues north, at 14)£ cents per yard; Fremont street from Nineteenth to Twenty first avenues north, at 13>£ cents; to E. Robertson, Fifth street from Eleventh 'to Twelfth avenues north, at 12K ; cents; : tq Tobin & Co., for grading Portland ' avenue from Twenty-eighth i street to Lake and from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth streets; at 13% cents. . .- ■■ :M^ : y:^'K AN UNDERGROUND CROSSING.* '^\ James W. Lawrence and • others 'asked that an underground crossing be constructed under the tracks of •' the ' railway ' at i ; Four teenth and Fifteenth avenues southeast. -V ; The city attorney recommended that a warrant for $15,60 be drawn in favor of E.F. Webster on '. account of erroneous assess ment. ■ The matter of renting a steam engine waa THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 28," 1885. referred to the city engineer with power to act. FIXING SALARIES. The committee on salaries reported the following recommendations: That the sal ary of assistant meat inspector be Si, ooo, assistant inspector of buildings $1,200, health inspectors $60 per month; that the salary of street commissioners remain as at present, and that there be paid Ed A. Ste vens the sum of £400 for services rendered during the year just closed. Aid. Norenbergh raised the issue that the city had no right to increase or rather to pay back salary, and Aid. Johnson, to avoid a discussion, moved that that por tion of the recommendation relating to Ed. A. Stevens be referred to the committee on salaries and the city attorney. The motion prevailed and the report as amended was adopted. AN EXPERT WANTED. The committee on accounts of city officers was instructed to employ an expert ac countant to inspect the books of the city officers. The city clerk was instructed to draw a Wftinai in favor of the county treasurer for 542. 01 taxes due on an engine house lot recently purchased. The city engineer was instructed to not ify the Minneapolis Street Kailway com pany to pave between their tracks on sus pension bridge. THE WESTERN AVENUE TROI T BLE. The committee on roads and bridges rec ommended that, the matter of the Western avenue street railway troubles be referred to the city attorney for a legal opinion as to whether the council, after once granting the right to lay tracks on certain streets, can subsequently revoke such right, or, if it lies within the province of the council, to order the street railway company to remove their tracks from any street, etc. Adopted. A POLICE COMMISSION. The committee on police reported a rec ommendation that in all cases where a po lice officer in the discharge of his duties so acts as to render himseft liable to adverse criticism, or prosecution, the chief of police be requested to report the same to a com mission consisting of the committee on po lice and the mayor for investigation, and if, in their judgment, the officer reported shall ha\e acted properly and in obedience to the regulations for the government of the po lice force, that the city attorney be in structed to defend him. INGLEWOOD SPRINGS. The issue having been raised that the original ordinance giving Col. J. T. West, Thomas Lowry and others the right to lay mains to conduct water to the West hotel and other points from Iglewood springs, was was too sweeping, not specific enough in some respects, and that it would naturally have a tendency to conflict with the water works ordinance, the committee on ordi nances last night submitted another ordi nance giving the desired rights, which was given its first reading. The new ordinance binds the projectors of the scheme to sell to the city their pipes and appurtenances, if the city wishes to buy, at any time ten years after pipes are laid. A MARKET ORDINANCE. An ordinance to establish a central city market in pursuance of the plan and propo sition previously submitted by Harlow A. Gale was read. It gives to Mr. Gale the exclusive market privileges of the center of the city for a term of fifty years, upon the condition that he erects a suitable and ac ceptable market house in an acceptable lo cation. The ordinance prohibits all hawk ing, in the territory designated, of market able articles. MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS. Eighth street southeast was ordered laid out and extended from the Mill company's addition to Andrews & Moulton's addition, and Twenty-fourth street from Eighteenth avenue south across the tracks of the Mil waukee railway. A water main was ordered laid in Lyn dale avenue from Twenty-eighth to Lake street; in Twenty-eighth street from Nicol let to Lyndale avenue. A CITY HOSPITAL. The committee on public grounds and buildings was instructed to look up a site for a city hospital. The. alderman of the Fourth ward re ported in favor of reducing the width of the sidewalk in front of W. H. Eustis' property, on Sixth street, to nine feet. Adopted. A warrant for the sum of 87,000 was ordered drawn in favor of David Ellsworth from the permanent improvement fund, the same being due. A warrant in favor of Fred Weisky for damages in the matter of opening Van Buren street, for §50, was ordered drawn. THE MIXED MOTOR MATTER. Statements by Interested Parties— An Old Case. Beyond the statement from Gen. W. S. Washburn of his connection with it, there was little of interest developed yesterday in the matter of the petition for a receiver for the Minneapolis, Lyndale & Minnetonka railroad, better known as the motor line. From the fact that some of the interest coupons of the bonds of the road were not paid, the Fanners' Loan and Trust company of New, York representing the holders of a majority of the bonds, viz., §170,000, rep resented to the federal court at St. Paul, that it believed the Motor company insolv ent and asked that a receiver be appointed. The petition sets forth that in April, 1881, the railroad company turned over to the loan and trust company, under a trust deed, all its property and franchises to secure its first mortgage bonds, which aggregated $170,000, at 6 per cent., run ning thirty years, interest payable semi annually. The petition further avers that the mortgage deed further contained a pro vision that, in case of default for six months in the payment of interest, the principal of the bonds may be considered due. Two coupons must in the meantime, however, have been presented for payment and re fused. It is alleged that default in the in terest was made on Oct. 1 last, and again on April 1 ; whereupon the petition is now filed. It is now developed that Gen. Wash burn is the owner of a majority of the bonds, and the suit on behalf of the Far mers' Loan and Trust company is in reality his. Statements from the parties interested are as follows: THE ROAD'S ATTORNEY. Capt. J. N. Cross, said yesterday the bonded debt of the company is $270,000 and the floating debt $150, 000. ' 'The com pany has a splendid property and a little time is all that is needed to work out of the indebtedness. It is now just entering upon one of the best earning seasons that has been in the history of the road. The earn ings this year will be from $75,000 to $80, --000, of which not over $40,000 will be re quired for running expenses. Allowing for all contingencies there ought to be at least a net income of $30,000. Out of this only about §16,000 will be required to meet the interest on the bonds. Col. McCrory has already secured most of the floating debt by mortgages on his own property. From this time on it will not cost nearly as much to keep the road in good condition- as before, and there is no reason why the com pany should not take care of the interest, or both the bonded and floating debts. Be sides this we expected to put in a cable line, similar to the one in Chicago, from the union depot to a point over the hill on Nicollet avenue, and to extend the line to Fort Snelling. So far as the receiver's suit is concerned, I know nothing, for there have been no papers served on me yet. I understand that those making application for a receiver want C. F. Hatch appointed. The first move that I will be required to make will be to appear to answer to an order to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. After this I have one month to file an answer. You may say that the effort to secure the appointment of a receiver will be resisted with all possible diligence, and the interests of the floating debt will be carefully looked after." WHAT GEN. WASHBURN SAYS. In talking of the matter yesterday Gen. Washburu said that while he for some time had been contemplating the securing of a controlling interest in the road, it was only recently, after negotiation with the New York owners of the bonds, he had agreed to purchase. 'There will probably," he said, "be other Minneapolis capitalists as sociated w.ith me. But before I had takeu any step towards purchasing the bonds I learned that proceedings for foreclosure had already been instituted by the Farmers' Loan and Trust company to recover one year's interest, amounting to about $16,000. I did not stop the proceedings, and when I purchased the bonds these proceedings virtually became mine, although I did not institute the same. I told Col. McCrory yesterday that so far as I was concerned no one's interest should be wronged under the new order of things, and* if the parties holding the floating debts de sired to come in and associate themselves in a reorganization of the company they are at liberty to do so. In fact I propose to invite every one to take this step. I would certainly be more friendly to the road than those who previously held the bonds, since they had no other interest than col lecting their coupons. If the road should go into the hands of a receiver it could not be sold until six months had elapsed, when anew company could be organized and effect its purchase." The hearing of the petition for a receiver will occur at St. Paul on Saturday. DISTINGUISHED PARTY Of Visiting Railroad IHen-Plaus of the Minneapolis Sc St. Louis. A distinguished party of Rock Island of ficials arrived yesterday afternoon on a special train over the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, and stopped at the West hotel for supper, leaving at 9 o'clock for Winni peg. The party consisted of President K. R. Cable of the liock Island and Minne apolis & St. Louis roads. David Dows, the great New York banker and principal stockholder of the road, accompanied by his wife; Hon. R. P. Flower, upon whom the New York Democrats came so near uniting as a presidential candidate, accom panied by his wife and Miss Emma Flower; Benjamin Brewster and son, H. K. Bishop, Mr. Harriman, Mrs. Schley and H. 11. Hollister, also of New York; Hall P. < Sawyer of Oslikosh, Thomas F. Withrow, the general solicitor of the road, and wife; ex-President 11. H. Potter and wife; Mr. and Airs. H. Field, Hugh Riddle, the Misses Isham and H. S. Cable of Chicago. President Cable maintained that no signifi cance was to be attached to the visit other than that of pleasure and recreation. Min neapolis, with its magnificent hotel, had formed a convenient stopping place for a few hours' rest, and the party had gladly embraced the opportunity. After a brief stop at Winnipeg the intention is to visit Bismarck, returning so* as to reach Minneapolis about Saturday. When asked concerning the report that ne gotiations were pending with the Manitoba for a continuation of the union depot con tract until the completion of the Northern Pacific short line, he replied that there had been considerable talk of such an ar rangement, but the matter has finally been abandoned. May 31 the Minneapolis & St. Louis will commence running trains from its own depot on Third street north, and for the time being will abandon the passenger business between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The freight business, however, will be continued through the medium of the Minnesota Transfer com pany. W. H. Truesdale, vice president of the Minneapolis & St. Louis, corroborated this a few moments later. SATISFIED WITH CLEVELAND. A Short Talk With Hon. Roswell P. Flower. Hon. Roswell P. Flower, the well-known New York banker and politician, who was one of the party of Rock Island officials* which passed through the city last evening, was asked concerning the administration of President Clevelaud, and replied with un mistakable sincerity: "It is very satisfac tory. President Cleveland is a sagacious man and an honest man. He is going to give the the country a splendid adminis tration. He has the right idea, that of governing as little as possible, and you will find the government machinery will be run with fewer officeholders and at less ex pense than ever before. He is a man of good judgment, and his appointments thus far I regard as very fortunate." Being asked what he thought of Min neapolis, Mr. Flower said: "Your people don't begin to appreciate the grand pos sibilities of the future. Minneapolis is bound to be the supplying point for all this great country, within a radius of 600 miles north and west of here, only about three-eights of which is at present under cultivation. When this country is peopled, Minneapolis will have 500,000 people, and I predict this will be within the next thirty years." CURRENT COMMENT. Dr. Lee, the official inspector of meats, states that scarcely a day passes that he does not find articles of food offered for sale which are for some reason unfit to eat, and which are consequently condemned. Said lie: "I am gratified, however, to note the marked improvement both in the condition of meat markets and in the quality of the meats offered for sale. The butchers seem disposed to do their utmost to comply with the requirements of the city ordinance, and in a few months, I anticipate, there will scarcely be found a pound of bad meats for sale. The butchers exercise every precaution in purchasing cattle and caring for their stock. *** A Spencer carbine shot gun was used at the tournament yesterday. It is quite a nov elty and attracted the attention of all the inarksnien. The gun loads similarly to an ordinary carbine and repeats as fast as the trigger can be pulled. It did effective work in nearly all the events yesterday. *** The city attorney was asked by the city council for a legal opinion as to whether the law making dogs subject to listing and as sessment under the tax law, or in other words making them personal property, was constitutional. The object was to get his opinion as to whether or not the ordi nance creating a dog catcher and empower ing him to kill all unlicensed dogs if not redeemed ha the time specified, would stand the test. The city attorney makes the following response: "In my opinion laws relating to dogs passed by the legislature does not repeal, modify or in any way abridge the power of the council to exercise the power designated in the city charter." That is, that the dog-catchers career may continue uninterrupted by the new act. This is an important question, and there are those who take issues with the opinion quoted. *** "Oh, yes, there is a vast difference in the quality and value of cedar for paving pur poses, "said a contractor to a Globe re porter. "You will notice that the cedar block pavement laid on Washington ave nue three years ago is still in excellent con dition, while the blocks laid at the suspen sion bridge are nearly worn out and must be replaced this season. I attribute the difference mainly to the quality of the ce dar, yet owing to the narrowness of the bridge, the traffic on the same space or street surface must be more there than on Washington avenue." *** "It was a great surprise to me," remarked a resident out on the motor line yesterday, •'to learn of the application made to have a receiver appointed for the motor* company. 1 had supposed, judging from the apparently large passenger traffic of the road, that it must be in a prosperous condition and mak ing money." "There is no doubt that the road is mak ing money," rejoined a well-informed citi zen. "The trouble in this case is a lack of capital. The road has made an extension at Minnetonka, an:l one to Minnehaha Falls, to better accommodate its patrons, at great cost, and was obliged to secure large loans for the purpose. I don't apprehend that the diffi culty will block the business of the com pany. The motor line is now good prop erty, and there are plenty of capitalists who will jump at the opportunity it presents for a profitable speculation." *** The new ordinance, placed on its first reading last night, granting John T. West, Thomas Lowry and others the right to lay pipes to conduct water from the Inglewood springs to the West hotel, and the right to tap the pipes for customers along the line, is supposed to be dispossessed of any ob jectionable clauses, and it is highly proba ble that it will be passed at the next meet ing of the council. *#* The city is now pretty certain to get two market houses which will be a credit to xis. One will be in the center of the city, under the management of Harlow A. Gale, and the other on the North side, under the man agement of Lambert Hayes. *•* The members of the city council will par ticipate in the memorial exercises on Satur day. : ' A volunteer contribution > was ' made by. the aldermen last night ' to" pay ■{; the} 1 ex pense of carriage hire. Consequently " the aldermen will ride. " V? . DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS. Judge Young Passes Upon an Unus ual Law Point. .'J The suit of Thomas Murphy vs. Jensen, Gilbranson & Co. for 35, 000 damages is now on trial before Judge V Young.

Beaks, to collect a : judgment against the defendant for $579.24, rendered in the supreme court of the province of Nova Scotia. The 'judge holds that the tran script of | the 1 judgment was ; not , properly authenticated. The : document ';■ bore the great * seal ' of state, and . was signed by the" judge and clerk of court, and also by the American' consul. Judge Young, however, refuses to • accept the exemplification of the I record as evi dence on the ground that it should be proven that the seal affixed and the person certify ing is the clerk, and the ' certificate of the judge in the absence of a statute ■ cannot be received as evidence, nor is the matter helped by the certificate of the counsel. This court does not take official note of the seals of foreign courts .or of the judges thereof. V v The transcript should be proven: First — By an exemplification of the great seal of state. „ Second— By a certificate proven to be a true copy by a witness who has compared it with the original. r \ - . Third — By a certificate of an officer prop erly authorized by law to give a copy, which certificate must also be duly authenticated. ' _ Last Night's Gatherings. .

MEDICAL,. h ■■■ : Dr. Spinney^ 37 Third St. S, Minneapolis, lisa. Treat all Chronic, Nervous Dis~ eases of Men and Women. : DR. SPINNEY, v Well known as the founder of the Montreal (C. E.) Medical Institute, and having given " his entire attention for the past twenty years to the treatment of chronic and special dis eases incident to both sexes, his success has produced astonishing results. By his method . of treatment, the suffering are fully restored to original health. He would call the atten tion of the afflicted to the fact of ": his long standing and well-earned reputation, as a suf ficient assurance of his skill, and , success. Thousands who have been under i his treat ment have • felt and expressed emotions of gratitude welling up from hearts touched for : the first time by the silken chord that whis pers of returning health. ; : Those suffering from Catarrh .i or Bron chitis can be assured of a perfect cure by his new method of treatment. ■ > . Dr. SPINNEY can detect the slightest dis ease of * the ' Chest, Lungs or any internal organ, and guarantees a cure in every • case he undertakes. ; It matters not what your troubles may be, come and let the Doctor examine your case. IF it IS curable hi will TELL YOU SO; DP NOT HE WILL TELL, TOU THAT; for he Will not undertake a case unless he is confident of ef fecting a cure. |It will cost you nothing for consultation; so please call and satisfy your self whether the Doctor understands-your case. - YOUNG MEN Who may be suffering from nervous debility will do well to avail themselves of this, th» greatest boon ever laid at the altar of suffer ing humanity. * v Dr. Spinney will Guarantee to Forfeit Five Hundred Dollars for every case of weakness or disease of any kind or character, which he undertakes and fails to cure. -Ha would therefore say to the unfortunate suf : ferer who may read this notice, that * you are treading on dangerous grounds when , you longer delay in seeking the proper remedy f»t your complaint. You may be in - the first — Remember that you are approaching the last. If you are bordering on the last and are suffering some or all of its ill effects, re member that if you obstinately persist in pro- : crastination the | time must come when t*« most skillful physician can render you no as sistance; when the door of hope will be closed against you; when no angel of mercy, caa bring you relief. In no case has the Doctor failed of success. Then let not despair work itself upon your imagination, but avail your self of the beneficial results of his treatment before your case is beyond the reach of medi cal skill, or before grim death hurries you to a premature grave.
