MINNEAPOLIS NEWS. An "Unusually Brutal Case of Assault Brought to Light, and the Alleged Criminal Taken. Chief of Police West Returns Prom the South and Gives an Account of Himself. Several Legal Lights Tell Ed Stevens What They Think of His Defense. Keen* at the Grand--In the Courts- Woods' Xemesis--Xotable Wed- -Briefs. ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT. Julia Peterson, a Pretty Girl of 16 Years, the Victim. E. J. Teipner is in the toils. He was yesterday placed under arrest upon a charge of rape, Julia Peterson, a girl 16 years old, being the victim of his lechery, and she is now" at Bethany home in a critical condi tion. Teipner, who is apparently about 35 years of age, is of fairly good address aud lias a penchant for talkativeness. He has been a successful solicitor for one of the Washington avenue safe houses. lie came to Minneapolis about three months ago from an interior village in Wisconsin, aud has in his possession papers indicating that he is an attorney and that he occupied a justice bench in his native town. He is of medium stature ana somewhat corpulent. The affair iirst came to light upon an ex posure being made by a young man named Christ Lundgren, who reported the case to the police several days ago. He stated that be had given Mrs. Teipner S5 for the privi lege of occupying a room with the girl at the home of the Teipners, No. 213 Second avenue south. He was shown up siairs to Julia Peterson's room, and securely locked in from the outside. Mrs. Teipuer blew out the lamp and left him in total darkness. The girl was in bed, and he soon ascertained that she was seriously ill, and it afterwards developed that she had been drugged with whisky and morphine. In conversation with her, he learned that she was quite ill, and being pressed told the reason. She re lated a pitiful tale of bestial outrage, aud so enlisted the sympathy of the young man that he sat by her bedside the entire night caring for her. Her story moved him to tears, and in the morning, without hinting anything of the kind to the. Teipners. he went straight to the|police headquarters and DIVULGED THE GIKL'S STORY. Clerk Stevens took the matter in charge. He first sent Otticer Coffin around to the house with Lumteren to locate the place and then visited the place himself. He found the girl very ill. She corroborated the young man's statements. Mr. Stevens then enlisted the services of the superin tendent of poor and the city physician and the girl was removed to Bethany home for better treatment and care, but not without a protest from Teipner, who claimed that tiie girl had a good home aud ought not to be removed. He said Dr. Moore was treating the case, but the officers were not to be turned aside from their purpose. With that the case was for some unex plained reason dropped until yesterday, when the girl, having sufficiently recovered to visit the city hall, made a new complaint. Her story is sufficient to fire any man with a soul or conscience with indignation, and is as follows in substance: About two months ago or less she came to Minneapolis from her home in Cokato, Minn., about sixty-eight miles distant, for employment About three weeks ago she was sent to E. J. Teipner's by E. Danglars, where she readily secured work as a do mestic at 51. 50 a week. Mr. Teipuer seemed quite attentive to her and on the evening of Nov. 7 he said to her: "Julia 1 want you to come with me to the store to bring back some groceries." Suspecting nothing wrong, she assented. On reaching the safe store, where he was employed, Teipner unlocked the door and told her to come in. There was no light. He then seized her, placing his hand over her mouth and committed a felonious assault. She was ignorant of the ways of a wicked city and said nothing about the outrage to any one. Afterwards she was drugged at the house and men were sent to her room. She remembers three occasions when men were locked in her room with her. At an other time the lecherous Teipner com mitted an assault upon her in the sitting-room and in the presence of Mrs. Teipner. The girl struggled desperately, and Mrs. T. said she had "best give up to him." She also claimed that when she went to the Teipners she had an amount of money which was taken from her. A Globe reporter called upon Teipner at the first precinct station for the purpose of an interview. "What has brought you here?" asked the reporter. '•You are a reporter; 1 know you." "No doubt you do." "Well. I don't want this thing published. I am all right. 7 ' "What is your business?" "I have no business." "Are you going to fight the case?" "You may depend that I will tight the case. I have got lots of money, and I can show up as good a record as any mania Minneapolis. lam innocent. But I will not be interviewed." "You have got where you belong at last," remarked Detective Gleason who had just entered the lockup. "Why so?" "You are a United States detective, eh?" "1 have given your people pointers many times, and this is the thanks I get for it." Detective Gleasoa then toll? the reporter that he first became acquainted with the prisoner about three months ago, wheu he represented hlmselt to Gleason as a UNITED STATES DETECTIVE, stating that he had been on the bench and was then engaged in ferreting out certain pine land steals from the government. The reporter called upon Mrs. Teipner at her hwne last evening. She was found in her sifting- room witb her two little chil dren. She talked glibly, bur evidently was ignorant of the fact that she was talking to a newspaper man. She stated that she had been married six years. She corroborated in the most essential points the particulars of the girl's story. She said the assault had been committed before her eyes in the sitting room. She found remonstrance in vaiu. "The girl seemed williug to remain, even after I wanted her to leave. " she said. "Did she not complain of the treatment she received at the hands of your husband?" "Not a word. She seemed to be crazy after him. I'm of a jeaious disposition and wanted her to leave the house." I- " You could not be of a very jealous dis position and permit outrages before your very eyes. Mrs. Teipner?'' "But 1 couldn't help myself." "Did you ever accept -S5 from a young man to allow him to occupy the girl's room?" "Yes, I took the money but I assure you that I did not approve of such doinss." "How about the claim that the girl was drugged and locked in the house?" "That is not so. She was always allowed to go out. In fact I frequently sent her to the store on errands, and she seemed per fectly contented and anxious to remain here." "Was she drugged?"' "She was given whisky one night and morphine in the morning. It was given as a medicine. The girl was ill and my hus band went to a saloon and got a glass of •whisky, and I made a hot sling. She seemed to be suffering great pain and the whisky relieved her." Julia Peterson is an unusually pretty girl. She is rather slight, has a plump and sym metrical form, and other than her ailments, superinduced by brutal assaults, she seems to be in robust health. The case will probably come up before the municipal court to-day. ALL, HAIL THE CHIEF! CUief West Home Front the South— He Talks of Things. Chief West returned home yesterday from his month's trip in the South in fine ipirits and looking improved. A Globe reporter found him quite chatty. He says ihat while at Chattanooga he heard of the police investigation. He feared that he would be sent for, and not wishing to have iis plans for a delightful vacation dis turbed, he. like the Arab, silently folded his tent and stole away. In the night time, and without taking l^ve of his friends, ho went to Atlanta, where he remained in blissful ignorance of the hostile combat that was being waged in the city hall. He does not care to venture an opinion, and if he is conversant with any of the tliiugs charged, he prefers to keep his own counsel. He says that he found the Lookout mountain locality one vast burial ground. It was there that upwards of 20.000 soldiers found their last resting place. He met many Confederate officers and was treated with considerate courtesy by them. He speaks in elowing terms of the reception accorded him by Mayor Hugh Whiteside of Chattanooga and by the members of Lookout post, G. A. K. He found them all hospitable and thoughtful in planning for his comfort and entertainment while there. In speaking of the country he manifested a pronounced dislike to it in many particulars. He found the people in the cities and the Deople in the country so strikingly dissimilar that one would be naturally led to believe they were two distinct nations. The manu facturing industries are generally pur sued by people who were born and reared north of the Ohio river, and aro in strong contrast with the native Southerners. The former are industrious and stirring people, while the latter are predisposed to indolence, and do business in an easy, don't-care-a-continental, hap-hazard sort of a way. Ha saw in the country hun dreds of acres of cotton fields ready to be gathered, and few to do the husbanding, while in th« towns were thousands of half starved, indolent laborers, wearing rubber shoes and rags aud tatters, too lazy to work and almost too lazy to breathe. If they bad one meal of corn broad and sweet potatoes ahead they were supremely bfcppy aud contented with their lot. The hovels of the people in the country are usually without a window, and the smoke from the excuse of a cook stove used in the culinary department is carried away through a mud chimney. The better classes of course are very dif ferent. They are a happy people as a rule and invariably take the world easy. They nevery fret aud worry and seldom meet with marked disappointments, from the sheer reason that they seldom make definite plans for the future. Ho found that the Southerners were al ways glad to greet people from the North, and always glad to have them locate in the South. They realize the fact that people from the North generally come in their midst with plethoric pocketbooks and bent on spending their money. He found in this connection that they looked upon Western people with more favor than they do the people of New England. The Southerners say that Western people are generous. The waiters at hotels and on steamboats and the porters on the cars have a kind appreciation of the difference. From the typical Western millionaire they invariably get a handsome "tip" where the Eastern millionaire would give up a mere bagatelle. Chief West came home more than ever pleased with and proud of his city, Minne apolis. In all his wanderings he declares he did not see a place that he would care to call by the sacred name "home." He will probably assume charge of the department to-day. THE LAWYERS' ICRN. What They Say of liie Evidence in tin? Late Investigation. Mr. Ed A. Stevens evidently has consid erable conlidence as to a favorable ending, so far as it affects himself, of the police investigation, and professes to be not at all nervous as to the verdict which may or may not be rendered t«-day, Yesterday was spent by himself and friends in interview ing leadinsr attorneys aud the following is claimed to be the result of such interviews, including all attorneys seen except Judge Atwater who declined to express an opinion tor publication, until a I verdict had been rendered, and A. N. Mer ] rick and F. B. Flart. who had not paid suf ficient attention to the case to hazard opin ions: Judge JRea — In a court of justice, gov erned by the rules of evidence, Stevens would not have been called upon for a de fense. He. however, made one that is complete beyond all question. As to the bribery talk. I personally know that much | of it conies from parties who tried to bribe i him and failed, and no small amounts were mentioned, either. County Attorney Davis — The evidence is a mass of rot, and the defense complete and overwhelm in!?. Ex-County Attorney Lawrence— Much of the evidence against Stevens bore on its face the marks of untiutht'ulness, but his defense completely demolishes the charges. Ex-County Attorney Hale — 1 see nothing in the evidence to implicate Stevens at all. Ex-County Attorney Wooley — Xo man ever made a better defense or more thor oughly exonerated himself. His vindication was complete, aud he has crushed his ene mies in this matter without compromising any one outside the case. Orville Rinehart — Had Ed been willing to throw mud at others he would have made Koine howl. He has established his inno cence beyond all question, but his victory would have been overwhelming had he let loose on some people. As it is, he is saving his powder for another engagement. K. R. Udell— Ed's speech was a dandy — a crusher; there's no getting away from his argumeut. You bet it was a dandy. Fred Hooker — The evidence fails in any degree to show wherein Stevens is in any way implicated. He is greatly misunder stood — a uyach better man than many sup pose. E. M. Wilson — The prosecution has not, according to established rules of evidence, made out their case in any respect what ever. W. P. Roberts— Few men can handle pitch with safety, but Stevens cleared him self before commencing his side of the case. W. H. Donahue — I have watched the case closely. Steveus' argument was a masterpiece aud tiis defense complete. He fought against terrible odds and defeated his enemies at every point. J. C. Worrall — It was a sure winner for Stevens from the start. Look at the class of witnesses brought against' him. He crushed theui to atoms, and woe be unto his enemies if ho takes the war path. J. H. Qlddinss— Stevens knocked them j out. except in tiie Lee matter, and that, it seems, was first brought to the attention of the committee by him and satisfactorily ex plained. S. A. Reed — I have carefully read all the evidence printed iv the papers, including the suinmins up. and I fail to see where anything approaching a case has been made out, unless in the minds of prejudicial par ties. It would have been dismissed in any I court of justice on defendant's motion without bearing his witnesses. It is very evident that somebody is afraid of Stevens, and has undertaken to down him, but he has a big coutract on his hands. Seagrave Smith — Steveus hasn't shown his hand yet. Wait until he gets through aud you may be astonished. C. B. Leonard — Some one said when the prosecution closed that there "wasn't evi dence enough against anybody to hang a cat." and lie hit the nail on the head, and i that was before Stevens opened his bat teries. L. A. Dunn— l don't see anything very j damaging so far, and I guess they've got to the end of their rope. Benjamin Davenport — The evidence against Stevens would not stand for a mo ment in a court of justice — I mean the evi dence as published in the papers. What it may do in a court organized to convict, with the prosecutor on the jury, remains to be seen. THE LAST DAY For Filing Cases For the December Terui—Stistrict Court Briefs. The disposition of the few remaining cases on the calendar proves an easy task for the judges and yesterday was a day of comparative leisure. A demurrer was ar gued and overruled by Judge Young in the suit of Frank J. Mackey and Harry F. Legg vs. F. A. Fisher & Co. The defendants were the con tractors who built the Mackey-Legg block in 1882 and, as the plaintiffs claim, contracted to assume all liabilities from ac cidents occuring while the building was in the course of erection. Jan. 16, 1882. Timothy Moran fell into the excavation and brought suit for damages. Fisher & Co. TELE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER^/ 1 1885. —TEN PAGES. had the action dismissed as to themselves, and a. verdict against Mackey & Legg for •■?",! 0:5. 2" was returned. This action is brought nsainst Campbell, Fisher & Co. to pay the damages according to contract. The suit of Samuel Breck vs. A. J. Ros ander was tried before Judge Lochren yes terday and a verdict for the defendant re turned. The suit was concerning an ex elmnge of farm land in Wisconsin for land in Fillmoro county, and the plaintiff sought to recover 81,280 because of alleged mis representation on the part of the defend ant's agent. In Judge Koon's court yesterday the trial of the suit brought by R. R. Odell against Corser & Co. to recover $250 due on an ac count assigned to the plaintiff, was resumed. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the entire amouut with interest. In the suit of Squires & Thompson vs. Phillip Hoefller to recover $70, a balance due on lumber used in the floor of the Oak Lake roller rink, the jury returned a ver dict giving the plaintiff $50. XKXT TEKM'S CALENDAR. Thirteen new cases were yesterday placed on the calendar for the December term, which brings the total number of cases up to 315, of which 161 are continued cases and 3 appeal cases.

Beede to recover 35,000 dam ages, alleging that on June 2 he was knocked down by runaway horse belonging to the defendant at the corner of Fifth av enue south and Fourth street. He claims that the horse was vicious and no proper effort was made to stop it. The injury to the plaintiff consisted of a dislocated hip and severe sprain of the back and spine. CUPID AND TERPSICHORE. Wedding 1 Bells and Society Notes Jingled in Tune. A joyous wedding party assembled at the corner of Nicollet avenue and Twenty-sev enth street at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, the parties being Frank L. Blaisdell and Miss Addie M. Howe. Only members of the family were assembled, the wedding occurring at the residence of Robert Blais dell, father of the groom. Ptev. "W. R. Dobbyn united the pair, the groom being attended by George Laugley and the bride by Miss Edith Blaisdell. A merry wedding supper followed and the bridal couple joined the excursion to California. The Hebrew fair at Harmonia hall ended last night with a full-dress party, that proved a brilliant finish to the successful fair. The pretty, dark-eyed Jewish maid ens never looked prettier, and to the sound of music the gayety was continued until a late hour. Four handsome Pullmans, loaded with merry excursionists, pulled out from the union depot last evening, en route for Cali fornia. The excursion, the largest of the kind that ever left Minneapolis, will include a visit to Salt Lake and the Yosemite val ley, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other California cities. Among those who went were the following: Frank Blaisdell and bride, W. W. Herrick and family. L. E. Keilv and family, William Blaisdell and wife, Miss Edith Blaisdell, Mrs. Ida Gil man, G. H.

Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Keith, Miss Mamie Bull, Mis 3 Ella Wassemer and Miss Emma Roberts. Rev. Dr. Hovey will entertain the Clus ter club this evening. L. P. Plummer post gave an enjoyable entertainment last evening at Leland rink. A dance and supper followed some exhibi tions of skating and bicycling. FREIGHTS AND 2VO MARKET, Unite in Closing Down Moat of the Flour Mills. ;-■ This morning will find not more than three or four of the twenty-three flour mills ; in operation, the remainder having closed down last night. The most potential fac tor in this result was the advance in freight rates, most of the millers having now run out of transit. The result will be the ship ment of most of the wheat to Chicago, which otherwise would bave been milled here. Mr. C. A. Pillsbury said yesterday the state of the Hour market was such that with ail the attendant circumstances there is no profit in milling fer export alone.: A change for the better is anticipated, but in case it does not come the mills will be closed indefinitely. The Market Record says: There were . twenty-one Minneapolis flour mills in operation this morning, the Dakota having been added to those running: yester day. Tv-night nearly all will close, most of them not to . start again for an indefinite period. Arrangements to this end have been in pieparation for sometime. Millers have placed suitable stocks in the hands of agents at about all points to carry them for some time to come, which will relieve them from the necessity of opening: their mills until there shall be a state of affairs warranting it. They recognize the necessity of doing this to save the flour market from complete de moralization, while by closing they will be en abled to carry their present stocks along, holding them at current values at least. The closing, is not done by resolution of the Millers' association, as that is not a matter within the scope of . association jurisdiction. Any member has absolute authority to run or dose his mills as he may deem best to suit his own purposes. In this case the rise in freight rates is the immediate cause of the general closing that will • take place to-night. A few that will run to-morrow will shut down on Wednesday night. AIS .HOW and tragedy. The Gounod Club Concert— us "Richard III." ' The Gounod opened its winter series of concerts at the West hotel last night in the presence of a cultured audience that en tirely filled the main dining-hall. Prof. Morse swung the baton in his method of characteristic perfection, and directed the rendition of a concert that would have been a credit to any city. The eight vocal num bers were relieved in the center by a piauo solo by Miss Annie Wilson, a graduate of the Dresden conservatory, who made her first appearance before a Minneapolis audi ence. Her selection of Schumann's Liebes lied indicated her preference for some thing at once pleasing and difficult without being of a showy character, and the audi ence at once indicated its appreciation of both taste and ; execution by lavish applause. The vocal numbers, -with four exceptions, were concerted pieces, excellently rendered, "The Bells of St. Michael's Tower" probably best pleasing the company. The soloists in the remaining numbers were Mrs. I. J. Covey soprano, with female chorus, Miss Lillian E. Stod dard, soprano, with male chorus, Miss Ger trude Daniels, contralto, with female chorus, and Prof. A. W. Porter, baritone, with female chorus. The program ended with Tom Moore's "My Luve's Like a Red, Red Rose, "arranged by Garrett for mixed voices. It was, withal, a delightful inauguration of the series, the rest of which will be awaited with pleasurable anticipations. KEEXE AS "KICHARD." A second good audience at the Grand last nizht enjoyed the masterly presentation of "itichard III" by Thomas W. Keene and his really good company. It is perhaps unneccesary to go into detail to any extent, as Keene has only recently given the same play here and it will be sufficient to say he acquited himself in the same able and scholarly style as be fore. The support, scenery and accessories were all that could be desired. To-night the bill will be "Macbeth." AttheThura day matinee the performance will not be gin until 2:30, to give the theater-goers an opportunity to eat their Thanksgiving turkey. . . " ' '• I ■■-■ 8. H. WOODS' NEMESIS. John G. Peters of Massachusetts in the City— Woo* in Jail Yet. John G. Peters of Worcester, Mass., who last spring caused the arrest and subsequent , removal to Massachusetts on a writ of habeas corpiflM S. 11. Woods on the charge of obtaining money under false prstsases, is at the Nicolllet, having coma to Minneap olis as a witness in the su't of Lucy Baxter vs. ex-Sheriff James Stoddard. Mr. Peters states that Wood has not been convicted and sent to the penitentiary as was reported, but is now in the Worcester county jail. Five indictments were returned against him, and he was last fall tried upon three indict ments jointly. He took exceptions to cer tain rulings of the court and appealed to the supreme court, which does not sit again Worcester county until next October. The earliest probable date at which he can se cure another trial is Jan. 1. 1887. Mr. Peters says the confinement of prison life seems to be wearing upon Woods, but that he remains apparently undaunted, firmly believing that he will ultimately be ac quitted. . A FATAL ACCIDENT. H. C. Ewald Thro From a Wood- Cart by the Cars. What will in all likelihood prove a fatal accident occurred at 8 o'cl«ck yesterday morning on the Chestnut avenue crossing of the Omaha railway tracks. Henry C. Ewald, a teamster, is the victim. He was driving a wood-cart across the tracts when the outgoing passenger train collided with the hind end of the cart. Mr. Ewald was thrown with violence to a side-track, his head striking a rail, but the cart was not damaged. He was not touched by the passing train. When picked up the in jured man was unconscious. He was car ried to his home. No. 919 Fourteenth ave nue south, and a surgeon dressed his wounds. His skull is badly fractured, and recovery is highly improbable. Ewald was in the employ of V. Truesdell. the fuel merchant, and a member of Levi Butler post, G. A. R. It was charged that no flagman was on duty at the crossing at the time of the accident, and a suit for dama ges will probably result. A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY, Which Sared the Life of an East Minneapolis Young: Lady. A very fortunate termination of what ap pears to have been a serious attempt of a young lady at self-destruction is reported in East Minneapolis. Sunday night Miss Carrie George, daughter of D. J. George, the washboard manufacturer, swallowed a quantity of a solution of vitriol, after leav ing a note to her parents ia forming them what she had done. The discovery of the rash act was made in time and medical as sistance was summoned. By employing the proper remedies the physician man aged to save the young girl's life, and she is now likely to recover. The cause of the determination to end her life is attributed to a sudden impulse arising from a rebuke which she had received from her mother. It is needless to say, perhaps, that she is only too happy that her attempt was in vain. The family is highly respected, and the daughter has been until recently in at tendance at a leading seminary. MARITAL. AMENITIES. Three Gases Berealinar Curious Phases of Human Nature. At the speoial term of the district court Saturday, Nov. 14, William Kausal obtained a divorce from Christina Kausal upon the ground of adultery, the defendant not ap pearing. Mrs. Kausal now comes forward aud asks to have the decree set aside, alleg ing that the summons and complaint were not served upon her, aud she was kept in ignorance of the suit. She denies that she has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a wife, and asks for a separation and ali mony. At the present term of court Ann Murphy was tried upon an indictment which charged her with having stelen 3129 in gold from Smith O'Brien. Mrs. Murphy was acquit ted after a lengthy trial, during which it was made to appear that a criminal inti macy had existed between her and O'Brien. John Murphy, the husband, now brings suit against O'Brien for alienating his wife's af fections, placing his damages at $5,000. The faaaeus Wagner divorce suit bobbed up serenely in Judge Young's court yester day. It will be remembered that Amelia Wagner sued Frank Wagner for divorce, which was denied, although an order was made granting her a certain amount for at torney's fees. The defendant appealed from the order and brought an action against the wife for divorce, which was likewise denied. Now Mrs. Wagner asks for a separation and alimcny. The case was argued and is to be submitted on briefs. MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS. Bicycling just now is one of the leading sports in this city. Next Friday evening Grant Bell and W. M. Wo»dside will ride a fifty-mile race at the Washington rink, and will attempt to break the world's record. It will be the most important bicycle feat ever attempted in Minnesota. Thomas Shields, the scratch heavy ■weight, is willing to wrestle any man in the state for SlOO a side, c»llar-and-elbow style. BELL BEATEN AT LAST. The 3.000 people who went to Washing ton rink last night saw their favorite bicy clist beatea by the raised ends, in his con test with W. M. Wo«dside. The latter, twice beaten by Bell, insisted on raising the ends of the rink, so as to permit of making the turns without retarding the pace. Bell conseuted with his usual good humor and lost the race. His wheel is not adapted to the raised ends and at every turn he lost time. Woodside went t» the front and held it. beating Bell a full lap and making the miles as follows: First, 3:57; 2d, 6:07: 3d, 9:17; 4th. 12:30; sth, 15:20. On Friday evening the tw» 'cyclers will ride fifty miles. The Mercury Bicycle club will take a run to St. Paul on Thanksgiving day, leaving Armory hall at 9 o'clock. The First Plain Lecture. The first of the series of Plain Lec tures for Plain People wa3 delivered by Dr. C. H. Hewitt, at Catholic Association hall, under the auspices of the Immaculate Conception Benevolent society. A large audience was present, and the doctor's lecture, or rather talk, was decidedly Inter esting, His subject was Epidemics, but under this head the speaker included some practical remarks and suggestions for house hold sanitary measures. He urged vaccina tion, this wintei, as a precaution against the threatened visitation of small-pox, and in closing warned his hearers tkat their lives and health are in their own hands. The next lecture of the course will be delivered by Prof. Downey some time in December upon Comets and Meteors. Tbe Parnell League. Last evening the Parnell branch of the Irish National league held a large and enthusiastic meetine in Martin's hall. Ad dresses were delivered by Matt Walsh, D. B. Johnson, J. J. McHale, J. H. Steele, Dr. Collins and others, and several new members were enrolled. On motion, the president, Peter McKernan, appointed a committee of five to confer with a similar numker from the up-town league with the view of organizing a branch in East Minne apolis as soon as arrangements were made to hold a meeting in that section of the city. The Central Reading Circle. The newly organized branch of the Chautauqua circle met last evening at the Central Baptist church and completed its organization by electing W. A. Hubbell vice president and choosing the name of The Central Beading Circle, lt was de cided to hold meetings the second and fourth Tuesdays in each month. Last evening's program included an essay by Jason Hidden upon the lioruan Persecution of the Early Church, and an essay by Miss L. Y. Kimball upon the Cause of the Decline and Fall of the Koman Empire. Plans Preparing:. The Masonic temple scheme has pro gressed so far satisfactorily that Architect \Y. H. Dennis is now engaged in making sketches for preliminary use, the building committee having employed him some little time ago for that purpose. It is the inten tion of the association to push their work through early in the spring and erect a building at a cost of $150,000 that will be an ornament to the city. There has been 8100.000 of the 8150,000 stock subscribed without any special effort and without go ing outside of the fraternity. At the next regular meeting of the board the sketches of Mr. Dennis will be submitted. Held to the Grand Jury. David Crowley is the man who stole an overcoat belonging to Ernest Thiermau, who lives in Wright county, at the Ameri can house. The coat contained $17 in money and all the property was recovered. Crowley was examined in the municipal court yesterday, resulting in binding him over to the grand jury at the next term of the district court. He failed to furnish bonds in the sum of $700 and was re manded to custody. Will Manage to Get Along-. The force of waiters, porters and bell boys at the M icollet house was yesterday changed from white to black, i. c., the fes tive Ethiopian is now to attend to the wants of the patrons of the house. The change necessitated the discharge of Martinßyrnes, head porter, Dan Sullivan, head waiter, and Timothy Henessy .steward, who have been at the Nicollet for nineteen years and three months.
