Commissioner Andrews occupied the chair at last night's meeting of the water board. A Dumber of petitions were read and referred. Collins Homer asked for a permit to make a three-inch connection corner of Fourth street and First avenue north. Referred to the committee on ex tensions with power to act. A. M. Dale asked for a rebate on the water rent in the block 310, Hennepin avenue. Referred to the committee on claims. Like matters were given to the same reference. S. D. Rollins was granted a leave of absence from his post at the East side pumping station. The superintendent reported the following amounts due on estimates on pipe laying contracts, and warrants were author ized drawn for the respective amounts designated. John Gleason& Co *!♦* 25 Fred Youngren 159 84 A. J. Dolan 168 26 Proposals for laying water mains as fol lows, were opened: Fred Youngren, Chi cago avenue, from Twenty-fourth to Thir tieth streets, 23% cents per foot; Hennepin avenue, from Groveland to Thirty-third streets. 29fi cents per foot: Sibley street, from Eleventh avenue northeast to Thir teenth street, 74>0 cents per foot: Henne pin avenue, from Sixteenth street to Oak Grove street, 32 cents p»r foot; Second avenue north, from Washington to Third street, 74 cents per foot; Stevens avenue, from Sixteenth to Seventeenth streets. 27 cents per foot; Broadway, from Jefferson to Adams streets, 69 cents per foot.

Lougren & Desy, Chicago avenue, from Twenty fourth street to Thirtieth, street, 32 cents per foot. A FIBEBRAND. It was moved that the bids be referred to the committee on extensions. This called Commissioner Glenn to his feet to enter an earnest protest against the methods of the office of the water board. His remarks proved a firebrand, and brought Commis sioner Foote to the floor to antagonize *he proposition ennunciated by Commissioner Glenn. "Bight here," said Col. Glenn, "I would like to ask a pertinent question: What right have we, as business men, to require con tractors to put their bids into this office at 12 o'clock noon, when the board does not meet until 7:30 o'clock in the evening? Should these bids lay in the superintendent's office seven and one-half hours? Contractors have come to me and complained of such proceed ings. They say that they would not put a bid in and have it lie in the superintendent's office. Three bids only have been opened here to-night. It strikes me forcibly that three bids are a very small number for a city of this size." Commissioner Foote could see no objec tion to the system in vogue. He said no one opened bids but the water commissioners themselves. He was surprised at the re marks made by Col. Glenn. He had heard of no such complaints. Commissioner Glenn As a contractor I deprecate the principle. It is a queer pro ceeding. And there is another matter I wish to mention. Later on I propose to introduce a resolution here to the effect that all pro ceeding of this board sba'.l be officially pub lished the same as the council proceedings. It will tend to relieve this office of the sus picion that now is cast upon it. Of the three contractors who told me they would not bid, one has submitted a proposal When that proposal was received I have no means of knowing. One of these men openly charged to me that his bid had been tam pered with in the superintendent's office, and If it .is desired I can give the name of the contractor. Commissioner Foote — I move again that these proposals be referred to the committee on construction. I hopefif anyjone has a com plaint to make he will have the manhood to come before this board to make it. It is not worth while for this board to take cognizance of any complaint made in a private office. Commissioner Glenn — Has not a complaint been made to you? Commissioner Foote [ had been given to understand that complaint had been made to some one besides me, and I am free to say as a member of this board that the method prac ticed, is not a proper way to do the city's business. Commissioner Farnham — A man cam© to me and said he would not put in a bid. He spoke poor English and I paid no attention to what he said. Commissioner Glenn here introduced his resolution to have the proceedings officially published in a paper in the city. Commis sioner Foote had no particular objection to making everything public, but urged that the reporters took down .the full proceed ings. Commissioner Glenn informed Mr. Foote that newspapermen only published such things as are of interest to the readers of their papers. Commissioner Foote then amended the resolution so that a com mittee of three be appointed to make a specific contract with a city paper, and as amended the resolution was adopted. The chair appointed Commissioners Glenn, Foote and Farnham as such committee. Then Commissioner Foote took occasion in a spirited speech to call up the matter of complaints made against any official of the board, and moved that any one having com plaints to make in the future should come before the board. Commissioner Glenn — The idea is prepos terous. It is foolish, and lam surprised that a man of the ability of the gentleman from the Fifth ward should make such an absurd motion. I hope the gentleman will withdraw such a schoolboy motion. Commissioner Foote— l don't want to be bothered with these complaints, but I believe as men we should investigate them. We hear of stree t rumors. Let them come here and we will investigate all complaints. Commissioner Farnham— Make it that he be requested to come before the board to make complaints and I will second the motion. CommissiODerFoote— That he be requested. The motion prevailed. Contractor A. W. Anderson appeared be fore the board to have his claim adjusted. He stated that in laying the pipe on Jeffer son street northeast, he had to lay the pipe in six or seven feet of water instead of dry earth, as contemplated in the proposal and contract. Commissioner Glenn— ls there any con tractor who has not a similar claim? Engineer Waters— l thiuk they all have such complaints. Commissioner Glenn— l think the trouble is the contractors have cut down on their price, with the expectation that this board will coo> erously allow their claims. The business of the board being done, Supt. Henion said: Gentlemen: Somethings have been said to-night which should have not Ix-eu said. Reticctioa has been east on mo. I believe this board is able to run Its own business without any one casting slurs. Commissioner Glenn here stated for the in formation of Supt. Henion that DO slurs had beta cast, but that a specific charge had been made, and that the contractor making the complaint was Fred Youugien. That is, he is one of the men. "Are you satisfied?" lie asked. Henion — 1 am satisfied." The board then adjourned. POLITICAL tiOSSIP. Anti-Saloon publicans—Scandi navian Oeiuorrulii— Local <-os*i[>. At the West, hotel, this afternoon, will be held a meeting of Republicans from var ious parts of the state, that may and may not be of great moment. The meeting will consider the advisability of representing Minnesota Republicans at the anti-saloon convention to be held in Chicago next Thursday. In response to the circular in vitation, some sixty affirmative replies have been received, and, in all probability, forty or fifty prominent members of the party will be present. The movement does not meet with favor among the politicians of the party, who see nothing but political trouble ahead, and say only church mem bers of the party are interested. The Pro hibitionists laugh at the plan, as temporiz ing with a great question, without meeting it squarely. SCANDINAVIAN DEMOCRATS. The Democratic Scandinavian club is looming up as a prominent organization, and its leaders say it will have a member ship iv a mouth of over twenty-live thou sand. The claim is made that in the cities of the state most of the Scandinavians are becoming Democrats, and the feeling is working its way largely in the farming re gions. In a speech delivered to the club on Wednesday evening, Evert Nymanover made use of the following language: ■•We have called you together, gentle men, is for the purpose of discussing the sit uation candidly and as fellow-citizens. There are great issues at stake. lam here to speak to you in behalf of the laboring class, espec ially the Scandinavian. Shall we side with the Republican or ttie Democratic party? that's the question. Shalfcwe have the Scan dinavian clement honored and respected vi- a vis the other elements that make up the stswo of Minnesota? We are a working people in the full sense of that word, and we want justice. The Democratic party is the people's party, only I should like to see it punned and exalted to a grand workingaien's party. But it will bo that finally. Go out on the railroads. Are there any of the free-made negroes working there? Xo, but we find lots of Swedes, Danes, Nor wegians and others working on such works; they have to stand the hardships of the Amer ican culture. It is the Scandinavians who have made and embellished the very city we now live in. It is the Scandinavians who firry the destiny of the great Western metropolis iv their hanrf. only it ii necessary they be made conscious thereof, nud that they stand or fall together. Wo have yet liberty to shape the march of development in our city and state; shall we do it? Yes, countrymen. And we shall do it, not for the sate of foul interests to a moneyed class, but for the sake of glory and justice and truth; for the sake of labor and its interests. The Republican party made a great achievement when establishing political liberty to all. But it sounds very harsh, indeed, to speak of political liberty and at the same time have social slavery in our midst. It will be the glorious future of the Democratic party to abolish that, and establish social liberty on the foundation of a purified and baptized Democracy. Let us help that party, gentlemen. There is not a very great differ ence now between a Democratic and a Re publican regime, but in the long run you will see a difference quite surprising. I am a Democrat and a social Democrat; I have made of the principles of Democracy a religion. Do you the same. It is necessary, if the modern Democracy shall ever ac complish its great task, I can tell you. lam serious and lam honest. lam so because I have learned that honesty before anything else will stand the tims longest." That is about all Mr. Nymanover said. The speech made a deep impression, and had for its im mediate consequence a rush for application to be members of the club. Sixty-five new members were announced by the chairman, Mr. Hand. The impromptu speeches of Capt. Swenson, Messrs. Harbitz. Anderson, Ericson and Dahl were heartily received, and the meeting was a very enthusiastic one, in fact a significant "alga of the times." The next meeting of the club will be Wednesday evening, same place and hour. POLITICAL NOTES. J. T. Wyman and D. M. Clough are rival candidates for senatorial honors in the Twenty-eighth district. S. A. Chaso is loom ing up as a Democratic candidate, and E. J. L'Herault is also mentioned. Mayor Ames — I would not take a nomina tion that required a iiu'ht to secure it, or that would create a split in the party. "Rambler" has written another political article for the Globe, but it contains too many sarcasms for publication. Freeman P. Lane is mentioned a probable senatorial candidate from thß Iwe nty-ninth, to represent K. B. Lunsr'ion. Considerable surprise was manifested at th« printed statement that Dr. John T. Lee voted for rilalne in IS3I. All of the county conventions but three have pronounced for Ames, and none of them them have opposed him. William Heury Eastis seems to be losing prestige with his party. Twice he has been defeated i n caucus. William Gunderson has received an "in dorsement." He was elected a delegate on Wednesday night- Frank Davis is doing some lively campaign ing just now, and is sure of a renoimnatlon. It is a part of the ring programme to nomi nate Scott for probate judge over Giddings. GARKOTEKS AKIIJBSTED. Four Ilijjliw.tv Kobbers Who "Turned a. Trick" in Minneapolis Arrested in Anoka. Special to the Globe. Axoka, Minn., Sept. 9. — Four sluggers were captured ill this city last evening, af ter doing up a couple of young men in North Minneapolis and robbing them of a revolver and about 58 in money. The youug men were named Joseph and Thomas Young, and were brothers, from James town, Ind., en route to Helena, Mont. They were waiting at the junction for the Northern Pacific passenger train, when four tramps pitched into them with the above result. They saw the tramps board a freight for Anoka and sent word by the conductor of the passenger to have them arrested here. The tramps made such a desperate resistance that two of them got away, but were recaptured at Elk River. The police of Minneapolis were notified and Detective Lawrence came up after the thugs and will take them back on the early train tomorrow morning. The Young brothers came up to the city to-day and identified the two tramps under arrest as the parties who made the assault. CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. Detective Kin? anil Officer Yolk Arrest Two Alleged lit if h way nicii. Tuesday evening Theodore Betts, an old Grand A^iny man. was held up and robbed of S63.soand a silver watch and chain, out on Lake street near the L & M. railroad crossing. Detective Kins was put on the case as soon as it was reported, and yester day morning, thinking he had located his men, enlisted the services of Officer Yolk, and the two started out. Late in the after noon they arrested H. S. Smith and J. W. Lockwood, comprising the scavanger firm of Smith & Lockwood. and took them be \ fore Mr. Betts, who. the officers say, fully identified them as the men who had robbed him. The men were taken to the lock-up, where they were confined. Both men took the matter very coolly. ' "When we pinched them," remarked De tective King, "they at once weakened and wanted to know if the matter could not be settled in some way. Guess they must have planted the stuff they got."

The clerks in the oflice of the district court spent considerable time in searching for the records of a marriage license said to have been issued June 5, to Mil comb McKillop and Annette llcßain, but failed most dismally to find any clue to it. The records are necessary to prove title to an estate of several thousand dollars left by P. B. Mcßain, an old resident of the East side, and the author of "The Ghost of the Winsldw House." which appeared in a Minneapolis paper in I!>7'2, and unless they can be found his daughter, Mrs. An netta McKillop, will be unable to leave anything to her children. The lady who was in search of the records is a friend of Mrs. McKillop, and tells the following story; In June, 1569, Malcomb McKillop, applied at the clerk's office for a license to wed the fair Annette. As she was under Ego he was told that her father's consent was necessary. Mr. Mv'litiin came and gave his consent, aud £.:»• license was issued ar.d the marriage oc curred at St. Paul a little later, Justice Bur naud. now dead, performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Killop removed to Chicago, where, during the great tire there, the li | cense was destroyed. Some years ago Mr. and Mrs McKillop removed to Aberdeen, Dak., where Mr. McKillop died in 1834. Mrs. McKiilop is now very low with consumption, and in rather poor circumstances. To Obtain tbe property which her father left she will be obliged to produce the proof of her mttrringe. Unless she can do this the property will full into other bauds, and her children will get nothing. The Comiu; Orphan*' Fair. The directors of the Catholic Orphan asylum held a special meeting last eveuing at the residence of Father McGolrick, to make preparations for the orphans' fair, which is to be held in Harmon hall dur ing the week commencing Monday, Sept 2is. Father MeGulrick reported that the lady solicitors of his parish hud been quite successful in obtaining donations and sub scriptions for the fair, and that the Cru saders and other societies connected with his church are taking an active interest in the matter. He was sanguine that the fair would prove a most gratifying success, and that it would realize a handsome sum to liquidate the indebtedness of I the new orphanage now drawing to completion. Among those who contrib uted valuable articles for the fair are the Kennedy Bros., who donated a tine breech loading gun, and Frank Dailey, who pre sented the ladies with an elegant gold watch. The Father Matthew society gave a beautiful statue of St. Joseph, to be com peted for by a popular lady from each par ish. The members of the board of directors took about five hundred tickets last evening for distribution among their friends. The holders of these tickets are entitled to a grand prize drawing, consisting of six prizes, as follows: First prize, $100 in gold; second prize, a beautiful organ; third prize, a valuable tea set; fourth prize, a handsome French time piece; fifth prize, a tine writing desk, and sixth prize, a grand fur overcoat. The winning, numbers will be declared and published in the daily papers on Friday, October 8. The new orphan asylum entails an expense of about $35,000, and as children from all parts of the dio cese will be admitted within its walls, it is expected that the gentleman who will be appointed by the board and bearing a let ter from Bishop Ireland, will receive a generous reception throughout the state. Next Monday the board will leave in a body the residence of Father McGolrick to visit the new asylum. On Wednesday the orphans will visit the Exposition in a body and th^ir fare will be paid by Win. Regan, who will also treat them to a luncheon in the building. • — The Sixth Minnesota. The veterans of Company D, Sixth Min nesota regiment, have formed an associa tion of which 11. E.

Doing* of Ladles' Day-Next Week's Programme. a'j . % iK Yesterday was Ladles' day at the Expo sition. The weather was decidedly bad for that exhibition of apparel for which ladies usually take pleasure in venturing oat, and it wits feared a small attendance would re sult.

Mr. Bradford assisted in the reception, which was entirely informal, and presented the hundreds of visitors who catuo in. Both gentlemen seem never to tire talkiug of the wonderland which has been the sepulchre of so many brave fellows, and there was yesterday no lack of interar-ted auditors.
