CHIEF BLACK RE-ELECTED And His Assistants In the Fire De partment Reappointed— Doiugi of the Commissioners. Chief Engineer John T. Black, of the St. Paul fire department, was re-elected last night unanimously, upon Commissioner Parker's motion, for the two years commenc ing April 1. Ho then renominated for his assistants John Jackson, flrst assistant chief, and M. P. Kelliher, secoud assistant chief, which nominations were unanimously con firmed by tho board. On Commissioner Peu dergust's motion l. R. Jenkins was unani mously re-elected superintendent of fire alarm telegraph. The following bids for the now two-story brick engine bouse, corner of Ninth and Fort streets were received: Dowliug & Kuso, $17,200; William Johnston & Bro., $17 050; J. L. Rood. $17.29.">: G. H. Fletcher, $18,875; A. Ba-sford, $17,369; Henry Maltby, $17,392.71; J. F. Hedinger, $17,400; W. O. Erickson, $10,900; Romaine Sheire. $18,365; John H. Donahue, $10,475: M. P. Ryan, $15,700; Me- Sherry & White, $14,700; Dolan Bros., $17,800. The awarding of the contract was postponed until the No. 1 property on St. Peter street is sold. The information was received that Auctioneer Doherty had said the property would bring all tlio way from 526.0U0 to $28,000. The board wants to get $30,000. If a less figure than that carries off the prop erty it may be necessary to cut down the esti mated cost of the new engine house. McSherry A White are the lowest bidders. Only one bid for painting and glazing was re ceived, that of Nesbitt & Co., $472. It also was laid over. THE IXTEUrnKAN* STATION'S. Architect H. E. Hand's plans (No. 2) for the proposed engine houses at Hamline and Merriam I'ark were adopted. They repre sent very substantial and handsome looking buildings in the old English Renaissance style, With double entrance, two stories high, fifty feet wide by 110 foet deep, both to be of red brick with cream brick and brown sand stone trimmings. The new second size Silsby engine, for which the board exchanged the old No. 5 and a "boot" of $3,000 cash, was ordered to be sent here. The March pay roll amounts to $11,857.42. Tho committee on machinery will report what new fire apparatus will be needed for the year at the next meeting. No sites for new engine houses in West St. Paul have yet been selected by Commissioners Martin, Pendergast and Freeman, so the mut ter is still in their bands. It being repre sented that Engine House No. 6 wus in a con dition of rapid decay, the board decided to condemn it. When the board adjourned Chief Black celebrated his re-election by doing the hand some with a very palatable lunch in the Ryan cafe. His guests were Commissioners War ner. Parker, Prendergast. Freeman und Mar tin, Col. Emerson. Architect Hand, A. Brass ford, Assistant Chiefs Jackson and: Kelliher, and representatives of j the press.

'thrown From His Pony- and Fatally Injured. * <"' ..>.*'.' • Last night, shortly after 7 o'clock, Bert Steenstra, aged about 13 years, a mounted messenger, in the employ of tho American District Telegraph company, was riding up Fourth street on bis way to deliver bis hist message, before going to his home on Selby avenue, he collided with a pedestrian and all went down in aheap. The boy struck bis bead on one of tho rails of the street car track and sustained a fracture of the skull near the base of tho brain. He was carried into K. P. Cullen's house, corner of Fourth and Franklin streets, and Dr. Metcnlf summoned, but he lived only about twenty minutes. His father, a compositor on the Cii.btfE.'was at once notified and he proceeded to break the sad news to the mother, who was at that time attending the meeting of the Congregational club at the Plymouth church. The pedestrian, after sitting on the curbstone-- a few minutes, walked. r> away, ■ apparently uninjured. His name could not be learned. The officials of tbe District Telegraph company, as soon as they learned of the accident, proceeded at once to Mr. Cullen's house, and did everything In their power toward the relief of the grief-stricken family. The deceased had been in the em ploy of the company for some months, and the manager and his companions spoke in the highest terms of him. FROM THE WEST SIDE.

' Such is the Report of a Special Com i iuitt**ie From tlie Chamber of* Cotu { . iii**r'c:». o»» itk l i-<i g sir«e «s. . : At the meeting of the boor 1 ot directors ' of. ihe ehun_oc-r of <.<_>in.ii< r •• yesierouy, no- I tn-e ****."■ r'ffive.l that the cty had been dl- ' ' vi-c-J into -*P IC-lJuj d„trlc"s ami hi is had been advertised :for doing the -sprinkling. Mr. D. K. Noyes from the special committee reported in .*",' matter of tho mining ex change. He Slid that though the commit tee does not approve of the establishment here of a raerot.lning exchange, it believes, however, thaftfels is iho place, and probably tho time lor the establishment under the best and most conservative influences of a general stock exchange, including, of course, mining stocks for the • Northwest, and , that the need of such an exchange is a growing one. A number of corporate ■ stocks originated in St. Paul, and others are largly owned and controlled here. St. Paul Is the financial and commercial capital of the Northwest and the only place in it for such an exchange. While the chamber of commerce cannot take the initiative In the matter, the establishment of a conservative and general stock exchange in St. Paul will meet its hearty approval. Tho report was adopted. The Trades and Labor Assembly of St. Paul sent in a communication asking iv substance that the St. Paul chamber of com merce should use its influence to have tho contructs . for tbe plumbing, gas-fitting and steam apparatus for the new court bouse done In St. Paul, and the same was referred to tbo committee on court bouse. A resolu tion that the council be requested to order the sprinkling of Seventh street, from Earl to Victoria street, also all the streets on tbo ter ritory bounded by and including the follow ing portions of streets, viz: Third street, Hoffman avenue. Cherry street, Maria avenue, Westminster, Somerset, Thirteenth, Jackson, Cedar. Viola, Rice. Igle hart, Kent, Lincoln, Ramsey, Sherman, Franklin and Eagle streets, around Irvine park, and University, (Homo, Western and Pleasant avenues, excepting such streets, if any, in the northwestern part of the territory as should, in the judgment of said council, be omitted. The president reported that at a meeting of the perpetual members held on the 24th inst. it was resolved that certificates' of indebted ness of the chamber of commerce to the amount of $15,000 be issued for the purpose of taking up the floating debt of the chamber, the certificates to be 150 in number of $100 each, and to bear 7 per cent, per annum in terest, to be signed by the president and re corder of tho chamber, to bear the corporate seal of the chamber, and that each perpetual member De requested to take one. Accom panying the president's report was a commu nication from Peter Berkey, the treasurer, stating that the certificates were ready and asking the perpetual members to come for ward and take them. "K1EN7.1." A Grand Production of Miss itlit ford's Tragedy by Lawrence Bar rett and His Efficient Company— A Superb Stage Setting-- I he Au dience Large, Critical and En thusiastic, Both as regards its dramatic and its spec tacular effects Lawrence Barrett's produc tion of "Rienzi" is the acme of stage art. The drama itself is a masterpiece of tragic work, deserving to stand alongside with Shakespeare's productions, and in some re spects superior to "Richelieu" and "Fran cesca." In bis revival of "Rienzi'* Mr. Bur rett has paid due regard to the modern taste for scenic display. The play is beautifully mounted, being the most gorgeous stage set ting that has ever been seen in this city. The chief scenes are a view of Roman ruins in the first act. the Tribune's palace iv tbo second, and the banquet hull aud the cathedral in the third and fourth acts. In his impcrsounation of "Rienzi" the Tribune, Mr. Barrett has a part which is unquestionably bis crowning achievement. It is a complex character, which requires the highest ability to give a successful interpretation, but is so admir ably adapted to Mr. Barrett's methods that he seems to have been born into it. It was a large aud critical . audience that Mr. Barrett played to last night. With tho characteristic "caution of a St. Paul audience, there was nothing dem onstrative until the convincing pi-oof of gen uine merit in both the play and the actor was given. There was ample demonstration of this before tho first act was concluded, and when the curtain dropped the first time there was an ovation. From that lime ou until the conclusion of the performance there was an enthusiasm which is seldom seen in a St. Paul theater, and which was not exceeded even during Edwin Booth's engagement In this city. Mr. Barrett was called before the curtain twice at the conclusion of each net, and as many as four times at the end of the third net. Miss Gale, whose imper sonation of Claudia is a charming piece of dramatic work, aud Mr. Woiles, who plays Augeio with an intelligent conception of the part, were the recipients of frequent ap plause. The other members of the company did good work. The music, both in tbe mag nificent bridal scene and iv the equally su perb cathedral setting, was well rendered. The supernumeries and the madrigal boys ac quitted themselves with credit, aud it is sel dom that a tirst night's performance moves off as smoothly as the one last evening The costuming was magnificent The samo per formance to-night.

A Number of Improvements Ordered ••No Damages to Be Assessed For moving the slaughter Houses From the Seventh Ward. At the meeting of the Board of Public Works yesterday the clerk was directed to give first notice to property owners for a a change of grade on the following streets: Twelfth, from Jackson to Minnesota: Sum mit avenue, from Dale to Lexington; Mag nolia, from De Soto to Bradley; Eighth, from Jackson to Minnesota; George, from State to Livingston; Ducas, from George to Dearborn; Robert, from Eighth to Central avenue. The board will report favorably on the grading of Erie street, from Bant.l to Ran dolph: the engineer's estimate of cost for the 4,740 lineal feet being $6,900. The board will also favor the opening of Western aveuue north to city limits; opening Uelvidere from Hall avenue to South Robert. Tho report of the city attorney as to the power of the board to assess damages for tho removal of the slaughtering establishments from the Seventh ward, advised that if any nuisances existed from the slaughtering establishments they should be abolished by order of the health commissioner. The order was re turned to the council with this reeohitnenda tidh. Property owners on the line of the proposed change of grade on Sixth between Broadway and John, will have a hearing be fore the board at a special session on Thurs day evening, March 311 A hearing will be given interested parties in the matter of grading Stryker avenue, from Annapolis to Louisa streets on Friday, April 1. . CONGREGATIONAL. CLUB. Au Evening Devoted to the Discus sion of Keratins Church Pews. The March meeting of the Congregational club was held last evening in the parlors of the Plymouth church. Early in the evening a supper was served by the ladies of the church, after which the meeting was called to order and It. F. Hawley, Esq,, of Minneap olis, read the paper of the evening on the subject of "Church Finances." He said one half the time of most congregations was spent In divising methods to raise the church debt. Ho discountenanced the system of pew rent ing a. ono which gave the renter a feeling of proprietorship, which was embarrassing to strangers.. He thought the system of pledges preferable. After tho reading of Mr. Haw ley's paper, the subject was open for discus sion. Judge Woods, of Minneapolis, thought the system of fret seats was unsatisfactory. He was a firm believer in i* strict system of bookkeeping, the sumo as ip business life. He looked for co-operation among churches whereby the number of churches would be reduced in small towns. H. H. Hart spoke of the system now in use in one of tho churches of Cleveland. There the pledge system had been adopted, and it bad proven satisfactory. George R. Dickinson, of the Atlantic Congregational church, was in favor of the pledge system. Under Jt bis church had become self-supporting. Rev. L, W. Campbell, of Minneapolis, also favored the subscription plan. He said that there wore men who wanted their preaching for noth ing, and those were the men who most needed the preaching, and he wanted to get them to come to church. Sir, cribble Denies It. 1 Edwin Cribble came to the Globe office yesterday and denied the statement that he has been wont to visit tho Stillwater peni tentiary as often as once in two weeks for the purpose of consulting the convicts in secret. He says he has probably been there as often as twice in cis months for purpose of con sulting clients, and this be has always done in the committee room in the presence of witnesses. Once, be claims, he went to a 1 woman's cell who was sick, but wus accom panied by the matron. He said that be had •THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE.

ROTUNDA RIFF-RAFF, j Men Who Were Met in the Corridors, and '■'■ By-Ways of St. Paul Hotels 7 Yesterday. - ' How Ex-Gov. Gil Pierce Slipped Into a v ; Nice, Little Cosy Nest Lined ... • With Silver. John 1). Lawler, of Mitchell, Stands a Good Show of Being J) ext Ter "-'.; ritorial Treasurer. A New J'ecipe for clothing Bleak and Barren Sculps With Luxuriant . Raven Locks.. Dr. Collins came in from the East yoster day and wrote his name on the Merchants register. Dr. Collins is a citizen of Grand Forks, aud was a member of the territorial council during tho last session. He has not been homo since the legislature adjourned, but has spent his time regaining bis strength in the East .and in and around St. Paul and Minneapolis. The doctor unbosomed him self regarding things political, and said that while Maj. Edwards was a social king and tho prince of good fellows in bis opinion, be was not the man who would suit the people for the position of public examiner, and be thought Gov. ' Church • took the right step when be. withdrew bis name from tho coun cil and substituted that of E. S. Tyler. ; The doctor was the father of the railroad bill that was found . to be missing on tho last night of the session, and charges wore made ou the floor in the, heated debate that followed tho discovery that he bad beeen induced to with draw It, and it could be found in the bottom of his wile's trunk, In regard to this the doctor isn't saying a word. Grand Forks got within about $7,000 of the appropriations she asked, and ho is comparatively happy. ; ;^'-* : - ••'*• .v. ;■■:■• During the run of conversation, Dr. Collins gave it out that ex-Gov. Gil Pierce was elected president of the Grand Forks uni versity, as intimated by the ('lobe, before the legislature adjourned. The election of the ex-governor had : actually taken . place by the old board of trustees, and needed only to be ratified by the new board, which would probably do so without a dissenting voice. This will make a very soft nest for the ex governor to lie down in. as Dr. Collins said when the bill providing for the appropriation for the maintenance of the university was drawn up, it-was calculate. l that $3,000 per year would be devoted to tho payment of President Pierces salary. . This was with tho understanding that the ex-governor should remove his family from Bismarck to Grand Forks, r and this, the doctor says, Pierce had agreed to do. It is intimated that the ex governor, in connection with bis duties as president of the North Dakota university, will perform some newspaper work, and that the headquarters of the Dakota department of the daily paper that he represents will be taken from Bismarck to Grand Forks, which is a great distance from the news center of that territory. It is claimed that Mr. Pierce is drawing a salary of $3,000 per annum from the paper he represents, for the column and a quarter of double. . leaded brevier editorial paragraphs .; tbat he fur nishes it a week, and this salary, coupled with the emolument of the university president's oflice, will give him an income that will enable him to live sumptuously. Outside of his regular income, it is hinted that the citizens of Grand Forks will contrlb nte liberally to his exchequer if he will make his journalistic headquarters in that city. It is the general impression that the wbilom governor of Dakota is bent on laying up treasures for himself on earth and will use his newspaper representation to further his ends financially and politically. . -V 7" There is much speculation as to who will be the next treasurer of Dakota, among, the Da kotans now stopping in the city and among these men the subject is. one of interesting discussion. Some .have the impression that ex-Treasurer Raymond will be re-appointed, but this is not , the opinion of the majority who express themselves . on the subject. In conversation with. a Globe representative yesterday a prominent citizen . of tho territory said that, in his estimation, the most promising man * for that office was John D. Lawler. of Mitchell. Mr. Lawler was a member of tbe lust council, and is an active - Democrat. .. He, is a banker, represents the interests of the Milwaukee road, in which his father is a heavy stockholder, and is a thor ough businessman. In the last legislature Mitchell got the cold shoulder. In her at tempt to get the United States court from Yankton she was badly defeated, and it was a noticeable . fact that whilt Mentzer, tne Mitchell representative in the house, fought tooth and nail for this measure, and carried it. through his branch of the legislature. Law let-, sat in the council with no more apparent interest.in the issue than . that evinced by the most careless spec-tutor in the lobby. .In his selection, for treasurer, Dakota's new gov ernor could hardly make an appointment that would be more satisfactory to represen tative Democrats and the people of tho terri tory at large than John D. Lawler. He is a brother of W. D. Lawler, assistant United States district attorney of St. Paul, and a son-in-law of Gen. Sturgis, now retired from service. ** ■.";"'": : - '■' ■ -.'.•',■.'.'>"."," *„* City Attorney Dodge, of Jamestown, Dak. has been in the city several days, quartered at the Clarendon, accompanied by Mrs. Dodge and the babies. Mr. Dodge was one or the most active members of the territorial coun cil and got mixed up in several hard battles with much older heads than his, but he never failed to come out on the top of the heap. Ho won the title, of Adonis by his gentlemanly manners and Apollo Belvidere figure. Dodge went there to guard the .interests of the Jamestown insane asylum, and be came away with his hair full of plumes and honors heaped high. upon him. Ho secured the big gest appropriations ' made and had tbe su preme satisfaction of getting every cent he asked for.' This disgruntled some of the less successful petitioners for territorial funds, and they charged Dodge With getting a foot bold in the favor of the governor by promis ing bim that he would stand by bim through thick and thin if he would give him what money he asked for for tho Jamestown asylum. However this may be, Dodge got there, and came away from Bismarck with brighter colors than any other member of toe council. On the night that Dr. Stewart tried to pass his ■ soldiers' home bill over the gov ernor's veto, Dodge was. fast asleep in his chair when the clerk called for his vote. The clerk yelled his name twice but Dodge. refused to wake up and the bill was lost. As soon as the vote was counted and the governor's veto declared sustained. Dodge lifted bis head, rubbed his eyes and said, to tbe councilinen near him: ''Boys, let's have a bottle of wine on tho Jimtown". appropriation." They had the wine. Mr. Dodge and his family left for home lust night. -y.- " - ." -v** ." 7,7.. Cashier Mac Donald, of the Ryan, is home from Chicago where ho has been for the past few days whetting his appetite on the lake breezes. Mac now wears long hair of raven j hue, that covers bis head in a thick, curly orop. Last summer he had a habit of wear- | ing his hair closely clipped and a large round spot of baldness was noticeable on tbe top of his head. This spot gave the daper cashier considerable uneusiness especially when he was obliged ' to rouse "around in tne presence of ladies.". Hair invigorators and couxers he used in unlimited quantities, without the desired effect, and he wa • about to give up in despair, when ono day a guest advised him -to use gin nnd salt. Anxious to get a growth of hair, he tried it. and when two months later the guest askod him if he had tried the gin and suit, he said yes, but it was the d— — st stuff he ever drunk. ■ "■'"-- At this tbe guest fell down on a settee and laughed till ho perspired: . ' ••What's the matter with you?" inquired Mao, '•Why you don't want to drink it," said the -est between gasps, "bathe your head in it, ruo it into your sculp. Did you think drink- ■ ing gin and salt would make hair grow on the top of your head?" •' r ' Still ambitious Mac applied the gin and salt to his bleak and barren scalp, and as a result be now bus a wonderfully fine crop. of silken hair. •■ .'■-■■ Yesterday a traveling man. whose hair had thinned out considerably and who had not seen Mac since last summer when his hair was short, came up to the Ryan register, and shaking hands with Mac, drew him off to one side and said in a low tone: ':-", j ;•; ''.Where did you get it, Mac? I want one just like it and 1 don't care a d— n how much it costs, either." . '•What do you mean?" inquired Mao. "Why. that head of hair. It's the most natural looking wig I ever saw." Those, two men now converse with each other in monosyllables and when Mac sees the traveling man coining his way, he chews his gum with more than ordinary emphasis. Slugged and Stabbed.
