MINNEAPOLIS NEWS. A Banquet to the Company of the People's— Newsboys Remembered. The Hastings & Dakota Track Matter—A New Proposi tion Made. A Portion of Its Lot to Be Sold by the K. of L. Build ing Association. Taxing The Exposition Im provements—The New Postal Stations. THE PEOPLE'S. Hie Attaches of the Theater Ban queted—The Newsboys' Treat. The liberal policy of the management ■if the People's theater was yesterday attested by two incidents which were somewhat out of the usual run. In the afternoon 300 newsboys, who had been supplied with tickets by the Evening Journal, witnessed the production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Some of the boys brought their sisters with them, md these were accorded seats in the dress circle. The other "kills," how ever, were consigned to the gallery. nnd. judging from the vociferous wav in which they applauded, enjoyed the niece hugely.* Marks, the lawyer, and Uncle Tom, were the favorites, and their expressions of approval and the j manifestations of dislike for Simon ; Legree were quite decided. It was a peat treat for the boys, and the audi ence took as much interest in their en- j joyment as in the play itself. After*' "♦ ! nee a banouet was ten- tiered the at taches of the theater an d members of the press by the management of the Windsor house. Fifty eight covers were laid, and at the head of the long table sat Lambert [lays and Man- ! ager Sterling, with members of the dramatic company on either side. j An elaborate menu was discussed.There * were do speeches, owing to the fact that the banquet took place between two performances, when time was short, and Manager Sterling did not give the recipients of hospitality an opportuity to express the thanks that ate voiced in the following card: In behalf of the members of the dramatic company and all the attacbees of the Peo ple's theater we thank Manager Sterling and Mr. Hays for the repast served for us at the Windsor house Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 27, and in return we wish them many happy years of unexampled prosperity. The splen did dinner, coupled with the fact that we have played to the four largest consecutive houses ever seen in Minneapolis at popular prices, should, indeed, swell with pride the hearts of nil persons employed at this popu lar family resort. .in- Harrisox, Stage Manager, Chas. A. Parker, Press Agent. A NKW PROPOSITION In the H. * I). Tracks Matter Oc- casioned Ity the Extra Depth. The time-worn Hastings & Dakota track question came up yesterday morn ing at the city lull, and for three long hours representatives of the city and of the railroad wrangled with the matter. Among those present at the meeting were Aid. Cloutier, Cooley and Gibson, of the council railroad committee; Gen eral Superintendent .1. T. Clark, Assist ant General Superintendent Case. At torney AY. 11. Harris, and Eugene Rhome, of the Milwaukee road, and Eugene M. Wilson and Ed A. Stevens, of the park board. Aid. Cooley, as soon as tin* meeting was called to order, made a concise statement of what had been done, and what the railroad com mittee ought to do in agreeing on the compromise proposed by the aldermen of the various wards. Sup!, Clark de clared that it would cost about $40,000 more to lower the tracks the ex tra two feet, demanded by the last project, and therefore hie was not favorable to it. Aid. Cooley replied that the people in the vicinity, who wanted some _(KM«ki yards of earth, would no doubt help in taking it away. Supt. Clark said that half of the right of way could be lowered partially and the tracks laid on that grade, and then the other half could be lowered, repeat ing this until the desired grade was ob lined. Aid. Cloutier brought tip the matter of the bridges by saying he would object to any only eighteen foot roadway bridges. Supt. Clark announced that he was willing twenty-four feet the mini mum, providing the city would do he same. As regarded side-tracks.however, the matter of putting them in was to be left entirely to the managers of the road. At the' close of the confer ence, the points embodied in the new proposition ere reviewed as follows: The city is to vacate certain parts of Twenty-ninth street: to permit a tem porary track to go along Twenty-ninth street to carry the road's business while the work is going on; to agree to pro vide drainage by sewerage for the basin in which the track ran; and to pay half the cost of grading, not to exceed $73,000. The railroad is to put the tracks an average of two feet lower that an first agreed; to build alijof its bridges for eighty-foot streets with thirty-six-foot roadway, and for nar rower streets with twenty-four-foot roadway, provided the city does the same; to allow the city to take out of its right of way not to exceed half of the whole amount of dirt to be taken out. and allow the city a credit thereon .nt the rate per yard it costs the road to take tie rest out/provided that the work is to be done under the road's direction. If the city can take out 200,000 yards of dirt, as Aid. Cooley says, it would lessen the cost to the city rom $33,000 to $43,000. If this proposition is accented, the work will be begun and finished next summer. PUACTICALLT CONSUMMATED The K. of __ Building Association Sells a Portion of Its Lot. The Knights of Labor Building asso ciation has for several months past con templated selling that portion of its lot at the corner of Eighth avenue and Fourth street south not occupied by the building, for the purpose of raising funds. Yesterday a conference was held at the office of L. R. Thian, in Temple court, between repre sentatives of the association and certain 'prominent .business-** men, 'at which the transfer of the lot, which is 66x185 feet in dimensions, fronting on Eighth avenue, was practically agreed upon for the consideration of $10,000, with the understanding that the asso ciation shall have the privilege of re purchasing within a certain, term of V-™ StSpifcS to lie established by dls liiieresiC-.', appraisers. .SHOULD IT UK TAXED. The Exposition Wants Its Im provements Exempted. At tlie meeting of the council commit tee M public grounds a long communi cation was sent in by the directors of the exposition building, asking that the assessments for certain improvements made on the exposition, amounting to some $48,000, be abated. E. M. Wilson presented the matter for the exposition, He did not think it right that a public j benefit of the character of the exposi tion should be taxed for such improve ments, and made the point that when the improvements were made the prop erty was really owned by the city, and therefor could not be taxed. City At torney Smith said that it appeared to him that the city was only holding the grounds in trust for the Exposition asso- I ciation, until such time as the building should be completed. A discussion fol loweJ in aegard to this point, and opin ions were passed by nearly all present. When asked tor his legal opinion in re gard to the matter the city attorney said that he could not give it until he had examined all the papers in the matter. The committee adjourned to Saturday f ternoon, at 1 o'clock. CENTRAL. BAPTIST CHURCH. Its Annual Meeting;, an Interest ing* One, Held East Evening. Owing to the severity of the weather last evening there was not a large at tendance at the annual meeting of the Central Baptist Church association held at the church parlors, but those present manifested a great deal of inter est in the proceedings, which were of « onsiderable importance. ; The election of officers resulted j as follows: Deacons William Hamilton, ; and Jason Hidden; deaconesses, Mrs. T. ; K. Hughes for three years; Miss Flor | ence Gaboon for two years, and Mrs. .1. T. Barnum for one year: trustees, A. F. Gale for three years, anti T. 1). Whitney for two years; clerk, Jason Hidden; superintendent of the Sunday school, J. T. Barnum. It was reported that a can vass itad been made among the servant girls in the locality of the church and it was found that out of 230 all but ten were members of some church. The re port of the treasurer showed the church to be in excellent financial condition, and that there is money now in the treasury. The receipts for the year amounted to *?4,5>>0.84 and the disburse ments to $9,343.17. There is now due on assessments something like §500. i The trustees presented an estimate call ! ing for $5,489 for the church expenses j tin; ensuing year. The board of dea i eons sent in a recommendation that I three deaconesses be elected to serve on | the board of deacons. The report was I adopted. The Branch Postoffices. The establishment of four suburban postoffices, which is soon to be an ac complished fact, will be a matter of con siderable moment to the outlying dis tricts. An effort is being made to ate them where they will do the great | est good to * the greatest num \ ber, but thus far onl one— that for : the West end— has been designated. ; There was a rather lively light between j Twenty-sixth and Thirty-first streets, ion Nicollet, but the latter was I given the place by Postmaster i Ankeny, and very wisely, too. At I the junction of the three motor | branches, it is the center of the large and growing territory of the Eighth and : Thirteenth "wards. The other offices i will be in the north, south and east j ends, respectively, but Mr. Ankeny has l not recommended the location. These | branch offices, to lie designated as sta j tions A. I!. (' and 1). will be postoffiC' s for all purposes, and not mere stamp de positories ami letter b ixes. A Correction. In the Globe's Christmas annual, un der the feature article on "Bower of Money." an error inadvertently ap peared in the write-up of the Scandia bank by saying that Mons Grinager was president, whereas it should have read "R. Sunde, president, and Mons Grina ger vice president," as per correction of the annexed article: THE SCANDIA HANK | has gained a wide popularity among th * representatives of Norway anil Sweden, not only in the Twin Cities. but throughout the Northwest. It oc cupies its own building at the intersec tion of Cedar avenue and Fourth street.

Boylan, the pro prietor of a warehouse, brought by Mrs. Belle Chambers, was dismissed in the municipal court yesterday upon the motion of the county attorney. Mrs. Chambers claimed Boylan appropriated furniture belonging to her left with him for storage to his own use and re fused to give it up. she was accom- I panied by a fortune teller, who claimed j to have located the goods through the ! power of divination. The ease of George Baker, arrested upon a peace warrant sworn out by James Chanibels, who claimed Baker threatened his wife's life, was also dis missed. IX MERRY OPERA.

Miss Huntington was the star | and favorite, but the new voices were ■ given a pleasing reception, and the old ! favorites, Karl, Frotliinghani and Bar -1 nabee, warmly welcomed. "Fanehon ette" will be the bill to-night. TARIFF TALKS. Merchants Who Would Reduce the Duty on Crockery and Wool "Tim tariff on crockery ware, aver aged throughout, would amount to 00 per cent in round numbers," said a Nicollet avenue dealer in china ware yesterday. "How would you view a reduction of the tariff." asked a Grow: reporter. "Every dealer would like to see the tariff removed entirely. Why not'- You and other consumers of china— and everybody is a consumer— pay this tariff in extra' prices. You pay nearly 00 per more for your ware than if there were tariff." . .: "How would you lie affected?" "It would require less capital to run our business, our expenses would be lighter, taxes and insurance less and bad debts smaller, while our profits^ would be the same. The cheapening of the goods would result in selling more and our business would increase." "What does the tariff protect?" "A few lotteries in New Jersey and .some more along the Ohio river, be tween Pittsburg and Wheeling. The Jersey potteries, however, are doing very poorly, from what I can gather." "Then for the purpose of protecting -CHE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING DECEMBER 28, 1887. these few potteries, the entire people must pay 60 per cent more for their ware* • ■'.- - . 'That's it, exactly: and I am a good Bepublican, too, but no Blame Republi can, either." 7 lii A ury goods establishment further up the street, the tariff question was discussed the other day, and the mer chant was asked his opinion of the duty on raw wool. He MM: "1 never was a Cleveland man, but after his bold stand on the great tariff question I see my mistake. While I have never given the general question much study, I believe it is wrong, on principle, to tax raw material, whether it is wool, ore or anything else, but I have studied the wool question and I know the duty on raw wool is an in iquity. It taxes the wool on the sheep's back and the coat on the man's back. For the benefit of only a few of the tlockmasters, only a few, mind you, it taxes the millions of people of the United States. Such a course is not justifiable, in the matter of a general necessity, even under the pressure of war times, while at the present time it is a simple outrage. Few people have any idea of the wool they use or how much they pay for it. If it became a question alone between the wool wear ers and the wool growers, the former should win. but it really is between the army of wool wearers and the compar atively few wool growers, for. it is only certain grades of wool that might suffer by a reduction of the tariff, and those few would soon make it up in the decreased cost of their farm ing implements and every necessary of life. This may be a question of locality, and certainly the Northwest is inter ested in tariff reform, but it seems to me the whole masses of the people are in terested in eradicating the system which taxes the many for the benefit of the few. President Cleveland has taken a step in the right direction.'* "What are your polities'.'*' "1 am a Republican, but I know no party in this. It is not a party question here. 1 believe the Tribune is for a protective tariff, but it is probably ignor ance with it." MINNEAPOLIS GI,OBITI.,FS. Bank clearings yesterday, $772,532198.

The Attorneys Spend the Day Pumping Him For Im portant Evidence. He Claims Not to Know Who Foully Murdered Driver I ._ Tollefson, Bik j j But Often Contradicts Him self—His Marked In- j I difference. ■ ti}\ \[[ lhe Chamberlain Matter Up Timothy Denies Everything . J ' \ l i_ Timothy Barrett was on the witness stand the entire day, in the murder trial at Minneapolis, and was cross examined in a most searching and thor ough manner by the county attorney. Records were introduced to show that lie had been convicted of larceny at two different times, lor which he had served time at Fort Madison. 10. The more he is examined, the more apparent is it to all that he is entirely lacking in the cunning and shrewdness which were so well displayed when "Reddy" Bar rett was on the stand. He appeared to be totally unable to comprehend the map of the locality where he has been living. "Reddy's" evidence, although at times he was rather befuddled, was positive and to the point. Timothy presents about the same ap pearance on the witness stand that he has all through the trial, of ■*- • .,- - 11l INDIFFERENCE and inattention to the proceedings. A number of the questions addressed to him had to be asked the second time, on account of his inattention. In this respect he is just the opposite of his brother Henry, who while on the stand was so nervous that he was unable to sit in any position for the shortest space of time. Tim's testimony was as fol lows : "1 remember a conversation between Henry, Peter, my father and myself, in which Henry said that his mother in taking the saloon away from him had taken $1,000 out of his" pocket, and that be would kill her if he had to go to Omaha to do il. At another time he said Peter had seduc ed his wife's sis ter, and that he would tell his mother about it. and if that did not stop her from giving him her property he would put a job up on him and would put him out of the way. When 1 got home that night 1 I'M) m* SISTER SICK. and a doctor came in soon after I got home. I got off the car at the stables on Twenty-seventh avenue south and went down Twenty-seventh avenue to Lake street and Minnehaha avenue, ami then toward the glass works. The doctor's name was Heffron, I think. 1 went to bed with George Coleman." Mr. Davis then proceeded with the cross-examination : "1 am twenty-two years old. Henry is two years younger, ami Peter is four years younger than he. I was about sixteen years old when 1 left lowa, where I was born. I went to Omaha, wliere 1 lived with my mother." _', "Were you ever at Fort Madison, Io.?" asked Mr. Davis. ':. Mr. Erwin objected on the ground that the. prosecution was trying to besmirch the character of the witness, and that it was not proper cross examination 7* The objection was overruled, and the wit ness answered that he had been there. "Where did you stop?" _"A "At a hotel." -777 {' "• He proceeded: "I first came to, Minneapolis in May, 1887. L came from Omaha. 1 went to my sister Mary's house. 1 went there on Sunday. My father was stop ping there at the time. Peter came with me. The day after my arrival I went up to see Henry. Peter and I did not sleep together. Sometimes I slept with my father, who was also stopping there at this time, and sometimes with Coleman. 1 some times slept at ; Henry's. When Peter and 1 slept at Henry's WK SLEPT TOGETHER. Henry and my father were in partner ship in the saloon. Father stopped at 2830 Fort avenue a part of the lime. He stopped staying at Henry's and went down to Mary's on account of some trouble lit* had with Henry. 1 worked a week at Mary's fixing her house, and afterward 1 worked for a man named Edwards. 1 never ran the saloon or tended bar for Henry. 1 have bought a few kegs of beer, but we did not sell the beer. We drank it ourselves. I don't think my father ever went to California. I stopped at my sister's most of the time in July. I never slept on the billiard table at Henry's. It was taken apart in July because it was worn out. I went up to Henry's house about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the -.'oth of July. We were at Henry's on the day before the -titli, and Henry bought some bottled beer. 1 had a bone and buggy which I kept at my sister's. I don't know a Mr. Lemon, who has a tailor shop on Second street. 1 did not sell him a horse on the 25th of July. 1 DID NOT GET A CHECK from Mr. Semon, nor go to a bank to get it cashed. 1 did not go to a circus on the 25th of July, in the afternoon or evening. I don't know a man named Nichols. I was at John Dubay "s stable in August. I had the horse at mv sis ter's on the --Mb of July. Peter first suggested that we go up town on the evening of the 26th of July." The witness denied that he stated in his direct testimony that when he ar rived at Henry's house the 38th of July. he saw two men leaving the liouse. "I have no recollection now of seeing two men at Henry's house on the even ing of the 26th of July. We were all up stairs before we started. We left the women up stairs. I did not see Mrs. Lennon there that evening. She was there when I first went up to the house, but she went home soon after 1 got there. When we started up town, Henry had a stick in his hand. I think it was a piece of a rake handle. 1 did not take this ' pistol from Mr. Chamberlain on the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-sixth street on the night of July ii. 1 did not ',* ' i TRY TO ROB MB. t HAMBEBL AIN I and at the same time leave' with-hiin. these two pistols and this hat." •;•■*-' : He then put the hat on top of his head, but it was too small for hiiri. "Henry gave this pistol to me before we went to Northfield. Henry cut these initials on the stock of the pistol before lie gave it to me. I had it when 1 was arrested by Officer Truax at Northfield. When we started from 2830 Fort avenue on the night of July '_6th, we went • tip the Hastings & Dakota tracks to Cedar avenue. 1 don't recollect whether there was any picket fence around a triangu lar piece of land lying between the Hastings ft Dakota tracks and! Cedar avenue. It was 8 o'clock when we, left the house. We took the first car and went up town, and stopped in front of Lally's saloon, went in and had some beer. Two men came up and shook- hands with Henry. One man had a black mustache and reddish hair. The other one had a smooth face, was a heavy, thick-set. man. One was named Hart ami the other Murphy. It was Murphy who came to my sister's with some WATKK LILIES afterward. The store we bought the clothes at is above Hennepin avenue and is on Washington avenue. After we had bought the clothes we came back to the saloon. We then went down to the fire and saw a sign fall from the front of the Big Boston. We passed under the ropes and went down Wash ington avenue and got on a Riverside car, a few blocks this side of the tunnel, and went home. The car was full of people. There were two men on the car who worked at the glass works. -They got off tlie car at the car stables and went with us as far the barber shop on the corner of Lake street and Minnehaha avenue. The shortest way home is by the Riverside line to the stables on Twenty-seventh and Frank J ; lin avenues and then down Twenty seventh and Minnehaha" avenues. 1 saw the doctor at the liouse that night. He came to me and woke me about 1 o'clock, aud told me that my sister was better now. and that he thought he would so. When we got home that i.i.ht my (atbe*r \vqc . siting i m .

Mr. Davis then {turned the witness over to Mr. Erwin, who commenced on the redirect examination. "I have never been to school much. I never had anything to do with maps or charts. I have not got a very good memory, but I can remember that this statement of Henry's connecting me with the Tollefson murder is false. On the 18th of November 1 was in the Cen tral police station. I saw Mr. Jamie son. He told me that anything I said .would not be used against me. He said Henry said 1 knew about the Tollefson murder and that I had better tell him and I would be safe. I told him that I did not know anything about it and I had nothing to say. I was in the central police station at this time. Jamieson talked very loud. I was un der arrest at the time. It is a matter of difficulty to remember every little thing about where I was on the 25th of July. I remember there was a circus on the 25th of July. 1 saw no two men at Henry's place that I remember of.*' Court then adjourned until this morn ing, when Timothy Barrett will be fur ther examined.
