* saintly city doings The Chamber Would Have Better Gas and Swifter Transportation. An Interesting Grist of Gos sip Gathered in the Ho tel Corridors. A Workman Danced a Jig* on the Palace Top and Had a Fatal Fall. Summary of the Doings of One Day Gathered From All Sources. GAS AND TRANSPORTATION. Cheaper Light in St. Paul and Cheaper Transportation to Min neapolis Wanted by the Chamber of Commerce. At a meeting of the chamber of com merce yesterday morning the invitation from the committee for the chamber to take part in the industrial parade on Feb. 1 was referred to the executive committee. A resolution offered by Mr. Stevens that the efforts of Supt. Scott and the employes of the street car com pany to promote travel in the face of discouraging storms and insufficient equipment deserves th. commendation of citizens, was adopted. A resolution that the committee on streets be instructed to investigate and report why streets are so Imperfectly lighted, and whether any improvement is to be expected during the carnival season, went to the committee on streets. Another, that the St. Paul Gas Light company be requested to furnish the chamber with Information as to the. cause of the poor quality of the water gas it is now supplying to con sumers, and also whether, consider ing the poverty of the -illuminating power and the extreme cheapness of the cost of manufacturing it in comparison with coal gas.the price cannot be materi ally reduced and still afford a large profit to the company, was referred to the same committee. The report of the mercantile committee in favor of a commercial union with Canada was submitted. To this Mr. Smalley offered as a substitute a resolution to tne effect that the chamber favored the idea of the Canadian provinces becoming states of this Union, and that the interstate commerce law apply to the Canadian railroads. The reading of this resolu tion caused a laugh to go around the chamber, but Mr. Smalley sustained his proposition with several suggestions and claimed that the Canadion Pacific road, not being subject to the interstate law, was slaughtering all rates and in juring the American roads. No action was taken and the matter was dropped. SAPID _________ K. W. Feet offered this resolution: "That this chamber of commerce learns with regret the decision of the man agers of the railroad companies running trams between Minneapolis and St. Paul not to reduce the fare between these cities, and we hereby express our opinion that such decision is illiberal, unnecessary and unjustifiable, and, further,that the refusal of the managers of said companies to permit the use of tickets in either direction is hereby con demned as being, in our opinion, iumuu necessary annoyance to the public" .In connection with this Mr. Noyes offered a resolution that the chamber advise and request the city council to grant to the St. Paul & Minneapolis Rapid Transit company, or other organ ization formed for the same purpose, all reasonable concessions and facilities asked for, consistent with the public interests, for the construction and operation of the proposed quick transit line between St. Paul and Min neapolis. Both these. resolutions were adopted. " *""_*. .. -:. MINNEAPOLIS ___*» st. PATH. ONE CITY. Mr. MeCliiug offered a preamble and several resolutions in regard to Minne apolis and St. Paul, which were re ferred to the committee on city govern ment. The preamble recited that inasmuch as the two cities would ulti mately unite and constitute one city, it would be wise to anticipate the manifest destiny of the union that will follow, and to accelerate it by combin ing all their resources and uniting all their Influences on such subjects as are for the common advantage of both cities: that while nei ther city could commit itself to any definite form of union, it is Hme for the best citizens of both cities to unite and deliberate upon such subjects as are now of common interest to secure concert of action, so that there can be a unity and oneness of action; that the St. Paul chamber invites the board of trade of Minneapolis to appoint twenty delegates to meet a similar number from St. Paul to be appointed by this chamber, to meet In the St. Paul cham ber in February, 1888, to consider and re port back to their respective bodies such a plan of union as will carry out the spirit and Intent expressed in the pre amble. ROTUNDA RIPPLES. What Some Well-Known Men . Found to Talk About Yesterday. Among the blockaded ones in St. Paul was Judge Edgerton, of Dakota, who left for home last evening upon receiv ing assurances that the snow blockade had been temporarily raised. He found time, however, to say to the Globe's representative while his preference was for a division of Dakota, vet if the people of the territory and the general government thought it judicious to ad mit it as one state he was for the inter ests of Dakota all the time. "Accord ing to Gov. Church's message," said the judge, •* 'the population of Dakota is about 600,000, South Dakota containing three-fifths of this number. It is a question in my mind whether anything will be accomplished at Washington this winter in regard to admission, not alone on account of the. conflicting in terests representing Dakota, but from the fact that other territories are knocking at the door of statehood and claim priority over Dakota in this mat ter. Those who are advocating one grand state of Dakota are doubtless sincere in their professions, but I have not been convinced that division would not redound to our material benefit in everyway." _'••"■" --* * a "I am going to Washington for a few weeks," said Hon. H.B. Strait, of Shak opee, "pertly to escape from this cold weather and partly on private business. Kail-roads in our vicinity are pretty clear of snow now and trains are runn ng as usual, but the wagon roads are still im passable, owing to the heavy snow drifts. While there has been a great deal of suffering entailed by the cold snap, I have not heard of any fatal re sults in the neighborhood of Shakopee. My stay at the capita! will depend upon circumstances,. for there are many old acquaintances that I want to see again, aha a variety of interests are involved in my trip." *** * "One experience with a blizzard is enough for me," said Stanley Single, a young Englishman who since last spring has been" a resident of Minne dosa . in Manitoba, "and a trip that should have been accomplished at the outside within two days has required a week. Ex-Mayor . Wostbrook, of Win nipeg, and myself we're the ; only occu pants of the sleeper that left the capital of the province .. last Wednesday when the blizzard was just beginning. That night a carpenter .named McDou- Jijd, who lived opposite my hotel, was frozen .to death in his bed, having . kicked the covering off himself during ...lie night, and a photographer in the ______ neighborhood had a narrow escape from the same fate,*. He was. found un conscious on ' the floor of his studio by the boy who blacked his boots, and as sistance was summoned and the poor fellow restored after a long struggle." • * ■ "Thursday noon found our train at Emerson on the boundary line, and the blizzard raging furiously. It was de termined not to risk going any fur ther, especially as the snow drifts In the main streets of Emerson were piled eight feet high, and it was packed so solid that a person could walk on the top of the drift without making the slightest impression. It was half a mile from the depot to the hotel, but In that storm the distance seemed sev eral times greater. For three days the blizzard raged furiously, reaching its height the afternoon of Friday; and the following day we resumed our jour ney, the train being frequently com pelled to stop on account of the heavy drifts. Finally we reached Barnsville, where snow plows had preceded us, and we found the track comparatively free from snow. We left this point Sunday night, a snow plow in front of us, and two engines attached to the train,reach ing St. Paul shortly before daylight Monday morning. 1 am going south for the remainder of the winter and will the return to the tight little isle." HE DANCED A JIG On Top of tho Ice Palace and It Cost Him His Lite. Another workman employed in the construction of the ice palace fell from the tower wall yesterday and was fa tally injured. He was Frank Grauber, an _________ German, aged twenty-two, who lived in a boarding house at No. 705 Mississippi street. The workmen at the palace say Graubcr's fall was the result of his own foolishness. He was dancing a jig at the top of the main tower, 100 feet from the ground, when he slipped and fell on the out side. He was conscious when picked up and refused to take stimulants. The bone protuded from his left leg, which was broken below the knee, and his forehead was split from temple to temple. Several ribs were broken and he sustained severe in ternal injuries. The central station patrol was called and. Grauber was re moved to the city hospital. At 2 o'clock this morning he was still alive but very low, and the physicians did not enter tain any hope of recovery. WHY IS DAKOTA OUT? A Talk With Judge Moody, "Sena tor" From South Dakota. : "Partisan politics is at the bottom of the opposition to the admission of Da kota," said Hon. G. C. Moody, of Dead wood, who was sent to Washington as senator from the state of South Dakota a couple of winters ago, "and I say this after spending a month' at the capital among our lawmakers. Since the 15th of December I have been talking with public men on this question, and the bill now before the senate, which with amendments was substituted for the Harrison bill of last season, was drafted by myself, It was first submitted to a meeting of Dako tians, among whom were Messrs. Klein er, King, Pettigrew, Day and Delegate Gifford, all of whom expressed them selves satisfied with its provisions, and Mr. Gifford introduced it in the house. It urges the admission of South Dakota as a state and the passage of an enab ling act to fit North Dakota to make the same application after complying with the requirements of congress, and will give the people of South Dakota an op portunity to vote at the next president ial election. This, however, does not commend the measure to statesmen of Sj ringer's stripe and the latter has antag onized one bill with one that, if passed, can only result in a complete disorgan ization of the territory of Dakota, en tail endless litigation regarding titles to property, and in fact do everything ex cept benefit us." "Senator Hearst, the new Democratic senator from California, who is a prac tical business man, is one of our friends, and had no hesitancy in stating that he would support the bill for two states being formed out of our territory, as he was convinced not only that it would be judicious, but absolutely essential to, the future welfare of the portion of the Northwest 400 miles square." "But, underlying all the opposition, is the fear that Dakota, if divided into two states, would give Republican ma jorities for the the president, and this the Democracy will not allow to sink into the insignificance that it deserves. For it is not a question of partisanship, but one of justice that now confronts congress regarding Dakota, and it is a crying shame that 800,000 American citi zens are disfranchised to gratify the whim of a few so-called public men and statesmen." AMUSEMENTS. "Held By the Enemy" at the Grand—A Plum Pudding. ■ There is always a fascinating glamor about military life and military events, and there is no sort of a stage produc tion which is usually more captivating to an audience than one that is well filled with stirring martial features. Mr. Gillette was fortunate in this respect in hitting on a subject for his play, "Held by the Enemy." ; The scene is laid in a Virginia town, and the period is the last year of the civil war. The plot is well constructed and full of ex ceedingly strong dramatic situations. It was a stroke of genius on the part of the author to introduce two heroes into the play, one wearing the blue and the other the gray, both of them manly characters and both equally exciting the admiration of Americans, without regard to their sectional preju- . dices or sympathies, maybe. Col. Pres cott, of the Union army, and Lieut Hayne. of the. Confederate side, are typical American soldiers who hold honor above life, and . although they had the misfortune to love the same girl in addition to being pitted against each other in war, the sympathies of the auditor are made to divide so evenly be tween the heroes that one is led to re gret that both could not have married her. A fair criticism of both the play and the performance of it at the Grand last night is that it is one of the strongest and most interesting per formances that has been seen here this season. The scenic effects are par ticularly good, there being much to pro duce a realistic revival in the minds of old soldiers of events of the war days. The company -is evenly balanced. Mr. Wilson might inject a little more ani mation into the part of Col. Trescott, and Mr. Haworth might diminish a little of the fustian in his rendition of the part of Lieut. Hayne without detracting from the merit of the per formance. It would be difficult to sug gest an improvement in the acting of Miss Thome and Miss Schell, who carry the parts of the sisters with admirable taste and correct ideas of the characters they assume. The same bill the re mainder of the week. __• _~ CITY LAW-BREAKERS. The Men Who Took up the Time in the Municipal Court Yester day. . ;/ At the preliminary examination of James Carr, a colored thief, accused of stealing $100 worth of H. F.

D., lectured to" an audience of about 300 people in Market hall last evening on "Health THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1888. and now to Keep It." She vigorously denounced the laws limiting the practice of medicine to a certain class, and claims - that any one able to prescribe for the ills of a human being ought to have that right. The balance of her discourse was in the nature of a scientific essay. She wore an elegant costume of black velvet, while a half dozen magnificent diamonds glistened on her breast. PAY FOR PAVING.

Walter Thomas Mills' Talk on the Workshop vs. the Grogshop. Walter Thomas Mills delivered his lecture, "The Workshop versus the Grogshop," at Relief hall, on Ninth street near Jackson, last night. The admission was free and the audience was, consequently, large. Mr. Mills has a way of speaking entirely different from the usual con ventional manner of the lecturer. He speaks in a conversational tone, and sticks closely to his subject, without in dulging in any rhetorical freaks. His address last night was nothing more that apolitical stump speech from the prohibition standpoint. He attacked by a sort of ridicule both of the Republic ans and Democrats. He asserted that no political party could be better than any faction of the party large enough to lose the party its power, and said that about three-fourths of Republicans and three-fourths of the Democrats were good men, but the other one-fourth con trolled the fate of either party. He thinks if the internal revenue" were abolished there would be no treasury surplus and no whisky pool, but he says the Prohibition party is marching on to victory and hasn't time to consider these questions, for when the prohibi tory law is passed there will be no need of considering them. * .

IT IS WARDEN STORDOCK. . * . . •- No One Appeared to Prosecute the Prison Official HIS SUSPENSION IS OFF. __ Statement From County Attorney '**■• Egan on Which the Indictment Was Nollied. . •'' ; - I It Is Warden Stordock again. 7 The prosecuting attorney of Wash ington county failed to appear in the district court yesterday morning, and the Stordock- McNeale cases were dis missed, at his request, for want of suf cieut evidence to warrant continuing such cases. The news of the abandon ment of the cases reached the state house in short order, and right after dinner the governor issued a letter re voking his former suspension of the warden and restoring him to his position as before. 5S Upon the opening of the court County Attorney Egan said: "Tins case has been removed to the county of Ramsey, Second judicial district, for trial on an application for change of venue made in Washington county. First ju dicial district, and is now in this court pursuant to an order made for such change of venue by the district court of Washington county. The case was duly set last last Tuesday, Jan. 10, for trial Jan. 16, 1888. at 10 a. m. The county attorney of Washington county was duly noti fit d. The county attorney and his rep resentative, J. N. Castle, have informed the county attorney of Ramsey county that the cases would not be brought on ; for trial, and that he should leave of the court to dismiss said cases. The county attorney of Ramsey county has no knowledge of the facts of the case nor the names of . the witnesses, and no person representing Washington county is here, Jan. 16, 1888, at 10 a. m., on the OPENING OF THE COURT, to prosecute the cases or to assist there in, nor is there any person or witness in attendance upon the court to make any suggestion with reference thereto. Here is a letter from J. N. Castle, who represents ths state of Minnesota, and the county attorney of " Washington 'county in these matters, and, pursuant thereto, leave is asked or the court to dismiss the cases of The State of Minne sota vs. 11. G. Stordock and Sarah Mc- Neale, on the ground and for the reason that the state has no evidence pufficient to go before a jury and ask, or be al lowed, a conviction of the defendants, or either of them. "The letter is as follows: 'J. J. Egan, County Attorney, St. Paul, Minn. — Dear Sir: Will you have the goodness to have dismissed the cases of The State vs. Stordock and McNeale, and oblige. Yours respectfully, J. N. Castle, Acting County Attorney.' " The indictments were thereupon nollied by the court in both cases. The governor's letter to the warden is as follows: St. Paul, Minn.. Jan. 16, 1888.— Hon. Id. 6. Stordock, Warden, etc., etc. — Dear Sir: The order issued by me Nov. 17, 1887, suspending you from the office of warden of the state prison pending your trial on an indictment found against you by the grand jury of Wash ington county, is hereby revoked and annulled, for the reason that the trial on said indictment has been abandoned by the prosecution for the lack of evi dence, and the indictment dismissed on the motion of the attorney for the pros ecution. You are therefore restored t o your said office of warden and to all the duties and rights thereof. . Respectfully yours, .'A. R. Mt_____, Governor. , . . . A WORD FROM MR. MARSU. To the Editor of the Globe. rVI see it mentioned in the St. Paul Press of yesterday that the cases against '.Warden Stordock .are to be dismissed, and that Mr. Stordock had intimated in an interview here at Stillwater that he should proceed against your paper for having published certain matters; in reference to himself, which were writ ten by me. 'Also that Mary Waishair had retracted what she had said in ref erence to Warden Stordock in a conver sation with Judge Butts, one of the prison inspectors. . I do not know but what it may be true that the indictments against Mr. Stor dock may be dismissed. I never have had control in any way or manner of the criminal proceedings. I have no voice or vote as to whether they should be dismissed or coutiuued. If the indict ments are dismissed I shall try to make it very plain why Mr. Castle, prosecut ing attorney, was compelled to dismiss the indictments. ■_";:.. As to the other part of the story, that Mary Waishair had retracted what she hid said, in a conversation with Mr. Butts, that is not true. . There is a civil case pending in the district court of Washington county, in which Warden Reed is plaintiff and Warden Stordock is defendant. This case will come on for trial at the next term of the district court of Wash ington county. It will then BE VERY EASY TO ASCERTAIN* ' as to whether Mary Waishair has changed her testimony. Mr. Stordock knows that she has not changed her testimony, and he feels so certain of the success of Mr: Reed in the case (and the success of Mr. Reed depends upon the truth of the statements which I have made in your paper) that he (Warden Stordock) said to Freeman L. McKusick, an officer of the municipal court of the city of Stillwater, that tor the purpose of avoid ing the payment of and judgment which ex-Warden Reed might obtain against him in the case now pending, he pro posed to make an assignment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. McKusick can be found at any time in the city of Stillwater, and is ready and willing to verify the statement which I make. If Mr. Stordock did not believe that I could obtain a judgment against him in this action, which is based upon the procuring and circulation of a false affidavit against ex-Warden Reed, then he is behaving like a lunatic,' in either making an assignment or threatening to make one to avoid such judgment. Very respectfully, :' . : Fayette Marsh. Bible Society. . The Ramsey County Bible society held its annual meeting at the rooms of the .Y . M.. C.

M., Jan. 16.— The canal of the Albuquerque Land and Water .company, known throughout the terri tory as the "Guy Robertson Mesa canal," will be commenced in ten days. Men, tools, provisions, etc., are now on the ground and awaiting a change of weather to commence construction on the first section. The dimensions of the canal will be thirty feet wide at the top, eighteen at the bottom, six feet deep, running a distance of 142 miles through Rio Arriba, . Santa Fe, Valencia, Ber nalilo and Socorro counties on the Mesa and bottom lands of i the Rio Grande valley.
