Costigan, of the Ryan, re received official notification from Wash ington yesterday that his patent fishing reel was now effectually guarded from infringement, ; and in the future he must be regarded as a full-fledged in ventor.

M. Jones, assistant to the presi dent of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City, has a theory which, though possi bly Utopian, may stilt be the entering wedge to the solution of the rate-cutting problem. "1 am heartily in favor of legalizing pools," said he, "and think congress should pass an act which will give us a Western, .Southwestern and Northwestern pool. Each of these three must, however, be separate, as the needs of one section of the country do not em body the desires of another. Let the interstate commerce commission be the high tribunal, and refer rate troubles to that body. All the roads lying with-' in the territory of a certain pool could agree to a schedule of rates, and if any line desired to raise or lower the exist ing tariff it would be necessary to give ninety days' notice to the interstate commerce commission. That body could, after looking into the merits of the case, decide upon it favorably or adversely." :.-.• --. .: * * '.'---■•*■ m . John S.

" There has been considerable agita tion in reference to a new. opera house since the Grand was destroyed, and ne gotiations have been pending to secure some suitable site on which to erect a house commensurate with the needs of this city. These negotiations culmi nated last evening in securing a loca tion and ample grounds for the erection of a opera house and arcade building on block 21, St. Paul Proper. The street railway company owns the westerly fifty feet of that block, extend ing from Fourth to Fifth streets, and now occupied by the Dickinson block. Next to this Col. Thomas Lowry owns 50x150 feet on Fourth street, and he recently -contracted • for the pur chase of 50x150 feet on Fifth street lying behind that which he already owned. The estate of W. F. Davidson owned 100 feet on Fourth street extending through to Fifth street, being lots 3 and 4 and 9 and 10, block 21, and also 25 feet fronting on Wabasha street and extending back 100 feet. All this property, comprising the Dickin son block, lots 3, 4. 5, 8, 9 and 10, and a lot 25 feet in width on Wabasha, has . been acquired by the syndicate, as" I shown by the following diagram : ■■^■^■^■-B__B_____________________ I 111 II It is proposed to organize a syndicate composed of leading citizens of St. Paul, together with some public-spir ited citizens of Minneapolis, aud build on this ground : an improvement which will be both an ornament and a benefit to the city. A contract for the purchase of the property owned by - Tin: DAVIDSON ESTATE was made last evening between Col. Lowry and Thomas P. Wilson, repre senting the gentlemen who propose to be interested, and Col. James H. David son, on behalf of the estate. There are a number of St. Paul citi zens who have been consulted, and have given their approval of this project. It is understood that the St. Paul syndicate embraces, among others, Messrs. P. H. Kelly, A. H. Wilder, William Lindeke. Arnold Kal man, Robert Mannheimer, George R. Finch, W. R. Merriam, P. T. Kavanagh, William Bickel, Theodore Schurmeier and Thomas P. Wilson. There will also be interested in this project a Minneapolis syndicate composed of Col. Thomas Lowry, : R. B. Langdon, Charles H. Prior, Clinton B. Morrison. E. B. Ames, R. E. Grimshaw, John Martin, _->orilus Morrison. Thurston Bros., John De Laittre, W. W. Eastman and J. W. Pence. The Germania bank purchased 100 feet square at the corner of Fifth and Wabasha streets, but it-, new bank building will only occupy 50x100 feet on the comer, having 50x100 feet next to the 25x100 just contracted for, unoccu pied. It is probable, if a satisfactory arrangement can be made, that this property will also be secured by the syndicate. THE GENERAL PLAN . , : , is to occupy 150 feet on Fourth street, extending through to Fifth street, with a grand opera house, fire-proof in every respect, with ample open areas, and with an arcade " occupying the re mainder of the ground, with open ings from St. Peter street through the Dickinson block, and wide open ings to Fourth, Fifth and Wabasha streets. The preliminary plans have not assumed a definite shape yet, but from the character of the gentlemen who are interested it is certain to be an improvement worthy of the city and of those who are interested in the enter prise. The expectation is that it will involve an outlay of at least $500,000. and with the Arcade block addition it will doubt less pay an ample, income to the own ers. As soon as an organization can be made and plans perfected work will be gin and it will be. pushed as rapidly as possible, so ;as to have the opera- house ready for the opening of the theatrical season next fall or winter. The disaster which be fell the Grand arid left St. Paul without a first-class place of amusement will thus result in a magnificent and costly struct ure that will accommodate the amuse ment-loving public. \ MARKET HALL LEASED. Manager Scott Secures It for The atrical Purposes. The city council held a special meet ing yesterday afternoon, the principal business being the consideration .of leasing market hall for theatrical pur poses. There were present Aid. Kav anagh. Cullen, Conley, Blom, Sullivan, Fischer, Geiian, Leithauser, Minea, Pratt, Bickel, Weber, Sanborn. Aid. Cullen was the first to obtain the president's eye, and taking the floor he briefly stated that since the burning of the opera house the citizens of St. Paul were utterly without sufficient amuse ment facilities for the winter, and it was for the general weal of the com munity that Market hall should be leased for the purposes of a temporary theater. Manager Scott, who was in at tendance, said he hoped that the coun cil would grant the petition. > He would fit the hall up in such a manner that it would be more valuable as a plant at the expiration of his lease -than when he took the house. •' ' •-'■-• * z ' "I would ask Mr. Geliari,". said Aid.

The question could : not be answered without reference,' and after some desultory discussion on insurance the following resolution, introduced by Aid. Leithauser, was unanimously adopted: : : 3EB8bBSBBE@&BBS9& Resolved, That . the common council ap prove of the action of the committee on pub lic buildings, city property, and markets iv offeriug to lease the Market hall to Louis N.

The tangled web that has been weav ing itself about the much-agitated ques tion of the merit or worthless!) ess of the Williams bill, whose provisions ma terially change the present jurisdiction and powers of the municipal court, through the earnest effort toward a con certed action by the bar of Ramsey county, bids fair to leave clots of its dusty strands on the coat collars and hat rims of eminent seniors and juniors alike. A large contingent of both fac • tions (for such they have grown to be) was present at the meeting of the Ram sey County Bar association, held in . the ._ court room yesterday afternoon at 4" o'clock. Pres ident Williams, after calling the meeting to order.stated that the meeting of the bar association proper was called for the express purpose of considering a bill drawn by himself and embodying suggestions from the district judges, providing for holding nine terms of the district court. "In introducing this bill," he said, "I want to state that it has no one member for its champion." He then read the: bill, which he stated that if approved by the members he would leave in Representative Stevens' hands for passage through the legisla ture. . The provisions of the bill are as fol lows: An Act Fixing tbe Time for Holding the District Court in the Second Judicial Dis trict. .'.-■"'. Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Minnesota. Section 1. • Section 21 of Chapter 64 of the general statutes of 1878 as heretofore amended is hereby amended so as to read as follows: There shall be nine general terms of said court in each year for the transaction of such' business as shall properly come before it, aud said term shall commence on the first Monday of each month in the year, except July, August and September. Sec. 2. Section 22 of said chapter 64 is hereby amended so as to read as follows: . Petit jurors shall be drawn for each of said terms in tne manner now prescribed by law; grand jurors shall be drawn for terms held . in January, May and September, and for any other term when the court' or any judge thereof shall direct. Such grand jurors shall be drawn on or be fore fifteen days prior to the term at which' such jurors are to serve. ; Venires shall be issued therefor and served as now provided by law Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from aud after the 15th day of March, 1889. "The bill," said Mr. Williams, "is in nerfect accord with the ideas of a large number of attorneys to whom I have submitted it." <•»•- Mr. Brimhall, the soothing spirit of the meeting, aware of the presence of a great many of ! .. THE YOUNGER MEMBEES - of the profession, not members of the Bar association, moved that all present who were not members of the Bar as sociation proper . should be allowed to ; express their . sentiments upon every. . question before meeting and be. invited to vote upon the present bill. This was heartily seconded by the : members of the association, and, being put to a vote, was carried. A motion upon the bill which ? adopted it, determined the business of the meeting. - -_ : ■ The chair then announced that there was nothing else before the meeting, and called for new business. Then the strife began; and a score of able orators" were upon their feet in an instant to discuss the subject of the municipal court bill. In the rear of the room and near the exit stood the larger portion of the juniors, who dispersed their elo quence at the meeting Friday night with such liberality. Seats were scarce compared to the number present, and the ranks of the juniors, or Liberals, were relieved in glowing prominence from the members constituting the bar association. .:.'' The first Conservative who proposed a subject for new business was Mr. McCarty, when, as if touched by an electric impulse, he took flight to the ceiling and informed the chair that the meeting held Friday evening had ap pointed a committee of five to represent them at the meeting, and asked that they be heard. The signal was promptly answered by the juniors," and Mr. Mar vin, as a member of the committee, ad-, dressing the multitude^ made known the action of the meeting of the general bar. He was instructed to aid the Bar association to defer ac tion upon the subject at issue, until, at some subsequent meeting the bar could meet as an entirety and discuss the bill . and pass upon it, either for approval or disproval. This savored of a presump tion on the part of. the juniors that the Bar, association meeting had been called for the purpose of disposing of -the Williams bill, and, to say the least,' the indignation of the members of the Bar association developed. SOME PYROTECHNICAE VERBOSITY. ,'."' President Williams retorted that the meeting had no such intention as was presumed by the liberals, and 'that the only business for which the meeting was called had been finished. Mr. Squires demanded to know: "Who are these people? Where is the author ity of the committee, and how are we to recognize them?" To this there came a clap of thunder from the liberals which woke up George Walsh, who had. re tired to a somnolent state of semi-con sciousness and was reclining against the partition.-.-: ...... > . Mr. Otis attempted to allay the ruf fled bosom of the meeting, and' calmly let all come dome from the incandescent light wires, where a few in their nervous excitement had climbed that their voices might be heard above the din of the battle . below, by moving that.he : report from the committee of Friday m ight's meeting be received, but should not be discussed, since it was not the object of the meeting to consider the ■Williams bill. - > Mr. Brimhall moved to amend by add ing that the meeting adjourn until next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock for a discussion and for modifying and chang ing such features in the municipal court bill as the meeting desired, and that all members of the bar of Ramsey county should be invited -. to attend, take part and vote. .Discussion commenced most vigorously, and Mr. Walsh, who was: just awaking from his doze, called for the question upon a motion of Mr. O'Brien's, when up to this time -Mr. O'Brien had ■■, not thought of making a motion, unless it was to change seats with Mr. Walsh. ; : . • : -:>V The meeting suspended operations during a roar of laughter at Mr. Walsh's break. • ; \- .-.-■■- - •. -;•,,:■.'«--- Prompted by the preceding sport,, Mr. O'Brien said that he did nut understand the origin of the bill, aud would like to know with whom the Bar association was dealing.

The words had ■ just left his lips . when Mr. Willis sur prised the very walls by turning a flip flop aerial soiumersault out from the crowd " and gracefully, informed Mr. Squires that the Friday night meeting had also reason to _ congratulate itself for Mr. Squires' absence. Just as things were glowing with a lurid hue. some one, to avoid the inevi table, made a motion to adjourn and the janitor raised the windows and let out all bad feeling. «tti : MADE MARRIAGE A FAILURE Legal Relief Sought by Six Unhappy 1. ; ■ Couples. ■'.'■ CARRIED AN AXE TO BED. A Wife Who Will Not Live in America Because It Is Nat Conservative Enough for Her Tastes. At the opening of the special term of the district court held before Judge Brill yesterday, six sad-eyed and mel ancholy looking women occupied chairs in a line against the wall. One of them had brought with her a three- year-old j boy, who interjected an occasional i squeal to. counsel's argument for its mamma. The room was uncomforta bly warm, and the red hot stove did not make it any more endurable than if . Phlegethon itself had contributed an element to the solemn occasion. The divorce seekers were- seated in a row immediately to the right of the stove, . and their burning faces, parched lips, bloodshot eyes and heavy outdoor wraps, which for convenience sake they refrained from hanging on the floor, suggested too plainly their .suffering. Occasionally one would run the gaunt let and pass the lawyers and. curious -spectators, and make her way to the Shall, to breathe a bit of fresh air. Just . before the termination of the first case i the'ruddy-faced youngster, mistaking j the. event ' for a private barbacue in ] which he was to be the offering, com- 1 -prenced a deafening lamentation which j /.made the proceedings interesting and rather expressive on the part of the at torney who; in a .high key, was strug- : gling with his address to the , judge. ■*ffl6 - , ,-■■ ■ :\ -' ..; ._ t '.IIOTTEE.TUAJf MINNEAPOLIS," '•' 'remarked one of the gentlemen at the 'liar, and expressed a wish that some competent janitor be appointed whose 'effort to illustrate the climate of his future abode would not be so con founded conspicious.

Her ; husband is . a brakeman and enjoys an , income of $50 per month, all of I which is used for himself, with- . out helping his wife and child. I In her complaint she charges him with cruel and inhuman treatment, and cited several instances of violent and abusive treatment suffered at his bands while they lived on South Robert street. She avers that he was in the habit of testing . the strength of a full-grown stove poker, which was also used to diminish the stock of chinaware whenever it ;" ap peared to be a luxury. Mrs. Ohmer blushed and the youngster set up a howl when she was called upon to state another occasion of maltreatment to the court. Mustering up courage she said that on several occasions her lord went to' bed accompanied by a meat axe.

'-V s ..'. !.•-.'.•: .-.'■ The next case called was that of An ton Fischer against his . absent wife, Dma Fischer. He said that he was forty-five years old and his wife was of the "ripe age of ' sixty. His principal grievance was that his wife who lives, in Europe, refuses to come 'to America and live with him. She gave as her reason that this 1 was a very bad country, with 'no religion worthy the name, and that the country was not conservative ; enough to suit her. She wrote in one of her recent letters that America, and especially St." Paul and Minneapolis, was the most im moral and degraded places on earth. She vowed that while she was a Catholic she would be his wife, and if he did not care to. come to her she would stay where she is and remain a faithful wife. Mr. Fischer does not seem to concur in such arrangements, and seeks through the courts to liberate himself " from the "ties that bind." He is a carpenter,and has two children, who live with his wife. J The court , took the case under advisement. It being late, the court adjourned, continuing the untried cases until next Saturday. ; . ; -.. The Church Canvass. The services at the First M.
