MINNEAPOLIS. Additional City News on Page 4. FINALLY AKOUSKD. Something has dropped in the crossings ease, and that something Is public opinion. For five • ears the people of Minneapolis Dave been content to quietly witness a struggle be tween die Manitoba and the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroads as to which should gain some slight advantage over i_e other and the possession of - strip of ground which, .occu pied by their tracks, lies directly across what might be termed the ni-iu thoroughfare of the city, lv the moantime. the northern half of the city has beeu retarded in growth, the city has bee- prevented from bridging the railroad crossings and the lives of citizens have been daily exposed to danger. Travel has been impeded, the commercial interests have suffered incalculable inconvenience and still these roads have quarreled and fought each other in and out of the courts. Efforts to effect some compromise have been unavailing, and until recently each has stub bornly held its position. Finally the Mani toba has shown some inclination to listen to the appeals of the city, it is supposed, to serve as a carrier. This much vantage gained, however, has been lost apparently because ita opponent has refused to meet it half way. And ail this time the citizens of Minneap olis have stood meekly by, wondering how it would all terminate. At last the limit of en durance has been reached, and now it looks es if the representative men of an outraged community would take radical steps to see that the city's Interests were protected. The report of the counsel committee, ratified by a meeting attended by leading business men yesterday, means something— and that is that some compromise or agreement or ar rangement must be effected between these two fighting corporations that will call on the city to bridge their tracks which now check public travel and impede business. As was remarked t the meeting yesterday, the Minneapolis <_ St. Louis road is no longer entirely controlled by the officials of the Rock Island system, It is now in the Hennepin county court— a court created to protect public interests and safety, and it is to this source that an appeal can now be made with a prospect that it will be heard. LOCAL. COM INT. Supt Snyder, who is thrown Into dally con tact with the poor, is authority for the state ment that the increased expenditure in his department its due in a great measure to hus bands who Clemen their wives and children, "Minneapolis is betteroff without such men, even if the taxpayers have to support the women and children. * Chief Stetson, e.f the fire department, has a long head, or at least Emerson Cole, chair man of the committee on ways and means of the council, thinks so. When the cry of "re trenchment and reform" went up all of the city departments put their estimates of ex penditures down to the lowest possible notch, and when they received their appro priations they were satisfied with the amount ■warded them, The fire chief bad been there before and he expected his estimate would lie cut by the council. Before be sent bis estimate in'he cooly added $50,*>00 and thorn-lit they had done a big thing, but the fire department received all ther wanted and now there is no danger of a deficit in that quarter.

ALL SOKT-s. • .^— — _ While our millers were making their deal with the Englishmen they might have had a few titles thrown in. For instance, Charley Pillsbury ci.nld he called the Duke of Min neapolis, and our senator could easily bear the title of Lord Washburn. It would come sort o' natural, so to speak. It is said that the next issue of Maben's Free Lance will be adorned with a cut of our illustrious chief of police. ' Perhaps it will afford Winn a good peg on which to hang a libel suit. If the ladies of the W. C. T. U. of Min neapolis split, probably the Foster element will take refuge in the Union league rooms. They could save rent and be under the wing of the g. o. p., in which their loud hopes are centered. Tim Byrnes must have lost his ax on the way to Washington, or el.se he eot lost him self. At least no Minneapolis" heads have been heard to fall with a dull, sickening thud, as was expected would be the case when Tim reached the capital, and the In diana colony is getting discouraged. Brother Heatwole made a great mistake in declining to go onto the national Republican committee instead of Bob Evans. He might have prevented much of this "hogishness" on the part of the Twin Cities. He will know better next time, but it will be too late. Will Secretary Windom take Charge of Dun tteli's campaign for speaker?

"TIME" NOW CALLED Business Men Conclude That the Crossing Case Must * Be Cesided, And Something Must Be Done to Protect the City. An Estimable Lady Asphyxi ated by Escaping: Gas—Pe culiar Death. A Couple of Swell Society Events Occurred Last Evening:. A more representative body of Min neapolis business men could hardly be brought together than was composed of those who met at the rooms of the job bers' association yesterday afternoon to consider what steps should be taken to bring about some settlement of the dis pute between the Manitoba and the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroads rela tive to the' crossing of Washington avenue north so as to permit the bridging of the tracks. Clinton Morrison presided, and there was some little preliminary discussion of the situ ation, when the following report, pre pared by the council committee on rail roads, which is to be presented at to day's council meeting, was submitted: To the Honorable City Council of the City of Minneapolis— Gentlemen: The under signed, to wnom was reterred the communi cation of W. U. Truesdale, receiver of the Minneapolis & St. Louis . Railway company, relating to a compromise ot the litigation now p?nding to compel the bridging of the railroad tracks on Washington avenue.Third, Fourth and Fifth street-, respectfully report that in accordance with the instructions. tamed in the motion reterriug this matter to us, a hearing was granted to the bt. PauL Minneapolis _* Manitoba company, as well as to the representatives of the Minneapolis & St. Louis company. We have given au op portunity to both of these companies to pre sent orally thsir views of tbe situation, and have also" received from them communica tions containing propositions looking to a compromise of the pei ding judgments- We have also heard other parties interested, and have received a communication from the Farmers' loin and 1 rust company, trustee for one set of lhe bondholders uf the St. Louis road. We have thus endeavored to gel all the light possible on the situation, and have given the matter a thorough investiga tion. The result of the propositions, as they now stand, is as follows: ' First— St. Louis company, by a recent communication to us. has modified its previ ous proposition as follows: -The company now proposes, subject to the approval of the district court to comply specifically and in detail with each and every requirement -set out in the judgment of the district court of Hennepin county, rendered March 6. 1 8S3, wilh one exception— viz.. the requirement that they shad erect aud con-, struct approaches lc the bridges. To obvivte any objection to a compliance with this re quirement, and particularly to insure the construction of the approaches in such man ner and form as Khali be most satisfactory to the city of Minneapolis and the public, it offers to pay the city the actual cost of all labor and material necessary to the con struction of the approaches, the construed n and maintenance to be assumed by the city. In consideration of this modification of the judgment it will dismiss its writ of error in the supreme court of the United States. Tnis proposition adopts the city's plan, except that it makes the city assume the liability to the abutting property owners for the -ban;. of grade on the several streets, and also as sume the maintenance of the approaches for the future. Second —The Manitoba company proposes to conform to the judgments embracing the city's plan in building the bridges, or its por tion of them, at Third, Fourth ana Fifth streets without any modification. At Wash ington avenue it proposes that the St. Louis single track on the southerly side of the right of way. now used by the railroad com panies, be removed a distance of about 16."> feet northerly, so that it shall adjoin the four main tracks of the Manitoba road on the southerly side. If this is done they propose to give tbe same right in tne tracks as relo cated as tbe St. Louis company now bas in the track in its present location, thus leaving their ground not occupied by tracks in spch a condition that they can erect their freight bouses, which they "propose to do at once, and have a roaaway from Washington ave nue over their right of way without crossing any track. To accomplish this they ask that the judgment of the court embracing the city's plan be mortified so the approach and bridge at Washington avenue, instead of being the full .width of the street sball !>« sixty feet in width, aud a roadway next on the westerly side forty-three feet in width, going down onto the ground. They also propose, if the St. Louis company will consent to the change. that they ill provide a depot on the ground owned by the .Manitoba company on the easterly side .of Washington avenue, near the bridges, which can be used under an arrangement wilh the Manitoba and in lieu of the present passenger depot of the St. Louis company located at Third street. The Manitoba com pany also proposes, if their plan is adopted, to pay the entire cost of the approaches and the bridge at Washington avenue, thereby relieving the St. Louis company from all expense for that bridge. The plan of the Manitoba company is strenuously opposed by the St. Louis company, trustee for cer tain bondholders. This is identically the same plan as the one proposed by the Mani toba company in course of the litigation now pending. Third— The St. Louis company further suggest)", in ; lis reply to the Mani toba's communication nnd proposition, that in lieu of that the Manitoba proposes, and to accomplish substantially the same purpose, in their opinion, that the four * Manitoba tracks be removed so they shall adjoin the St. Louis track on the southerly side of the right of way, and that instead of having a roadway from the southerly side of the right of way to the freight bouses of the Manitoba road, that the roadway be on tbe northerly side of the bridge, making an increase of travel of about TOO feet, and making it neces sary for the teams to go over onto the bridge on "the north side and then back by the road-, wav to the freight houses, the freight houses of the Manitoba company being built on the northerly side of their property Instead of on the southerly side as proposed by them. The SL Louis company also sug gests that the city's plan might be modified so that the roadway from the top of the bridge should go down from the easterly side of the bridge en to the Manitoba ground and that teams using this roadway come around under the bridge to the freight houses built on the westerly *-;*t_3 of tbe bridge, thus meet-, ing as the contend, the objection of the Man itoba company that by the city's plat the roadway would take up a large part of their grouna between their freight houses and interfere with the use of the freight houses by teams. While we have no power to de termine the question as between these two companies, or to compel either to consent to the plan of the other, we are decidedly of the opinion that the public interests would be best subserved by having ■ roadway from the southerly side of the railroad right of way to the Manitoba freight houses and by the building of the Manitoba freight houses as proposed by it and the removal of the St. Louis track so that all the tracks should be north of the freight houses. Our reasons for this conclusion are as follows : (1 ) This would provide the most accessible method of reaching the freight houses by those who would have occasion to use them, the great mass of whom would come from the south erly side. Second— would shorten the bridge at "Washington avenue. Third— would shorten or lessen the grade of the approach to the bridge. Fourth— lt renders unnecessary the drive way from the top of the bridge to the freight houses, as included iv the city's plan, and would thereby relieve the bridge ot teams heavily loaded with freight, being substan tially all the teams using the Manitoba yards. In our opinion, the proposal of the Mani toba bridge at Washington avenue audio put a roadway in ou grade is objectionable; but, in connection with their plan, and car rying out substantially what is proposed, it would be decidedly better to use tbe alley be tween Washington avenue and Third 8 treet for tne approach, and leave Washington ave nue free from auy such possible obstruction, bridging it the entire width. In order to properly accommodate the public, and pro vide a suitable access to tbe freight bouse, it would be necessary to. widen the alley to a width of forty feet. instead of sixteen, as it now Is. If this is done, the danger occa sioned by such widening sboul d be paid by the Manitoba oompany. We herewith sub mit a plan prepared by the city engineer, showing this change of situation, It is also our opinion that if the plans of the Manitoba were carried out, so far as the removal of the St. Louis' track is concerned, the Manitoba company should not only pay the cost of such removal, an it proposes, but it should preserve to the Minneapolis & St. Louis Rail way company, in the viaduct to be . built, the -same rights which it now his under the terms of the contract now , exist- I ing between the St. Louis and Manitoba 1 -and any additional rights which it may THE PAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FBIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 188* legally have acquired since said contract was made' lf this plan of the Manitoba com pany, modified as above, can not be carried out because of a failure to agree with the st. Loula company, or of the court having charge of the affairs of the St Louis com pauy to order such a change, it is our opin ion that the next best plan is that proposed by tbe city as Included In the judgment. - As defining the attitude of the city, and ln the interest of a compromise, we therefore rec< in mend: First— That the city agree to a modification of tbe present judgments so that the judg ments shall embrace the plan of the .Man itoba company, so far as the chauge in the approach at Washington avenue, and the re moval of the St. Louis track is concerned,* with the modifications above suggested by us and shown ou the plan hereto attached. Second— if a compromise cannot be arranged or an order of ihe court obtained, so that the Manitoba plan as modified can be carried into effect without further delay, the city's plan as embraced in the judgments be carried out as soon as the right cau be se cured either by compromise or the final dis position of the case now pending. The report was favorably received and some suggestions incorporated in It, as printed above, were made. There was some desultory talk concerning the probability of the railroads being brought to some agreement so the city can proceed with the bridging of the tracks. J. T. Wy man finally brought matters to a crisis by declaring that the crossing difficulty was virtually in the same shape as it had been tor five years past. He, tor one, thought some decisive action should now be taken to'assert the city's rights. Judge Isaac Atwater thought the Minneapolis & St. Louis Interests couid be so guarded that it would suffer but little damage, Some interest must suf fer in any event, and the city has been sufferer long enough. J. C. Ellel thought the time had come for the citi zens to say which road was right, and stand by it The Manitoba's propo sition is the more feasible, and should be sustained in the main. J. B. Bassett said that the conditions governing the situation are now changed for the better as regards the city. The Minneapolis & bt. Louis is now con trolled entirely, as heretofore, by Kock Island officials, but is in the hands of the court of Hennepin county, which is bound to protect the interests of the people. Remarks ran along in this strain until finally C. A. Pillsbury moved that the plan presented by the Manitoba be adopted with the modification that the alley be widened to forty feet and the bridge over Washington avenue be made the width of the street. This was seconded by 11. W. Wagner and others, and a committee consisting of Clinton Morrison, C. A. Pillsbury and J. B. Bas sett was appointed, which drew up the following resolutions, indicating the unanimous sense of the meeting. Resolved, That the plan proposed by the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad be adopted witb the modifications that the bridge to be erected over Washington avenue shall be of the width provided by the c ty plan, and that the alley extending trom Third avenue north and giving access to the freight houses shall be widened to forty-five feet. WHO IS TO i'LAMK? Mrs. William H. Millman Is As- phyxiated in Her Home. Criminal carelessness on the part of some one resulted yesterday in the death of Mrs. Alberta A. Millman, wife of William li. Millman, tiie commercial editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, in her cosy little home at 719 Third"ave nue south. Mr. Millman left tho house at the usual hour in the morning to at tend to his editorial work. Then his wife was enjoying excellent health. That was the last time he saw her alive, for when he returned for lunch a few hours later she was dead. That criminal carelessness on the part of somebody was the cause of her sudden demise everybody admits, aud the coroner will no doubt make a searching investigation and if possible place the blame where it rightfully be longs. The home occupied oy the Mill mans is a comfortable flat at 711* Third aveuue south, which runs the full depth of the building. A hall way separates it from the flat at 717, which is occupied by a Mr. Gifford and his family. On Wed nesday the odor of escaping illuminat ing gas was plainly perceptible in her house, but as no gas was used in either the rooms occupied by herself or in those occupied by Mr. Millman she sup posed it came from the drug store be low, and no attention was paid to it. Mr. Millman left home yesterday mor ning shortly before 10 o'olock, as was his custom, to go to the chamber of com merce. At that time his wife was ap parently enjoying excellent health. When he returned about 2:30 for lunch he found the house tilled with a poisonous atmosphere and his wife was sitting in her favorite rocking chair in the dining room. dead. At first he thought she had fainted. Iler hat had been thrown on a chair close by, ber coat was unbuttoned at the throat as if she was in the act of throwing it off when she was overcome, and her head was inclined to one side in an un natural position. Her face and hands were cold and clammy, and her face gastly white, but her body was still warm. Thoroughly alarmed, he picked up the chair in which she was sitting and carried it into the hallway and called Mrs. Gifford. The two carried her down stairs, where she could get fresh air, and he hurriedly summoned physicians. I)rs. Rockford, Moore and Staples responded promptly, and she was carried into the Third avenue drug store and laid on a lounee. The physicians at once pro nounced it a case of asphyxiation, and although they were almost sure the case was hopeless, they worked hard to restore respiration, but without avail, and after more than two hours of in cessant labor they pronounced her dead. An investigation of the prem ises showed that, . while * no Illuminating gas was used there, the pipes were already in place for the meter and fixtures. In a large closet in the hallway adjoining the bath room two large supply pipes, to which the meter was intended to be connected, led directly to the large gas main in the street. Connection had already been made between these supply pipes and the gas main, but a stop-cock in front of tlie bouse controlled the flow from the main into the house. To further protect the gas from escaping into the house, the ends of each of tbe supply pipes was supposed to be protected with an air-tight iron cap. One of the pipes had the cap on. but the other one had never been put in place. Yesterday men who were supposed to be plumbers were noticed working about the block, and it is supposed that they turned the stopcock which allowed the eas to es cape into the house. Inquiry at the gas office revealed • the fact that workmen employed by the gas campany had been sent there in the morning. The man in charge of the office was very reticent about the affair, and refused to * say who the men were or what work they had been doing further than to volunteer the remark that "everything was all right when our men left the place this morning." Everything, however, was not all right, as the capless pipe allowed the poison ous vapor to escape unchecked into the house, filling the entire premises with its deadly fumes, and resulting in the death of Mrs. Millman. The last person to see Mrs. Millman alive was Mrs. Gregory. The two wo men met on the balcony in the rear of their homes. Mrs. Millman was getting some kindling wood with which to start a fire. She complained to Mrs. Greg ory of a slight headache, and said she would lie down for a while. This was about 11 o'clock. No ono saw her again until her husband came home. Mrs. Millman, while not an iuval.d, was afflicted with catarrh, and she was un able to detect any odor. So prevalent were the deadly fumes that a pet kitten which was in an adjoining room died from the effects of it, and although all the doors and windows were open, the physicians forbade any one remaining in the place last night, Mrs. Millman was the youngest daughter of Judge E. R. Sprague, of Broadbent, Green county. Wis., and a niece of the present district attorney of that county. She was twenty-seven years of age and had only been married about two years. The young couple had no children. ■■ She was very popular and had a large circle of friends. Uer body will be taken to Wisconsin for in terment. LAI>Ii-S' RECi-PTION. Mrs. M. B.

The fifth annual meeting of the Swedish arid Norwegian Total Abstin ence societies was begun yesterday at the Swedish church, corner of Fifteenth avenue and Fourth street south. The morning session was taken up with the reading of the reports of the president, H.P. Ruth, and Secretary Nydahl. The afternoon was devoted to the discussion of various topics; among them being the feasibility of establishing a temperance newspaper printed in the Scandinavian language, the neuclus of such a paper to be the union of all the smaller tem perance organs now being published. The idea was advocated by 0. ii. Olson, editor of the Eau Claire Union, and was favorably considered by the- meeting. In the evening there were speeches by Rev. Eisteinsen, Prof. Oftedahl, Dr. Dablstedt and Prof. Bettersen and songs by the choir ot'Hauge's congregation. To-day's programme will include music and speaking. LOCAL MENTION.

Even in the later periods of that disease, the . cough is wonderfully relieved by this medicine. **• I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in my practice. This wonderful preparation once saved my life. I had a constant cough, night sweats, was greatly, reduced in flesh, and given up by my physician. One bottle and a naif of the Pectoral cured me."— A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton, Tennessee. '" Several years ago I was severely ill. The doctors said I was in consumption, and that they could do nothing for me, but advised me, as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine two or three months I was cured, and my health remains good to the present day."— Birchard, Darien, Conn. '•* Several years ago, on a passage home from California, by water, I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state-room, and a physician on board considered my., life in danger. Happening to have a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I used it freely, and my lungs were soon restored to a* healthy condition; ; Since then I have invariably recommended this prep aration."—J. B.

How Some Peop'e Allow a Word, ; Against Which '_ iiey Haveal'rcju dice,' to Stand ln the Way of Their Own Well- Being:., . The old lady who would ' not allow her son to have a fiddle, but was willing he should have a violin, is a fair example of the foolish prejudice ' which . very many people hove against certain words. Many persons might rejuse to take Chloride of Sodium, but would use salt, which is the same thing. Now it is this class of people who usually have a deep prejudice.. against the words alcohol or. whisky. They know that somebody has abused the use of these articles, and hence they denounce them altogether, In spite of the fact that the best scientists and the lead ing physician* of the Present day advocate and use them constantly.*. - Prof. Austin flint, of Bellevue (New York) College, sajs: "The judicious use of alco holic stimulants is one of the striking char acteristics cf progress in the practice of med icine during the last half century." - Prot. Joseph * Parrish, * the distinguished author,' says : "We know that alcohol will steady the heart, slow the pulse, warm the skin, calm excitement, and we ought to use it" Prof. M. G. Greenleaf, the well-known author, says; "An intelligentcomprehension of the action of alcohol and whisky, will have a greater Influence In promoting tem perance than adhesion to a dogma." Such high scientific authorities show that pure whisky should be used as a household remedy. No lather or mother need hesitate for a moment to administer Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky to the children, and it is simply bigotry to allow the word . whisky, which is the name of this medicine, to stand in the way of the wonderful benefits to be derived trom its use. . It should be remembered, how ever, that these effec a are only to be -secured by the use of a pure medicinal whisky like Duffy's, and care should be taken to use no other. - , ■ ■ - A-lUSOII-JiTS.
