MINNEAPOLIS. Additional City News on Page 6. , NOTE AND COMMENT. It is given out now tbat it would be a graceful and well earned recognition"of services to the city" if H. G. O. Mov ison should be appointed to fill the place on the park board made vacant by the death of the late E. M. Wilson, lt rather looks as though Bill King had asked that "Uncle Harry" should be appointed to look after his interests since his donation of swamp land whicli has made the affairs of the board of so "mutual" concern to him. , Manager Broadhurst thinks he was harshly dealt with by the powers that be of the Harris theater, and talks about a suit for damages. A great many will sympathize with the quiet little geutleman. with crushed straw berry hair; and, in his hour of darkness, he will undoubtedly have the sympathy of ex-Manager Friedlauder, who was dealt with in a similarly precipitous manner. ■ The present council will have the honor to-morrow afternoon of attend ing the funeral of the crossings case, as Solicitor Clark, of the Minneapolis «fc St. Louis, says a final settlement has been agreed upon for submission. The band should play "The Star Spangled Banner" on this occasion if upon no other. So Judge Rea has resigned his judge ship. Well, is he going to run for con gress or governor? And. by the way, who is to be selected to fill his unex pired term, so as to be given a half- Kelson hold on the place when the con vention comes off? Disgusted Republican — "Babb is about the worst 'dub' as a mayor and politician 1 ever heard of. The idea of his overlooking the aldermen from St. Louis, giving them such a slight! Es pecially when we want St. Louis to lend us the Gilmore band for the exposition and were trying to get people from that city to summer at Minnetonka. 1 should have thought common sense, if not po liteness, would have brought him to the front as the city's chief executive, even if he can't make a speech. Why, Doc Ames would have jumped at the op portunity, especially at a time when election was coming soon. He would have captured those St. Louis fellows so completely that they would have all wanted to move here so as to vote for him for mayor. Faugh! It makes me sick." The decision rendered Monday by Judge Mahoney, while looked upon by nine out of every ten men as just and right, will probably not meet with the unanimous approval of the members of the park board. That body looks upon the boulevards as its exclusive property, and it has made rules describing just what kind of vehicles shall invade their sacred precincts. Judge Mahoney has decided that a man has a perfect right to taice his family out for a pleasure drive in his business wagon, and that he has just as much right on the boule vard as his more fortunate neighbor who owns a handsome carriage. An attemnt has been made to make the citizens' meeting which was held in the council chamber on Monday night ; have a particular political significance and to prove that it was the opening gun of Dr. Kilvington's campaign for the mayoralty. Dr. Kilvington says emphatically that he is not a candidate for any office, and what is more, he would not accept the mayoralty if nominated and elected; so the young . men who have been trying to spring a sensation have only wasted their pow der. It is probable that the crossing cases will come up before the council coinit tee on railroads for the last time at the meeting to-day. The railroads have al ready-agreed" to do more than was suggested in the original attempt at compromise, and now that the matter is practically settled some of the members of the council are apt to hamper the closing of the deal by tacking on a few more items which "wiil benefit the city" some ami private property considerably more. Gentlemen, go slow. The sad drowning of the two little girls yesterday goes to show that there are a few mean men left in Minneapo lis. A sturdy Bohemian, who was with in easy reach of one of the girls, refused to aid her, and kept on with his work of gathering drift wood. What a contrast there was between the action of the man and the boy Johnson, who unhesi tatingly jumped into the water and suc ceeded in saving one child and recover ing the body of one of the others. But, then, Ed Johnson is a Minnesota boy, nnd the kind that make good citizens. H The members of the St. Louis coun cil carried away with them anything but a pleasant remembrance of the hos pitality of Minneapolis. The mayor was notified when the party would "ar rive, but no one was at the depot to meet them, and the visitors were al lowed to wander around without any one to point out the beauties of the "great metropolis of the Northwest." ' It certainly speaks well for the econ omy of the administration that no money was expended upon the people whom official courtesy naturally made the : guests of the city. Will this kiud of economy pay? Now that it is known that bogus dog tags are in existence it is in order to have each dog taken to the city clerk's office and branded with the seal of the city of Minneapolis. Even such a city as Charles E. Haynes describes in his single tax castle in the air. would become dead and uninterest ing when encumbered with a retrench ment and reform administration, with Gen. Babb at the helm. It is such gov ernment as that which makes a tired public fly even to the arms of the single taxists to lind release. «-*■----- LOCAL MENTION. $3 to Chicago.

Three Little Girls Fall Into a Mill-Race. Two Are Drowned. The Beard of Education Buys Land and Builds a School House. The Jury in Fanny Daven port's Case . Disagrees At Last. Judge Rea Surprises People by Resigning as Judge — Single Taxites. Two little girls were drowned in the Mississippi yesterday, and a third had a very narrow escape. About 1:30 p. m. Mamie Lovely, aged fourteen years, her sister Aggie, aged nine years, and Lillie Maine, a cousin, aged six years, left their home at 1214 Third street south to carry theii father's dinner. Charles Lovely is the dog catcher, and spends most of his time at the dog pound, which is located .on the lower end of Hennepin island. The children crossed the Tenth avenue bridge and passiug down the eastern abutment took the narrow footpath leading under the stone arch bridge. To reach the island j it is necessary to cross the raceway run ning from the Pillsbury A mill. Just under the stone arch bridge a narrow plank is thrown across about six inches above the seething waters. It would take a man with steady nerves to cross that plank, but the little girls started out fearlessly. Mamie was in the lead and held her cousin by the hand, while Aggie was last. When about the center i of the plank Mamie slipped and fell into the water, dragging the two smaller girls after her. The strong current carried them rapidly down the river. Mrs. John Foley, who lives near the Tenth avenue bi idge.saw the girls fall from the plank, and screamed lor help. A number of men and boys were catching driftwood on the piers built out in the water. Mrs. Foley's cries told them what happoued. The body of Aggie was seen floating rapidly away, lt passed within a few ] feet of a .Bohemian who was catching driftwood, but he coolly fastened his pikehook into a plank that floated by, and allowed the child to pass him. A few yards below him stood Ed Jonnson, a seventeen-year-old boy, who works when he has any to do in Hall & Ducy's saw mill. Ed. like the Bohemian, was engaged in catching driftwood, but when he saw the child he threw off his coat and plunged into the swift current; a few strokes and . he caught Aggie by the arm and rapidly made the shore. She was unconscious. Handing her to the women who had gathered on the bant, he ran down along the shore about 200 yards, where a number of women were yelling to a man on the other side of the river to bring a boat. Every once in a while Mamie could be seen "struggling in the water, but as Johnson reached the women she sank. Johnson again plunged into the water and sneceded after a hard struggle in reaching the shore with the girl, but she was dead. She was carried into the mission house and Dr. Levitt was hast ily summoned. Everything that could be was done to resuscitate her, but in vain. When Johnson handed the ap parently lifeless tiody of Aggie to the women she was carried into the house of William Kairsol, and, under the prompt treatment of the women, some of whom knew just what to do. she was soon brought back to life. The police were at once notified of the drowning and a squad of officers, assisted by a number of men and boys, made a diligent search of the river below for a mile or more, but no trace of Lillie's body could be found. \ Coroner Towers viewed the body of Mamie, and gave permission for its re moval to her father's house. The acci dent caused the most intense excite ment on the Hats. The Bohemian who allowed one of the girls to pass him was roundly denounced, and everybody says that too much credit cannot be given to Ed Johnson, the boy who rescued Ag gie, and who succeeded in bringing the body of Mamie ashore. The body of Lillie was not recovered up to a late hour last night. MORE SCHOOL BUILDING. North alinneapolis to Have a New Building for Next Term. The school board held a meeting last evening, all being present with the ex ception of Prof. J. G. Moore. The board decided to purchase eight lots in Marshall Street addition on California street and Grand avenue, on which will be erected at once a four-room building, one-half of a plan for an eight-room structure, uniform witli the Tuttle building. The school will be pushed rapidly to completion, and be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the fall term, lt'is to cost $13,000. A supply of school desks was ordered purchased, 2,000 in all, enough to sup ply all the requirements for the present year. A bid was received from the Burlington School Furniture com pany of. $1.90 each, the Minneapolis Office and School Furniture company submitting a bid of $2.15. The furniture furnished by the latter being of a su perior quality, and the firm being also a local-one. the board decided to patron ize home industry, and the contract was awarded the Minneapolis concern. The roll of teachers was passed, con taining 530 names in all, 30 of them be ing new appointments. These will be published in the Globe of June 7. Bills amounting to §2.732 were ordered paid. A change was made in the course of study, lightening it somewhat, by sub stituting Reed & Kellogg's one-book course for Swinton's grammar, in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, and extending "How to Talk" through the fifth grade. The detail work on Canada and the British possessions was cut out from the geography of the fourth grade. There was fixed a standard school term, as follows: September term. 16 weeks, vacation 1 week school term of 11 weeks, followed by a vacation of 1 week; school term of II weeks, followed hy the summer vacation of 12 weeks. A bill was presented from Emma Hood, a sister of Dr. Mary Hood, one of the corps of teachers, for full pay dur ing a sickness caused by a fall which sprained her ankle, while entering the high school building. The board finally allowed her half pay, mounting to $64, not because it was obligatory upon it, but on account of her efficiency as a teacher and the fact of her being in jured while in the dieeharge of her duties. FAILED TO AGREE. No Result Reached in the Case Against Fanny Davenport. After being out nearly twenty-four hours the jury which considered the cases against Fanny Davenport reported that they could not agree, and were dis charged. What effect this will have upon the case it is hard to say. The litigation has no doubt been an expen sive one for Miss Davenport. Her per sonal attention to the case, including, her trip from New York, and the employment ot Judge Dittenhoefer, with ' the expense attendant upon securing the legal services of such an attorney as Frank F. Davis, cost her. good judges say, not less than $4,000. Whether the matter will ever come to trial again is. therefore, a question. One of the plaintiffs is responsible for the statement that Judge :. Ditteuhott'er told him that he had advised Miss Dav enport to settle the matter before it came to trial. If this be true * a settle THE SAINT PAUL. DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNINTG". MAY 28, 1890. ment without any further litigation may now be decided upon. It is understood that on the first bal lot ten jurors voted for. $1,000 for the plaintiffs, but the other two were for the defendant, i- It gradually narrowed down to something like ?150 until ? late in the day a; ballot was taken to find out just how many favored the plaint iffs for any amount. It was : ascer tained that just one man was obdurate and could never be changed, so the jury agreed to disagree, went to sleep and reported their agreement yesterday. JUDGE REA TO RESIGN. He -Will Engage in Active Law Practice. A vacancy will occur on the district bench of Hennepin county in a short time, when Judge John P. Rea will re tire from nis judgeship and again re sume the active practice of law. The resignation will be tendered in a day or two, and will take effect at the close of the present term. He will at once enter into a partnership with John M. Miller and Ell Torrence. the firm's offices to be located in the Guaranty Loan building. The present firms of Miller, Young & Akers. and Torrence & Fletcher will be. dissolved, and Messrs. Miller and Tor rence will move into the new office in a couple of weeks. When asked in re gard to the report. Judge Rea said: "It is all true. I shall hand in my resigna tion in a day or two. This may appear to be a rather sudden move on my part, but it is the result of nearly two years deliberation. I have long desired to re sume the practice of the law, preferring it, as 1 do, to my duties on the bench. During the past twelve years my prac tice lias been seriously interrupted by mv judicial experience, 1 have served four years now on the district court bench. From 1881 to 1885 1 was engaged in active practice, but during the four I years preceding 1 was probate judge. As I said before, I prefer to practice law rather than to administer it. and. therefore, I have at last made up my mind to resign." The judge's regular term would ex pire on Jan. 1 next, and a successor would be elected to fill the vacancy, therefore the appointee to be selected by the governor wiil have but six months to serve. The news is a sur prise in law circles, and as yet no one has been thought of for a successor. THE SINGLE TAXISTS. Charles E. Haynes Tells of a Model City Under Single Tax. The attendance at the Single Tax league was rather slim last evening. President Bueil addressed a large num ber of chair-backs when he arose and moved that the league give its indorse ment to a bill now before congress al lowing free entry to imports received in exchange for articles of export. Since Bueli had given his voice to it, of course the motion was carried. Next came a proposition to appoint a committee to confer with committees from other societies to wait upon the city assessor, to hold an argument with him looking to a more equal system of local taxation. Considerable argument followed this motion, and a gentleman with a bowing grizzled beard arose, gripped the chair in front of him, and, waving a long in dex finger at Chairman Buell, started, at freight-train speed, on a spread-eagle speech, in which he brought the Ameri can eagle to the front, seated upon the palladium of liberty. Mr. Buell warned him that he was somewhat off the track, but he was not to be coughed down, and the flow of eloquence proceeded. "What is tne gentleman's name?" asked Mr. Buell. The speaker came to a full stop, eyed the hazardous president for a moment, and, shifting his section of Climax to the other side of his cheek, said, in tones that startled the policeman on the next corner. "R. W. Staunton, of Colorado." Buell subsided, and Staunton, from Colorado, branched off ou to Galena ore and Colorado industry until he became thirsty and wandered off in the middle of a sentence to see a friend. After the orator of the evening had left, the resolution was passed, and the follow ing committee of nine was appointed by the president: Oliver T. Erickson, chairman: F. B. Long. William Donald son. Alfred ShailocK, J. B. Bassett, C. J. Buell. Rev. William Wilkinson, E. M. Goodrich and 11. B. Martin. Charles E. Haynes, editor of the Northwest Labor, read the paper of the evening, telling what a city would be under single tax. The paper was an excellent piece of literary work, but was too highly colored, and dealt with too heavy adjectives for an ordinary audience. He began with primitive man. and followed him down to his settlement in a society or municipality. He said that the first come wa« first served in the choice of land, and the balance had to take what was left. He roasted the speculative system, and said that single tax would do away with all that. He closed by claiming a city only next to heaven with broad boulevards and immense parks, a happy people with no work to do and plenty of money, under the beneficent influence of a single tax. After the reading there was considerable discussion over the paper, and the evening's talk did not close until a late hour. THE SMITH LAW. Will It Interfere With Holden's Execution. There is a prospect that the friends of Ilolden, the Redwood Falls murderer, will make an effort to stay the execution which should take place on June 17. They claim that the judgment against him was unconstitutional, inasmuch as it is in accordance with the John Day Smith law, which was not in force at the time of the commitment of the crime. The law does not increase the punishment, however, but simply sets the time of the execution and the num ber of witnesses. When asked his opin ion, Mr. Smith said: "1 would rather not express an opinion until I have given the matter some attention. I have just returned home to-day and haven't had time to give anything much thought. But speaking off hand, I would say that I do not see how the law can affect Hold eu's case. It doesn't prescribe any greater penalty. It merely changes the time of its infliction from day to night. This was done to avoid the usual pub licity attendant upon an execution, and the publication of the revolting details. It can't affect the person to be executed, for it deprives him of no rights. Ido not deem this an ex post facto law. There is no real change in the penalty. The case would be different if the pen alty had been increased." Council Committee Work. At the meeting of the committee on water works yesterday bills and pay rolls for May amounting to 573.737.03 were approved. City Engineer Rinker was directed to select a route and make an estimate of the cost of extending the thirty-six-inch water main from Twen tieth avenue north to Fifth avenue south. It is generally supposed that this extension will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $110,000. R. R. Eldridge. who owns the prop erty at the corner of Riverside and Cedar avenues, appeared: before the railroad committee and protested against the manner in which the street railway compauy had put in the curve at that point for the new electric line. The matter: was referred to the city engi neer, and will be considered at the next meeting of the committee. The committee on sewers agreed to recommend the construction of sewers on Delaware street, from Church to Oak ; streets; on Third avenue south, from Twenty -sixth to Twenty -seventh streets; on Ridgewood avenue, from Pleasant avenue toLyndale avenue; on -. Seventh street southeast, _ from Thir teenth to Fourteen avenues, and. on ! Thomas : place,* rom *E1 wood to Logan streets. ■- . - ':'. The committee on salaries agreed to ■ ; recommend *to the council that the - newly ; appointed wire inspector, W. J. ? ; Demming, be place d: at $1,500 per an- ; num. I i LOCATIONJELECTED. The New Athletic and. Social Club Leases Its Quar ters. . Three Floors of the Harris Theater? Building to Be Occupied- ( Arrangements Being Made for-: Its Maintainance on a Liberal Scale.. The Club to Materialize and Beg-in Active Life Within Thirty Days. The trustees of the Minneapolis Ath letic and Social club yesterday decided upon a location. Several buildings had been under consideration for the past two weeks.andthe matter was carefully looked into, and the trustees feel cer tain they have made a selection that will be generally approved of by mem bers of the club. The location selected comprises the three floors of the Harris theater building, aside trom the theater, proper, which were originally planned for club usage when the building was erected. The club's quarters can be reached either by a stairway on the right of the theater entrance or by the elevator from- the the theater lobby. The first floor will be taken up by the reception room, opening into the club parlor, which is to be elegantly furnished. There will also be on this floor one of the best-appointed cafes in the city, the service of which it is in tended shall be par excellence. The culinary department will be at the top, or fifth floor of the building, and will be reached from the cafe by a dumb waiter. 'The second floor contains two large rooms, one of which will be used: as a billiard hall and the other as a reading and lounging room. The gymnasium, which will be the main feature, will occupy the entire fourth floor. The main room was planned as a dance hall, and as it is two stories high it is admirably adapted tor the purposes of the gymnasium, which will be equipped with the most approved and modern apparatus used for muscular exercise. This room occupies about two-thirds of the floor, and the balance will contain two dressing rooms, baths, lockers, etc. As has been stated, the kitchen occupies that portion of the fifth floor not included in the gymnasium, all of the rooms are spacious apart ments, finished in hardwood, and the Minnesota Loan and Trust company, wiiich owns the building, agrees to paper the rooms to be occupied by the cafe, reception room and parlor hand somely, while the rooms in the other places will be kalsomined in pleasing tints. The rooms will be heated by steam throughout and lighted by elec tricity, and in every respect the club will be handsomely furnished and equipped. The lease is for the term of five years dating from July 1 when the "club expects to begin active life. Manager Gooding is to "select fur niture, etc.. at once, and Instructor John Donaldson the apparatus for the gymnasium. The call will be made to day for members to pay their subscrip tions through the Bank of Minneapolis, and within about thirty days' Minneap olis will have one of the best appointed and most elegantly furnished ath- ■ letic and social _lub houses in the coun- i try. It is not intended now that the membership shail much ex- j ceed the three hundred mark, and \ it would be more exclusive than was ; first contemplated, when the idea en tertained was of having a large hall in which contests similar to those con ducted by the California club,. which j could be attended by large crowds^ could occur. Such exhibitions as the j club intends to give will take place: in the gymnasium, which can comfortably seat from 300 to 500 people. Only club* members are to be admitted, and as soon as the membership has reached 300 the initiation fee is to be raised to an amount that will act as a check against any promiscuous gatherings. As the initiation fee is now placed at 510. with dues at $2.50 per month, which entitles members to all club privileges, with in structions by Prof. Donaldson. There has been quite an eagerness on the part of the athletically inclined to join, and although no canvass has been made nearly two hundred names have been secured, embracing many of the best men in the city, for the board of trus tees to pass upon. RUSSELL AT HOME. Sol Smith Talks About His New Play. Sol Smith Russell, the favorite come- • dian, is at home in Minneapolis, having closed his season about three weeks ago,. and finished the rehearsals of his new play which he is to produce next sea son, written by Dion Boucicault, to be called '-The Crank." The play was written expressly for Mr. Pvussell, and in his opinion it will be a complete suc cess, as it is not a one part play, but it is one that requires a good company. The play will be put on for a trial week, opening at the Arch Street The ater, Philadelphia, Aug. 4, and alter another weeKs rehearsal the regular season will open at Daly's theater, New York, on Aug. 18. Mr. Russell, says: "When I was up here last win ter 1 was enthusiastic about it.- and talked considerable, so much that Bouci cault called me down. His idea is, and 1 think it is a good one. that as long as you can keep a play enshrouded in an air of mystery, the better the New York critics like it. The scenery will be painted by Richard Marston, of the Madison Square Theater, and the prop erties are in the hands of George Henry, which insures a good setting. lam in love with the play and I think it will be a go. 1 will play it exclusively all the season. 1 will remain iv Minneap olis during my vacation."

This one particu lar juryman was of a business turn of mind, and he did not intend to allow his services to the state go unrewarded, and substantially rewarded at that.. He inquired how much he would receive ; for the privilege which had been accorded him of listening to the eloquence of F. F.

How women fall was well illustrated by the case of Nettie Eldridge, who was fined; in .the county jail for some . weeks and finally released, no indict- ment having been found against her:: by the grand jury. She had been arrested for stealing a sealskin sacque.: She was a married woman, but Eldridge was not her real name.-- Her husband had .been ■ a telegraph operator, but had been un fortunate. ■;.-. He was _ a poor t man. v His v life-had : been one ? of - discouragement : and trouble, but he had a heart.and one corner ot it was stiil filled by the woman who stood charged with a crime. He ; would not visit her at the jail, but he secured an attorney for her, telling z her that, could she clear herself, he would; take her back, to his home. The poor woman's story went to the grand, jury, it was believed, and she is aft-tin :-. lead ing an honest life. Her tale of mis fortune illustrates the: smoothness of the downward" road,* although iit; does not free her from blame. Her husband was much away from : home. _ In some unexplained way she became acquaint ed with women of questionable _ repute. Through them she met others who were worse. With some of these one night . she was engaged in a debauch and be came intoxicated. A: saloon bartender offered to take .. her and a companion home. . Instead they were taken to an assignation house. From there the seal skin sack was taken. When Mrs. El dridge awoke in the morning she- found the garment beside her in her own house. She did not know whether sin had borrowed it,: or stolen it, or taken it by mistake. . But there it was and she was arrested for theft. Those who had her arreseed, however, knew no more about it than did she. Hence : tbe case dropped through. Her fall was easy, hut now Mrs. Eldridge is penitent, and it is hoped that she has received a warn ing. Morris Durnam .Talks. Morris Durnam, who was shot by Emma Schmidt, says he has not been treated fairly. He claims that the grand jury only gave him a partial chance to tell his story; ln speaking of the matter he said: "The charge that I seduced Emma Schmidt is absolutely and unqualifiedly false.. 1 do not care to say anything as to her character one way or the other, nor will I. It was not that I am desirous of having her im prisoned: I simply wanted a chance to clear myself from these imputations in open court, and that chance was refused me by the grand jury. Why, the grand jury did not even take the trouble to examine the girl, and actually did not know her story except as it came to them second-hand . and unsworn to. - I think, as an old citizen and a taxpayer, 1 was entitled to be heard." Sick Headache IS a complaint from which many suffer and few are entirely free. Its cause is indigestion and a sluggish liver, the cure for which is readily found in the use of Ayer's Pills. " I have found that for sick headache, caused by a disordered condition of the stomach, Aver's Tills are the most re liable remedy."— Samuel C. Bradburn, Worthington^ Mass. "After the use of Ayer's Pills for many years, in my practice and family, I am justified in saying that they are an excellent cathartic and liver medicine sustaining all the claims made for them." — W. A. Westfall, M. D.. V. P. Austin & N. W. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas: - "Ayer's Pills are the best medicine known to me for regulating the bowels, and for all diseases caused by a dis ordered stomach and liver. I suffered for over three years from headache, in digestion, and constipation. I had no appetite and was weak and nervous most of the time. By using three boxes of Aver's Pills, and at the same time dieting myself, I was completely cured." — Philip Loekwood, Topeka, Kansas. " I was troubled for years with indi gestion, constipation, and headache. A few boxes of Ayer's Pills, used in small daily doses, restored me to health. They are prompt and effective." W. H.
