AOL. XIII. DONNELLY DEMOBS. The Pioneer Press Files an Answer in the Big 1 Action for Damages. And the Sage Demands a Bill of Particulars for His In formation. The Spring* Docket Shows Cases as Thick as the Flowers in May. Judge Lochren Renders a De cision in the Sliver Bell Mine. The Pioneer Press lias made answer to the complaint of Ignatius Donnelly in his suit for damages, and tin.* paper's attorney will not take a change of venue, allowing the matter to come to trial here. The answer admits the pub lication.and also maintains the charges, deciding to fight it out. in reference! to the letter of W. S. King, it states tliat the document was public property, and as such allowable to publish. One poinl made is that the letter was published in all the other papers of the city, and yet the suit was not commenced against them. It looks like a political fitrht through the courts, for the long docu ment goes through his public career, giving as many dius as it can. The final claim is that the character and reputation of Mr. Donnelly at the time of 1 1 1 - - miblieation was bad instead of pood. The matter came up before Juugu uieks on a motion to require tin paper to state fully and definitely the name of the officer or a^ent of the Cen tral Pacific Railway company through whom the plaintiff is charged With bav ins received the sum of £0,000 on or about the lime stated in the answer, and to state the name of any officer or agent of whom the plaintiff demanded any sum. To state also on what bank or person the check J was drawn, by whom where, paid and the date ii was paid. A )) affidavit accompanied the motion in which Don nelly swears that he is innocent of the charges, and needs information to de fend himself aeainst the accusations. The defense claimed that the bill of particulars was not necessary. Judge JlicUs thought, as usual, that the point was a line one, ami took it under ad visement, at the same tune drawing from the attorneys the fact that the case would probably come to trial this coming term. THE APRIL GENERAL TERM. A Ij.irjie Liist of Cases to Be Dis posed of Before Summer. Tuesday the April term of the district court opens, and the court house will be again lilted with the several hundred or more attorneys waiting to have their cases set for trial. The court rooms have been newly papered, and look as clean as a Lowry Hill mansion after the spring cleaning. Tiie calendars are ready to be distributed, and to-morrow morning- every attorney will receive one for reference. Tin- book will contain 74!) cases in civil actions and some twenty-six crimi nal actions, makimr in all a heavy list that will keep the judges busy for some time before they are all disposed of. Among tne latter are tne indictments against Leo lleilpern.iu whose case the jury disagreed at the former trial. The little Tole is now out on bail. The Bal lard anil Bostwick cases, which have been on the calendar for the past two years, still occupy a position on its pages. There are ten names whose owners are charged with bastaidy. Thomas Sawyer, Charles A. Carlson, August Peterson, John Glenn, Edward Wagner, Benjamin Racklif, Gust Ander son, .John Benson and Frank Thome. The judges are returning to their du ties, and will all be on hand, even to Thomas Canty, who has entirely recov ered from his recent illness, anil is pre pared to take up his work again. .Judge Lochren will be assisted by Judges Smith and Canty in the civil jury cas r es, Judges Hooker and Hicks have charge of the court cases, and Judge Pond, for the first time, will be allowed to take a rest from those dry lien cases, and take charge 'of the criminal calendar. There are a large number of damage cases on the calendar, a larger srrist than ever before, owing to the thrifti ness of that modern hyena known as the "specialty attorney," whose modes are too well known to need comment. The grand jury will meet on Tuesday, when it is expected some rather inter esting cases will be brought before its notice, and tiie mask torn from the face of cloaked crime, as usual, when that august body gets together. On the whole, the term will be a busy one. JUDGE IiOCHKEN DECIDES £ke Much-Disputed Silver Bell Mine Case. • The suit of. Salina E. Newton vs. The Silver Hell Mining Company and George 11. Van Duseo has been decided, as far as the district court eoes, by the de cision of Judge Luehren filed yesterday. The case was tried at great length last term and a decision practically made public. The plaintiff sued to be allowed to reclaim the mine and also to be paid a part of the money said to have been taken out in the shape of ore. Judge Lochren allows the plaintiff to reclaim upon payment of 500,i39. As for reim bursement, the court holds that the company has paid out considerable sums in improvements, and docs not allow that count. The defendants claim that the mine has never paid. MALT FOR THE EAST. ft AVillße Prepared by the Minne apolis Brewers. The Minneapolis Brewing company will take a hand soon at working for the Eastern brewers, who are great suffer ers under the McKinley bill. Eastern be'jr makers cannot get enough barley. The Minneapolis Brewing company has decided to go into the malting business. .Minnesota barley i< of a good quality, and the local breWers believe they can develop a profitable business by malting for Eastern concerns. The lleinrich & Noert nburg establishment wiil be de voted to malting solely. Contracts for 40,000 bushels of malt have already been taken. When the new brewery in Northeast Minneapolis is finished the brewing facilities of the local company will be vastly increased. Then more attention can be paid to malting. Louis Le.hle, the Chicago 'brewery architect, arrived in Minneapolis yes terday to put the finishing touches to the plans for the new $1,000,000 brew ery on the Orth site. The main build ing will be an 1,-shaped structure 204 feet on Marshall avenue aud 330 feet on " — . __^ _ ■- - ' ' '' ■■ i • ~ m *»m^ . - — ... Thirteenth avenue. H will be four stories in height, with portions run ning up to six stories to suit the neces sities of the bifsiness. '1 he malt house of the old Orth brewerj will be en larged to meet the needs of the new concern. The system of beermaking will be all that modern invention can suggest. The process to be employed is patented by Conrad Berkhofer, the superintendent of the company, who for a number of years was the superin tendent of the old Orth company. The brewery will he built with a capacity for 200,000 barrels a year, and facilities for increasing this capacity to :>OO,OOO barrels. The new building will be handsome, architecturally, similar in appearance to the Exposition building. TO ENLARGE POWDERHORX. Additions to That Park Are Or dered at Lust. Yesterday's park board meeting was not a grand affair. There was little business, and the session was short. The veto of the charter was, of course, discussed. The straight-out Republi cans pretended to think that the cover lior had done a statesmanlike piece of wort in vetoing the charter, Mich a piece of work as denotes the possession of a bulging brow by the agent thereof. But it was comparatively easy to see that they didn't mean it/ Most of the men on the park board are men of some breadth of understanding. They can't see that the governor has gained anything by his veto except the support of a lot of lick spittle polticians. The Democratic members unanimously condemned the governor's action for the very good reasons already voiced. The only mem bers of the board who were really pleased by the veto were the men ap pointed to go down t<> .^i. Paul and lob by for Uw. charter amendment practi cally re-enacting the old law. They es caped a lot ot work. Tho first really important business of the meeting was the report of the .spe cial committee on Powderhorn park en largement. This report was adopted. Immediate steps will be taken to make Powaerhorn a park in more than name only. All of the property that can be purchased by certificates will be so se cured: the remeiiicler will be con demned. The property to be acquired by condemnation proceedings will not exceed, in value, *15,000. The presi dent and secretary of the board were authorized to issue the certificates of purchase, and the attorney was directed Co begin proceedings to acquire the re mainder by condemnation. The en largement will not cost, it is figured. more than $100,000. By the certificates of purchase plan, none of this will have to be paid out of the park board's fund except the $15,000 for cordemned land. The East side boulevard matter came up for discussion. The special commit tee which has charge of this matter has not yet secured expressions of opinion from East side property owners and Use citizens' committee appointed to push this project. The committee also de sires to come to an understanding with the regents of the university, who claim to own a part of the road which it is in tended to use for boulevard purposes. The special committee will meet next Thursday morning at '.) o'clock at Elev enth avenue southeast and University avenue ».o look over the land and to talk with interested property owners. A change was made in the date of park board meetings. Several of the members find it inconvenient to ait nd on Saturday. For their accommodation the board will meet he.c it r on Wednesday afternoon. The secretary reported the March settlement with the county oflicials. The board is now in good financial con dition, though with not any too much money. The usual number of applications for positions on the park police force was received and the applications filed. WANT A MONOPOLY. Employment Agents Object to a Reduction of the License Fee. The lamer employment agents are fighting the bill relating to their busi ness now before the legislature. By the terms of the bill the license fee is reduced from $100 to 825. aud the bond required of the agent is cut down from $10,000 to $5,000. K. R. Koch, the Min neapolis agent of Clapp, Winston «fcCo., says of the bill: "If this bill becomes a law it will in jure the laboiing people of the North west to a great extent, because then the employment business cannot be con trolled, It will induce a great many in experienced men to engage in the busi ness, and they will be in hot water all the time, as it used to be years ago, when there was a*so license. We have been trying for years to put this busi ness in a position where it can be con trolled by a few responsible parties, and have finally succeeded, but we will not be able to hold it there if this bill is passed. The city would also lose about $1,000 in the reduction of the license fee. The responsible parties in the business are perfectly satisfied with the present law." WILBUR'S SIDE OF IT. He Insists That Miss Baker and Wheel an Offended Grievously. Manager Wilbur eives a different version of the difficulty between him and some of the principals of his comic opera organization. He s&ys that Miss May Baker made damaging allegations against the character of a chorus girl. He told the girl, he says, that she must leave the company or disprove the as sertions. She cleared herself to his en tire satisfaction. Of the trouble that occurred at the theater Friday morning, he says : "Yesterday at rehearsal I called all of the company on the stage, and in their presence made a clean statement of her conduct and ordeied her to leave the theater within ten minutes. She ven tured no defense and left. I then turned to Mr. Wheelan and told him he could go, giving as my reason that he had aided Miss Baker in securing her trunk from the theater the night before, which is strictly against the rules." The members of the company who have disagreed with Wilbur stick to their side of the story. Moreover they say things about Manager Wilbur that would not look well in print. Miss Baker's place will be taken by Miss Gonzales, of the Bijou opera company, Philadelphia. She will arrive next week, in time to enter the cast the fol lowing week. Wheelan's place will be taken by W. H. Kohnle, of the "Barrel of Money"' company, who was formerly with the company. Will Spauldine, of the same company, has also been" en gaged as first tenor to work with Mr. (Jonley. The Lumber Cut, The Lumberman. It predicts a total cut at Minneapolis this year of from 400,000,000 to 465,000, --000 feet of lumber, or between 55,000, --000 and 120,000,000 more than the largest season's cut. Most ot the mills h?ve increased capacity, several will run nights throughout "the season, and all will saw a month or more longer than they did last year. As to the logging operations, tile Lumbermau says: "In dications now point to the opening of [ the river within ten days or two weeks. SAINT PAUL JSIINN?., SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1891.— SIXTEEN PAGES. Logging on the main river and its trib utaries will be entirely abandoned within two or three days, and prepara tions for driving are advancing apace. There is little doubt ot success in the first drive, as there is everywhere an abundance of water. The spring is pretty well advanced in the Rum river, and Hill man brook countries, and driv ing has already < ominenced 011 tributa ries of the former stream." NOTE AND COMMENT. A good deal of gratuitous abuse has been heaped upon the Hennepin dele gation all winter long because they paid no attention to the liepublican demand that the charter be submitted to a vote of the people. Now the Republicans rub their hands and chuckle and say: ••U c told you so. We were right. Al ways submit such questions to a vote of the people as we do and you'll come out all right." It is time such nonsensi cal talk was stopped. The plain truth regarding the defeat of the charter is that the governor absolutely disregard ed precedent and inteifered in purely local matters at the command ot a few politicians. Popular votes on such questions do not amount to much either. At the last election two constitutional amend ments of vital importance were submit ted to the people. How many voters voted on them? Then, the Hennepin delegation was merely following prece dent. They were elected to revise the charter. To say that charter revision was not an issue in the last election is to deliberately misstate facts. The Democrats promised to revise the char ter and they worked with tiiat end in view. That they did not succeed is not their fault. Republican delegates to the legislature have invariably refused to submit any sort of question to the people. As Jacob Sloft said yesterday: "Two years au;o Republicans were elected by South Minneapolis votes on their distinct promise to extend the pa trol limits. When elected they virtually said: 4 The people be damned. We are the people now and we'll do as we please.' " "I *cc that some of the Eastern news papers treat as a joke the proposition to run Lieut. Gov. Edward F. Jones for governor of New York," remarked an ex-New Yorker at the West last night, l'liey have no riuht to. Jones is all right. 1 knew him quite well when I lived in Biuihamton, N. V., bis home, ills first taste of politics ne received nearly six years a^o, when given the second place on the Democratic ticket with Hill. Jones was regarded as a good deal of a joke then, because he w;is an unpretentious sort of fellow, 1 suppose, and dealt with farmers. He was a scale manufacturer and did l>ig business. His rattier handsome face, adorned by a long, sweeping mustache, was familiar to every reader of every country paper in New York. underneath his picture always ap pealed the sentence, "Jones, he pays the freight." Jones had always at tended strictly lo business, and wasn't well known in politics. So. after he was Dominated, whenever tiie question, "Why was such an obscure man put upon the stale ticket?" was asked, the answer would be: "Well, Jones, be pays the freight." That advertising trick of Jones' was made the most of by the Republican press, and he was guyed unmercifully, lint he was elected and re-elected. The Democrats of New York can make worse nominations than Jones. He lias demonstrated that he has a good head. And lie continues to "pay the rreigut." It turns out that H. P. Robinson, of the Northwestern Railroader, is the "op timist"' who wrote the thirty-six-page pamphlet "Federal City,*' and he has done quit;: well for an optimist on small capital just starting outiua small way. If Bun-ill was only here what a splen did chance he would have to preach a Republican sermon on the charter, and get himself talked about. Tbe Danz concert programme to-day is a gem. and the people who say "I haven't-heard-Danz-this - winter" had better not be too andante in their move ments in getting tickets. The Pat Gibbons whose removal as janitor in the Everett school is made a matter of more importance in the Even in? Journal than the retirement of the manager of the Grand opera house, is not the immortal Pat Gibbons of Sons of Rest fame. That renowned individ ual was selling Catholic Bibles iv Chi cago when last heard of. The author of "Down Went McGin ty" is to play at tho Pence Opera house this week, ami perhaps his life may be spared, as time has partially healed the wounds he was the cause of inflicting, but the author of "Annie Kooney" had better not advertise himself extensively when he visits the city, as there is no telling to what lengths an incensed populace may go when thoroughly aroused. If J. G. Gluck had lived Minneapolis would have had another theater this year, as he intended remodeling the Domestic block on Nicollet avenue, near Fourth street, for occupancy as a pop ular price theater. Mr. Gluck's sudden death by the way will be a convincing argument to some that opals brine bad luck. For the Dast year or so he has had almost a mania for collecting these stones, and had several thousand dollars worth of them at the time of his death. E. A. Foster,a traveling man, returned to the city last night and stopped at the Nicollet. He had been to Chicago. Some one asked him if he saw Penning ton's air ship. "Yes," said he, "and it is the biggest (he used another word) fraud ever per petrated. 1 went to the exposition building there just like the rest of the suckers, and paid 25 cents to see it. Does it work? Well, I should say it does— the scheme, not the ship. I'll tell you what it is. There is a cigar shaped gas bag made of the lightest silk. From it is suspended a paper car. At the rear is a miniature electric motor which works fans to propel the thing. The whole business doesn't weigh ten pounds. It is called a working model, and it works. The propeller 1 spoke of moves the ship, and a string tied to it keeps traveling in a circle. That's all there is to it. It's just a big toy balloon. But then I'm a skeptic in the matter of air ships. Now, that model of Pennine ton's, which doesn't weigh, as I said, ten pounds, and doesn't iupport any weight to speak of, is about twelve feet long. A ship capable of carrying much weight would have to be, It seems to me, several hundred feet long and built proportionately. How are you going to manage a big contrivance like that in the face of strong air currents?*' And the drummer wandered away, lost m meditation on his recklessness in squandering the price of five beers. T. A. Cotharin has started another club, to be known as the "Lotos," lo cated at the corner ot Sixth street and Second avenue south. Mr. Cotharin has had considerable experience as a club starter, having started tea in the past four years, aud the selection of "Lotos" for a name is quite appropri ate, as the word is symbolic of creation.

A blaze in the rear of the building known as the "White Elephant," at 226 First street south, caused a good deai of smoke last night at 10 o'clock, and drew a big crowd to that delectable locality. The fire department was prompt and efficient, so that not much damage was done. The house ot Jennie Jones ad joining was damaged by water some what. The "White Elephant" had been vacant three months, its last occupant being Hattie Cole. It belonged to the Great Northern Railway company, and the inmates of the houses on the * street are inclined to think it was set on fire for the purpose of making the neighbor hood uncomfortable for them.

The removal of Patrick Gibbons as janitor of the Everett school is said to have stirred up considerable feeling, or rather the deposed Mr. Gibbons and bis friends are making it their business to 6tir up considerable feeling. It is claimed Gibbons' discharge is due to tUe enmity of John Norton, of the school board, who has had John McNnlty, his brother-in-law, appointed as Gibbons' successor. The principal of the Ever ett school and others are to be asked to state their causes of complaint against Gibbons, and something of a row is threatened. Learn to Ride.

Judge Hooker heard a demurrer en- i tered in Uie case of Lena Larson vs. Dr. Charles A. Chase and Pearl Hall. The argument was that a dead body was not property in the eyes of the law and that damages could only be secured for mental anguish when it occurs apart from an injury to the person. The case was argued at much length and the matter finally taken under advisement. The articles of incorporation of the Reporter Fublishine com pan v weie filed yesterday with the register of deeds.
