To the Editor of the Globe. There are some who are not surprised at the daily articles in the Pioneer Press regarding the Broadway bridge. We expected it. We know why it takes this up as if it were a personal matter. We know the source from which it ema nates. It is unjust and unfair. Thfi article the other day headed '"Munici pal Folly" and the editorial of the same date are misrepresentations, false, de ceiving and trying to hoodwink the public. It is creating the impression among the citizens that the bridge is to be built at once. It has daily interviews with business men regarding the build ing of the bridee at present. The other night the business men's union, through the same source, of which union 1 am a member, but was prevented from being present, passed a resolution postponing the building of the bridge. Now all these people do not know what they are talking or kicking about. 1 will venture to make the bold assertion right here that there are not fifty men in St. Paul today, including all aldermen, city offi cials and attorneys connected vyith the matter, that are acquainted with and intelligently understand the exact stat us of the Broadway bridge. The Pio neer Press can go on for a whole year, and till its columns daily with inter views opposed to the building of the bridse at present. No one wants it now. Even among its most enthusiastic supporters there is not one that is in favor of having it built at present. Why? First, because the city's debt is large enough. Secondly, because it will take more than three years before all the suits in this matter will be settled and before the building of the bridge can be recommenced. The question today before the public is not whether or not the bridge shall be built at once.but the real matter at issue is: Does Mr. Hill or the city of St. Paul own Broadway below Third? Is there any one in St. Paul with the exception ot Mr. Hill and the Pioneer Press, that does not want this decided, and with the utmost expedition? Is it not for the best interest of the city at large to have this matter settled as soon as possible? To ascertain whether this disputed land is owned by the city or Mr. Hill? This is all the supporters of the bridge want now, and not the building of the same. Can any fair-minded citizen find fault with this? No, I think not! How is this, then, to be accomplished? Simply by bringing the case of The Great Northern Kailroad vs. City of St. Paul to trial. But this cannot be brought to an issue until the city legally chances the grades of streets intersect ing Broadway. There is an injunc tion now granted against the city, mainly because it has not conformed to the law in regard to the change of grade of streets, and I wish to impress every one with the fact that the injunction cannot be dis solved and the case of the Great North ern brought to trial before the city changes the grade of streets according to law. Tins change of grade is not done with a pick and shovel, but is done on paper, the same as drawing a plan for a house. Tin* preliminary order for the same has already passed both bodies of the council, and the board of public works has reported favorably on it, and now the final order is before "the assem bly instructing the board to complete the work already begun. It will be no expense to the city. Only after this is done can the case of the Great Northern and the laud in dispute be brought to an issue, and not before. The supporters of the Broadway bridge want this done. Can any citizen have any objection to this? I would ask the Pioneer Press if it is iii favor of ever having the claim to this disputed land settled, and 1 would sug gest that when interviewing citizens, in stead of creating the impression that the bridge is to be built at once, it would ask them whether or not they are in favor of ascertaining whether Mr. Hill or the city of St. Paul is the owner of Broadway below Third, and the answers it would receive would be quite different in tone than it has been publishing. As 1 said before, the most ardent supporters ot the bridge do uot expect the work to be recommenced on the same for.over three years, as it will fully take that long to settle all suits connected with the same. The case affecting the land in dispute will be appealed to the su preme court, no matter who loses or wins, and if it should be finally decided thac Mr. Hill owns the land the people of lower town may not want the bridge at all; for in that case land for the approaches and piers would have to be condemned, and this would be a greater expense than they would perhaps want to pay for, as these dam ages would have to be paid for by prop erty benefited. Now, all we want is to have this question as to the title de cided, and I think the sentiment of the public is overwhelmingly with us. ■ Bexev^le. A Singular Claim. The two actions ot $15,000 each, brought by William Schumacher against the St. Paul & Duluth Kail road com pany, are being tried together bei'ore Judge Egau and jury. Schumacher was a car repairer, and on the 7th of January, ISB7, was sent out to repair cars nine miles from White Bear. He claims that the company did not pro vide him with suitable* transportation or means to protect himself from the severely cold weather while at work, and, as a consequence, he was so nearly frozen that he has beeu permanently disabled. TIIE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2t, 1892. THK CIiIPTOX DEA.Lt. Capehart Wins His Suit Against Hoopes & Gorham. Judge Twohy yesterday rendered hl9 decision in the Clifton hotel ejectment case, holding for A. R. Capehart, and against lloopes & Gorham. the tenants. The plaintiff alleged that Hoopes & Gor hamowed him $4,200 for rent, running from the Ist of June to the last of De cember at the rate of JttOO a mouth. The defendants admit they have paid no rent, but allege that when they en tered into the contract the closets.steam pipes, cook rooms and almost every thing in the hotel were so badly out of repair as to make the place almost worthless, and that before they would agree to close the deal Mr. Capeheart verbally agreed to put everything in good repair. They say he failed to keep the agree ment, thus forcing them to an outlay of £?,noo to put things In shape. The remaining f1,200 they account for in various ways, and wind up with the as sertion that they are not indebted to the plaintiff. The case was on trial for a week, and the court took a week or two more to consider the evidence. The defendants served notice of appeal and Judge Twoly gave a ten days' stay of pro ceedings, announcing that a bond must be furnished at the end of that time, else a writ of restitution would imme diately iss.ue. IX THE WINGS. Great Bill Tonight at the Metro politan. The management of the Metropoli tan opeia house had announced a double bill for Saturday night— Gilbert and Sulivan's "Trial by Jury" and Offenbach's "La iieile Helena". Many requests have been received asking that "Trial by Jury" be suns also on Thursday and Friday evenings. With the consent of Miss Hail's manager it has been decided to do this, and an ex traordnary production will be the result. New scenery has been painted, and every detail tending to a brilliant pres entation has been carefully provided for. The cast is exceptionally strouir, an absolute necessity in a work of this character, filled with complicated con certed numbers and difficult solos. The orchestra lias been augmented for the occasion, and admirersof light opera of a higher order will have an opportunity of gratifying their taste. "La Bella lielene," also on the bill, is a burlesque of the personages in the time of the Trojan war, and is considered one of Offenbach's brightest efforts. Miss Hall sdould be an ideal Helen. and George C. Boniface as Calchas, the high priest, is vero droll. Hermann, the magician, promises a great entertainmeut at the Metropolitan Sunday evening. The Metropolitan is certain to be crowded Monday evening, as the sale of seats already has been very large. The Auain and Eve Burlesque com pany gives a matinee at Hilton's today at 2 o'clock. Next Monday night Sam T. Jack's celebrated Creoles open atllilton's. The run of scenic plays at the (Ira ml will be broken Sunday" night oy "Mc- Carthy's Mishaps," tne hilarious skit in which the Ferguson & Mack company are seen with eood effect. The piay is still the same bit of rollicking nonsense as last year, but has for the present sea son been brightened up with a number of new faces and a series of clever spe cialty features that lend much to its enjoyment. INSTRUCTED BY EGAX, But Juror 3 Fail to Comprehend Plain Knglish. A very unusual occurrence trans pired in Judge Egan's court yesterday. The lonc-di awn-out case of Fred L. Kosewood against John Ciaham came to a sudden termination about 2:40 in the afternoon, when the court granted the plaintiff's motion to instruct the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff. Nothing remained for the jury to do but to make out a verdict in favor, of the plaintiff for the amount claimed in tiie complaint, together with the interest. It was a question of live minutes, and when the jury retired the attorneys waited around the court to hear the verdict. But jurors are "queer critters." Three o ! clock,Pame but no word from the jury. Four o'clock rang out. and silence su prem in the jury room. Five o'clock .arrived and the court adjourned, direct ing the sheriff to have the jury bring in a sealed verdict in the morninir. Be fore the judge could get out of the court room there was a rap. and word came from tiie jury that they wanted further instructions. When they hied in and were asked by the court what tfie diffi culty was, the foreman spoke up and stated that there seemed to be some question as to the discretionary powers or the jury. The court informed them again, and quite emphatically, to render their verdict for the plaintiff. They then retired, and in a moment brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of SGTiJ.O'J. It is understood that one of the jurors was holding out for the defendant, not withstanding the court's direction. FOR ANDREWS 1 COMPANY. The Mankato Benefit for the In- jured Opera Singers. The St. Paul lodge of Elks have ten dered 125 to the benefit fund of the An drews Opera company, who recently met wku such a terrible railroad acci dent; resulting In the death of Mrs. Edward Andrews and Miss Wallace and injuring about twenty menbers of the company. A benelit will be given by the citizens of Mankato Saturday even ing. The Twin City theatrical me chanics and professional people are liberally responding to the benefit fund. It is impossible to make a thorough canvass in the few days remaining, and it is requested that all sympathizers, either professional or non-professional, leave such amounts of money as they desire to contribute with the treasurers of the respective opera houses in the city, viz.: Metropolitan, Grand and Hilton's playhouse. The profession generally are always willing to contrib ute for the benefit of others, and in this sad case it is hoped that a hearty re sponse will be given. The money col lected wiil be iv the hands of the com mittee selected— Managers Scott, Bixby arid Hilton— and will be forwarded by them to the committee in Mankato. STRUCK BY AN ELECTRIC. Damage Suit for the Loss of -a Husband. Bridget Harkins, as administratrix of the estate of Patrick Harnins, against The St. Paul City Railway Company, is the style of the cause now on trial be fore Judge Kerr and a jury.

In striving to drive them on their way Harkins was struck by an electric car. Ho was re moved to the hospital by the police, where death ensued. It is claimed that the immediate cause of death is the concussion from the car. Whilst the nominal defendant is the city railway company, yet the actual defence is be ing made by the American Casualty company, which, for aconsideration.has agreed to make good any losses to the railway company by accidents. McCaf ferty & Noyes, attorneys for the casu alty company, are seeking to show that Harkins was addicted to drinkins, and really died from an attack of delirium tremens. Several physicians, among them Drs. Ancker and O'Brien, have been summoned -as expert witnesses on the cause of death. The suit is for 55,003. .. Furriers Hold Out.

That was a delightful let up we had yesterday in the way of . temperature, wasn't it? Now we are expecting you. People don't always come when they are asked. There may be a good rea son for it. vSb However, when we speak up real loud, as of late, they almost always give us a call. The linen man has had all he could do, and still he isn't satisfied. He must want the earth. We admire his — we were going to use a slang word, but we will not. We do, however, admire his stock. Everybody does. It's the right kind.
