Akeley Lumber Com pany Sued for Over $200,000. Bichloride of Gold Being Used on Soaks at the Work house. Burglars Penetrate'the Sanc tuary Known as the Eighth Ward. More Belt Line Litigation- One of the Runaway's Vie- H tims Still Lives. The great fire which wiped tlje yards of J. W. Day & Co.. at Twenty-fourth avenue nortli and First street, out of existence on May 21, 1891, is to be thoroughly discussed before the district court judges. On Wednesday J. W. Day & Co. and fifty-four insurance com panies brought suit against the 11. C. Akeley Lumber company to recover 1207,134.31. :JRH The complaint sets forth that the fire was caused from the sawdust consumer of the Akeley mill. The Akeley com pany, the complaint alleges, should have had the consumer in perfect re pair: also that it should be one from which no sparks could escape. The fifty-four insurance companies are in terested because they have paid Day & Co. insurances amounting to $120,500. Day & Co.'s real interest in the case is, therefore, 180,634.81. 11. C. Akeley & Co. do not think that the complaint is sufficiently explicit. The attorneys for the firm, Stratton & Kellogg, accordingly filed a motion yes terday asking that the complaint be more thorough in statements. They want to know the quantity, quality and ,value of tne lumber destroyed, and the alleged defects in the machinery of the Akeley mills specified. Tho motion Vill be argued next Saturday. HOPE FOR ALL. Workhouse Prisoners Will Be Given a Chance to Reform in Earnest. The unfortunate inmates of the work house are at present the objects of con siderable interest to certain well-known philanthropists of the city. The great majority of the unfortunates are vic tims of the liquor habit, and owe their disgrace and present condition to their appetites. There is a move oil foot now to introduce the bichloride of gold treatment into the .workhouse with a view to bringing about a complete physical and moral metamorphosis of the patients. The prisoners have all signified their desire to be treated, and it is likely that their wishes will be re alzied. Judge Mahoriey is actively en gaged in their behalf, and has prepared a communication* to the board of char ities and corrections. He recommends that the board provide the necessary medicine and .physicians • to prosecute the bichloride of ; sold 3 treatment, and have it conducted at the workhouse. The move, In? says, will be in the right direction, and will be humane, wise and economical. The cost of treating each patient will not be over $10, and pos sibly a great deal less. .'.'. Yesterday Nora Sexton, an old-time offender, whose appetite for strong drink has brought her to the very sewer cf vice, was brought back from the workhouse at her own request and given in charge of a certain well known physician. He took the poor woman to is own residence, where lie will treat her with chloride of gold.* He does this mi his own expense as an experiment •nd for the sake of humanity. CT MIDNIGHT PROWLERS. ffhey Make Life Miserable for Residents ofthe Eighth Ward. . The residents in the vicinity of Twen ty-eighth and Thirtieth streets and Hennepin avenue are having their lives Bade burdensome by burglars and -sneak thieves. Scarcely a night passes tout an attempt is made to enter one or more houses, much to the discomfort * and terror of the occupants. Dr. Rinker,* |who resides at 3011 First avenue south, was awakened Friday night by some ene who was attempting to force open the lattice of his bedroom window, and on the same night Andiew Gessler found it necessary to abandon his seance with Somnus and chase away two mis creants who had succeeded in penetrat ing the classic interior of his kitchen. Yesterday Alfred H. Knowles, a travel ing man who formerly conducted a wholesale liquor establishment at 24 Washington avenue north, complained to the police that strange men are con tinually prowling about his residence at the corner of Twenty-eighth street and Hennepin avenue. A number of bur glaries^ he avows, have already been accomplished in the neighborhood and he fears that an attempt will soon be made on his place. Inasmuch as he is away from home a great deal, he dreads to leave his wife alone under existing circumstances. SERMON AT THE MORGUE. Companions and Friends View the Remains of Lottie Mitchell. The remains of .Lottie Mitchell, the young cyprian, who met such a tragic death Friday night, still lie on a slab in Gleason & McAllister's morgue. Doz ens of her frail sisters visited the morgue yesterday and last evening and were granted the privilege of unveiling the corpse. The sight affected them all tery much. They read a sermon in that stiffened form and wet clinging shroud ■which they will not soon forget. Cor oner Byrnes has fully investigated the matter and come to the conclusion that it was purely ' accidental, and conse quently no inquest will he held. He vis ited Johnson's resort at Crystal lake, and tne bartender of the place informed him that herb Bedford, the driver, was not under the influence of liquor at all, when he started back to the city with the two girls. •Jj!_MllM|Bip Emma Ericksen, the other unfortu nate, was removed from the bagnio on Eleventh avenue south eariy yesterday morning, to St. Barnabas hospital, She recovered consciousness during the forenoon, but was not allowed to speak. The blood still trickles occasionally from her ear, and the probabilities are that her skull is slightly fractured. The funeral of Lottie Mitchell occurs this afternoon. The services will be held at 3 o'clock at the morgue, Rev. William Wilkinson officiating. There mains will be interred at Lakewood. ) Childs May. Come. George W. Childs, proprietor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, will .come West in a few weeks on an extensive , .._..- '-"*.-...' ••^^^ . ■^y' r ~^ ,r^ '^^ I ... tour. It Is expected that he will visit Minneapolis, and the -typographical union has made arrangements to enter tain him. should he come. The union has written to Mr. Childs and he has promised to try to visit Minneapolis. He has not yet fully decided upon his route. ig-ga*_a_Baa_l LOCAL RAILWAY LITIGATION. Two New Suits Piled Involving tne Belt Line Muddle. The old track trouble between the Minneapolis Mill company, the Minne apolis Western Railway company and the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway company, W. H. Tuesdale, as receiver, and the Railway Transfer company, has broken out into another district court litigation. The complaint asks the same conclusion as has been in former suits, namely, that the defend ants, the last three named above, be re strained from using a certain railway track which runs from Smith etreet to the mills of the Minneapolis Mill com pany and the W. D. Washburn Mill company. The complaint sets forth that the track in litigation was built on March 25, 1873. On June 28, 1888, the Minne apolis Will company entered into an agreement with W. D. Washburn whereby he was granted permission to use the track with the same privileges exercised by the Minneapolis Mill com pany, For the past year, the complaint alleges, the St. Louis road, through W. D. Washburn, has been using the track. ln addition to using the track the de fendants refuse to allow the plaintiffs to use it. Therefore an injunction is asked. Another Similar Suit. uwr~w — " ■*^e*^ma^^mv__mmaß*m_»_>~-*m — ?■; Another suit, somewhat similar, was filed at the same time that the above was given to the clerk. The plaintiff in this action is the C.C. Wash burn Flour Mill company and the de fendants are the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway company, W. H. Tues dale as receiver, and tho Minneapolis Railway Transfer company. The com plaint states the plaintiff owns Wash burn A. B and C mills and Washburn C elevator. The company also owns two railway tracks extending from Eighth avenue south/through to Wash- A mill, across Seventh avenue past Washburn li mill and elevator C and through to AVashburn C mill, all told, 570 feet of trackage. These tracks were built by C. C. AVashburn in : : 1879 and the plaintifl acquired title from the executors of his estate. The occasion for the litigation is found in the fact that the plaintiff de sires that the Minneapolis Western Railway company connect with these tracks and have charge of the com pany's business, as this road will per form the necessary transporting for less than the St. Louis road. .The plaintiff therefore asks that the rights of all parties to the tracks in question by adjusted, also that the defendants be restrained from in any way inter fering with the Minneapolis Western. As the defendants' include the St. Louis road, which is in the hands of the. receiver, the court must grant permis mission before these cases 1 can come to trial. Permission is generally granted in like cases. - /jvl/0; PHILO HATCH'S TROUBLES. Deeds of His Homestead Property Set Aside Yesterday. The case of Joseph H. Clark, re ceiver for Philo L. Hatch, insolvent, against Luella H. Terry was decided in favor of the plaintiff by Judge Smith yesterday. The case was to set aside a real estate conveyance. - A year ago Philo Hatch and wife went to Califor nia, leaving their son, Dr. Ray Hatch, empowered as their attorney in fact." He was lelt a number of blank notes for the - estate, whicn lie used. Shortly after the de parture of Philo Hatch, the son, who operated the Hatch Publishing com pany, assigned. The assignment also implicated the father, and he was also em harassed. When this came about the son conveyed the Hatch homestead property, located at Mary place and Eleventh street, to the Home Savings and Loan association for $85,000— a mortgage of $40,000, $40,000 worth of city and Minnetonka properly and $5,000 in cash. This was in turn conveyed to Mrs. Terry, Hatch's daughter, who held a claim against the estate of ten years' standing. Receiver Clark sued to set aside these conveyances, as they fa vored Mrs. Terry as a creditor. Judge Smith decided Clark was right. ST. ANTHONY INTERURBAN. It Looks as if That Line Might ; . Come Ihis Summer. , There is a fair prospect for , the build ing of another interurban electric line the coming summer -oue by way of St. Anthony park. Some time ago Mr. Lowry declared that the street railway company would build no more lines this year unless the parties interested were willing to come forward and advance the money. That set the St. Anthony Park people to hustling, for they were determined to have a line. They appointed the follow ing committee to solicit subscriptions: A. R. McGill, St. Anthony Park, chair man; C. 11. Pratt, Minneapolis; F. G. James, Minneapolis; J.B.Jett, St. Paul; W. T. McMurran, St. Paul; P. J. Ken nedy, St. Anthony Park, and A.C. Brace of the same place. The commit tee has already secured subscriptions for $18,000, and has hopes of securing the remainder of the necessary $25,000 before it is time to begin the work of construction. There is talk of a couple more interurban lines one by way of Fort Snelling and one down Lake street and across the Lake street bridge. In view of the declaration made by Mr. Lowry recently, these other lines are decidedly nebulous as yet. , V^;. -/ AGAINST SEIBERT. One Link in the St. Louis Chain of Difficulties Broken. W. H. Truesdale, receiver for the St. Louis road, appeared before Judge Lochren yesterday and asked permis sion to build two. new engines and pay $4,000 interest on the Pacific extension mortgage. Permission was granted. Within a week the receiver will ask permission to build a double track from Kenwood to Hopkins. A double track is made necessary by the extensive traffic in summer. The matter of paying the interest on mortgages held by Henry Seibert has been a bone of contention ever since the St. Louis road went into the hands of a receiver. * Seibert con tends that he is the only one entitled to the proceeds of the railroad until the other bondholders foreclose. They do not want to foreclose, because their bonds are now drawing 7 per cent. In granting the motion for the payment of Interest yesterday, Judge Lochren has decided agaiust Seibert. Rehearsing the Clans. The ladies and gentlemen who will take part in the gathering of the clans and national '"pageant, now being ar ranged for by the Caledonian club, had their first rehearsal in the New York Life building. From the way the Scots are taking hold of this matter, it looks as if this would be something of a spec tacle. Every nation of promin: nee will ST. PAUL, MINN., SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, 1892. —SIXTEEN PAGES. be represented by characters in t'.e national costume. Of course special prominence will be given to the High landers. They will be represented in Highland national costume, with shield and claymore, rallying to the sound of the pibroch. It will be a car.u\al of color. IBMi THE CAKE WALK. It Is Likely to Prove a Decided ; 'Zi'- Novelty. Minneapolis is to have a decided nov elty during the coming week, in the shape of a genuine Southern cake walk. There was one in Chicago 'last week, and here is what the Chicago Tribune said of it: Sporting Billie and Ida Caskey walked for glory, a gold watch and a grand upright piano, at the big cake walk, at Battery D : last night, and they got what they walked for. r jJ&&Sfr**4_W Of all the couples In the competition there were none who were so enthusiastically re- J ceived as Sporting Billie in immaculate shirt front with big diamond studs, and stately Ida* Caskey in a scarlet cashmere and a pejeinlal smile. When the cake was handed them 10,000 people stood upon seats and cheered and yelled until bricks fell from the walls of the old exposition building and the rafters shook and trembled. ..*,..: . It was a great event. The old citizen who went to take bis grandson admitted as much after Maj. E. li. tiowen, of the Ninth bat talion of colored soldiers, had given a sam ple of the '•Buzzard Lope," and he was right. The walk in Minneapolis promises to be an equally exciting event. William Springsteen, one of the leading colored managers of the day, is in charge of the arrangements, and he has secured cake walkers from several Southern cities, all of whom will appear in gorgeous attire, and Dixie land smiles to contest for the SI.OOO in prizes which are to be awarded. The event is to occur at the aK'BB \ \ panorama building, whicii has recently been leased by a syndicate for a term of one year, and who propose to introduce all the amusement novelties of Eastern cities. The cake walk will be the prin cipal attraction Friday and Saturday nights; and the three couples winning the most cakes on those nights will walk for the big cake Sunday night. In addition there is to be a chase for a greased pig Thursday night, while Sat urday six "coons'" with mouths as big as Billy Kersand's will contest in a pie eating match. The panorama building has been filled up with orchestra chairs, and will be well lighted with electric lights.- There will be music each even ing and many novelties not yet ar ranged, so'tha't the lovers of genuine tun are likely to turn out in full force. The Minnesota Loan and Trust Co. Allows 5 per cent interest on six-months deposits. •::**.•■ Glenn, the Reformer. Col. Glenn will make his debut as a reform lecturer in Harmonia hall next Thursday night. He proposes, he says, to show up the rottenness of the present municipal government, and expose the fearful record of Maj. Henderson.super intendent of police. Yesterday he caused hand bills, reading as follows, to be distributed over the city: ; " MAKE : KO ENGAGEMENT 1 I For f , -. -'■ Thursday Evening, •*,, 1 But Go and * *»-, ,J HEAR GLENN it : • At . ; I Harmonia Hall. ; ; : Bee daily papers and J ; hand bills for further J !

She called on Chief Henderson yesterday and solicited his aid in finding her husband, which he promised to give. Bradley left the city, to go to Chicogo three weeks ago to ac cept a position which had been tendered him. He has not put in an appearance at the place where he was to work, and his wife has received ho word from him. She says that at times he suffers from dementia, and she fears something ter rible has happened him. Alleges Malpractice. William Guertin has commenced suit against Harry E. Rowell, veterinary surgeon, to recover $500 for malpractice. The com plaint alleges that Rowell was called to administer to a valuable mare on Oct. 27, 1890. The mare was suffer ing from inflammation of the alimentary canal. The mare died, Guertin charges, through neglect and improper treataKjit on the part of Rowell. v COURT BRIEFS. The will of Johaun Klurs was filed for pro bate yesterday. . She left $9,000. OMary Emmons, thirty-five years of age, has brought suit for divorce from Amos C. Em mons, fifty-five J years of age. They were married at Maiden Rock, Wis..' Sept. 10, 1879. She charges desertion Aug. 6, 1589. . . | The application for the appointment of a receiver for Col. M. W. " Glenn's estate was dismissed by Judge Hooker yesterday. The dismissal was by stipulation. -:" GOSSIP OP THE CURB. A big, brawny man came rushing out from the saloon opposite the Bijou thea ter last night yelling police and murder at the top of his voice. A little fellow j with straggling beard and a cast in the right optic came pell-mell : after him, and before the curb was reached had mounted the big man's back like a cata mount. He fastened his fingers in the big man's hair and began kicking him vigorously in the fundament, at the same time* screaming like ■a' prize pig in pain. A policeman pulled him : off and liberated the biz man. lie ex plained that the little fellow bad brut-; ally attacked him, while they were dis cussing the merits and demerits of Col. Glenn as a lecturer. To j avoid causing any sadness in the little fellow's heme he , struck him on the head and then ran away so as not to be called upon to strike him again. The policeman or dered them both to go home and the big man limped up the street, ruefully caressing the place that had been kicked. Miss Minnie L. Armstrong is going to write a novel on co-operation, and will' study the moonshiners' country for pointers. Well, she may be able to find out how the moonshiners co-operate to kill revenue officers. §s_fe| He takes the cake— the winner of the cake walk. Two women stood at the corner of Nicollet and Washington last night waiting for a car. One of them was middle-aged, had an ascetic look about her face, and a red * nose. She chewed gum at a tremendous rate and talked in a loud, shrill voice at - the same time. Her companion finally managed to get in a word edgewise, and it evi dently tickled the lady with the red nasal promontory, for she burst into a fit of laughter. Her mouth expanded and the vinegary look disappesred from her face. Sud denly a white and gleaming object dropped to the ground and buried itself in the mud. She stopped laughing, while a look of pain shot into her eyes and a peculiar contraction set in about her lips. Hastily picking up the object she wrapped it in a handkerchief, and mumbling something to her companion she hurried off down street. The white and gleaming object was a set of false teeth.jSggfiggßMga The morning Tribune has open eda branch editoral department in the city ball.

MEDICAL INSTITUTE. A Brilliant Reception Given toy ■- . . the Faculty Last Night.

Simplicity and Impressivene Marked the Closing Ceremony of Life. ii The funeral services that marked the departure from earth of A. J. Sawyer j were in keeping with the life of the .man— unostentatious but ' Impressive. He moved through life without noise, : but ho left his mark upen the commu nity in which he lived. While alive he j passed * his days amid scenes .of the greatest excitement— the excitement of the speculative markets of the greatest ", speculative nation on. earth; in death his. body was. removed from : sight of ; men amid the most solemn silence. The contrast between life and death could not have been greater. The chamber of commerce adjourned at noon, and the members of the cham i ber proceeded to the * residence of the deceased. Twenty-sixth street and Park : avenue, in a body. By '2 o'clock, the ; hour set for the funeral, the house was filled with friends and relatives of the dead man. A large delegation came from Duluth, where Mr. Sawyer lived many years, and where he was highly .■esteemed. Key. M. D. Shutter con ducted the funeral services. He made no long address, confining himself to a few words on the life of the departed and comments on those traits of his character that endeared him to his bus iness associates and all who knew him. ; . At a little after 2:30 the procession of carriages left the house for Lakewood cemetery. Following the hearse came the carriage containing Rev. Dr. Shut ter and a minister from Duluth, Mr. Sawyer's old pastor. The second and third carriages carried the pall bearers, Messrs. C. A. Pillsbury, F. H. Peavey, F. L. Greenleaf, E. J. Phelps, L. S. Brown, E. Carden, J. E. Glass and A. B. Taylor. Then came Mrs. Sawyer's car riage, and with her were B. .I.Sawyer, and Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Sawyer. Mr. and ' Mrs. Weld aud family came next, . followed by Mrs, J. E. Glass . and family. Mrs. F. H. Peavey and family and George S. Bar nm, of Duluth, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Chambers and John McLeod, and Messrs. A. K. Macfarland, A. M. Morri son, Ward Ames and W. W. Davis, all occupied carriages in the procession. Eight vehicles conveyed the employes in business and the servants of the household. > The services at the cemetery were as simple as those at the house. The body will lie in the vault at Lakewood for a time, and will probably be taken to Lbckport, N. Y.", for burial later.- \v. : '.*".' The room in which the body lay at the house was" literally filled with floral offerings. They came from his friends ', in the chamber of commerce, from busi ; ness friends, from social friends and from employes. All bespoke the hitjh place he held in tne hearts of those who knew him best. >• j ;V READY FOR WORK. Supt. Hunt Says the 'World's Fair V $100,000 Fund Is All Right. ' Supt.L.

He had just come" back from a trip .through the Northern partof the. state, and he returned feel ing cheerful over the outlook for BMm I nesota's showing at : the big fair in ('hi cago. He says that all- of the counties north of Minneapolis, wit^ the > excep tion of Pine and Cook, have organized and have contribute their quota to the f 100,000 fund wanted *by the commis sioners for the fair. lie will go to Pine county in a few days, and Cook will be taken care of without a personal visit from him. He says that sixty of the" counties have already contributed, or have been organized, so that there is no question about their contributions. This is the 75 per cent, that the. commission agreed to see in line before beginning any; actual work toward preparing the Minnesota exhibit. He sees no reason now why the commission should longer delay getting down to actual work. : He thinks that a meeting of the commission, will be held some time next week, prob ably Thursday, before which time Gov. Merriam is - expected to name a suc cessor to M. 13. ' Harrison, of Duluth. He says that the people of Duluth have recommended that Col. Baldwin be ap pointed to the vacancy on the commis sion; LOOKING FOR A TRUST. One of the Government Agents ; Investigating in Minneapolis. • Charles H. Horton, an agent of the government of the United States,' is in Minneapolis looking up evidence against the cordage trust. He arrived yester day; morning and spent most of the day with District Attorney Hay. He came here from Chicago. Tie has been inves tigating the operations of the trust in that city for some time all on the quiet. Tie government hoped, to keep the in vestigation a secret, but the fact that Horton was at work . leaked out while he was in Chicago. Minneapolis is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, mar ket for twine in the country, and the government expects to learn a good deal about the trust in this city. Just what the' government already knows is mere ly a matter of conjecture." Mr. Horton will : not talk. Whatever information Mr.'Hortou succeeds in getting will be laid before some of the federal grand juries in the East. The .government is proceeding to prosecute the cordage trust on the same lines, that were fol lowed in the war on the whisky trust. . It seems that perfection has at last been; attained for the cure of the drink habit by the Houston Cure.

Some of the daily papers persist in trying to name the new Southside high school; and talk about it being a grace ful triDute to a man who was a highly respected and public spirited citizen to christen it "The Wilson," says the South Minneapolis. Telegram. r * The public and private life of the late E. M. Wilson entitle his memory to grateful recognition, and Southsiders appreciate the fact 'full well. But Southsiders do not want the identity of the South high school swallowed up in any name. Let it be known as the South" high school. We have canvassed the matter J con siderably, and are assured that no other name is wanted by Southsiders. A River of Fire.
