As yet no building permit has been issued for the auditorium beinc erected on Eighth street, but it is probable that this has resulted in a much better structure being put up. Assistant Building Inspector MacCarthy has been giving the matter his personal atten tion, and the consequeuce is that the work is being done in a manner which will make the building a perfectly safe one. Yes terday .Mr. McCarthy saw that the stairways were being put up without iron biiuvs, which, in a building of this kind, were, in his opinion, very neces sary. Be had a short talk with the architect and the contractor, and this part of the work was discontinued until the necessary fixtures desired by the in spector could be obtained. It is ex pected to have the building ready for an entertainment on the night of May !f, but in order to do this it will require some heavy work on the part of the contractors. >—^ Are They (r>y^l Dangerous y.ffi &J — the imi- J^sL£ )<s w» rf fAt SU'lf^/* me?

Davidson Refuses Point Blank to Abdicate or Surrender The Inalienable Privilege of "Cussing" the Board of Public Works. His Bold Declaration Elicited by a Naive Inquiry From Capt. Gorman. Fourth Street to Be Repaved Two Blocks and Repaired the Balance. The hearing on the preliminary order sent to the board of public works for the repaying of Fourth street from Broadway to Third street was consid ered and discussed by the board and property owners at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The majority of the prop erty owners present were opposed to the street being repaved, especially that portion west of Jackson street. .1. H. Davidson matte ■ strong talk ■gainst the work being done at this time. If the property owners along the street could stand the present condition of the pavement he thought the council and the board of public works should. It would l>B an outrage, he said, in the present hard times, to assess the owners for a new pavement. All that was needed between Jackson and Third streets was a thorough repairing of the pavement. President Gorman stated that the city engineer had informed the board that it would not be profitable to repair the pavement, as it would be the same as throwing away the money spent in re pairs. To this Mr. Dividson took exceptions, and said His judgment was as good as that of the city engineer on the question at point. Mr. Davidson also inquired as to who would have to stand the ex pense of the repaying in front of the court house and city hall, and he ap peared to be much relieved when tola that part of the assessment would have to be paid out of the general fund. James King said the pavement on the street west of Jackson was in such con dition that by repairing it En places it would last a couple of years, and thus save the owners any assessment at this time. N. It. Frost was of the same opinion as the two previous speakers. A Precious* Right Reserved. President Gorman inquired if the board simply ordered the pavement re paired, and it afterward turned out that the thing was a mistake, would the property owners shoulder the blame of the mistake, and not lay it to the board of public works. To this Mr. Davidson said that as taxpayers he thought the citizens in general had a perfect right to curse the board of public works, and he for one did not want to relinquish that right, even if the board were right in the matter. Mr. Horrigan, of the board, said it did not require much judgment for any one, after viewing the pavement between Jackson and Broadway, to say the street needed repaying. He was in favor of ordering the pavement on this part of the street and reoainng the rest. President Gorman suggested that if this were done the cost of the repairs and the repaying below Jackson street might be spread over the entire street. This did not meet with much favor, and Mr. Quinby said the property owuers below Jackson street should pay for the repaying of that part of the street. He agreed with Mr. Horrigan that it was useless to attempt to repair the pave ment east of Jackson street. He fur ther said when the question was raised of what kind of pavemeut would be the best tor that district, that cedar block was the most expensive kind of paving for that section of the city. 11. P. Upham and other owners inter ested below Jackson street were in favor of putting down granite blocks, for the reason that it would be more lasting and cheaper in the end. A Spiel for Asphalt. C. M. Carpenter, representing the Northern Asuhnlt company, made some remarks as to the durability and ad vantages of this kind of pavement. In the cities of Cincinnati and Buffalo the business portions were paved with as phalt, and it was giving the best satis faction. Tne special advantage of the pavement was that it was easily kept clean, and, where the street is level, much easier to haul heavy loads on. The cost of paving to the property owners with cedar blocks. President Gorman said, was ?1.T3 per front foot on plank foundation; on concrete founda tion, 52.48 per front foot; with granite blocks, S&l6 per front foot, and with as phait about *4.50 per front foot. It was finally decided to recommend to the council that the street between Broad way and Jackson streets be repayed, and the balance of the street be repaired at the expense ofjtke owners ot the property frontage; the cost of tiie re paying below Jackson street to be paid for by the owners of the property. Bids will be advertised for repaying with cedar blocks, eranite and asphalt, the choice ol these to be decided atter the figures are sent in. The hearing on the repaying of fifth street, from Third to Broadway, will come up today. Notice of Removal. The Minnesota Savings Bank will re move to corner Wabasha and Seventh street on May Ist. ONLY FRIGHTENED. Explanation by P. K. Irwin or an Alleged Attempt at Criminal Assault. He Asserts His Actions Were En tirely Blameless, but Is Com mitted to Jail. P. E. Irwin was arraigned in the po lice court yesterday on a charge of at tempted assault on Carrie Sonenson, a thirteen-year-old girl living at 703 Dela ware 6treet. The case was continued to Friday and Irwin committed to jail to await the hearing. The statement that Irwin had been keeping shy since the alleged attempt to assault was made is denied by his employer. He was working in the vicinity of the place where the alleged outrage is said to have occurred up to an hour before his arrest. Irwin was arrested as iie was entering the office where he was employed, and there was no great skill sed in the apprehension of him. The man for whom lie works told the police officer his name, and gave him a de scription, and all tiiat was done was to wait until Irwin came to report, as he does every day. Irwin has been em ployed in his present position eight years, and his employer says he is an educated and refined gentleman, with out an instinct of brutality about him. Iv regard to the affair Irwin makes a simple and plausible statement, as fol lows : *'l called at the house in the pursuit of my labors, and wanted the names of the parties living at the place.

HIT AT HKItISTICS. The Congregational Club Has a Hot Discussion. Heresy and heretics were discussed at last night's meeting or the Minnesota CoueregaUonal club, at the Dayton Ave nue Presbyterian church, and thorough ly, too, for at the close of the meeting one (.f the brethren explained that when he came he thought he knew something about the subject, but as he was ready to go away he was convinced that he was poorly informed. Rev. George 11. Wells, D. D.. of Plymouth church. Min neapolis, opened the discussion, speak ing from the text: '"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines." lie urged upon the club that all heresies and schisms had tended to the disor ganization of the church, and impaired its practical efficiency. ltev. Sam <}. Smith, of St. Paul, who was next on the programme.came to the defense of the heretic, so called, who, he *aid, wns really a builder uu and not a destroyer of Christianity. The heretic was thrown out of the church by men who thought that they bad a right to dictate wlal their fellow men should think. The Nieeue council itself was called by a heathen emperor who had personally violated every commandment in the decalogue, and in sixty years afterward another council was called because certain thinking men did not subscribe to the old creed. Dr. Smith argued that the personal character and conduct of the Christian, and pot his personal subscrip tion to any do£i::a or combination of dogmas, was the crucial test of his Christianity. It was not the heretic, bin those who excommunicated Him, who were the disorganizes of the church. Rev. J. A. Stemen, of Minneapolis, followed with an his torical paper on the creed revisions for centuries past down to the Briggs controversy, and was inclined to take sides agafust the stirring up of such troubles over hair-breadth differences. liev. J. 11. Chandler, ot St. Paul, closed the debate by mentioning the names of Bushnell, Fi'nney and other eminent Christian workers who had been de nounced by their contemporaries as heretics, but who, if their works are to be considered, were to be found today in tiie halls of heaven.

The County Auditor Acquitted of the First Charge Against Him. James Court Convicted by a Very Tender-Hearted Jury. James H. Burns has been acquitted on the indictment charging him with presenting to the county commissioners a false bill for printing and furnishing the court calendar for the month of June, 1891. The jury appeared in court yesterday morning and announced that a verdict of not guilty had been agreed upon. This result was expected when it learned that there was but one juror in favor of conviction the night before. It seems, however, that the verdict was not unanimous until an early hour yes terday morning. One of the jurors seems to have held out all night. There are still two indictments pending against Burns for alleged presetations of false calendar bills. Besides these there is an indictment for criminal libel found some months ago at the instance of A. H. Kocers. James Court was tried before J udge Egan and a jury yesterday on an indict ment for assaulting D. C. Martin at St. Anthony Park last October. The as sault grew out of the levying of an exe cution on a horse by Deputy Sheriff Mc- Carron. The horse belonged to Thomas , Tinnen, a contractor, and Martin was taken along by the deputy sheriff to identify the horse. Early in the after noon Judge Egan charged the jury, and told them plainly that i Court had been proved guilty. It was after 8 o'clock, however, before a verdict was reached, and then the jury came in with a verdict of guilty of assault in the second degree with a recommendation for mercy. Judge Ejrau told the jurors that it was not a case for the discretion of the court, and that a verdict of assault in the second or third degree was the way to meet the case. The jury was again permitted to retire, and again went into court with a verdict of assault in the third degree. Judge Egan deferred sentencing Court until this morning, and he was remanded to jail.

That Is the Desire to Be Ex pressed at the Coming Big Convention, But Reciprocity With Canada Is the Way It Is Phrased. Some of the Prominent Men Expected at the Great Gathering:. The Official Call Setting Forth What Is Expected to Be Wrought. Sufficient data and information are at hand to warrant the statement that the international reciprocity convention will be one of the mo3t important civic conventions to be held in this country the coming summer. The convention will be held la St. Paul June 5 and 0. There will be present from 700 to 1,000 delegates; and brainy men of the United States and Canada will discourse on grave and important international sub jects. D. EL McUinnis, secretary of the general movenieut, and also secretary of the chamber of commerce of Grand Forks, is spending a week in the city to assist the local promotors in arranging the details for the coming convention. A meeting was held at the rooms of the Commercial club yesterday after noon, at which there were present rep resentatives from the chamber of com merce, the jobbers' union, the Commer cial club, the builders' exchange, the real estate exchange, the architects' as sociation, the board of trade and the Trade Journal association. The gentle men represeuting these commercial bodies were very enthusiastic over the situation, and unanimously agreed that the affair is starting out with prospects of flattering success. It is conceded by them that the convention will be a large one, and will be freighted with the greatest importance to the United States and Canada. The meeting will be non partisan and non-political in signif icance, but, on the other hand, will be representative of the great business in terests of both countries. Prominent Participants. It was stated that a Dumber of men of international repute will be present to address the convention. Among these are ex-Secreiary of the Interior John W. Noble, Hon. William M. Springer, of Illinois; Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, of Pennsylvania; Gov. William E. Kussell, of Massachusetts; Hon. Don M. Dickin son, of Michigan; ex-Gov. W. D. Hoard, of Wisconsin r Hon. Benjamin Butter worth, of Ohio, and William H. Scward. the sou of the noted Secretory Seward, who advised the purchase of Alaska. In nddition to these gentlemen the com mittee on exercises will invite a number of other noted gentlemen to address the convention, among these being Prof. Goldwin Smith, of Toronto, Canada; Erastus Wiman, of New York; James Fisher, M. P. P., of Winnipeg, aud James J. Hill, of St. Paul. The committee on exercises consists of E. J. Hodgson, W. J. Foqtner, W. G. Gates, J. J. Corcoran and Thomas Cocb ran Jr. The deliberations of the convention will last two days. Anumber of cities on both sides of the international line have declared their intention of sending large delegations, and all the towns and cities in the two countries will be in vited to participate in the great and momentous discussions. Mr. McGinnis says that Grand Forks will send a dele gation of 100. West Columbia will send a delegation, so will Seattle and other coast and sound cities. The probabili ties are that the British Columbian and the Washington state delegations will traverse the continent on a special train together. The business headquarters of the convention ofticuns has been established at the Commercial club rooms, where Mr. McGidnis and the local promoters may be found. An Enthusiastic Talk. D. K. McGinnis delivered an enthu siastic and interesting address before the delegations from commercial bodies of this city at the meeting yesterday. Mr. McGinnis dwelt on the pressing im portance of demolishing the trade bar riers erected to the detriment of the mutual interests and material develop ment of the United States aud Canada, lie spoke enthusiastically of the stretch of country for a distance of 1,500 miles to the northwest, and declared that the Dakotas and Minnesota are the great bread-producing states of the country; that the commercial life of this great country is closely allied by nature to the United States and the Northwest in the Dominion of Canada, lie referred to the great valleys and plains whose trade is diverted from natural channels, to the detriment of the great wheat ocean. He said that the convention will take up for discussion the question of deep waterways, with a view of making concessions, and uniting the two coun tries on the question of transportation from the lakes to the seaboard. Mr. McGinnis was listened to with interest, and was highly complimented for his address. The Official Call. The official call for the second Inter national reciprocity convention, to be participated in by the Dominion of Can ada and the United States, was formally issued yesterday, and is as follows: Gentlemen: The first international reciprocity convention was held in Grand Forks, N. I).. Sept. 1 and 2. 1892, and was attended by a delegation representing, the numerous com mercial bodies in the province of Manitoba and in the states of North Dakota, Minnesota ana Wisconsin. At that convention it was determined to strengthen and continue the movement lor freer and fuller trade relations be tween tlie United States and theDomin lon of Canada by holding a second con vention in tha city of St. Paul some tune uuriiiitilie year 1893; consequently an executive committee was appointed to call a second convention, and make arrangements for its proceedings. \ ; Appreciating the fact that nature has decreed that the Dominion of Canada: and the United States of America should be closely united by commercial' ties, and that the progress and prosper ity of bolh nations can be most fully 1 subserved by the freest commercial in tercourses ml that the material develop ment of the held, the forest, the mine and the range can best be quickened and enlarged by the closest commercial alliance between them; and also for the reason that the business interests of Canada and the United Status demand the early opening of a deep waterway for ocean commerce from Lake Superior to tide water. th* executive committee does hereby call the second International reciprocity convention to meet at St. Paul, Minn., on the sth and Gth days of June, 1893. We therefore earnestly invite you to ap point a delegation of suitable size to at tend this non-political international convention in order that the momedtoua issues which will come before it may re ceive the fullest consideration, and suit able action be taken which will tend to strengthen the commercial ties existing between the two nations, already bound together, by the ties ot a common an cestry, religion, literature ani laws. * We trust >•' that your nonoraole body will appoint a delegation of your repre sentative citizens and request you to give us prompt notice of your action.

Three men. all well dressed and wear ing; silk hats, were noticed walking on St. Peter street, near Sixth, yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. One of the 'trio, who was evidently under the influence of liquor, was seen to fall to the pavement, while his two companions walked briskly away. A guest at the Windsor sitting in the office saw the man fall nnd thought ontt ot the men knocked him down. Several pedestrians went to th« unconscious man's assist ance, and as his head was bleeding from a cut, lie was taken to the hotel nnd Dr. Coon summoned. Tlio doctor, after an examination, said all the trouble with the patient was that he had imbibed too freely. At a late Jiour last night the man was still "dead to the worlit." It was learned his name was Dell Fry, and that he arrived in St. Paul from Seattle on Monday. As to whether he had been robbed by the men who left him so suddenly could not be learned.

"You have a beautiful city here," said a Milwaukee alderman to the writer yesterday. "Yes, it is a metropolitan city, but 1 want to say to you that I believe it is shockingly managed. What is the administration ?" he asked. "That is not so easily answered as you may think it is," replied the St. Paul man. Politically It is nomadic. The present otlicials were elected lastspring under the old 'retrenchment and reform' shibboleth that now and then seduces a prosperous city. Specifically, however, they sprung from the rank and hie of the Republican party, and they made a pretense of -holier than thou princi ples, and got in on the citiieos' ticket, or a ticket nominated and supported upon the 'anything to defeat the Dem ocrats' plan." "lou do not surprise me," pursued the Cream City alderman with a smile. "We have experienced those spasmodic political upheavals that have demor alized the stability of a city. Let me explain," he resumed thoughtfully. •'! knew that there was something radi cally wrong with your govern ment the other day when a prominent citizen of St. Paul took me up on St. Anthony hill--l believe that Is what he called it— to show me some ot the magnificent residences of the wealth ier classes. 1 was not a little impressed by the imposing structures, but my ad miration was sadly marred by the abom inable conditiou of the streets. Why, Milwaukee has never made special pre tense in this respect, but 1 challenge you to find a parallel there. Even on your Summit avenue that you people all speak of so boastingly, the snow was piled up everywhere. The walks were in abominable condition, aud the gutters were choked up so that the water could not pass oft into the catchbasins." The St. Paul man felt humiliated, yet hewas honust, and conceded the truth fulness of the Milwaukee man's criti cism. "1 stopped at the Merchants' hotel." continued the drastic visitor, "not bo cause it is the fashionable hotel, but because I liked its appointments. Yes terday I wasinvited to visit the Phoenix Athletic club, and 1 accepted. lam an enthusiast upon athletics," he ex plained." "Weil, right in front of this hotel on Third street, right in front of the hotel that, I am told, has stood for many years the acknowledged political headquarters of the state, 1 was dumb founded to see the pavement literally torn up, and to note that your city of ficials were making no effort whatever to repair it. 1 don't want to scold, but I really believe a little scolding would not hurt your mayor. It might wake him up to a realization of his duties." Of course, the Milwaukee official was pardonable for committing a slight bluuder. The municipal government may be culpable in a certain degree for the untidy condition of the streets com plained oi" by the garrulous visitor, but the Slilwaukeeau is undoubtedly igno rant of the unfavorable tenets of the Bell charter, under which the adminis tration is worKing.

Important to All Who Desire Medical Service at a Low Rate. The physicians of the Copeland Med ical institute announced In the news papers tliat until May I*lßoß, they would treat persons until cured for $5.00 a month, and furnish all necessary medi cines free of charge. As the time is growing short, they wont to remind the public of the promise they made, a promise which they intend to fill to the letter. Owlntr to the shortness of the time remaining in which to begin treatment, at the low rate of 15.00 a month, it is advisable to begin treat ment now, as there will surely be a large number of applicants for treatment during the closing (jays of the limited period. The physicians of the Copeland Medical institute consider t bat in now calling attention to the announcement of their promise made the iirst of tiie month, they are giving every one ample notice of the expiration of the 55.00 rate. IT IS PERMANENT. To demonstrate the fact that the cures performed by the physicians of the Copeland Medical Institute are per manent, the following statement of Air.

One of the doctors with whom I was treating avtjised me to consult the physicians of the Copelanri Medical Insti tute, which I decided to do. 1 desire to em phasize the fact that since I first consulted the physicians of the Copelaud Medical In stitute* OVER ONE YEAR has elapsed, and that I was permanently cured at that time in my mind there is no question, for ever since I have been entirely free from all those annoying symptoms, ar.d feel better today tban ever. You will agree with me when 1 say 1 have fjreat cause for feeling devoutly grateful for what these skilled men have done for me; in short, they have absolutely cured me. where all else pos itively failed. 'I feel that it is but just and right thut I should in this manner recom mend the doctors to all similarly afflicted." THE $5.00 RATE.
