CHRISTMAS MISHAPS.
Old Santa Claus Sets a Tree on
Fire.
Christmas is a peculiar day in more
senses than one. it is full of many ex
periences of every shade and variety.
Some are sad, it is true: most are merry,
and a very respectable proportion are
decidedly funny. Yesterday morning,
iust before the rise of the sun, an event
happened on Hague avenue which had
both a serious as well as a comic side.
The fond father of a family arose
(a county officer, by the way)
clad only in his robe de
nuit. and thought .to delight
the hearts of his little ones by lighting
up tor them their Christinas tree. Tall,
erect and proud the evergreen stood,
covered with wax tapers, tinsel and the
flittering baubles which so delight the
children. The match was struck and
the tapers lighted. For one brief mo
ment the tree was illuminated, and its
beauties revealed to the little ones clus
tering around. But alas for the frailty
of their hopes! A twig cautrht fire and
the whole tree was soon in flames. The
head of the house acted promptly, and,
seizing the tree, rushed quickly out of
rioors and betran waving the blazing
limb dexterously through the air and
whipping it up and down in the snow.
To the few neighbors whose eyes
greeted the unwonted sight, the scene
was weird and exceedingly funny. In
less than live minutes the tire was
extinguished. The front yard was
covered with the baubles, and the
impression made on observers by that
iiirin waving the burning tree will not
boon be forgotten.
DELIGHTI'ULi EVENING.

HE GKANGEOTHE SYSTEM,
ENGINEER AT FAULT FOR THE COLD
COURT HOUSE,
SO SAYS THE CONTRACTOR.
Ncpil, Who Fut the Steam -Plant
in the Court House. Says that
the Kngineer Has Radically
Changed the System, and
Weakened the Heating Power
of the Plant.
The numerous complaints made by
occupants of offices in tire court house
about the failure to uroperly heat the
building caused the mayor to write to
A. O. Nepil, who put in the plant, di
recting him to make an examination.
From what the mayor did not rather
than what he did say it was understood
that the failure to heat the building was
due to some defect in the plant. This,
however, is not the case; the trouble is
in the management of U>e- plant and the
desire to economize in fuel.
The report ot Mr. Nepil made ti> the
mayor, a summary of which is riven
below, states plainly the reasons fur ihe
failure to keep the building warm. Mr.
Nepil says:
The complaints made by the officials
are that it is always cold in the morn
ings, especially on cc»ld days, which
would indicate that the tire on such days
should be started earlier, or, bettei still,
that the building should not be allowed
to cool down, la tiie county and city
treasurer's offices, one radiator in each
mom was not in use; one had been dis
connected, and the other removed from
the room. In the office of the comp
troller and also in other offices the valve
seats of the radiators were worn out,
and as these are inexpensive and also
Interchangeable it is suggested that the
engineer keep a supply on hand, and
replace them when the occasion requires.
The same suggestion is also applied to
the automatic air valves on the radiat
ors. They should be attended to fre
quently, and any rooms where the
radiators do not work properly should
be reported to the engineer, w!io->e duty
it is to keep the openings cl-,an, and
aiso properly set . Should a room not
be properly heated, or anything be
yond the power of the engineer go
wrong, he should report to me. as 1 re
quested him to do so. I guaranteed the
plant for a term of two yt'ars,and it was
my greatest ambition to have the plant
the most perfect and satisfactory iv
every way, and up to date of your letter
nothing had been reported unsatisfac
tory to me although 1 have been in the
building a great many times.
The system in use in the building is
indorsed by all the best authorities, and
for four years has heated and warmed
all parts of the building wit'i from one
halt to live pounds of steam, and will
still do so in the coldest winter, as I can
prove to you if you will authorize or
empower me so to do. without any ex
pense to the city or county. The sys
tem, its construction and operation were
as follows: Steam was to be taken at
low pressure through a fourteen-inch
pipe through the court house, and its
condensation returned by its own grav
ity to the boilers. It was intended to use
fiom the exhaust steam to heat the coun
ty jail building, and both have worked
satisfactorily, and they will always do
so if run as stated above. To my great
surprise I found both systems altered
by the engineer, with the evident good
intention of saving fuel, which it may
have done with the result that it did not
deliver sufficient heat to the building.
The system in use at the present time
is as follows: High pressure steam is
generated in three boilers and sent
through si four-inch pressure regulator
to supply the fourteen-inch main steam
pipe, which, in turn, supplies from
30,000 to 40,000 square feet of radiation.
The condensation from this is returned
to one of the boilers, which is used for
the purpose of a receiving tank, and
from there pumped to the high-pressure
boilers. If there was a system of ex
haust steam then this system might
answei, but in this case, where
only one pump is working, of which
the exhaust is utilized in the jail
building, the above system is not prac
ticable nor preferable, and by its uneven
pressure, heating and cooiing, contraci
ing and expansion, is liable to create
leaks, etc. In my opinion, storm win
dows would economize fuel (it was the
original intention to use them), as well
as to have all other openings closed
where cold comes in and heat goes out,
but the supply of heat in the building
should not be throttled. I have thus
explained all conditions, so far as possi
ble, and am willing to assist in all and
any improvements that cau be made to
economize in fuel to save the city and
county as much expense as is justifia
ble, and still have all satisfied, without
reflecting upon the capabilities ot those
connected with it.
The other experts appointed by the
mayor have not as yet submitted their
report, but will probably do so in time
for the next meeting of the court house
and city hail commission, of which the
mayor is chairman.
TOUCHING SCENE.
Boy Dies in His Mother's Arms at
a Drug; Store.
George Hoffman, the eleven-year-old
son of George T. Hoffman, living at 20U
West Third street, died suddenly last
evening at the drug store of S. H.
Reeves, at Seven corners. The boy,
accompanied by his sister thirteen years
old, left home at 5 o'clock to attend a
Christinas entertainment. The family
live on Third street almost opposite the
drug store, and while crossing the
street George fell to the pavement. He
was carried by a passing pedestrian
into the drug store and Dr. Brimhall
called.. His parents were also sum
moned, but despite all that medical aid
could do he lived but a short time. The.
scene was a touching one. as the lad,
resting in his mother's arms and gasp
ing for breath, murmured, "Mamma, I
know I'm going to die," and. as his
breath grew shorter, his arms clasped
his mother's neck the tighter. Deputy
Coroner Xanten was called and the
body taken to Gross & Dohm's under
taking rooms, where an autopsy will be
held this morning. The lad has been
suffering from an affection of the heart
for years, but for the past six months
had greatly improved, and yesterday
seemed in the best of i health. The
physicians say death was undoubtedly
due to heart failure.

Among the Christmas callprs to in

Adrian Gibberton, of Paree; Fred
Schweizer.of Havana, and Nick Wehr,
ot Luxemburg, all on .a trip of enjoy

reports that Santa Claus Daid a gener

and that the inhabitants will all reap a
rich harvest from his annual tour. They
growled a little strong at the height of
the building, but alter a short rest and
a few refreshments started on the
downward trip, hMled with the pleasant
ozone that wafts nightly o'er the tower

TWO HOLD-UPS.
Mas'ced Men Took His Gold Watch
and Some Cash.
The "hold up" boys celebrated
Christmas eve the same as other people,
aim yt-sterday the police were notified
of a couple of tricks turned by one of
tne numerous gangs of the city. Mrs.
Griffith, living at 425 Van Buren street,
while returning from a neighboring
grocery Sunday nigln at 8 o'clock, was
slopped oy three men who commanded
her to turn over what cash she had.
Mrs. Griffith fortunately had but a
nickel, and this she quickly handed
over to the thugs. She was so badly
scared by the thieves that she was un
able to give a very accurate description
of them.
Two hours later August Ellinghous,
living at 3Sl)Como avenue, was assaulted
by three masked men at the corner of
Coino and Rice street, and, after being
slugged, was robbed of a gold watch
and chain valued at $75. and $4 in cash.
Ellinghous describes the gang as two
short me a and a tall one.
LiAiiOK unions.
Forty of Them in st. Paul, All
Active Workers.
There are over forty union labor or
ganizations in this city, and they keep
up an interest in their meetings, not
withstanding the fact that they have no
general agitation on hand as to matters
that they regard as the mainspring of
their organization. It is true that they
are not pleased with the tendency to
lower wages considerably, but they
realize that it is a time when many are
willing to work for a mere pittance to
keep the wolf from the door, and that it
would not be wise to agitate the matter.
The attendance at the meetings for the
past few months has not fallen off, not
withstanding the fact that noth
ing but routine business has been
transacted. The men discuss the
situation in a philosophical way
and hoping for better times cheer each
o:her as much as they can by consola
tion. With the beginning of the year
the organizations will be placed in the
hands of new sets of officers and the
unions will go on with the work of edu
cation. The working people of St. Paul
are intelligent as a class, and take philo
sophical and reasonable views on the
matters affecting the relations of em
ployei and employe. It is to their
credit that it can truthfully be said that
they have been reasonable in their re
quests for concessions from employers.
The conferences between the capitalists
aud laborers on questions ot differences
have generally been conducted with
fairness on both sides, and usually have
ended with amity and good feeling.
There are exceptions to this proposition,
but the exception is not frequent
CHRISTMAS GIHND.
In the Municipal Court YeSt cr ~
day Morning.
Fjrty arrests made by the police dur
ing Saturday night and Sunday were
disposed of by Judge Cory yesterday
morning. The majority of the number
were "drunks" and "disorderlies."
The court room was so cold that those
arrested who pltaded not guilty had
their cases continued to this morning.
Nine were sent to the workhouse and a
like number paid fines.
Daniel Lynch, William Baldwin and
Join Cooney, who are charged with
having burglarized a saloon at the cor
ner of Ninth and Olive streets, will
have a hearing Thursday morning. The
booty secured was three boxes of cigars
and a penny-in-the-slot machine.
John Kennedy, arrested for pocket
picketing at the Golden Rule Saturday
night will explain to the court this
morning.
Coleinan O'Toole was one of the pris
oners arraigned on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Colemau could not talk or
understand English, but he spoke Gaelic
taster than Clerk Anern can wink.
Patrolman Anderberg and then CapL
Schweitzer were called on to interpret
to O'Tuole the questions of the court,
but it was not until Patrolman "Big
Tom" McMahon was brouirht forward
that O'Toole could be made to under
stand his position. O'Toole promised
never to take another drink of liquor,
and as Judge Cory had discharged the
other plain drunks the pledge of O'Toole
secured his discharge.
REDUCTION ASKED.
Bank Wants Its Assessment Re
duced.
The board of abatement will meet
this afternoon at 3:30. There are a few
odds and ends in the way of petitions
for abatement of taxes to be considered,
but the principal matter to be disposed
of is the petition of the National Genuan-
American bank for a reductiou ou its
assessment. The bank reduced its
capital stock one-half after the assess
ment was made on May 1, and it wants
its assessment reduced accordingly to
§1,000,000. The county attorney has
been asked to give a written opinion as
to whether the board has the power to
make such reduction, and it is expected
that the matter will be disposed of this
afternoon.
WANTED A COCKTAIL.
Not Satisfied With Necessary Re
lief.
Ehle Allen enjoyed the cheek of an
old man yesterday. He was probably
eighty years old and a stranger. Ho
had apparently been imbibing freely
and had fallen asleep in the Merchants'
lobby. Not wishing to turn him out
Ehle sent him to a room. After sleep
ing an hour or two the old man rang
and directed the bell boy to request the
clerk to send him a cocktail. Ehlu was
generous yesterday, but that was too
much.

He Will Not Permit the Law
to Be Defied. - . :aoit
■fr-j^.. : . • ■ -c> 'rti
During the recent street car lock-out
there was considerable talk to the effedt 1
that the Twin City Rapid Transit com- 3
pany was violating the "personaHtt>
erty law" passed last winter by the leg
islature. This law was passed with V
view of reaching the company men
tioned, as it. was .claimed then that the
company was requiring men to : shrii ■
agreements not to join unions in case of >
employment by it. During the street
car trouble last summer it was claimed '
that the new men engaged to work for
the company were questioned as to their
belonging to a union or their intention
to join any labor union. There was a
great amount of discussion in labor
circles at the time in the direction of
enforcing the law, or at least to test its
validity and application. No action
was taken until recently the matter was
brought to the attention of Labor Com
missioner Powers, who has determined
upon appealing to the courts in ;> the
matter, or at least on lending his sup
port to persons who will make informa
tion of violations. It is expected that
information will be made to the county
attorney today with a view of testing
the law which imposes a, fine of ?100for
violating its provisions. There are said
to be many instances of refusing 'era- \
ployment to men who would not agree
to eschew unions, and a test case will
be commenced, and in case of success
many others will follow. s
The vestibuling case will also be
prosecuted against Superintendent Hos
kins, and in case the law requiring cars
to be vestibuled is upheld by the courts
several hundred more cases will follow.
It is claimed that several cases for
each day since the law became
operative, on November 1 last, have
been noted on the several lines of the
street railway in this city and will be
ready for prosecution in case the
courts sustain the constitutionality
of the law as to vestibuling cars.
It is claimed by Labor Commissioner
Powers that the street railway company
promised to comply with the law, and
place enclosures on the front of the
electric cars in this city. It is expected
that the company will fulfill this prom
ise, but the delay in so doing led to the
commencement of the proceedings
against Mr. Hoskins, which have been
adjourned for a week iv the municipal
court. This case, as well as the pro
ceedings under the "personal liberty""
law, will be watched with interest by
all. and especially in union labor circles.
If one or both ot the laws are found to
be deficient, it is the declared purpose
of union labor people to carry the mat-.,
ter to the coming legislature, with re
quests for further statutory euact%
meuts.

CRAZKD EX KOUTE
Spokane Woman on Her Way.
Mast Becomes Deranged.
'■ An elderly woman giving her name
as Mrs. J. C. Smith, was taken from the
bunion depot yesterday morning to the
central police station suffering from
temporary insanity. Mrs. Smith lives
at Spokane, Wash., aud was on her
way to Huntley. 111., to visit friends.
She became deranged on the train and
escaped at a 3tatiou between Spokane
and St. Paul, but was found and sent to
St. Paul. When she arrived at the
union depot yesterday morning she was
so bad that it was decided best to take
her into custody. Dr. Hanley was called
to the station and had the woman sent
to the county jail. Her husband, who
is a mine superintendent in Spokane,
was notified by wire of his wife's con
dition.
Shortly after 11 o'clock last evening,
the matron at the jail discovered that
Mrs. Smith had taken a dose of mor
phine from a bottle she had concealed
on her person. Dr. Ancker was sum
moned, ana the woman removed to the
city hospital for treatment. The doctor
said that the woman's appearance would
indicate that she was addicted to the
