MINNEAPOLIS. 9KKHK 21) SOUTH FOURTH STREET. \ GBBAT RECORD. 11. O. IVlrrnon flakes us Assignee o»f the Century Piano ( oinpiiiiy, public in general, and the cred itors ot insolvent institutions in par ticular, have of late years ccme to upon receiverships and assign ment proceedings as a process in law l>y which the asst-ts were converted lawyers' fees and fat receivers and as- Hinr.i cs 1 salaries. It is therefore re- I ng to learn of cases where th<i Interests of the public and creditor? n diligently looked after. Jan. 20. IV7. the Century Piano com wu.s compelled to make an as nent, and H. O. Peterson was ap ssignee. When he took charge were on hand 304 pianos, eighty three organs and a large number of t-mHli instruments under construction. 4 matters had been so arranged he court gave permission to the gnee to commence to realize on ' isseta. Since that time over 300 rumenta have been disposal <>f fifty-seven pianos have been finished at the factory and the greater part of the smaller instruments and other s have been disposed of. When It is taken into consideration that this ■mount of business has been done dur ing the dullest season of the year and in the face of all the late financial dis turbances and the stringent money market, it is evident that some hard ai!'l dilligent work has been done by and that judicious busi - have been followed. Mr. Peterson said, in speaking of the matter today to the press: "My : has been t<> dispose of the as f i!:.- company a.s quickly as pos- Bible. 1 have been selling instruments cheap, and the public is appreciating 1t l.y patronizing us. My aim has also at the creditors will get jch out of the assets as possible, ;m<i this can only be accomplished by • - 'iown while we run, wind up the business in as brief of time as possible. "I have- ajt the same time been anx g leral public should get fit of the sale of our instru s at the unprecedented low prices, and have, therefore, been opposed to selling the assets in job lots or as o whole. The creditors are continually ttrged that the assets should be sold «t wholesale on bids submitted. We I now been compelled to ask for the wh-ile of the remaining Ptock at the factory and in our ware rooms. The bids will be opened May 1. but until then our sale will go on.

RETAIN FIN AS MANAGER IN SPITE OF SERIOUS CHARGES BROUGHT BY THE FAC ULTY. BOWKER IN THE COURTS AGAIN. Cupid This Time His Captor—Plym outh Church's Fortieth An niversary. The athletic association of the uni versity, by an almost unanimous vote, voted last night to retain Right Guard G. A. E. Finlayson, as manager of the next football team. It only did so after a long and bitter discussion of the im peachment charges brought against Finlayson by the faculty members of the advisory committee. At the ad visory board meeting on April 10 Fin layson was impeached, pending action by the association. The charges against him were: That he had retained $15 from the sale of tickets; that he had acted contrary to the instructions of the committee; that he had refused to pay his training table board bill, and that he had made arbitrary and un constitutional rulings as president. Prof. Denton, chaiman of the ad visory committee, had an abundance of evidence to support these charges. Finlayson practically admitted the lasf£\*o, but had plenty of evidence to refute the most important, that of with holding funds from the receipts. Prof. Denton and Prof. Woodbzidge administered a very strong condem nation of the way business affairs had been conducted, and asked the associ ation if they would keep a man In office who openly said he would not pay his training table board bill, ex cept to keep his position as manager. On the other hand, Finlayson's friends spoke eloquently of his prowess on the team, and attributed his shortcomings, if he had made any, to his recent severe illness. That he had acted honorably, they claimed, was proven by his will ingness to come 300 miles from his sick bed at Crookston, Minn., and pub licly meet his accusers. Finlayson, Harding, ex-Manager Putnam and Wil liam Maim, all spoke against the charges. The fact was brought out that Finlayson had contracts ready with Jerrems and Moulton to return next fall as coach and trainer, but that, they had been held up by Denton, in order they claimed, to force "Fin" to pay his board bill. The debate waxed personal at times, and the professors were accused of taking an unfair ad vantage of Finlayson. A vote was finally reached on the minority report of the advisory committee made by Instructor Harding, and the big right guard exonerated. Prof. Denton would make no statement of his future action, but that it is not finished, is a general opinion. The meeting was the annual election of officers and the following were chosen unanimously: President, E. P. Harding; vice president, P. H. Thomas; secretary. W. M. Billings; treasurer, Frank Murphy; manager ten nis department, Paul Wilson; manager of winter sports, Fred Davis. FOUR BOXES DID IT. Remarkable Success of n Xciv l'l!e Cure. People who have suffered for years or months from the pains and incon venience of that common disorder, piles, will look with skepticism upon the claims of the makers of the new discovery for cure of all forms of piles, known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordin ary cures performed by this remedy are such as to warrant the investiga tion of any sufferer. As a case in tin' following letter speaks for itself: Mr. Henry Thomas, of substation %'o. :!. Hosack Aye., Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen — I want you to use my name if it will be of any use to you. I was so bad with tlve piles that 1 lost work on that account. Nothing did m<=> any good. 1 read in Cincinnati of tne many cures of piles by the Pyramid I'il.' Cure ainl I went to a drug store and asked lor it. The drug clerk told me he had something else that Tie thought was better, but I told him 1 wanted to try the Pyramid first. The tirst box helped me so much that T tried another, and then to complete the cure used two more boxes, making four in all. I am now completely cured. Dave not had a trace of piles and I had Buffered for four years with the worst form of protruding piles. I suffered death from piles, but 1 have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as represented. I have recom mended it to several of my friends and I am thankful to be able to write you what good the remedy has done for me. I'hysicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine or mineral poison of any kind and because it is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless and applied at night. The patient is cured in a sur prisingly short time wltn no Incon venience whatever. The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, ani if there Is any constipation it is well to use the Pyramid Pills at the sam-. time with the Pile Cure, as constipation is very often the cause of piles, and the pills effectually remove the costive condition. Price of pills is 25 cents per package. Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Albion, Mich., for little book on cause and cure of piles; sent by mail free. m His Mistake.

MANKATO, Minn., April 18.-2:30 a. m.— The most disastrous fire which has visited Mankato for many years has reduced the three-story Odd Fellows building to ashes during the past two hours. The building cost $10,000 to build. Only $6,000 insurance was car ried at the present time, $1,500 having been dropped March 1. The basement was occupied by A. B. Ewing's gro cery store; the first floor by Horace Cummins' large dry goods store, for merly owned by W. W. P. McConnell. The second floor was used for insur ance and law offices, having among its occupants Attorneys Col. Thomas A. M. Rutan and others. None of the above saved any of their belongings, and it is not known whether the safes will preserve the books and papers, having fallen so great a dis tance. The heaviest losers will be the Odd Fellows. Rebekahs, Knights of Honor, G. A. R. and Ladies of the Re lief corps, all of whom occupied the third floor. Camp No. 8 and Canton C( liax No. 9 lost all their parapherna lia, and* everything belonging to these orders. The Rebekahs had recently spent $200 for new uniforms, etc. A Mr. Johnson, owning and occupying a small frame building for a shoe shop, lost his all. The new Free Press build ing will lose heavily by water, the firemen being obliged to work from its roof. The water has gone through the entire three floors, and the ' Co mmercial club rooms are ruined. Mr. Hunt is not able to estimate his dam age at present, and no estimate can be placed on the total loss at this hour. The fire broke out at 11 o'clock in a heavy wind, which carried the sparks several blocks away, setting fin-s in three different places, but the firemen did efficient work and controlled ail of them. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is believed to have been incendiary. BLACKHAWK WAS THE FIKXD. One of the WlilM, X. D., Half Breeds TalkN of the Bpiecr Mur der. BISMARCK. N. D.. April 17.— The mystery concerning the butchery of the Spicer family at Winona has been partly cleared up. Alex Caddot, the French half-breed, under arrest, made a confession in which he implicates Blackhawk, the negro half-breed, who has also be<?n under arrest as a sus pect. After making the confession Caddot made an attempt at taking his own life by stabbing himself with a pocket knife in the abdomen. Th» wound will not prove fatal unless com plications set in. The preliminary hearing of the two men was set for, Wednesday last at Williamsport, the county seat of Em mons county, located about forty miles south of here. The officials have made strenuous efforts to force a confession for some time, but without success. Cad dot has chafed considerable under ar rest and confinement and has been very uneasy and on Wednesday the officers succeeded in wringing from him th« statement that Blackhawk committed the deed, but he denied he had any connection with it. Blackhawk insist 3 in his innocence and refuses to believe that Caddot has made any confession. The officers have secured other impor tant information, but refuse to make it public at present, but say there were others besides these two implicated in the crime. Public interest over the matter in Emmons county is at fever heat, and if the citizens there were certain that they had the guilty parties it is safe to say that the murderers of the defense- It ss women and children would be summarily avenged. The hearing was continued until May 8 to allow officers time to procure more evidence. NORTH DAKOTA DECISIONS. Bismarck Water Works Cane — Fargo Case Reversed. BISMARCK, X. D., April 17.— The su preme court today decided an inter esting case. It was that of Torrence Martin, appellant, vs. Luger Furniture Company, respondent. The district court of Cass county was reversed and a new trial ordered. This controversy arose over a bonus subscribed by the defendants to Martin tn the amount of $2,000 to assist in remodelling the old Argus building in Fargo for a hotel. The main contention is over the inter pi etation of & memorandum given the I furniture company by Martin in which he agreed that the subscription should be void upon condition that if Martin did not furnish the hotel or if he did not buy the furniture from the Lugers the amount was not to be paid. Mar tin furnished the hotel, but did not buy the furniture from the defendants. The supreme court holds that he was not bound to do so, it was only in the event that persons other than Marti.i should furnish the hotrl that plaintiff obligated himself to see that purchases were made of the defendants. They were willing to trust to their ability to secure plaintiff as a customer, relying on their friendly r lafionfc as to the ground on which they noped to win In a competitive struggle to obtain tho contract to furnish the hotel building. Another decision involves control of the Bismarck water works, and ends one of the fiercest fought lawsuits in the history of the state. The water works were built in 1887 by a com pany of local capitalists and G. R. Morrison, of Baltimore. Bonds to the amount of $11."), 000 were issued, and were purchased by the Central Trust company. These bonds were secured by mortgage on the works. In IS'.^3 judgment to the amount of $20,000 was secured by respondents against the water works company, and, on their application. Senator C. B. Little was appointed receiver, and he has continued in charge since. The ap pellants have tried by various means to have Little removed as receiver, and have set up their mortgage as be ing a prior lien to the judgment. Tha supreme court holds this contention to be correct, reverses the lower, court, and directs it to oMer the sale of. the water works under the. mortgage. MINING COMI'WY «HIT OIT. Carney l es Have the Jitwide Track on ItwUefeller. DT'LUTH. Minn., April 17.— The Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines, the Rockefeller syndicate, has net sold a ton of its ore at Cleveland since the Cleveland meeting, when the ore pool failed of reorganization, in spite of the fact that its agents have been solicit ing orders from furnace men. This practically means that if will be im possible for any lncber e 4dent mining company to operate .or j the Mesaba range this year. The docks at Cleve land are filled with unsold ore and the consolidated properties, the Moun tain Iron, Carnegie's property and the Mahonlng. the Cambria Iron company's property can supply all the additional ore the furnaces will use. Unless sales are made very scon the consolidated company will suspend all shipments from the docks here and place all of the output of the mines on the stock pile until there is a demand for It.

Flood Several Feet Deep In the Streets. PEMBINA, N. D., April 17.— Water is several feet deep in the streets and row boats are being operated all over town. The ground floors of three fourths of the residences are vacated, the majority of people living up stairs and reaching their doors by boats. The water has far passed all records of previous floods since this country was settled. Great damage and loss to crops has been avoided from the fact that the rise is so early that seeding can be safely delayed some time yet. The water is still rising, but it is expected will reach its highest inside of twenty four hours. Poor people living in small houses have all removed to old Fort Pembina. Ortonville, Minn., April 17.— There is no perceptable change in the height of the water in Big Stone lake. The Milwaukee company is working night anil day to protect its embankments, which are in constant danger. Sacks filled with sand are placed along the ends of the ties on the north side of the track; back of these, ties are laid lengthwise with the track and staked to the ground. On the top of the sacks is dumped gravel, then hay. and on this snow fencing weighted down with railroad iron. All this is to pre vent the water from flowing over the track and to keep the wind from washing away the banks and gravel. The south side of the track being dry and from four to five feet above the level of the land adds to the peril of the embankment, as with this fall, should the water once get a start, the track would melt away like a snow drift liaising the embankment and thus keeping the water backed up to the north tends to raise the ire of unfor tunate residents of that portion of the city north of the track and between it and the lake, and it will take months to reduce the height of the water in Big Stone lake through the present confined outlet. In 1881 nearly all this bank was washed away, and the water thus allowed to fU«w the full length of the valley — over a mile wide — which 8008 relieved the overflowed lands. The ice separated in the lake about a mile from the city, and the wind from the northwest forced it down in a body a mile square over the flooded portion of the valley of the Minnesota river for over half a mile, throwing down bridges, trees and fences before it. but it lodged in shallow water be fore reaching any buildings. Winnipeg, Man.. April 17. — The water is rising half an inch an hour. The condition up river is serious, the water at Emerson having passed tho top mark of 1882, some houses being already under water to the second floors. At Morris, the bridges are still safe, but their approaches are covered. These towns are sending messages to Winnipeg warning it to expect a big flood, but the citizens here are still hopeful. The Asa4niboine at Popular Point passed the '82 mark yesterday and everything points to very high water for the next day or two. A Gin Ma-Bottomed Boat. Among the ingenious contrivances for aid- Ing biographical study and for the general entertainment ot the layman, the glass-bot tomed boat of the Pacific is unique. Such a means of observation Is possible only in smooth water, and the Island of Santa Cata lina, which abounds In quiet bays, smooth nooks and corners and semi-tropic conditions, is the only place In Southern California where such a craft ts found. At Avalon, the pic turesque little watering-place of the Island, there are two rival glass-bottomed boats. The one I went in had a window of heavy plate g.ass, about twelve feet in length, over a we-ll rising in the center just above the bot tom, so that the boat can run in upon the beach without injuring it. The observers sit on both sides of the well, through Which they look down upon the bottom, where in water not over thirty or forty feet deep the various objects are to be seen with startling distinctness. One of the most beautiful objects seen through the window Is known as physophora hydrostatica, a high form of jellyfish.
