STORY US CIRCTLATIOX THAT THE
COINTY ATTOKXKY HAS AS
OTHER CHARGE!
TO PRESENT TO THE JURY.
MISS MARGARET TANNER, A SIS
TER-IN-LAW, SAID TO BE
COMIXU TO ST. PAIL
TO TELL OF A TRANSACTION
In Which She Took Part Without
l'ii<lcrst!iii(lii>£' the Letiul Purport
of It— lndict men ts Toilay.
It leaked out yesterday that the
grand jury is not yet through with
William F. Bickel, provided the county
attorney can secure the attendance be
fore that body of Miss Margaret Tan
ner, a sister-in-law of William F.
Bickel. It is said that Miss Tanner,
who is expected to arrive in St. Paul
today, can acquaint the grand jury
with the details of a financial transac
tion between Mr. Bickel and the Min
nesota Savings bank that will serve
as the basis of another indictment. The
story, as related to a reporter for the
Globe, is as follows: About eleven
months or a year ago, shortly before
the Minnesota Savings bank closed its
doors. Miss Tanner, it is said, executed
a promissory note for 3>3,000, which note
Mr. Bickel discounted at his bank, the
I note being entirely unsecured. In con
! sideration of making the note Bickel
i agreed to send his sister-in-law the
sum of $50 a month if she would, in
the future, reside in Spokane or Ta
coma. Pursuant to this agreement.
Miss Tanner went westward to the
state of Washington, where she has
i since lived. It appears now that Bickel
I failed to send Miss Tanner $50 a month
as agreed, but instead forwarded but
me remittance to her, and that for *1S
only.
In consequence of this breach <jf
faith on Mr. Bickel's part, Miss Tan
ner has been heard from, and County
Attorney Anderson is elated. Mr. An
derson sought most industriously to
learn of Miss Tanner's whereabouts
last spring, but without success. Now,
it is understood, he has heard from her
directly and has wired her to come on
to St. Paul. The report is that she is
expected to arrive some time today.
Ir. that event some developments may
be looked for. It is further understood
that Miss Tanner, being entirely un
familiar with banking methods and the
various functions of negotiable paper,
nas absolutely unaware of the char
acter of her brother-in-law's transac
tions.
The grand jury put in five hours of
solid work yesterday, and, as a result
of its labors, will present a dozen or
more indictments at 2 p. m. today, the
hour to which it adjourned. The time
was practically devoted to the consid
eration of the remaining jail cases,
which are now all disposed of with the
exception of one or two minor cases.
The latter will be taken up in a few
days, as so<.n as the witnesses can
attend.
The only interesting jail case is that
of the prisoner named Bell, who is
locked up on a charge of perjury. It
is alleged that Bell swore falsely on
the trial of a suit for $5,000 against
the St. Paul & Duluth railway com
pany for accidentally causing the
death in the railroad yards at Minne
apolis of one Roman Kranc, who was
run down by a locomotive. The trial
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff —
the administrator of Kranc. Another
witness in the case is charged with
the same offense, but he is still at
large.
It is understood that the prosecution
claims it can pruve that Bell was in
Eau Claire. Wis., when the accident,
which he testified that he witnessed,
happened.
NOT DEAD YET.
Street Ituilwuy Ordinance* to Be
Revived.
All talk about the street railway de
pot and Broadway loop ordinances
has ceased since the letter was re
ceived from President Lowry, notifying
the council that the company could
not accept the Selby avenue ordinance.
The letter was referred by the board
of aldermen to the committee on
streets of that body, and will be tak
en up at the meeting of the committee
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. One
of the aldermen, in speaking of the
matter yesterday, said the public ap
peared to be laboring under a mis
taken idea as to the future action of
the council. It was the intention, the
alderman said, to prepare an ordinance
and push it through at least one
branch of the council, directing the
street railway company to proceed
with the paving of Fourth and Third
streets with asphalt. Another ordi
nance would also be passed directing
the company to carry out the contract
for the boulevarding of University
avenue. On the top of these, the cor
poration attorney would also be direct
ed to take steps to test the question
of the validity of the perpetual fran
chise, which the company claimed to
have received from the council, in the
Selby avenue cable ordinance.

One noticeable feature of the whole
sale trade of St. Paul jobbers Is the
greatly increased volume of local busi
ness. The retail merchants in this
city are buying much more heavily
than they were a short time ago, and
this indicates that their business is
improving to a remarkable extent.
That this is due chiefly to the general
Improvement of conditions for the lab
oring classes thei*e can be no doubt, for
reports would indicate there is work
for all, and especially in the trades. In
commenting on this, J. W. Cooper, of
Griggs, Cooper & Co., said to a reporter
for the Globe yesterday^ :
"The city trade shows a greatly in
creased volume of business in com
parison with the past few years. Labor
is employed; every man is at work and
he is buying, so that this represents
the demand. A noticeable feature of
the grocery trade is the present call
for imported specialties. The demand
for them has hitherto been very light,
but is now greater than the supply,
hence prices are advancing. There is
an increased demand for seasonable
goods, such as will not bear shipment
in cold weather, which is a good indi
cation that the country trade is all
right."
• • •
To show that in some lines there is
an actual scarcity of skilled labor, may
be mentioned the fact that for several
weeks, at the entrance of Finch, Van
Slyck, Young & Co.'s establishment,
this placard has been posted in a con
spicuous place:
"Labor wanted— loo expert sewing
machine operators and finishers."
Inquiry showed that the full quota
had not been secured, but the factory
is running with a large force. An ex
tensive investment of new machinery
has recently been added, increasing the
capacity, and mackinaws, overalls,
shirts, etc., are being turned out at a
lively rate.

James Suydam, manager of the St.
Paul house of the Goodyear Rubber
company, says: "We have had a splen
did business" thus far this season, and
while the larger number of retailers
have ordered their goods, we are still
quite busy. Our system of giving one j
dealer the exclusive right to handle
our goods in the average town or vil
lage is every day developing the fact
that the privilege is highly prized by
those who enjoy it, and envied by a
great many to whom we must regret
fully refuse to sell goods. We have
lately had two instances of apparent
failure on our part to sell only to our
regular agent, caused by purchases
through regular customers, who after
wards sold to the competitors of cus
tomers in other places, but we man
aged to trace the irregularity, and think
that we shall have little trouble here
after. It is very hard, however, to pre
vent an occasional break of this kind.
Although the rubber sales have been
heavy, the very dry weather has prob
ably "had some effect in the way of less
ening orders, and I look for a good busi
ness should rain and snow make their
appearance in due season. There will
be more liberal buying this year, and
heavy goods will undoubtedly show
some wonderful records when the first
snow storm occurs."
* * *
"The Dingley bill is probably the
cause of the big advance in prices on
material for our products," said George
L. Swift, of George L. Swift & Co.,
manufacturers of clothing. "Flannels
and woolens have advanced 20 per cent
and cotton goods about 8 per cent,
they being affected by the increase in
cost of the other. Singularly enough
very few merchants stocked up on
those goods, as they do not make
heavy advance purchases as they once
did. We are very busy In our factory,
and are getting out our spring lines."
* ♦ *
D. R. Hevener, with Lindeke, War
ner & Schurmeier. says: "Messrs.
Warner, Forest, Sloan and Hubbard
are all in the New York market buying
goods for spring trade and the re-or
dc-rs, which are already arriving quite
freely. This fine weather is a great
be on to the farmers, who will get their
threshing and plowing well done be
fore the winter sets in, and although
they will not buy much until the frosts
prevent field work, no one ought to
wish it otherwise. Trade is not dull by
any means now, and when the ground
is frozen we shall be very busy until
the holidays are over."
• * •
"There was a big shortage in the to
mato crop," said Charming Seabury,
Qf Seabury & Co., "and the canners j
cannot begin to fill their orders. One
packer, of whom we ordered a large
stock, scaled the order 75 per cent, al
lowing us damages for his failure to
fill it. Curtice Brothers, of New York, j
who put an extra choice line of canned
goods on the market, write us that
they will be unable to fill all their or
ders. Canned goods of every kind will
probably be high this winter."
• * *
President A. J. Powers, of the Pow
ers Dry Goods company, said: "Our
Mr. McKilligan, of our dress goods de
partment, writes from New York that
prices of imported silk, mixed weaves
and woolen dress goods are very stiff
and generally advancing. American
manufacturers claim that all goods into
which wool enters largely are too low
priced to pay a profit, and must be
much higher in all spring fabrics."
Mr. Powers says that St. Paul jobbeis
are selling such goods, as a rule, at
lower prices than those prevailing in
New York, and that those which have
proved good sellers cannot long be
duplicated at present prices.

FIGURES OS* STREET PAVING.
Roaril of Public Works Consider* a
Big: Budgret.
The boartf of public works yesterday
considered the estimates presented by
the engineer for the paving of about
two miles .of streets. Whether the
work will 'be ordered depends on the
property owners, and after the esti
mates had been read the board directed
the clerk to prepare abstracts and, this
having been done, the property owners
on the several streets will be called in.
Then, as o&e'of the members of the
board expressed himself, "the fun will !
commence."
The paving of Summit avenue from
Wabasha street to Sixth street with
asphalt, will, according to the estimate j
of the city engineer cost $21,590, or $5.52
per front foot to the property owners;
with brick, $15,914, or $4.07 per front i
foot; with sandstone, $19,407, or $4.97
per front foot.
The paving of Tenth street from St.
Peter to Rice streets with asphalt will
cost $5,577, or $3.77 per front foot to the '
property owners; brick, $4,125, or $2.78.
per front foot; with sandstone, $5,025,
or $3.39 per front foot; should the street
be paved with asphalt the city rail- 1
way company will have to pay $4,238; if
with brick, $3,114, and $3,806 for sand
stone.
The paving of Rice street from Tenth
to Como avenue with asphalt will cost
$34,040, or $5.25 per front foot to the
property owners; with brick, $25,170, or
$3.88 per front foot; wth sandstone,
$30,690, or $3.73 per front foot. The ex
pense to the city railway company will
be $11,779 for asphalt; $8,654 for brick,
and $10,577 for sandstone.
The paving of Rice street from Como
avenue to Front street with asphalt
will cost $28,977, or $4.19 per front foot
to the property owners; brick, $22,458,
or $3.25 per front foot; with sandstone,
$26,470, or $3.83 per front foot. The cost
to the city railway company will be
$18,420 for asphalt, $13,536 for brick, and
$16,544 for sandstone.
The paving of Broadway from Sev
enth to Grove streets with asphalt will
cost $9,064, or $3.77 per front foot to the
property owners; brick, $6,216. or $2.80
per front foot; sandstone, $8,161, or
$2.40 per front foot; the cost to the city
railway company will be $7,862 for as
phalt, $5,776 for brick, and $7,060 for
sandstone.
The paving, of Cedar street from Sec
cond street to Como avenue with as
phalt, will cost $65,960, or $6.45 per front
foot to the property owners; brick,
$48,592, or $4.71 per front foot; sand
stone, $57,280, or $5.74 per front foot.
The bouleyarding of Iglehart street
from Rice to Grotto streets including
the recurbing, according to the estU
mate of the city engineer, will cost
the property owners $1.08 per front foot,
and the total expense will foot up $13,
--497.
Bids were opened for the painting of
the north end of the Wabasha street
bridge and the Robert street bridge
with the exception of the center span, j
H. H. Thompson & Co., were the low- |
est bidders for the painting of the
Robert street structure, the bid being
$1,798.60. One of the bondsmen, W. H.
Ulmer, however, sent in a letter asking j
that he be relieved from the bond and
the matter was referred to the corpo
ration attorney to decide whether the
board could take cognizance of the re
quest. John Murphy's bid for painting
the Wabasha street bridge was $1,437.
The awarding of the contract was also
laid over until today.
A letter from City Engineer Rundlett
e&lled the attention of the board to the
tact that the contract of George N.
Warren for laying wooden sidewalks
would expire on Nov. 1, and the work
of putt-ing down the walks was so far
behind that, the contractor would be
required to lay 2,000 feet per day for
the balance of this month. Contractor
Warren was requested to appear be- I
fore the board tomorrow and explain.
President Copeland said the contrac
tor had laid about fourteen miles of
sidewalk and there was about seven
more to be laid. The delay, it is
claimed, is owing to the council hold
ing up the orders for the construction
of the walks.
FIRE ALARMS AM> HYDRANTS.
t iipiunlssiniM ■■!••* Met to ConsiiU-r Mat
ters of tli*;*li:t ii ism.
There were only t'vo bids received
by the board of fire commissioners for
the furnishing and installation of a
new tire alarm system at the meeting
last night. The Garaewell Fire Alarm
company offered to put in a manual
system, and at the same time furnish
th<- department with ten new fire alarm
hexes for $9,940, and take the apparatus
now in use in the present system. The
same company also offered to put in
an automatic system and furnish ten
new fire alarm boxes for $7,930.25, under
this bid also taking the old apparatus.
The United States Fire & Police Tele
graph company, of Chicago, offered to
put in an automatic system for $6,756,
furnish the ten fire alarm boxes for
$725, and allow the department $500 j
for the old apparatus now in use, mak
ing its bid for the automatic system
complete, $7,011. The company's propo- j
sition for the manual system was $8,769, !
tpn fire alarm boxes for $725, and allow !
$500 for the apparatus now in use, the j
figures for this system complete being |
$5,394. No action was taken by the !
board as to the award of the contract, j
the matter being laid over to be taken i
up at an adjourned meeting to be held
this evening.
The summary of the fire report sub
mitted by Chief Jackson for the month
of September was as follows: Number
of alarms, 32; loss on buildings, $3,304.
--47; loss on contents, $2,760.78; totai loss.
$6,065.25; insurance on buildings, $89,
--500; insurance on contents, $50,100; total
insurance, $139,600; insurance over loss,
$133,534.75. The loss for the nine months j
ending Oct. 1 this year, was given as j
$100,655.87. as against $221,138.31 for the j
corresponding period of last year. For j
the first nine months of this year the :
department had responded to 331 j
alarms, as against 381 for the same time j
last year.
Chief Jackson called the attention of
the commissioners to the ne*=d of tire
hydrants at Commercial and Conway,
and Commercial and Third streets.
There were a number of large ware
houses in the neighborhood, and in case
of fires it was necessary to lay from
1.i.00 to 1,800 ftjet of. hose from Maria
avenue to a cistern, at Third and Com
mercial streetsUn order to get a suffi
cient supply of water. The matter was
referred to the ; president of the board
and the chkef and the water board will
be- asked to extend: the mains so as to
allow the putting in of hydrants at
the streets meßjionfid.
Assistant Corporation Attorney Tay
lor sent in an opinion to the effect that
the commissioners could neither in
crease nor reduce the pay of any mem
ber of the department, except by the
passage of a forma™ resolution. It ap
rears that tho committee on claims in
structed the secretary to increase the
pay of two mern'bers- of the department,
and when thfe pa>r roll reached the
comptroller thai official refused to ap
prove the same?
A&sistant Electrical Inspector Var
num submitted a report for the month
ending Sept. 30, showing that eighty
fnur permits had been issued for elec
trical wiring, the aggregate cost of the
improvements to be $«,057.75. During
