Eastman, wife of W. W. Eastman, has commenced a suit against the St. Anthony Water Power company to determine the title to the strip of land around Nicollet island lying be tween Island avenue and the water's edge The Water Power company claims to have acquired possession of this land through a deed made to it by Hercules L. Dousman, John L. Serriam and W. W. Eastman in 1867. By this deed the company obtained shore rights for the purpose of building wharves, piers, booms, dams, etc., and the righs to overflow the low hind in case it built a dam. his strip of land was considered to be public property and was never taxed until 1882, when W.W.Eastman called the attention of the assessor to it and had it assessed as his property; he then al lowed it to be sold tor taxes,his wife bid ding it in, and in this way he claims to have acquired possession by tax title and to have also released the easement which the Water Power company ac quired in 1807. The Property owners who have erected dwellings on Eastman avenue, expectinc to have an open view of the river, are very indignant over this matter, as it is generally understood that it is the intention of Mr. Eastman to erect a row of tenements on this strip of land as soon as he perfects the title. Some time ago the park commis sion had a bill introduced in congress to give it this land for park purposes, but Mr. Eastman employed an able lawyer to look after his interests at Washing ton, and consequently the bill is quietly Bleeping in some pigeon-hole. OBSEQUIES OF DR. CAMP. Impressive Funeral Ceremonies at Gcthsemane Church. The most beautiful and impressive burial service that was ever formulated by the wisdom of man is acknowledged by all to be that in use by the Protes tant Episcopal church. Simple, albeit profound, pathetic, and touching the hearts of all men, its beautiful lines and selections were solemnly rendered yes tei-dav afternoon in Gethsemane church by Rev. Mr. Fowler, in the absence abroad of the pastor, Dr. Graves. D. D., the occasion being the last rites and cer emonies over the remains of the late Dr. A. A. Camp, whose sudden death startled the community a few days ago. Beneath the lectern was placed the cas ket, covered with floral mementoes from friends of the departed. A large pillow was at the head, on wnicn was wiuw-u "^"i — all over ' the case were strewn bunches of roses and Easter lilies. E. H. Holbrook acted as master of cere monies, and the members of the Homeo pathic association were present in a ody and assigned to seats near the communion table. The church was fairly filled, intense interest being manifested in the proceedings. Ihe chief mourners were Mrs. Camp, Air. and Miss Augusta Wiggins and Dr. Roberts, the family physician. At. the conclusion of the chapter containg the striking text: "Oh death, where is thy sting, Oh grave where is thy victory?" it was announced that the re mains would be taken to Saratoga, N. V., for final interment and that brought the services to an end. Messrs. George B. Shepherd, A. B. Jackson, Col. Ripley, A. D. Cotton, E. P. Hawthorne, Dr. Fairbairn, Dr. W. E. Leonard, Jr. and M. F. Bowen acted as pall bearers. Pending the final disposition of the re mains, they will lie in Warner's under taking vault, the funeral arrangements having been managed by Mr. Warner. LAID TO REST. The Remains of Edgar W. Wil son Committed to the Earth. The mortal remains of Edgar W. Wilson, who died in such a melancholy manner on a train while on his way to this city from California, were laid in their last resting place yesterday after noon at Ridgewood cemetery, after the beautiful burial service that was held in his late residence, 1325 Hawthorne avenue, had been concluded. The par lor in which the solemn ceremony for the dead was performed by Rev. Dr. D. J. Burrell, of Westminster church, was tastefully dressed with immortelles, roses and other flowers from nature's garden. The esteem and love in which the departed gentleman was held was simply testified toby the presence of many local men of note who could hard ly suppress their pent up feelings, so touched were they with the pathos of their surroundings and the sympathetic and touching words which fell from Dr. BurrelPs lips. Prominent among those were Postmaster Ankeny, Hon, Eugene M. Wilson, Judge Lochreu, Col. C. D. Ripley, U. G. 0. Morrison, and many others in various walks of life. The ■jail-bearers were selected from the -nost intimate of the friends of the de ceased and were as follows: Howell "oung. Asa Paine, John R. Vanderlip, '_•:. A. McNair. Fred Johnson and Mark -'aine. The funeral cortege was a very long one and, in compliment of the sad occasion, all the houses in the neighbor hood were darkened by . having their blinds drawn down or. shutters closed. FOOLED WITH A REVOLVER. The Usual Consequence, a Bullet in the Head. ;,.,.. A shooting case took place : at the Windsor hotel yesterday afternoon which fortunately had not a fatal ending. James Robertson, the assistant yard man of the hotel, was in the laundry showing a small revolver to some of D-the girls employed there, when Mary Burke, also an em ploye, entered. She began joking with Robinson, and attempted to take the revolver away. During the struggle the weapon was discharged. The bullet entered Miss Burkes mouth, knocking out a tooth, and passed through the right side of her neck, coming out just behind the ear. The wound was an ugly one, but the physician who attend ed the girl did not think that it would prove fatal. Late in the evening Miss Burke was taken home. The case was not reported to the police and Robinson was not arrested. PO„.C« COURT. Dennis Bcno'.ton paid a fine of $2 for Obstructing the si_e\v_l'_. .

The Masonic Organization Has Its V '■' Annual Meeting. 1 The stockholders and directors of the Masonic Temple Building association held their annual meeting yesterday at the Khurum lodge room, 252 First ave nue south. The main business was to complete arrangements for building the temple, the foundations of which are now in on the corner of Hennepin ave nue and Sixth street. Vice President F. C. Pillsburv presented the address and annual report of R. B. Langdon, the president. This report was a long one and of considerable interest, inas much as it shows that Minneapolis will soon have one of 'the finest; Masonic temples in the country. "There has been," says the report, "no material progress made toward the temple during the past year, owing to the inability of the soliciting committee to secure sufficient subscriptions to war rant the board of directors in proceed ing with the building. During the year the soliciting committee obtained sub scriptions to the amount of $2,000, mak ing the total amount now subscribed 1111,850. This, with the $15,000 bonus subscribed, makes the total amount $130,000. The report of our treasurer shows the amount of subscriptions on stock already collected to be £53,425; amount of subscription on the bonus, 18.525; balance due on stock sub scription, $57 025. It is estimated that about $10,000 of the stock subscriptions are uncollectable. Deducting this amount, the available assets are re duced to $116,350. The total amount received from all sources to date is 501,050, and the total amount expended 961,350, leaving a balance of $505. The present liability of the board consists of a mortgage in real estate of $17,000, drawing interest at 6% per cent until July, 1888. "The rapid growth of our city and the character of the new office buildings that are being erected, suggests the propriety, if not the absolute necessity, of a change of the original plans of the building to make it strictly fire-proof and first-class in every respect. A com mittee has accordingly been instructed to secure estimates as to the cost of the change. They are as follows: Cost of building, $200,000: cost of grounds, $01,000; taxes, interest, etc., $14,000; total, $335,000. To meet this expense the following resources were suggested: Available subscriptions, $110,350; amount of loan, $100,000: balance to be raised, $118,659; total, $335,000. of this amount it is estimated that £40, --000 may be negotiated for building ma terial; $10,000 being the amount that it is estimated will be taken by different Masonic bodies, leaving $08,350 to be raised by individual subscription. If it is decided to follow out this plan it will be necessary to increase the capital stock and raise the limit of indebted ness." The report closes by asking all true Masons to unite in building up . the finest Masonic temple in the \\ est. The following were elected directors for three years: Fred C. Pillsbury, 11. Kirkwood, W. M. Braekett, W. H. Fust is and Fred C. Barrows. It was de cided to increase the capital stock from $150,000 to $250,000 and to increase the limit of indebtedness from $75,000 to $125,000. There were 278 votes cast on this matter. The directors meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon, at 38 Third street south, to organize and appoint committees. LITTLE PHIL'S COUSIN. A Minneapolis Police Officer Tells of His Relationship. While Minneapolis does not claim as a resident the woman who nursed George Washington when he was but an infant, she does claim that within her borders dwells a second cousin of gallant Lieut. -Gen. Phil Sheridan, of the United States army, and a man who has ever seen "Little Phil" will see in Matthew A. Sherman, special omcer ai the first precinct police station, a strik ing likeness. "Yes," said Mr. Sheridan, as he leaned back in a chair at the station last evening, "1 am a second cousin of Phil Sheridan. He is some fifteen or twenty years older than 1 am, however. Phil's fattier was John Sheridan, and his mother's maiden name was Mary Mooney. They lived in the town of Killenean, County Cavan, Ireland, while 1 was born in the parish of Mul legh, County Cavan, some miles away. Between the two towns were several parishes, peopled almost entirely by Sheridans, all relations of ours. I never saw Phil myself, as his parents left Ireland before I was born, but I have frequently heard my parents speak of Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan and of Phil. I left there some . fifteen years ago and came to this country, and have lived in Minneapolis about twelve years. 1 have heard so much about Phil that I should like to see him." > Matthew Sheridan is a short, heavy built man, about thirty-six or thirty seven years of age, with a handsome face, covered with a heavy, full beard. The same erect bearing and resolute look about the eyes, so prominent in Phil Sheridan, are striking character istics of Matt Sheridan, and they might easily be taken for brothers. REQUIRES FINANCIERING, But the Ladies of the Northwest ern Hospital Will Get There. A meeting of the directors of the Northwestern hospital was held yester day afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Peter Wolford, Jr., 59 ..Tenth street south, thirty of the directors being present, and Mrs. L. Christian acting as chairman. The object of the gathering was to discuss the financial situation, there being a shortage of $1,100, $800 of which is owed for coal.used during this past winter, and the remaining $300 is charged up to incidental expenses. Ex cept this debt the institution is in a flourishing condition, and it was evident by the lively interest awakened in the meeting yesterday, that these ladies will soon get out of this difficulty, indeed they unanimously pledged themselves to raise a certain sum to this beneficent end in as short a time as possible. The iadies feel a little indignant that the city authorities have ceased sending charity patients there, as they derived - about $500 yearly from that source alone, and yet they are burthened with thirty-two patients who are charity ones, but not sent by the city. That this hos pital is literally doing all its goodness for nothing may be judged when it is stated that there are only six other pa tients, and all they pay is $2 a week, which, it must be acknowledged, is only a nominal sum. The hearts of the directors were greatly pleased towards the conclusion of the meeting, when Mrs. Kimball arose and read a communication from W. S. King,stating he would subscribe, whenever they saw fit to call upon him, in the sum of $500 to help them defray this debt, which has troubled them somewhat the -past few months. Of course the ladies do not expect people to try and rival the large donation of Hon. W. S. King, but if every one should give a little, the debt would soon be paid. There was naturally a great rejoicing over this windfall. University Democrats. A meeting of the Democratic students of the University was held yesterday in the Delta Sigma rooms for the purpose of organizing a Democratic club. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and the following officers elected for the ensuing year: President, H. L. Fry berger -vice president, H. J. March; ; secretary, M. H.Gerry, Jr. treasurer, E. W. Spottswood; sergeant at arms, John Rustgard; executive committee, B. L. Sacre, A. A. Finch, Siever Serum gard and J. Schurch. Hit With a Gun. . H. Davis, who makes his headquarters at Davidson's lodging house on First street north, became : involved in a row with James Eustis in Morrisy's saloon,; on First street last night, when Davis drew a revolver and pointed it at Eustis. The men were put out and renewed the. quarrel on the sidewalk. Suddenly Davis pulled his gun again and struck Eustis over the head with it, cutting the scalp badly. Davis was arrested and placed in the Central station. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MOR_nl_nG, APRIL 13, 1889. IT IS SIMPLY SIMMERING. The Hennepin Political Pot Stirs Slightly. A FEW MOVING STRAWS. Alleged Schemes in the Democratic Committee— Scheffer's New Organ —Deadly Parallel. The Democratic county committee met last night at the Algonquin club rooms. Though there was nothing of especial importance to be transacted, the rooms were well! filled and most of the party wheelhorses were; present. The committee, appointed two years ago, is generally known as the Glenn committee, from the fact that it was ap pointed by the redoubtable colonel, who was present last night as a spectator. Absolutely no business was transacted, for the reason, as one member said, that "a scheme was on hand, and as we didn't understand it we forced an adjournment." •• Chairman Rinehart said a motion "to appoint a sub-committee of five to make the ar rangements was because the general committee was too cumbersome, and the adjournment came while the motion was pending because the full committee was not present.'' Richard Heinrich said he "did not know what the motion meant" and he "voted to adjourn in or der to find out." The motion was made by J. W. Lahiff, who vehemently dis claimed any ulterior motives. When the committees adjourned, it broke up into groups and discussed various political matters, without any intimation that a row or misunderstanding had occurred. It is the prevailing opinion that the first convention of the party should name the new county committee, though some are of the belief that the present com mittee should hold until the nominating convention assembles. The committee adjourned until Tues day evening next, when a full attend ance is requested. Resolutions of re gret and respect were adopted, touching the death of J. K. Sidle and Harry Ghostly, both of whom were members of the committee. :;'-: * An Organ for Scheffer. There is, perhaps, no county in the broad state of Minnesota where the coup of Albert Scheffer with the alli ance made less stir than in Hennepin. The Republicans have spent their time in downing McGill and canvassing Mer riam, and the Democrats in booming Ames, so that neither has had much time to think of Seheffer or to calculate the result of his now famous strike. It is probable that this fact has dawned upon Mr. Scheffer, himself, together with the impression that it is high time he was stirring himself and looking to the vote of the metropoli tan county. A week ago a well known Scandinavian who has figured with greater or less prominence (and generally less) in politics, remarked that in a few days at the outside, a Scheffer move would be made apparent. Yester day a new publishing company was in corporated and it was given out very squarely that the Aftonbladet, which means evening paper, would boom for Scheffer. None of the incorporators were in the city and their views could not be ascertained, but it is generally believed the new paper will be a Schef fer organ. The only reliable informa tion obtainable was at the court house, as follows: The Aftonbladet Publishing company filed articles of incorporation with the register of deeds yesterday. This eoni- pany intends to engage in the publica tion of a newspaper and books and pamphlets. The capital stock is $10,000, and the incorporators are Eric Olson, of Sherburne county; Frank Hoskins. of Ramsey county, and Nels P. Olson and John J. Erickson, of Hennepin county. The Deadly Parallel. F. F. Davis, summing up the Barrett case to the jury— When my present term shall have expired I will retire to the shades of private life. My assistant, Mr. Jamison, will also retire, having de termined to abondon official life for mercantile pursuits. Never again will we appear before you in the character of public prosecutors. Assistant Jamison Yesterday Yes, I am a candidate for county attorney. I had positively made up my mind not to be a candidate for that or any other office, but too many of the boys got after me and 1 had to give in finally. I did not think, to tell the honest truth, that I was old and experienced enough to fill the office acceptably. But a good many of the older and better class of attorneys urged me so much that they finally con vinced me that I would do nicely if I was elected, and they feel positive that I will be. lam in the field now, win or lose. Political Straws. Freeman Krech, postmaster at Aitkin, Minn., is in the city for a few days. Freeman is one of the old members* of the Union league of this city, but like Fred Puhler, postmaster at Ada, Minn., after living a few years among the farmers of the northern part of the state, he saw the bad result of the high war tariff maintained by the G. O. P., and became an enthusiastic tariff re former and a Democrat. After the elec tion of President Cleveland he was appointed postmaster at Aitkin at the unanimous request of his fellow towns men. C. P. Preston, crowned with the hon ors of chairman of the Republican con gressional committee and secretary of the court house commission, is a candi date ;or clerk of the court. W. M. Braekett will head a party of Republicans who will attend the Chi cago convention. He has a diagram of the rooms they will occupy. Frank Hart, generalissimo of the Snider congressional boom, is one mass of smiles. Headquarters and a "har'l" have not yet been opened. J. W. Lawrence, A. L. Penny, A. D. Smith, J. T. Byrnes and W. 11. Donahue are all mentioned as candidates for county attorney. Under the new law there should be at least 100 precincts in Minneapolis. The council should see that no fewer are ar ranged. F. G. Holbrook, for comptroller, and K. Koortgaard, for treasurer, will prob ably be nominated by acclamation. The Democratic council caucus of last night adjourned until Saturday without transacting any business. There is talk, in certain quarters, of sending Col. Glenn to St. Louis as a means of placating him. It is said President Titus . Mareck, of the council, will be brought out as a candidate for mayor. SHORT SAYINGS.

'■■- Hon. W. J.- Spencer and wife, : of Cairo, . Mich., are : guests of H. S. Conner, 3021 Grand avenue. .. ,„. R. B. Langdon and family returned yester day from Old Point Comfort, where ■• they have been spending the last few weeks. .such a dubious manner that the land , lady asked him what was the matter, and he might have more if he wanted r it, but "he simply said no, and what there was of it was enough for him ; that will illustrate the growing senti ment of the country they have had .their fill of protection, and what they have had has been * quite enough for them. Protection causes me to 'pay $35 or $40 for a' suit of clothes when I ought to get the same for $20, but our paternal government steps in and taxes everything in ; connection with my suit and to the result I have experienced and you have and every one else who have purchased a good imported suit of clothes. The total value of manufac tured goods in the United States, con sumed at home, amounted in 1880 to $5,250,000,000. . On a great deal of this sum the tariff did not increase price. A great many articles • so called manufactured, such as flour and feed, are not affected in price by the tariff. We export them, not import them. The average rate of duty on dutiable goods was 41.70 percent .in - 1880; assuming what is reasonable that the average in crease of manufactured articles amounts to only one-fourth of the duty, then the increased cost of our home-made goods amounted to $547,000,000 per year. Moreover, this means so much ADDITIONAL CAPITAL INVOLVED in the business of handling them, and on this additional capital must be raised an extra 25 per cent for retail and wholesale profits, which means a tax of $30,000,000 more. This last is all sheer waste; the government . gets nothing from all this vast • sum. It amounts to about $700,000,000 and is . what the consumers pay annually in America for the price less boon of a protective tariff. But the most astounding thing is, we have al ways had free trade in labor in this country, and there is a certain irony in connection with this that must" be glanced at. A Cunarder arrives from Europe having on board 1,000 emi grants, who represent labor and are coming to compete with you and me. Is there any tax on them? Oh, no, but in the hold of that vessel are 1,000 crates of merchandise, the product of labor. What benefits labor, the neces sities of labor— these are what get taxed. WHAT IS THE RESULT? •" Reckoning the 1,000 men representing labor at 10 per cent to be worth $2,000 a head and landing free, and reckoning the crates to be worth the same with an additional 75 per cent charged by the government, increasing the cost to an other $1,000 almost, is it not obvious that labor has got to make up that $1,000 to get even somehow? Speaking of the taxation of home articles, he reverted to matches and to the shoe trade, both of them the most prosperous in the country, money being invested in them all the time, and more since the taxation had been taken off hides of -leather and matches. He touched shortly upon the woolen industry, and closed by apostrophising the principle of free trade as simply a righteous doc trine and the outcome of free thought, free speech and a free press.

An Attache of the French Lega tion Secures the Second One of the Trio. Washington, April 12.— The en gagement is announced of Miss Flora West, daughter of the British minister, to Gabriel Salanson. Mr. Salanson is one of the secretaries of the French le gation in Washington. Miss Flora West is the second of Sir Lionel West's three daughters, and is accounted the hand somest of them all. She has been for two or thiee seasons past the leading spirit in the entertainments given at the legation, and has overseen all its social matters. At the last annual ball given in January it was whispered that by the time another year came round some one else might be presiding. The wedding, it is said, will take place in Paris some time in May or June. The Misses West sail for Europe April 21. It is not un likely that after his marriage Mr. Salan son will get a transfer to some diplo matic post in Europe. ■ .___. XOCAIs MENTION. ■ A First-Class Hotel For $2 a day. .
