WANT HAIiP A MILLION.
Estimated Cost of Conducting
State Institution's.
At the request of Gov. McGill a list
of recommendations to be made to the
legislature by the state board of correc
tions and charities was yesterday com
piled by Secretary Hart. The principal
recommendations are that no board of
trustees of any state correctional or
charitable institution shall have a ma-
jority of its members resident in
the county where any . ono institu
tion under their charge is located;
appropriation for the state board of cor-
rections and charities shall be made a
permanent appropriation; an advirsory
board of pardons to be established, con-
sisting of the attorney general and four
members; that an annual appropriation
of $3,500 be made to the .Prisoners' Aid
society, I) be organized shortly; that
the parole system, with the system of
grades and marks, be extended to pris-
oners serving their first sentence in the
state prison; the board of state prison
inspectors be increased to five members
and that the warden he appointed one
of the inspectors. . iU
Mr. Hart explained that, since the
contract system had been abolished,
and it was expected that the public ac-
count system would take its place, it
would be necessary, in order to insure
the success of the latter system, that
the office of the warden should be taken
entirely out of politics, and that the
powers of the warden should be en-
larged by bringing him into direct re-
sponsibility with the board ot in-
spectors. , 7'A'y
Recommendation is also made that a |
standing initial appropriation be made
for each institution for current ex-
penses, as is now done in the case of the
soldiers' home, state university and the
normal schools. The estimated appro
nations required are: Fergus Falls
ospital for insane, $25,000; St. Peter
hospital for insane, $140,000; Roches
ter hospital for insane, S140,0o0;
school for deaf, $35,000: school for the
blind, 813,000; school for the feeble-
minded, $30,000; state public school.
$15,000: reform school. $35,000; state
prison, $40,000: total, $408,000. These
appropriations to be supplemented by
the legislature as may be found neces
sary. "That special appropriation of
about 7 per cent of the inventoried
value on lands and buildings be granted
annually to each institution as a fund
for extraordinary repairs and improve-
ments. • , _
■7 Gov. McGill will deal with several of
the recommendations in his forthcom-
ing message to the legislature.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE n
Opposed to Advertising Except in
the Regular Channels.
' '.The chamber of commerce at its meet
ing yesterday morning adopted a reso
lution requesting the committee on
streets to inquire Into and report regard-
ing the franchise to be granted Frank
Ration and others for steam heating,
and particularly as to the advantages
and disadvantages to the city. The com
mittee will call upon the council this
evening and endeavor to secure a post-
ponement of the matter for the present.
A resolution was introduced express-
Ingthe chamber's disapproval of certain
advertising projects in regard to the
city of St. Paul, and requesting the
members of the chamber and business
men of the city to refuse any assistance
to such advertisers unless the matter
had been examined by the proper com-
mittee and was recommended by a vote
of the chamber. Mr. Noyes thought
every business man should be left fr»-e
to advertise where and when he thought
'best. Messrs. Thompson and Seabuiy
supported the resolution, which was
finally referred to- the committee on
statistics and correspondence. ■
The committee on sanitation and
health called attention to the fact that
the Ramsey county delegates in the
legislature were likely to be called upon
to ask the issuance of $500,000 of bonds
' for building a sewer system in the Mid
way district.
ARSENIC PLENTIFUL.
Testimony of chemical Experts in
the Olsen Case.
Although the most important witness
for the prosecution in the Olsen murder
trial occupied the stand all day yester-
day, there was not much that was of
importance to the public. Dr. Lehman
was put upon the stand in the morning
and testified that ho made the analysis
of Mrs.Lindmann's stomach. In the
latter part of August Drs. Ancker and
Quinn brought to him the kidneys,
liver, heart and spleen for analysis.
The defense by cross questioning
tried to shake the testimony, but to no
avail. Dr. Vieregge assisted Dr. Leh-
man in the analysis of Mrs. Lind-
lnann's remains, and the results were
given by Dr. Lehman as follows:. "We
made between fifty and sixty tests
aud found arsenic every time. I have
•here three and three-quarter grains of
arsenic in the form of arsenious acid.
This has boon gathered outside of the
tests made for arsenic which destroyed
about one grain of the arsenic.' in the
viscera submitted to me." The
witness then explained in detail
the chemical processes used in the an-
alysis. Dr. Viereirge will bo placed on
tho stand this morning. The court
room was as crowded as ever, the
spectators evincing the greatest in-
terest in the dull proceedings of the ex-
amination. The prisoner looted much
more haggard than on Saturday, but
sets in mute conjecture of what was go
ing on around him.
TO FORECLOSE A LIEN.
Court Proceedings Regarding the
Exposition Building.
The case of the John Martin Lumber
company against Sarah A. Davidson
et al., to foreclose on a mechanic's lien
on the property where the Exposition
building formerly stood, was resumed
yesterday. It was alleged that Clarence
_L Saulpaugh is a joint owner in the
reconstruction of the building into a
theater, and that upon such representa
tions plaintiff sold the material to the
defendant. Sackett & Wiggings, the
Davidsons and others are Interested in
this suit, which is for $1,400. Judge
Brill dismissed the action against the
Davidsons, except Edward E. Davidson.
To-day the case will be resumed, and
will probably be submitted.
Cash and Acres for City Property.
S. G. Sloan yesterday sold to R. B.
Galusha, for W. P. Langford, lot 13,
block 28, Rice & Irvine's addition, im-
proved by a three-story brick dwelling.
Mr. Galusha paid $5,000 in cash for the
property, and in addition gave forty
acres of land in the northeast quarter
of section 12, town 29, range 23, valued
at $12,000. Ex-Gov. Marshall has occu-
pied the house for the past past four
years.

BOULEVAR[UND PARK
Property Owners on Summit
Avenue Favor Extensive
Improvements.7 ■
Beautifying a Roadway Which
Will Connect the Twin
Cities.
School Statistics and Other
Topics Discussed by the
Inspectors.
Recommendations Prepared
to Be Submitted to the
Legislature.
The annual meeting of the Summit
Avenue Boulevard and Park associa
tion was held in the chamber of com-
merce yesterday afternoon. All mem
bers of this association are property
owners upon the avenue, and are di
rectly interested in its improvement.' :
The association has a membership of
seventy, and 'these were present at the .
meeting: Gen. C.C. Andrews, Capt.;
Edward Simonton, ex-Mayor Prince,
George Palmes, Lucien Warner, 11. A.
Campbell, N. C. Thrall, Push B.
Wheeler, Charles A. Moore, A. li.
Bushnell. A. S. Tallmadge, F. B. Far
well, James King, Dr. Perrin, B.C.
Monger, Dr. Horton and E. J. Hudson.
The meeting was called to order at 3
o'clock, and President Andrews, taking
the floor, outlined the past, present and
future of the association in the follow
ing address: . 7:7:-^
According to the by-laws 'Hho general ob
ject of this association shall bo to promote
the improvement and ornamentation of Sum-
mit avenue, by planting and cultivating
trees, cleaning and keeping in oraer parks,
streets, boulevards ana sidewalks, and do-
ing such other acts as shall tend to beautify
and improve said avenue and grounds. To
maintain a through sanitary condition
throughout said territory and to assure su
lci vision of such other enterprises as may
contribute to the health and comfort of the
residents and to the improvement of the
realty contained within the territory of said
association." The object of the association
is
NOT TO BOOM rnorEr.TV
but to give it greater intrinsic value by mak-
ing it more pleasant and attractive for
homes. At a voluntary sacrifice to private
owners the avenue has been widened to 200
feet, graded and boulevarded from Lexing
' n avenue to the bank of the Mississippi.
T ie board oi water commissioners, at an ex-
pense of $12,000, have the past season ex-
tended the water mains from St. Albans
street to the Short Line bridge, a distance of
one- and one-sixth miles. The sewer is built
as far as Victor a street. Communication
along the bank of the river to the new Mar-
shall avenue bridge ('which will be ready for
use in the course of this mouth) ought to be
open before spring. The contractors who
graded Summit avenue will in the spring,
under the supervision of the city engineer,
sow the boulevard with timothy, and clover.
. Sufficient money was reserved to pay for
this. Some plan oiluht soon to be ma-
tured for a still further improvement
of the avenue, including tree-planting
and sodding of the boulevards, yto be
ultimately maintained by the park commis
sion. It lias been suggested that perhaps
the owners of some block would, at their
own expense, be willing to improve that
part of the avenue and boulevard- opposite -
their property in a.perfect manner, so as to
form a pattern of what the whole ought to
be. This would include a perfect piece of
macadamizing, sodding and the planting of
ornamental tices and flowers. Such a step
would hasten the improvement of the whole.
Summit avenue does not, like the Quaidu
Mont Blanc at Geneva, afford a view of
Europe's sublime mountain, wrapt in eternal
snow. It is not the "Avenue dcs Champs
F.lysees" of Paris, but it can become a .very {
beautiful and attractive avenue. -'-' What an
interesting feature it would be. to gather
there a collection of trees representing the
best varieties of
01 11 RICH MINNESOTA. FORESTS.
Through the efforts of a. committee con
sisting of Messrs. Edward Simonton and
William M. Bushnell many new members,
each paving the membership fee of 55, have
been added to tde association since our last
meeting, making our present number seventy,
and placing out finances on a good basis.
There are about" fifty more property holders
on the avenue west Of Kent street who are
eligible, but who are not yet members. If
all would co-operate according to their re-
spective influence the association could be
made productive of great benefit. W
At the conclusion of the president's
address the treasurer's annual report
' was read and showed that not only were
all bills paid, but there was a balance in
the treasury. The committee on streets
and boulevards reported that the neces
sary grading had been completed and
that all. the necessary hills would be
liquidated without further expense to
the property owners.
Dr. Horton, chairman of the commit-
tee on the extension of the cable line,
stated that he had a conference with
Thomas Lowrv regarding the extension
of the cable to Victoria street. Mr.
Lowry was not in favor of an extension
unless ,'.-'V:"7/.-f".» . "7..- '.. -
FIVE MtT.ES OF CABLE
were put down, ahd Selby avenue
graded and sewered from St. Albans
street to the railway. He also desired
to widen Selby avenue to eighty feet,
and to run from Selby avenue to the
river; thence north to Marshall avenue,
to Cleveland. Mr. Lowry stated that a
bonus had been offered the company by
the residents of Merriam Park if the
cable were extended to that suburb. The
cable company did not care for a bonus,
but would like property to the extent of
$100,000. which would enable them to
dispose of bonds by having the property
built up.
11. A. Campbell delivered a short
speech against the tending of cattle on
either side of the boulevard, and tramp-
ing down the grass and flowers by the
reckless manner in which the cattle
were permitted to roam at will. "The
city must either regulate this evil and
keep it within proper . hounds.7' con-
eluded the speaker, "or prohibit it."
It. C. Hunger was in favor of a boule
vard in Minneapolis, corresponding to
the Summit avenue boulevard, extend-
ing from the river to Lake Calhoun, and
to be identical with the local boulevard,
both as to width and style. A commit-
tee, consisting of Messrs. Hunger, Bush
noil and Wheeler, was appointed to
confer with the Minneapolis authorities
in regard to the project. "
('apt. Simonton suggested that one or
more blocks of the boulevard be com-
pleted with the proper accessories of
flowers, trees and turf.
The election of officers was thcu held
and resulted as follows: ;7-.;
- C. V. Andraws; vice presi
dent, E. J. Hudson; secretary, A. S.
Tallmadge; treasurer.Rush B. Wheeler;
executive committee, Lucien Warner,
.lames King and C. A. Moore.
The members of the association have
donated their property, and paid the
assessment thereon, and now wish the
city to do its part in the matter. A pro-
posal is on foot to extend the boulevard
north to the Minneapolis line, and south
down the river, passing State park,
soldiers' home and crossing Seventh
street at* Snelling avenue. If their
plans are followed it will make the
boulevard one ot the finest in the coun
try, and this matter will be considered
at the next meeting, as well as the ad-
visability of a new bridge over the Mil-
waukee road at the avenue crossing, .-.-..
Convivial Civil Engineers.
The Civil Engineer's society, of St.
Paul, held a meeting in the parlors of
the Ryan hotel last evening. Business
was generally suspended during the
meeting, and measures of a social na
ture were dealt . with. . S. 7D. Mason,
principal assistant -engineer of the
Northern Pacific Hail way company,

STRICTLY EDUCATIONAL.
Sarah ■ Roberts -.Will. Sell Ground- ;
y .for High School Addition.
Thirteen thousand: one hundred and
forty-six are the number.' of .pupils in ';
the city public schools, as reported last ',
evening by Sunt. Taylor to the mem- 7
bers of the board of education*.-:. The en
rollment is. made up in this manner!
Day schools, 11.598; evening schools,
1,548. These figures are based upon
the present school term, but the enroll
ment for November, In the- day schools
was 11,108, with an average daily at
tendance of 9,007; there is an increase
of 1,071 pupils admitted this term com
pared ' with the corresponding 7 period
last year. There is a misunderstanding: j
between the board and Sarah A. ': Rob
erts as to the purchase of 10 feet by 100 ;
feet east of the new addition to the High
school for the purpose of light and air.
Mrs. Roberts, therefore, made the •
following 7 proposition:. 7 "I will sell
to the board of education the westerly
5 feet and the easterly 100 feet of lots
13 and 14, block <>, Roberts & Randall's
addition, for the sum of ?2,500; and in
addition to this I will give the next 5 .
feet by 100 feet, said 10 feet to be used
as a private alley by the High school
and myself."
The committee on real estate was re
quested to meet and decide upon this
offer at once, and within five minutes
it reported in favor of accepting .•; tho
proposition, and recommended that the
same be referred to the proper officers
to execute the necessary papers.
Inspector Wright— We must have a
warranty deed for the 5 feet Mrs. Rob
erts proposes to give: -7: ;
City Attorney Murray— That is to be
a part of the transaction.
A petition, signed by 142 citi
zens, set forth that the territory
comprising No. 3 district. Ninth ward,
was being built up very rapidly,
anil it was a necessity that a
school house should be "' A "* on the
property owned by the city, corner of
Sylvan 'and Geranium streets. - 7.
Inspector Wright moved that the
committee on schools should be re
quested to investigate, not only this
locality, but all parts of the city, and
report i what should bo the building
operations of the board for next year.
Supt. Taylor, reported that addi
tional rooms -must be opened at
Cleveland .and Scheffer schools, ow
ing to the continued enrollment
of pupils. : A high compliment
was paid by Supt. Taylor to Prof. Cong
don, superintendent of music, for the
effective manner in which this depart
ment of the public education was being
looked after. Prof. Taylor said: "1
believe, with ' proper instruction con
tinued and the use of the music readers
now in the hands of the pupils," and the
same interest manifested by the teach
ers as has been hitherto shown, there
can be no reason why the schools iv
this city shall not be equal to those of
other cities in this branch of study."
S. F. Adams, the architect, is to fur
nish plans and specifications for a new
school building at Lake Park addition.
The old Hancock frame school building
has been sold for §300, and is to be re
moved from its present site. The
Longfellow annex has also been sold for
§375. "Additional drawing models and
tablets for use in the new buildings are
to be furnished, the cost not to exceed
$,500. while $3,000 was appropriated for
the purchase of much needed school
supplies. A petition was presented
asking for the removal of the janitor of
Rice school, which was relegated to the
committee on fuel and lanitors.
The committee ou schools recom
mended the adoption of the following:
"Resolved, That the maintenance of
the Teachers' Training school precludes
the necessity of employing in future
inexperienced teachers, and that in all
future examinations all applicants for
positions of teachers, only those who .
have had successful experience in teach
ing shall be received and examined as
such applicants." The proposition was
agreed to.
Inspector Wright moved to appoint a
committee on legislation to re
port upon legislation desirable to be
secured from the state legislature.
"There are," said Mr. Wright, "techni
cal alterations to be made in the organic
act, and possibly our building operations
next year may* reauire us to call upon
the legislature for a new issue of
bonds." V- -y ':'. .
The motion was agreed to, and the
board adjourned.

* There was yesterday filed in" the dis
trict court a case : which will shortly
spread its influence upon the | holdings
of property ..owners within the city limits
and make its importance generally fellj
throughout the real estate fraternity. It
was the test case of Auditor Bradeii
against M.F. Kain as auditor of Ram
sey county. 1; A petition was yesterday
fifed with the clerk of the district court,
praying for an alternate writ of man-!
damus enjoining and restraining the
county auditor from charging penalty
or. priucipal against . properties j taxed
for the removal by the city engineer of
snow and ice from the sidewalks in
front of such property. Judge Wilkin
issued the writ returnable into court
Dec. 10 at 10 a."m.-, when the arguments
will be hoard and the county auditor
show. cause why the liens and. charges
so accrued against property have
not been purged and removed from
the records, and why not so removed
from lot 1, block 3. of Woodland Park
addition to St. Paul, the property which
Auditor Braden has introduced to. test
the validity of the law as now enforced
against all the property within the city,
limits bordered by sidewalks. The
case, introduced at this time of the
year, just before the yearly tax collec
tion, is one for serious consideration,
since property owners will be encum
bered with the necessity of paying this
tax upon every piece of . property they
may sell and transfer after Jan. 1, 1880.
Deeds will not pass the auditor's office
and certificate i without the payment of
this tax, and- thus property will be so
bound up, while the cose is pending.
that great inconvenience and outlays
will fall to those who deed property.
after that date. .yv :'- v
Auditor Kain, being interviewed yes
terday by a Globe representative, said:'
."I am very sorry that the case comes up
now, as we are working hard to get up

"It is probably a test case. . and the
laws of the city, from which I derive
my power of procedure, are as follows:

premises of all accumulation of snow and ice. |

A VACANT CHAIR.
Retirement of a Faithful Public
Official.
. It is not often '. that a vacant chair can
be found in the state auditor's depart- j
ment, but yesterday there was one par
ticular chair vacant. Empty and for
lorn it looked, as for sixteen years it
had been held down by W. L.Vincent,;
who quit the state house Saturday, for
the last time, as a public servant. W.
L. Vincent was first appointed to the
state auditor's staff in 1872, and ■ not
withstanding the changes of administra
tion, continued to hold office until now.
Being well stricken in years, he has re
tired, to that privacy of life which a
long and honorable career merits. Mr. ;
Vincent is an old landmark in the state
house, and as a public official was very
highly respected. He is the father-in
law of State Public Examiner Kenyon.

Opinions Concerning a Proposed Hot
yy>>)> Water Ordinance.
MONOPOLY DISCOURAGED.
Interests of the City to Be Carefully
7.-7 Guarded by the Council Before a
Decision Is Reached. 7
At a meeting of the committee on
'■ streets last Friday evening a j favorable
recommendation to the council was
made of an ordinance granting permis
sion to an Eastern corporation to oper-
ate a line of pipe for the conveyance of
superheated water and steam to such
public and private buildings as might
require the same for heating and other
purposes. The proposition will come
before the council this evening, aud the
views of a number of representative
citizens on the subject are submitted
herewith.
Postmaster Lee— all right as fat-
as the scheme is concerned, and 1 think
it will probably prove a good one. Ido
not believe in granting an -exclusive
francfrse to such a corporation. It's
bad business, I think. - y.v
-"•'Capt. George Hayes— do not think
they can heat the city as promised. yl
don't see how they can heat more than
four blocks from their power house. If
it has proven a . success elsewhere it
ought to be a good thing. I think very
favorably of it if it eau be applied hero
with any degree of success.
Capt. O'Connor— lf practical, it will
no doubt be a great improvement to tho
city. .-
I R. T. O'Connor— l should think that it
would be a very good scheme. The
next question is, how does it work and
will it prove a success? • > . ,
M. J. Bell— l ,do \ not know enough
! about the matter to speak intelligently
about its merits. If the council passes
the ordinance for a franchise it must
be for the -interests of. the public, 1
should judge. :..,.-
Marshal Campbell— l have been so
busy that I have not had time to study
the matter. I guess it's a very good
thing. ' :
Adam Decker— l don't have much
faith in it, but of course I'm in the
stove business 'and am naturally op-
posed to it. It might be successfully
operated in Southern cities, but not in
this climate.
R. C. Hunger— consider the idea of
heating buildings by steam, hot air or
hot water from a general fountainhead
a feasible one, but am not prepared to
express an opinion as to this particular
process. If this method of heating has
reached that state of perfection, how-
ever, that its success is assured, I be-
lieve it would be a very desirable ac-
quisition to the city.
James A. Dyer— Steam plants for gen-
eral heating purposes have been sue-
cessfully operated in several large
cities, but I am not prepared to express
an opinion on the hot water system.
One thing is assured; there is no city in
the country better located for a hot
water plant than St. Paul. We have a
natural gradual slope in the business
section, which would greatly aid in its
operation, v
George R. Monfort— l have not exam-
ined the plans of this proposed system
of heating, but .if the success of the
scheme Is not assured I do not consider
St. Paul a good city to experiment upon.
It would be very unpleasant to live
without heat or live in ■; indifferently
■ heated rooms when the thermometer
: indicated 40 dog. below zero.
! William Pitt Murray— l don't know
; much about the plans or the workings
Of this proposed system of heating. The
men introducing it bring a large num
ber of testimonials from Boston, where
it appears to be working all right, and
if it works there it probably will here.
The ordinance granting the privilege
will likely pass.
Josiah Fairchild— l am not in favor of
that franchise at all. The city is too
loose about this matter. . Giving such
j franchises as the city has given is alto-
gether wrong. ' :-:.■•;:
r E. E. Hughson— l do not know hardly
; how to answer that question, as Ido
not know the condition upon which the
franchise will be given. If it is given
j as an exclusive franchise, such as : the
one our street railway has been * given,
: I should most emphatically say "No."
I We don't want to give any more such
' grips -as that to any one. I will admit
that the matter of disposing of franchises
of this character is a difficult one to
handle, and that no one desires to come
: here and put in a plant costing several
: hundred thousand dollars without being
: satisfied that he will be well remuner
\ ated for the outlay. We have been too
careless in granting franchises, and too
i free. The interests of the city have not
: been sufficiently guarded. The city
: council cannot be too careful.
s V.-'C. Elfelt— lf a franchise \is given it
: should be well guarded, aud the \ inter-
ests of the city should be fully pro-
tected. . .
W*l. H. Whitmore— l don't know much
tfflout it; and don't know as I have any
opinion. They have it working in New
; York and I believe it 'is regarded las a
; very good thing. lam strongly in favor
: of anything that .will furbish cheap
heat here. ">•' - j*. ".*■" v --'-'*■
• J. May— believe that if we could
have a plant, put in here under proper
conditions and restrictions, that it would
be a good thing. It could, undoubtedly,
- furnish heat at a cheaper rate than we
can produce it with coal and wood. In
this respect it would be very desirable
indeed. But no franchise of any kind
ought to granted that will be perpetual
'. and out of the control of the city.;: -
Gen. Mark D.- Flower— lam. in favor
of letting everybody come in and put in
their plants. • In that way we will get
cheap fuel. Let the steam man put in
his plant. He will : reduce the price
some. Then if the natural gas man
comes along and proposes 7to 1 heat the
hot water, givejiira at chance. Let us
have free competition and lots of it. y. I
don't believe In giving anybody a mon
opoly of the matter.*' Nor do I believe
; in giving anyone a franchise that will
make the" person receiving it independ
ent of the city. ;'^M

with orders immediately before the Holidays, and that we can NOW
give you a much better chance to select than in two or three weeks hence.
We have a splendid assortment of Grands and Uprights of the
