MINNEAPOLIS. Additional City News on the Fifth Page t^-, , , , . WHY KEEP UP TH.X FARCE? Freeman P. Dane seems to have struck a popular chord in purposing to present a bill reducing the number of-aldermen to one from each ward and four at large. The ward representation was increased to thirty-nine for the purpose of creat ing a Republican majority when the city was gerrymandered. Now that the Republicans have cuptured the city government for at least four years to come.there is no need of continuing the unnecessary expense. Mr. Lane's pro posed bill for the abolition of the police commission should receive as hearty a support. The police commission has served its purpose, that of robbing a Democratic mayor of his power. The mayor is a Republican now. What is the use of keeping up the farce any longer? Remember, too, those ante-election promises of economy. If the salaries of city officials are to remain as they are, with the exception of those that are raised, how can there be economy un less by curtailing expenses by abolish ing figureheads, as Mr. Lane suggests. o A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. There is an opportunity to make the Minneapolis exposition this year a great success. The Thirteenth regiment of New York, with Gov. Hill and staff, in tend in the fall to take a Western trip, and it is likely would accept an invita tion to visit Minneapolis and be present at the opening of the great industrial show of the Northwest. Rev. De Witt Talmage is chaplain of the regi ment, and would also be along, and could probably be prevailed upon to de liver the address. The scheme is a splendid one, which, if carried out, will be a great advertisement for Minneap olis, and will give the exposition the necessary impetus to make its fourth year the most successful in its history. It will probably cost something like $20,000 to entertain the distinguished guests with eclat, but Minneapolis has never counted expense when the ques tion ot hospitality has arisen. m* REDUCE THE COUNCIL. Ex-Aid. Bob Ervin— Yes, 1 think we have got too many aldermen, and ought to have the number very largely re duced. I don't think the salary part of the scheme is good, though. The salary is none too large now, and if thirteen men are to do the work that thirty nine do now and attend to it faithfully they certainly ought not to be asked to do it for less money. A board of pub lic works should be created to act in conjunction with so small a council. Aid. Tom Downs— he measure is just what 1 have, advocated' for a long time, except that 1 don't see that alder men at large are any good at all. They are responsible to no one, and are worse than useless. If we are to reduce the number, make it one from each ward, and then let us create a good board of public works, the powers of which shall be purely executive and all whose acts shall be under the direction of the coun cil. Then we will get good work. The matter of salary is of minor importance. Aid. Joseph Ingenhutt— The bill meets my views exactly. Here is a town of 250.000 inhabitants with more aldermen than New York finds neces sary to conduct her city government. I think seventeen aldermen and a board of public works would hit the nail on the head. A Thoughtful Republican— We may have a few too many aldermen now, but seventeen are hardly enough; there would be too much work for each to do. I am not in favor of such a move. Aid. F. C. Barrows -It is my idea ex actly : reduce the council to one alder man from each ward. I think, however, there should be six instead of four aldermen at large. Charles Hanscom— There is no doubt but the plan is a good one and a step in the right direction. Even the aldermen themselves would favor it, 1 think. Fred B. Snyder— reduction of the number of aldermen would certain ly be a good thing for Minneapolis, as there are far too many now. In regard to the salary each alderman should re ceive 1 hardly know what to say. If it is put up high it is sure to attract a lot of salary grabbers, who want the office only for the money there is in it. If the salary was placed at a figure so low that these men would not make a fight for it, and good men would still be will ing to take it, a happy medium would be struck, and we would get a better council. John M. Miller— Both the plan to re duce the number of aldermen to thir teen and four at large, and to cut the salaries down to $300 a year, are good, and it would be well for the city if they were put into execution. It would re sult in a saving to the city of 52.700 an nually, and the city's business would be transacted in better shape. Why New York has less aldermen than has Minneapolis. There is no sense in our having as many as we have now. John F. Peterson— lt strikes me that it would be a very good idea to reduce the number of aldermen to thirteen and four at large. lam not prepared to say much in regard to the salary, but should think that $500 a year would be about right. S. L. Baker— While the plan is a good one, I would go still further. My plan would be to have one alderman from each ward and two at large, and pay them but ?200 a year. Such a plan would result in better men and better service. It is the height of absurdity to have as many aldermen as we have now. This is shown every day. J. N. Nind— l think that it's right. I agree with Mr. Lane on that subject, but I don't agree with him as to' the abolishment of the police commission. W, 11. Tripp— is no question but that the number of aldermen should be cut down. The salary is now too large. The proper figure would be $100, for it is a fact; that the lower the salary the better class of men you will get in the lower legislative bodies. J. V. Mcllugh— The cutting down of the number of aldermen is all right, but the salary should not be touched. F. 11, Boar'dman— 3. should think that it was a good thing. It would make a good deal better working body than they now have. ALL SORTS. The outbreak of the desperate gang of newspaper men and skaters at the South side ball park on Sunday last imperatively calls for the organization among church people of a law and order league or a vigilance committee, J. S. Gray, the horticultural alder man from the Thirteenth ward, pro posed to the committee on license yes erday that bull purps be assessed $50 each per year and a $10 license be im posed on game cocks. As several municipal legislators and others who sit in the tight places would be directly interested it probably won't go. Freeman P. Lane's scheme to reduce aldermanic salaries is not to be consid ered by thinking men, who know that it would leave some city fathers with out visible means of support. One of next week's attractions at the dime museum will be a fall-fledged at torney who has not placed himself m the hands of his friends as a candidate for judge in the district court. The superintendent of the workhouse will be unable to take a long breath until the decision of the skating cases Is made to-day. and he knows whether or not a pair of large-brained, hungry journalise with indestructible stomachs are to be turned loose upon him. The single-tax theory seems to inter est chiefly those people who have only a single tax to pay, and that one a poll tax. ■-.■. A SMALM SCARE. Much Excitement in the Flour City Over a Case of Varioloid, Two Men in a Quarantined House Make Their Escape Through a Window. Six Men With Winchester Rifles Sent to Pursue and Capture Them. The Scheme to Have Gov. Hill and the Thirteenth Regi ment at the Expo. An old woman who recently arrived in this country from Sweden and was employed in the Thirteenth Avenue hotel until a sickness incapacitated her for work and she was turned out of doors, was brought to the university, on Ninth avenue south and Sixth street, Sunday afternoon by a countrywoman of hers, with whom she had been stay ing since being turned out of doors by the uniiospitable land lord who at first employed her. Dr. Hunter examined her at the dispensary and at once pronounced her sickness to be varioloid. The case was reported to Health Officer ' Kilvington, who went to work at once with a large force of men, who vaccwiated all the 100 medical students who had been ex posed, quarantined the hospital, and went through ; a similar pro cess with the Thirteenth Avenue hotel, and another house where the woman had stooped. A man from the hotel had been arrested and placed in the central police station, and Dr. Kilving ton had all the tramps and prisoners vaccinated and the building fum igated. The woman was re moved to the quarantine hospital. There was a good deal of dissatisfaction in the quarantined houses all day yes terday, and" towards evening two men jumped from a second story window ot the hotel and escaped . The health officer sent six men with Winchester rifles to pursue and capture them, but they are still at large. THE EXPOSITION. The Thirteenth New York Regi ment Band Probably to Be En gaged. The committee on music for the ex position of 1889, which met at the West hotel last evening, decided to recom mend to the board of directors the engagement of the Thirteenth Regi ment band of New York. The matter of extending an in- ; vitation to the entire regiment, includ ing Gov. Hill and staff, to be present at the opening of the big show, was dis cussed and definite action was post poned to see what the citizens of the city will do towards raising the requi site funds to defray the expense of transportation and entertainment. The cost of getting the regiment here would be large, but as it is composed almost entirely of representative New Yorkers, it is thought that a visit from such a body could not fail to be of great advantage' to the city and this entire section of the country, and Manager Byron said last night that almost every one who had bee« consulted in the mat ter seemed to be pleased with the scheme. .__ CONDUIT, Y'KNOW. So Telephone and Electric Light Companies Say. When the committee on underground wires met in the council chamber yes terday afternoon there was a large gathering of people interested in the electric light and power companies, and the first one to be heard was C. P. Weineman, superintendent of the tele phone company. He read letters from managers of electric companies in New York. Brooklyn, Chicago aud Detroit, all the cities in which the Dorsett con duit is used, stating that the Dorsett system, and other systems like it, had been found dangerous, troublesome, and almost impracticable. He also stated that his company had in contemplation the use ot a different system, which would be much better for them and for the city. The attorney of the Edison company spoke at some length, presenting the objections heretofore urged against the Dorsett system, and stating also the ad vantages of the Edison system of ar mored cables. He also told the city fathers that the Dorsett company had played a game on the city filling the whole ditch at the manholes and really had made it impossible for the other companies to work in the ditches with out interfering with the wires already down. Mr. Decelle, attorney for the Thomp son-Houston company, said: "We came here asking to be allowed to put our poles on such streets as we may, and underground on such streets as we must." He thought, however, that the Dorsett company would not be able to accommodate their wires, as the conduit was not found to be practical. The matter was then referred to the city at torney for him to examine the ordi nance and report at the next meeting of the committee. A MOTHER'S DEVOTION. Mrs. Barrett Visits Pete and Tim at the Jail. Mrs. Barrett, the mother of Tim and Pete, was a visitor at the county jail yesterday afternoon to see the con demned murderers. When Deputy Sheriff Shepley saw her come in he be gan writing out a pass for her. This seemed to strike the old lady as a very suspicious circumstance, and she at once began to abuse the deputy for his "underhand tricks," which she said she knew all about. When she reached the jail she went first to the cell .occupied by Pete, and kissed him through the bars. She was crying all the time she was there, but Pete did not show any emotion. She told the boy to keep up courage, that he would soon be free, and that he would live to overthrow his enemies. Pete re plied that he had not given up hope,and would not until lie stood upon the scaf fold. Mrs. Barrett's interview with her son Tim was not marked by any display of affection, as was shown in Pete's case. Tim did not appear to be greatly pleased at the visit, and answered his mother in the shortest way possible. \ -.-:;■ SOMEWHAT MIXED UP. The Suit Against the Minnesota Mutual Benefit Association. Before Judge Young yesterday the suit of Mrs. Katie Aver against the Min nesota Mutual Benefit association, to re cover $2,500 on a policy issued to her husband, now dead, was begun. It ap pears that the company refused to pay the policy, alleging that it . had lapsed before Aver died. The policy was then purchased by Samuel Potts, ; ex-secretary of the association, who was recently tried ill the municipal court on a charge of embezzling money belonging to the company. The association now claims that it effected a settlement with Mrs. Aver before she sold the policy to Mr. Potts. _________ FRAUD IS CHARGED. Another Interesting Real Estate Suit Looms Up in Court. Carrie S. Carr has begun an action in the district court against Patterson, Dean & Co. and George . JB. Robert, Jr., and Charles A. Everhart, to - recover THE SAINT PA CI, I>AILY GLOBE: TBOi^iJAX MOENING, JANUARY 31, 1889. 53,200 on a real estate deal. The com plainant alleges that on May 5, 1888, she was the owner of land in New Lisbon, Wis. On that date the defendants came to her and made her an offer to ex change for her land some lots in Adams Street addition, which they said were worth $600 or $700 per lot. She believed their representations, and traded her land for the property. Now the com plainant alleges that the defe_da_,ts en tered into ft conspiracy to defraud her, as she was given a deed to land lying quite a distance from that which was shown to her; in another county, in fact, and that the land was worth not one-half of what the defendants claimed. ALL PLEADED GUILTY. Prisoners Brought Before Judge Lochren and Sentenced for Crimes. All the prisoners arraigned in the criminal court yesterday seemed im pressed with the idea that it was easier to plead guilty than to stand a trial and probably be found guilty any way. At least it looked that way, as four men admitted their guilt. William Conners, the colored man charged with stealing a harness rom E. L. Coe, was the first victim. He was given a sentence of one year and six months at Stillwater. Peter Sitterly and Frank Lane, indicted for grand larceny in the second degree, came next. Lane got one year, and Sitterly will remain in the county jail for three months. Robert Elmer and Charles Anderson, found guilty of steal ing car brasses from the Manitoba road, were given three months and sixty days in the county jail respectively. A DUG BIT HER. [. Mary Farrell Begins Suit Against John Marty for $10,000 Dam ages. Perhaps after this the owners of some of the vicious dogs owned in Minne apolis will have them chained up or killed. In the district court yesterday morning Mary Farrell. by Andrew P. Farrell, her guardian, began an action against John Marty to. recover 110,000 damages received by being bitten by an ugly dog owned by the defendant. In her compiaint she states that on Dec. 8, 1880. she was attacked by the dog and badly torn and disfigured about the face and body. PLENTY OF TH EM.

Boyd & Co., who conducted the milli nery store of Madame Boyd on Nicollet avenue, which gives Edward A. Morri son and Goodwin, Cassidy & Co., of New York, and Walter Gyn and A. Moran & Co., of Paris, whose claims amounted to $12,000 posession of the assets, which aggregate $9,000, with out filing releases. These creditors made application through M. P. Hayne as attorney to share in the distribution of the estate without filing releases, upon the ground that the assignors had fraudulently canceled and disposed of a portion of their assets. The court finds the allegations of the complaint to be true, and orders accordingly. A Sensational Case. What promises to be a sensational di vorce suit was begun in the district court yesterday morning when Gilbert F. Baker filed a petition for a divorce from Annie P. Baker, whom he married at Canton, N. V., Feb- 9, 1878. In his complaint Baker alleges that in July, 1885, his wife was intimate with one Reuben Tait, at a place called Shetlee Cottage, near Canton. A few weeks later he found her in a compromising position with one Lester Crandall, of Canton. Baker wants a complete di vorce and the custody of the child, a little gill. . $1,000 for Six Months. The rotund and genial Tommy Moore was before the council committee on license yesterday to make application for a license to run a bar at the Hotel Brunswick, Hennepin avenue and Fourth street, beginning from Jan. 1. The committee thought it had no right to grant a license for a fractional part of a year,- and that if a license were granted it must be dated from June last. The matter was referred to the city at torney for his opinion. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. Six building permits amounting to 53.275 were issued yesterday. Yesterday's bank clearances were $475, --942.48.

John West, of the workhouse, was presented Tuesday evening with a diamond ring by his subordinates. A few days ago a sneak thief tried to de part unnoticed with a poeketbook containing $117, the property of Brickey, the Nicollet house news agent. The council committee on streets, grades and additions approved the plat of Menage's Sixth addition yesterday afternoon.

"You see, there is no apartment for them and we have to turn them right in with the toughest men we have and every time a young boy is put in here I can't help but notice that he gets worse and worse. The last grand jury turned out a number of boys who have been here since last September. I have now put the boys in the cit&side of the jail with the men confined for thirty and sixty days, and it isn't so bad there, but it's bad enough; it's bound to be a training school for crime in the pres ent condition of the jail. Of course, too, the law that makes it possible to send boys, and men, too, for that mat ter, here on the slightest sus picion makes it all the worse. There are lots of innocent fel lows sent here. There are two boys in there now, if you want to see them. Tne youngest is thirteen and the other fifteen; there are others sixteen and seventeen years old who could teach old men crime. They could tell you or I lots of things we never dreamed of, if we have seen' a good deal, and they took their first lessons, lots of them, right here in this jail." - Going into the jail the first view was the main part of the jail to the left.. There behind double-barred grates were men who wore penitentiary coun tenances, and these fellows, up to a few days ago, have been the educators of dozens' of little fellows who have been turned in with them, many of them on their first offense. Here was where Tim and Pete Barrett have been confined up to day before yesterday. After a glance at the grim-faced, scantily clothed fel lows, Ihe reporter walked back to the city side of the jail. Here the boys and * some of the older men crowded around the grate, as the Globe man leaned up against -it to talk to Willie Klifford. a tiny shaver of thirteen, with a bright, not bad-looking face. A half dozen young fellows, from sixteen to twenty, ; formed a background, and the older men stood a little way in the rear. v "Billy, what are you in for?" asked the reporter, but Billy was onto the newspaper racket, and, with a grimace, shied off across the cell. r: "Haven't cot any cigarettes about your clothes,' have yer?',' asked one of the young toughs inside, and this furn ished a clue to the way to reach Bill's heart and loosen his tongue. Securing a package of the desired articles, and learning that young Klifford was await ing trial for robbing a lady of $8 at Eden Prairie, the reporter returned to the gate. Slipping the cigarettes into the little fellow's hand, he began again: nPfgSNi "How did you come to rob that lady, Billy?" "I didn't rob her? They just say I did. 1 ain't had my trial yet, you know," he answered. "You're onto the law points, aren't you?" "They can't prove I stole it; no body saw me." "Where was it?" "Up to Eden Prairie." "Do you live there?" "No, sir. I live on Twenty-third street. Iliad just been down to see grandma. Say, mister, I don't like these' things. I never tried to smoke till I came here, and they make me sick." "All right, you give them to the other boys and I'll get you something else." "This little fellow oughn't to be in here with us rough devils. He isn't a bad boy at all. It's the first time he ever did anything wrong. He told me he didn't know what made him do it. He don't swear, nor smoke, nor nothin'; but he's learnin' fast enough here," said an old-timer. < "I saw your father out here, Billy.. What sort of a man is he?" "Oh, he's all right. You're sure it was him? Kind of nice-looking man, with whiskers an' mustache ana slouch hat? That's him. I want to see him," said the little fellow, the tears filling his eyes. "He has been writin' a letter to him this morning," said his rough protector, his hand on his shoulder. Billy tried hard to brace up, and be tough like the others, but it was no use. He wouldn't talk much more, but said he would like very much to go home, and that he had been in there two weeks, and it was awful bad. Johnny Martin is in for breaking into a shoe store. On questioning him he scowled back with : "Oh h— 1, I got one roast," and the cigarettes wouldn't soften him a bit. He is but fifteen but can put on as bold a face as any of them. "The action by the board of trade in this matter at their meeting Monday authorized P. D. McMillen, Daniel Fish and H. G. O. Morrison as a committee, to draw up a bill to be introduced in the legislature putting the power in the hands of the municipal judges to act on all city cases without making accused persons lie in jail with convicted crim inals to await the action of the grand jury. There is a decided sentiment among the members of the board that something must be done. President J. P. Wymaii on being interviewed in re gard to it. last evening, said: "When the grand jury met the 4th of January we found in the county jail boys under sixteen years of age who had lain there since last September ; awaiting our action. We learned on in quiry that the municipal court does not have jurisdiction in certain cases of misdemeanor, for instance burglary. A boy tries to steal some little article, and the person offended happens to be particularly severe, he makes the charge ' of burglary and the court has to bind them over to the grand jury and he has to await the next session. It may be in one week or it may be three months, unless he gets bail. In most such cases he is an orphan, or worse, and has to go to jail. We found five boys in the jail from nine to thirteen, arrested for trying to steal marbles. They didn't succeed in getting the marbles but were sent to the grand jury because the charge was burglary. They lay there confined with Tim and Pete Barrett, and for all I know a good ' deal worse men, the hardest criminals in the county. In all, we found there at our last session, fourteen boys under sixteen years of age and with the maj ority of them their we found no case against them at all. What the legisla ture ought to do is to give the muni cipal court jurisdiction over all cases of misdemeanor; thus enabling them to take final action. In some cases, they must be confined. There should be a separate compartment for them. Some thing must be done. In the words of P. D. McMillan, it is a regular kinder ga rden for crime Another Company. Articles incorporating the Amer ican Freehold and Security company were filed in the office of the register of deeds yesterday by George M. Bennett, ' ; Franses S. McDonald and '. George . H. * Warner. The company will have a capital . stock of $150,000, divided into :' shares of $50 each, and will do a general real estate business. ' •• AMUSEMENTS.

Habie and Morrill Speak Upon a Congenial Topic. MINNEAPOLIS ORANGEMEN The Catholic Church Denounced as Op posed to Education and Liberty. The Eighth ward relief hall was crowded last night at the open meet ing of the Minneapolis lodge of the Loyal Orange league, where Rev. G. L. Morrill and Rev. Dr. Mabie were adver tised to deliver addresses. After the opening of the lodge meet ing and some remarks by the officers, Rev. Morrill took the stand and spoke for some time, denouncing the Catholic religion as a fraud and a men ace to our government and free institu tions, and as little better than idolatry. His remarks were much the same that he has made in his sermons and ad dresses before. . Rev. Dr. Mabie, who has also become somewhat notorious by reason of his denunciations of Catholicism, succeeded Mr.Morrill. The early part of his address was tame and dealt largely with matters heretofore treated o: in his published addresses. Toward the close of his re marks he referred to the late incident of a cardinal in the lower Canadian provinces, who demanded that a throne should be erected for him in the nail of parliament. Mr. Mabie condemned such an assumption of temporal power and expressed extreme disgust at the obse quious servility of the premier who granted the request. ■- In speaking of the claims which are made for the Catholic church as an edu cator and disseminator of knowledge, he called attention to the fact that in all the distinctively Catholic countries Italy, Spain, Portugal and Mexico— from 73 to 90 per cent of the population can neither read nor write, and that the per cent is greatest in Italy, where Ro manism has held undisputed sway for sixteen centuries. He urged upon the people of America the necessity of defending even with their lives, if necessary, '•our govern ment and our free institutions from being overcome and , sacrificed to the thirst of. bishops and cardinals for temporal power." The fight he said must be made along all the lines of civil power in the governments of the city, state ond nation. "Thinking men. and the progress of events have passed it," said he, refer ring to Romanism. "In the countries of the old world it is a dead memory, a thing hoarded up in museums in the form of relics, of dead men's bones, of musty documents and the smell of death. It is not from the strength of the Catholic church that I fear, but from weakness, the avarice and the treachery of Prot estant people that I fear harm to our countiy." Dr. Maben said that the greatest ' bat tle the Irish people have got to fight in their struggle for home rule and pros perity is the overcoming of priestcraft, superstition and the wiles of an Italian prince. COURT HOUSE GLEANINGS. The arguments in the Layman will case began yesterday and will be con cluded to-day. The Red River Valley National bank, of Fargo, has begun an action against Harry L.
