Joe Mannix is becoming one of the leading thinkers of tne day, and will soon rival Judge Isaac Atwater and J. B. Basset in his unselfish devotion to public affairs. One of the most weirdly beautiful sights ever observed on the streets of Minneapolis was a back view of Loren Fletcher and Andrew McGill strolling along Second avenue south, toward the river, Monday afternoon. As they moved they softly murmured "We are birdies of a feather." Charles 11. Hoyt is not responsible for the horse play at the Grand this week . K. (i. Eavns will not be solicitor of the treasury.

Which are very numerous northward toward Shingle creek, by a flank move ment it surrounded Vincent Reeves and brought him into the council, whiskers and all, by a small plurality. A year later Mr. Reeves had the mis fortune to be tied for re-election with a man named Schwartz, but drew the prize on the recount, and is now yours for reform until '93. Mr. Reeves is one of three Englishmen who adorn the council, and whose eccentric groupine of H's give color and tone to the clerk's official reports. As an alderman he is quiet and observant, and refrains from "explaining my vote." SNIVEL SERVICE REFORM. The wave of liarrisonjan service re form is soon to carry Dan Ahem, super intendent of mails, out of the postoffice. The pretext is made that this position is hereafter to be controlled by the sup erintendent of railway postal service, and that the appointee is to be from that department If there is any truth in this assertion, H. C. Par liu, who has been head clerk of the Chicago and Minneapolis branch of the railway postal service on the Mil waukee road, will probably get the ap pointment. It is generally thought this is but a subterfuge, however, and ex-Aid. Muldoon and Aid. Jay Phillips are making a hustle for the place. Mr. Ahem lias filled the place capably, and the only fault found with him is that he is a Democrat. He will take with him the friendship of all in his department, and as he has had several advantageous business offers, probably does not grieve much over his departure. One curious thing about this particular wave of civil serv ice reform is that it removes Demo cratic superintendents of mails at Min neapolis and Chicago, and leaves Re publican superintendents untouched at _t. Paul and Milwaukee. CASUAL MARKS. Aid. McGavan— lt looks very much to me as though Mayor Babb was playing into the hands of the street car company instead of representing the people. T. 11. Lucas— lt is amusing to hear the papers talk about walking delegates. There has not been a walking delegate in the city for two years and a half. Frank Bruen— At Tacoma they are platting timber land two miles from town into twenty-five-foot lots, and are holding them at figures that would be considered high here for residence lots in good locations. K. Kortgaard, Cashier State Bank — Certainly, it took a lot of nerve for our boyes to face the revolvers of the would-be robbers and murderers, but we stood it manfully, and are entitled to a medal, anyhow. I am glad that we are all alive, and that the stolen money was recovered. MUSICAL AND SOCIAL.

Gleason returned yester day morning from Dakota, where he went to investigate the loss and suffer ing caused by the recent prairie fires the c. He says that as a whole the ac counts have been exaggerated, hut that in regard to some locations the half has not been told. The burnt district lies along the east bank of the Missouri river, from McPherson county on the north, to Yankton and Clay counties on the south, and covers a belt about two counties wide. The reverend gentle man states that not more than twenty live persons in all lost their lives. A large number of those who suffered from the ravages of the flames have be come disgusted, and left the state. Lumber, seed grain and agricultural implements are wanted more than any thing else. WILL THEHVER GO? Not a Street Car Was Moved an Inch in Minneapolis Yesterday. Rumors About That Cars Will Begin Regular Trips This Morning". Hennepin Legislators Refuse to Accept Suggestions of Workingmen. An Evening Meeting at Which Lowry and Mayor Babb Are Roasted. The street car strike at Minneapolis is becoming an enigma. Just why no effort was made to start the cars yester day, as President Lowry has claimed he had plenty ol drivers, no one could tell. The streets were quiet, and the police force has certainly had plenty of time to prepare to furnish protection. Special police have been sworn in al most by the hundred, and the mili tia has been kept in waiting. Aid. McGowan, Farnsworth, Brue shaber, Swanson, Gray, Vander warker and Ingenhutt called on Mayor Baob with a petition, asking him to call a special meeting of the council. They told him that the public was suffering a serious inconvenience, and it was time that some action should be takenr Mayor Babb, however, re fused to call a meeting, and gave as his excuse that he could not furnish protec tion to the company. One alderman in timated that, he did not seem to be acting for the public, and as mayor of the city, but was standing in with the company, which has not the men to fill the strikers' places, and will be obliged to send outside the city for them. Argu ment was of no use, and the aldermen [ ; left, not overburdened with respect for j I 11,.* ,>,n../^,-^. nmol- n „,l ,1i1.,4n..,T ,-.r,1*«.7 in- niu\ot b ivciih unit uiiutuiy puiiuy. While among the police, however, and on the streets, it is thought the attempt ' will be made to-day, the aldermen got the impression from the mayor that no effort will be made, perhaps, for several days. DO THEY MEAN IT? Report That Cars Will Be Started This Morning. At last the end, or the beginning, of the great strike on the Minneapolis Street Bail way company is in sight. This morning at 6 o'clock the company will make an endeavor to start the cars on every line in the city and run motor trains on regular time. Whether the experiment will be a success or not re mains to be seen. On the one hand the laboring men of Minneapolis realize forcibly that if they are beaten in this strike, in which they are sustained by popular sentiment, the days of union organizations are over in Minneapolis, and that in the future they need expect nothing at the hands of the great cor porations. On the other hand is the street car company, headed by Thomas Lowry, battling against organized labor. If the strikers are suc cessful, it means that the labor organizations will, to some ex tent, control matters in Minneapolis; and no one realizes this more than the gentlemen who are interested in the street car company. For that very rea son, the struggle is to be a hard one, and can only end in the utter and en tire defeat of one side or the other, since Mr. Lowry has declared that he will not arbitrate, and the strikers will not sign the "iron-bound contract," and return to work at the wanes ottered by the company. That is the situation, and the dawn of Wednesday is viewed with concern, to say the least. After a long and exceedingly tiresome wait, which has been fraught with tiresome suspense, a plan of action has been de cided on, and to-day will determine the victors. After consultation and confer ence with the mayor and the superin tendent of police, the street car com pany has decided to run cars to-day, and will start them out at 0 o'clock this morning. The militia of the city has been notified to be in readiness to answer to a call, in case the police force is found inade quate to handle the crowds. There are now nearly 100 special men on duty on the outlying beats, and nearly every regular officer on the entire force is ready for action. It is more than proba ble that there will be trouble, and the police realize it fully. All day yester day the various gun stores about the city did an immense business in ttee sale of revolvers. The purchasers were not strikers, nor were they policemen, but men who are looking for trouble, and mean to bring on a conflict between the police and the masses, if such a thing be possible. MORE MEN GO OUT. The Shop Men Refuse to Take Out Cars and Quit. The company was confronted with a new difficulty yesterday morning, and that was the going out of all the men employed in the shops. About 9:30 Mr. Goodrich went around among the men and informed them that, were they called upon to do so, they would be obliged to take out cars. He informed the men that this action was necessary because so many of the new men— the "scabs"— had left. The shop men de murred to this order, and were told that they would be required to obey or quit. This decided it, and every man went out. followed a few moments later by the blacksmiths and the painters and one or two of the oflice men. THE CITY TO. BLAME. The Company Says It Has Been Willing to Run Cars. "We are ready to run the cars at any time that the city will let us," said Mr. Goodrich yesterday morning when asked tor information. "We have not yet had the word to go, aud when we get it we will run our cars." Mayor Babb, when asked if the com pany had been waiting for word from the city authorities to go ahead, replied that such was the case. "You see.** said he, "the street car com pany has desired to run the cars all along, but we could uot promise them police pro tection. You see our police force is very small, and it takes some time to cet the new men stationed and accustomed to attend to their duties. We don't want them to start the cars again until they can run them. The company was very anxious to start the cars Monday, but I knew that if there was any such crowd on the street as there was Satur day, even though it was good-natured, our police force would be too small, and then there might be a riot. I cannot tell when the cars will start, aud even if I did know I would say nothing." LOWRY TELLS A STORY, In Which He Compares Himself to a Prudish Young Girl. Thomas Lowry still preserves his composure to a remarkable degree, and treats the reporters who call in the same princely manner that has always been one of his characteristics. But as for his giving out any information, that is another thing, and the newsgatherer who gets an item from the tall gentle man with the smooth voice and Roscoe Conkling face may consider himself in great luck. The Globe reporter who called on him yesterday was well re ceived, and finally mustered up courage enough to ask: "Mr. Lowry. when do you intend to run the street cars*" ' Mr. Lowry smiled, and then re marked: "My friend, that reminds me of a little story which 1 will tell you. Once there was THE SAINT PAUL DAILY" GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 1889. young lady who made a claim that no man had ever kissed her, or ever would until she was engaged. A youngman finally proposed to her, and to his great delight she accepted him. When he kissed her be found that one of her teeth projected a trifle, and inflicted a slight cut on one of his lips. *' 'Why in. the world, Nellie, darling, 1 he ex claimed, 'don't you have that fixed?' 'You can't imagine his feelings when the young lady, who had said no one had ever kissed her" before, replied: " 'If one man has asked me that question, 500 men have, and I am getting tired of It.' "Now, that is just the position lam in. If I know when * the cars would start Ido not believe 1 would tell you. for it would not be good policy. You can say that they will move when we get ready to move them." NO ACTION YET. The Aldermen Will Not Interfere as Yet. The aldermen who happened to be about the city hall yesterday spent con siderable time in discussing the pro priety of some official action of the council regarding the strike, and finally Aid. Vandewaker, Gray, Brueshaber, Swanson, McGowan, Farnsworth and Ingenhult signed a petition to the mayor requesting him to call an extra session of the council for this morning to take action in the matter. Aid. Beadish, Potter and Downs, who thought such a move unnecessary, met with the friends of the measure and Mayor Babb to dis cuss its advisibility, and it was finally decided to call no meeting, but leave the matter entirely in the hands of his honor, the mayor. THE STRIKERS' REQUEST. They ask the Hennepin Delega tion to Do Them a Favor. Four members of the Hennepin dele gation, last evening, met J. W. Arc tander and a delegation from the street car drivers' union, of Minneapolis. Mr. Arctander, for the drivers, stated the status of the strike, and the arbitrary course being pursued by the street car company. He asked the Hennepin del egation to introduce a bill giving Min neapolis the necessary authority to pur chase the plant of the car company. The delegation replied that this was im possible. Minneapolis was already up to her 5 per cent limitation of bonded indebtedness, and available funds were lacking for such a purchase. Mr. Arc tander then withdrew, stating that he would go before the common council and ask it to solicit the delegation to pass such a bill. • THE EVENING MEETING. There Were Speeches Roasting Tom Lowry and Mayor Babb. There was a large meeting of the striking employes at the Labor Temple last night, when a number of speeches were made roasting Mr. Lowry as the enemy of organized labor and the foe of all workingmen. Mayor Babb was touched up in a somewhat lively manner for issuing his "famous and entirely uncalled-for" proclama tion. The speakers were Judge Welch. Miss Eva McDonald, Thomas Lucas and 11. M. Martin. The last named stated that he had seen the gov ernor in relation to presenting the Arctander resolution, but nothing defi nite had been decided on. He further stated that he intended to see the alder men in regard to holding a special meeting to-day. FOR GOLD AND GLORY. Minneapolis Gun Club Tourna ment To-Morrow. The Minneapolis Gun club sweep stakes tournament will be held at the club grounds, Thirty-Eighth street and Bloom. ngtou avenue, to-morrow begin ning at 9:30 o'clock. Trains leave Washington avenue for the club grounds at 7:40, 9:00, 10:20, 11:40 a. m. and 1:00, 2:20 and 3:40 p. m. There will be three shoots in the fore noon and four in the afternoon. Shoot No. b* will be for the club badge, at ten single birds and five pairs, and Shoot No. 7 for the Tribune badge, at nine singles and three pairs. All moneys are to be divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 pet cent. THE SUMMIT OF SUCCESS. One of the Young Business Men of Minneapolis Who May Be Said to Have Reached It. The subject of this sketch is just now the proudest man in Minnesota. And he may well be. as any one will readily admit who gazes upon the interior of the establishmen t at Eighth street and Fifth avenue south. F. L. Darrow & Co., on three floors, aggregating an acre of space, have now the largest, most magnificent collectien of vehicles ever seen in this section of the country. It is "one of the sights" of the city. Fiank L. Darrow, the head of the con- cern, is but thirty-two years old; but during the latter half of that time he has accumulated several hundred thou sand dollars' worth- of experience, and has evidently retained a large percent age of the purchase price. Mr. Darrow came to Minneapolis eight years ago from Buffalo, N. V., where he was en gaged in his present line of business. He is a special partner in the firm of Henry Hooker & Co., New Haven, Conn., one of the heaviest carriage man ufacturing firms in the East. A SMOOTH CITIZEN. E. H. Day Victimizes Some Minne apolis People. E. H. Day, the St. Louis syrup drum mer, whose arrest on a charge of forgery was mentioned in yesterday's Globe, seems to have had quite an eventful career in the Northwest. He stayed some days in the latter part of Marcii at the Hotel Warwick, where he paid his bill with a check which was afterwards learned to be a forgery. He sold from samples which he carried, some syrups to C. S. Brackett, the Fifth street grocer. Brackett gave him a check for the amount, and after pro ducing a letter authorizing him so to do, he endorsed the paper in the company's name and got the grocer to cash it. Later it was discovered that he had swindled both parties, and Mr. Dow, proprietor of the Warwick, followed him to St. Paul and found that he had swindled several persons there. On Monday Mr. Dow met Day and got him to go to the hotel where he was ar rested by Detectives Lawrence and Hall. He will be sent to St. Paul, where there are several counts against him. "THE PLAY" HOUSES." Tbe Journal Critic's Usual La ment Over the Degeneration of the Drama. "Equeseurrieulum," a name which suggests the work of a German word factory, was the title of the piece put on at the Grand Monday evening. The story is a powerful one, not unlike in dramatic trend Victorien Sardou's "Last Cast, or Horse and Horse," which the great French master has acknowl edged was modeled on an earlier play of a forgotten dramatist, entitled, - "The Sawbuck." Some of the scenes are admirable in their beauty and suggestiveness,indi cating that the gentieman who curried the Eques was well up in his curricu lum. Of course there were grave faults in the composition, an utter ab sence of plot at times that was puzzling. The presentation, too, might have been better. Members of the company came on and stood about the stage,seemingly hav ing nothing to say or do, and then, with a sort ot horse laugh, made their exit. , At other times they grouped themselves 1 in the most inartistic man ner in stiff rows across the stage, spoiling the entire situation. Gen. Sherman acquitted himself credit ably and share the honors of the even ing with Peck's bad boy, whose juvenile' work was admirable, though it was evident he was not in his element. The ,: balance of the cast was only fair. DOORS STILL LOCKED. May Templeton's Divorce Case Occupies Another Day at Court. Women were at the court house yes terday, flitting about the halls, stand ing in the big court room, which was vacant, and looking with wondering eyes about, waiting in the ante room to the criminal court, resting in Judge Rea's private room, most of them good looking, modest, well-dressed women, and their business all seemed to be be yond the locked doors of the criminal • court room, : behind which was being heard the divorce case of Jennie Wel don against her husband. . This was the second day of the trial, and the wit nesses, who ou the whole, were very shy of reporters, said they thought all the evidence would be in by evening. Five o'clock, time for adjourning, came * and still the door was locked. At about half-past five the doors were opened and Mrs. Jennie Weldon, accom panied by another lady, came laughingly out of the court room with as much seeming eayety as she could have borne in her happiest presentation as May Templeton during her years on the stage. A tall gentle man of color met them in the court room without, and was admonished to be sure aud be on hand at 10 in the morning. The case is to go on again to-day— probably all day. New evi dence will be brought in, and the judge will in all liklihood find much difficulty in coming to a conclusion. DISTRICT COUI'.T BRIEFS. The case of Gross &Co. against David Nary for their commission in a real es tate deal was before Judge Hooker yes terday. The jury came in with a ver dict of $150 for the plaintiff. Lars Pearson has brought two sepa rate actions against Maggie L. Freeburg et al., for $140 and 1285 claimed for ma terial and labor which he has done. Hackett and Kennedy's cases, on the charge of assaulting Officer McLaugh lin, have been postponed until May 6, owing to absence ot witnesses for the defense. MINOR OFFENDERS. A Few of the Cases That Came Before Judge Emery. Clara Higgins and Rosa Ripley are two ladies who reside in opposite flats in a block on Sixth street and cannot agree as to how things should be con ducted in the corridor. There seems to have been a great deal of catch-as-catch can wrestling and much more mouth fighting going on between the dear girls for some time past, and yesterday Rosa had Clara brought into court charged with assault anil battery. Both women told their stories and then the judge decided that the matter had best be settled without his interference, and the two went away, no nearer . to being conciliated than before. Carrie Eline and Nellie McGarfey in sulted the dignity of the law by getting a little high spirited at a saloon on South Washington avenue and were sent to the dry precinct at Shingle Creek for a thirty-days sojourn. Charles Carlson paid $25 yesterday for having engaged in a prize ring scrap with Charles Anderson in a south town saloon. Anderson and Carlson had a disagreement over one's opinion of the other's pool playing, and used their fists, feet and billiard cues in the argu ment. The cases of the two special police men, who assaulted a striker named C. S. Reynolds a*; the motor junction, were continued till to-day. The state asked for a continuance also in the case of Charles Lurpby, the old winemaker, charged with selling without a license. INTO THE RIVER. The Dislocated Tale Told by Adam Gwinn. Adam Gwinn, a former employe of the Occidental Mill company, furnished a startling sensation for an unreliable evening paper by telling how two men met him on the street at midnight Mon day, took him to the mill, removed the office key from his pocket, entered and attempted to crack the safe. Failing in this they took him to the river and dumped him in. He swam ashore while they amused themselves by tiring at him with their revolvers. People who are acquainted with Gwinn think his imagination was overwrought by reason of much exhilaration. AMUSEMENTS. The W. C. Coup Eqneseurriculum and Prof. Buckley's trained horses drew an increased audience at the Grand last night, notwithstanding the slight rain storm. Theater-goers should bear in mind that the horses are wonderfully, trained and that the show is a decided novelty. There is a matinee to-day. ; * Dockstader's minstrels will open l their engagement at the Grand Thurs- day. The comedians of the company are without equal, and the choral part of the minstrels without parallel on the minstrel stage. A wrestling match between Evan Lewis, the Strangler, and Lucian Christol. Lewis to throw Christol five times in twenty minutes, occurs at the Theater Comique this eveniug in ad dition to the usual vaudeville perform ance. Seats are selling rapidly for Miss Davenport's "La Tosca" engagement at the Grand opera house for the first half of next week, and the prospects are that Miss Davenport will test the capacity of the theater at each per formance. She is one of the most popular actresses that visits Minne apolis, and in "La Tosca" she has secured a play which is just now the very center of interest in the theatrical world. Every one desiring to keep pace with the history of the stage will want to see Sardou's latest play, and, if report elsewhere count fors aught, they will see in Miss Davenport's impersona tion the very greatest work of her dramatic career. The Chicago press united in saying that in this role she has fairly won a place among the great tragediennes of our time. >*n The grand painting, Jerusalem on the* ; Day of the Crucifixion, will be reopened : to public view on Good Friday, the an niversary of the scene of universal his toric interest, which it so graphically and powerfully portrays. The paint ing, which all who saw it last summer, unite in saying is one of the most beau ful ever put on canvass, has beeu re touched at some points by an artist, and the opening will be made with the usual explanatory lectures by a clergyman who has prepared himself to point out the places of special historic interest in and about the holy city, as seen in the picture. ____■ ? m General Manager Byron, of the ex position, said yesterday that arrange- 1 ments were being made for a gorgeous and attractive display of Florida's pro ducts at the coming show. . i j ONE HUNDRED YEARS. Erasmus Cannon Died at the Age of One Hundred and One Years. The only known centenarian in Min neapolis was hurried Monday afternoon at Maple Hill cemetery, having died on Saturday, his one hundred and first birthday. He was a colored man named Erasmus Cannon, and had lived in Minneapolis twenty-six years, having come here iff 1863,' when he first became a free man. He was born a slave in "Ole Virginy," and lived there until his liberation during the war, when he came North and drifted to Minneapolis. Eight of his children survive him and he leaves twenty-one grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, while fully as many of his numerous descendants are dead. The old man has resided for years at 518 Princes street, northeast. IS IT A MIS-STEAK? Price of Heat Raised Because of the Meat Inspection Bill. . VIEWS OF LOCAL DEALERS. Porterhouse Will Cost More, but Com mon Meats Are Unchanged f - Thus Far. • The recent passage of the "cattle bill." providing that all cattle to be slaughtered and offered for sale in Min nesota markets must be inspected on the hoof by a local inspector within 24 hours before being killed, has settled for the time being the importation of deceased meat from Chicago, Kansas City and other points to Minneapolis, as well as to other places in the state. Heretofore the local meat men have been receiving from 90 to 110 carloads of dressed meat per week, from outside points. This meat consisted mainly of the choicer portions of the animal, there being plenty of the common grade to be obtained here in Minneapolis. Already has the passage of the bill, which is now only waiting for the gov ernor's signature to become a law, in creased the price of meat in certain quarters, and from all appearances it is probable that the higher price will be kept up on the choicer meats, such as loins, porterhouse and first rib roasts. The price of the common grade of meats will uot be raised to any extent except, perhaps, under the ordinary fluctua tions of the market. Of course, at some of the shops in the city the prices have already been raised, but it is held by the larger meat dealers that these prices will only be maintained for a short time, except on the better grades. Mhe dealers in the center or' the city, whose trade is largely in the better quality of meats, are not particularly elated over the passage of the bill, as it prevents them from obtaining the kind of meat they want from -outside markets, ana forces them to charge a higher price for that which they ob tain from the home markets, thus cut ting down their trade. On the other hand, the dealers on the outside, that is. the outlying portions of the city. whose trade is mainly in the common grades of meat, hold that the bill is a good thing, and claim that it will help their business in a variety of ways. There is a considerable difference of opinion in regard to the bill, and, it is probable that the law will have to be in force for some time before anything definite can be said in regard to it. While many of the smaller dealers have raised the prices of meat, the large dealers have not done so, and the pro prietors claim that such a thing will not be necessary, at present, at least. The following interviews with some of the leading meat dealers in Minneap olis, give a very good idea of the situa tion as it stands at the present time: Col. James Chant lt does not strike me that the bill is going to help farmers to get better nrices for their cattle to any great extent, although it may do so in the long run. As matters stand now the demand for the finer meats greatly - exceeds the demand for the common grades, and to meet this demand we have what meats we want and can not well obtain here sent in from outside markets. Now that we are prevented from getting this meat Irom outside markets, I see no way out of the diffi culty but to raise the price of the choicer meats, such as first rib roasts, loins and porterhouse, and by that means get people to using more com mon meats. In a beef there are about thirty or thirty-five pounds of the choicer meats, so you can see that to supply the demand a large number of cattle must be killed. This leaves more meat of the common grade on our hands than we can use, and in order to get around this we must induce people to buy more common meat or else have a meat canning factory start ed here. Ido not look for an advance of any note in the price of the ordinary meat. Of course it may raise a cent or two, but the only material advance there will be in the choicer cuts. I see no reason why the passage of this bill should affect the price of meat sold by the dealers on the outskirts of the city. They do not have a large demand for anything but the common grade of meats, and the dealers can obtain plenty of that right here at home at any time. J. H. Davis— bill will have the effect of making dealers raise on cer tain kinds of meat, the choicer cuts, for instance. The local meat men have been receiving some 100 cais of meat a week from outside markets. This meat has generally been of the best grade, as plenty of ordinary meat could be ob tained here at any and all times. If we have got to kill our own animals here after, we must find some means of dis posing of the common grade of meat, and to this end we have to charge more for the choicer grades. This will com pel people to eat more of that grade and less of the other. Another effect of the bill will be to force onto the public a poorer grade of meat, for it stands to reason that we cannot raise as good cat- tie here as they can in the regular cat tle- raising states. If many live cattle have to be brought here from other places to be inspected and slaughtered, the consumer will, of course, have to pay the increased freight over that charged for dressed meat. Minneapolis Provision Company — As far as we are concerned it will not raise the price of our meats. We can get all the meat we want right here in the state, and we see no good reason why prices should be raised. Some dealers always jump at the slightest chance to raise prices, however. The restaurant men are evidently ex pecting a big raise in the price of meats of all kinds, as yesterday nearly all of them made an increase in the price of meals, five cents for a single meal and 50 cents on the meal ticket. THE ELDER'S WEEKLY. He Wants $23,000 More Tribune Money — Other Matters at Court. Levi M. Stewart, in this week's libel suit against the Tribune demands the customary §25,000. This is No. 11 in the series, and the amount now aggre gates 8435,000. Alden J, Blethen seems still the party at whom Mr. Stewart is aiming, lor after repeating the aiticle to which he objects, which was printed April 17. 1857, the complaint repeats a part of au article of Mr. Stewart's as follows: "Mr. Blethen also says that I have never added a dime to the value of the place where I live nor to the value of the city. Yet he has made countless spread-eagle splurges in regard to our city parks", and declared that the park commissioners, by the selection of the lands for parks, had increased the value of the city over $30,000,000. If that as sertion is correct, then I have certainly . benefitted and increased the value of jthe city several millions, for I have for many years furnished the city its most beautiful park and most picturesque and noted spot in it." j i 1 TO MEET IN MINNEAPOLIS.

The council committee on claims met yesterday and had fun with the usual - budget of bills. Margaret Flynn's i claim for damages for injuries received in a fall on an icy walk at 119 Nicollet avenue, was denied, and the committee I also refused to recommend the payment of §50 for medical, attendance claimed by Gust Johnson, who was injured while working on the sewer. \Y". S. < Hull's claim of $25 for damages to his carriage in a collision with Assistant Fire Chief Kenney's buggy was al lowed. The Drowning of Arthur Freeman. Several errors crept into the Globe's account of the drowning of a young boy i Saturday afternoon, in the river. The , accident occurred at the foot of. First avenue north. The boy's name was • Arthur Freeman, and he was eight-and one-half years old. He was found by his father, I. L. Freeman, at the point where he probably fell into the water from the log on which he had been playing. The funeral occurred Mon day afternoon from the family resi dence, 1 415 Washington avenue" north. He "Did" the Liverymen. Frank Smith, a young man who has contracted a very unpleasant habit of hiring teams for an hour or two and turning them loose to wander home after driving them for a whole day or night, and who was discharged after be ing tried Monday for an offense of that kind, was rearrested yesterday on a similar charge preferred by Butte, the liveryman on Second avenue north. He was convicted of cruelty to animals and remanded to await sentence. Capt, Brown Makes $30,500. The old theater Comique property has finally been sold by Capt. W. W.

Brown has secured a lease of the place, running for two years and three months, and at the expiration of that* time will go out of business. Fell Thirty Feet. A laborer named A. G.

THARALSOX'S GOOD FOR TUNE. He Wins the "Solberg Point" Suit. Mr. Andrew Tharalson, owner of the beautiful "Solberg Point" property at Excelsior, has just had the benefit of a free and successful defense of his prop erty against an action of ejectment in the district court, brought by the heirs of former owners. He was the fortu nate holder of Policy No. 1070 of the Minnesota Title Insurance Company, under the terms of which the company made the defense at its own cost and charge. Had he not been "wise in time," this litigation would have cost him a handsome sum. To be sure, this issue of the case does hot necessarily settle the matter, for the claimants may bring any number of actions ot the same kind. Mr. Tharalson, however, can feel at ease, because he has a twen ty-five-year policy, under which the company must defend him against all such litigation, while others similarly situated, but without title insurance", must make the defense at their own cost.

Shove, Secretary Millers' and Manufacturers' Mutual Insurance Company, City— Sir: On the night of April 8 a fire started in our shavings vault, located near our boilers, which was promptly arrested and controlled by the Grinuell automatic sprinklers, and we are very glad to express in this manner our entire satisfaction with the protection af forded us by this sprinkler system. And to those who may question the efficiency of this system for giving the same protection in winter as in summer, will say that we had not changed from the dry pipe or air system to the wet pine system. owing to the uncer- tainty of the weather and the liability of the pipes freezing up. and the liability of the pipes freezing up. The action of these sprinklers was as prompt and efficient as as though they had been upon the wet pipe system.
