10 MINNEAPOLIS. CURRENT COMMENT. City Attorney Russell, whose opinion upon legal matters affecting the city's interests are not always easily obtained, lias rushed into print with a two-column review of the proposed new city charter introduced by Representative ' Tripp in the legislature. As might be imagined. a man who held on to one office while lie ran for another docs not like the meas ure which he thinks will practically leg islate him out of '.office,- as under the proposed charter the city attorney will be appoidted by the mayor who is a Democrat, and not by the council, which happens to be .Republican, thanks to a disgraceful, gerrymander by the previous legislature. This may account for 'the tact that his review of the new charter is not made in a calm, dispassionate way, but carpine, hyper critical manner in which he takes ad vantage of even typographical errors to show 'up. what he claims were glaring inconsistencies. — I— The discussion which has been in vited of the various provisions of the charter will naturally do away with the seeming inconsistencies. Many of the proposed changes may be omitted, oth ers modified, as the result of candid consideration, but, at any rate, the Democrats should have the credit of submitting the matter for discussion, and have not followed the exam ple of their Republican prede cessors in railroading legislation which thwarted the will of the people and set aside the entire results almost of an election. Mr. Russell has, doubt less, round a good many errors in the rough draft of the new charter not as many as Ed A. Stevens found in the present charter, of which Mr. Russell speaks so reverently; but the question at issue is whether the administra tive power shall be taken from the council and placed in the hands of the mayor, who will then be the chief executive of the . city in fact as well as in name, and who can then be i airly held responsible to the peo ple foi his administration. This chief point of the question at issue is well presented by a communication from Mr. Tripp in another column, to which the attention of all who are interested in this important matter is called. — I— Representative Matt Gallagher said last evening, concerning the interview with ('. M. Foote, published in yesterday's Tiibune: "If C. M. Foote made the statement credited to him in yesterday's Tribune, to the effect that the trouble is that we , have a number of young in ambers with out previous legislative training who want to crow loud in order to attract at tention, 1 am not surprised that the Tribune should abuse myself and other members of the delegation, as the Tribune's motive in defending Mr. ' Ltiwry's interests is ■ well known. 1 am, however, surprised that Mr. Foote should make such an un fair remark. There is to be a meeting of the Hennepin and Ramsey delega tions in the house of representatives, at St.Paul,on Monday night. to consider the street railway legislation, to which Mr. Foote and his colleague, the editor of the Tribune, are cordially invited. If they have any mud to throw there is the place to dump it. 'The young members without any previous legislative train ing' will be' there to meet them and de fend the position they have taken." "The poor are always with us," so is the garbage question. It has already lingered too long, longer than seems necessary. It began to agitate what passes' for mind in the skuil of the mu nicipal solon some two years or more ago. It is now no further on the road to solution than before. The late health commissioner showed commendable public spirit by the manner in which he took up this vital question and gave to it thought and study. His efforts toward its solution seemed, to the public, to have been fraught With success. Through him several propositions, any one of which was practicable* and effi cient, were proposed to the city. Some were indorsed and ordered carried out; none were ever completed. The last one offered by him was for the trans portation of all garbage and night soil to Brooklyn township, and their utiliza tion there as fertilizing mate rial. That proposition was hailed as a solution of the vexatious question. On the face of it it looked like a good scheme. It was ordered carried out. Then a new health board came into existence, and the Brooklyn proposition was dropped. It has never come up again. Why ? Nobody knows. Anyhow, new propositions are being considered. If none of the propositions indorsed by the public and by v the pub lic's representatives and ordered con summated, shouldn't some reason be offered for their abandonment? ALL SORTS. While Andy McGHI was resting by his own fireside in St. Anthony Park, an interview with him was never con sidered worth more than "two sticks" by the editors of his own party organs. From Washington, he speaks by the column. It is the old story of the prophet and honor. This appeared in the columns of a local paper: V An interesting account of how King Kala kaua run his government is given iii the Sun day Tribune. Lars M. Rand's criticisms of Minne apolis newspaper English wojuld be thereby indorsed, were the journal in question considered a newspaper. An evening paper calls Agnes Hunt ington a patron of the arts. Is this an insinuation that the statnesque Agnes paints? The Evening Tribune publishes some verselets telling how the snowbirds come to tell about the storms. Can the Trib. prove it? Isn't this a libel on Minnesota weather? . - Jack Walters, the Fish alley thief, ar rested yesterday by Detective Law rence, is said to be a "scaly citizen." The poultry exhibition is over, and the energetic punsters of the local pa pers have never once suggested that base ball enthusiasts didn't patronizl it. because there were too many fow tips. The headline "Random Reflections," over the Tribune's new local gossip col umn, is peculiarly suggestive, although entirely unnecessary. The public need ed not to be told that the Tribune's boys reflect only at random. Attached to the name of Col. R. G. lngersoll are enough titles, honorary and otherwise, to fill a column. After to-day there will be enough to fill an other column. Golightly MorriJl will preach on "An Agnostic." The Pioneer Press, when decorating the window of its new office, voiced its opinion of Minneapolis in the paper which it offers to this city. The sign reads, ••Weekly Pioneer Press." "Daily and Sunday" are added in a small line underneath. So much talk about the missing F. B, Matthews seems in apropos, in view of the fact that he had money. When a man has money it is not customary to question either his motives or his ac tions. Word comes from St. Paul that "Free" Lane is in attendance upon the legis lature looking after Thomas Lowry's in terests. It may be true, but, if so, it can be safely wagered that Lowry's in-. terests are those of Freeman P. Lane. Lars M. Rand has refused street car passes, and that -ancient libel which states that an alderman was never known to refuse anything is thereby re futed. Noble Judge Rand! Rev. 0. F. Burgess has issued a pamphlet on "The Saving of the Masses." Now if Rev. Thomas Lowry will write a tract on "The Saving of the Nickels,'.' the world will be able to wad dle along a few centuries further. PLEADING PRISONERS. Men Confined in ths County Jail Arraigned on Their Indictments. Sixth Warders Will Fig-ht the Removal of the "Ma dames." The Son of Mrs. Tuffnell to Be Sent to the Reform School. Charles H. Holcomb Used the Bible to Pound His Wife With. Tlio prisoners held in the county jail were arraigned on their indictments yesterday afternoon, and the usual monthly group of bystanders and half starved attorneys hung about the court room as the prisoners were brought up in pairs to have their cases disposed of. The first called was William Dunn, a heavy-set, brutal-looking specimen, who pleaded not euilty to burglary. His case was set for Monday. This man stated that he iiad relative's in St. Paul, and wanted his case kept quiet so that it would not shock them. George Boklen, the negro porter who stole a quantity of clothing from Brown ing, King & Co., and later figured as groom in a wedding ceremony at the jail, in which a light-colored female of liis own race was the bride, pleaded not guilty, and had his trial set for Tuesday. Thomas Cavanagh, a thick-set individ ual, with a fore-and-aft walk, claimed to be a sailor, and was up with Frank Donaldson, a younger companion, for stealing $20 from Robert Burton. They pleaded not guilty, and will be tried Monday. Henry Elliott and William Pickard, looking out at the elbows and in hard luck generally, up for grand larceny in the first degree for stealing clothing from the store of S. Kirch baum, pleaded not guilty. Pickard was the spokesman, and Elliott did the me too act. They will be tried Monday. Sam Johnson, a weak-looking, desti tute youth, pleaded guilty to grand lar ceny in the second degree, and will be sentenced Monday 01 or nine. Charles Fredericks, the bartender who assaulted Georsre Rooney and Dennis Finn, from the effects of which the latter came near dying, will be tried Tuesday, hav ing pleaded not guilty. Charles Mc- Kinney denied the soft impeachment of having overruled the demurrer of Kate Sullivan in a love affair, and will have a hearing Tuesday. James Provost, a boy accused of having stolen 526 from Esther Hitchcock, Kind lie didn't do it, and will be tried Monday. Walter Staunton and John Hayes, accused of having robbed Pat Lyons' saloon on Third street north, looked astounded at the idea of their knowing anything about it, and will be given until Mon day to refresh their memory. Jacob Slayman, indicted for buying stolen goods from a score of juveniles, chased his heavy face up before Judge Locliren as his indictment was read. The junk dealer said he was not guilty, and his case wasset for a hearing Mon day. Charles Worlliiugham stepped up with the air of a theological studcMit, and denied that he ever abstracted a quantity of cloth from the possession of an East side tailor, and will have a chance Monday to prove that he didn't. County Attorney Tliian stated that the reason for setting the cases so early in the week was to have the calendar cleared before Wednesday, when the Ileilpern case is to be heard. In this he will probably be disappointed, as the man Fredericks has employed Benton & Ben ton, and will make a strong fight. Mc- Kinney will also fight to the last, hav ing engaged a popular attorney to de fend him. It is probable, however, that some of the others will plead guilty on the next call. THEY DO PROTEST. Sixth Warders Will Also Fight the Removal of "Madames." The proposition to move the houses of ill-fame from First street south to Second street south between Tenth and Eleventh avenues has gone further than anyone supposed. This was made evi dent yesterday by the filing of a couple of deeds at the court house. The deeds are respectively from William and John Sexton to Hattie Cole. By them the Cole woman comes into possession of some 200 teet ot property on Second street between Tenth and Eleventh av enues, described lots 0 and 8, block 113, town of Minneapolis. William Sexton deeds 100 feet and John Sexton deeds 115. The price of each parcel is ?CB,OOO, or §130,000 for both. To each grantor the Cole interest is to pay $150 a month for ten years, and Feb. 15, 1901, she is to pay $50,000 to each aud receive title. The house on the property now is a large brick Scandinavian hotel. Other First street "madames" are said to be negotiating for property down there. But the Sixth ward people will not al low the location of a plague spot in their midst without a protest. Two mass meetings have been called for to-morrow night, at which remonstrances against this proposed removal will be made. Some of the most influential men in that portion of the city, one of whom is Jacob Stoft, will head the kickers and do their utmost to prevent the consum mation of this deal. MRS. TUPPXELL'S SOX. So Tough He Had to Be Sent to the Reform School. The sensational suicide of Mrs. Albert Tuffnell, which occurred nearly three months ago in the Globe building, was recalled yesterday by the appearance of her twelve-yearold son in the municipal court. The boy's name is Fred Gibson. He was Mrs. Tuffnell's son by a former marriage. Since Mrs. Tuffnell's death from the self-inflicted wound, her child ren, this boy and a little girl a couple of years his senior, have been cared for by Dr. A. B. Cates. Dr. Cates has found himself totally incapable of controlling the boy. His offenses may be summed up in one word— incorrigibility. The boy didn't seem very penitent when he faced Judge Mahoney yesterday, so he was sent to the reform school. The Bihle as a Weapon. Mary M. Holcomb was made hagpy by the present of a decree of divorce from her husband, Charles H. Holcomb. The couple were married in Augusta, N. V., many years ago, and have raised quite a family, some of the children being now grown up. The wife testified that Charles was a God-fearing man, and they used to have devotional exercises, in which he would read from a large family Bible. After the exercises were over, however, he would use the mas sive book as a weapon offensive, and mauled the whole family with it, her self preferred. She recited several other acts of cruelty sufficient to melt the kind-hearted judge to a tender mood, and with a few strokes of the pen he severed the hateful bonds. Ludlum the Pie Company. The long-winded case of the Irish- American Bank against John Ludlum came to a close yesterday, after consum ing nearly the whole week in a hearing. The suit was for the collection of a note given by the New York Pie company, and the bank sought to show that Lud lum was in fact the company in ques tion. After hearing the suit, the jury evidently thought so too, for they re turned a verdict in fa^.^r of the bank, iv the sum of $1,100, Ingersoll Versus Donnelly. Rumor has it that a rare literary treat THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FTJXDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8. 1891.— SIXTEEN PAGTkS. is in store for Minneapolitaus. While the arrangements have by no means been perfected, they are well under way. This treat is nothing more nor less than a joint discussion between Robert G. Ingersoll, who will champion Shakespeare, and Ignatius Donnelly, who espouses the cause of Bacon. It is reported that Mr. Donnelly has al ready iriven his consent to the project, and a messenger is now on his way to Butte City to treat with Mr. Ingersoll, who has long desired the opportunity to rout the Alliance statesman. ARRESTED AT AVIIiIiMAR, And Brought to Minneapolis For Trial. Deputy Sheriff Harry Luckor wentto Willinar, and when he returned he had in his possession the person of Ed Stuart, who rumor says has been, along with his brother David, indicted for perjury. Anyhow Stuart was arrested, although not locked up. He was registered at the jail and spent the night in charge of Deputy Luckor. The case in which the alleged to be false testimony was given is known as Stuart vs. Lowry. It is brought by the Stuarts to oust Thomas Lowry from possession of 160 acres of land located about a mile north of New Boston. The piaintiffs are said to have testified that they purchased the land from F. G. Mayo for a valuable consideration. The Stuarts are well known in Min neapolis. They came here about three years ago and opened a merchant tailoring establishment at the corner of Nicoilet and Fourth streets, where Harry Legg's jewelry store is now. He also had a store on Third street in St. Paul. According to the stories told they are no strangers to litiga tion. An assignment was made of the St. Paul store. The creditors claimed that some of the goods were exchanged for land, the title to which stood in the name of a younger broth er now in Europe. One Sandell, of St. Paul, brought suit to re cover some of the goods and won the case. George E. Goodrich now has pending in the courts two suits airainst them, one for 62,000 and one for $4,000, the value of certain stock in the dlow works at Fridley, which he seeks to recover. There is now pending in the United States courts a suit against them brought by A. H- Myers, to recover 83,000 on a note. It is ex pected that the trial of Stuart on the charge upon which he was arrested will be rich in sensational developments. THE DE VERB CONCERT. The Candid Opinion of a Mnsie Lover Upon the Xotable Event. Those who attended the concert Fri day evening were fortunate, and should be under lasting obligations to the management who made it possible to hear again Signorina Clementine de Vere. She sang in this city two years ago in May in the exposition building, as it was seated and arranged for Gil more's band. The room was of exten sive proportion and not in all respects favorable to the singer. It was remark able how well her voice traveled to the furthest end of the room, and with what ease she sang. It was with some curiosity that we attended the concert in Century hall, wondering if we would find, as many times is the case, that the voice that was so sweet and sympathetic in a large room, filled with a large concourse of people, would sound forced and harsh in a small room. This was in nowisejthe case; on the contrary, we enjoyed her singing more on Friday evening in Cen tury hall than we did two years ago in the' Exposition building. Signorina De Vere is a great artist. Her method is the best, her execution perfect, and her voice, throughout its entire range, rich, musical, soulful. Luscious is a good word to describe it. We heard some one say that she sang to F in alto. What of it? The party gave vent to this information with a self-satisfied air, as though they had settled the whole business. There was nothing more to be said. We think she may have sung to upper F and to lower A, making a range of two octaves and six notes. Young pigs have been known to squeal fully up to F, and yet they were not considered great singers, or even good ones. It is the character of her voice from middle C to upper A and the control she has of it that stan:ps her as one of the greatest siugers of the world. Of course, Signorina De Vere was the main feature of the evening, aud the balance of the programme furnished the setting for her numbers. We are not in a criticising mood, so we will not give utterance to our impressions of the ef forts of our home talent. Otherwise we would say that Mr. Browne brought out in a very mechanical manner all of the harshness that the harsh organ pos sesses, and conscientiously persevered to the end of his number, notwithstand ing the organ screeched out of tune. Mr. Drill has a really fine voice, and sings well, but there is habitually a la ment in the subject of his songs; "Love's Sorrows," "1 Would We Had Not Met;" very affecting themes, but we think Mr. Drill can afford to cease posing to the class who delight in such themes, aud sing pieces worthy of one of our city's best voice teach ers. One thing is very certain, the day is past when 'tis necessary for musi cians to pamper to the caprice of people with more money than brains for the sake of their patronage. Music is one of the leading arts, and those in the profession should dignify their calling. Mr. Woodruff is a fine accompanist, and Signorina De Vere must have felt well pleased with his work. He used such skillful registration in his organ number that the harshness of the orcan was largely done away with. Harvey Officer Jr. played first rate. He will "get there" if he keeps on. Next to the prima donna of the evening, the singing of the Sapho Ladies' quartette was de cidedly the best work done. In fact, they are bringing their work to a very high point of excellence. They are to be congratulated, and whoever is their teacher or drill master is also. Musiciax. Minneapolis, Feb. 7. DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS. A motion for a new trial was denied in the case of C. L. Holly vs. H. A. Ben nett & Co. The plaintiff received dam ages in the amount of $500 for an injury to his son, caused by falling lumber. The mandamus proceedings against Clerk Altnow, of the municipal court, was argued and taken under advise ment by Judge Smith. In the matter of the opening of Thirty second street, the court appointed O. C. Merriman, llobert Pratt and Edwin White as commissioners. The same gentlemen will appraise damages in the opening of Forty-second street north. Judge Smith has denied the motion to open the divorce case of Ernest Wracek against his wife, holding to his former opinion that the decree should be de nied. The case will be appealed. A new trial has been granted in the suit of Andrew J. Smith against W. H. Pecham. In the suit the jury brought in a verdict for the defendant, allowing him damages. The court held that there was no basis for such a verdict. The application for a dissolution o f the Gibson Investment company was granted by Judge Hicks. The application for a receiver for John A. Lund was allowed aud the order dra wn In the action of Johanna Mahoney against the American Building and Loan association, Judge Hicks denied the motion for a temporary injunction and discharged the restraining order. The American Pump aud Iron works has made an assignment to Charles B. Fletcher. The action was biought about by an attachment levied upon the works by the Minnesota Scrap Iron company. Judge Hicks added another proof ot the fact that the judge and not the jury is the gilded calf in the district court by setting asiae the $75 verdict received by Edmund Alary against A. K. Tubbs. In his opinion, the jury did not confine it self to facts aud decided against the testimony. The Metropolitan Trust company filed 1 articles of incorporation yesterday, with a capital stock of $2,000,000. : The in- : corporators are S. G. Cook, 11. C. Akely, -T. B. Walker, George A.

Burton and Carey . conducted a post-mortem examination yesterday morning of the body of Mrs. Emma Erickson, the insane woman who died Friday night at the county jail. The cause of death was meningitis— inflam-; mation of the covering ' of the brain. Her death leaves four little ones mother less, one of them a babe in arms. .»^fig§ A Fish Alley Thief. At last one of ] the Fish alley thieves j has been : caught. He name is Jack! Walters, and he is one of the most active j of the petty thieves who make that noisome spotjtheir rendezvous. Friday night he went through the store of T. H. Hairup," at 2118 . Riverside avenue,! and stole about §25 worth of goods, con-, sisting of shoes and .gents' furnishing goods. Detective Lawrence arrested i him yesterday and recovered most of i the property. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. A. C. Wilson, of Cleveland, 0., is visiting: his sister, Mrs. J. 11. Murch, at 61 Highland avenue. William Kelly stole some - stockings, and i John Olson stole a coat. They were sent to the workhouse for twenty and thirty days re-' spectively. A couple of days ago Supt. Snyder, de ceived by a piteous tale of woe, sent a man to the poor farm who has $600 on deposit in a local bank. He will be discharged im mediately. At the First Unitarian church this morning there will be an Emerson memorial service, ' with reminiscences of Emerson by Sidney H. Morse, his sculptor, and a short paper from Rev. 11. M. Simmons. The Spiritualists meet this morning at I. O. : O. F. hall, 12 Washington avenue north, for a conference meeting. In the evening T. Wil kins will lecture upon "The Dwarfed Spirit."' His address will be followed by tests. Rev. Dr. Burrell returned home yesterday forenoon, afier an absence of two weeks. Dr. Burrell took in the Pacific coast on this trip. He spent most of his time in San Francisco. The rumor that he ; had received '•indica . tions of a call" from a Boston church is un founded. Tarns Bixby announces that on Monday calls would be sent out to the various Repub lican county committees to meet in Minne apolis on March 12, instead of 10, as had been arranged. . The change has been made on ac count .of , many of the county committees meeting on the 10th. A member of the Farmers' Alliance, Rev. George Muller, will talk to the Single Tax league to-morrow night at the West hotel. He is the man who was expelled r from his New York pulpit because he would not keep ■silent concerning the wrongs of the working man. He has also lectured for the Knights of Labor. : The exposition fund has now reached the sum of 5)08.670. General Manager Brackett is at worK on the remaining ${2,00:30, which, he hopes to have pledged before Feb. 18, the day the directors have set for a decision as to whether or = not there shall be an expo sition this year. If the guaranty fund reaches 5100,000 on that day, the exposition will be held; if not, there will be no exposition this year. ■;-"-■ \ •■-.-• • -: V • ;-.'-: :; ■ The graduating exercises of the senior class of nurses occurs at the Homeopathic : hospital, 2446 Fourth avenue south, on Tues- . day, 2to 4 p.m. One graduate goes to St. Paul as superintendent of Dr. Bissel"s pri vate hospital.

A recent count by the city engineer shows ; the following teams, street cars , and pedes trians going over the Minneapolis bridges in j a day: Steel arch, 8,000 teams, 517 streetcars; i Twentieth avenue north, 564 teams. 865 pe- . destrians; Plymouth- avenue, 84:2 teams; ; Tenth avenue south, 889 team?, 1,726 pedes- ; trians: Washington avenue south, 451 teams. 142 street cars, 467 pedestrians.

For the steel arch bridge the count was for eleven hours, while i for the others it was for twelve hours from 7 o'clock a. m. , . - , Some of the recent ~ additions to the official roster of Minneapolis are dis playing a tendency to exaggerate: their ante-election promises of economy. The true practice of economy, both in private and public affairs, is a rare vir tue and pre-eminently a virtue that brings its own reward; yet there is al ways a danger that this economical principle may, in the hands of certain people, degenerate into . mean ness. Economy in the hand ling of public funds does not mean the refusal to - spend money judi ciously for public improvements. A dollar spent now may be worth $10 or twice $10 spent ten years hence. The man who refuses to spend the dollar now, under those circumstances, is not an economist — he is an obstructionist. Some of the new cityorticails are falling into the obstructive habit. Yet their cases are not hopeless. The disposition displayed by them is one common to new officials. It will probably be worn away as their eyes are opened by fur ther acquaintance with their official du ties- v ---■- The Plymouth Clothing House Annual February Trousers sale,s3,s4,so.
