MINNEAPOLIS. EXPOSITION NOTES. The exposition management is willing to pay a liberal reward for the return of the immense python which escaped from the building Thursday night while they were unpacking the box in which it was shipped to , Manager Brackett from Soutu America. But few expecta tions are entertained, however, that it will be captured, because of its im mense size aud ferocity. Manager Brackett states that the ex hibits by the local merchants this year will be much more extensive than ever before. The requests for space from the business men of Minneapolis have been more numerous than in any pre vious years, and they are putting more money into the plan of showing their goods than they have done at any of the expositions in the past. Boxes of choice curios and cosily paintings are arriving at the exposition building every day. Art Director Smith Btill refuses to let the public know what lie is preparing for their inspection and insists that the surprise which he has in store for all lovers of art will more than recompense them for the long wait which they will be compelled to submit to before the day of the opening. The stalwart and energetic Col. Gore, whose tall and commanding figure is as familiar around the exposition building as the tower itself, has returned to the city after a long and dangerous tour of exploration throughout the southern portion of the state. The colonel has used several barrels of paste and many tons of pictured paper in letting the people knew what the attractions or the exposition will be this season. Durnam Loses Again. Morris Durnam got the worst of it again in the district court yesterday. Last spring Emma Schmidt brought suit against Durnam to compel him to pay that judgment of 12,750, and to re strain him from conveying any more of his property to his mother and brother to avoid "paying the judgment. Judge Hooker filed a decision yesterday ordering judgment for her against Dur nani p.nd enjoining him or his relatives from interfering in any way with her attempt to collect the judgment. He further declares the deeds to several lots in Highland park, given by Durnam to his mother, vacated. The judge thinks that Durnam and his friends are trying to beat the girl out of her ver dict. _ T\vo Cases of Sunstroke.

He was taken to his home in the "North side patrol wagon, and last night was resting as comfortably as could be expected. A Sickening Discovery. A foetus of four or five months growth, somewhat macerated and badly decomposed, was found yesterday after noon under the culvert near the uni versity.

Some Policemen Found It En throned in Minneapolis Yesterday. W. C. T. U. Ladies Assemble and Deliver a Few Mild, . Harmless Roasts. There Is an African in Thir teenth Street— Dr. Chase's Law Again. Odell and His Patent Mail Box —More Coin for the City. Mrs. Celie Eddie, the Salvation Army woman who has distinguished herself by work in the slums of Chicago, says she didn't come to Minneapolis to do anything: of that sort. It is too bad she didn't. .She could find such work to do eveL> in this city of churches. The po lice stumbled npon a case yesterday that shows now far down the scale human beings can come. Some people living In the vicinity of Seventh avenue south and Washington told the officers that there was a case on the third floor that needed investigat ing. They went up to see. In a room over 70$} i Washington avenue south they found a wo.nan and five children —no, she was not a woman either, nor were the little creatures much like children. The mother had been fairly endowed with good looks once. Squalor, dissipation, and misery had obliterated every trace. She could not have been above twenty-five years of age. Yet she seemed as indifferent to hersurrounrtings or the veriest crone from whom children flee. She. extend ed at full length upon a dirty -couch, looking out from bleared eyes in a half intoxicated manner, accentuated the wretchedness of the surroundings. And the children! The oldest was about eight; the youngest barely old enousrh to walk. Children of misery was writ ten in their pinched faces, on the dirty garments, in the wild look of the eyes. Where was the father of these chil dren, the husband of the woman? No one knew. The woman said she didn't know; the children didn't seem to care. All that could be learned was that he was a plumber, and Secretary Holt, pf the associated charities, will do what he can tor the little ones. SOME MILD ROASTS. Critical Annual Reports by Ladies of the W. C. T. U. Yesterday afternoon the Central W. C. T. U. held its sixteenth annual meet ing. There was nothing remarkable about this meeting— no quarrels, no splits. All was harmony, with a large, variegated S. The address of Mrs. H. J. Moffet, the president, was of a con gratulatory nature. Speaking of the work of the future, she said: "What shall our sowing be this year? The question will be answered as in the past, more by doing what comes to our hand day by day than making plans for the future. One thing we must promise ourselves and God — that we will not take one backward step, and that, as the way has been opened and we have entered in, so we will continue to advance, looking to Him as a leader, and loyally taking counsel of those who. under Him, are over us in state and na tion." One of the most interesting of the annual reports was that read by Dr. Mary Whetstone, superintendent of health and heredity. She also has charge of the industrial school. During the year there have been in operation in the industrial school free classes in dressmaking, stenography and type writing. The art of housekeeping has been taught to a class uf twenty-one girts. Of these fifteen took the comulete three months' course. All but three of them were free pupils, receiving board, room and training.They are all now putting into practice at home the training received in the in dustrial school. There was also a class of little girls in plain cooking. There were two paid classes of servant girls and a paid class of nurses from St. An thony hospital, who received training in sick room cookery. One of the longest and most interest ing reports was that of Mrs. A. C. Mc- Curdy, the secretary. She detailed the establishment of a free kindergarten. She gave Mayor Winston a sly little dig under the fifth rib. She said that Mrs. Rust had gone to the mayor with a peti tion to which were attached the signa tures of 2,000 women, request ing the removal of objectionable pic tures from the streets. The mayor said he would "have it attended to" and also requested the ladies to designate tne pictures to which they ob jected. She also spoke of the establish ment of a lunch-room tor girls of the night school and of the successful operation of the restaurant. Mrs. McCurdy had still another re port. Jails and jail work come under her supervision. Last year, it will be remembered. Mrs. McCurdy created a small sensation by writing a most un mitigated roast on the Henne pin county jail. This year her report is milder, probably because as she says she has been unable to visit the jail very much. However, she says it is the "same old jail with the same old system of herding men together." She commends Gen. Brinkerhotf's roast on the jail as a good thing. The condi tion of the jail, she says, is fair. Every cot now has a pillow and pillow case, something new. The food is good, but not served in such vari ety, nor served as well as in the Ramsey county jail. Mrs. McCurdy gave a long dissertation on her work among the families of which a member is in jail. She finds a startling amount of unfaithfulness to the marriage vows. But, she says, as long as men make the laws for both men and women, so long will this state of affairs exist. She made three recom mendations in closing— that the school of crime- now doing duty as a county jail be discontinued, and the enforce ment of the state law prohibiting the confinement of men and boys in one cell; organization for the relief of pris oners newly from jail: the passage of a suitable law for the punishment of men who desert their wives and children. Mrs. Bicknell reported on the work against the use of tobacco and narcotics. A long time ago she called on Gen. Goodrich, of the street railway and ex horted him to put a stop to the smoking and chewing on the street cars. He promised her that he would have the difficulty remedied. Mrs. R. S. Smith read a report on the work in the interest of female suffrage. She did more work in the good cause during the T, P. S. C. E. convention than any other time. Mrs. H. E. Gallimrer, the treasurer, reported the receipts of the year as $5,280 and the expenditures ?4,274. The expense of maintaining the industrial school was only £2.115.75. The following officers were elected, all being re-elected except vice president: President, Mrs. IT. J. Moffett; vice presi dent, Miss A.M. Henderson; corresponding secretary, Mrs. C W. Fobs; recording secre tary. Mrs. A. C. McCurdy; treasurer, .Mrs. H. E. "Gallinger. The officers, together with Mrs. K. S. bmith. Dr. Mary Whetstone and Mrs. Fiemming constitute the executive com mittee. Mrs. C. E. Gaskell and Mrs. J. B. Ellis were elected delegates to the state con vention, with Mrs. J. W. Whittier and Mrs. M.

A QUEER PROCEEDING. A Pecnliar Phase in the History of Thirteenth Street. The council committee on roads and bridtres met yesterday afternoon and received a protest from residents of Thirteenth street west of Nicollet ave nue to the condemnation of certain property which upon investigation un earths a very queer proceeding of sev eral years asro. The facts in the case are as follows: In August. ISS). Aid. Cole introduced a, resolution vacating a triangular piece of ground on the north side of Thirteenth street, west of Nicollet avenue, almost a Muck, where there is a turn in the street. Tho council records show it was referred to the aldermen of the ward, but at the next meeting it was reported upon favorably by Aid. Cole, l'arry and Lovell, and not the ward aldermen. The resolution passed the council, and in October following Mr. Cole introduced an amendment to the resolution, providing for vacating, aiso. a strip twenty feet wide, on the opposite side of Thirteenth street, fronting the block owned by A. M. Keed. This amendment was j>a--<l. This practically gave Mr.Keed twenty feet right out of the street and left a twenty-toot jog at this point. The trouble, however, was not noticed until a few days ago, when workmen set about laying the curb and gutter. Then it was found that the curb line reached to the middle of the sidewalks opposite Mr. Reed's property, and the owners along this line put in a protest to having their property trimmed off to make up for the twenty feet presented by the council to Mr.Keed. Messrs. Hal and Louis Watson appeared in behalf of the protest. Although this matter has never been before the council, and lias therefore formally been placed in the hands of the committee the case was heard yesterday that the committee may render an immediate report on Wednes day night, when the question is thus referred. It was decided to recommend that the 20-foot strip given to Keed be condemned and taken back by the city, although it is believed that this will vow be expensive matter. THEY WERE XOT THERE. Investigation of Park Police Post poned — Other Complaints. The park board committee on police met yesterday morning to consider the complaints made against two of the officers stationed at Minnehaha park, but owing to tiie fact that no one had thought to notify the officers and Super intendent Berry to be present it was found necessary to adjourn the hearing until Monday. It would now appear that the Minnehaha park officers are not tie only ones who have incurred the displeasure ot visit ors. Complaints have also been made against several officers located at other places. The charges brought are about the same, viz. : That the officers have exercised undue harshness in the dis charge or their duty. Some of them are alleged to have used profane language in the presence of ladies. The board will carefully investigate all of the charges. CITY LIGHTING. Electric Companies Want to Block Aid. Potter's Scheme. The Brush Electric Light company is laying wires to get the contract for street lighting at the exuiration of the present contract, and it is expected that a very low bid will be submitted by that company. Said one of its representa tives yesterday: "It is true Minneapolis pays more for. her arc lamps than most cities in the' country pay, but she made her contract in 18S7 for live years, while the cities that have cheap lights now "nave been making their contracts for one or two years, thus gettint: the advantage of competition at frequent intervals, with consequent lower prices, in ISS7, when Minneapolis made her contract, ?l">i) per lamp a year was not a high price. When our contract expires in 1892 we can submit a bid that will make the city think seriously | before it even discusses a plan of its own. In most cases where cities are represented as owning their election plants, the facts have never been told." There are ten cities in the country that built and equipped electric light plants; and, as far as the United States is concerned, nearly every one of these plants is now in the hands of a stock company. The cities built them, but found themselves unable to operate them economically, and so got rid of them as fast as they could.' 7 THE OTHER SIDE. The Correction and Charities Bill Differently Construed. The lawyers of the city are not unani mously of the same opinion as Assistant Attorney Simpson in regard to the in tent of the charities and correction bill, although they ao all agree that thQinw is loosely drawn and very much in volved and that its meaning is at times decidedly obscure. One prominent at torney explains the provisions of the bill as follows: First— lt places under a board of five com mibMoners the charge, mnuageiuent and con trol of the charities of the city— the alms houses, hospital? and workhouses. Second— lt provides for a superintendent of the Door, a eitv physician and superin tendent of the workhouse, and deti neb their duty. Third— lt gives the board power "to em ploy al! help necessary in caring for the poor, the maintenance and control of all charities, hospital* and places of detention or correction.'" and to fix the salaries of all em ployes not hereinbefore provided for, and to make all rules and regulations necessary to carry out the provisions aud imenlionsof of this a<'t. It is worthy of note that many of the salaries are fixed by the act. A lnaxi mum rate is. however, specified. Fourth— The city council is required in its animal levy to provide a sum sutJieient "for the compensation of such otlieers and em ployes which said board are authorized to ap point, and tor all other proper expense*. '' Finn — Xo present incumbent to be re moved except upou "'good aud sufficient cause." There can be no question, said he, but that these provisions grant full and complete control to the board. The only question on this point arises in sec tion G which reads as follows: He shall appoint an assistant, matrons, nurses and all the otner help necessary in discharging the duties of his office and caring for the city hospital and the sick under the charge of the department, or discharge the same, and shall report the same to the board. It is claimed that under this clause the city physician may hire and dis chanre bis own help, but this does not hold for the reason that these powers have already been given to the board, and, therefore, cannot be delegated to the physician. Not Satisfied. J. F. Andrews has appealed to the city council for a change of the grade on Washington avenue at the soutii ap proach to the new bridge over the cross ings. Mr. Andrews has made arrange ments for the erection of a large busi ness block at the corner of Washington and Third avenues north, where he owns a frontage of 168 feet, and he desires the change so that this building may be on grade. The grade established by the council starts at Third avenue north, and makes an easy incline to the roadway of the brulgeat about the same grade as Nic ollet avenue between Third and Fourth streets. Mr. Andrews wants the grade changed so as to commence at a point half way between Third avenue north and the" bridge. This would make a grade of 2 ; ; feet to the 100, or somewhat greater than the grade on Nicollet ave nue between Fifth and Sixth streets. The city engineer opposes the proposed change, owing to the heavy travel on this street. During one hour yesterday 207 Si'!«l£ teams, 238 double teams and 38 electric carl ?ros2!^ t'^ridge. . ODELL'S INVENTION. He Has Built a New Mail Box That Seems to Have Good Points. K. JR. Odell, the fat United States' commissioner, is now starring himself as au inventor. lie has built and ap plied for a patent on a mail box. He believes that it is a goo thing. He says that Postmaster Hale and ex-Post master Larraway have both told him it's a good thing. Odell will try to have the United States government adopt it. It was designed especially for use on the ■ interurban mail cars, but can be used anywhere. The box is of peculiar shapcOThe end looks like half of a shield divided perpendicularly. On the strength of this Odell hopes to work up a boom for his invention on the patriotic score.' He would have three sides of the box painted red, white and blue, respec tively, and the third, or shield-like end, covered with red, white and blue stripes to look like the national coat of arms. One motion unlocks it and raises the top. That opens the bottom and the mail within drops into the sack held underneath. At present a good deal of time is wasted in gathering mail from tlie boxes on the interurban cars. Odell claims that if his box were used the mail matter could be removed from the boxes on the cars without the loss of any appreciable time. AN IMPORTANT POINT. The Subordination of the Justice Court to Be Tested. An iinportadt law point will be ar gued before Judge Hoover in the dis trict court this morning. It involves the right of the district court to corrpel the abandonment of proceedings begun in a justice court and the transfer of the action to the district court. It comes up on the petition «of T. S. Ke viere for an order restraining E. E. Moore and others from disposing of cer tain property. This is the case that caused the little setto between C. E Brame and T. E. Reviere. Brame, act ing for other parties, seized some of Re vieie's household goods ou a chattel mortgage. The writ of .execution was issued from a justice court. There is no law under which the property can be reDlevined. So Keyiere will lose his property unless the district court can find a way to stop proceedings. Re viere never knew Moore held a • mort gage on the property until it was fore closed. The mortgage was to secure a .* 1 75 debt on which Reviere had paid $120 in interest beside the regular 10 per cent. JUNE ANi» JULY. How the Latest Collections Have Been Apportioned.

Seton-Karr, a member of the English house of parlia ment, and one of the directors of the llarney Peak Mining company, whose interests are in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is authority for the statement that there are 500,000 tons of tin ore, averaging -2. , per cent, in sight and on the dumps at the mines at Hill City, Dak. Speaking of the outlook, he said to a reporter: "Our mill will soon be on the ground, and soon after its erec tion there, 500 tons of the ore will be crushed every day. The blo</c tin which the mill will turn out contains 75 per cent of pure metal. The person* who have been talking about there not being any tin at Hill City will soon dis cover their error, for we shall soon be producing pure tin. A large quantity of it will be shipped to England, despite the output of the Cornwall mines. Large . quantities of the block tin, as well as the pure metal, will be shipped across the country." -«*■ Long Litigation Ended. San Francisco, Aug. 7.— The su preme court of California to-day ren dered a decision in the suit of Moris vs. Alvarado, involving title to the San Pablo ranch, in Contra Costa county, comprising 18.000 acres -of land.

San Diego, Cal., Aug. 7.— A Tuma correspondent says a report brought in by the Cocopap Indians states that the earthquake on the SOth-ult. resulted In' changing the course of the Colorado river. It left its old bed and now flows through a crevasse forty feet wide and thousand feet long. The report is not generally believed, but one result of the recent earthquake was the renewed activity of the volcanos in. the ML Cocopap region.

Several new lumber barges are being built at the South Stiihvater dock yards for J. E. Joy & Co., of St. Louis, who, a little more than a year ago inaugurated the plan of transporting lumber from this city to St. Louis in barges. The barges now under construction are 145 feet long by 24 feet wide, and will hold a large amount of lumber. During the coming winter twelve more barges will be built, and the new industry promises to be more exteusive. Mr. Jonas Batch elder, the superintendent of the yards, stated yesterday to a Globe representa tive, that from all indications he in ferred that a stock company would be organized next year, and that a large amount of lumber now rafted would be shipped In barges. The object in having such a large supply of barges he says, is so that while one fleet of barges is in transit to St. Louis the other fleet can be loaded here. Nine barges were recently shipped to St. Louis containing between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 feet of lumber. Although barge shipping is a great deal more ex pensive than raftinir, it has pioved a success. One advantage derived from this mode of shipping is that when the lumber arrives at its destination it is dry and fit to be placed ou the market immediately. A prominent lumberman in this city stated yesterday that loggers doing bus iness on the St. Croix had many advant ages over loggeis doing business in other streams. One being the fact that although the water is extremely low, the boom and dam companies have, by controlling the water in a succession of dams along the St. Croix. enabled the boom to run with the 'present stage of water, and between 1,500,000 and 2,000, --000 feet of logs are being turned out daily. This was only made possible by the building of the St. Croix, the Ne vers and Crotty dams. Never before has the boom been enabled to run with so low a stage of water. 'J. S. Bassett, who has been promi nently identified with the electric street railway in this city since May SO, 18S0. and during the pa-it year and a half has been superintendent, severed his con nection with the company yesterday.

The Big Failure May Reveal Sen sations. ■ New York, Aug. 7.— Counsel for H. Myers & Bros., of Savannah, Ga., have obtained from Judge O'Brien, of the supreme court, injunctions against the Merchants' National bank, the Central National bank, Abraham Backer and his assignee, Benjamin F. Einstein. The Merchants' bank is enjoined from disposing of sixty bonds of the Savan nah & Atlantic Railway company and a note of §20,000 of the Mucagee Heal Estate company, of Columbus, pledged with the bank by Backer. The Central National is restrained from disposing of 163 shares ot the stock of the National Bank of Savannah, also pledged by Backer. The cases in which injunctions were granted to-day show strange conduct on the part of Abraham Backer, who failed for *4,000,000, an I gives currency to the rumor that criminal proceedings maybe taken against him. It appears that H. Myers & Bros., of Savannah, were in the habit ot sending Backer notes to be discounted. Sometimes they sent col lateral and sometimes they .did not. They sent him notes aggregating less than §72.000, and sent the bonds, notes and stocks worth $72,000 mentioned in this suit as collateral. Instead of using the collateral he had the notes dis counted on the strength of the Myers Bros.' credit. He informed them, it is averred.that the collateral was pledged for the discount. He, however, pledged the collateral in his own account and pocketed the proceeds. Myers. Bros, must therefore pay their notes, and, in order to get back their collaterals, must also pay the sums secured by Backer on them. The same law firm represents V. Henry Kotlischild & Co.. shirt manu facturers, whose claim is secured. They are friends of Backer, however, and are anxious to aid him. Lawyer Samuel Uiitenneyer said the action of Backer in the Myers suits was indictable for grand larceny, but that no criminal proceeding are contemplated at present. LOCAL MENTION.

Chicago, Aug. 7.— On a bill filed in the circuit court by Fred Harvey, Judge Driggs has issued an injunction re straining the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company from running din ing cars upon its lines west of the Mis souri river, covered by contract with him, from feeding passengers between any of the points upon this portion of its road, and from refusing to stop its passenger trains at complainants' hotels and lunch rooms. Harvey represents that the plant now controlled by his lunch system covers from 2,200 to 2,500 miles of road and has cost him $150,000; that he is conducting twenty hotels and eating houses, at which lie feeds daily about 2,500 persons, and twenty-four lunch rooms feeding as many more; that he established them in tiie face of great obstacles, such as incursions by hostile savages, and the raids of gam blers and desperadoes, and that now the road threatens to put on dining cars and give his places the go-by. The rail road people claim that the contract does not debar them from putting on dining cars, and will move for a dissolution of the injunction. | » NEW FOURTH OF JULY.
