At the next regular meeting of the club the committee on credentials will begin its work of receiving and prepar igu a correct list of delegates, and as only those duly accredited will be eli gible to participate in the business of toe club, it is important that the secre taries of ward and other clubs entitled to representation should prepare proper credentials and have them signed by the president and secretary ot such clubs, to be tiled with the secretary of the central club. The meeting at which Mr. Darrow will be the orator is to be he!d under the auspices of the Central and Ward Democratic clubs, and the hustlers com posing the membership intend that the rally shall far eclipse the reception given to J. Caesar Burrows Monday evening, both in numbers and en thusiasm. Let every man spread the news and advertise the meeting. ALERT IX THE SECOND. A Meeting Full or Vim — Indorse ment of Candidates. The Second ward Democracy held a large and enthusiastic club meeting last night iv Luckers'a hall. The Central orchestra of fourteen pieces .gave a free concert during the evening. J. C. Michaels, Esq., delivered an excellent address ou the tbeme of organization, supplemented with an analysis of the issues of the campaign. An earliest debate ensued between the members of the club over the adop tion of resolutions asking the nomina tion of Judge Clark for the legislature and John W. Willis for district judge. Several gentlemen advised a delay on the motion to adopt the resolutions until a week's noiice of the proposed action shall be given, and it was decided to ask a full attendance of the Democrats of the ward at the next meeting of the ciub, when the resolutions will be put upjn their passage. Mr. Scaunell. in speaking of the adoption of the resolutions, said he did not oppose the gentlemen named, but he thought the adoption of such a course would not stop snort of the en tire ticket. He incidentally mentioned J. H. burns as being present and a can didate for auditor, lie was interrupted by a proposition for three cheers for Jimmy Burns, which were given with vim. M. C. Es^an, president of the club, said he was glad to see the club take so much imprest in politics, and he pro posed to {five all the widest opportunity for discussion, and he would not oiler any objection to presenting the names of candidates for indorsement, but give the club an opportunity to vote upon the question of their indorsement. Peter liott was elected as a vice presi di-irt of the club from the Third precinct to lili a vacancy. THE HUSTL.IXG FIFTH. Perfection ol* the Organization to lie Accomplished Tonight. The regular meeting of the Fifth Ward Cleveland, Lawler and Castle club will take place this evening at C. S. P. S. hall.

To make the occasion pleasant tiie Omaua Shops band has been secured to furnish music, and officers of every club in the city who can are invited to attend and aid in encouraging and explaining ttie objects of these clubs. It is re quested by the committee that every citizen in the ward attend and express his views on any subject of interest to Democrats of the ward and the party in general. As the county convention will 0-.! called very soon, all matters of a local nature should be thoroughly dis cussed, and then, after the nominations have all been made, the field will be clear for the grand rallies it is proposed to have take place in this ward.

TROUBLE IS BREWING. The Revolt of the Afro-American Voters Will Not Easily Be Quelled. Republican Organs and Leaders Suspiciously Silent as to the Organized Protest. The news of the Afro-American mas 9 meeting, published exclusively in the Globe of Wednesday, was read with wry faces in the rooms of the Repub lican state central committee, and while some of the more hide-bound old parti sans gave the movement little consider ation, counting on the long-time allegi ance of the colored man to make him proof against the incitement to revolt begun at Tuesday night's meeting, the more thoughtful men on the committee at ouce perceived that danger lufks iv the present mood of the colored citi zens, especially or Ramsey county. Many of the men who attended the mass meeting yesterday expressed themselves that the Globe's state ments were not too strongly drawn, and Lawyer McGhee, whose grievance was the primary cause of the meeting, said the report of the meeting and the senti ments entertained and uttered was, if anything, too mild in its language. E. P. Wade, who presided, was sought for an expression of opinion, but when the ! reporter sighted him on the steps of the capitol, in the midst of a group ol office holders, he was so busily engaged iv re citing the unalterable allegiance of the black man to the Republican party under all circumstances that the inter view was abandoned. There is trouble brewing sure, and its manifestation will come in a way long to be remem bered by the men who imagine they can use and abuse the colored voters at their own sweet will.

Notes and Use of Power of Attor ney Used Very Freely in the Matter. Jonathan N. Harris yesterday brought suit against John Johnston, A. J. Smith, F. E. Searle, William M. tiushnell and A. R. Bushnell. The plaintiff alleges that on March 1, 1888, Lewis D. Petre gave the defendants his note for $2,000, secured by mortgage on Jots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, block G of Summit Park Addition to South St. Paul. All the defendants but William M. Bush nell united and gave him their respective powers of attorney. On April 4, 1888, actintr as their attorney in fact, liushnell indorsed the note and assigned the mortgage to tha plaintiff. Bushnell sold the lots to Petre and gave warranty deeds in each case for the other defend ants as their attorney in fact. The note was made payable March 1," 1894. When the interest became dun on March 1, 1892, amounting to 70, it was not paid and was protested, the fees amounting to $0.50. The plaintiff declared his op tion to have the entire principal sum fall due, and now demands $'2,009.50. S E. Hall is plaintiff's attorney, and Youug & Lightner of counsel. §28.00 to New York and return. $30.00 to Boston and return. £28,00 to Washington and return.

I Hoyt Rather Holds the Age on That Too Eager Com- ' mlttee. Those Sensational Charges Simmer Down to Very Little. The Mayor's Crushing Charge Failed to Come to the Front. Everything Hoyt's Way on the First Day ot the Hearing. The six members of the special com mittee. Dr. Hoyt, C. D. O'Brien, £. A. Hendrickson and a small-sized lobby attended the meeting of the investiga tion committee yesterday afternoon. As soon as the meeting convened C. D. O'Brien stated that he and Mr. lleu drickson represented Dr. Hoyt as coun sel, and desired to know if there were any objections to such appearance. . There being none, Mr. Tike read his resolution passed at the last meeting, which practically requested all persons who had statements to make regarding the manner in which affairs of the de partment had been conducted under Dr. Hoyt's administration to send in the same. Waived Jurisdiction. Mr. O'Brien said that without regard to the jurisdiction the council had in the matter, Dr. Hoyt recognized the right of the council to make investiga tions as to his or any other department. The doctor, he said, was willing and anxious to answer all questions relating to the affairs of the health department, and wouid be glad to furnish the com mittee any information it desired. In relation to the indorsement or ap proval of bills of the Azotine company, Mr. O'Brien said the indorsement by Dr. Hoyt had not the least legal effect. The commissioner was not a party to the contract made between the city and Fleishman, who was first awarded the contract, nor had he anything to'do with the transfer of the contract from Fleish man to the Azotine company. The bilis had been approved by Dr. Hoyt after the council committees had approved them. The fact that the doctor was not the city auditor arid his approval of the bills had no legal or binding effect on the city should be taken into considera tion. None of the bills approved had been paid, pewsoaper reports to the con trary notwithstanding. I" lie Gould matter. In the matter of one Gould, an em ploye in the department, having been paid salary for the month of May, 1891, when, lie died on May 6^ Mr. O l ßrien made the following explanation: Some time in May or June the then mayor ex plained to Dr. Hoyt that it was cus tomary when au employe in any of the departments disd to continue his salary to the end of the month in which he died. On this statement Gould's name was placed on the June pay roll, the no tation being made that it was for salary for part of the month of May. Whether or not the city had the right to recover from the bank to which the pay was as signed or from Dr. lloyt "for the amount was a question with which the commit tee had nothing to do. In order that the committee might be convinced as to the statements made, they could, if de si redy»exa mine the records which were before them as to the azotine bills, and further call on members of the old coun cil and officers of the Azotine company. As to the Gould matter, the evidence of the ex-mayor would bear oat the state ments made. Azotine Claims. Mr. Hendrickson, iv speaking of the Azotine matter, said in August, 1891, the corporation attorney decided the Azotine company had not defaulted in their contract. The health commis sioner at the time informed the com mittee that the work was not being done according to contract, in that the garbage was not beiiig disposed of by the Merz system, The Azotine com pany representatives claimed at the time the garbage was being removed from the city, and that in the near fut ure another plant would be built to re place the one destroyed by fire. The committee ordered the Azotine company to go ahead and do the best they could under the circumstances. It was under the advice and suggestion of the committee that the bills for five months were approved by the health commissioner. .The corporation attor ney at that time had in a written opin ion said the claims were legal under the action of the committee in ordering the company to go ahead. These facts, Mr. liendricksou said, were matters of record which could be ascertained by the bills now in the hands of this com mittee. He also called the attention of the committee to the fact that none of the bills so approved by the commis sioner had been paid, and that the in dorsement had no legal effect so far as the payment of the bills was concerned. A Fatherless Statement. While the statements.ot counsel were being made Mr. Derail had furnished the reporters with a communication which had been sent in, probably iv auswer to the request for statements about the administration of the health department. The communication was neither signed nor sworn to, and in this connection Mr. O'Brien said he hoped the committee would take cognizance of the position in which Dr. Hoyt was placed, and, in admitting so-called evi dence, have the charges formulated so that recourse could be had against the individuals making the charges in case they were not correct. This was but proper and fair, as rumors and not sub stantial evidence could be talked about, which, while not true or hav ing any foundation of truth, would affect an official iv his present and fut ure standing. After this talk the com mittee decided not to consider the com munication and requested the reporters not to use it.f If an investigation were to be had, Mr. O'Brjeu requested it be con ducted in a legal way, and lie also asked that meetings be held evenines. This he anticipated would be best, as even the aldermen he thought must have business which demanded their atten tion during the day time. Tccli nically Admitted. Mr. Hie kman said the commissioner through his counsel, had admitted tech nically that the charees were true. It would be proper, he thought, for the counsel for Dr. Hoyt to say to what extent the investigation should now be made. Mr. 0 'Brien, in reply, said the state ments that had been made iv explana tion had not been controverted, and the mere fact that they should be sworn to would make them no stronger. As to the Azotine bills, the papers and records were now before the committee and could be used to prove the correct ness of the statements. Regarding the payment of Gould's salary for the twen ty-three days after his death, it was cus tomary in all departments to carry men ou the pay rolls for the balance of the ' mouths in wh ich they died. Assistant Corporation Attorney M chael corroborated the statements of Mr. O'Brien as to the practice of pay nig salaries to employes in city depart ments for the months in which they died. Mr. Michael also said it would be proper to have further charges if Uiere were auy made in writing*-as he did not care to listen to verbal charges and pass opinions ou them. Irresponsible Talkers. Mr. O'Brien said Dr. Hoyt or coun sel did not want to be present at any meeting when the committee were talk ing with people about alleged charges, and he also suggested that such persons could seethe committee privately. What the counsel did not want was to be pres ent when the formal charges were made or presented to the committee. Mr. Pike said the committee had ac complished part of what it waa ap pointed for. An informal explanation had been made, and an opportunity given for any other matters to be pre sented. The committee, he thought, would prefer to consider the matter iv a private conference, and determine how : they should proceed. Atter a whispered consultation, the chairman announced an adjournment wonTd be takeu to next Tuesday after noort 'at 3 o'clock. The members of the coinWittee had an executive, or, as they termed it, an informal talk concerning their 'proposed action after the adjourn ment, but decided not to say what cou clusldns, If any, had been arrived at. 9 ,j Beautiful Neckwear. •Welsh Margetson's English Neckwear can only be found at The Boston on Third street A COSTLY MASSAGE. While Reveling Under the Pond liniC or Magic Hands a Fanner Is "Touched." He Had $101 and Rhenmatiz, Now He Has Empty Pockets and a Kick Coming. James Doyle, a farm laborer forty six years old, residing at Rosemount, is $101 short. To a person of Doyle's oc cupation and habits this is a small fort une, and he kicked loud and long over the loss. Doyle claims that Monday night he put up at a Robert street hotel. Tuesday morning it was nearly noon when he arose, and on his way down stairs a female named Lizzie Lang ac costed him in the hall. She claimed to have "important in formation," and for fear of interruption Doyle went with her to her room. When he went in, Doyle says he had $1 and some small change iv his right trousers pocket, and in his left pocket five twenty-dollar bills. The bills were packed snugly away in a pocketbook, and the wallet stowed inside an empty tobacco bag. During his call and while receiving the "important information," Doyle was given a massage treatment by Lizzie to relieve him of rheumatic pains and aches. Lizzie, so Doyle says, administered the treatment in such a manner that she robbed the pocket con taining the $100. He demanded a re turn of the money, but Lizzie denied that she had taken it. Complaint was made to the police, and the detectives are now searching for the woman. Father of the Man. The boy with a "Tourist Style" Hat trorn the "Plymouth's" fall stock. GRASPING FOR GAS. A Seeminglylnnocent Council Res olution Credited as Bein £ Part of a Plan To Secure the Laying of Gas Mains in Merriam Park Dis trict. S At last night's meeting of the board 3>f .aldermen a resolution was introduced by Aid. Hickman asking that gas lamp 3 .be substituted for gasoline lamps in pertain portions of the Eleventh ward. .{The resolution was sent to the board of *>übljc works on a preliminary order. ATesterday the matter came up in the •board and was laid aside without action. ,' A gentleman seemingly posted on the subject said the animus of the resolu tion was to give the residents in Mer kiam Park gas for their dwellings. The gas company "would not, he said, lay mains out that way unless a certain number of gas lamps were ordered put in the district. The resolution provided that about 90 gasoline lamps be discon tinued and the same number of gas lamps put in. The gasoline lamps now in use cost about $14 per year, while the placing of gas lamps would increase the cost to $38 per lamp. In addition to this the gasoline lamps would be removed to some other locality. The result would be, practically, that the city would be required to pay about $3,000 per year for the gas lamps and at the same time still pay $1,100 additional for the gaso line lamps, which wouid be ordered put in some other district. Under the pres ent condition of city finances no such action, he said, ought to ue taken, even if the Merriam Park residents had to go without gas in their houses. Ready to Wear.
