"Wegians. In literature her place was
in the very first rank, and, her com
mercial prosperity in many impor
tant branches is well known. So
cially the abolition of orders of nobil
ity had resulted in .the higher classes
intermarying with the lower, so that
now every neighborhood almost con
tains a liberal admixture of noble
blood, and the greatest cordiality and
sympathy exists between all classes.
The recent differences that had arisen
between Sweden arid Norway are not
between the middle classes of those
countries. They entertain for each
other a profound respect, but the dis
putes are chiefly to be blamed upon
the narrow aristocratic prejudices of
Ithe Swedish nobility, and the latter's
hatred of Norwegian independence.
As a further illustration of 'the latter
characteristics mentioned, the speak
er referred to the praiseworthy and
important part taken by the Nor
wegians in the late American civil
war. In closing Prof. Dahl closed
with the following eloquent appeal:
Gamle Norge har ingen Grund til at
Kkamme sig over sine Born.. Hun har
havt Are, af dem, some forbler hjem
ma 1 sin Mors Gaard. Hun har hid til
havt Are, af dem, som forblev hjem

Next came another violin solo from
Faust by Mr McKendrick, and the
society sang a closing patriotic chorus.
'A delightful dancing programme fol
lowed, refreshments were served
(about midnight and the celebration
proved so enjoyable that the 17th of

twenty-four hours.

President Parker announced that the
vote would be taken by roll call,-' and-'
--that each member of the council should
respond by mentioning the name of his
choice for county commissioner, but ""
before the clerk began to call the roll :
Aid. Montgomery moved a secret bal
lot. .-, „ :
Aid. Murphy disposed of this by mov
ing, as an amendment, that the roll
be called. The motion prevailed by a
I vote of 12 to 8, Reardon voting "aye."
j Then the clerk called the roll, and
: every Democrat stood by the caucus
j action and voted for W. B. Joyce, who
was . thereupon declared elected. ■ The
j vote was o'nj party lines, 11 to 9.

The election of Mr. Joyce was wit
nessed by quite a; large gathering of
well known politicians and city and
j county officials. .'- '. V
I W. B. Joyce, the new county com
: missioner, was formerly superlntend
! ent of the telephone service in St. Paul.
i He resigned that position some time

nity, bond association. During ftis resi
dence in St. Paul Mr. Joyce has been
an earnest and consistent Democrat,
and has been favorably mentioned for
various offices. This is the first posi
tion of a political character he has
ever filled but he possesses the ability
and character to make a competent
official. That he will be faithful in
discharging his duties no one doubts.

LAYING WATER PIPES.
i Large Mains Being Put Down in
Place of the Old Small Ones. V .„
The water department , is providing:'
additional fire protection -for. the down
town and wholesale districts, this r
j spring by substituting larger water
mains for the four-inch and six-inch
pipe laid some years ago.. "Recently*
the water department laid • a twelve
j inch pipe on Wacouta street, from
j Third to Eighth street in place of the
j four and six-Inch pipe laid- there in
i 1878 and 1883 respectively. The change
was deemed necessary, because of the
j erection in that vicinity of a number
of large buildings, which are equipped

with automatic . fire extinguishers. j
; 'A similar improvement will soon be I
made", on Sixth ' street, from . Wabasha
to Sibley <* street.*".. As soon 'as •' the gas
' company : has 'finished '_ putting in its
new .' mains '* on that street, the , water
department will L proceed- to lay eight
inch pipe in place of the four-inch
pipe, which was laid there twenty-five
; years .ago. The work will .begin within
ten days, and will be completed a, week.
; later.
i There are other down-town -streets
! under '■ which water pipes will be laid
; as soon as the work of repaying them
? begins. They are Wabasha street, from
5 Ninth I street Jto College avenue; St.
' Peter street, from Seventh street to
College avenue, and Third street, from
Seven ( corners to Smith avenue. . The
present six-inch cement pipes, which
were laid under these streets in 1870,
will be replaced with ■ six-inch cast
', iron pipes, which will be laid two
inches deeper, as the regrading of
these streets since 1870 has lowered
their level considerably.
The water department is also en
gaged in ' laying about four miles of
new water pipe under streets that have
hitherto not enjoyed such an improve-;
ment. This work was called for by
the petitions of Interested property
owners. In pursuance of this order,
three crews of men are engaged In

V COMPROMISE LIKELY
In the Matter of the Azotiue Judg
i " ment Against the City.
t The special joint committee to con
sider the claim of the Azotine com
pany against the city for work per
formed by it from July, 1891, to March
1, 1892, which claim is now in the
form of a district court judgment
"against the city for $15,000 with interest
for over three years, met . again yes
terday afternoon and further discussed
the . matter. ; iyjy
The Azotine company was repre
sented by J. D. O'Brien. After going
over the history of the case from
the beginning, the majority of the com
mittee came to the conclusion that.the
city ought to pay a fair price for the
work actually performed by the Azo
tine company, which work the city ac
cepted. Y-Y YY-Y
--; Mr. O'Brien called attention to the
unjust treatment the Azotine company
had been subjected to by the council
after its plant had been burned down.
The ; council not only instructed .the
building inspector not to • permit the
company to rebuild Its plant, but also
refused to designate any -other place
where, it might dispose of the garbage.'
That the burning of. the plant was the
work of an incendiary he did not doubt.
Mr.' O'Brien thought that under the
circumstances the city ought to recog
nize the company's claims for the work .
it did after the plant was destroyed,
inasmuch as the city had accepted that
work.
j Mr. Lewis inquired whether the Azo
tine company had any other terms to
offer besides those of the judgment
which, • with three years' interest at 7
per cent, would amount to about $19,
--000. -. * Y-YYY.Y;; "*■--' >■-'••
; Mr. O'Brien answered that while this
was the first time the question: of a
compromise had ever been mentioned,
he would advise, his clients to accept
a compromise. .
; A,, calculation of the value of the
work performed in the collection of
the garbage from Aug. 1, 1891, to March
1, 1892, | for which work it is admitted
that the company has an equitable
claim, showed it to be $7,840, on the
basis of $11,000 a year, as originally
Contracted for. | As to the work per
formed in the destruction of the gar
bage for a period of seven months,
another ' estimate was made, which
■brought the total up to about $12,000.
• Mr. O'Brien said he would advise
the acceptance of such a proposition
if asked for advice. . .. '.' «
The committee, however, decided to
adjourn until Monday, at 3 p.* m., when
it will either decide to "recommend a
compromise or else an appeal from the :
judgment of the district court. - ; •'

; Alois Fischer et al. have brought
suit to recover from the grand lodge
of the A. O. W. of Minnesota $2,000 in

•the deceased named as beneficiary a
person not related to him in any way,
and that, according to the rules of the
border, such a person would not be en
i titled to the Insurance, but it would
have to go to the widow and orphans.

HARRY BUCK, NINE YEARS.
A Desperate.. Thief Is Salted by
Judge ISff an. ':--!.' :. '
Judge Egan was in one of his moods
for drollery yesterday, and the result
came near proving. disastrous for Stan
Donnelly, assistant county attorney. .
Harry '■' Buck came into court and.
pleaded • guilty to assault in the first
degree for having exercised the priv
ilege of taking a ' shot at Sander John
son while the latter was attempting:
to overhaul him : when he was making
his escape .'after committing a burg
lary. ■ .--. ,- ;. .: " -
F. L. McGhee was attorney for Buck,
and made an . eloquent plea for clem
ency for his client. . While the attorney
■ was making; . his stirring address,
' Judge' Egan:. sat with his head bowed ',
down and a look so sad on his face that
Stan Donnelly thought he was on the
point of bursting into tears. .
"Better had he turned the gun upon
himself and sent his soul Into eternity
after : he =■ had committed the 2rime,",*
shouted Mr. McGhee,' preparing for his
grand peroration, ."than that he should .
be' confined in a prison for a long term
of ( years— doomed to wear - a convict's
garb." '■- v. '-.•*■" **' ■ y_~ ' : y l ; *'„**
The judge's head dropped a notch:
lower, and his face took on a still sad
. der expression— in fact, Stan thought
he could " detect* a . tear stealing out of
the corner of the court's left eye. At
.torney . McGhee, noticing the • apparent
• effect his | words were ; haying ; on „ the .
judge, went " back to repeat his ; last
sentence with still 'greater dramatic
force. > - _f e '-y /

Extracts From Secretary Hart's
v Report for April, ' :
I r The monthly report of the state
•board of corrections and charities for';
I April was issued yesterday. \ The num
ber of inmates of the state Institu- ,
j tions has increased 447 since April 30,
11894," which is exactly the same as the
increase shown a year ago, making a
total increase of 994 for the two years.
| There were present In the' state ' Insti
tutions 5,013 inmates on April 30, 1895.
There has been an increase during the
past year In the population jof every
state institution except the state prison'
and the state reformatory, which j
show a decrease of nine prisoners; but
I this decrease is owing to the discharge
of United States prisoners from other
•states. The prisoners ' belonging to
; Minnesota numbered on ' April . 30.

i mxt /y' ' Street Car ; Line.*' __. J ''_['„:.,
j The' Street Railway company has im
proved its service on the Grand avenue
line. In the first place all Grand ave
nue cars are . running .to Snelling ave
nue—one' mile beyond Lexington and
are, making the round trip in the same
time as that formerly occupied by the
trip to Lexington avenue and - return.
This, .'of j coure, means •. much _ faster
time than of old. The cars run every
ten minutes. From Snelling avenue to
Groveland Park— the : end . of the . line—
a stub car runs every twenty minutes,
thus connecting with every other car,
which now bears a Groveland .Park .
sign. -This change affords 3 the Grove
land Park people a twenty-minute ser
vice in . lieu of the former thirty-min
ute service, and gives the public a ten
minute service to . Snelling avenue in
stead of thirty minutes, with the ad
ditional advantage of faster time for j
the benefit of all patrons of the Grand j
avenue line. •*.'•.:;.■'.'.• ; H .'.'■'

, s When ..the Citizens' bank, of Red

'the? state deposit in that j institution
amounted to $5,699.17. When; Mr. Koer
•ner [took hold of the treasurer's office
he* immediately took steps to protect
the state against loss. He found that
it would be impossible to collect the
amount, except through the bonds
men, who were all good men, and on
the bonds of the bank for the deposit
to the amount of $30,000. To proceed
against them would , have caused the
hank a great deal of trouble, so Mr.
pECoerrier simply required them to give
good approved securities, amounting
to $11,000, in addition to the bond. "In
this way thd state was secured against
all loss. ; ; : Y?YYY : Y'''.' ''i'y

A SIGNIFICANT LESSON DRAWN
By the Preacher to Impress His
< Audience— Last Sermon* To
■j., morrow Evening-. .
'Although Dr. Perren will preach his
last sermon at the First Baptist church
Sunday evening, last night practically
brought to - a close this three weeks
of revival meetings, and the congrega
tion was about the same as that which
greeted the doctor on the first Sunday
evening. YY.
j A sense of deep solemnity pervaded
the house as he spoke on the "Woman
who could not keep her face straigh,"
taking for his text the words of Christ,
"Remember Lot's wife." He urged his
hearers to remember her privileges.
Brought up in the household of a
godly man like Abraham, she was like
many today who are reared in Christ
ian homes, and yet resist the gracious
Influences surrounding them. United
to a godly husband for with all his
faults Lot was a godly man — was
like many an unconverted wife with
a Christian husband, or Christian wife.
with a godless husband. Warned by
angel visitors, she yet was inclined to
doubt her danger and to look back,
a standing warning to those who th'nk
if something strange should happen
them, it would scare them into becom
ing Christians.
].. Then we were to remember her sin;
though even 'angels were hurrying her
from destruction, her heart went back
towards Sodom, and she turned and
looked back 4 and in that moment the
outer edge of the storm caught her,
and we see her doom, which was the
one thing about her we were to re
member. She would not heed the warn
ing and was cut off suddenly,
j So, Dr. Perren warned his hearers,
would they be if they would not heed
the invitation of "mercy, for though
death might find them suddenly, or
slowly, to the one who was not ready
the summons always seemed sudden.
, The impression produced by the ad
dress was deep, and a few of those
who heard it but will "Remember
Lot's wife."
As stated above, Dr. Perren will
preach his last sermon Sunday even
ing, and the ordinance of baptism will
be administered at the close of the
service.
THREE AGAINST CASSIUS.
Grand Jury Makes a Final Report
and Adjourns.
The' grand jury made a final report
yesterday and adjourned until June
17. It returned twelve more indict
ments, only three of which were made
public. These three are against Cas
sius Fitzgerald, charging him with
grand | larceny. One is for . stealing a ■
' bicycle from the German-American
Bank building, another for stealing a
$15 overcoat from E. P. : Bassford in
the Gilfillan block arid the third for
stealing a $30 overcoat from one of the
tenants in the New York Life build
ing. This is the same young fellow
whose father a short time ago sued
Police Officer Lawton for $1,000 dam
ages because he arrested his son and
kept him in jail a few hours for being
mixed up in a scrimmage precipitated
by a lot of . rowdies in the Salvation
Army barracks.
SECRET SOCIETY QUESTION
To Be Discussed Pro and Con at
People's Church.
i A notable platform meeting will be
held tomorrow evening at the People's
church, at which the question of se
cret societies will be discussed in all
its phases. Hon. W.^ H. Eustis, of
Minneapolis, will defend the societies;
Rev. Mr. Johnson, the able Lutheran
divine, will show their evils, and Dr.
Smith will point the inherent dangers
of them. Altogether, it will be an op
portunity for hearing both sides of an
important question.
The Boston Closed Its Doors.
. The query that went the rounds yes
teruuy, u.i co the reason of The Boston
closing its doors, easily answered.
In order to go into the New Store with
a line' of merchandise in keeping with
a new policy determined upon by Mr.
Bowlby, it was necessary to Inaugurate
a sale so great as to clean out every
dollar's worth of goods in the present
house. This meant some work
marking every article in the store.
The prices quoted In the ads In today's
issue tell how prices were cut. Every
article in the house is included, noth
ing reserved. Such standards of ex
cellence never before included in a
sale like this. *
G. A. R. Men in Charge.
! ...
; Adjt Gen. Muehlberg will . issue no
general orders at all in regard to the
participation of the national guard in
Decoration day exercises. Gov. Clough
and staff will attend the exercises in
Minneapolis, and the Grand Army men
will! have full charge of the ceremonies
in the several towns.
j Timber Trespassers Must Settle.
1 State Auditor Dunn, Deputy Auditor
Iverson and ex-Senator Dedon con
ferred together regarding the matter
of cutting timber on lands that still
belong to the , state. The auditor is
going through the evidence submitted
to the pine land committee, and that,
in addition to the information that is
coming into the office all the time, will
enable the state to settle with a num
ber of these trespassers.
