bj Tbngv if Thcj Venture Out
lit Klffht.
Some time ago the Prior avenue
police were relieved of the Fort Snell-
Ing district, at the request <>f Hamline
residents, who demanded more efficient
protection. Since then half :t dozen
outrages have l>r<-ii perpetrated in this
subuib. and tin- police, with much less
territory to cover than before, have
not succeeded in making a Hinj<lp ar
rest. Saturday night. Officer Braak
made a brilliant effort to retrieve the
reputation' of the Midway police. A
party of Hamline students, both young
men and women, were returning from
a Halloween party. One of the boys,
Charles Colh tt, a member of tin- soph
omore class, pave vent to tlb> college
yell. H smote loudly <>n the ears of
Officer Braak. It w;ts nearlj 1! o'clock,
and .- c of tin- residents of Hamline
were asleep. The matter of burglars
breaking into houses, thugs assaulting
lone women on tin- streets, and, pa:
haps, murderous shooting through
windows at occupants of homes and es
caping, did not alter Officer Braak's
estimate of Collett's heinous offense.
The fact that in a college settlement,
where, as a matter of fact, the war
whoop of a band of Comanche Indians
is sweet music compared with what
the residents of such places are accus
tomed to hear, had no consideration
in the policeman's mind, either. A
serious offense, had been committed,
and, in cases where something really
demanded police activity, such as a
college man venting his holiday en
thusiasm in the "varslty"yell, occurred,
the Prior avenue policeman was out to
do his duty. Collett was accompanying
a young woman home, but this did not
deter the officer. The department in
the Midway district may let thugs and
assailants of women escape, but this
young man was thrown into a cell.
Shortly afterward, however, he was
released on $10 bail, and yesterday
morning, when tried in the municipal
court, Judge Twohy ordered his dis
charge. Then the whole Prior avenue
detail might have had something to
do within their established powers, had
they all been present, for young Col
lett and about thirty of his class
mates, who had come down to witness
the trial, adjourned outside the court
room and gave a series of college
yells that may still be reverberating
through the city hall corridors.
If the Midway police would devote
more energy to protecting life and
property than to arresting college boys
who may indulge in what is recogniz* d
in every university center of the coun
try, as almost a necessity, Hamline
women might not fear to walk the
srteets after dark, and mothers and
s might not be shot at through
the windows of their homes. At least
this is a matter of general conviction
among the residents of the suburb.
Colleti and the other members of his
class had been to a Halloween cele
bration to which each had escorted one
of the young women students and go
ing home a rather hilarious spirit
among the company found vent in the
college cry being given several times.
Officer Braak ordered the young peo
ple to cease the demonstration and
when the cry broke out again, he ar- ;
rested Collett for leading it. In court !
the young man Testified that the of- :
fleer had s-tid nothing to him, or that
if he did he had not heard him. Collett
was tlb escort of Miss Hulda Ritter, a
teacher of French and German. Both
led that Officer Braak dashed
itlnng the lino of students and aimed
a blow with his club at the accused
young man. Miss Ritter said she be
lieved, if Mr. Collett had not pushed
her aside, that she would have been
run down by Braak's horse and also
struck by his club, which Collett re- |
d upon his arm, in protecting his
lace. Officer Braak claimed he had
merely touched Collett on the arm
with the club, remarking that his or
der for quiet was meant for every one

id the party. In dismissing the case
Judge Twohy remarked that no specific
charge had been proved against Col
lett, and that, as the young people
were only celebrating a holiday gen
erally conceded to permit of reasona
ble merriment ; he could not consist
ently punish Collett.
The practice of some of the mounted
police to charge their horses at any
one who does not immediately olcy
their orders Is considered by many
a dangerous abuse of authority. Often
the horses trample upon people, and. in
jamming against crowds, badly fright
en women and children. Two weeks
ago Officer Finn, of ihe Prior avenue
station, was detailed, supposedly, to
pres< rye order at a football game at
Macalester. He tore about the cam
pus on his horse like a Cossack, riding
into the crowds of students, and any
one who did not happen to see him
coming was knocked back of the lines
by the policeman's horse. A_t one
stage of the game, a seventeen-year
old bey crossed the field to get a bet
ter view of the game. Finn raced
after him at break-neck speed, and,
after tli" lad had gotten entirely across,
made him retrace bis steps. The boy
started on a run back where he had
been ordered, and Finn took after him
at full gallop. When in th" middle of
the field the policeman, with seeming
deliberation, ran the boy down, riding
his horse directly over him. at full
spet d, and knocking him fifteen feet
in a heap upon the ground. That the'
boy was not seriously hurt was no
fault of Officer Finn's. ::s the fall he
received was as terrific as though he
had been knocked down by a runaway.
The act v.as deliberate and reckless,
but Finn attempted to quiet the angry
protests of the students by claiming
that he "had been asked to keep the
field clear."
ABOUT <;\S LIGHTING.
Council Com in idee Will Consider it
;!.!■• Afternoon.
The joint council committee on gas
will hold a meeting this afternoon at
5 o'clock. The question as to the ap
proval of specifications for lighting the
city with g;-..s and elecitric lights will
be considered. At previous meetings
of the committee it was argued that
considerable money could be saved by
having the city riivid d into several
small districts, especially for the elec
tric lighting. This proposed plan has
brought out a proposition from the St.
P;ail Gas company to the effect that
about 100 additional electric lights
would be furnished by the company
al J84.50 per light, and the 114 lights
now in use would be furnished at the
present price, $69.50. The only provis
ion that the gas company makes is>
thai the 400 gas [amps which will be
displaced by the additional electric
lights, be put in service in other paita
of the city in place of gasoline lamps
now used. An official communication
of the plan outlined i.s expected to be
presented by the company to the com
mittee this afternoon.
The board of aldermen will hold a
regular meeting this evening at 7:30
o'clock. Bids for lighting the 3,000
more or less gasoline lamps for IS9B
will be opened at the meeting.
Tlir mayor and city council have been od
visid bj F. W. M. Cutcbeon, attorney -for
the St. I'aul Gas company, that the company
will not accept the warrant tendered as. pay
ment in full from the city for the period end
ing June 1. The warrant is for $2,701.71 and
the company claims about $700 more 5s due
it. Tho trouble arises over '.he resolution
passed by the council directing the comp
troller to pay no more interest on gas lamps
and pea s which have been displaced by reason
of electric lights being put in. The matter
will also come up at the meeting of the hoard
of aldermen this evening.
WEST SIDE BANK.
Advocates u'f Reorganisation Uvi n
Fifteen Days' ESxtentilon.
Judge Bunn has granted the com
mittee applying for permission to re
organize the West Side Bank, fifteen
(i:.ys further time within which to
comply with the conditions imposed
by the district court. The matter
came before the court yesterday, the
time prescribed for the presentation
of the plan expiring today.
Attorney Ilallam, representing the
reorganization committee, informed
the court that all the conditions had
been complied with except the prepa
rations of the certificates of deposit to
be issued to the creditors, which cer
tificates are to be payable in 12, 15, IS,
21 and 24 months.
In the case of the city to which the
l ank Is Indebted in the sum of $li 4.1 1 00.
the bank's sureties have consented to i
pay over at once approximately $3,000, ;
the amount of the certificate of de
posit due in twenty-four months, the
city to receive the balance as the cer
tificates of deposit due in 12, 15, 18 and
21 months, fall due on the county's |
claim of $9,000. The sum of $2,250 is'to
be paid at once.
The reorganization committee re
ports thai the necessary $25,000 in
cash is on hand. Assignee Staples re- :
ports the total liabilities as $57,446, i
claims allowed. $76,0,"1 : disallowed, I
$11,128. The assignee asks for an al
lowance of $1,250, and his attorney,
J. V. I. Dodd asks for $1,000.

VISABILITY OF MANAGING THE
AMUSEMENTS ITSELF.
THIS YEAR'S ATTRACTIONS
WEARIED THE MEMBERS OF
THEIR CONTRACT WITH THE
STREET RAILWAY CO.
ADDITION TO THE PAVILION.
New Amphitheater to Be Built With
a Sfiitins' Capacity of About
1,600.
The question of privileges at Como
i park for the season of 1898 was dis
' cussed at length at a. meeting of the
I park board last evening. For the past
three years the street railway company
i have had control of all the privileges
i by reason of a contract with the park
! board, paying $1,000 for the first year,
I $1,500 the second, and ?2,000 the third.
• Under this agreement the company has
furnished the music and lights and had
! the privileges of the pavilion and boats,
i President Wheelock voiced the senti
\ ments of the other members of the
! board in the statement made that
during the past season the company
had shamefully imposed on the board
; and the St. Paul public by advertising
events which were not carried out. and
if they were, savored much of "fakes."
Hi? idea was that the board should
, have more control of the attractions at
; ' the park. Thousands of persons who
had attended the park during the sum
-1 ■ mer had been under the impression
I that the park board was responsible
| for the failures in the way of attrac
• tions, at least so advertised.
j Commissioner Allen paid the com
-1 j pany had given the people nothing for
I their money and once or twice he had
j gone to the park to see fireworks, but
I had been unable to see anything but a
i few sky-rockets. Commissioner Aberle
j figured it out that the board could do
i much better by the public by taking
I charge of the privileges. The music,
j he figured, including four concerts per
week, could be furnished during the
1 season for $2,500. The electric lights,
even if it was necessary to pay the
street car company full price for them,
\ would not exceed $2,800, and the help
! necessary to take charge of the boats
| would be another $500, making a total
i of $S.BOO expenses for the season. The
: boating privilege, according to the
j statement of Superintendent Nuss
j baumer, if properly handled, would
net about $6,000, and, with $2,000 re
ceived from the pale of privileges at
the pavilion, would leave a handsome
balance over all expenses. There was
no question, Mr. Aberle said, but that
the concerts would be a great improve
ment on the ones given last summer,
and even if no money was made the
board would have the satisfaction of
doing something for the general pub
j lie.
The contract with the street rail
; way company does not expire until
i March, and it was stated by one of the
members of the board that from the
talk made by the street, railway peo
i pie they intended to come in and say
i that the venture had been a losing one
' during the past summer. The opinion
! of the board was that it should assume
j full control of the privileges at the
j park for next season and a resolution
I to that effect was introduced by Com
' missioner Allen. The resolution was,
however, laid on the table to be taken
jup for action at a future meeting.
! Superintendent Xussbaumer presented
; plans and specifications for increasing
! the seating capacity of the pavilion.
j The plan proposed is to build an addi
! tion to the present platform, the full
! length of the pavilion. This will be an
1 apron-like affair, and will project
| thirty-two feet into the lake, the addi
j tion to be in ampitheater style, the
; front to be about four feet above the j
I water. This will accommodate about
1.600 persons and will increase the
I seating capacity of tiie pavilion to j
2,500. The cost of the improvement is j
estimated at $1,647.
The board discussed in an informal j
I way the question of allowing the street
I railway company to run a line through :
the park. Superintendent Nussbaumer i
was directed to prepare a profile show- •
ing the proposed route to be taken, the
line to avoid the surface crossing of
the park roads.
A resolution was passed requesting
the council to pass an ordinance direct
ing the telephone and telegraph com
panies to remove the poles and wires
! from Como avenue parkway between j
• Front and Union streets. This action ;
! was taken on a recommendation of
Superintendent Nussbaumer, who ad
vised that the trees were being in
jured by reason of the wires.
The superintendent also reported
I that the pump purchased from the
j water board had been removed from
I McCarron's lake and set up in the park
j at an expense of $521.55, which amount \
was $943 less than the lowest bid re- |
ceived for doing the work. The pay j
I roll for men and teams employed dur- I
! ing October, amounting to $2,325.43, was j
■ allowed, as was also a budget of bills
aggregating $149.23.
DEEDS OF COUNTY FATHERS.
! Several Matters of Detail Disposed i
of Yesterday.
The board of county commissioners
after investigating the matter of the
j claim of McCarthy and Donnelly, who {
j put in a bill for $50 for securing the i
< Ik dy of John Gerlach from the Missis
sippi river and for interring it in Cal- !
vary cemetery, decided yesterday to j
disallow the bill. The committee on
claims reported that there was no ne- !
ceesity for hiring six men and a launch i
j to recover the body from the water.
The board also disallowed a bill of j
! George N. Hillman, court stenographer, !
I amounting to $24.42 for work done in j
I transcribing certain testimony at the
\ request of the county attorney.
It was reported to the board that
; George Schiller had failed to pay $10
j a month toward the support of his
; mother, as directed. The board in
structed the county attorney to at once
begin proceedings to compel Schiller to
make the required payments.
Resolutions were adopted directing
the county attorney to institute pro
ceedings to compel the Soo line to put
its Rice street and Crosby road cross
ings in good condition for travel. A
resolution was also adopted requesting
the Wisconsin Central to construct a
steel bridge over its right of way at
Aicade street.
The contract for heating and light
ing the county jail for the three years
beginning Dec. 24, 1897, was awarded
to the St. Paul Gas and Electric Light
company at the price of $25 a month.

He first gave the name of Patrick Burke,
living on Jessamine street, St. Paul, but
afterwards refused to disclose his identity
even to Father Barney, for whom he had
sent. He was apparently about five feet ten

He was poorly dressed and had no effects,

AROIND THE HOTELS.
Several Alunka Miners at the Her
chants—Personal.
A. Buckley, a returned miner from
Alaska, was* the center of arf interest
ed group at the Merchants' yesterday.
Mr. Buckley spent five years in the
frozen country, cradling goid at Forty
Mile with fair success, and brought
clown several thousand dollars in dust
besides which he so.d his claim for $20,
--000. He will spend the winter in the
.East and proposed to go back in the
spring, to prospect in the Klondike
countiy.
Mr. Buckley is just recovering from
an attack of scurvy, that dread di-
Be&se caused by an absence of fresh
■\egetables. He" was hist affected by
it early in the summer, and it mani
fested "itself by a swelling of the gums
and loosening of the teeth. His mouth
became sore, his lips swollen and glued
together, and h-is fctomach was "out of
sorts." Now it is confined to his left
leg. which is puffed out as though with
the dropsy. The chs.ase had some littie
run in the mining districts last sum
mer, and two men who were brought
down to Seattlei, suffering from it, ditd
in the hospital there.
Mr. Buckley says that most of the
claims near Dawson City and Forty
Mile are already taken up. but there j
will be a big influx of miners there next
spring, and there is plenty of room yet
for prospectors.
* • •
"Not every mine, in Alaska comes
home rich," said Samuel Ofoerwager, of
Rampart City, Alaska, of whom men
tion was rrmcle.in yesterday's Globe.
"There are men who have actually i
been delving for gold there a score of
years and they make barely enough to
buy their food and whisky.
"A man who takes out less than ,>8
a day is not making expenses, bur most
claims, anywhere in Alaska, will pan
out at least twice that. You see the
digging can only be done during the
winter. A fire is built on the ground
and thaws the earth to the depth of j
a foot or eighteen inches. This is then '
excavated and another fire kindled. !
The dirt is thrown out to one side and
when the streams open in the summer,
it is washed out. If any attempt at j
digging was made in the summer, the
water would run into the shaft and pre
vent work.
"Some old miners only work a couple
Of months in the year, wa-hi: g out the
Fand deposited on the bars on the Yu
kon, and will deter up $1,200 to $1,500; 1
which will buy their provisions and j
liquor for the rest of the year, while
they are unable to work on the bars —
and they are content to live in idleness.
You occasionally s?e some old min< rs
whose frames are bent with toil — and
mining is the hardest work I know of— I
who actually hav^ hardly enough
money to get out of the country."
Both Mr. Oberwager and his "part
ner," George Thomas, are enthusiastic i
over the gold mining future of Alaska !
and think that the Minook country, j
where they were located, will rival the
Klondike. They say the urgent neees- j
sity in developing all that country is
for better transportation facilities,
which will in turn, afford greater abun
dance ofprovi.sior.s. Ti:e Mlnook coun
try is in Uncle Sam's domain, and th>-y ■
hope it will be filled up by American j
miners.

The Merchants' was a miners' headquarters !
yesterday. Cripple Creek was represented by ,
\V. B. Thompson, who has spent a couple
of "years there, but lip announces hl.s inten- I
tion of going to Alaska next s>rins.
Halvor Stor-nrrson. of Cror'#Dn, was in j
the city yesterday. In rr<-av;l 'co the fight ,
against the Anderson railroad land tax bill, i
he said:
"I presume the case will go to the Un : ted
States supreme court. I have no fears oft the '
decision being sustained on the point of the j
vote by Frank A. Day, but there may be |
some question as to the effect of the law on !
the gross earnings :ax. If it is hr'd that the •
gross earnings tax is such a contract ;is the
law to tax lands eonflicta with, it is possible j
that the legislature may deem it wise to re
peal the gross earnings law. I am not sure
that it would not bo better to tax lpnds and
other property and repeal the gross earnings !
tax as applied to al! roads. I think the state j
would be the gainer."

STATE BOARD OF CORRECTIONS
AND CHARITIES IS ANXIOUS
BIT HELPLESS.
FAIRFAX HORROR AWAKENS
THE AUTHORITIES TO THE SHORT
COMINGS OF THESE INSTITU
TIONS IN MINNESOTA.
NO PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
Is Given to Prisoners In Many of
the Smaller Communities
Throughout the State.
The burning of a prisoner in the lock
up at Fairfax, Renville county, Satur
day, has revived consideration of the
care which is taken of minor offenders
in the smaller communities of the state,
which is conceded by those who have
made special investigation of it a dis
grace to a state which makes the pre
tensions to advancement along human
itarian lintfs that Minnesota does, and
not without reason in some lines.
The supervision of the lockups of the
state Is given by the law to the state j
! board of corrections and charities, but J
yesterday afternoon Secretary Hart j
| had not received any information j
officially of the affair of Saturday.
It was no surprise at the department,
however, when the news of the catas- j
trophe was read in the newspapers, as
i the Fairfax lockup was on the "blaek
| list," so to speak.
While a personal visitation of every
lockup in the state is a practical im
possibility, with the present staff of j
the board, yet annual reports are se- j
j cured through the local health officers,
! and a canvass of such reports as they
I are on fiie in the office of the secretary !
i at the capitol shows a terrible condi- i
! tion of things in many of the smaller ]
! communities in the stnte. Between |
! vermin and fire in the village lockups, !
bad sanitation in county jails, and
i brutal assaults at the state prison, the j
state of Minnesota seems to be devot- j
ing itself to a demonstration of the ;
; scriptural averment that "the way of
the transgressor is hard."
The state board of corrections and
! charities has urged that no new lock- !
! ups be permitted unless fireproof, but
i its suggestion has not been enthusias
tic-ally supported, and the condition of
the lockups of the state is shown by
the- last annual report to be very bad,
especially as to protection from lire.
This- report shows that out of over
200 lockups in the state, barely a dozen
are fireproof, and the plairi drunk or
other petty criminal who chanced to be
imprisoned for a night ia left in the
I ( thera with small protection against
lire. Two-thirds of these lockups are
of wood, and ten of the seventy-five |
I that are of brick or stone, are in the ;
Twin Cities, being the precinct police j
stations. Fires are not infrequent. >
I South Stillwater ;:nd Merritt St. Louis ;
; county, wore both visited by lockup
! flies during the term of that last re
i port.
The same document describes the j
Fail fax lockup at Fairfax, in which j
| Theodore Edwin lost his life as follows: '
Wood, built in 1883, cost $200, two 6x3 j
; cells. caßaeity, four: largest number in- !
j mates n corded, three; wooden bedstead ;
! with blankets and quilts, bedding ;
! washed as often as dirty and lockup I
scrubbed once in six months."
The reports of the health officers are
frequently very unflattering. While

Secretary Hart referred in strong i
terms to the subject in an address at ;
St. Cloud Sunday night, where he
caused something of a sensation by di- i
gri ssing long enough from his subject
to administer a very severe rebuke to
the Steam.' county commissioners tor

he said, "and the conditions here are
Just right for more in case of a fire.
The jail is not fireproof nor is it prop
erly ventilated. We talk about the
Mack hole of Calcutta and the terrors
of the prisons of Siberia, but I have
never ref.d anything that looked to me
as bad as this jail has been. Then
is some improvement now but th-
county jail is still a nuisance."
The subject of jails and lock-ups will
| be discussed by Secretary Hart in a
paper at the sixth annual conference
of corrections and charities, which will
be held at St. Cloud beginning tomor
row evening.
FREIGHT 11V ELECTRICITY.
Assembly Committee Recommends
Passage of iCeimy's Ordinance.
The meeting of the assembly com
mittee on streets, scheduled for yes
terday afternoon, did not materialize.
Messrs. Albrecht and Dix sat around
the committee room for half an hour,
and then left. In the meantime
Messrs. Thompson and Kirk were con- '
suiting with Mayor Doran as to the
action the committee and the assem- j
My should take on the resolution in
troduced by Aid. Kenny and pa
by that body. The resolution called
attention to the fact that the streel
railway company was operating cars '
on its electric lines for the purpose .
of (arrying freight and material, while
the ordinance, No. 1227, under which
the lines are operated, provided that
"all cars running on said lines of rail- !
way shall be used only for carrying
passengers." The resolution was pass
ed in the board of aldermen by a vote
of 6 to 4, those opposing it being Al
dermen Bell, Larson. Shepard and Al
lard. The argument of those who op
posed the resolution in the b tard was
that the company had the right to use
its lines for the purpose of hauling i
material used in the repair or con- j
Btruction of its tracks.
Aid. Kenny, however, stated that
the company was not confining its ,
work to material used in building <
tracks, but was carrying coal and pav
ing stones. The mayor, as well as
Assemblymen Thompson and Klrke,
were inclined to the opinion that the
company might have the right to haul
material used over its lines, and Ques
tioned the advisability of having the
resolution passed. Some one of the
trio suggested that the legal depart
ment had better be interviewed on the
matter, and an adjournment was tak
en to the office of Corporation Attor
ney Markham. That official read the
section quoted above from the ordi
nance, and stated that to him it ap
peared as though it was quite ex-
