TO REJEGT ALL BIDS
ALDERMEN APPROVE THK REC
OMMENDATION Or THR COM
MITTEE OX GAS.
J. J. PARKER'S OFFER DID IT.
THE COMPANY HE REPRESENTS
AGREES TO DO THE GASOLINE
LIGHTING
LOWER THAN ANY OTHER BIDDER
CompetittOß Will Result in a Sav
ing to the City— Carbon Com.
--■'iiy May Not Hid .\*4«i«.
It looks now as though the city
wculd save about $10,000 in the cost
of its gasoline lighting for IS9B, as
compared with the current year. The
board of aldermen at its meeting last
night approved the recommendation
of the joint committee on gas, reject
ed the three bids for gasoline light
ing and directed the city clerk to re
advertise for proposals. The city is
now paying 98M- cents per lamp per
month, and when the bids recently ad
vertised for were opened the Carbon
Light & Power Co., was found to be
the lowest bidder agreeing to do the
lighting for 77 cents per lamp per
month. There was some talk about
allowing an outside company to come
in and carry off the contract, especial
ly as ther.fi was only $1,000 difference
between the bid of the home concern
and the lowest bidder. As a result of
the delay In the award of the con
tract, ex-Assemblyman J. J. Parker
came before the joint committee on
gas, to whom the bids had been re
ferred and proposed that if the city
should see fit to readvertise he would
guarantee that the concern be repre
sented would put in a bid even lower
than had been submitted. Each of the
members of the board of aldermen
and assembly, with one or two ex
ceptions, forthwith became, or at least
said so, deeoly interested in getting
the lighting done for the lowest pos
sible figure, and the plan to readver
tise was agreed upon. The assembly
will, It is claimed, concur in the action
of the board of aldermen at its meet
ing this evening.
All the members of the board were
present at the session last night and
Vice President Allard occupied the
chair.
The report of the joint committee on
gas was to the effect that all bids be
rejected, providing J. J. Parker would
submit a bond in the sum of $8,000
that the concern he represented would,
in case of a readvertisement, put in a
bid at figures lower than the lowest
had now submitted.
Mr. Shepard moved the report of the
committee be accepted and adopted,
and Mr. Stutzman seconded the mo
tion. Mr. Kaldunskl was not in favor
of fixing things so as to give a favored
contractor another chance. Mr. Stutz
man thought the bids secured were
unreasonable. He had investigated and
satisfied himself that the work could
be done much cheaper than at the
present bids, and for this reason was in
favor of read vertisi **»•]*.
Mr. Shepard wanted to hear the sure
ties on the bond submitted by Mr.
Parker read. The clerk stated that the
bond had been approved by the cor
poration attorney, but had not yet been
signed by that official. The sureties
l on the bond were J. B. Tarbox, E. B.
Smith and J. J. Parker.
Mr. Parker said he did not go be
fore the .committee on gas and ask
that bids be readvertised for. The firm
he represented was prepared to put in
a bid and at a lower figure than the
lowest bid received. He had been in-
I formed that if he put up a bond for
$S.OOO to guarantee his proposition, he
would get a chance to bid He had
submitted the bond and the sureties
were good. The name of the concern
he represented was of little moment
at this time. He was certain that if
the council should readvertise, the city
could save money.
Corporation Attorney Markham said
the counsel had the right to reject all
bids and readvertise, but, in his opin
ion, the council had no authority lo
accept such a bond. There was no
provision under the charter by which
the council could accept the bond, and
he had suggested that Mr. Parker
withdraw the bond and put in its place
a certified check for a reasonable
amount.
Mr. Parker, on the suggestion of Mr.
Markham, withdrew the bond and
handed the city clerk a certified check
on the Merchants' National bank for
| $2,500. This, he said, would be further
i testimony that he was willing to make
: good his proposition. The roll call on
the adoption of the report of the com
mittee showed all of the nine mem
bers present in favor of the plan.
On motion of Mr. Sanborn, ihe bond
furnished by Mr. Parker was rejected
and the certified check for $2,500, pay
able to the city treasurer, accepted.
With the check was the following com
i munication:
The accompanying cashier's check is here
with deposited with the city clerk as security
for the faithful performance of the condi
tions contained in a bond executed by me as
principal, and J. B. Tarbox and E. B. Smith
as -sureties to the city of St. Paul. Iv case
said conditions are not fully complied with,
said check is to be delivered to the city treas
urer and the same shall be the property of
the city of St. Paul, but if said conditions
be complied with, tho check Is to be re
iui!;ed to me. —J. j. Parker.
A resolution directing the city clerk
to readvertise for bids was passed by
THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1897.
a unanimous vote, and the board ad
journed.
D. J. Prendergast, representing the
Carbon Light and Power company,
was an interested spectator at the
meeting. Seen after the board ad
journed, Mr. Prendergast said he was
not prepared to say whether his firm
would submit another bid. He was
of the opinion that the firm had not
been given fair play in the matter.
The company had put in a proposal
for doing the lighting, which \vas about
$7,000 less than the amount now paid
for the same service. Instead of be
ing awarded tire contract, the council
had rejected all bids and readvertisfid.
He suggested that perhaps as good a
way as any for him to do would be
to wait until after the new bid called
for was opened, and then go before
the council and agree, if a third ad
vertisement was published, that he
would under-bid the lowcf.-st figure.
One thing Mr. Prendergast said his
company was doing, and that was sav
ing the taxpayers of St. Paul several
thousand dollars, which he thought
should be appreciated.
Charles A. Pettingill, representing
the American Development company,
which now has the contract, stated
that the company would submit anoth
er bid.

WAITIJiG FOR HORST
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE OS WAYS
AND MEANS TALKS OVER CITY
DEPOSITS.
MINNESOTA SAVINGS BANK
PRECIPITATES A FIZZLING PROB
LEM OX THE COUNCIL AND
OTHER OFFICIALS.
BONDSMEN WOULD BE CLE AB.
They Claim the Fact That tlie De
posfi Exceeded Charter Lim
itation* Relieve* Them.
The proposition of the sureties on the
bond given to the city by the Minne
sota Savings bank was considered by
the ways and means committee of the
assembly yesterday. The bond is in
the sum of $20,000, with H. L. Schade,
George J. Mitsch, L,. I. Casserly,
Charles E. Chapel, Fred C. Stevens
and Thomas F. Conroy as sureties.
The proposition made by the sureties
is to pay the city $2,633 in full of all
claims. The contention of the bonds
men is that the city treasurer had no
authority under the charter to deposit
a larger sum than the assessed capital
stock of the bank, which was $2,500.
This amount and interest the sureties
are willing to pay providing they be
released on the bond.
E. E. McDonald informed the com
mittee that the $10,000 claimed to have
been deposited in the Minnesota Sav
ings bank, was, as a matter of fact,
deposited in the Allemannia bank. As
to whether it had ever passed through
the Minnesota Savings bank he was
not prepared to say. It was a ques
tion if the Minnesota Savings bank
had a right to issue any stock, but as
it had issued stock the sureties on the
bond would hold themselves liable for
a sum equal to the maximum amount
that under the charter could be de
posited. The acceptance of the propo
sition would not, Mr. McDonald
claimed, violate the claim of the city
against the bank and stockholders for
the balance.
Nearly all the sureties on the bond
were insolvent and were not respon
sible even if judgments were taken
against them.
Mr. Markham did not want to make
any recommendation in the matter.
He thought it was a very serious ques
tion if the city could collect, even if
a judgme nt was secured against them.
As far as he could learn, not more
than two or three of the bondsmen
were in a position where a judgment
would be of any practical good. He
advised that, if the matter was set
tled on the proposition made by the
bondsmen and the $2,633 accepted by
the city in full of all claims, it would
relieve the city treasurer from all re
sponsibility in connection with the al
leged illegal deposit of the $7,500. He
held that the bond was a good one, so
far as the sureties were concerned,
even admitting that the city treasurer
had placed more money in the bank
than the charter provided. The bonds
men for the city treasurer would be
liable, if the treasurer had exceeded
his authority, but there was a question
about this. The city council had des
ignated the Minnesota Savings bank
as one of the depositories for city
funds. It was possible that the city
treasurer, under the resolution of the
council, would claim that he had not
exceeded his authority in putting the
amount in the bank. The principal
question to be settled was, would City
Treasurer Horst and his bondsmen
consent to the proposed settlement
without relieving him or his bondsmen
from any liability in the matter.
Mr. McDonald said he would consult
with Mr. Horst and his bondsmen, and
the committee laid the matter over,
pending the result of the conference
between Mr. McDonald and the city
treasurer.
HAS A XEW CORPORAL.
Company D's Weekly Drill More
Eventful Than I sua!.
The regular weekly drill of Company
D, First infantry, N. G. S. M.. held at
the Sixth street armory last evening,
was of more than ordinary interest,
and largely attended. The company
having been divided into squads and
drilled in certain movements r.*ncer
direction of the non-commissioned ( f
flcers for some little time, the com
pany was again assembled and drilled
in the school of the company. Before
the company was dismissed, Capt.
Bean announced the appointment of
Harry V. Knocke as corporal, to fill
a vacancy In the non-commissioned
staff of the company, the appointment
being concurred in by the entire com
pany, in a most hearty manner. Cor
poral Knocke enlisted in Company D
Jan. 5, 1593, and has participated in all
of the drills and excursions taken by
the company since his enlistment.
Company D will attend the benefit to
be tendered Miss Florence Marie n Pace
next Tuesday evening at th* 'J-*ntrai
Presbyterian church, Miss Pace having
participated in the benefit tendered
Company D last June, previous t.*> the
departure of the company for the
South. Company D will visit Chicago
next February, an invitation having
been extended by Company M, First
infantry, Illinois national guard, or
"Switzer's Indians," as the company is
known, to visit Chicago as their guests.
Coir pany M is the Company D
of the Illinois national guard, and it
is needless to say that Capt. Bean and
his men will be entertained most roy
ally while in the city by Lake Michi
gan. The Company D quartette sang
a number of their original songs in a
particularly happy manner last even
ing. Messrs. Allen, Bookstaver, Bach
and Hinninger compose the quartette,
and that their music was appreciated
was evidenced by the hearty applause
which foliewed each selection. Col. W.
W. Price, Capt. W. H. Hart and Capt.
Frank B. McCoy, the latter of the
regular army, detailed as inspector of
the Minnesota national guard, wit
nessed the drill last evening.
MAY RE-ELECT THEM.
Solution of the Kirke-Larson Cit
izenship nillioultlcH.
She securing of second patters by Assembly
man Kirke and Aid. Larson within tbe last
few days has raised the^ question as to
whether these gentlemen cjm legally occupy
their positions in the 'council. It is claimed
that under" the new law a person is not eligi
ble to vote unless he nas secured his second
papers at least ninety' days before an elec
tion. This provision, it is argued, would ap
ply to both Laraon and Kirke, as at the
present time they are not voters, although
both are members of the council, and are al
lowed to vote on matters bf public Impor
tance. The decision of the supreme court is
the Banholzer assembly case is quoted to
explain another point jnade. The court he-Id
that any 'voter was eligible to hold an effiue
for -which he could vote, irrespective of his
residence. If, it is claimed, neither Larson
nor Kirke are eligible.to vote, they are not
eligible to hold their positions in the council,
and will not be until I the ninety days have
elapsed from the time of the taking out of
their second rapers. An attorney, ih speak
ing of the matter last night, suggested that
a good way to settle the matter would be
to have the assembly, as soon as the ninety
days had elapsed, in tha case of Kirke, hold
a meeting and elect him to the position. The
same plan, he --aid. could be followed by the
bosid of aldermen, in the case of Larson.
It is claimed by one ."<lde that the constitu
tion supersedes all existing legal conditions.
If es amended it dees away with offices, or
I i-quir-s qualifications of those holding cf-
Ifice not required at tho time of their election,
it must bo given full force and effect. If it

person holding an elective offlce must have

A person not having such qualification now,
although qualified at the time of his election,
becomes disqualified, a vacancy ensuing the
same as in case of death or other disepiali
fication.
Tbe constitution is the supreme law, and
wipes out all preceding conditions; it 3 oper
ation depends upon nothing preceding it.
Hence a person elected to the assembly who
had not taken out his second papers is oy
the oporation of the constitution disqualified
to hold his offlce. He must be a full citizen
for three mouths to have the qualification of
an acting legally qualified assemblyman.
ANALYSIS NOT COMPLETE.
Inquiry Into tlie Dupre-Capist rant
Case Continues.
There were no new developments in the
Dupre-Capistrant poisoning case yesterday,
as those making the analysis of the suspected
sausage and the stomachs of the dead men,
have not progressed far enough to render
their reports. The bacteriological department
at the state university is engaged in a portion
of the investigation and it may be a week
before its results will be known. Dr. Perk
ins, of the health department, is continuing
his inquiries. The bodies of the dead young
men have been taken to Centervillo for bur
ial. Coroner Nelson Is sr* ill pursuing his in
vestigations and will endeavor to ascertain
if sickness followed the eating of sausage
by anyone else.
FIVE DEER AND A BEAR.
Oilieer Call Went After Big* Game
and Got It.
Andrew Call— "Big Andy," the stal
wart police officer on duty at the union
station — returned yesterday from a
hunting trip of ten days, at the
northern part of Lower Tamarac.
While there he stopped at Keene's and
Nelson's logging camps. During this
short period he, alone and unaided,
killed five deer and one black bear;
he could have slaughtered much more,
he says, but it seemed wicked to do
so.
The bear gave him a hard fight,
after being wounded, attacking him
savagely, and had Andy not been ex
ceedingly active and muscular there
might have been a vacancy on the St.
Paul police force.
MONUMENT AT LAKEWOOD.
State Officials Will Not Oppose Hen
nepin Soldiers.
A delegation of Minneapolis Grand
Army men. headed by Capt. H. H.
Kelly and ex-Aid. Herman Vogt, wait
ed on Gov. Clough and State Auditor
Dunn yesterday to see what could be
done to make available at once the
$5,000 set apart by the legislature of
1893 for a soldiers' monument on the
burial lot at Lakewood. The legisla
ture set the $5,000 apart conditionally,
the old soldiers of Hennepin county
agreeing to add $15,000 to it, and so
provide for a monument to cost $20,000.
Almost five years have gone by, and the
$15,000 is still uncollected. The old
soldiers have about made up their
minds that the best they can do at
present is to duplicate the state's ap
propriation, making a fund of $10,000
in all. And in addition they are begin
ning to think that to expend $20,000 for
a monument would be unwarranted ex
travagance in these times. Ten thou
sand dollars will provide one that will
fully answer the purpose.
The governor, who was seen first,
said that the state auditor was the man
who had charge of the $5,000. If the
auditor would issue his warrant for the
amount, that would settle the matter.
Auditor Dunn said that if the old sol
ditrs of Hennepin county were willing
to add $5,000 to the $5,000 set apart by
the legislature, and thought these sums
would give them such a monument as
they wanted, he would interpose no
technical objections, but would issue
the warrant whenever requested to do
so.
Gov. Clough thinks that $10,000 will
build a very fine monument. "The state
of Minnesota," he said yesterday, "has
expended $19,000 for two monuments on
the field of Gettysburg commemorative
of the gallantry of the old First regi
ment. They are a credit to the state
in every way, and the larger one com
pares very favorably with the other
monuments on the battlefield, some 400
in number.
IN PRINTING CRAFTS.
Machinery Said to Have Increased
Chances for Employment.
Labor Commissioner Powers, at the
rt quest of some of the state organiza
tions, has been investigating the ques
tion as to whether machinery is de
creasing the opportunities for employ
ment by men and women in the allied
printing trades.
He has taken up the statistics from
1850 to 1895, inclusive.
The statistics include typesetters,
pressmen, bookbinders, electroplaters,
papermakers, lithographers, publish
ers and writers, and he finds that in
1850 there were 25.426 males over fifteen
years of age, out of a population of
28 191,876. employed in these occupa
tions.' This meant one for every 912.10
persons in the country.
In 1870 the poulation was 38,558.371,
and the number of printers was 63,599,
one for every 607.8 people in the coun
try; the population had increased in
th» 'twenty years 66.3 per cent and the
number of employes in this line had
ircreased 150.1 per cent.
In 1890 the population was 62,622,250,
an increase of 62.4 per cent over 1870.
The number of printers was 175,277, an
increase of 175.6 per cent over 1870.
In 1890 there was one person for every
35i*.3 neople employed in the allied
trades; as a result a man stood 1.7
greater chance of securing employ
ment in this line in 1890 than in IS7O,
and 2.55 better chance than in 1850.
From 1850 to 1890 the population of
the country had Increased 170 per cent,
and the number of people in this call
ing had been increased 589.4.
DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.
One in the Fourth Ward aud One in
the Fifth.
A meeting of the Filth Ward Democrats
was held at West Seventh and Randolph
streets last night for the purpose of taking
steps to secure the naturalization of the
voters in that ward. Owing to the short no
tice of the meeting, tho fourteen precincts
of the ward were not sufficiently represented
to select the precinct committees that are
to attend to the work. Some appointments
were made, aud the Hat will be completed
at a meeting to be held about the middle
of next week at a more central location in
the ward.
J. C. Michael and John Ivc3 addressed tho
meeting.

The Fourth Ward Democratic club met

men reported the list of names for naturaliza
tion from the various precincts ot the ward,

O. B. Robertson and J. B. Pewters was ap
pointed to ascertain what evenings the judges
of tho district court could give for that pur
pose. Meetings of the club will probably
be held hereafter in the Pfeiffer block hallo,

VAl.l VKI.E ADDITION
To Be Built at the South St. Paul
Yards.
The lease giving William McCormick
the Beigman building and ground for
an abbatoir at South St. Paul, was
signed yesterday. Mr. McCormick will
spend about $7,000 in building a modern
and convenient house for the slaughte-r
of cattle, hogs and sheep, and besides
his own business, will slaughter for
other city wholesalers. The bull rooms
will have a holding capacity of about
300 cattle, besides what hogs and sheep
will be needed in the course of business.
Most of the custom slaughtering is
done at Swift's and Staples & King's,
but those concerns frequently are
crowded with their own business. The
iraprovemvnt is a valuable addition to
the already growing business at 2*511111
St. Paul.
ARMY NEWS.
The change of station of the First In
fantry with the Seventh shows that tho regi
ment stationed at one post the longest is
n»t always considered, which i.s accounted
for on the ground that no change is wanted
by the regiment. The Fourteenth Infantry
Ims been stationed at Van Couver. Wash.,
since 18S4. and there is no liklfhuod that it
will be moved for some time to come. The
Fir-it Infantry has been in California since
1886 and the Seventh since 1889 in Colorado.
The report in circulation that Quarter
master General George 11. Weeks prc-pose3 to
retire two months before he reaches his re
tirement age to give candidates for tho place

will not retire until he reaches the age of
64 years, which will be next February.
