President Folwell. of the park board, is op posed to the action of the charter commis sion in taking from the park board the right to purchase and condemn land.

The material and parts for the new organ of Westminster church have arrived, and the workmen are busy night and day putting tlie parts together.

Judge Lancaster was pres?nted with a ra*h:r peculiar proposition yesterday and one that he favored so little that he refused to hear It, and struck the matter from the day's calendar. It was an action for divorce, brought by Arthur E. Clyde against Emma C. Clyde, for desertion. According to the complaint the couple were wedded at Merriam Park, but never lived together a day, both agreeing to live apart for a time, after which the wife would not come to live with her husband. He claimed that she has refused to do so. When the ease came up for hearing the plaintiff did not put in an appearance, but the defendant, who had not answered, was there to testify on behalf of the plaintiff. This was an unheard of thing and the court would not hear testi mony. In vain the attorney insisted that she had been subpoenaed. It looked too much like collusion, and the could would not hear the case. Dividend for Creditors. The Bank of New England creditors will be permitted to present their little claims and receive 25 per cent of their losses in good, cold cash, just as soon as they can get to the office of C. H.

Among many other suggestions that he made as necessary for the advancement of Christianity, the evange list advised the local Christian workers that Bible study should be instituted in a city of this size and prominence. The Bible con ference has taken the matter up In earnest, and its executive committee held a meeting in the parlors of the First Baptist church this week. The committee decided to push the Bible study scheme .to the very front and force It Into the attention of the peo ple. They are acting to a certain extent upon the experiments made in Chicago with the Bible classes recently started. Greek Girls Dance.

ALLEN'S mCunq balsam SURPRISE FOR WETS REFORM ELEMENT IN THE COUN CIL DEVELOP A MA JORITY. NO LICENSE FOR RESORTS. HORTICULTURISTS COMPLETE THE "WORK OF CONVENTION AND ADJOURN. DURNAM MAKES HIS CLAIMS. Sixteen ReaHOiiH "Why He Thinks He Should Have a New Trial. The saloon element in the city coun cil was bowled over last night, after a hot fight to a finish. The "wet" forces had come prepared to conquer, and had given it out cold that they would fight it out and win on the Sorenson applica tion. When the smoke cleared away they were astonished at their own sur prise. The fight came on when the report of the committee on licenses was read, and the reading precipitated a contest that had all the appearance of a na tional issue, instead of the matter of one license to a rum seller. The ma jority report of the committee, signed by the committee, reported against the issuing of a license to Joseph Kelliher and Andrew Sorenson. A minority re port, signed by Aid. Long and Dwyer, favored the license. When Clerk Lyd iard called time Aid. Long was on his feet demanding a reason for the ma jority report. Aid. Webster, in a dig nified manner, explained that, while he liked to become jovial himself once in a while, he insisted that the youth of the city have the cloak of protec tion thrown about them. It was not proper to have the council Issue a new license where one had been revoked. "I don't believe there is an honest liquor seller in Minneapolis," said he, "who doesn't think as I do. We want to weed out those who are unworthy." Aid. Long arose and fought nobly for the cause. He talked quite a length of time. He led the liquor forces. Aid. Crosby, Dwyer, Phillips and others supported him. The motion was first put on the adop tion of the minority report, and it was Aid. O'Brien who gave victory on the first ballot to the anti-liquids. The vote was as follows: eVas — Long, Klichli, Rand, Anderson, Rhode, Schwartz, Dwyer, Phillips, Nelson, Drew, Dick inson; nays, O'Brien, Lane, Adams, El liott, Crosby, Colburn, Shepley, Hewett, Webster, Lloyd, Fort, Currier, Presi dent Loye.* Yeas 11; nays 13. Durnam and Alexander were not present. A motion to refer the report back to a committee of cne from each ward, of fered by Aid. Rand, was lost by the same vote. The'majority report then I carried by a vote of 13 to 10, Long, I Kiichli, Rand, Anderson, Rhode, I Schwartz, Dwyer, Phillips, Nelson and Dickinson voting nay. The liquor force missed the vote of Durnam. Upon motion of Ala. Crosby, a resolu tion was passed, requiring all employes of the city who had not qualified as full citizens of the United States, to do so forthwith. This is a peremptory order to have all persons in the city employ place themselves In a position to hold the positions. The committee having in charge the settlement of the debt of H. F. Brown, having failed to reach an agreement, the city attorney was ordered to pro ceed at once by due course of law, to make the collections. Property owners to a man, headed by Bardwell. Robinson Co., objected to the opening and widening of Twenty-fourth avenue north from Third street to the river. The matter was referred to the committee. Permission was granted the govern ment for fiowage rights on the east river bank parkway, In connection with the new dam. -An offer was received frcm the First National bank, of New York, which was in effect a saving of $1,000 per year, for duties on bond col lections. The matter was referred to the committee. The meeting adjourned until Monday, Dec. 20, which was fixed as the next regular meeting, the hour being 7:30 o'clock. DURNAMS SIXTEEN REASONS. The Convicted Alderman and Ills Friends Fix Up a Strong Cane. The moving papers for a new trial in the Durnam case have teen filed, and show that the defense and its cohorts will leave no stone unturned to secure a new trial of the convicted alderman. The papers filed yesterday In the case, show that there are sixteen causes given for a new trial. They embody the allegations as follows: First, the verdict is not justified by the evidence; second, the verdict is con trary to law; third, newly discovered evidence; fourth, misconduct of jury; fifth, misconduct of attorney in argu ing case to jury; sixth, accident and surprise which could not be guarded against; seventh, irregularities in pro ceedings; eigth, error in law; ninth, er rors in empaneling jury; tenth, errors of court in challenges; eleventh, that the jury was not a legal jury; twelfth, that A. W. Armatage was an alien; thirteenth, that three jurors were not impartial; fourteenth, that the verdict was rendered under passion and preju dice; fifteenth, that the sentence of the court was excessive; sixteenth, that the facts in the indictment do not consti tute a public offense. Accompanying these claims, are dozens of affidavits, which show that the armies of the defense have not been idle. C. A. Warner is a new witness, who gives affidavits that he was In the White Elephant saloon and Durnam did not go in the back room. Frank F. Gardner, the juror who stated to other members of the jury, as they will swear, that he believed defendant guilty, but that he didn't want to con vict a poor man, has an affidavit, in which he swears that when the jury was out, it was not always together in one room, but that portions of it con spired in another room for conviction. He swears that at first the ballots stood six for conviction, three for ac quittal and three blank. He held out to the last, and only voted for convic tion under pressure, and never believed the accused guilty. George A. Durnam, Arthur M. Noyes and A. M. Harrison all make affidavits that they did not know the foreman of the jury," A. W. Armatage, was an alien and have learned It since. Proofs are also appended to show that Armatage is not a full citizen. Coffee John swears that A. W. Arma tage was in his restaurant the day after the first trial when the jury dis agreed, and then and there Armatage asserted that he wished he had been on the jury and he would have done all he could to convict Durnam. Merrltt C. French also swears that he heard Armatage at a restaurant, assert that he "got after" the juror who was hold ing out, and made him come around to the side of conviction. He also said he believed there was guilt before the trial. Michael C.'Brady swears that he has often heard F. A. Campbell assert long before the trial that Durnam and the rest were guilty and if he was on a jury he would convict him. Ed. A. Stevens is also thrown Into the breach, and swears that Campbell has been heard by him to assert that the THE SAINT PAUL OLOBE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 189 T. aldermen were guilty, and that the combine was fixing the Juries that tried the cases against them. Charles D. Brown, P. M. Elliott, William F. Pagel, Joseph Phillips, Charles Pfister Jr., all made affidavits of the same nature. William E. Stewart and William Fair ley make affidavits to the effect that they have heard William A. Washburn, another juror, assert before he was a member of the jury, or the case was on trial, that Durnam was guilty, and ought to be sent to the pen. These affidavits are the result of the work of the army of ward heelers, who for the past few weeks have been scouring the city for anything they could hear, to obtain a new trial for the defendant. The arguments will be heard before Judge Elliott this morning. ONE PLEADED GUILTY. Gets a l.iK'ht Sentence — Indicted Prisoners Rounded lp.

Harris, in which the defendants were in court on an order to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt for refusing to obey a judgment of the court rendered against them. This appearance in court was one of the last scenes having direct connection with the famous case against John Rockefeller, in which the Merrltts settled for $500,000 and in which the Harrises, as their attorneys, allege that they were frozen out. The Merritts sued to recover a block of stock alleged to have been given to the Harrises as security for the payment of their salraies. The Harrises claimed that the stock had been given them outright, but a jury decided otherwise, and they were ordered to turn the stock over. They only gave up a small share of the stock, and the order to show cause resulted from their refusal to turn over the rest. In the trial they made a disclosure of their property and pleaded inability to comply with the judgment, and Judge Mcer held that this was sufficient ground to va cate the order.

Within the past few years several of Zanoll's wives have died, and, a3 their lives were Insured, the prisoner has secured much money from the in surance companies. He has also since 1884 collected insurance on the lives of his children, who have died, and also for several of his deceased moth, ers-in-law, all of whom were Insured. Zanoli made a confession to Chief of Detectives McClusky, In which he ad mitted having become rich by collect ing the insurance on his several wives, mothers-in-law and children, but in sisted that he was in no instance guil ty of murder. During the day the police accumulat ed a good deal of testimony against Zanoli which they consider important. Capt. McCluskey stated that he had discovered a barber who had seen Zanoli giving his wife number two a dose of medicine. The woman died the next day of cerebral hemorrhage. He also stated that Zanoli moved a short time ago to another locality in this city with the intention of getting married again. The woman that Zanoli intend ed to make his wife advertised in the papers for a husband and had an ap pointment with Zanoli at his store yes j terday evening. She kept the appoint- I ment and found that Zanoli was In jail. i The police also claim that Zanoli tried to marry another woman recently. Zanoli told the police today that his child, Lottie, on whose life he collected Insurance, died from an injury on the head resulting from a blow given to her by his second wife while in a fit of anger. Zanoli also stated that his second wife grieved so much over Lot tie's death that he believed it caused her own death. Zanoli has continued to cry ever since he has been locked up.

TARIFF ON LOGS. Export Duty Asked by the Lumber men of Canada. TORONTO, Ont., Dec. 10.— A petition was presented today to the Ontario government by a large deputation cf prominent Canadian lumbermen, in which it is set forth that, owing to_ the retaliatory clause In the United States tariff, sawing could not be continued In the Georgian bay district, and that the Americans were getting their. r;.w ! material free by shutting out Cana ; dian sawn lumber. Provided the, ex ! portation of such raw material is qtop ' ped, the petitioners say, the Canadian lumbermen will not object to any duty the United States may Impose, realiz ing that it is beyond their jurisdiction. The true remedy, the lumbermen claimed, was an export duty, but, fail ing in that, they asked that a regu lation, prohibiting the export of all logs sawn on crown lands be Imposed. It was not asked that the regulation be applied to this year's out. The .pre mier's answer was non-committaL ■mmm* BONDS ARE -WORTHLESS. Decision Against the Milwaukee Garbage Plant Issue.

Sickness Drivan From Another Home by Paine's Celery Compound. Women, mothers of families, have no more right to. live beyond their strength than beyond their income. The greatest injustice that women do themselves and their children is in putting off getting well Headaches, nervousness, dyspepsia and melan cholia lay their leaden fingers over the whole household.

The constantly repeated successes of this great invigorator in making people well have roused many persons who thought themselves des tined unredeemably to lives of imper fect health to try Paine's celery com pound. No one can read the following letter without being inspired with confidence In this great remedy: 659 Elm street, Buffalo, X. V., July ?3. About eight years ago, after -the birth of a child, I suffered terribly. I could not get help from over a dozen phy sicians to whom I applied, and after receiving treatment from the last doc tor continually for nine months, was pronounced cured and continued so un til the birth of another child, when I was obliged to commence doctoring again, although all Imaginable treat ments had been resorted to without one particle of relief. T was subject to neuralgic troubles and slightly rheumatic, and I became discouraged and melancholy, feeling that I should never again be a weil woman. SQUADRON GOING SOUTH.

Train No. 20. the Sunset Limited, had just left Stein's Pass, N. M., near the Arizona line, when the engineer noticed a danger signal In front and immediately applied the air brakes.

In a remarkably short time after I began taking the remedy I began to notice a change lor the better. Before I had taken threa bottles I was well. I consider my cu?r£ a miracle, for I had trl. d a great n-'-tny doctors and different drugs and spent hundreds of dollars in vain. K< Bpect fully yours, MRS. KATE II EX X ESSEN. Close, careful observation of great numbers of cases like the above led Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of the Dartmouth Medical School, to the formulation of Paine's celery com pound. The success of this universally well known remedy In quickly driving out disease from th.- blood and system need not be retold to newspaper readers. Paine's celery compound restores to a healthy state a weakened and dis eased nervous system. One of the first evidences of its building-up virtue is the gain In flesh noticeable about the face. Night sweats and nervous twltehings are things of the past, there is a great Improvement in looks, a bet ter appetite, Bounder Bleep, a clearer skin and more regular functions. These are a few of the outward Improve ments. More Important is th. thorough and radical purifying of t h- ■ blood and the regulating and bufldlng-un of the deep-lying nerves all over the body. There ls nothing half way or partial In the effect of Paine's celery com ! pound It cures permanently. In the air and otherwise frightening the passengers. At this point tin guards in the express car took a hand in the fusilade. Thirty or forty shots are said to have been fired by both sides. One Wells-Fargo guard, Jen nings, succeeded In killing Robber Cul len, who was nearest to the car and who was evidently the leader, for as soon as the other robbers noticed his body lying on the ground they lost courage and made a break for their horses, but another bullet from Jen nings' Winchester evidently struck one of the fleeing robbers as he was Beeq to fall and was assisted out of range by h.ls comrades. No express money was stolen and none of the passengers were hurt. GENERAL LYNCHING. I'rolmlile II •--nl i <»i the Smith Miir ilcr» nt Wrwtoii. NEW ORLEANS.
