DIl-X'T CRITICIZE THE MAYOR.
Colored Reports of the Mnsi Meet-
Ins of Saloonkeepers.
The two Republican papers published
In this city flatly misrepresented yes
terday the proceedings at the mass
meeting of the retail liquor dealers
held at Assembly hall Thursday after
noon. They alleged in effect that the.
me. tin.- was a political gathering,
broupht about for tlie purpose of rais
ing a can.pai._-n fund to down Mayor
Doran. in case he should be nominat
ed, and that "an agreement was reach
ed whereby each saloonkeeper Is to pay
$15 into a campaign fund," etc. Speak
ers were quoted as criticising the
mayor for his attitude with reference
to the wholesale liquor dealers.
The statements published in these
fiapers are incorrect. In the first place,
t was not a meeting of the Retail
Liquor Dealers' association. It was a
mass meeting of a hundred or more
retail liquor dealers of St. Paul, many
of whom did not or do not now belong
to the association. One of the mem
bers of the association when seen yes
terday said:
"The articles in the morning and
evening paper are both false. The
G1 o b c's report was the only truth
ful statement. There was nothing said
about raising any campaign funds for
any purposes, and there was no politi
cal" discussion whatever. The sole ob
ject of the mass meeting was to
strengthen the Retail Liquor Dealers'
association. That association is not,
and never will in-, a political organiza
tion. The retail liquor dealers are or
ganizing tlie same as any other trades
men or craft for the benefit and pro
tection of their business interests.
"It was just as ex-Aid. Murphy said
In his speech, the liquor dealers had the
_ame right to organize as any other
class of business men, and that so long
as there were some 280 of them ln the
city, an association numbering 200 or
225, would be In a position to protect
the Interests of the business against
hostile legislation or other unfair dis
crimination. If the administration
should neglect to prosecute wholesale
liquor dealers or druggists for selling
liquor at retail the association would
he able to hire counsel and secure ev
idence to prosecute such offenders.
tThere was no such criticism of the
jryiyor or his policy as reported."

SES TO SPEND 940,000 MORE
THAN M'CARDY'S FIGURES.
WABASHA STREET BRIDGE
TO BE WIDENED AT THE SOUTH
END TO INCREASE ITS USE
FULNESS.
FIRE DEPARTMENT MISTAKE.
Comptroller McCardy Admits It, and
tbe Evil Is Corrected So aa to
Sustain Mr. Klrlce.
The conference committee finished
Its labors with the estimate for the
1898 tax budget as presented by the
comptroller yesterday. The amount to
be raised by taxation as adopted by
the conference committee is 516,497 less
than the sum allowed by the council
for the 1897 budget. The figures as
presented by the comptroller called for
a total of 51,723,827, which was decreas
ed 5375,000 by deducting the estimated
receipts to the general fund, leaving
the total to be raised by taxation at
51,348,827. When the conference com
mittee took hold of the estimate Mon
day afternoon the comptroller inform
ed the members that any Increase in
the amount would result ln the tax
levy rate being Increased. In the face
of this, an attempt was made to put
in the estimate, under the head of
bridge repair fund, $63,500 for the start
ing of a fund for the widening of the
south end of the Wabasha street
bridge. The engineer's estimate for
this improvement was 5100,000, and,
while those favoring the Improvement
realized that the conference commit
tee would not raise the estimate to the
full amount, a strong fight was made
to get $63,500 placed in the budget. The
result was that, after discussing the
Question the better part of three af
ternoons, the sum of 530,000 was added
as a starter for the fund to be used
for the construction of the new part
of the bridge. An additional $10,000
was added for repairs on other bridges
to the amount submitted by the comp
troller, making the total for the bridge
repair fund $50,000, as against $10,000
ln the comptroller's estimate. To this
Increase of $40,000 was added by the
conference committee $6,000 more to
the lighting fund, for the purpose of
putting ln 1,000 Welsbach gas burners.
These two additions increased the
comptroller's estimate just $46,000, but
the amount was reduced to $34,000 by
the comptroller discovering that he
had made an error of $10,000 in the fire
department estimate, and the reduc
tion of the building Inspector's allow
ance from $5,900 to $3,900. When the
conference committee finished, the es
timate was just 534,000 larger than as
submitted by the comptroller. The fol
lowing Is a recapitulation showing the
Items as submitted by the comptroller
and as adopted by the conference com
mittee.
The budget, as adopted by the con
ference committee, will be now turned
over to the council, which has the
power to change the various Items for
each department as in Its judgment Is
deemed necessary:

The feature of the meeting yester
day was the admission of Comptroller
McCardy that he had made an error in
making up his estimate. He had been
asked about the error by Assemblyman
Kirke at the meeting of the committee
on Wednesday, but at that session
stuck to the proposition that his figures
were correct. Yesterday, however, the
comptroller said he desired to amend
the estimate by making the amount
required for the fire department $190,
--000 Instead of $200,000, and this was
done. Mr. Kirke stated Thursday aft
ernoon that he had discovered other
errors in the estimate which, if cor
rected, would reduce the total amount
to be raised by taxation for 1898 some
530,000. It was expected Mr. Kirke
would be on hand yesterday afternoon
to have a bout with the comptroller,
but he did not put in an appearance.
"The never ending Item nineteen," as
the mayor expressed it, relating to the
bridge repair fund, was taken up as
scon as the committer was called up
yesterday. Aid. Bell headed a delega
tion from the West side to urge the
placing of $63,500 in the bridge fund
estimate for widening Wabasha street
bridge. The vote by which the motion
tc include this amount was defeated
Thursday was reconsidered and the
next two hours devoted to discussion.
Communications were read from Stap
les & King, William E. McCormlek and
Philip Shufeldt, Interested In business
Industries on the We3t s'd_, asking that
some action be taken to make the
structure passable for teams. Aid. 8.1 l
made a strong plea for placing an
amount sufficient to widen the bridge
In the estimate. The interests of the
city demanded that It be put In a go:d
condition. It was all right to go be
fore the public and say the tax levy
had not been increased, but if this
was done at the expense of the Inter
ests of the city the citizens would con
sider it foolish. William Thompson, a
property owner, followed in the same
strain. Mayor Doran said a number of
business firms had located on the West
side and were valuable additions to th.
city. To his knowledge one industry
had been lost to the city by reason of
the south end of the bridge not being
high enough to allow a railroad track
to be put under the structure. He ad
vocated the placing of $63,500 ln the
estimate to start the fund for the wid
ening of the bridge.
Mr. Wheelock was of the opinion that
the whole trouble could be remedied
by having the bridge property paved or
planked, and directing the street car
company to operate only one track on
the narrow portion. Mr. Bement said
53,500 in repairs would make the bridge
good for three years, and there was
no reason for Increasing the tax levy
rate to make the proposed repairs Just
now. In three years, times would be
better and the debt of the city much
le-ss. Mr. Zimmermann wanted 540,000
put In next year and the same amount
for the next three years. Mr. Bement
X-HJe; SAINT PAUI. GltOß'E: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1897.
Buggested that as the only trouble was
that the street car company was oc
cupying the narrow portion of the
bridge with two tracks, this could be
remedied by taking the cars off the
bridge and make them go over the
Robert street bridge and then back to
South Wabasha street. Mr. McCardy
favored the placing of $63,500 in the
estimate for the bridge, and said that
the people could stand a one mill raise
ln the levy, as the rate was now less
than In other cities. Mr. Wheelock and
Mr. Bement disagreed with the comp
troller, and Mr. Wheelock called at
tention to the plan of the comptroller
to usue 5100,000 in bonds for school pur
poses, which he thought would make
enough of an increase. It would be
unwise, ln his opinion, to Increase the
tax levy for the purpose of widening
the bridge. There were other matters
of more moment than this proposed Im
provement. There were all kinds of
motions as to amounts to be put in the
estimate, but one was finally carried
allowing 530,000 for the starting of a
fund for this purpose. The sum of $20,
--000 was then added to the fund for the
repair of other bridges and the item
increased from 510,000 to 550,000, was
adopted. A slight change was then
made ln the general fund item by which
the sum of 55,000 was appropriated for
the lowering of a sewer on Cedar street.
This did not increase the estimate,
however, as the amount was deducted
from the miscellaneous division of the
general fund. The comptroller then
announced that he had made a mistake
by placing the estimate for the fire de
partment 510,000 to high. This mis
take was corrected and the estimate
as a whole was then adopted. Before
an adjournment was taken, the comp
troller announced that for the first time
since he had been comptroller the city
had money enough at the close of the
fiscal year to pay all demands for all
the departments.
AGAINST TICKET SCALPING.
Twin City Merchants Are Willi the
ISii i 1 rtmils.
A prominent St. Paul retailer has sent
to Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, a letter in which
it is stated that the merchants of the
Twin Cities, are with the railroads in
the fight against ticket scalping. The
retailer was prompted to write the let
ter on account of the fact that the
roads made low rates into St. Paul and
Minneapolis for the Christmas shop-;
ping trade. It says: "It seems to us
that we might mention to you that by
granting this request the merchants in
both cities feel thankful to your as
sociation. By extending these cour
tesies once in awhile It causes much
better feeling to exist between the mer
chants and the railroads, and It must
seem apparent to you that tha
best relations ought to exist -be
tween the people who do
business with the railroads and the
companies themselves. I think I can
say that nearly all the merchants In
this city and Minneapolis have taken
the stand of the railroads in requesting
legislation against the abuse caused by
scalpers."

DEATH OP MRS. LLOYD BOWERS.
Daughter of Judge Thomas Wilson,
of This City.
The sad news of the death, ln Chicago, of
Mrs. Lloyd W. Bowers, the only daughter of
Hon. Thomas Wilson, of this city, came yes
terrday to shock ihe many friends of the Wil
son family, both ln St. Paul and Winona, the
latter place being where the Wilson resi
dence formerly was. According to telegrams
received, Mrs. Bowers died after a very brief
illness of typhoid fever, and there were pres
ent when the end came, at noon, her hus
band and her father, Mrs. H. C. Burbank,
of this city. Dr. Staples, of Winona, and other
intimate friends.
Judge Wilson left here several days ago,
being summoned to the bedside of his daugh
ter by Dr. Staples, who has been the Wilson
> family physician for many years. The ill
ness was not at first thought to be seri
ous, but developed into typhoid fever. Mrs.
Burbank, a close friend of the late Mrs.
Wilson, went to Chicago a day or two ago
to lend what aid and comfort was possible.
Mrs. Borers was thirty-two years of age
at the time of her death, and is survived by
i her husband, the general counsel of the Chi
cago & Northwestern road, and two young
children, Thomas and Martha. She was
married eleven years ago to Mr. Bowers,
then a young attorney, who came out from
New Yo*k and entered a law partnership in
Winona, with her father. Judge Wilson. When
the judge was made counsel of the Omaha
i road ard moved to St. Paul, the Bowers took
j up their residence in Chicago, where Mr.
j Bowers held the same position with the Chi
; cago & Northwestern. -
It was their habit to spend the Christmas
! holidays with Judge Wilson here in St. Paul,
| and preparations for their coming this year
j were Interrupted by the illness of Mrs. Bow
ers. During their visits to St. Paul they
'. made a host of warm friends, who will learn
j with genuine grief of Mrs. Bowers' death.
The event will prove a severe shock to the
■ judge, who, especially since the death of his
wife here two years ago, has been wrapped
up in his daughter and her two bright chil
dren.
The funeral services will be held at the
family residence. 11 Ritchie place, tomorrow
'■ afternoon p.t 3. The remains will be brought
I to St. Paul and taken Monday moruing to
] Winona, where, at 2 p. m. services will be
j held In the Congregational church. Dr. West,
I the pastor, will officiate.
Hon. William Mitchell, of the supreme
I court, a close friend of Judge Wilson, leaves
' thin morning for Winona, where he will make
! arrangements for the funeral. There will
| probably be four pall-bearers from Chicago,
the remaining four being selected from the
friends of tbe dead woman living at her
former home.
Quite a number of St. Paul people will at
tend the funeral.

A Visitor ln the Saintly City Yester
day—Gossip of the City
Hotels.
D. F. Longstreet, of Boston, Is ln the
city registered at the Metropolitan, and
a guest for a few days of J. M. Haw
thorne. Mr. Longstreet has been en
gaged for the past eighteen months as
assistant general manager of the street
railway system of Mexico, and It was
in that city that he made Mr. Haw
thorne's acquaintance a year ago. Mr.
Longstreet has a national reputation in
street railway circles, having been
connected with the management of the
systems in Boston, Providence and Den
ver and at one time was president of
the Street Railway association of the
United States. He has just resigned
his position in Mexico and is on his way
to Boston, where his family resides. In
speaking of the Mexican roads, he said
to a Globe reporter:
"The system was first built by native
capital and was sold two years ago to
an English syndicate for $7,500,000.
That seems a big price, but the present
owners are making money on it. The
lines are of two kinds, mule cars and
locomotives. The former are drawn by
a span of mules and sometimes by only
one mule, and the lines Intersect the
city proper in every direction. The
locomotives run on lines to neighboring
suburbs and merely draw the same
kind of cars as the ones propelled by
mule power.
"The fare about town is six cents. On
the suburban lines there are both first
and second class coaches and the fare
runs from two to thirty cents. The
conductors and drivers are all natives
or Cubans and are polite and attentive.
They have just been uniformed; prior
to that time they wore any old thing
and looked villainous. The cars are
fitted with registers, to record the fares,
and eighty inspectors are employed to
look after things in general. Altogeth
er there are about 200 cars.
"I was kept pretty close, attending
to business, and cannot tell you much
about the condition of the country,
but judging from the street car receipts
— and they make a pretty good barome
ter — I imagine that everything Is fairly
prosperous. I cannot say, personally,
that I like the country very well, es
pecially the ar; angements for winter.
They have about two months of very
chilly weather and as they have no
heating stoves it is sometimes quite un
comfortable. A man is at a disadvant
age, too, unless he can speak the lan
guage, although that did not bother me
as I had a Cuban interpreter."
"How are the prices of commodities
under the free coinage?" inquired the
reporter.
"Local products are as cheap as li
the United States. That is one of their
silver dollars will buy as much as one
of ours will here. But when you want
foreign made goods, the prices rise out
of sight. You not only have to pay the
tariff but also pay a big advance on
account of the fact that the goods are
60ld at gold prices.
"There is quite an English colony in
the city of Mexico — probably about 12,-
COO English speaking persons, of whom
3,000 are Americans. There are two
daily papers published in the English
language and both of them seem to be
paying. Every large store, so far as
I observed, kept an interpreter for the
benefit of the English customers. There
are a great many American tourists
there during the winter, but there was
a big falling off this year compared
with last."
Mr. Longstreet. by the way, Is a
nephew of Gen. Longstreet, the famous
Confederate leader, and by the singular
fortunes of war, he was found fight
ing under the Stars -and Stripes at sev
eral battles where his noted uncle was
cheering on the hosts of the Stars and
Bars.

Is personal property. She di.d intestate and
Haydn S. Cole, of the law firm of Stevens,
O'Brien, Cole & Albrecht, wa. appointed
administrator of the estate. Last September
Waters filed his claim to the estate alleging
that Mrs. Mintzer was his wife. The admin
istrator has just filed, in the probate court,
a petition for an order requiring Waters to
stfiow cause why a portion of the esta/te,
to wit: The sum of $10,0-0 should not be
distributed among the heirs of the deceased,
most of whom live in Pennsylvania. A hear
ing on the petition will tak . place next Tues
day before .ludge YVillrich.
Harvey Officer Is the attorney for Waters.
Mr. Waters says he married Mrs. Mintzer
in 1890. The records of the district court
show that on Sept. .3, 1800, a license was
issued for the marriage of Joseph Waters and
Anna R. Mintzer. But there was no return
made as required by law. The day after
the license was issued Mrs. Mintzer appeared
in the office of the clerk of courts, then held
by It. T. O'Connor, and declared she had
never authorized Waters to get a license to
marry her.
Waters, it is understood, says that Justice
of the Peace Burgess performed the ceremony.
But as Mr. Burgess is now an inmate of
tho Rochester asylum, his testimony might be
deemed incompetent one way or thp other.
Mrs. Mintzer waa the widow of William L».
Mintzer, who was born in Philadelphia in
1818 and died In St. Paul In ISSI.

ABOUT SECOND PAPERS.
New Decision by Clerk of the Court
Rogeri,
No second papers will be Issued by
the clerk of the district cout after Jan.
20, until after the spring election. The
law requires that all foreign born vo
ters must have obtained their final pa
pers at least three months before the
election, which is construed to mean
that they cannot register unless they
have had their papers for three months.
There will be no more night sessions of
the district court during the present
month. It is the intention to hold an
evening session on Wednesday, Jan. 12,
which will be cjien to all residents of
Ramsey county. All second papers,
heretofore ordered will be ready for de
livery next Thursday, Dec, 23, at the
clerk's offic-, where all entitled to them
are requested to call.
Mr. Rogers said yesterday that after
the spring election, the issuing of final
papers, free of charge, will be resumed
in order to qualify resident* for the fall
electlun of 1898.
