tives.
Mr. Peuser, who is a cigarmarker, last
Tuesday received a flattering offer to go
into business at Kamloops. B. C, and it
was necessary for him to leave as soon as
possible. Miss Sweeney was taken ill a
week ago. and has been confined to her
bed. When the news of Mr. Peuser's
good fortune came they decided to wed at
once, and yesterday arrangements were
made for the wedding that took place at
the bedside.

great bank of fragrant white roses for
the ceremony, and the appearance of the
sick room was deftly transferred into a
parlor. John Sweeney, a brother of the I
bride, was best man, and Mrs. Charles
Ganster acted as bridesmaid.
After the ceremony a wedding supper
was served, and, although the bride was
unable to be present, there was an abun

flowing with congratulations and good
wishes for the young couple united and
soon to part. Among the guests were:

IHE ST. PAUL GLOBE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, '1839.
ANY SITE WILL SUIT
MARKET GARDENERS WANT A LO
CATION OF SOME KIND
FIRST
SOME OPPOSE EAGLE STEEET
But All Say They Want a Market,
and Will Make the Best of the
Location Providiug It Doesu't
Salt Them A Lively Meeting at
Market Hall Without Definite
Rea alt.
Market hall has held many poculiar
gatherings in Its time, yet it is doubt
ful If it ever held one as replete with
enthusiasm, bitterness and yet so many
laughable Incidents as the one yesterday
afternoon, when nearly 400 market gar
deners met. They had been called to
gether to attempt to agree on the location
of a market site.
John Gantzer called the meeting to or
der, and hardly were the words, "I call
this meeting to order," out of his mouth
before the liveliest kind of a scrap was
on, and stayed on until the close of the
meeting. Mr. Gantzer and Mr. Vanaster
hout were both nominated for chairman,
and the secretary called for a vote on
Mr. Gantzer and declared him elected.
Then there was a howl, and above the
noise Mr. Gantzer was heard to say:
"I am the chairman and propose to
stay chairman."
The next Question attempted to be dis
cussed was whether Ramsey county or
the city of St. Paul was to buy a mar
ket. Aid. Knauft tried to explain and
was called off his feet by Assemblyman
Thompson.
Mr. H. S. Fairchild was recognized by
the speaker and by everyone else, too.
He manged to say "Eagle street," and
that was the last of him. Amid a howl
of "Put him out" and hisses he was or
dered to sit down by the chairman and
reluctantly did so. A motion .was put
and carried that none but gardeners,
farmers and truckers should be allowed
to speak. Then everybody began to talk;
the chairman and three assistant chair
men yelled themselves hoarse trying to
get order, and Henry Kardell got on the
platform and, waving a claw hammer in
the air, shouted:
"What are we here for. The farmers
don't know anything. They don't how to
conduct a meeting. If you don't pre
serve order, you will never do anything."
The fiery words of the orator had the
desired effect and quiet was restored.
An effort to get the meeting committed
to the Eagle street site brought every
man to his feet, and things looked squal
ly, but. it passed off, and talks were in
dulged in on the merits of different sites
after a motion to adjourn had been voted
down. *
Alvin Rose was the first speaker on the
question of sites. "I am opposed," he
said, "to the Eagle street site. Let us
vote on sites. I am not in favor of any
site, but want It in the central part of
the city. If the majority favors Eagla
street site, let us go there; If the ma
jority favors any other site, let us go
there." (Applause.)
G. F. Anderson said: "What we want
is a centrally located site. I am in favor
of the Eagle street site; it is surrounded
by buildings lit for nothing else but com
mission houses. We are dependent upon
the commission men, and if we do not
select a proper site suitable to them
many of us may as well go out of busi
ness. The market buyers are but little
good to us. They buy but little of our
truck. Let them go to the grocers and
get what they want."
H. Dorner was opposed to Eagle street
site.
Thomas Connelly said: "What we want
Is a centrally located market. Eagle
street is the central location, I believe."
Charles McCaron, ex-county commis
sioner, said: "Two-thirds of our market
gardeners go to Minneapolis because they
find better accommodations there. I un
derstood that the city council is trying to
remedy this condition. If the Eagle street
site is selected it will induce other gard
eners to go to Minneapolis."
Other speakers were Jos. Shields, who
favored the Eagle street site; J. G. Koh
lar, opposed to Eagle street site, and was
not particular as long as It was east of
Wabasha street; Adam Gerten, Eagle
street.
Alvin Rose introduced a resolution re
questing the location of a market site
somewhere east of Wabasha, west of
Olive, south of University and north of
Third street.
Another resolution was offered recom
mending the Eagle street site to the
council.
Motions to adopt each resolution, to lay
both on the table and motions of every
kind came thick and fast amidst cries of
order, cat calls, yells and howls of every
nature and description in seventeen dif
ferent languages, sacred and profane. A
frightful uproar fol'.owed, lasting ten or
fifteen minutes. When order was finally
restored with the aid of six self-appoint
ed chairmen and several sledgehammers,
Aid. Bantz took the platform and said:
"You should throw aside your prejudice
against any site. The council ls trying
to select a site suitable to all men, the
grocers, commission men, gardeners and
consumers. I have no interest in any site,
but I have a vote. It makes no difference
to me what site Is chosen, but if a ma
jority of you prefer any one site I shall
vote for it. I am satisfied that when a
site is located every' one will find It.
whether gardeners, grocers, commission
men or consumers. I believe you should
present your views to the council in the
shape of petitions."
This talk had the effect of bringing the
meeting to a focus and the remainder of
the afternoon was spent in signing two
different petitions, one favoring the Eagle
street site and the other asking the coun
cil to choose any site offered within the
limits of Wabasha, Olive, University and
Third streets.
Among the interested spectators were
Assemblymen Benson and Thompson and
Aid. Knauft, Bantz and Reeves.
FAVOR EAGLE STBEET.
Six Out of Nine Aldermen Vote for
That Site.
As far as the board of aldermen ls con
cerned, the market site ls at least one
step nearer a conclusion. It is a short
step, but shows a tendency on the part
of the board to try and accomplish some
thing. At its meeting last night the
board went into a committee of the whole
for .the discussion of the question of mar
ket site. The market gardeners sub
mitted a report of their meeting, held in
the forenoon. It was in the form of two
petitions, one signed by about 150 names
asking the council to locate a site some
where within the limits of Wabasha
street. Third street, Olive street and Uni
versity avenue; the other signed by only
a few names, asking that the site be lo
cated at Eagle street. Both reports were
received and placed on file, and the com
mittee proceeded to an informal ballot
resulting:
First Ballot— Eagle street, 3; Broadway,
3; Constans. 1; Sherburne, 1; blank, 1.
Second Ballot— Eagle, 4; Broadway, 3;
Constans, 1; Sherburne. 1.
Third Ballot— Eagle, 6; Broadway, S.
There were nine votes cast,' and
at the conclusion of the third ballot
the committee arose and the board ad
journed.
The board of public works reported the
awarding of contracts to P. J. Ryan for
the construction of a sewer on Robie
street, and to Anderson & Johnson for
the construction of a sewer on East
Fourth street. The award was approved.
A preliminary order for the construc
tion of a sewer on Western avenue was
adopted.
Meeting of Dairymen.
The dairymen made another effort to
complete organization at Assembly hall
last night. The temporary officers, D.
I'.elair, president; B. P. Gray, secretary,
and N. G. Nelson, treasurer, elected at
the last meeting, again acted as last
night's meeting. A committee of three
was finally appointed, consisting of E.
Nolan, Charles McCarron and B. P. Gray,
to see what can be done in reference to
having articles of Incorporation prepared.
The committee! will meet at the court
house this afternoon at 2 p. m.
It wus decided- to send out a number
of postal cards to all dairymen and re
quest their ppese«ce at another meeting
which Is to be held at Assembly hall nest

AN IMPORTANT RILING MADE}.
Judge Otis Directs a New Trial of
Issue* in a Pergonal Injury Suit.
Judge Otis yesterday filed an order In
district court in the case of Martin
VVelser against the city of St. Paul, di
recting a retrial of the Issue as to wheth
er or not notice' Was served as required
by law. In au accompanying memoran
dum the court makes an Important rul
ing in regard to the service of notice
upon the city.
The plaintiff sued for $1,200 personal In
juries alleged to have been sustained by
falling off a sidewalk on Page street on
Aug. 23, 1898. He was given the full
amount asked by the jury.
The city asked for judgment notwith
standing the verdict for a new trial on
the ground that there had not been prop
er service. According to the complaint
notice was served on the city clerk un
der the charter on Sept. 8, and on coun
sel under the law of 1897 on Sept. 15. The
answer admits the service on counsel, but
not on the city clerk. No evidence in re
gard to the service was introduced at the
original trial and the court grants a re
trial of that issue.
In his memorandum Judge Otis says
that the question at issue is whether it Is
necessary to comply with the old charter
provision as well as the law of 1897, and
holds that It is necessary to comply with
both.

year and the work generally enables
them to earn a good share of that
amount.

CALL FOR DR. PAXTON
PHILADELPHIA DIVINE INVITED
TO ASSUME PASTORATE OF
HOUSE OF HOPE
CALL IS MADE UNANIMOUS
Dr. Paxton Hum Had a Hunt Success
ful Career as a Minister and ln
Evangelistic Work — Will Assume
His New Dutleit Next Month Dr.
G. W. Davis Was Favored by
Some.
At a congregational meeting of the
House of Hope church held last evening
ln the church parlors a formal call was
extended to Rev. James D. Paxton of
Philadelphia, Dr. Paxton will assume tha
pastorate within thirty days.
The voice of the congregation was ex
pressed by ballot, which resulted in 140
votes being cast for Dr. Paxton and
twenty for Dr. George W. Davis, dean of
Macalester college.
When the result of the balloting had
been announced by Moderator Scovel, C.
P. Noyes moved to make the call unan
imous, and the motion was carried with
out a dissenting voice.
On motion of Treasurer C. P. Noyes,
Dr. Paxton's salary was fixed at $4,000
per year with an allowance of $500 for
expenses incident to his removal to St.
Paul.
Daniel R. Noyes, ln behalf of the pulpit
committee, submitted Dr. Paxton's name
to the congregation, supplementing the
report with a few remarks explaining the
progress of the committee's work, and
reviewing the different clergymen con
sidered. Mr. Noyes stated that Dr. Coyle,
of Sacramento, was the first name which
the committee considered seriously, and
he had made up his mind to visit the
coast with a view of securing Dr. Coyle's
services. Just before starting, however,
he received a message from Dr. Coyle
saying he had acceded to the wishes of
his family and decided to remain on the
coast.
Mr. Noyes followed with a statement of
the Investigations of the committee as to
Dr. Paxton's record. He asserted that
the committee had found it no easy mat
ter to make up its mind on a name to
submit to the congregation, but ln Dr.
Paxton's case the committee was unan
imous and of one mind.
Joseph McKlbbon followed with a de
tailed statement of the progress of the
negotiations with Dr. Paxton. The first
suggestion in this direction came from
Dr. Robert Christie, of Allegheny, Pa.,
former pastor of the church. From that
an extended investigation was made of
Dr. Paxton's former labors, much to the
satisfaction of the committee, with the
result stated.
At the conclusion of Mr. McKibbon's
remarks. H. J. Horn moved that the
meeting proceed to ballot for a pastor.
There was some difference of opinion as
to the method in which it should be done.
Frederick Driscoll thought inasmuch
as but one name was suggested the se
lection could be made by a rising vote.
Quite a discussion followed, being con
cluded by a motion made by Gen. J. B.
Sanborn, to the effect that a ballot be
taken and that every one vote for his
choice for pastor. He thought there
should be the fullest liberty in this mat
ter.
The ballot was taken with the result
named.
* • •
Rev. James Dunlop Paxton was born
at Pittsburg, Pa., July 26, 1860. After
completing his primary and academic ed
ucation he entered the Princeton Theo
logical seminary, and graduated in IS-S2,
when he became pastor of the East Side
Presbyterian church, of Schenectady.
When he first assumed charge it was lit
tle more than a mission church in a wage
earning community, and when he accept
ed the call of the West Spruce Presby
terian church, of Philadelphia, in the
spring of 1891, he had put the church on a
firm basis, with a membership of 550.
Dr. Paxton's pastorate at the West
Spruce Street church, between the years
IS9I and 1890. is spoken of in the highest
terms by the session and trustees of the
church and prominent business men of
Philadelphia. He resigned In 1897 to take
up strictly evangelistic work. He went
to Paris and established a church in the
Latin quarter, where he has spent the
last two years among the neglected stu
dents of the Parisian capital. His work
there has been the subject of newspaper
and magazine comment, both for its nov
elty and success.
Dr. Paxton's wife ls a former St. Paul
woman. She is the daughter of J. Wil
son Paxton, who lived in St. Paul for a
number of years after the war. When
Miss Paxton became Mrs. Paxton the
usual rule of changing names on such
occasions did not prevail.
Mrs. Paxton's father purchased consid
erable St. Paul real estate, and later
moved to Redwood Falls, where he be
came heavily interested.
Rev. J. D. Paxton is a son of Dr. Will
iam Paxton, of Princeton college.

The annual report of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company, which was
placed before the New York officials this
week, shows that the net earnings from
the operation of the plant were $150,000
ln excess of those of last year, and that
the surplus, after the interest on -the
debt of the company and the dividends
on the 7 per cent preferred stock and
the taxes had been paid, amounted to
about $375,000, or more than half as much
again as the surplus for the year 1897.
The Income from passengers amounted
to $2,145,092.95, against $1,982,785.20 for the
preceding year, or 42.901,859 fares were
collected, against 39,655,704 for the year
previous.
This showing of the company speaks
well for the revival of business ln the
Twin Cities. The figures show that the
preferred stock continues to earn it's divi
dends, and that there ls a strong prob
ability that a dividend will be declared
on the common stock. It was without
doubt in anticipation of the conditions
that are shown in the report that the
demand for Twin City common increased
55 points within a year.
During the year 1898 the Selby cable
line in St. Paul was replaced by an elec
tric line, and the installation of a modern
counterweight system has made It pos
sible for the cars to overcome the heavy
grade of 15% per cent. It has been in
operation since August and has proved
very satisfactory.
The new interurban line via St. An
thony Park, the state agricultural col
lege, the state fair grounds and Como
park has been completed and has been
a paying line. A new car shop 359 feet
long and 136 feet wide has been built,
and twenty-two handsome forty-four
foot cars have been constructed. The
water power plant, to be used In connec
tion with the large Stone Milling com
pany, has been ln use for the generation
of electricity for some months, and has
satisfactorily stood all tests to which it
has been put. While there was no
doubt whatever as to the ability of this
plant to furnish all the power as re
quired, the sieam plants were kept in
readiness for operation. The plant was
not accepted by the company until last
December, and the delay pending the ac
ceptance prevented the sale of surplus
power, from which considerable revenue
was expected.

SHOULD SELL AT ONCE
STATE AUDITOR DUNN SAYS THE
INDIANS WOULD PROFIT
BY IT
IF PINE SALE ISN'T PUT OFF
He DiscuHNes v Telegram From
Washington Aboat the Probable
Postponement of the Proposed
Disposition of the Tiinher on the
Leech Lake Reservation Why
Some Lumbermen Favor a Delay.
A Washington telegram of March 14,
referring to the postponement of the sale
of pine on the Leech lake reservation,
was called to the attention of State Aud
itor Dunn yesterday and he was asked
what he thought about it. lie said that
the lumbermen representing the largest
Interests were not at all anxious to have
the sale take place this season.
Mr. Dunn says the timber estimators
around Leech lake have become frighten
ed over the demonstrations made by the
Indians, and have placed high estimates
on all the timber on the reservation. A
second reason why the lumbermen do not
want the sale to take, place arises from
the fact that the minimum, slate price of
$3 per 1,000 is rather high for Norway
pine — at least It is a good price— and the
two facts combined have led the lumber
ing interests to protest, and the gentle
men who follow that business are, in the
vernacular of the bargain counter, look
ing for snaps. If a lumberman pays for
1,000,000 feet of lumber and only gets a j
million feet at even a reasonable tigure |
he thinks he is a much abused individual.
The dispatch from Washington was as |
follows: . I
"It ls as good as settled that the sale of
Minnesota pine on the Leech lake reser
vation will not take place on May 10, as J
scheduled. Secretary Hitchcock, the new
head of the Interior department, has de- |
cided to postpone the sale indefinitely, j
Commissioner Hermann says that, while |
the work of examining and estimating
will be lost, he will nevertheless preserve
all the estimates and keep them on rec
ord.
"Ostensibly the sale will be postponed at
the behest of the Minnesota legislature
and the State Federation of Forestry
clubs, which claim that the tract to be
offered should be purchased by the state
for park purposes, but, as tho state has
never complied with the terms of the
agreement with the government on
the Itasca park matter, this claim is con
sidered here as far-fetched.
"The land department Is inclined to the
belief that big lumbering concerns are
really back of the postponement. The es
timates are well known as being- the best
ever made, and the pine, if placed on the
market, would undoubtedly bring $5 per
thousand. But the Indians have been led
into the belief that a postponement is for
their best interests, and there has been a
rather queer combination of lumbermen,
ladies' clubs and Indians in favor of de
lay. William Ely P.ramhall. of St. Paul,
representing the federation, has filed sev
"The tract that was to have been put up
The tract that was to have been put up \
for sale comprises ten townships of valu
able Norway pine.
"It would have brought about $5,000,000.
The Indians will lose the Interest, and ,
those who really want the pine at less (
than the present appraisement will await |
a better chance. This ls the view taken ,
by the land department. The land office ;
here has been given to understand that
the state of Minnesota stands ready to ,
purchase a large tract of Norway pine \
for a health park, but that an approprla- (
tion can hardly be gotten through at this ]
session of the legislature, hence delay ls \
reauested."
Mr. Dunn, however, fails to see just
where the federation of forestry clubs j
comes In. He said that If the people in- \

were fortunate enough to secure an ap
propriation from the legislature sufficient
to buy the desirable tlmbt-r in itasea " A
park, to say nothing of Cass lake and
Leech lake reservation, they would be ac
complishing a great deal. The project re
ferred to in the dispatch was too great
for the state to undertake, as It would
entail an outlay of almost the whole
amount of the tax levy.
Mr. Dunn thinks if the Indians were to
sell their timber on the estimates which
have been lately made, they would realize
mure than they ever will again. He does
not see why the forestry clubs should cut
in. In fact, at the best they could not
buy but a. very small proportion of the
pine belonging to the red men. The real
Issue seems to be the interests of the
lumbermen. But whether or not the so
called forestry federation were espousing
the interests of the lumbering syndicates
Mr. Dunn would not venture an asser
tion.
Mr. Dunn says the sale should be made
this season, as it would unquestionably
be for the best Interests of the Indiana
living on the reservation.

SWOLLEN B\ DROPSY
After Three Years of SiiflVrlnc; Mr.

BUFFALO. N. V.. March 15.— "1 was a
sight," said A. H. Freeborough. of 191
Frank avenue, this city, to an interview
er, "and the agony 1 bore was Intense.
I had Dropsy for three years. My eyes
were puffed out and my limbs w< re badly
swollen. All the doctors could not help
me. I had about given up hope when I
read of positive cures of Dropsy by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I purchased one
box of the pills, and after taking part of
them the swelling began to go out of my
limbs and the puffiness around my eyes
disappeared. I have used four boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and am completely
cured."
This awful malady, Dropsy, yields to
Dodd's Kidney Pills alone. Many men
and women who have been given up by
the doctors have been rescued from the
grave through the use of these wonder
ful pills, which are a positive and per
manent cure for all forms of diseases
arising from disordered kidneys.
R. H. Altman, of Raze street, this city,
was troubled with Rheumatism for 10 or
11 years, being confined to his bed much
of the time, "after using four boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills," he says, ,tfl have
thrown my cane away, as now I can walk
without It."
Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by Drug
gists at 50 cents, a box, or six boxes for
