HORSE AUCTIONS.
Their Success Prompts the Holding
of Another One Shortly.
The horse auctions inaugurated by
Thuet Bros., of South St. Paul, have be
come most popular during the past few
months under the management of this
firm, and several thousand head of horses
have found' 'ft^w owners as a result.
While the <gte*ober sale was one of the
largest of U^gseason it was deemed ad
visable to suspend the horse business with
the approach"" of cold weather. This ar
rangement 6*ffl not meet with the approval
of buyers, however, and the result of
numerous inquiries was another sale on
Tuesday and yesterday, when about 1,000
head of horses were disposed of at pri
vate sale' to the highest bidders. The
auction feature of the sale was largely
attended by local and out-of-town buy
ers, and bidding was spirited. The bulk
of the horses sold at prices ranging from
$20 to $25, while the better class, animals
sold at $50 and $75.
While the inquiries received beforehand
more than warranted the holding of the
sale the success that it attained was
astonishing to all who were interested.
So great, in fact, was the demand at thig
sale that it has been determined to. hold
one more before the winter fully opens.
Horse owners and horse buyers are alike
confident chat another sale is almost an
absolute necessity, and so it will be held
in the near future. The exact date has
not been decided on, but it- will probably
be in the first week in December. This
will be the 'final snle until next spring,
when It is the -Intention to mnKe them
a regular institution of the South St. Paul
stock yards, and during next spring and
summer large Tiorse auctions will be .held
by Thuet Bros! at intervals' of' t\\ 0, weeks.
Some idea of the magnitude of these
sales may be gained when it Is known
that the number of horses shipped into
the "Union stock yards at South St. Paul
during the first eleven months of 1899 ex
ceeds the' same period in 1898 by about
4,000 head.

FIGHTING THE ASSESSMENT.

grounds: That the board of public works

based on illegal principles or a mistake
of facts, and that the award of benefits

COVERS GROCERS TftO
PRODUCE! COMMISSION MEN CLAIM
(. HOt IlltS SHOULD OBEY
(.IMMIKI.AM) LAW
DEPENDS ON NATURE OF DEAL
Conference With State Railroad and
Warehoaie Commission — Orlnde
land I.nw iiM Applicable to Gro
cers Ik Discussed — A Fine l.i-«:il
Point Is liaised in Order to Bring
Them I'nder Provisions of Law.
The produce commission men are de
termined that if they Ore compelled to
obey the Grindeland law they will en
deavor to drag in the grocers of the state
under the same law. It is claimed that
the grocers are also doing a produce com
mission business, although they are called
grocers. With this purpose in view a
delegation of commission men from Min
neapolis visited the railroad and ware
house commission yesterday to ascertain
if the" commission, which is charged with
the enforcement of the Grindeland law,
would look upon the grocers as commis
sion men providing the fact could be
proven.
The meeting was by appointment, for
mer Attorney General Childs being pres
ent as the special attorney for the rail
road and warehouse commission in the
absence of Judge Mills, the regular legal
adviser of the commission. While the
delegation present representing the com
mission men were from Minneapolis they
claimed to represent the commission mer
chants throughout the entire state. The
position and situation were outlined by
the spokesman for the delegation as fol
lows:
"We believe that the grocers of Min
nesota, of whom there are 500 or COO in
the Twin Cities, are legally liable to come
under the provisions of the Grindeland
law, which requires all grain and prod
uce commission dealers to tile a bond
and take out a state license. We base
our claim upon the nature of their busi
ness, and the way it is conducted, and
hold that if we, as bona fide produce
commission men, are required to take out
licenses and give bonds, the grocers also
should be compelled to do so, otherwise
the grocers will get the big share of the
business, as they have no additional ex
pense to pay. From our point of view,
the grocers do a virtual commission busi
ness. Suppose, for instance, a farmer
sends to a grocer a dozen cases of eggs
without accompanying the consignment
with a regular bill, stating the price to
be paid. The grocer, of course, under
stands that the eggs are to be paid for
at the market figure, and that he is to
deduct a percentage for the expense of
handling them. The grocer looks at the
market figures and finds eggs are bring
ing 13 cents, wholesale; therefore he
sends .the farmer 12% cents, retaining the
balance as his commission, and then sells
the eggs at retail or wholesale, as he
sees fit. This, we hold, is a regular com
mission business. It is the same as we
produce commission men do. The grocer
certainly does a commission business, and
should be licensed if we are."
«."T£ at , de pe nd s somewhat on the nature
°if fi eal> su SS est ed Attorney Childs
It all depends upon whether or not the
title passes to the grocer when he takes
COl }% Snn \ ent - If he P a - Vs ca sh down,
without figuring commissions or expenses
he undoubtedly takes the title, and can
not be said to have bought or sold the
goods on the commission plan "
These grocers aim to do away with
oPthe S t°n m «V« r°«s.» excffim'ed one
or the latter. "They are trying to do
cutXTu^oft *?, th the P™duc!r thus
rWn "f« ♦ s i, out . If ,. you do n °t require
usTut'oVbtsVess.'^ 611868 hey Wlll run
..I'^ lf we . a » tak e out licenses we will
ni 1 much bette r business and there
otter ° P6rfeCt harmon >'-" suggested l an-
Chairman Ringdal, asked for his opin
'?" by / )ne of the commission men, said:
This board does not want to make fish
of the one and flesh of the other. It -II
hangs upon the legal question suggested
by Gen. childs, whether or not thftitle
of the goods passes to tire grocer when
he accepts the goods. The intention of
l»W C °™™ iS i?° n iS tO try and enforce the
law. This duty was laid, on us by the
legislature, and we have no option in the
a. commission business, then I suppose
they will have to take out licenses the
same as you fellows will have to do It
will be a big job, though."
If the commission men succeed in estab
lishing the fact that grocers are doing a
commission business under the Grinde
land law the grocers will be obliged to
take out licenses and give bonds or stop
handling goods on the commission plan.
WANT TO CUT OFF $11,000.
Appeal for Abatement of Taxes
From North St. Paul.
A large number of North St Paul
property owners have asked State Au
ditor Dunn to accept $5,000 in lieu of $16
457.28. now past due, for taxes. Tha
amount represents delinquencies of from
four to nine years. The owners in the
applications for an abatement claim that
if the property were sold It would not
bring anywhere near the amount claimed
Lnder a recent act of the legislature the
sale of land upon which delinquent taxes
have accrued is authorized, and if - the
law is strictly lived up to it would ruin
the village.
If the abatement is allowed it will It is
claimed, give the people a fresh 'start
and no hardships will arise. For future
prosperity the people are looking towards
the construction of the Apple River etec
trie plant, which would be brought near
the town. '
State Auditor Dunn has^taken the mat
ter under advisement.
GUILTY OF BIGAMY*.
3larl e Bentley Had More Husband*
Than the Law Allows.
The jury in the case of Marie Bentley
alias Maud Worthington, charged with
bigamy, yesterday brought in a verd'et
rinding the defendant guilty of the of
fense charged, but attaching a recommen
dation to mercy. John E. Hearn appear
ed for the defense and Assistant County
Attorney Zollman for the state.
It was charged that while married to
one Joe Holzern the defendant on fiay
10. 1899, was married to Pasqualo San
tillo by Court Commissioner Gallck
Both of the husbands were in court and
both had become sorry about the insti
tution of the prosecution and testified
with reluctance.
Mrs. Holzern, nee Worthington, told the
court that when Holzern had been sent
to the workhouse she had been told by
Santillo that the marriage was invali
dated. On this assurance she had in
good faith, married Santillo.
TO TEST ITS PIPES.
Water Hoard Will Learn If They're
< 'linrg-cd With Electricity.
Supt. Starkey, of the water department
does not think the water pipes of the
city have been as much damaged by
electrolysis as reported. Supt. Starkey
accompanied by City Engineer Clauss-n
and members of the water board, will
make a trip over the system in a short
time. By means of a volt meter it will
be ascertained to what extent the pipes
have been charged with electricity. Supt
Starkey says the city rail-way ci mpany,
electric light companies and the tele
phone companies may possibly be using
the water pipe 3 as a means of returning
their currents, and if this is the case a
test will show it.

COL. RICHARD T. FLOURNOY PASSES
AWAY AFTER A SHORT
ILLNESS
TRUE VIRGINIA GENTLEMAN
For a Score of Years He Wat Prom
inent tn Railway Affair* in St.
Paul— A Colonel In the Confed
erate Army During: the Civil War,
and Well Known In Masonic Cir
cles.
C.ol. Richard T. Flournoy, connected
with railway affairs in St. Paul since
15>7'.>, and prominent in fraternal and
business affairs, died early yesterday
morning at his residence. Summit place
and Dayton avenue, from heart failure,
complicated with other troubles. Though
for more than six months the condition
of his health has been such as to cause
a'arm, the fatal termination of his ill
ness was hardly anticipated.
During the middle of October the dis
ease which had been his menace for sev
eral years became so troublesome that
physicians recommended a change of cli
mate in hopes of a betterment. Col.
Flournoy and his' wife left on a trip
South, intending- to visit his old home in
i Virginia and spend the winter in a warm
er climate. "While in Philadelphia an at
tack of more than usual seriousness oc
curred, and made it necessary to return
home. Though constant care and the at
tendance of the most skilled physicians
was afforded, no considerable change
v.as manifest. Death came quietly while
he rested early yesterday, and Col.
Flournoy passed from life with hardly a
sign to indicate the transition.
Col. Richard T. Flournoy was "one of
the best known characters of the city.
He was born in Virginia, and was a type
of the gentleman for which that state
has been famous. He served in the Civil
war as a member of the Confederate
army, enlisting- as a captain under Gen.
Robert E Lee, and afterwards gaining
promotion for bravery and courage until
at the close of the Rebellion he was
n.ustered out as a colonel. Hoping for a
change of fortune Col. Fitmrnoy remov
ed to Chicago, and in the years following
the close of the great struggle was en
gaged in the lumber business in that city.
In 1875 he was offered a position with the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
road as lumber agent, which he accepted,
and removed to St. Paul. He served in
that capacity with the Omaha until Sept.
20, 18SS, when he was tendered the posi
tion of traveling freight agent of the old
Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railroad.
For several years he fulfilled the duties
of this position, and on the merging of
the Kansas City into the Great Western
system v/as appointed lumbar agent of
the latter road, in charge of the entire
department of securing material for rail
road work. He served the road faith
fully until within a month of his death,
when his request for a vacation to en
able him to make a trip South was grant
ed. His fatal illness prevented his re
turning again to his post.
As a member of Paladin Commandary
No. 21, Osman Temple, Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, and Constellation chapter.
Order of the Eastern Star, he stood high
in Masonic circles and was a prominent
i'.gjre for many years. He had other
Masonic affiliations in Chicago.
Mrs. Richard T. Flournoy and Al G.
Flournoy, his son, are the only surviving
members of his immediate family. The
funeral services will occur Friday fore
noon, at 10:30, at the family residence,
under Masonic auspices. Rev. Everts, of
the Woodland Park Baptist church, of
which both he and Mrs. Flournoy were

All Do Not Favor the Forty-Elgjht-
Hour I. aw.
The St. Paul mall carriers are divided
in regard to the advisability cf the fony
eight hour a week law that is pending
before congress, notwithstanding the fact
that the passage of the measure was rec
ommended at the national convention of
the Letter Carriers" association. Many
of them are of the opinion that the law
places it in the power of the postmaster
to make '.heir day's work as long as he
may deem advisable within the limit, and
is therefore objectionable.
"As I understand the law," said Su
perintendent of Carriers H. J. Hadl'ch
yesterday, "it will bo of benefit to the
public. For instance, on the first half o"'
the week the mail is usually light «nd
the carriers cover their routes much
more quickly than on the remainder of
the week. On Thursday, Friday and S it
urday, when the mails are heavy, owing
to the arrival of the country publics.-.
tions and the weeklies, the carriers work
eight hours under the (Mreseni sysiem and
then nring back the mail that they have
rot delivered. On Saturdays this remains
in the postofßce until Monday morning.
I believe that if the hours and half hours
saved earlier in the week are put in later
on it will mean a groat benefit for the
public. As it is now a man is credited
with eight hours, even if he only actual.
ly works seven hours."

the legal department of the city that a
copy of the ordinance passed by the coun
cil fixing the amount allowed the school
board for the school year at $422,210, of
which not to exceed $327,210 was to be for
teachers' salaries; be inserted. Also that
a copy of the budget sent to the council
June 16 by the school board fixing the
salaries of teachers and a resolution
passed by the school board reaffirming"
the salaries In the budget, be made a
part of the record. It was also deemed
best by the corporation attorney that a
statement be included showing that if the
salaries fixed by the board were paid on
the basis of the October pay roll submit
ted, the amount appropriated by the coun
cil would be expended before the ten
months of the school year had elapsed.
The amendments requested to the

Ol'T TO CARVE HIS EXEMY.
John Allen Gets After Fred Esehle
With a Knife.
Trouble over a negro woman led to a
cutting affray between John Allen, col
ored, and Fred Eschle yesterday, in which
Eschle was slightly injured. Allen is the
husband of the woman in the case.
The cutting occurred at Joseph Zemet's
tinshop, Selby avenue and St. Albans
street, where *Eschle worked. Allen vis
ited the place, and, after a short conver
sation with Eschle, pulled a pocket
knife and made several vicious slashes
at Eschle. One stroke of the blade made
a slight cut on Eschle's forehead, while
in another effort Allen cut Eschle's trou
sers across the abdomen, but the knife
did not penetrate the flesh.
According to Allen's story, Ea.ehle has
alienated the affection of his wife. Allen
says he met Eschle at Eighth and Robert
street Tuesday evening, and that the
white man drew a revolver on him. Allen
will not say what he went to see Eschle
for, simply insisting that Eschle came be
tween him and his wife. He says he did
not intend to hurt Eschle, merely wishing
to scare him so he. would let the woman
alone.
