ISSUE FINAL ORDERS
ALDEUJIEX VOTE UNANIMOUSLY TO
PAVE MARSHALL AVEXI'E
WITH ASPHALT
NO OPPOSITION WAS MADE
Large Number of Marshall Avenue
Citizens Attend the Meeting-
Jackson Street Still to
Be Acted On.
Final order for the paving of Marshall
avenue and the award of the contract to
the B. F. Conway company, for $29,900,
received unanimous approval at the
hands of the board of aldermen last
evening. The motion to approve was
made by Aid. Murphy, and in its con
sideration not a dissenting voice was
heard.
The council chamber was well filled
with Marshall avenue property owners,
who came to support a petition demand
ing the placing of the contract, but their
services were not necessary. In fact, the
vote was taken so quickly that many
were not aware of what had been done.
Rescinding orders in t'helr relation to
Minnesota, Minnehaha and Decatur
streets, passed at a previous meeting,
practically made necessary the disposal
of the orders instructing the paving of
the three streets, and this was done,
each in tarn being killed by a decisive
vote.
Aid. Hunt, however, was most positive
that the orders had never been rescinded.
intimating that the records might have
been tampered with, butt when shown the
minutes, he had to admit that he waa
wiring. On the motion, which was prac
tically the killing of the awards in each,
Mr. Hunt was registered in the negative,
while the remainder of the opposition,
among them Aid. Bantz and Knauft,
divided their vote.
JACKSON LEFT OUT.
The only street now remaining for
•which bids had been received was Jack
son street from Ninth to Grove, and the
final order for this Aid. Murphy asked
to nave rescinded, supplementing his re
quest for a motion to that effect. The
material specified by the board of pub
lic works was asphalt, and the lowest
"bidder was the Barber Asphalt company,
they having asked $6,426.1$ for the work,
against the engineer's estimate of $5i,075.
This bid, said Mr. Murphy, after mak
ing his motion to rescind, was too high
when compared with the figure received
for .Marshall avenue. "1 know a lower
rate can be secured, and this council
owes it to the property owners to secure
it for them. With all this talk and in
sinuation about asphalt trusts, the pres
ent low bids must be credited to those
of the board and assembly who stood out
for the resolutions that a number are
now so busily engaged in condemning.
These very resolutions are responsible
for the price of asphalt paving existing.
They caused this war, and the property
owner is getting the benefit. Had Mar
shall avenue been readvertised, I have
been assured that a lower rate would
have been made by the Barber people,
but the property owners were a unit in
wanting the contracts given the Conway
company, and their request was granted.
They have to pay the bill, and I would
willingly vote for this street were the
property owners as solid for it. Field
ing & Shepley, a trust that St. Paul has
had to contend with for years, were in
strumental in bringing the Conway peo
ple to this city. They did it in the hope
that theY would down the Barber com
pany, and I am glad of it. It simply
sustains my position that if it had not
been for those indemnity resolutions we
would have bad no competition in pav
ing."
As against the proposition to rescind,
Aid. Bantz said it was against business
principles, and Incidentally, made a few
remarks to show that if it was not for
the Conway company, the Barber peo
ple would be enjoying a monopoly. He
cited the fact that when bids were called
for paving the market site, the Barber
people were the only bidders, and asked
a rate that was extremely high.
These remarks, Alderman Murphy said,
slmiply sustained his position, that if It
was not for the resolution, the Conway
company would not be in St. Paul. Field
ing & Sheptey, he said, had brought the
Conway company to St. Paul, in fact the
two companies were identical in inter
ests. It was a case of one trust fighting
the other, and the city was getting the
benefit.
Aid. Hunt remarked that legislation the
past few weeks had been decidedly in
favor of the Barber company, and In.
timated that if they were so flerfrous of
making a low bid, that they give the
city assurances of their sincerity by giv
ing a bond.
"They will give a bond,' returned Aid.
Murphy. If Marshall avenue had been
readvertised, the Barber company were
wnilng to assure this council that the
rate would be lower than the property
owners are now receiving. The property
owners were satisfied, however, and that
is sufficient.
The vote here followed, and Aid.
Murphy's motion carried. Aid. Bantz,
Hunt and Knauft only voting in the neg
ative.
The paving of Central Park place, a
contract to have been awarded to the
Conway company,, was killed. No com
ment was made. t
Following the disposal of these orders,
which leaves Marshall avenue only saved
from the wreck, preliminary orders were
introduced for the paving of Marshall
avenue and Central Park place, asphalt
being specified in each.
DIVISION OF OPINION.
Question 111 Council Over Granting
Electric Franchisee.
Both the Deering and the McCormick
Harvester companies, who have plants in
the midway district, have been given
permission by the city council to erect
poles and string wires connecting their
■warehouses with the power house of the
street railway company for the purpose
of securing power and light.
Some of the aldermen contend that the
grant Is against the spirit of the fran
chise enjoyed by the street railway com
pany, as it permits them to sell light and
power, a privilege foreign to their char
ter. Passage of the grant was secured
by Aid. Dobner.

PAPERS MADE OUT
UPOIN PROPER AUTHORITY GOV.
VAN SANT ISSUES EXTRADI
TION WARRANT
HAL J. DILLON MUST GO
Final Effort "Will Be Made to Pre
vent the Return of the- Fu
gitive From TennetKiee
Prison.
Late last night Warden W. H. Hart
ford, of the Tennessee state penitentiary,
who has been in the Twin Cities for
about a week on the Hal J. Dillon case,
made application to Gov. Van Sant for
the extradition of the prisoner, produc
ing an application from Tennessee of
ficials properly made out, as a substitute
for the defective papers upon which it
was proposed to return the fugitive. At
nearly midnight the legal papers were
made out by James A. Martin, the gov
ernor's executive clerk, and presented
to Warden Hartford. Unless, therefore,
Dillon's attorneys succeed in an under
taking which they will certainly make
this morning to have him released upon
a writ of habeas corpus, the man who
is charged with the abduction of a young
girl will have to return to the state
where he has been sentenced to a term
of fifteen years in the penitentiary.
It appears from the statements of the
Tennessee warden that the story of
Dillon's romantic case, as published in
the Globe, is strictly correct. Dillon
himself, in an interview which was given
out at Minneapolis and published in yes
terday's Globe, admitted that at the
time he was paying attentions to Miss
Chester, the "woman in the case," his
wife was not divorced from him. The
man is the father of three children.
Had not the papers arrived last night
upon which the extradiciton is made, it
is seriously doubtful that Dillon could
have been held any longer than this
morning at Minneapolis. Even under the i
present conditions his attorneys will in
all probability make a stern fight for
his liberty. Two writs of habeas corpus
have been issued and one is returnable
at Minneapolis this morning at 9 o'clock.
The case will be brought to some sort
of a finish when argument upon this writ
is taken up.
KILL HOTEL RUNNERS
AL.DBRME/X MAY ABOLISH THEM AS
A FKATEHMTY.
The committee on streets of the board
of aldermen will at its next meeting con
sider a proposition to do away, with what
is known as the hotel runner, a class
that haunt the vicinity of the union
depot and solicit patronage for fourth
cJass hotels.
Aid. Knauft is the author of trie ordi
nance which proposes this reform, and
he says he is actuated with the idea of
ridding St. Paul of a nuisance. Hotel run
ners in all other cities, he says, are
obsolete,- and should be in St. Paul. The
police also are responsible for the re
quest to Jiave the custom stopped, claim
ing that many of the men employed as
hotel runners include lines of business
that have for their end the fleecing of
the unwary.
If the ordinance should be approved,
soliciting at the depot gates will subject
the offender to a fine from $25 to $50.
RAISES A NEW LAW POINT
WITNESSES REFI'SE TO TESTIFY
IX THE NEELrY CASE.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., -tug. 6.—Arthur
Jordan, president, and Arthur R. Baxter,
treasurer of the Keyless Lock company,
accompanied by their attorney, ex-Mayor
Denny, went before United States Com
missioner Moores this afternoon and de
clined to testify as to contracts whi^h
the Indianapolis concern had with the
department of posts in Cuba, the same
to be used in the prosecution of Charles
F. W. Neely.
Formal declaration in written form
was filed and the same with points of
law raised will be referred by Commis
sioner Moores to Judge Baker, of the
United States district court. The prin
cipal reason given for the refusal of
Messrs. Jordan and Baxter to answer
the Interrogatories forwarded from the
Cuban court under the counter-signature
of Gov. Gen. Wood was that the Island
of Cuba is a foreign territory, and the
cause in question was pending in a for
eign jurisdiction, to which they owed no
allegiance. They claimed the Cuban
court had never acquired any jurisdiction
over citizens of the United States, and
that no law passed by the American
congress had conferred upon the Cuban
judge right to vest in a United States
commissioner right to compel citizens of
this country to testify against their wish

WAGES WAR ON MOSQUITOES.
Health Officer Doty Puts tb« Kero-
seiie Treatment to Worlc.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6,-Dt. A. H. Doty,
health officer of the port of New York,
and his assistants have at last com
menced the war of extermination on the
mostjuitos of Greaiter New York and vi
cinity. They have at Jast taken their
paraphernalia, which consists largely of
kerosene oil, to the pond near Concord,
Staten Island, and forced barrels of the
oil under the surface of the water. Tt
was expected that while the fluid is mak
ing Its way to the surface it will destroy
all the embryonic mosquito life therein.
Dr. Doty said he could not be positive
about the success of the experiment for
a month to come, but he thought it
would work well. Dr. Eugene Monagnan,
sanitary superintendent of the borough
of the Bronx, says he believes the ma
laria at Fordham was caused by the
mosquitos. The experiments of Dr. Doty
are being watched, and if they are suc
cessful the scattering of oil on the
swamps and low places in Fordham will
be begun.
The little fellow, whose parents roside
at Rice and University streets, accom
panied his mother on a shopping tour in
the afternoon, and while the latter was
waiting for change in a Wabasha street
store, Ray resolved to explore the
unknown recesses of the city. Without
requesting permission of his mother, he
walked out. and when missed was out
of eight. The frantic mother hunted
"high and low" for the boy, and final
ly it occurred to her to call at-the cen
tral station. In response to her in
quiries, she was informed thai a fair
haired little girl was the only thing in
stock in the line of lost children, and
to this she replied that Ray greatly re
sembled a girl. She went upstairs to In
spect the stock in trade, and was over
joyed to find that she had called at the
right place. Ray was accordingly led
away, although tie was apparently in
clined to devote more time to explora
tion of the woman's quarters.
The little fellow when taken up by an
officer was at Jackson and Sibley streets,
and was still bravely bent on seeing
more of the city.
In Labor's Field.
At the meeting: of the Carpenters'
union last night, presided over by Presi

and I). Evans were initiated. The union
devoted $5 to the street railway strikers
at Jamestown, N. Y. Business Agent
Morrison reported business good. Ed
ward Healey was elected a member of
the executive board, to replace John Ol
son. The Structural Iron Workers' union
asked the assistance and sympathy of
the Carpenters' union, of which they
were assured. The union agreed to pur
chase their uniforms from the Palace
Clothing house, and every member not
appearing in Labor day parade will be
fined $3. Receipts, $110.30; disbursements,
$27.50.
Sheet Metal Workers,
The Sheet Metal Workers had an un
usually interesting meeting at Assembly
hali last evening. It was decided to turn
out in the parade on Labor day, and Mar.
tin Wemgarth was elected marshal for
the occasion. Trade was reported good,
all members of the,union being regularly
employed. A communication was re
ceived from H. P. Fulton, of Marshall,
Minn., asking for a union tinner, but as
the members were all working in the cHy
ai:d vicinity, it was impossible to com
ply with the request. The communica
tion was therefore placed oh file. The
next meeting will be held cm Tuesday
evening, Aug. 20, when Unal preparations
Will be made for Labor day. Other busi
ness of importance will also be consider

President Fleury presided at a meeting
of tht Structural Iron Workers last
night, when there were sixteen initia

one, but, as a member remarked," their
success is due to the fact that every
member of the union voices the senti
ments of a member who said "We are
hero to stay." Their scale has been ap
proved by the Great Western railway
and all large corporations, as it is not ex
cessive and calls for $3 per day or 33 1-3

SEVEN KNOWN DEAD
AMI MOItH THAN SIXTY INJURED
IN PHILADELPHIA EX
PL.OISIOX
STILL SEARCHING THE DEBRIS
Police ami Fire Oflldnls Hold to the
Theory That . Caroline Was
the Cimse of the
Disaster.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.—Seven dead,
three or four probably fatally Injured
and more than sixty oilier persons hurt
rt ore or less seriously, Is the latest re
vised record of last night's explosion In
the block of buildings on Locust street,
above Tenth, in this city. How many
ir.ore victims, if any, arc still in thr> ruins
will not be known until the debris has
been cleared away, which will require
many more hours of hard work. The
latest find was made at 8 o'clock tonight,
when the badly burned remains of a col
ored man was found in the wreckage on
the sidewalk.
The list of dead is as follows:
ELJZAHETH MOUNTAIN, aged thirty
f.ight years.
FREDERICK LEE, ag<'d forty, colored.
VnUnown colored child, aged about
three years.
Unknown colored woman, aged about
twenty-edght, and three unknown colored
men. ranging in ages about thirty to
forty years.
The most seriously injured, who are
likely to die. are:
Mrs Patrick QuigU y. Samuel ' i
colored, Lizsie Watkins, colored, and
Morris Rosenthal.
The escape from death of Lizzie Wat
kins is considered remarkable. She was
buried almost a dozen feet under thte de
bris with fire all around her find was
taken from the ruins four and one-half
hours after the explosion occurred. Bhe
was badly burned and bruised and her
Isight was destroyed. A large number <'f
those that were not seriously injured
have left the hospitals, but quit, a num
ber will be confined to these institutions
for a few weeks.
Vndeterred by 'the incessant rain, thf>
work of searching for the dead was kept
up continuously during the twenty-four
hours since the explosion occurred. The
only person who was positively known
to be in the ruins was IJlizab-th Moun
tain, and a large force of men was kept
constantly at work In tl>r- debris where
her mother's house had stood. The ef
fcrts of the searchers were rewarded a 1 I
o'clock this afternoon when in the corner
of the cellar, covered partly by broken
bricks, the remains of the unfortunate
woman was found. Her mother and
brother had stood by during the entire
nisfht and day watching the searchers at
work.
Temporary electric lights have Been
erected at the scene of the explosion,
tonight 200 men under the direction of
the department of public safety are vig
< rously pursuing the search.
The police and fire officials ar"
making a search for- the cau.s^ of the
explosion, but tonight they have no
tivc proof as to Ms cause. They hold
to the theory that gasoline did the dam
age, and that it had been stored in enj
of the three grocery stores.
KING"S DECLARATION BILL
In Nut Likely to Pom at This Sc.s-
■ion of Parliunient.
LONDON, Aug. 6.—Although no division
was challenged at the third reading of
the king's declaration bill la,«?t evening in
the house of lords, it is generally believed
that no further attempt will be made to
pass it, either this session or the next.
Lord Salisbury, the premier, referring to
the statement of Catholic peers, said the
government now realized that the Cath
olics did not wish the offensive words in
the original declaration to be withdrawn
unless the government at the same time
withdrew the declaration regarding the
security of the Protestant succession.
The government never had the slightest
intention of withdrawing that. The Cath
olics regretted that they must be pre
pared to see the declaration stand in its
present form.
