Plans will ■- filed in a few days witli the city building department by the Sis ■ ters of St. Joseph for a new school build ing to be erected at Cleveland and Ran dolph streets. It will be of brick, three stories in height and will represent an expenditure of 160,000. In a way the structure, which will be known as the administration building, will !>e the first of a series of buildings for "boarding school purposes that tho Sisters of St. Joseph will erect at that point. When the idea of a ne-w college or school building was conceived by the sisters some years dgo, the scheme ma terialized to the extt-nt that ground was purchased and the foundations for a building put in. The plans then called for one large building, in which would !)'■ the dormitory, class room and all other departments necessary to a nrs' class ladies' boarding school. TJhe plans have since .been changed, and instead of one large building there will be a series of brick structures, each separate and distinct from the others. The admin istration building, the dimensions of Which will be 148x56 feet, is the first of the number. Work will be started in the next .sixty days. The sisters at present conduct a school at Kelson and Western, it being a day •1. This will not be abandoned. The school at Cleveland and Randolph streets will permit a full collegiate course, and will furnish boarding facilities for those -who attend.

GRICGS RESIGNS First Assistant Corporation Attorney Decides to Step Out May 1 RESUMES LAW PRACTICE He Decide^ to Enter Into a Le«;nl Partnership With «.«■<». s. Squires —Speculation in City Hall Cir cles as to His Successor. Franklin H. Griggs has .resigned aa first assistant corporation attorney. His letter giving up the office was placed in the hands of his chief, Corporation Attorney Markham, last night. This was the rumor current around the city hall at a late hour yesterday afternoon, and though Mr. Griggs re fuse-s to vouch for its correctness, it is true. The resignation is to take effect May 1, when Mr. Griggs will enter into a law partnership with George S. Squires, a prominent local attorney. "I am not responsible for rumors," laughingly said Mr. Griggs last night, when pressed as to the truth of the story. "I'd like to quit—but call around again, probably I might tell you a story." The remainder of Mr. Griggs' remarks was just evasive. He was not inclined to talk. While officially first assistant, Mr. Griggs has practically been the head of the legal department, as fully two thirds of the opinions emanating from that section of the municipal govern ment, since he has been a member of it, have borne his signature. In matters political he has been just as active, and this fact, coupled with his duties as one of the principal legal advisers of the city, lent more than usual interest to the gossip which was abroad yesterday. The question as to who his successor would be was just as absorbing. Heretofore in his official household Corporation Attorney Markham has ob served a plan of regular promotion, and if this policy is adhered to, Thomas Mc- Dermott, at present second assistant, will succeed Mr. Griggs. He is competent, well versed in the intricacies of the new charter, and it is the general opinion that he will be selected. Others mentioned for the place are George E. Markham, a brother of the corporation attorney, and Frank Arnold, at present a Republican candidate for assemblyman. HOPE RANDOLPH LINE WILL BE REOPENED Residents of Eleventh Ward Ex pecting: to Have Better Service. Residents of the Eleventh ward and those living along what several years ago was known as the Randolph street car line are greatly interested in a rumor to the effect that the Twin City Railway company may shortly take. step 3 to have the line reopened and the old service re established. "It's news to me," paid Supt. Bow Smith last night. "I know that territory is building up fast and could furnish some patronage for a street car line, but as to such being done I have no knowl edge. I don't think there is anything in the rumor." The Randolph street car line, which was originally conceived by Archbishop Ire land and Thomas Cochrane, aided by a bonus of over $50,000 furnished by the property owners whose holdings it ac commodates, was abandoned by the Pres ent company, which absorbed it about three years ago. It began at the junc tion of Seventh and Randolph streets, and extended in a comparatively straight line to the Mississippi river. The present company abandoned it because it was claimed that it did not Pay, though not without vigorous objections from those who had assisted in its construction. Some of the old track still remains. Supt. Smith says the time may come ■when it will be thought profitable to re open the line, but at present the matter is not being considered by the company. At present the Eleventh ward is enjoying a building boom, several colleges and private schools having been lately erected. COXDEMINED IX MISSOURI AXD COX- FISCATED IH SEW YOHK. Judge Clarke, of St. "Louis, has con victed and fined heavily a number of grocers for selling baking powders con taining alum. The week before the Health Depart ment of JNew York seized a quantity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with ground rock, and dumped it into the river. The Health Authorities are thus tak ing effective means to prevent the intro duction into our markets of injurious substitutes in place of wholesome baking powders. As alum costs only two cents a pound there is a er_~t temptation for those manufacturers who make substitutes and imitation goods to use it. Alum baking powders can be detected by the health authorities by chemical analysis, but the ordinary housekeeper, whose assistance in protecting the health of the people is Important, cannot make a chemical ex amination. She may easily know the alum powders, however, from the fact that they j.re sold at from ten to twenty cents for a pourn. can. or that some prize —like a spoon or glass, or piece of crocKery or wooden ware—is given with the powder as an inducement. As the peorle continue to realize the importance of this subject and consum ers insist on having baking powder or established name and character and as the health auuioritles continue, their vigorous crusades, the alum danger will homes linally be driven from our Found So Trace of Burglars. The police received a telephone mes sage at 3 o'clock yesterday mornirW from the residence of C. W. Fisher, 47 Irvine Place saying that burglars were trying to get into the house.

Commander of the Knights Templar of Minnesota has sent out notices to members of the order in Minnesota an nouncing the death of B. F. Farmer of Spring Valley, Minn., past grand com mander. The notice reads as follows: Grand Commandery of Knights Tem plar of Minnesota, St. Paul Minn April 23, 190,-To the Knights Templar oi Minnesota and Sister Grand Jurisdic tions; it is with profound sorrow that 1 announce to you the recent suddm death of R. £. Benjamin Franklin J'anner, past grand commander, well an-i personally known by all who take an active part in the cause of Masonry In i-iinnesota, and one who received at the hands of the fraters all the honors In <■ fthV P,(? Wer t0 bestow- He served you faithfully and well, and was not out' of eervl.ee until he breathed his last. His genial good nature won the confidence and esteem, respect and admiration or all who knew him, and his presence will be sadly missed by the multitude of mends who surrounded him wherever he went. May we who are left be ever willing to assist in bearing a part of the bur uen which he bore so long and faithfully and may the remembrance of the pre cepts he practiced stimulate us to emu late his noble example. Sir Knight Farmer died suddenly at his home at Spring Valley, Minn., on tho morning of Sunday, April 27, 1902. He was born in the state of Ohio in 1832 and came to Minnesota over forty years ago, and setled at Spiing Valley, which has been his home ever since. He was prominently identified with the early history of Southern Minnesota, and oc cupied positions of trust and responsibil ity, was always foremost in the promo tion of public schools, and served many years as president of the Spring Valley school board. Having been engaged in banking for many years he was a man in his community who was looked up to, and his counsel and advice sought fre quently. His Masonic history dates back to the year IM>5, when, on the 7th of December he was initiated in Sprine Valley lodge No. 58, A. F. & A. M.; passed Jan. il. ISGV, and raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason March 22, ISG7. He be came master cf his lodge in 1869, and served as such at various times for four teen years. He received the capitular ciegreo in North Star chapter No. 11, at Chatiield. in April, 1873. He was cre ated a Knight Templar March 23, 1881, in St. Bernard Commandery, No 13 at Austin on Jan. 1?, 1895, transferred his membership to Malta Commandery No. 25, at Preston. Grand Coiuummler in 1597. He was elected grand junior warden of the grand commandery of Minnesota, June 24, 1593, and by successive steps was promoted to the office of grand comman der, to which he was elected June 21, tSBT. Ho served the grand commandery long and faithfully, and during all the time he occupied official positions therein he was particularly zealous in visiting the different commandeujes, always aid ing them by his wise counsel and advice. He was a thirty-second degree Mason cf the A. & A. S. R. for the southern .-jurisdiction of the United States, and two years ago was honored by being made a knight commander of the court of honor. He was a member of the Masonic Vet erans' association from its inception, oc cupying various official positions, until at its last meeting he had the distin guished honor of being elected president of the association. He was an honored member of St. George's Conclave, Knights of the Red Ci^tss of Constan tine, and was ever ready, at its meet ings and social gatherings, to assist in the education and entertainment of its members. In his departure from us Minnesota has lost one of its foremost citizens, a most respected and kind-hearted friend to all those who needed his friendship. Let us consider his life and show to tho world by our future actions that we have not failed to profit thereby, so that, when the time for our summons comes, we may the better be prc-pared to enter upon the life beyond and into the pres ence of the grand captain of our salva tion. The death change comes Death is another life, we bow our heads, At going out we think and enter straight Another golden chamber of the king's, larger than this we leave, and lovelier. And then, in shadowy glimpses, discon nect. The story flower-like, closes thus its leaves. The will of God is all in all." As the grard commandery meets on Wednesday, April SO, the funeral will not occur until the day following. May 1. —J. W. Chamberlain, Grand Commander. St. Paul members who Intend to be present at the funeral will leave the union depot at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn ing in a special car. TRAINLOAD OF FURNITTJEE.

Tridner END OF YEAR'S CONTEST J. W. Kaepsell Wins Second and 11. T. Sondergaard Third Place- Contest "Was Very Close- Meeker County on Top. Minnesota's first educational butter con test is at an end, and John Fridner, of Strout, Meeker county, becomes the proud possessor of Gov. Van Sant's gold medal which represents the championship of the state in buttermaking. Mr. Fridner did not win in yesterday's scoring, and was indeed unusu-ally low, being but 93%, but he had done so well previously that he has the highest average for the twelve months, 95.87, which is an extraordinary record. J. W. Kaepsell, of Lewiston, Wi nona county, is second, with a score of 95.04, and H. T. Sondergaard, of Litch field, Meeker county, third, with an av erage score of 94.91. Mr. Sondergard won the contest decided yesterday. He also won the March contest, making two straight winnings, which is something un usual. The result of the twelfth and last con test was as follows: H. T. Sondergaard, Litchfteld, 97; N. P. Jensen, Forest City, %\; M. P. Mortenson, Stockholm, 26^. Last Contest the Best. The final contest was one of the very best of the entire year, the bu-tter being of exceptional quality and splendid uni formity, only fractions of a point dividing the leaders. The contest was the first of its kind ever held in the United States and it has attracted wide attention and received universally favorable comment from dairymen throughout the country. Mr. McConnell instituted these monthly scoring contests for the purpose of in teresting buttermakers in the educational phase of buttermakir.g, to improve the methods of buttermaking by increasing the interest of the buttermakers in getting the very best results. The buttermakers entered into the contest with enthusiasm, and the contests have increased in popu larity with each month's scoring. There has, been a constant improvement in the quality and especially in the uniformity of the butter. Buttermakers have derived great benefit from the contests. The de partment has helped them to remedy de fects in their butter, and mistakes in their methods' of making butter. The friendly rivalry has resulted in general improve ment all along the line. From every con testant the department has received an urgent request to continue the contests and Mr. McConnell says he hopes to be gin another series in the fall. In view of the national contest about to begin, it has seemed advisable to drop the state con test temporarily. The -national contest, by the way, was the result of the suc cess and popularity of the Minnesota ex periment. The Medal Cost $100. The Van Sant medal, won by Mr. Frid ner, is a beautiful gold medal which cost $!00. In addition to this prize all the con testants who averaged above 93 for the twelve months will receive a beautiful diploma from the department. There will be thirty o£ these diplomas, which shows how well the contestants have done, and how close the contest has been. Meeker county on the whole has done the best. Mr. Fridner and Mr. Sondergaard are both from Meeker county, and Mr. Lund, of Forest City, is very close to the leaders, having won first place once, second place once and third place four times. Fridner won first place twice, second place twice and third place twice. Mr. Kaepsell, who wins second place, secured the highest score in any contest, scoring 98 in the October contest. The first scoring was in May of last year with the following result: M. J. Henderson. Cokato, 57%; N. C. Lawson, Geneva, 97*4; W. Lund, Forest City, 97. Other contests resulted as fol lows: June, H.

Commissoner McConnell will today is sue an official statement giving the aver ages of all contestants. He declined to make an official statement last night, as the leaders were so close together that he wished to verify the figures before of ficially promulgating them. STREET RAILWAY IS TRYING OIL TOR FUEL Burners Being Installed in Hill Street Power Station as an Experiment. If the experiment now being made proves a success, Health Commissioner Ohage will have no further cause for complaint against the St. Paul City Rail way company, as far as a badly smoking chimney is concerned. The company is now equipping its six boilers at the Hill street power house with fuel oil burning grates, and hopes to have them in posi tion by Monday. The oil. now much used as fuel in other cities, will be pumped direct from a cen tral storage tank to the fire boxes under the boilers, and by means of a series of specially constructed burners, will fur nish the flame by which the steam will be kept up to pressure. The grate and ap hances inside the boiler Is not unlike the burners of a gasoline stove, except that instead of the vapor that gasoline fur nishes, the cil will be distributed in a fine spray over the grate bars, the igni tion of whieto will furnish steady flame and heat to every part of the boiler's fire surface. If the experiment proves a success, crude oil will be used for fuel by the rail way company in every cne of its power houses. There will be no smoke, and the use of stokers will be dispensed with. The St. Paul Gas Lighting company, . which also uses a part of this station, will equip its boilers with the same ap pliances. HOGS SELL FOR HIGH PRICES AT SO. ST.

The criticism given last night by the , very large audience present was a kindly one indeed, judging from the spontaneous applause and fre quent encores.

Miss Campbell played Liszt's Gnomen Reigen" and Greig's "Wedding Day, displaying a sure tecnnique and a nice appreciation of the underlying thought in both compositions.

MOTORMAN IS BLAMED CORONER'S Jl RV IITVBSTIGATES DEATH OK JE.WIE THKSSI.KH Verdict Was That Motormnn Wai Either Guilty of GroM Negligence or Else lie Was Incompetent— Damaging Testimony of the Wit nesses. Jennie Tressler's death was either due to the negligence of Motonnan John Schutz or be was Incompetent. This ia the substance of the verdict render d by the coroner's jury called yesterday to in vestigate the death of Blx-year-old Jennie Tressler, who was Wiled by a Lafayette street car on Greenbrier avenue Sunday night. The verdict in f:iil la as follows: "In the first place when the child was struck it was an unavoidable aceid< nt, but, through the incompetence or negli gence of the motorman in charge, when, after carrying the child tor hv yards or more on the tender, and not bringing hi-; car under control, we hold that the c-n.ld's death was due to the nef 01 in competence of the moLOrman in charge of said oar on Greenbrier avenue, near Case street, on the evening oi April Z't 1962." Witnesses Blame Motorman. Several witneosea to the accident ap peared before the jury yesterday morn teg to give their testimony, which was generally to the effect that the motorman Jailed to Btop the car within a r< able distance after the little girl was on the fender. Schutz, ths_ motorman, in testifying on his own behalf, said that as soon as the fender struck the girl lie -chut off the current and stopped t. as soon as possible. He said that after the car struck her he never saw lie; again. All witnesses, including 1 the motorman and the conductor, tesLilied that the car was running nearly fifteen miles an hour when the accident occurred. This is the usual rate of speed in that section, and there is no city ordinance which sp how fast the cars may go that applies to that portion of the city. Albert M. Grates, who resides at 917 Greenbrier avenue, in front of which place the remains of the little girl w, re. picked up, was the first witness to tes tify. He said he saw the girl and other children playing tag. He heard some screaming and looked in time to See Jennie run directly in front of the car. The fender pushed her along underneath the rope net until she had rolled back to the front trucks, and almost immediately the rear trucks of the car passed over her body. The car was twenty feet past the mangled remains when brought to a standstill. She ran in front of the car at Greenbrier and Case, and when the car was finally stopped it was in the mid dle of the next block. Car Was Going; Fast. In regard to the speed of the car Grates said it was going fully fifteen miles an hour, and coming down the grade. Herman G. Schulte, who lives next door to Grates, gave substantially the same testimony, except in regard to the speed. He said that it was running at its usual rate, but that it always went by that place fast. Willie Tressk-r. the ten-year-old brother of the girl, told the same story. When asked whether he heard the motorman ring the bell he said that he did not.
