WEATHER -
SAYS WARMER
Figures That Mercury "Will
Not Fall Below Zero
Point Today.
I' Unless indications fail there will be
a rise in the temperature today. In-
Btead of 17 below, as registered yes
terday morning, last evening the mer
cury stood at 4 below. Though during
the night it sunk considerably, it will
today, undoubtedly, rise to the zero
point, if not above.
A remarkable weather situation was
the cause of the present cold wave,
lor while Calgary, Battleford, Edmon
ton and Kamloops were enjoying a
temperature in each case many degrees
above zero, Qu'Appelle, Minnedosa and
Winnipeg were suffering from extreme
cold, which was carried down to St.
Paul and vicinity by a direct north
■wind. The reason for the difference
in the temperature in the Northwest
territory was that a south wind was
blowing across the Canadian border
from North Dakota west of Minnedosa,
while east of that point a direct north
Avind swept down from the frozen
Vegions of Northern Canada. The high
temperature reported from the West
fern points named, therefore; ■svill give
Vio hope for a relief in this section. But
it is possible that the north wind that
has been giving us the Winnipeg wea
ther will switch and give relief.
W. E. Oliver, head of the local wear
ther bureau, has prepared some inter
esting statistics on the weather that
has prevailed in St. Paul during the
month of January during the past
thirty-two years. The warmest Janu
! ary was that of 1880, which had an
I average of 26 degrees above. The cold
est January was that of 1888, when the
temperature averaged 1 below. The
: highest temperature in this period was
on the 22d of January, 1900, when the
; thermometer registered as high as 51
. above. The lowest, on the other hand,
was the 21st, in 1888, when the mercury
fell to 41 below.
The average number of clear days
in the months of January during the
past thirty-two years was 9, partly
cloudy days, 13, and cloudy days, 9.
The prevailing wind has been from the
northwest. The average snowfall has
been .92 inches. The greatest precipi
tation was in January, 1881, when it
was 4.34, while the smallest precipita
tion was in 1892, when it was .02
inches.

FRIGHT GIVES NO
CAUSE OF ACTION
NO DAMAGES DUE IF CONDUC
TOR'S BEHAVIOR IS NOT LE
GALLY WRONG
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AN INTERESTING CASE
Same Tribunal Also Holds That the
Duluth Street Railway Company
Must Extend Its Line in West Du
luth, as That Village Was Not Guilty
of Laches.
Half a dozen decisions were handed
down by the supreme court yesterday,
and in five of the cases the orders of
the lower court were sustained.
In the case of A. W. and Caroline
Sanderson, appellants, vs. the North
ern Pacific Railroad company, respond
ent, the court holds that damages can
not be recovered from a railroad com
pany because a passenger becomes
frightened at the action of a conduc-
Th& appellants and their four chil
dren started for Cedro, Wash., from
Rice Lake, Wis., two years ago. San
derson purchased two full tickets for
himself and wife and a half ticket for
his twelve-year-old son, the agent at
Rice Lake informing him that this
transportation would be sufficient for
the family.
The conductor on the Northern Pa
cific demanded fares for two children,
six and eight years old, and fixed the
amount due at $40.
Conductor Gets Busy.
Sanderson at first refused to pay,
and at Minneapolis the elder of the
two children was put off the train.
The conductor attempted to seize the
little girl, who sat next to her mother.
The father finally paid the $40, and
then he and his wife both brought
suits. Sanderson claimed $2,000 dam
ages for loss of his wife's services and
$40 for the amount he had paid in fees.
Mrs. Sanderson asked for $2,000 be
cause of injury to her health by rea
son of fright.
The trial court ordered a verdict for
the railroad company in the suit
brought by Mrs. Sanderson, and a jury
gave Sanderson $42, the amount he
had paid the conductor, with interest.
The trial court directed judgment for
the railroad company, notwithstanding
the verdict, and an appeal was taken.
The syllabus of the decision, written
by Chief Justice Start, is as follows:
A. W. Sanderson, appellant, vs. Northern
Pacific Railway Company, respondents.
Syllabus—l. No appeal lies from an
order granting- a motion for judgment not
withstanding the verdict.
2. There can be no recovery for fright
which results in physical injuries in the
absence of contemporaneous injury to the
plaintiff, unless the fright is the proximate
result of a legal wrong against the plain
tiff by the defendant. Order affirmed.
■ —Start, C. J.
Duluth Company Must Extend Line.
Justice Lewis, in a decision, holds that
the Duluth Street Railway company must,
extend its line in West Duluth out Grand
avenue. A village ordinance, passed by
the West Duluth council, provided that
the extension be made on or before a
certain day, provided the streets were
graded sixty days prior to the date. The
council did not demand the construction
of the line until nine years, after the pas
sage of the ordinance. The court holds
that the proviso about the grading was in
serted for the benefit of the railroad com
pany, and it was not released because the
streets were hot graded within the; time
stated. v
On the point that the demand was not
made until after nine years, the court
holds the village was not guilty of laches
on that account. The order of the St.
Louis county district court is affirmed.
The decisions in the other cases are
as follows:
William A. Robertson et al., respondents,
vs. Willard P. Burton, appellant.
—Lewis, J.
State of Minnesota, respondent, vs. Ole
B. Holton, defendant. Order affirmed.
—Start, C. J.
Roswell Bowers and Frank Bowers, co
partners as Bowers -Brothers, respon
dents, vs. M. C. Whitney, appellant,
rder affirmed. —Start, C. J.
L. B. Mackay, appellant, vs. Minnesota
State Agricultural Society, respondent.
Syllabus—A contract executed by re
spondent and appellant, granting the
right to conduct a vaudeville show in the
state fair grounds, construed and held:
1. Appellant acquired a mere privi
lege or license upon conditions named,
and did not acquire any interest in the
real estate designated in the contract as
the location for the performance.
2. The privilege so granted was sub
ject to cancellation upon a violation by
the licensee of the contract provisions.
3. The privilege having been revoked
and the entertainment prohibited for the
reason that the terms of the contract
were wilfully broken by the licensee, he
is without remedy and is not entitled to
recover any part of the consideration paid.
Judgment affirmed. —Lewis, J.
Firemen Are Kept Busy.
The fire department had a lively time
again last eveningl owing to the efforts
of citizesn to keep warm. Early in the
evening: the department was called to
extinguish a small blaze in the plumbing
establishment of Allan Black, Sixth street
near Jackson. A chimney fire at the home
of Mrs. H. Collins, 624 Wabasha street,
and a second en Aurora avenue, brought
out the department. In neither case was
there damage. A fire occurred in the
commission house of T. Manner, 22 East
Third street, caused by a chair left too
close to a stove. No damage was done
to the stock.
More Ground for Terminals..
The St. Paul Stock Yards company has
just sold to the St. Paul Terminal and
Transfer company, over whose tracks the
Rock Island is operated, a strip of land
for right of way purposes. The transac
tion involved a transfer of $30,000. The
ground is near South Park.
Where the Cases Differed.
Ex-Gov. Powers, of Maine, was enter
taining a coterie in the house committee
on territories the other day with anec
dotes from his picturesque career. He was
in congress twenty years ago, but qu^t
after ore term, stayed at home, made a
little money, and eventually became gcv
ernor of his state for four years. Then
he came back to congress.
"I had little idea of really coming back
to the house," said the ex-governor. "I
didn't feel much like it, but some of the
boys came to me with an appeal to get
into the race. They set forth the con
ditions and asked me to run to prevent
a little fuss. And I did."
"Well, governor," said one of the West
ern membars of the committee, who sits
■wol\ up at the head of the table, "there
was a condition something like that in
my district last summer. Several can
didates were grooming, but it was ap
parent there would be a fuss unless I
was nominated. But, unlike your case, I
was the fallow who was going to make
the fuss." —Washington Post.
His Sanity Unquestionable.
Dr. Charles Cary, one of Buffalo's best
known physicians, tells a story of his ex
perience when called before the surro
gate court of Erie county to give evi
dence as to the testamentary capacity
of a prominent citizen whose will was
being contested. His opinion was decid
edly in favor of the • testator, based upon
a recent interview he had with him.
"Please state what transpired at that
interview," said the surrogate.
"I called upon the testator to interest
him in a project I'then had for building
a crematory, and to secure his co-opera
tion, if possible. He replied: 'Charles,
I have no doubt that air the advantages
set forth by you are correctly stated,
but personally I prefer to remain a weep
ing-willow man.' "—St. Louis Star.

apology.

LATE HOURS ONLY
SAVE BOARDERS
Fire in Boarding House
Might Have Had Fatal
Consequences.
Had.it not been Christmas night the
fire which early Thursday morning
caused great excitement and about $400
loss at the home of Mrs. Mary O'Don
ald, 386 Exchange street, would prob
ably have been attended with fatal
consequences. Only the custom of
keeping- late hours on Christmas night
and the excitement of the day's cele
bration led to a timely discovery of
the fire and the escape of the roomers.
The fire was extinguished before it had
caused large damage.
The fire was said to have been caus
ed by the igniting of coal which fell
from an overhead bin onto the furnace.
Tenants of the apartment said last
night that they heard the breaking of
timber which brought the wood and
coal in contact with the furnace pipes
the day previous to the fire. The fire
evidently smouldered for some hours
before it reached a blaze for the house
filled with smoke and coal gas early in
the evening.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
the smoke and gas became so strong
that one of the roomers called Mrs.
O'Donald. Mrs. O'Donald made an in
vestigation and found the fire creeping
up the stairs from the basement. In
tense excitement was caused by the
discovery, and the roomers, scantily
clad, rushed out into the cold winter
night to the neighboring apartment
house, where they found shelter. The
fire department was called by some of
the cooler members of the household.
The roomers suffering the heaviest
were J. N. Deneen and J. H. Laughren,
who occupied the room directily over
the furnace. About one-fourth of the
floor in the room was burned and much
damages caused to clothing by the
smoke.
STREET CAR COMPANY
IS SHORT OF COAL
Unless It Can Obtain More Anthracite,
Cars May Not Be
Heated.
The Twin City Rapid Transit company
has only about 1,000 tons of hard coal
with which to supply its car heaters dur
ing the remainder of the winter. Repre
sentatives of the corporation are now
East, making strenuous efforts to secure
the delivery of 2,000 tons of anthracite
in St. Paul and Minneapolis immediately,
but there is yet no certainty that such
delivery can-be
Experiments have been made with va
rious grades of. bituminous coal during
the last few weeks, but it is impossible
to use this form of fuel for the heaters,
owing to the heavy discharge of gas into
the cars. With the present type of car
heaters, nothing can be used satisfactorily
except anthracite.
THIS WOMAN WILLING
TO LIVE IN DENVER
That Is, if the Right Man Can Be Found
for Her.
Assistant Postmaster Vick Roy was
much disturbed yesterday by a letter
which he received. The missive came
in the morning mail, and after reading It
Mr. Vick Roy sat looking out of the win
dow in such an absent-minded way that
Postmaster Twombly asked if he were
ill.
"No. it is not that," said Mr. Vick Roy.
"Well, what is it?" inquired Mr.
Twombly. "You're not in love?"
This was intended for a joke, but Mr.
Vick Roy's face grew very red and con
fused.
•'lt's not exactly that, either; but I don't
know what to do with her."
"With her?" exclaimed the postmaster.
"Yes, the widow," said Mr. Vick Roy,
continuing to look out of the window.
"When an /unmarried man talks of
widows —" began the postmaster.
"I'm not talking of her," cried Mr. Vick
Roy, sitting erect. "It's him I'm thinking
of."
The mystified postmaster waited to hear
the story. Mr. Vick Roy then produced
a letter.
"Now, here it is," he said. "I'm no
match-maker, neither am I a matrimonial
agency. What would you do with it?"
The letter follows:
"Assistant Postmaster — Dear Sir: I
have heard that in your city there are a
number of unmarried men, and that the
number of marriageable women is so small
that they are in great demand. I am no
longer very young. I will state frankly
that I am now fifty years old. I am
rather good-looking and a good cook. My
husband has been dead a number of years.
"During the period of my widowhood,
which I hope is nearing a happy termina
tion. I have taken boarders and kept a
laundry- I do not like the laundry busi
ness. It has not been particularly profit
able. All this, my dear sir, is I feel due
you by way of explanation, and I hope
that you will remember it afterward.
"Not long ago I was talking with a
friend who told me a number of interest
ing things about Denver. She said that
there were plenty of men there, but very
few women. I got to thinking it over, and
the result of my reflections was that Den
ver impressed me favorably. 'Why not
live in" Denver?' I asked myself. So I
have definitely decided. I am willing to
go West to live. I thought the best plan
was to put the matter in your hands.
"I am willing—this and the facts I have
given you will enable you to choose the
man. lam willing to come to Denver to
be married or he can come here and take
up the laundry business. I prefer the
former plan. However, you may decide
for me. Will you kindly place this letter
in the hands of the right man?"
Then followed the name and address,
which Mr. Vick Roy refused to reveal.
"Well, what shall we do about it?" ask
ed Mr. Vick Roy.
"I can't see," said Mr. Twombly. slow
ly, "but what it's up to you. The laun
dry business —"
But before he could finish the sentence
the assistant postmaster tore up the let
ter. Then he was sorry.
"Perhaps I had no right to do that," he
mused. "How could I tell whether it was
really my letter, or whether it belonged
to another man?" —Denver Republican.
No "Prero<f Over American Girls.
Sir Michael Herbert, the British am
bassador, as the «vest of the Tantalus
club last night; was the recipient of much
genial hospitality and a rew sly hits. The
most direct hit came from Representative
Palmer, of Pennsylvania. After a mock
serious discussion of the speakership and
•the prerogatives of American citizens, he
mentioned one of the rights of British
citizens, according- to Blackstone, which
was "the right to beat his wife with a
stick no larger than his thumb." "That
is coupled witii the provision," added Mr.
Palmer, with a. courteous bow to the Brit
ish ambassador, "ttoat he has not married
a Yankee girl. In that case the prerog
ative doesn't 3>rer»g.' "—New York Trib

BABCOCK SAYS
LETTER IS A FAKE
SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT HAS
REACHED THE ROORBACK
STAGE
JAMISON CHARGED WITH
SHOWING BOGUS EPISTLE
Authenticity of Unsigned Document
Promising Defeat of Governor's Pet
Measures in Event of Wadena Man's
Election Denied by Affidavit—Good
fellowship Dove Takes Wing.
With Christinas over and out of the
way the roorback season has arrived,
and, as predicted by Th c G1 ob c, bids
fair to remain a wide open season un
til the fteht for the speaker's gavel is
closed«by an election.
The spirit of good fellowship sup
posed to pervade the speakership con
test, and which was the source of con
gratulations to a person no less than
the governor himself, has fled. There is
now real war in the air ana sufficient
bitterness of spirit to equip two full
fledged political battles.
The center of the speakership stage
is just now occupied by a sensational
denial of charges, said to have been
made against Dr. Babcock by Judge
Jamison, private secretary to the gov
ernor. The charges emanate from the
Johnson camp in any event, and on the
face of developments Babcock seems
to have the better of the argument.
The allegations denied by Dr. Bab
cdck in a circular letter containing af
fidavits lay within a letter which W. E.
Verity is said to have dictated, and
which, it is claimed, was addressed to
Representative Robert J. Wells, of
Breckenridge.
Letter Is Unsigned.
The letter, unsigned, is supposed to
convey the information that if Babcock
is elected the house will be so organ
ized that the governor's pet measures
will never see the light of day. Dr.
Babcock claims Judge Jamison hat*
shown this unsigned letter to members
of the legislature with intent to prove
Babcock is not loyal to Van Sant, and
that the members shown the letter have
been told it was dictated by Verity,
who is supposed to be Babcock's man-
ager.
Dr. Babcock denounces the letter as
a fake pure and simple. Verity makes
affidavit that he has never dictated a
letter of any kind to Wells, and Wells
affirms under oath that he has never
received any letter from Verity, and
that at the time the alleged letter is
supposed to have been dictated he was
not acquainted with Verity.
There is, of course, no method of
proving the authenticity of an unsigned
letter, and some of the Johnson men
are afraid a boomerang has been
thrown. Another feature of the case
which may or may not lend color to the
fake charge lies in the different stories
told about how the alleged letter came
into the possession of the Johnson
forces.
Some of Johnson leaders deny ab
solutely any knowledge of the letter.
Others say the copy in their possession
was made from the notes of the sten
ographer, who informed them of the
character of work she was doing for
Verity. Still others claim the sten
ographer was employed by both Bab
cock and Johnson, and through error
the Verity letter was delivered to the
Johnson headquarters instead of at its
rightful destination. The Babcock peo
ple are indignant, and claim they will
fight the alleged fake to a finish in the
courts if necessary.

The Man Who Knows.
"I am a man of peace," said a citizen
who dropped oft! a Woodward avenue car
at the city hall with a grim look on his
face, "but if that man don't let up en mo
I shall break loose and dd him damage."
"What man, and what has he done?"
was asked.
"I don't know him, but for the last two
weeks he has come down with me of a
morning, and on each occasion he has pot
alongside of me to quote statistics. This
morning when I was anxious to read my
paper, he crowded in and got my elbows
wedged fast and began:
" 'My dear sir, has it entered your
mind that we are traveling at the rate
of sixteen miles an hour and that if this
car should be suddenly stopped dead still
each one of us would be flung forward a
distance of thirty-eight feet nine and one
half inches?'
"I made no reply to him. but he was
not in the least put out. He simply got
his breath and continued:
" 'You do not seem alarmed, sir. and
perhaps there is no occasion, but I can
demonstrate to you that should this car,
traveling at this rate, strike a stone wall
"nineteen feet seven and one-half inches
thick, the force of the impact would bs
exactly equal to the force of a wave
eleven feet high and half a mile long
breaking on a sandy beach with a pitch
of three inches to the foot. 1
"I tried to get up to find another seat,"
said the victim, "but he laid his hand on
my shoulder and asked me to remember
that the tears shed in America each day
in the year amounted to exactly thirty
four barrels, twenty-two gallons, two
quarts and a pint. Before I could get
away he added that this amount of water
would run a ten-horse power engine sev
enteen hours and thirteen minutes, and
that the energy wasted in the weeping of
tears would plant nine and a half acres of
corn.
"Yes, this thing has got to stop," said
the sufferer as he set his jaw. "I shall
either take some other route to come and
go, or I will inform that statistician that
a blow delivered on the chin by a man
weighing 200 pounds is equal to tho fall
of a bag of sand from a height of seven
feet, and if he is taken off to the hos
pital it will only be what he deserves."—
