CHAMBER OF COMmBRCE.
Quite a Little Skirmish on the Brass Ket-
tie Question.

Cl0 question.
The chamber of commerce had for it's special
order yesterday the consideration of Mr..
Hodges report on the swindling braas kettle.
Mr.. Hodges said the matter was working we'll
that the legislature was petitioned and he
thought 1t would abolish the swindling kettle.
Mr. Hodgson, who had originally been a
member of Mr.. Hodges committee but subse-
quently resigned, arose to personal explana-
tlon and INDUCED in one of the most intern
Perate and indecent personal assaults upon Mr..
Hodges ever heard in the chamber. He was al
lowed to proceed until he had relieved his load
of bile.
Mr.. Hodges had the good sense to essay no
reply, further than to state at a later stage in
the proceedings that in fighting rings and
combinations of thieves and robbers, he was
used to personal assaults, and did not propose
to turn aside to repel them but to keep on in
pursuit of the object to be gained.
After good deal of loose debate. Mr.. Ban
nlng moved that the report submitted by por-
ton of the committee, last October, together
with Mr.. Hodges report, be referred to spe-
Ga! committee of five, who are to report reso-
lItlons based upon one or both reports, next
Monday.
Gen. Bishop thought it impracticable to
abolish the tester and do business, and gave his
reasons why. MIR. Banning commenced to re-
ply, whereupon he called to order by Mr.
Leo, who was presiding, he (Lce) stating that
he wished to have the question before the house
read. Mr.. Banning declined to be suppressed,
and the ''unpleasaEtness" terminated by a mo-
ton being adopted to allow Mr. Banning to
proceed. Mr.. Lee then vacated the chair, and
MIR. W. L. Wilson presided the remainder of the
meeting.
After some further debate the motion to re-
Ter to a special committee prevailed, and tho
chair appointed the following as the commit

An Incentive Confiacration

Everybody was turned back on their way to
supper yesterday evening by an alarm of fire
from box "a at the Merchants hotel, The
whole fire department responded to the call,
and the engines and hose carts soon gathered
around the location of the fire. It was found
to be IN the basement or cellar of De Coster
q Clarks furniture store, Nos. u and "a
jackson streets, hear Fifth street. Dense
volumes of smoke came up from the cellar, and
the indications were that there was big fire
somewhere about. A length of hose was run
out from Engine No. l, through the first floor.
and to the scene of the fire. The flames were
confined to the front part of the
cellar, and were having crack
ing lively time of it among
lot OF shavinss,; packing boxes and other
comoustlble material. A stream was poured
onto the fire. and it WAS speedily extinguished,
A reckoning followed, and the LOSS Is estimated
at $3.50 to lot of furniture packed, boxes and
lumber; fully insured.
The fire originated as follows: A few DAYS
ago Mr.. P. H. Kelly sent chair to
the store to be renovated, it being pretty
thoroughly infested with moth. To get rid of
the rust of the moth, Mr.. Clark sent small
boy down into the cellar to thoroughly saturate
the chair with benzine. Hc did as told to the
fullest extent, and turned on the gas to she'd a.
little light on his work. He got it in a sheet of
tame, which licked up the shayings, ignited
the coal bin, and got out the fire department.
and made half the business community do
with cold suppers. Fortunately the bow es-
capped injury.

"lhe Coming vi an"

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore delivered her lecture
on The Coming Man. to large and cultured
audience, at Unity church, last night. The
church was filed at an early hour, and q wait,
extending to an accumulation of minutes, was
forced upon the audience by the late arrival of
the lecturer. Pending her advent, Senator
Williams lndulged in O loud talk to a special
coterle, the benefits of which were regretfuliv
lost by the ma ority.
Mrs. Livermore came in, and assembled the
rostrum. She is al Imposing woman in appear
ance commanding in statue, and possesses a
tace indicative OF the highest order of intellect.
Her subject, 1.-The Coming Man. was pre-
sented eloquently and elegantly. She is
original and profound III thought; eloquent and
scholarly in language, and her elocution is i'm
pressive and graceful. She holds an exalted
opinion OF human nature, and encourages man
to perfect 1t. In fact, a listener to her elo-
quent periods and exalted opinion compels a
man to feel proud that lie is factor in the ac-
compllshment of the destiny of the human
race pictured by her; and forces woman to
teei the grandeur of her mission in being the
mother of THE Coming Man. All history
conspired to foretell tho exaltation Of mans
estate, the perfection of the human mind; but
the lecturer was not unmindful in uttering
precepts and presenting the plan by which this
millennium might be reached. She spoke
wholesome truths to the present man, gave
words OF encouragement and advice to the
present woman. She never scolded-ap-
parently she's too grand a woman for
that-but she did find fault, and
administered it in humorous satire. Through.
out, she commanded the intense and undivided
attention of her hearers, and though the lecture
consumed an hour and half in delivery, there
were evidences of regret, when she ceased to
speak. Not man or woman left the church.
who did not feel elevated at the duty mapped
out for them aud better for the instruction
given to fulfil mans duty to man.

floor is to have municipal courtroom, 5Ox5O
feet, with iury-room, and hall 68xsS feet.
Mr.. Radciffe's plans call for a two story build
ing 2lO feet long, the inner division being

THE BOOM.
The Contract for the Construction Awarde

The Contract for the Construction Awarded
The boom company have been busily en-
gagged since their examination Of the river,
which we mentioned few days since, in
psrfectlng plans, details and specifications
with the aid of Messrs. Rust, Kempt and
Garland of the Eau Claire Lumber Co., upon
which these gentlemen were willing to base
bid for the construction and operation of
the boom. Such changes and improve
ments in boom building have taken place in
the last fifteen OF twenty years since our St.
Paul men used to operate boom, that this
work has been difficult one, requiring the
aid of experts 10 accomplish 1t, and the work
has been delayed as a consequence
The gentlemen named made proposition
on Saturday to construct boom of the full
capacity projected.
The board of directors, consisting of
Messrs. Prince, Cochran, James Smith, Jr.,
j. J.. Wilson, Of Minneapolis, and j. w.
McClung, took the matter under advise
ment, and asked until yesterday to examine
the figures in detail and compare them with
prices of lumber, piles, etc., to see whether
they were reasonable. The result was that
portion of their proposition was accepted,
and contract will be drawn this morning
for the construction of boom from point
above the railroad bridge, extending 3,1OO
feet, to Pike Island. The contract will
provide for constructing the boom
with the full capacity Of 1O0,0oO,0OO feet if
the stock subscriptions are increased so as
to justify it i'll the next two weeks. The ice
IS so precarious, and the snow so uncertain,
that whatever is done ought to be done with
IN the next thirty days. These gentlemen
have the capital and experience necessary to
put the entire work through in thirty days,
if the money is forthcoming to pay for it.
They are also prepared to pnt in their patent
sheers, and operate the boom for so much per
thousand feet, leaving such {. margin as will
pay 25 to so per cent. on the stock.
Now, if the log men and the
st. Paul men want to encourage
manufacturing, feel enough interest in this
great improvement TO take stock they can
be accommodated by calling on Col. Prince,
corner of Third and Robert street, or writ
ing to him. Prompt work is now required
to ensure this work completed and running
at the full capacity, and it is hoped gentle
men who wish to build up the city and i'm
prove their property will not wait to be call
ed on. More earnest work and more liberal
work must be done in the next two weeks
than has yet been done, and then, and only
then, will the boom be booming.
