CoNrRAcToRs AND BUILDERS.
A Meeting to Protest Against the Ne
Market Hall Contract.

A Meeting to Protest Against the New
Market Hall Contract.
meeting of prominent contractors and
builders was held at the old court house last
evening for the purpose of protesting against
the action of the council respecting the letting
of bids for the new market house building.
The meeting was called to order at o'clock,
MIR. Charles Lenard being called to the chair.
About thirty prominent builders were in at
tendance.
Short and pointed addresses were made by
Messrs. Breen, Roach and Others objections
being made to the advertisement calling for
bids, on the grounds that the specifications al
lowed too much discretionary power with the
constructing architect. The necessity was also
urged of having new bids, for the reason that
the present specifications were vague and in
complete, in addition to which It was stated
that great deal of the work was unprovided
for in the present specifications.
The position was taken by one or two speak
ers that according to the present plans it would
be impossible to complete the building in the
time specified, and that the partial system of
letting the work offered big temptation for
the practice of dishonesty among the contract
Ors.
A resolution was read and unanimously
adopted, calling upon the council to change
the specifications in such a manner as to cover
the work at present unprovided for, and re-
questing that the work be let in parts. After
further conversation the meeting adjourned.

filler fame," reached st. Paul last evening,
on his return from visit to Milwaukee, Chi

his absence Mr.. Stacy submitted the filler
to the most exacting tests possible before all
the boards of trade of the cities visited, the
result in every instance being to sustain the
perfect reliability of the device. So we'll
pleased were the members that large orders,
in addition to enthusiastic endorsemements,
were given Mr.. Stacy st every point visited
Mr.. Stacy also made it his business to e1-
hibit the workings of the filler to producers,
who, as the dealers, joined in declaring it
just the machine they had been looking for
for years. During his absence, Mr.. Stacy
perfected arrangements with the Fairbanks
Scale company for the manufacture of the
filler, and the first lot made for the Mime
sofa market, will be in St. Paul early the

AMENDMEET or TIE OYSTER LAWS.
An Annapolis correspondent Of the
Baltimore american, writing on the
subject 6fthe late arrests by Capt. Clark,
of the Oyster Police Boat, Annie Mef-
ryman, Tor violations ofthe oyster laws,
speaking oil .hc crews Of the boats cap
tured, says:
The condition Of these crews is mast
deplorable, and shows at once the rig
oroGs and unequal character OF our oys-
Ter laws. Unless the poor men have
friends 20 bal! them out Of jail, as IS un-
likely, they willspend a long and dreary
winter in prison, a. our court Will not
1T until April 20 hear criminal cases.--
OF course, they are violators oil the law;
but il they had disobcyed the captain $
orders when commanded 10 dredge at
night, a belaying-pin on the offenders
head would very likely have beer the
answer TO the lawful objection. In the
meantime, the captain is generally hailed
out by thee ners ofthe vessel or friends,
gets another crew, works the winter
through, is fined $50 IN The spring, pays
il or goes 10 jail for sixty days, whilst
the crews. after FIVE months imprison-
ment, will be mcrcifuIly discharged
from custody by the court probably
without formaity of trial The RENE
DIV for this anomalous state of affairs is
suggested By thoughtful ones-make
the vessel Liable for violations of the
law, and the owners will then secure
reliable and honest captains. AS it now
is, the captains who viii dredge on the
bars reserved for the tongmen have
great advantage over the man who
won't steal, both IN getting q boat to
command and load OF oysters 10 sell. y
We much favor the remedy sugges-
ted by the Americana pondent
Of making the vessel liable for viola
tons Of oar oyster laws, but we favor
il as an additional guard against such
violations, not as a substitute for exist
ing laws on the SUBJECT. Let the
Captains and crews be punished as they
are now punished, and in addition to
this, lei the owner Of the vessel caught
dredging in violation of Law be made IL
able in a penalty sufficiently large, il
rot to swamp the vessel, at least TO
make it to the interes, Of The owner to
be careful M future as TO whom and
for what he hires his property.
