IN HIS ELENENT.

Ike Webb Begins Score of Suits in New
Canada Against st. Paul Parties.
If prize were offered for the most litigious
individual in the State Of Minnesota, Isaac W.
Webb would walk into court and take the cup
full distance ahead of the most disputatious
competitor. He has figured on all sides Of the
same case, almost at the same time, and his
name as accuser, accused, plaintiff and defend
ant in suits and actions is blotted
all over Ramsey county records.
Evidently he likes the furry and excitement of
such contention, it must suit him, for he's
always at or about suit He has some twenty
odd on hand to-day. Yesterday summons
were served on about that many, suits having
been brought by Webb against twenty or more
of the best young men of the city for livery
bills of long standing. Each is for q
very small amount, and each alleged
debtor claims to have paid the score long
long ago. The queer part of the transaction il
that all these suits are brought before Justic,
E. A. Boyd, Of New Canada-there are tive
justices and the municipal judge in this city
| The alleged debtors claim that New Canada ha
been selected in hopes that the expense o
getting there will make all the alleged debtor
pay up to avoid the trouble of appearing
in court. If this be Webb's scheme, he'll b.
disappointed, for all the parties sued inten,
wrestling with this legal athlete (Webb) in th
New Canada court.

THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.
They Are Still Looking for a Ticket While

They Are Still Looking for a Ticket While
All But Handful are Already Suited
With the Democratic Ticket.
AS announced, the Republican city committee
got together, yesterday morning They deliber-
ated for an hour and adjourned. Several parties
were suggested as suitable persons for the par
ty's candidate for mayor. But in each instance
it was thought best to consult him to
see if he'd accept. So an adjournment
was taken until 3 o'clock P. NJ.
During the Intervening hours some of the
stalwarts circulated around to see if ANYBODY
of the party would sacrifice himself Most
any body, Just so it was somebody, was deemed
a suitable candidate in the emergency; SO War
rem Fl. Mead was even mentioned.
General Andrews was talked of
call for that purpose, but with no good re-
suit.
Again ex-senator Ramsey was begged to ac-
cept. He wouldn't.
There was some talk of transferring Gen.
Sanborn up notch on the ticket; make him
candidate for mayor, but then the difficulty
arose as to who would run for his office, which
was even further made source of trouble,
by the fact that Gen. Sanborn
would run for that one office, provided they
got somebody to run for mayor.
With this somtre condition of affairs to con-
template, the stalwarts reassembled at o'clock
p. NJ. in Mr.. r. Barden's office. There came tc
this solemn and mournful meeting Messrs
G. W. Moore, H. NJ. Smythe, G. N
Bell, G. P. Rarnard, W. Il Mead anc
few other faithful ones. They talked, at any
rate they were one hour in Mr.. Barden's of
fee. At the expiration of that one dolefu
hour Messrs. Barden, Smythe and another cam,
out The three went up in the direction of tn.
German-American bank. They came back ant
made known the result of their mission to tn
anxious coterie awaiting their return. Through
the front window the meetin,
was seen to gesticulate. After the gesticula
tion the crowd came down stairs, out into tn
sunlight. and officially stated that nothing hat
been accompiished-"bu we adjourned unit

THE SHORT LINE.
Conferences Yesterday-SewalpsR Ridiculous
Plan for an Elevated Railway.

Plan for an Elevated Railway.
The publication of City Engineer Sewalrs
letter in yesterdays GLOBE was the first inti-
nation the public had of the short line hitch
in crossing Fort street. sewall's scheme for
an elevated railroad was regarded as ridiculous
or worse. He proposes to compel the railroad
company to build mile Of trestle work, rang
ing from fifteen to thirty-fve feet in height,
arguing that this will make an excellent cross
ing, as teams can pass under 1T. IN New aorh
thew enioy the dangers and the luxurles OF an
elevated railroad because they cannot
afford tho valuable space on the ground, put
there is still u sufficient amount OF country
living out DOORS between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, to lay a railroad upon. 80 ial as rs
frightening teams is concerned, nothing IS
worse than driving under trains OF cars, and
SO far as public travel is concerned, no one
would want to ride thirty-tive foot trestle.
Consequently Mr.. Sewells sword is two edged.
He would destroy both the railroad and the
highway.
Mayor Dawson, Engineer Sewall, City Attor-
ney Murray, John G. Gault, assistant general
manager of the Milwaukee u St. Paul road, and
G. H, Prior, superintendent of the same, met
yesterday morning to consider the question OF
the Fort street crossing. The railroad men
have surveyed their line, which brings them
two feet below the grade on the street and they
wish to cross on that grade. They claim that
the plan proposed by Sewan would be an i'm
possibility, besides being enormously expensive
It would compel them to 60 within fifteen feet
Of the city hospital and run right through a
brewery, besides being forever unsafe for
twenty minute trains, which they propose to
run between the cities. In the afternoon the
parties named drove out to look the ground
over in person. and will meet again to-day to
consider the matter further.
It does not seem necessary to throw any OBJ
stacle in the way of this crossing proposed by
the company. They propose to make a station
at that point and halt all but
through passenger and freight trains.
They are also willing to station hag
man there to warn people of approaching trains.
They argue that the crossing is not on anything
like such thoroughfare as Euclid avenue at
Cleveland Ohio which is crossed by the Cleve-
land & Pittsburgh track on grade, without any
one thinking of objectirg. 1t is the same with
the Grand Trunk crossing of Woodward avenue,
Detroit, Mich. The railroad men regard it
strange that St. Paul should be sensitive,
while larger cities welcome the railroads.
Matters we're in fair way of being adjusted
last night, and we hope in the next issue of the
GLOBE to announce that all is satisfactory, anC
that the work has been resumed.

The Sixth Ward Contest.

Matters are waxing warm in the Sixth
ward. A gang of ruf6ans led by a couple of
bummers from the Pioneer Press are en-
devoring to disturb the peace and threaten
ing to break up the ballot-box on election
day if they cannot carry their ticket. Gen.
Terry's attention is also called to the fact
that this disreputable gang have one of the
department. employees as a striker, who
leaves his government duties to electioneer
in this ward. These fellows are endeavor-
ing to defeat Alderman Mccarthy,
and as they know they cannot
hope to elect any of their own gang they
have taken up a Democrat. This diversion
should not secure single Democratic vote,
and is not likely to. Knowing this they
hope by riotous conduct to break up the
election. One of the bummers, named Rich
ard Bradley, was hoisted out of the registry
room last night, as peace measure. The
people Of that ward propose to have Free
fair election, and these bummers will gel
into serious difficulty if they don't behave
themselves.

THE REGISTRY.

The Number of Names on the Poll Lists
in the Several Precincts at the Close of
Registration Last Night.
The registration of voters, continued from
last Tuesday, engaged the judges of election
at all the precincts yesterday. The poll-lists
have been subjected to very few changes
since last fall.
The new voters registered, yesterday, show
up in respectable numbers, but not nearly in
as great numbers had there been any excite
ment or anticipation of contest at the ap-
preaching election. However, even with the
drawback, the registration, as an index,
shows very creditable increase in the city s
population. The full registration is given

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Carrying of Stable Fixtures While in the
Hands of n Receiver.

Hands of q Receiver.
In the matter of the application of Robert
A. Smith, receiver, appointed by the court in
the case of F. F. Flint against Isaac w.
Webb, calling upon E. R. Hollingshead,
William Nichols and others to show cause
why they should not be punished for con-
tempt of court, for removing certain fixtures
from Webb's barn last Sunday, came up be-
morning. Mr.. John D. O'Brien appeared
for the receiver, Mr.. I. V. D. Heard repre-
senting the interests of Mr.. Hollingshead
and others. MIR. Heard presented an affidavit
stating that the property taken had been
mortgaged to the late Morris Lamprey prior
to the appointment of receiver, and
that Mr.. Lamprey had purchased the mort
gage and sold the property to A. E. Kimber-
ley. The affidavit also sets forth that Mr..
Hollingshead was acting as the agent of
Kimberley, and that the property had been
taken as belonging to his client, in addition
to which permission had been given to enter
the barn for the purpose of removing Kim
berley's property, by Mr.. O'Brien, the attor-
ney of the receiver.
In reply Mr.. O'Brien stated that the
mortgage, under which Mr.. Kimberley
claimed the act, did not describe the stable
fixtures. He further argued that for the
purposes of the case it did not matter
whether Mr.. Kimberley was the owner of the
property or not, as it was in the possession
of the receiver, an officer Of the court, and
| that all claims to the property would have to
be determined by the court.
The property was in the possession of the
court, and parties claiming it, whether right
fully or not, had no right to carry it away, as
such an act was contempt of court, and that
the parties guilty of such an overt action
could not escape punishment by simply
claiming title to the property.
In conclusion, Mr.. O'Brien stated that the
defendants had received full notice of the
property being in the possession of re-
ceiver, and that they had been reminded Of
the fact while in the act of taking it away
Judge Wilkin said that even if the fixtures
were considered as personal property of Kim
berly, it was questionable whether they
could be removed from the receivers pos
session except by process of suit and will
the permission of the court. Mr.. CBrie1
asked leave to submit counter affidavit
showing that the receiver was in possession
of the property, and that the defendant
were forbidden to take it. The request wa
granted and the hearing set for 10 o'cloc]
to morrow morning.
