THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
How TO Make It More Effective important
Meetings of Two Committees Better
Buildiugs, More Firemen. More Hose and
Larger Ladders Needed.

Buildlugs, More Firemen. More Hose and
Larger Ladders Needed.
The mercantile committee of the chamber of
commerce, representatives of the board of un-
derwriters, a number of builders, the chief of
the fire department, and the city attorney, met
at the chamber of commerce room yesterday to
consider measures for giving greater protection
against fire. How to increase the efficiency of
the fire department, and the necessity of an
ordinance regulating the construction of build
ings, especially warehouses or large stores,
were the principal subjects of discussion.
In the course of the discussion Chief
Strong stated, concerning the capacity
of the five engines, that the three first class en-
gines are equal in power and capacity to the
first calss engines of other cities and are ex-
ceeded only by exceptional engines, like the
Long John, of Chicago, built for special pur-
poses. The deficiency of the st. Paul depart
ment, he said, is in the lack Of suitable APP
paratus for taking hose up into or upon high
buildings. Others present expressed their
agreement in opinion with Chief Strong and,
regarding the late fire, the unanimous opinion
appeared to be that nothing was lost through
fault of the firemen, and that they deserve
credit for saving the buildings opposite those
burned. In the discussion of the subject of
regulating the construction of buildings so as
to prevent the erection of fire traps, it was
stated that several years ago building ordi.
nance for that purpose was drawn and submit
ted to the council, but the council did not act
upon it.
The result of the meeting was as follows
committee of three was appointed to draft a
building ordinance, and to report the same to
the full committee. Another committee of
three was appointed to consult with the coun-
Gil committee on the fire department and the
chief of the department, and to report to the
full COMMITTEES. Chief Strong was request
ed to prepare and submit to the COM
mittee report on the origin of the late fire,
embodying such facts or evidence as he can
ascertain regarding it. The com mittee then
adjourned to meet again Tuesday next The
report to the chamber of commerce will prob
ably be made at the chambers meeting Oct.
9th, but the committee propose to take time
enough to prepare the report carefully and
make it complete.

Following is the findings of the court:


The Winona & 81. Peter railroad company, re-
spondent, vs.. the st. Paul d Sioux City rail.
road company and Charles 81. Bigelow, ap-
pellants.
Syllabus-Orders and rulings of the court be-
low, not prejudicial to the merits of the case,
disregarded.
The second section Of the act Of Congress of
March 8, 1858, entitled IAN act extending the
time for the completion of certain railroads In
the States of Minnesota and Iowa, and for 9th
er purposes" relates only to lands granted by
that act.
Both railroad companies claim under the
grant by the act of Congress of March 3, 1857,
entitled IAN act making grant of land to the
territory of Minnesota in alternate sections to
aid in the construction of certain
railroads in said territory, and granting public
lands in alternate sections to the State of Ala
railroad in said State" and the defendant
company claim part of the lands under Con-
gressional grant of 1864.
The line of defendant was located through
the territory where the lands in controversy lie,
in 1859, the line of plaintiff in 1868. No valid
section of lands for indemnity purposes was
made until 1872, when defendant first selected
the land in controversy for such purposes and
they were certified by the secretary of the
interior to the State for the defendants line.
Held, that the lands within the six miles
limit of plaintiff, and between the six miles
and the fifteen miles limits Of defendant be-
long to plaintiff.
The lands between the plaintiffs six miles
and fifteen miles limits and between defend
ants fifteen miles and twenty miles limits be-
long to plaintiff.
The lands lying between the six miles and
fifteen miles limits of each company belong to
both companies in common.

Land Grant SUITS.

''The Winona & st. Peter Railroad company,
respondent, vs.. the st. Paul i Sioux City
Railroad company, and Charles q. Bigelow,
appellants is the title of case before the
courts for several years, and most probably
will be for some time to come.
Briefly stated, the history of the litigation is
as follows: Both are land grant ROADS. Their
two lines crossing each other at or near Man
kato, the rights of the two companies to GER
tain lands within the several limits specified by
the act of Congress, came in conflict.
To settle the question and secure title to the
land, the first named company commenced
suit against the latter in the district court for
Blue Earth county. Judge Dickinson. From the
decision of that court the Sioux City appealed
to the supreme court. The appeal was argued
and submitted at the April term of the court,
1879. In due time the supreme court made
an order sending the case back to the court
below, upon certain points. With this order
both the companies were dissatisfied, and they
applied to the court to modify its order. This
the court declined to do. but upon certain
stipulations being entered into, vacated its
order demanding the case, and consented to
hear argument which was heard at the April
term, 1880, and the case taken under advise
ment. The court yesterday fled its decision
affirming the Judgment of the court below.
The case will now undoubtedly. be carried still
higher, especially as it is understood neither
company is satisfied with the decision al it now
stands.

Whitefeld had an impetuous heroic
nature which scorned all obstacles and
laughed at prosecutions. 1t was not
simply vanity or the love o. power that
actuated him. He gave himself cheer
fully to all privations and tolls. He was
sincere IN his religious convictions. if he
was an enthusiast. With no companion
but his Bible, and no object but the sal
walton of sinners from a dreadful fate
which he believed impending over them,
he plunged into the worst of dangers,
Thirteen times he crossed the Atlantic
almost as many times he penetrated the
great American forests to carry the bread
of life to the Aborigines; twice he
preached through Ireland; fourteen times
through Scotland; once through Holland;
once through the Bermudas, and pilgrim
ages innumerable he made into almost
every county in England. Continuously
for years he preached at the rate of forty
to sixty hours per week, and spending

prayer singing, etc. In the thirty-four
years of his ministry he preached up

average of more than six hundred a wear
Excepting John Wesley, it is probable
that no other man ever preached SO many
sermons as Whitefeld.
His popularity was unsurpassed byany

to be his wife, he thought it his duty to
say such words as these:

THE APocRYPHA OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
With Historical Introductions, Revised
Translation and Notes Critical and Explana-
tory. By Edwin Cone Bissell, D. d. New
York Charles Scribner's Sons 1880. Being
Volume XIV of the Old Testament Common
tary by DIR. LANCE, Translated and Edited by
DR.. Schaf and other American scholars.
The volume is uniform with the others Of
Lange's series
1t is difficult now to get copy of the "Apoc-
rypha" which used to be bound up with Old
and New Testaments. And yet it is subject Of
indispensable study to the theologian and the
Biblical sch olar 1t stands like rude bridge
thrown over the gap between the close of the
Old Testament canon and the creation of that
of the New. 1t is picture of Jewish life and
Jewish thought for the two or three centuries
prior to the Christian era, besides containing
much historical matter of great value. In order
to understand well the language of our Lord as
reported in the gospels, and the statements Of
the inspired historians of his lfe it is necessary
to throw ones self into the period when He ap-
peared, and to obtain clear conception of the
habits of thought and the prevailing opinions
of the Jews of that day. The apocryphal books
furnish Just such vestibule to the history of
the Evangelists.
No critical commentary on these books has
appeared in the English language since that Of
Arnold, published in 1744, and therefore the
publication of the present elaborate work under
the auspices of the names of LANCE and Schaff
is a most welcome addition to our Biblical liter
atare. The editor, DIR. Bissell, is we'll known
as the author of The Historic Origin of the
Bible" and he has for several years, we are
told, devoted special attention to the Apocry-
pha, in Germany and in this country. Some go
pages are devoted to General Introduction"
to the whole work, and there are several APP
pendices on the Second Book of Esdras, the
Book of Enoch, the Sibylline OracIes, and other
of the Old Testament Pseudopigrapha
If now the Messrs. Scribner would give an
other volume in English, made up of such pseu-
typographical writings as the Book of Enoch,
the Assumption of Moses, the Tes; aments of the
Twelve Patriarchs, the Book of Jubilees, ETC.,
with selections from the New Testament apocry-
phal literature the public would be placed I'M
der renewed obligations to this enterprising
house.

other continental powers cultivate these

pigeons brought the result of the strug-
gle between the contending hosts on the

sian victory, and was thereby enabled to
take tax advantage of the coming change in
the money market.

the ne greatest perfection in Europe. In

test took place in Belgium. A flock of

Birthday of the Inouisition.

On July I, small number of Spanish
zealots celebrated, with considerable So
lemnity, the four hundredth anniversary
OF the establishment of the Inquigition.
On that day in 1910 the Spanish Cortes,
then assembled at Toledo, adopted a pro-
position submitted to it by Cardinal Pc
dro Gonzales de Mendoza with the ap-
probation Of King Ferdinand and Isabel
la, the Catholic, to constitute tribunal
Of faith which should be empowered to
punish heretics, and passed law to that
effect by majority Of their Members
Their majesties forthwith appointed two
chief inquisitors, who were, however. SUI
Rerseded shortly afterward. Thomas de
Iorquemada, who was appointed grand
lnquisitor in theig stead is said to have
burned eight thousand eight hundred
heretics in different parts of Spain. His
successors did their best to emulate his
feryent activity, the gross result OF their
endeavors being that, down to the year
1903, when the Office was finally abolish
ed In the Iberian peninsula, thirty-one
thousand nine hundred and twelve men
and women had been burnt alive bv the.
officers Of the Spanish Inquisition.
