The city council and board of public works
met in adjourned and joint session at 7:30
o'clock last night, the object being to elect q
city engineer.
Long before the appointed hour for the
meeting the council chamber was filed with
the friends of the candidates, Messrs. Rundlett
and somers, whose names were before the
meeting at the time of the adjournment on
M onday afternoon.
The meeting was called TO order by Vice
President Grace, there being eight members,
including Gen. Becker, of the board of public
works, in attendance Aid Allen took the
floor and explained that the absentees would
be present in few minutes.
Immediately afterwards the absentees put in
an appearance and a second roll call showed
that all the members were in attendance, in
Guiding Messrs. Becker, harrington and Koch,
of the board of public works.
TIE clerk was then directed to call the roll on
the ballot for city engineer The vote resulted
as follows:
Rundlett-Ald. Allen, Dowlan, O'Connor,
Cornish, Griggs, Brennan and the Chair.
Somers-Ald. Otis, Ringwald, Mlnea,
Messrs. Harrington and Koch.
Gen. Becker cast his vote for Mr.. Sewall.
Ten votes beng necessary to an election,
there was no choice.
Aid. Dowlan moved to adjourn until this
evening.
AID. Griggs was opposed to an adjournment;
he moved to take at least one more ballot.
Aid. Ringwald thought as there was no i'm
mediate prospect of an agreement, 1t was
about time to look around for the dark horse.
In the event of further disagreement he
would respectfully propose the name Of Mr..
Henry Fuller, superintendent of streets, for
position of engineer. he presented tho name
In neat eulogy.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll on the
second ballot. When the name off Aid. Otis
was called that gentleman rose to explain be-
fore casting his vote. He said it was very
apparent that If both candidates adhered to
their position neither could be elected, and the
wishes of the council would be defeated. He
thought one of them should mako the conces-
sion In point of merit they were matched,
and either was desirable. If either was elected
it was necessary to the interest Of the city
that he secure the cordial cooperation of the
other He concluded by voting for Mr. Rund-
lett.
The ballot was then continued, and resulted
in the election of Mr. Rundlett. Those voting
the other way were Aid. Ringwald for Mr..
Fuller, and Aid Minea for Mr.. Somers. These
gentlemen withdrew their votes, and the elec-
ton of Mr.. Rundlett was made unanimous.

DULUTH CITY BONDS.

a Test Suit on Behalf of Holders of Bonds
of the Late City Of Duluth, to Collect In
terest Overdue, from the Village of
Duluth and It's Suburbs Formerly In
cluded in the City-An Important Trial,
Which May Go to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
On Yesterday avoluminous bill was filed In
the circuit court of the United States, by
Williams & Davidson, solicitors for Edward
Brewis of London, England, against the city OF
Duluth and the village of Duluth, to recover
interest past due and unpaid on certain bonds
issued by the old city of Duluth in 1878 or
1874 The bill at great length sets up the
charter of Duluth, the territory embraced in
the city the subsequent legislation authorizing
the issuance of bonds, the various series
of bonds Issued from year
to year for various purposes.
Then it sets forth the subsequent legislation
that was procured when Duluth, overwhelmed
with her bonded indebtedness, sought to make
a compromise with her creditors at twenty.
five cents on the dollar. The village of Du-
luth was incorporated, carving out the most
valuable territory formerly embraced in the
city of Duluth, and requiring the village first
to pay or settle certain proportion OF the
bonded Indebtedness of the city, and providing
u.
ditional portions of the bonded debt, it might
take in additional territory formerly embraced
in the old city of Duluth. One of the provis-
ions of the statute relative to the old city
of Duluth was that service could only
be made upon the mayor, and to avoid the
possibility of service no mayor has been elect
ed and the government of the city of Duluth
has for many years been abandoned Inc
entire Indebtedness of the city OF Duluth was
about $3.50, 900, of which some S25O,0OO or
$500, 900 has been compromised and settled at
twenty five cents on the dollar, and new bonds
have been issued by the village OF Duluth
upon which the interests being paid promptly:
There are about 100000 of outstanding old
bonds on which no interest has been paid
since 1875.
The bonds themselves are not yet due and
this suit is brought upon dishonored interest
coupons and is for little over 900. 1t is
regarded by all the holders of the city OF Du-
luth bonds Of test case and the amount is
sufficient to permit of its going on appeal to
the supreme court of the United States. Should
this suit succeed others will be Instituted and
Duluth will not have the opportunity OF de-.
cIining to submit its bonded Indebtedness to a
tribunal, as the State of Minnesota is about to
do. The coupons sued upon are
all set out as exhibits, the bill and the exhibits
together making voluminous document Of
some 200 folios. The late hour at which the
bill was filed in the clerks office prevents our
giving fuller synopsis of its allegations
The United States marshal will serve the
papers upon the proper authorities to-day; =;
and then the music will begin. The case will
probably reach an issue ready for trial at the
regular June term of the United States court,
when it is expected that full bench will be
present, presided over by Associate Justice
Samuel F. Miller.

A PITIFUL DEATH.

Ruined by Minneapolis seduoer Young
Mother Yields mp Her Life as Sacrifice
to Her Shame.
1t has been said that innocence is as august
In rags as in the feur-de-lis. There are
reasons for believing that the victim to the
tragedy which this narrative chronicles was
the creature Of a great wrong. In this city
last Sunday, at low1y honse on Tenth street,
when the church bells rang out on the air,
sweet and redolent with the promise
of, Of in spri1}gE e. oxss tnsss Of psTsnsa ~onsnhood
Yaung, and endowed to an unusual degree
with the fatal charm of beauty, she fell a
victim to the wiles of the designing destroyer.
Over the bedside of the dying girl, summoned
at the last moment, were her hsart-broken
father and only brother. She had left home
q few weeks since under the pretense of visit
ing friends in the mantling flush Of health and
beauty.
Deity concealed from her friends, her heart
was burdened with the crushing weight of q
fearful secret. This secret was shared by one
other, the author of her ruin. She was about
to become mother. It is needless to relate
the story of her downfall. The tale is as old
as Eden. he was rich, young and handsome,
and she loved not wisely but too well.
Briefly the circumstances Of the sad and
pitiful affair are as follows: About two weeks
ago there came to this city from Minneapolis
young lady who sought the seclusion Of q
private boarding house on Tenth street. She
passed under an assumed name and stated that
her husband was bushes man in the south
ern part Of the State.
During her brief sojourn at the house the
pseudo husband, who is member of q re.
spectacle and well.to-do family OF Minneapo-
lis, paid her several visits. A few days after
her arrival she was taken sick and it became
apparent that she was about to become q
mother.
A well known physician of this city was
called in, and be took charge of the case.
The beginning Of last week the child was
born, and it lived but three or four days. The
condition of the mother grew worse, and last
Saturday consultation of physicians was
held, when it was decided that the case was
hopeless.
A telegram was at once forwarded to the
young lady's father, who in company with
his son arrived in st. Paul Saturday evening.
Sunday morning the young woman died.
Luckily for him, the seducer failed to make
his appearance.
Last Monday the remains of the unfortunate
giIl weretaken home and out of family con-
affair as quiet as possible. It Is probable that
downfall will never get his just dues. The
GLOBE regrets Its inability to procure his
name. It is, after all, the old story Of
woman's weakness and mans perfdy. In
olden times criminals of this class were dis.
tinguished by the toga worn in public. What
modern society wants Is smack Of ancient

ell.
After being blockaded in the snow-drifts Of Wis
eonsin for three days, Thomas W. Keene and his
company arrived In st. Paul yesterday morning. and
gave two erformances-"Ths Merchant Of Venice
In the afternoon and Richard III" in the evening,
the former to q large audience and the latter to an
ovsrfowlng house. The reputation Mr.. Kesne has
acquired in other cities as an exponent of legitimate
tragedy had awakened great curiosity among our
theater goers and consequently the audiences were
both larger aud more critical than those usually
seen at first performances.
The Shylock Of Mr. Keene differs in some re-
spects from that to which the public have been treat
ed in times past His reading is novel In many
ages, and lives to the audience some new concep-
tion of the character it light have been. These
innovations are not unpleasant though they are apt
to strike the veteran student OF the play as sprlDng
from an effort ct orjgnality-or perhaps reluc-
tance to initiate others thah as result of q new
light thrown upon the intent OF the dramatist Aside
from slight unevenness in the reading OF few OF
the passages the performance was thoroughly artis-
TIC though latitude will have TO be given to diferen
ces Of opinion as the wisdom of the innovations.
