MINNEAPOLIS GLOBELETs.

Tie tallors' strike, as predicted, has ended

The work in putting up the new Plymouth

A fund has been started for the benefit OF
Nina Spear, and will probably net the little

The annual meeting of the Homeopathic

While engaged in blasting rocks in an East

badly cut upon the head by flying rock.
A Joint meeting of the Humane and the
Prevention Of Cruelty TO Animals societies

AFTERNOON.
Things are lively days at the popular
Boston restaurant, No. 500 Hennepin avenue.
Yesterday 1t was the only place in the city
which had fresh oysters.
While assisting in breaking jam in the
logs, up the river. the other day, Walter

Ed A Henderson, of the Journal, will leave

Yesterday afternoon the committee on pave
ments from the city council neld d meeting,
when twas decided to recommend to the
action of the council q modification of the
resolution ordering granite, SO that Wash
iDgton avenue shall have stone curb, five
foot stone cutters, leaving the remainder of
the street to be paved with cedar blocks.
The weekly meeting of the city council will
be held this evening. It will be a very busy
session as much important business must come
before it for final action, not the least among
which might be mentioned five electric light
ordinances, street paving and the like.
The matter of health officers duties and
requirements will also be given some consld-
Grafton.
The case of Charles Wright, charged with
obstructiug the street car track with large
building in course OF removal on Henpepin
avenue, came up for trial before jury in the
municipal court yesterday. Jurors had been
summoned, but some among the number
ignored the summons and failed to appear.
The GLOBE, in view of the fact that this has
frequently occurred, would modestly suggest
that the Judge issue bench warrants the next
time for the delinGuents, and fine them for
contempt of court. 1t would undoubtedly
have the desired effect.
Perhaps the the Journal really believed the
GLOBE has not taken into consideration the
various phases OF the question when 1t ex-
pressed the opinion that the frightful increase
in the mortality rate of this city was cause
for alarm, and hence the GLOBE calls atten-
ton TO the interview with DR.. Collins and DIR.
Cochburne, of the board of health, upon the
sanitary condition of the city. We think the
facts set up will dispell all doubt. The GLOBE
endorses the proposition of the board
of health to divide the city up into three dis
tricts and appoint district sanitary inspector
for each district, to be under the direct con-
troll OF the board of health, and also the ae-
ton OF the board instructing the health OIL
Ger to report to the board hereafter instead Of
to the city council, as heretofore.
