THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.

Special Session, Held Last Erening---Rcs-
olmtions adopted to Investigate Charges
That City Officials had been 4,carded City
Contracts.
Commissioner Brown offered set of
resolutions bearing upon letting of contracts,
presacing the same in an extended extempor-
aneous address in which he said that he had
been informed thatAld. Glenn was the owner
and proprietor of the Minneapolis Boiler
Works, and that. he had through that
company taken large and important contracts
with the water board contrary to the laws
under which the board is being governed
and that the commissioner considered it
the privilege and the duty of the board to
investigate the matter thoroughly, and he
believed the lawmakers should conform to
the provisions of the law and not be law
breakers.
Letting city contracts to Office holders is
indiscret and against pubic interests and
consequently should be strictly guarded
against.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, Information has been re-
ceived by the board that several contracts in
volving large amount of money has been
made by the city ON the one part and GER
tain city official on the other, and that under
and by virtue of said contracts, thousands of
dollars have been paid over to said city Of
fetal in direct violation of section 25 of the
city charter of the city of Mime
apolis which reads as follows:
''No alderman shall be party to or interested
in any job or contract with the city either of
the wards thereof, and any contract in which any
alderman shall be SO interested shall be null and
in haan
on any such contract, the amount SO paid may be
| recovered by joint and several action from any
parties to such contract and the alderman inter-
ested in the same.'
WHEREAS, Since said section was incor-
porated in said charter as a safeguard against
corruption this board would be recreant to
the trust reposed in it by the people, and
false to the obligations reposed upon it by
said charter, if such information was
winked at by the board and passed without
proper action. Therefore, for the purpose of
ascertaining the true or false ground of such
information, and learning what Off
cial, if any, has been forgetful
of his obligation and the sacred trust reposed
| in him.
| RESOLVED, That committee of three be ap-
| pointed by this board to make such inyesti-
| CATION as the case warrants, and report to this
board at the next regular meeting or SO soon
as practicable thereafter.
Mayor Ames called Commissioner Foote to
| the chair and stated that he considered it
particularly unfortunate that this matter
should be brought up at the present time, as
it might affect him politically, and while he
believed in the spirit of the resolution, he
asked that the Investigation contemplated be
laid upon the table until after election. The

The last of the gang of highwaymen and
burglars that preyed upon this community
and rendered it dangerous for honest citizens
to walk the streets after dark, was found
guilty last evening by jury of honorable
men who, after short elaboration, arrived
at verdict. The man is John Smith, alias
''Black Jack,' vicious looking scoundrel,
who from his appearance was capable OF
cutting Threats as well as of committing
burglaries. He was sentenced to
ten years at hard larbor in
the penitentiary, and his
pals" Blake and Sanders, were sentenced
for the same period. Mclaughlin, who gave
evidence against his companion in crime,
received only four years. Johnson, who
was convicted of the larceny of a watch, got
four years in the state prison. Mclaughlin,
while acting in the role of informer, testified
yesterday that the gang contemplated max
ing their escape from the guard when on
their way to prison.

A FATAL FALL.
La Horre, the Acrobat, Fatally In
jured at Pence Opera House.
His Neck Broken by Fall From the Ceiling
Into the Parquet.

A terrible and fatal accident happened at
Minneapolis last night Albert Laforre has
been performing upon the trapeze suspend
ed over the parquette and just in the rear of
the orchestra rail, during the week. He also
did the act of walking inverted, with his feet
caught in taps or clasps Sc
cured to bar. Last night he
was doing the latter act, and had just reached
the centre, when one of the loops broke loose
from the bar, and the hapless athlete was
precipitated headforemost into the parquette,
striking his head upon the iron arm to one of
the opera chairs, and breaking the chair.
There was not large audience, and hence
no panic ensued, though every one sprang
to his feet in excitement. The athlete was
picked up insensible and taken to the dres-
sing room at the rear of the stage and DR..
Ames summoned. After making an ex-
animation, which did not fully satisfy the
doctor respecting the extent of
the injuries sustained, Laforre was
taken to his room in the Kessler house,
where DIR. Ames made a comprehensive ex-
animation. He found
THE NECK BROKEN,
but not dislocated and the skull fractured
from the point of the hair down diagonally
across the left forehead to the base of the
brain.
Meanwhile thd poor victim of the accident
was breathing irregularly, but was uncon-
scious. DR.. Ames states that he cannot re-
cover and that he will probably not survive
the night At the present writing he is
breathing but family. Two members
of the company at the theater,
Messrs. johnson and Lyons were
seen by GLOBE representative.
They stated that they first met Lahore in
Chicago, where he was performing in the
Park theater. They came with them to st.
Paul and thence to Minneapolis. He was
highly esteemed by his associates, and was
clever athlete. He was a Frenchman, aged
twenty-three years, but respecting his family
nothing is known in Minneapolis. He fell
once in st. Louis and was SO seriously in
jured that he laid unconscious for a week.
Another member Of the company says he
met Laforre in Indianapolis last summer
where he had also been disabled by falling
from trapeze.
Last night he seemed to be possessed of q
premonition that he was going to fall and SO
remarked to Mr.. Lyon of the company, say
ing: eff L get through my act tonight
without falling, I shall be happy"
Some claim that his nerves were unstrung,
but careful investigation connected with
the sad affair, showed couclusively that it was
no fault of his, as one of the bands broke
loose from the cross bar, else he would not
have fallen. The fracture in the skull will
necessarily occasion death.
LATER-Lafarre died at a late hour last
evening, and his body was removed to
Warmers undertaking. establishment
