The matter of awarding the contract for
the putting down of Kerr pavement on
Robert street was considered Mr.. Cross.
the president of the Twin City Improve
ment company. which claims the exclusive
right to lay the Kerr pavement in ST. Paul
at the present time, was present and adj
dressed the board. He explained the diff
ferent hands the royalty of using the Kerr
pavement had passed and claimed it
was the only one legally authorized to use
it now. The company, he stated, was
anxious to put down this piece of paving in
order that it might establish a high stand
ard of work. 1t would then let the
royalty OF using it to responsible persons
willing to do the work according to the
standard it had established.
As there was some technicality about the
present order for the improvement. it was
decided to reject all bids, annul all proceed
ings which had been taken, and ask for a
new order Of the council for the work A
special meeting of the council will be held
tonight to adopt the new order so that the
work can be let as soon as possible. The

a FIREMAN DISCHARGED.-
Statements,:the Commit
sioners Dismiss Fireman Ryan.

The board of fire commissioners met
last evening in regular session, President
Delano in the chair. \ request was re-
ceived from the managers of the state fair
that part of the fire department be assigned
to duty on the fair grounds during fair
week. The matter was placed in the hands
of the chief with power TO act. The TeSO-
luton of the council creating Superintend-
ent Of the construction of the new fire en-
glDe houses was accepted; also, that allow
ing the widow of Y. j. Connolly S97.23.
The matter of q cistem for the Seventh
street chemical, was referred TO COmmis-
sioner Watson.
The question of adopting the report of
Chief Black, which recommended the dis
missal of Ryan, driver OF chemical ?, was
taken up, Commissioner Watson moving
that the matter be referred to a special
meeting for a thorough examination. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Prem
dergast. Mr.. Parker moved as an amend
ment, seconded by President Delano that
the chiefs report be accepted. The
amendment was lost on a vote of two
against two; also the original motion.
Mr.. Watson then stated that in most
cases he wanted 10
CONCUR WITH THE CHIEF
but in the present case he believed that
there was wrong on both sides, and he
wanted an investigation.
Chief Black, in receiving permission TO
be heard, stated his side at length. He said
Ryan was the first man in the department
who gave him trouble-the first to disObey
his orders. He had always had a lot TO
contend with. There was an organization
of men, discharged for drunkenness and
being dead-beatS, who met every two
weeks in Market hall and coneOcted
schemes against him. On Seventh street,
at a lire, Ryan drove over hose,
and when he (Black) spoke TO
him, Ryan had been disreSpectful.
Besides he had made remarks that if
he Black took his badge away he would
shoot him. He said Ryan couldn't do that;
he was not big enough. 1t didn't stand in
his boots to do il. The former record Of
this man was bad, and his own captain
would say the same.
Mr.. Ryan was also present and received
permission to be heard. He denied the
Seventh street episode. and said the chief
told him 10 shut up and give him no more
of his slack. When the chief first came
on he was standing in front OF the engine
smoking one morning. He had hur-
ried through his breakfast and was

The Mayors Veto.

\ resolution introduced by Aid. Van
Slyke and adopted at the last meeting of
the common council received Mayor Rice's
veto yesterday. The resolution was that
which instructed the city comptroller to
place the S12, ,34S.34, premium from the
sale of bridge bonds, into the general fund.
The mayors reason for Obiecting to this
was that a sum of money specifically Or
dered should be used for specific purpose.
There were certain funds from which money
could be drawn for certain purposes, but
there was no arrangement to meet any de-
felt which might accrue over and above the
$500. 900 allowed for the construction of
the bridge. If the amount fell short, the
S12, 343.3 81 could be legally used TO supply
the shortage, and hence should not be
placed in any fund where it could not aft
erwards be used if required.

We don't ask anybody to take our word for

anything about the fees and had common

The president and vice president being
absent the board of education was called to
order by the secretary. and on motion
DR.. Schifmann was called to the chair last
evening.
The secretary said he had received num-
Der of bids for furnishing fuel for the

the one from the st. Paul Fuel company.
was not received till one hour and twenty
minutes after the time named in the adver-
tisement On motion of Mr.. Athey this
bid was rejected. The others were read
and referred to the committee on fuel and

John II. DOnnahue sent in word to the
board that unless the heating pipe for the
Washington school was in place by the 2Sth
inst, he, as contractor, would stop work
on the building, and the board would be
held responsible. The matter was referred
to the committee on buildings with power
to act. The board of public works was re-
quested to extend the

now under process of construction on Brad
ley street, to Bedford street, so that the
Lincoln school may be connected there

ADJUSTING THE CLAIMS.
\ Commission 10 Settle Damages by
the Indian Outbreak.

In the district court room of the govern
ment building a commission was in session
yesterday taking evidence on certain claims
growing out of the Indian outbreak in this
state in 1862. The commission is composed
of MeSSrS. Larabie and Morrison. and was
appointed by the secretary of the interior
to investigate the claims of the traders at
the upper and lower Sioux agencies in Min
neSOta. The claimants are Nathan Myrick.
William III. Forbes and Louis RO-
bert, and their aggregate claims
will reach hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The gentlemen named
were licensed by the government to do
trading business with the Indians, and at
the time of the outbreak there was a large
amount due the traders from the Indians.
The effort Is made to recover tbs sums due
at the time of the uprising and also dam
ages for deprsdations committed By the IN
dams. Mr.. Myrick has been labOring for
ten OF dozen years TO have the claims set
tied. and il is likely that the matter will at
last be disposed of. It is thought likely
that the amount will be very much
reduced. Capt. German of Port
land, Or, who is In attendance
upon the commission, and from whom the
above outline was received, left the Sioux
agency 10 join the army four days before
the outbreak occurred, and his life was. no
doubt, saved by the departure. Capt. Cor
man says that if he had thought that this
country was going TO develop so rapidly he
would have anchored here. Where large
towns are now located the captain has
chased and shot the buffalo, and many have
fallen at the crack of his rifle upon the
place where Yellow Medicine now stands.
The captain will visit an Iowa brother
whom he has not seen for twenty years,
leaving this city on Thursday, and thence
return to his home in Portland.

that a general feeling of satisfaction pre-
walls among the Western people under the
present flattering prospects for fall busi-

rain, both in Dakota and Montana, this
season, and crops never looked better.
There is not much business doing West
just now, but what there is is

are being worked to their fullest capacity.
and are in a prosperous condition, and
are furnishing the railroad with q large

the occasion. A GLOBE reporter climbed
three flights of stairs last evening and found
SeIgt. Lyon of the signal service just as he
had made an observation. The officer smiled
with satisfied smile and said
proudly. 'ThiS has been the hottest day

to the burning pavement.

making our county debt on October lst not
less than $685. .O9, instead of $3I, I,4lO.41 as
Is shown by our County Commissioners
statement, made by the County Clerk. On
the 9TH and 9th of October the County Com
missioners met and allowed other bills to the
amount OF $946.6s, as shown in last week 5
issue of THE CHIEF, thus increasing the
county Indebtedness to an amount not less
than S36, ,3lS77, which amount is about the
true amount Of Delta couuty's debt on Octo-
ber lst, as the services for which warrants
we're allowed on October 9th had been con-
trac,ed for or performed before October LIST,
and were owing and had to be paid

an increase of the Indebtedness of Delta

We ask Of the taxpayers u careful study of
