Aid. Lawrence moved, finally, that the

Cooley moved an amendment that new

Capt. Chase reported that George Frenst,
one of the mounted patrol and who has
been an efficient and conscientious officer
for number of years, is losing health and
he therefore recommended that Frenst be
appointed as jaler at the Fourth precinct,
and his request was observed.
The commission then went into executive
session and discussed at length the candi-
dacy of several applicants for the position of
patrol-wagon driver, resulting in referring
the whole matter, in Difference to the ex-

the church methods as uselessly consuming
time and compelling parents to neglect their
homes and their duties. He condemned
theaters as being too near to bar rooms, and
declared skating Kinks were simply places
of allurement to sin, where some went to
undo and others to be undone. The entire
remedy lay in happy cheerful and Chris
tian homes, in making the Preside so en-
joyable that there could be no temptation to
wander
DR., Sample seemed to take a very gloomy
view of the situation. Morals were on the
retrOgrade and alleged good Christians were
more and more of them every year attend
ing the theater, playing cards, dancing and
indulging in other fashionable dissipation.
A young girl had confessed to him her first
step to ruin was taken at parlOr dance.
Nicollet avenue clerks were gambling and
frequenting diSreputable places and sin and
ruin seemed rife. He inveighed severely
against the stage and said he knew Of ac-
tors and actresses who had declared they
must be as the others on the stage-moral
wreckS-in order to live there. In short,
DR.. Sample drew quite pessimistic picture
of the world.
Dr.. Torrey thought the fault could be
found in the fact that people did not take
God with them when they went into scenes
of social pleasure. He also thought most
parents were SHINING in not having more
children. With many ladies it has proven
questionable to have children.

More Lights.

At Yesterdays meeting of the committee
on gas, it was decided to recommend large
number of new street lights, especially in
the First Sixth and Seventh wards. The
larger proportion OF the lights are to be gas,
yet there were many electric lights on the
list
The electric lights that the committee will
recommend are as follows: On the corners
of Twelfth, Eighteenth, Twenty-secOnd
and Twenty-fourth avenues south and
Franklin avenue; on the corners of Tenth,
Twelfth and Fourteenth avenues south and
Fourth street; on Riverside avenue; on the
corners of Twentieth, Twenty-second and
Twenty-fourth avenues south; on the cor
ner of Twenty fourth street and Minnehaha
avenue; on the corner of Nineteenth avenue
south and Twenty-fourth street; on the
corner of Twenty-sixth avenue south and
Twenty-seventh street, and on the corner
of Christmas avenue and Second street

GAS AND ELECTRICITY.
The Electric Light Company Wants
Continuing Clause.

The Electric Light Company Wants
Continuing Clause.
The committee from the city council on
gas had session yesterday which held all
the afternoon, The perpleXing contracts
with the the Brush Electric Light company
and the Minneapolis Gas company were I'M
der consideration. Thomas S. King, the
voluble secretary of the electric light COM
pany, was present to urge the interests he
held so dear. Mr.. King asked that the fol-
lowing paragraph, which appears in the
gas contract. be inserted in the electric
light cOmpany'S contract. He argued that
his company had not as good and equitable
rights for municipal recognition and fair
treatment as the gas company. This is the
desired paragraph:
1t is further agreed that this contract shall
continue in force for two years from the date
of this contract, ut the expiration of which
time either party shall have the right to de-
mand a new contract, or, in case of failure
to agree on such new contract, then to have
the price of lighting fixed by arbitration, as
provided in SAID original ordinance; but in
case no such change is demanded the said
contract shall continue in force until changed
by new contract or by arbitration. Nothing
in this contract shall be considered as abro-
eating or changing any rights of either party
hereto contained in the original franchise
granted to said first party by its grantors by
said second party.
A general discussion ensued in which
Aid. Pratt assumed that the gas company
and the electric light company should be
given quite different considerations by the
city government. The gas company has
an exclusive franchise for manufacturing
gas in the city, whereas the electric light
company is open to general competi-
ton. Therefore it is right to
throw around the gas company certain pro-
lection which the electric light company
cannot claim. Mr.. King could not see the
consistency of the position. He showed
that the electric light company had had the
effect to reduce the price of gas from $50
per lamp post to SIS, and, in addition, said
that his company had already expended
from S75, 900 to 500, 600 in Minneapolis,
and that it had not yet reaped l
cent profit that the company is one
of the fixed and permanent enterprises
Of the city and for that, if nothing else,
should be given at least a fair recognition.
Capt. Cross, the city attorney, had decided
that the paragraph asked for was unc0nsti-
tutional and therefore amounts to nothing.
Yet MI. King wanted it for what it was
worth. AID. Gibson thought it sheer non
sense to claim that it was of no value, but
he was willing to treat both companies in
terested with the same consideration. If
one had the right of perpetuation, Ger
tainly the other should also enjoy it. The
ajority, however, was against him. Aid.
Pratt thought that possibly the perpetuating
clause is wrong, and he argued that two
wrongs do not make right. Aid. Gibson
moved that the time of the contract be eX-
tended for five years, but he found himself
alone again, and the electric light company
appears to be in hard luck.

A FORMAL PROTEST
To Re Made Against the Abolition OF
Carload RaHeS.


The proposition made in Chicago to abOl-
ish carload rates on shipments west and
northwest of that city was the subject of
an important meeting of the board of
trade yesterday morning. This proposition,
defeated last summer at the meeting of the
general traffic managers at Denver, was
resurrected by Chicago and st. Louis mer-
chants, and to successfully combat it was
held to be necessary to the prosperity of the
entire jobbing interests of the Northwest.
The result Of the abolition of carload rates
would be to enable Chicago merchants to
ship a barrel of sugar, for example, as
cheaply as a car load could be shipped, and
to effectually cripple the Jobbing trade of
such cities as Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Kansas City. The matter came before the
board in the form of letters and dispatches
from Kansas City and other points. urging
the board to take immediate action with the
chamber of commerce and Jobbels' asso-
citation, and to have a strong delegation in
Chicago On the 4th inst, when the meeting
would be held. Mr.. Byron OF the Jobbers'
association read an urgent dispatch just re-
ceived, bearing on the same sub
ject. An instrument, protesting against
such change. had been drawn
in Kansas City, and to it was officially at
tached the signatures of the presidents,
respectively. of the board Of trade, chamber
of commerce and Jobbers' association. On
motion OF Col. King the chair was instructed
to appoint committee of the board to act
in connection with similar committees of
the other organizations named.
Upon the adjournment of the board,
Messrs. Phelps, Loring and Byron, re-
spectively representing the board of trade,
chamber Of commerce and Jobbers' associa
ton, held a conference, at which this mat
ter was discussed in its strongest light. The
statement was made that the present rates
were the life OF the jobbing trade of the
Northwest and it would be simply ruinous
to abolish them. 1t was decided to send the
committees at once to Chicago representing
the board of trade, chamber of commerce
and Jobbers' association.

ssDead Reafs.s,

The grocers at their meeting last night
had under special consideration ''dead
BEATS" One member wanted to make
Smiths Dead Beat Advertiser the official
organ of the society, but the more cautious
members opposed the proposition, on the
ground that the society might be held re-
sponsible for criminal libel The scheme
was consequently abandoned, although the
enthusiasm of K. Asleson was spent in fur
thering it. He thought it would be an in
valuable protection. Finally it was decided
that if Smith chose to publish list OF dead
beats" once month in pamphlet form, at
his own risk, they would subscribe, thereby
lending encouragement to the project. A
vast amount of oratory was wasted in dis
cussing the question, the session holding
until late hour.

The Stone-ArcEn Bridge.

Yesterday Engineer Rinker opened the
proposals for constructing the stone arch
bridge across the Mississippi river. There
were five of them, but for perhaps pruden-
tial reasons the engineer refuses to give the
amounts for which it is proposed to DO the
work. To GLOBE reporter he explained
that the masonry is quite complicated, and
in order to arrive at definite conclusions re-
garding the relative merits of the proposals,
vast number of mathematical problems
will have to be solved. 1t will require con-
siderable time. but he promises to make
report covering the whole business at the
next meeting of the council, and will show
who is the lowest bidder. Those making
proposals were Bruce & Barron, Minnesota
Stone company, Ring 81 Tobin, j. Fl.
Nevins and c. F. HOtchkiss of Chicago.

IS III Feasible?
Col. Kings Idea of a Location for
the Exposition.


Col. W. S. King was quite actively en-
gagged yesterday in talking up a scheme for
the proposed exposition building, which, so
far as known, seemed to meet with general
favor. In brief the plan is this: The east
branch of the Mississippi, between NicolIet
island and the East side. is 500 feet wide,
and is used only for the floating of logs to
the mill. Between the Central avenue
bridge and the covered bridge of the Mani
toba road the distance is 800 feet. Col.
Kings plan is to erect piers and build the
exposition building directly over the river,
making a structure S00X500 feet. The
main point is the economy, as it would save
the company $780, 900 it must pay for
block Of land. The cost of the spiles or
piers would be no more than for founda-
ton of an ordinary building. Another
point is that it would be the most central
point for location that could be selected,
and would be the only point that would
satisfy the West side and please the East
side.
The idea was only given out last night,
and created no little talk. Col. King has a
number of points concerning it in addition
to those given above. and is said to be quite
mbued with its feasibility.

Queer Runaway Accident.

One of the strangest runaway accidents
of the year occurred yesterday. Col. M.
W. Glenn's groom had driven his fast trot-
ter down to the Office, corner of Fifth ave-
nue. south and Second street, and just as he
was about to hitch the spirited horse it
took fright and dashed up Second street at
terrific rate of speed. Turning out on
the railway track the frightened horse ran
through the viaduct under First street and
up to within short distance of the union
depot, where she was stopped. Had the
horse taken the right hand track she must
have been killed, for two trains were run
ming down at full speed. The horse was
not injured but the buggy was wrecked.

Appeal Cases and Obligations in the
District Court.
The appeal from the award of the COM
missioner in the proceeding instituted by
the st. Paul 81 Northern Pacific Railway
company for the condemnation of property
of Zilpah P. Carlisle was resumed before
Judge Lochren in the district court. The
award of the commissioners was $175, and
the jury brought in verdict for $3.50. TIL 9
land taken was in Demmon's addition,
North Minneapolis. The appeal of Daniel
Hays from an award of 81, 400, for land
taken in Bottineau's and Northrop's addi-
tiOns was also tried, but the jury failed to
agree up to the adjournment OF court. and
was instructed to return sealed verdict.
Judge Young yesterday continued the
suits of w. l.. KilbOurn VS.. Frank j.
Mackey ct al, and Charles B. Lang VS..
George B. Shepherd ct al, and dismissed
the action brought by j. G. Jackson ct al.
VS.. Emily r. HoIbrook.
Judge Lochren, in the suit of B. W.
Smith VS.. G. A. Carlson ct al, allowed a
motion to amend proceedings, but denied a
request to attach notary'S certificates to de-
positions in the case.
AN INSURANCE DECISION.
In the suit of Emily Olson brought
against the ST. Paul Fire and Marine Insur-
ance company to recover 81, 1876. so insurance
on a house burned last January, Judge
Young yesterday filed a decision for the
plaintiff. The plaintiff purchased the prop
erty of Fransayelia V. Phelps, and after
the purchase was made the insurance pol
icy was transferred to her. Soon after a
cooper shop was erected close by, which
burned in January, and which was the
direct cause of the burning of the plaintiffs
house and contents. The policy contains a
clause to the effect that eff the risk shall
be increased by the erection of any build
ing contiguous thereto 4 y = this pol
icy shall be null and void" In great
measure the result of the case hinged on
the meaning of the word contiguous" In
his decision, Judge Young holds that ''the
word contiguous in the connection in which
it is used in said policy as specifying the
condition upon which the policy should be-
come null and void cannot be held to ex-
tend to property twenty-five feet distant
from the insured property. 1t must be con-
sidered as meaning that which persons
would certainly understand it to mean when
used in similar conversations; that is, 'ad-
jacent or near to- the property which was
the subject of the contract" and under con-
illusions of lawhe renders decision infavor
of the plaintiff of 81, 1926, with interest
at per cent. from April "a, 1885.

quence, but the loss is not appreciable to
those who heard and saw it for the first
time. The comedy is quite good but not
remarkable, but the musical numbers are
