safe to say that there has not been a bet

Business at sillery's 0uarries.

BUSINESS at Siliery's Quarries.
During 1884, Mr.. James Silleiy has
shipped from his quarries at Stockton,
over the Penna. R. R., about 600 cars OF
stone, the principal part of them going to
Burlington, N. j., and Paramount Park,
Philadelphia. The job at Burlington was
for large foundry for A. II. McNeal.
1t took between 1900 and 5000 perch of
one, two and three men stone.
The job in Paramount Park, was princi-
pally cut stone. 1t was a double-arch
bridge, 30 feet span, all cut stone, and is
said, will, when completed, be the finest
arch bridge in the Park. Mr.. Sillery has
now about twenty stone cutters working
on the job, and hopes to finish this month.
1t will be seen, therefore, that Mr.. Sill
lery's quarries are doing large business.
He is hard working, enterprising bust
ness man, and deserves to succeed.

Murdered i'm Cellar.

YORK, Pa, Nov. 12.-About year ago
Mrs. Rosina Berg, doctress, who kept
house in the southeastern section of the
town for Mr.. Koehler, a man named Dan
iels and another man disappeared suddenly,
and it was given out by the men that she
had gone to Germany. On Tuesday sus-
picion of the neighbOrs caused search,
and, buried in the cellar of the
house, the remains of a woman were
found. Charles Trevert, boarder in the
family, was arrested and confessed that last
spring, led by the appearance of the ground
in the corner of cellar, and smell ema-
mating therefrom, he dug and found the
corpse Of a woman. Fearing that he would
get his companions into trouble if he made
known his discovery, he reinterred the
body and kept quiet. One of the rumors
atioat is that the woman committed suicide
and was buried by the inmates of
the house in ignorance of the require
ments of the law. The body of
Mrs. Berg was exhumed by the coroner
this evening. The skeleton retained small
portion of dry flesh and skin and around
the neck was twisted rope and handker-
chief. The walls are spotted with rope
and small piece of rope hangs from the
joists Of the floor above the grave. She was
known to have about 81, 500 shortly before
her disappearance. In a ditch near the
grave was found the clothing of the dead
woman, which was identified. A jury
was impaneled, but the investigation was
postponed till tomorrow.

FLOUR MiaL MACHINERY.
Points on the Washburn Plant.
Relative Consumption.


Relative Consumption.
The Engineers club of Minnesota met
last night in the Vanderburgh block and
listened to paper by w. F. Brooks on the
Machinery of the Washbun Mills. 1t was
rather a technical document, and yet OF
general interest in many respects, dealing
largely with the new understanding
device and patent condenser and purifier.
The first named consists of an arrangement
by which current of super-heated air is
discharged into the grate-bars, perfecting
the combustion and producing greater de-
gree of heat with the same amount Of fuel.
The principle is that of a hot blast in an
iron blast furnace, and the result a saving
of from Is to 20 per cent. OF fuel. The
purifier and condenser are devices for clear
ing the river water, for boiler use, of the
sand clay and lime. and injecting it heated
into the boilers. The paper concluded with
the statement that the Washburn plant was
unexcelled, and produced barrel of flour
with twenty-five pounds of coal.
The discussion which followed was inter-
esting. Mr.. De la Barre stated the mill had
two driving belts, manufactured in Mime
apolis, than which there were only three
larger in the country. They were of
leather, 40 and sc inches broad, respectively.
weighing 5000 and 1000 pounds and NOV
ing at the rate of a mile minute. He had
addressed letters to the mills with steam
plants and found that it required an average
of twenty-six pounds of coal to the barrel
of flour. 1t was estimated that each pound
of coal evaporated eight pounds Of water, so
that the Pillsbury mill. on the basis given,
turning out $500 barrels per day, would
consume in that time 143, 600 pounds OF
coal and evaporate Liza, 900 pounds OF
water. The rest of the discussion was
purely technical and therefore of no public

a restaurant and ordered a dozen New York
counts and a spring chicken.
Sergt. Kirkham succeeded in securing the
dismissal, through underhanded means, Of
Sergt. Tom Nelson, and now it stands the

After short recess
SECRETARY HART
addressed the meeting He said MS Knowi-
edge of the sufferings and needs OF new
convicts was such as naturally arouse MS
warmest sympathy. He would, however,
attempt to consider the question of convict
labor from a candid and disinter-
ested standpoint. He gave a
short history of the convict
prison from the time of Pope Clement down
to the present, describing the first labor
prison which was established at Client,
Belgium, in IT'S; the penal colony system
of England. which was in vogue before the
Revolution, anyway, and finally the first
penitentiary at Portland in 1S47. Also
the first pententiary in America, which
was established at Philadelphia in 1910;
the solitary confinement system, which
either killed men or made idiots of them.
The systems employed in the different
states were next considered. The speaker
had no heSitancy in pronouncing
THE CONTRACT SYSTEM
as the most injurious to the convicts them
selves. as well as damaging to the honest
workingmen on the outside. The cOntrac-

and work them to death, in some cases.
The prison system is also invariably inter-
fered with. The appointment of keepers
and officers through political influence is
another unvarying source of injury. In
order to have prison reform politics must be
held aloof. What shall be done? In the
first place the convict must work.
Sanitary, reformatory and economic
reasons point to this, as well as justice
In order that the work of convicts shall not
injure honest industry, their work should
be as diversified as possible. In any
instance convict labor must compete IN
certain degree with the honest working
men, but the system can be such as to rem
der the competition no more injurious than
other classes of labor. The danger in Min
nesota is that the legislature has authorized
the building of a new penitentlary to be
located near a stone quarry, where the
work of the convicts will compete with one
industry, l. e., stone cutting. If the work.
ingmen wish to conserve their own inter-
eSts, they will work for change in the law
which will provide for the establishment of
an intermediate prison, instead of prison
wn..~h. like the Saltwater penitentiary,
will sln.rlY create monopoly of stone
cutting for ). hbers to grow rich out of.
These remarks were greeted with long
applause, and the hops was expressed that
the gentlemen would agal.- favor the labor
ing men of Minneapolis with similar adj
dresses in more cemmodious hall.
The following resolution, offered by j. P.
McGaughey, was then unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That the reformatory treatment
of prisoners, as indicated by the method in
vogue In the institution at E mira, N. Y,
comnends itself to our favor, and we express
our conviction that the same system should
be introduced into the projected second
prison Of the state, and that it should be
made an intermediate prison or reformatory.

NELSON WILLIAMS, Superintendent.
The bill of Thomas Doyle for lodging for
John Weigand was allowed, and after Mr..
Weigand had made statement in which
he said it would be a kindness to him If
some one would kill him. and that he would
not accept one meal a day at the city lookup
because he is not a criminal, 1t was voted
that the superintendent procure for him
lodging and one meal day at the best
possible rates.
Weigand, who was injured some time ago,
has since been an object OF charity. Inc
superintendent has endeavored to provide
for him. and has offered to furnish him
meals at the city lookup. He has spent
some time at the county poor house, but the
authorities there refuse to receive him there
again, and he refuses to go under any Gil
cumstances. A restaurant had offered to
furnish one meal day for Sc per month.
The rates at the poor farm are So per month.
and it was shown that he can be furnished
with lodging for $3.50 per month, making
some 50. so more than the cost Of keeping
him at the poor farm.
Supt. Williams thought that matter OF
considerable importance was presented in
the case of Mrs. P. Peterson, who is an old
lady and utterly helpless. She had been
treated at the hospital for some time, but is
now with Der daughter in South Minneapo-
lis. The superintendent was given author
ity to purchase cot for the invalid. The
superintendent stated in this connection
that he allowed the daughter SIS per month.
She is poor. Her husband is getting S1.25
per day. The question of an ambulance.
which was ordered purchased some time ago,
was brought up and discussed. The super
intendent and the committee previously au-
thorlZed to purchase were instrucred to
secure the ambulance from Roberts & Len
host at an early date. Adjourned.

MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.

Patsy Cardiff, accompanied by Charles
Moth, the heavyweight Gr@co-Roman
wrestler, arrived in the city last evening.
and took in the Cannon-Shields match.
Patsy Cardiff states that the allegation
made by Curtis of Eau Claire that he
(Curtis) won the fight in one round is an
unmitigated prevarication. When shown
the communication Cardiff at once deposited
knock Curtis out in one round in this city.
Cardiff's friends are willing to make the
bet larger if Curtis prefers.
THE CANNoN-sHIELDs MATCH.
1t was not a very large audience that
witnessed the Cannon-Shields mixed wrest-
ling match in Market hall last night When
stripped Cannon appeared to be in the
better condition. but the Scotch
man was not in bad condition.
Backhold or Scotch style was first chosen,
and after one minutes struggle Cannon won
it. The next style was catch-aS-catch-can
and at the end Of eight minutes Cannon
sprang to the floor in a sitting position.
Shields grasped him quickly by the fore
head and pulled him backward. almost
winning the fall. They both worked hard
for half minute, and Shields turned Can
non upon his back, but the Californian
turned so quickly that the referee was led
into deciding that it was not fall. Can
non then won the fall squarely. Time, 10
minutes.
The next fall was collar-and- elbow.
Cannon took inside grapevine, but was
only too glad to relinquish it to save fall.
After a little sparrng with the feet, Can.
non gave the grapevine another trial, but
with no better success. Shields turning
him upon one shoulder and one hip. He
would undoubtedly have won the fall there
had not Shields hold slipped in making the
fall. Cannon cried out, Lee, he has bro
ken his hold" but the audience wouldn't
allow it that way, although the referee
stated that he would give Cannon the fall
if he asked it. Cannon would not be so
unfair as to ask it, and the bout was re-
newed, ending in Shields taking an outside
grapevine with success. Time, 10 min
utes.
The last fall was Graco- Roman and was
easily won by Cannon.
As soon as the match was ended Cannon
cried out:
''Fll wrestle Mr.. Moth right now and
here for $500 a side. Patsy Cardiff stepped
to the footlights and challenged Mr.. Cannon
to wrestle Mr.. Moth one week later for
$3.50 side, ''or for as much money as Can
non has and can tind," he added. A match

THE CETY,S POOR.
The Sum of S2,22S.13 Expended
During the Month of October.

Mayor Pillsbury presided at the regular
terday. The sessions of this body have
always been held in secret. The inquisi-
tive reporter has been invariably ''fred,"
and reports have been furnished by the su-
perintendent's clerk. The press formulated
a vigorous kick against such peremptory
treatment and knocked loudly at the
door for admission. Yesterday Aid.
Swenson moved that they be admitted.
Supt. Williams objected. He argued that
there are many things which should not be
given to the public which are brought be-
fore the board, but after a twenty-minute
discussion. Aid. Swenson's motion pre-
vailed, and the reporters are now admitted.
The superintendent reported that there
are number of city patients afflicted with
loathsome disease who are being treated
at st. Barnabas hospital. The hospital
authorities have found that it is impossible
10 secure nurses for such patients at the
ordinary price, and although it had been
agreed that all city patients should be
treated Tor So per week, the hospital can
not accept them for less than IS per week.
Supt. Williams stated that he could not see
why the city ought to have hospital of its
own. Aid. Moreck moved that the sS
proposition be accepted, and the motion
prevailed.
