suit OF A. NJ. Reid VS.. the city council of
Minneapolis to compel the payment before
Aug. % of SO, 700 as an award of damages
for land taken by the city for the extension
of the street known as Mary Place. The
defendant claimed that an amendment To
the city charter passed March 5 allowed
the abandonment of condemnation proceed
ings within ninety days after the order of
the court confirming the award of damages.
The order allowing the plaintiff Judgment
in this case was made Jan. 81. and the
court held that it did not come within the
terms of the amendment of March 5. pre-
vious TO which only thirty days notice of
abandonment of proceedings was allowed.
which time had been allowed to expire.

The city council committees on sewers
and on paving held joint session yester-
day. A large number of interested prop
erty owners and taxpayers were present
The Twin City Street Improvement COM
pany of St Paul laid before the board their
Kerr patent process of street paving, with
valuable explanations and eloquent argu-
ments 70 show that it is the best paving
ever invented. They offered to lay down
few blocks of their paving as a sample or
test. The city engineer took issue with
the president of the company regarding the
claim that frost would not be as liable TO
penetrate as deep below the Kerr paving as
it would below cedar block paving. Nothing
definite. however, was done. yet it is prob
able that the system will be tried during
the season at the stipulated price of S2.20
per yard. The test of sewers decided upon
a week ago was taken up for consideration.
Aid. HashOw appeared in the interest of
the property owners on First avenue south,
between Second street and High street, 10
protest against laying a sewer in that local
ity, arguing that the property owners did
not need a sewer, etc. but il was decided
not TO strike it from the list. A like con-
clusion was arrived at in the matter of lay
ing sewer in Nineteenth avenue south,
against which improvement large number
of citizens protested.

A RAY OF HOPE
That Tie Pratt-PiOneer Press Libel
Silt il aT LAST Over

Suit il at Last over.
Judge LOchren yesterday filed decision
In the famous libel suit of DIR. Leonard
Pratt VS.. the Pioneer Press, which will
probably have the effect of putting an end
to the tedious litigation. The alleged libel
consisted in publishing local item headed
''Culpable Negligence" in which it was
stated that the putrefying remains of an in
fant had been allowed by the physician in
charge to remain in the sick room of the
Young mother. The case has been
tried five times and has twice been before
the supreme court. In the first trial YER
dict for So 600 in favor of the plain
tiff was returned, but was set aside
by Judge Young. In a second
trial the jury disagreed. On the third trial
a struck jury gave verdict for $4,000 for
the plaintiff, which was set aside by Judge
Lochren as excessive, the decision being
confirmed by the supreme court on an APP
peal. On the fourth trial struck jury
failed to agree. The fifth and last trial
was at the April term, when the jury gave
the plaintiff a verdict for "a. .275. The case
now comes up on a motion of the defend
ant to set aside this last verdict, on the
ground of misconduct of the Jury and as
being excessive.
lie Judge reviews the case at consider
aDle length, and states that the alleged libel
resulted from 4 lack of care rather than of
mallce, and does not charge the plaintiff
with any immoral offense. nor does it
eXose him to contempt or hatred. The ar
tlele complained OF simply recited supposed
facts as they appeared TO the reporter of
the paper and the county coroner. and the
case comes very near requiring verdict
for the defendant. Although he finds him
self hardly without precedent in setting
aside verdict in an action for libel upo3
the ground of excessive damages. the iudge
orders that the plaintiff shall release the de-
fendant from the damages over and above
81, coo. If this be done within thirty
DAYS, the defendants motion for new trial
will be denied; if it is not done. the motion
will be granted. The judge also remarks
