BIDS FOR FURNACES.
Nine Members of the Board of Edu-
cation Discuss Them.


cation Discuss Them.
The board of education met last evening
for the purpose of opening and considering
the bids for the furnaces for the new school
buildings. Those present, before the meet
ing was called to order, numbered nine.
While this number was sufficient for ordi-
nary business, it was not large enough for
the special business of the meeting, but it
was concluded, after waiting for half an
hour, to organize and thus be ready if
some other members should come. Presi-
dent Fogg then called the meeting to Or
der. and the bids for the furnaces were
opened and read as follows:
Prendergast Bros, calorific, Boynton's
Wolterstorf q Moritz, Fuller & Warren,
No. 305, for two coal-burners .. S75 IS
George Adams, palace King coal... 594 60
AS soon as the bids were read it was evil
dent that a struggle was to precede the
award, and that the fight lay between the
Boynton and the Fuller & Warren furnaces.
The first attempt to do anything with the
bids was motion of Mr.. Athey to refer the
bids to the committee with power to act.
The chair refused to entertain it, and
lively discussion followed on the merits of
the two kinds Of furnaces, after which Mr..
Simmon then made motion that the bids
be referred to the committee, and that the
committee be directed to close the contract
with Mr.. Adams for the Palace King, as
that was the cheapest of the three. The
chair declared that this motion could not be
entertained, and the members seeing there
was no use in wasting their time further on
the subject, adjourned.

Sunday School Entertainment.

The Goodrich Avenue Presbyterian Sum
day school, under the management of Su-
perintendent Walsh, gave an entertainment
last night at the Athenaum to about three
hundred children, who were accompanied
by their parents and friends to about the
same number. The exercises consisted of
music, singing and an entertaining talk by
Santa Claus. A quartet of four little girls,
consisting of the Misses Christine Koch,
Jennie Kane, Rosa Swanik and Anna ia
litchka was very acceptably rendered and
reflects great credit on their teacher, Miss
Nellie Newson. A representation of Christ
mas eve at home, with all the little ones
gathered around the arm chair of grandma,
asking her to tell them a story of Christ
mas, hanging up the stocking and the ap-
pearance of old Mic coming down the CHM
ney were heartily appreciated by the little
ones. Miss Banning, as grandma. told the
story of Christmas eve in very amusing
manner pleasing not only the little ones
but the grown people as well. The enter
tainment was concluded by presenting each
of the children with handsome package of
the goodies left by Santa Claus.

Heroes of Chicamauga.

A meeting of the surviving members of
the Second Regiment of Minnesota volun-
teers was held at No. 100 East Seventh
street yesterday afternoon. The inclemency
of the weather prevented many from at
tending and only about thirty of the vet
Grams were present. 1t was decided, after
quite discussion to postpone the annual
reunion until September. The argument
advanced for making the change was that
the season of the year was more appropri-
ate, and the state fair occurring in that
month it would give the members an op-
portunity of attending it, and also give
them the advantage Of cheap railway trans
portation. The date was not settled upon,
but it will undoubtedly be arranged so as
to include the 18th, 10th and goth of Sep
TENDER, the anniversary of the battle of
Chicamauga in which the regiment partici-
pated. There are now about 26O surviving
members of the regiment.

MORMON MATTERS.
Return of Ex-Gov. Ramsey, Chair
man of the Utah COmmi ssion.

Return of EX-GOV. Ramsey, Chair.
man of the Utah Commission.
Hon. Alex Ramsey, chairman of the
Utah commission, returned to the city yes
terday after two weeks absence in Phila-
delphia. To a GLOBE reporter who called
upon him last evening he said that although
his trip East had been taken at a time
when the recent excitement in Utah was
attracting general attention, it had no con-
nection whatever with that matter, or any
other regarding his position and duties as a
member Of the Utah commission. He had
merely accompanied his daughter and her
family East and had not given Utah mat
tiers any of his attention. After stay in
Philadelphia he had returned directly to St.
Paul, leaving the former place at 9:10 p. m.
Saturday and arriving here at $3.50 yester-
day afternoon, it being the quickest trip he
had ever made from the East. When con-
versing upon Mormon affairs Mr.. Ramsey
said that there was really nothing that he
could say, as he was not in possession of
any information concerning affairs in that
territory that had not already been made
public, and declined to express an opinion
upon the recent mysterious movement
of United States troops ordered there, or
Gu6 exposure OIL MOriuOH plOtS W tuIIdp
United States officials. The commission of
which he was member and chairman. was
supervising in its character, and therefore
it would not be in place to speak of matters
that he might be called upon to consider in
an official capacity. The board had COM
plete supervision of the registration and
elections, and so successful had been their
work that there was not single polygamist
allowed to exercise the franchise or enjoy
office, although nearly all of the local Off
GERS were Mormons, who, while not them
selves practicing polygamy, extended their
sympathy and influence to their polygamous
brethren, and retarded the efforts of the
commission all they could. What course
would next be pursued in regard to Utah
affairs could not be determined until after
some action had been taken on the Ed
mund's bill, now before congress.
Gov. Ramsey said that he should leave
for Salt Lake City in about two weeks. to
meet his colleagues, some of whom were
already there, for the purpose of attending
the registration and other matters that
would be brought before the commission.

CHARLES HAS GONE.
ssChris'' Martin Skips the Town I'm
der Cloud.

1t is reported that Charles II. Martin,
who formerly kept the notorious 'Monte
Cristo," has folded his tent and silently
stolen away, much to the discontinue of
several creditors. Martin was arrested a
week ago charged with keeping house of
ill-fame on Fifth street, near the old
''Monte Cristo" castle. He furnished bail
and was released. The night previous to
Martins arrest the house was pulled and
an inmate. Lizzie johnson, who was sus-
pected of robbing companion of S21, es-
capped. Last Friday night she was arrested
in the house in company with a Fort Smell
ing warrior and locked up, ultimately
going out to the workhouse for
thirty days. About 8 o'clock Saturday
morning fire was discovered in the
house from which the people had been
taken, but it was eXtfnguished without
much damage. Suspicion was aroused that
the fire was incendlary. Yesterday morn
ing at o'clock the place was again found
to be on fire, and this time the flames Quilted
the building and rendered its condition such
that Building Inspector johnson condemned
it. Yesterday Henry johnson, son of Liz
zie johnson. claimed that he heard Martin
tell NJ. EbertSoD to set fire to the house,
and Ebertson was arrested and arraigned
before Judge Cory, who examined and dis
charged him, failing to find evidence enough

MIR. Frank G. Bangs i'm ssThe Silver
King,,.-NOtes.
In spite of the stormy weather last even
ing an audience of considerable size was at
the Grand on the first presentation of 1.-THE
Silver King" by Mr.. James Macks
company. Mr.. Frank G. Bangs, who
has the title role, has not been in st. Paul
for seven years, and he was seen for the first
time last night by the larger portion of the
audience. The play is superbly mounted
and the scenes are shifted with great rapid
ity, SO that there IS short delay when
the curtain is down, and by the swing
ing double stage, the drop is avoided at one
or two points where it sometimes occurs.
Especially fine effects are gained in this way
| in the third act, when the rich villa is
changed to the poor cottage in twinkling.
| From the start MI. Bangs pleased the audi
ence immensely. He has a fine form, pow
erful frame and a voice that is deep and rich.
In the first act he was called before the cur
! tain and again in the second. When he
| came out for the second time he begged the
audience to bear with him if he did not
please them as they anticipated. 1t was
with difficulty, he said, that he could go
| through the lines, for q severe cold had
settled in his throat, making
it painful for him to speak. The
audience met him with hearty applause and
forgot his infirmity for the rest of the even
ing. All through the play the part of
Denver has little but the strongest emo
tons, sometimes coming out in full force
and sometimes smothered. The expression
of these, while it may have been painful to
Mr.. Bangs, by reason of his cold, was yet
/ so well done that few could criticise him.
| His acting took immensely. Mr.. Bangs
was well supported. Miss Grace Thorne as
Nellie Denver was decidedly good, and Mr..
Sam Verney as Jaikes, Horace Vinton as
Capt. Herbert Skinner, Miss Gail Forrest
as his wife, and little Winnie Shannon as
Cissy were worthy of special no
| tice. With the leading characters
SO strong. the support so good and the set
ting so elaborate, the attraction is one of
{ the best that has been at the Grand for
! some time.

A KICK AGAINST THE PARK.
1t Comes q Little Too High For
Their Joint.

The board of public works held regular
session yesterday afternoon. The follow
ing assessments were completed and the
clerk ordered to give confirmation notice:
Opening, widening and extending Goodrich
avenue, from Dale to Lexington avenue;
change of grade on Pennsylvania avenue,
from Jackson to COlumbia change of grade
on Grove street, from Mississippi to Mon
roe. The matter Of assessment for several
street improvements was adjourned till
Jan. II.
BACKING OUT.
A remonstrance against reassessment for
a park bounded by st. Peter, Bluff and
Martin streets were received. There were
about seventy residents of that ward pres
ent headed by Aid. Kerr and Attorney John
w. Willis. who voiced their desires, which
were that the council be asked to annul all
proceedings that had been taken in the
matter. In explaining the situations the
professors, who were originally the
petitioners for the park, said that
when they sent in their petition they under
stood that the city would pay half OF the
expense of laying it out and improving it,
and they had also got the idea that the
property could be bought for about half the
price asked for it. They found that they
were badly fooled" and now, in order to
save themselves from heavy assessment,
they wanted the matter dropped and the
park forgotten. Aid. Kerr asked that the
matter be laid over until the council meets,
when he would bring it before that body.
At his request it was adjourned two weeks.
