AFATAE RUNAWAY.
A Horse Killed and the Driver
Badly Injured.

A Scandinavian named Otto johnson re-
Gently purchased team of horses and
wagon, and secured employment upon
street Improvements. The horses took
fright at a train of cars on the South Wash

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
A Word to Workingmen.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The municipal contest just closed proves
that there is a power in the workingmen
that cannot be ScOffed at. In choosing men
to represent us,we always seek to select the
best men we have. But we often lose sight
OF the various classes from which we have
to choose. A business man cannot properly
represent the interests of mechanic,
neither can mechanic properly represent
the interests of a business man, and much
less can a professional man represent either
OF them. We have to live in this world on
the principle that one hand washes the
other, as regards parties as well as men.
Recognizing these things, the industrial
classes of the city have sought to establish
them, and their final establishment must be
the result Of their efforts, for
they have the means to do it,
and will in the near future
increase the advancement already made.
The body of workingmen has started on the
onward march in this country, and it cannot
be stayed by any power until it has received
its just allowance and it's proper proportion
OF representation in governmental affairs.
Some of the victories recorded to the
efforts of the workingmen in public affairs
are those Of Detroit and Bay City, Mich.
In Detroit, by pursuing somewhat differ
emit plan of action than the one pursued in
st. Paul, they elected every man on their
ticket from the mayor down to the con-
stable. And in Bay City they scored a SIM
liar victory. These things only show what
they can do, and are an evidence of what
they will do.
Yet they have no especial desire to be-
come party in themselves, so long as they
can receive due recognition at the hands Of
the now existing parties. But they under
stand their rights and will have them, if
not through cooperation with old parties,
then by and through their own party. That
the day is not far distant when they can do
this in the event OF it's necessity is proven
by the fact that in some states they control
at the present time more than $50, 600 votes.
But we feel safe in saying that the old
party politicians of ST. Paul do see the i'm
portance of a proper recognition of the
rights of the industrial classes, and will be
willing to accede to their just demands.
There are some reforms looked for in the
city affairs by them, and they do not expect
to be disappointed. Ro-BAL.

MINNEAPOLIS LUMRERMEN.
A Change Proposed i'm the Nlctho
of Grading.

A Change Proposed in the Method
of Grading.
The Lumbermen's exchange last evening
voted to change the method of sorting di-
mension lumber so as to make but two
grades, common and cuHS. At present di-
mension lumber is sorted in three classes.
first common, second common and cullS.
The bulk of the demand is for second COM
mon, and the lumbemen. decided that it
would be best to adopt the classification in
vogue at Chicago and most other numbering
centerS of having only one grade of COM
mon. Twelve of the leading firms Of the
city favored the change, and committee
composed of John De Laittre, S. w. Farm
ham and j. c. Kimble was appointed to see
the firms not represented and secure their
assent to the agreement. The change will
apply only to green lumber. The prices OF
the first and second grades of common az
present are $11 and 50 respectively, and
under the new deal the price of the straight
common dimension will be $11. About one
fifth of the lumber that formerly was clasSed
as second common will be put into cullS I'M

CEDAR BLOCK PAVING.
why Soft wood is Used--WOrk Now
Under Way.

why Soft wood is Used.-W0rk Now
Under Way.
''Why don't they use hard wood instead
of that soft stuff"
The querist was one of a group of men
standing on Nicollet avenue, near Eighth,
yesterday afternoon, intently observing the
paving of the avenue with cedar block. He
neld piece of one of the blocks in his hand,
whiting the soft, white wood with knife.
This question has frequently been asked
before, but the answer is very simple one.
Inspector Quinn answered it by taking one
of the blocks that had been in use for a
number of years. The upper surface was
firm as ever, with the edges turned over in
a condition similar to that Of post after re-
peated hard blows. There was no chipping
or splitting and the round, mashed edge
presented tough, fibrOus appearance.
''You see," said he, chow this edge rolls
over without breaking. Now take this
shaving [ cut from a new block and see how
tough 1t is. If the wood was hard it would
split and crack and the calkS
of a horseshoe would chip
pieces out of it. but as it is. the little pebbles
sink into it and form hard, unyielding
and durable surface. That paving will
as anybody could ask"
The cedar used for paving purposes is
supposed to come from Michi-
gan or Canada, and all city contracts call
for that kind. The Minnesota and Wis
consin wood seems to have less of what
they call the cedar acid" in it and is there
fore more liable to decay. Kenny, the con-
tractor, says his poles all came from Michi-
gan, but it has been whispered about that
some of them were never further East than
Wisconsin. 81 have heard that intimated
myself" said the Inspector, ''but have
found none but Michigan cedar, SO far"
The beauty Of the block pavement takes
several forms. Not only has it proved dur
able clean and noiseless but it is very
economical, in the long run, from the fact
that the foundation remains intact, anCPnew
blocks can be set at any time. When once
the bed is prepared the work of laying the
cylinders Of wood progresses very rapidly.
Clean, dry gravel is raked over the surfaces
to fill the intersticeS, which are thoroughly
rammed, after which the entire pavement is
solidlfied by coat of cement made Of pitch
and tar. While less durable than the Bel
gian granite block, cedar paving is more de-
sIrable because it is nOiSeless. Merchants
appreciate this as well as householders along
the street, and will always pay higher rents
for locations on cedar paved streets. Second
avenue south, now being paved with cedar
to Thirteenth street, will be made one of
the finest in the city. The work of grading
and curling has already begun, and it is the
intention to push the contracts through as
early in the summer as possible.

Military Matters.

Company B last night celebrated its third
anniversary. After a rigorous inspection
at the armory, the company fell in, with

ton without dissenting voice." Coming

TroubIe About Stocks.

The suit of f. r. Bryant against Ell. M.
Jameson to recover $3.50 on promissory
note, was before Judge Lochren in the dis
trict court yesterday. The defendant set
up in his answer that the plaintiff fraud
ulently represented that he owned large
interest in the Manitoba Consolidated Gold
and Silver Mining company, and that said
mine was paying well, its stock being i'll
good demand. Upon this statement the
defendant says he was induced to give
his note for $500 in exchange for stock in
the company, which he claims he has
found to be comparatively useless. The
case was partially heard and will be re-
Sumed this morning.

The Grand opera house held another
large and cultured audience last night on
the occasion of the second performance by
the McCaull Opera Comique company.
The bill was Strauss beautiful opera,
prince Methusalem," with ibretto with
which all sorts of liberties were taken, for
the sake of fun. This humorous mutilation
could not, however, affect the glorious mel
odies of Strauss, which were sung to per-
lection. The solo parts were as before,
admirably taken. and too much cannot be
said of the superb chorus. which is so often
careless andnegligent.
At the matinee to-day ''Falka" will be
given again, and tonight ''Prince Methu-
salem" will be the bill.

Posting immoral show Bills.

To the Editor of the Globes.
The legislature of 1885 passed an act
prohibiting the exhibiting, circulating or
posting, in any conspicuous place, of any
picture, handful or poster containing OBJ
scene, indecent or immoral representations. :"
Such offense to be punished by fine OF i'm
prisonment, or both, etc.
This act is now law, as it was to take
effect from and after its passage, March 5.
Permit me to ask if the life-size pictures of
half-nude females now being exhibited On
the bill boards of our city is or is not a
violation of said law? They are certainly
both ''obscene, indecent and immoral. %
And if so, whose ds&y is it to have this law
enforced? believe the grand jury is now
in session.
Smaller groups of the same kind are sus-
pended in the show windows of nearly every
saloon in the city. Yours truly,

wo-and-a-half- year-old daughter named
Elsie to play with box of buttons. I'm
happily six opium pills had been left acct
dentally in the box and the child swallowed
them all, and shortly after went into
stupor. This attracted the attention of the
mother, who summoned physician with
all possible haste, but the doctor arrived too
late. The poison had all been absorbed and
the child died soon after. The coroner was
notified, but no inquest will be held.

THE EASTERN STAR.
1t Continues to Shine Despite the
Decree of Suspension.

The recent incorporation of the Grand
Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in
this city has created the utmost excitement
among the members of the order. Mrs.
Jennie E. Matthews, most worthy grand
matron, has ignored the new chapter and
disclaimed it ON the ground that it's incep-
ton was irregular and consequently illegal.
She visited this city on Monday to set her
stamp Of condemnation upon the organiza-
ton, and then went to Pennington to attend
the old branch of the grand chapter of the
order, which she claims is alone deserving
of recognition. She says the new chapter
is now under suspension. Notwithstand-

tended by representatives from various
points in the state. The organization was
