The Oakland street improvements.
The board of public works is now asking
for bids for the building of retaining wall
between Oakland street and Pleasant ave-
nue., and the grading of Oakland street.
Some particulars of this important improve
ment have already been given. According
to the specifications the wall entends from
Ramsey street southwesterly to point 1900
feet distant. The wall will be constructed
Of three different kinds of stone. st. Paul
limestone is specified for the foundation ma
sonry; Red Wing stone or other equally as
good will be used for the face masonry Of
the range work, and st. Paul blue stone
will constitute the coarse rubble backing
The specifications further require that the
embankment shall be properly sloped and
| sOdded, and that a neat wire fence shall be
placed along the top. The grading will be
similar to that done elsewhere with this
provision that the surface of the street to a
depth of nine inches must be made of the
best material taken from the excavation.
The entire work. when completed, will pre-
sent neat and calmly appearance, while
the practical benefits from the improvement
can best be estimated when the work has
been finished.

in the upper coast country, but that the
peach crop would be short. In the San
Joachim valley the wheat crop was short,
but in the valleys of Oregon, Washington,
Western and Central Montana they saw the
most luxuriant growth of wheat they had
ever seen. The ranges of the great graz

THE CORONER,S INQUEST
On the Remains of Il. j. Law. who
Died From Levinskyss Bullet.

Coroner Quinn held an Inquest at the I'M
dertaking establishment of Mccarthy & DON
nelly last night on the remains of T. j Law,
morning, and died early yesterday morning
from the effect of the wound. DR.. Mar
kOe, who, with DrS. Wheaton and Burt,
attended the deceased, and afterwards
held post mortem, testified that
death was caused by the gun shot. Peter
Francis and wife both testified that the in
slant that Law was shot they saw smoke at
Levinsky's kitchen window, but did not see
Levinsky until few minutes later. He
then stood in the window and smiled. I'm
der protest of N. r. Mumm and Moritz
Helm, who have been engaged as counsel for
Levinsky, Mrs. Levinsky was put ON the
stand. She said she was in the yard at the
time of the shooting, and could not say who
did it. Her husband had been acting
peculiarly ever since the death of his son.
When Law came around the morning of the
shooting she and her husband were talking
about it, and both of them were crying over
their loss. She said she had never heard
her husband making any threats against
Laws life.
The only other witness was Mrs. f. D.
Goodrich Of 234 Grant street, Minneapolis.
This lady, it appeared from her testimony,
was formerly Laws wife. They were mar
ried in London, Ont, twenty years ago, Mrs.
Goodrich being then only IA years old.
Law was a photographer at that time, and
in the few years succeeding their marriage
made considerable money. He afterwards
took to drink and lost all he had previously
earned. They moved West few years
ago, shortly after which Mrs. Law procured
divorce. Her maiden name was Emma
Eastling. She had not seen deceased for
some time, but Immediately identified him
as I. j. Law, her former husband. This
concluded the evidence The jury returned
verdict of death by gun shot, fired, as
the jury have reasonable cause to suppose,
by one f. Levinsky."
Before he died, Law made will through
Mr.. Tuhey. He had $475 in the bank.
500 of which he left to niece in Mime
apolis, $50 to Mrs. Francis and the re-
mainder to son of whose whereabouts he
was ignorant. His cabin on the flats will
become the property OF Mrs. Francis.
LevinSky, the man arrested for the deed,
was arraigned in the municipal court yes
terday morning ON the charge of murder,
and was remanded until Wednesday.

A SURPRISE PARTY
Given Hon. w. p. Murray ON Hi
Sixtieth RirthdaY.

Given Hon. w. p. Murray ON His
SixtietAa birthday.
The Hon. William p. Murray, city attor-
ney, was treated to genuine surprise last
evening, which quite upset him. Yesterday
being the sixtieth anniversary of his BIRTH
day, the members of his family decided to
give him a surprise party. Mrs. Murray
fell upon a happy and successful plan for
keeping the matter from her husband. She
enlisted the kindly assistance of the Hon.
George l.. Becker, who promised to manage
the matter. Accordingly Gen. Becker and
the board of public works invited him to
5 o'clock dinner, and kept him till little
after o'clock, when they started for his
residence. Upon driving up to the door of
his house on Nina avenue, he began to look
around to see if they had reached the right
place. The veranda in front of the house
was brilliantly Illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, and Seibert's orchestra was.
discoursing pleasant music, while
the whole house was lighted,
the doors all thrown open, and
throngs of people were passing to and fro.
When the proprietor of the house left the
carriage and passed up onto the broad
piazza, he was surrounded by host of old
friends, who overwhelmed him with con-
CALCULATIONS. He began then to comprehend
that he was a victim of surprise party,
and evidently made up his mind to make
the best of it.
THE FIRST PRESENTATION.
After Mr.. Murray had passed through
the throng of friends and shaken hands with
everybody, Hon. P. III. Kelly led DR.. Day
up to where Mr.. Murray was standing
and Informed the latter that the doctor
had few words he desired to speak to
him. The doctor then rolled out from one
side OF the room large, heavy and elegant
easy chair, and in a few pleasant words in
formed Mr.. Murray that his friends, mindful
OF the occasion, desired to remember him in
some substantial manner. He (Mr. Muir
ray) had lived in this community for over
thirty years, and had occupied MANY i'm
portant positions, and during all that time
he had commanded the respect and esteem
OF his fellow citizens in very high
degree The doctor referred to sew
eral pleasant incidents in the past,
and then formally presented the chair. Mr.
Murray sought to reply, and, after speaking
few words expressive of his thanks, was
so overcome that he could proceed no fur
ther and left the room.
Soon after, Mr.. Riheldaffer re-entered the
room with Mr.. Murray, and in few appro-
pirate remarks presented him, on behalf Of
Mr.. MurTays children, with large and ele-
CANT mantle clock.
ANOTHER PRESENT.
A number of his friends whose names
are given below, presented him with
bronze pedestal, and accompanied the same
with the following communication:
Hon. William P. Murray, Dear Sir:
Please accept this pedestal jardinere set as
a slight token of our esteem and remem-
hraDca.

driving along Locust. street. The

their fare, but they paid no attention to it
and continued the rocking act. Finally
the driver got mad and made run for the
men, who quietly stepped off and disap-
peared. A third party, however, who was
in the game, at this time got in his work.
He was running beside the car and as soon

TAXPAYERS, h RESOLUTIONS.
A Document NIeriting the Attention
Of Economical Citizens.

A Document Meriting the Attention
of Economical Citizens.
The following resolutions have been pre-
pared to be present at the next meeting OF
the st. Paul Taxpayers association, and, if
approved, will be presented for the votes Of
the association:
| Whereas, The newspapers of st. Paul have
falsely set up the claim that this is city, to
| the great detriment of the inhabitants
| thereof; and
Whereas, BY this egregious conduct they
have so swollen the heads of certain citizens
and ofaceholders that they have appropriated
money for public service just as it this were
a city: and
| Whereas. This expenditure of money in
| wolves the levy of taxes, in the furtherance
! OF so-called modern improvements, which,
although lighter than those of cities gener-
ally, are heavier than those of villages, much
| to the grief and burden of the members of
this association; therefore,
| Resolved by. the members of the ST. Paul
Taxpayers association, That st. Paul is not
| q city.
| Resolved, That the efforts on the part of
| the unbridled press of this place to make 1t so
| appear merit the severe condemnation of all
good citizens who favor low taxes.
| Resolved, That the present wasteful system
Of police in st. Paul should be discontinued,
and that in its place should be appointed
three Watchmen at night with lanterns and
pixies, who should cry the hours of night and
tails well'' or sails il" as the case may be-
| Resolved, That well water was good enough
| for our fathers TO drink, and it is good enough
for US, and that the present extravaganza
water system, whereby water is brought
from the lakes at great expense, should be
! abolished.
| Resolved, That the present system OF
| schooling educates our children too much,
that no child should be allowed to go to
| school more than three hours per day, that
the curriculum should extend no further
| than the rule of three in DabalPS arithmetic,
and that teachers should board around.
| Resolved, That the present elaborate and
pampered fire department is positive injury
to St. Paul, that it should be disbanded, that
the steam engines should be thrown into the
river, that the engine houses should be used
for churches, and that every householder
should be obliged to keep on his premises at
least two (2) pals of water for extinguishing
| fires.
Resolved, That we view with alarm the
efforts of some misguided people to prejudice
the public mind in favor of spending several
thousand dollars out of the public money for
park purposes, and that these efforts If sue
cessful will increase the taxes tenth of a
| mill at least and will bring further distress to
| US, the taxpayers.
| Resolved, That these are degenerate days
anyhow, that every public officer is thief,
| that every public Improvement is steal, and
| that the world would be much better Off
| without newspapers, which are always urging
| the peoples servants to spend the peoples
money. JOHN S. KUYSON, President.
