CURRENT COMMENT.

There is no more favorite topic in Mime
apolis than the weather, and 1t is estimated
nine of every ten private letters which have
left here within the past two days contained
mention of the GLORIOUS Minnesota eli
mate" If this weather should hold out
until Christmas the motor company will
send the Hattie out on Lake Calhoun. Such
proceeding would be without precedent.

The building season this year is without
parallel in the annals of the city. Build
ers who have secured space at the North
western exhibit have, as yet, no time to fill
them up and get ready for next years con-
tracts. No better building weather could
be desired, as work has not even slackened.

was deliberately, yet tastefully. dressed with
flowers, the mantelS being buried in banks
of ferns, the arches being hung with sprays

NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL.
Word Given for subscriptions
Places of the Ladies.

Places of the Ladies.
An interesting meeting of the North
western Hospital association was held yes
terday afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
J. NJ. Robinson, corner Seventh street and
Sixth avenue south. The attendance was
large and every officer was present. Most
of the business was purely routine, the re-
ports showing the hospital to be full to
overhowing and impressing more than ever
the need of new and larger quarters. The
building committee reported progress In the
matter of plans and were given further
time. The sum of 1000 was added to the
subscriptions, making total Of $500, OF
which over $4,000 has been subscribed in
the association itself. The value of the
present hospital is SIS. 600, so that the asso-
citation has about S12, 500 of available funds
The word to collect was given and the
ladies relying Oh the known benefcence of
their work expect to quickly raise the sum
necessary to their plans.
The idea of the ladies is to ultimately
have their building as follows: Two build
ings, each 90X50 feet will stand parallel
about 60 feet apart. Midway between
them and separated from each by corridor
10 feet long, will stand square central
building, 46X52 feet. The latter will
contain the offices, dining-room, matron's
quarters and wards for pay patients. The
larger building, each of which will accom-
modate 100 patients, will have ornamental
rounded ends facing Twenty-seventh street
and arranged for sun baths. This idea, it

Commissioner Foote moved that the bids
be referred to the committee on construc-
ton, with instructions to report at an ad-
journed meeting OF the board this afternoon,
and the motion prevailed.
The mayor suggested that immediate &C
ton be taken regarding the purchase of the
flexible joint pipe to be laid on the river
bottom during the winter, and he read a
letter from Charles McRitchie and John
Nichol of Chicago, stating that they would
be glad to submit proposals for furnishing
flexible machine-made pipe, which is abso-
lutely water tight, and asking for a sketch
of the work and the excavation to be made.
and suggesting that it is expensive to do
dredging during frosty weather, in that the
ropes would be constantly covered with ice.
Referred to the committee on extensions.
Mr.. Putnam was given audience, and he
stated that he had submitted written
proposition for furnishing the Putnam ma
chine tools for use On the proposed work

MURDER
rs the Charge Brought by the Gramo
Eur.Ez kn,slast A ssgusI Oys.


jury Against AgsgustOys.
Coroner Hill held an inquest npOn the re-
mains of Mark Norton. killed by August
Oys in a fight in the shops OF the Northern
Barrel company on Wednesday morning.
The evidence showed that the employees Oh
the shop had considerable sport at the ex-
nense of the deceased, chatng him on
account of his recent marriage. Whlle
Norton was generally peaceable man, he
had quick temper. Some one hid his
dinner nail and he flew into passion. He
accused August Oys with having taken 1t,
and when Oys denied the charge Norton
struck him in the mouth. Then OyS struck
Norton three blows with heavy hickory
chimb maui The pOSt-mortem examination
showed that NortOn's skull had been frac-
tured at the base of the brain and in the
opinion of the physicians death resulted
from compression of the brain caused by
hemOrrhage.
The facts of the case were laid before the
grand jury yesterday afternoon and an in
dictment was returned, charging OyS with
murder. He was arraigned shortly before
o'clock, and W. Fl. Donahue his attorney,
asked that he be given until Monday to
plead. to which proposition the county at
torney made no objection. In appearance
the prisoner is almost STRIPPING. not seem
ing to be over IS years of age. He has a
frank, open countenance, and the specta-
tors who witnessed the arraignment felt
nothing but pity for the unfortunate situa-
ton in which he is placed by the killing of
man under sudden impulse of passion,
against whom he had previously no feeling
other than of friendship.
An incident which carries with it good
deal of pathos, was the filing yesterday with
the clerk, by Rev. j. B. Starkey, OF the
marriage certificate of Mark Norton and
Laura Steers. Their honeymoon had only
lasted five days. This was Norton's second
marriage, his first wife having left him
daughter now YEAS old.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
The Grand Jury Recommends That
ItBe Turned Into a Fortress.

ItBe Turned Into a Fortress.
The following is the report of the grand
jury submitted at the conclusion of its
laborS yesterday afternoon:
To the Honorable District Court in and for
Hennepiu County: The grand jury called for
and sitting at the December general term of
said county respectfully report that they
have inquired into the condition of every
preson imprisoned on a criminal charge in the
said county and not indicted, and refer to
the records of this court and the indictments
presented as the evidence of their labors.
That they have examined into the condi-
ton and management of the Hennepin county
jail and find said jail in clearly and salts
factory condition, the food served to prison
erS ample and satisfactory as to quantity anc
quality and the prisoners generally as wei
cared for as the facilities of the building Will
permit. 1t seems impossible at the present
time to classify and separate the prisoners
held in confinement, with reference to their
years and criminal experience, as fully as
should be done, but upon the completion OF
the proposed city workhouSe and removal OF
city prisoners to that institution mucn I'M
prOvement can, and doubtless will, be made
in the direction referred to.
We respectfully recommend that the more
convenient and satisfactory method Tor DIS
tributing food TO the prisoners, as suggested
by Sheriff Bracket, be adopted with as little
delay as need be.
We further recommend the immediate
placing of an iron door and iron shutter at
the main entrance of the jail, provided with
loop holes for the sufficient defense of the
building in case the necessity for such de-
tense shall arise.
We also consider it highly important as a
measure of protection that good and suffi-
cient light or lights be established outside the
main entrance none being established at
presently that no one may be able to approach
the building stealthily or without being ex-
posed to the view of the officers in charge.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The Ideals as Gypsies.

Another very large and fashionable audi
ence was inclosed within the four walls of
the Grand opera house last evening to hear
what was said would be the least popular
of the repertoire, 1.-THE Bohemian Girl. :"
But the prediction was misel able failure.
The average audience is more OF less famil
lar with the beautiful melodies of Balfe's
exquisite opera. and the pleasure is largely
enhanced when the airs that are familiar
without being stale are sung. Mile. ssde
Lussan made a charming Airline and her
solos were applauded to the echo. Karl
sang the part of Frederick only tolerably.
Clarks Count Arnheim was magnifcently
sung and indifferently played, the lines being
only half committed. Tonight ''Vic tor"
will again be sung, and the best house Of
the week is announced.

He has been in training in Eau Claire but
is now resting for the struggle tonight
His friends are confident. He is powerful
and remarkably cool-headed. If he loses
the match it will be after prOtracted strug-
gle. He is young and ambitious and cannot
afford to lose a match. Moth has had a
successful career in heavyweight athletics.
Prof c. O. Duplessis has been mutually
agreed upon as referee He is thoroughly
schooled in the duties of referee, and
his professional pride will lead him to be
strictly impartial and fair. He states that
the report that Cannon has been training in
the Minneapolis gymnasium is an error.
Nor is Prof. Duplessis in any way person
ally interested in the match. His decisions
will be accepted as correct.

MEN OF MIGHT
To Meet in the Wrestling Arena.
General Sporting Notes.


The lovers OF athletic sports saw enough
of Charles Moth and Thomas Cannon ct
their recent Gr@co-Roman match to realize
the fact that they are wonderful wrestlers.
This evening they meet again for $500 a
side and the door receipts in Market hall.
The capacity of the hall will be taxed. The
reserved seat sale continued good yesterday
and probably will to-day. Large sums of
money hinge on the result. Betting has
been even. but Cannon men seem to have
the most money. There are many bets of
$50. and varying from that amount to SIS.
Cannon is in the pink of condition. In
the other match he was a little too heavy.
He has reduced his weight IA pounds
and will wrestle at IT'S. He is sanguine
and last night offered to wager $50 that he
would win two straight falls. He has had
a wonderfully successful career in the
arena. He has defeated Joe Acton. the
champion tch-as-catch-can wrestler of the
world. and wrestled draw with Clarence
Whistler, the champion Gr@co- Roman
wrestler of the world, and he has defeated
Duncan C.. Ross, the champion mixed
wrestler.
Charles Moth is lad in splendid form.

view of his youth and previous good life the
sentence would be mitigated to eighteeh

that the prisoner would see the error OF MS
WAYS and resolve when liberated to lead an
upright life. Ed. Teipner, the assallant OF
Christine Peterson, was arraigned, and
pleaded not guilty.
Samuel Hammond, indicted for attempt
ing to assault a girl 10 years old, also

M'DONALD's GUESS.
The Water Board.

At the meeting of the water board held
yesterday afternoon communication was
received from Strathman Bros. calling the
attention of the board to the demand made
upon them by James Waters for $4,000
royalty upon the two Jumbo pumps built
for the city in 1884. 1t was shown that the
water for the Manitoba railway on Fourth
avenue north had been shut off, and at the
request of j. E. Smith of that road the
superintendent was instructed to turn the
water on again upon the promise of speedy
payment of the tax Warrants were ordered
drawn for the monthly pay roll. Upon the
petition of Mr.. Shepherd the tax and the
penalty for shutting off the water at the
kindergarten, run under the auspices of the
Plymouth church, was related, and that
institution was made exempt from taxation
in the future. A warrant for S723.25 was
ordered drawn in favor of A. J. Dolan for
laying water pipe in November.

Great Guessers.

The water commissioners distinguished
themselves yesterday as Gle yer guessers.
At the afternoon session it was planned to
open the proposals for furnishing the pipe
to be laid in the system next season. This
led to discussion regarding the probable
amounts at which the bidders would pro-
pose to sell the pipe. Finally it was
agreed that each man present should mark
down his guess for the cigars. This was
the result.
Mayor Pillsbury, S29.25; Commissioner
Farnham, S29.78; Commissioner Foote,
$27. 81; Commissioner Andrews, $2S; Com
missioner Davis, $27.52; Superintendent
Henion, S2975; Clerk F. T. Moody, 500.
The lowest average bid was that of Shiekle,
Harrison & Howard of ST. Louis, S27.95.
Andrews was the nearest, while Farnham
was the farthest off, and he had to set up
the cigars.

RATHER UNUSUAL.
Seventeen Jurymen Give Their Fees
100 Complaining Witness.

The grand jury reported last evening in
the district court and was discharged by
Judge Koon until Jan. IL. The jury sig
nalized its release from the narrow confines
of the stuffy little room in the rear of the
court house by an act of generosity which
was quite pleasing, as well as unusual.
Seventeen OF the twenty-one jurymen di-
rected that their fees shall be given to
Christine Peterson. the young Swede girl
who was SO brutality assaulted by the fiend
Teipner. As each fee amounted to 81. so,
the girl will receive S76.50
1t is impossible to tell just how many in
dictments have been found as the result of
the iurys investigations. Nineteen persons
were bound over by the municipal court,
and the cases of five others were continued
for investigation. In thirteen of these cases
arraignmentS have been made, and six
prisoners been discharged, which disposes
of the offenders who were bound over. The
jury, Wednesday, returned fifteen indict-
ments, and ten yesterday, So there are a
number of arraignmentS yet to be made.
The case of George r. Tanner, charged in
the municipal court with keeping house
of ill-fame. was discussed yesterday at
length. Mayor Pillsbury and Aid. Sly
were examined, and several of the demi
monde recalled. The result is not known.
but it is thought that an Indictment has
been returned. Tanner was at the court
house all day long until the jury was dis
charged, but was not arrested. The dis
position of the case of DR.. Pearson. charged
in the municipal court with producing an
abortion, is also unknown.
MOFFAT SENTENCED.
Edward j. Moffat, the young man who
plead guilty to embezzling 1856 from Dick
inson's bazaar, was yesterday arraigned.
He was considerably agitated, and nearly
broke down when Judge Koon questioned
him and drew out a brief story OF his life
how he had left widowed mother in Can
