THE COUNTY JAgE.
Sheriff Bracket Thinks Secretary
Harris Criticisms Unjust.

Sheriff Bracket Thinks Secretary
Harris Criticisms Unjust.
Secretary Harris quarterly report on the
jals of Minnesota, in which he says the
Hennepin county jail, under Sheriff Brack-
EFT, has not improved as had been hoped, is
not particularly fattering to your manage
ment, is it?" was asked of Sheriff Bracket
yesterday.
''Well, hardly. but I think his criticism
is unjust to me. | would like to have these
improvements he speaks of made, as they
have several times recommended them,
but the county commissioners say they have
not got the money to do it. You wouldn't
expect me to remodel the jail at my own
expense, especially as [ have not been III
office for sufficient time to accumulate
very much money. Mr.. Hart is mistaken
in saying that we have no rules. We have
rules and they are lived up to. We can't
have bath rooms until the county commits
sioners see fit to provide them. Our clas-
Sifcation of prisoners is as distinct as
our present facilities will permit. The jail
is as dark as ever, and will continue so in
spite of anything l can do until the build
ing is remodeled. How about the mur-
derer Spaulding being confined in dun
geon which is only fit for refractory pris-
oners?" "Well. he is kept in the only
place and identical place in which he was
sentenced to be confined by the honorable
judge of the district court. and is much
better man physically, now. than when
first placed there. No. don't think Mr..
Harris criticisms are justified. He made a
cursory examination of the Jail about four
weeks ago, while l was in the court room
with a jury. Perhaps he is able to make
an intelligent report from this examination
but doubt it."

Size Of Weight
Pine. per it.

Total. 1877, 429 feet. equal to over twenty
four miles in length.
Commissioner Foote moved that the
superintendent be instructed to advertise
for all water pipe to be used during the
year 1886, the bids to be opened on Thurs
day, Dec. 3, 1885, the amount Of sizes of
the pipe to conform to the list made by the
engineer of the board.
Commissioner Andrews counseled further
delay in taking action and moved an amend
ment to that end on the ground that in his
estimation the benefits would follow Occu-
plying all possible time in advertising for
proposals.
Commissioner Foote showed that the
board had saved a vast sum of money in
making an early purchase in past seasons,
and believed the same principle would still
hold good. The amendment failed and the
original motion prevailed, proposals for fur
nishing special castings to be opened Oh the
same day.
The secretary was instructed to change
the size of the pipe on Fifth street between
Hennepin and Nicollet avenues from eight
to SiX-inch mains.
The matter of preparing the advertise
ment for furnishing pipe was referred to
the superintendent and Commissioners An
drews and Davis.
STEAM POWER.
Mayor Pillsbury brought up the question
of supplementary steam power as a prOtec-
ton to the water works system in the con-
tingency of anchor ice blocking up the
wheels or gratings, and urged that immedi-
ate action be taken. Referred to the COM
mittee on construction to ascertain the
amount of power desirable and the specific
system.
j. B. Bassett made protest against the
present rentals for water to supply steam
boilers. He claimed that the rates are ex-
tortionate and particularly unjust, because
of the great difference in the amount Of
water used in boilers fnr heating purposes
and for motive power purposes.
Adjourned until next week Thursday.

inch, for the safety of the Crown Roller
mill in case of fire.
Commissioner Davis took the floor to adj
vocate the measure not only as protection
to the mills, but as a protection 10 the pump
house which is located near the mills in
question.
While he felt like furnishing the mills all
the protection within the power OF the
board, Commissioner Foote believed that
two connections were beyond reason.
Mr.. Hardenbergh made response that he
had been paying water rental OF $3.50
per annum, and he felt convinced that that
should entitle him to protection from fire.
The motion as made by Mr.. Foote was
adopted.
The budget of bills for October was Or
dered liquidated. The committee on claims
and accounts presented communication
from Edgar Folsum'S attorney offering to
settle an old claim for work done on the
coiferdam at the pump house for SO, 093.66.
Laid on the table. An inspector reported
that Messrs. Bail & Struck. plumbers, were
making connections without authority, and
the superintendent was instructed to recon-
mend that the license held by the firm be
revoked on account of frequent violations.
Mayor Pillsbury came back to the Har-
denberg's petition. He felt it the duty of
the board to supply the mills with adequate
fire protection. In case that the petition
ers feel that they are paying too high rental
they have the common recourse OF putting
in water meter to measure the quantities
used.
Engineer Waters presented the following
estimates, which were allowed, the same
being Oh mains laid during the present sea-
son:
John Gleason & Co., for laying 16, 491
feet of pipe on Third avenue north and
Fifth street southeast, $1,04S.S4.

CASE OF TIE POLICE CLERK
And the Dainty TIaidens Arrested as
Being ssR OOIslers,,

ana ING OsSAhtS Va SaEe1enS Arrested as
Being 'sROOners."
The complaint of Minnie Brewer and
Mabel Hawkins, nee Mitchell, against Ed
A. Stevens, clerk of police, charging him
with assault and battery, was the attraction
at the police court yesterday afternoon and
was aired before full house. The two
girls named are known as ''roomers," and
Tor some time have lived at the Acme hotel,
the latter having since been married The
case was called yesterday morning, but the
absence of witnesses compelled a cOntinu-
ance until afternoon, at which time Judge
Bailey heard the evidence. There was moth
ing salacious, and it was made interesting
TO the gaping crowd only by the sharp
language between Nh Jordan, for the
prosecution, and Mr.. Stevens, who appeared
for himself. Language was used for which
a fine for coutemut would promptly have
been imposed in a higher court. but Judge
Bailey good-naturedly winked at the bellig-
erentS. Minnie Brewer is elicate-looking
girl, evidently not in robust health, while
Mrs. Hawkins is a plump, attractive piece
of femininity, with a quick. bright manner
that made her a swift witness. Stevens
appeared for himself and seemed to under
stand the conduct Of such a case.
THE TESTIMONY
for the prosecution was that Stevens very
roughly used the two women in the second
floor hall of the Tanner house, hurting the
left arm and shoulder of the Brewer and
tearing the brocaded satin wrap of the
Hawkins. The girls both sWore to the

The Massachusetts Association.

Nearly 800 members of the Massachu-
sets association met last evening at Curtiss
hall. A brief business meeting was first
held. c. j. Braydon proposed that the as
ISOLATION should rent commodious hall
which can be used for meetings and enter
tainments and supplied with periodicals.
His idea was that the hall should be kept
open both day and night for the conven-
fence of members and visitors from the Bay
state. He thought, as the membership in
cludes over 800, that the pro rata share of
the expense will be so small as not to be
onerous. Several members thought the
plan too expensive, and after some discus
sion committee consisting of G. A. Bray
don. E. A. Sumner and G. w. Marchant
was appointed to investigate the feasibility
of the project. The entertainment which

promptly arraigned. The preliminary eX-

Minnie Brewer and Adell Hawkins, the
two girls who boarded at the Acme hotel,
and who were the complaining witnesses in
yesterdays assault and battery case against

ments in house of ill-fame. These cases
were continued until Nov. II.
The developments which will be made in
the case promise to prove rich and racy.
The air is full of rumors of threatened
countercharges of serious character, and
the defense has already taken steps to sub

CURRENT COMMENT.

The question Of the expense Of the run
ming Of the fire department. or rather the
methods employed in making purchases,
were given hauling over the Goals" at
the council meeting last night. Aid. Law
renee complained that a bill for new
buggy for the chief came before the COM
mittee much to its surprise, inasmuch as
the purchase had been unauthorized.
49,
In this connection Aid. Johnson sug-
gested that the bills for job printing should
be carefully examined by a competent man,
to prevent the city from being imposed
upon. 1t has been alleged by many print
ers that the contract price for such work is
far below the first cost. That being true,
the alderman thought if the bills were hon
estly made the official printer cannot but
lose money, and that he would not continue
the contract.
1t is reported that searching investiga-
ton is to be made into the mysteries of the
Stevens-T Tanner Mitchell-Brewer imbroglio
by the police commission soon. 1t is due
Mr.. Stevens, if he be innocent OF the i'm
plications made against him, that he be
indicated, and if he be guilty that he suf-
fer the penalty. He seems confident that
he can establish his innocence beyond per-
adventure and the opposition is quite busily
engaged in getting evidence, taking afida-
Wits, ETC., alleging serious Irregularities on
the part of the clerk.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is cmphati-
cally a working president He not only
believes in carrying out his ideas in prac-
tiee and doing this so thoroughly and 80
well that even the most mncorous parti-
san opponents among the Republican
newspapers are unable to make any point
against him but he also believes in work
ing himself, and having those who are
around him work, too. There arc no
sinecures, now in Washington, as there
were under his various predecessor. All
have to give some equivalent for the
salaries they receive; and the busiest
worker of all is the president himself.
One little circumstance, which was devel
oped a few days ago during the visit of
Archdeacon Farrar to Washington. sig
nifcantly illustrates this. When the
English church official called at the exccu-
tive mansion, the president went with him
to visit the white house conservatory, and
it was the first visit he had made to that
attractive floral establishment Il is well
for the president, and for the country also,
that he is blessed with a solid and strong
makeup; otherwise he would ere this
have broken down under the strain ofthat
unsparing work which is involved in his
practice of 6nt finding out for himself the
real character and bearing OF every sub
ject before he acts upon IT.

1t seems to be true that the teamer
track from New York to Aspinwall goes
not through hurricanes, but between
them. The log-books sustain the asser-
ton. A hundred to n hundred and
forty miles off, on either side, there are
terrific storms. When / passed over it
the smoothness of the ocean was like a
river from New York to Colon; the
same ON the western side until we ap-
preached the Californian gulf, when
-cross-current met us. Then for two
meals only of the two voyages we used
the table rack, a partitioned rail, as
provision against the upsetting of tea
and soup; and in passing through the
Golden Gate we completed more than
5000 miles on the ocean without so
much as the threat of a gale.
