ssPainting the Town.,

During Saturday night five young men
started out on commendable painting ex-
petition. To ''paint the town" was the
manifest height of their laudable ambitions.
They are generally industrious young men,
and had just received their weeks wages.
Before the break of day" on Sunday
morning they brought up hllariously in
front of a First street bagnio. They rang
the bell. but ''the house was full" Then
it was but the work of moment to kick a
hole through the door and effect an en-
trance. A collision with the sirens fol-
lowed and then police call. The five
young men were arrested and yesterday
were arraigned, and each paid a fine of $40.
The names found on the municipal court
registry read: John Stranson, Joseph Stet-
son, John Peterson, Henry Hawkins and
John Smith. There is a faint suspicion
that the cognomens so given are misleading

THE DAY FIXED.
The Industrial Exposition Will be
Opened Aug. %. 1886.

An important meeting of the directors of
the Industrial exposition was held yester-
day afternoon and business of vital interest
transacted. 1t was deemed necessary to at
once fix the day of the opening and keep it
ever before the public. After some little
discussion it was decided to open the doors
on Aug. 25. 1886. the fourth Monday of the
month This date, it was held, would the
least interfere with the state fair and
would draw visitors to both cities just in
time to take in both fair and exposition.
In response to the suggestion to the public
to send in recommendations on a site, a
great batch of communications was re-
ceived naming every imaginable spot. from
the Diamond mill up north to the Short
line bridge, and from the Union elevator,
on the East side, to Lake Calhoun. Some
OF these were read for information, and it
was remarked that at least lively interest
was taken. The board decided to hold
weekly meetings, so as to keep themselves
and the public completely en- rapport with
the situation. The fund last night passed
the $3.50, 900 mark, originally set as the
limit, and showed S251,06s. There re-
mains now S4S 932 to make up the re
quired sum of $780, 600, and half of the
month of December is left to raise it in.

twins KILLED by a Blunder.

Through ignorance and shocking mad
vertency Mrs. James Kennedy of No. 600
Sixth avenue northeast administered fatal
dose of cough syrup to her twin babes, only
five weeks old. The little ones were suf-
fering from severe cold and the mother
gave each a teaspoonful of cough syrup. A
few moments later the little ones were
thrown into deadly commissions. A ply
stefan was quickly summoned. and antidotes
administered, but the poison proved fatal,
the children dying within an hour or so.
Coroner Hill was notified and he made a
searching investigation. He found that
the directions were plainly printed Oh the
bottle, and that teaspoonful was a large
dose for an adult. Only few drops should
have been given the babes. The mother
had neglected to read the directions and had
supposed the medicine harmless. No in
quest will be held.

was brought up. The committee had voted
to lay the pay ement on Washington av-
enue as an experiment, between Tenth and
Twelfth avenues south, provided the con-
sent of the property owners could be Sc
cured, the city agreeing to pay the addi-
tional expense out of the general improve
ment fund. The Twin City Paving COM
pany of st. Paul, owners of the patent,
called upon the property owners but failed
| in their attempts to prevail upon them to
try the new pavement. The property own
ers are exceedingly suspicious of any new
tangled" arrangements. Consequently the
project had to be foregone.
THE CEDAR BLOCK PAVING.
The matter of cedar block paving was
then brought up. A. w. Barrows stated
that he had observed that there is senti-
ment against awarding the contract to any
one contractor, and in favor of dividing it
up. James Forrestal & Co. were the low
est bidders for all cedar-block paving ex-
cept on Western avenue, and on that par
ticular street, Thomas j. Canney'S pro-
posal was the lowest. The commissioners
at a previous session had decided to award
to lowest bidders, and yesterday Aid. john
sod insisted upon that course as proper and
the only thing to do in view OF justice to
taxpayers and to contractors.
Aid. Walsh stated that complaints had
been made to the council that there were
three Forrestals besides Mr.. Ryan acting in
conjunction although bidding separately.
If the council should become convinced that
such state of affairs exists, the proposals,
all and sngularly, would be thrown out.
James Forrestal-Being present, eX-
planned that the council had been erro-
neously informed. James Forrestal & Co.
is firm composed of two Forrestals and
Mr.. Ryan, while William Forrestal has no
connection whatever with the firm.
Aid. Barrows- That being true, and
everything else being equal, l am in favor
of awarding cantractS to residents de facto,
and disapprove of importing labor to the
detriment of our own laborers.
Mr.. Forrestal-I own property here and
voted in Minneapolis last spring. [ think
that makes NE citizen OF this city. Be-
sides l employ Minneapolis labor, except on
sewer rock work.
! Mr.. Barrows-Then you should get mar
ried and settle down here.
Mr.. Forrestal blushed a crimson hue, but
said nothing.
1t was decided to award all contracts to
Forrestal & Co., except for Western avenue,
and that to 7. j. Conney.

ings of the Pastors.


Rev. A. Mortensen of New York, Nor
wegian minister of some renown, was in
the city yesterday and was introduced at
the weekly meeting of the pastors, in the
Syndicate block. He stated he was enlisted
in the cause of -MormOnism and was
determined to save Scandinavia from the
blighting influence of the ''sunSet cancer"
Mormon agents and missionaries in great
numbers go through Scandinavia, and by
Misrepresentation convert many of the
simple inhabitants who are predisposed to
come to America. Rev. MOrtenson pro-
poses to go to Utah. familiarize himself
with the Mormon life and religion and then
return to Scandinavia to prevent further
conversion there. He was hidden God
speed.
The paper of the session was an interest
ing historical sketch by Rev. Peter Stryker.
on the Edict of Nantes. He spoke OF the
persecution and suffering of the Huguenots,
and in the edict traced the Masters hand,
for they had gone abroad sowing the seeds
of Christianity throughout the world.

with the first Sunday in January, was
brought up and it was decided to hold union

THE BOZ QUESTION.

The special committee of which Aid.
Walsh is the chairman. and to which had
been referred Aid. Lawrence's motion to
abolish the contract system upon public
works. and also Aid. Gibson's motion to
adopt the eight-hour System, met in secret
session and discussed the problem at length.
The result only is made public viz: That
the committee recommend the adoption of
the resolution to abolish the contract sys-
TEN, but that the eight-hour system is i'm
practicable and not in the bailiwick of the
council. 1t is question with which the
legislature alone can deal,

success because there are too many char
liable societies here and too little poverty.
1t was stated that it is impossible to make
a success until each and every society re-
ports regularly to the central council the
names of every beneficiary.
Previous to an adjournment Rev. TOrrey,
Father McGolrick and Rev. JgertseD were
appointed committee to nominate officers
and revise the constitution.
