THE PARK SYSTEM.
Proceedings of Yesterdays Meeting
of the Park Commission.

At a regular meeting of the park commits
sion, held yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Brack-
ett's desire to secure ground for boulevard
around Powder Horn lake instead of going
out Bloomington avenue. He said it was
the intention of the property owners on the
borders of the lake to make it dumping
ground for series of years, so as TO fill in
the lake and destroy it. The result
would be that the lake would be converted
into miserable ceSSpool. Mr.. Baldwin
explained that the entirI AXE is plated for
lots, with the expectation of filling it in.
Mr.. Cleveland thought that the improve
ment of the lake would add immeaSurably
TO the value of the surrounding property.
The ground is beautifully situated and if
improved it will be one of the prettiest of
all in the system, and its value would be
enhanced because it would be on the drive
way to st. Paul. The lake lies between
Lake street on the north, Yale avenue on
the east and Bloomington avenue on the
west. 1t was referred TO Commissioner
Brackett to investigate.
Mr.. Cleveland being nearly ready to leave
for the East the president was authorized
TO make a full settlement with him for
services rendered.
Commissioner Comstock moved that the
president of the commission appoint a
committee to confer with a like committee
from the water board TO confer in regard TO
the supply of water for the various parks.
President Loring was of the opinion that
the sentiment of citizens and taxpayers of
the city is, considering the vast amount of
money expended on the park system, that
water should be supplied for keeping the
parks green without expense TO the board.
Commissioner ComstOck stated further
more that the water board had voted that
the commission should pay the same rates
for water as private individuals.
There are some very peculiar men on
the water board, :" remarked Commissioner
Morrison.
Commissioner Morrison moved that a
number Of employees of the parks be vested
with limited police powers, in the discretion
of the president and the superintendent
The secretary of the board was instructed
TO petition the city council to have the
streets heretofore designated by the park
commissioners on the border of Lake Har-
riet vacated and converted into park ways.
The matter of the Thirty-fourth street
boulevard was brought up and discussed,
and it was left with Commissioner Austin
to investigate further and report grounds
upon which settlements may be made.
Judge Fish reported the decision of the
supreme court in park cases, as published
in the GLOBE at the time.
The attorney and secretary were in
structed to collect the names of all parties
from whom the board is to acquire land for
the East river boulevard, so that the board
may make settlement.
The finance committee reported budget
of bills, which were ordered paid, as was
the months pay roll.
Commissioner Pillsbury moved that the
pay roll in the future pass through the
same course as other city pay rolls.

A SOCIAL SCANDAL.
Prominent People Connected with
a Divorce Case.

n Divorce Case.
In the district court yesterday afternoon
Judge Young granted an unconditional di-
yorce to Mrs. Minnie A. Grimshaw from
her husband. William II. Grimshaw, and,
holding Grimshaw to be an unfit person,
gave the custody of an infant child to the
lady. There was no defense in the case,
whatever. Grimshaw virtually pleaded
guilty to the charges set up in the COM
plant, which were verified by affidavit. The
complaint sets forth that Minnie and Will
lam Grimshaw were married at Minneapo-
lis on Oct. 2s, 1875, and lived together
until April Is, 1885; that she was SO years
of age and he 81; that from May 1, 1854,
up to the time of filing the complaint he
had been living in adultery, two or three
times week, with Mrs. Bliss, who lives
on Park avenue, between Twenty-siXth
and Twenty-seventh streets; wherefore she
prayed the court TO grant her divorce from
the said William ii. Grimshaw and give to
her the custody of their infant child. All Of
which the court ordered. as above.
William II. Grimshaw is probably very
generally known about the city as a sue
cesSful architect, and handsome, genial
young man. Until April IS he resided
with his wife at handsome and coZy home
at 81 Highland avenue. Oak Lake, where,
for all the world knew, the utmost peace
and happiness reigned. About the time
mentioned he requested his wife to pack
his trunk, whereupon he quietly moved
down town, and separated himself from his
family. Mrs. Grimshaw, left alone and
without the means of subsistence, was ad-
vised by counsel to bring an action for sup
port, but finally decided, on the advice of
friends, to bring suit for divorce, which
suit eliminated yesterday. These facts
have been widely known throughout the
city, but, until sanctioned by publication in
the courts, were not given through the
newspapers.

SIMPLY AN ACCIDENT.
The COrOner's Inquest on the Re-
mains OF Felix Stacy.

The coroner held an inquest yesterday
upon the remains of Felix G. Stacy, killed
on Friday by falling scaffOlding on the
Emerson school building. There was a
large number of witnesses examined, con-
suming the major portion of the day. A
large number of the bricklayers of the CITY.
who manifested deep interest in the case.
were present The erection of the school
building is under the contract of J. G. Hall.
and the deceased was in his employ as a
bricklayer at the time of the accident.
The contractor testified at the inquest that
he had constructed the scaffolding which
gave way, in which he was assisted
by laborer named Swan Nelson.
de alleged that the scaffolding was prop-
erly constructed, in the usual manner. He
stated that the hodcarriers are ALWAYS la
bic to overload the platform. especially
when the bricllayers are otherwise engaged
than laying brick. At the time of the ae-
cident there were seven hodIoads of bricks
on the scafTold, weight that was not an
ticipated when the scaffold was built. The
masons have charge of the amount of brick
delivered TO them. Simmons. a fellow
mason, testified that he had been i'm Mr.
Halls employ three seasons, and he ALWAYS
considered him an especially careful man
and never felt uneasy on a scaffold Hall
had built.
r. II. Shadrick testified. as chairman of
the investigating committee of the Brick
layers union, that the scaffOlding. i'm his
opinion, gave way from insufficient nail
ing.
Several of the fellow employees on the build
ing testified that they considered the scaf-
foldiug properly constructed, while others
were somewhat in doubt.
1t was the opinion of the jury, upon care
fully considering the testimony adduced.
that there must have been some flaw either
in the lumber or the nails, perhaps. used in
the platform, but they did not believe the
contractor was guilty of careleSsneSs. IL
was one of the thousands of unaccountable
accidents of daily occurrence throughout
the world, and the verdict was to the effect
that the deceased came to his death by be-
ing thrown TO the ground by a falling scaf-
folding, from cause unknown to them.
