DANGER FROM THE wIR Es.

Council Committees Considering the
contract Allowing Fire Alarm and
Electric Liz mt Wires on the same
The council committees on police and fire
department met at the council chamber last
evening to consider the contract made with
the Edison Electric Light and Power COM
pany. The contract provided that on the
poles to be erected by the company. GER
tain part shall be given to the city to string
fire alarm wires on. AT the meeting last
night were Aids. Smith. Petsch, Kenny,
Conley, Sahborn and Dowlan, City Attor-
ney Murray. George c. Squires. attorney
for the ST. Paul Gas Light company, and
|. Il. Jenkins, superintendent of the fire
alarm telegraph. Aid. Sanborn. who acted
as chairman, called the attention of his
colleagues to the danger there was in al
lowing the electric light company to string
wires on the same poles as the fire alarm
system. Superintendent jenkins explained
that the fire ala rm wires would run on the
same poles as the electric light company
wires for thirteen or fourteen
blocks. He also thought there
was danger of spelling the
fire alarm system, unless great care was
used and the electric light wires or the de-
partment wires were insulated. Of those
present Mr.. SQuires, who appeared for the
st. Paul Gas Light company, was the most
alarmed. He pointed out the great danger
TO the fire alarm system and the terrible
loss to business men and property should.
at any time. the electric light wires become
crossed with those of the fire department.
Mr.. SQuires, evidently having the best in
terest not only of the citizens, but the cor
poration which he represented. at heart
warmed up to his work and related how he
had witnessed electric light wires dropping
and burning other wires. with large
fame" He stated that such thing was
liable to happen at any time if the department
wires were strung on the same poles with
the electric light wire. In closing. however,
he asked the committee if any such con-
tract was to be approved that the cor
poration which he represented be also given
the privilege of stringing its electric light
wires on the same poles Aid. Sanborn
and Kenny thought the fire and police alarm
wires should be put on the opposite side of
the street and on independent poles. City
Attorney Murray explained that for the
fifteen blocks mentioned in the contract it
would be impossible to put up another line
of poles. as both sides of the streets were
already occupied with telegraph and tele-
phone poles. The contract was referred TO
the city attorney to make some minor
changes and will come up for approval at
the next council meeting.

A BIG Id r. Al.

Purchase OF 100000 Tract of
Land by the Northern Pacific
Halfway Company.-A Flour Mill
to be Erected By MIR. Lindeke.
For several weeks negotiatio,.s have
been in progress between William Lindeke
and the Northern Pacific railroad for the
CONVEYANCE to the latter of a considerable
part of the Lindeke property. located near
what has for years been known as the
Lindeke mill property, in the eastern part
of the city. These negotiations have now
eliminated in sale by Mr.. Lindeke to the
railroad company of two-tifths of the Lin
deke mill property for $3.50, 600. The
ground is needed by the road for extra
trackage. Mr.. Lindeke has owned part
of this property for twenty-five years.
He originally paid about $4,000 for
the whole tract. He retains three
fifths of it on Sixth. Seventh and
Eighth streets. $50 feet fronting on
Seventh street. Mr.. Lindeke is now driv
ing piles for the foundation for his new
mil. and has let the contract for the en-
gineS and boilers and is preparing his plans
for machinery. The contract is also let for
part of the building. The mill will front on
Seventh street. and will have capacity of
200 to $50 barrelsa day. One side of it will
be along the Northern Pacific tracks. This
purchase gives the Northern Pacific big
and very desirable piece of trackage. and at
the same time will give Mr.. Lindeke good
facilities for shipping the -four he manufac-
lures.

MAJORS DAUGHTER"
Carleton's Gorgeous Production of
Offcnbach's tsest Opera Scores a
Great Success at the Grand.

1.-THE Drum Majors Daughter" is the
foremost of Offenbach's modern subjects.
The libretto is full of excellent sentiments
and the music has an exquisite melody.
The opera runs in the French groove, being
a commingling of military situations with
airy, waltz-like strains of music. Its first
production in this city was by the Carleton
Opera company at the Grand last night
The large audience was mainly composed
of cultured people, capable of giving an
intelligent criticism, and if the demonstra-
tons of approval are to be construed into
verdict, the opera was decided hit.
The performance was highly creditabIe
in every detail. The stage effects were
good and the costuming simply gorgeous.
1t is a rare thing to see such expensive cos
tunes worn by the chorus people as in the
production of this opera. The leading
roles were taken by Mr.. Carleton in the
character of Captain Robert and Miss
Sanues in that of Stella. Both were IL
splendid voice. Carleton never sang bet
ter. and Miss SamuelS' voice was as soft
and delicately clear as the warbling OF a
bird. Miss Rice gave chic representation
of the little drummer. Miss Vincent made
a splendid impression in the new role OF a
vivandere, and scored the greatest success
of the performance. Miss Wisdom makes
a stately duchess, and wore her c0rOnet
with dignity befitting the high station.
Mr.. Drew's imperSOnat.OD of the old Duke
Volta was in his best humorous vein. MIR.
TayIOr'S fine tenor voice found good scope
in the scores allotted to the part of the
Marquis Bambin. while Mr.. Greensfelder,
as the Drum Major, bore the brunt OF the
performance in a manner most credltable
to his artistic talent, both as singer and
actor. The chorus does admirable work
throughout particularly in the opening and
closing scenes. 1.-The Drum Majors
Daughter will be repeated tonight and
to- morrow matinee. To morrow night tue
Carleton engagement will close with
"NanOn." '.-i'ta
DRAMATIC NOTES. I'D
Sale of reserved seats for 'Erminie'' will
open this morning at the box Office of the
Grand. This is the new opera that has had a
great run in the Eastern Cit e this season. 1t
will be presented at the Ora d Monday night
by the New York Casino company and will
continue all week.
The drum majors whiskers tried to get
ava. with him last night, but the old CAM
paigner held his ground. The situation was
as trying to Greensfelder as it was comical TO
the audience. 1t takes nerve to be an actor
sometimes as well as a soldier.
1.-THE Drum Ma. or's Daughter has good
plot as well as sparkling music. 1t gives fine
opportunities for good acting as well as good
singing. The Carleton company is fully up
TO both standards.
The grand entry of the French troops into
Milan gives stirring military effect TO the
conclusion OF the opera. 1t was o0serrabl e
that the entire audie"ce sat perfectly still
until tue curtain dropped.
1t is refreshing to hear a new opera now
and then

Governor Forakers Convict Witness Re-

Governor Foraker's Convict Witness Re-
fuses to Perjure Himself.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1.-THE bottom
was completely knocked out Of the In
famous persecution of DR.. G. 3. Mont.
gomeTy today. FOraker's cane manu-
fscturer F. W. Nye, refused to peIjrre
himself, having s0ured on the gang.
Nye was expected to swear that walnut
desk was made beside the cherry desk,
but told the truth, and testified that he
made only one desk. Clerk Lang of the
penitentiary was placed on the stand
and produced the books, showing
the record OF the amount paid
by DR.. Montgomery for the desk in ques-
ton. Prosecuting Attorney Huling
then admitted that the charge was made
against Montgomery upon the statement
of Nye, that walnut table had been
made by him. This outrageous perse-
cution, founded upon conVicts' stories,
is disgusting everybody, and the fact
that the convict refused to perjure him
self has still further opened the eyes OF
the people, The affair is denounced on
every hand, and Justice Frltchey will
not dare to hold the accused unless he
fears the power or the gang in the com
ing convention more than the indigna
tion Of the people.
The trustees of the Soldiers and Sail.
Ors' Orphans Home at Xena will meet

ker for committing the objectionable
offense of voting for Governor Hoadly
for Foraker has been convinced of the
fact that his conduct In removing two
trustees and the superintendent has de
moralizsd the institution to such an ex.
tent that 1t would not do to continue
his dirty work at present. Although
Anxious to remove Gilkey, the royal de-
cree was issued to day that he would be
allowed to remain, policy thus prevail
ing over personal feelings and bitter
partisanship.
