MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.

Park avenue was literally alive yesterday
with fast horses.
Minneapolis owners of thoroughbreds will
interest themselves in the Minnesota Jockey
club.
The Mercury Bicycle club has empowered
the executive committee TO arrange for
midwinter entertainment.
Tobogganing is becoming a craze in Min
neapolis. Last evening the slides had all
they could do to accommodate the merry
patrons.
The members of the Minneapolis Tobog-
gan club will inaugurate their winter sport
on tomorrow evening on Lowry hill. The
members are requested TO meet at the West
hotel on Saturday evening at ESQ for the
purpose Of forming permanent organiza-
ton.
Tom Shields has gone back to his old tao
tics. He will wreStle James Faulkner at
Cincinnati on Saturday night under the
name of John Gorham. Evidently his de-
feats in Minneapolis discouraged him, and
he feels unwilling TO risk his reputation
until he has won few matches.
The McLaughlin-Moth mixed wrestling
contest Jan. Is will be held in the Leland
rink. A stage will be erected in the middle
the one on which Mclaughlin wrestled But
Ter, so that all the spectators can easily see
the whole floor of the stage. There will be
400 reserved seats.
What has become of the base ball pro-
ject? 1t would seem that the scheme lacks
energy or else the movement is i'm want of a
leader. A league can be organized i'm the
Northwest which will prove profitable in
vestment and furnish excellent field sport.
Duluth has taken the initiative and is now
waiting for Minneapolis and St. Paul to
come TO her support.
Frank L. Hamilton has accepted Leroy
Durgin's challenge TO pedestrian match as
follows: will walk you fifty-hOur race,
square heel-and-toe. for 500 a side. the
winning man to take two-thirds of the net
gate receipts. To show mean what say
l am prepared to make a deposit of $50
with any reliable person as forfeit money.
Man and money will be ready at any time
! you may name.
The new penal code proscribes prize
fighting, but Paul Schmedeman says he will
take his chances. On New Years day he
received present to which he takes pro-
nounced exceptions. The present came
from Chaska, and an investigation reveals
the fact that wag of that city known as
Paddy Hauk' was the donor. To-day
Paul will start for ChaSka with blood in his
eye, metaphorically speaking. He will
challenge Paddy" who has quite loca
reputation. to meet him in a twenty-foul
foot ring with large gloves, in Minneapoli:
within two weeks, according to the Hote
Gazette rules. He says that Peebee, that
celebrated man of Drawn, shall be hi:

INFESTED GAS METERS.
A Plumber Descants Upon Alleged
Irregularities.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
l would like to make few remarks con-
corning the Minneapolis Gas company.
The company claims that no plumber has
right to interfere in any way with their
meters or fixtures, while 1 claim that in
cases of necessity the work can be done at
any time. Furthermore 1 allege that the
gas company has gas meters in operation
which have never been tested, and conse-
quently cannot be reliable in measurements.
And in cases where the patrons of the gas
system are compelled to pay for gas not
consumed, through such irregularity, ask
the company whether or not plumbers have
not the right to test the meter. ] have had
an experience to-day at No. 315 South
Washington avenue. l desired that the
man whose alleged duty it is to test meters,
to perform test with myself. but he per-
emptorily refused, saying that 1 had no
right whatever to touch the meters. He
conducted the test, and give it as my opin-
ion that it was not competent test In
conclusion l will say that the people of
Minneapolis should be acquainted with the
candle power of the gas they burn.

STRATEGY. ME BOY.
A Little Scheme by which an Elec-
ton by Council Was Delayed.

tiOn by Council was Delayed
After all the expressions of opinion in
council and committee concerning the Of
fee of city purchasing agent, it was a
matter of surprise when the ordinance in
troduced on Wednesday night gave the pro-
posed officer a salary of $1,000 and fixed
the bond at $50, 1000. These figures how
ever, were the outcome of piece of al
legged generalship-a little game which was
played to defeat the will Of the majority.
When the matter of purchasing agent was
discussed in committee it was decided that
thousands of dollars could annually be
saved the city by the selection of good
purchaser; he must be a shrewd, aggressive
man, and should be paid the salary such a
man could command, say 50, 500 or So, 900
per annum. This was generally agreed to,
and upon this understanding Water Com
missioner Tom Andrews began laying the
ropes for election to the office. He worked
the wires nicely, and was put down a
sure winner. Andrews was regarded
! by many councilmen as an distractions
of the first water, with a great
big objective record as alderman from the
East side. so Fred Clark was put into the
field against him, and, with his friends in
good form. went to work. When noses
} were counted il was found Clark had cut
the soil from beneath Andrews feet. and
! had sure majority of votes. The commit
tee, which was in favor of Andrews, real
lied the situation, and was equal to the oc-
casion, and the council was paralyzed when
the ordinance was reported with a salary of
only 81. 900 and bond of $50.000! The
ordinance was read once and went over,
under the rules. When council adjourned
spirited caucus was held in the lobby,
which though informal was decidedly forci-
BILE in its expression. There will be music
in the air pretty soon, and, though nothing
may be done in the meantime, several ora
tors are Strengthening their lungs and per-
fecting their rhetoric against the coming OF
the decisive hour.

The Northwestern Barrel COmPan
Thinks Oys Acted i'm SeIf-Defense

The Northwestern Barrel Company
Thinks Oys Acted i'm SeIf-Defense.
The Northwestern Barrel company had
a meeting on Wednesday and discussed the
killing of Mark Norton by August Oys in
their shops short time ago. Oys will be
tried for murder Jan. 10, and 1t is ex-
pected that the action of the Barrel com
pany will have at least an influence in the
case. In expressing the faith Of the com
pany that Oys acted in self-defense, the
following was unanimously adopted:
lin the passion OF fright and anger, oys
seized the weapon next at hand and in the
act of self-defense, struck the fatal blow.
For about a year and a half Oys has been a
member of our company, and during that
time we have learned 10 know him as young
man OF iuofensive manners and peaceable
nature. Taking the aforementioned facts
into consideration, we express IL as our opin-
ion that, although August Oys was the inn
mediate cause of the death of Mark Norton.
we believe that he is not guilty of murder.

PROBATION AFTER DEATH.

The action of the American Board of Com
missioners of Foreign Missions in regard to
the doctrine of probation is claimed as vic
tory by both sides to the controversy, and it
is not difficult to see that each of them has
substantial ground for its claim. The oppo-
nents of the doctrine secured from the board
the passage of resolution deprecating the
doctrine, approving the action of the pruden-
tial committee in carefully guarding the board
from any committal to a tendency in that
direction, and recommending that the
same caution be exercised in the future.
But the friends of the doctrine, or
more correctly, those who opposed making
it test question, certainly succeeded in
multiplying so much of the resolution as en-
Joined the same caution on the part of the
prudential committee in the future as in the
past, for they took the matter entirely out of
their hands and placed it in the
hands of councils. The prudential COM
mlttee has Just refused to allow mission
airy TO go back under the auspices of the
board because he believed that heather who
had not been given an opportunity to
embrace Christianity in this world would be
given time to repent in the next. If to allow
the missionary to go back would have been a
''committal of the Board to the tendency of
the age to decisive and peryersiye growth
upon the churches at home and abroad of
the doctrine OF probation" Ito quote the lam
guage OF the resolution), then the Board ap-
proved the action of the committee in refus-
ing to sanction his return. But whether or
not the sending him back would haye been a
committal of the Board to such a tendency is
question on which the Board expressed no
opinion, and they took it out of the power of
the committee to express an opinion on this
point in the future, by taking away from it
the decision as to candidates theological
views and committing it to councils of the
