lion Until Tonight.

The committee on streets from the city
council met last evening at the city hall TO
discuss various topics brought to their no
tice. The chairman. Mr.. johnson, called
the meeting to order. and the first business
transacted was the opening Of the bids for
lamp signs throughout the city. There were
seven bids read, but no action taken. the
matter, on motion, being laid upon the
table until the next meeting. A committee of
four from the chamber of commerce were in
attendance and requested the committee not
TO take any action at present in the Dia-
mond 10 warehouse matter. The subject
being brought up, was discussed pro and
con by members of the committee. The
majority favored giving to this comp0ny the
fifty feet asked for TO be used for ware
house purposes. while the minority argued
that the warehouse room as controlled by
the Diamond 10 line was sufficient. if
second story was constructed TO their build
ing. and that if the city decided to this
company the land asked for it would give
to them more than any one company Is
entitled to. and lead to difficulty with other
steamboat companies who may in the fu-
ture organize and ask for space on the
ievee. City Attorney MurTay.read the city
ordinance relating to this matter, aud the

The Wagner Trial.

The trial of John Wagner for shooting
Frank Peters last Fourth of July was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
and about 10 o'clock the jury sent for the
court TO give them further instructions. The
jury got no information different from what
the court had already given it, and returned
again. The defense was not self-defense
as II was expected it would be, but an abso-
Lutte denial of the shooting. The defendant
denied the shooting entirely and positively.
The testimony on the part Of the defense
also showed that the crowd outside made an
unprovoked assault upon the house of the
defendant and broke into IL. broke the win
dows with stones and fired Roman candles
into the house. The jury was out all

Engine No. and place the same If rebuilt in
service by building an addition TO either the
Randolph or Edmund street engine house.
The board of fire commissioners also re-
quest the council TO so amend the building
ordinance as 10 require every building, either
brick. stone or wood of three stories high
erected inside the city limits. TO be provided
with an iron stand pipe. with ladder attach
ments, standard couplings for fire department
service.
The use of the mercurial alarm by every
business house in the city, was strongly
recommended as it often, by its quick work,
enabled the chemicals to extinguish fires
that would become uncomfortable confia-
gratIons if the alarm had been delayed a
few minutes longer.
The board also expressed 1t as their 0pin-
ion that the department should be enlarged
and equipped so as to be able to handle two
such fires as the Ryan drug store flame at
the same time. The recommended addi-
tons to the department will cost from
$50, 900 to SIS, 600.

SHIELDING HEB CHILD.
Mother Gives Her Child Away to
save it From Disgrace.


81 want to give my child away" The
speaker came into the health Office yester-
day afternoon and walking up to the clerk
uttered the above words. She was rather
pretty, possessing a full round face with
pink cheeks, dark hair, pair of laughing
blue eyes and a sweet mouth. She was
well dressed and her neatly fitting clothes
showed off figure that any woman might
have been pleased to possess. She was
hardly more than 20 years old, but the tone
in which she addressed the clerk indicated
that she was determined. In her arms she
carried a small bundle, from one end of
which peeped pair of twinkling eyes and
chubby fist was rubbing against fat little
nose. The Office was full of young men
employed in the building and as they learned
the mission of the woman they cleared their
threats and one by one dropped out through
the door.
$50 you want to get rid of your baby?"
said the clerk, leaning back in his chair and
showing his pencil over his ear.
Eyes, [ do" replied the woman, sinking
into chair, 81 want to give it away
II guess you've struck the wrong place
to donate it," said the clerk. I've got
about as many children as l want. What
do you want to give it away for?"
The little woman's cheeks grew red as
she told the clerk of the cloud of shame
that rested upon her and her child, and
said: II don't want it to live and know
the truth. 1t is but weeks old now and
if it was taken by some one, it would never
know of its mothers sin. And tenderly
kissing the little face that looked laughlngly
up into hers, she hastily brushed tear
from her cheek and looked pleadingIy at
the clerk.
Il don't know of anybody who wants
anything of that kind just now" said the
clerk, but I'll give you a note to the ma
iron of the foundlings' home" And when
the woman took the note she smiled throug h
her tears and went out to give up the child
of her unnatural love.

PROPOSITION TO SHUT UP.


PROPOSITION TO SHUT UP.
Inspector Williams said that men had
lost the art of making brick without straw.
and he did not know how to build school
houses without money. Others might be
able to do that but to him it was lost art.
The time had come, in his opinion, when,
for the want of money, the board must stop.
He therefore offered resolution to the
effect that in consequence of there being no
money in the treasury for the repair Of old
buildings or the construction of new ones
the board suspend making additions to
school buildings or constructing new ones
until there Is money in the treasury for
that purpose Inspector Minor did not like
the idea of the resolution and struggled like
drowning man to find some
way to get the money that
is needed. The law forbids borrowing for
this purpose and makes it misdemeanor
TO divert money from that purpose for
which it has been appropriated to another.
The more Mr.. Minor struggled the less he
found way to dodge the law, and so he
sat down disguised. Inspector Haas IA
vored the resolution because that was all he
could do. Inspector Williams wanted to
have the people know the exact situation.
He called upon Judge Parker, who was
present as the legal adviser of the board, in
place of Mr.. Murray, to explain to them
about the law. That gentleman had not
examined the matter and did not know it
was coming up. Inspector Williams said
there was time in the history of all organ
izations when it was necessary TO
stop whipping the devil around the
stump. We must stop evading the
law. Inspector Simmons wanted Judge
Parker to examine the law which forbids
borrowing money or diverting it from the
purpose for which it was set apart, and to
give his opinion as TO whether the members
of the board would violate the law by Dor
rowing money to erect school buildings.
Mr.. Parker examined the law and decided
that the members would be liable. This
settled the matter. Mr.. Minor hoped the
newspaper men would give this matter
good, wide publication, and convey to the
public the idea that the board of education
of st. Paul has no money with which to
erect school buildings. The resolution was
unanimously adopted and the board adj
journed.

SHAKING UP A CORPSE.
A Runaway Team Plunges Into n
Hearse and Wrecks nc.

An accident occurred on st. Peter street
yesterday afternoon which came near de-
veloping into CHASTITY horror. Last Sum
day Sampson Buss. an inmate of ST. Luke's
hospital, died, and yesterday afternoon his
remains were taken to Oakland cemetery
for burial. The hearse was driven by
Charles Mcknight OF Hills livery stable,
and had reached the head of st. Peter
street and was just turning on to Martin
when a pair of horses attached to
Gehan Bros grocery wagon dashed up the
street at the top of their speed and plunged
into the hearse, overturning it and rolling
the coffin out into the street. One of the
runaway horses struck the pole of the
hearse and was so badly injured that it died
in the street.
The driver of the hearse was thrown
from his seat and suffered a sprained ankle
that was giving him considerable pain last
evening. The hearse was badly wrecked
and the corpse considerably shaken up, but
it was rearranged and taken TO the ceme-
terry in another hearse.

Mr.. Benny's Term WfIi Expire This
Week--IHis Successor.

Henry r. Denny, the present United
States marshal of Minnesota, stated yester-
day that his term of Office would expire on
Saturday of this week. but as yet no APP
pointment had been made. and even il any
one should be appointed now it was doubt
full if he could be confirmed and receive his
commission in time to assume the duties of
the Office next Monday morning. A promi-
nent attorney of st. Paul stated yesterday
that in this event Justice Miller of this
district would have the power to appoint a
person to fill the vacancy caused. to hold
the position until an appointment had been
made ana the same confirmed by the senate.
IF no permanent or temporary appoint
ment is made" said the attorney. Mr..
Denny can conclude and finish all business
brought to him before 2 o'clock Saturday
night, but no new business after that time
can be transacted by him. Under this ar
rangement it will probably leave Minnesota
without United States marshal unless
Chief Justice Miller appoints person to
fill the vacancy" AS TO future plans Mr..
Denny stated that he had not come to any
conclusion, but would in all probability
remain in ST. Paul and engage in business.
