THE PATROL LIMITS.
Republican COuncilmen Hold a Sc
cret Caucus.

Yesterday afternoon the Republican
members walked leisurely into the city hall,
one at time, and took the elevator for the
third floor. The sang froid air they main
tanned was evidently for the purpose of
preventing any suspicion to be aroused con-
cerning their mission. They went into the
committee roo. and locked the doors.
Something was certainly in the wind and
reporter laid 70. the aldermen. 1t was
finally ascertained that caucaS was in
progress. and that the proposed amendment
to the liquor ordinance concerning the
active patrol limits was under considera-
ton. 1t has come to pass that every time
the liquor question is to be touched upon,
the Republican aldermen feit in duty
bound to make up slate. They made up
one on the dead line, but they wont tell
what it is. Yet is fair to presume that a
large majority of that wing of the council
is in favor of the present ordinance as it
stands despite the expression of the people
at the polls in April. Aid. Lawrence,
Clark, johnson and Downs are the cham
piOns of the course, while Aid. Pratt and
Swensen fall i'll with the movement. The
others are not so pronounced in their posi-
ton. Aid. Sly, Fleetham, Barrows,
Hougan, Swensen and Phelps are inclined
to favor more liberal measure. This is
particularly the case with MeSsrs. Fleet
ham, Barrows and Haugan. The latter's
ideas upon such matters were materially
revolutioniZed during his visit to Europe

The SaiOonkeepers and the Boycott
Against Aid. Babb.
The boycott has struck the Cedar Lake
Ice company amidship, and Aid. Babb, the
proprietor, says it will injure him about
$4,000 a year. The boycott has been I'M
oStentatious and quiet, and has been
conducted by the saloonkeeperS. Not as
body. but as individuals. They had reason,
it is alleged. to believe that Aid. Babb
would vote i'll the city council for lower
liquor license and it was understood that
the alderman was opposed, on general
principles, to the So-called dead line"
ordinance. Respecting the latter measure,
no action has yet been taken by the council,
but on the amendment to reduce the license
Aid Babb voted no. Although there is
every indication that Aid. Babb will vote
either to abolish or to radically amend the
dead line, the SaloonkeeperS were so dis
pleased at his course in regard to the license
that they have withdrawn their patronage
from the Cedar Lake Ice company, and the
SalOonkeeperS are the most extensive patrons
the ice company has. Consequently the
damaging effect to Aid. Babb'S business.
Yesterday the report became current on the
streets that the Republicans who favor the
high-licenSe system and who aided and
abetted its adoption, are to make good all
deficiencies in Aid. Babb's receipts growing
out of the boycott, and this report has led
to insinuations against the integrity of the
alderman from the Eighth ward. 1t is
whispered that he knew when he voted on
the amendment how matters were to be
shaped. and governed his action accordingly.
On the other hand. his friends refute the
charge with the argument that Aid. Babb
cannot be influenced to vote for or against
any measure by financial consideration.
But elimination and recrimination seems to
be the order of things lust now

on 4 tie vote. Commissioner Fornham then
changed his vote and it was carried.
the standing committee on extensions re-
ported back the matter of the petition of
IL. G. Vaughn, and recommended that it
be referred to the department.. 1t was
voted that SiX-inch pipe be laid i'll Sec
ond avenue south, from Sixteenth to Sew
enth streets, and SiX-inch pipe in Six
teeuth avenue south, eight-nch pipe on
Nicollet Island, siX-inch pipe in Twenty
fourth street, from Eighth avenue south to
Einth avenue south; twelve-inch main i'll
Hennepin avenue, from Central park
to Lake street; eight-inch pipe in
NicOllet avenue, from Lake street
to Thirty-second street; the petition OF
Anthony Kelly for q service pipe was
granted; plumbers licenses were granted
to Frank c. Ames, Stewart & johnson and
S. G.. Matthews. The committee on
claims and accounts reported in favor of
not granting the prayer of Isaac Fawcett
for a rebate. The superintendent
was instructed to draw a warrant
for S15.S5 in favor of Miss
A. l.. Farr upon her paying the water rent
for the present year, the same being re-
bate. The superintendent was authorized
to draw warrant IN favor of Strutham
Bros. for S145, the balance on the contract
for building pump No. B. The engineer re-
ported an estimate of work done on the
Island tunnel making total of $1,O79,
and balance now due the contractor of
S166.97, and an order for the amount was
ordered drawn in favor of Contractor
Dablgreen. Commissioner FoOte brought
up the question of the Nicollet house block
water rate. He stated that several years
ago the rate had been fixed at $500 per an
mum. Last fall a resolution was passed by
the board requiring the superintendent to
collect from the stores in the block, and the
superintendent has found it impossible to
make the collection without making new
connections, and. therefore, Mr.. Foote
moved that a meter be placed in the block.
and that the superintendent collect
for the actual water consumed
by ths block from May 1.
1t was explained that the stores and buSi-
ness houses in the Nicollet house block have
paid no tax for three years. Commissioner
Andrews thought it meet that the Superin-
tendent be first instructed not to receive
water rents from the block until the COM
mittee on extensions had made an inveSti-
CATION. He wanted to know what the eX-
pense of putting in a meter will be, and he
favored the plan Of trying to arrive at a
settlement in some other way. The super
intendent stated that the house has six or
eight connections and that it is very diff
cult matter to inspect it. After lengthy
discussion the motion prevailed. The pres
ident requested that the superintendent ap-
prise W. III. Davis of the city attorneys
opinion. Adjourned one week,

W.. E. Austin. Wanted i'm Mipne-
IpoIis, Known To be in New York.


About three weeks ago a well dressed
young man registered at the West hotel as
w. E. Austin, Troy, n. Y. He spent his
money freely and was quite a favorite.
When his money ran out he drew a check
on the Chemical bank of Troy for 500,
signed by Bernstein & Spies. 1t was
readily cashed by the cashier. The check,
when presented at Troy, was refused, as it
was forgery, and returned here. The
matter was placed in Detective Hoy's hands
and he succeeded in locating his man in
New York and telegraphed at once to In
spector Byrnes to place him under arrest
Detective Hoy traced Austin to ST. Paul
and found that he had forged a check Oh
the same firm at the Merchants for S1O0;
also one at the Windsor for SIG. He has
also worked the leading hotels between
here and Chicago, the heaviest loser being
the Grand Pacific in the latter city.

was travelling man and had for several
years put in a frequent appearance in st.

quite smooth and affable and was
of an Eastern gents furnishing
goods concern. On April 10 he came into
the Merchants hotel, registered and asked
for his mail. He received a letter, which
he Immediately opened, taking therefrom a
check for 500, signed by Bernstein & Spies,
of Chicago, which he requested Ehle to
cash, showing at the same time the letter,
which requested him to find the inclosed
draft. and congratulated him on his Sue
cessful business. The check was caShed.
and not until payment was protested did it
appear that the check was forgery. Steps
were Immediately taken to get hold of him,
but the GLOBE reporter last evening gave
the first information of his whereabouts to
his st. Paul victim. 1t is possible that st.
Paul firms with whom he has had dealings
have also been victimiZed.
