KNIGHTS or THE GRIP.
The Benefits OT the Travellers, Pro-
IecIiVe Association Exclaimed.

IecI1Ve Association explained.
About fifty commercial travellers met last
evening at the West hotel to listen to an
address by Dawson Mayer of New York,
second vice president of the Travellers Pro-
tective Association Of the United States.
upon the benefits accruing to members of
the organization. Mr.. Mayer spoke for
over an hour in a very entertaining manner,
illustrating his points by anecdotes from his
personal experiences as Knight of the
grip" He explained that he does not get
cent from the association for his work,
but is simply missionary for the modest
organization on Gods green earth" and
II he succeeds in alternating some of
the hardshps of the commercial
travellers life that he will feel
amply repaid for his efforts. He
gave a short history and account of the
growth of the association, which was or
ganized in 1882, and already has a member
ship of $500, representing every branch of
the mercantile world. 1t is entirely sep
arate from the insurance feature. and has
for its prime motives the securing OF lower
rates of transportation over the railroads;
the securing of excess baggage allowances;
the agitation of the removal of obnoxious
license restrictions in certain states where
they exist; to obtain proper treatment in
regard to equitable commercial rates at
hotels, etc.
Mr.. Mayer pointed TO the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers as an example of
what can be accomplished by banding to-
gether for mutual advantage and mentioned
some of the benefits observation-disclosures
the efforts of the association. In some of
the states where license from 81 to s. per
day has been imposed upon commercial
travellers the unjust measure has been re-
voked. and bill has been presented TO con-
gress which will remove the system alto
gether. The railroads will in time uni
formly issue week end' tickets that will
enable travelling men to return home for
Sunday with their families at less than half
rates. Theatrical companies are allowed
special rates with the privilege of carrying
400 pounds of baggage and travelling men
should have a similar recognition. Already
concessions have been made by some of the
leading roads in this direction.
George f. Corbiere of the New York
division Of the association followed Mr..
Mayer, combining his remarks chiefly to the
license system in certain Southern cities
and states. which he claimed has worked
no little injury to trade. AS the result Of
the meeting, eleven new members were
obtained and assurances of nine more. At
the close a resolution of thanks was ten
dered Manager Shepherd of the West for
the use of the room where the meeting was
held.

That Slaughter House.

The ordinance prohibiting the mainte.
nance and operation of slaughter house in
the city limits, has been a subject which
has given the council considerable trouble
lately. Charles Witt has a large slaughter
house on Bassett's creek. and citizens petit
toned the council to have it removed as a
public nuisance. Mr.. Witt protested that
it was not nuisance and asked the per-
mission To establish new patent system of
conducting a slaughter house, generally in
vogue in large Eastern cities. The enter
prise will involve large expenditure. Yes
terday the council committee on health and
hospitals had the matter under adviSement
and the result was TO recommend that the
prayer of Mr.. Witt be granted, and that he
be allowed to prosecute his business under
the direction of the health officer.

POINTS A MORAL.
A Nights Spree Which Sends Two
Men To the PeniIenIiary.


The trial of Nathaniel Gordon and Phil
lip Dwyer for the larceny of $50 from the
person of Charles Woodruff yesterday,
wound up the criminal calendar in the dis
trict court. Both are young men who came
to Minneapolis from jamestown, Oak,
about two years ago. Gordon used to be a
bartender at the Pavilion saloon on Wash
ingtOn avenue. and lately has been running
a saloon at the corner of Second avenue and
Second street sOnth. Dwyer has been EN-
gagged in contracting for certain railroad
work. The evidence in the case showed
that on the evening of Dec. Is, Woodruff,
the complaining witness, who was well ac-
quainted with the defendants, dropped into
Goroon's place, and the three after imbbing
considerable liquor, started out to have
time. Woodruff testified that they went to
First street south, and that is as far as his
recollection serves him, and all he knew
was that he woke up in the city lookup
the next morning minus 500. Jennie Dixon,
prOprietress of the establishment at 234
First street, testified that she saw
the two men going through Wood
rufus pockets on her steps, and
that Gordon came in and counted the money
over in the wine room. Detective Quinlan
testified to finding Gordon in bed the next
morning at a similar house a few doors off.
He at first denied any knowledge of the
money, but finally produced $50. saying he
had taken it to keep for Woodruff. Dwyer
was arrested at Gordon's saloon and had
$50, and owned up to spending SO more.
He made the same explanation. The de-
Tense was that Woodruff had asked the de-
PENDANTS to accompany him, saying he had
plenty of money: that he afterward became
so badly intoxicated that they took the
money from him and placed him in shed
to sleep. where he was afterwards found by
Special Hurley.
The jury after being out two hours re-
turned verdict of guilty, but recommended
mercy Mr.. Merrick. attorney for the de-
PENDANTS spoke in their behalf briefly,
saying that Dwyer had formerly been chief
of police at jamestown, and that he re-
ceived letter signed by leading business
men testifying to his good character.
Gordon he did not know much about. but
had never had anything against him. The
alleged crime had been committed when
the entire party was intoxicated, and the
case seemed badly mixed up.
Judge Koon did not seem inclined to heed
the jury's recommendation. He remarked
that he thought the verdict was justified by
the evidence. Nevertheless, he would nit
lgate the sentence somewhat, and ordered
Gordon to serve eighteen months and
Dwyer fifteen months in the penitentiary.

DISTRICT COURT NUTS.
A Damage Suit .WindiHs
Up the Term.

Up the Term.
The suit of Carrie Kelley VS.. the Chicago,
st. Paul & Omaha Railway Company to
recover $4,000 damages for the death of
her husband came up for trial in Judge
Young's court yesterday, the action being
the sequel of sad accident that occurred
in the Omaha yards last February. Will
lam r. Kelley, brakeman, was climbing
on a car that had been kicked" off on a
side track and allowed to run to a certain
point by its own momentum. In so doing
he took hold of the brake-rod, which gave
way and allowed him to fall under the
wheels which passed over his body. killing
him almost instantly. The plaintiff. as
Administrative of her husbands estate.
claimed negligence on the part of the COM
pany in failing to provide proper and safe
brake-rod. The defense was that the car
had been side tracked for repairs. and that
Kelley climbed upon it at his own risk.
When the plaintiff rested a motion for dis
missal was argued and granted.
Judge Lochren was yesterday occupied
in hearing the arguments in the action
brought by the Bradner Smith Paper COM
pany VS.. the Minnesota and Bradner Smith
Paper company to enjoin the latter from
using ''Bradner Smith" in their corporate
name. The judge reserved his decision.
INTERESTING TO cooPERs.
The suit of John D. Smith VS.. the Hen
nepn Barrel company before Judge Loeb

the question as to whether company may
be forced to transfer stock to a party 10

THE MASONIC TEMPLE
Open TO Competition Among Archi-
fecIs..The ldeas formulated.

The Masonic Temple association met yes
terday afternoon at the Office of DR.. S. S.
Kilvington and discussed plans for the new
building. The building committee has
thrown the work open TO competition. and
will receive plans until Feb. 10. when a
choice will be made. For the benefit of the
board, and to freely communicate IDEAS the
building committee employed Architect
Dennis to make preliminary plans, but
these were in no sense offered as permanent
plans. The directors, desiring to erect a
building for all time, laid off just what
space was necessary for Masonic purposes
and the idea is now to so dispose the re-
mainder of the space as to bring the great
est revenue. The building will cover the
entire ground, will be of stone six stories
In height. and will cost in the neighborhOod
of $3.50. 900. but more than that has not
been decided upon. so that capitalists have
free rein to their tastes and ideas. In the
meantime subscriptions are rapidly coming
In, and most of the stock is taken. although
no effort has been made to push it, and no
suggestions heard as to throwing open the
books to investors outside of the fraternity.
The first call has been made. and the site
at the corner of Sixth street and Hennepin
avenue fully paid for. The Masons are
certain of not only handsome and credita-
BILE temple, but of a lucrative investment.

Experiment is not difficult Another rea-

An Old Lnnd Mark.

There is a dispute concerning the old
steamboat landing on the river bank, near
the Heinrich brewery. The proprietors Of
the brewery have had the nse Of the build
ing for many years. the rental being the
nominal sum of $50 per annum. For four
years no bill has been presented until re-
Gently. The brewing company claimed
that inasmuch as they had repaired the
warehouse and prevented it from meeting
with total destruction from high water and
ice, the city should make a concession of
one-half the amount. AT yesterdays
meeting of the council committee on public
grounds and buildings. it was decided TO
recommend on Wednesday night that the
full amount of the rent be collected.
