Trouble About a Building Which
Stands in the street.
Validity OF an Old Claim--Notes
About Town.
Itstands in the Street.

At meeting of the city council some weeks
ago Aid. ). Conrad offered resolution
authorizing &c removal of the large frame
building at the foot of Myrtle street, now Oc-
cupied "a wheat market, upon the grounds
that II was standing on the street contrary TO
the ordinance governing street distractions.
There was considerable debate on the resOlu-
ton. IL was not voted upon AMI was re-
terred TO committee consisting OF Aid
Burke, chairman, ana AID. Conrad and Bor-
rowman. This committee, together with
City Attorney q. p. Gregory, met at the city
hall yesterday TO Investigate the matter. The
committee will probably report ut the next
meeting of council on March ,.
The city council some time ago voted the
saltwater Transfer company the privilege of
the site in couJuncJure with the Duluth. Mil
waukee and Omaha companies 20 build them
a union depot, and TO allow these roads room
for switch tracks. The building over which
the controversy has arisen was erected for
the purpose of holding the site. The scheme
was unsuccessful, ana the owner has re-
ceived rent therefrom ever since il was put
up. As tho council voted the right of the
use OF the ground for the purpose Of erecting
depot and the privilege of transactng
thereon railroad business and other business.
il Is claimed that the Transfer company will
term the storage of lime ''other business
and thereby hold the ground. The question
Is complicated one. and will probably be-
come fully as prominent as the celebrated
Union alley controversy.

Speclal 20 the CTlODe-
CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-The glove contest at
the Park theater this evening for the usual
purse of 500. between James Feeley of
Chicago and Hugh Allen of Detroit was
entirely different affair from that wit
messed at the same place a week ago. Both
men were in good condition and il was a
fight from the word time" Manager
King acted as referee and William Lake
man as timekeepeT. In the first half of the
first round both men spared cautiously foran
opening. Feeley led with his left. landing on
Aliens optic, completely closing it and
knocking him down. Allen recovered him
self and did some very hard RIB roasting
upon Feeley until time was called. In the
second round one or two light exchanges
were had, doing little or no damage. until
Feeley, who had up TO this time held his
right IN position, As if it was glued there,
let 1t fly, catching Allen under the chin,
completely knocking him out. This was
one OF the most savage twO-rOund battles
ever had in Chicago, and as clean knock
OUT as IS usually witnessed anywhere. The
house was packed from the fOOtlights To

The sIashiug Goes MerriIy On.

NEW YORK. Feb. s6.-The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe has reduced frst-class
limited tickets, New York to San Francisco.
10 $50. There are many rumors of cuts in
freight rates, but. as large shippers are
given private rates, it is difficult To verify
them. Mr.. c. p. Huntington says he is
opposed to cutting rates. but that. if the
seaboard trunk lines pro rate with the cut
rates on transcontinental business. he will
be compelled to meet the cut by way of the
Chesapeake 81 Ohio. and adds: Il intend
TO protect my customers, and will see that
they get the lowest rates made"

way antagonize, and are yet mutually
dependent on each other. it is much better
that they come together and discuss mat
tiers in friendly spirit, and come TO such
agreements as will result to their mutual
benefit. The example set by lie Sueur in
this respect IS worthy the imitation of
other towns and cities.
