Milwaukee.
A dispatch from Milwaukee received YES
terday stated that a suit has been instituted
there by the heirs of S. S. Merrill, the late
general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company, against G.
II. Prior, the assistant general superintend-
ent, to compel him to make an accounting
of his business relations with Nh. Merrill.
Mrs. Mary E. Mitchell, Henry Lenox and
other trustees claim $500. 900 is due to the
estate from Mr.. Prior, on the ground that
Merrill was silent partner with Prior in
planting and improving real estate along
the extension of the Milwaukee road in
Minnesota and Dakota. They also assert
that Prior admitted before Merrilfs death
that the latter was jointly associated with
him in the matter on equal terms, and had
from time to time made payments to Mer-
rill on the account. Prior now denies that
Merrill was partner with him. He admits
having purchased land in Dakota but says
that Merrill was not connected in any way
with the purchase as partner.
Mr.. Price is absent on trip over the
l. & d. division of the road and conSe-
Quently has not yet been seen. 1t is under
stood, however, that he will set up gen.
eral denial of the complaint.

terday considered President Lowry's prop
osition to put the street car tracks on Mic
ollet avenue below Washington avenue for
the convenience of the public during the
Exposition. II. G. o. Morrison presented
a lengthy remonstrance from the merchants
along the proposed line and G. 81. Benton
presented another from citizens who have
to use Nicollet as drive between the East
and West sides. and claiming that Nicollet
was now the only available avenue for
other vehicles than street cars. MIR. Lowry
replied that he believed the Nicollet avenue
track would be public convenience. but
that he would be satisfied with the right to
lay extra tracks on University avenue,
First avenue southeast and Fourth street
southeast for Exposition uses. The COM
mittee decided to re port against the Nicol-
let avenue privilege and in favor of the
other.

A PECULIAR CASE.
A Piece of Metal IN Boys Foot for
Year.

DR.. A. A. Ames yesterday cut from the
right foot of Charles Pomeroy, residence at
1888 Sixteenth avenue south, piece of an
oil can tube one and one-half inches in
length. The lad is doing WE'LL and in
short time will show no traces of
the injury. The case is a somewhat
peculiar one, and has puzzled some Of
the best surgeons in Minnesota A year
ago, when the boy was about ten years old,
he lived on farm in the southern part of
the state. One day, in jumping from hay
stack, he struck directly upon the tube of
large oil can, which had been used for oil
ing machinery. The tube was quite sharp
and penetrated the foot to the depth of
nearly two inches. The surgeon who
first dressed the wound examined it
very carefully, and insisted that there
was no portion of the tube remaining in the
foot. Other surgeons said the same thing.
and said that if there was lockiaw it would
soon set in. The wound finally healed, but
Charles experienced considerable pain, and
more than once said he could feel the metal
His parents yesterday decided to have an
other examination, and it resulted as stated.

terday doing little missionary work. He is
too good q lawyer to iniure his case by talk
ing too freely, and the tips he had to
give out to reporters concerning state
politics were not of sensational char
acter. He didn't know whether Knute

wise that the wheat crop stood well. The
only point he committed himself upon fully

READY FOR INVASION.
The Salvation Army Following the
Course of Empire.


Course of Empire.
Following the course of empire, the adj
vance guard of the Salvation army has at
length reached Minneapolis, in the person
OF Capt. Evans. Only the line officers and
few inspirational privates travel, the rank
and file being made of local proselytes. Three
or four ''halleluj ali lasses" usually are i'm
ported, though sometimes the captain is
woman. For four years the army has
blessed or cursed Eastern cities, as the case
may be, and now makes its first appearance
i'll Minneapolis, too old and well-known to
be in the least sensational. Capt. Evans
waited on Col. Chase yesterday morning,
and, after catechizing the burly officer
somewhat, received permission to bring the
army upon the sacred soil of Minneapolis.
He will begin his meetings next Sunday
evening in Market hall, continuing nightly
for several weeks.
1t is the custom of the army to meet at
some public spot in the open air and gather
a crowd by religious services. Then. with
drums beating and tambourines humping,
march to the hall and hold eXOrtations.
Scenes in the hall resemble ordinary camp
meetings, usually far exceeding them i'll
noisy demonstration and loud outburstS of
religious frenzy. Inc army IS conSplcu-
ously uniformed, red and blue being the
prevailing colors. The men wear red shirts
and blue coats and trousers and the women
full blue suits. All wear badges, denoting
their rank. On the caps is the motto: Pre-
pare to meet your God" while special Off
GERS are specially arrayed. 1t very fire.
quently happens the army is arrested. those
occasions being perfect jubilees, on the
ground of persecution for righteousness
sake. In those cities where the army plan
has had full trial, opinions of its merit have
differed, though condemnation is more
con- mon than commentator.

1t is thought that the steel-arch bridge
problem is at last in fair way to be solved.
The approaching exposition has convinced
certain opponents that the need of better
bridge facilities is imperative and they have
withdrawn their objections. The mill COM
pany has also consented to steel-arch
bridge and will allow one pier to be placed
in the river. A conference will be held by
the mayor and city attorney and the propo-
stion to adopt steel-arch bridge will be
submitted to the council, and when the
legislature meets the bill providing funds
for stone-arch bridge will be amended by
the substitution of the word steel for stone.
