SLAUGHTER HOUSES STAY.
The Supreme Court Reverses the
Lower Courts Decision on
the Seventh Ward Slaughter
HOuSps


Lower Courts Decision on
the Seventh Ward Slaughter
Houses.
The somewhat celebrated slaughter
house cases were decided by the SUI
preme court yesterday in way that
will certainly not suit the residents of
the Seventh ward. Ordinance GA of the
old charter regulated the matter of re-
moving slaughter houses. and according
to this ordinance the proceedings were
begun in these cases. All this would
have been well had not the legislature
of 1887 passed special law-chapter 80
which neutraliZeS ordinance "a. The
court declares that ninety days notice
must be given to man having q Slaugh-
ter house in the Seventh ward, as we'll
as the amount he will suffer by such
removal, and as neither of these two
conditions was carried ont in these
cases, the decision is reversed.
The syllabus in the case is as follows:
The City of st. Paul, respondent, VS..
James A. Byrnes, appellant: Same

ST. PAUL'S AMATEURS.
Second Musical Effort by the st.
Paul Amateur Association.

Second Musical Effort by the st.
Paul Amateur Association.
The second musical effort by the st.
Paul amateur orchestra afforded an
evening of pleasant entertainment to
an audience of fair proportions i'll
Turner hail last night. The pro-
gramme opened with the overture to
Suppe'S Franz Schubert. Rev. Dr..
Grodsky sang as solo, Brookway'S
'My Hearts Best Love-" He has
good bass voice, and the audience
showed its appreciation by recalling
him. AS an encore he sang AlollOy'S
"Nagabond." But the gem of the even
ing was Prof. Will's violin solo, Alard's
Faust fantaSie being selected. Prof.
win is already well enough known.
He was loudly called for, but did not re-
spOnd owing to the length of the pro-
gramme. Reissiger's "Miti on the
Cliff" and Flotow'S "Stradella" were
fairly rendered by the orchestra. Mrs.
George James delighted the audience
with her fine contralto in the song,
Angus Macdonald" for which she
was enthusiastically encored. Mr..
James'S flute solo. Tershak's LA Ba-
BILLIARD" was well received. The waltz,
Gungrsss''Venus Reigen." by the OF
cheStra. closed the entertainment.

THE sELBY AVENUE GRADE.
tee Discuss in Secret Session the
Question of a Tunnel.

Question of a Tunnel.
The committee appointed by the
chamber of commerce to consider the
adyiSability of tunnelIng under Summit
avenue by the cable line, and also to in
vestigate whether the grade of Selby
avenue hill and the curve at the foot of
the grade are dangerous to life and
property, met yesterday afternoon in
the office of City Engineer Rundlett to
examine the profile of the survey made
by him. The committee consisted of
Chairman ID. ID. Merrill, Thomas
Cochran, Jr., Z. S. Norton,
J.. W. Rundlett and r. B. Wheeler.
Engineer Rundlett exhibited his profile
and explained what the effect of the cut
would be. Engineer Wise, of Kansas
City, was present and testified as to the
workings of the line on grades and
curves there. He said that while they
had had several accidents on the road,
they had not occurred in those particu-
larly dangerous spots where heavy
grades and curves exist.
Col. Barr was present for the cable
company, but would not tell anything
of the cOmpany's position with regard
TO the subject. The main question con-
Sidered by the committee was whether
the safety the citizens would get would
be worth the money the tunnel would
cost.
1t was decided TO make up report
during the week and submit it to the
chamber of commerce at its meeting
Monday next.
A GLOBE reporter called on several
of the committeeman last evening, but
they refused to say ANYTHING
lxa1
it," said Chairman ID. ID. Merrill, until
the report is submitted"
The meeting in the afternoon was a
secret one.

PUTTING ON THE ENGLISH.

Because man puts ON the Eng
lish, it doesn't make him all English
man, by any means; people sOOntell
the difference between the imitation
and the genuine. Our customers
know that when they buy any Cloth
ing here that they are getting the
genuine; no imitation or shOddy.
and the best Of it all is that our
prices are always lower than the
imitation and inferior goods are
sold for elsewhere. But what shall
we say now when we are having our
Bath Semi-Annual Red Figure Sale,
and prices are marked way, way
down? From 50 to SO reduction OIL
all our remaining stock OF Winter
Suits, 0yercOats, Storm listers,
Boys Clothing, etc. It's no wonder
we are so busy, and that from the
quantities of goods we are selling
one would think it was the middle of
the busy season, instead of ii being
the middle of what should be the
dull season." No better time than
now to purchase reliable Winter
Clothing for about actual cost to
manufacture. 0ut-0f-TOWn orders
filled promptly at Red FigurepriceS.

The Lone Widow and the Burglar

The Lone Widow and the Burglar.
Detroit Free Press.
: A burglar got into the house of frail-
looking, sad-eyed little widow in Tucson
the other night. Not finding any valu-
cables down stairs, he steathiiy assembled
. to the second floor and entered the room
where the sleeping and unsuspecting
woman lay with a smile that told of
pleasant dreams on her lips.
Roughly shaking her, the daStardly
intruder said, gruffly:
Ii "Here, wake up; now just keep cool;
no use yelling; know as we'll as you do
that you're alone in the house; just
hand over the keys to-here, stop that!
let go! help! murder! helpi help!
,O-o-o-h! O-o-0-h!
/, When the police finally got there they
found the burglar done mp with
clothes line as neatly as a grocer does
opening his eyes in the ''coming to'
process; when they rested on the little
widow they took on beseeching look
as he Shiyered and gasped out:
Don't leave me alone with her again,
gentlemen; please don't. Eve killed
Rocky mountain lions and the bears
with young cubs, and tackled two hy-
enas at time, but this is my first eX-
perience with lone Arizony widder.
Can't you loosen those ropes little and
see how many OF my ribs is broke, and
roll me over SOS l can keep from swat-
lowing the teeth she's knocked out; and
I'd like poultice on my eye soon as
possible, and | need sewing up In a
dozen places. I'm feered Ill never pull
through this, gentlemen"

UNION OF THE TWINS.
The Scope of the Committee on
Twin City Union.


Twin City Union.
primarily the object of the appoint
ment of the committee by the chamber
OF commerce of st. Paul to consult with
a similar body from the Minneapolis
board Of trade" said Judge Charles E.
Flandrau, was with view to having
the two cities pool their issues
in. business and prevent dis
examinations against them both i'm
the interest of Chicago. As matters
now stand, with the exception of our
local railroad companies, such as Mr.
Hill's. all the connections made to the
south and east of us are for the pur-
pose of diverting trade that should
come to us into Chicago trade channels.
There should be no controversy be-
tween the Twin Cities on this question
of transportation rates, as their inter-
ests are identical, and what benefits one
cannot help but inure to the advantage
of the other. And it is high
time that this fact should be
appreciated at its full value
if we expect to accomplish anything in
the future. Here are two cities whose
combined population foots up 10000
souls. separated by few miles, who
should be working industriOusly and
perSistently, not only to keep their own
trade, but to induce other portions of
the Northwest to come to them, instead
of going by roundabout way to Chi
cago, and being compelled to pay more
for materials than they can be furnished
for at their very doors, as is now the
condition of affairs"
$50 far as the consolidation Of the
two cities under one form of municipal
government is concerned, that is of Sec
Ondary importance, and our chambers
OF commerce or other business bodies
should devote their energies to securing
a schedule of transportation rates that
would enable them to prove formidable
competitors with Chicago. Ii is time
that local chickering's and disputes
should cease, and that the great object.
larger and greater business facilities,
should be attended to, and after that
we can talk of consolidation. which. Inv

HOLD YOUR HORSES
When You Drive Over the WaOa-

Rundlett Says 1t May Go Down,

YES. L consider the WabaSha street
bridge very unsafe" said City Engineer
Rundlett TO a GLOBE reporter last
night. Il do not wish to create
any furore but the people
should know such things at once, i'll ac-

an ounce of prevention, etc. The bad
condition of this bridge was embodied

ing new. 1t is liable to drop
at any time. [ hate to think of it.
Any sudden shock, such as
runaway. or the rapid pass
sage of the fire department across the
bridge. may precipitate disaster. A
large crowd on the bridge, collision or
fast driving are all very dangerous and
should he prohibited by all means.
Trotting is allowed on the Robert street
bridge, and many people trot their
horses over this one. 1t makes me
faint To think what an awful disaster it
would be. for that bridge to fall with tlf-
teen or twenty people on it.
Il am frightened more about the
weakness of the connections than any
thing else. You see the bridge has
stood great strain for twelve years. L
cannot tell just how weak it is, for no

HAS BEEN STRAINED.
II understand that patrOlmen have
been stationed at various points on the
bridge to prevent fast driving and any
crOwding, or anything that would have
a tendency TO shake it unnecessarily.
The mayor has been wise to take this
precautiOn. l am now at work on
plans for the new bridge, but we cannot
possibly finish it before the month OF
July. The iron cannot be gotten here
and everything done in day. The
building of this new bridge will not
necessarily throw the bulk of travel
TO the Robert street bridge. as we
can get all the false work
built before touching those parts that
would block travel. The bridge is not
up to present requirements. We do not
know what its capacity is, nor do we
care to test it. The new one will be as
strong as the Robert street bridge, but
not as wide. OF course the West
side people want it as wide, but we can
not stop to build it as they wish. All
due precautions will be taken to pre-
vent any disaster, but the public must
aid the officers by being careful and by
bearing in mind that the present bridge
can not stand everything. In this way
they not only look out for their own
personal safety, but the safety of others.
As L said before, do not wish to create
any excitement or scare, but wish to
lock the stable door before the nag is
stolen"
