The Trade and Labor Assembly
Investigating the City Engineer.
The Trade and Labor assembly is
not disposed to accept the so-called
"vindicatioa" of City Engineer Rinker,
as to the construction of the North Min
neapolis sewer connecting with the
sewer tunnel on Fifth street north. AT
the meeting of the assembly Friday,
a committee was appointed on
made report to the effect that after
reviewing the engineers report for 1887,
and examining the sewer on Fifth
street, the conclusions are arrived at
that no testimony of dlsintereSted en-
gineers was received by the council
committee, and that no testimony was
received as to the proper shape, size,
friction head, ETC., of the sewer, that
the supports placed in the sewer de-
monStrate that it is unstable and unsafe.
The report goes on to assert that the
timber will produce more friction than
the pressure from the sides of the
tunnel, and is more evidently used
for the purpose of cOncealing the cracks
in the center of the arch than for sup
port. Further, that it is stated by per-
sons competent to judge there is crack
a half an inch wide concealed by a
plank placed fiat Instead OF on edge. 1t
is claimed that the proper form of a
sewer should be height Of five feet,
and should be given greater power of
drainage by reducing the friction and
increasing the head.
Referring to table No. 10 of the engi-
neer's report for 1887, the committee in
f., til, 4
claimed that "S0me one must have got
away with SS,S0l. 43'' for which no eX-
PLANTATION is given. Also that accord
ing to the engineers statement it takes
more to lay foot of sewer pipe than to
build a foot of brick sewer. 1t is
claimed that no mention is made of
either cement or brick in the engineers
report, which is characterized as de-
cidedly unique in this respect, and his
mathematics are said to be grotesque
and misleading.

A REGULAR JARNDYCE.
The Wagner Divorce Cases in
the Legal Windings.

Among the cases on the special term
calender on Saturday was the divorce
case of Amelia Wagner VS.. Frank Wag-
ner. These parties are residents of
Plymouth township and for the last
four years their names have appeared
on the court calender for each term of
court, as either plaintiff or defendant in
a divorce case. First Amelia obtained
q divorce and considerable amount of
alimony, after her case had been tried
several times before juries which were
unable to agree on verdict. The case
was then appealed TO the supreme
court, where the verdict was
set aside and the case remanded back
for new trial. In the meantime, while
this case was pending before the SUI
preme court, Frank Wagner obtained a
divorce in a case which he had begun,
and which, like the case begun by his
wife, was tried several times before a
Jury was found which was able to agree
on a verdict. His case was also ap-
pealed to the supreme court, where the
verdict was sustained. The matter
which was up at special term Saturday
was in regard to the case begun by his
wife, which is still pending in
the district court. When this case
WAS DcSull lll0 CUulG OIutISu Idlth
Wagner to pay her a certain amount per
week as temporary alimony until the
case was settled. Wagner has never
paid this temporary alimony as ordered
by the court and is therefore guilty of
contempt of court. His attorneys now
seek to purge him of contempt and save
him from paying this alimony by plead
ing the decision IN his divorce case, as
sustained by the supreme court, and
which shows that the divorce has been
granted. Amelia Wagner's attor-
ney's, however, claim that as long
as Frank Wagner is in contempt
of court he is barred from filing
any such answer until he
purges himself of the charge OF con-
tempt of court by paying the full
amount of the temporary ahmony as
ordered by the court. Judge Rea came
to the conclusion, after hearing the
matter argued, that he would need
considerable time to investigate the
whole matter before making decision,
and so informed the attorneys that he
would take the matter under advise
ment. The Wagner litigation was be-
gun in 1884 and it looks now as though
1889 would roll around before it will
he settled.

PERTINENT SAYINGS.

Health Officer kilvington on the Lat
est Republican Scheme-There is abso-
lutely nothing in it but a cry of a dis
gruntled candidate for my Office. There
are, as you know, about 100 candidates
for every office in the city, and mine is
no exception. The committee of
the new council appointed to
investigate the health department
looked into the matter well and became
very much interested in the plans of
conducting the department, ETC., and eX-
pressed themselves as well pleased.
The result is that the matter stands Just
where it did. City Attorney Smith gave
his opinion that could hold my office
the full three years, which expires a
year from next April.
Labor Commissioner Lamb, in His
Annual Report-lt will be seen that
large proportion of working girls live at
home. This is great advantage to
girls who are so fortunately situated;
but the benefit i'll this class of girls is
cOunterbalanced by the injury to
that class who are not able to
earn good wages and must bear the
whole expense of their own support.
They are not able to secure good wages
because girls with homes and merely
nominal expenses can work cheaper.
This is deplorable condition of affairs
brought about by extreme competition,
and well worthy of consideration.
Mayor Babb, in His New Policy-As
to the saloons, shall simply insist on
the enforcement of the law as it stands.
Liquor dealers know what the law is,
and | believe will adapt themselves to it
without any trouble if they find that it
will be required of them. Their bust
ness has been legalized, and all have
to do is to see that they stay within the
bounds of the law. My personal views
as to whether or not the selling of in
toXicating beverages is a right and
legitimate business can have nothing to
do with my policy.

A SINGULAR UNION.
A Noted Female Character Weds
a Rich Old Man.


The following communication was re-
ceived at the GLOBE office last evening:
"a notable wedding took place out on
Third avenue south, near Eleventh
street, the first of the week. One of the
oldest sporting women in the city was
united in marriage to an old and re-
spectacle gentleman, formerly of
Mitchell county Iowa. The bridesmaid
was well-known sporting woman of
Minneapolis, and the ceremony was
performed by Minneapolis clergyman.
The bride used to be mistress of the
famous road house at Lake Calhoun
when it was owned and run by Hank
Priest and afterwards by Louis Sid
more. She was afterwards mistress of
wine rooms over III South Washington
when run by George Leonard, and since
then has been roOming at different
places in the city. She is fOrty-siX years
old and her new husband about seventy.
The groom is quite wealthy and the
owner of valuable real estate in Iowa.
lie is respectable beyond question and
innocent Of the trap he has fallen into,
as she has married him for money, no
doubt intending to get all she can out
OF him and then leave him.
INVESTIGATOR"
The main facts in the above were
found to be substantially true, but the
intention of the woman is, of course,
pure surmise. She may have married
him in complete good faith, and it is a
question whether the bridegroom knows
anything OF her antecedentS.

A sad drowning accident, which

yesterday afternoon. Miss Kate And

young brother and Miss Lizzie Damon,
were skating on the lake. Mr.. Ander-
son and his son, becoming tired, sat
down on the bank, and the two
young ladies. each about eighteen
years old, continued to skate. When
they were carelessly spinning along
they suddenly fell into an air-hole,
which they old not seem to have no
ticed. AS quickly as possible a boat
was procured and both girls were taken
from the water. They were both I'M
conscious. but Miss Anderson was
speedily revived. All efforts to resus
citate Miss Damon. however, were
unavailing. in spite of medical aid that
was speedily summoned. Miss Daman
was the daughter of 0. Damon, living
at the corner of Lake street and Cedar
avenue. The Andersons live On Gar

greater bearing on the shutting-dowD
