HEN is STILL HAPPY.
Without a Quorum the Police
Commission Transacts Business.

There was the usual "bobtail'' quo
rum present at the meeting Of the
board of police commissioners yester-
day afternoon. Mayor Ames and Com
missioner Hay were absent as usual,
but Notwithstanding this considerable
business was done. There was quite
discussion over report that one OF
more prisoners had been released from
the city lookup by order of persons not
having the proper authority. The fol-
lowing resolution was finally passed:
Resolved. That the superintendent of po-
lice be and he is hereby notified TO allow no
person to be released from the city lookup.
except for trial in the municipal or district
courts, or by written direction from judge
of said courts; and that no person be re-
leased from any precinct station, except for
trial. or ON the order of such judge. or for
transfer to the central police station.
A lady signing herself "Humanicus"
sent in letter calling the attention of
the commission to the fact that there
was to be a dog fight Thanksgiving, and
asking, ''in the name of society,"" that
such brutality be stopped. The letter
was referred to the superintendent OF
police and the city attorney.
The bill of Patrolmen Void and Pow
erS of S64, money spent in defending
themselves in suit for false imprison-
memt, brought by two persons who were
arrested, was allowed.
Supt. Helm sent in letter stating
that he had suspended Patrolman John
Sullivan for being absent without per-
mission and Patrolman John Olson for
having been drunk while on duty. The
matter was referred to the committee
on appointments and discipline.
Police Clerk Merton and PatrOlman
Thomas Collins were granted leaves of
absence, and Charles Johnson and
James Town sent in applications for ap-
pOintments on the force.
Owing to the absence of Mayor Ames
and Commissioner How the question of
making any changes in the force did
not come up. Supt. Helm does not seem
to feel at all nervous over the report
that he is to be removed, and declares
that if such thing does take place he
will not complain.
1t is extremely probable that after
Mayor Babb becomes member of the
commission the sessions will be open.
1t is known that some of the commits
sioners are now advocating such plan.

FOR THOSE WHO SORROW.
An Appeal From Bethany Homo
Through Mrs, Van Cleye.

InrOuSn Mrs. van SIeVe.
The near approach of Thanksgiving
and Christmas is warming the hearts of
the benevolent people of our city, who
are planning to make glad the hearts of
the poor and wretched by gifts of food,
clothing and comforts of various kinds.
But there is class of needy ones who
have no homes, no dear ones; nothing
rows and self-upbraiding for sin and
its dire consequences. A large number
of women of this class have been gath
cred under the widespread sheltering
wings of Bethany Home" and those
who are helping them up out of their
low estate, and trying to fit them to
take up what is left to them Of life and
become good, useful women, have had
the hardest year in their history of more
than fourteen years, and are sadly
straitened for means to carry on their
work. We ask you not to pass us by in
the distribution Of your annual chart
ties. If you could look in upon our
''Home," see the sad faces of our girls,
hear their heart-broken sobS when the
memory of their innocent childhood is
awakened by illusions to the happy
family gatherings and joyous times to
which so many are looking forward,
your heart would throb with pity for
them. And should you visit our nurs-
sery, where are nearly forty babies,
who, through no fault of their own, are
branded illegitimate, but who are as
bright and loving rs your own little
ones. you surely could not look upon
them with indifference. Can you not
remember these unfortunate women
and innocent children? DO they not be-
long on that list OF whom Christ said:
''Inasmuch as ye did IL unto The least Of
these, ye did it unto Me?"

II Is TRUE.
Downing. the Tragedian, to Be
Welded at Minneapolis.

w cuuS01 dC InlnnedpOtlS.
Robert Downing, the tragedian, will
be welded in this city to Miss Eugene
Blair. the leading juvenile lady of his
company. Some rather annoying gossip
has been circulated concerning the
event, growing out of the purported
contradiction of the announcement Of
Miss Blair. The Star last evening, in
DoWning's manager, which appears to
be entirely unwarranted and in exceed
ing bad taste in this connection, went so
far as TO coolly state that the contem-
plated marriage was probably an adj
vertising dodge. On the contrary,
it is now authoratively given out
that the wedding is to take place as
announced. Mrs. Mack, who has come
on to Minneapolis especially to be
present on the occasion, and Mr.. Mack
will officiate as the attendants of the
bridal couple. Mrs. Ella Wren, the
well-known actress, who is the mother
OF the bride, is also to be present. The
ceremony will be performed by an
Episcopal clergyman, and will occur, it
is likely, at the West hotel. Only a
few intimate friends will be present,
and the event will be very quietly cele-
brated.
The match is entirely a love affair,
and quite romantic. Miss Blair joined
the company September last under a
contract for two years, which it appears
is now to be indefinitely extended. Mr..
Mack has been endeavOring to secure
her services for several years past, and
only succeeded after spirited compe-
tition with some of the leading theat-
rical managers of the country. In ap-
pearance Miss Blair is tall and stately,
of pronounced blonde type, and Mr..
Downing is congratulated by all who
know her as securing for wife one of
the most beautiful and accomplished
ladies now on the American stage.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Poor Old Mary O'Brien Sent Up
Again for Sixty Days.

Mary O'Brien, who has figured in the
police court about 'Steen times, was up
again yesterday on charge of having
been drunk. She was arrested early
Sunday morning by Patrolman Somers
while waking the echoes of South Min
neapolis by bowling at the top of her
voice.
II was not drunk, your HONOR said
the poor old woman, with tears in her
eyes. II was simply sitting outside OF
my door singing when | was arrested.
Please don't send me to the work house.
l have lust served siXty-d day sentence
there and am sick"
II looked up your record this morn
ing, Mary" replied Judge Boiley, .'and
am inclined to think that another sixty
day sentence would do you good"
"Oh, your honor, let ME off this
time.'
"Same fine as before-s5O or sixty
days"
Mary was sent to the work house
some weeks ago to serve out sixty
day sentence, but being taken sick, was
removed to the hospital. She has not
been out many days.

A sLUGGER SOCIALIST.
Evert Nymanover Throws a Man
Ont of His House.

Eyert Nymanover, the ''fawn-eyed so
cialist," and proprietor of boarding
house near the court house. was on his
dignity yesterday, and during the after
noon elected an obstreperous individual
who attempted to run the house. The,
man, who, by the way, formerly boarded
at the house. refused to leave when
Evert ordered him to do so. Nyman-
over grappled with him and threw him
out through the door. The fellows
head was badly cut, and this gave rise
to runor that there had been a cut
ting affray at the house. This is Ny
manover's story, but other parties tell
a different one. They say that the
young fellow, whose name is johnson.
had right in the house, as his mother
is Nymanover's partner, and that Ny
hanover made an attack upon him
without cause. There has been an i'll
feeling between the two for a long time.

THEY TALKED BACK.
Ellen Keene and Lucy Appleton
Create a Scene.


Ellen Keene was arraigned in the pO-
lice court yesterday afternoon on a
charge OF assaulting Lucy A. Appleton.
II was hanging out my clothes," said
Mrs. Appleton. 'when Mrs. Keene sent
her out to bother me. / sent her in and
then her mother came out and shook
her fist at me as though she was going
to hit me-"
Il never hit you at ALL" growled Mrs.
Keene, glazing at the witness.
"Of course you did not" was the
reply, "fOr you did not dare to, but you
tried to pull the line down."
''Oh, it's no such thing" was the
sharp response, land l wonder that you
dare to say so.''
"Well. the line wasn't in your yard,
as you have paid no rent" shouted Mrs.
Appleton.
II have paid my rent, and can prove
it. Now did not hit her, and all my
witnesses will tell you the same. The
Lord in heaven is my judge that only
took her by the head.''
The case was dismissed, the judge
holding that both parties were equally
guilty. +

BROADER POLICY DEMANDED.
The City and the Railroads
Single Tax Scare-Board Of
Trade Doings.


The single tax movement has stirred
up the real estate men to great eX
tent and the matter was brought before
the board of trade yesterday. The fact
Is that the first direct effect of the single
tax system would be to effectuaIly put
an end to real estate speculation, as DO
man could afford to hold unproductiVe
and unimprOved land to wait for Il rise
i'll value. Ezra FarnSWOrth, Jr., brought
the matter to the attention of the board
with the expressed fear that the legiSla-
ture might adopt it without really un-
Outstanding it. 1t was referred to the
committee on legislation, with instruc-
tons to investigate and report.
Most of the time of the board was oc-
cupied listening to report of the COM
mittee on railroads. The sentiment had
road policy of the city has been pro-
hibitory; that hand in hand policy
would be more to the advantage of both
city and railroads, and that the time has
come when change should be in
augurated. With this end in view,
the committee was instructed to
make a thorough investigation,
and its report was made yesterday.
1t was very exhaustive and Intelligent
resume of the situation, and was read
by Clay Mcauley. 1t set forth that the
city and the railroads were continually
at swords points on matters pertaining
to bridges, grade crossings, etc., the
city disposed to force every point by
the law and the railroads to resist ii to
the last extremity. The railroads have
complained that Minneapolis has
been different from other cit
les in the line OF reciprocity
and that every point is construed to
their disadvantage. There was time
when the city offered inducements to
the roads, but now it seemed obstacles
to progress and improvement were
thrown in their path. st. Paul, Mil
waukee and other cities have adopted
much more liberal policy in the mat
ter of bridges, not only laying the SUI
bridges when completed. The report
and the railroads, and greater spirit of
reciprocity. 1t was quite an interesting
document, butdiscussion was postponed
until the next meeting.
A. j. Blethen made rather discour-
aging report of the session of the ma
tional board OF trade and the fogieS who
attended il. 1t was considered matter
of doubt whether this board should con-
tinue its membership at the cost Of $40
year.
Mr.. Hicks. of Oshkosh, laid before the
board a proposition to bring here a
mandatory of patent safe locks. He
wanted 1000 capital as an inducement,
and said $4,000 had been expended i'll
perfecting the patents. The committee
on manufactures will investigate.

AGAIN AFFIRMED.
The United States Supreme Court
Passes Upon a Minnesota Law.

In 1888, Van Norman Bros, dealers
in jewelry at Az Nicollet avenue. made
an assignment to c. c. Bennett, the fur
rier. to whom the store was turned over
by Sheriff Stoddard, who was in posses
sion by virtue of an attachment. c. D.
O'Brien, of st. Paul, representing Chi
cago creditors, and United States Mar
shall FL. K. Denny swooped down
on the stock with an attachment
from the United States circuit
court and displaced the assignee. The
assignee then sued Marshall Denny for
tanned verdict in the district court of
Ramsey county for $500. An appeal
was taken to the state supreme court in
1885 and the decision of the lower court
was affirmed. 1t was then carried to
the United States supreme court, and
was only submitted two weeks ago.
Yesterday A. n, Merrick, the attorney
for the assignee, received notification
that the decision had been again
affirmed.
The important part of the decision is
that an act of the state legislature, pro-
viding that whenever the property of a
debtor is taken under an execution
against him. he may make an assign
ment OF all his property not exempt by
law for the equal benefitof his creditors,
who shall file releases of their debts and
claims; and that the property shall be
equitably distributed among such cred
itors. is repugnant to the constitution
of the United States, so far as it affects
citizens of other states than Minnesota.
1t was claimed by the counsel for the
plainUiff in error that this statute was
invalid, because it impaired the obliga-
ton of contracts, and also that it could
have no extra territorial operation. and
could not, therefore, be binding on
creditors residing in different states
from that of the debts.

dered me to see so many pretty things.A
never did anything like it before and
never will again.

that slight punishment would teach
the girl lesson. and so imposed a fine
of S25, which was paid by the girls

Additional city News on the Fifth Pose.
CURRENT COMMENT.

If the stories now in circulation con-
corning the Ward case are true, 1t
would appear the wrong man was in
dicted. The understanding seems TO be
that the revelations which credit Ward
with having turned over his collections
at the demand of Col. Glenn came from
Ward himself about a year ago, ana
there is corroborative evidence TO snow
that certain money went into the DEM
ocratic campaign fund about that time.
though other members of the committee
claim to know nothing of its source. Its
also said that Ward felt himself to be
a sort of scapegoat for the sins of Others
and made the revelations accordingly.
1t appears further, from the statements
of those who should know best, that
Mayor Ames knew nothing of this
money having been transferred TO the
campaign fund, as it was in his absence
that Ward, in his uncertainty, turned it
over to Col. Glenn. AS long as there
was no possibility of convicting Ward,
it is a matter uf regret that the case
could not have proceeded, so that more
facts might have been brought out
under oath. The public might want to
know about these things.
~
Judge Young in his decision in the
Kelly ease Yesterday did not seem TO
have much regard for decision of his
colleague, Judge Hicks, in the same
case. Judge Young sustained the point
raised by the defense that the al!ega-
tions of the Indictment did not conSti
tute all offense, while Judge Hicks
overruled the point. A very prominent
attorney had said. after examining the
case year ago, that not a word of evil
dence could ever be taken. He and
Judge Young evidently agreed.
-
The board of trade will redeem itself
yet if it keeps on. Its report OF the
railroad commissioner yesterday was in
the line of what service such an organ
ization may be to the city, and it is to
be hoped it will not mar the effect by q
string of pompouS resolutions. The
board may do great good by sensibly
and modestly guiding public sentiment,
but it has wide opportunities for max
ing of itself a laughing stock, as it did
when it automatically dictated to the
court house commission.

There will be a merry overhanling

thirsty, and they long to get back to the

an institution known as the police COM
mission, which will transact little bust
ness. It's hands are practically tied, and
its wheels clogged, but when tue grease
of the new administration is applied
there will be a perfect merry go-rOund.
