Minnesota Elevator company. The case
is the Red Wing Elevator 81 Mill case,
and it is set for hearing April 27. The
case of Shaw 81 Bannigan, proprletors
of the fremont exchange, which was
certified to the supreme court from the
Ramsey county district court, last Mon

Numerous Cases That Came to

LIEN Law.

Numerous Cases That Came to
the Surface Yesterday---The
Lien Law.
In the case of John Jaeger against
Timothy Dwane ct al, Judge Brill has
filed decision sustaining the demurrer
to the amended complaint, with leave to
the plaintiff to amend on payment of
costs. An important memorandum is
added to this decision. 1t is as follows:
sit has been decided by Judge Wilkin
in the case of The Bohn Manufacturing
Company VS.. August Schmidt, that the
lien law of 1887 is unconstitutional and
the complaint must therefore be sus-
tanned under the old law, if at all. The
complaint is insufficient under the old
law, because it does not state the value
of the materials furnished and because
it docs not state that any affidavit was
made or filed, and besides it is alleged
that the Pruden Stove company was the
owner of the land during all the time,
and it is not alleged that any contract
whatever was made with it. The ale.
CATION that the title stood on the record
in the name of the North st. Paul Land
company does not affect the rights of
the parties"
Hattie E. Hall has sued the Equitable
Accident association, of Binghamton
n. Y. The plaintiffs husband, who
was member of the above association,
was killed in an accident on the North
ern Pacific road. In the policy the in
surance money was made payable to
the plaintiff, and she asks for the
amount of the policy.
In the case of John W. Gregg ct al.
against the National German-American
bank, Judge Brill has rendered a decis-
ion that the plaintiffs have lien on the
premises, the east one-half of lot Is and
south two-thirds of lots IA. Is and 16,
block IS, st. Paul Proper, amounting to
$500, and that the property be sold to
satisfy the lien.
In the case of Charles G. Kimball
against The City of St. Paul, on motion
of defendants attorney, the action was
dismissed on the ground that although
the ordinance under which the money
was paid was void, the payment was
made voluntarily.
In the case of John Hanlon against
The City of St. Paul, damages in the
sum of S275 were allowed plaintiff. A
stay of proceedings for thirty days was
granted.

CRITlCISES THE BOARD.

The Board Of Corrections and
Charities Does Not Like the Act
ions OF the Reform School Board.
The twentieth quarterly meeting of
the state board of charities was held in
Secretary Harris Office at the capitol yes
terday. Messrs. Berry, Dana, Willis,
Yiart and Gov. McGill were there.
The board passed the following reso-
luton:
Resolved. That so far as we are advised of
the action of the trustees of the reform
school in making expenditures for building
on the present site, since the action of the
last legislature contemplating the removal
of that institution, we do not approve the
same.
This resolution was introduced by
Gen. Berry. and in connection with it
there was some discussion of the course
of the reform school board Oh the re-
moval question. Mr.. Willis said that if the
present site was to be sold, the erection
of new buildings might be really of adj
vantage in making the site more valu-
able. This, however, did not meet with
general approval by the board. The
sentiment was expressed that the spirit
and letter of the law was not being OBJ
served by the board, and this several
members deeply deplored. The COM
mittee on state prison, with the secre-
tary, was instructed to submit at the
next quarterly meeting report on
prison labor, in view of the fact that the
pr resent contract expires before the mex
meeting of the legislature.
MIR. HARRIS REPORT.
Secretary Harris report gave some ac-
count of his visits to Wisconsin insti-
tutions and touched on the condition
of state institutions. Speaking of the
reformation, Mr.. Hart says he advised
the board of managers to provide tenn
porary quarters for fifty conyicts, and
select some of the trusty men from the
Saltwater prison to do the work, SO far
as practicable, on the construction of
new buildings. The superintendent
and board of managers hesitated, think
ing that if escapes should occur it
would be liable to censure. The sec
rotary says that from his investigation
in other states, the 1000 appropriated
by the last legislature for tools and
machinery to inaugurate a system of
prison labor on the state account plan,
was by all odds too small a figure. With
the present number of convictS it would
take 100000. The secretary criticises
the action of the reform school board in
building new buildings on the present
site in view of the proposed removal.
He says: "The managers have received
no bids for the purchase of the property
and in the present condition of the real
estate market, it is claimed that the
property would not bring as much, with
in $4,000 or $4,000, as it would a year
ago.

FOR EACH ADULT PAUPER

has the contract for doing this work,
but at the rate of $3.50 for each adult
and $3.50 for each infant. Mr.. DON

until May, and the board allowed S34

The first of the long-eXpected enter
tainments for the benefit of the News
bows home, an institution which Guilt
Yates and sustains the self-respect OF its
inmates, occurred last evening at
Turner hall. 1t was compliment
ary throughout, the ladies and
gentlemen who participated having
come forward without exception as vol
lmteers, and the array of talent on the
programme was really imposing, from
the local amateur point of view. Several
other events OF social Importance that
took place last evening had
the effect of lessening the at
tendance from what it would
have been otherwise, still the large au-
ditorium was well filled. The general
expression set down the entertain
ment as one of the finest home
talent events of this or any other
season. The Offering was Robert
sons comedy in three acts, caste, or
Hearts and CoronetS," and the honorS
were about evenly divided among those
who sustained the various roles. George

highly complimentary to that young
lady Mrs. George w. Cory's portrayal
of Esther Eccles, the ballet girl who
captivated the high-bred D'Alroy, may
perhaps be justly regarded as the best
bit of acting of the evening,
aud placed her in the front
rank of St. Paul amateurs.
Taken as a whole the entertainment,
including the orchestral features, which
also were rendered by nOn-profession-
ais, was charming success in every
way, and the financial result will GER
tainly be appreciated by the beneficiary
institution. Tonight another enter
tainment for the same purpose with the
three-act comedy, Honor and Love-"
as the offering.

MIR. BUSHNELL REMEMBERED

A Surprise Party Presents a Fine
Portrait of MIR. Bushnell to His
Good Wife.
A few weeks ago William M. Bush
nell, who was chief marshal of the in
dustrial parade Feb. 1, returned thanks
to his aides on that occasion by tender
ing them a banquet, at which covers
were laid for about twenty aud a general
good time had by the participants. Those
who were guests at the banquet were at
loss as to how to return the compli-
ment, but finally hit upon plan which
was satisfactory to all. Last evening
they proceeded in body to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Bushnell, on Holly ave-
nue., and before that gentle
man could inquire the reason of
the INVASION, they presented Mrs.
Bushell with fine portrait
of her husband handsomely framed.
The presentation speech was made by
A. S. Tallmadge, secretary of the cham
Der of commerce, and was responded to
brieey by Mr.. Bushnell on behalf of the
recipient. The guests were then in
vited to partake of collation., to which
they did ample justice, and. were pleas
antly entertained for the remainder of
the evening by their host and hostess.
