THE NEW COUNTY BUILDING.
An Animated Meeting of the Court
House and City Hall Commits

S1OH.
President Washburn, County Com
missioners Swift, Erickson, John
De Laittre, j. G. Oswald and
Aid. Mareck, representing quo
rum of the court house and city
hall commission, met at the rooms in
the Boston block yesterday afternoon,
and continued the discussion of the
merits of the I'll and the central open
& KEGS. On notion Of COM
missioner De Laittre the attorney
OF the board was directed to enter
into contract with the architects
There was some little discussion as to.
what commission should be paid. some
of the board holding that per cent was
the right thing, while others held that
per cent was enough. Commissioners
Washburn and De Laittre thought that
while per cent was not large price in
some cases, it was in this. as such a
large amount of money was to be eX-
pended. A somewhat spirited discus
sion followed, in which Commissioner
DeLaittre insinuated that Long q Keys
were making grab for public money.
Motions to make it 4, AZ and 5
per cent were put. and lost.
Another vote was finally taken on Com
missioner Mareck's motion, that the
commission be fixed at AZ per cent.
This time the motion carried.
The relative merits of the central open
court and the II plans were next taken
up and discussed at some length, and
the open court plan practically decided
upon.

l.. A. Condit-I don't believe Jim
Eye would enter into combination
With Loren Fletcher, for | know he de-
Spises him, and don't believe jim has
any love for Loren, either, but then in
politics man often has queer bed
fellows.
Ed A. Stevens-If there is any ques-
ton as to whether my bill for
compiling and indeXing the city charter,
ordinances, etc., is just, / am will
ing to arbitrate, and will allow the city
council to select all the arbitrators, con-
ditional that my claim be ignored, and
that l receive what the work is declared
to be worth, irrespective of the worker.
An arbitrating committee of aldermen,
E. NJ. Johnson, G. B. Cooley and D. NJ.
Clough-none of them political friends
is cheap, but it takes lots of work to
make a good compilation, and now that
the city has the best in the United
States the council will not refuse to pay
my claim.
Capt. t. Connolly-I have been at the
Sisters fair every day, and l must say
that never saw fair conducted in bet
ter shape.
John De Laittre-In building our new
court house and city hall there will be a
large amount of money expended, and
OF course every architect, builder and
workman will want to get pull at the
pap.
W. D. Washburn-I have found that
it does not pay at all in the long run to
pay man who is working for NE less
than he is really worth.
Aid. Mareck, of the court house COM
mission-The eyes of the public are
upon us in the matter of erecting this
costly building, and we want to be very
careful at every step we take. Our ac-
tons will be criticised, so we must, l
again say. be careful.
c. E. Haynes intend to see that
representative from each paper gets
good fair show at the annual session of
the I. p. A. Then l will be certain
that the people of Minneapolis will not
be given garbled reports.

RATES TO CHICAGO.
A Denial That There Has Been
Cutting by the Railroads.

There has been considerable cutting
of rates by some of the roads in order to
secure passenger traffic to the Chicago
convention. 1t was agreed by the Chi
cago roads that the rate from st. Paul
and Minneapolis should be $40 for the
round trip.
1t was discovered Wednesday, how
ever, that several of the roads were
selling tickets for considerably less
than that figure. The cut, it is charged,
was at first to $3.50, then to S. and
finally touched 81.
1t is difficult to get at the truth of the
matter, as all the roads charged with
being engaged in the cut vigorously
deny that they have made any reduc-
ton, and that 4heir rates have all along
been $40. The higher officials state
positively that no lower rates have been
authorized by them, and all subordi-
mates connected with the roads declare
that they have held firmly up to the
rates agreed upon. The consequence is
that many people who have anticipated
going to Chicago on very cheap rates
will be disappointed.

FIGHTING FOR FAVORS.
Exciting Races for Prizes at the
Sisters Fair.

Ii ever fair was success in Mlnne-
apolis, surely the Sisters fair now being
held at Harmonic hall will be, if dense
crowd in attendance every day and
every evening. and liberal patronage
on the part of business men and others
are any indications. Notwithstanding the
warm-yes, hot weather of yesterday,
the hall was well filled last evening,
and much interest was shown by
all present. The voting for the vari-
Gus candidates was liveler than it has
been any previous night during the fair.
Every one appeared to be hungry, and
the dining room tables were filled all
the time. A feature of the evening was
a musical by the choir of st. Chlotilde's
church, and solos by some of the indi-
vidual members. To-day Archbishop
Ireland will take dinner at the hall, with
the priests of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
and an invitation has been sent to all
the resident physicians to be present.
Among the donations received yester-
day were the following: Mrs. Tracy, a
barrel OF flour; Mrs. w. d. Washburn
and MIR. Mendenhall, large number of
flowers; Miss Kate Hauser, handsome
embroidered chair; Grinnell & Co.. a
box of oranges; K. Assylesen, hand
painted tidy: Mir. Barch, half dozen
potted plants; Mrs. William Byrnes,
milk, cakes, etc.; j. B. McDonOugh, ten
pounds of tea. A handsome set of
Italian marble jewelry cases has been
presented to the st. Chlotilde parish,
and is now on sale.
Misses Annie Montague. Allie Daily,
Lizzie Mccarthy, Annie Hay, Mary
Rogers and Mary Dannegher, engaged
in the race for the gold pen and gold
cross, are gathering in many votes. The
young girls, Maggie Finn, Mamie Irwin,
Mary Sexton and Mary Callaghan, in
terested in the doll, are also making
hard fight to win.
The members of the Sodality of the
Blessed Virgin are bound to win the
cow presented by Albert Smith, or else

ALL SORTS.

Two Sons of Veterans, while in camp
at Plummer post hall Tuesday, distin-
guished themselves by getting most
gloriously full. They helped each other
UP stairs to the lodge room, and because
the sentry on guard would not allow
them to enter as they had not the pass
word, wanted to stick him with the bay
onets OH their guns. They finally went
to sleep in an ante-room, one of them
using a brick for pillow.
The straw hat trade has succeeded the
umbrella boom.
A half per cent commission for the
court house work seems small. but if
the cost should creep up to S2,000,000, it
represents neat little plum.
Kansas City should make the most of
her enjoyment, for at base ball is the

Back of meat market on Nicollet
island is a large box full of decaying
meat. 1t has been complained of to the

change in the number of social enter

quiet until autumn. The excursion par

The Outlook for Shotwell, Cleri-
hew & LOthma an Is Better.
There were no developments in the
situation OF the financial affairs of Shot
well, Clerihew & Lothman yesterday,
any more than that the firm felt conf
dent everything cwould come out all
right in short time. Mr.. Shotwell, the
senior member of the firm, returned
from New York yesterday afternoon.
He was met at Chicago by Mr.. Cleri-
hew, who had gone there to meet him.
"Our financial difficulties" said he,
twill be adjusted, and we will resume
payment within forty-eight hours. No
meeting of the creditors will be neces-
sary. [ have made arrangements
whereby everything can be settled
without going to that trouble. A bust
ernoon from Chicago, who will make
temporary arrangement between us and
our creditors, which will enable us to
come out of our present embarrassment
all right. l cannot disclose the nature
OF the arrangements until after they are
contaminated. ALI that / can say is
that they are such as will be satisfac-
tory to all parties. The statements
with regard to the cause of the trouble
that have already been made through
the press are substantially correct"
New York advices state that the
firms creditors there are not at all dis
posed to be harsh or to press their
claims so as to cause trouble. George
A. Bracket, the owner of the building
In which the firm is located, does not
feel at all uneasy over the matter.

have suspended, have an office in this
city. Some time ago they got in diff
Guilty from which they were released by
loan of $4,000, which has not been
repaid. Creditors here think the liabili-
ties will exceed 100000, the greater
part of which is due in New
York. Among the firms mentioned as
large creditors are A. ID. Juiliard
IL Co., Faulkner, Page Il Co.,
Strong & Co. and Lewis Bros, &
Co. A creditor said to-day that
the worst features of the failure
was that Mr.. Shotwell within a week
had borrowed 100000 from friends
IN this city. Attachments were
issued for about $4,000, but no
money was found OF the Hanover Nat
ional bank, where the firm was sup
posed to have about $4,000 on deposit.

wife, from whom he has been separated
for some years, to compel her to Ioin

he lives, and which is valued at $50, 900.
The unpleasant and unsavory history of
ing the trial. Judge Baxter took the
matter under consideration,
The suit of George w. Bigley against
Albert NJ. Alden was on trial yesterday
before Judge Baxter. 1t appeared from
the evidence that Bigley was the owner
of four-Story brick building known as
126 South Fourth street, and that Alden
owned a three-story building adjoining:
that pipe which carried the water
from the roof of the Alden building ter
minated at the sidewalk directly in front
of the entrance to the basement in the
building owned by Bigley, and that the
water therefrom ran into the basement
and did cons siderable damage. Bigley
therefore asks for an injunction to have
the nuisance abated and for $3.50 for
damage done.

Mrs. Horsford Appeals From the
Probate Court

NIrs. dorS1Ord Appeals FROM the
Probate Court.
The case of appeal from the probate
court in the matter of the settlement
and distribution of the HOrsford estate
was on trial yesterday before Judge
Young, and will be resumed this morn
ing. 1t appears that prior to the mar
rage of Carrie M. Horsford, the sur
vlving widow of the deceased. an ante
nuptial contract was made in which she
agreed to take as her share of his estate,
in case of her surviving him, one-seventh
OF his entire property in lieu of all al
!owance given her by statute. She says
that some time after their marriage the
deceased destroyed this contract, and
consequently she is entitled to the share
OF the estate allowed by statute. The
six children of the deceased by former
wife claim that the contract was never
destroyed, and that the widow is only
entitled to one-seventh of the estate.
The amount of property in controversy
is about 100000.

CURRENT COMMENT.

If the present rate war keeps up, it
will be cheaper to go to Chicago than to
stay at home. But, Notwithstanding
this, the indications are that not very
large crowd will go from Minneapolis.
Three or four months ago it looked as
though every member of the famous
Argonautic expedition to Washington
last December, felt it his duty to his
country. but as the time approaches and
the weather grows warmer, the number
dwindles day by day. Now the outlook
is that only the genuine politicians will
be found on the field of battle, with the
chances in favor of their being unable
large, and the seats are being reserved
for the Gresham claquers of Chicago.
~
Gen. Langdon has gone and the Alger
boom has lett Minneapolis with him.
The general is not Gresham man,
first, last or any time and has no use for
that astute statesman, much to the dis
gust of the Evening Journal, which has
held Gresham up as little tin god on
wheels. LangdOn is entirely too indie
pendent for even his colleagues at ma
tional conventions, but when the time
comes. he gets there just the same.
When the Alger boom has run out and
the Blaine leaven begins to work, Lang
don will be the last man in the cOnVen-
ton to bow to GeSSler'S hat.
~
1t is the general opinion in Minneap-
oils that S. @. ComStOck, while reason
ably sure of election in the Fifth dis
trict, is not a strong candidate. The
view was thus expressed: "Comstock
will be elected. probably. but he will
not be able to enthuSe the district and
get out large vote for the Republican
state ticket. That used to be Knute
Nelson's great hold and he will be
missed this year. If Comstock makes
any tariff breaks, and the Democrats
put up the right sort of men, the dis
trict may take tumble"
~
Most of the prominent Republicans in
this county are advocating the plan of
side tracking the present congressional
aSpirantS' and agreeing on some new
man. The fight has grown SO hot be-
tween Snider and Fletcher that it is
generally conceded that there is no
hope of electing either of them, and, as
for Dave Clough's candidacy, it is the
general opinion that he is only in the
field to cover the little villain's''
tracks. The dark horses. which are
being quietly groomed for the race, are
said to be Col. Charles w. Johnson.
