ORJECT TO a PARK.
Taxpayers Who Desire Market
House Up Town.

Citizens who reside in the vicinity of
the uptown bridge are not fayorably
inclined toward the project for new
park at that point. as they consider that
their inter- SIS would be better served
by the construction of market house
on the proposed site. Hence they have
been induStriously circulating Il petit
ton. which will be presented to the
board of park commissioners, protesting
against The small reservation near the
bridge being utilized fer park purposes.
The language of the petition is as fol-
lows:
Having understood that the city of st.
Paul intends to locate park &C the in
tersection of Smith avenue and Banfil
street. we ask you as citizens and tax
payers to assist us in protesting against
such action, aside from the heavy addi-
tional tax which will be levied upon US.
There are great many other objec-
tons.
In the first place, this location bids
fair to become in short time bust
ness district, which will greatly in
crease the value of our property. The
location of park would be detriment
to its advancement; also should they
put park here the smoke and cinders
from locomotives in the Milwaukee
short line would render the place OBJ
noxious instead of pleasant to those
who frequent it.
The cost of this park would be be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, the city pay
ing half and the taxpayers in the neigh
bOrhood of the park paying the balance.
Considering the heavy tax which we
will be subjected to for the benefits of
that bridge, any additional tax would be
robbery,

Topics Of the Day Which Will

Readers.

A suit against the city Of st. Paul was
filed yesterday by Louis RebholZ and
wife, in which it was claimed that the
defendant, through its agent or attOr-
ney, made gross misrepresentation and
false statements concerning the con-
domination proceedings of the West side
levee. The plaintiffs are poor, ignOr-
rant family, who formerly lived on lot
3, block q, Bazlle d Robertson's addi-
ton to West ST. Paul. When property
was condemned for the levee a
city official, who was an old
acquaintance and who for a
long time had advised them
whenever they needed the services of
an attorney, called on them and repre-
scented that by signing certain paper"
they would receive S415, and aid and
shorten the condemnation proceedings
of property along the levee. That it
was only a temporary conveyance to the
city for the purposes of building the
leyee, which it was stated would be
done at once. Being wholly ignorant
Of all the proceedings, save that they
| had implicit confidence in one who had
advised them before, and being assured
by him that everything was all right,
they signed the proffered instrument
and received the compensation
stated. They were then told that the
city would take their property any way,
and in signing the paper" they only
| facilitated the proceedings and helped
the official in his duties in prosecuting
the same. They were also told that
| they would not be in worse condition
than before, though they had re-
manned quiescent. Some time after, how
ever, and after they had been ordered
off the premises and the city had sold
their house, they realized, or rather sus-
| pected, that something was wrong, and
| that they had been miSinformed and de-
| frauded. Looking further to ascertain
the true nature of that paper they
| had been led to sign under the preteXt
that it was all right, they discovered
that it wigs in truth straight warranty
deed for their home. The only redress
left this needy couple was to begin this
action against the city. in which they
! set forth the details of their transaction
with the city Official, and ask that the
| deed be decreed null and void, and that
the city pay them for the sale of the
buildings upon the premises, less the
amount they received as consideration
for the Snanerc

CUTTING EXPRESS RATES.
Lively Competition Between
Three COmnanieS

The advent of the Adams Express
company in the Northwest has caused
ripple of excitement in express cir
cleS and consequent cutting of rates
by the three competitors for express
business. Dec. IS the American eX-
press people drew up a circular, which
was sent to the prominent business
firms in the city. stating that the
recipient thereof would be fay
ored with a reduction of 81 to
New York, and so cents to Boston on all
express matter. This circular was
drawn up in such manner as to give
each firm the impression that it was
finding special favor in the eyes of the
American Exp ess company. A COM
parison of notes by several business
men, however. quickly showed the
fallacy OF such course of reasoning.
The United States and Adams Express
companies followed the cut, and Dec.
26th offered the same rate which the
American did. The latter company
claims that their action was caused by
the Minneapolis agent of the Adams
cutting the rate, but the accused deny
this statement. The Adams company
have obtained a wonderful foot-hold,
considering the short time they have
been In this territory, and claim that
their older rival is seriously chagrined
at their success, and intend forcing
down the rate accordingly

The Dime Museum.

The most sensational feature ever
seen at the dime museum attracted
hundreds of people to that popular

Others. This one Is QuebO. Central

broken glass dancers in the world, and
they will be seen at the museum next
week. The marvellous exhibition of HI
Hi and AVi has created a vast deal of
talk. Those who have seen them dance
know that there can be no deception
about it. and there is much speculation
as to how the soft human skin can come
in contact with the sharp, ragged edges
of broken glass witbaut being terribly
lacerated. Quebo is known as the
whirlwind dancer. He leaps into the
air and whirlS about with inconceivable
rapidity until the glass snaps aud
breaks and crunches into powder. The

GOVERNOR AND BANKER.
No Change Will Be Made at the
Merchants Bank


1t was stated in st. Paul last evening
that Gov.-elect Merriam had resigned
the presidency of the Merchants Ma
tional bank. This step, it was reported,
was necessary under the constitution
of the state. A GLOBE reporter visited
Mr.. Merriam at his residence, corner
University avenue and Cedar street, and
found him quite laxative on the sub
ject.
"Resigned the presidency Of the Mer-
chants?' he repeated the question put
to him. ''Oh, no, there is no necessity
for my doing so under the articles of
the state constitution. Personally. it
would suit my own feelings to resign
the presidency of the bank. but the
stockholders will not have it so, and |
shall continue to perform the duties of
the position, along with my new func-
tions in the gubernatorial office. 1t is
quite possible for me to do So"
As To his appointment of private
secretary. MI. Schulz, Mr.. Heatwole,
the governor-elecJ said there is no
harm in stating that Mr.. Elliot
will receive the appointment. 1t is
not exactly an executive appointment,
but more of personal one. A COVER
nor generally appoints some one with
whom he is personally and confdentially
connected. MIR. Elliot has been person
ally associatec with me for years, an
able man and well fitted for the pos
itiOn.
