BETWEEN THE RIBS.
A Norwegian Painter Plants
Knife in the Side of a Hack

A Norwegian Painter Plants
Knife in the Side of a Hack
man.
A serious .stabbing affray took place
last night about 10 o'clock, in which
John Russell, a Norwegian painter, in
flicted serious wound on the person of
John Igo, hack driver. The stabbing
took place in front of the Grand restau-
rant, on Wabasha street. Last Satur-
day the hack drivers who congregate
about the Grand opera house engaged
in a go0d-notured Scuffie. and when
Russell passed some one jostled him,
nearly pushing him off the sidewalk
This was repeated by others and was
resented by Russell, who nursed his
wrath. Last night he was coming
down Wabasha street, from Bridge
square, and as he passed the Grand
restaurant, Jimmy Igo'S brother gave a
push, sending James up against Rus
sell, who was evidently prepared for
trouble, as he held an open knife in his
hand. AT the instant that Igo struck
Russell the latter swept his hand back
ward, his knife hitting Igo in the ribs,
cutting a deep cash about three inches
long. Russell then ran down Fourth
street, turning up into the alley in the
rear of the Grand block and throwing
away his knife as he ran. Officer
Banney arrested the culprt and took
him to the police station, while Igo was
taken to his home OH Fillmore avenue.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
The report of committee of experts
on the High school accident, consisting
of Messrs. G. A. Wallingford, NJ. p.
Ryan and Andrew Doyle, was accepted
substantially as follows:
The committee found that inferior
brick had been used at the point of frac-
ture: that no plates were placed under
the destroyed iron beams as called
for by the city building regu-
lationS; that the mortar Joints
froze and afterwards thawed and were
subjected to unusual and long-continued
rains and that the hosting apparatus
produced vibratory motion sufficient
TO produce the fall. The architect
should have indicated piers of sufficient
size, and the building inspector should
have discovered the omission of the iron
plates before granting permit. The
contractor was at fault for not using the
quality of brick called for and for omit
ting the plates on which the iron beams
should rest. The former Superintend-
entS was found remiSS for failing to see
this work done. The committee recon-
mend that hard brick laid in cement be
used to finish the wall, and that iron
columns be used in supporting the
beams. Regarding the work remain
ing, the committee recommend that the
work be continued following the draw
ingS, specifications and city regulations.
This report was accompanied by bill
of S125 each for the services of the eX-
pertS, which was received and laid on
the table. The committee on schools re-
ported concerning school building at
Hazel Park recommending that the mat
ter be left to the new board.
Mr.. Wilcox, architect, stated that he
was sick when the soft brick were used
in the construction OF the High school.
This was the first accident that had hap
pened in his twenty years experience
in business. He said that $50 would
set the matter right, and as for the bill
OF Sl25 each for expert services he was
willing to pay it if the board kicked.
The work could now go on safely.
The contractors were ordered to pro-
ceed with the work on the addition, and
to push it as rapidly as possible, the
board voting to allow the last estimate
of Mr.. Erickson, notwithstanding all
objections to his progressing with the
work. The board then adjourned with
out date, as it will hold one more
meeting before its official life expires.

THE GRIST WAS LIGHT.
The City Council Hears a Few
Protest, and Confirms the List Of
Streets to be Sprinkled.

AT the meeting of the city council last
hightprotests against the proposed ele-
yated railways were received from
property owners on Martin and st.
Peter streets. The ordinances are still
in the hands of the committee on
streets and no action was taken in the
matter.
The list of streets to be sprinkled
under the contracts recently awarded
by the board of public works was read
and confirmed.
A petition was received from Patrick
Norris, who has contract to sprinkle
by subscription in front of certain prop-
critics, asking that such streets be
left out of the resolution, and the
request was granted. In the business
districts and on st. Anthony hill the
same streets are to sprinkled as were
Sprinkled last year. A resolution to
sprinkle streets on Dayton's Bluff was
referred. The prices to be paid
this year range from 46 to 40
cents per 100 feet per week.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

Co. G Passes a Satisfactory Inspec-
ton and Gives an Exhibition
Drill.
The inspection of Company C, n. G.
S. NJ, by Inspector Gen. Brandt at the
armory last night, was all that could be
desired. Inspection is always dry and
uninteresting proceeding at best. When
Gen. Brandt had ceased his scrutiny
last evening the company's selected
squad gave an exhibition drill before
the large crowd of spectators. The
drill was surprise to many and showed
that Captain Chantler's efforts had not
been in vain. A marked improvement
was noticed in many respects. There are,
however, few points on which the boys
need considerable practice. They are
slow and ragged in the manual when
dropping their left hands to the side,
and not up to the standard in the aim at
fire kneeling.' Their double rank
movements are only fair, and at fright
and left front into line" they are some
what ragged. In stacking with the
"Swiver' they are not good, and their
platoon movements can be improved
upon. 1t was noticeable that the wheels
of the second platoon were better than
those of the first. When marching in
company front their pieces are poorly
lined, and they often lose distance. One
or two other points might be improved
with practice. However, there is, excel
lent material in the company. With
regiment of such drilled men, no one
would have cause to complain. Capt.
Chantler is working hard, and if last
nights drill is to be accepted as speci-
men, the company has an excellent fut-
ure. Adjt. Gen. Seeley and Capt. Ed
Bean were interested spectators.

One of the Greatest Comforts

In the veStibuled train service is in the
dining cars-the pleasant, easy, gliding
motion; and any one who has gone
from one car to another on train that
is not vestibuled, with the train moving
at even moderate rate of speed, knows
that the force of the air rushing between
the cars equals strong gale, with all
the accompaniments Of dust and Gin
ders, making passage from one car to
another. even in fair weather, all un-
pleasant undertaking. Hence vesti-
buled train is not complete nnlesS it in
cludes dining car, and to add to the
Steadiness of the train the baggage car
should also be vestibuled.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

GA white man kyan sing like a Mig
ger nowise," remarked Uncle Remus to
the little boy, ''bekase his leg amt
stuck in ter de middle of de foot like a
lark's." And Uncle Remus' argument
is correct. The Hicks-Sawyer minstr ell
performance at the Grand last night
was an illustration of it. They were not
burnt cork artists, but sure enough
coonS. And they sang and they danced
as only the old plantation darkieS can
sing and dance. The negro can initiate
the white man, but the white man can
not initiate the negro. The average
minstrel organization of to-day is at
best only burleSque on minstrelsy,
simply because the white man cannot
initiate the negro brother.
The HickS-SaWyer company give
the most refined minstrel show that has
ever been seen here. With the exception
of an ineXcusably rough afterpiece, the
whole performance is remarkably free
from the cOarSeness and vulgarity
usually accompanying minstrel per-
formances. The vocal selections are
choice, and most admirably sung. King,
the tenor, and Johnson, the bassO, are
particularly fine singers.
The audience was one of the largest
OF the season, and included many of the
elite. 1t contained about as good rep
reSentatiOn of ST. Paul society as the
usual opera performances attract.
