Satisfactory Test of a New Smoke
Burner.
MANY PEOPLE GRATIFIED.
Dismissal Of Proceedings Instituted
Against the Edison Electric Light I
Company. -.

The case against the Edison Electric
Light company, which was brought in
the municipal court some time ago by
Building Inspector johnson, was dis
missed yesterday.
The building inspector, with the con-
sent of Attorney Stevens, who repre-
scented the people, agreed some time ago
to give the company time to have smoke
burners and fuel-saving contrivances
applied to the boilers. These were COM
pleted on all except two boilers Mon
day, and yesterday test of
their working was given in
the presence of the building
inspector, the attorney for the people
and other gentlemen. The test proved
satisfactory and the case was conse-
quently dismissed. Speaking about the
matter yesterday afternoon, Mr.. John
son said: There are innumerable de-
vices to abate the smoke nuisance, but
this is the best have seen. The trouble
has not only been with the continuance
but frequently with
ENGINEERS AND PIREMEN.
When change has been made fire.
man sometimes dislikeS the device, and
consequently III Is no gOOQ. 1nlS
burner, however, is a device, or
rather a system. of brick arches; and
when once placed in boiler requires
no attention, except as to the door of
the furnace. This is left open, and fur
nIshes the draft, and is successful in
that it makes more complete COM
buStiOn of the fuel. 1t is cheap, and L
understand that the contract which the
manager of the company gives guar
antees saving OF 10 per cent of fuel.
That, if true, would pay for consumer
three or four times over in year.
But, even if there is no saving of
fuel, the cost is nothing compared to the
nuisance that it does away with. l
hope this will be put into all the boil
ers which have proven nuisance here.
Now last year number of the dry
goods merchants on Third street testi-
fed as to the injury they received from
the opera house smoke stack. 1t
counted up in the thousands of dollars;
and for the small sum that this costs, l
suppose that can be done away with.
No, L am not the one under the new
law to max the complaint, but when
those who have the grievance make it
known, l will certainly try to have it
remedied."

IMPROVING THE CHANNEL.
Progress of Work on the Missis-
sippi by the Engineer CorDs.

sippi by the Engineer Corps.
Mai. Mckenzie, of the United States
engineer corps, in charge of the work of
improving the Mississippi river from
KeOkuk to st. Paul, was in the city
yesterday on tour of inspection. The
work Ofriver Improvement in his district
is now confined to the section between
st. Paul and Hastings, where force of
sixty men under Capt. Dushane, with
the U. S. steamer Fury. steam launches
Louise and Stella, large dredge and
twenty or thirty barges, are engaged in
the construction of a system of wing
dams for the purpose Of contracting the
channel, and dredging through trouble
some bars" At Island No. Il, three
miles above Hastings, III re were but
thirty inches of water ten DAYS ago.
The sounding at this crossing is now
over five feet, several days work bav-
ing been put in there in the cOnStruc-
ton of four or five dams. At the
''Frenchman'S ban" just below DaytOn'S
bluff, where there have been but two
and a half feet of water for some
time, the dredge boat is now i'm opera
ton, and the prospects are that a channel
five or six feet in depth viii soon he cut
through. Since Sept. l st. Paul has
been virtually an inland city so far as
large steamers are concerned, the river
to this point being navigable only by
the smaller craft. The work of i'm
proyement, however, has proceeded to
such an extent that the steamer Sidney
came up Monday, and experienced but
little difficulty at the crossings which
have heretofore been impossible. The
work at ''Frenchman's bar" will soon
be completed, and it is said by river
men that the upper Mississippi will then
be in better condition in low water
stage than for several years past.

MAKING BETTER BRICKS.
Necessity for an Improved Quail
ity in Business Operations.

Building Inspector Johnson is exam
lining a new kind of brick which has
just been made by man who lives near
Lake Como. 1t was made out of Sure
clay, without the ordinary mixture of
sand, and looks like good material. The
building inspector will test the new
brick both as to its ability to stand water
and fire. So far as he had gone yester-
day he thought it would prove Satisfac-
tory. 1T will be a good thing for the
gentleman who owns the land where
the clay is located" said the inspector,
''aS well as for the city, if the
brick proves all right. At the pres
ent time almost every contract for a
building has the brick specified. some
kind in the state being mentioned. st.
Paul brick is not used except for some
of the cheaper buildings because the
quality is not good. The brick manu-
facturerS here are anxious to make too
big profits. If they can save six or
ten cords of wood in baking a quantity
of brick they will do it. They want to
get rich too fast and for that reason
their bricks are not used. l believe the
time will come when there will be no
demand for st. Paul brick. unless the
manufacturers make better quality,
and st. Paul is one of the best markets
in the country for properly manufac-
tured material

Organized a Colored Club.

ColOfed citizens held a well-attende d
and animated meeting at the court
house last night for the purpose of or
ganizing club. The discussion, which
at times waXed warm, lasted three hours.
Some wanted to give the club a politi-
cal character and others opposed it. the
latter being successful in carrying their
point. The organization was called the
Ramsey County ColOred club. L. HI.
Lyles was elected president; J. w.
Lucas. IL. Howard and +. p. Wade,
vice presidents; j. ii. Beasley, secre-
tary ;and Robert Banks. treasurer. tDur-
ing the session speeches were made by
Col. A. A, Jones, Rev. William Gray,
ID. Ii. Saunders and others.
At the close of the meeting the belief
was expressed by some that the club
would soon lose its social character and
be used for political purposes, which,
they claimed, was the ultimate con-
cealed object of its organization. Both
political parties were represented.

The meeting was held to select twenty
one directors of the association and was
presided over by Hon. Albert Scheffer,

While the tellers were counting the
votes cast Mr.. Van Slyke briefly ad-
dressed the stockholders. He suggested
that the carnival and ice palace be con-
Quoted week or ten days, as hereto
fore, and, in addition, that the ice pal
ace should be continued lighted for one
month. If this were done it would at
tract thousands of people to the city
from all quarters of the continent.
George ThOmpSon-That will be a
matter for the city to decide.
MIR. Van Slyke-We will get the city
to do that; at least | think so. The COM

Lolita MAY LOSE.
Another Theater Proposed for st
d, Paul.

Another Theater Proposed Tor st.
- Paul.
1t will not be definitely settled until
tomorrow whether Lolita will become
the owner of the Grand opera house in
this city, and already steps have
been taken to secure return
of the $1,000 earnest money paid
in the event of failure of
pending negotiations. Complications
have arisen growing out of the arrange
ment of details between the present
owners and Manager Scott, and these
have been further increased by the
formation of syndicate to erect new
theater in this city. Manager COnk-
ling, of the Grand in Minneapolis, has
organized syndicate, and it is proposed
TO erect the new structure upon the site
of the glass block, at the corner of
Fourth and st. Peter streets. He states
that 1.-The syndicate have purchased
tract of land in st. Paul, and may build
a theater there. We have worked with
the Grand in st. Paul for many years,
but now that there is prospect OF
Lolita becoming the owner of
it, she wants house of her own here,
and has talked of purchasing the Hen
uepin Avenue theater. OF course, if
she does that she will run the two in
connection, and we would be left out i'll
the cold. 1t is necessary to have
house in st. Paul because you
can't get combinations to come
up here to play in one city,"
When questioned on the subject last
evening Manager Scott chuckIed mer-
rily as he said: lit is a go, and the new
theater will be built if the Grand
changes owners. There is ample capt.
tai behind the syndicate, for am inter
eSted in the matter myself. A new
theater would do a good business, es-
pecially if the right kind of book was
made, and the prOprietors of the enter
prise do not fear failure.n
