THE SWITCHING CHARGES.
The Railroad Company Asks for
Dismissal.
SEVERAL COGENT REASONS.
Has the Commission Jurisdiction and
Does the Order Conflict With
National Law?

The matter of the appeal from the
order OF the railroad and warehouse
commission fixing the switching charges
in the city of Minneapolis at 81, with
out regard to distance OF value of the
property switched, came on for
trial yesterday before Judge Young.
The appellant, the Minneapolis &c
st. Louis Railway company, was repre-
scented by j. ID. Springer. The commits
sion was represented by George p ELAN
merry, attorney for the chamber of com
merce of this city. Mr.. Springer moved
for a continuance on the ground that the
questions involved in this suit were
already before the supreme court in the
mandamuS issued against the Chicago,
Milwaukee 81 st. Paul railway. This
motion was Overruled. Mr.. Springer
then commenced his argument for a
dismissal of the order. He holds, first,
that the commission has got no jurisdic-
ton in the matter, for the char
ter, which was obtained from
the territorial legislature in 1858,
gives the board of directors
the power to fix all rates, fares, charges
the general law passed by the legisla-
ture i'll 1887, to regulate COM
mon carriers, which says: ''There
shall in no case be more
than one terminal charge for switching
OF transferring any car, whether the
same be loaded or empty, within the
limits of any one city," the order
of the commission, is unreasonable
and against public policy, as it COM
pels the company to charge as
much for switching carload of
stone a few rods as would be charged
for switching car containing mer-
chandise of the value of $4,000 eight
miles, and some of the cars are switched
orator car, containing fruit, which
would require Waterman to keep up a
fire in the car, as a protection
against frost. Third, where the same
law says: IF it is necessary that any
one car pass over the tracks of more
than one company within the city linn
its, in order to reach its final deStina-
ton, then the company first switching
such car shall receive the entire charge
to be made therefore, and shall
be liable to the companies doing the
subsequent switching, for their share of
the compensation received, and if the
companies SO Jointly interested cannot
agree upon their share of the cOmpenSa-
ton then the same shall be determined
by the commissioners, and their
decision shall be final; by this law the
commission seeks to make one ROAD a
collector for the other roads, and con-
sequently the first road would be held
liable for any damage or loss sustained
by the property in transit, and by
the last clause, which makes
the commission the final arbiters, the
whole matter is brought back to the
same point at which it rested,
before the court decided that a
railway company could appeal from
all order of the commission to the courts
for final adjudication. At this point
court adjourned. The argument on this
matter will be proceeded with this
morning at 9 o'clock.

Minnesota gave that majority, as in
1854, the county of Rennepin contrib
uted 6,700 of it. Think of Hennepin
county giving 6,70O Republican
majority only four years ago! The
most Sanguine Blaineite that ever
breathed would never dream of such a
thing again. Also, to make that old
time majority, Ramsey county gave
Blaine LOGO majority, while now Ram
sey is a Democratic county by 5000
majority. The change in four years is
astonishing. 1t is not mere tluctua-
ton, but an actual change, due partly
to incoming voters, but principally to
an actual change of sentiment.
~
Thee same change is at work all over
the state, though in less marked degree.
1t is the result of several causes. The
election of Democratic president has
confirmed the Quavering faith of many
weakened brothers who have since
come out as rampant Democrats. But
the election of that president has
worked the greatest change among the
Scandinavians, who realized they had
been duped and cajoled and are resent
ing 1t at the polls. The leaVen is work
ing and the mass will feel it later.
M
Hennepin county feels the great
change most decidedly. Look at the
First ward, which Blaine carried in 1884.
Eighteen months afterward .Ames car
ried it by nearly 1,S00 majority, and now
1t is, with the Ninth taken from it, good
for for 1000 Democratic majority; Take the
Third anfSiXth wards, which, over the
bulwarks of Republicanism, are now
the banner Democratic strongholdS of
the city. Once the Fifth ward could be
relied upon for a Republican majority
of 1,5G0, but now it has Democratic
alderman, while one of its Republican
aldermen was seated by the slender
plurality of ninety-siX votes.
-
These are mere straws which show
the drift of public sentiment within the
past few years. 1t is said the fall cleo
ton of 1886 was the result of an off
year. 1t may have been, but the change
in Minneapolis has been steady and
enduring. Those gentlemen who talk
of an '.Old time majority do not realize
what that involves.

POLICE COURT NOTES.

The cOIored gamblers arrested by the
police Saturday night for playing
''craps," a dice game on which small
amounts are wagered, were before
Judge MahOney. Thomas Shaw, Law
renee Oliver, the proprietor of the place,
and Jesse Weathers were fined $50 each.
William Thompson, NJ. J. Keller, George
POunce, Henry Hartman, George Luce,
Ches Block, j. E. Stuart, Charles Green,
who were not playing, were discharged.
l.. A. Sheperd, real estate dealer,
was arraigned upon warrant charging
him with embezzling $1,000 from Mrs.
Mary A. Peaslee, the complainant. An
improperly drawn mortgage drawn Feb.
2, 1885, given together with note as Sc
curity for loan, is at the bottom of the
trouble. Shepherd gave $1,000 for ap-
pearance March 2.
Henry Hartman was held to the grand
jury. He was caught III the residence
of III. B. Waldran, 2O2 Fourteenth street
north, Sunday night, and had a neck
lace and other property he had evil
IDENTITY purloined in his possession.

The Board of Trade.

There was large attendance at the
board of trade yesterday morning, when
j. n. Mind, of the committee recently
appointed to investigate the work of the
board of health, reported that the prin-
cipal difficulty in the way of the eff
cheney of the board seemed to be con-
fiict of authority between the board of
health and the council. The report was
received and placed on file. Capt. John
Davis sent in a letter stating that it
would not be possible to let Minneapolis
men have $4,000 of the $4,000 capital
stock Of the steamer Minneapolis, to
run between Minneapolis and st. Louis.
He made another proposition, which
was to allow Minneapolis four-ffths of
the capital stock and the management.
But the time having passed in which
answer was to be made, the letter was
laid ON the table, and the board adj

WILL HE RESIGN?
A Rumor That Rev. Mr.. Gates
Will Leave His Church.

It is probable that Rev. F. T. Gates.
of the Central Baptist church, will re:
sign his pastorate in the near future.
He has been invited by the trustees of
the Pillsbury academy to undertake the
financial management of that i'll
stitution, and raise the $4,000
to meet the conditions of the
gift proposed by Hon. G. A.
Pillsbury. Mr.. Gates is extremely
popular with his parishioners, and it is
extremely probable that he will not be
allowed to resign without vigorous
protest on their part. Mr.. Gates is now
visiting his parents in Kansas, and
will, no doubt, decide upon what course
he will pursue while absent from the
city. Rev. NJ. MoSher is at present oc-
eupying Mr.. Gates pulpit.

A $5OO.OOO Dispute.

The persons holding title to Kenwood
are not at all pleased to find that their
right to the land is to be disputed. 1t
seems that In 1857 Nelson Stoddard, who
then owned the land, placed mortgage
upon it. This mortgage was never
lifted, and the present title is founded
OH a foreclosure made in 1870. 1t ap-
pears now that Mrs. Stoddard did not
JON her husband in making the mort
gage under which the land was sold,
thus invalidating the document and
rendering the foreclosure null and void,
and affecting the present title. The
property is valued at 100000.

the Authority


ter Cholera, Now That He Has
the Authority.
The action of the city council last
Friday in adopting the recommendation
of the committee on health and hoSpit-
ais, THAT the board of health be author
lied to put forth every effort in its
power to protect the city from
disease or epidemic is likely TO result in
great benefit to the public. Winter
cholera has been epidemic in Mime
apOlis for the past Two months, and it
was estimated at one time that 10000
people were suffering from it. \ num-
Der of deaths have resulted, and in
many other instances prolonged sick
ness, followed by great debility and
much suffering has resulted from the
disorder. Health Officer KilvingtOn,
rs soon as empowered by the council,
Instituted an investigation which is to
include careful research TO the causes,
symptoms. etc, together with the water
drunk and the general sanitary sur
rOundingS of the sufferers in order to
ascertain, if possible, the direct
cause of the malady for future
prevention. The council committee on
health and hospitals has shown itself to
be in full sympathy with the board of
health in its efforts TO improve the sani-
tary condition of the city, and prompt
and efficient action can be depended
upon now that authority has finally been
given.
Yesterday Health Officer Kilvington
secured the bodies, one of a man and
the other of woman, who died Sunday
of the cholera, and held an autopsy that
was conducted by himself and Deputy
Coroner Towers in the presence of DR..
Charles n. Hewett, secretary of the
state board of health; Aids. Cooley and
Morse, of the council committee on
health and hospitals: Deputy Coroner
Spring, and Doctors Goodwin. Highly,
DunsmOOr, Hunter, Beard, J. +. Moore,
McCullOn, ByrneS and Dunn.
Nothing resulted from either eXamin-
alton to distinctly mark the cause of
death. The organs were generally
found to be in nearly normal condi-
ton, with the pathological LESSONS being
the same that might be expected in in
Illumination involving the stomach and
alimentary canal. The viscera was re-
moved, and will be sent to New York
by some Of the most eminent patholO-
gistS in the country. DR.. o. =. O'Brien,
