THE CROSSING CASES.
Justice to Attorney Cross-A Bit
Of History.

In reviewing the famous railroad
crossing cases of the city against the ST.
Louis and Manitoba roads, the GLOBE
on Sunday last was unjust toward Capt.
Judson N. Cross in assuming that de-
lay had resulted through blunder of his
in not making the st. Louis road
party to the Manitoba suit. The
cases are so long and complicated that
it is almost impossible for one who has
not followed their course throughout,
backed by little legal information, to
thoroughly understand them. 1t is suf-
ficient for that point, however, to say
that the fact that the Manitoba company
was not sooner made party
to the st. Louis suit was be-
cause the evidence which made it
necessary was not taken while Capt.
Cross was conducting the cases, but
arose after their conduct had passed
into the hands of Judge Smith. The
latter official uniteS with members Of
both bench and bar i'll cOmplimenting
in the highest terms Capt. Cross course
throughout.
1t will be remembered that Col. Ben
ton and Judge Lochren, who preceded
Capt. Cross as city attorney, were OF
opinion the city had no recourse against
the railroad companies in this crossing
matter, and that it was useless to begin
all action. However, Engineer Rinker
prepared plans for viaduct,
beneath the tracks at Fifth street,
and Capt. Cross began actions
against the two companies. Writs were
served on each, the St. Louis answering
and the Manitoba moving to quash; the
latter was sustained by the court and
Capt. Cross appealed. The supreme
court enunciated principle, in decid-
ing the case. that was in the city'S favor
and established the city's right. With
this knowledge, the council decided
to 60 in for bridges over the tracks at
the four streets; the suits already
begun were dismissed and new actions
instituted. Capt. Cross had proceeded
with these when his term eX-
pired and Judge Seagrave Smith
was elected. The former was retained
to assist in the cases and they have
carried them along to their present
status. A great complication was
caused by the crossing war between the
two roads, and new turn was taken
when it was discovered the st. Louis
tracks at Washington avenue were not
upon ground owned by that company.
This resulted in making the Manitoba a
party to the suit, which is now
progressing. The principles of law
have been defined in the cases, and the
important points now are findings of
fact. 1t is believed the city will ulti-
mately score complete victory and Sc
cure all the bridges, with great credit to
Judge Smith, Capt. Cross and Engineer
Rinker.

SEWERS AND BRIDGES.
Aid. Kerr's Ordinance Discussed
Bridge Contracts Let.

bridge COnCraCCS Let.
City Attorney Smith was yesterday
closeted with the council committee on
sewers, the subject of the conference
being Aid. Kerr's ordinance, which
gives the committee the power
of appointing the city engi-
neer's assistants and the employment
of laborers. 1t is understood the city
attorney is of the opinion that the char
ter gives the engineer authority to ap-
point his assistants, but advised that the
ordinance might be so amended as to
give the committee general control OF
the sewer workiwithOut interfering with
the engineers prerogatives. rhe COM
mittee meets again this morning at 10
O'Clock for further consideration. The
committee on roads and bridges ap-
proved the letting of the contract for
the building of the superstructure of
the Lyndale avenue bridge to the Can
ton (Ohio) Bridge company for
S195.75, and of the substructure to the
Minnesota Stone company for Sc, 1897 Is.
The committee will recommend that the
commissioners report favorably on the
opening and extending of Thirty-eighth
avenue north, from Second street to
Terxes avenue, and Franklin avenue,
from Tenth avenue south to the river.
The city engineer was instructed to
make plat for the opening of Thirty
second avenue north, from Second street
to Penn avenue; also the opening of
Fourth avenue south, from Thirty
fourth to Thirty-elghth streets, and re-
turn the same to the council for ap-
proval.
Aid. Erwin wanted to know why the
committee did not report upon the
Broadway extension, and it was agreed
that the matter should be brought be-
fore the council Friday.

STILL SCEEMING
Over the Court House PlanS--Will
Wait for Absentees.


The court house and city hall COM
miSsioners met yesterday morning and
announced, when the doors were
opened, that it had adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman, which meant
it had decided to await the return of
John G. Oswald and D. M. Clough be-
fore making decision. 1t is not
necessary to wait for these two mem
bers, but under cover of cOur-
tesy it has been decided to
do so, both sides to the present con-
trOversy expecting to gain the advant-
age. The GLOBE on Sunday announced
the order in which the expectant
architects were placed by vote of
the commission. This was denied and
contradicted, but remainsa truth, never
theless. w. II. Dennis & Co., of Min
neapolis, stood first; M. E. Bell, Chi
cago, second; E. E. Meyers, Detroit,
third; Long & Keyes, Minneapolis,
fourth, and Alexander Murrie, Mime
apolis, fifth. The only question now
is whether Dennis or Bell shall
the former except Gen. Washburn, who,
it is stated, wants to pay a political debt
by booming Bell. This claim has be-
come quite general. 1t is also said Com
missioner Ericsson opposes Dennis for
the purpose of creating a diversion in
favor of Long and KEGS, who gave him
favors Oh the public library building.
The commissioners would at once
award the prizes without selecting a
permanent architect but for the possible
complications, and but for little scheme
which proposes combination of plans.
Some of the architects have SAID their
plans are not to be the property of the
MS even if they fsae DO get dren PTze
view of it. Action will now give place
to Schemes, as it will be three weeks be-
fore Senator Oswald returns from North
Carolina. When he and Senator Clough
returns there is little doubt that home
architect will receive the award.

Erin who do not belong to organizations
that are to appear in the

200 and it is likely to be largely in
creased. A meeting will be held to-
night at 80 Washington avenue south to
perfect further arrangements. The

A STUPID BLUNDER
Which Bungled the Visible Sup
ply Statement and Knocked the
Mark cts.

Which Bungled the Visible Sup
ply Statement and Knocked the
Markets.
The week opened with steadiness in
the wheat and -four markets, the North
western Miller will say, but the next
day the government published its March
statement of the stocks of old wheat Oh
hand, together with details of the
amounts in farmers possession, at i'll
terror elevators and in movement be-
tween the farmers bins and consumers.
making the stocks very much greater
than last year. While this was a Seri-
Gus error, known by all well posted
grain men to be so, and though since
reported corrected, the effect was to
further depress prices. 1t turned what
promised a bull market to bear mar
ket. The real statistical position in
this country fairly warranted the eX-
pectation of some improvement, but
the government figures, being given
under such high authority and of
fetal, carried with them force
enough to break down all opposi-
ton. The flour markets had begun to
work out for themselves firmer posi-
ton, in both domestic and foreign trade.
The gain was not so much in higher price
obtained as it was in renewal of con-
fidence in values and increased demand.
During January there had been some
accumulation of flour held here, which
was melting away under the improve
ment. With correction of the error
now, there is hope of the future, but
time and money were lost by the stupid
blunder.
Since Monday the water mills have
been seriously hindered by low water
and ice, and the output will be affected
somewhat thereby. Fifteen mills are
in operation, with another to start to-
morrow. Eight of the number are using
steam. An early date is looked for,
stopped. and also when q number of the
mills now in enforced idleness by reason
of low water can again resume work.
The water power began to improve
year ago at this time, and there is no
reason for not looking for as early an
improvement this season.
~
There was quite a good demand for
-four during the closing half of last
week, ocean freightS declining so that
millers were able to sell freely for eX-
port at fairly satisfactory prices. The
decline in wheat has caused lighter buy
ing, though there is steady inquiry
with a moderate movement, the foreign
market being the best. Values for ex-
port are somewhat shaded on account
of lower rates, but mlllers generally
hold quotations firm Oh Eastern busi-
ness. The direct exports of flour last
week were 81, 800 barrels, against 51,S00
the week before, and 1O2, 500 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1887. The
size of the latter was due to large ship
ments of stored flour to relieve col
lapSed warehouse.

The Famous Lease.

The receiver of the Hennepin Avenue
theater, Ralph Whelan, appeared before
Judge Hicks and asked that the order
of the court, instructing the receiver of
Sackett & Virgins to sell the
leasehold interest of said firm
on Saturday next, be rescinded.
He claimed if such sale took place at
that time it would complicate matters
and injure the sale of the theater prop
erty. The court continued the matter
until tomorrow, so as to give all parties
interested a chance to present their
views on the subject.
