we very respectfully refer all doubtful
persons to the Minneapolis journal of
May 25, in which, in an interview,
Supt. Goodrich said thele were 101
things to be considered before the motor
could be changed to cable line.
We have not enough vanity to be
ready to say that the Introduction of
our ordinance during the period above
referred to made the change to cable
lines and the offers covered in Mr..
Lowry's communication practicable,
but we leave the decision of that ques-
ton to the public, who have so gener-
ously supported us since we made our
proposition. Respectfully,
ANDERSON Il DOUGLAS.

THE WIRE MUST GO.
Yesterday the Last Day for String
ing Overhead Wires.

Yesterday was the last day of grace
for the electric companies to string
overhead wires. The ordinance pro-
vides that after July 1st. 1889, no more
overhead wires may be strung, and
after Dec. LIST, 1889, all poles must come
down inside the fire limits. So far, few
of the companies have made any effort
to get their wires under ground, but the
trench is there and they have the right
to 60 into 1t at any time.

quite warm though their coats were off.
and to avoid any electric discharges the
subject was laid over.
The committee had previously de-
clined to pass a bill of Hunter & Scott
for plumbing, and putting washbasin

looking affair, for which Hunter & Scott
rendered bill of $1O1.1 Aid. Downs

no longer connected with the firm, which
now consists of his son Adam and Mr..

Amount From Rum Sellers.
Comptroller CalderwOOd begun yes
terday the issuance of licenses to Sa-
loonkeepers whose applications were
approved by the council Saturday.
Thomas Moore secured No. for his
Brunswick hotel bar, and twenty-seven
others were issued during the day. All
of the saloons that were refused
license were closed yesterday except
the bar next the Peoples theater and
the Comique saloon. License Inspector
Ray said they would be closed up. and
that will probably knock out the va
riety theater, which depends a good
deal for its crowd on the fact that
liquid refreshments and soul-destroy-
ing cigars are offered guests while the
young ladies on the stage flirt their
brief skirts and au revoir songs. Those
saloonkeepers who have obtained
licenses are not at all pleased over the
prospect of having to close at II O'Clock.
Twelve o'clock they consider pretty
early for business. but II O'Clock would
make 'the rum business" as they call
it. very gloomy as to profits. The new
ordinance is quite likely to pass, as it
was introduced merely to correspond
with the law of 1887.

the gentlemen over the main parts of
the Minneapolis system and explained
the method by which the lands were ac-

for improvements is raised. The Omaha
gentlemen were charmed with what
they saw, and expressed surprise that
the city had been able to do so much in
so short time. The Omaha park board
was organized few months ago and
has just begun to do something. The
public spirited citizens down there mean
to hurry up now and make up for lost
time by getting good park system

SHREWD FlRE-BUGS.

Band of Them, Responsible for Several
Incendiary Fires. Unearthed in Brooklyn
and Jersey City How They Operate.
New YORK, April 5.-A band of shrewd
fire-bugs has been unearthed by the Brook
Ign and Jersey City police. The band is
identified with baud of Chicago anarchists.
The members of it located in Brooklyn last
December. Several of them engaged small
stores in different localities, secured
all the insurance they could and
then set them on fire. The plan to avert
suspicion was to break a kerosene Oil lamp
to convey the impression that it was a lamp
explosion from which the fires originated.
The fire-bugs used bags filed with volatile
and benzine encircled with gunpow-
der to which a slow fuse was con-
nected The minute it touched the gun
powder the whole place would be ablaze,
and all traces of how the fire originated
obliterated The owners of the stores and
their families would be conveniently alb
sent on the occasion of the fire at some
other members house. This was for the
purpose of proving an alibi Since the
advent of the gang dozen fires have
occurred. The chief of the gang, Bernard
Blume, was recently captured at his home
on Porter street. Jersey City. In his apart
ments between two mattresses twenty two
bladders used by the fire bugs
were found. Blume was brought
to Brooklyn. Frederick Feight, Fred
erick Freund and Frank Dussing are now
in custody. The last named three have
been arrested in Brooklyn. The police are
hot on the scent of Others and more arrests
are looked for. Chief-of-Police Murphy, of
Jersey City, is of the opinion that the gang
is responsible for several suspicious fires
in that city during the past three mouths

SETTLERS SHOW FIGHT.

United States Marshals Bent on Evictln9
Des M0ines River Land Farmers Meet
with Armed Reslstance-Fired o. from
Ambush and Forced to Retire-Nobody
Hurt, but Further Trouble I'm Prospect.
Dies MONIES, Ia, April ga United States.
Marshal and posse were fired on Thursday
from dense thicket of hazel brush while
in the act Of evicting farmer named
Blake from the Litchield lands, better
known as the Des MOines river lands.
sixteen miles from WebsSer City. Probably
forty shots were fired by as many armed
settlers, but the craftsmanship was either
poor or the range was Intentionally wide,
for none of the deputies were hurt The
posse had number of writs, but as they
were only armed with revolYers they did
not attempt to serve them and retreated
in good order.
There were probably twenty or thirty set
tiers in the timber. The settlers have been
organizing all winter. They have what is
known as the River Land Settlers Union,
prepared for systematic action. They
are armed with Winchester rifles
and indulge in target-shooting daily.
They have sworn to resist all at
tempts at eviction and as the United
States marshals will do their duty regard
less of consequences, bloodshed seems des-
tined to result, Their system OF spreading
the news by telephone from town to town
and by carriers mounted on fleet horses Is
| well perfected. IT a marshal appears in
Webster City or Fort Dodge within an hour
or two the fact is known on every
section of river land in Webster and Ham
ilton counties, and every movement of the
marshals is watched by faithful spies and is
promptly reported. Last week number
of writs were served The marshals were
well armed and were frequently met
by squads OF men armed with
Winchesters, who ordered them to
desist operations and threatened to
shoot them down like dogs if they persisted
in their purpose. These men were nearly
always mounted on horses, and squads
circled round and round the marshals,
cursing and threatening them, but at that
time no shots were fired The part Of Ham
ilton County known as Hell's Hollow, where
the shooting occurred Tuesday, is very
rough and covered with scraggy tim
Der, with thickets in plenty. In early
times it was common resort for horse
thieves, and even in later years they have,
it is claimed, made it rendezvous When
the marshals reached this neighborhood
! the river-landers secreted themselves in
the timber and opened fire upon
them After evicting Blake the mar
shals started to return. They had pro-
ceeded about three-quarters of a
mile across the hollow when a regular fusil-
lade of bullets rained about them Branches
of trees were cut off and the situation looked
serious for awhile, but the attack soon
ceased The marshals concluded not to
go on with the work until reinforce
nents arrive and plan of operation is
agreed upon. Then the evictions will pro-
coed without delay The settlers are deter
mined and war on small scale will I'M
doubtedly result. Nothing will probably be
done for several DAYS.

New YORK, April 5.-Allard T. Sons, of
Paris and New York, are accused of carry
