Edward Reilly the Victim of Dew
ilish Malice Again.

Edward Reilly opened short but sue
cessful engage ment in Judge Emery's
court room this morning. Some three
weeks ago he was released from the
workhouse, and Immediately left the
city, but last night the mild weather
and the prospect of getting into some.
one else'S Overcoat were too much for
him, and he turned up again. For sew
eral years the authorities have been in
the habit of interfering with Edwards
vocation. They say his eyes are weak
and to prevent him from becoming a
star-gazer, and, incidently. to protect
other peoples property, he has been
kept behind the bars most of the time.
Edward is an artist in his line, and to
crafty his taste has the unpopular
habit of going into peoples houses at
night with dark lantern, to view their
art galleries. The police in trying to
discourage him in this pastime have not
had sufficient consideration for his sem
sitive nature and have hurt his feelings
sometimes when he has effected an en-
trance into house and stood enwrapped
in admiration before picture, holding
a pair of pants in one hand, and in the
other his little lantern. the police have
been too demOnstrative in recognizing
him. They have shouted at him, and
pounded his head with their bat0ns.
and disturbed his artistic ferver. For
these Interruptions he promises in the
near future to disembowel few OF
them. but will defer this for the present,
as he will break rock and perform other
light athletic exercise at the workhouse.
Edward in addition to being thief is
also adesperado, and dares do anything.
He is probably one of the most danger
He z goes up for ninety days.

thoroughly enjoyed by all the guests.
There was wine of all kinds for those

Transacted at the Meeting Yes
terday.
The council committee on claims met
yesterday and voted to recommend that
the city allow Samuel Johnson, injured
by falling tlmbers in the Eighth avenue
north sewer, $500 and physicians fees,
and thereby save the expense of suit,
which would certainly be decided in
favor of the complainant. The recon-
mendatiOn was made on advice from
City Attorney Russell, who had inveSti-
gated the case, ana said johnson would
accept the $500.
Robert Fisher, an eX-member of the
mounted police force, put in claim for
the 600 reward offered by the city for
the apprehension of the murderer of
Thomas TollefsOn. Fisher claims to
have been the first to direct suspicion to
Tim and Pete Barrett, and that he ar
ranged the evidence that convicted
them. The matter was laid over for
further consideration.
A bill for three fuel wagons for the

Clerk DAILY, of the municipal court,
presented letter regarding the famous

the contract was on precedent estab-
lished the year before, and closing with
the statement that there would be moth

men unacquainted with water as bev-
erage to pay the bill, but that such
could not be the hypothesis in the face
of the fact that there was large Re-
publican majority in the committee.
No action was taken in the matter.

TO WATER BRYN MAwR.
The Committee on Water Works
Says This May Be Done.

At the meeting of the council COM
mittee on water works, held yesterday
morning, the matter of water mains to
be used the coming season was dis
cussed. Some time ago contract was
made with the Addystone Steel and
Pipe company, of Cincinnati, o.. to fur
nish nearly 5000 tons of water pipe, but
now the committee on ways and means
has cut down the water improvements
20 per cent, or thereabouts. The COM
mittee was informed yesterday that the
company agrees to the reduction, but
want to know the exact amount they
will be required to furnish.
The ordinance granting Anderson &
Douglass the right to put in and MAIN
tain water system in Bryn Mawr
park was brought up once more, hav-
ing been materially amended SO as to
obviate the more serious objections
urged against its passage at the last
meeting, but certain aldermen are Still
against the ordinance and no action
was taken.
The question of whether or not to use
crude petroleum for fuel in the new
Shingle Creek pumping station was dis
cuSsed and the comm ttee voted to in-
spect the Brush Electric cOmpany's oil
burning plant. Later in the evening the
Bryn Mawr matter was taken up once
more and the committee finally decided
to allow the laying of the mains, the
city reserving the right, however, to
buy the outfit at any time the council
sees fit.

talking about last weeks blizzard as

few years ago that started out from
Blizzardsville on the Hastings " Da-
kota division of the Milwaukee and
struck pace of 191 miles to the hour.
One man lost his breath in it aid it
was never found. 1t blew SO hard that
the atmosphere was changed to that
color. If any one disputes this have
the documents to prove it.

the Torrens system of land registration
was first adopted there, and now the
single-taX system is to be given trial
in its provincial government.
\. L. Ankeny-The Lucas lien law
W unconstitutional. and its provisions
in talation to garnis Inn ents were i'm
practicable. The mis- take of having a
certain number of days wages exempt
from garnishment should not be made

The morning meal should be given
the fowls as soon as they fly down from
the roosts.
With good care and management,
after they are hatched, as fine poultry
can be raised from the incubator as
from the setting hens.
If good laying hens are wanted, Sc
lect the eggs for Matching from hens
that have proved their good quality.
On the farm for practical purposes.
the Pekin is the best breed of duck to
raise. They are Of large size, goOl quail
ity. and are easily managed.
There is considerable difference, even
with geese. between the common and
the good bloods. Embden or Toulouse
geese are much larger than the common
ones, and will avail things considered,
a much better profit, whether kept for
feathers or raised for market.
From now until the grass has made a
sufficient growth to supply green food
it will pay to provide cabbages, turnips,
onions or some kind of vegetables. Chop
up fine and give feed once day.
To keep the hens laying now they
should have comfortable quarters, be
fed regularly, have warm, dry nests and
he kept reasonably free from vermin Of
all kinds.
1t is not a good plan to mate all the
breeding hens too early, especially
when there is considerable number of
young stock, or until the Steadiest and
best laying hens can be determined.
From now until spring chickens be-
gin to come in freely prices for nearly
all kinds of poultry will be good. 1t is
a safe plan to select out all that are un-
desirable and sell them.
The advantage in using loose straw on
the floor of the poultry house is that it
is easily cleaned up and the hens
scratching among it will get exercise.
On the farm it is economical and clean
and can be readily supplied. 1t should
not be allowed to remain NOre than a
week without renewal.
A bad fright is as bad for the hens as
dogglng for the milch COW.
If you buy new poultry keep. them to
themselves for few days. Contagious
diseases are sometimes avoided it this
is done.
It rarely pays to feed condiments.
The reaction generally leaves the
bowels in a worse condition than be-
fore. Healthy, nutritious food is the
best.
In proportion to it's size an egg con-
tains larger proportion of food than
any other material.
OF the large breeds of chickens the
light brahmas are among the best. They
grow rapidly, are large, healthy. good
layers. aud make good marketable
fowl. Another advantage is that they
are easily kept in.
Many fail to obtain the best results
with their fowls simply by neglecting
to exercise good Judgment in the selec-
ton of the breeding stock. This is
fully as important an item with poultry
as with any other class of stock.
Coal ashes and wood ashes with saw
dust or dry soil. equal parts, will make
a good dust bath. 1t should be changed
occasionally in order to keep clean: Put
in box and set in corner of the
poultry house where it will keep dry.

WHAT'S UP?

The Hennepin District Judgeship
Bill Suddenly and Unexpectedly
Checked.
The failure of the legislature thus far
to pass the bill providing for two new
judges for Hennepin county has stirred
up something of feeling among Min
nneapOlis attorneys. and some Of them
are not at all slow in expressing them
selves. The bill passed the judiciary
committee and the committee of the
whole all right, but came to sudden
ending in somewhat mysterious way.
When the legislature adjourned last
week the bill was designated as the
first thing to be taken up Mon
day morning. When Monday morning
came another bill was taken up and
passed. tuesday morning an attempt
Was made to get the bill introduced. but
it was given out cold that the legisla-
ture was too busy to consider it, Be
this as it-may, the action of the legisIa-
ture has called out considerable COM
ment, and some attorneys have even
gone SO far as TO assert that the bill
would probably pass if it were not
settled fact that Col. Hooker stood a
show of being made judge. The feel
ing that there is something crooked"
somewhere is gaining ground all the
time, and it is not improbable that an
, outbreak will soon take place. Said
well known attorney yesterday:
1.-The lawyers of Minneapolis are be-
coming somewhat disgusted over this
senseless delay, and great big kick
may be made. There is a niger in the
fence somewhere, and you can rest as
sured that certain influential persons
are controlling the actions of the legis-
lature in regard to the bill to
suit themselves. Things are be-
ing manipulated to suit certain
few. in favor OF one or two candidates.
Now, my plan would be for the bar to
hold a meeting, take ballot, and then
send the names of the six highest to-
Gov. Merriam, for him to make selec-
ton from. Or, if that plan does not
meet with popular approval, how would
it be to allow the Hennepin county bar
to select the two men?"

THE PRESBYTERIANs.
An Earnest Debate Over the Ques-
tion of Division,

The Presbyterian alliance met in the
lecture room of Westminster church
last evening. 1t was quiet, home-like
meeting. The ladies of the church had
provided supper during the evening,
and between and 1880 they fed
over one hundred people. After
their work was completed they
gathered in the lecture room With
the gentlemen. Hope mission, to which
the proceeds of the supper went, had
been greatly aided. and on the faces of
the ladies was the expression of work
we'll done. A number of the brethren
from st. Paul were present, and as the
meeting was called to order by Prof.
McLain the want of that rigldity which
too often prevails in church meetings
was marked. The question of the even
ing was the much agitated one OF the
DIVISION OF THE ST. PAUL
presbytery. 1t was stated as follows {:

Paul shall now be divided.'' Affirma-

Paul loves us clear to death. When
the rib was taken from Adam, he
made no objection, and it didn't
hurt him a bit, and he was always proud
of that rib after it was fixed up and just
so it would be with st. Paul and her
little colony up here at Minneapolis.
She would always be proud of it. Rev.
Campbell made very witty and at the
same time very earnest address. show

presbytery.
ON THE VOTE
of the meeting being taken, it was de-
cided that the other two speakers should
be called OH rather than have the ques-
ton discussed by the audience. There
was good deal of amusement over the
vote, and S. B. Williams was seen to
vote in the affirmative himself and
make his wife vote in the negative. AS
a divine was heard to say, "a division
of the house."
DR.. Burwell took the floor in favor of
division, and made rousing speech in
it's behalf. He started by saying that
he would like to talk on both sides Of
the question. In regard to the preSby-
terry having more weight when their
delegates went down to Philadelphia he
didn't think it made bit of difference
whether it was large or small presby-
terry. 1t was the size of the man above
the eyes that made the difference.
HIS SECOND ARGUMENT,
he said, was a sentimental one. In re-
gard to dividing from st. Paul he
thought the two presbyteries would
think even more of each other than the
two divisions now did. Then he spoke
of the ladies' objection, and said he did
not think that the ladies need divide.
He thought the church could do ten
times the work if the division was
made. When Rev. BurreA took his
seat it was manifest that he had carried
his listeners with him. Thomas Coch-
ran, of the House of Hope. st. Paul,
spoke with the feeling strongly against
him, but when he was done with a
most earnest appeal. he had almost the
universal sentiment with him. He said
it was divorce and not colonization. He
dwelt mostly Oh the harm to come from
division, as division. The cities were
to be one IN less than score of years,
and the presbytery should remain un-
divided. He said if the ladies and God
be in favor of the unity, he thought
they had the majority. A vote of
thanks was extended to the speakers.
after which Mrs. Van Cleve spoke
earnestly
AGAINST THE DIVISION.
