JOEL BASsETT's CREEK.
The City Council Will Take the
Kinks Out of 1t.

The council committee on roads and
bridges transacted large amount OF
business yesterday afternoon. The
most important matter that came before
it was Aid. Potter's suggestion for the
Strengthening of Bassett's creek. Aid.
Potter presented the engineers plan
and secured the approval of the commit
tee for it. 1t contemplates straighten-
ing Bassett's creek from street to street
from Western avenue to Third street
north. From Western avenue to Sixth
avenue north it is proposed to run the
creek under Dupont avenue. The
engineers improvements this year con-
template an intercepting sewer along
that avenue which will be at depth of
probably thirty feet. The plan is to put
in the sewer and run the creek in the
same trench nearer the surface, and
plank the street over all. This work,
with the necessary piling, will cost
about Sc, 900 fol the creek, but it will be
much cheaper than to condemn land
enough to straighten the stream across
private land. From Sixth avenue to
Third street the creek will be despoiled
of it's magnificent eccentric curves, and
made to draw off the back water SIM
ply. The improvement is looked upon
by the North siders as second only in
Importance to the bridging of the rail-
road tracks, as an aid to North side de-
velOpment: and the Ell tire cost, about
$1,000, will be easily paid o ut of the
surrounding land, which will receive a
much greater benefit than the assess
ment will amount to.
The committee will also recommend
that the streets asked by the park board,
namely, Superior, fremont and Grove
land asked by the park commission for
boulevards be granted for that purpose.
A petition for the opening OF Fourth
street, from Thirtieth street to Mary
street. was granted, and another for the
opening of Dupont avenue, from Second
to Sixth avenues north.
The appraisers to award damages and
assess benefits on the right of way for
the bridge over the tracks at Ontario
street into Bryn Mawr, had long con-
ference with n. f. Griswold and others
interested in the Monitor Plow works,
who object to the building of the bridge
where it has been located. The site
takes corner of the pillow works lan0
and the Monitor people claimed it would
he an unsightly incOnvenient structure
stuck in the air at that point. 1t is
probable the bridge will finally be
located on the next street, Erie. where
the approaches are shorter and the OBJ
JectiOnS less vehement.
The railroad committee will have
meeting to-day to discuss the crossing
compromise. The railroad companies
will be represented.

TOM DOWNS BOILER.
The Committee Investigates the
City Hall Explosion.

me Committee investigates the
City Hall Explosion.
The special committee on Tom Downs
boiler explosion met in joint session
with the standing committee OH public
grounds and buildings at the city hall
last evening to finish the investi
cation of the mysterious event that
caused such wild commotion in the hall
anG woke up the policeman on the cor
ner only few short weeks ago. The
same witnesses who were heard at the
previous meeting gave their testimony
for the benefit of the company
on p. e.. & b., and then the
body went into executive session and
was delivered of the following report:
1--WE find the following facts: 1. That
the boiler was in perfect condition
previous to the explosion. 2. That the
explosion was caused by the building OF
a fire under the boiler when it con
tanned insufficient water. 3. That the
water was in at the time. 4.
That the fireman could find out at any
time how much water was in the boiler
by trying the valve between the boiler
and the water glass. 5. That the en-
gmeer has full charge of the boiler and
all attachments and employs his own
assistant and fireman. 6. That there
is no positive evidence to show
that any person had tempered
with the boiler. although the committee
believes such to have been the case.
We find, also, that the engineer was
derelict in not reporting previous to the
explosion circumstances which lead him
to believe the boiler had been tempered
with before, and that the accident
could not have happened except by the
gross neglect of the fireman. We
recommend that the engineer, or his
assistant, be required to be continually
at their post when the boiler is in use.

iDally before Judge LOchren, and Mr..
Cooley made no defense. The judge
granted the divorce and allowed ali
mony in s. a week. Mr.. Cooley de-
cided he wanted to make q defense in
the case and paid down SIS to his wife
before the trial could commence, yes
terday morning. He had filed cross
bill OH the ground of cruelty, claiming
she kicked him in bed and
scratched him, and other ways be-
haved unseemly. Mrs. Cooley claims
her husband did not furnish enough
fuel to heat the confectionery store in
which they resided on Central avenue,
and that he did not provide food. She
also charges him with criminal intimacy
with other women. This woman is
Cooley's second wife, and his step
daughter testified against her. She
says she knew her first as sewing
woman and domestic at her fathers
farm near Excelsior, where they
formerly lived. She stated that she
lived with them during the winter, and
that the charges made against her
father were false. and that she had
finally left and went back to the farm
with her brother because her step
mother treated her and her father so
meanly. The trial will continue this
morning.
The Babcock divorce case dragged
weariSomely on before Judge Smith
yesterday, and will probably consume

conduct of her husband. She had
eighteen marks against him for staying
away from home nights. She claims
that he has been criminally intimate
with Mrs. Bird, living i'll the Sldle
block.
Elizabeth Bertheaume has begun ac-
ton for divorce from her husband,
EXey. They were married in Wright
county fifteen years ago, and as the
plaintiff is but thirty years old at pres
ent, she must have been mere girl at
the time of marriage. The complaint
is that for thirteen years the husband
has been drunken and treated her
cruelty, at one time driving her from
her home at night, compelling her to
sleep in the woods. He also las de-
serted her and the four children, for
two years past adding nothing to their
support.
Emma Berth wants a divorce from
George Berth, her husband. The COM
plant states that he deserted her ten
years ago, and has not given her any
thing for her support in that time.
Flora E. Trasher is also complainant
for divorce. Her husband, Philip ii.
Trasher. she claims, deserted her in
December of 1SS4,.a little over a year
after the marriage. She asks for the
custody of the child.

THE MOTION DENIED

In the Action of the Pacific Bond
holders Against the ST. Louis
Road.
The motion made by the Central
Trust company of New York, trustees
of some of the bondholders of the Pa
cific division of the st. Louis road, that
the receiver of the road be ordered to
pay the interest due to Oct l, 1888, was
denied yesterday by Judge Young,
stating that the trial is set for June II,
and that it is not right to raise issues
that must be adjudicated at the trial,
also that the motion would form pre-
cedent if granted, and that other bond
holders would have similar right to
make motions for the payment Of inte-
rest on their bonds. The bondholders
claim that the interest up to October
amounted to S41, 900.

AGENTS OF THE DEVIL.
The Sunday School Workers Have
a Little List.

The county Sunday school convention
held it's session yesterday morning in
Plymouth church, with rather small
attendance because of the threatening
weather. The programme of the day
was. however, carried out. The three
minute reports were very interesting,
but not so fully as was desired on ac-
count of the absence of MANY dele
gates. The committee on nomination
of officers presented the following, who
were unanimously elected to serve for
the ensuing year:
President, J. Z. Bell; recording secretary,
D. S. Frackelton; statistical secretary, G.. A.

Willis A. James, George W. Mayhew.
Nathaniel Mccarthy, the treasurer.
presented his annual report showing
total receipts of S764.17 and disburse-
ments s750.66.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION
was devoted to papers on 1.-The Model
Superintendent" and "Model Teacher"
with discussion. j. B. Macarthur pre-
sented the latter, DR.. G. M. Bailey
the former topic. At the conclu-
sion OF the exercises the committee
on resolutions presented its report, re-
solving: o. That proper observance
of the Sabbath is essential, and pro-
nouncing against its dissertation by
Sunday excursions. amuSements, etc.,
and denouncing these as agents of the
devil; q that the study of the Bible in
the home is important and the Sunday
school suffers by its neglect; 81 that
the use of lesson leaves in the class is
detrimental, and they should be substi-
tuted by the Bible.
Mr.. Cleriheuw moved the adoption of
the resolution but full-bearded
brother on the other side of the room
ment passed including the Sunday
newspaper among the agents of the
devil. The convention readily agreed
to this. and the afternoon session of the
convention adjourned.
IN THE EVENING.
The first part of the session was de-
voted to an experience meeting, which
was expected to give lessons to carry
from the convention. The address of
the evening was given by DIR. McKaig,
of the Hennepin Avenue M. E. church,
who spoke to the effect that the Sunday
school was not doing the work in bring
ing the young people to CE-;st that it
should be doing. He gave instances
showing that very few were
converted directly through the in
fluences of the Sunday school. He
said that the second great joy in the
Christian experience was in bringing
some one else to be converted. Then
the convention with the idea of urging
with more emphasis the work among
young people.
Bishop Fitzgerald was also-down for
an address. but, being out OF the city,
did not appear.
After vote of thanks had been eX-
tended. to the secretary. and reporters
for the full reports, the convention
broke up.

Donald. Collections on subscribed
stock were made to the ex-
tent of several hundred dollars,

LOCATING BRIDGES.
What the County Commissioners
Are Doing About 1t.

The county commissioners, it is
thought, will decide to locate the Min
nesota river bridge at Bloomington
Ferry. They spent Tuesday in search
ing for the best location and while they
will not decide till Monday, the gem
eral sentiment seems to be for that To-
cation. They inspected the river from
McLeod's landing to Bloomington
Ferry on the Hennepin county side, and
from Hamilton's Ferry down on the
Scott county side. The bridge is to be-
an iron draw bridge and will cost $685.
600. The Cedar avenue bridge is to be
built this year, and will cost 100000. 8
The commissioners who were to award
and assess damages in the building of
bridge over the railroad tracks on
Ontario avenue. decide it would be bet
ter to have the bridges on Erie avenue.
This would necessitate an entire change
of front.

To Sell Cow Juice.

| Dairy Commissioner Howard says
dairymen are kicking because the new
law fixes the license fee at 81. They
want it higher, so as to freeze out men
who keep only one or two COWS. He
says, however, that the principal idea
in licensing them is to give each a num-
Der, so that he can be located when
wanted. The law will be enforced to
the letter, so he says, and the dairymen
who threaten to peddle without licenses
woR't do so long.
