COMMISSION ROW.
The Site Located---Nineteen Store
rooms Already Provided.

fOOlnS Alrcduy L FOViuCus
After waiting some four years on the
pr misses of the real estate boomers and
others to furnish them with a conven
iently situated row of stores, the pro-
duce exchange took the matter in their
own hands and have at this early date
already gained a location and contracted
with builders to erect buildings for
nineteen stores. and within very short
time the remaining six will be selected
in the same locality. The site chosen is
on First avenue north, near the corner
of First street. l.. f. Menage owns the
lot on the corner above First street and
between First avenue and Hen
nepin. On this site will be
erected block containing seven store
rooms. The two StorerOOmS above this
are owned by MIR. Hawkins and have
been leased also. Across the street
from this is space for nine more stores,
and there will be two new buildings
erected. Below First street on the same
side of the avenue is the long building,
owned by Mr.. Foster. This will be re-
nodded SO as to contain three more
stores. So there have been nineteen OF
the produce commission firms provided
for. and there is plenty of room in the
same locality for the rest OF the number.
The buildings are to be solid substantial
structures of stone and brick and will
add much to the metropolitan appear
ance of the locality. In this row Will
be transacted, it is estimated, 100000
worth of business in 1889. The new
location will be great improvement
over the place where now most OF the
produce merchants do business. as it is
centrally located and yet not where the
boxes and barrels and produce in gen.
eral. that necessarily gather in front of
the commission merchants place OF bust
ness, will obstruct the passage Of pc
deStrianS.

Serious Charge Against a Couple
of Junk Dealers.

Serious Charge Against a Couple
of Junk Dealers.
The case of the state against Max
and Louis Yoffhey. the junk dealers,
arrested some weeks ago Oh charge OF
receiving the lead pipe stolen from the
Franklin Steele building by lot OF
BOYS, was called before Judge Lochren
late yesterday afternoon. 1t will be re-
membered that about two months ago
a large number of complaints were re-
ceived at police headquarters that a
gang of small boys, residing in North
Minneapolis. were robbing vacant build
ings of lead pipe. Finally the Steele
building, on Washington avenue north,
was broken into and about $1,000 dam
age done. Half a dozen boys were ar
rested for the job. Soon after being
locked up they broke down and
stated that the Yoffhey brothers had put
them up to do the stealing, and had pur-
chased the goods from them. The boys
were all present yesterday and passed
the time in an anteroOm, smoking
cigarettes and discussing the attempted
escape of Pete Barrett from the county
jail. Their testimony was all given in
a way which showed that they were tell
ing the truth. One of the boys raised
laugh by stating that on one occasion,
when he and two companions went to
the building, they amused themselves
after tearing out few hundred dollars
worth of pipe by sliding down the ele-
vatOr rope, from the top OF the building.

A SMALLPOX SCARE.
4 Well Defined Case Discovered Yester.
day in South Minneapolis.
PROMPT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
The Family Removed to the Quarantine
Hospital and the Neiqhbors
Vaccinated.

Yesterday morning DR.. Kicker, of
Lake street and First avenue south. was
called to Mrs. Ethel Partlow, who had
been under treatment by another physi-
clan since Jan. 8 for trichinosis. She
had grown rapidly worse and yesterday
morning change of doctors was deter
mined upon. DR.. Kicker Immediately
pronounced the case to be smallpox,
and notified Health Officer Kilving-
ton at once. DR.. Kilvington
and DR.. Hunter visited the
patient and confirmed the opinion of DR..
Kicker. Mrs. Partlow was Immediately
removed with her husband and child to
the quarantine hospital. All the men,
bers of the family and all others who
had been directly exposed were vacci-
mated and quarantined, and all those
who had been indirectly exposed were
attended to in like manner before night,
DR.. Beard vaccinating about fifty per-
sons and DIR. Kilvington about thirty.
The health board ordered the city ply
siclan to vaccinate all city patients and
ordered other precautions which areeeX-
pccted to prevent the spread of the dis
ease.
DIR. Kilvington said last night that the
family Is very comfortably situated at
the quarantine hospital and the case,
which at its worst is mild one, was al
ready showing signs of improvement.
The woman is well satisfied with her
new quarters and the efforts made to
insure her rapid recovery. Fumigation
and disinfectiOn has been the order of
the day i'll all the houses where persons
known to have been exposed reside, and
all of them have been nuarantjnad The
board of health believe there is no
danger of a spread of the contagion.
DR.. kilvington thinks the spore of the
disease was brought from Renvllie
county, where there have been some
eases along the line of the Hastings Il
Dakota road. OH which Mr.. Partlow is
a brakeman, as is also the head of the
household which occupies the lower
floor of the house at 1929 Seventeenth
avenue south, where the victim of the
dread disease lived. With proper pre-
caution as to cleanliness and general
health there seems to be no cause for
alarm.

ATTORNEYS Are Pleased.

Judge Lochren rendered a decision in
the district court yesterday which will
be of interest to attorneys. When Mrs.
Barbara Luther obtained a Judgment
against George G. Campbell, for breach
of promise, creditor of Mrs. Luther
attached the Judgment for his debt and
had it sold by the sheriff. Upon the
day of sale Mrs. Luther's attorneys
presented claim for fees, and
the sheriff sold the judgment subject to
their lien. Campbell thought this il
regular and asked the court for man
damus to compel the clerk of court to
ignore the lien and satisfy the judgment.
Judge Lochren heard the matter and
promptly decided that the attorneys ha
valid claim on the Judgment and that
the clerk can not satisfy the same.

ALI SORTS.

Turnkey Kelly's GOODNESS; should
De preserved, as there may he failure
in the ice crop.
Such is fame. Dr.. W. t. Chase. who
has resigned as pastor of the First Bap-
fist church, will not be remembered by
his eloquent words or good deeds, but
as the first minister to wear swallow
tail coat in pulpit in Minneapolis.
The movement to do away with the
sacred and cherished institution known
as the police commission should be dis
cOuraged. 1t has its mission, and that
mission appears to be Investigation,
even at its own expense.
A far as the name goes the Mime

have swallowed itself.
A telegraph editor on the Evening
Journal will probably be notified to-day
that his services are nolonger required.
He wrote headline yesterday which
read, Superior TO Minneapolis" He
will be informed that the journal is
loyal to Minneapolis and her interests,
aud that no admission that there is any
thing superior TO Minneapolis will be
tolerated.
Now that the senatorial question has
assumed complex and uncertain
shape, perhaps F. F. Davis will consent
that his name may go before the legis-
lature in the interests of peace and har-
mony. When the gubernatorial fight
presented a somewhat similar situation
last fall Mr.. Davis did like act of self
sacrifice, and, perhaps, can be prevailed
upon to do so again.

The brand new city council has tackled
the street lighting problem, and it looks
as though the problem would come out
ahead, as usual. One of the serious
questions now presented is the neces-
sity of economy. Some of the lights,
like some people, appear to be afraid to
20 cut in the dark, and the tendency to
burn too much oil and gas must be
checked.

Joseph Murphy, the Irish comedian,
opened his engagement at the Grand
last night to large audience. 1.-The
Kerry Cow" a familiar play to theater-
gOers, was up and the piece went into
great favor with the audience.
Mr.. Murphy, as Dan O'Hara''.
the light-hearted blacksmith, was
as usual captivating. and in the more
dramatic scenes carried the house by
storm. The h0rSeShoeing act, while a
novelty, is 50 naturally engrafted in the
action of the piece as not to offend those
hypercritical. Miss Melville was excel
lent, as was the support. The Kerry
Cow will be the bill tonight. Tomor-

with beautiful scenery and panoramic
effects, will be given.
The sale of seats for the opera, "The
Kings Fool" will open Wednesday

ton in Chicago. The Conrcid English
Opera company will only stop in Mime
apolis while en- route to the Pacific
coast. The production here will be
under the personal supervision of Mr..
Conreid, and as the opera has never

thus conferred on Minneapolis.

THE TROUBLE BEGINS.
The New Council Committees Take
Up Their Work.

The new council committee gathered
itself together yesterday and looked
over the business which is before it.
Nothing was done except to recommend
that the city attorney be ordered to COM
mence suit against the Brush Electric
Light company to secure $500. This
is in payment of an obligation under
taken by the Electric company at the
time the city decided to replace certain
| gas lights with electric luminaries
and the Minneapolis Gas Light
| company naturally objected. The Elec-
trio company gave bond at that time
/ to pay any expense for damages that
the change might impose on the city.
| The gas company brought suit and got
a judgment for the amount to be sued
| for in the action to be brought as recon-
| mended by the committee.
| Some real estate people interested in
Kenwood and Bryn Mawr property
brought in long petitions, setting forth
/ that there was crying need of lights in
those two districts, and appeared per-
/ sonally before the committee to urge
/ the point. The new municipal daddies
| finally concluded to consider all petit
lions at future meeting and adj
journed.
The committee on ways and means
discussed the matter of putting some
money at the disposal of the permanent
Improvement revolving funds and con-
Guided to borrow 50.0Q0 from the water
board and issue $4,000 worth of per

matter of. the $4,000 worth of per
cent bonds. which Blake Bros, of BOs-
ton, refused to take, because the char
ter forbid their being sold at less than
par, was not taken up, as 1T is expected
that the legislature will attend to that
point in change in the charter.
The committee on public grounds and
buildings did little quiet caucussing
on the important office of engineer of
the city hall yesterday afternoon. but
adjourned until next Monday without
taking action.

The police commission consumed con-
siderable time yesterday afternoon in
listening to evidence in the matter of a
complaint against Inspector John p.
Hoy, charging him with using language
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman,
and one against Albert Gaia for ma
licious arrest. Both cases were con-
tinued one week. Nothing detriment-
al to Inspector Hoy developed in
the first case, and as CZaia'S man was
in that case except that Young, the
complainant, charged Gaia with sit
ting in his livery stable and reading the
papers while on duty. This grave
charge will be further investigated.
A motion to take up the investigation
of charges of dishonesty against Capt.
r. r. Harvey at meeting to be held
Wednesday next was passed.
Communications from Supt. Bracket
and Police Surgeon Kelly were
received, in which they called atten-i
ton to the fact that the giving of!con-.

thieyery, and that nearly all of the
seventy-five able bodied men who lodge

rather go to the workhOuse than not so
long as inmates of that place do nothing!
and fare as well as they now do. Supt.
Bracket recommended the making of
some change whereby prisoners at the

some hard work. The board concluded
to have Mayor Babb, Commissioner

Emil Ball, a drug clerk in the employ
of Druggist Hanson, on Cedar avenue,
was tried in the district court yesterday
on charge of selling liquor without
license, Patrolman Neuman, of the
Second precinct police station, being
the complainant. The poor clerk was
half scared to death, but denied most
emphatically that he had ever sold any
whisky to the officer. The case was
conducted by l.. NJ. Rand for the pris-
oner. and was uninteresting, except that
some rather tall swearing was done on
both sides. The case went to the jury
at 3 O'Clock A verdict of not guilty
was reached at $780, Ball was warmly
congratulated by his friends.

The suit of Mrs. Annie Skogland
against the Minneapolis Street Railway
company, to recover $4,000 damages for
injuries received, which has been on
trial for five days, occupied the atten-

day was spent in examining medical eX-
perts called in to prove that the acct
dent had deprived Mrs. Slzzegland of the
pleasures of motherhood. Some of the
words were summers, and even some of
the physicians stumbled over a few of
them while trying to pronounce them.
Judge Koon, for the railway company,
started in to sum up the case at

THE BATTLE OF SHILOH.
A Choir in a Northeast Minneapo-
lis Church Was Too Previous,

! Shiloh Presbyterian church, in North
east Minneapolis, presided over by Rev.
William R. Reynolds, is in peck of
trouble just at present, and considerable
hard feeling has been engendered. 1t
appears that Sunday before last there
was some trouble because the choir
began singing before the clergyman
was ready to go on with the services.
&. L. Dingman, superintendent of the
Sunday school, became mixed up in the
row in some way, and was ''fired'' from
his position. A large number of the
members of the chnrch took his part,
declaring that he had been treated most
outrageously. They then withdrew
from the church and will go elsewhere
to worship and wish for ''peace on
earth" 1t is claimed that Rev. Mr..
Reynolds is not so popular as he might
be on account of having some rigid ideas
of what constitutes Christian.
