has developed on the West side, dozens
of new buildings being planned and in
course of erection. A $4,000 store
building on lot 4, block 1S6, on Dakota
avenue, will be built by A. M. LawtOn.
A $4,000 block of similar character is to
be commenced at once on Isabel street,
for which DR.. Beal will furnish
the needful. The Martin opera
house will, according to the present
plans, be completed by August, and the
Lawton block, on Robert street. will be
ready for occupancy about the same
time. The Beifield block, Oh South
Robert street, to cost $4,000 at the es-
Inmates made before the commence
ment of work, Will, 1t is found, cost
nearer 100000 before being completed.
The foundations are already in, and
work will be resumed on the structure
shortly. On Prospect Plateau twenty
new residences can be counted on two
streets alone, all of these being far adj
vanced toward completion. E. Stras-
burger, the Dakota avenue architect,
said yesterday that, so far as West st.
Paul is concerned; prospects were
never better for lively building boom.
menced as yet," he said, and his Office
is besieged by people anxious to OBJ
tain plans for buildings. A prominent
West side merchant expressed the
opinion that the construction of
the proposed State streetBroad-
Bridge would have beneficial effect in
settling the flats, and that he knew
from personal conversations with whole
sale merchants that they favored the
idea of a low bridge from the oppor-
tunities it would afford them to build
warehouses on the flats, where they
could obtain lands for the purpose
much cheaper than in any other locality
in the city.
Statements having been made by
Well-knOWn contractors in this city to
the effect that the Delos street bridge
had been built on an entirely false
principle, and that the removal of the
supports would result in a grand crash,
City Engineer Rundlett was interviewed
yesterday regarding the matter. Mr..
Rundlett said: 1.-The reasons for leav-
ing the supports under the arch until
now are valid enough. 1t is usual in
all heavy masonry work of the kind to
allow plenty of time for the cement
to become settled. The statements
that the bridge will not stand
are not true. l am aware
that the building of bridge on the
lines of the Delos street structure was a
somewhat bold departure from the Or
thodoX theories regarding bridge work,
but am perfectly satisfied that the
bridge will stand, and stand for very
many years. The reason the supports
that Paul Martin is going to eXcavate
for an opera house building in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the abutm ent, and
[ thought it wise to allow the supports
to remain until that work was COM
pleted, as it might weaken the bridge.
AS soon as the excavations for the
opera house are completed, | shall
order the supports taken away" q
A series OF uncanny yells and Shrieks
broke the stiffness on the flats of West
st. Paul, Monday night, and, on investi-
CATION by Sergeant Haupt, were found
to proceed from the shack occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Quinlan, couple
who have become notorious for the
vigOr and frequency of their domestic
disagreements. When the officers en-
tered the house the unfortunate wife
lay on the floor covered with blood,
which flowed from numerous scalp
wounds, while her husband stood near
ready to repeat the dose if the PROSTATE
body showed signs of returning ANNA
ton. Qulnlan was Summarily yanked
to the DucaS street station, and when
taken before Judge Cory was sentenced
to threee months at Fitzgerald Manor.
Fred Hooklnson, young man from
Red Wing, got into trouble on East
Winifred street with man named
Stetson, whom he had picked up in a
Seventh street resort. Stetson had i'm
bibed too freely at the other fellows ex-
penSe, and then, picking quarrel, pro-
ceeded to thump him into acquiesence
in his views. Hookinson was muscular
and got the best of the encounter. Stet-
son was arrested.
ton, received an order from Chief Clark
