THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT.
DR.. Campbell Withdraws His Res
ignatiOn as Pastor.

Last night, according to the call issued
on Sunday by Rev. S. M. Campbell, of
the First Presbyterian church, his
flock gathered in the lecture room of
the church to take action Oh
his resignation. Rev. Daniel Stewart,
the former pastor of the church,
acted as moderator OF the meeting.
Mr.. Campbell reread his resignation,
which, in brief, is that he thought he
was growing too old to do the most
effective work, and on that account
resigned. the resignation to take effect
the last of June: After he had read
the resignation he retired to
the study to await the action
of the church. A motion to refuse to
accept the resignation was carried. DR..
Campbell was notified of the action. and
came before them again to repeat his
request that they accept.
On his retiring this second time the
members showed no more willingness to
accept than before, and for an hour or
more endeavored to contrive some
means by which they might express the
fact that they would not accept in some
other way. Motions of various kinds
were made expressing the sentiment,
till a good many of the members did
not know what they were voting for,
and division was called for several
times. A second time the resignation was
rejected, and a second time the good
doctor requested them to reconsider.
Then, when the matter had become
pretty we'll muddled again, some
thoughtful man struck upon the happy
thought of moving to request DIR. Camp
bell to withdraw his resignation; this
was seconded by some score of voices.
and carried with a strong voice and no
dissenting vote.
DIR. Campbell was notified of the ac-
tion and acquiesced to the request. The
announcement was greeted with hearty
applause, and after the benediction had
beeu said the members gathered about
the old gentleman, expressing their joy
at keening him with them

ADJUSTMENTS. A

Ragged Jack" set the large audience
at the Peoples theater last night wild
with enthusiasm. dragged Jack" is a
those exciting incidents which are de-
manded of a play of that character.
The railway scene In the second act is
one of the most original and most
effective ever given in theater. In it
a locomotive is brought upon the stage,
and it is SO complete in every
particular that it seems as ii
it must have come directly from
the roundhouse. There is not a
pipe or valve missing. In size and pro-
portion and construction, it is the
counterpart of those used on the rail-
road. The fire scene in the third act is
one of the most realistic ever seen on
the stage. Richard j. Riley as Ragged
Jack found his way into the good graces
of the audience before he had been on
the stage five minutes, and before the
play was over he was an immense
favorite. He gives remarkably
clever portrayal of the bright.
witted. good-hearted newsboy, and
the artistic manner in which he blends
edy is remarkable. John Ray made
most decided hit as Pedro. Mr.. GOSsin
gave very strong and very good por-
trayal of Tom Dalton, the detective,
and Edwin Ferry gave most excellent
portrayal of Jim Trainor. Little Edwin
Haskell, who took the part of Maj.
Hush, gave the cleverest performance
he has ever given in Minneapolis. Miss
Kitty Void is naive and dainty Nellie
Dalton, and Miss Clifford very good
Mrs. Dalton. The specialties pleased
the audience immensely.
Dan'l Sully opens at the Grand
Thursday evening, and will give Thurs
day and Friday evening performances
and Saturday matinee.
The Apollo Glee club will repeat to-
night, at the Grand. its lively burlesque

An Incompetent Youth Who
Was Chained Up Like a
Wild Beast.
DR.. Campbell Prevailed Upon
to Withdraw His Res
ignation.
Ten Coaches Ordered by the
New Herdic Company
Yesterday.
Twenty-Five Candidates for
Appointment as Health
Inspectors.

Henry Miller, siXteen-year-old boy.
was yesterday ordered to be taken to
the school for incOmpetents at Faribault
by Judge Won Schlegel. The judge
gave the order on the testimony of q.
d. Holt, secretary of the associated
charities. The story of the boy is pc
culiar one. He lives with his father
and mother at the old stone tenement
row at the corner of Eighteenth avenue
south and Thirty-first street. Weird
stories are afloat in Sonth Minneapolis
that the boy has been tied with ball and
chain and is ferOciouS as any wild
beast: but this is one of the ghost sto-
ries that soon grow when there are out
ward appearances to warrant it: and the
nearly empty old stone building with
its broken windows and doors, is fit
place to feed the imagination of the gar
rulous passer-by who has by nature
vein of the gossip.
While the boys condition is not so
bad as this story makes 1T out to be it is
bad enough. When three years old,
while Swaying back and forth in
swing he went into SpaSm, and falling
out struck on his head. Physically he
has not seemed to be injured, but since
that time he has not spoken an intelli-
gent word. He is now as big as man
and wonderfully developed about the
body and arms. He will eat little
but meat, and so has been fed
on it till he is almost like beast with
a thick heavy neck. Knowing no other
way of keeping HIM, his parents, who
are hard-wOrking people, have shut him
in the upper story OF the house, and
there he has lived for years, with no
company except when his food is thrust
in TO him. His apartments have
had screens fastened at the
windows, and the bed is nearly
the only furniture. He has an
iron cham to play with. and this he
winds about himself and sings from
one end OF the room to the other. He is
constantly active, never standing or
sitting still when awake, but like
Gagged beast strides about the place,
stopping to rub his head in the
mattress or his body against the
wall, and then go on again with
his wild freaks. He never lets
his eyes rest OF any one for an instant.
He is clothed merely in a rough shirt.
And this is the way he has lived all his
life, just like brute; with no lights at
night and no fire in his room in winter.
He is about at all hours of the night,
humping around in the dark, pounding
on the window and rattling his chain.
When fed he grabs the food in his
hands, and it disappears down his
throat like magic.
He will have to be taken to Faribault
in carriage, OF in separate apartment
in the baggage car, as he would raise
an uproar amongst passengers.

mouth Church.

The Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeavor of Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church held their semi-annual
meeting last night in the church
lecture room. The chairmen of
the various committees reported
the progress of the society
in it's various branches during the last
six months. These were all indicative
of good work having been done, es-
pecially in case of the missionary and
relief committees, which showed very
large amount of work having been ac-
complished in all parts of the city. The
report of the treasurer showed the so
ciety to be out OF debt, and with small
balance in the treasury. An instru-
mental duet by Mrs. John A. Greer and
Miss Carrie l.. Gorgas was the first
musical selection, recitation by Miss
Maud Colgrove, a piano solo by Miss
Arnold, and vocal duet by Miss Nellie
and Miss Fannie Stevens were also
given. This part of the evenings exer-
cises was especially enjoyed.
The following officers were installed
for the coming six months: President,
Fred S. Shepherd: first vice president,
Sarah l.. Arnold; second vice president,
j. D. Woodruff; treasurer. A. A. Crane:
corresponding secretary. Jessie Lar

The council committee called yeSter-
day did not do much work beyond the
allowance of claims. The fire depart
ment and salaries committees met and
agreed to recommend the old schedule
of salaries for members of the fire de-
partment. The printing committee ac-
cepted the Evening Stars former bid
for printing the official proceedings of
the council, 80 cents an inch down the
column.
The special committee OH investiga-
tion of the boiler explosion will meet
again tomorrow evening at the request
of the committee on public grounds and
buildings, whose members claim to have
some important evidence to submit to
show that the boiler had been tampered
with by outside parties. Unless this
evidence pans out, it is probable the en-
gineer and fireman will be censured.
The police committee will meet this
morning and wreslle with the bills for

The men have already been paid, Mayor

AN INJUNCTION ISSUED
Which Temporarily Blocks the
State Park Scheme.

State Park Scheme.
Yesterday morning when COmptrOl-
Ter CalderwOOd reached his Office in the
city hall, he was the proud pOssessOr OF
an injunction restraining him from
countersigning the warrant for 100000
drawn by the president and secretary
of the park commission to reimburse G.
c. Gale and E. NJ. Johnson for money
advanced to complete the transfer OF
the state park. The injunction was is
sued by Judge Smith OH the application
OF Mrs. Vinette Lincoln, and was served
on Mr.. CalderwOod as he stepped from
the train on his return from fishing
excursion to Buffalo. The injunction is
temporary, and is to be heard at the
special term next Saturday before
Judge Smith.
Mrs. Lincoln was one of the property
owners who were scoOped out OF their
land by the state park scheme. She
fought the appraisement in the courts,
and afterwards fought the bill in the
committee stage in the last legislature.
This is her last opportunity to prevent
the consummation OF the deal, and
through her attorney, Thomas Canty,
she means to try this last chance. The
SIOuuuS Oll WHICH, 1HC III JuuSelOA Woo
sought were constitutional, the claim
being that the state park created
a burden of taxation on the city
of Minneapolis. and impaired the
constitutional equality of taxation"
She affirms that she is the possessor of
real estate in the city to the value OF
$4,000. and personal property to the
amount of $50, 900, which will be unduly
taxed if the CITY apprOpriateS $1,000 to
pay for state park.
The only persons who seem to have
gotten into trouble by the injunction
are the gentlemen who advanced the
money OH their note to complete the
transfer. They did so because the city
could not do it, and the park board had
no power until it pushed bill through
the legislature empowering it to issue
bonds. These bonds were sold, and the
board last Saturday ordered warrant
drawn in favor of S. c. Gale and E. Nj.
johnson for 100000. 1t is this warrant
Mr.. Calderwood has thus enjoined from
cOunterSigning.

THE RAILtoAD CROSSINGS
Again Discussed by the Board OF
Trade With No Result.


Trade With No Result.
The board of trade held a special
meeting yesterday morning to listen to
the committee appointed to look after
what might be done in regard to Dridg-
ing the various railroad crossings in the
city. Though the committee was ap-
pointed last week with the idea of see
ing all the officials of all the railroads
and the city council and formulating a
general plan for all cases in the future,
It presented a report relating mainly to
the st. Louis road, the road whose Min
neapolis crossings have been the cause
of SO much trouble and contention.
The report, after setting forth the
evils of the present situation, urged the
city to accept the proposition of the st.
Louis road, aiding in the construction
of the approaches and bridges. This re-
port the committee expected to be
ADOPTED and referred to the city coun-
Gil. The committee is of the opinion
that liberal position should be taken
regarding the railroads and not an an
tagOnistic one.
Their report, however, did not meet
with general approval. j. b. Bassett
introduced some resolutions of his own
Louis proposition. The committee had
not. as had been expected, investigated
as to what the ManitOba'S position was.
Some thought that they w0old be will
ing to make a similar agreement with
the city as the st. Louis.
A. J. Blethen thought that the Mani
toba would not join in such an agree
ment as the st. Louis proposition, but
he thought that if the city accepted
that proposition it would form no pre-
cedent governing future cases.
President Wyman thought valuable
time was being lost, and opposed mo-
ton of Judge Atwater's referring the
report back again to the committee. He
wanted to see the city and the ST. Louis
road agree Oh a plan to get the crossings
properly bridged, and thought the Man-
itoba could be met amicably afterwards.
Ex-Gov. j. S. Pillsbury was of the
opinion that the matter should be set
tied right, or it had better never be set
tied. The Manitoba roads interests, he
Thought. were worth 100000 times as
much to the city as those of the st.
Louis road, and he believed in getting
plan wholly acceptable to it.
j. B. BasSett wanted the report re-
ferred to the committee on public af-
fairs, of which Gov. Pillsbury is chair
man, and Judge Atwater seconded him.
President Wyman and B. F. Nelson, OF
the railroad committee, were willing to
turn the matter over to that committee,
but urged the board to indorse their
action as far as it had gone.
After much discussion and desultory
conversation the report was referred
back to the railroad committee with in
structions to confer with the Manitoba
officials and be ready to report not later
than Thursday.
a resolution requesting President
Harrison to appoint practical North
western merchant or manufacturer on
the interstate commerce commission
was adopted.
A resolution indorsing the exposition
of the three Americas in 1892 was also
adopted. The board adjourned subject
to the call of the president.

PRESERVE THE RULES.

Hereafter if the aldermen who have
given expression to their opposition
stick to it, it will be difficult to obtain
suspension of the rules to rail
road ordinances and resolutions
through. Several matters have been
passed upon lately in that manner, and
The result when placed before the cOun-
cllmen in their true light considerably
astonished them, as they did not before
understand the significance of their
votes. Now several fathers have sworn
a solemn league and covenant against
the ''railroaders," and will suspend the
first man who wants to suspend the
rules.
