Under the head of unfinished bust
ness Tom Downs moved to take up the
matter of the appointment of man to
take charge of the city scales. The mo-
ton was carried, and the report recon-
mendlng that Rufus Roberts be en-
ployed in that capacity was adopted.
Later the old disagreement over Rob-
erts, the city scales, the weighmaster
and the committee on public grounds
and buildings came up once more,
and after adopting the report
of the committee above men
toned. whereby Mr.. Roberts
was placed Ill charge of the scales the
the council INDUCED in something very
like a disgraceful wrangle to decide
whether the scales should be under the
supervision of the sealer of weights
and measures or the committee on pub
lie grounds and buildings. After vast
ing half hour of valuable time over
this point of national importance it was
finally turned over to the sealer of
weights and measures.

Browning, King & Co Cannot Get
the Site Wanted.

1t is probable that the firm Of Brown
King q Co., the big Chicago clothing
firm, will not erect 100000 building
in Minneapolis as was anticipated, ow-
ing to the failure of the agent,
A. B. Coe, to secure the de-
sired location. The firm wanted a
corner on Nicollet avenue, between
Washington and Sixth street, but up to
date have not been successful. The
firms holding leases of the property
around the corner of Fourth street,
where the Warner block stands. wanted
some $125,OO0 for the leases alone. Mr..
Warner wanted $3.50, 900 for the property
alone. and the firm was not willing to
take it, along with the leases, at that
price. The men holding property fur
Their down the avenue would not sell.

Maggie Mitchell, the actress, now freed
from domestic bonds through the invoked
aid of the divorce court, was first married
nearly thirty years age to a romantic
young fellow near Washington. She was
a child yet, under the finger of maternal
control. although, even at that time, well
started toward success upon the stage,
Young Wallace, the fortunate, or rather.
unfortunate swain, was first an occasional,
and then a more than occasional, com
panion Of Maggie upon her daily eques-
TRAN ramblcs, and before the parents of
the young actress even suspected any in.
tiinacy, so the gossips say, Miss Maggie
informed her mother that she had been
married, and On that morning. At first
the matter was treated as a joke, but
when the fact received serious considera-
ton the crazy girl was disciplined by a
b7lef period of solitary confinement in
her room, followed by constant espionage
and all possible precautions to keep the
twain apart. The maternal wrath pre-.
vailed, contrary to usual romantic story.
and although the ceremony was in fact
performed, the marriage was never CON
sumated.

The report Of the board which Investigated
the pension office at Secretary Mobiles order,
has been made public
The examination covered the months of
December, 1888 and January to July incu-
sive. 1889 Ii found 1880 cases had been re-
rated in that period, showing steady increase
each month. the result of which, if continued,
will be to readjudicste and rerate very
large per cent. of cases in the admitted files.
The report continues: The theory or rule
which the office claims to follow in the adjud-
icstion of cases for re-rsting is that of mani
fest injustice, in the original or former rat
ing But the inspection of accompanying
exhibits shows that the action in large ma
jority Of cases was the result of mere differ
ence of opinion from that which governed
the original or former adjudication.
The report gives many illustrations TO show
this and also quotes decisions of former sec
rataries. laying down rules which should gov
ern them. The number of cases cited in the
report are shown to have been indorsed either
b, the commissioner or his former secretary
George B Squire.
The Forty eight Hour Case" the report
says seems 10 have been understood not
only to he an hour for fn.l action in 4s
hours. but an order for final favorable action
When the practice of issuing these orders
originated. the board was unable to state,
but it bad an existence covering the entire
period of investigation The practice of
taking up cases out of the regular order for
action or adjudication. that is. of making
them special, is one which in our judgment
should be INDUCED very sparingly.
