The Abandonment of Lyndale
Boulevard Meets With a Check.

The Abandonment Of Lyndale
Boulevard Meets With a Check.
The park commission held short
session yesterday afternoon at which
little business of importance was dis
cussed. Attorney lockwood reported
to the board that there was no provision
in the park act for the abandonment OF
a boulevard park. He thought Lyndale
boulevard might be abandoned safely if
the council should consent to rescind its
action surrendering the street to the
park board and resume jurisdiction
there, and the park board should rescind
its action designating the street boule
ward, but he thought it best for the
board to await legislative authority be-
fore taking any action. The report was
filed.
A bill, sS5.3S, was presented from the
county auditor for writing up the de-
scriptiOnS for the assessments on the
Ninth ward park. The bill was allowed
and the board went into desuitory dis
cussion of the auditors compensation
for keeping track of these assessments.
Mr.. BOardman thought the auditor got
a good many whacks at the assessments
before the board got through with them
and suggested plan to prevent the
board assessing it's funds all back into
the hands of the auditor.
Commissioner Hougan was appointed
committee to confer with the other
interested parties in regard to the
Thirty-siXth street crossing.
Aid. Bradish addressed the board in
behalf of the Ninth ward, asking for
some improvements in Washburn park.
He thought $4,000 should be expended
there for flowers, shrubbery, etc. The
park at present he thought little better
than COW pasture.
There arose question whether there
was anything due the Ninth ward park,
and the secretary said he was preparing
statement which would show the
facts. Mr.. Boardman moved that the
committee on improvements be in
structed to visit the park and deal liber-
ally with the park.
DR.. Folwell suggested that it was a
good time to vote some Improvements
for the Second ward park. Commits
sioner HOugan made personal explain
alton of his connection with the commit
tee on Improvements; which, he said,
had not been active because he looked
for the return of MIR. Loring. Mr..
1ngonhutt said there was no intention
to reflect Oh the present board, but in
past years, he complained, the Ninth
ward park had failed to obtain improve
ments even after they had been ordered
by the board in resolutions.

John Sauer sat alone n the criminal
court room at the district court yester-
day afternoon. People wondered why
he was not watched. for they didn't
know that Senator W. D. Washburn
was furnishing bail for him. His trial
for stabbing Julian Zywort was a Sec
Ond time finished. Before, he had been
found guilty and sentenced to four
years in Saltwater, but the supreme
court had allowed him another trial,
and now he was waiting for the jury to
bring in a verdict. The jury was an
nounced. and as Judge Hicks came in
and took his seat, and the clerk, an d
then the deputy with the jury, the old
man fidgeted in his seat and looked
anxious.
"Have you agreed upon verdict"
1--WE have.
The clerk handed the paper he re-
ceived from the foreman to the Judge,
and the judge, glancing at it, handed it
back.
The expression on the countenance of
the accused grew painful as the sen
tence was read, and when the words
"find the defendant guilty of assault in
the second degree" fell upon his ear,
look of horror went over his face.

morning at 10 o'clock. for sentence"
came from the judge and the old man

more day of freedom.

they swing the long arm and crane
round over the shore. A man standing
at the front of the boat works tackle
that throws open the bottom of
tue shovel, and the earth is landed.
The machine works very rapidly,
and in the course of day
deposits 1000 square yards Of
lake bottom on the shore. 1t is manned
by crew of four men, Foreman Young,
from Chicago, being in. charge. When
the channel is cleaned to a depth of
twelve feet as far at the arm can reach
in front by means of steam spuds fore
and aft, the heavy beams are pulled
from their muddy resting place and the
boat moved forward. This leaves a
channel twelve feet in width to the rear
with ridge of mud thrown up on either
side. The shovel deposits not only the
queer peat-like earth formed almost en-
tirely Of fine roots, but all manner of
water vegetable and animal life, and
once in while floundering pickerel is
landed on the shore. The water is
filled with the queer checkered water
lily roots that are dragged up from the
bottom.
After a Channel has been completed
about the shore of this bay the central
portion will be removed by means of a
tramway and hand cars that will de-
post the soil wherever it is desired.
THE GENERAL. PLAN
of improvement is to dredge the whole
lake to an average depth of fifteen feet.
When it is considered that in most
places the lake is only a very few feet
in depth and that there are but three
places in all its extent where the water
Is over fifteen feet, the magnitude OF the
undertaking tina tthe park board have
shouldered is better understood. There
are three small portions of the lake,
"blue holes" they arc called. where
the water is thirty-fve feet in depth.
In all other portions the earth is to be
lifted from the bottom and used to fill
up the tracts of marsh about the shores
and in enlarging the two islands. The
larger island. lying out in the lake, is to
be Increased to about twice its size.
IN IT'S PRESENT CONDITION
it is wooded jungle, closely matted
with underground, over which the
spreading limbs of larger trees make as
dense growth of foliage. The mass Of
green is very beautiful as seen from the
boulevard extending about the lake,
but is Of no further value to the park
system. So with the enlargement of
the island, it will be cleared into an
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-06-02

open grove, the added portion being set
with trees, to conform with the
original island, and this is to
be picnic ground, sequestered
spot within few steps of main ave-
nue. OF the city, shut away from what
has become metaphorical as the ''city'S
turmoil" by the waters of the lake.
The other island is to be enlarged also,
and driveway about the island will
connect it with the shore, being a
branch of the boulevard system. This
will add considerable area to the land
of the park, and make the water clear
and deep. A portion of the soil will be
used in building drive to connect the
boulevard system of the lake with that
of Lake Calhoun, and this will throw
the three lakes in immediate cOnnec-
ton.
A great deal has been said of the
beauty and extent of this system OF
driveways and parks, but too much can
not be said. Its extent, its natural
picturesque beauty, through the natural
woods, skirting lake shores, crossing
romantic streams, and in view OF the
most splendid rivers, about fern-cov-
changing landscape, constantly growing
more beautiful through the energetic
work OF the city, over which Minneapo-
lis people can drive on their holidays
from now till old age, and on each drive
find enough that is new to keep them in
wondering admiration.
The kenwoOd Boulevard is now near
ing completion. This furnishes most
picturesque drive throughout its whole
extent from the place itleaves Hennepin
avenue, near the Central park, to the
Lake of the Isles. Not only is it Dor
dered by lawn that will be kept in
perfect condition, and trees that will in
full extent, but double row of gas
lights at frequent intervals will illumi-
nate it by night. This is the avenue
that will lead by the happiest way to
the lake.

Some Specimens of Amateur
Photography on Decora-

Amateur photography has become an
epidemic, or more properly speaking
fad, in the East and it has spread with
more or less fatal effects into the prov
inces and beyond the Mississippi river,
into the states which are just getting
ready to be born. The time is not far
distant when the craze will have so far
developed that the camera will become
family necessity like the bootjack and
hobby horse. The young scions of the
rural flocks will carry to school COM
bined camera and dinner basket, and as
they frolic gayly through the meadows
will gladly subs titue the wild and inof-
fensive negative for the positive shock
they used to give birds with the deadly

ter process than the present, but it will
be in the fashion, and that is what
should count. To men the camera will
not be less useful. l will help to while
away many a weary hour while waiting
for the next car. It will enable citizens
to obtain indelible impressionsof the can
didate's physiognomy before and after
election. The dude will in course of
time carry camera in the head of his
cane and take lightning views of the
premiere danseuse in to him 'schawm-
ing" positions. "by Jove." There is al
ready talk of winter camera, heated
and lighted by electricity for tobog-
gaming parties.
The industry is still in it's infancy,
but is developing daily. One of the
strong signs that the fad is lasting
one is the popular prices that are be.
ginning to be put on cameras. In this
city, for instance, where there are
about 200 amateur photographers own
ing their apparatus, camera can be
purchased for from $40 upward and TOW
cameras for children can be had for 81.
There are OF course a number of chean
instruments sold, and the lady or gen
tleman who goes into amateur phOtOg-
raphy will probably be foolee once be-
fore they get the right article. The
principal cameras in use at present are

are prepared and inserted as in the
time-honored photographers camera.
This one holds four plates at time. 1t
is comparatively easy matter to work
it, as the plates come already pre-
pared. The art of photography has
been wonderfully simplified since
amateur photography became in ameas-
ure necessity through the popular de-
mand for instruments. The little de-
tective camera is simply square black
box with tense in front, glass in the
top, simple arrangement to gauge dis
tances and trigger. The operator
turns the Tense upon his subject, knows
by the reflection in the upper glass
when it is in the center of the lower
tense, pulls the trigger and the picture
is taken. The development in the dark
room has been corrcspondingly simpli-
fed. The old, complicated process of
solutions has been reduced from eight
or nine to two. Still there is good
deal of study and work required to
make good picture, and the beginner

Speaker Graves Assumes Respon-

County Surveyor Dahl has at last re-
ceived an answer to his inquiry of
Speaker Graves as to who introduced
the county surveyor bill. Mr.. Graves
wrote from the Hotel Bartholdi, New
York, under date of May 16, and MIR.
Dahl received the letter yesterday af-
ternoon, showing something. off about
the mail service. The speakers note
which completely exonerates MIR. Dahl,
is as follows:
T. NJ. Dahl, Esq.-Dear Sir: Ireceived the
bill from the county surveyor of ST. Louis
county, thought it seemed a proper bill, in
troduced it, had it referred to the appropriate
committee, and it passed both houses with.
out my looking after it at all, seeming to
meet the approval Of everybody. I never
heard from you in reference to this, or any
other BILL during the session. 1t is strange
that the house or senate committee old not
find out If the bill went too far. In our
county it seemed necessary as bad SURVEYS
and no monuments have made great deal
OF trouble. Very truly yours,

ing his little detective camera Oh the

goes joyously to the field in the early
morn, and will be able at night to tell
him just how many motions it took him
to pick up the hayfork. The farm wife
will plant self-acting cameras in the
barn yard and thus fool the proud Cocl-
in China hen who thinks to hide her
nest. If the camera shall prove such a
boon in the country. what wonders will
it not work in the city. The condensed
snake colored camera will, in time, sue
coed the ordinary handbag such as la

worked by means of cords. When
all is ready the executor pulls the cord
parting the main circuit so that this
branch, of which the dog is part. is
the only avenue for the current, and it
passes through him like flash. and in
less than second from the time the
cord is pulled there is no spark of life
in the dog. The other cord is pulled in
stantly, throwing the current back over
the old line. This is known as the dis
ruptive effect of electricity. 1t ruptures
the muscles of the heart instantly and
stops its action. In fact, it ruptures
every muscle fibre and nerve of the
body.

DEMURRER ovERRULED.
A Cause for Action Against Fanny
Davenport for Libel.

The action for libel of Lotto and Will
Jams aga inst their star, Fanny Daven-
port, came up in court yesterday on a
demurrer of the defendant to the COM
plant, as not setting forth cause of
action, and Judge Smith overruled the
demurrer. He held that the actors
showed no discourtesy in refusing to
accept half pay, and from the evidence
theirs actions could not be spoken of as
dlscourteous and ungentlemanly con-
duct, and that Miss Davenport, in
branding them as guilty of such, might
be found guilty Of libel. 1t is under
stood that the case may be settled with
out coming to trial.
James Shearer, the actors attorney,
says that the two men have as yet been
unable to sign with any company for
next season. and they lay it all to Miss
Davenport's action in Minneapolis.
He says also that but three of the COM
pany that played last year with the
star have signed with her for hext.

The heavy working of the engines. the
big lever bears the shovel through the
soft mud and water to the surface; it
swings round over the shore and With
splash leaves some forty square feet
of the alluyial deposit of past centuries
high and dry to form the lawn for the
Minneapolis park system.
For thirteen days past the black boat
has worked its way along the shallow
channel on this side of the Lake of the
Isles, slowly remedying the only thing
that keeps the island-dOtted lake from
being the most beautiful of the trio
that cluster together in the southern
suburb of the city. The lake is very
shallow, and the swamp grass and
weeds grow above the surface of the
water, spelling its beauty, and making
boating almost impossible. Besides
this there is much of swamp adjoining
the shore that is of use for nothing in
Its present condition.
The park commission bought these
i60 acres of land and swamp and water,
at cost of S37.907. Last winter it was
decided to dredge the lake, and about
$4,000 was expended On the boat, en-
gines, etc. Since the ice left the lake a
crew of men have been building the

aud how it is running perfectly, and
has.five years of work, at the least
count. before the lake is put in the per-
feet condition that is intended. But
each month Of work will add to the
beauty of the lake.
When the boat was completed day
was spent in crossing the lake to the
bay where the work was to begin. The
raft-like vessel is some seventy feet in
length by twenty-f five in width and five
feet in depth below the water, and is
dragged through the water by means OF
its engines.
HOW THE DREDGE WORKS.
Running in near the shore of the
shallow bay, it was anchored by means
of three beams, two at the front and one
at the rear of the boat. They are TWEEN
ty-five feet in length and sink into the
soft mud their full length by their own
weight. When the vessel is thus
securely fastened by means of a
lever, the long crane with the immense
shovel attached drops from horizontal
position into the lake and plungeS with
splash to the bottom. Two engines
work the reel that winds the heavy
chain, heaving the shovel through the
soft earth till it is clear of the bank.
BY another lever the other set of two
engines are thrown into action, and
