Dick Halves, of Birmingham, Ala,
has been found guilty as he deserved
to be. So fendish murders commit
ted without provocation, the victims
being his harmless wife and children,
and the murderer the lowest of foul
mouthed, pimple faced rakes, was
too much for the jury. But Halves
may yet be long way from the gal
lows, although Judge Green has SEN
fenced him to hang on July IL We
should not be surprised to see a strug-
gle for a new trial, because, perhaps,
some word was spelled wrong in the
indictment, or because some iuryman
winked ct a spectator or took chew
of tobacco on the wrong side of his
mouth during the course of the trial
Justice is in hard luck these days,
and she must not consider this job a
snocess till the trap door falls from
beneath Halves feet.

Extracts from the Weather-C Crop
Bulletin of the Louisiana Weather
Service for the week ending Saturday,
May Is:
The rainfall of the 18th and 10th
was general throughout northern and
western Louisiana, being heaviest in
the northwestern portion.
The cool nights prevailing were
detrimental to the growth of cotton,
otherwise, prospects are quite fatter-
ing in the northern parishes, cotton
being all chopped out and swept up.
There is some complaint from lice
in cotton in Bienville parish.
In the central portion of the State,
covering Rapides, Avoyelles, Pointe
Coupee and surrounding parishes,
there is a decided complaint regard
ing the lack of rain fall and cool
nights.
In the southeastern parishes it is
reported that irreparable damage will
be done to all crops unless rains oc-
cur during the coming week; that
one-third of the cotton is not up yet
and that that up is very bad stand;
that vegetatation generally is at a
standstill or retrograding.
From the southwestern parishes it
is reported that the rice crop will be
complete failure unless rain comes
soon and that a large percentage of
the rice has not yet been planted
owing to the fact that the land can
not be worked. From the sugar
region proper reports are that the
cane continues to suffer from the
drouth-plant cane more so than the
stubble.

The increase in the number OF
cotton manufactures in the Southern
States since the census of 1880 shows
very strongly that the section in
which the raw material is raised will
ultimately also become the section
where it's manufactured for use. In
The last nine years, it is estimated,
that the number Of cotton factories
Ia the South has been doubled; and
In the LAST Eve weeks fifteen cotton
companies have been organized with
. capital stock of nearly $4,000, 900.

City Fathers Decide the Steel
Arch Bridge Must Be
Finished.
The Potter Ordinance Provid-

Agent Defeated.
A Penalty Provided for Viola
lions Of the Underground
Wire Ordinance.
Report From the Railroad
Committee on the Cross
ingS Middle.

At the regular meeting OF the city
council yesterday it was decided that
the old suspension bridge must come
down, and the contract for the compile
ton of the steel arch bridge was award
ed to the Wrought Iron Bridge COM
panv, of Canton, o., at a cost OF
So. ISL. The matter was brought mp by
a recommendation from the committee
on roads and bridges, who presented
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the contract for building
the superstrueture of the remaining half OF
the steel arch bridge be and hereby is award.
ID to the Wrought Iron Bridge company. OF
Canton. o., at the price bid by them, W.,
ISL. and that the proper city ofncerS De ara
are hereby directed TO execute q contract
with said company for doing said work,
provided that the said company accept the
conditions provided for i'll the specifications.
The committee recommended that 80
per cent of the contract price should be
paid the contractors upon cOmdletl0n or
the work, provided no payments should
be made prior to July /, 1890, ana the
balance of the money should be paid in
January. 1891. President johnson, who
represents the East side advocates of
the bridge, took the floor and made a
the contract at once. He said that the
lowest estimate for repairing the steel
arch bridge was SlS,000, and it would
then only last for ten or twelve years.
1t was also necessary to keep watch
man there, and his services cost the city
$500 year. If the SIeela rch bridge were
completed his services would not be re-
Quired, and in his Judgment it would be
economy on the part of the city to com
plete the new bridge rather than to re-
pair the old one, especially as $4,000
had already been expended in piers for
the new structure.
Aid. Hansen, of the Eighth ward.
made his maiden speech in opposition
to the scheme. 1t was sharp, caustic
and to the point and came very near
creating sensation. In the course OF
his remarks he said: 1.-THE engineers
all say that the iron work of the bridge
is in firSt-claSs condition. That some of
the woodwork needs replacing no one
will deny, but. after it had Served all the
purposes for which it was intended, it
was suddenly discovered that it was de-
fective. Money is needed in other
places. and needed badly, and it is not
in keeping with retrenchment and re-
| form to build this bridge now" Dr..
Hansen explained afterwards that he
Intended no reflection upon any city
official. On the call of the yeas and
nays the contract was awarded to the
Wrought Iron Bridge company by the
following vote:

THE CROSSINGS CASE.
The Committee on Railroads
Makes a Report.


Makes a Report.
After a long consideration the COM
mittee on railroads to which was re-
ferred the matter Of the proposed COM
promise between the city, the Manitoba
and the st. Louis Railroad companies,
submitted a report which was unani-
mously adopted. The report as adopted
recommends that the city agree to
modification of the present judgments
so that the judgments shall embrace
the plan of the Manitoba company so far
as the change in the approach at
Washington avenue and the removal of
the st. Louis track is concerned, with
the notifications suggested by the COM
mittee. If compromise cannot be ar
ranged, or an order of the court OBJ
tanned, SO that the Manitoba plan as
modified can be carried into effect with
out further delay, the city's plan as en-
braced in the judgments be carried out
as soon as the right can be secured
either by compromise or the final dispo-
sition of the case now pending.
The plan suggested by the committee
includes the bridging OF Washington
avenue the full width of the street, and
the widening of the alley on Third ave-
nue. north to forty feet, to allow pass
age for teams into the freight houses.
The committee also reported that they
had considered the request of the peo-

NO PURCHASING AGENT.
The Aldermen Propose to Order
All Supplies Themselves.

All Supplies Themselves.
Alderman Potter called up under the
head of unfinished business the ordi-
nance introduced by him on Oct. IA,
which provided for the appointment by
the council of person to be designated
as purchasing agent, at a salary of
s.. 900 per annum. The duties Of the
agent, as defined by the ordinance, re-
Quired him to purchase all supplies re-
quired by the different city departments.
TO guarantee faithful performance of
his duties the purchasing agent was re-
quired to give bond of $25,000. The
ordinance was given its second reading.
and no amendments We're suggested to
any of its eight sections. Before vote
could be taken on the passage of the Or
dinance, Aid. Ingenhutt secured the
floor.
81 am opposed to creating a new Of
fice," exclaimed the alderman. I'VE
have thirtY-nine purchasing agents now.
and no man of common sense will say
that one man can do this work better
than the thirty-nine aldermen can.
There's something wrong with this
thing somewhere. / have been ap-
preached by a man who wants this Office,
and he told me that he would give S2O,-

aldermen will attend to their committee
work as they should do there is no need
of purchasing agent. / move to lay it
on the table,"
Aid. Potter protested against the at
tempt to Introduce gag law into the
meetings of the council, and called upon
the members to allow fair discussion
of the question and to vote the motion
to Law on the table down. Aid. lngen-
hutt's motion was lost by an Overwhelm-
ing majority.
Aid. Potter made a strong plea for the
passage of his ordinance. He declared
that if a proper man were selected for
the Office he would save his salary a
dozen times over in year. He pointed
out that it was a practical step In the
direction of retire nchment and reform.
and cited the fact that all the railroad
companies and large corporations had
found it profitable to employ such an
officer. Aid. Ingenhutt opposed the
| passage of the ordinance as useless
expenditure of money, and Aid. Phillips
said that while he was in favJr of al
lowing the heads of the different de-
partments to purchase their own sup
plies, he was opposed to creating such
an Office as was contemplated. The
ordinance was defeated by vote of 10

Free Lane indorses j. Ellen Fosters
action in boiling the partisan w. c. I.

been for MeKusick. the chairman Of the
committee on temperance legislation in

An evening paper, which is dead set

Mrs. Fosters course is calculated TO de,

The news has reached Minneapolis

Southern Democrats 70 give minor
offices, such as constable and justice or
the peace, to the negroes, and a scheme
is on foot TO form cOlOred Hill club in

tested. The movement promises to be
a strong one The Republicans say
that it is only bluff to get few places

Very few of those who have listened
TO the testimony IN the COLON case
think that it will result IN a conviction
of the defendant. The prevailing opin-
ion is that he will be acquitted. al
though few think the jury will disa-
gree. At the same time the opinion
prevails that Mr.. Blaisdell will never
be held liable on the notes. Unless the
creditors conclude 10 take COllom's

there is no doubt that long and costly
litigation will follow.

is tried on the five indictments the value

Threatened Her Life.

Martha Wells has begun an action for
divorce in the district court against
Clarence II. Wells, her husband. Mrs.
Wells is a young lady of twenty-one
years and her husband is twenty-nine.
They have been married but about a
year, and it seems that their mar
ried relations have not been
happy. Mrs. Wells claims that on
several occasions her husband has
accOsted her on the street with threats
of shooting her. She claims that he is
an habitual drunkard and is cruel to
her. She asks for the custody of their
child. and prays also that she may take
her maiden name of Martha Kuhkle.
The case will probably be contested,
and will be Interesting, as the parties
are well known in MINNEAPOLIS.
