TAILORS ARE TROUBLED,
They Take a Hand in Denouncing
the Street Railway Company.

The TailOrs' Protective Society of st.
Paul held meeting last night and
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, The city railway company of ST.
Paul has, by its late action in reducing the
wages of its employees to the starvation
point, manifested an intention to oppose the
cause of the laboring classes, and has re-
eelved on account of such action the merited
condemnation of all the trades and labor
organizations of this city and state, and the
condemnation of all men who believe that
the employer should receive only fair rate
OF interest on the capital invested, and the
employed should receive at least sufficient
sum to provide the necessaries of life for
himself and family, as a compensation for
the labor of his hands; and,
Whereas, We hear in the demands of our
fellow workmen the voice of justice, and be-
lieYe that only in perfect unity and hearty
cooperation on the part of all ''wage-work-
ersl' that the cause of labor can successfully
resist the encroachmentS of powerful capital
combinations which seek To increase their
wealth at the expense of the bone aud sinew
OF the laboring classes. Now, therefore. be it
Resolved. First-Tnat we. the Journeymen
Tailors' Union Of St Paul. in meeting assem-
bled, condemn the action of said railway
company as unwarranteQ by its financial con-
dltlon, and as evincing determination on
the part of its president and other officers to
oppose, and, if possible, to destroy all Or
CARNATIONS among its employees.
Second-That 1t is the determination of the
individual members of this union to with
hold from such company their patronage
during the continuance of its present attitude
toward its employees, and we call upon all
similar organizations, in the name of our
common cause. to do likewise.
Thlrd-That we pledge to the late en-
ployes of said company our hearty co-opera-
ton, and offer them such financial aid as the
demand of their cause seems to require and

eps Dance the German at

The Reynolds divorce case bobbed up
again yesterday before Judge Villas.
The hearing of closing arguments hav-
ing been continued from last Friday I'M
til yesterday morning, the judge heard
Hon. G. d. O'Brien for Mrs. Reynolds,
who brings the suit, and Judge Fland-
rau, kwho represents Mr.. Reynolds. who
is making an earnest contest of the case.
The case has now occupied over three
days in its trial, and has proved to be
the most complicated case of the kind
that has held the attention of the court
for the past three years. Mrs. Rey-
noids, as has been stated, charges her
husband with cruel and inhuman treat
ment and habitual drunkenness. She
wants a divorce about as badly as any
woman ever did. and has spared neither
money nor pains to secure the best
legal talent of the city. To prove
her charges, she has relied upon
the testimony of her sister, with whom
mother and herself. Mr.. Reynolds, to
refute his wife's charges and escape
the disgrace of a decree for divorce
being entered against him, has offered
to the court the testimony of Eastern
parties, who were intimate friends of
the Reynolds family. This evidence
was all in the form of dispositions, which
took day and half to read them to
the court. They made Mrs. Reynolds
allegations certainly appear as ground
less, but Judge Flandrau's motion
to dismiss the case in favor of Mr..
Reynolds, did not meet with the entire
approval of the court. which, however.
made the remark that Mrs. Reynolds
had very slim case. Mrs. Reynolds
counsel argued long and Interestingly
yesterday morning and cleverly en-
deavored TO show where Mrs. Reynolds
charges we're true and corroborated.
On the other hand, Judge Flandrau,
Mr.. Reynolds attorney. argued at great
length and long into the afternoon, and
reconciling circumstances to reason,
tried to convince the judge
that the whole proceedings were
the result and outcome of the mutual
dislike of Mr.. Reynolds mother-in-law.
wife, and the balance of Mrs. Reynolds
family. AS both parties are quite prom
inent New Workers, the progress and
conclusion of the, case has evoked con-
siderable interest all through the East
where both parties are we'll known. Att
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the case
was submitted to the court, which has
taken it under adyiSement.

Upon a Batch OF Convicted Eel

Judge Kelly Imposes Sentence
Upon a Batch OF Convicted Fell
Ons.
About dozen convicted criminals
were arrayed before Judge Kelly yester-
day morning to receive sentence. The
four Polanders, found guilty of assault
ing Michael Hochvimer on the 9th of
last January, were called and sentence
pronounced as follows: Matthias Kart
IAN, convicted of assault in the first
degree, six years at Saltwater. The re-
naming three, John Casperock Jr.,
William Lampbeck and Fred Lamp
beck, convicted of assault in
the second degree, were each given
three years in state prison.
In the case of John KaZata, convicted of
murder in the third degree for the kill
ing of Frank Kahout last December,
sentence was deferred until April 81.
Andrew Ross, convicted of burglary in
the third degree. was asked what he had
to say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced upon him. j. w. Willis, rep
resenting the prisoner, addressed the
court, and earnestly pleaded for light
sentence. He believed that the hard
times and scarcity of work goaded tn
prisoner on to the deed of which he was
convicted, and that the court should be
influenced accordingly in imposing a
light penalty. The judge. taking ex-
captions to this statement, said that he
seldom saw laboring man before his
bar. "a man who labors," said he, sis
not in the habit of going about the
streets at night. breaking into stores"
The prisoner was then sentenced to
three years and six months at hard labor
in state prison. The case of Frank
J. Marshall, who was charged with en-
beZZling some $500 from the North
ern Pacific Express company, was
continued over to the May term.
Marshall's friends have paid back the
amount embezzled, from the express
company, but the state having the case,
he will be tried Oh the lightest charge
possible, that of stealing $3.50. which is
one of the amounts of the aggregate
theft. Sentence upon Peter Larson.
convicted of larceny in the second
degree, was postponed until next Satur-
day. AT the special term OH that day
Cyrus w. Wellington will argue the mo-
ton for new trial in the case OF Olaf
p. Olson, now serving life sentence for
numbering Mrs. Catherine Lindmann.
After the hour devoted to the above

st. Paul people received the an
nOuncement of the spring opening of
Finch, Van SIyck & Co. with the same
air of expectation and satisfaction that
they would hear of the coming of the
Boston Ideals, because they knew a
treat was in store for them, and that the
best that talent, experience and money
could secure would be displayed for
their benefit. Yesterday the hundreds
that attended this huge establishment,
ornate with an unprecedented array of
the choicest productions of every land
for identifying homes, experienced a
sight that has never been euualed
either in New York or Boston, and
places this firm and st. Paul at the top
of the list. Before entering, glance at
the large windows. The one to the
right contains rich specimens of carpet
and high grade wall paper. The other
is trimmed in an ideal manner with
rare stuffs for interior work. On
entering you will inhale the
odor of roses and be enlivened
by band discoursing sweet music. and
your eyes will swim in a veritable sea
