BY some fatality the standing head
"More Decapitations' got set over no.
tice of several appointments by the po-
lice commission in yesterdays GLOBE.
The error is immaterlal, however, as it
is only a question of time when the
head will be appropriate unless Free
man Lane gets there with his little bill
first.
A cursory glance at the newspaper
report of yesterdays meeting of the
legislative committee would lead one to
suppose that gentl man known and
designated as Aid. Sterling composed
the committee and was chief advisor of
the city attorney.
The final passage of the bill authoriZ-
Ing the appointment Of two new Judges
of the district court in Hennepin
county will probably have the effect of
bringing matters to focus, and the
various candidates will have to stop
swinging their bats at the grand stand
and play ball.

ment ami reform bowling tournament

The Exposition Beginning to
Boom Alpeady--News of a
Busy Day.

In pursuance of a motion made by
Aid. Sterling some time since, the
council committee on legislation began
when it met yesterday to look over and
discuss copy of the proposed park act
which it had been provided with. Just
what relations any council committee
bears to the park board or the laws gov
erning it is something of an open QueS-
ton, but the new aldermen seem to de-
rive great deal of pleasure, and no
small relief from each additional oppor-
tunity to express their opinion, and so
it was yesterday. Aid. Sterling objected
to the section OF the new act which au
thorizes the board to purchase lands.
giving mortgage, with Or without
bonds, there in the name of the city.
He thought this gave the board an OPP
portunity to get the city into debt and
suits galore, and wanted to know if the
city wouldn't be liable in case of debt
contracted in this way. Attorney
lockwood said not except so far as the
land was a pledge for the obligation
and could be sold on the n0n-payment
of the mortgage. Aid. Bradish thought
it we'll to guard against any possible
contingency, and on his motion thu COM

out of the clause regarding bonds and
give the board power to give mortgage
only.
This matter once settled Aid. Sterling
made another vigorous kick on the
clause which was intended to legalize
the increase of the limit of interest ac-
count on bonded debt from $4,000 to
$4,000. He asserted that at present the
board could issue no bonds without a
vote of the people, while such law
would take the matter out Of the bands
of the people entirely.
Aid Bradsh and Grimes favored the
placing of the matter in the hands of the
council. and Aid, Sterling made mo-
ton covering that point. Aid. Downs
argued that the park board was dis
tinct and independent body and could
not he made subservlent to the council.
Aid. Sterling's motion was finally car
ried after great deal of discussion on
both sides.
A motion to take up the matter of the
Eighth ward grading bills brought
from City Attorney Russell the opinion
that they should not be tampered with
while in the hands of the court. and on
motion Of Aid. Bradish, the bill was re-
ferred back to the council without rec
Ommendalion.

Enthusiasm Growing Over the
Thirteenth Regiments Visit.

Thirteenth Regiments Visit.
At the meeting of the exposition
directors yesterday morning commune
cations were read from the East, show
ing that the members of the Thirteenth
regiment were enthusiastic to come,
and if they received the invitations
they would come with the intention of
making their stay here very profitable
to Minneapolis. The indications from
the latest communications are more
promising than any before for great
numbers of eXcursiouists from New
York and Brooklyn, in case the regi-
ment comes. Communications are
daily being received by Manager
Byron from the different roads. and
while the directors were in session
telegram arrived from prominent
company asking that they be
not forgotten. Owing to the
fact that so many OF the
wealthy citizens are abroad and the
dullness of trade at the present time,
the committee appointed to obtain sub
Scriptions for the ten or twelve thou
sand dollars needed have deemed it
not advisable as yet to make their re-
quests of The citizens. 1t had been their
Intention to formulate, at an early date,
an invitation to the regiment, the gov
ernor and staff and the auXiliaries, and
run the risk of raising the money later.
This, however, did not meet with the
approval of the directors, and on the
motion of E. S. COrser it was decided
that no invitations should be extended
until the committee had obtained
satisfactory subscription from the citi-
zenS to the amount of $4,000. There
seems to be, however, not the slightest
doubt but that the sum can and will be
raised.
A number of changes in the building
were advised by Manager Byron to
lessen the running expenses next year,
and for the general convenience. One
was that the lower entrance to the art
gallery be closed, making but one Ell
trance to be supplied with ticket agents,
etc. Another was to move the Office
down stairs to the Bank street side. 1t
was also suggested that the large room
now used for ladies' waiting room be re-
modelled for the use of special attractions,
as such room, i'll years past, has been
greatly needed. The ladies' waiting
room in that event would be removed to
the lower floor. The proposed changes
were referred to the building committee
and Manager Byron.
The matter of obtaining government
exhibit or appropriation was discussed.
Though it was the general sentiment
that it was too late to get such bill be-
fore congress at this session, it was
looked upon as worthy of trial. Gin

exposition, had a $4,000 governmentex-
hibit, and he thought it quite possible
to obtain at least $4,000 for the Mime
apolis exposition. lie thought that the
government would furnish an exhibit
illustrating the fish hatcheries that are
at present interesting the people of

formerly Maria B. Dayton, against
Mary !, Dayton and Lyman c. Dayton,
her husband, which has been in the
United States circuit court. and was re-
manded back to the district court for
trial, was taken up before Judge Young
yesterday. The action is brought to
set aside a deed to land in the Eighth
ward, valued at some 100000, and the
record thereof. purporting to have been
given by the plaintiff to Mary |. Dayton
and her husband, and to have the title
TO the land adjudged to be in the plaint-
if, as against the title or CLAIM Of the
the deed is void, because she was
married woman and her husband
did not join her In making the
deed and because she gave
it under threats of violence, and
great bodily harm. Mrs. Nell swore
that Mr.. Dayton, her son, came to her
house in Anoka county on Monday
morning Of the week the deed was exc
euted, and desired her to execute the
deed in question, On her refusing to
execute it, he proceeded to imtimidate
her; he threatened to kill her husband,
broke in the door to Nell'S room. got his
gun and threatened to shoot the hired
girl if sDe called for help, had fight
with the hired man, knocked the plain
tiff out of her chair and threw her onto
wood pile, and conducted himself in
such a way as to frghten Mrs. Nell and
her husband away from the house. He
said he would kill every one in the
house, and would get the property some
way. Mrs. Nell further declared that
had it not been for these threats she
would never have signed the deed. The
defendant exhibited paper purpOrting
to have been signed by Mrs. Nell, in
which she promised to transfer the
property in question to her son and his
wife, but Mrs. Nell claims that this
agreement is a forgery. The case was
concucted by Judge Shaw for the de-
PENDANTS and Seagrave Smith for the
plaintiff. The testimony was all printed
and furnished lot of interesting read
ing. The case will be concluded to-day.

The Silver Anniversary of the
Order of knights of Pythias.

Yesterday was the twenty-fifth or sill
yer anniversary Of the founding of the
order of the Knights of Pythias, and
the event was celebrated by the Mime
apolis knights and a large number of
visitors by banquet and a reception
at the Nicollet house. The evening
was pleasant one. and was
only marred by the fact that
the banquet room doors were not
thrown open until nearly 10 o'clock, in
stead of at $3.50. This, however, was
not the fault of the committee having
the affair in charge. Guests began to
arrive soon after o'clock and were re-
ceived in the hotel parlors by Frank S.
Mcdonald, }. p. McCracken, August
Miller, G. A. ClawsoD, 7. N. Ningren,
George W. Thompson. J; P. Anderson.
and A. ID. Smith, of the re-
ception committee. Among the
guests were ladies and gentle
men from different parts of the state,
and many an old-time friendship was
renewed. 1t was the original intention
to have the banquet served at $50. but
through stupid blunder the doors
were not opened until almost 10 o'clock.
While waiting for that important event
there was music by Thyle & Ringwall's
orchestra, and singing by number of
ladies and gentlemen. When the BAN
uuet hall doors were opened the COM
pany of about two hundred and fifty or
two hundred and seventy-fve ladies
and gentlemen walked in, TO the strains
Of pleasing march by the orchestra.
The tables were laid lengthwise of the
hall and presented a handsome appear
ance, decorated and Ornamented as they
were. The supper itself was an excel
lent one, and was done full jnStice.
Rev. Dr.. Burrell made the prayer be-
fore the repast.
At the conclusion of the banquet u.
d. Smith, the president of the eXecu-
tive committee, secured the attention of
the guests, and then in brief way
spoke of the occasion which had called
them all together. The following toaSts
were then responded to in that happy
vein which characterizes many of the
gentlemen who made responses:

and three children in actual want, and
taking with him about $1,000. which is
SAID to be largely the property, not of
the firm. but of the Milwaukee, Furnace
company. for which the firm is agent.
He left about three weeks ago, while
his partner, Mr.. Mueller, who is the son
of Mr.. Mueller, of the Milwaukee Fur
mace company, was sick and unable to
attend to the business. Leo had for
long time been intending to go to visit
his brother at Helena, Mont, and he
took occasion. it is claimed. to improve
Mueller'S absence by collecting about
$1,000 in cash and $500 in notes. He left
the notes with his wife, and, taking the
cash, departed for the West. He has
since been seen and recognized in
Helena and Seattle.
His family does not seem inclined to
give any information about his reasons
for going away or probable intentions
Tor the future. His wife says he is
coming back. but claims to be ignorant
as to the approximate date of his re-

be the only resource of the aggrieved

Judge Hicks again yesterday, with
Capt May on the stand. He claimed
that instead, of his owing Dunlap
money. Dunlap was really indebted to
him, as he Dunlap had been using
large sums OF money of which be never
made any note on his books. The ex-
animation showed that Dunlap had had
entire charge of Capt. Mays financial
affairs, and had kept the books in such
shape that 1t would take delegation of
lawyers to make head or tail out of
them. Once or twice Capt. May insin-
uated that Dunlap's management had
not been as honest as it might have
been. but under close questioning by F.

drew the charge.
