The board of directors of the st Paul
City Railway company held meeting
yesterday forenoon at their offices on
Ramsey street. 1t was decided to ac-
cept the ordinance passed by the city
council Thursday night as soon as it is
published and becomes Of effect. There
was also an understanding that the
pavement on Sixth street would be re-
laid and the thOroughfare placed in con-
dition for traffic at once. Whatever ac-
ton was taken regarding the work of
railway construction, under the new
ordinance, was not made public.
Mayor Smith signed the Ordi-
nance Yesterday afternoon, and
it will be officially published
Monday, when Vice President Barr will
probably formally accept it, Col. Lowry
having departed for New York, en-
route to Europe. 1t is not known what
the city's course will be in the matter
of the injunction suit recently insti-
tuted before the district court. City
Attorney Holman stated yesterday that
the opinion would probably be handed
down by the court at an early date, but
that he does not contemplate taking
any action to secure the dismissal of the

The only street railway ordinance re-
naming to be disposed of is the one
granted to the Dawson-Lindeke COM
pany. and it has been already announced
that the company would refuse to ac-
cept their franchise, the promoters of
the scheme being fully satisfied with the
transportation facilities to be furnished
by Mr.. Lowry.

there In San Francisco, and he is not to
be blamed if the weather did not agree
with him, and McAuliffe proved bet
ter man than he. Certainly not. He is
as he is, and he can't make himself diff
ferent. Pat arrived home with his
right arm in a sling. His hand was
badly swollen. and his shoulder was
badly scratched. He received these in
-jnries while endeayoring to get in
his deadly Knockout blow. He was
making one of his famous rushes pre-
paratory to killing his antagonist. when
the latter ducked and he went over ON
the harsh, cruel, rosined floor. 1t is
stated that the fall hurt Pat quite Sc
verely. Previous to that time. it is
stated privately, he had been frisklng
and ducking about just as playful as
sanything. Mr.. Killen could not be
found last evening at his place of bust
ness, as he was at home, so his reasons
for not annihilating McAuliffe before
MeAuliffe annihilated him could not be
learned. Several people, however, who
witnessed the celebrated battle, state
positively that had not Mr.. Killen in
jured his shoulder when he fell on the
floor, he would have been able to at
least stay two more rounds.
|. Tom Madden, who returned with Mr..
Killen, did not fall in love with Callf0r-
MIA. 1t cannot be said that he is fully
satisfied with the overland trip in which
he played such prominent part. 1t
was Toms ambition to train Killen and
them have him win the fight from Nc
Auliffe. If so it would be big feather
in Toms cap as trainer. But every
thing turned wrong, and his man in
stead OF defeating McAulitfe got
knocked out himself in seven rounds.

SANE AS SOLOMON.
A Saloonist With Too Many Wives
The Girl He Left Behind Him.

-In0 OiFl
August Plym, the keeper of a saloon
at o25 East Seventh street, was arrested
dby Detective Koran yesterday after
noon on a charge of bigamy. The COM
plant came through Mr.. Sahlgaard, the
Swedish consul in st. Paul, but was
signed by |. w. Plym, brother OF the
accused, who tends bar in his saloon.
Plym has resided in st. Paul for several
wears, and when he married Amanda
Olson, OH the 18th of last February, 1t
was supposed that he was very single
man. 1t tranSpireS now that in 1876 he
married Caroline JOhansdetter, In
Sweden, and that when he came to
America she staid behind to care
for their four children until he
should send for her. Whether he
sent for her or not matters but little, as
she did not come to America. Early In
the summer she learned of his alleged
marriage to the Olson girl, who gave
birth to child two weeks ago, and de-
action at once through the Swedish gov
eminent. The defendant was arraigned
before Judge Burr yesterday afternoon
and bad his case continued until next
Tuesday, going to Jail in default of 3d.
900 bail. He engaged Judge Nelson to
defend him and will attempt to settle
the case, offering to support the family
10 Sweden until the youngest childis
fifteen years of age. Piym says that he
sent money to the wife in Sweden to de
fray her expenses here, that she refused
to come, and that a friend informed him
that he was divorced from her without
legal process. He is just beginning to
learn that the sfriend" was not very
well posted as to the law in the case.

The citizens of Hamline were out ell
masse last night to attend the first re-
ception and banquet ever given by the
members of the Hamline Lodge L. D.,
A. F. and a. NJ. The hall of this new
lodge was nicely decorated for the oc-
casion, and as early as $50 the main
hall was well filled-not alone by Ham,
line people, but also by visitors from
Merriam Park and st. Paul. The most
distinguished guest was Grand Sec
rotary A. T. c. Pierson. Preceding
the serving of refreshments
short and interesting programme
of speeches and music WAS given. Wor
shipfuI Master w. NJ. Todd gave the
address of welcome. He stated that the
Mas0ns at Hamiine were DESTROYS of
obtaining the good will and the &C
quaintance of her other citizens, and
that they desired to show that there was
IN one sense nothing secret about their
order. This idea of secrecy had caused
much i'll feeling, but the order had
never been scathed by any attack. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Todd quartette, of Misses
Wood and Addie Dorr and MessrS.
Norris and Montgomery, rendered
a selection. which was followed by
other selections in the course of the
evening. Grand Secretary A. c. Pier
son was called upon for few remarks.
His address was composed largely of
"reminiscences. A. 3. Robbins, of Mer-
RAN Park, spoke upon the relation of

MODERN MONEY-LENDING.
Three Suits in Which the Charge
of Unique Interest Is Claimed.

Three suits have been begun in the
district court against Richard w. Bell,
formerly clerk of courts. by members
of the same family, which are very in
tereSting for their uniQuenesS. Maurice
III. Roche asks the court to annul sew
eral mortgages executed to secure the
payment of certain promissOry notes.
upon which the defendant charged an
excess of interest amounting to uSury.
All of the notes ran less than year,
and bore the agreement of 10 per cent
interest. There was one note of $500
upon which Roche secured but
500, Bell keeping the remaining
$500 as interest. Another for
$3.50, on which the interest was
$50. and still another for s1,150
the interest OIL which was SS65-that is.
Roche made out note fors1, $50 and re-
ceived only $3.50.
The other two cases are on the same
charges. James r. Roche asks the
same as does Maurice. He executed
note for 81, 100 and received only S1,0S0,
Bell charging him $1,000 as one years
interest Robert f. Roche had needed
more money than any of them. He had
given Bell his note for $1,000, upon
which $3.50 was charged as interest, and
and another for g, 900, upon which 81. 400
was charged as interest. The suit will
be an interesting one when it comes to
trial, as it will show up some of the
methods of the modern money loaner.

JURY ROOM SECRETS
Discussed by One of the Twelve
Who Convicted Clara BlatZ.


One of the jurors who served during
the trial of Clara Blatz said: 81 have
not heard any kicking against the YER
dict. When we brought it in l was
watching Clara, and l noticed that she
gave great sigh of relief. She was
evidently well satisfied. On the first
ballot there were three jurors in favor
of conviction for murder in the first
degree. We voted eleven times, all told.
On one ballot there were five for acquit-
tai. but that was merely a teaSer; no
juryman every had any serl-
Gus thought of discharging her.
But the state never established
premiditation. and the only proof OF the
killing was the confession of the de-
PENDANT Where would the state have
been had she denied the killing? The
jury was very friendly and harmonious
throughout, and there seemed to be a
unanimous sentiment amongst them IN
favor of not wasting any unnecessary
time. The jury were surprised that III
a case where person was being tried
for her life the judge should not allow
her correspondence with her victim to
be read. But the jury consider Judge
Kelly perfect lawyer and an honor
able judge. The jury had very good
opinion of themselves as body. There
was not an ignOramuS or preJudlced
man among us. -,
Warner is the luckieSt man on earth.
He tired the jury out, and many who
noticed it think that an older LAWYER
could have secured an equittal. But
that is a mistake. No influence could
have been brought to bear which would
have made that jury liberate Clara
Blatz. She got twenty years in the
penitentiary. and the verdict will be
popular, because it is not generally be-
lieved that Clara will survive more than
ten years. But the regular life which
she will be compelled to lead at Still
water is liable to result in curing her OF
the opium habit and building her up.
She will be well treated, and after
twenty years she is liable to come forth
with flying cOlOrs. 1t is a well-known
truth that the lives of many notorious
criminals are prolonged by the enforced

THE EMPTY PEDESTAL
Where Once Stood the Fallen
Idol, PatriciuS killen.

NJ Where once StOOu the + dilC.A
Idol, Patricius Killen.
There was a rift in the clouds Of
heavy gloom that have hung so omin-
ously over. the city of st. Paul for the
past ten days. Speaking in figurative
sense. the sun peeped through, and
sent a welcoming, light up and down
the back alleys. And Why? Pat killen
was back from his Waterloo. But, alas
for the fickleneSS OF nature. the sun
soon crept back. the clouds closed
tighter than a drum, and the
back alleys were dark and smelled
badly enough to give one the Shlyers.
And why? Because it was suddenly re-
membered that it was not Pat Killen,
the champion of the Northwest. and the
man who put P. Cardiff Esq, to sleep,
who had returned; but Pat Killen, the
man who himself was put to sleep by J.
McAuliffe. ESQ.,. of San francisco. 1t
beats the dickens. how circumstances
alter cases, anyhow. When Pat klllen
left here the first part OF July
last under the fostering care of
w F. Goodipg the sporting fratern-
itv babe him God-speed; the
ladies waved their kerchiefs after him,6
and the small boy threw rice paper and
cacbOus into the car where he was ex--
pected to sit. He left then on a trip to-
cOnouer the world; and SO ably did Pat
blow his own horn. Sandwiched in with
the fact that he had knocked out the
Flour City champion in the person OF
fine Peoria Giant, that people believed
he could thump anybody, not even bar
ring Sullivan. He was then the idof
of the SANITY City, and sports
were willing to plank down their
mighty dollars in the belief
that that deadly knock out
blow of his would leave nothing of Joe
McAuliffe but a sizzling grease spot.
From all the towns along the line came
the reports that he had knocked out
such man and such man. His
friends here expressed their anxiety
that if Pat kept stopping all of these
men he might injure himself so that his
chances with MeAuliffe would be jeop-
ardized. Of course Pat did not inform
his anxious friends that the men he was
knocking out were all "stiffs," and the
same man under different names. Tom
Madden, well known In the East as
one of the pleasantest fellows III the
world, went out ahead as the dummy.
At Duluth he sailed under the cogno-
men of George Grey, of Detroit, and at
Fargo his name was Lynch, and he
hailed from Winnipeg. At Helena
Tom was forced to adopt another name,
and was put on the bills as though hall
ing from Liverpool. =
Well, bygones are bygones. Pat is
back again. and that is all there is to the
matter. He did the best he could out
