The road inspected consisted of twenty

BURNED AND MANNED.
Damages CLAIMED for a Gable
Accident.


The calamitous cable slide of Jan.
%. 1883. with all its horrifying details
is about to be rehearsed before the dis
trict court. Mrs. John Thorson and
Mrs. A. V. Seamans, Of Milwaukee,
were burned and bruised and perma-
nenfly injured in the wreck. Mrs.
Thorson has instituted suit against the
cable company for S25,U0O damages for
personal injuries sustained and Sl,2S5
additional for damages suffered
to clothing and expenditures for
medical attendance. Her complaint
states that she boarded the
cable car on Selby avenue,
near Kent street in company with
Mrs. Seaman, and that while the train
was making its descent on the Selby
avenue grade, the passenger coach was
picthed on one side and dragged some
distance, She was thrown against the
stove, sustaining severe burns and
bruises about the head, body and limbs,
and her wearing apparel, which she
claims was worth S4U0, was destroyed.
She was taken back to the Ryan hotel.
where she was stopping during So
journ in the city, and under constant
care and medical attendance, Was COM
PEELED to remain confined in her bed in
the hotel until the 18th of March. Then,
under great pain and expense, she was
conveyed to her home in Milwaukee,
where she has suffered from her in
juries up to short time ago.
Mrs. Seaman sues tor the same
amount-S25, 0O9-and the facts of her
case are about the same. The defense
has taken dispositions from Robert ALI
son and Jeremiah Garrigan, builders of
the road, which they will introduce to
show that the accident was not due TO
any defect in the machinery.

SOUNDED The TOCSIN.
Representatives of Ramsey
County Hold Their First
Consultation.
Members of the Board of
Public Works to Be
Elected.
Heavy Sums Demanded for
Injuries in the Cable
Wreck.
Summary of the Days Doings
Prepared for Globe
Readers.

Representatives of Ramsey county in
the next legislature held caucus yes
terday at Gebhard Wilrich's Office, there
being present Representatives I'll. f.
Stevens. w. f. Bickel, j. I'll. Ives, III. l..
Williams. Gerhard WiIrich, f. G.
Stevens and J. G. Elmquist. The object
OF the gathering was to discuss meas
ures likely to effect the interests of
Ramsey county before the legislature,
and to secure harmonious action among
its representatives. There was gen
eral discussion concering the question
of the speakershlp, and the names
of Messrs. Morgan and Graves were
suggested. Sentiment was divided as
to the merits OF these two aSpirantS for
speakership honors. The Washburn
men champiOned the cause of Morgan,
while the adherentS OF Senator Sabin
pinned their faith to Graves, of Duluth.
as to binding the delegation to the sup
port of either Morgan or Graves. Rep
reSentative ElmQuiSt presented the
draft Of a bill providing that in future
members of the boards of public
works shall be elected by the
people and not appointed by the
mayor, as is now the custom, their
terms of Office to run two years. This
provoked very animated debate, but
the sentiment of those present was
against committing themselves to any
line Of policy in regard to the question,
as it was deemed best to give the matter
more thought before adopting or re-
jecting the bill. Mr.. ElmquIst urged
that it Should be indorsed by the Ram
sey county representatives, but they
were not willing to accept this propo-
sition, and it was temporarily laid aside.
The manner in which city contracts
are let, also came up for
discussion, and all present participated
i'll the debate, but it was finally agreed
to postpone action until a Joint meeting
of the Ramsey and Hennepin county
delegations could be held, when this
subject could be more thoroughly in
quired into and remedies proposed.
Naturally there was some interest taken
IN the selatOrShip question, but as soon
as an effort was maue to secure an eX-
preston OF opinion regarding candidates
members present became very careful
about expressing their views, and it was
concluded to allow the matter to rest
pending the conference to which refer
ence has already been made. AS it now
stands the delegation is unpledged to
any candidate, and only two of those
present would talk, and that was during
the discussion of a candidate tor
speaker.

FRAUD ALLEGED.
Governor Elect Merriam Brought
Into Court.

Into Court.
As prelude to Gov.-Elect Merriam's
gnbernat0rial career, he occupied seat
in Judge Wilkins chamber of the dis
trict court yesterday, in response to
suit brought against him by James K.
Humphrey. The matter at issue bias
been in the courts since December,
1885. The plaintiff sues to recover
$4,000 damages or-aS he aliegeS-a
pretended sale of III shares Of stock of
the Florence Mining and Smelling conf
Dany, by II. l.. Carver, for defendant,
and as his agent, on the 22d of Deeem-
Der, 1879. Said stock was. it is claimed,
represented to be worth par valne,
ana was sold to plaintiff tor $3.50 per
share, or S6,412.5U in all.
NSw it is claimed by Humphrey that
Carver. as agent for MIR. Merriam, rep
resented to him that the Florence nine
was a paying institution and that the
stock, which was of par value. would
not be assessed.
A short time after the plaintiff OBJ
tanned possession of the stock. demands
were made upon him for assessments
which, after demonstrating with defend
ants agent, he paid. These assess
ments were paid until they amounted
to S1,06S.75. Dec. Ii, 1885, Humphrey
filed a complaint against defendant and
demanded Judgment in the sum of
$4,000, as recovery of moneys paid
for the stock and damage otherwise.
The case was tried in the district court
and decided against the plaintiff. An
appeal was taken to the supreme court
in the October term, 1887. and the de-
ciSion of the lower court was affirmed.
Now the case is again before the dis
trict court on technlcality and is being
heard by Judge Wilkin.
Judge Young and G. E. Otis appear
for the defense and Judge Brisbin for
the plaintiff. Several prominent gen.
tlemen of the city were present as wit
nesseS. and the struck jury is composed
of the leading men of st. Paul. The
whole afternoon was occupied in hear
ing the testimony of the plaintiff. The
case will be resumed "Wednesday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The governor elect
sits back of his counsel, apparently en-
crossed in thought concerning matters
of greater moment than the case before
