MUNICIPAL POLICIES
Discussed by the Chamber O
Commerce Yesterday.

At yesterdays meeting of the cham
Der of commerce there were present less
than the two-thirds necessary to the
affirmative vote, so MIR. Smalley's reso-
luton for recess until Sept. 10 went
over. Judge Flandrau delivered an
eloquent elogium upon the late Edmund
Rice, which, when seconded by II. F.
Stevens, was ordered spread on the
journal. President Bushnell presented
a resolution asking council to eXpend
$1,000 for street illumination during fair
week; this is $500 less than was
granted last year, but as there is no
money appropriated for such purpose,
the resolution went to committee. A
committee was ordered appointed, on
motion of Mr.. Haggard, requesting the
Minneapolis board of trade to appoint
like committee to cooperate in the
matter of Twin City days at the state
fair. The resignation of George
Thompson as director was accepted and
Richard Gordon elected in his stead.
The committee on streets reported re-
garding the proposal to improve Third
street, from Broadway TO the bridge. that
while such improvement would be de-,
Sirable, still, in view eff the fact that the
property on both sides of the street was
owned by railroad company, and con-
sequently could not be assessed. it
would be necessary to interview the
different railroad interests. This could
not now be done, as the officials were
out of town.
The same committee also reported in
dorsng Mr.. Foulke's resolution that
the city should be urged to take action
70 retain control of motive power other
in the matter of city transit.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.
Paving Work in Quantity by the
Board of Public Works.

Board of Public Works.
The board of public works did
''land office business" yesterday, trans
acting large amount of work that will
be referred to the city council tonight.
Bids were opened for repavlng jack
son street between Fourth and Seventh
streets. The awarding Of a. contract
for the work was postponed until IL
O'Clock this forenoon, III order to give
the interested property owners chance
to decide what kind of pavement shall
be put down, The following were the
lowest bids received for each of the
different kinds of pavement advertised
for: Kerr patent pavement, James
Forrestal, $4,000; granite blocks,
Thomas Reilly, $500; jasper blocks,
Thomas Reilly and James ForreStal,
S11,000; cedar blocks on concrete foun-
dation, James Forrestal, IS, 100. Thorn
ton q Shaw's bond being informal, the
board annulled the contract previously
awarded to them for paving Kent street
between Selby and Ashland avenues,
riding it to Thomas Reilly, the
next lowest bidder, at s3,765. The
boards action on June %, awarding to
Gus Moline contract for the construc-
ton of sewer on Slbley street and
Lyon court, was also annulled. The
council will be asked for new order
for the improvement. 1t was decided to
report favorably the proposition to con-
Struct sewer Oh L'Orient street, be-
tween Nash and Glencoe streets, at an
estimated expense of S766. The reSo-
lutions of the board of park commits
sioners designating Mound and Indian

sessment committee and clerk. with in
structions to prepare abstracts and give
first notice of condemnation. The mat
ter of grading Page street, between
South Robert and Concord streets, at an
estimated expense of SILL 100, was post
poned, the clerk being instructed to call
in property owners. There being
large protest against the grading of
WinSlow avenue from Prospect Terrace
to Annapolis street, and Colorado street,
from Winslow avenue to Hall avenue,
at an expense of S14, 1876, and no petit
ton for the improvement, it was de-
cided to return an adverse report.

A Murder story Recalled.

The order of the lower court is af-
firmed; Charles d. Meyer, respondent,
against Casper A. Cantieny, appellant.
Plaintiff is an attorney, and the action
is for the recovery of an alleged stipu-
lated compensation for services in pro-
curing pardon of the defendants son.
imprisoned in the. state penitentiary.
Appellant declares that the court should
declare the contract to have been lille
gal. The appellate court find: A con-
tract for services in securing pardon
of one convicted of crime is not illegal,
if the employment of improper methods
is not contemplated. A contract with
an. attorney. at law that the latter shall
endeavor to secure pardon, and that
if successful stipulated sum is to be
paid for his services, is not in itself
illegal. The right torecover the agreed
sum is not affected by the fact that
other persons were also afterwards en-
ployed, whose services may have con-
tributed to the result. A recovery
may be hadsof the stipulated price. al
though before the plaintiffs efforts
were concluded, the defendant assumed
to discharge him from the service. The
plaintiff was entitled to the benefit of
the contract, and the entire compensa-
ton agreed upon for the entire service
was not objectionable.

MEN WE MEET.

Chief Executive Clerk Angel, has
ceased to smile. The transformation is
said to have been caused by a continued
diet of Dick Steele funniositieS in the
ancient Third street organ.
Stan Donnelly, of the attorney gen

STATE HOUSE AMENITIES.

State Treasurer Bobleter is dearly
fond of joke, He will lay awake III
bed racking his brain in the formula
ton of some brilliant scheme to work
upon an innocent, unSuSpecting con-
fere. The preparation Of these jokes
is a kind of second nature possessed by
the colonel; it is, in fact, bred in him.
There is an old, black lettered family
Bible in the state treasurer's study
which. besides containing the date Of
his birth, contains some interesting
data of his early days. When three
days old the colonel appears to have
given evidence of his joking propensi-
ties, as the family Bible says he was
caught in the act of placing the nurses
spectacle case in the water jug.
X
The latest effort of Col. Bobleter has
been upon the person of Adjt. Gen.
Mullen. The adjutant general Of the
state of Minnesota is small man, and
consequently lacks that military bearing
when he careers through the state with
Gov. Merriam. This is very sore
point with Gen. Mullen, and he con-
fided the trouble to his bosom friend,
Col. BObleter, who. needless to add, at
once comfOrted him with a certain
remedy. The remedy was bottle of
purgative mixture, which the colonel
naively stated had never failed to alter
the stature of any man. The adjutant
general took the bottle. He has not
been seen at the capitol for week.
Col. BObleter is now preparing him
self for lengthy visit to the Sandwich
islands,

AN ALDERMAN's ADVENTURES
The Return of Aid. Weber From
His European Trip.


Aid. Henry Weber returned home
yesterday, after an absence of fourteen
weeks in Europe, having visited all the
principal cities in Germany, Austria,
Italy, France and England. He reports
a very enjoyable time, with nothing
whatever to mar the pleasure of his trip
unless, perhaps, he takes into cOnSid-
Grafton the time spent during voyage in
leaning over the taffrail and feeding the
hungry sea with fragments of his meals.
But that is always considered neceS-
spring and summer in Europe" he re-
marked yesterday, "have been the most
delightful for many years. l

boulevards of Germany, the soldiery,
and trip on the Rhine; also, the Alps.

Venice, and the Mediterranean sea-.
The Paris exposition is wonderful. Six
and half millions of people had Wis
tied it up to July l, and most of them
have to come yet. The visitors so far
have been mostly Englishmen, Ameri-
cans and people from the provinces. l
was especially pleased with exhibitions
of the colonies from distant countries.
America makes good display. but it
might have been better. We also
helped receive the shah of Persia in
London. | should imagine that saw
over million of people on the banks Of
the Thames, in the vicinity of West
minister bridge, on his arrival by boat.
The hills around St. Paul, for park and
boulevard purposes, would be taken
advantage of by European cities. Their
parks are beautiful, bnt we have the
natural facilities, and ought to improve
much in that direction. Parks and
drives benefit the poor as well as the
rich. l arrived home in the best of
health and spirits, and am ready to
buckle down to work gain.''

SUNDAY SERVICES.
Judge Burr Assesses Variegated
Bible Glass,

A large collection and varied assert
ment of Sunday sinners came up before
Judge Burr in the municipal court yes
terday morning. Thomas Phillips, a
colored porter at the fremont exchange,
was held in default of $500 bail for trial
to-day under a charge of larceny. Phil
lips is the man suspected of robbing a
young man well known about town, the
s.Co." of leading plumbers supply
house, of $3.50 diamond stud, while as
sisting him in making nocturnal in
spection of Minnesota street last Satur-
day.
c. 81. Smith, accused of stealing a
diamond from a prostitute named
Katie Putnam, was discharged,
the charge not being Substan-
tiated. George Rice, for the at
tempted larceny of a barrel of whisky
from lower Seventh street saloon,
went out for ninety days. John Cor
man, notorious old bum, stepped up
and received his usual sixty days COM
mitment for drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct. H. Metzger put up $40

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Bankers Daughter" at the Peo-
pies "Pinafore" at the New
mark ct.
THE Bankers Daughter" drew a
goodly number of old friends and adj
mirers at the Peoples last night, and
the famous Union Square success was
finely presented. Stage Manager Mar
tin had given the play every attention,
and the result was all that could be de-
sired of first nights performance. The
scenery came in for its share of ap-
plause, the best features being the ruins
of the old chateau. where spirited duel
was fought, and the headquarters of the
American legation at Paris. AS Lillian
Westbrook Miss Moretti was at her
best, having had week in which to re-
cuperate. and her treatment of the char
acter was such as to win approval;
while Mr.. Harkins played John Strebe-
low with dignity and force. Mr.. Rus
SELLS Rutledge, Mr.. SANKEY'S Bah
bage and Mr.. Davenport's Mont
villas were all good, and. Ben
Johnson did nobly with Lawrence West
brook, one of the longest and most diff
cult roles he has yet had. The Carajac

RANDOM REMARKS.

There is an old song about the jewel
in the Rugg that would come into good
play just now.
Aid. Weber apparently liked Europe
so well that the wonder is he did not buy
it and bring it home with him.
Horace r. BigelOw has a big contract
on his hands, as has any man who is sure
to please somebody at the expense of
somebody else.
Brother Owens and Brother Bushnell
should adjourn their little difficulty I'M
til state fair times, and provide an extra
attraction by settling it all in twenty
four-foOt ring.
So long as the socialists confine them
selves to nothing more incendiary than
a German egg dance at their plcnlcS
they will never deserve the name OF
Reds.
Minneapolis is not doing the square
thing by the other twin. Col. Lowry
and that lurid police commission are too
much for one town to monopolize.
The chamber of commerce cannot get
together enough members to take re-
cess until September. That is quite an
anomaly when YOU think it over.

CUT STONE BOSSES.

They Will Tolerate No Authority
but Their Own, and. Say the
Strike Is Over.
Messrs. Matt Breen. Charles Lawer,
William II. Ulmer and Charley Young,
as delegates from the cut stone con-
tractors association of st. Paul, left
last evening for Omaha to attend the
semi-annual convention of the Missouri
Valley organization. This is similar
association to the one in st. Paul, which
has for it's object mutual benefit; to
eliminate from the ranks incompetent
and unworthy persons; to tolerate no
authority in their yards but their own,
and to employ workmen regardless of
their being members of trades unions.
The Missouri Valley is national Or
ganization, and the outcome of the
Strike here is that the bosses join it in a
body. The yards now are running at
full blast, about $50 men being at work.
The bosses are determined to allow no
more interference by unions or their
leaders
