IT WAS REFUSED.
The Fuel Gas Company Does Not
Get a Franchise,

The ordinance committee of the coun-
Gil had great deal of fun with them
selves and other people yesterday. The
first matter they tackled was the petit
ton for an ordinance authorizing Will
lam Dorey, j. Knox Doolittle ard w. F.
Palmer to manufacture and sell fuel gas
in the city of Minneapolis, and to lay
necessary pipes and mains for its distri-
button. This has been under consider
alton for some weeks. and when it came
up yesterday A. Il. jackson, represent
ing the Minnesota Gasiight company,
was Oh deck ready to fight it.
Mr.. Doolittle, of the Fuel Gas COM
pany, spoke first, and explained to the
committee what they proposed to do
and the advantage that such concern
would be to the citizens of Minneapolis.
Then Mr.. Jackson spoke and was an
swered by Mr.. DOolittle, after which
both spoke several times and talked a
great deal in a way that seemed to in
tereSt themselves much more than it
did the committee. Mr.. Jackson claimed
that the franchise of his company,
Which holds until 1910, was an exclusive
franchise as far as the manufacture and
sale of gas was concerned, and
Mr.. Doolittle contended that it
was intended only to include
illuminating gas and that. although the
ordinance and franchise did not so state,
it would be so held by the cousts on
grounds of contemporary construction,
the use of gas for other than lighting
purposes being unknown at the time

He has ordered the suppression of

AN ASSAULT AVERTED.
A Drunken Mans Attempt to
OyerDOWer Woman.

About 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
man somewhat under the influence of
liquor entered little candy store on
the corner of Thirty-second avenue
north and Washington while the wo-
man in charge of it was in another
room, and went directly up stairs to the
living rooms overhead. The woman
came back IN few minutes, and on
hearing steps overhead went up
stairs to see what it meant
At the head of the stairs she
was confronted by the man, who COM
manded her to keep quiet. He then at
tempted to drag her into her bed room,
at the same time making improper pro-
posals to her. The woman began to
scream for help, and call for her hus-
band, although she knew he was not
around. A passing patrolman heard
the noise and went in and arrested the
man, taking him to the North Minneap-
oils station. Here he said that his name
was Fred Heft, and that he was la
borer, thirty-two years of age. He will
be arraigned in the municipal cOnrt this
morning.

a year ago. The case of William
Halves, the young man against whom
the charge of perjury was made, will
not come up. The witnesses were there,
but were sent away without testifying.
The young man testified for Franklin,
in the case against him last term for

to have made statements exactly
contradicting his testimony. But for
some reason his case will not come up.

NEXT YEAR.
The Single Creek People Win
One Battle.

One Battle.
One of the most largely attended
committee meetings that has been he d
in the council chamber for long time
was yesterdays meeting of the commit
tee on railroads to consider the matter
of the petition from non-compulsory
residents of the Single Creek district
for an eXtention Of the North Washing
ton avenue car line to FOrty-second
avenue north. Henry Oswold, eE. B.
Ames, Arthur Sanborn, o. P. Briggs,
W. II. Getchell, r. III. Hasty and other
prominent citizens of that part of the
world were present and the Minnesota
Foundry company, the Bovey, De
Laittre Lumber company and some
other manufacturing interests in that
section were represented. All believed
that the amount OF property and num-
Der of people in the district they repre-
sented were sufficient to warrant the
council in ordering the extension. Sew
eral Of those present spoke
and afterwards Mr.. Goodrich of
the street railway company was
heard. He thought the car
line was far enough out in the coun-
try now, as it run through hazel brush
the last part of its present extent. He
did not believe the line would be profit
able, or even pay any considerable part
of the expenses of operating the line.
When the visitors had all been heard
the committee discussed the matter for
sometime, and decided that, inasmuch
as the line need not be built for year
after ordered, and in view of the fact
that the petitioners are willing to grade
the streets on which the cars are to run
at their own expense. it would be just
to order the extension built by July l.,
1890, and they will SO recommend to the

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

Judge Lochren yesterday filed an Or
der for publication of summons in the
case of James Wiley against Marion S.
Tallman and Hervey j. WILDER. The
action was commenced in the court to
compel the transfer of a certain sher-
ifs certificate of sale upon a Minneap-
oils lot. The defendants are residents
of Rhode Island.
A point of law was yesterday argued
before Judge Hicks in the Spalding
claims desertion, but the Judge as yet
has made no decision. The case was
argued month ago, and the judge then
seemed to think that the desertion was
too much of mutual parting. Cd
Judge Hooker yesterday filed an order
sustaining the demurrer of the board of
county commissioners to the complaint
brought against them by Henry Schultz.
The ground of the demurrer was that
there was not sufficient evidence against
them for complaint. 1t came up for
hearing at the special term last Satur-
day.
James H. Cook & Co., the paper deal
erS, have begun an action against Jacob
H. Cook, the lawyer, and William
Cheney for S3,002.06 which the company
claim to be due them ON a promisscry
note.
Judge Hooker yesterday moved into
his new room at the court house. AS
Judge Rea is back again he will use his
room which Judge Hooker has used
during his absence.
The examination of J. W. Walrath,
the inSOlvent, was continued before
Judge Hooker yesterday. New evidence
was produced, but the case was not sub
mitted and will come up again to-day.
A motion for new trial in the case
of George II. Watson against The St.
Paul City railway was denied. Mr.
Watson received verdict of $4,000 for
injuries.

ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

Aid. Blichfeldt, while he may not be
a statesman or anything of that sort,
and in spite of the fact that he would
probably be willing to change his name
in order to have it come below that of
Tom Downs on the voting list, in Or
der to get that gentleman's views
on subject before he votes on it is one
of the too few men in the council who
seems to have some understanding of
the fact that he is supposed in his
othclal capacity to look after the inter-
ests OF the entire city as well as his own
ward, and that he was elected an alder
man for the rdrpose of dis
eliminating against 100000 people
for the sake of accommodating
$4,000, or oftener $500, as about six
thirds Of the aldermen deem it advis-
able to, and in this particular he differs
materially from the large number of
aldermen whose only feeling of respon-
sibility seems TO be for their own safety

an adjoining room, pouring some beer
into glass, was well-known charac-

tered, but simply stared blankly. The
place was unfit to keep a decent dog in.

MORE TROUBLE.
Motor Line Men Kicking About a
Conductors Discharge.

There is once more trouble brewing
between the management of the Min
neapolis Street Car company and the
motor line and the employees of the two
systems. 1t seems that some days ago
a motor conductor named Badger, was
discharged for reason which to the
Street Car Employees union did not
seem good and sufficient. Accordingly
com mittee was appointed to wait
upon Cal Goodrich, the secretary of the
company, to see what could be done in
regard to the matter. The
committee called at Mr.. Goodrich's
Office yesterday afternoon, but
Mr.. Goodrich was conveniently alb
sent, SO nothing was done. The COM
mittee will call upon him again to-day
and endeavor to obtain>a hearing. 1t is
not probable that there will be any

Mr.. Doolittle had said, his company's
franchise for laying pipes for the dis
tribution of gas was exclusive. He also
urged upon the committee the fact
that the new company, or rather trio
of individuals without organization or
mutual agreement, as he represented
them, had not yet determined upon
method of manufacture of the gas, and
were indeed merely trying to get
franchise to speculate ON.
MI. Doolittle denied this charge. but

the opinion that the gentlemen en-
