ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

administration, the other day finished
his report of the delinquencies of the
Democratic regime, and having dscov-
cred that a penny in ore department
had been charged to the extension fund
when it should have been charged
to the general fund, and having so
found, reported his important discovery
to Aid. Swanson. chairman of the COM
mittee on accounts of city officers. Not
only did }. Frank do that, but he adj
dressed the little whiskered grocer as
Hon. John A. Swanson" That was
too much for the little sweet violet who
sits by the railing. He went off into q

getting that he had promised to vote
for Dorsett through thick and thin, voted
for all the franchises that came along.
When Hon. John first came to the
city hall and took the oath of office as
an alderman, people wondered how in

HE DIDN'T MEAN 1T.
Aid. Lowell Saws His Motion

Would Have Been Good Two
Years Ago.
Aid. G. p. Lowell remarked yester-
day: MY motion about the track
bridging at last Saturdays council
meeting did not mean anything. l was
sitting near Aid. Cole when he was
writing a motion regarding bridge
over Ontario street, and l asked him
if it would not be a good
idea to demand that all the
tracks be bridged and he said it would
be first-rate. Then l wrote out the mo-
ton. johnson said it would stir up the
animals and it went through. 1t did
stir up the animals, too, for 1 under

hall to ask Babb and Russell
to hold the matter in allegiance. There
Will not be any request made to the
courts. The motion at this late day
amounts to nothing, but it en-
bodies the policy the city, /
believe, should have pursue from
the first. If it had started in with
the plain, simple demand that the
tracks be bridged. the courts would
have given the railroads orders to go
ahead. Then they would have come to
time very quick. The cost of building
bridges high in the air would have been
enormous. and the approaches running
down to nearly Hennepin avenue wonld

roads This committee should be continued
and should urge the council to take imme-
diate steps in the mattel. If we could fight
this thing for five years in the supreme court
and then gain even more than Judge Az
water prophesies, we would be losers by it.
The time is past Whffn1 we should be penny
wise and pound foolish.
Several prominent railroad attorneys,
among them Capt. Cross and Col. Benton,
were quoted to the fact that the railroads
would be compelled to put in the cross
ings. Judge Atwater moved a substi-
tute that the resolution be referred to
the railroad committee; that they see
the city council and railroad officers.
and report back at a called meeting.
This was supported by d. Nj. Gilmore,
who thought the city should have lib
eral policy toward the roads, but they
should not define it. The substitute
was carried.
A motion was passed that the rules
be suspended. and that the board meet
monthly till October. Buell. introduced
resolutions to advise the city to pur-
chase the present conduit system, and
require all wires to be placed under
ground, or to construct one of its own.
This was referred to the committee on
city affairs.

The HerdIc Directors Confident
Of Success.
There was a stockholders meeting of
the Herdc company last evening at the
Labor Temple, at which actual subscrip-
tons of $4,000 were reported and
pledges of $4,000 more in stock. Collec-
tons of $500 have already been
made. and if they keep up at the
same figure through the week
the first five herdics will be put
upon the streets in two. weeks and a
complete line within five weeks. The
bylaws of the company were read and
adopted. The resignation of j. c.
Scallon as treasurer was accepted and
William McMullen, of Anthony Kelly 4
Co.'S, was elected in his stead. MIR.
Scallon resigned because his duties at
the bank took all of his time
and he was unable to do both.
The new treasurer furnished bond of
$4,000. and became custodian of the
funds already collected. Another stock
holders meeting will be held at Dahl'S
avenue south, on Wednesday evening,
for the purpose of receiving subscrip-
tons. The projectors of the her
die line were very enthusiastic
last night. and felt that the
enterprises would be a 60. No de-
cision has been made as to which line
will be opened up first, but it will prob
ably be one toward Riverside avenue or
on the Plymouth avenue street car line,
to accommodate the workingmen.

something more in the dom este line

vain one as the scenes and dialogue
were of the same old stereotyped form
as seen and heard in every other 'par-

was all laid in the South, supposedly
before the war when slavery was on

purchases her himself and keeps her in
ignorance of the fact until after

not slave, and in the course of time
villainy is punished and virtue re-
warded, and everything ends well.

Says Attorney JamisOn Regard
ing the Division of Orina.
The first matter to came up before the
board of county commissioners at their
regular meeting yesterday morning,
was a petition signed by James W.
Lawrence, j. B. Dodge, Eugene NJ
Wilson, Wallace NJ. Wait, Howe Paige
L. P. Crevier and P. P. Swanson, asking
the board to instruct the county sur
yeyOr to determine the most feasible
plan for controlling the level of Lake
Mimi etonka, and especially if it could
be done by dam at the outlet where it
should be constructed.
County Attorney JamisOn, by inveSti-
CATION, had found that the county CON-,
missioners of 1868 had done an illegal.
act In dividing and attaching that part
of .Excelsior0north of Lake Mime
tonka to Medina, ana that, therefore,
the act of the present commissioners
on the 9th of last April in dividing Me-
dina and m aking Orina was not accord
ing to law and so he introduced reSO-
luton to rescind that order of the board.
The gentlemen of the board saw through
the unintentional error and will meet
next Wednesday afternoon to consider
the resolution. AS it stands Mr.. Jami-
son said it was liable to cause great liti-
cation and go to the supreme court and
he wanted to have the boards action
founded on law and so introduced the
resolution to reScind before the election
which is to be held on the 18th. This
will probably in the end bring all the
country along that shore of the lake as
part of town of Excelsior.
