Manitoba DispOses.
After further consultation with the
North side citizens committee the st.
Louis railroad officials and Receiver
Truesdale have made the following
proposition. which has been approved
by the committee, and will be submitted
to the council at the meeting tomorrow
evening:
In order to compromise the pending con-
troversy with the city of Minneapolis rela-
tive to bridging Washington avenue, Third,
Fourth and Fifth streets over the tracks OF
the st. Louis railway, and for no other pur-
pose, il is proposed that the receiver OF the
ST. Louis railway Subject to approval of the
court on notice to the trustees of all its
bOndholders) is to build the bridges, south
abutments and supports, including roadway
and sidewalks, and maintain the same
substantially according to judgment OF
the district court; also to lower the
railway tracks substantially according to said
Judgment. The receiver to begin work as
soon as the agreement with the city is per-
fected and approved by the court and coun-
ell. and prosecute the same with reasonable
diligence to completion, provided that the
receiver shall not be required to do any eX-
cavating between the LIST day of November
and the 18th day of the following April. The
receiver to complete the performance of the
foregoing on or before JAN l, 1890. unless
hindered, delayed or prevented by legal pro-
ceedings The city of Minneapolis to construct
and maintain south approaches sidewalks.
roadways, etc. substantially upon the plans
embodied in the judgment of the district
court. The city to hold the railway company
and receiver harmless from all damages to
persons owning or leasing property fronting
ON the south approaches and abutments.
The judgment of the district court awarding
peremptory writ OF manamus, and the affirm
ance of said judgment by the supreme court
of Minnesota to be vacated, and new judg-
ment entered in place thereof embodying
the foregoing provisions.
1t is very doubtful if even this very
considerable concession Oh the part of
the road will be productive of any re-
suits, as the Manitoba road will in all
probability oppose this move and stand
in the way of speedy settlement Of the
difficulty

OFFICE JOURNALISM.

The evils of office" journalism are
only too apparent in the P. P.'s reports
of the two days convention of the w. c.
T. U. county convention. On the first
day the P. p. wrote up the session from
the printed programme, but as the an
nounce speakers were absent and sub
stitutes put on, the report was slightly
absurd. On the second day the same
paper guessed at what would happen
and wrote up what might have hap
pened but didn't, namely. division
over the adoption of the resolutions. The
Office report went so far as to state
that in the turmoil it was impossible to
tell whether the resolution indOrsing
the prohibition carried OF not. In fact
all the resolutions were adopted by
unanimous vote and without debate as
they came from the committee. The
GLOBE, it is needless to add. had an
authentic and thrilling report from
VOluminOuS notes taken on the spot.

ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

The advent of clergyman in the
city council ought to be hailed with ap-
plause, since the adventer is an Adj
ventist. Rev. w. j. Bursell is the cler-
zeal member whose election from the
Tenth ward was the cause of some re-
mark last fall. He has never made his
calling known. though his election
was a sure thing, and this does
not fulfill the Scripture. One
cannot help contrasting this plain-loOk-
ing gentleman, who mows his copiOus
hair down with his fingers. with what
Rev. G. Lightly Morrill, would be in the
same situation. Rev. Bursell has never
offered prayer in the council; he has
never told his colleagues they were in
league with sin, and were laying sec
tionless condnit to hades. He has never
larruped the Catholics, nor passed
around the collection box, all of which
things Rev. G. L. would have done in
his first month of office. A singularly
silent man for preacher is DR.. Bursell,
perhaps because he is not working at
his trade at present.

What came very near being a tragic
rival of fire engine crossing the Tenth
avenue bridge last evening while re-
turning from a fire. William c. Wins
low, driver of Chemical No. 3, was
the fire laddie who figured as
the savior of pretty seventecn-y ear
old girl who was seeking her own de-
Struction by jumping from the bridge
into the water below. The girls name
is Dona Wing, and she is the daughter
of Seymour L. Wing. baker, living
with his wife and children at
2l06 Minnehaha avenue. No cause
can be assigned for the girls action,
and her parents are entirely at loss
to account for her actions. She worked
about the house after dinner and moth
ing unusual was noticed in her talk and
behavior. Late in the afternoon, DOna
and her younger sister left to visit their
married sister, who lives near Tenth ave-
nue. south and the river. They
remained there until after supper, and
then the girls started to go home, and
bona evinced determination to go
somewhere else. The younger girl
asked her to go home and she replied
petulan.ly:
Il am not going home any more at
ALL"
She then started to run toward the
river and the child followed.
CRYING OUT TO HER
to stop. After running out several rods
Dona stopped moment, looked around,
and then attempted to leap over the
railing into the river. Her little sis
ter came up to her just in time to
catch hold of her dress and prevent her
from accomplishing her purpose. At this
OppOrtune moment the fire apparatus
came up, and Driver Wins low, Ieaping
from his seat, ran to the spot, caught
hold of the girl, land, lifting her over the
rail set her down upon the bridge, not
withstanding the desperate resistance
which she made Finding that it
would be impossible to induce her
to accompany them, the fore
man summoned the patrol wagon and
had her conveyed to the central station.
SHE FOUGHT THE OFFICERS
fercely all the way, and it was with
extreme difficulty that she was finally
forced into cell and locked up. She
seemed to have entirely lost her
senses. and was as violent as the
fiercest maniac. The parents of the
unfortunate girl visited her at the lock-
up later in the evening and found her
somewhat quieted. but still wild and
unreasonable. They could imagine no
possible cause for her sudden fit of
alteration. They know of no trouble
or unpleasantness that could have
turned her mind and are entirely at
loss to account for her sudden and deS-
perate attempt to take her own life.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Pence opera house was filled
from pit to gallery last night in honor
of the testimonial benefit rendered to
Frederic Book. The first on the pro-
gramme of the entertainment was Gone
Touch of Nature" in which Mr.. Book
played the old, familiar part of Penn
Holder, supported by Miss Jessaline
Rodgers as Constance. Mr.. Books con-
ception of the difficult part of
old Penn-Holder was excellent, and
was appreciated accordingly by the
audience. He was called before tn e
curtain and presented with a handsome
basket Of flowers by little girl in one
of the prOscenium boxes. George f.
gladden. also presented him, in
behalf of the members of the
orchestra, with gold-headed UNI
brella. Mr.. Book responded in
a neatly turned speech, stating
his appreciation for favors past and
present. The rest of the programme
consisted of the island act of ''Enoch
Arden" with Mr.. Book in the title
role; the homestead act of "Sol's Girl
Chick with Neil Scully as Old Sol and
Jessaline Rodgers as Chick. and the
Mr.. Book in the title role. His rendi-
ton of Emmet'S famous speech was
excellent.
Charles A. Gardner (KarD presented
his romantic play "Fatherland" at the
Grand last night, and scored hit. Mr..
Gardeners singing was the feature of
the entertainment, and the songs are
the most catching heard here for long
time. "Fatherland'' is a better play
than any of Emmet's. and is we'll ar
ranged to display Mr.. Gardeners pecu-
liar powers. The company is fair. AL
together Charles A. Gardner and
"Fatherland" deserve good patronage.
The same bill tonight.
'sThe District Skewl." rendered by
citizens of the Eight ward, will be
given at the Grand Monday. The
Apollo Glee club in "Romeo Juliet
will be seen Tuesday night.
W. d. Wheeler, manager of Daniel
Sully, is in the city arranging for the

POLITICAL FLUBDUB.

Frank Meade is hoeing hard row in
Washington. He went down there on
the invitation of Secretary Window,
expecting to be placed in responsible
position in the treasury department,
whose duties would be so light as to
enable him to continue some war arti-
Giles for the Century magazine he has
begun, but on his arrival found
that pressure had induced Mr.. Window
to give the position to another. Col.
Meade is Willing away his time at
high-priced hotel waiting for another
opening. 1t will, no doubt, come soon,
as Col. Meade'S services to the party
have an undoubted value. and. besides.
he is an intimate personal and political
friend of both senators.
="
The appointment of j. Jim Smith, the
well-kn0wn and alert detective '.of
undoubted veracity" to a position IN the
secret service, is received with great
enthusiasm by the Irish Republicans of
this city, who readily understand MIR.
Smith was elected as representative
of their race. and some surprise has
been expressed that the Tribune has
made no effort to get interviews from
leading lrishmen indorsing the appoint
ment.
Mayor Babb, having disposed of all
his political patronage by the appoint
ment of Harry Breslaer city dog catcher,
has no reason TO doubt the authenticity
of his own plantive statement that he
is dead politically"
W. II. Eustis. after carefully looking
over plans, has abandoned the idea OF
fashiOning the addition to the Corn eX-

The reporters who do the council
meetings have agreed on list of seven
teen members who. in their opinion. are
up TO the mark as aldermen. from
which it appears that, leaving it to the
newspapers, nearly two dozen OF the
city fathers are plate matter. The list
includes Messrs. Burrows. Bradish,
Cole, Downs, Ellingson, Gilman, Lowell,
MCGOWAN, Meloy, Potter ED Reeves
Warren and Johnson.
County Surveyor Dahl disclaimS all
knowledge of the law passed by the last
legislature which gives him the eXclus-
i've right to make surveys and certify
to plats, and naively adds that the bill
is not in his interest. since it reduces
his per diem for such work from So to
81. Still the legislature was not hard on
him when 1t gave him monopoly
of all the work in the coun-
ty and allowed him such a
handsome pay for it. Mr.. Dahls eX-
PLANTATION does not of itself cover the
case, not nearly so much as history of
trips to st. Paul in the company of
County Attorney .Jamison would. The
law is a pretty steep one, considering
that there are surveyors in Hennepin
county who have forgotten from year
to year more than Mr.. Dahl ever learned
about his profession.

son. This committee has agreed On the
division, as the line is to extend across
the state. being the north line Of town
ship III vest of the Mississippi river,
and the line of township SO east of the
river. There is deviation that will
put the county of Chicago in the lower or

line across the state, dividing Big
Stone, Swift, Kandyohi, Meeker, Wright
and AnOka counties. The recon-
mendatiOn will be made to the confer
ence, which meets in st. Paul in Oc-
tObe. This gives GO appointments in
