MADE LOTS OF FUN.
The Log ROlling Contests at the
Exposition Prove Interesting.

Exposition Prove Interesting.
Another immense crowd gathered at
the Exposition last night to see the sec
ond log-rolling contest. The crowd was
plenty large enough to justify the gen.
eral managers opinion that it would
pay to repeat the performance. 1t
proved great attraction, and in
spite of the fact that the attendance
was light during the day the evenings
thrOng SWelled the receipts very consid-
erably, and the turnslides kept on click
ing until 21,260 people had passed in
side the doors. AT O'Clock the space
around the pool was packed with eager
people, and the galleries above were
also damned. Every available cor
ner where one could get
glimpse of the water had
face in it, and people climbed
all over the exhibits in the central part
of the building in order to look over the
heads of those in front. Capt. McGraw,
who was to have contested with j. Nc
Donald for $3.50 side IN the log-rolling
contest, failed to show up. He is en-
ployed at the West hotel, and had his
leg quite badly injured at the fire there
yesterday. This put an end to the
contest and so the Exposition manage

three moneys for contest between
Dugas. who won the first prize. and
Foley who took third money Thursday
night. The two put on their river
mans suits and prepared for action,
meanwhile Fireman Dennis Carey
and Officer Void, of the police
force got to bantering each other about
what they could do on the logs, and fin
ally agreed to make show for the peO-
pie. When they got out on the log they
seemed very uncertain about several
things, and when one fell off the other
would go in after him, while the
crowd fairly shouted with laugh
ter. Then Dugan and Foley took
their pike poles and pushed out. For
a long time they fairly made the water
boil, Spinning the great log like top.
Neither one could get any the best of
the other, and finally it became evident
that the contest would last forever, so
they dropped their picks, and then it
became evident that Foley was lost.
He made a game fight, however, and
was loudly cheered. but Dugan soon
succeeded in ducking him twice, win
ming the money.

THE ASPHALT PAVING.
The Park Avenue Proceedings
Abandoned as Illegal.

A majority of the committee on paw
ing, Aid. MCGOWAN, Durham and Blich-
feldt, reported in favor of annulling all
proceedings in the matter of paving
Park avenue with asphalt. Aid Downs
moved to lay the resolution of aban-
donment on the table. Aid. McGOwan
moved to postpone until the next regu-
lar meeting. He thought by that time the
Injunction case would be settled in the
courts. Aid VandeWaker said the
assessment originally passed by trick,
by what might technically be called a
fraud. BY simple declaration of the
presiding officer scant majority was
made to carry a resolution that, under
the charter, required a tWo-thirdS vote.
He believed the council should square
itself by annulIing all proceedings and
starting anew, and legally. Aid. Downs
motion to lay the resolution on the
table was lost: yeas IA, nays 10.
Aid. McGowan'S motion to lay over
a week was withdrawn. The
question required then on the
resolution offered by the committee to
annul the proceedings. A member in
auired if that would become of the in
junction if that resolution prevailed.
and was informed it would probably be
withdrawn. as there would be nothing
to enjOin. The resolution was adopted
by vote of % to II. The result of the
councils action will, in City Attorney
Russell's opinion, be that the inJunc-
ton proceedings will be withdrawn to-
dav and the council will not get iSSelf
into contempt The action of the cOun-
Gil will. however, postpone the paving
until 1891.

A Little Ceremony Which Pleases
Him and Hurts Nobody.
There was large attendance at the
Union league last evening. which was
called out by the reported opposition to
resolutions indorSing Judge J. P. Rea
for appointment as Corporal Tanners
successor as commissioner of pensions.
The following resolutions. which will
probably have great deal OF weight
with President Harrison. were draught-
ed by committee comp OSed of j. w.
Griffin. H. c. Truesdale. c. S. Jelly, A.
NJ. Scott and William Butler, and were
presented:
Whereas, As ii is known that President
Harrison has under consideration the ap-
pointment of commissioner Of pensions.
and IT is expedient and right that the name
of the man selected shall be in itself guar
antee to the whole people of an honest and
fearless administration of this highly inpor-
tant department, and that its duties snail be
administered with the sympathy due 10 the
soldier disabled in the service of the nation,
as well as with a proper care for the inter
eSts Of the taxpayers;
Now, therefore, believing that the selection
of Judge John P. Rea for the office of pen
sion commissioner would give general salts
faction and secure to the public service
most acceptable and faithful official, we 40
most earnestly recommend and respectfully
request the appointment OF the Hon. John /.
Rea as commissioner of pensions.
The resolutions were presented by j.
W. Griffin. who was followed by Judge
Fish, J. ID. Meyer, and others, each of
whom seemed to be thoroughly imbued
with the idea that critical time" in
our nations history had arrived. and
grated accordingly. The resolutions
were adopted unanimously.

Ames' Reception.

The committee on roads and bridges
reported at last nights council meeting
in favor of directing the city engineer
to advertise for proposals for the sale
and removal of the suspension bridge.
Aid. Grimes moved to amend by strik-
ing out the part of the report that re-
ferred to the sale of the bridge.
Aid. Lowell, of the committee, said
there was no serious intention of remov-
ing the bridge. but the committee
merely desired to advertise it in order
to get information through the medium
of bids. He thought no further action
would be taken for several years.
Aid. Phillips inquired why the conf
mittee had not asked for proposals for
repairing the bridge.
Aid. Downs thought the committee
was perfectly right in seeking to get all
the light possible. He hoped Aid.
Grimes amendment would net prevail.
Aid. Cole called upon Engineer Rim
ker to make a statement.
The city engineer said he had made
an estimate of the cost of renewing all
the wood work in the suspension. That
estimate was $4,000. The repairs, he
said, would make the bridge good for
ten years. He had also made an eStl-
mate of the cost of completing the
bridge. He assured the council that it
would be no more than $4,000 and not
very much less. Half of the
steel arch bridge has cost $780,
0O0. The other half will cost
say $50, 900. The city has already $4,000
in the masonry and sub-Structure of
the steel arch bridge. That $4,000 is Of
no use to the city. At per cent it
amounts to $1,000. Figuring the re-
pairs at S12,500, the interest on that
money amounts to $500 a year. The re-
pairs will last ten years. There is a
loss of s1.250 year for ten years.
The total cost then for maintaining
the bridges i'll their present condition
was s.. $50. On the other hand the in
terest on the $4,000 necessary to com
plete the steel arch bridge, would
amount at per cent, TO $500, O clear
gai n of $3.50 year. As a matter OF
economy, the engineer thought then
it would be better to go on and COM
plete the steel arch bridge.
Aid. Grimes withdrew his amend
ment and put In separate motion re-
quiring the city engineer TO advertise
for bids for repairing the suspension
bridge. The question came first upon
the adoption of the committee report,
which was unanimously agreed to. Mr..
Grimes motion was also adopted. The
engineer is thus directed to advertise
for proposals for both the repair and
the removal of the suspension. and the
council will await further information.
Meanwhile the Suspension bridge Will
be closed to heavy travel.

The University Electric Line.

The railroad committee reported in
favor of giving the street railway COM
pany permission to construct and Ope-
rate an electric line, commencing on
University avenue at the city limits
and thence on other streets as already
published. The ordinance was given
its first reading, and on motion of Aid.
Meloy, the rules were suspended and
the ordinance put upon its final
passage. On the second reading,
Aid. Smith moved an amendment
that on University avenue the company
be required to put up its poles in the
center of the street, instead of on both
sides. Aid. Gray amended to make the
tracks standard gauge, and as amended
the ordinance passed unanimously. The
only opposition was a short, sarcastic
speech from Acting President Sterling,
who called the attention of the council
to the fact that they were paralleling
another track-the Washington avenue
line-and that was an insuperable OBJ
lection to the Anderson & Douglas fran

NOW HE'S IN FOR 1T.
A Poor Soldier Who Got Too
Much Liquor.

An unfortunate regular from Fort
Smelling named Harry Dix was arrested
here yesterday and turned over to
Lieut.. Cook and Sergeant Taylor, who
came here tor him. Dix was one of the
men detailed to guard the military pris-
oners at the fort, but he got little in
tOxicated on some whisky he had Sc
cured at st. Paul. and, getting unusually
good natured. not only gave
Grady. one of the prisoners,
drink. but told him to ''cOme on"
and the two started for Minneapolis.
They both got very drunk here. and
Dix was arrested. Grady. who was for
tunate enough to escape. walked into
the lookup to see Dix, and met Ser
geant Taylor, who took him in custody.
Both men were turned over to the Off
GERS yesterday afternoon, and taken
back TO the fort, where Dix is likely to
get ten years. imprisonment, as he will
be tried on four charges-allowing prls-
Oner to escape, deSertiOn, furnishing
liquor to prisoner and stealing gun
belonging to the government.

THE ASININE TRIBUNE
Manages the Get Into DisfavOI
With the Exposition Directors.


The Exposition directors had some
thing to talk about when they came to-
gether yesterday morning-the Tribune
"a paper which boasts of its assumed
loyalty to Minneapolis, had announced
that the Exposition was failure, and
was in 1.-THE hole for S10,000," as it
phrased it. This created considerable
Indignant talk, for while the receipts
will fall behind the expenses something
like over half that amount. still the fact
need not have been blurted out in such
a cOld-bloOded and vindictive way-un-
der flaming head lines. 1t is likely
that with a good attendance to-day the
Exposition will run about $1,000
behind. Last year the Exposition
cleared $500, but T. B. Walker made
$1,000 subscription, and there were
other Subscriptions amounting to $1,000.
without which the Exposition would
have been $500 in ''the hole" which
shows them that the big show
and, all things considered, makes
a creditable showing in comparison
with last year. The attendance this
year has been smaller, but the expenses
have been less. And as approximately
something like 100000 Minneapolis
people have visited the exposition,
while the number of visitors from out
side the city has been limited to 1900.
Another criticism of the Tribune was
evidently unjust, so the directors natu-
rally kicked, and gave the Tribune
more consideration than the paper is
in the habit of receiving or deserves.
Manager w. q. Byron resigned, hav-
ing made certain business engagements

resignation was accepted with the un-

has found it impossible to accept.
