interest IN the street railway systems,

for the purpose of adding to his store
OF knowledge regarding the West, its
resources and the possibilities for in
VeStment therein. He talks interest
ingly of his trip through the South,
just completed, and speaks highly of
the Southern people, characteriZing
them as the most hOspitable he was ever

SIZED UP RIGHT.

Among all the officials who sit in mag
nificent grandeur in the general offices
of the many railroads centering in ST.
Paul; there are many who do all they
can TO make life easy for those with
whom they have business. A new man
is speedily ''SiZed up' and rated at his
exact value. If he be obliging and
willing to impart information he is all
right; if he be gruff and takes pleasure
In withholding information he is all
wrong. Among all the railroad men in
the city none is better liked by all who
come in contact with him than Col. P. p.
Shelby, the new assistant general traffic
manager of the Manitoba road. He
is a recent importation from Mon
tana, and is true Montanian
in his every fiber. For many
years he was general manager of the
Montana Central. and wehn he left
Helena there was a hiatus left that can
never be filed. Not only the outsiders
who go to him on business, but the
clerks who tremble at his nod. love
him. a shadow of gloom, that has not
vet been lifted, fell like pail over the
general offices of the Montana Central
when he left and ray of sunlight pene-
trated the precincts of the Manitoba
offices when he entered its doors. He
has made most favorable impression
during the few weeks of his residence
here, and all who have met him express
the hope that he is permanent fixture.

claiming to represent Coup's Eques-

Other News Items Of a Big
Rushing, Roaring
City.

In the case of Thomas S. Barber
against Edgar c.. Bowen ct AL, Judge
Kelly has fled an order vacating the
order requiring the plaintiff to show
cause why Judgment should not be en-
tered. The questions raised in the dis
cussion of the order are novel and in
teresting. The case was heard by the
late Judge Villas, and at its conclusion,
he announced orally his conclusions
closing by directing Judgment for
the defendant, and requesting de-
PENDANTS counsel to prepare
and submit to him formal
findings of fact and conclusions of law
for his signature. Findings were pre-
pared by counsel for both plaintiff and
defendants and submitted to the judge.
But as the parties would not agree upon
what these findings should contain, the
judge took the forms prepared by each
party, intending to settle the matter
himself. Before doing so he died. The
questions are: First-Can another
judge supply the written findings? Sec
ond-Can judgment be entered upon an
oral declaration of the trial Judge and
in the absence of written findings?
Judge Kelly says: ''The general
statutes provide that upon the trial of a
question of fact by the court its de-
clsi0n shall be given in writing. and
filed with the clerk. In giving the de-
ciSion, the facts found and the conclu-
sions OF law shall be separately stated !;
judgment on the decision shall be en-
tered accordingly. 1t seems that this
obviously cOntemplates written paper
signed by the judge and filed with the
clerk. That another judge than he,
who heard the case, cannot make the
findings. is plain because they must
contain conclusions of fact as well as
law. As to the second proposition
there is no proposition of law for entry
OF Judgment upon the oral declaration
of the judge and in the absence of writ
ten findings. Whether those findings
might be waived or not, is not necessary
to decide. in this case"

CITIZENS AND ALDERMEN.
Prospective Improvements at
South st. Paul.


South st. Paul.
The South st. Paul Citizens union,
composed mostly of st. Paul capitalists
and representing fully million dollars
worth of South st. Paul real estate, met
at the stock yards exchange last even
ing and presented their views regarding
improvements in that suburb to spe-
cial meeting of the board of aldermen.
The union resolved not to spread or
make assessments except on frontage
graded, and recommended the early
grading of Lawrence avenue; also, that
the city pay for the improvement of
unassessable property A resolution
that street bridging costing over $1,000
be paid in part by the city was referred
to committee consisting of William
Foulke. o. G. Clay and A. B. Clark.
When the union was ready to present
the resolutions the aldermen had ad-
j0urned. The latter had accepted the
bid of W. e. MuIligan for grading Con-
cord avenue, from Dewane iron works
to the north limits; and Annapolis
street, excepting the railroad property,
for the levee. They also accepted the
grades of Grand avenue, and other
th0roughfares northwest of the stock
yards were established.

Chicago for the worlds fair. That is
a synopsis of what was done at the
meeting of the chamber of commerce
yesterday morning. P. II. Kelly made
a speech in which he claimed that Chi
cago was the best place for the fair. A
vote was taken, which resulted in the
chamber expressing its opinion in favor
of Chicago by big majority. After
this Wilbur A. Crafts addressed the
chamber on what he called 1.-THE lax
observance" of Sunday in this city.
The matter was referred to the eX-
ecutiYe committee, Notwithstanding
strenuous objection from Mr.. Lienau,
on the ground that the object of the
chamber of commerce was not to dis
cuSs religious topics. A communication
from man called Jones, of Tampa,
Fla, outlining a scheme for steamship
line from there to Aspinwall, was re-
ferred to the committee on transpOTta
ton. A letter from Alexander G. An

Rev. w. F. Crafts, of the American
Sabbath union. yesterday addressed the
regular meeting of city ministers. Rev.
S. G. Smith declared this city had one
of the best Sunday laws in the country,
but that il was not enforced. There
were two reasons for this: First-1he
majority of the citizens did not want
the Sunday laws enforced, Second
The lay-members of the churches
wanted office or influence in the city,
and they could not all be relied upon.
Mr.. Crafts urged the ministers to work
through a committee of members from
all churches; but, after the mayor and
the police had been touched up little,
the ministers separated without any
definite conclusions of how they are to
secure the enforcement of the Sunday

ering Embers Into Blaze.
Tia high wind of yesterday resulted
in much work for the fire department,
six alarms being turned in during the
afternoon and evening. None of the
fires caused serious damage. At 3:15 In
the afternoon a false alarm was rung
i'm from the box at the corner of Dakota
and Fairfield avenues. on the West
side, caused by smoke blowing down a
chimney in the building at 80 Dakota
avenue. Boys playing with matches IN
Phil Sittman'S barn, in the rear OF 57S
Hudson avenue, caused another blaze
at 3 40. which was eXtinguished With
out loss. At GAO an incipient blaze
was caused in the retail department of
John J. O'Leary d Sons packing
house. at 60 West Tenth street, by the
ignition of quantity of mosquito net
ting around an electric light. An hour
later some evergreen bOughS in the
window of johnson d Coz meat mar
ket, at $50 East Seventh street, caught
fire from a gas Jet, causing the depart
ment run. The most peculiar fire of
the day was in West st. Paul, near
the corner of Winifred and Charlton
streets. For nearly two weeks preVi-
GUS a fire had been Sm0uldering In the
peat beds in that vicinity, which was
famed by the heavy winds to a strong
blaze during the afternoon. When a
fire engine arrived upon the scene the
fire had penetrated the ground to
depth of nearly ten feet, and it really
looked as though the Internal regions
were coming to the surface. The hre
was eXtinguiShed with but little dill
Guilty. An apparently incendiary fire
in the rear of the residence of c. Lott,
near the corner of st. Anthony avenue
an Dale street, brought out the depart
ment at 1880. The blaze was eStin-
guIshed with a loss of about 500.
