L HS iSSloSiico Ol "A. y. COSgfOVe, on
Ohio street. narrowly escaped destrue-
ton by fire last night. by reason of a
servants carelessness. The kitchen
stove was blown into atoms, and Belin-
da's eyebrows are gone. The fire had
got low in the stove, and the girl had
recourse to that prolific source of dan
ger, the kerosene can. as a means of
working up blaze. Fhe effort was
successful, and the protector of the
pyrotechnic display barely escaped with
her life.
On Hall avenue some thirty men are
employed in grading that thoroughfare.
All are apparently capable of intelli-
gent labor, and not mere machines
They are married men, too, MANY of
them, with perhaps half a dozen chill
dren at home to support. They receive
for their days work so cents. How is
that for protected American labor? Its
all very we'll for the tradesmen to howl
about dull trade" said a Dakota ave-
nue merchant yesterday, ''but how
can trade be lively when men are work
ing for serf's wages, and trying to
make ends meet, at the same time pay
ing protection" prices for the goods
they purchase. Strike? Why it is just
y,
to take their pieces if they did.
A lecture, supplemented by series
OF scientific experiments. will be de-
llveIed at the King Street M. E.. church,
ON Friday evening, by Prof. Wyckoff,
Minneapolis.
A couple of quarrelsome West siders
named Dunarbauer and SchulZerbaum,
were arrested on a warrant yesterday
charging them with assault and battery.
The complainant, man named
Wanschyte, who resides on Oakdale
avenue, claims that Dunarbauer and
SchulZerbaum, after knocking out a
large-SiZed key of beer, proceeded to
continue the knocking-out process at
the expense of his facial beauty. When
| brought before Judge Cory the men
| were discharged for lack of evidence.
west side Ice dealers say that, de-
spite the shortness of the season for har-
yestlng, they have enough of the COM
modify under cover to last through the
| summer.
Several West side saloons have
| closed through the inability of the
! proprletors to pay the license fee.
| A noticeable movement in the real
estate market, particularly Prospect
Hill property and the vicinity of the
new bridge landing. is apparent. A
number of residence lots in that neigh
6orhood have been sold during the past
| few weeks, and the purchasers are all
| intending residents.
A social and card party was given
| last evening by Mr.. and Mrs. EbenS.
| About twenty young people were pres

and instrumental selections was gone

the evening. The occasion was the
tenth anniversary Of Mr.. ana Mrs.
| EbenS' marriage.
| Edward NJ. Nagle, who some time
| since was run over by the motor, died at
| his home on Livingston street yester-
! day, as a result of his injuries. The
| accident occurred almost a month ago,
and the unfortunate man has been I'M
conscious during the greater part of the
| time SINCE
The ice in the river made fresh
move yesterday, but after sliding about
fifty feet again became gorged.
A petition was circulated in West st.
Paul yesterday, asking that the COLI
|. tractors for the repairs on the Wabasha
! street bridge be compelled to open it to
foot passengers. Complaints of
the dilatory manner in which
| the work is being done have
been general all over the ward during
the past two weeks, and the protests
have come to head in the form men,
toned. Several copies of the petition
are in circulation, and are being signed
unanimously. The petition sets forth
that the unnecessary closing of the
bridge against foot passengers has seri-
Ously injured the trade of merchants
doing business in its vicinity, and has
also been source of great inconven-
fence to persons having to cross and re-
cross the river several times daily. The
petition will be presented to the city
council at its next meeting.
Al the meeting of West side citizens
interested in the levee held last even
ing, but little was accomplished. The
intention was to have had a joint meet
ing with the Ramsey county legislative
delegation, the members of which. how
ever. were unable to attend, and the
meeting resolved itself into an informal
talk by the citizens interested in the
levee question. There were present a
couple of dozen persons who are anxious
to recover the property decided for the
purposes of .evee. 1t was stated on
behalf of Representative Stevens, that
he was willing to do anything in his
power for the citizens of the Sixth
ward, but did not want to commit HIM
self until the sentiment of the majority
interested was made known. A request
was prepared to be handed Mr.. Stevens,
signed by all present at the meeting,
asking the introduction of the bill as it
stands, leaving the question OF amend
mentS to be dealt with subsequently.
