ExPosITIoNAIITIEs.
The Exposition Getting in Place
A Demand for Floor Snace.

"A Demand Tor Floor Space.
The work at Il e position building
goes on apace, nd each day large con-
signments of mer .handise arrive. and
only awaits tie finishing of the stands
and Enclosures to be placed in position.
The material for the great Edison eX-
hibit has arrived. and is being unpacked
in a room IN the gallery. There is a
large quantity of the great electricians
inventions, and the display will be one
of vast interest to visitors. The work
about the light we'll goes OIL rapidly and
will be in shape in ample time. The art
gallery is filed with busy wOrkmen,
who are unpacking and hanging the
costly paintings from abroad. The cam
vases are numerous, and some OF them
the most beautiful that have ever been
displayed in Minneapolis. This will be
favorite resort for lovers OF art. to
which the long line of paintings from
the hands of the old masters and OF the
modern will form an endless study.
Although the space has been nearly all
allotted to exhibitors. they still are COM
ing, and it is a question as to whether
there will he enough floor room to go
around. Many of the out of town ex-
hibits are beginning to arrive, and will
be placed in posi- ton during the first
part of next week. 1t seems incredible
that the huge affair could be ready. on
time, but when it is understood how
widely the work will be distributed it
can be readily seen that it is only the
work of couple of days to have things
in splendid shape.
The Pain spectacle seems to awaken
the most interest. and all day long
crowds of visitors flock to the inclosure
to view the placing of the scenery, and
speculate as to what the numerous pre-
parations are to bring forth. The people
who are to take part in the immense
production are being drilled daily. and
by the time the evening comes for the
first performance everything connected
with it will be in running shape. Sew
eral hundred people are to be used, and
the management of such vast army OF.
subordinates is not an easy task. 1t is
probable that by Monday the huge
building will show signs of the work
that is being put upon its interior.

Killing a Rat.

Detroit Free Press.
Two or three mornings ago boy
brought out a rat in trap on the as
phalt pavement of Cass avenue. A ter
rier dog was leaping and dancing around
him, and before he reached the middle
of the street dozen men and boys and
two or three more dogs had stopped to
see the fun. The boy looked as if he
knew enough to manage rat, but there
is always boss for every such occasion.
In this case it was short, fat man with
a very big cane, and he took the trap
from the boy and said:
rTheSe things must be managed right,
or away goes the rat. Now, then, every
body get stick or club or something,
and call up them dogs"
Every body armed himself, and cir
Gle was formed, while no less than five
dogs were enclosed. The man held the
trap up, looked around to see it every
thing was all right, and said:
"Now, then, the rat will be turned
loose on the community"
So he was. and there. was rush of
men, boys and dogs. Everybody struck
at the rat and hit every thing else, while
the dogs made one grab for him and
then punched together in fight. Three
hats were knocked OFF, two boys sat
down on the pavement to howl, and the
rat lodged about and ran under the
sidewalk. When he had gone the tat
man stood puffing, a broken cane in his
hand and his hat Oh the ground, and
finally mrnaged to say:
"H-hang it! You-you fellows don't
know huff to pound sandr'
You are liar!' yelled four or five
voices in chorus. and after everybody
had spit on his hands and said he could
knock every body else's head off. the
convention broke up and left the empty
trap in the middle of the street.

BELT LINE RAILROAD.
Work Soon to Begin on the Bridge
Across the River.

Work Soon to Begin on the Bridge
Across the River.
j. B. Bassett. F. c. Pillsbury, Samuel
Hill, W. ii. Dunwood and the other
gentlemen composing the Minneapolis
Western Railway company, have de-
clded to build an iron bridge across. the
Mississippi river, near the Tenth ave
nue. south bridge. thus connecting the
Touring mills and the railroad tracks on
the opposite side OF the river.
Early in the spring it was announced
that the millers would build belt line.
but the original scheme has been so
much enlarged upon that it now pre-
sents but few of the original features.
The plan at the outset was to surround
the flour mills with tracks, but negotia-
lions with other companies did not ter
inmate satisfactorily. and the Western
company went to work on big scheme
to bridge the river, and thereby COM
plete one of the most perfect belt line
systems in the country.
The Minneapolis Western Railway
company has purchased all OF the
ground between the Palisade mill and
the gas works, just below the Tenth
avenue south bridge. and the conf
pany has also secured the right of way
of the Pillsbury w ashburn Milling COM
pany on both sides of the river, and
they propose to build an iron bridge.
crossing the river at an angle below
Tenth avenue south and ending in the
cut near the Cascade falls, adjoining the
university grounds. The length of the
bridge will be 800 feet, and it will be so
built as to carry cars holding LOCO bush
els of wheat. 1t may be necessary to
build a stone arch bridge over that part
of Tenth avenue south crossed by the
railway. The yard tracks, when COM
pleted, will have a capacity of 600 cars,
and will require several acres of ground.
much larger than any railroad yard in
the city. This belt line road will con-
meet with every road running into Min
neapolis, and it is this fact that makes
the deal one of so much importance to
the city.
Among the important features in this
connection are the following: There
will not be single grade crossing, so
that the company will not experience
delay in transferring cars, and
the public will not be in any
danger from accidents. The line be-
ing Independent of passenger travel will
not be compelled to conduct its business
with the annoyance of giving right of
way to passenger trains. The line also
makes it possible to locate all kinds of
manufacturing on property that will
connect the investors with every road in
this city, and free from the annoyance
of awaiting the pleasure of one road for
the delivery or shipment of cars and
freight.
Work will soon be begun on this i'm
provement, which will cost way up in
the thousands. and add much to the
value of the Minneapolis milling prop

Confusion of Names.

There was peculiar case up in the
district court yesterday. The action
was begun to settle the identity of" two
men of the same name, that of n. P.
Nelson. The controversy is over some
ya9 Ghod land nne e OF the ne acton Non
wegian PIow Company. The complaint
explains that Trunberg came into pos
session of the property by deed from
one N. p. Nelson. Later the pIow
works got a judgment against certain
N. z. Nelson for S237.30. SO the plow
works lay claim to the property, which
lies in Paramount addition. Now the
plaintiff claims the two men are not the
same at all, and that the pillow works
has no claim on the land at all.

MCCAFFERTY DETERMINED.
Attorney Hart Refused as Bonds

Attorney Hart Refused as Bonds
man for Alleged Census Pad
ders.
''Mr. Hart is an attorney of record in
these cases and l won't take him as
surety on the bonds" remarked United
States Commissioner McCafferty yester-
day afternoon in st. Paul. when that
gentleman offered to sign his name to
the bonds of the five Minneapolis cep-
SuS enumeratOrS, who appeared to enter
into recogniZance for their appearance
to answer any Indictment found against
them by the federal grand jury, for con-
spring to pad the census returns.
At two O'Clock, the hour set for Civ
ing the bond, Wood, Knapp, Jones,
Plummer and Weber appeared in the
grand jury room Of the federal build
ing. accompanied by Attorney Hart, w.
II. Eustis and Ed Stevens. Commits
siOEer McCafferty was in waiting and
announced that he was ready to have
the bonds signed. Each of the enumer
ators signed the bonds and ". Ell. Eus-
tbs signed as one of the Sureties.
Mr.. Hart offered to sign as
the other surety, but the
commissioner objected. and stated that
a rule of the United States district court
prohibited the taking of an attorney as
surety.
Mi. Baxter and Mr.. Lawler said they
thought it would not invalidate the
bonds if signed by Mr.. Hart, and indi
Gated their willingness to accept him as
surety. The commissioner sent for a
book containing the rules of the court.
He read the nle which provides that no
attorney shall be accepted as surety OH
an appeal or any other bond in court
case, and then announced his deter
mination to hold to his original ruling.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. BaX-
ter suggested that the rule might not
apply to the cases, as they were not in
court. and that the reason of the rule
was for the protection of an attorney,
and did not disquslify him as surety.
Mr.. Hart even suggested that he would
withdraw his appearance as attorney i'll
the cases if the commissioner would &C
cept him as surety. 1t was then ar
ranged that the enumeratorS and Mr..
Eustis should qualify. and another
surety would he furnished. The cases
were then adjourned until IL O'Clock
this morning, when the other bondsman
will be on hand.
William p. Murray was in attendance
to see how matters we're conducted. He
submitted gracefully to the quiZZing and
good-natured Gliding of Mr.. Eustis. and
respectfully declined the humorous
proposition to be one of the bonds
men.
The bonds of Plummer and Knapp
were fixed at $4,000 each, and those of
Weber, Wood and Jones at $1,000 each.

Saving of the Spiggo.

At the meeting of the construction
committee of the court house and city
hail commission yesterday morning, ac-
ton was taken looking toward cutting
down expenses. and, in meas
ure, appeasing the wrath of an in
dignant public. The architects who
have been employed on the structure
met with the board. After long dis
cussion the commission decided to use
brick in the walls of the basement and
first story, instead of Kettle River stone.
as called for in the contracts. This was
done on the score of economy.
There are three reasons for this
change in material in the court walls.
To begin with brick will cost over S, 600
less than Kettle river stone, rs proposed
on the start. Then the commission
has learned that the Kettle river stone
gets discolored very badly III few
years. In the third place, it will be al
most impossible to get the stone just at
present.

Resolution of Endorsement Adopt
ed by Joint Committee.
The scheme to have the city lighting
done by the city has again been Endorsed.
At meeting of the joint committee on
public lighting from the trades and
labor assembly, the Nationalist club and
the Single Tax league, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas After q careful and thorough in
vestigation by the city council, it has been
demonstrated that municipal ownership of
city lighting plant is not only the best, but by
far the most economical; and
Whereas The council has already received
the report of the committee and has accepted
such; therefore. be it
Resolved That we, the delegates of the
different economic organizations of the city,
urge upon the council the adoption OF the
report as accepted and in order to bring
ABOUT as complete an expression of public
opinion as possible, would recommend that
all organizations represented by this COM
mittee take immediate action to urge the
above course upon the members of the city
council and appoint committees to be pres
ent and take careful report of all action on
this matter,

CREDITORS WANT MONEY.
j. S. Schroeder Will Probably
Have to Turn Over. So, 1000.

The assignment matter of R. M.
Walter & John S. Schroeder, of De-
Iano, Mimi, druggists, was up before
Judge Hooker yesterday afternoon.
The action was brought to compel
Schroeder to turn over to the court the
sum of $4,000 that he has lately received
from the sale of certain lots, SO that the
same may be distributed among the
creditors. The principal charge is
made by the creditors that the insOlv-
ents and their assignee have entered
into a conspiracy to defraud creditors.
Mr.. Schroeder makes an answer to this
charge that he did not list the $500 in
his list of assets, and that the property
was decided to him by his mOther-in-
law without his knowledge or consent.
The heaviest creditors are the assignee
himself, John A. BraZie and Moves
Bros, i'll st. Paul.
The court held that as near as he could
see he would have to order Dr.. Schroeder
to turn over the s., 500 received for the
property. If a man was allowed to-
transfer his property to whom he pleased
after assigning. creditors would never
be safe. The court did not make any
final decision in the matter.
