COnferees on sundry Civil Bill VIII
Make Allowance for Surveys.
WAsHISGToE CITY. Aug 6.--Eenator
Allen has secured an amendment to the
sundry civil bill, now in conference, re-
iating to land surveys. 1t allows $500, 900
to be expended for the survey of public
lands. which may not be wholly agricul-
tural, and which will allow lands not set
tied upon in the new states to be selected
for the grants made in the enabling acts.
The commissioner of the general land
Office is empowered to let contracts at the
increased price of SIS, $15, and $12 per
mile when the lands are mountainous or
heavily timbered. All the members of
congress from the new states have been
asking for these changes, SO that the
grants may al once be selected.

Delay of Action on Forfeiture BIN.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 6-There is q
delay in reaching an agreement on the
amendments to the land grant forfeiture
bill. 1t comes from the position of several
Southern members, who now take the posi-
ton directly opposite to that laid down in
the campaign literature for the past few
years. They want action such as to allow
certain roads to acquire those portions of
the grants not yet earned. but which from
present indications may be earned in the
near future The Northwestern states,
which have been the ones chiefly interested.
are willing to declare the forfeiture, but
now that it is their own property that is in
volved, the South objects.

ANOTHER NEW THEATER.
e. e. Davidson Will Rebuild the
Grand Opera House.

Ever since the burning of the Grand
opera house the question has from time
to time arisen as to the future use OF
the property. AS is well known, the
front or Office part of the building was
uninjured, only the theater proper
being destroyed. The theater~in the
rear of the Grand block on Wabasha
street was completely Quilted by the
cOnf1agratiOn OF mysterious origin, but
the stone walls still remain standing,
and are comparatively intact. That the
theater was not rebuilt after the fire is
due to the fact that Mrs. Davidson,
wife of the commodore, was OPP
posed to any portion of the davidson
estate being converted into playhouse
uses. Recently the estate of the late
commodore has been partitioned among
his heirs, and by the division the old
Grand opera house property passed into
the hands of Edward E. Davidson, son
of the commodore. Young Mr.. David
son has not religious scruples about
theaterS and is of stern business in
stincts. He has had in contemplation
the rebuilding of the Grand, and for
several weeks has been quietly at work
upon the preliminary steps in that oil
rection. So fully impressed is he with
the connection that such step would
be to a good business man that orders
were issued several days ago
to clear away the debris of the fire, and
this preparatory work of rebuilding has
been going on under the direction of
George Cunningham, for long time
the builder for the Davldsons. A day
or so ago a Chicago theater architect
was summoned to cons ultation and is
now in the city in conference
with j. G. MacCarthy, being the
architects for the Davidsons. The
plans have not fully matured, but it can
be asserted with pretty safe assurance
of realization, that the Grand opera
house will be reconstructed and be made
one of the finest places of amusement in
the Northwest. The general public will
no doubt hail this determination of Mr..
Davidson's with rejoicing. The old Grand
was popular with the public and the
members of the profession, and the new
grand to be erected will be in all its ap-
pointments worthy of the patronage OF
theater-gOerS.

Four Hundred Standing Room
Tickets Issued for the High
School Commencement Exer-
cises Tonight.
The management of the high school
commencement exercises announce
that every seat in the auditorium of
the Peoples church has been taken
and that four hundred standing room
tickets have been issued besides. The
doors will be open promptly at 7:30, and
those holding reserved seat checks are
urged to be present as much before
s O'Clock as possible, and not to
wait until the last moment, as is so
often the case, for it will be impossible
to seat so great a number of people
with any inconvenience to themselves
unless a large proportion attend early.
The holders of the standing room"
tickets will not be admitted through
the church doors till after s o'clock.
The capacity of the auditorium has not
been over taxed, and the exercises will
not begin until all have had ample op-
portunity to be admitted. No standing
room tickets were issued year ago.
but this year an effort has been made
to accommodate larger number OF
people. The programme for the even
ing is:

AhOAO 40 iAAoOAS III ti1S Gil
Prominent members of the Republi-
can party in Ramsey county are hot, very
hot. 1t all originates from Gov. Mer-
RAMS early convention move. The Op-
position came to light yesterday
when a petition was put in
circulation protesting against the
holding of the Ramsey county conven-
ton tomorrow. This protest is not
only being signed by anti-Merriam men,
but also by supporters of the slick young
governor. They are, indeed, a mad set
of men. Col. j. Ham Dawson voices
their objections in these words:
A protest is being circulated against the
snap convention called, and bitter opposi-
ton exists against the attempt of Merriams
strikers to force an early convention in his
behalf. 1 signed the protest, which was
headed by such men as j. NJ. Drake, Ex-
Gov. Austin, Eli Warner and others.
1t is claimed that the calling Of the
convention three days after the publlca-
ton of the official notice, is entirely in
opposition to resolution passed by the
convention of 1856, which reads:
By Delegate Leyde-That lin calling pri.
maries and county conventions hereafter in
InlS county, WHEN CQer6 SIdll pc UepeuUlilS
on the result thereof the nomination OF state
or congressional officers, it shall be the duty
Of committees making such calls
to give ample time in which
any candidate or parties interested
voters of the county may inform themselves
regarding the merits of the candidates for or
against whom they are to vote; not less than
twenty days time to be given for the can
vass, except in cases where it may be posi-
BILE to do so.
But the "kid" element. who appear to
have full control of the Republican
party, have little regard for such reSO-
lutiOnS. They are too much the willing
workers of the governor to pay much
heed to such trifes. 1t is certain that
the convention will be held tomorrow,
and the protestants may lump off, for
what the MacMartin. Henry Johns and
Darius Reese crowd care.
Darius f. Reese, the secretary of the
committee, protests that every act of the
committee was in good faith. "They
charge us with being unreasOnably pre-
cipitate," said he, "but that is unjust.
The convention call is not new.
We took pains to have it an
nounced in all the papers some
two weeks ago. The apportionment
was made then and all the details ar
ranged, with the exception of naming
the inspectors who are to serve at the
caucuses. The meeting last night was
merely to elect the inspectors,
and cannot see what the
kick is they have coming.
l know we have treated all parties hon.
estly. We canvassed the question care
fully and decided upon the details, but
we did so without any Interior motive,
and am surprised that Albert Scheffer,
or any one else, should howl"

Valuable Points of Law Which
Attorneys Would Do Well
to Note.

The case of S. w. Farmer, appellant.
VS.. Oliver Crosby ct. al. respondents.
which was decided in the supreme court
by partial reversal of the order of the
court below, grew out of that of Crosby
VS.. Farmer, 80 Mimi, sos, in which the
plaintiff here was the defendant and
Oliver Crosby the plaintiff and S. P.
Crosby his attorney, and the Judgment
which was set aside as void because
there was no service of the summons
upon the defendant. 1t is alleged that
in the former action the present defend
ants fraudulently and maliclously pro-
cured an officer to make false return
of personal summons of the service, and
that, knowing such return to be false,
they caused Judgment on defendant to
be entered against the present plaintiff,
execution to be issued and his personal
property to be taken. The court below
dismissed the action as to both. Fol
lowing is the supreme courts ruling:
S. w. Farmer, appellant, VS. oliver, Crosby
ct al, appellants. Order affirmed as to S.
T. Crosby and reversed as to Oliver.
MITCHELL j.
An attorney is liable to third persons
for damages for causing process to be
issued at the instance of his client only
when he acts dishonesty, with some
sinister view or improper purpose of his
own, which in law amounts to malice.
But the party to the action who causes
process to be issued upon void judg-
ment is even in the absence of malice
liable for the act of the officer in levy
ing on property in obedience to the
writ. The rule that party is entitled
to any relief consistent with the case
made by the complaint and embraced
within the issue" held to apply to case
where the allegations were that the de-
PENDANT maliciously and fraudently
procured an officer to make false re-
turn of service of summons, and upon
such false return entered judgment
by default against the defendant
therein, execution to be issued and
his personal property to be levied on,
while the proof, failing to establish
malice or fraud, showed that the officers
return was in fact false and that the
plaintiff in the action caused judgment
to be entered and execution to be issued;
that the judgment was subsequently set
aside, and that after the judgment was
thus vacated, the officer III obedience to
the execution levied on the property Of
the defendant in the writ. When a
party has established cause of action
for nominal damages it is error to dis
miss the case where the recovery of
nominal damages would carry costs.

Questions for the jury.

Omaha Railway Company, appellant. Order
affirmed. MITCHELL, j. G.
Held, that upon the evidence in this
case, the negligence of defendant and
the contributory negligence of the de-
ceased were questions for the jury.
While life tables are admissible to
assist the jury in estimating the ex-
pectation of life, they are not essential.
The jury may make their estimate from
the evidence as to the age and health of
the person. 1t is not error that par
ticular instruction to the jury is incom-
plete or does not present the whole law
of the case, provided the whole charge
taken in its entirety fully and fairly
presents the law in manner not calcu-
lated to miSlead.

The Norwegian Danish Evangelical Luth-

ents. Judgment reversed.
MITCHELL, j.
The description in an affidavit for a
mechanics lien is sufficient if it so
points out the building and the land on
which it is situated that they can be
identified with reasonable certainty by
applying the description to the land. 1t
is not necessary to give the common
name of the building. The essential
thing is to describe it so that 1t can be
identified, and if this be done 1t is sub
stantial compliance with the require
ments of the statute. The rule of de-
scription, as in the case of deeds, is that
if the building and land be once suffl-
GENTLY described the addition of a
circumstance, false or mistaken, will
not vitiate the description. and
in an action by a subcontractor to
enforce lien. the original contractor is
a necessary party. If he be named as a
defendant in the title of the action. but
not brought in as party by service of
the summons on him, the proper practice
is for the court, upon the suggestion Of
the fact, to continue the action or delay
the trial until he be brought in as a
party. If the plaintiff has unreasonably
delayed to make such service, motion
may be made to dismiss the action.
