NO EXTENSIONS NEEDED.
The City Well Provided Against
Fires-ChiefJ Renort.

The board of file commissioners, at
their meeting last evening, heard a
communication from the Northwestern
Telephone company, relative to the
terms of the ordinance by virtue of
which the company agrees to construct
and maintain in its conduitS certain po-
lice and fire alarm wires. The compa-
ny holds that the agreement to supply
conduit space tor fire alarm wires, re-
fers only to those wires on the streets
where cOnduitS have been constructed,
and does not contemplate the removal
of wires from other streets to be
placed i'll the company'S conauits.
The commissioners take a differ
ent view of the intention of the
ordinance, and after discussion
the matter was referred to the city at
tOTney for an opinion. The board al
lowed the pay roll. amounting to Sl5.-

provement already provided for is the
new engine company on RosabeI street,
between Fourth and Fifth. This house
Is already constructed, and will be
occupied Jan. /, with an engine
company of twelve men. The
commissioners deem the city well pro-
tected with fire apparatus, with per-
haps the exception Of one district-that
in tie vicinity of Dale and University.
The nearest engine company is No. 5,
and this company, in case of a fire in a
remote port of the quarter referred to,
is frequently compelled to make a run
Of over mile. This distance is too
great to allow Of good service, and in
care of bad fire great damage would
be done before the apparatus could
reach it. 1t has been for a long time
the intention Of the department to
put in new company near Dale and
[ University, and the commissioners,
with Chief jackson, made such rec
concentration i'll their last report to the
council. 1t is noticeable, however, that
fewer fire alarms come from the district
referred to than from any other, for the
reason that most of the residents own
their own homes and are correspond.
Ingly careful to guard against danger.

THE SHAKOPEE BUTCHERY.
Gov. Merriam Offers Reward for
Arrest of the Murderers.


Arrest of the Murderers.
Gov. Merriam yesterday issued the
following proclamation, offering re-
ward of 500 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the perpetrators of the murders
at Shakopee:
Whereas, Information has come to me that
on the Eth day of December. 1899. at the
city of Shakopee. i'll the county of Scott,
state of Minnesota, John Spearman and his
wife, Johannah Speafman, together with
their grandson, George Russell. were all
found dead at the residence of said John
Spearman, each having been shot through
the head with 3S-caliber bullet,
And, whereas, From all the circum stances
in connection with the finding of the bodies
of the aforesaid mentioned persons | I'm
fully satisfied that they were most brutally
murdered by some unknown person or per
sons;
Aud, Whereas the perpetrator or perpe-
traitors of said crime have not yet been ar
rested, and the puolic safety REQUIRES their
capture, conviction and punishment for sal
offense;
Now, therefore. I, William r. Merriam
governor of the state of Minnesota, will
cause TO be paid out of the treasury of the
state OF Minnesota, the sum of s. for the
arrest and conviction OF the person or per-
sons guilty of the above-named crime. and
for such information as Will lead to the afore-
said arrest or conviction.
In witness thereof. l have hereuuto set
my hand and caused to be affixed the great
seal of the state at the capitol, in the city Of
ST. Paul, this I'D dav of December 1897.

THE WAR is OVER.
Mayor Denny Signs the Licenses
and Everything Lovely.

After all the fuss over signing the
liquor licenses. Mayor Denny yesterday
went to the city hall and placed his sig
nature upon the licenses i'll accordance
with the proceedings of South st. Paul
council. This was reported by City
Clerk Connolly to the councilmen at
their meeting last evening, ana they
passed resolution making record of
the dates of issuing the licenses together
with the date of the signing of the same.
Thus the smoke of battle clears away,
and the councilmen, in expressing their
sentiments, say that had the mayor
signed the licenses few days ago he
would not have thought it desirable to
enjOin the council! from removing him
from office, an action which he believed
to be imminent, although they had little
intention of carrying il into effect. The
whole proceeding was looked upon as
boys play by leading citizens, and, to
say the least, unnecessary. The Off
Gals declare their interneciDe fight at
an end, much to the credit of the Stock
yards city.

TWELVE CONSOLIDATE.
A Number of Missouri Companies
Join the Parent System.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, Dec. pa meeting
of the directories of five of the local
Missouri Pacific companies met here
to-day and formally consolidated with
the parent system. The consolidation
was effected by authority of an act of

Six companies of the same system will
meet at Wichita tomorrow and will be
merged in it. A meeting of the direct
DRY of another local company will be
held in New York this week and viii
also consolidate with The system. thus
making twelve companies that will lose
their identity and be swallowed up by
the big corporation. There are other
local lines that will be consolidated with
the system later. The consolidation
does not affect the rights of the munich
palitieS that hold stock.

1. Where personal property, capable of
an actual delivery, has been sold while in
the possession of the vendor or under his

must be followed by continued change of
possession, or the sale viii be presumed
fraudulent and void as against the vendor

cient as in cases where it might not be i'm
possible but would be injurious and unusual,

pened to be at the time OF the transfer.
3. Evidence in this case held to be sufi-
cient to sustain the finding of fact.

The jury Law Amendment Re

The jury Law Amendment Re-
quires Legislative Enactment.
Gov. Merriam yesterday issued his
proclamation announcing that the vot-
ers of the state had duly ratified the
constitutional amendment providing
that five-sixths of jury may return a
verdict in civil cases. Under supreme
court decisions, it is held that an af-
is not necessary that this affirmative
vote be majority of all the votes cast
at the same election. This does not
make law of the amendment. 1t will
now require legislative enactment to
incorporate it in the organic law of the
state, and it is more than probable the
next Legislature will decline to make
that enactment.
