TO CONTROL TIE TRANSFER.
Minneapolis EIilIers Propose to
Handle their Own Freight.


The Minneapolis syndicate of -four
millers, composed of G. A. Pillsbury,
W. II. Dunwoody, of the WashDurn-
Crosby company; Clinton Morrison, of
the Standard mill; II. F. Brown, of the
Dakota mill; f. l.. Greenleaf, of the
Humboldt mill; a. c. Loring, of the
Galaxy mill. and j. B. Bassetr, of the
Columbia mill, are interested in a
scheme, which, if carried to successful
completion, will place the transfer of
grain and flour to and from the mills
under their own control; and. it is
claimed at the same time. will mate
rally reduce the freight bills
while giving them better service
than they have under the present sys-
tenn. The scheme involves the consOli-
dation of the various railway tranfer
lines in the city into belt line, to be
known as the "Milers' Transfer line.''
The service given by the present Rail
way Transfer company. owned by the
st. Louis road, has been the cause of
constant complaint. Then the Mil
waukee and Omaha roads united and
built the Minneapolis Eastern, which
runs on the trestles at the rear or the
mills. but the termination of the road at
the Palisades necessitatIng an expen-
SIVG SeTNlCe Ill uGlullifS wheat has UOn0
much to add to the general dissatisfac-
ton of the millers with the transfer sys-
tenn. At first it was the intention of
the syndicate to purchase the transfer
of the st. Louis company. but the price,
S250,O00, was considered excessive, and
they decided to secure control of the
Minneapolis transfer and to COM
plete a belt line by connecting
the eastern and western transfers. 1t is
claimed that the completion of the pro-
posed belt would increase the facilities
from 125 cars per day, as at present. to
500 cars a day, and reduce the cost to
about One-half of what it is now. The
plan proposes that the corporation when
completed shall be entirely in the hands
of the millers doing business on the
falls, who will conduct the transfer
business at actual cost. so that no rail
road shall have any advantage over an
other. The new company has arrang ed
with the Minneapolis Trust company
tor funds to carry out the project, and
Charles a. PIllsbury. who is now in the
East, is generally supposed to have gone
there on business con nected with the
new enterprise.

The claim of the city for share of
the penalties collected for DELINQUENT
taxes between March and January, 1889,
was referred to the board by County
Auditor Condit, with this communica-
ton.
"a committee of the common council
of the city of Minneapolis called upon
me with verbal claim that about Sl9,-
600 of the penalties which have been
apportioned to the county revenue fund
during the past ten years should have
been given to the city of Minneapolis,
the library board and the board of edu-
cation. l asked them for statement
of their claim. and have received the en-
closed, which is very incompetent
they have any claim at all-and from
the hasty examination which have had
time to make, it is erroneous. l refer
it to you to take such action as seems
necessary and right to protect your
funds"
The report of the special committee of
the council is as follows:
We find upon examination of the
books in your Office that penalties were
collected for delinquent taxes by you
between the settlements of March and
| June, 1889, amounting to S13,O41.25,
which low stands credited to the fund.
We claim that these penalties should be
divided at every settlement upon the
basis of the taxes collected, and that
these funds now should be distributed

Lillian Lewis was greeted by an au-i
dience that fairly filed the Harris the
alter last evening. ''L'Article AZ was,
given, on the whole, a well-balancedI
presentation. Miss Lewis charms are
of e decidedly robust order, and she
does not make an ideal Cora. She por-
trays the different parts with an inten-
sty of feeling which finds vent in out
bursts that in male actor would he dis

whole, her Interpretation was ae-
eeptable. The supporting company

the requirements of the characters they
assumed; and Miss Hazel Selden, IN
whose appearance there is some
little local interest, made very ia
vorable impression, that WAS gagged. of
course, by the opportunities presented
in the minor part she assumed. The
play was well staged, and ashas been said
before, the production In its entirety
was quite satisfactory presentation of
the morbid melodrama in which the
fiercest OF human passions are given
full scope.

night, and Wednesday night LAS in

1t is good of its kind, and caught the
audience. Especially did the bridge
burning scene in the fourth act bring
down the house. Miss Bindley as
dot" child of the mountains and
mining camps, did some good bits of
comedy work, and won hearty rounds
of applause. James Horne, in the

did good work. Emile Hensel as ia

caught Oh with his clever dancing. The
rest of the company did fair work.
''Antiope" was not given at the
Grand opera last night. owing to the
company failing TO make proper railroad

TWO DECISIONS.
Judge I Gung Decides the Two Oil
. Inspection Cases.

9 1uSpeCDtOn Eases.
Judge Young yesterday handed down
two decisions in the oil inspection cases
of the Northwestern Star Oil Company
VS.. G. w. Lane, deputy oil inspector.
One decision is in favor of the oil com
pany and the other sustains the inspec-
tor. These cases arose under the law
passed by the last legislature. which
law was fathered by Freeman p. Lane,
and which the Oil company has refused
TO obey on the ground Of unconstitu-
tionality.
Tue old oil inspection law, which OBJ
tanned before the law Of 1889 went into
effect, provided for the payment of
certain fee for the inspection Of every
package of oil. Under it confusion
arose as to what constituted a package
The law passed last winter was designed
to remedy the difficulty. The new law
provides that, where Illuminating oils
are inspected in railroad tank cars,
every fifty gallons OF oil contained in
the tank shall constitute barrel, and
that the inspector shall be entitled to
the same fee tor every fifty gallons as
he would were the fifty gallons in sep
arate barrel.
Here is where the difficulty arose.
The oil company refused to pay Deputy
inspector Lane Tor every 30 gallons oil oil
III certain tank car and he therefore
refused to inspect the oil. They after
ward drew two barrels of oil from the
tank and he likewise refused to inspect
that on the ground that the company
had no right to remove the oil from the
tank before it had been inspected. The
oil company then applied for wrlts of
mandamus compelling Lane to in
spect both the tank and the
barrels on the oil company'S
terms, alleging in the complaint
that the new law, under which the dep
uty inspector was working. to be I'M
constitutional. In the two-barrel case,
Judge Young ordered that a writ of
peremptory mandamus be issued. COM
polling the deputy collector to inspect
the two barrels. In the other case, re-
garding the railroad tank car. the ac-
ton was ordered dismissed. Judge
Young holds that the matter of the con-
stitutionalty of the law of 1889 does
hot properly enter into the case. The
deputy inspector must follow the law
as it Stands, and collect tile fees which
the law urOYides
