THE OFFER REFUSED.
DR.. Burreli Will Not Leave West
minister at Present.

DIR. BurreIl Will Not Leave West
minister at Present.
Rev. David James Burrell was found
seated in his coy study at the West
minister church yesterday afternoon,
hard at work upon material for his Sun
day sermon. There was satisfied eX-
preston about his face, which told that
the cares of the world had no terrorS for
him, and that fortune had put on its
sweetest smile with which to greet him.
He had little to say about his recent call
to the New York pulpit, except that he
had decided to decline the offer, and
had telegraphed the trustees to that
effect. He stated that he had received
an answer from one Of the trustees,
which stated that they had not given
him up, and would yet prevail upon
him to come.
The reporter tried to get him to say
that he would remain at Westminster,
but he evaded the question by saying
that matters remained as they had been
before. He was still pastor of the West
minister church, with no immediate ideas
of leaving it. He said that he had not
promised to remain with the church, be-
cause he had been asked for no such
promise.
The probabilities are that the call
from the New York people will be re-
newed with increased inducements,
and it remains to be seen whether or
not he will refuse the next offer. AL
though it is claimed that the Westmin-
ster church will not offer him any in
crease in salary. it is fact that offers
of various sums have been made by
different men toward an increase in the
present salary given him. 1t is not prob
able that the Minneapolis church will
let him go at any cost.

ROASTING THE BOSSES.
The COopers Finally Force Them
to Meet the Millers.

There has been but little change in the
status of the strike Of the coopers. The
men are all out with the exception of
about thirty in the Hardwood & Storage
company's shop, which was the only one
running Yesterday. The boss coopers
decided that they would not make a
formal demand of the millers for the
abrogation of the present contracts and
the raising of the price of barrels, but
Eertain other considerations may change
their minds.
"a The troopers we're OH hand early
Yesterday morning, and P. 4. Champion
took the floor to detail the story of his
visit to the Hardwood shop. When he
asked permission of Mr.. Christian to go
into the shop and talk to the men, the
latter thought he had his nerve with
him, to ask to go into mans shop with
the intention of injuring him. He,
however. consented. and both Christian
and Champion made speeches to the
men. The delegate was well satisfied
with the result Of his visit.
Then followed reports from repre-
sentatives of the different shops. Some
few of the men said something about
the worthlessneSs of the contracts, but
some of the Hennepin men were Op-
posed to any such idea. They thought
that the contracts and the contracts
done had built up the cooperative
shops, and that the men should keep
their faith.
The committee appointed to wait
upon the millers came in, and M. j..
Gill reported their interview with the
millerS as having been wholly satisfac-
tory. They found the millers not at all
favorably disposed toward the bosses.
The millers thought that If the
bosses would not come up and
admit that they could not fill
pointed in their places. The milers
were willing to release the shops from
the contracts as soon as they were ready
to admit their inability to keep them.
Mr.. Greenleaf said the millers would
not blame the coopers if they stopped
working until all the barrels were gone.
The opinion of the miilers with re-
gard to the bosses seemed to be gen.
orally shared by the men. There was a
good deal of discussion of the matter,
| and the sentiment seemed to be that
| the bosses should be discharged un-
| less they got to the front and do
what they should do. A motion
| that the bosses be instructed to hold a
meeting in the afternoon and then go to
| the Millers' association and state that
they cannot carry out contracts and de.
mand 35 cents per barrel, was made and
| almost unanimously carried.
The bosses did get together in the aft
ernoon after the coopers' committee
had done good deal of hustling to that
end. The bosses were still rather weak
| kneed, but after the punching up they
had received at the meeting of the
coopers they were anxious to do some
thing. They will meet the millers at
noon to-day, and it is believed that a
| settlement will be reached.

CHARLES p. BIDDLE DIES.
A Former Minneapolis Attorney
Dies Suddenly in Omaha.

"A tOrmer MlnnoapOi1S ACCOfncy
Dies Suddenly in Omaha.
Word has just been received in Min
neapolis of the death OF Charles P. Bid
die, which occurred in Omaha Tuesday
morning. He had been suffering from
the grip for some days and had not been
able to be at his Office. On the morn
ing in question he went into his bath
room, and soon after fell to the floor.
HIS landlady heard the noise OF the fall
and ran to the room, to find him
stretched upon the floor unconscious.
She called for an officer and together
they carried him to his room, where he
died soon after. The deceased was
forty-two years of age, unmarried, and
a native of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Biddle was formerly resident OF
Minneapolis, where he came in 1875,
and remained until July, 1887, when he
went to Omaha. He was at different
times in the local law firms of Franklin
Beebe, McNair, Goodfellow, Bailey g
Biddle. Woody, Biddle u Reed. and
Campbell q Biddle. He was fluent
talker in the German, French, Spanish
and Italian languages, and one of the
best read men of the day in current and
ancient literature. Those who knew
him we'll state that he was one Of the
most brilliant men that ever plead be-
fore the courts. He was a graduate OF
Yale college, and member of the class
of '66. He is we'll remembered in local
law circles, where his death is deeply
deplOred,

HAYS MASTERPIECE.
How the Grand Jury Law Has
Worked for a Year.

How the Grand Jury Law Has
Worked for Year.
The young man from Indiana who
now officates as United States district
attorney for Minneapolis has always
had hankering after the empty baubles
called fame, as many people we'll know,
and while member of the last state,
legislature he thought he saw a way to-
perpetuate his name in ENGRAVING upon
the statutes of the state new law gov,
erning grand jurieS. In some way UNI
known to the vulgar p0pulace he Sc
cured the passage of the law, which is
now in force. This same statute has
been tried for one year, and found
lamenta6ly wanting, so far as Henne-,
pinscOunty, at least, is concerned. ae.a
Under the old law the grand jury was
composed of twenty-five men and seven.
teen was sufficient to constitute work.
ing quorum. With eight to spare 1t was
seldom that special venire for grand
jury became necessary, and there was
but little trouble connected with this
branch of the criminal court. But Mr.
Hay framed measure which proves
that while he may be Hay, he is Hay
which has not yet passed through the
cutting and curing processes. Now the
maximum number of grand jurYmen is
only fifteen, and thirteen are necessary
for a quorum, which leaves but two to
work on.
An illustration of how the new law
works is evidenced by the return of the
grand jury venire for the April term of
court. When the grand jury
meets at the court house next
Tuesday morning it will be two short of
quorum. Three of the men drawn on
the grand jury cannot be found, and
one has been excused because of alb
sence. A special venire will have to be
made, and possibly a second may be
necessary.
Once during the past year a case SIM
liar to the present arose, and the draw
ing of special venire was required
twice. When the grand jury met on
the first day of the term there were but
ten present. A special venire of five
was made, and three were secured.
This gave enough to work on, but
second venire was required to fill out
the quota.
Expense is one count against the law
as it stands. For every day that the
grand jurors meet. whether they are
able to work or not, they must be paid.
A deputy must be paid for summonlng
the jurors on special venire every time
one is drawn, and should he be compelled
to journey to the furthest confines OF
the county, so much greater the ex-
penSe.
Verify is the present grand jury law
worthy of the colossal intellect that

c. e. COTTRELL ASSIGNS.
The Manufactures of the One
Stave Barrel in Trouble.

StaVe Barrel in Trouble.
G. E. Cottrell, who, under the firm
name of c. E. Cottrell & Co., has been
manufacturing patent barrel, has
made an assignment to Samuel A.
Booth. Mr.. Cottrell came here a few
years ago with a patent for new sort
of barrel, and began the manufacture of
it. lie was always supposed to be doing
well, as he found ready sale for his
barrels and appeared to be prospecting.
For the past few weeks. however, sew
eral suits for quite large amounts
have been begun against him, and the
Institution of these gave the first init
nation that he was not quite so well
fixed financially as supposed. But no
one, we'll acquainted with his affoirs, or
him, ever supposed that he was insOl-
vent. His assignment was surprise.
Late last night Mr.. Cottrell was
found at the West. He stated that his
liabilities are $4,000, and his assets are
between $4,000 and $4,000. Hegave as
the reason for his failure, that he
had indorsed the paper of the
Butcher Manufacturing company, of
Detroit, Mich. for about $50, 900, and he
has been compelled to take up good
deal of it. The Anchor company manu-
features and prepares the material out
OF which he makes his barrels, and he
is also heavy stakeholder in the COM
pany. That firm became involved
through the failure of Sanger Il Wells,
the coffee dealers of New York, who
went under last fall for about $500, 900.
MIR. Cottrell states that the Anchor COM
pany, of Detroit, will attempt to in
crease its capital stock from 100000
to Sl,OOo,OO0, whereby they expect
to pull through, and if they succeed it
will keep out Mr.. COttrel. He yester-
day received telegram from Detroit,
saving that all will be well.
Cottrell's factory had capacity of
about 1000 barrels per day. His barrel
is known as the one stave barrel, and
is hoped with wire. He was in no
way connected with the coopers. nor
are they at all interested in his failure.
He employed but about fifteen men.
nearly all of his work Being done by
machinery.

BUDDING PATRIOTS.
They Get Back at the Board of
Education.

Louis 3. Ind and Charles D. Meyer,
the two local shining lights of the Pa
triotic Order Sons of America, were
holding a little indignation meeting
Yesterday afternoon in the law Office of

ing was the roast contributed to the
order by the board Of education at it's
meeting Wednesday afternoon. The
assertion of Mr.. Pratt that it was an
organization of infants seemed to be
the portion of the remarks that went
down the hardest, and deep look of
suppressed gloom settled over the feat
ures of the two officers as they re-
hearsed the offensive speech.
I'VE are not babies" said Mr.. Mover.
as a flash of anger shot from his violet
eyes, "and our order has upon its ell
rollment the names of many well-knOwn
public men and millionaires. Our in
tentIons were honest in this flag mat
ter. When l obtained the list of schools
from the secretary of the board of edu-
cation Enumeration showed that there
were but forty-one9. schools to be sup
piled. Now, according to the boards
will account for five of the flags that are
lacking"
'You will remember" broke in Mr..
Ind, "that at the time our committee
made the proposition to the board OF
education it was accepted in such way
as to leave us in serious doubt as to
whether or not we would be allowed to
contribute the flags or not. The word
ing of the acceptance was such as to
leave out the name of the order entirely,
and substitute that flags would be accept
ed from all persons wishing to donate
them. The proposition was not accept
ed in the broad sense in which it was
given. We feel that we should have
the honor of the move.
"The first flags given by us were five
in number, one large and four small,
intended for the central high school.
When we came to give our order we
talked the matter over and found that
five flags had been offered the board
by outside parties-two from Luther
Yeager. editor of The North, and one
each from Charles II. Leonard, II. E.
Blaisdell and the Levi Butler post. We,
therefore, made allowance for these
and ordered thirty-two flags, which
were duly presented. We had no means
of knowing whether the flags promised
had been given or not. Ofcourse, If the
flags are needed we will give them, but
we want it distinctly understood that
ours will be accepted, and not these
others spring upon the board at just the
right time to have ours left upon our
hands. All that our order asks for is
that the flags shall be hoisted. We
don't care how they are procured"

Albert Stevens Wants a Divorce
From His Young Wife.

Albert Stevens Wants a Divorce
From His Young Wife.
There were two applications for di-
vorce filed in the district court yester-
day. One was that of Albert Stevens,
who seeks to be divorced from Mary
Stevens. Albert is no giddy young
man who has discovered that the re-
suits of matrimony are not equal to the
anticipations. but patriarchal citizen
Of seventy-three winters. Fourteen
years ago he married his wife, who was
then blooming young maiden of
tWenty-one. But May and December
never could get along together, and in
the following year Mary bOlted, nor
does Albert know where she now has
her habitation.
A sadder case is the ether. A year
ago last December William Swanson
was arrested on charge of bastardy.
When he appeared in the municipal
court he seemed stricken with remOrse
and offered to right the wrong by mar
rying the girl. They we're married. and
yesterday the wife, johanna, filed a pc
titlon for divorce in which she alleged
that as soon as they were married
William began to abuse her. to call her
vile names, and to treat her cruelty and
inhumanly. Then, she says. he fol-
lowed up that by deserving her and
leaving her destitute. Their child died
and now she wants divorce.

that the board was short about nine
flags, but as it did not look like an Of
fetal notice he paid no attention to it.
Both gentlemen stated that if an Off
cial notification was received from the
board, the flags would be furnished at
once. They were indignant because
the flags had not already been put in
use, and thought that the flags should
be tioated on other days besides national
and state holidays.
They had much to say in regard to
e personnel of the board of education,
whom they characterized as lot of old
women, with ideas about two hundred
years behind the times, without enough

bined bodies to ignite toy tirecracker.

some comparisons between the Catholic
and Protestant churches to the latter's
disadvantage. This is the substance
