A STRIKE THREATENED.
The Coopers Say They Are Not
Making O Living,

A general strike among the coopers is
threatened. They claim that at the
present rate of wages they cannot
make respectable living. A cooper
who is member of the Knights of
Labor, and intimately acquainted with
the subject, is authority for the follow
ing statement:
:, "The price of the best barrel is now
but SO cents. Three years ago the big
strike was brought to raise the price
from "a cents, and it succeeded in rails
ing it to So. Six years ago the price of
barrels was So cents. Men are now
working for from ~ to cents barrel,
average about 81 a week in the cooper
alive cooper shops, and in one of
these shops in the last six months
the men have had to pay $50 apiece
loss in the business. This is about
the general condition, and when CO.
operative shop can't make money the
others cannot. The boss shops also are
losing money. The price in Miuneap-
Oils is lower than any other place in the
United States, and the men absolutely
cannot live through the winter on their
present wages. Their condition is
deplorable. The condition was
DroughG aQQuG py the mllierS urg-
ing the prices down and the times
dull and competition sharp. Of
course you can not blame the millers:
neither can you blame the men for
striking. 1t was just these circum-
stances that caused the big strike
before, and they are bound to
cause one now. The coopers are not
organized, but the moment one shop
takes the lead every shop in the city
will follow. and some day there will be

nue. south, was before the court OH a

and lacerated the flesh in terrible
manner. Nelson offered to kill the
dogs, but the court thought he should
be punished aud imposed fine of $40
with the alternative OF working it out
at 81 per day OH the rock pile. He paid
the fine and promised that the dogs
would never trouble any one else.

The City and County Building
Commissions Annual Meeting.
The board of court house and city hall
commissioners met yesterday morning
at its rooms in the Boston block. W.D.
Washburn and d. NJ. Clough being alb
sent, Commissioner johnson was elect
chairman of the meeting, and the board
proceeded to dispose OF the business be-
fore 1t.
The annual report of the treasurer
was the first business submitted for the
consideration of the commission. and
showed balance of sllss 052.46 up to
and including Dec. 81. The warrants
paid since last report aggregated $45-~
$3.50, leaving balance on hand at the
beginning of this year of S72, 164.66.
The report of the secretary showed
the total receipts to be s6l4.049.0l, and
a total expenditure of S541, SS4.35, leav-
ing a balance on hand OF S72, 1916. The
report showed that the board was au-
thorized to issue "city and county"
bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900 each,
aggregating S1,500,000. of which $780,
600 OF the former and S335.000 of the
latter have been sold, leaving $915,000
in bonds yet unSOId. The amount of
premiums received shows SlS.9l7 on the
city series and $1,000 on the county
series. The total net cost of the block
on which the building is to be built
amounts to S321.40S. The amount ex-
pended in eXcavating, building and ma
terials is Sl7l,SS5.l7; architects fees,
$4,000; other fees, 5,363S0; furniture,
S1,1l27l: pr hitting, S5,3O6.S1. The re-
port of the clerk of the works shows the
work to be progressing, and without ac-
cident or blunders.
City Attorney Russell requested that
the fence along the Fourth avenue line
be lowered, and considerable discussion
arose over the matter.
Nothing then remained before the
board but the election of officers, and
some proposed electing the old off GERS
by reclamation. This was opposed by
Others on the ground that they should
elect q president who would attend, as
Senator Washburn was never there. and
seven ballots were taken before the
board could come to an agreement. On
the seventh ballot ID. NJ. Clough re-
ceived seven votes and Aid. Johnson
one. E. N. Johnson was then elected
vice president and Lars Swenson treas
urer. After deciding that the bonds for
the coming year should aggregate $3.50,
600 as heretofore, the board adjourned.

But No Inquests Are Deemed
Nee eSSaPy,

Walker Hughes, locomotive engi-
neer aged thirty-two years, died sud
denly yesterday at the home of his
brother, Charles Hughes, S12 Fourth ave-
nue. north. For number of years he
had been suffering from asthma. About
a month ago he went to Iowa, but re-
turned to his brothers house Monday.
He complained of feeling badly, and
Charles sat up with him until 2 O'Clock
in the morning. Owing to his malady
he was unable to lie down, and he went
to sleep in his chair. When Charles
went into the room OF o'clock he was
dead. Coroner Towers had the body
removed to Connelly's morgue, and a
post mortum examination showed that
death resulted from consumption. No
inquest will be held.
Otis q. BrOWn, well known resident
of the village of Osseo, committed sui
eide either on Saturday or Sunday last
by shooting. The body was discovered
yesterday by some Of his neigbors, and
the coroner was notified and after an
examination that Official decided that no
inquest was necessary. Mr.. Brown was
seventy-cight years old, very odd in his
behavior and very deaf. The neighbors
are of the opinion that the old mans in
trinity was the foundation for his &C.
centriclty. He was divorced from his
wife about twenty years ago and was
spiritualist in religion. Two sons
survive him and live on farms near by.
OF late he has kept diary of his condi-
ton. This was scattered about on
scraps Of paper which were found
among his effects. The last Of these
notes bore the fact that he was about TO
take his life, and gave directions for the
disposal of his effects. The old man
also wrote q funeral sermon several
months ago which he had left in the
hands of u neighbor, with the instruc-
tons to have it preached over his re-
mains. He was a carpenter by trade.
and among the things about his hut was
a coffin which he told others was made
for himself. He was born in Massa-

IN THE CRIMINAL LIST.
Some Important Cases Which Will
Come Up This Month.

The trial of the cases on the criminal
court calendar will begin again Jan.
20, and some quite important cases are
included among those which are to come
up. The trial of Walter j. Ballard and
Amos Bostwick, president and secre-
tary respectively of the late Northwest
ern Collection, Loan and Trust associa-
ton. are set for Jan. 20. They were In
dicted for grand larceny in the second
degree. The case against Lena Lep-

through its connection with the Brack-
ett-Maben affair, is also set for the

cured the indictment of his old-time
enemy, c. B. Maben, will try to get the
satisfaction out of the publisher of the

How Much Must Be Raised,
Where From and What For.

An abstract of the tax levy for the
year of 1890, which was given to the
county treasurer on Monday, was yes
terday issued to the public by County
Auditor Condit. 1t gives the total val
uation of property i'll both city and
county, the amount of tax to be raised,
and the amount of the levy which will
be set aside for certain purposes in the
city and in each ward; only the amounts
for purposes which are of general in
terest are here given. The total amount
OF the tax levy this year is 1885, ZOO
more than last year, and in the as
sessment rolls there were $1,000 more
items than in 1889, entailing vastly more
work than before. The lateness of the
issuance of the abstract is due wholly
to ia GRIPPE" which disabled several
of Auditor Condit's men at critical
moment.

of property in every town and village
