WILL 1T BE BUILT?
The New Union Depot Scheme
Said to Be Abandoned.


Apparently the project for new
union depot in Minneapolis has been
abandoned, and although the recent
traffic arrangement made between the
Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee
roads has given rise to the report that it
would be built in the near future there
is but little if any foundation for the
rumor. W. 81. Truesdale, receiver of
the st. Louis, said yesterday that at one
time the st. Louis thought OF entering
into union depot scheme with other
roads, but as he had not heard for sew
eral years anything about it, he thought
the project had been dropped. But"
said he, 1--WE are willing to 60 into
anything of that kind if proper ar
rangements can be made. l think
that the matter has been dropped"
Quite large tract of land at the foot of
First and Second avenues south was
condemned some years since for the
purpose of a union depot. AS the mat
ter has not been talked of for some time
it is thought the scheme has been aban-
doned. Inquiry among the various rail-
road officials this morning demonstrated
the fact that in all probability such was
the case. The Milwaukee road is Oh
much higher grade than that of the
Northern Pacific, which will use the
stone arch viaduct in all probability for
some years yet. Consequently it will be
impracticable for those two roads to
unite in union station scheme. 1t will
not be necessary for those two roads to
make any such arrangements, as all the
passengers will be transferred at st.

TO talk AND SWEAT.
Meeting Of the City Council
to Discuss Public Bust
ness.
Brower's Petition for Towing
Away Garbage Received
and Referred.
Refusal of the Council to
Grant License to Browns
Comiaue.
The Braekett "Gun" Ordi-
nance Fails to PaSs--Mis-
eellaneous.

There were but few absentees last
evening when President Johnson raped
the council to order, but the lights
were out. Something had happened to
the electric light wires, and the cham
Der was shrouded in gloom. A great
amount of routine business on street
opening, widening, paving. sewer lay
ing and sidewalk building was
transacted. The first motion that
came up was the garbage question.
A proposition for the disposition OF
the garbage and refuse of the city was
received from F. P. Brewer. His plan
is that mentioned fow days ago. He
wants to build a dumping bridge at
some point between the old steamboat
landing and the Franklin avenue bridge,
put line of fiatboats Oh the river, TAX
ing it away so fast that no offensive
smell will accumulate at the dump.
This refuse matter will be taken to
Mendoza and up the Minnesota river
and used as fertilizer. He offers to
do the work for one month
for nothing. Then, if the work be
deemed satisfactory and the system be
continued, he will ask for pay. The
proposition was referred to the commit
tee on health and hospitals, but will be
scarcely considered at any length, as, it
is understood, Mr.. Brewer will ask $780,
600 per year for doing the work.

JUDGE ABELL SUED.
James ElweH Charges Him With
Conspiracy.


James Flwell, the cigar dealer, yes
terday commenced an action against l.
Vincent, G. E. Brame, Ace Abel and
P. M. Housed, and asked the court for
an injunction restraining them from
disposing of 1,5L0 cigars which had
been seized upon an alleged judgment
for SIT and costs amounting to S4.75.
Judge Smith granted temporary in
junction, and the matter will probably
come before the court to-day. 2. M.
Housed was police officer at the time
of the complaint, so that document says,
and Brame was acting as attorney, but
the plaintiff claims, was never licensed
to practice law, and has no right to do
so. He claims also that Brame. Abel
and Housed are all in partnership, shar-
ing the profits of their office.
''On or before the 18th of May the de-
PENDANTS, intending to injure, cheat.
wrong and defraud the plaintiff. en-
tered into a conspiracy for the purpose.
And it was agreed by and between
Abel, Brame and Housed that they
would employ l. Vincent to help them
in their plot against this plaintiff, and
to rob, cheat and defraud this plaintiff,
solicited /. Vincent to commence an
action against one a. ii. mayo anu gar
nishee this plaintiff. James Edwin, and
|. Vincent did as he was requested and
the plaintiff was summoned to appear
before Abel, and appeared on May %,
1890, was examined by Brame and said
justice, and, upon examination, swore
he did not owe A. III. Mayo anything,
whereupon Brame and Abel DISCHARGED
plaintiff as garnishee and told him he
might go home"
The Complaint further charges that
Abel and the other defendants con-
spired to conceal the fact that judg-
ment had been entered against Edwin
until the time allowed by law in which
an appeal could be taken had expired,
and then the cigars, which were valued
at SIS. were seized. 1t is claimed that
the Judgment was fraudulently OBJ
tanned and is void.

teresting topic was the ce1sns. Every
ton, and Immediately aftet the meeting
was called to order Aid. Parry arose to
speak upon the all-absorbing topic.
He thought committee should
be appointed from the council
whose duty it should be to
cooperate with the citizens COM
mittee, and see that every person in the
city is counted by 10 o'clock tonight,
and he made motion to that effect.
The three First ward aldermen pledged
themselves to work hard all day in TAX
ing the census. Aid. Phillips stated
thathe had already been working on
the census, and would continue to do so
to-day. He said female enumeration
called at his house and spent one and
a half hours in gossiping when she
should have been working. Aid. Fultz
said many had not been counted in his
section, but that the work is now going
on rapidly. The Eighth ward was re-
ported as not generally canvassed. AID.
Hansen said that if an enumeration had
not called upon him he would never
have heard of a census. Aid. Downs
said that he started out to canvass yes
terday and found IS uncOunted persons
Aid. Potter found thirty-seven I'M
counted persons in front of his store,
all within five minutes, without
stirring out of his tracks. Aid. Nc
Gowan took up the remark dropped by
Aid. Hansen, that the city of Chicago
could be, and has been, canvassed in
one day, and suggested that each alder
man form committee of ten or twelve
persons in his own ward, and get out
and hustle. Aid. Hansen was called
upon to explain his quick-action plan.
He said it was simply this: If one man
can enumerate one block in one hour,
he can count two blocks in two hours.
A volunteer should be assigned to
such a number of blocks as he
could cover and count every
man. Aid. Lowell thought the whole
taking of the census had been badly
mismanaged, with the aid of women,
university students and incompetents.
by the council. Several aldermen re-
ported that they knew of blanks having
been filled out by families of five and
ten and never called for by the emu
meratOrs.
MR.. DAVENPORT CALLED FOR.
After a good deal discussion on the
census matter, committee of five was
appointed, on motion of Aid. Potter, to
bring Census Supervisor Davenport to
the council forthwith. The committee
came back in about one hour and re-
ported that Mr.. Davenport was too tired
to appear. Mr.. Davenport, how
ever, sent word that the clti-
Zens' committee was well organ

enumerators. he hoped to have the city
covered by tonight. He, however, de-
sired each alderman to appoint himself
a committee of one to see that himself.

TWO WOMEN, ONE MAN.
Hotelkeepers the Sufferers from
the Actions of the Trio.


Two Minneapolis hotels, the National
and the st. Leon, formerly the Grand
Opera hotel, seem TO have been victim
lied, probably by the same man. A
week ago Monday, short, rather stout
man, with dark mustache and hair, and
a bald spot, accompanied by blonde
young woman, registered at the Nation
al hotel as "Thomas Webb and wife,"
They claimed to be professional peo-
ple," Webb an actor, and the woman a
song and dance artist, giving the pro-
prietor to understand that they were
members of the "Boy Scout" company,
as otherwise they would have been
obliged to pay their board in advance.
Shortly after their arrival, a guest of the
house overheard the woman upbraiding
Webb because he had not kept his
promise to secure her an engagement.
She demanded that he buy her ticket
ment awaited her. Within a day or
two thereafter Webb left the house,
likewise an unpaid bill. The woman
was approached on the subject. She
claimed that she was not Webb's wife
and that they had never occupied the
same room, which is believed, as Webb
is not known TO have remained at the
house over night. She said further
that Webb had stolen $40 from her
which had come from her father in
Iowa, and that he also made away with
a ticket to Denver. The woman of
course had to leave the National. She
went to the Warwick and the police
have been notified that Webb has dis
appeared.
Webb seems to be the same man as
the one who "let in'' the St. Leon in the
same way. At any rate, man answer
ing to his description arrived at that
house six weeks ago with two ladies, one
of them evidently his wife, land the other
a blonde resembling the one who was at
the National. The man registered there
as William Gilbert, and the blonde
claimed to come from Cherokee, To-, and
said that her father would pay her
board. She was stage struck, and was
to join company to be organized by
Gilbert; he, in the meantime, claiming
to be employed as paper hanger, wait
ing for the company to be organized.
About two weeks ago, nothing having
been heard from the Cherokee, To-,
father, the blonde was requested to
leave the st. Leon, which she did. Gil
bert has not stopped at that house over
night for couple of weeks, although
he has been seen within the last two
days. Mrs. Gilbert seems to be wholly
ignorant of the real state of affairs.

cenSe Yet.


On motion of Aid. Bradish the ordi
nance, reported and given its first read
ing on May 16, relating to the carrying
of concealed weapons, and providing a
system of licensing the carrying of
weapons, was taken up and placed upon
its passage. At meeting on May 16
the ordinance was partially read sec
ond time, and the section providing for
payment of an annual license fee of 50
was stricken out. Aid. Bradlsh moved
for the rensertion of the 50 fee pro-
vision, or without the fee regulation the
ordinance would, he thought, be merely
bid for the indiscriminate carrying OF
ssguns." Bradish's motion was lost, 10
to 16. Aid. Sterling moved to make the
license fee 81, but his motion did not
carry. After more discussion over the
cost of license blanks, ETC., Aid. Vande-
walker moved that the ordinance be
amended by making the license fee $40.
That motion went through with rush.
The reading of the ordinance was fin
ished, and in view of the levity which
prevailed in the council over the matter,
President johnson took occasion to 'call
down. the council and to advocate the
ordinance, which was, however, lost by
a vote of 10 to IL. Ala. Potter gave
notice that at the next meeting he
would move a reconsideration.

The Comique gets no license, and will
have to close its doors. The city attor-
ney reported that. in his opinion. the
city council has the power to,
and would be warranted in, re-
fusing a theater license to W. w.
Brown. Later the license committee
reported against the granting of a
license to the Comique, and its report
was adopted. The ordinance commit
tee then came forward with an ordi-
nance relating to theaters. 1t was to
the effect that no license be issued to
any variety theater located in the same
building with saloon. The sentiment
of the council seemed to be in favor OF
the ordinance, but on an objection from
Aid. lngenhutt it went over.
This ordinance will, if passed,
forever debar the Comique from
the amusement business, and will pre-
vent the establishment in Minneapolis
of any variety theater where drinks are
sold, a form of amusement temple
found in almost every city of any size
in the country. Under it. beer-lov ing
