HARD OR SOFT?
The Court House Commission Still
Undecided on the Stone Cues

The Court House Commission Still
Undecided on the Stone Ques-
ton.
The meeting of the city hall and court
house commission yesterday morning
was not productive of any radical result,
although the bid for the construction
of the building must be either accepted
or rejected tomorrow afternoon, and it
is about time for the commissioners to
make up their minds whether they in
tend to proceed with the work of erect
will come within the appropriation of
81, 100000. A petition, said to have 904
signatures, was presented, which asks
that the superstructure shall be
built of garnite, the argument
being used that "if granite is used. 80
per cent will be expended in the city
and the balance in the state, and there
by support home industry and work
men: whereas il other stone is used at
least Is per cent will go directly to other
states, whereby workmen and the peo-
pie of this city will receive no benefit
whatever" There was a second petit
ton to the same effect said to be signed
by fifty-nine Hennepin county farmers.
The commission then went into an
executive session which lasted nearly
until noon. 1t did not develop that
any of the commissions had changed
their minds on the stone question. 1t
was decided that there should be an
other conference with citizens. So
members of the board of trade, jobbers,
union and other similar organizations
were requested to meet with the COM
mission again tomorrow morning at Q
O'clock

ADJUSTMENTS.

Shepard's Modern Ministries opened
a four nights stand at the Bijou last
night to the entire seating capacity of
the house. The burnt cork show will
always be much the same, though more
has been done to moderniZe this one by
the introduction of novelties and some
respectfully funny new jokes thanin any
other minstrel company that has ap-
peared here for some years. The first part
presenting characters from Gilbert q
Sullivan'S operas, was very enjoyable,
the selections being sung by good voices.

AARONS COMPLAINS.
The Ex-Enumerator Insists That
He Is Being Prosecuted.

The Ex-Enumerator Insists That
He Is Being Prosecuted.
Ben Aarons, ex-census enumerator.
was in querulous mood yesterday at
the county Jail. He did not enjoy soli-
tude. He protests his innocence. and
complains that he is being prosecuted.
This is about the way his conversation
ran:
''You can't imagine how I have suf-
fered in the last few weeks. On the
4th of July received telegram from
my mother in Louisville announcing
the death of my father. l had no
sooner got back from the funeral than L
had to be bounded by the st. Paul de-
tectives. And my wife suffers worse
than | do. I telegraphed her yesterday
to meet me at WayZata, and when she
did scarcely knew her. She's a little
woman anyway, but she has grown thin
as shadow. OF course she does not
appreciate the situation l am III and
thinks that am being chased for some
awful crime. / am not afraid OF any
prosecutions and for that reason object
to being locked up as criminal"
Then he detailed where ne had been
since leaving Minneapolis. First, he
= Went TO WalorCOWn. .. ", WHcIo uO
worked for while in a cigar factory.
IsAfterward he went down to Beardsley.
sAarons insists that he never thought OF
going to Canada. or of jumping his bail
bond, asserting that he has always been
ready to return to Minneapolis or St.
Paul when wanted.

Employees of Soap Factory In.
jured by an Explosion.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 14.-At $3.50
this morning an explosion originating
from some unknown cause occurred on
the third floor of the Kendall Manu-
featuring company's large soap factory.
at the corner of Page and Friendship
streets. The principal damage was
done on the third floor, where flames
burst forth and acids were thrown
about. There were seventy persons at
work there. and of these ten we're taken
to the hospital badly burned. Michael
Carroll, thirty-fve years old, and John
McElroy are probably fatally injured.
Their clothing was torn from their
bodies, and their flesh burned and bis
tered so badly that it dropped off in
patches. Most of the others injured
we're young boys engaged in packing.
Their names, as far as can be learned,
are: William Quinn, John Brennan.
John Sexton, John McCauley, Will
lam Cullen, Peter McNiff. Will
lam Kelly, Matthew Mccormack, Frank
Mccormack, Thomas P. Crue, Frank
Dyer, Louis Cole. John Coleman and
William Geary. Cole. who is a lad OF
eleven years, jumped from second
story window into the street. Coleman
succeeded in reaching the street with
his clothing on fire. The flames came
with the suddenness of flash of light
ming. and those in the rear part of the
room suffered most.

The Flour Output.

Owing to the prevalence of low water,
the flour output showed further de-
cline last week, says the Northwestern
Miller. The aggregate production for
the week was 1876. 275 barrels-averaging
%. 712 barrels daily-against 1854 bar
reis the week before, and 12l, 300 barrels
for the corresponding time in 1889 and
ia 800 barrels in 1888. The lack of
water power continues to be an impor-
tant feature of operations on the plat
form. The head of water is rather
poorer this week than last. and the mills
possessing steam are fast placing it in
use. There were eleven mills employ
ing steam Thursday, three of which
had disconnected their water wheels
entirely. The number of mills running
at the time was seventeen, and they
we're producing at the rate of about
5000 barrels per twenty-four hours.

THE LAWYERS ARGUE.
Milling Litigation Enlivened by a
Bit of Cutting Repartee.

Milling Litigation Enlivened by a
Bit of Cutting Repartee.
The argument in behalf of the plant
ifs in the Washburn mill lease injunc-
ton suit was resumed yesterday, and
was on before Judges Hooker and
Young the entire day. j. B. Gil
fillan continued his argument upon the
point raised yesterday that J.Washburn
was prejudiced director in the execu-
ton of the lease to the Washburn-
Crosby company, He also attacked
Judge Shaw's position on the subject of
the official seal, namely that it was not
indispensable to the validity OF the case:
The whole days argument would have
been devoid of interest we're it not for a
tilt between Judge Shaw, of the de-
Tense, and A. j. Shuores, attorney for
Holmes, the plaintiff.
The latter said that it had been sug-
gested by the opposing counsel that the
plaintiff must go through the formality
of calling meeting of the board of di-
rectors before seeking relief at the
hands of the court Then, if the board
did not take action, 1t is further sug-
gested that he call similar meeting of
tine stockholders.
'sAll of this proceeding" continued
the smooth-tongued lawyer, lis not of
the slightest use. because the threat
ened action which the complaint sets
forth will not take place three weeks
or month from now, but Immediately.
l cannot conceive Of such argument be-
ing advanced by as old and advanced a
member of the bar as | know the coun-
sci on the other side to be. Coming as
it does from him, it seems like an act of
imbecility."
81 wish you would at least be merci-
full to my stupidity, MI. Shores" inter-
rupted the sarcastic Judge Shaw.
''I'll try to be merciful toyou, Judge"
was the cutting rejoinder, ''but it is
something difficult to be merciful to a
man who is not merclful to himself.'
After A. J. Shores had finished his
argument the counsel for the defense
arose and answered, and the remainder
of the afternoon was taken up with
Judge Shaw's argument. The court adj
journed until to-day at 10 a, m.

unanimously concurred in, and thus
amended the bill of lading was adopted
by all the lines to take effect Sept. l.
The representatives of the Chicago &
Grand Trunk and the WABASH &C
cepted it in its new form, as did
all the lake lines. No action was
taken in regard to the other objections
that have been urged against the bill of
lading. but the permanent committee
on uniform bill of lading was instructed
to take them up at the first possible
day. This practically settles the fight
for the uniform bill of lading. The
amendment makes negotiable paper,
and bankers will no longer refuse to
advance money OH it. OF course the
shippers will continue to urge a modi-
fication of the provisions of the con-
tract, and especially that relating to
liability for damage to property during
transportation, but they have gained
much even if no other concessions are
made.

SHIPPERS GAIN A VICTORY.
The Bill OF Lading Amended to
Suit Them


CHICAGO, Aug. IA Shippers through
sout the United States have gained
a great victory over the railroads in
securing uniform bill of lading. The
concession made by the carriers consists
in striking out the words mot negoti-
able" against which the chief COM
plant was made. At the meeting of
the joint committee of the Trunk Line
and Central Tariff associations and the
representatives of the alexandria,
lines, which was held in this city to-day,
the subject was very fully discussed in
the light of the objections passed by
the commercial organizations of the
country. Some of the roads
threatened to discontinue the use
of the new bill of ladiDg unless it was
adopted by all lines, as the shippers
were now discriminating in favor of the
Chicago Il Grand Trunk, the Wabash,
and the four lake lines that had refused
to adopt it in its present form. Chair
man Blanchard, of the Central Traffic
association, strongly recommended that
the words mot negotiable" printed
across the face of the document, be
stricken out. The recommendation was

Their bail was fixed at SIS each and
they will be tried next Tuesday. James

intent to all, he having drawn re-
volver and knife OF two on Kirkham.
His bail was fixed at $500 and he will
have hearing Tuesday.

THE RECOUNT.
1t Will Be Practically Finished
This Week.


The recount is progressing very
smoothly, and will be practically COM
pleted with the week. Such are the in
dications from the reports of the census
enumerators made last evening in ac-
cordance with Supervisor Kruse's in
structions. On the point as to whether
absentees from the city are to be counted
Mr.. Kruse said yesterday:
1.-The fact is simply this: We propose
to count every person in the city of
Minneapolis who on Aug. II was legal
resident of the city. If they are out of
the city it makes no difference; if they
have been absent from the city three
months, or three years. for that matter,
it will make no difference; the only
thing we want to know is this: Is Min
neapolis their legal residence? If SO,
they will be counted"

A Low Cost Laundry.

Nothing is more troublesome in connection
with housekeeping than the laundry prob
lem. In q large house where plenty of money
is provided an immunity from its cares may
be purchased, but in the low cost houses in
which the large number of people live, its
cares and annoyances are always present
The complication of doing the washing in a
kitchen where other work is being done is
disagreeable beyond description. Hence the
graphic expression ''blue Monday" A laun-
dry may very readily be arranged in the
basement at very low cost. All that is
needed is a slop sink connected with an out
side vault, u flue for o cheap laundry stove
and light from the outside. This is not as
satisfactory as set tubs, but where a pump is
provided next to n cast iron sink there is wa
ter at hand which may be heated on the
stove and a place to pour water from the
tubs when it has been used. 1t runs through
trapped drain to a vault OF sewer as the
case may be. If the cellar is large enough,
most Of the drying of the clothes may be
done therein. For the most part cellar is q
| cool place in summer and warm one III
winter Where the foundation work does
not extend sufficient distance above ground
to give good light, small areas may be pro
yided
