case of Russell E. Munger against Peter
G. Mansen, and Henry l.. W Williams. as
signee of Benjamin b. Standenmyer, i'll
which it is decided that Williams is en-
titled to the possession of the piano in

was delivered, but Munger was agreed
to have the title and right to possession.
Standenmyer afterwards became insol-
vent. and made a general assignment to
Williams for the benefit of his creditors.
The agreement to sell and make pay
ment of stated sums upon the piano was
not filed in the city clerks Office until
the afternoon Of the day of the assign
ment. and is therefore held to be void
under the statute as to purchasers and
creditors without notice of the agree
ment before it was filed in the clerks
office

Mayor Smith, Aid. ConIey, and Com

present at the meeting yesterday after
noon. The communication of p. q.

three-lnch iron pipe from the manhole

The contract for putting storm doors
on the building was awarded to Van

The Daily News was declared to be
the official organ of the committee, and
the proceedings Of the joint committee
were directed to be published in that
paper at the price formerly paid the

L he engineer in charge of the heating
apparatus of the building thought it I'M
necessary to insure the boilers, as they
are Inspected cache year, and the
amount Of steam carried is light.
Mayor Smith thought it advisable to
have them insured. Action in the mat

engineer said it is not advisable to take
the Lee smoke consumer upon trial, as
there are now five smoke consumers in
use at the building, and 1t would re-
quiie an addition equivalent to twelve
horse power to run the fans of the Lee
consumer.

The question of the validity of titles
has been in doubt for long time, has
at last been settled by decision of the
attorney general of the United States,
which was handed down in Washington
last week. While the decision is given
In the dispute of a certain section of
land, it really affects hundreds of thou
sands of acres, and it is due to the en-
ergy OF Assistant Attorney General
Childs that the state has been saved the
expense of long litigation. The facts
submitted to the attorney general of the
United States were as follows:
A certain quarter section of land was
returned as swamp land by the govern
ment surveyors, and was selected as
such by railroad company. The land
was patented by the government to the
state of Minnesota. which in turn pat
ented it to the railroad company max
ing the selection. The company con-
veyed the land by deed to private
party before the patent had been issued
TO the state. A man named Roy made
an application to file upon the land,
urging as a reason that it was not
swamp land. Application was made to
the secretary of the interior to cause
the necessary proceedings to be insti-
tuted to yacate the patent to the state of
Minnesota by the government.
The state applied to ne heard in the
matter, and Assistant Attorney General
Childs, who had looked very carefully
into the matter, went to Washington in
June, 1889, and argued the question on
behalf of the state before the secretary
of the interior and the assistant attor-
ney general of the United States. The
chief point urged on behalf OF the state
of Minnesota was that the government
could not sue the state.
Fine secretary of the interior referred
the matter to the assistant attorney gcll-
eral of the United States, and he last
week handed down an opinion in which
he advised the secretary that the gov
ernment could moi maintain an action
OF that nature against sovereign state.

LOCAL LABOR CONGRESS.
The Trades Assembly Discusses
MANY Matters of Interest.

Many NAaJESHS Oh INTEREST.
The trade and labor assembly met
last evening with the usual large atten-
dance. The first report Of importance
was that of the committee appointed to
investigate the application of the eight
hour day to the city water works. The
committee consulted an attorney, and
he thought it doubtful if the council
ordinance was binding in the water
works department. They find ten
dency to reduce the hours in that de-
partment, although the eight-bour day
is not enforced. In view of the fact
that most of the water works depart
ment will be discharged as soon AS cold
weather comes, the assembly decided to
defer any further action until spring.
The committee appointed TO call on
dealers handling p. Cox IL Co.'s shoes
reported that very lew of them handle
Cox shoes, as the quality is not so good
as formerly. The New England COM
pany, however, had on hand quite
any way the trades assembly may di-
rect. The Cincinnati company stated
that it HAD ordered $500 worth from p.
Cox & Co. last spring, but counter
manded the order on account of the
trouble the firm was having with its
employees. From the report it would
appear that but few dealers handle the
shoes, and they are not at all anxious to
do so.
A delegate reported that contractor
who is grading Farview avenue is
working his men long hodrs and board
ing them at sort of pluck-me boarding
house. much to the inconvenience of
tile men. The assembly took the view
that such policy is not one that tax
payers or the general public would APP
prove. Delegates Murphy, Ryder and
Kelly were appointed to investigate and
report the facts i'll the case.
Delegates Riley and Coughlin and
President Valesh were elected to repre-
sent the assembly at the meeting of the
State Federation, to be held at st. Paul
Dec. IA. Delegates Johnson, Ryder and
SeitZ were elected delegates to the State
Eight-Hour League, which meets at
Minneapolis Sunday, Dec. Z.
A delegate from the machinery mold
ers gave a detailed account of the
trouble at the Saltwater prison. The
molders decline to work with eonvlcts.
The action of the molders is sustained
by the assembly. and the delegates to
the State Federation will recommend
legislation to meet the needs of the sit
uatiOn.

handsome young woman of about
twenty years, was arrested yesterday at

charge against her is indefinite, and the
actual reason for her arrest was that

theme and assortment, interspersed

was also sprung in the repetition
of the PizZicato polka, which
has become a very popular num-
Der. Two contralto songs, from Hovers

Perkins. who developed rich, full
voice, OF considerable compass and
sweetness in the lower register. A
either solo by Charles SHIRLEY was also
well received. OF the progra mme of
nine numbers, the orchestral choice lay
between Weber's "Oberon" overture
and the mandolin serenade by De-
sormes, which showed perfect imita-
ton of the mandolin. Prof. Brooke's
arrangement of Londler's Sounds From

obligato was heard, was also very en-
ioyable. Taken throughout it was quite
an enjoyable concert, and added laurels
