Cars Will Be Started This Week
on First Avenue.


The much-needed First avenue cleo
trio line will be put in operation the
latter part of the present week, accord
ing to Vice President Goodrich. Yes
terday afternoon the engines and dyna-
mos were given an experimental trial.
If all works well the power house on
Third avenue north will furnish the
power for the Washington avenue and
Fourth avenue lines. which are now
being provided with power by the
Thomson-Houston company. When
started, the trains will be run every
five minutes. Beyond the junction the
three branch lines will be running by
electricity in about three weeks. The
track to Minnehaha will be finished this
week Friday. These to the lakes and
the Washburn home are already down,
wires. Work will be commenced on
the Lyndale avenue line next Monday.
1t will be constructed from the Lake of
the Isles to Washington avenue. and the
street railway company is counting upon
operating it this year. Work is now
being pushed on the Eighth avenue,
Sixth street and Monroe line, the tracks
and pole for it having been laid
already from Sixth street and Seventh
avenue south as far as Twentieth street.
This will also be completed and operated
as far as Washington avenue the pres
ent year, if all goes well. On the
Twentieth. avenue extension Of the
Washington avenue line center poles
have been set out as far as James ave-
nue.. Beyond that the city is doing
some grading, and when this is COM
pleted this electric branch will be put in
operation. By this it will be seen that
four lines will be carrying passengers
before the first of January. At the
power house three dynamos are set up,
and fourth will soon be added. 1t is
intended to have twelve. in position
when all the lines are running.

WINDING UP IT'S AFFAIRS.
A Petition for the Dissolution of
the Monitor PlOw Works.

What will be the future of the MOn-
itor Plow works is somewhat of ques-
ton at present. There is no question
now, however, that the old business of
the company is being closed up as rap
idly as possible. The first feature of
the exit of the old corporation was made
known yesterday afternoon when Judge
Seagrave Smith signed an order 10 show
cause in a petition for the dissolution of
the Monitor Plow works and the ap-
pointment of receiver for the com
pany. The order is that all parties
interested shall appear next Saturday,
special term day at the district court,
and show cause why the corporation
sholl not be dissolved and its affairs
closed. 1t Will be remembered that the
building and large part of the
stock of the Monitor PlOw works
were destroyed by disastrous
fire last summer, and since
that time it has been question as to
whether the company could rebuild and
set up In business again. Several meet
ings of the stockholders failed to de-
velop anything towards that end. 1t is
learned upon good authority that not
one of the stockholders of the present
company will resist the petition which
comes up next Saturday. The petition
ers are the Second National Bank, of
Utica, N. Y; Mary G. Thomas. Ellen A.
Robertson, F. Jacobs Frederick, Will
lam Layman. W. b. and G. F. Jackson,
Annie NJ. Hurlbut, Anson B. Jackson
and Harriet jackson, on behalf of them
selves and other stockholders.
The Monitor PlOw works has been in
existence some fifteen years. The pc
tition states that for the past four years
the corporation has been largely in
debted in the sum of $130,000. The
whole assets, the petitioners claim,
would little more than pay Off this debt.

LOCAL POLITICAL BUBBLES.

Aid. Bradish is beginning to realize
that his course in holding on to his seat
in the council while running for the
legislature is creating opposition. But
he refuses to surrender. 1.-The point is
just here" said he yesterday. II repre-
sent the four New Boston precincts of
the ward, while Aids. Rhode and VOgt
represent the lower end. The assessed
valuation of these four precincts is one
half of that of the whole ward. Now,
have said to my New Boston constitu-
ents from the start that if they wanted
TO put another man in my place all they
had to do was to say the word and |
would gladly step out. But on the con-
trary they have with considerably una
nimity asked me tohold ON. Now. there
are some kickers in the 10 Ner end of the
ward-not over twenty-five Republicans
among 'em-whO want me TO resign. L
notice that Aid. Vogt, who failed of re-
nomination, is egging them on. But
so long as my New Boston constituents
want me to stay l propose to do so, leg
iSlature or no legislature. When they
want me to quit IN do so with pleas
ure."
But Mr.. Bradish. with all of his honest
statements, will not convince the public
that he is opposed by twenty-five men.
Ten times that number of influential
Republicans would be nearer the mark.

monia hall tomorrow night G. j. Buell.

ADJUSTMENTS.

As was predicted, there was standing
room only at the Pence opera house last
evening at the first presentation of the
programme of the City Club Burlesque
company. The show is the best vaude-
vile attraction that has visited Mime
apolis for many a day, the new features
taking immensely. The studies in
black were everything that had been
predicted, the ladies being pretty and
the costumes positively gorgeous. Lowry
and Evans and Bryant and Wells do a
finished turn each that makes them
rank at the head of their style of special
ties. Miss Jennie Miaco fairly took the
audience by storm in her special song
and dance. "Nuptial Bells" Wilson
and Davenport and the Everetts also
took well. Seton, the wonderful spider
dancer, is marvel and we'll worth
seeing.
The burlesque "The o Home-in-
Stead' is a screaming piece of comedy
beautifully staged and the costumes
elegant. The company will be sure to
pack the houses for the four remaining
nights. and the Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday matinees. Those wishing
good seats had best be sure and secure
them in advance

MINISTERIAL MEETINGS.
Local Divines Again Begin the
Weekly Discussion.


The Baptist ministers held their regu-
lar Monday meeting yesterday at the
First church, the presiding officer being
Rev. DIR. Wayland Hoyt. There was a
large attendance, but as it was their
first meeting there was no subject ready
to be introduced. The reverend gentle
men therefore drifted into conversation
as to the books they had read during
the summer vacation and passed the
time away in social converse. At the
meeting next Monday they will organ
iZe and elect officers for the ensuing
year.
The Presbyterian divines metat West
minister church and discussed paper
read by DR.. Patterson ON "Church Work
and Prospects on the Pacific Slope"
Another subject discussed was the pro-
posed division of the st. Paul presby
terry, which will come up at the preSby-
terry meeting next week, and be decided
at the synod at Fergus Falls on Thurs
day of next week. This proposition to
divide the st. Paul presbytery into two
and give Minneapolis one of her own is
not by any means the result OF the re-
cent census troubles, but has been be-
fore the presbytery for over year.
This is announced to prevent any un-
favorable comment on the subject. The
presbytery meets Tuesday. next week,
at the Bloomington avenue church to
consider the division and whether Rev.
Patterson shall be permitted to resign
and accept the call he has received from
Tacoma.

COoley's Commission After West
ern Roads Again.


ern Roads Again.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The interstate
commerce commission is after the West
ern roads again, this time for the pur-
pose of regulating lumber rates. Some
time ago the board of trade of Eau
Claire. Wis. sent petition to the COM
mission asking that body to compel the
Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul road to
reduce the rate on lumber from Eau
Claire to Missouri river points. What
the Eau Claire people complain of is
that the rates which they are COM
PEELED to pay on lumber to Council
Bluffs and Kansas City are unrea-
sonably high as compared with those
from other Northwestern points. The
rate from Eau Claire is 81 cents per
100 pounds above the Chicago rate,
while that from Winona and La Crosse
is only one cent, and that from ST. Paul
and Minneapolis only two cents above
the rate from Chicago, Answer was
made by the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul company that lumber rates were
but recently advanced and to now lower
the rate at any one point would result
in general cutting and collapse all
round. Taking as a basis this reply.
the interstate commerce commission
has served notice OD number of the
Western roads interested in the lumber
traffic ordering them to make answer
within twenty days and show cause why
the rates should not be reduced from
Eau Claire.

Alliance Adherents in MinneapO-
lis Hold Their Caucuses.
= The Alliance people collected In the
thirteen wards of the city last night
and elected delegates to the city and
county convention. Their caucuses
were held on different plan
from that followed by the
old parties. Instead of precinct meet
ings but one meeting was held i'll each
ward. Then instead of having the
city convention delegates select the
aldermanic candidates. nominees for
seats in the council were chosen
at the ward meetings. The biggest turn
out was in the Third ward, that meet
ing being attended by nearly $50 men.
In some of the wards not enough voters
came out to organize caucuses.
So far as could be learned
late last night the delegates who were
instructed for Temple. An Alliance
meeting was held before the caucus,
and w. S. Edwards and Rev. G. A.
Cressy chewed up 1,00O feet Of lumber

A Cincinnati Mans Views.

Peter &. Thomson, of Cincinnati. Sec

Electro Matrix campany, leading cit
izen of that city, is in Minneapolis, the
guest of Director Travis, of the Exposi-
tion board. Mr.. Thomson visited the
Exposition yesterday and expressed
great delight at the manifold attractions.
1t was no doubt somewhat of a surprise
to him to find in this far Northwestern
city so much that was of sterling worth
in an industrial exposition. though he
has long been acquainted with Mime
apolis and her wonderful progress. Mr..
Thomson occupies beautiful home in
Cincinnati, but there was one thing in
that home that he had felt the need of,
and that need he found supplied at the
Exposition. He bought one of the most
beautiful of Capt. Hoag's ponies. includ-
ing the natty rig that goes with it.

son Not the same Jennie who was mar
ried last week. could not talk word of

Another New Bridge.

The 500 line is soon to build new
bridge over the river. 1t will be built
at Thirty-fourth avenue north, on the
West side, and is to cost in the neigh
borhood of S125.OOO. The company fig
ures that the cost of hauling cars
through the city as at present will pay
the interest Oh the cost of two bridges.
The new crossing will reach the East
side near FOrty-second avenue, and
crossing at Northtown junction will
make the short cut to the main line of
the 500 at Sandy lake. The entire in
vestment will be about Sl50,000. A
wooden bridge will be built first and an
iron bridge substituted in short time
after, probably about a wear.

He Abused a Horse.

A young man about thirty years of
age, named Patrick Cavanaugh. was up
before the municipal court yesterday
afternoon charged by the humane
society with cruelty to horse. On Aug
"a. it is claimed, he engaged a horse of
W. c. Lawrence, an East side livery
man, and was gone from noon until
9:45 next morning. driving to ST. Paul
by way of Fort Smelling. When he re-
turned he stopped the horse few rods
away from the stable, and ran away,
without settling his bill. A short time
after. it is claimed, the horse died, on
account of hard driving and the severe
beating it had received. The case was
dismissed.

Real Bad Horse Thieves.

Horse thieves with little of Satan in
their makeup are abroad. Sunday,
while the family of A. c. Loring. of
Wayzata, one of his best horses and a
side-bar top buggy were taken and the
barn set on fire, The barn contained
two other horses, COW and other prop
erty. Fortunately, just after the thieves
left, eX- Sheriff P. p. Swensen drove by
and discovered the fire. With the aid
of some of the men at Fred Pillsbury's
cottage the fire was put out without any
material loss. The chief of police OF
SiiakOpee was heard from this morning.
The horse, driven to death, was found
outside of town. No trace was found
of the thieves.

The assessments for street funds in
the various wards were fixed as follows:

There is not little objection to the
present method of paying for improve
ments. When public improvements
are projected the property owners who
are to be benefited are assessed for an
amount sufficient to cover the estimated
cost. This method is bungling and in
accurate, and the taxpayer is frequently
bled for an amount far in excess of
what he should pay. Then comes in
the clumsy, unsatisfactory plan of re-
bates and emoluments. One remedy
suggested is that of establishing per-
manent improvement fund, out of Which
the Improvements could be paid for by
the CITY when made.
