MINNEAPOLIS.
OUR GIFTED MAYOR.
A Correspondent Takes Him to
Task Quite Sharply.

Task Quite Sharply.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Mayor Babb seems to be mixing his
politics and his building and loan affairs,
IL he is correctly quoted in this morn
ing'S Tribune. Ee says he has been
besieged with letters of INQUIRY regard
ing the American Building & Loan as
ISOLATION, and that in answer thereto
he has been mailing marked copies of
the Tribune containing Bank Examiner
Kenyon's report ana editorial comment
on same. Now L would have no fault to
find with this, were it not that the
mayor is the president of rival build
ing and loan association doing a ma
tonal business, and, while claiming to
be in no position to know the facts or
merits OF the case, he must have known
IN the light of recent events that the
American would hardly get fair play at
the hands of the newspaper named.
Would 1t not have been more charita-
Die toward business rival to have suS-
pended Judgment until the state
authorities had taken some ac-
ton in the matter. | would
IKE also to ask the mayor which report
ne mailed to his correSp ndents-the
nrSt report, or the corrected report.
Whlch was buried out of sight among
the market reports of the Tribune the
following day. 1t might not be i'm
pertinent to this issue to ask the MAYOR
whether the men who are advertised as
prominently identified with the asso-
cation he represents are really con-
nected with his company, and whether
they would indorse it unqualifiedly, if
called upon. In plain terms. do III. G.,
oidie, Senator Washburn or Congress
man Snlder own any stock in the Home
savings and Loan association? Finally,
goes the mayor himself personally know
anything about the status of the asso-
citation of which he is the figure head?

The CowardIy Slayer OF John Luy-
ton Released on Bail.

Inc COwardly Slayer of John Luy-
ton Released on Bail.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-James Sheets,
charged with murder in the first de-
gree for the killing of John Luyton, was
released on bail late this evening. A
preliminary examination was offer
ed to the prisoner this after
noon before justice of peace,
but his attorney waived examination,
merely entering formal plea of not
guilty for his client. Sheets and his at
torney then appeared before Judge Gray
IN the county court and procured a writ
of habeas corpus, claiming that mas
much as the killing was done in self
defense it was ballable crime. No
testimony was taken on the question
of self-defenSe, and although the
prosecuting attorney contested the
issuance of the writ, the
Judge granted the motion and fixed the
bail at the ridiculously low figure of
$500. Signatures to the bond were
easily procured among Sheets friends,
and the prisoner was released. The
crime itself, involving as it does the
ruin of LuytOn's wife by Sheets and the
murder of LuytOn, caused great in
dignation among the people here, and
the action of the court in treating the
matter so lightly has increased the bit
ter feeling,

MILWAUKEE MILLS COMBINE.
A Deal Which EffectuaIly Shuts
Ont EnCIish SyndicateS

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Jan. 9.-At a
meeting held this afternoon tn e
seven great flour mills formed COM
bination involving 100000 capital
and an annual output of nearly
q million and half barrels of flour.
This move will effectually shut out the
English syndicates which have been
dickering for the mills for several
months. At the meeting to-day there
were present the head men of the
Phoenix, Duluth, Daisy, Eagle, Gem, Re-
lance and Jupiter mills-all the flour
mills in Milwaukee. The move is
made to meet the threatened competi-
ton of English capitalists who have Sc
cured the Minneapolis mills. The
theory of the Englishmen is that one
gigantic concern can freeze out and
crush a number of smaller con-
Germs which are not united. Not
wishing to sell, the Milwaukee
mlllers have decided to combine to-
gether on the English basis. The mill
erS simply go into the new company,
take stock in proportion to the capacity
OF business of their mills, elect
officers and operate as one in
corporated concern. Milwaukee stands
third III the country as a -four produc-
ing city, Minneapolis being first and st.
Louis second. The output of the Mil
Waukee mills for the year 1889 was
1,265, S33 barrels.

Foreclosure.


CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 9.-The Valley
railroad was sold to-day to the Balti-
more & Ohio Railway company. Vice
President Thomas N. King, of the Bal
timore & Ohio, arrived here last night.
This morning meeting of the stock
holders of the Valley road was held and
the fact became public that the
Baltimore K Ohio people owned a con-
trolling majority of the stock. Mr..
King was elected president, the only
Cleveland men remaining on the board
of directors being S. T. Everett and I.
IL. Wade. The Baltimore q Ohio also
purchased the Wade docks, now used
by the Valley road. and propose to erect
the latest improved machinery for load
ing and unloading coal and ore. and.
1t Is claimed, build several large
grain elevators. About $500. 600 will be
spent in terminal Improvements within
year. The acquisition is valuable
one to the Baltimore & Ohio, as it gives
them direct connection between Cleye-
land and Pittsburg. The dock facilities
OF the road here are of the best, and the
Baltimore & Ohio control the belt line
at Pittsburg, which touches every large
IRON Wol king establishment in the CITY.
The Baltimore & Ohio people take pos

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
Jake Lifts

Jake Lifts Manager Jake Lift,
the latest outsider to
Great Luck. enter the lists as a
Chicago theatrical mag
nate. is one of the youngest managers
in the country, but he has already cut
his eye teeth i'll things theatrical. saws
the Chicago Herald. He is considerably
under thirty, and literally ''hustler."
Seven or eight years ago he was treas
urer of the Grand opera house in Mil
Waukee, then under the management of
X. L.. Marsh, formerly of the old Dear
born theater here, before the fire. and
more recently connected with the
Standard theater, on Halsted street.
Jake, as every one calls him, soon
wearied of playing second fiddle, and
improved an opportunity offered to
ring IN summer opera company at
Schlitz'S park, the favorite beer-sipping
resort of the orthodox Milwaukeean.
He came out ahead in the venture.
Then he made himself full-fiedged
manager by leasing Milwaukee dime
museum that had broken everybody
else, and he pulled out $1,000 on the
first season. A freak shop was not rich
enough for his blood, however, and the
next time he baited his hook he drew
place had always been what is known
in theatrical parlance as "a JONAH"
but Lift made small fortune out of
it. When he saw. however, that it's
prosperity was waning, he took
time 10y the forelock and built himself
a popular price house, which is coming
money twice as fast as ali the other
Milwaukee theaters combined. He has
a house in Minneapolis which has
proved big winner under his manage
ment; new theater is being built for
hiEl i'll st. Paul; and west of these two
cities he practically controls the amuse-
ment situation His new lease of the
Standard theater. in this city, would be
a foolhardY venture for almost any
other man, but the chances are that
with his popularity among theatrical
people, large capital and proverbIaI
good luck he will make bonanza out
of it.

insincere year ago, when with others
