An Special Meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce.

UCI vi
There were few subjects of an inter
esting character before the chamber of
commerce yesterday. Some CORE.
spondence relative to the Mississippi
river which has passed between j. W.
Imeson and Senator Davis was placed
before the members. Mr.. Imeson urges
the Importance of improving the Mis-
sissippi, and declares that the river in
the immediate vicinity OF st. Paul is not
as navlgable as in 1875. owing to the
vast amount of debris thrown
in the river bed by the Twin Cities.
Senator Davis. in his reply, says: Il
am convinced that we are OH the eve OF
more liberal appropriations for such
great purposes as the improvement OF
the Mississippi than we have ever been
before. | think all commercial bodies
along the river should act more vigor-
ously by resolution and otherwise in
that behalf, and shall be very glad to
hear from you or any of those bodies
upon the subject The correspondence
was referred to the committee on Mis-
sissippi river. The Omaha board of
trade wrote urging similar bodies to
pass resolutions insisting on holding
the worlds fair in 1892. Russell X.
Dorr thought congress and Chicago
should be able to handle this matter,
and, Oh his motion, the letter was
tabled. A resolution of the mer-
camille committee favoring a post
al telegraph was adopted. George
w. Slower secretary of the
Chicago board of trade, wrote informing
the chamber that delegation from that
body was going to Washington to oppose
tho naccaua Of tba RnttarwOrth hill
This bill is alleged to be inimical to the
commercial interests of the country.
The chamber was asked to take action,
and accordingly the mercantile COM
mittee was ordered to consider the
proposition. The annual report Of the

CrOssfire Growing Out of the Sec

An important suit was begun yester-
day in the district court that involves
considerable property, and will attract
interest because it involves the names
of William Barteau and Mary Barteau,
who was formerly Mary Bailey, against
whom the district court recently de-
creed an accounting in favor of the
former wife of William Barteau.
The action is brangbt by George
B. Crummey against Joseph Jung
mann, William Barteau, Mary

Lucinda Graham, Benjamin Il. Brose
and Robert N. Grady. 1t is alleged that
Mary Bailey owned 133 acres of land,
which was divided up into blocks and
lots comprising Clifton addition. A
mortgage was given by Mary Bailey
to Joseph Jungmann upon the land
to secure the payment of s2S,0Oo
There was a provision in the mortgage
for release thereof upon such parts
as might be sold from time to time; 1871
acres of the land was plated into blocks
and town lots, and sales made by Mary
Barteau and William Barteau, her hus-
band. The Barteaus sold several par
GELS of land and lots to various persons.
and among them lots to 30, inclusive,
in block Is, of Clifton addition. 1t is
claimed that the lots so sold have not
been released from the lien of the mort
gage to Jungmann, and that he is now
proceeding to foreclose the mortgage to
recover the sum of S23, 934.23. 1t is
claimed that Jungmann has refused to
accept pro rata share of the mortgage
debt from Crummey. 1t is also claimed
that the property aside from that owned
by Crummey is worth $4,000, and that
the Barteaus alone have property worth
$4,000. 1t is alleged that Jungmann re-
fuses to sell the Barteau property first,
but is proceeding to sell all the property
to satisfy his claim. The court is asked
to compel the sale of the Barteau inter-
est first, and if that does not pay the
debt. that the other lots may be sold in
the inverse order of their sale.

EVANGELICAL UNION.

Discussed by the Mini sters-PrO.
posed Conference With Minne-
apOlis.
A meeting of the leading ministers of
the Twin Cities was held yesterday at
the Y. M. G. A. parlors in this city for
the purpose of arranging for a confeder-
alton of Evangelical churches. The
subject has been discussed for some time
past and resulted at recent meeting in
the appointment of committee
to consider the matter and CORE
spond with the Minneapolis divines
as to their views Oh the proposition.
The committee was composed of Revs.
r. E. Hawley. ID. A. Turner and j. Fl.
Chandler. Yesterdays meeting was in
response TO a call by the st. Paul assO-
citation, and great interest was displayed
in the business OH hand by all present.
ID. A. Turner, of the Grace Nj. E.
church, made report explanatory of
the movement. 1t meant, he
said, confederation OF the
evangelical churches for new church
Work-a UNCONVENTIONAL cooperation
carried on through a joint conference.
The conference would do its work in
the influence which it would bring to
bear upon committees, general mission
airy committees. presiding elders. bisl-
OPS and superintendent to cooperate
in all church work. The doctor re-
ported that the committee was
thoroughly in harmony with such a
movement. The Minneapolis ministers
had been written to, but no word had
yet been received further than that
they were to discuss the same subject
to-day.
A general discussion ensued, Presby
terians, Methodists ard Baptists taking
a lively part in it. DR.. Maclaren, of the
Central Presbyterian church, heartily
Endorsed the scheme. Such a union
would not destroy denominatiOnal work.
which he greatly believed in, for the
right to different creedS and to Secede
from churches was a safeguard against
the devil getting possession of the de-
nominations.
Rev. j. b. Freeman spoke in OppOsl-
tion to the plan, and didn't believe in
this talk about too many churches OF
lack of funds. He had no desire to
make Presbyterian of a Baptist.
DR.. McLaren thought the confedera-
ton would be great thing for small
towns where there were several churches
and not money enough to support one.
DR.. Mckinley said that the work was
not hostile to any denomination. The
weakness of the Evangelical church
was lack of unity, and tins was seen by
the people. The great power of the
church of Rome was in its unity, and
that the. people knew it was united.
When the motion was finally put the
result was universally i'll favor of con
federation as proposed. The committee
reporting was instructed to arrange for
a meeting to be held shortly III the Mid
way district.
