MUST CLOSE THE DUMP.
The Temporary Injunction "
terdav Made Permanent

The Temporary Injunction Yes
terday Made Permanent. ~
The action of jeremiah Shea versus
the City of Minneapolis came up again
yesterday morning before Judges
Hooker and Young. a temporary In
junction was issued restraining the city
from using the place at the foot of Del
aware street on the east, bank of the
Mississippi for dump ground. City
Attorney Russell made no resistance to
the order. This action was first begun
June 4. D
Jeremiah Shea claimed that the dump
was a great nuisance, that its Odor was
exceedingly unpleasant. and the carts
dropped garbage along the street, and
so it should be done away with. The
court at that time refused to restrain
the city, as the city had used the dump
for long time, and would be in Serions
straits if it had to do without it at that
time. Assistant City Attorney Hall
said that if the complainant would hold
off two or three months remedy
would be had.
A new arrangement has about been
perfected, and the city has decided to
dump into an opening in the sewer to be
made in some available place with a
barn over it, so that teams could be
driven in. and thus avoid any serious
results from the not over fascinating
OdOr.
DR.. Kllvlngton seems to think other
wise about the order having been
granted so soon. He says that at pres
ent we have more typhoid fever in the
city than ever before, and all because
there are so few places provided for
dumping the city's garbage. The doc
tor thinks that this order leaves the city
in the SOuD.

MILE IN ss SECONDS.
"A Trial Trip on the Boynton Bicy
y Gle Railway at COney Island.

A Trial Trip On the BoynCOn Blcy-
=; Gle Railway at Coney Island.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia mile in thir-
Yty-three seconds was the rate at which
a party ofnewSpaper men were whirled
along the Boynton bicycle railway yes
terday from Gravesend to Bader's hotel
at Brighton. Beney Island. Eben
Moody Boynton, the president of the
company which has built the road, was
on hand to explain its operation.
!. A single bicycle passenger car was
used, running up on one side of the old
Brighton Beach track. The car itself
was a doubie-decker car. in each deck
being six double and one single COM
.partment, each compartment being by
itself and entered from the side OF the
car. Each seat accommodates three
pers6us. The car is less in width than
half the standard gauge tracks SO that
two cars can pass each other, when they
are run on opposite rails.
The wheels of the car are directly I'M
der the center, double tiange grasping
the rail. The car IS prevented from
topping over by double wheels attached
to the top of the car and running one
on each side continuous wooden beam
held up by the framework Oh either
side of the track. The engine employed
is bicycle one. The car is run on the
principle of a hoop in motion, which the
faster it goes is the less likely to wab-
BILE and fall over. Mr.. Boynton says
his scheme is practical for elevated
roads, and some engineering papers
have already declared that it is des-
tined to revolutIonize the present sys-
TEN of passenger transportation. Mr..
Bopnton says he can carry 1000 passen-
gers at the rate of ninety miles all hour
continuously, or go passengers at 100
miles an hour.

A New Depot Yarn.

There is wild rumor afloat to the
effect that the Northern Pacific and
Wisconsin Central railroads are about
to erect new depot on the same plan
as that at Broad street, Philadelphia.
1t is argued that the road has for some
time owned the old haymarket
site on First street and that of late it
has been purchasing much property
between that and Hennepin avenue in
quiet way, the deeds being held in
other names. According to the rumor
the old market house will fall into the
general plan and become the depot
proper, to which underground ap-
prOaches would be built. 1t is limited
that the Milwaukee road is in the deal,
but the closest inquiry at headquarters
fails to confirm any Of the stories.
Some years ago it was understood that
the Northern Pacific was to build
depot on its land on First street, but the
union depot project SET that aside and it
was not again talked of. 1t may be
that this is but a revival Of the old
story.

NOT FINISHED YET.
Part of Next Week Necessary for
Counting All the Noses.

Contrary to expectations, based upon
the progress of the work early in the
week, the recount was not finished yes
terday, nor will it be completed by to-
morrow night. There is nothing to pre-
vent the extension of the time for the
recount into next week, although Su-
pervisor Kruse hoped to finish it in one
week. Nearly all of the districts have
been practically finished, but there are
some portions of the business center
which have not yet been covered.
There are numbers of persons
working in stores and offices
around the center of the
city and rooming in business blocks
who have not been approached by the
enumerators, but it is promised that all
these will be taken in before the recount
is declared closed. 1t is possible that
enumerators may be sent over the bust
ness district second time in order that
all may be surely counted. Then there
are the houses which bear contagious
disease pacards. Some seventy or more
of them are in tue city, all of them con-
tanning families, which have not yet
been included in the recount. From
the present outlook it seems probable
that nearly half of next week will be
consumed in the general clearing up Of
the recount. The census Office is not in
position to give out any figures yet,
nor will it be before the end of next
week, if then. All estimates are merely
gueSSeS.

Killed by a Priests Air Gun.

Paris Dispatch London Telegraph.
Considerable excitement reigned in
the town of Rodez last evening. A
priest was walking-to all appearance
quietly enough-down one of the streets,
when suddenly young and cookbook
ing woman who was preceding him
at a distance of about a yard fell
to the ground. The passers-by
rushed up and carried the female to the
hospital hard by. but she had ceased to
live. Meanwhile the priest was crying
and exclaiming that he had killed her.
He had an air gun loaded with ball,
which he had been using as walking
stick, and he said that he had merely
tapped the woman on the shoulder with
it to attract her attention when it went
off. The ball had passed through her
back and through one of her lungs. The
bystanders advised the priest not to go
too near the hospital, as they feared
that the dead woman's husband might
wreak his wrath on him, and, in fact,
there was a very distressing scene when
the poor man arrived and heard the sad
truth. In the mean time the priest was
taken into custody. and to-day he under
went his first examination at the hands
of the JUICE d'lnStruction.

The Twin City Athletic Club and
It's Future Events.

The new gymnasium of the Twin
City Athletic club is thoroughly
equipped. with the exception of the
hand ball court, which is being built
outside, and is to be placed i'll when
completed. Every article has been Sc
lected by those conversant with the
needs of such an institution. and the re-
suit is that one Of the best equipped
places of its kind in the country is now
located in Minneapolis. Business and
professional men have not been slow to
take advantage of that fact, and already
the names of some of the most widely
known Minneapolis citizens are upon
the doors of the clubs lockers, and
their owners have gone right into act
rousing times, as there is nothing
SO congenial as athletic ex-
ercise. especially when in good
company. The running track, situated
in the gallery, will be one of the favor
lite training spots, as it is laid out
twenty-six laps to the mile, and will be
the best track in the West. The bowl
ing alleys are pronounced by experts to
be the finest that have ever been laid in
Minneapolis, and are already in almost
constant use. The cafe is in full running
order, and is we'll patroniZed by the
club, especially at the business lunch.
The next entertainment of the club is
to occur on Aug. 26. and will consist of
two events, the first to be siX-round
match between the Black Pearl and
dusky unknown, and the event of the
evening a match between Jack Camp
bell, lightweight champion of Califor-
mia, and Charley Johnson the light
weight who gave Andy Bowen such a
hard battle. All members are requested
to call at the club and secure their Au-
gust tickets before that date. For Sept.
30 contest has already been arranged
between Harry Gilmore and James Nc
Hale, of Philadelphia, said to be the
cleverest young lightweight at present
in the East. A letter has been received
by Prof. John Donaldson, the clubs
boxing instructor, from Corbett, in
which he states that he is coming East,
and will be guest of the club while in
Minneapolis. He will probably be in
duced to give an exhibition Of his Won
derful science before he leaves to ar
range match with Sullivan. On the
whole. there are host of good things
in the Twin City Athletic club for TIE
numbers.

HARD STONE OR SOFT
The Subject for Discussion by the
Commission.

Commission.
The city hall and court house commits
sion met yesterday morning pursuant to
letter from Judge Atwater, signed by
a number of business men, asking that
some definite action be taken in regard
to the bids for the erection of the stone
work on the court house. The letter
also recommends the following commit
tees: II. w. Pratt, A.. j. w. Sawyer
and G. ii. Pettit, of the chamber of COM
merce; Judge |. Atwater, c. p. Lowell
and H. A TOWne, of the board of trade;
J. C. Eliel, W. s. Byron, F. B.. Heff1e
lingerie. A. Dole, OF the JobberS' union,
and S. e. Cook, S. T. Mcknight, H. G.
Akely, of the Lumber exchange. Judge
Atwater was present at the meeting,
but suggested that as the call had been
made so soon the various committees
selected had not had time to confer, and
he wanted the meeting postponed until
Monday. President Clough said that
the meeting was held because it was
thought that decision should be gwen
in regard to the bids presented, and a
somewhat lengthy discussion followed.
81. G. Eliel, the representative of the
Jobbers' Union. argued for consider
able length of time against the use Of
granite in the construction.
He said that the argument about en-
couraging home industry in the use of
granite was falIacious. He thought that
there was other stone in Minnesota
which could be used at a saving of
about 100000 on the estimated cost of
granite. He did not think much of the
petitions. You can load your tables
with them,' he said. Everybody
knows how easy it is to get names to a
petition, but they don't amount to
much" He wanted a halt called at
once.
A discussion as to various kinds of
Minnesota stone was INDUCED in, and
! then the matter of a tower was taken
up, and it was brought out that by leav-
| ing the tower off there would be a saw
| ing of about 100000. Then = Mr.. Petit
! fell to talking about the durability of
sand stone. He said that the brown
stone fronts which have been so popu-
lar in New York city have already be-
| gun to show the effects of time. He did
not think much Of brown stone, and he
| SAID that the trustees of Westminster
| church have already been compelled to
| go over the church edifice to knock OFT
| some of the decayed stone which hung

OVER A BUGGY.
A Peculiar Suit in the District
Court.

A Peculiar Suit in the District
Court.
There was suit in the district court
yesterday which shows up the actions
OF former real estate dealer in any
thing but favorable light. The pro-
ceedings were in the form of justif-
cation of sureties on replevin bond.
The plaintiff is William Horton and the
defendant is Andrew Thompson. The
property sought to be recovered is a
horse. harness, buggy, robes, etc.
The facts in the case are these: Will
lam Horton was the owner of stock of
groceries on Western avenue, and M.
f. Baker the owner OF a house and lot,
slightly incumbered. The defendant,
Thompson, undertook to negotiate an
exchange of the house and lot for the
stock of groceries, and in so doing acted
as the agent of both parties. Neither,
it seems, knew he was acting for the
other. Baker was willing TO transfer
his house and lot for the stock, but
Thompson, as the go-between. repre-
sented to Horton that Baker would
trade only On condition that he (Horton)
would throw in his horse, buggy, etc.,
and 81, 900 in cash. The trade was con-
summated and Thompson kept the
horse, buggy, ETC., and represented to
Baker that he had made all even trade.
Shortly afterward Thompson skipped,
and is now in Dakota. The property
was recovered.
The famous Pray assignment was
finally settled by Judge Young yester-
day. J. NJ. Robinson, the assignee,
made final statement of the insolvent
company's affairs, and was discharged
from the position by order of the
court.
This assignment is famous as one of
the longest the city has ever known.
The first schedules OF assets and liabili
ties were filed Dec. 81, 1886. and showed
total liabilities of S293, 227.30, and pay
roll due to long list Of employees of
$3,673.29.
The case of George B. Miller VS.. The
Big Boston Clothing company came up
for hearing yesterday upon demurrer
to the complaint. twill be remem
bered that during the last stages of the
Big BOston'S existence in. Minneapolis
they offered amongst other things in the
nature of lottery deal house and lot,
which would be decided to the party
who held the drawing ticket. This
plaintiff drew it,. but some dispute
between Miller and a man by the name
of Wilson, who claimed that he drew
the successful ticket.
Yesterday Judge Young decided the
demurrer in favor of the defendants.
the court holding that the contract was
in the nature of a lottery, and therefore
not enforcible. This decision practi-
caly ends the whole thing, as far as
the Big Boston is concerned. They say
that if a compromise cannot be affected
between Wilson and Miller they are
willing to deed the property to them. "

DID LITTLE BUSINESS.

Park Commissioners Do a Little
Work Before the Ball Game.
Yesterdays meeting of the park board
was but an unimportant one from the
standpoint of public interest. In open
ing the session Vice President Hangar
announced that hereafter, whenever e
is called upon to preside, he will call
the board to order at precisely $50 D.
M, and not wait until $3.50. The July
payroll, amounting to s2,673, was Or
dered paid. Messrs. Butler and Fogg.
who gave land for the construction of
the Minnehaha boulevard just below
Lake Harriet, complained to the board
that the conditions upon which the
deeds were made had not been COM
piled with by the board, and Commits
sioners Mitchell and Cole and Supt.
Berry were delegated to find out what
would satisfy those gentlemen. The
finance committee was ordered to con-
slider bids for the lot on Thirty-fourth
street and Cedar avenue which the
board desires to sell. The board then
adjourned until next Saturday, when
the report of the special committee on
the addition to Central park will be con-
Sidered.

EDITOR TO L1vERYNfAN.
Will q. Haskell Embarks in a New
Business Venture.

W. E. Haskell, the ex-newspaper pro-
prietor and exponent of the graces of
Eastern civilization, always has been
fond of surprising his friends. He has
done it again. From the editorship of
great moral daily, the mightiest engine of
modern times, to the proprietorship of
vulgar, unpoetic livery stable is quite a
jump; but it is one which the gentle
: Willie has taken. He has purchased
the livery stable of B. II. HELEN, out
T On Nicolet avenue and Twenty-eighth
street, and also the stable of Whipple &
Field. on Third street between Nicollet
and First avenue south. The deal
amounts to about $4,000, and includes
all the horses and vehicles in both barns.
Mr.. Haskell starts out in his new ven
ture with the assurance of the West
-ihotel trade and the patronage of War
ner's undertaking establishment He is
expected to monopolize the .'swelp'
business of the city.
