A CAUSE CELEBRE.
The Dillon Damage Suit Against
the City for a Nuisance.

The trial of the struck jury case of
James Dillon against the city of st. Paul
was begun yesterday afternoon before
Judge Kelly. The plaintiff. who is one
of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of,
ST. Paul, brings suit against the city for
maintaining a public nuisance, and lays;
his damages at the magnificent sum of
SS2, 750. Dillon is the owner of lots H.;
~, Is and IA, block 81, and lots l and 2,
block so; also 50X150 feet on Commercials
street, and tract fronting 400 feet on
Essex street, known as the Sanborn mill
property, all the several parcels being.
in Lyman Dayton's addition. The COM,
plant alleges that from time immemo-s
rial stream of water, called Phalen' s.
creek, has flowed past the west side of
the lands and property, the same being
OF pure water. In 1882 the defendant,
caused to be constructed certain sew
erS, the contents of which flowed into
the main OF Trout brook sewer, which
in turn emptied into Phalen's creek,
draining the district included between
Pine street and the Manitoba railway.
A large quantity of filth and offensive
material, it is claimed. was deposited
in the creek. befouling and p0lluting
the stream, creating offensive and un-
healthy smells and disease germs over
and around plaintiff S property. On ac-
count of this nuisance, it is further
alleged that the rental value of SIX
houses of plaintiff deprecated from
$500 per year to $500 per year, and the
Sanford property, which once brought
in rental of $50 per month, could not
now be rented at all. Plaintiff claims
that he has repeatedly called the atten-
ton of the city authorities and the
health department to the condition of
the creek in question, but that nothing
has been done towards abating the
nuisance.
Judge Mcdonald is conducting the
case for the plaintiff, and O. E. Holman
is looking after the city's interests.

Enthusiastically in Line for the
Democratic Ticket.


The German Democrats of the Eighth
ward held all enthusiastic rally at
Brands hall last evening. Michael
Lux was elected chairman, L.. A. Nor
mandin secretary, and the speech-mak-
ing was commenced by j. L. Kerker.

on the issues involved in the present
campaign. He advised all to vote the
straight Democratic ticket. George

called the ''Grand Old Man" of the
Ramsey county Democracy, next de-
livered characteristic speech detailing
the reasons why the German should he

advocated the election of every one of

cheered Adoiph Stern, of the Volks-
Zeitung, paid tribute to the late Edmund
Smith. Tom Martin was the next
speaker, and in most eloquent manner

shamS which characterize the Republi-
can party. Toms eloquent effort was re-
ceiVed with enthusiasm, and was fol-
lowed by Herman Bielenberg, the
Eighth wards next alderman, who adj
vised every voter to vote the straight
Democratic ticket by placing cross to
the right of the name of Hon. Robert A.
Smith. This speech was in German. as
was that of John Boyer, who urged the
voters of the Eighth ward to stand firm

locality as Minnesota street used to be some
years ago. Shortly after noon yesterday
there was lively fight i'll one of the gam
bling rooms ON Fifth street. in which white

made slash or two at Burns. The latter

caught him on the shoulder, cutting long
cash. The others ihterfered, and Burns
was taken to physician who stitched his
wounds. There were no arrests.

Under the new law there is great
danger of losing your vote, unless you
carefully observe these rules:
!
Every candidate for every Office will
be printed upon one ballot, and your
choice must be indicated by placing an
K after the name.
Mark an K after the name of Robert
A. Smith. Make no other mark what
ever on the ticket. and your vote is sure
to be counted for every Democratic
candidate, and there can be no danger
of losing your vote.
4! !!
If you mark an K after the name of
more than one candidate your ballot
will only be counted for the persons
whose names are marked with the x,
and all the other candidates whose
names are not marked will lose your
vote. Therefore, if you split your bal
lot at all, be sure and mark an X after
the name of each candidate you wish to
vote for.
Mark an K after the names of only
TWO candidates for Judges of the mu-
nicipaI court and SIX candidates for
aIdermen-at-large. If you mark more
than this number your ballot will be
thrown out.
F.!

Robert A. Smiths name, and your vote
for the straight Democratic ticket, from
top to bottom, is insured.
If you scratch ticket in any way. or
cross off any name, your entire ballot
will be lost.
