REASON PREVAILS
And The Plumbers Strike Will
Be Soon Adjusted.

And the Plumbers Strike Will
Be Soon Adjusted.
The strike among the plumbers is
still on.
A meeting of the journeymen plumb
ers was held in the Labor Temple last
evening. A communication was re-
ceived from the master plumbers asso-
citation. stating that they would be
pleased to meet committee from the
journeymen's brotherhood to talk over
matters. So far the best of feeling pre-
walls between the two organizations, and
when the master plumbets stated in their
communication that they were willing
to compromise the contract so that it
would only be operative for one year
instead of two years. The executive
board was directed to confer with their
committee and a meeting will be held
this morning at which there is proba
bility of an adjustment of the difficult
ties. Apparently both sides are honest
in their endeavors to settle the strike,
and as the demands which have
been made by the journymen are just,
many of the employers are willing to
concede. An evening paper stated that
j. o. Sawkins had filled the places
vacated by his men. At the meeting
last night it was stated that Mr.. Saw
kins had conceded to all the demands
made by the brotherhood and hist men
had returned to work. AS there is con-
siderable work on hand in all of the
shops the employers are now more
anxious to get to work than the journy-
men, who have thoroughly organized
and who are prepared for long strike
if necessary. 1t was also stated that
while the journymen now only ask that
the time be reduced to nine hours for a
days work, with eight hours for Satur-
day, further dema nds will be made un-
less the men return to work very
shortly.

CALLED HER SATAN"
Mrs. Augusta Fischer Wants a
Divorce From Her John.

Augusta Fischer is forty -one years old
and John Fischer is fifty-seyen. They
were married in 1884, but have not lived
very happily. Part of their domestic
troubles, it seems, is due to the fact that
John was married before and has sons
who do not treat their stepmOther as
they should. Yesterday Mrs. Fischer

she alleges various kinds OF cruel and
inhuman treatment received by her
from John. She says that he has often
threatened her and struck her in the
face. and pounded her, and pushed
her, and pinched her, and
turned her out of doors, threat
5ening her with personal violence
should she remain. The complaint re-
cites that on one occasion, when both
she and her husband were sick In bed,

and other names of a vile character.
She also says that, in the presence OF

The Log Drive.

Reports from the drive are not so
hopeful as they were last week, says
the Lumberman. All the ice is out of
the lakes, and its disappearance has
made scarcely perceptible impression
upon the streams. Heavy rains will be
needed to bring out all the logs. In the
Big and Little Willow rivers there is
plenty of water at present, and the
Stage is good in the Mud. Rice and Tam
arack rivers The drives are moving in
all of these streams, and the Rice river
drives of Bovey & De Lalttre and Knox
81 De Laittre have passed Aitkin. The
Mud river drive will be in the main
stream in week. The Little Willow
drives of Knox IL De Laittre and Clough
Bros. will also be out about that time.
The 100000 feet Oh the Big Willow
will be later. and are not by any means
safe. Reports from further north are to
the effect that the water is falling rap
idly. and that if heavy rams do not fall
soon good many logs will be hung up.
On the main river the drives are NOV
ing slowly, and the river is now lower
than it has been for years at this sea-
son. The water is unusually low in the
reservoirs at Itaska andWinnebagoshish
The front drive will probably not be
, here so early as the 10th, which has
s been hoped to be the date of its arrival.

NORRIS RETURNS,
And Is Ready to Meet Any
Charges Made Against Him.

F. P. Norris. through whose efforts
largely W. III. Adamson, the money
lender, was convicted of forgery. for
which he is now serving term in Still
water, and whose absence from Mime
apolis few weeks ago gave rise to all
sorts of sensational stories, has re-
turned, and is now at his home at Thirty
fifth street and Garfield avenue. Norris
is not in the best of humOr over the
stories which have been told about him.
He declares that the stories all origin

who hoped by bringing Norris into dis
repute to influence the courts, and to
secure new trial. Some OF the &C
counts circulated charged Norris with

be arrested. Yesterday Norris called
upon Sheriff Eye and told him that if
he was wanted to answer any
charge he could easily be found,
and that if any action was COM
menced against him he was ready to
defend himself. C. j. SaWbridge, who
holds one of the mortgages upon which
Norris borrowed money before he went
away, said yesterday that he did not
feel at all alarmed about the genuine
ness of the paper, whic Ii it has been al

TRADES AND LABOR.
A Move to Unite for Eight Hours
More Strongly.


At the meeting of the trades and labor
assembly held last evening in Labor
Temple, President John p. McGaughey
and Secretary w. L. Leonard resigned
their offices. This action was necessi-
tated by both the above-named gentle
men having business out of the city,
which prevented them giving their
offices the attention they demanded.
The committee which was appointed
some time ago to confer with the single
tax league and the Nationalist club in
regard to street lighting was granted
further time. as there were several
points they still wished to investigate.
The different building trades reported
work plentiful at fair wages. Among
the cigarmakers the union men are gen
orally at work. but the strikes i'll the
Chanier and Lauer shops are still on.
A proposition to form state eight-hOur
league met with unanimous approval.
The league is to he composed OF
delegates from the Farmers alliance
the Knights of Labor and the different
trades unions. The delegates to the
assembly will present the matter to
their organizations at their next meet
ing, and it is expected that the league
will be organized Sunday, May Is. At
the next meeting of the assembly a
president and secretary will be elected.

For River Improvement.

Col. Platt B. Walker, who is mem
Der of the Minnesota river commission,
is authority for the statement that there
has been lying at the treasury in Wash
ington the sum of $4,000, which was
appropriated for river improvements be-
tween Minneapolis and ST. Paul. Mr..
Walker is certain Of what he states, for
he says he was there at the time the
bill was passed, and spent considerable
time working for it. He is also certain
that not cent of the appropriation has
as vet been used. He claims to have
made an effort to interest the board OF
trade in the matter, but that august
combination did not think it matter
fit for discussion, preferring to busy it
self in the matter of the duty on flax.
Mr.. Walker is somewhat wrothy over
the matter, and says: Maj. Alien es..
Inmates the cost of clearing the channel

Gavin, the liyeryman, to recover 5000

and the case adjourned until Monday.
Gavin's complaint alleges that in Sep
TENDER, 1889, while driving on Fifth
street south, his horse became so
frightened at motor that he
started upon tour of investigation into
the panorama building. The result was
that Gavin sustained broken ankle
from which he has not yet recovered.
He was around the court house yester-
dav on crutches. 1t is claimed that not
sufficient warning was given by the
motor engineer to enable Gavin to get

USURY IS ALLEGED.
Mary A. and Cyrns IL. Brown Sue
III. j. WILDER and Others.

Mary A. Brown and Cyrus L. Brown
have begun suit against ii. j. WILDER,
Mary WILDER and Sheriff Eye to have
several notes cancelled and delivered,
to have mortgage satisfied OF record,
to nave trust deed satisfied, to restrain
the defendants from selling certain
land pending trial of this action, to have
the defendants perpetually restrained
from foreclosing mortgage, and to re-
cover from FL. j. WILDER So, 107.75.
1t is alleged that in 1887 the Browns
made an agreement with WILDER by viz
tue of which he was to lend them money
at the usurious rate of interest of $3.50 III
addition to the legal rate of 8 per cent
per annum, on $500 for three years.
The Browns gave note to Wilber pay
able to the order of one Allie j. Davis.
A mortgage on their land was given to
Davis to secure the note. 1t is alleged
that WILDER paid the Browns only 81, 100
as consideration for the note and mort
gage, and he retaining the $3.50 as usuri-
GUS interest. Later. Davis is said to
have assigned the note and mortgage
to WILDER.
The plaintiffs claim that in June. 1889,
they paid WILDER the interest on the
note up to date and $l,550 of the prin-
cipal. Now WILDER is alleged to have
assigned the note and mortgage to Mary
WILDER for the purpose of evading pay
ment of taxes upon them. 1t is claimed
that the interest on note and mortgage
is paid up to May 5, 1890; that the prln-
cipal is not due until Oct. 5, 1890, but
that the holder of the note and mort
gage has advertised the premises fol
sale under foreclosure proceedings.
&c f1rtbor l1nOod that the RrOWnS
made still another loan of WILDER at a
usurious rate of interest. giving trust
deed as security; that they nave paid
the notes given for the loan, and that

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

Some of Them Will Be Frozen
Out Under the Law.
The new arrangement, relative to the
licensing of employment agencies, has
gone into effect, and it is probable that
many of the smaller agents will be
frozen out. The law compels agents to
paw a license OF 500, and to give
$4,000 bond for good behavior. The
city council, by an oversight, fixed the
license at $3.50 and the amount of the
bond at $4,000. but that was declared
unconstitutional by Judge MahOney.
MANY of the lesser agents will now have
to discontinue business, as they will find
difficulty in securing sureties on a
$40. 900 bond. There is talk of carrying
the constitut'onality of the law to the
