road committee was resolution by
Aid. Phillips, to the effect that the
plans accepted by the council for the
construction of the cable roads be ac-
cepted with reference to the electric
lines, that the electric be built OH the
same plans prepared for the cable roads.
The resolution was accepted unanimous

there has been considerable kicking
about the proximity of the tracks to
the curbing Oh curves, as provided for
by the cable road plans.
BY unanimous consent Aid. Potter
was allowed to move the opening of
Lowell avenue, from Dupont avenue to

it had completed its work, and the valu-
alton lists Of the board were accepted.

The recommendation for the pay
ment of $4,000 to Camp 4 Walker for
land occupied by the opening of Sew

ton for the placing of an automatic fire

granted. A bid for the Irish vote
was made in the authorization
of the light inspector to place
sheet brass street signs on all gas lamps,
the signs to be painted green. The
ordinance to regulate the exclusion of

city attorney. The first reading of the
ordinance allowing grocers, ETC., to dis
play their goods in front of stores went
through unquestioned. Chief Stetson
was authorized to purchase fire en-
CINE and hose carriage for the James
avenue house. Aid. Parry's motion
that the court house commission be re-
quested to build the remainder

Miss Josephine jennings appearance
In the part of Annechen in Der Fret

added considerable interest to the pro-
duction. The house was large one,

was several times encOred, and was the
recipient of several floral tributes.
To-day will be the last of the Hess

When President johnson raped for
order last night in the council chamber
there were fully dozen absentees, but
the late members gradually drifted in,
and, by the time the meeting was in
full swing, all but eight aldermen were
present. Joe Ingenhutt then removed
his coat and the council got down to
work There was an immense amount
of work of the nature of street open
ings, sewer matters, etc.. and all
was rushed through in good shape.
During the evening Aid. Vandewaker
and Adams had a quiet little quar-
rel over a sidewalk down in the woods
near Minnehaha, about which no one
present knew the slightest thing, during
which Adams strongly lntimated that
VandeWaker was liar. Vandewaker
rose upon his toes, waved his strong
right arm and Grated. Woodward moved
to adjourn and the other aldermen
laughed. Vandewaker said it was all a
political scheme to down him. He was
applauded therefor. Adams wanted
provision for building a sidewalk on
Forty-ninth street, from Thirty-eighth
to Minnehaha avenue, stricken out.
After twenty minutes 1t was allowed to
stay in, several aldermen lodging the
issue and declining to vote on such
momentouS question without further
thought
Aid. Hauser arose at the start and
protested against the absence of council
members without assigning any reason.
The aldermen concerning whose alb
Sence he was kicking were at the time
on special committee and out of the
city, so President johnson declared that
hereafter such absences should be noted
in the minutes despite the protest of
the clerk that such action was wholly
without precedent Then began the
rapid reading of communications. Soon
came up a couple of protests against
granting to Simpson q Henderson per-
mission to extend their show
windows into the street dis
lance of eighteen inches. The Piym-

permission had been denied them to eX
tend their windows only twelve inches

There was also received a protest
against the opening of Mary place, from
interested property owners.

before DR.. Gagnon arose, his wife asked
him for IS. He inquired what for, and
she laughingly replied that she wanted
IL to go away with, and he gave her the
money. He went to his office and has
neither set eyes on her nor seen her
since. Mrs. Gagnon frequently came
to Minneapolis to visit her brother. Mr..
Mccarthy, but this time she has not
been near him. There is no other place
in the city where she was known to be
accustomed to visit, at least for so long
"a time as has elapsed since her
disappearance. She has brother
at Maple Lake. out on the 800"

have gone there, although Mr.. McCar-
I thy feels sure that he would have heard
from there had she done so. He has
written to Maple Lake inquirlng if she
has gone there. Mr.. Mccarthy cannot
describe how his sister was dressed other
than that she wore black silk dress
and black and white jacket. She is
only twenty seven years old, and had
been married to DR.. GagnOn two years.
Their life. so far as Mr.. Mccarthy
knew, has always been happy one.

KILVIGz TONS PLANS.

They Are Finally Partially In
dorsed by the Council.
On the subject of the disposition of
waste, the special committee reported
that the most perfect system found was
in Washington, where cesspool sludge
and nightsoil is removed by hand
pumps and barrels. In no place was
anything found much superior to what
now prevails in Minneapolis. AS re-
suit of its researches the special COM
mittee makes several recommendations,
all of them in line with the cOmmunica-
ton sent to the council one month ago
by Health Officer KilvingtOn, but never
read. 1t is recommended that a system
of carrying cesSpool sludge and
nightsoil, removed by the odoriess
excavating tanks, in barrels, be adopted;
that scavengers be compelled to disin-
feet all cesspools and vaults after they
have been cleaned; that dumping sta
ton, at which cesspooI sludge and
night soil can be dumped into the sew
ers, as recommended by Kilvington
one month ago, be erected at some con-
venient point; that an ordinance COM
polling the separation of garbage and
ashes be adopted; that the council take
steps toward the conveyance of garbage
to some point outside the city. there to
be burned; that the health officer pre-
pare circular to householders advo-
eating the burning of garbage. The re-
port was adopted and referred to the
health and hospitals and ordinance COM
mitteeS, so that the ordinances may be
prepared. If these recommendations
be adopted the committee is certain that
Minneapolis will have as good system,
or better, for the disposition of waste
material as any city in the country.

RAY is TOO CALM.
How His Indifferent Mein Is

cupies the big north room in the county

his attorney, r. L. Penny, and w. IL.
Donahue, who will assist in the de-
Tense. Bail could be furnished. but
Ray prefers remaining where he is to
bothering friends and himself, too, as
he would no doubt be Immediately re-
arrested where he to be released on
bail.
Public sentiment regarding Ray has
changed but little since his arrival
here, although what little change has
occurred is not favorable to him. 1t IS
the evidence of those who came into the
city with him that he was undergoing
great mental strain, and that his Sc em-
ing Indifference was solely the result OF
the determined effort of a powerful
will. He was nervous and ill al ease.
He disliked talking about his case, but
when he did, appeared cool and
steady. Under all his bold front,
however, traces of great excitement
were revealed. And right here is point
that, while it is in no way evidence,
tells against him. He is unnaturally
cool. 1t is most difficult matter. and
has been ever since be was arrested. to
draw him into conversation respecting
his case. Whenever any one has at
tempted to talk with him about his
rather uncomfortable predicament he
has appeared calm and dispasslonate.
but has always changed the converse
ton on the slightest provocation. The
subject seems to be distasteful to him.
This fact arouses suspicion with many.

circumstances pointing toward his guilt.

REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.
Street Privileges Have Been
Granted Without Authority.

City Attorney Russell reported that,
in accordance with the motion of Aid.
Mccoy, made at a recent meeting, he
had looked into the matter of the cOun-
CLIPS right to grant merchants the privi-
lege of extending their stores into the
streets He found that the council had no
authority to allow encroachments upon
the streets, as had been done in the
case of Simpson & Henderson, and
others. The city attorney also re-
ported on the amendment to
the license ordinance proposed some
time ago. This amendment sought to
shut off the Theater Comique by pro-
viding that no license be granted for a
variety theater located in the same
building with saloon. The city attor
ney recommended that the amendment
be not adopted. There is similar pro
vision already incorporated in the or
dinances. The city attorney also re-
ported that he had examined the pre-
liminaries looking to the construction
OF the Fifteenth avenue southeast
bridge, and could see no reason why
the bridge should not be built imme
diately.
Henry Altnow reported the names of
nearly dozen salOonkeeperS who were
found guilty of violating the liquor
ordinances during the month of July.
Their names are as follows: Cyril PO-
mario, 100 Central avenue; Hawkins d

Minneapolis, is the manager of this st.
Paul Investment and Savings society?
Is it not a fact that o. c. Kneale was
compelled to resign from the union and
return alarge sum of money, some S25,-
600. he had appropriated from said as
ISOLATION? Is it not fact that this man,
0. Z. Kneale. is the manager and gen
eral Steerer of this model saving society
of ST. Paul, and is managing its affairs
without giving any bonds to protect in
nocent bondhOlders? We think this is
sufficient for the people Of Wausau aud
elsewhere to investigate this Invest
ment and Savings company of st. Paul
before investing their hard-earn ed dol
lars therein"
Another article appearing in the ASH
land Daily Press, which Kneale also
credits to Minneapolis men, ran like the
following:
"A few nuts for fine representatives Of
the Investment and Savings society, OF
st. Paul, to crack"
1t starts out by stating: ave think
it would be we'll for the citizens of Ash
land to investigate the st. Paul COM
pany, whose representative is in the
city," 1t then puts about the same i'll
terrogationS as appear i'll the Central
mark: without going into further
particulars, we consider this enough to
put the good people on their guard, )"
These articles appeared in June.
Numerous others from various papers
also appeared in the complaint until
the complaint said: "The plaintiff fur
| ther alleges that the defendants Cole
| and Haywood, then and there in the
presence of Miller, Biggs and Keith,
for themselves and the other defendant,

Kneale claims that through this he
lost his position as general manager of

of that organization He claims, the
statement to be wholly false, and made
only to cause his dismissal. For this he

report, but President Johnson wanted.
to know what effect the adoption OF 1T
would have. He thought if the adop-
ton would bind the council to action it
should be carefully considered. Aid.
Potter said the adoption Of the report
would simply show that the council had
confidence in the committee, but Bra
dish declared that the adoption of that
report would bind the council to action
as much as would the adoption of a mo
ton covering the same ground. Aid.
Grimes moved to amend the motion to
adopt by making it read accept, but
Potter diSliked that action because ac-
ceptance would mean nothing. Downs
objected to adoption because he thought
such an important matter should be
considered carefully before any final
action should be taken. Several other
aldermen talked in the same strain.
Aid McGowan couldn't see how any
further information could be secured on
the subject, as that committee was GER
tainly an able one. He thought the re-
port should be adopted, as the figures
were certainly reliable. The report
was then accepted and ordered printed.
Aid. Potter afterward moved that the
city comptroller be directed. in making
the assessments for the general I'M
provement fund for 1891, to provide
$4,000 for the purpose of establishing
an electric light plant to be owned by
the city. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on ways and means.

Case Again Continued to Mon

The Washburn Mills Injunction
Case Again Continued to Mon
day.
The hearing in the case Of Frank E.
Holmes VS.. The c. G. Washburn Flour
ing Mills Company and the directors.
of that corporation came up finally be-
fore Judges Young and Hooker yester-
day. 1t seems strange, but yesterday
was the first time that the case was
fully explained to the court, although
the matter has been up twice before,
but this was formality simply for
undoubtedly both of the judges who
listened to the statement of the case
were fully acquainted with the facts.
Mr.. Shores, the senior counsel for the
plaintiffs, at the judges request stated
the case. cit can be explained very
briefly" Then he proceeded to state
that the mills we're owned by the G. c.
Washburn FIGURING Mill company.
They were now operated by the Wash
burn Crosby company. 1t was now the
desire of some of the directors to lease
the mills to the WashburnCrOsby COM
pany for five years. Saturday. July S6,
meeting was held in an Irregular
manner; four members of the
board were present; Secretary
Bailey, one of them, objected
to the action which they then took,
ordering an execution of the lease;
another meeting was held the next
Monday, where it was claimed the
action was sustained by a majority of
the board. MIR. Holmes would not at
tempt to restrain the directors from
executing lease in a regular manner,
but he was opposed to their holding
meetings in back offices and three or
four directors making the lease as the
whole board. The corporate seal was
not placed Oh the lease, nor was it
signed by the secretary. II it was to be
done it was to be done by law. Mr..
| Shores said that he would abandon the
two first cases.
The rest OF the forenoon was taken
up by request upon the part OF the
| plaintiffs to amend their complaint by
| putting in a certain clause about the
brands of flour manufactured, their
| high standing, and attaching the lease
| to the Washburn-CrOsby company.
| After considerable legal wrangling this
! amendment was finally decided against
| the plaintiffs, however, and the argu-
| davitS of the various directors were
again read, which brought out the fact
| that John Washburn and others had a
| right to vote as directors of the c. C..
| Washburn Mill company. This has
been contested by the plaintiffs, as Mr..
| Washburn is also director in the
Washburn-Crosby company. Judge
Shaw occupied the whole afternoon in
his argument against the granting of a
permanent injunction, and submitted
numerous authorities upon the question.
| Before Judge Shaw finished his argu-
| ment the case was adjourned to Mon
| day of next week at 10 a. m.
