But the Concord avenue ASSESS
inent Confirm ed---sOuLh st. Paul
Council.
Sitting as common council AMI board
of public works the aldermen of South
st. Paul accomplished good deal OF
business last night. They confirmed
the Concord avenue assessment in the
face of serious objections from Robert
Manufacturer ct al; Hall & Fitzpatrick,
attorneys. and the st. Paul Union
Stockyards company, Lusk & Bum,
attorneys, and others. Judge A. 5.
Hall represented the first, and L. 5.
TOmpkins represented the second. They
explained that they were not so anxious
for a legal fight as to have the council
proceed correctly. They agreed that
the railroad frontage should occasion a
general tax. The confirmation Will
prr badly lead TO law suit. j. b. Tar

a lot OH Concord avenue for fire hall,
which was accepted. Bids on vault

OUTRAGED BY AN EMPLOYE
Bertha Walstad Claims Heavy
Damages From the Milwaukee
Road,

Bertha Walstad Claims Heavy
Damages From the Milwaukee
Road.
A novel action was yesterday begun
in the United States circuit court, The
complainant is Bertha WalStad and the
defendant is the Chicago. Milwaukee, IL
st. Paul Railway company, which is
technically charged with making an in
decent, laSciviOus assault and battery
upon the SAID Bertha, who was then I'M
married and bearing the name of Lar
sen, but has since married and become
Mrs. WalStad.
The offense charged is of most ag-
graVated haTacter-atfecting all that is
desirable in the reputation for chastity
of the cOmplainant-and for which she
wants $4,000 damages. The story is
most narrowing one when stripped of the
legal verbage of the complaint. On the
night of December 80. 1855, Bertha
bought ticket over the railroad named
from Winona to Peterson by way
of La Crescent and Rushford,
Being passenger for hire over its road
the company was in duty bound to give
her suitable transportation and other
c0nveniences. 1t neglected and omitted
To provide llPr WlJn a suitable waiting
room at Peterson, where she desired to
go, but kept the one provided for pas
sengers at that place locked and with
out light at night. The conductor Of
the train on when she was travelling adj
viSed her to stop at RushfOrd and take
the morning train to Peterson, az it
was then after midnight. and che Rush
ford station would be open, whereas the
one at Peterson was closed. She did as
requested by the conductor. The sta
ton at Rusf0rd was in charge Of Walter
Greene, who, as servant of the rail-
way, was in duty bound to treat her
respectfully and decently, defend and
guard her against insults, misconduct
and lascivious approaches and behavior
of its agents, servants and employees.
While she was under Grpene's care he
unlawfully, willfully and criminally
committed an indecent and aggravated
assault and battery upon her. and was
guilty of outrageous, obscene and las
eviouS behavior toward her. to the out
rage of her feelings; put her to dismay
and insulted her virtue. She charges
that the railway company, with full
knowledge of his misconduct, ratified
the acts of Greene by retaining him in
its service, ana she alleges that it is,
therefore, responsible for the damage to
her as cIaimAu.

A HEATED DEBATE
Over Widening West Seventh
Street-tSoard of Public Works.

Over Widening West Seventh
Street-Board OF Public Works.
The usual monotony of proceedings in
the board of public works was enliv-
ened yesterday by an acrimonious de-
bate between Chris Hoar and Martin d.
Clark. About fifty of the citizens who
own property on West Seventh street
were before the board in reference to
the widening of that th0r0ughfare from
Tuscarora street to the Fort Smelling
bridge. Mr.. Hoar is the leader of the
movement tn widen the street from
sixty-Sx to eighty feet. and Mr.. Clark
leads the objectorS. Each grew WARM
in the expression of his views, and from
addressing the board fell to talking at
one another. They were shut off by
motion to lay the matter over for one
week, which prevailed.
Bids for the grading of Mississippi
street and for a sewer on Pleasant ave-
nue. were referred to the city engineer
for his opinion as to the fairness of the
propositions.
The contract for building sewer on
Banfil street was awarded to Hanson IL
Johnson at S474. and the contract for
grading Mississippi street was voted to
Timothy Sweeney, who bid 1885.

THE REVOLVER SNAPPED.
But Failed to Exp ode--A Conduct
or's Experience.

or's Experience.
Conductor McDermott, of the Great
Northern Short Line road, had an inter
esting time of it last evening in attempt
ing to put couple of passengers off the
$3.50 short line train out from st. Paul.
His first customer was drunken man
who had ticket, but did not
know enough to produce it. On
being asked for it he re-
pied: "The fellow in the upper
berth has it," but after some threats the
ticket was produced. The second eX-
perience was not quite SO pleasant. The
passenger was st. Anthony Park man,
and he had communication ticket which
had expired. The man was sufficiently
under the influence of liquor to be ugly.
At Hamline Conductor McDermOtt
and brakeman prepared to put the
man off the train, whereupon the
latter pulled revolver from his hind
pocket, and quickly bringing it to bear
upon the conductor, pulled the trigger.
There was little click, but the weapon
failed to go off. The conductor, as did
others, stepped back and left him un-
mOteSted for the rest of the trip. At st.
Anthony Park he alighted. but he was
followed closely by the station agent.
who was DESTROYS of obtaining his
name.

DISCUSSED TRUSTS.
At the Peoples Lyceum-Ex. Co
Austin Called Down.

At the Peoples Lyceum-Ex. Gov.
Austin Called Down.
The meeting of the Peoples Church
lyceum last evening was attended by an
unusually large number of people. Miss
Wagner's piano solo was appreciated
as fitting opening of the exercises.
An exhibition by Mrs. W. M. Dunn, of
Minneapolis, of the harmony Of motion
according to Delsarte, was a pleasing
feature. Her posing and graceful
motions in waves and curves were
watched with interest, and she was re-
called to acknowledge the appreciation
of the audience.
The paper OF the evening was on
"Trusts," with ex-Gov. Austin as the
reader. He took occasion to Justify
large corporations and combinations
INTO trusts with so much persistence
that his position was submitted to Sc
we're dissection in the three-minute
speeches which followed. He admitted
that the effect of trusts has heretofore
been in the line of raising prices of
necesSarieS, but thought that the tend
ency would eventually be toward produc-
ing better arti, les of manufacture and
to lowering prices. He s i'd the claim
given into their hands they would regu-
late the effect of trusts, was TO his no.
ton humbug and but the claim of
demagogues. In his opinion the bill in
trOduced in the senate by Senator Sher-
man would afford all the relief neceS-
Sary. He thought that the Standard Oil
company and the large railroad c0rpo-
rationS had done much good by reason or
their large aggregation of capital. In
this view j. Ii. Davidson concurred.
The applause which greeted the speak
erS in opposition to these sentiments
indicated that the audience was very
LARGELY opposed to the present policy of
harboring trusts. DR.. s. Il. Smith took
OCCASION to say that he was neither
dpmagogue nor politician, but he does
not believe in trusts: neither did ne be-
lieve in the StaDdard OIL or any other
company being able to buy the Ohio ley
islature nor the United States senate.
The ownership Of the coal fields OF
PENNSYLVANIA by the coal Darons like
wise had no sympathy from him. Let
corporations 20 on" said he, "but reg
ulate them"
One speakers thought that if some of
the articles on which trusts were com
bined were put oh the free list 1t would
reduce the cost to the consumer and
overthrow the trusts. Another speaker
favored but one trust, and that was the
one proposed by Bellamy-ownership by
tile government. He Thought he would
not live to see that day, but expressed
hope that many of his hearers should
live to see the practical operation OF tie
Bethany theory.

went through without a whimper.

Supt. Gilbert reported the total en-
rolllnent of students up 10 date was 49,
497. with four months remaining in the
school year. He feared that, with cen
trail schools already 0vercrowded, it
would be necessary to rent additional
rooms. The night schools closed with
February and the total enrolment was
less than in 1889. The exceedingly mild
weather and inexperienced teachers in
some schools had something to
do with this. The average attend
ance for February was 1n.SSS.
Two hundred Bohemians of the Fifth

THEIR CAUTION.

We wonder if some of our moneyed men
do not, when they look back over the past
three years, doubt their own keenness and
call in question their shrewdness and fore
sight We could name hundred of these
gentlemen, but are not going to, who have
in amazement, fear and trembling watched
the strangers come in here and gather
hundreds, thousands and even hundreds of
thousands of dollars from real estate trans
actions, while the former have picked up
nothing. Some of them have even sold at
low prices land which it would TO day take
fortunes to purchase. There is an
other peculiar circumstance which
may be mentioned. While lack
ing confidence, seemingly, in their
own city, many Salt Lake citizens have
gone into Ogden and Logan and
in every instance, we believe,
have made money from real estate
deals. A good many thousands have been
picked up by Salt Lakers from Ogden dirt,
and the Salt Lake money invested in Logan
lots has been or can be doubled, trebled OF
quadrupled. Old inhabitants, with plenty
Vi Eeduy CdSu anu unlimited credit, hesitate
at bargains, and then when the "soft
snaps" are taken by The mora venturesome
or more farsighted newcomer, the home
folks wonder why they are so slow and
ask themselves if they are losing their
judgment or falling behind the times. A
gentleman of wealth said to this writer
yesterday if ne had had the courage he could
have made million during the past two
years; but he didn't have the courage, and
as a consequence he is filed with
regrets while other peoples Golfers are
filed with gold. Even now, when prices
have gone TO heights which would have
been amazing a year or two ago, the strang-
er goes in with earnestness and confidence,
and keeps making clean ups, while the
home citizen halts if he does not stand
aghast.
We do not say these things to criticise or
censure, nor to make them feel bad by re-
tiecting on what they have lost through
their caution and conservatism; but
wouldn't we all feel better if the old in
habitants were receiving larger share of
the fruits Of the boom?
