THE WASHER MASHED.
He Ran Up Against a Husband
With a Hand Like q Ham.

There is a real estate man in the Bos-

some day-at least enough to leave the
wives of strong men alone. He was

For some time this dirt-dealing masher

as he expresses 1.-THE would bow and
smile, OH so sweetly! His attentions
became annoying to the lady. She told
her husband about it. He Laid for"
the masher. His TIME did not come
until yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon the aforesaid eX.
shoe man and his wife came in on the
500 road. They took car at the depot.

fortunately for him. Neither did he OBJ
serve the object of his unwelcome
former attentions until the car had al

he did SO he resumed the old plan of
bowling and smiling. Then, as he arose
to leave the car. he repeated the offenSe.
All this time the husband was on the

the husband to friend. The friend

AID. COLE EXPLAINS.
He Tells All About That Thir-
teenth Street Vacation.

In regard to the vacation by the city
in tavor of A. NJ. Reid of twenty-foot
strip of Thirteenth Street west of Nicol-
let avenue, eX-Ald. Cole yesterday made
the following explanation:
II introduced and championed the
resolution by which the council vacated
that land" said he, land am not by any
means ashamed of my action.
"a. Nj. Reid owned a strip thirty feet
wide Oh Grant street. which is the south
boundary of the land in question. This
strip had never been dedicated to. the
city, and MI Reid offered, in case the
city would give him twenty-f0ot strip
on Thirteenth street, the north bound
airy of his land, to give the city the
thirty feet in Grant street. 1t was a
plain business proposition, and think
the city got the long end of the
bargain. The trade was made, and
the city now owns the thirty
feet in Grant street. Again,
Thirteenth street is siXty-foot street,
except in the vicinity of the Reid prop
erty and [ thought it would work no
hardship to make it the same width
throughout. A proposition was first
made to reduce the street to sixty feet,
without reference to the Grant street
property, and Mr.. Reid was ready to
take ten feet and give ten to the people
across the way. But had this been done
the city would have been compelled to
have condemned the thirty feet in Grant
street, which could not have been done
for less than 100000"

Annihilated in Mid-Air.

Nashville American.
One afternoon about O'Clock, just
before a heavy shower, several gentle
men were sitting in front of store in
West Nashville, when one of the party
observed large turkey buzzard that
was sailing majesticaily across the sky,
and remarked that if the buzzard did
not look out he would get wet.
Their attention was thus called to the
bird, and all were lazily watching its
flight. when suddenly, just as it was
opposite and above them, they were
blinded by flash of lightning. which
seemingly exploded on the back of the
buZZard.
They were astonished somewhat. but
recovered themselves and looked for the
buzzard, but, alas! the majestic bird
was out of sight. Ali that was left of
him was a few black tail feathers,
which floated pathetlcally to the ground.
Those who witnessed the phenome-
non succeeded in catching several Of
the scorched feathers, which they eX-
hibit IN confederation of the story.

A LARGE TRANSACTION.
The Centenary Church Property
Sold for $125,OOO.

One Of the largest real estate transac-
tians in several years has been con-
summated the past week. H. f. Lilli-
bridge, of cracker manufacture fame,
has purchased the property of the Cen
tenary church, corner of Seventh street
aud First avenue south. The lot has
a frontage of $50 feet on First avenue
and was sold for S125,O00, OF about 500
per front foot. There is an incum-
brance on it of $4,000, and Mr.. Lilli-
bridge advances $4,000 cash. The con-
ditions of the sale are that if the church
gets an opportunity to sell the property
at an advance within the next two years
it is at liberty to do so and turn the in
crease into the treasury. Mr.. Lilli-
bridge is prominent member of the
church which accounts for the liberal
terms he has offered.

OLD CASE RECALLED.
A $4,000 Damage Suit Bobs Up
in Court Again.

On the night of April 80, 1890, Oscar
C. Squires and wife were driving along
Hennepin avenue, and were upset into
an excavation made by A. j. Finnegan,
a contractor. Mrs. SQuires was so seri-
ously injured that she died that night,
and Mr.. Squires was also badly
hurt. AS her administrator Mr.. Squires
brought suit against the city and Fin
negan for $1,000, and for injuries to him
self in the sum of $1,000. The case for
her death was dismissed, as the CON-
plant did not state facts sufficient for
an action. The costs were charged
to the plaintiff, to which he objected,
because police officers and other city
officials were named as witnesses en-
titled to fees. He claimed that they
were part of the city, and therefore a
portion of the defendant. AS every cit
izen is a part of the municipality, the
court, after listening to protracted ar
gument, decided that the officers were
entitled to their fees equally with any
other citizen.

afternoon in the Central Coffee room,
next to the Globe building. The sher-
if remarks on the subject:
II wantour place to be criticised fairly
and squarely, but this idea of grumbling
women getting up and in wholesale
terms denouncing our work and our
Jail is ridiculous. 1t would be good
plan for those who seem to take such
delight in eternally going for me and
my deputies to have care for the
cleanliness of their own homes, instead
of always pitching into me when l am
doing my best with the old Jail at my

South Town Citizens Object to a
Street Opening Assessment.

SUFSCG ODouIHS ASSCSSLnCHJ.
The matter of the Cedar avenue
bridge has stirred up a big commotion
in South Minneapolis. Residents in
that portion of the city have been very
anxious for laying out and opening
Cedar avenue from its present terminus
to the Minnesota river. Some twenty
three citizens signed bond indumni-
flying the county from any loss if the
commissioners opened the roadway. A
bill has been presented to the parties
amounting to SSSS.75 and a demand
made for immediate payment. Each of
the signers is held in the sum of S3S.64;
hence the kick. The signers to the in
demnity bond are:

Stoft, Henry Gund. Remnant Sunde,

son, J. II. Parry, A. P. Anderson.
A prominent member of South town,
in speaking of the matter, said: "Hen-
nepin has built every road in the county,
and why in the name of justice should

"When we wanted the bridge built
John Swift and Mike Nash gave us to
understand that the bound was simply
a formal mat<r.
"They said that they would see that
the benefits assessed would equal the
damages allowed, so that the opening
of the street to the bridge would be
merely nominal. Then, of course, it
was supposed that the county surveyor
was to do the county surveying, but the

have seen fit to assess that against the
