Engineer Rinker Has COMPLETED

Proposition.
The city engineer has completed the
plans for lowering and bridging the H.
q D. tracks from Fort avenue to Lake
of the Isles. But the work is only half
done. Similar plans and estimates must
be prepared for lowering the short line
tracks and the yards. These plans will
not be ready for presentation to the city
council before May l. The II. u d.
matter. however, is we'll in hand.
In all there are Al bridges to be built.
from Fort avenue to Lake of the Isles.
10 of them by the railroad company and
% by the city. The city has the less eX-
penSlve bridges. because they cross the
narrower. 60-fOOt streets. while the rail-
road bridges cross the wide. so. 80 and
lO0-fOOt streets. The cost of these
bridges, as estimated by Bridge Engineer
+. w. COppellen. is from $4,000 to Sc. 600
each. varying with the width OF the
streets. This would represent a total
cost OF $4,000 to Sl14.000 for the railroad
company and SSS. 600 to $4,000 for the
city, TO say nothing OF the cost of grad
ing. The engineer thinks it will posi-
bly, be to the advantage cf the CITY 10
have the tracks raised. 1t will certainly
cost less for the bridges if this is done.
and Mr.. Rinler thinks tine raising is the
proper thing. However, he Will prepare
the plans, showing both sides, and pre-
sent them TO the council without recon-
mendatiOn.

WHAT IS THIS?
Rev. D. A. Graham Says There Is a
Slave in Minneapolis.

Another minister has fathered a SEN
sation. This time it is Rev. D. a. Ora
ham, pastor Of St. Peters A. NJ. E..
church. He springs the sensation
through the medium of the Appeal,
the organ of the cOlored population of
the Northwest. 1t is headed "Minne
sofas Slave" and charges that a cGlOred
girl Is still held in bondage by all ex-
SOutherner who lives in Mime apOiis.
1t is stated that she has been in the
family since she was baby Of two. and
has been taught to consider herself an
adopted child. 1t is charged that she
is never allowed out of the Tamily's
reach and is soon to be ''shut up in that
living tomb, convent" IN order TO
shut her mouth forever" but that she
has found opportunity TO tell the story
or her life to some of the girls in st.
Peters church and that lit is enough to
make the blood of stone boil with
rage" The article closes thus:
AT one time, less than three months
ago. she was cOwhlded by the villain till
her clothes were glued to her back by
her blood, ami for weeks she was una
bic to lie on her back. This was be-
cause she would not submit 10 the de-
sires OF the lecherous devil. The half
cannot be told, but she was finally per-
suaded to allow Rev. Graham to inter-
fere in her behalf, and legal counsel
was sought Tuesday morning. By
clever ruSe, the trunks already packed.
were secured, Ostensibly for the depot,
ana when too late the master found his
slave with all her goods had escaped"
The man in question is said to be a
prominent business man. The article
looks like fake" 1t would be so con-
sidered did not the colored minister's
name appear in it. OF course, no min
lister OF the gospel would resort TO fax
ing"

in the summer Of 1889, at least six
months before he became acquainted
with Christina. His former landIady
testified that last fall he had another
spell, when he was very restless and
complained of great pain in the head.
One day he was found sitting on rail
road track Oh the East side, and had no
knowledge as to where he had been.
The jail hands had noticed him acting
strangely, and at one time a knife was
taken away from him TO prevent trouble
His malady had taken a religious turn

half, but there seemed little doubt of his
insanity, so he was committed to the

THE LovEJoY DECISION.
The Surviving Partner Must Fill e
Report With Figures.

Judge CorTigan does not waste much
time in reflection when case is argued
before him. Yesterday he made his
orders in the matter, and the final ac-
counting will be held on date three
weeks from last Monday. The claims of
the City bank and Peter WoIford we're
ordered. allowed on the 335S per cent
basis upon which the other claims had
been paid. 1t seems that Judge Won
Schlagel had forgotten to mark them
ordered. which was probably the cause
of their being left unsettled. He also
made an order asking the executors 10
hand IN a report Of The disposition of
the property of the firm of Farnhem d
LOveJoy by the surviving partner. At
the time OF the executors report. they
had simply stated that the firm was in
solvent. but the Judge thinks that the
correct Interpretation Of the law pro-
vides that a report in writing should be
submitted. The whole matter will
probably reach a climax at the next
hearing.

Echoes Of the Lumber exchange fire
continue to float around the back alleys
ana the uneXpi0red portions of the
Eighth ward. Talk about that fire and
about the events Immediately succeed
ing it has not yet subsidized. And the
insurance men get the worst of it from
the pnblic, too. The failure of the in
suTance men to make public their report
on the FIRE causes much unTaVOrable
comment TO be hurled at the heads OF
the poor insurance men. OF course the
newspapers published the substance of
that report. But it was published with
out the sanction of the insurance men.
Many people take this reluctance on the
part of the underwriters to make public
that report as evidence that they didn't
make out such a good case as might
have been expected.
Then this cyclone of comment which
sWirled through the streets on the sub
lect of the paint ordinance has subsidized.
1t left the insurance men IN a deplOra-
Bile plight. After the Lumber Exchange
fire the insurance men demanded that
the council pass an ordinance prOhlOlu-
ing the storage Of paints and oils in
buildings contiguous TO other buildings.
They must have It. They couldn't get
the city hall and conferred with the city
attorney ana the council committee OIL

attorneys suggestion meeting Of in
surance men, ire committee ana pant
and oil dealers, all people interested Ia
the ordinance. was called for last Mon
day. One member of the insurance
committee and three business men at
tended the meeting. Nobody seemed
much interested in the proposed Ordi-
nance. Most everybody thinks that the
present ordinance is sufficient. The
general opinion seems to be that the in
surance men have come out of the little
end of the cOrnucoDia and IN very
ridiculous plight. Everywhere one
hears comment on this matter.
If the insurance men Will only eXer-
else a little more care in writing insur-
ance." said one gentleman yesterday,
they would have no occasion to tear
their hair in full view of the audience.
They don't need any ordinance to gov
ern the dealers in paint and oil. If they
viii only write strIcter policies they will

z G. Potter continues to spend all his

More About the System OF Trans
fer From the Court.
The stir caused in police and munic-
ipal court circles by the discovery a
few weeks ago that prisoners destined
for the workhouse had paid their fines
and escaped Iaboring Tor the city, while
the fines we're never accounted for,
seems to have subsidized. At the time
this matter came to light it was SAID
that some system of checking prisoners
sent TO the wOrkhouse would be de-
Vised which would prevent the Tecur-
renee OF such work in the future. Supt.
henderson was asked yesterday If any
change i'm the system of transfer now in
vogue had been or would be made.
No" said he. I'VE don't need anv
change in the system. We've made all
the change that was necessary. The
only change needed was to put an hon
est man in charge of That work. That
IS all that Is required"
Nevertheless. there be those who diff
fer from the superintendent of police on
this point. A system under which
TOguery IS possible cannot we'll be a
good one. 1t has been demonstrated
that dishonesty can be practiced under
this system. 1t must be faulty. SchWaO

the men from whom he collected a fine

peared in the municipal court again be-
fore the time for which he was SEN

under the present system. 1t is not Ger
tain that an honest man will always Oc-
cupy the position vacated by Schwab. S
Then there IS another point worthy of
mention ID this connection. The criti-
clSm has been made more than once
that escapes from the wOrkhOuse are
more frequent than they should be.
superintendent W est denies that any
one ever escaped from his bastile. 1t is
certain, however. that people do escape
from there. Shouldn't there be some
system IN vogue which Will Indicate Just

SHOUTS OF the Former.
Aid. Gray spent Good Friday looking
over the quarantine hospital. When he
came back from there he was over
wrought with Indignation at the state of
affairs existing out there. It has been
learned that hogs are at the bottom of
the alderman's Outburst of wrat1.- In
the rear Of the hospital there is a pau
per's burying ground or pOtter's field.
The bodies are incased in pine coffins
and inferred to depth of four or five
feet. In another portion of the lot there
is pig stye, for the accommodation and
convenience Of two plump pigs. Through
some oversight, the territory allotted to
the pOrcines laps over one end of the
burying ground. Hogs must root or die.
These hogs root, and they root deepest
over the graves of the paupers. They
have succeeded in digging down some
two feet. The board of health remedied
this unpleasant state of affairs by order
ing a fence built between the pig pen
and the burying ground.
