FIRST STREET GRADE.
THE ELECTRIC ROAD COMPANY AND
THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
A Special Meeting of the Council Yester-
day at Which the Matter is Discussed.
Action Deferred.

The First street grade has caused
more or less trouble ever since it was
proposed, and yesterday the matter
cropped up again in controversy be-
tween the property-owners near the
crossing of First and Figueroa streets
and the Electric railroad company. 1t
seems that the first ordinance of inten-
ton passed by the council called for a
cut of thirty-three feet at the intersec-
ton of First and Figueroa streets. The
property-owners objecting to this,'a Sec
ond ordinance was passed, calling for a
one-in-ten grade on First street from
Beaudry avenue to Olive street. The
Electric railroad company agreed not to
go below that grade, but, finding that
a state law, which went into effect
on March 31st Of the present year,
rendered the grade of one in ten illegal,
the railroad company proceeded TO cut
on First street five feet below grade.
The property holders interested, finding
what the railroad was doing, notified
the council, demanding that the law be
complied with. The board OF public
works went out and visited the point in
controversy, and a special meeting OF
the council was called for 10 am. yes
terday. The property holders interested
and their friends were present, but no
representative of the railroad. The
city attorney was ordered to draw up a
new ordinance, in accordance with the
state law, defining the boundaries inter
ested in tine grade of said street, and an
adjournment was had until pm.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The city attorney presented the ordi-
nance as directed by the council at the
morning session.
Captain Barrett, as the representative
of the Electric railroad company, was
present, and being allowed to speak,
desired that the matter be referred to a
special committee, that a compromise
grade might be agreed upon, as other
wise the railroad proposed to lay their
track according to their franchise, on
the official grade OF one in sixteen,
which would cause considerable litlga-
tion.
In answer to question, Captain Bar
rett said that work would be discontin-
ued until the matter WAS settled one
way or the other if it was referred to a
committee as he requested.
Several property owners spoke, ex-
pressing disbelief in the promise OF
Captain Barrett that work would be sus-
pended until the question was settled,
as similar promise had been made on
the council floor previously, which
promise had been broken. They wanted
the ordinance passed, and if any COM
promise was effected, it could readily be
done afterwards, and would involve
merely the expense Of re advertising.
Captain Barrett replied, giving an ex-
PLANTATION OF the promise said to have
been made, stating that it had been
made conditionally, to the board of pub
lie works, and that the conditions not
having been complied with, the railroad
was released from its promise.
After much discussion it was moved
and carried, that the further consdera-
ton of the matter be deferred until the
regular session on Monday.
Adjourned.

A Riot over the Killing of a Smuggler
Near Gibraltar.


GIBRALTAR, May ia patrol of
Spanish soldiers and number of to-
bacco company's guards, yesterday
evening surprised smuggler near the
frontier, and attempted his capture.
The smuggler opened fire upon the SOL
diers and guards. The latter returned
the fire, killing the smuggler. Today the
inhabitants of the villages near where
the accident occurred, being in sympathy
with the dead smuggler, and bitterly
opposed to those who killed him, at
tacked number OF guards, and firing
upon the company's employees, wound
ed two of them seI erely. The officials
replied by firing on their assailants,
killing two and wounding others. FL
nally the authorities were compelled to
summer the military in order to quell
the disturbance. TIE troops were able
to separate the combatants, but great
excitement still prevails on the frontier,
and further trouble is anticipated.

THE DRIVING PARK.

A drive out to Sibley Mound any
evening will impress one with the i'm
portance of retaining intact the race
course, if indeed it does not convince
him that it will be mistake to re-
move the stables. The track is COW
cred each evening with a grand dis
play OF young horses, finely bred and
speedy, whose owners take pardonable
pride in friendly contest, and it not
only affords pleasant pastime after
business hours, but what is Of vastly
greater Importance, it tends to the
breeding of trotting strains and the
improvement Of our driving horses.
1t would seem quite proper that
the council take under Amusement
the feasibility Of removing the long
line of sheds and erecting in their
stead handsomely designed stable
that will accommodate say twenty
head Of horses. Such a structure can
be so designed as 10 lend attraction,
rather than otherwise TO the grounds,
and it can be utilized to advantage to
the city in this: The FREE PRESS is
informed that several horse men from
different portions. of the state have
signifed willingness to hold sales of
blooded horses on these grounds per-
mission is granted and accommoda-
lions afforded, and the advantages to
be gained by-sach sales would
be very great to Mankato. They
would bring -tt6gether at intervals
men with money who would leave
more Or less with our business men,
and awaken an interest here for fine
horses that would be decidedly bene-
fetal TO this whole section.
A business-like- view of this matter
should be taken. .1Sibley Mound is am
ply large for an elegant park, a1splen-
did race course and a stable of hand
some architecture. Those who seek
pleasure at the park on summer even
ings could be Interestingly entertained
with trial speed of home horses, and
the combination would harmonic to
the pleasure and profit of all. Those
of our citizens who are interested in
such a move should make the fact
known to the council in some tangible
form and there is little doubt but an
amicable agreement could be arrived
at whereby the Driving Park could be
made to answer the dual purpose indi-
Gated.

AFTER THE PARK COMMITTEE.

"A Member of the Driving Club"
has communication in to-day's
FREE PRESS wherein he scores the
Park committee for permitting the
city property to be used for herding a
number of horses, when the club was
refused use Of the grounds for races.
fairs and other purposes.
We are under the impression that
our correspondent is in error when he
says that the use of the grounds was
refused for the July races. If our
memory serves US Alright the failure Of
these races occurred from lack of in
terest on the part of our citizens TO
subscribe the guarantee fund, and
not because the grounds were re-
fused.
The question of herding horses,
bronchos, or anything else in the park
is something that Mr.. Fowler may be
able to explain TO the satisfaction of
our correspondent. From the repre-
sensations set forth in the communi-
cation referred TO word on the mat
ter from the Park committee would
not be out of place, although there is
no likelihood that the horses will in
any wise injure the property in its
present uncultivated and crude con-
dition.

WHY Is THIS THUS /?
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press:
Only short time ago certain men,
bers Of the present city council inter-
fered with the Driving Club of this
city about having races and fairs, and
are going TO tear down fences, stables,
ETC., and for that reason the club had
TO abandon the races Of July 3 and 4
Of this year Now all I ask is for the
citizens Of Mankato TO take look at
the fair ground and see what you can
find roaming in there, viz: % western
horses, owned by syndicate of which
Mr.. John A Willard is president, and
so or 20 bronchos from the western
plains owned by several COW boys,
with Mr.. j. G. Fowler acting as auc-
tioneer. Is this the way to use a pub
lie piece Of property? Isn't it far bet
ter to encourage the breeding of fine
driving horses and giving them the
preference Of public property? But
no; the western horses have the pre-
ference. 1t makes difference whose
OK is gored. I think it is time for the
citizens to take the matter in hand
instead of trusting it to park COM
mittee where the chairman is inter
ested in the herd law.

CROP ACREAGE.

From statistics in the Office of the
County Auditor, it appears that the
acreage of oats. wheat and corn in this
county is considerably increased this
year over that of last year, while some
of the other crops have smaller acre
age. The statistics are gathered by
the assessors, but the towns of Decoria
Judson, LeRaY, Mankato and Shelby
failed to report this year and the same
towns with the exception Of LeRay
failed to report last year. ssThis makes
the showing very defective, yet the
proportion is probably nearly correct.
The figures are as follows:
