COMMITTEE WORK.
Considerable Routin Work Trans
acted by Council Committees.

The council committee on water
office Of the supervisor. and audited
the regular budget OF expense bulls. A
few changes were also made in the loca-
ton of mains.
The committee on fire department
met in the afternoon, and beside pass
ing upon bills, discussed the advisable
ity OF paving the sidewalks in front of
the various engine houses.
The sewer committee audited the paw
rolls and opened bids for the contract to
furnish brick for the construction Of the
sewers. The bids were as follows: E,
S7.25; Wisconsin Red Pressed Brick
company. 1922; Anton Lee. S7.15; W.
B. Griswod, 1856. The committee will
recommend the award of the contract
10 Anton Lee, the lowest bidder.
The committee Oh railroads also met,
but only considered bills. Assistant
City Engineer Cappelin, however, sub
mitted infol mally 10 the members of
this committee his plans and estimates
for the raising or lowering of the hast
Jugs & Dakota tracks. These estimates
showed that the lowering of the tracks
below The level Of the roadways would
cost 1881 ,uUu. OF when Inc clty'S share
would be S2l4.00O and the railroad com
pany's S2l7.000. The raising OF the
tracks sufficiently to run above tho road
ways would cost 1910. 200. of which the
city's share would be 1850, 700 and the
railway company's portion $3.50, 500.
Both plans contemplate forty three
bridges. with thirty six foot roadway.
For some reason which has not yet been
developed these plans will not be sub
mltted at the next meeting of the coun-
ell.
The proposed plan of towering the
short line tracks from the union depot
to Minneapolis junction Mr.. Cappelin
pronounces impracticable.

Immediately Rev. @. l.. Merrill was

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Minneapolis Narrowly Misses An
other Big Lumber Yard Fire.

Minneapolis Narrowly Misses An.
other Big Lumber Yard Fire.
Another serious lumber yard fire was
narrowly arrested yesterday noon by
prompt and earnest action. Shortly
after IL O'Clock we'll developed blaze
was discovered in the II. G. Akely lum-
Der yard. in North Minneapolis, in
pile of 2XS stuff near the end of the saw
mill. The lumber was well sea-
soned and burned readily, but the en-
ployes of the company went to work at
once with the apparatus on the grounds
and held the fire in check until the fire
department arrived, when it was
promptly eXtinguished. The wind was
blowing perfect gale at the time, and
had the fire been allowed to gain much
greater Roadway it is difficult to say
what the damage would have been. AS
it was. the loss was very slight. 1t is
believed that the trouble was caused by
spark from the chimney.
Shortly after the firemen had left
second pile of lumber was discovered to
be on fire, and another alarm was turned
in. but the blaze was eXtinguiShed with
out further damage.
Another attempt to burn the Turn
quist block On Sixth street oc-
CURED Monday night. About
o'clock smoke was seen coming out of
the Easement, and an examination
showed that the ince2diary, or incen-
diaries who have during the past three
weeks made six attempts to burn the
building, had been at work again. In
the cellar, near the wall, was found
quantity of wood which had been sat
urated with oil and ignited, and near it
can of oil. A few pals of water ex-
tingulshed the blaze. A young man
wearing light clothes was seen to come
out Of the building shortly before the
fire was discovered, and it is believed
that he is the firebug. A more accurate
description of his appearance could not
be obtained.

HIS OWN FAULT.

The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury
in the Case of Joseph Porter.
Coroner Byrnes held an inquest yes
terday morning at o'clock at Gleason
q McAllister's morgue as to the cause
of the death of Joseph Porter, who was
run over by an electric car on Sunday
night. The important witnesses were
c. w. Davis, j. G. Graves and
b. F. Scott, the motor man and
conductors, respectively, of the train
Deputy Coroner Orion, Police Surgeon
Gibson and several who were passen-
gers on the car. All who saw the acct
dent concur in the statement that Por
ter jumped off the car between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, without waiting
for the speed to be slackened, although
the signal to stop had been given, and
that he was thrown between the cars
and run over by the trailer. The testi-
mony did not positively establish the
TACT that he was drunk.
The jury returned a verdict finding
that Porter's death was due to his own
negligence in getting off the car while
In full motion and generating the
street car employees from all blame.

WANTS HER RIGHTS.
Emma Schmidt After Durham on
an OLD Judgment.

Yesterday the case of Emma Schmidt
VS. Maurice Durham ct al. was on trial
before Judge Hooker. The case recalls
a sensation that happened nearly two
years ago. The two were lover and
sweetheart. but in the course of time
Emma found her fair name blasted and
at the same time that the tickle Morris
was about 10 wed another. Made deS-
perate by her loss of honor and lover,
she went 10 his home and shot him.
The romance finally terminated in the
courts where she secured judgment
against him for $4,000. but was never
able to collect any of the amount. He
had decided all his property to his moth
er aud other persons, as she claims,
with intent to prevent the satisfying of
her Judgment. The suit now on trial is
to set aside those deeds and allow her to
come in and satisfy an execution issued
upon the Judgment.

Pierce Denies 1t All.

G. A. Pierce returned yesterday from

denies absolutely the story that the
Chinese mission was offered him. He
has no desire to go to China, as he has
all the business he can attend to right
here in Minneapolis. Spanking of the
Republican national convention, he
said he thought Minneapolis had the
best chance to secure it after Chicago.
The manner in which Minneapolis ham
dies the big Y. p. S. G. Z. convention
will. he thinks, go far toward proving
how the Republican national conven-
ton could be taken care of.
