dence of the brides mother in Coe town
ship this evening occurred the marriage
OF Miss Emma Coe to W. II. Whigham,
OF Chicago. Our community never lost
a young lady from its soc al circle that
was more highly esteemed than Miss Coe.

friends. endeared herself to those who
were fortunate enough to be numbered
among her friends. The fortunate hus-
band of the young lady is teacher in
the Chicago Business College. The Ger,
emony was very quiet owing to the illness
OF the brides brother, and immediately y
after the ceremony and hearty supper
had been partaken of. the happy counle

On motion of Mr.. Lienau, the corpora
ton attorney was requested to report
to the delegation at his earliest con-
venience the time OF the expiration or
the city's contract with the gas COM
pany, and the rights of the city in the
premises.
Credit of the City.
Gen. Sanborn asked that E. w. Peet,
who was present, address the delegation
on the question of the effect an increase
of the bonded Indebtedness of the city
would have upon the credit Of the city
abroad.
Mr.. Peet delivered an intelligent ad-
dress in which he stated that when the
debt of a city amounted to more than
10 per cent of taxable valuation the
credit of the city would be impaired
and the bonds would not sell at pre-
MUM. He also stated that the time is
coming when the bonds of Western
cities will not sell so readily at par.
The reason assigned for this is that
such city bonds are usually bought up
by savings banks in New England, and
there will in time be surplus OF
such bonds. He also stated that edu-
cational bonds or certificates do not sell
readily, as there is general prejudice
against them because their credit is not
pledged by the city. He expressed the
view that it would be advisable to
fund all the debts and that all the bonds.
including the school certificates. should
be insured by the city. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Peet's address he was
rendered vote of thanks.
The delegation adjourned until
Wednesday evening.

CITY STREET RIGHTS.
The Regular Run of Work Before
an Important Committee.

The committee on streets last evening
INDUCED in a most interesting discus
sion anent the legality of the construc-
ton of two deep-chested bay windows
on the front of South Robert street
building. The structure is being erect
! ed by c. G. Meyer, and is to be three
stories high. The windows, ignoring an
ordinance to permit their construction,
are planned for the two upper stories
of the house, and it is asked that they
. bea allowed to project over the sidewalk
I line. from one to twenty-four inches. K.
f. Scribner, who owns adjoining
I property, protested against the passage
/ of the ordinance, claiming that his
premises will be obscured from
one point of view by the build
ing of the windows. Mr.. Serb
ner claimed that the windows
as designed would project thirty-ive
inches. He did not object to eighteen
inches. The proprietor of the bays
and the owner of the ObScured property
eventually compromised on basis of
tWenty-four inches projection. The
ordinance was amended to read twenty
| four inches, and was voted on fayorably.
| The proposition of William Hamm to
/ release the city from furnishing water
| out of the Phalen creek improvement
| was discussed. Hamm agrees to forego
| the supply of water to have been fur
| niShed him, in payment OF $4,000. Con-
| tractor Moran agrees to reduce the
| terms of his contract 81, 100 if not COM
\ PEELED to put in the water main. The
| propositions were considered fair, and
| the committee ordered the city attorney
! to draw up the necessary papers. The
K o1yn c NV hQ no
/ The claim of Noah Sinks for $3.50 paid
| as rent for a triangular piece of land at
| the intersection of Seventh, Market and
| Washington streets, used for market pur
poses was heard. Attorney W.P. Murray
| appeared for Mr.. Sinks, stating that the
| rents for the property had been col
lected monthly by the city, in spite of
| the leasing of the property to Sinks.
/ He asked that the $50 month paid by
/ Sinks, for FIVE months, be refunded to
| him. The matter was up at the last
committee meeting, and Mr.. Sinks was
requested to produce his receipts for
7 the rental. These were lost, but
an affidavit was submitted IN
| stead. After discussion the
committee voted to allow Sinks 5000.
The matter of bridge to be constructed
Eby the city at Hamline over Great
| Northern tracks was referred to the
city attorney and city engineer, to in
vestigate and report to the council.
The matter of the Sweeny grading
contract, which has been before the
committee several times, came up
again. Sweeny asks for 17s4 cents for
each additional cubic yard of filing he
is compelled to do on the Langford
| Park contract, over the estimate of 109,-
| ono wards made by the city engineer
Engineer Runlett estimates, that owing
| to shrnkage, $4,000 yards additional
| will be necessary. The vote on the
