Board of Trade Edicts.

The board of trade yesterday passed
strong resolutions calling upon the
Hennepin delegation to oppose the bill
introduced in the legislature affecting
the liability of an employer to an en-
ploye. The board denounces the meas
ure as one that would prove most dis
astrous to every industry employing
help, "saye and except ordinary do
mestic and farm employment" 1t
would be fatal blow to all manufact-
uring and railroad industries. 1t is the
most offensive form of class legislation.
1t offers direct premium to shyster
and disreputable attorneys to incumber
the calendars of our courts with the
most odious form of litigation. In short,
the bill is in every respect Objectionable
and has not single redeeming feature.
J. B. Bassett presented copy of the
concurrent resolution that had been
prepared for presentation to the legis-
lature. opposing the passage of any bill
by congress allowing the building of a
boom in the Mississippi between ST..
Paul and ST. Louis, having special ref
erence to the bill now in congress, sup
posed to be in the interest of the
WeyerhauSer company.

A HEAVY LIEN CASE.
Judge Pond Has Tackled the Con-
dit Matter.

In spite of the fact that yesterday was
supposed to be devoted to celebration
of the anniversary of the birth of the
father of his country. Judge Pond was
on deck at the court house hearing the
consolidated lien cases against Al.
Condit ct al. The cases have been
waiting trial for some time and the
Judge desired to get them off the calen-
dar. The property in question is the
row of flats at the corner of Fifth ave-
nue. southeast and Tenth street built by
A. j. Condit IL Co. There are some
thirty claims against the real estate.
The suit is difficult one, as the
claims seem to be pretty well mixed.
and it will take quite while to
straighten them out. Judge Daniel
Fish represents $4,000 mortgage held
by A. j. DreXel. a wealthy Philadel-
phian, and he does not purpose to let
any of the litigants get in ahead of him
if he can prevent it, and so kept up a
constant fire of objections to the move
ments of the other attorneys, vino how
cred over the huge lien records like a
swarm of bees. The case will take sew
eral days in the hearing at the present
rate of PROGRESS.

DISSATISFIED HEIRS.
They Claim an Interest in e. M.
Wilson's Estate.


The heirs of the father of the late E..
M. Wilson are making an effort to bring
a claim against the estate of the son, but
if }. W. Lawrence, the former partner
of the great attorney and statesman, is
to be believed, they will have their labor
for their pains. The story dates back
well into the fifties, during the time
when Mr.. Wilson was in partnership
with Jackson Bell. The firm, 1t seems.
went on the rocks, and Mr.. Wilson was
the trustee. In settling up he placed
mortgage upon some valuable
real estate, which was subsequently
sold upon execution, he bidding in a
portion and R. j. Mendenhall the bal
ance. The property brought all it was
worth at the time, and then Mr.. Wilson
brought suit against Bell to recover
$751; $50, which he had expended in the
settlement.
The suit was decided against him in
the lower court, but he carried it up,
and had the decision reversed by the
supreme Judges. The death of his
father occurred before this litigation
and he was an executor. The heirs al
lowed him to invest their share through
the firm of Bell 81 Wilson, and they
claim that he had never made final
settlement at the time of his death.
The hearing of the case will throw more
light upon the subject if it ever does
get that far.

ADJUSTMENTS.

People jammed the sidewalk in front
of the Lyceum theater last evening long
after the performance commenced try
ing to obtain admission, but all the seats
had been sold quite early i'll the after
noon, and the management were obliged
to close the doors when the standing
room became crowded to somewhat
dangerous degree. The WilburS are as
popular as ever, and are, with the pres
ent big organization, better able to give
an eXcellet performance than ever be-
fore. Last night the stage Utterly
blaZed with bright costumes, pretty
girls and charming stage pictures.
When Miss Kerwin made her first APP
pearance she received an applause that
would cause Patti to feel proud. and
il continued for nearly three minutes.
The little prima donna is as bright and
sparkling as ever, and sang and
capered about with her old time
Vvacity. ALT Wheelan, a new
principal, is a valuable addition and
added much to the brightness of the
performance. Actors and audience
seemed to enjoy the performance hugely,
and when the dazzling Amazon march
came on the males in the front rows APP
plauded until their hands and faces got
red. For papular-priced comic opera
organization the Wilburs cannot be
beaten, and their present engagement
at the Lyceum promises to overshadoW
everything else for popularity for some
time to come i'll the amusement line.
Matinees will be given on Tuesdays,

Joan of Arc" as presented by Mar
garet Mather at the Grand opera house
last evening is one of the most elabor-
ately staged productions seen in Mime
apolis for some time, and the historical
play is given fairly satisfactory pro-
ducton. Miss Mather is not physically
adapted for an ideal personation of so
trying and imposing characterization,
but she certainly acquitted herself cred
itably, Her support is hardly strong
enough to carry out the play on the
ambitious scale that is attempted in the
way of scenic and coStuming effects,
and the symmetry Of many Of the heroic
scenes was greatly married. The piece
is given in five acts, and the action is
not at all times lively enough to make
the interest absorbing. The tableauX

F1Oneef IN Hennepln.
The Minneapolis department of the
Pioneer Press was served with papers
yesterday, in the action of lgnatius
}Donnelly against that publication. Cy
Wellington was asked why the action
was to be held in Hennepin county and
stated that in all probability the paper
would ask for struck jury and he had
no faith in the impartiality of such a
jury as that paper would get in st. Paul.
If the case was tried at Minneapolis, his
client would be more liable to have that
quality of justice which would best suit
himself. Attorneys are of the opinion
that the other side will not submit to
this state of things, and will make all
effort to have the suit come off in the

had been a moderate drinker. About

morgue, but none Of them know the
