Mrs. Celie Eddie, the Salvation Army
woman who has distinguished herself
by work in the slums of Chicago, says
she didn't come to Minneapolis to do
anything of that sort. 1t is too bad she
didn't. She could find such work to do
ever in this city of churches. The pO-
lice stumbled upon a case yesterday
that shows how far down the scale
human beings can come.
Some people living in the vicinity OF
Seventh avenue south and Washington
told the officers that there was case on
the third floor that needed investigat-
ing. They went up to see. In room
over 703l5 Washington avenue south
they found woman and five chlldr en-
no, she was not woman either, nor
were the little creatures mu Oh like
children. The mother had been fairly
endowed with good looks once. Squalor,
dissipation, and misery had Obliterated
every trace. She could not have
been above twenty-five years OF age.
Yet she seemed as Indifferent
to her surroundings or the veriest crone
from whom children flee. She, extend
ed at full length upon a dirty couch,
looking out from bleared eyes IN a half
intoxicated manner. accentuated the
Indebtedness of the surroundings. And
the children. The oldest was about
eight; the youngest barely old enough
to walk. Children of misery was writ
ten in their pinched faces, on the dirty
garments, IN the wild look of the eyes.
Where was the father of these chill
dren. the husband of the woman? No
one knew. The woman said she didn't
know; the children didn't seem to care.
All that could be learned was that he
was plumber, ana Secretary Holt, OF
the associated charities, Will do what
he can for the little ones.

MINNEAPOLIS.
EXPOSITION NOTES.

The exposition managementis willing
to pay liberal reward for the return
of the immense python which escaped
from the building Thursday night while
they were unpacking the box in which
it was shipped to Manager Brackett
from South America. But few eXpeeta-
tons are entertained, however, tnat IL
will be captured, because OF Its I'M
mense size and ferocity.
Manager Bracket states that the eX-
libits by the local merchants TINS year
will be much more extensive than ever
before. The requests for space from
the business men of Minneapolis nave
been more numerous than III any pre-
ViouS years, and they are putting more
money into the plan OF showing theIr
goods than they have done at any OF the
expoSitiOnS III the past.
Boxes of choice curiOs and cosby
paintings are arriving at the exposition
building every day. Art Director smith
still refuses to let the public know what
he is preparing for their Inspection ana
insists that the surprise which he has IN
store for all lovers of art will more than
recompense them for the long wait
which they will be compelled to submit
to before the day of the opening.
The stalwart and energetic Col. Gore,
whose tall and commanding figure IS as
familiar around the exposition building
as the tower itself, has returned to the
city after long and dangerous tour or
exploration throughout the southern
portion of the state. The colonel mas
used several barrels of paste ana many
tons of pictured paper III letting tne
npOple know what the attractions OF the

SALTWATER NEWS.
Events of a Day in the City on
the ST. CrOix.

Events OF q LAY In Tic CIey OH
the ST. Croix.
Several new lumber barges are being
built at the South Saltwater dock yards
for j. E. Joy & Co., of st. Louis. who,
little more than a year ago lnaugurated
the plan of transporting lumber from
this city to st. Louis in barges. The
barges now under construction are 145
feet long by "a feet wide, and will hold
a large amount of lumber. During the
coming winter twelve more barges Will
be built, and the new industry promises
to be more extensive. Mr.. Jonas Batch
elder, the superintendent OF the yards,
stated yesterday to GLOBE representa-
tive, that from all indications he in
ferred that stock company would be
organized next year, and that large
amount of lumber now RATED would
be shipped in barges. The object
in having such large supply of bargeS
he says, is so that while one fleet OF
barges is in transit to st. Louis the
other fleet can be loaded here. Nine
barges were recently shipped to st.
Louis containing between 100000 and
100000 feet of lumber. Although
barge shipping is great deal more eX-
pensive than rafting, it has proved
success. One advantage derived from
this mode of shipping is that when the
lumber arrives at its destination 1t is
dry and fit to be placed on the market
Immediately.
A prominent lumberman in this city
stated yesterday that lOggers doing BUS
mess on the St. CrOiX had many advant-
ages over loggels doing business III
other streams. One being the fact that
although the water is extremely low,
Ion, Ia
controlling the water in a succession OF
dams along the st. CroiX. enabled the
boom to run with the present stage of
water, and between 100000 and 2,000,-
600 feet of logs are being turned out
daily. This was only made possible by
the building of the st. CrolX, the Ne
vers and Crotty dams. Never before
has the boom been enabled to run with
SO low stage of water.
j. S. Bassett, who has been promi-
nently identified with the electric street
railway in this city since May 80, 1889
and during the past year and half has
been superintendent, severed his con-
nection with the company yesterday.
Mr.. Bassett has done much toward i'm
proving the street car service in this
city, and has made large number OF
friends. He stated yesterday that he
had as yet no plans Tor the future. he
will be succeeded as superintendent by
w. NJ. Hewitt.
The heat yesterday was ahead of any
thing so far this season. the thermome-
ter registering 9S deg in the shade at
D. m. On the sunny side OF Main street,
although where the SUMS rays could not
strike, one thermometer registered los

A QUEER PROCEEDING.
A Peculiar Phase in the History of
Thirteenth Street.

The council committee on roads ard
bridges met yesterday afternoon and
received protest from residents OF
Thirteenth street west of NicOllet ave-
nue. to the condemnation of certain
property which upon investigation I'M
earths very queer proceeding of sew
eral years ago. The facts in the case
are as follows:
In August 1889, Aid. Cole introduced q
resolution Yacating triangular piece OF
ground on the north side of Thirteenth
street, west of NicOllet avenue, almost
block, where there is a turn in the street.
The council records show it was referred to
the aldermen of the ward, but at the next
meeting ii was reported upon favorably by
Aid Cole, Parry and Lowell, and not the
ward aldermen. The resolution passed the
council and in October following Mr.. Cole
introduced an amendment to the resolution,
providing Tor vacating, also. strip twenty
feet wide. on the opposite side OF Thirteenth
street, fronting the block owned by A. nj.
Reed. This amendment was passed.
This practically gave Mr.Reed twenty
feet right out of the street and left
twenty-toOt jog at this point. The
trouble, however, was not noticed until
a few days ago, when wOrkmen set
about laying the curb and gutter. Then
it was found that the curb line reached
to the middle of the sidewalks opposite
Mr. Reeds property. and the owners
along this line put in protest to having
their property trimmed off to make up
for the twenty feet presented by
the council to Mr.. Reed. MeSSrS. Hal
and Louis Watson appeared in behalf
of the protest. Although this matter
has never been before the council, and
has therefore formally been placed in
the hands of the committee the case was
heard yesterday that the committee may
render an Immediate report on Wednes
day night, when the question is thus
referred. 1t was decided to recommend
that the 20-foot strip given to Reed be
condemned and taken back by the city,
although it is believed that this will now
be expensive matter.

SOUTH DAKOTA TIN.
HI. SetOn-karr Says There Is Mill
ions in It,

CHICAGO, Aug. III. Seton-Karr,
member of the English house of parlia-
ment, and one of the directors of the
Harvey Peak Mining company. whose
interests are in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, is authority for the statement
that there are 100000 tons of tin ore,
averaging 215 per cent, in sight and on
the dumps at the mines at Hill City,
Oak. Speaking of the outlook, he said
to a reporter: ''Our mill will soon be
OH the ground. and soon after its cree
ton there, 500 tons Of the ore will be
crushed every day. The block tin
which the mill will turn out contains
rs per cent of pure metal. The persons
who have been talking about there not
being any tin at Hill City will soon dis
cover their error, for we shall soon be
producing pure tin. A large quantity of
it will be shipped to England, despite
the output of the Cornwall mines.
Large quantities of the block tin, as
well as the pure metal, will be shipped
across the country"

CITY LIGHTING.
Electric Companies Want to Block
Aid. Potter's Scheme.

Il
The Brush Electric Light company
is laying wires to get the contract for
street lighting at the expiration of the
present contract. and it is expected that
a very low bid will be submitted by that
company. Said one of its representa-
tiveS Yesterday:
at is true Minneapolis pays more for
her arc lamps than most cities in the
country pay, bat she made her contract
in 1887 for five years, while the cities
that have cheap lights now nave been
making their contracts for one or two
years, thus getting the advantage of
competition at frequent intervals. with
consequent lower prices. In 1887,
when Minneapolis made her contract,
$50 per lamp year was not high
price. When our contract expires in
1892 we can submit bid that will make
the city think seriously sbefore it even
discusses plan of its own. In most
cases where cities are represented as
owning their election plants, the facts
have never been told. There are ten
cities in the country that built and
equipped electric light plants; and, as
far as the United States is concerned,
nearly every one of these plants is now
in the hands of a stock company. The
cities built them. but found themselves
unable to operate them economically,
and so got rid of them as fast as they
could"

THE OTHER SIDE.
The Correction and Charities Bill
Differently Construed.


Differently Construed.
The lawyers of the city are not unani-
mously of the same opinion as Assistant
Attorney Simpson in regard to the in
tent of the charities and correction bill,
although they do all agree that the law
is loosely drawn and very much in
vOIved and that its meaning is at times
decidedly obscure. One prominent at
tOrney explains the provisions of the
bill as follows:
Flrst-It places under board Of five COM
misSiOners the charge, management and con-
troll of the charities of the city-the aims
houses, hospitals and warehouses.
Second-lt provides for a superintendent
of the Door, a city physician and superin-
tendent of the workhouse. and defines their
duty.
Third-It gives the board power Ito en-
ploy all help necessary in caring for the
poor, the maintenance and control of all
charities, hospitals and places of detention or
correction" and to fix the salaries of all en-
ployes not hereinbefore provided for, and to
make all rules and regulations necessary to
carry out the provisions and intentions of
of this act. 1t is worthy of note that many of
the salaries are fixed by the act. A maxi
mum rate is, however, specified.
Fourth-The city council is required in its
annual levy to provide a sum sufficient for
ployes which said board are authorized to APP
point and for all other proper expenses"
Fif.h-No present incumbent to be re-
moved except upon good and sufficient
cause
There can be no question, said he, but
that these provisions grant full and
complete control to the board. The
only question on this point arises in sec
ton which reads as follows:
He shall aDDOint an assistant matrOuS
nurses and all the otner help necessary in
discharging the duties of his Office and caring
for the city hospital and the sick under the
charge of the department, or discharge
the same. and shall report the same to the
board.
1t is claimed that under this clause
the city physician may hire and dis
charge his own help, but this does not
hold for the reason that these powers
have already been given to the board,
and, therefore. cannot be delegated to
the physician.

hackers QUEER WAYS.
The Big Failure May Reveal Sen
satiOnS.

New YORK, Aug. 7.-Counsel for Fl.
Myers & Bros. of Savannah, Ca, have
obtained from Judge O'Brien, of the
supreme court, injunctions against the
Merchants National bank. the Central
National bank, Abraham Backer and
his assignee, Benjamin f. Einstein.
The Merchants bank is enjoined from
diSpoSing of sixty bonds of the Savan
nah Il Atlantic Railway company and a
note of $4,000 of the Mucagee Real
Estate company, of Columbus, pledged
with the bank by Backer. The Central
National is restrained from dispoSlng of
1913 shares of the stock of the National
Bank of Savannah, also pledged by
Backer.
The cases in which injunctions were
granted to-day show strange conduct on
the part of Abraham Backer. who failed
for 100000, AMI gives currency TO the
rumOr that criminal proceedings may be
taken against him. 1t appears that IL.
Myers q Bros, of Savannah, were in
the habit of sending Backer notes to be
discounted. Sometimes they sent col
lateral and sometimes they did not.
They sent him notes aggregating less
than S72. 900, and sent the bonds, notes
and stocks worth 1000 mentioned i'll
this suit as collateral. Instead of using
the collateral he had the notes dis
counted ON the strength of the Myers
Bros credit. He informed them, it is
averred. that the collateral was pledged
for the discount. He, however, pledged
the collateral in his own account and
poeketed the proceeds. Myers. Bros.
must therefore pay their notes, and. in
order TO get back their collaterals, must
also pay the SUMS secured by Backer OH
them.
The same law firm represents v.
Henry Rothschild IL Co.. shirt manu-
facturers, whose claim is secured. They
are friends of Backer. however, and are
anxious to aid him. Lawyer Samuel
UnterIneyer said the action of Backer
in the Myers suits was indictable for
grand larceny, but that no criminal
proceeding are contemplated at present.

ODELL's INVENTION.
He Has Built a New Mail Box
That Seems to Have Good Points.

K. r. Odell, the fat United States
commissioner, is now starring himself
as an inventor. He has built and ap-
piled for patent on mail box. he
believes that it is good thing. He
says that Postmaster Hale and eX-Post-
master Larraway have both told him it's
good thing. Odell will try to have the
United States government adopt it. 1t
was designed especially for use on the
interurban mail cars. but can be used
anywhere.
The box is of peculiar shape. @ The
end looks like half of shield divided
perpendicularly On the strength OF
this Odell hopes to work up a boom for
his invention OIL the patriotic score. He
would have three sides of the box
painted red, white and blue, respec-
lively, and the third, or shield-like end,
covered with red, white and blue
stripes to look like the national coat OF
arms. One motion unlocks it and raises
the top. That opens the bottom and
the mail within drops into the sack held
underneath. At present good deal OF
time is wasted in gathering mail from
the boxes on the interurban cars. Odell
claims that if his box were used the
mail matter could be removed from the
boxes on the cars without the loss OF
any aDDreciable time

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
The SubOrdinatiOn of the Justice
Court to Be Tested.

An importadt law point will be ar
gued before Judge Hooker in the dis
trict court this morning. 1t involves
the right of the district court to compel
the abandonment of proceedings begun
in a justice court and the transfer of
the action to the district court. 1t
comes up on the petition of L. S. Re
Were for an order restraining E. T..
Moore and others from disposing of GER
tain property. This is the case that
caused the little setto between c. E
Brame and Z. E. REVERE. Brame, act
ing for other parties. seized some of Re
viere's household goods on chattel
mortgage. The writ of execution was
issued from a justice court. There is
no law under which the property can
be reDlevined. So REVERE will lose his
property unless the district court CAN
find way to stop proceedings. Re
Were never knew Moore held a mort
gage on the property until it was fore
closed. The mortgage was to secure
Sl75 debt Oh which REVERE had paid
S120 in interest beside the regular 10 per
cent.
