The advance sale for George Ken
mans lecture at the Peoples church
tomorrow evening, is progressing very
favorably at Dyer's, and it is safe to
predict that this will be one of the most
successful events of the season. Mr..
KEENAN, is certainly one of the most dis
tinguished speakers of the present day,
and this particular lecture is one OF his
very greatest efforts. 1t is to be regret
ed that he is to appear in st. Paul but
once.
A real locomotive will be used in the
production-of Dan'l Sully'S new play,

A wise decision on the part of Cora
Tanner was this resolution: When she
selected to try her individual powers in
the stellar field she refrained from
choosing the customary one-part play,
but determined, and has consistently
pursued the course of surrounding her
self with the strongest dramatic charac
tiers, sustained by able artists. She will
give matinee to-day, and her toilettes
will be greatly admired by the fair sex.
Fanny Mayo's Burlesque company is

President Lowry Talks Before the
Senate Committee.
The committee on corporations of the
senate held an interesting meeting at
the capitol at noon yesterday. All the
members of the committee-Senators
Bell, Lommen, Dedon, Ayres and Ste
vens-were present, and as Senator
McMillan's street car bill was the sub
iect to be discussed the friends and
stockholders of the Twin City Street
Railway corporation were out in force.
Thomas Lowry, c. r. Chute, Henry
Brown, IL. E. Fletcher, Mai. Bassett,
Il. T. Nelson, eX-Gov. Pillsbury and X.
b. LangdOn represented Minneapolis,
while ID. r. Moves, of st. Paul, held up
that end of the team.
The talking was commenced by PreSl-
dent Lowry. vino entered at length
upon a description of the plans of his
company. He had long been interested
in the street railways of the two cities;
but he did not come before the commit
tee as a representative of that corpora
ton. but as a public-Spirited citizen,
who had made and carried out prom
ises no other ten men would have I'M
dertaken. Personally, he cared moth
ing about the passage of the bill, but
he opposed it because ii would emhar-
rass the negotiation of bonds If the
company did not carry out its promises
the next legislature could go for ii.
If let alone he promised that two years
hence the two cities would have the
best street car service in the world.
Senator Stevens was not certain the
company would carry out its promises,
but Mr.. Lowry assured him it would.
and declared that the street car COM
pany lost more by OVercrOWdlng the
cars than any one else.
d. Il. Moves, Gov. Pillsbury, II. E.
Fletcher, Henry Brown, Maj. Bassett
and b. f. Nelson thought that the pas
sage Of the bill Would.be disastrous for
the street railway and the people Of the
two cities.
Mr.. Lowry then took the floor and ex-
planned that the old cars were only
fourteen feet long, while the new ones
are eighteen and half In 1890 1872
cars were operated Ill st. Paul, while in
1891 the company hoped to operate 264.
Senator Mcmillan took the floor next
and declared his bill was not an inaugu-
ration of war on Mr.. Lowry. If not in
the interests of the public he would
Withdraw his bill. But he expressed
the opinion that in view of the valuable
franchises granted the company shonld
be willing to put on more cars at certain
times of the day.
In response to questions, Mr.. Lowry
stated that the ST. Paul line last year
lost $4,000, and the year previous
$4,000. The gross receipts in 1890 were
1855, 900 in st. Paul and 100000 in Min

matter for a few days

Escape From Destruction.

me BALDWIN SchOOl Has Narrow
Escape From Destruction.
The teachers and pupils in the Bald
win seminary, on Summit avenue, be-
tween Wabasha and st. Peter streets,
were thrown into connection at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning by the sud
den appearance of dense smoke through
out the building. Prof. Backus hurried
to the basement, where he discovered
the furnace room Ill flames,
and the teachers and pupils
lost no time in gathering up
movable articles and getting outside
the building. Had it not been for the
prompt and efficient work of the fire
department the seminary would have
been total wreck within half an hour
after the discovery of the fire. AS it
was, the damage by fire was confined to
the basement and the walls of the ven
tilating flues. Considerable damage.
however, was caused by smoke and
water throughout the building. The loss
on the building, estimated at 5000, is
fully covered by insurance. Prof.
Backus says the furniture and apparatus
were insured for 81, 800. and he thinks
the amount sufficient to cover his loss.
He expects to reopen his school to-day.
The young people who boarded at the
seminary were comfortably housed with

TALKED TO PREsBYTERIANs.
DIR. Hayes Urges the Advantages
of the Alliance.


At last evenings meeting of the Pres
byterian Alliance at the House of Hope
church there was much smaller at
tendance than would have been the case
had the weather been less severe.
Prior to the lecture by DR.. George W.
Hayes, of Cincinnati, the choir gave the
anthems ''Jubilate' and "Magnificat"
in splendid style. Dr.. Hayes address
was an address for PreSbyteriaDS to
Presbyterians. 1t treated of the value
of the alliance as bond of union be-
tween churches of that denomination,
and showed that the object of its organ
ization had been more than realized in
its work. There was that in the char
acter of the alliance, he said, which de-
veloped true beneYolence, and it was
only necessary to refer to the benevo-
lent societies that flourished under its
fostering TO demonstrate the value of
the work it was accomplishing. The
lecture throughout was interesting, and
delivered in style that held the atten-
ton of the audience to its conclusion.
