NO FIGHT MATERIALIZED,
But the Curb and Gutter Question
Will Yet Cause One.


Will Yet Cause One.
The award of curb and gutter con-
tracts did not come up at the council
meeting yesterday because the commit
tee on paving had not yet secured the
city attorneys opinion on legal point.
The question is whether natural stone
curb and gutter can be laid when
council resolution prescribes that arti-
fetal stone be used, and when
the special assessments have been
made for artificial stone work.
That resolution was adopted when it
was supposed that natural stone curD
and gutter could not be laid for the
same price as could the artificial prod
uct, Moreover, the artificial product
was supposed to be just as durable, or
nearly so. All that is changed now.
Ring & Tobin have offered to lay curb
and gutter of Kettle river sandstone Tor
the same price that has been paid for
the artificial stone. Then. too. COM
plants have been made that the arti-
fetal substance has not proved durable.
But another matter figures in this
question. The manufacturers OF Park
er'S combined curb and gutter, pro-
tected by patent, have been enjoying
a monopoly of this sort of work. Some
members of the city council are inter-
ested in this company and are deter
mined to lose none of the profits. They
will fight the natural stone people. 1t
was expected that the battle would be
begun yesterday. Now, however, it
will probably come up in the next cOun-
Gil meeting, and lively time will result.
Should the city attorney hold that the
city must, under the terms of the afore-
mentioned resolution, continue to use
the artificial stone. the friends of natu-
raj stone will undertake to abrogate
that resolution. They may not be able
to prevent the use of artificial stone III
next years paving, but they will open
the way for the natural stone there
after.

POLICE APPOINTMENTS.
A Few May Now Be Made to Fill
Vacancies,

The Republican papers have again
been remodelling Mayor Winston's
police. N. w. King has been appointed
as detective, Mike Hoy has been dis
posed OF by being made deputy sheriff,
and dozen other police appointments
have been decided upon. SO say the
Republican papers. This is what Mayor
Winston says:
''There is not word of truth in those
stories. l have made no appointments
yet, and shall make none until vacan-
cies occur. Moreover. the law limits
the number of employees of the police
department to 225. At present there
are 226 employees. If the rule excepting
janitors and clerks from this list is
adopted by the council, then it will
leave margin when vacancies occur"
The resolution was adopted by the
council and few places can now be
filled by appointment. But the ap-
pointments have not yet been made.
All the old employees of the department.,
including the appointments recently
made, such as Supt. Henderson, Sur
geon Gibson and Clerk Holbrook, have
been reappointed and confirmed by the
council. When the mayor gets ready
to make others, he will take the public
into his confidence, and not before. =

asked Mr.. Hart.
"He thought he was," answered He'll
perm, with laugh.
The witness stated that it would be
necessary for him to explain the mode
OF bookkeeping in use at the mill, and
went into detailed description of what
he termed the most slack system he had
ever seen in tusipess house; He stated
that on Sept. 15, 1889, the first time he
had made trial balance, the cash book
had shown balance of 1854 "a, when
the actual cash on hand was but S67.22.
He complained of this, and they found
vouchers in the shape of slips for part
Of the sum. He stated that whenever
one of the people at the Office wished to
overdraw his account, he would go
directly to the cash drawer in the
safe and take what he pleased, putting
in a slip for the amount. He had
spoken Of this slack manner of running
things to Mr.. Zcidler, who had told him
that it was albright. and that when he
found such slips he should charge the
amounts to the parties on the day book,
He then went on and gave dates on
which Zeidler had drawn different
amounts In that way, and he turned 10
the charges on the cash book. After a
little further testimony in regard to the
books, the case was adjourned until
9 o'clock this morning, to give the
attorneys an opportunity to again ex-
anime the accounts.

MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Democrats in the city council are
doing their best to further the just de-
mands of workingmen for an eight
hour day. They have introduced the
proper resolution in the city council
and have prevented the immediate
slaughter that had been prepared for it
by the Republican majority. The
question has gone back to the commit
tee. Now. if the laboring men of Min
neapois appreciate this effort in their
behalf, they should take some action
toward putting their wishes in this mat
ter before the council. They have been
accused by Republican aldermen of be-
ing opposed to all eight-hOur day.
The Northwestern Elevator company
yesterday received the following infor-
nation about the murder of its agent.
James 7. Flett, at Arthur. N. D.. from
their travelling pernt9ndent, William
Craig:
Flett probably murdered during the late
Part Of the afternoon; shot in The back OF
the head: his gold watch and money taken,
except a small amount in Office drawer.
Later:
Corner and sherif's fees SlO1.7O. Will you
pay them: Coroner III charge of the premises
until settled
The Northwestern Elevator company
says it has some money for tine poor
woman and children, and some to hunt
the murderer but none for the coroner
on such a demand. Dakota must have
some queer laws which allow a coroner
or sheriff 10 collect fees for inveSti-
eating the cause of murder. 1t is
matter of some little curiosity on the
part of poor Flett'S friends as to
whether the Warm-hearted Dakota Of
fetal will try to hold his BODY as Sc
curity for non-payment of their fees.
The aldermen were in their seats for
several minutes yesterday afternoon,
the clerk was behind his desk, the pres
ident's gavel was poised in the air, yet
the meeung did not begin. Why the
pause? For what were they waiting?
Spectacles looked inquiringly at one
another. Still the presidents gayel fell
not. The pause was growing intense.
Finally the elevator was heard tOStOp
with a Jerk, and John Go0dnoW'S fur
lined Ovcrcoat appeared in tie hall.
The gavel fell, the clerk began to read,
land the world went very well then"
Babb's Ice company charges up
twelve and half tons Of ice against the

mayor.

of eloquence from Jim Bradish yester-
dar forgot that jim is believer in the
potency of the caucus.

CONNECTICUT Granite.

At the meeting of the trades and labor
assembly in Labor Temple last night,
the most important matter discussed
was a resolution in regard to the en-
ployment of convict labor. The resou-
ton advocates the Introduction of a bill
in the state legislature prohibiting the
use of granite or any kind of stone cut
by convict labor. A large number of
c0nvicts in the state reformatory are
now employed In cutting stone. The
resolution aims to stop all such work.
1t was referred to the committee on leg
isaton. The old trouble between the
assembly and the Minneapolis Baking
company was referred back to the COM
mittee. Several st. Paul labor men
were present.

Defective Plumbing the Cause.

According to the reports of the
medical inspectors of the health de-
partment typhoid fever has increased
to an alarming extent during January
and February, something unusual in
the winter. From the statistics already
in the hands of the health department
it is thought defective plumbing will
account for most of the cases. The dis
ease is found chiefly in buildings where
the plumbing is eight or ten years old,
and, consequently, more or less de.

Peter Hellgren, who shot Christina
Peterson Wednesday night because she
refused to marry him, has not been
caught yet. The police are unable to
find him. The only trace of him is a
letter written to the brother of Chris

Swedish vernacular. 1t recites the
futility of any search for the writer.
He says that before the letter shall have
reached its destination he will have
gone toa land where the sun never
rises and the moon never shines. The
police were figuring yesterday afternoon
on whether Peter meant by that the
grave or a sewer tunnel

he couldn't collect it, he went to board
with them. After partaking of their
hospitality for some time he decided not
to pay them in order to balance &C

to be violent and III the last throes of
insanity. They were impressed as he
had intended they should be, but had
gone him one better, and brought him
down for the examination. The hoax
was first-class, but Chris barely missed
getting in warm place.

Switching Charges.

DUBUQUE, To-, Feb. 13.-Judge Shiras
of the United States circuit court has
rendered decision in which he holds
that the state, not the United
States, courts have jurisdiction of
cases growing out of switching
charges fixed by the state railroad COM
missioners. The case decided grew out
of a refusal on the part of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad COM
pany to switch cars from other lines to
the Fengler lime kilns at the price fixed
by the railroad commission. This
sends the case back to the state court,
which decided against the railroad com
pany.
