street line, at the ferry, to ride up to my
office. AS usual I walked to the forward
end of the Car, took a seat in the corner
with NY back to the driver, and, pulling
paper from my pocket, was soon deeply
engrossed in the news. Suddenly some
thing said to me, GO to the other end of

that the other passengers in the car
noticed them. Remember, was sitting
in the first place with my back to the

anything but my newspaper, and the
premonition, if 1 may so call it, could
not have come from any outside influ-

In answer to Il question as to what
similar warning or premonition of dan

forward and took seat next to the
stove in the forward part of the car,

train was runningat a high rate of speed,
and the lraught soon made the heater in
the car red hot, Suddenly there came

ABOUT DARK AFRICA.
MISSIONARY HORN TELLS ABOUT
HIS EXPLORATIONS.

Tho Climate Is Hcalthy-heny Phases Of
Physical Character Are seen-Fhe Peo-
plo Are Grown Up Babes-slave Trading
Is the Curse of the Continent.
There arrived in San Francisco from
Australia an English gentleman, who,
with his wife, has passed the major
portion of the last thirteen years in
Central Africa. His name is Capt. Z.
G. Horn, and under the auspices of the
London Missionary society he has been
employed building vessels on the great
Lake Tanganyika and travelling through
the dark continent.
Capt. Horn in a conversation with a
reporter said: "Reports on the land and
people of Africa are varied, but all who
have penetrated into the inmost recesses
are unanimous in their conclusions that
the slave trade is the chief obstruction to
civilization and commerce. Africa had,
until the past twenty years, the name of
being an arid, unhealthful country, be-
cause outside of given distance little
was known of the land. While it is
true that great tracts Of country are
barren and no water exists, still by ex-
ploitation it has been proved that
abundant supplies Of water can be OBJ
tained which will make the country bios
som into a perfect garden of flowers.
Sin the most arid part l ever visited ,
Ugpgo-the people dig wells and find
water, which is carefully stored for a
time of drought. Perhaps no tropical
country has a more healthful climate
than Central Africa. In the interior the
land rises to high elevation. The
many deaths and sickness among Euro
peans are caused MORE by the conditions
of life, absence of accustomed food and
good doctors and nurses than from eli
matte causes

ROAST FOR JOHNSON.
Call for the appointment OF a
Practical Building Inspector.

ErdCltCdl buliulnS Inspector.
AT last nights meeting of the trades
and labor assembly. Messrs. ID. Bar
nard, painters union; Oscar Berger,
bricklayers' union; J. &. StehIman, cor
nicewOrkerS' union; E. NJ Stevenson,
carpenters union, aud James Clancy,
plasterers' union, the special committee
appointed 10 inquire into the disaster at
the shepherd building, reported that it
should have been evident to any prac-
teal man acquainted with the action of
Intense heat on brick walls that the
partition walls, exposed on both sides
to the fire, were not only unsafe for
use i'll new building, but liable to
fall at any moment
The great blame, we are satisfied, rests
upon Building Inspector johnson. He
should have seen at a glance the evil
dent fact that there would be great dam
ger to human life in allowing the walls
to stand; ana, if undecided, could have
taken the counsel and advice of the ar
chitect. The fact that the owner of the
building desired to utilize the old walls,
and thereby save expense IN rebuilding,
should have had 10 weight with a public
official, whose duty it is to protect life.
In our Judgment, even the outside wall
above the second story cannot with
safety be used in new building or al
lowed TO stand. As a committee repre-
Senting the mechanics and laborers of
the city, and having their protection at
heart, we earnestly protest against such
foolish and reckless exposure of human
lie; nor do we believe that the criminal
careless that has led up to the accident
should go unrebuked.
The report was filed. and the follow
lng action by resolution taken by the
assembly:
Whereas, The trades and labor assembly
appointed a committee TO investigate the
causes OF the late accident of the Shepherd
building, and,
Whereas, The committee find in their in
veStlgatlon that Building Inspector Johnson
should, III his official capacity, have been
cognizant Of the fact that brick and mortar
subject to such extreme heat were i'll an un-
worthy condition. taking into consideration
the fact that the wall was of such height
and thickness that, without other support. il
was Liable 10 collapse at any moment: and.
whereas. Building Inspector Johnson has
thereby shown his lack of ability and fore
sight and utter incapacity to fulfill the duties
entrusted to his charge; therefore, be il
Resolved, That the trades and labor assem-
bly, request the mayor and city council that
hereafter practical man, one acquainted
with the building industries, be appointed in
his place, ard that all deputies be appointed
from practical members of the building
crafts.
Messrs. Ryan and Schlick were named
to fill vacancies as delegates to the
eight-hOur league.
y committee was appointed to inquire
into the adviSability of establishing a
writing agency and an employment
bureau.
The secretary was instructed to re-
quest the city authorities 10 see that the
families Of nen injured lii the Sheppard
building disaster are cared for. as some
have been reported in need.

The lease of the Merchants hotel for
period OF ten years to D. G. Miller. of
the Cook house, Rochester, and Ii. l..
Leland, of the Leland, of Sibley, To-,
will be signed today. Some weeks ago
Mr.. Miller made trip to this city and
talked the matter over with Col. Allen,
and practically settled the details. This
was first announced in the GLOBE of
the following day. The execution of
the papers was deferred until Mr..
Miller could have his partner present.
Last evening both arrived in the city,
and this morning they will meet Col.
Allen and sign the papers.
The terms OF the lease provide for re-
pairs and improvements to the amount
of about $4,000, Col. Allen agreeing to
make this expenditure for that purpose

Will ACID greatly 10 the appearance as
we'll as the accommodations of the

and the annual rental will be So, 900

by Col. i. Il. WelZ, the present proprie-
tor.
Messrs. Miller and Leland are both
on the sunny side OF fifty, and are ex-
perienced hotel men, both at present
managing the best and most popular
hotels III their respective towns. They
will devote themselves to managing the
business OF the Merchants. one taking
charge or the Office and the other doing
the purchasing and looking after the
back part of tine house. MI. Miller will
be the office man and Mr.. Leland will
take the other place. They are wide
awake and philosophical men, and
propose TO be in line in everything.
The Democratic national convention
they think must come 10 st. Paul, and
they are ready to do their share to-
wards securing it.
Il have been asked said Mr. Leland.
what We would give towards the guaranty
fund. Now, do not know what has been
done or what IS expected of US, but Will say
that we viii do our part. We believe that
That convention VIII be great card for the
city If IL comes here, and we want
the people of st. Paul to under
stand that we will do the right
thing. i do not see why The prospects of ST
Paul are not as good. if not better than any
other CITY. | understand Col. Richardson,
OF Iowa. has expressed his preference for
ST Paul. and. as l have The honor of being
personally acquainted with him shall write
and urge him TO continue in favor of ST.
Paul and do some work in addition.
The lease Of Col Nelz was for five
years. and expires on April first next.
Col. WelZ did not seek new lease for
the reason that he proposes to retire
from the hotel business with the eXpira-
ton of his present lease. He has not
yet decided what business he will en-
gage i'll, but it will be something en-
tirely different.

SUNDAY DOESN'T COUNT.
Judge Nelson on the Legality OF
the assignment Law.

Judge Nelson on the Legality OF
the Assignment Law.
In the case of John V. Farwell & Co.
against John Matheis and Theodore
Draz, as gdrnishees, pending in the
United States circuit court, Judge
Nelson has filed an opinion and ordered
the garniShee discharged. The decision
involves he validity of an act OF the
legislature of 1889 OH the point of its
being approved within the time re-
quired. Theodore DraZ is the assignee
of John MatheIs. Farwell Il Co. sought
to secure some funds in the hands of
Draz by garnishment and apply them TO
satisfying large claim against MatheS.
With this object in view the validity of
the assignment law of 1889 was at
tackled as being invalid. because,
as alleged, it had not received the ap
prOval of the governor within the re-
quired time. Judge Nelson, after an in
spection of the act and the journals of
the legislature, decides the law TO be
valid and properly approved in point of
time. The bill passed the senate Satur-
day, April 20. 1889. having previously
passed the house. The legislature ad-
journed the following Tuesday. The
bill was Endorsed April % by the gov
ernor as approved and filed with the
secretary of state April p, or two days
after the adjournment. The state con-
stitution provides that the governor may
approve, sign and file within three days
after adjournment any bill passed dur
ing the three last days of the session,
and the same shall become d law. The
plaintiffs claim that Sunday should be
named as one of the days of the session,
and that the bill passing the senate Sat
urday should not be taken as being
passed within the three days of the adj
journment. Judge Nelson says:
THE construction turns on the word 'ses-
sion.' sunday is non dies for work even in
a Legislature. If business is actually trans
acted on that day no record is kept of it as
being done on that Gay. The last three days
of the session means working days of actual
session. 1t appears from the journals OF
each branch that Saturday, April 20
was the seyenty-eighth day Of the session,
and the adjournment was mad on Tuesday
the eightielh day of the session. Sunday was
therefore. not a day of the session. In my
opinion, the act was duly passed and ap-
proved in time 10 become law

room at police headquarters. An order
has been issued that all inmates of the
tramp room shall be charged with va
grancy. and the result is most satisfac-
tory, for any tramp making a second
appearance is sure of thirty days lodg-
ing in the wOrkhouse. The old timers
who last winter made their appearance
night after night for ''rest and shelter
are now seen no more, and they doubt
less warm other knights of the road''

termined to keep out of the city all
