The joint SESSION
OF the Aldermanic Bodies Ar
ranged for Tomorrow
Evening,
When Rules Will Be Adopted
and a Comptroller
Chosen.
MulVehill'S West Side Livery
Barn Wiped Out by
Fire.
Supt. Porter Flooding the
City With Very Imperti-
nent Questions.


Tomorrow night the two branches of
the council will meet in joint session,
the body of aldermen concurring to
elect city comptroller, and also to pass
joint rules. This was decided upon by
the assembly at the meeting last night
after quite a volume of explanations
and declarations. The board of CALDER
men wanted to meet this evening, but
it proved incOnvenient to both Presi-
dent Cullen, of that body, and Presi-
dent Murray, of the assembly. An at
tempt was made, therefore, to fix the
hour of the session sat 3 O'clock this
afternoon, but the debate finally result
ed in the compromise tor tomorrow
night.
The assembly adopted the code of
rules, already published in these col
umnS, which are to govern its delibera-
tons i'll the future. When the rule for
bidding whispering or talking during
the reading of paper was recited by
the city clerk. ASSemblyman McCafferty
explained that it was departure per-
maps from strict parliamentary man.
dates, yet he considered it advisable.
The rule providing for a page was
stricken out upon the motion of AS
semblyman Minea, and the duty that
nad Deen assigned that emplOye Will de-
VolVe upon the sergeant-at-armS. An
attempt that proved futile was made to
so amend the rules, first, so that it
would require but two-thirdS vote to
suspend rules at any meeting and then
so that it would require a unanimous
vote. 1t was finally left intact-reauir-
ing three-fourthS vote. Against the
first proposition Assemblyman McCaf-
ferty urged that when a special meet
ing is called, it is for special and des-
lgnated purpose. An assemblymaD who
feels no interest in the matters to be
considered may remain away, only to
learn afterwards that the rules had
been suspended by two-thirdS vote
and matters of the utmost Importance to
him had passed.
The matter of opening, widening and
extending Eighth street from Wabasha
TO Grove street WAS ordered. and the
bond of 2. II. Kelly, in the sum of
$4,000, filed because of his appoint
ment to the board of water commls-
Sioners, was approved.
Warrants were ordered drawn for
the respective sums of SlO,750 and
S9,250 i'll favor of the owners of the
property taken in the widening of
Sixth street between Rosabel and
Broadway streets.
The final order OF the council for paw
ing Bedford street from Collins street
to PAYNE avenue, and Payne avenue
from Decatur street to Cook street, was
so amended as to eliminate the paving
on Bedford and Decatur streets.
The following business transacted by
the board of aldermen was concurred in:
The passage of the pay roll of the fire
department employees.
lnstructing the board of public works
to discontinue splinkling Greenbriar
avenue from Sims street to Maryland
avenue.
The clerk was instructed to cast the
ballot OF the board in favor of Henry
Calvin as sergeant-at-arms. and the
matter of compensation was referred to
the corporation attorney,

PORTER is A LITTLE FRESH
He Floods the City With Questions
No One Will Answer.

He Floods the City With Questions
No One Will Answer.
Gen. Porter has recently added large
bulk to the mail matter shipped to the
st. Paul office. This increase is caused
by his sending out inquiries as to mort
cages on real estate, and embraces list
of about a dozen questions as to the
amount of incumbrance, why con-
tracted, and to what use the money Dor
rowed is applied. Why the exact
condition was not reported at the time
the census was taken, etc. IncloSed is
also red-lettered circular stating that
each question must be correctly an
swered under penalty of 500 fine. The
amount of this edition of the superin-
tendent of the census sent to the ST.
Paul Office addressed to individuals
would load wagon, as it comprises
twelve mail pouches. 1t was learned
yesterday that four or five pouches
of these letters are vet in
the postofflce here uncalled for.
and for lack of proper address
will probably never be delivered. Ii
has come to light that many of the let
tiers are directed to persons who don't
own real estate. Many of those who re-
ceived the letters have determined to
ignore the threatened fine and have re-
fused to answer the letter, and from
the way they comment on the mat
ter, they seem to indicate that they be-
lieye 1t is nobody's business why they
contracted their debts. One gentleman,
who, by the way, is a government en-
ploye, is rather emphatic in this view.
Why said he yesterday. ''the city is
literally flooded with these letters, and
| don't see why the people should be
asked TO go into the details of their pri-
yate concerns, as asked by Supt.
Porter.n

FACING THE MUSIC.
Serious and Simple Cases Before
the Police Court.

Serious and Simple Cases Before
the Police Court.
The municipal court yesterday pres
ented the usual list of offenders, though
there were two cases of more than
ordinary interest. W. Griffen, the pro-.
prietor of the Occidental hotel on East
Seventh street, was brought up on
charge of grand larceny. He was de-
Tended by Hitler II. Horton. 1t appears
that soldier named Gibbons claims to
have lost money while sleeping off a
spree at the hotel. Griffin laughs at the
charge.
The cases of William and James
Glynn, who brutally assaulted Officer
Alberg in saloon last Sunday, were
stubbornly contested, but eventually
they were fined $50 each, the amounts
being paid.
w. q. Lee was charged with grand
larceny, inasmuch as he took two sew
ing machines from the White Sewing
Machine company and never accounted
for them. Attorney McCafferty de-
manded jury trial, and the case went
over until Friday, bail being fixed at
500. A state case was also made
against Lee. which will be heard Satur-
day.. bail i'll the sum of $500 being
hXed for his appearance on that day.
Ben Baty, for assaulting his wife, was
ordered to keep the peace. James Aus
tin, colored boy charged with stealing
watch, was remanded until to-day.

Called Down.

The individual who issues transfer
tickets, at the corner of Seventh and
Wabasha streets, has an idea he can OBJ
struct the street as we'll as the side
walk. He was reminded that the street
was for vehicles, and notfor his especial
benefit, in very forcible manner last
evening. A young man on a bicycle,
passing the corner of Seventh and Wa
basha, signaled this agent to stand
aside and allow him to pass. This very
much swelied person informed the
young man on the bicycle that he bad
no right to the street; that he was the
only person who was supposed to be on
the street. A policeman acted as ref
cree III the matter. and informed the
ticket puncher that his place was on the
sidewalk, and not interfering with

THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE
A Letter from an Eminent Physician.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk Of indorsing
proprietary preparation, I have a few words
in favor of q new laxative principle But
first, how came to discover it. A patient
asked about taking joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla. AS sarsaparillas usually contain
mercury or iodides objected and asked for
the formula, which finding purely vegetable,
and SO mild as to be to my mind almost
inert, I consented. Imagine my astonish-
ment when perfect laxative action was re-
ported. It has two great points. First, being
purely vegetable, it is tunlike mercury not
cumulative in the system, being easily car.
ried oIby the digestive processes; and second,
1t is effective with less quantity of the
cathartic principle than has hitherto been
attainable. It in this respect ranks as q
discovery. and approaches the ideal, viz:
the least medicine consistent with the great
est good. 1t harmoniEes natural laxative
action and perfect safety, and should inter
est both the public and the profession.
