THE SOLDIERS HOME.
The Board Holds a Meeting and
TranSaCtS Business

The directors of the soldiers home
held their regular monthly meeting yes
terday. The greater portion of the time
was spent in the inspection of the build
ings and general discussion regarding
the best way of expanding the legislative
appropriation. A site was selected for
a cottage northeast of the present No. l
cottage, and it was suggested that por-
ton of the appropriation be used in pre-
pairing foundation for an administra-
ton building to be used for library and
other purposes, but no action was
taken. The site of the domestic cot
tage was not located, but will probably
be decided upon at the next meeting of
the board, TO be held on the 10th inst.
Bids for the erection of laundry plant
and steam boiler were opened, but 20
action was taken. The Enterprise Ma
chine company bid SLIT for the laundry
plant and A. A. Pond offered to erect
the boiler and put in the plant for
S2,303.50. These bids were referred to
the executive committee. Plans are
now being drawn for the proposed cot
tages and will be submitted at the next
meeting.

COMMITTEE WORK.
A Number of Council Committees
Do a Little EASY Work.

A few of the aldermen got together
before the ball game yesterday and, as
a result, small amount of committee
business was transacted. The commit
tee on printing, after carefully consid-
ering the matter, agreed to award the
city printing to the Times at So cents an
inch. The board of supervisors of the
poor recommended to the council that
that body authorize the advertising Tor
proper sites for city hospital. A num-
Der of unofficial tenders have been
made 10 the members of the committee,
but they are anxious that some detin-
lite action be taken.
The sewer committee ordered the lay
ing of sewer on Madison street north
east, between Third and Spring streets,
and recommended that the city engi-
neer advertise for rock for the Second
street tunnel. Chief Kunge, of
the fire department, asked that
sewer connections be made with
all the engine houses, but no action was
taken. Bids for hydraulic cement were
received as follows: Union Railway
Storage company, for Milwaukee ce-
ment, Sl.15 per barrel, Louisville ce-
ment, $l.33 per barrel; Twin City Lime
and Cement company, $1.17 per barrel
for Milwaukee, $1.30 for Louisville and
Sl.05 for MankatO cement; The North
western Lime company, S1.30 for Louis
vile and $1.0S for Mankato cement.
The committee on accounts of city
officers discussed the proposition of 9.
A. NimockS to check up the city's books.

HOLT DENIES.
He Has No Interest in Sending
Children to Owatonna.

George Holt, secretary of the associ-
ated of charities has been made wrath.by
the insinuation that he receives a fee
for every child he succeeds in having
committed to the Owatonna state public
school. This, it has been alleged, is the
reason why he is so active in having
children sent there. Secretary Holt
denies thus:
IL do not receive anything for my
work in that field. When the parents
do not take proper care of their children
L bring the matter before the proper
authorities, get the necessary orders
signed, and see the children on board
the train for Owatonna.
''In this city there are very many fam
lilies that would be far better off if
broken up. They live solely upon the
benevolence of the charitably inclined.
1t is impossible to induce them to do
any work. All they desire is simply to
get food in some way or other than by
working. 1t is self evident that such
parents are not fit to have the custody
of their innocent children, who, with
ordinary advantages might become
good citizens. Its absolutely necessary
that something be done in some of the
extreme cases Of restitution that l have

MINNEAPOLIS EVENTS
Police Authorities Preparing
to Make Some Startling
Revelations Soon.
First Meeting Of Court House
Commission Since Legis-
lative Adjournment.
Quite a Batch Of Business
Handled by the Library
Board.
Roger Vail Remembered by
His Friends--BuIlets in
a Saloon.

An evening paper startled the inhab-
itantS last evening by stating that the
mayor was about ready to make de-
ciSion on the charges preferred against
certain police officers implicated in the
Preston matter. 1t was also alleged
that certain detectives were jealous Of
the honor earned by Detectives King
and NJ. E. Doyle in ferreting out
the necessary evidence in the case.
So rank was this jealousy that 1T seri-
OuSly threatened the morale of the de-
partment. King and Doyle were said
TO be somewhat angry because some
other detective was seeking to steal
their thunder by demanding a share Of
the credit. The lutter portion is declared
untrue by King, Doyle and the other
officers, and the language used by them
would permit no one to doubt the posi-
tiveness of it. Instead of jealousy, all
has been harmony between them and
the other officers.
Chief Henderson was seen last night
relative to the statements of one {. E.
Brame, said to be attorney for Preston,
who was quoted as saying that there
would be an early decision. Chief Hen
deraon said that no decision had been
reached, and in reply to the question If
the mayor was investigating the matter,
he was non-cOmmittOl, very. When
decision was reached he said that it
would be made public, but at present he
had nothing to say about the matter.
{. Z. Brame made great deal of noise
when he stated point blanIl-at least
he is quoted sO-that North MInneap-
oils policemen projected robberies and
secured Preston and others to execute
them; places were robbed in this man
ner on Western avenue and intersecting
streets. He is also quoted as saying
that he knows Preston to be guilty of
some OF the offenses charged, but that
he is able to prove by reputable wit
nesses that he was inveigled into this
sort of business by an officer, who
promised him immunity and a profitable
division of the ''swag." The denoue-
ment, he promises, will be "a disgusting
surprise" In the meantime the public
is anXiously waiting the result of the in
Vestigation.

MINNETONKA ALONE.
Only Place in the County for Fish
ing-Game and Fish Law.

W. p. Andrus, who is the Minneap-
oils member of the fish and game COM
mission, has been looking up the new
game laws thoroughly. He says that
Minnetonka is the only water in Henne-
pin county from which fish can be taken
legally before June l. In regard to fish
and game law he added this:
II certainly think thefe ought to be
one law to cover the entire state as re-
CARDS fishing and shooting Different
cities have different laws; different
lakes have different times and the mat
ter is really so complicated when man
goes fishing he ought to take in tow
with him surveyor, timekeeper. a
lawyer and whole list of rules
and regulations. 1t must be altered
and we hope to keep the ball
rolling until something is done.
The bill just passed allows the commits
sion to appoint game warden and four
deputies, also one deputy in each coun-
ty if necessary. We intend TO enforce
the laws and stop all this spearing and
Illegal fishing.
'As regards shooting. the bill has also
altered some dates. For instance, the
shooting of prairie chickens will com
mence Sept. l, instead of August 20, and
the shooting of ducks will be from Aug.
20 to April %, inclusive. No one gun 10
exceed twenty-five birds in one day."

COURT HOUSE COMMISSION.
Bonds Ordered Issued-Reports
Received and Bills Paid.


The court house commission held its
first meeting since the adjournment OF
the state legislature. The uncertainty
of what would become of them had
caused them to hibernate for season.
but now the board is on deck again, as
lively as ever. A quorum was
slow in arriving, but finally one
put in an appearance. Lars Svenson,
the treasurer, reported balance on
t9l, 663.29 were ordered paid. There
were two or three bills of some moment,
but no comment was made upon their
magnitude. These were from Haglin &
Morse, who want SS,214.66; James Bax-
ter Il Co., who will be satisfied with
sl3,35240, and one from the Pioneer
Fuel company amounting to IS. $50. IS.
Then Secretary Preston opened the
bids for furnishing the contemplated
iron work for the third, fourth and fifth
stories of the county half of the build
ing. The bids were as follows:
The Gillette Herzog Mfg. Co. S., 975 90
Crown Iron Works ....... 9452 90
81. Iaul Foundry Co. ................ 9,sS1 90
Mcneil Ferguson .................. S,973 rs
Long q Rees, the architects, modestly
requested an advance of $4,000 on ac-
count of work done, but while the claim
was considered just. it was referred to
the finance committee and Commits
sioner Oswald.
Then the reporters were given to I'M
derstand that their room would be more
acceptable than their company, and
they politely excused themselves. Dur
Ing this session John Swift moved that
the original plans of the Fifth street
entrance be substituted for the modified
plan. This would make an increase of
about $4,000. When there was so much
noise about the extravaganza of the
board last winter it was decided to
change the plans and save some money
by making the Fifth street entrance less
ornamental. For these reasons it was
decided to have plain entrance
in place of an ornamental one.
Lang IL KEGS were appealed to, and
they stated that it would require anoth-
er change in the plans to make the en-
trance correspond with Commissioner
SWifts motion, and they thought that
the public would be fairly well satisfied
with the present plan. No action was
therefore taken.
Before adjournment the finance COM
mlttee was directed to sell 100 of the
city series of bonds. These bonds are
to bear interest at the rate of per
cent, and run for thirty years from
Jan. ], 1891.

MONTHLY BUSINESS.
Considerable Work Done by the
Public Library Board

The library board met in regular
monthly session yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock. There were present: A. T..
AnkenY,J. b. Atwater, President Cyrus
Northrop, j. G. Moore and Swan Oftdal.
Mr.. Ankeny was appointed president
pro TEN.
The first business to come before the
board was the report of the library COM
mlttee. 1t was recommended that the
Librarian be authorized to purchase a
platform truck, push cart and case
for wall maps. 1t was also decided that
the board do not send delegate this
year TO the library convention at San
francisco, but that the librarian go
East instead upon book trip. The sal
airy of the assistant librarian in charge
OF the South Minneapolis library was
increased to $50 per month.
The pay roll and bills aggregating
S3,3O7.39 were ordered paid by the
board.
On motion of Prof. Moore, it was re-
solved that the building committee be
authorized TO take any measure neces-
Sary to reduce The cost of electric light
ing, and, If necessary, to dispense with
it entirely.
An important communication was re-
cclFtu from harvard college, relative TO
holding examinations in this city. On
motion of President Northrop, seconded
by Mr.. Atwater, it was decided 10 con-
cede the privilege of holding the en-
trance examinations at the library
building on June %, %, 26 and q.
The matter of the several delinquent
subscribers to the building fund also
came before the board, and Secretary
Putnam was instructed to correspond
with the five delinquents. and, if posi-
bic, close up the entire list.
A short time ago a friendly suit was
entered by the board against the city
treasurer for the return of library
money paid for interest on lands. The
amount involved is over $4,000, and
special committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Messrs. Ankeny and AtWater,
to carry on the suit. The committee
reported yesterday that the matter came
up before Judge Lochren last Wednes-
day and that arguments had been sub
miIted and the case taken under advise
ment. The committee was still kept in
force. There being no further order,
the meeting adjourned.

UNWELCOME NEIGHBORS.

L. IL

A Number of East Siders Have
Some of This Description.
A short distance from the Century
Piano company's factory, near the Ex-
position building, reside number of
persons, principally of the female sex,
who make commodity of virtue. For
many years have the painted sirens held
forth almost under the shadow of a
church spire and nothing has been said
or done about the matter. The police
have occasionally been seized with
SpaSmS of virtue and have pulled the
houses, but they still flourish. Now a
new enemy has appeared Oh the scene.
1t is in the person of the Century Piano
company. The piano factory is but if-
teen feet distant from this maison de
joie. and the officials of the company
say it is somewhat annoying when. III
showing goods o.would-be purchasers,
there is presented before them the scene
OF persons OF both sexes disporting
themselves III the garb of nature. AL
though the factory was established long
after the hotel had acquired a good
business, the officials want this latter
industry removed far away from their
wareroom windows. The end is not
yet, out 'ere long something may drop
unless the curtains are drawn.
Another almost parallel case exists
on the other side of Central avenue. 1t
does not really exist as yet, but there is
an individual who fears it will. He re-
sides on a street not far from the river
and objects to the erection of fine
brown-stone-front apartment house
next to his domicile. No inkling has
been given as to the identity of the pos
sible tenants. but he nevertheless sus-
poets that they will not be what they
should. What course to take he knows
not, and, as a solution to the problem,
he has called at the building Inspectors
office to see what can be done. An ex-
alderman is the contractor who is erect
ing the building.

DEADLY TROLLEY.
1t Causes the Occupants OF a Car
q Scare.

The street car trolley wires seemed to
be having lots of fun all by themselves
yesterday. Yesterday morning, as one
of the tightening eaters, sometimes
called electric cars. was speeding down
NicOllet avenue, dragging a trailer be-
hind it, the trolley wire became de-
tached from the poles between Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth streets,
and down it came on to the roofs of the
cars. The driver beat hasty retreat
into the car and succeeded in stopping
the car only after it had dragged the
Kissing death-dealing wire about block
No one was injured, but the passengers
were badly frightened crowd and lost
no time in emptying the two cars.
Last evening the wire at Hennepin
avenue and Twelfth street performed
like freak. but here too there was fort
unately no one in the immediate vicin-
ity when it fell.

ROGER VAIL GAINED.
The Well Known Local Writer
Handsomely Remembered.


Roger Vail. the valiant opponent of
Rev. Mr.. Burgess, was caned last night
by Matt Walsh and coterie of promi-
nent Irish-American citizens. He was
not caned in the usual acceptation of
the term, but was rather presented
with testimonial in the shape
of gOld-headed cane and purse
well supplied with ducats by these gen
tlemen. MIR. Vail was invited to meet a
party of friends at Window hall. and
there Mr.. Walsh IN a pleasing speech
presented him with the substantial tes-
timonial of the good feeling and esteem
of his friends. Mr.. Vail made happy
response and thanked the gentlemen
for the token. Then he outlined the
purposes of his trip to Ireland. 1t was,
he said. to see the country as it
would appear to an American,
for such lie was and would
be even in his native land. Mr. Vail
will leave to-day in company with
Bishop McGolrick, and it is possible
that they may return together. During
his travels the public will be kept aware
of his whereabouts, and his reputation
as writer is sufficient to guarantee
that whatever he writes about his OBJ
servations will be worthy of a careful
perUSal.

William Warwick Tries to Shoot

Court.
The municipal court room yesterday
afternoon had the appearance of
thunder cloud. The room is ordinarily
dingy, but this time it seemed still more
gloomy, owing to the presence of
score or so of citizens of African descent
who were present as witnesses or spec
tators. The occasion was that of the
examination. of William Warfeld, a
sleeping car porter, who emptied his
revolver in Hamilton & Tyler's saloon,

Preacher and Police.

Last Friday Rev. T. F. Allen. who
made such sweeping denunciation of
municipal immortality last Sunday, Wis
tied the central police station to obtain
data. From remarks made during the
delivery OF his addre SIS, the officers think
that the liquidation of the charges were
obtained at the time of his conversation
with them. They say that they never
told him anything that would lead him
to make such charges. If he got his in
formation elsewhere they have nothing
to say.
