MIR. Sayford Consents to Continue
His Meetings at the House of
Hope.
The attendance at the Sayford meet
ings at the House of Hope church last
evening was larger than any time, not
excluding Sunday morning at the regu-
lar service. The numbers at the Bible
reading were also about doubled. At
the session meeting after the evening
service it was unanimously decided to
urge Mr.. SayfOrd to continue next week.
He accepted upon condition that ali the
other churches of the city be cordially
invited to cooperate in the service.
The condition was hardly necessary,
as it was Immediately accepted.
A hearty invitation to every church in
the city will be given to-day to unite in
these meetings. Thus the work will
cease to be in name as well as in fact
one for the House of Hope, although
that congregation will play the host.
Announcement was made of the Con
fidental Talk" TO be delivered to men
only,at the Central Presbyterian church
next Sunday at $50 p. m. This talk
has been delivered in over 100 colleges
and has the endorsement of all the
presidents of those colleges as being the
strongest one in that line delivered by
any man in the country. The admis-
sion to this will be by ticket only, and
boys under twelve years old will not be
admitted.
Mr.. Sayford's address last night was
on ''Paul's Obedience to the Heavenly
Vision," and was listened to with close
attention. Mr.. and Mrs. DeWolf sang
a duet with great feeling and Mr.. De
Wolf closed with the beautiful SAFELY
and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling"
No meetings will be held to-day. The
usual services will be on Sunday beside

ciaI Meeting of the Council.
A special meeting of the common
council was held last evening for the
purpose of confirming certain pay rolls
in accordance with the new charter, ,and
also TO open bids submitted for the job
printing for the city. All the aldermen
were present, except Messrs. Copeland,

Aid. Cullen presented resolution
that the council allow $4,000 per year
for providing clerk hire in the Office of
the city treasurer, commencing April
81, 1891, providing that no greater sum
than S666. 66 be paid monthly. The res
olution was referred to the committee
on ways and means. Under the sus
pension of the rules all ordinance was
passed giving permission TO Mrs. john
son to add an additional story to the
three-story stone building situated at
l94 East i lnlru street.
The appointment by the chief of po-
lice of Arthur +. Moulton, as clerk in
his Office at salary of $1,000 per year,
as provided by Senate File S63, was con-
firmed by the council.
The appointments by the acting

pert to report upon the figures submit
ted The bids were from Lewis Baker
Jr., Fred Driscoll Jr., j. Ii. Ramaley, j.
Burns and j. Cunningham.
Acting Mayor Cullen sent communi-
cation to the council, in which he We
toed the resolution of Aid. Dodner,
passed April 81. providing for the ap-
pOintment OF police officer to act as
pOundmaster in the Tenth and Eleventh
wards. The mayor gives as his reason
for not approving the resolution that the
amount allowed the police depart
ment by the amended charter
is $1S5.O0O, and that as the
cost of running the department in 1890.
including salaries of pOundmasterS and
dog catchers, was $19l, l54, that the
amount allowed by law will be exceed
ed by the appointment of new men to
act as poundmasters. The council,
therefore, reconsidered the resolution of
Aid. Dobner, and referred if to the
committee on police. Aid. Conley in
troduced a resolution that the chief of
police be instructed to detail certain Of
ficers doing duty at the substations to
perform the duties of poundmasters and
dog catchers during the summer sea-
son. The resolution was passed. The
council adjourned.

Additional Testimony Why

Should Not Hang
Placed Before the Governor
by Relatives, Lawyers
and Leading Men.
Who Eloquently Plead That
1t Is Doubtful Whether
Holden Is Guilty.
City Council Holds a Special
Meeting to Clear UP Rou-
tine Work.

A delegation of gentlemen headed by
Judge II. ID. Baldwin, OF Redwood
Falls, and c. c. Wilson. of Rochester,
waited Oh Gov. Merriam yesterday with
new evidence bearing on the case of
Clifton Holden, now under sentence to
be executed on May S. The other mem-
bers of the delegation were A. L. Steb-
bins and F. II. Dykman, of Rochester;
w. L. Holden. Of Luyerne, brother OF
the condemned man; Grant B. Kellogg,
of the law firm of Davis, Kellogg d
Severance, and Hon. Albert Schetfer.
The visitors were shown into the gov
ernor's room at $3.50 yesterday after
noon. 1t was shown to be the desire of
the workers in Holden;s behalf to Sc
cure a Communication Of H0lden'S SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life. The
presentation of the evidence held
to justify doubt as to Hol-
den's guilt occupied until 4:3O.
A somewhat lengthy argument was
made by Mr.. Wilson in regard to the
purely circumstantial evidence on
which the man had been convicted. He
took the position that in no case should
a man be executed on such evidence as
that presented TO the jury. and that in
any event the prosecution had failed to
show a motive for the crime. The new
evidence submitted takes the form OF
affidavits from six of the jurors who
tried the case that. had they been aware
that the death penalty would have been
inflicted. they would never have agreed
to verdict of murder in the first degree.
Those making affidavit to the above
effect are Jurors Porter, Martin, Red
ford. Smith and the two .johnsOns. 1t
is also urged that the evidence showing
that blood was found Oh the buggy in
which Dodge is said to have met his
death is not supported by the facts as
learned since the last trial. George
Lamphere. of Redwood county. has
made a sworn statement that he eX
amined the buggy Immediately after ITS
arrival, and that there was no blood
upon it. Mr.. Schetfer also spoke on be-
half of the prisoner, urging that ter
rible mistake would be made by the
execution of man for crime of which
there existed doubt of his guilt.
Gov. Merriam took the case under ad-
ViSement

taint upon his character. Mr.. Murnane
