THE SNOW ORDINANCE.
1t Has Been Put Into Practice and
Found to Work Well.

Although Minneapolis has had a
snow ordinance since Dec. %. yester-
day witnessed the first occasion for its
use, and it was found to act in a manner
generally satisfactory. Aid. Loye, the
father of the ordinance. called Chief
Henderson, attention early in the morn
ing to the fact that the ordinance had
received its official publication and was
therefore in force, and the chief at
once issued instructions to the police
officers to see that its provisions were
observed. There was little difficulty,
however, in the enforcement of the
ordinance, the owners and occupants of
buildings falling into line very promptly
as rule.
At noon. the limit of time allowed for
the cleaning of walks, the central part
of the city showed but few walks that
had not been cleaned, and these for the
most part abutted upon unoccupied
property owned by non-residents. and
at present the ordinance contains no
provision under which these cases can
be reached,
TIE residence portion Of the city was
not so well cared for, but even there
clean walks were the rule.

KNOTS UNITED.
Five Divorces Granted in the Dis
trict Court for Various Causes.

Richard /. Meining was given very
tough character by his wife, Barbara,
who appeared in court yesterday in
quest of a divorce. Mrs. Meining told a
tale about like this: She was married
at Sault Ste. Marie on Feb. q, 1889. and
soon afterwards moved to Duluth with
her husband. In less than six months
after Richard Meining had promised TO
be her true and loving hubby until
death do us part" he neglected her and
began lavishing his love and his coin on
a dark-eyed siren 10y the name of Ruby.
In October, 1889, Richard quit his wife
altogether, and in her place he estab-
lished this Ruby, whom he took
from house of prostitution. Richard
and his Hazel went to faT-off Seattle,
where, it is said, they livad together as
man and wife. In the following April
they returned to Duluth and continued
to live as if they had been properly
made one by the law and preacher.
Mr.. Meining, it is said, introduced
Hazel tOa number of his friends in Du-
luth as his wife. He is now living in
Minneapolis, but HaZel's present place
of residence is unknown TO tie COM
plainant.
Mrs. Meining was granted divorce
name of Barbara Gwinner.
The old GrayOn divorce case was
resurrected yesterday by motion OH
the part of the plaintiff, Frederick
GravOn, to vacate the order under which
he has been required to pay $3.50 weekly
for the support of his child, which has
been in the custody of his divorced
wife. About two years ago Mr.. GravOn
was granted a divorce from his wife,
Ernestine, on the ground of drunken
ness. An infant child was left in the
custody of its mother. and the court
ordered Mr.. Gravon to pay $50 weekly
for its support. Now Mr.. Grayon in
forms the court that his divorced wife
is married to Michael Rindfleisch.
of Albino, Or, and that the child is one
of the newly organized family. He OBJ
jects to paying for the support of a
child that has been adopted, by mar
riage, by another man. His motion,
however, was struck from the calendar,
as the court saw no occasion for action.
Gravon can quit paying the money. I'M
less his divorced wife insists upon hay
ing it. 1t isn't likely that she will.
Isaac KurtZman is a single man today.
He went into Judge HOoker's court yes
terday and told all about hOwhe peeped
nue. on the night of Nov. 20 last, and
saw his wife clothed in scarcely any
thing else but the caresseS of DR.. w. K.
Martin. He made out pretty good case
of adultery and the court granted him
the divorce that he sought.

THE CHIEFS REPORT.
Some of the Information That
Runge Will Submit to the Coun-
Gil

Some of the Information That
Runge Will Submit to the Coun-
Gil.
Chief Engineer Runge, of the fire de-
partment. is preparing his annual re-
port. which shows that the losses of the
year make a heavy total, but also re-
fleets great credit upon the department.
UP to date there have been 65S alarms,
with loss of Sl.O75, 1S6, and insurance
OF the same of $1,000, 900, according to
Chief Ranges estimates. November
was the heaviest month of the year, with
losses amounting 10 S450.000. There
were during the year five special calls
from Gladstone. West Superior.
Duluth and st. Paul, and 663 fires in
the city, several of the latter
exceeding 100000 damage. The first
was the Clare-Speaker and Lumber EX-
change, loss 1892, 200, insured for $780,
OO0. Then there was the Day lumber
yard, May 81, the heaviest loss of tine
year, there being but $685. 900 insurance
on a loss estimated at S207, 1874. 10. On
Nov. 10 the Cooper block burned, caus-
ing loss of Sl29.000, insured for S10l,.
600, and six days later the North Star
Boot and Shoe factory. The loss here
was $50, 200, and the insurance $409, 900.
Then there was the Empire elevator
fire. The loss here was estimated at
100000. insured for $4,000.
Among the other large fires Of the
year were the Bardwell-RobinsOn fac
tory, 81, 700; the Brighton store, SO, 900;
Minneapolis Grain d Feed company,
$4,000; Rees block, S2l 900: Star ele-
vatOr collapse mot properly a fire., $780,
600; Nelson paper mill, $4,000: Crown
roller mill $4,000; Lake Harriet pa
Wilton, $4,000; and the Warner resi-
dence at Cedar lake. $4,000.
In the report the chief will make a
number of recommendations. He will
advise the purchase of another water
tower as soon as there are accommOda-
tons for 1t, and will also urge the
speedy completion of the proposed
headquarters building on the lot on
Fourth street, near Hennepin. He will
ask for new engine house at the cor
ner of Thirty-secOnd and Washington
streets southeast, to protect the lumber
district, and another at Oak and Cam
bridge streets southeast, TO protect the
oil tanks.
The recent agitation for an increase
in salaries will probably receive some
attention in the chiefs report, but it is
not likely that he will recommend the
general raise talked of. There are
some things on the salary list, notably
the pay of the captains. which need re-
adjusting. At present they receive but
SS5 month, while some OF their subor-
dlnateS receive 500.

said:

therefore Mrs. Polhemus got divorce.

WHERE IS STEPHENSON?
A Produce Broker Suddenly Dis
appears and Is Sought After,

The Commercial Bulletin chronicles
the sudden departure from the city of
one Stephenson, who recently estab-
lished produce brokerage business in
Minneapolis. Speaking of Mr.. Stephen
sons peculiar business methods the
Bulletin says: His Office was at first
in the Boston block, but he soon re-
moved to Second avenue south,
where he carried on heavy
correspondence with produce ship
pers. 1t is not known what in
ducementS be made them to secure
their shipments. He obtained several
large cOnsignmentS of cheese and eggs,
despite the fact that he offered his ship
pers no references as to his standing.
He disappeared from the city about ten
days ago, and several victims have been
looking for him since. Mr.. Stephenson
did not appear like a dishonest man
upon close acquaintance, and many who
knew him are surprised at his conduct.

THE CITY MUST PAY
The Interest on the School Boards
Bonds

The application of the board of edu-
cation for writ of mandamus against
the city comptroller and city treasurer
was granted by Judge Lochren yester-
day. The question at issue was whether
or not the interest paid on board of edu-
cation bonds should be charged to the
fund of the board. Judge Lochren de-
cided tibet it should not. He held that
the municipality was liable for the in
terest, and there was no reason why it
should be taken from the funds of the
board of education.
The decision of the court places the
school board in financial condition to
proceed with the erection of the pro-
posed South side high school. About
$4,000 of the funds of the board have
been appropriated for interest by the
city comptroller and treasurer, and, with
the exception of about $4,000, it will
have to be refunded.

Put the issue on the above mentioned
basis and it could be settledfor all time
That is the position of more than one
man OF discretion and Judgment. An
alderman, of the coolest head. calmest.
brainieSt, far-Seeing men in the council,
was talking of this matter the other day,
and he expressed himself in that way.
Il am tired of seeing and hearing so
much about the salOOn," said he.
"There is no question in my mind but
that there should be some change from
the existing order of things. AS it
stands now, the city ordinances leave
trouble for the saloon man, who pays
for protection and is entitled to it, and
for the administration that is charged
with the responsibility of enforcing the
laws. Ever since | have been in this
city there has been a cOntInued squabble
over the saloon question. No matter
how the saloons have been handled the
question has been bobbing up in politics
every year. If the saloons were all
closed as tightly as the veriest crank
demanded, there was a demand for
more liberal policy. Let man be

the city more liberal administration and
the opposition would straightwav begin

to the mayor the power of regulating
the saloons would not settle the ques-
ton. The mayor would be jumped on

the political ascendancy, only to do the
same themselves. There is only one point
at issue in all this talk and that is, Shall
there be a side dOor% You can't make
anything else out of it, try as you may.
Why don't | raise that question in the
council chamber? For this reason: That
the man who would have the nerve and
honesty to put that question on its base
where it belongs would be laughed out
of the council chamber. But that is the
question. honestly confess that have
not the nerve to do it, and | do not be-

THEIR CHRISTMAS SPREE.
Two Young BloOds Try to Drive
Across a Railroad Bridge.


Two young men suffering from an
aggravated form of Christmas jag tried
to drive across the Northern Pacific
railway bridge Friday afternoon, and a
serious catastrophe was narrowly
averted by the timely arrival of several
sober persons. The horse, urged on by
the drunken occupants of the buggy,
had picked his way on the ties for
nearly forty feet. when he stepped
through an opening and fell heavily. =
One of the men then jumped from the
buggy and ran away. but the other set
upon the unfortunate animal with the
whip.
About this time crowd who had wit
messed the performance from short
distance arrived upon the scene and put
an end to this cruelty. A gang of men
from the neighDoring roundhouse sue
ceeded in getting the horse and buggy
Oh solid ground again, and none too
soon, for within few moments the
Northern Pacific train crossed the
bridge. The driver was arrested, and
yesterday paid fine of $40 for drunk
enneSS.
