City Treasurer Kortgaard has been
''getung the worst of it, through his
Willingness to help out some of the city
employees. He has been beaten to such
an extent that he feels very sore. The
losses he has sustained will make hole
in the profits from the office he holds.
The employees of the city draw their
pay only once a month. That is not
often enough to satisfy some of them.
They cannot have ali the spending
money they need, or think they need,
when the money comes to their purses
only once in thirty days. Under these
circumstances they are accustomed
frequently to call upon the city treasur-
er to help them out of the
holes into which they some
times step, with the rest of
humanity. They get money from the
city treasurer on their personal notes,
agreeing to pay him in good current
coin of the republic as soon as they get
the coin from the city. These notes
are for varying periods of time. Some
of them are for 80 days. some for go
days, and some even run 80 days. Of
course the city treasurer is all right if
the makers of the notes are honest and
If they remain i'll the employ of the city.
lie suffers under other conditions.
Should they leave the employ of the
city before these notes come due, their
names leave the pay roll and the notes
remain III Mr.. KOrtgaard'S safe as relics
of official life and the pitfalls of the
officeholder. If the makers of the notes
be dishonest, they can beat the accom-
mOdating city treasurer just the same,
and still draw pay from the city. The
note transaction between these men
and the city treasurer is between them
and him as between a man and his
banker. The city has nothing to. do
with it. They owe the money to him.
lie cannot take il out of their monthly
salaries unless they give HIM leave to
do so. And there you are. He has the
notes; they get the money, and there is
an end of it.
The city treasurer has met with a good
many such experiences recently. 1t is
said that most Of the offenders in this
way are members of the fire depart
ment. Some of them have left the de-
partment but most of them are still
working. The city treasurer is power
less. He cannot get the money except
by the honesty of the debtors. Should
he go to law he would probably get no
satisfaction and no money either. for an
angered debtor will pay slower than
pleasant one. Mr.. Kortgaard is averse
to saying much about this matter.
That he has lost a good deal of money
in this way he does not deny, but he
will not go into details. He has, how
ever, lost several thousand dollars
through his willingness to accommodate
city employees on their personal notes
until pay day."

Another Market.

Harlow Gale and the Sixth ward mar

satisfactory adjustment of their differ

disposition to Illustrate Mr.. Gales plans
as far as possible.
After the property from the alley to
the railroad tracks was leased, persons
interested in the South side market
looked up the title and found that the
city had never released its claim to the
roadway of First avenue north from the
alley TO the river.
The attention of the authorities was
called to this fact. and the farmers were
driven away and man placed on the
ground to see that they did not return.
Mr.. Gale has now leased the old wood

the foot of First avenue. where he says
the farmers can do business until the

THREE FAILURES,
Assignments Were Plentiful at the
Court House Yesterday.

As the first of the year approaches,
those merchants who cannot make both
ends meet conclude to give up the ghost
and assign. Three assignments were
made yesterday.
Christian NJ. Bye, a grocer at 500
Cedar avenue, assigned to John ii.
Field, the banker. His assets amount
to S1,306.55 and his debts foot up
81, 72S.3 80.
Potter & Thompson. real estate and
loan agents at 236 Hennepin avenue,
have also gone to the wall. They have
voluntarily assigned TO the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Trust company. A state
ment of the assets and liabilities cannot
be obtained at present.
David Goodman. proprietor of the
California Wine house, 334 Nicollet ave-
nue., was the third party to succumb to
the inevitable yesterday. He assigned
to John Gutenberg, but he has not yet
made schedule of his assets and liza
bilitieS.
About five minutes after David Good
man, proprietor of the California Wine
house, filed his assignment yesterday
afternoon, the attorneys for the State
bank filed an attachment against Good
man for $500. OF course, they were just
about five minutes too late to have their
attachment effective.

DID THEY GET 1T?
Doubtful Results of Wisconsin
Safe Cracking,

SHEBoYGAN FALLS. Wis, Dec. 3d.
The Sheboygan Falls branch bank of
the German Bank of Sheboy gan was
entered by burglars last night, They
entered the building through the back
window, blew open the vault doors with
dynamite and commenced work on the
safe. 1t is supposed they were alarmed
while at work and fled, as the attempt
to open the safe was abandoned when
the contents were almost within their
grasp. As it was, the robbers secured
but $40 for their nights work. Up to
10 o'clock today the bank officials were
unable to open the safe, and they fear
that the robbers forced the lock, took
the money and reclosed the doors and
battered the lock. If they did enter the
safe they secured $4,000 or $4,000. it is
believed, although the bank people re-
fuse to say how much was in the bank.

How a Romance Ended.

Charles r. Francis, telegraph editor
OF the Times, was married Tuesday to
Miss Minnie Ball, of White Bear. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Horace Warden. chaplain of the Mime
sofa Soldiers home. There is quite a
romance connected with the affair.
About a year ago Francis lay ill at the
Homeopathic hospital, and none of his
friends ever expected to see him at work
again. A young lady nurse. however,
nursed him back to life, and then the
TWO fell in love with each other. The
sequel was Tuesdays marriage.

THAT PUBLlC PARK.
Ex-Gov. Pillsbury Has Something
to Say on the Matter.

Ex-Gov. PillsbuTy laughed when he
was asked regarding the statement in
morning paper that the millers and
lumbermen of the city were the primer
pal ones interested in the Northern
Minnesota park scheme. 1t was absurd,
he said, 10 say that either the lumber
men or the millers were DESTROYS of in
juring Duluth by the proposed forest
reservation. The ex-governor said that
he signed the bill because he thought it
would be nice thing for the state to
have park similar to the Yellowstone
park. He did not sign it because of anv
personal or selfish motive. ]. s. Pills
bury & Co. own great deal of valuable
timber land within the proposed park
which they are willing to donate to the
public.
1.-The citizens of Duluth" said Mr..
Pillsbury, would be benefited lust as
much as the citizens of any other part
of the state. They are taking an alto
gether too narrow and selfish view of
this matter. They are afraid that if the
timber is preserved in that region they
will lose that. So think that the atti-
tude of the Duluth board of trade i'm
being opposed to the park because its
timber is tributary to them is not a good

A Satisfactory Showing Made by
the Park Board in Its ReDOrt,

The annual report of Secretary Nye,

factory years work, particularly from a
financial point of view.
At the opening of the year 1891 there
was owing in bills 10000. while the ac-
count with the city treasurer was over
drawn $1,000, making an Indebtedness
of $4,000. with the treasury worse than
empty. The close of the year finds
only $4,000 due on outstanding notes.
while there is nearly $1,000 in the treas
ury. Therefore the board is SG5. 600 bet
ter off than it was year ago. The re-

AS soon as City Engineer Rinker had
concluded his explanation of the details
of his plan. Manager Earling was asked
to express his views, and did so as
follows
AT the last meeting. l made the
statement that / did not believe this
plan was practicable. but not wishing
to appear stubborn, l consented to have
these plans prepared. Now that they
are ready L am more unfavOTably dis
posed to them than ever. The principal
objections are on account of the ]. & VI.
and II. & ID. divisions. We can't stand
to have the delays IN bringing trains
over these roads into the city-no road
can. What we want Is rapid transit.
1t will require from fifteen to thirty
minutes longer for trains to get into the
city over these lines. The distance is
over three miles longer, and two bridges
must be crossed: The people who use
these roads won't stand it.
Another objection is raised by the
industries along the present short line.
which are dependent on the railway
service. Over S1.O00,O00 are invested i'm
these, and large number of men are
employed. They would have to go out
of business if the present tracks were

CURED"
Nearly all of the aldermen appeared
to cOncede that the plans presented
were impracticable. and Mr.. Earring
then submitted proposition to bridge
the tracks.
He stated that the company would be
willing to bridge the a. & ID. tracks at
Cedar and Hennepin avenues, and after
considerable discussion a motion was
adopted instructing Mr.. Rinker to pre-
pare plans for raising the short line
