ELECTRIC RAILWAY FLASHES


A Broken Engine - Important
Changes in the Running ofLines.
The street railway company is again
having trouble with its huge power en-
gines, and, in consequence, the trailers
have been taken off the various lines.
No. engine was discovered to be in a
precari0uS condition Saturday night. so
it was stopped and repairs begun. 1t is
expected that the engine will be ready
for use again today, in which event the
trailers will be put back at once. A
number Of changes will be made in the
running system this week, the most I'M
pOrtant of which is the resuming of the
old service on Thirty-first street. Every
other car will run across Thirty-first
street to Hennepip avenue, the others
continuing over the NicOllet avenue ex-
tension to Thirty-elghth street, and half
hour cars running to Washburn Park,
as heretofore. The Bryant avenue ex-
tension of the Lyndale line will also be
put into operation, and twenty-minute
cars will run from Thirty-frst to
Fortieth street, on Bryant, and connect
with every other Lyndale car from
the city. The Monroe line will
be connected with the Lyndale and
through cars run over it every ten
Monroe cars will be honored on all West
side cars. On the Cedar avenue line
cars will be run every ten minutes and
transfer checks from the line will be
good OIL all lines with the exception of
the Bloomington and Minnehaha. On
the Plymouth avenue line cars will
the corner of Washington and Henne-
pin avenues every twenty minutes and
its transfer checks hOnOred on all lines,
save the North side.
Five new compound Westinghouse
engines have been placed in the power
house at Thirty-frst street and the poles
for the feed wires are erected the entire
length of Blaisdell avenue. When the
power house is opened for use next
spring, it will be utilized to a large ex.
tent for the moving of lake and subur-
ban trains. The old motor shop has been
transformed into mammoth repair
shop and loop has been built around
the property running on Blaisdell ave-
nue. and Thirty-first street, for the pur-
pose of facilitating the handling of
trains.

ten the letter in reply to one from Rink
er, which appeared i'll the Journal.
and which contained assertions which
neither Rinker nor any other man
could prove.
Here he was stopped, and Mr.. Rinker
addressed the committee in angry tones,
saying that he had supposed that he
would be given fair show and
chance to be heard in connection with
that letter. However, he was not
through yet, and would take the matter
before the council, where he could get
hearing, and until the points in that
letter had been settled he did not want
anything more to do with the commit
tee, and with that he fiounced out of
the room. Capt. Tarr was then asked
to take the stand, and positions were re-
verSed. Mr.. TWeedie questioning him.
How long have you been practical engi-
neery'' was the first question.
We'll. that is rather a broad question.

Mr.. Cakes, also WOrthingtOn EN-
ploye. was then called to the stand,
He stated that he ran the pumps
from Nov. '89 to March 80. when they
were turned over to the city. The only
break during that time was the pulling
out of rod in the air pump.
He said he was not an expert engi-
neer, but had run 100000 and 12,000,-
600 gallon WOrthington pumps.
He recalled one time while he was in
charge when the pump had stopped,
and said ii was OH account of the fact
that an engineer fell asleep.

TODAY THEY COME.
Chairman j. s. Clarkson and His
Party Will Arrive on the Scene.


Party Will Arrive on the Scene.
Today Minneapolis will receive that
long promised visit from j. S. Clarkson,
the Republican mogul, Col. Meek and
A. l.. Conger. They will arrive this
morning. 1t is possible that some other
members of the national committee will
come with them. They have good deal
OF work before them in Minneapolis.
The most important thing they have to
do just at present is to arrange quarters
for the national committee. They will
take look at the hotel accommodations
of the city and decide just how many
rooms the national committee must
have. Then they will view the EXpOsi-
ton building and make suggestions as
they think fit regarding the interior al
rangementS to be made there.
Col. West says that as soon as the
national committee has been provided
with rooms at his hOuse,th other rooms
will be given out in the order of the re-
ceipt of the applications. He says that
he has already had applications for
enough rooms TO supply three houses
like the West. The Nicollet house has
received nearly 200 applications for ac-
commodations during the convention.
The active work of the convention
committee to have everything in readi-
ness for the gathering will begin as
soon as Clarkson and his party have
finished their work. 1t will go with a
rush from that on. The only committee
that is doing anything now is the finance
committee. 1t is meeting with fair sue
cess, but the people of Minneapolis, if
they appreciate the value of the con-
yentiOn, will come forward little more
literally.
William c. Crozier, the representative
of the New York Mail and Express, has
been in Minneapolis several days gath
ering material for a special article on
Minneapolis in connection with the con-
ventiOn. He says he has looked the
town over carefully and he is confident
that the city will hold the gathering
without difficulty.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Uncle Celestin," presented By the Ru-
dolph Aronson company at the Grand last
night, is billed as a musical comedy. 1t
differs from the ordinary comic opera in
this: 1t has more story and less recitative
music. Uncle Celestin' is a thoroughly en-
jOyable stage production. There is not a
dull moment from the rise of the curtain TO
the fall on the last act. The music, by
Audran, is Sprightly and beautiful I'm pIaces
The comedy is bright and goes with vim
Then there is a capable companyto present
it. Jefferson de Angels and Miss Jennie
Reiferth have the leading COMEDY roles
Mr.. de Angels is really a comedian He mas
funny legs, he is a funny contortionist. al
though he does not introduce enough of that
business" TO mar his performance, aud he
can reads lines intelligently. The audience
never fails to catch the point. Miss Annie
Meyers has good voice, uses II to advantage
and is clever Coincidence. The same may
be said OF Miss Villa Knox, who ESSAYS q
male role. Max Freeman is another com
edian numbered in the cast whose methods
are always legitimate. Harry Macdonough.
Maurice Abbey and Miss Jennie Weathersby
are others who can be depended upon to dc
good work, and they do it in Uncle Celes-
tin" The chOruses are well sung and the
stage settings are sumptuous. AS a whole.
Uncle Ceiestin'' affords the best combina-
ton of musical and comedy entertainment
seen in Minneapolis this year.
The Andrews Opera company essayed to
sing mariana at the Lyceum theater last
night TO a discouragingly small house. The
rain kept the people away. Though The
principals did very well individually, the
performance was not up 10 some things the
Andrews have done. The chorus singing
was faulty, but will improve through the
week. The orchestration of the piece, on the
ather hand, wasiexcellent. The music of the
opera is beautiful. Marie Roe, as Marita ma

THE OFFER DECLINED.

The Hennepin Avenue Church
Will Not Consolidate With Gen.
tenary.
The society of the Hennepin Avenue
Methodist church held a meeting last
evening to consider the proposition of
the congregation of Centenary church
to consolidate the two congrega tons
and occupy the new Grace church, at
the corner of Grant and First avenue
south, which is now nearly completed.
The brethren of the Hennepin Avenue
church decided to decline the offer, the
general sense of the meeting being
that there was a work laid out TO be
performed at the present location which
it would not do TO fOrsake
A committee was appointed to convey
this decision to the Centenary church
people.
DR.. F. o. Holman, speaking of the
matter after the meeting, said that.
while the offer of Centenary church was
regarded as a kind and generous one,
there had never been any division in his
congregation as to the wisdom of the
change, and that the decision had been
unanimous.

OUR CITY HOSPITAL.
Health Commissioner Kelly Makes
ReDOrt on Its Condition,

The health department held meet
ing yesterday afternoon to close up the
business of the year, the principal feat
ure of the session being the auditing of
the expense bills for the month.
Although no formal annual report was
submitted. the members informally re-
viewed the work accomplished, and ex-
pressed themselves well pleased with
the record of the year.
DR.. Kelly submitted a report upon
the condition of the city hospital, in
which he sets forth that the laundry is
inadequate land makes a comparison
highly unfavOrable TO the hospital be-
tween the operating room of that insti-
tuition. which is small and without
window of any kind, and the reception
room at the workhOuse with its flood
of light, barber chairs and waxed
floors"
He also condemns the, water;closet
OH the second floor for lack of ventIa-
ton and consequent Objectionable
OdEs.
The dining room, be says, is so small
as to neceSsitate that the table be set
four times for each meal.
In conclusion he calls attention to the
great need FOR a new hospital building
and urges that one be secured as early
as possible.
