REV. BYRNE'S LAST.
He Preached His Farewell Sermo n
Yesterday Morning.


Minneapolis is to lose one of its most
popular Catholic pulpit orators. Rev.
James C. Byrne. of the Immaculate Con-

sermon to his congregation yesterday
morning. He is to take charge of
the new educational institution near
Shadow Falls, st. Paul, established
through the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
President J. j. Hill. of the Great North.
ern road. The church Yesterday morn
ing was crowded to the doors, and every
ear was strained to catch the words
which fell from the lips of the beloved
pastor. His sermon was masterful one
and delivered with his characteristic
eloquence.
Rev. Father Byrne was installed as
pastor of the immaculate Conception
church about two years ago, succeeding
Rev. James McGolrick, who was made
bishop and went to Duluth to take
charge Of that diocese. Previous to
coming to Minneapolis Father Byrne
was private secretary to Archbishop
Ireland in st. Paul. He has made him.
self very popular during his brief stay
in the city, and has shown himself an
able exponent of the Catholic religion,
as well as a splendid orator.

His Council Record BEING DIS.
torted and Mil represented.
Every method that was ever known in
political campaign is being resorted to
to defeat John MCGOWAN for the alder
manic nomination in the First ward.
Just now the ordinance amendment in
troduced in the council at the last meet
ing by Aid. Klichli is being used.
Kilchli'S ordinance contemplates the
levy of an annual tax of S25 upon
every car owned by the street
railway company. change from the
present system of taxing every one of
the average number of cars in use $25.
stands is now being quoted as evidence
that MCGOWAN is the only Democrat
who has tried to help out the street rail-
way company. II is done III this way.
When Anderson ID Douglas were
struggling for franchise the Spe-
cial tax on the street cars was
made s25 on each car. Later.
when the street railway company
desired to change the motive power to
electricity, the company asked for a
change in the special tax ordinance.
The company desired to operate open
cars in summer. lie could not afford it
dDO NOuiu UOl uO IL IL tdAtu 80 III CdCll
car owned, but would consent to run
open cars if the tax were applicable to
the average number of cars. The
matter was referred to special
committee, Oh which MCGOWAN was the
only Democrat. But three Democrats
were in the council at the time. This
special committee reported favorable TO
putting the tax Oh the average number
OF cars, and thereby getting open cars
for the city. Because MCGOWAN was
the only Democrat on the committee.
the story is being circulated among the
Germans in the First ward that he is
the only Democrat who ever worked for
the street railway in the council.
But wait. That committee report
came before the council. Reference to
page SAG of the council proceedings of
1890 shows that the provision making
the S25 tax apply to the average number
of cars instead of to the whole number
OF cars was adopted by a unanimous
vote of the council. So, if MCGOWAN
voted for the street railway then two
other Democrats, both Germans, did
the same thing. AS a matter of fact
that provision was adopted to bring
open cars to the people-a feature of
the street railway travel that they like.

A Card from CITY Surveyor Graves

4 Card from City Surveyor Graves.
Lest some of the good citizens of our city
may be mised by the published reports of
the proceedings of Council Tuesday evening,
l would like to say word in defence of the
Second ward sewer 1t is not failure, and
the money has not been misspeut. 1t is the
practice of engineers in wet and marshy
plaGes to use wood foundations, and with sue
cess. The foundation of the Second ward
sewer for 100 feet was made of inch plank
spiked To cross ties s feet long and = feet
apart. The old culvcrt built by my inspector,
Mr. Burgess. some 10 years ago at the inter
section ..of Franklin and Royal streets has
stood the test of years without crack, and
was built upon wQcd. Pieces of this wood
removed in building the First ward sewer
were found TO no sound. Another 100 feet
of the Second ward sewer, instead Of being
built on mud, has the muck and unsuitable
material removed to the depth Of IS inches
or > feet. and 6 feet wide, and dry clay
rammcd in its place to serve as foundation
for the sewer. l deem this sufficient, aud do
not believe any of us will live 10 see it fail,
The balance of this sewer has naturally
good hard bottom. l inspected the First
ward sewer Wednesday morning, and it is
solid as rock. l will personally conduct
any gentleman interested through either OF
the sewers constructed tiiia year. The con-
tractor has always shown desire to give the
city good job. The inspector is experienced
and has faithfully performed his duties, and
l believe when the sewers completed the city
fathers will BIZ pleased with it.

Mr. Price with responsible witnesses to
prove his assertion. l have made in

that Sd" is correct in his statement,

The BASKET FACTORY SCANDAL
The sensational story which emanated
from the basket factory at New Alex
audria. though literally not having run
ID, ne-days' course, is by no means re-
tailed to the extent il was u day or two
ago. In fact, reaction liz public opin-
ion has set in which has tempered the
effects of the story considerably. Quiet
investigation INTO the matter is now be-
Ing made but SO far no positive proof
has been adduced TO strengthen the
charges made by Miss Finnell, though
several things have been brought to
light which need explanation from the
parties directly concerned in the scan
dial. At present, however. nothing posi-
i've can be given, though suspicious,
surmises and coniecturcs are growing
thick. Al any rate, Developments IN
the near future will either substantlate
or rcfu;e the Young woman's charge
and Judgment on the case can be stls-
pcudcd until the truth has been brought
to the surface when the public VIII
draw Its own conclusions. 1t Is SAID
that Mr.. John II. Greene, has been re-
tanned rs counsel in the case, with a
view to the issuance of warrants against
the officers and employees of the fac,
tory charging them with assault and
battery, in which event civil suit for
damages will doubtless follow. 1t Is
rmorcd also that Mr.. W. i. Hendrici-
son, the foreman Of the factory, who Is
implicated by the woman'S statement,
has left tho city. The girls story that
She recently came here from Maryland
turns out not to be true and it is now
said chat she has been living in this
city for over a year.
