came up permitting Mayor Haynes
Council of Newark when it is
a tie politically. The bill was introduced
yesterday by Kalisch as substitute for a
similar bill introduced earlier in the ses-
sion which included the Board of Educa-
tion. Almost Immediately after the in
PRODUCTION of the substitute, the Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations report
ed it favorably,
Mr.. Cole of Camden protested against
this attempt to railroad the bill through.
He said that although member OF the
committee he had never seen the bill. He
did not know that any meeting of the
committee had been held. He wanted
the bill laid over so that it could be print
ed and the members could read it. he
made his usual partisan harangue.
Mr.. O'Neill replied, and in his vigorous
manner exploded Mr.. Coles platitudes.
During his remarks he called Mr.. Cole his

LONDON, Jan. 81, 1S92.-The correspond.
ent of the Times at Santiago de Chile to-
day telegraphs that the text of Chile's
reply to the ultimatum Of the United
States has not yet been disclosed and that
it will not be made public until Satur
day.
The correspondent further says that
Chile, relying upon the advices received
from Minister Montt as late as Friday,
that pacific assurances were given
him constantly by Mr.. Blaine, the
American Secretary of State, considered
that settlement had been practically
arranged, especially as Chile, through
President Montt, had given counter as
surance of friendly feeling, and of de-
sire to satisfy all reasonable demands.
Minister Months position, the cor
respondent adds, is now seriously COM
promised.
Fortunately for the tranquility of Chile,
the entire nation places confidence in the
patriotism and prudence of President
Montt. Everything is quiet.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The following decisions on cases
taken up from this county were fled
by the Judges of the Supreme Court
last Friday, and will probably be of
interest to our Blue Earth county
readers at least:
Peter Kremer respondent, VS.. the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company,
appellant. Order affirmed
VANDERBURG, JR
Where a railway company enters upon land
and constructs its road under the mere license
of the owner OF the land, such license is pro-
lection for acts done under it, but upon its revo-
cation the company may be elected from the
premises, unless the right to continue to occupy
the same is acquired by purchase or condemna-
ton. The land owners right of action is not
impairedIby mere inaction or delay in bringing
suit, within the statutory time In condemna-
ton proceedings, the owner is entitled to have
his compensation in damages assessed for the
injury to the entire tract owned by him, of
which the land appropriated by the company
in part, as OF the time OF the assessment OF
damages.
1t is for the jury to determine the extent of the
injury as affecting different portions of such
street. When in an action for the recovery OF
land unlawfully occupied by railroad COM
pany, the latter in its answer asks for an as
sessment of the damages for the appropriation
thereof under the statute, it is entitled to aban-
don or dismiss such application at any time
before the final submission of the case. But
where it fails to assert such right and asks to
amend its answer or for leave to dismiss or
abandon such application for an assessment of
claims and the motion is treated and disposed
OF as one addressed to the discretion of the
court it will be so treated in this court, and
the decision of the trial court will not be inter
fered with except in case of abuse of discretion.
This settles this case, and Mr..
Kremer will receive about S., 300, be-
sides attorneys fees.
LAYING OUT ROAD.
Andrew Sonneck, respondent, VS.. the Town OF
Minnesota Lake ct al, appellants. Judg-
ment affirmed. DICKINSON, j.
An order of supervisors laying out
road must definitely describe it's
location. A description following a
specified line ''as near as practicable"
does not locate road anywhere. Nor
is the defect cured by subsequent
survey upon definite line. An order
thus defective as to part of the road
attempted to be established will be
deemed defective as to the whole, at
least in the absence of any apparent
reason. in the facts of the case, for re-
garding the whole proposed road
otherwise than as an entirety.

BICYCLE MEET AND THE WILLARD
SWEET RACE.

On August Bird our cycling club will
give series of races which will pre-
sent several features of especial in
terest. The program as far as COM
pleted is as follows:
One mile novice.
Two mile handicap.
100 yard dash.
One mile cushion tires.
Slow race, 100 yards.
One mile championship of Blue
Earth and Nicollet counties.
100 yard dash if necessary.
One mile handicap.
One half mile.
The one mile race for the champ
ionship of Blue Earth and Nicoilet
counties will no doubt bring out some
very fast riders and will be very
pretty race.
One Of the greatest attractions of
the meeting will be the 100 yard dash
between Charles Willard and Jack
Sweet. Probably few of our citizens
know that Mankato can boast of two
of the best runners in this part of the
state, yet such is the case. Charlie
Wizards name is known for miles
around for the races he has won and
he can make his boast that he has
never yet been beaten. On High
School Field Day he made an excell-
ent record for himself and as usual
won his race with ease. On the 9TH
er hand Jack Sweet has suddenly
doomed up as very fast 100 yard run
ner and holds the medal that dubs
him the champion Splinter at the
State University. These boys are
naturally anxious to try each others
PAGES and have arranged to run the
best two of three races, each for 100
yards. The first race will take place
on August 1st, the second and third
(if necessary at the bicycle meet on
August Bird. The following officers to
conduct the games have been appoint,
ed:
DR.. l. D. Webster, referee.
Geo. Barr, Geo. NJ. Palmer and E. f
Soaring, judges, and Ed Weaver and
Felix Kelley Meagher, timekeepers.
Suitable prizes will be awarded tt
all winners.

MIDSUMMER FETE.

The Blue Earth County Worlds
Fair Auxiliary are making arrange
ments for garden party in the near
future, the receipts from which will
go toward raising the fund appointed
to Minnesota for constructing the
Children's building at Chicago.
This building is to be erected by the
different states at a cost of $4,000.
The state Of Illinois has taken upon
her shoulders the task of maintaining
the building during the Exposition.
The object and aim Of the building
is to provide comfortable, safe and
convenient place where parents can
leave their little ones while they see
the sights about the grounds.
The institution will furnish board,
rooms, amusements and also instruc-
tion, as it is about decided to have a
kindergarten school in operation.
There will be an amusement hall with
stage where entertainments suitable
to these infantile minds will be given.
There will also be hospital attached
where they will be cared for in case of
sickness. Trained nurses and attend
ants will have charge of the children
and the whole institution will be in
the hands of competent and reliable
persons. The fee for admission has
not yet been settled upon, but it is
understood that it will be merely a
nominal one.
This is very deserving enterprise
and one that should prove popular,
and there is not doubt but what it
will, as mothers would be very I'M
wise to lead their little children about
to see things they can neither under
stand nor appreciate. Many cities
and villages are giving entertainments
for this good cause, and though lit
tie late, the ladies of Mankato will
not come out least in the beauty and
magnitude of this Midsummer Fete
they have in hand Just as soon as
all arrangements are completed the
plan and description will be published
together with date and other matters
of interest.
Mankato has been exceptionally
dull this summer and this will be- a
long looked for opportunity for old
and young alike.
