HALL GOES TOO.
Another North Side Engineer

Another North Side Engineer
Who Talked Too Freely of the
Pumps.
1t now transpires that William Twee-
die was not the only one of the engi-
neers at the North side pumping station
who was beheaded by the committee on
water works Friday morning, and the
belief that the action Of the committee
is traceable to the recent investigation
of the North side pump and what it
brought forth has become much
more general. Yesterday morning
Frank x. Hall was called to the
office of the water department and there
informed by Supervisor Mcconnell that
his resignation had been accepted to
take effect at once.
Mr.. hall was seen after his visit to
Supt. Mcconnell, and OIL being asked if
he had shared Tweedie's fate, replied
that such was the case. To a further
interrogatory he replied that he did not
know the reason for his discharge aud
had not been informed. He declined to
talk further, saying that at some future
time, perhaps. he would be heard from.
Aid. Barrows, chairman of the COM
mittee Oh water works, said yesterday
that if either Hall or Tweedie desired a
hearing they would be given one Tues
day morning. Supervisor Mcconnell,
on being asked about this matter, said:
The other day, some time between
Hall and Tweedie's watch, the plug was
pulled out of the oil tank and about
e4OO worth of oil flowed into the river.
The pressure was so low that for sew
eral hours we were obliged to depend
entirely upon the East side Jumbo
pump, which has a capacity of only
100000 gallons. Had big fire broken
out we would have been at the mercy of
the flames. 1t is necessary mere, as
everywhere else, to b@ye men who have

MRS. CoNLow TEsTIFIEs.
She Says She Knows Nothing
About Miss Browns Child,

On Friday afternoon Miss Nellie
Brown took out writs of habeas corpus
compelling Mrs. Garbaith-C onlow and
George F. Roberts to appear in court
yesterday with Miss Browns child.
They appeared in court, but without
the child. Hector Baxter appeared for
Miss Brown, but was unable to
learn anything concerning the
child's whereabouts. He asked Rob-
erts where his wife was and
Roberts stated that she was at Chicago.
He knew she had little girl with her
named Maggie. She took the child
there when Miss Brown commenced suit
against Conlow. His wife. he said, was
stopping with friends at Chicago, but
he did not know who they were. He
was asked TO name friend of the fam
lily at Chicago, and he named a Mr..
Smith. He didn't know where Mr..
Smith lived, however, and couldn't re-
member his first name.
Mrs. Conlow didn't know anything
concerning the whereabouts of the
child. She stated that she had seen
the child. She went out walking with
Conlow and Mrs. Roberts once and Con-
low carried Maggie" She said Con-
low told her that he was not Maggie's
father.
Judge Canty saw that Baxter could do
nothing with the witnesses, SO he con-
tinued the case two weeks. This was

Chicago Tribune.
II made fool of myself in a dream
the other night" said the man with his
feet on the table.
"a bigger fool than usual?'' inquired
the man with the green goggles.
The other disdained to reply, and
went OH with his story:
Il dreamed [ was standing with a
friend in front of a bar. He had just
said to the bartender:
".Jake, have you any more of that
prime old Kentucky whisky of 1882
and the bartender said he had. Hand
it out said my friend. How will you
have it?' said Jake to me, and l said I
would take it hot, if he pleased. He
went away to get the hot water and L
woke Up."
.'Well," said the man in the mackin-
tOsh, inquiringly.
"Why, don't you see that if had said
I'd take it cold l would have had that
drink? l wouldn't have got left. 1t
isn't every day man has chance at
prime old Kentucky, even in dream"
Fhe assent to the proposition that he
had made a most uncommon and un-
precedented fool Of himself was SO
hearty and unanimous that he slowly
took his feet down form the table. and.
at his suggestion, the meeting adjourned
and the audience accompanied him in
solemn silence to the cold-tea bazaar in
basement across the way.

care in handling the pumps,
and Tweedie, 1 have been told,
said that he didn't care whether
anything happened or not as
long as it was not on his watch. The
steam coils around the oil tanks, where
by the oil is kept at a certain tempera-
ture, have been frozen during Tweedic's
watch. and it would have taken several
hours to thaw them out. These are
a few instances of the general run of
things during Tweedie's watch. The
Worthington pump people have offered
to guarantee the pumps for i've wears
provided we selected engineers aceepta-
BILE to them and who understand their
pumps"
1t will be remembered that during the
recent investigation of the workings of
the Worthington pumps the principal
Andrew Bergstrom, Tweedie and Hall.
Bergstrom was first TO testify, and after
the first meeting was taken into the
private office and severely taken to task
by Mcconnell and Rinker for the testl-
mony he had given, which was
not particularly complimentary to
the Worthington pumps, and conse-
Quently reflected upon Rinker.
After that he was more circumspect in
his statements, but Tweedie aud Hall,
who had not been seen, or could not be
disciplined, expressed themselves freely
and unreservedly upon the pumps. the
result being very unsatisfactory 10 City
Engineer Rinker.
AT that time it was freely stated that
Rlnker would have their scalps. and the
recent action OF the walerworkS coni-
mlttee is no surprise to some of the al
dermen who believe that Rinker has
been working ever since to accomplish
just what has happened. 1t is also
stated that, although BergstrOm took q
reef in his sail, he still incurred the dis
pleasure of the powers that be, and is
doomed TO follow the others. One of
the aldermen said yesterday:
1t is surprising TO me that nothing I'M
satisfactory was discovered in the work
of these men until after this investiga-
ton. Up to that time they had always
been considered competent men. !
can't understand how Tweedie could be
expected to report that his Oil supply
had given out when he knew that ouly a
short time before the oil tank had been
full. Those men did not know that the
oil supply had been turned into the
river. Then there is something about
the opening of the valve which ran the
oil off that might be explained. There
is something interesting III it il we
couid only get at it.
Another thing l don't understand is
the summary manner III which these
men have been let out. 1t is custom ary
III that business, as in almost every
other, to give man some notice, but
these engineers have received none.

ANOTHER IRREGULARITY.
This Time the Council Is Called
Down by the COMPTROLLER.

Down by the Comptroller.
It is now stated that even the council
itself has been guilty of an irregulartv,
and has appropriated money from the
permanent improvement fund for street
grading contrary to the provisions of
the charter. ea
Aid. Lowell on Friday night moved to
amend resolution passed on Jan. II,
ordering the executing of a contract for
grading Twenty-ninth street, from Lake
street to Hennepin avenue, and Lake
street, from Twenty-ninth street to the
west city limits, so as to read land out
of the permanent improvement fund"
The ordinance as amended was
passed and signed by President Potter,
and the next day was approved by Mr..
Potter, as acting mayor.
The contract for the grading in ques
ton has been awarded to German and
Peterson at IA cents per cubic yard,
and now City Comptl olier Armstrong
has refused TO approve the contract. In
this he is upheld by Mayor Winston and
City Attorney Russell, although the lat
ter says that the action would probably
hold if the council was convinced that
the improvement was for the general
good. City Comptroller Armstrong
said yesterday:
"Street grading and paving are paid
for out of street fund raised by tax
levy on the ward residents in which
the improvements are to be made. Un-
less some provision had been previously
made with reference to this particular
Improvement and put in the fund when
it was appropriated, it is clearly within
the scope of the meaning Of the law,
which says it shall not be done. ! will
refuse to acknowledge the contract
