He Delivers n Discourse Before
the Single Tax League

He Delivers Discourse Before
the Single Tax League.
Sumner Laid discussed the validity
of the Minneapolis StreetCar company's
franchise last night before the Single
Tax league, and dealt at length with
the rights and power Of the city council
in granting exclusive franchises. A
corporation, he maintained, is not en-
dowed with sovereignty, and has no
more right to do things or leave things
undone than a private individual.
A corporation was but q mere
artificial power and its rights
are within narrower bounds
than those of natural person.
Mr.. Ladd defined the distinctive rights
of private and municipal corporations,
and in explaining the granting of
franchises since the one possessed by
the street car company, gave vent to the
views that they were mere forms of
license, coming under the same cate
CORY as hackmen, eXpressmen, etc. In
comparing the new street car franchise
ordinance with the one granted in 1875,
he said:
ut will be said that the old ordinance
of 1875, in terms granting a franchise,
but in reality only license to the Min
neapolis street car company. when it
was operating the horse car system,
was legalized and created a franchise
by legislative act of 1879. | have been
able to find no cases where legislative
acts of a retroactive character have
been made and upheld by courts except
in cases where there was some irregu-
larity in legal proceedings or contracts.
do not hesitate to say that in my opin-
ion that act legalized nothing, and
that the street car company took
no move by virtue of this
act of 1879, than it was entitled TO under
the ordinance Of 1875, which the act in
terms attempted to legalize The new
ordinance of 1890 cann0t, in my opinion,
draw any life from the old ordinance. or
from any possible Equalization of the old
ordinance, but must stand OH its own
bottom, and while it may be construed
that the new ordinance has incorporated
in it some of the terms of the old ordi-
nance, which it refers to, still it can
make no legal connection with the old
ordinance, because it contemplates an
entirely new system of railway cars,
one not even thought of. or hardly
| dreamed of when the old ordinance
was passed. While it is system
unapproached by the old one for facili-
ties of rapid transit, yet it is one which
affects the public streets, to the incon-
venience of and danger to other meth
! DDS of travel in a measure altogether

BY HIS OWN HAND.
Anthony Petrasch Killed Himself
6 by Shot in the Head.

Anthony PetraSCh Killed Himself
Is by Shot in the Head.
The evening papers found bloody
mystery and murder yesterday, but the
coroner only found suicide. The cor
oner was right-a suicide without any
mystery. Anthony Petrasch, horse
sheer living at $40 Fourth street south,
and employed by G. A. Gray, the black
smith in the rear of 81 Fourth street
south. suicided by shooting himself in
the head only yesterday morning.
Last Saturday night, after getting his
pay, Petrasch started out on jamboree,
and became so enamOred of the cOndl-
ton that he found himself in at mid
night that he concluded to remain in 1T
as long as possible. He enjoyed himself
all day Sunday, and returned to his
Sharp-featured and somewhat ill-tem-
pered wife with one of his eyes hanging
out upon his cheek, the result of a fight
he had had. On Monday he left his
home ostenslbly to 90 to work, but
instead he bought a revolver and started
to look for the man who injured his eye.
He never returned to his wife alive.
Petrasch went to a saloon at the cor
ner of First avenue south and First
street and, taking possession of chair.
remained there from 10 O'Clock i'll the
forenoon until IL o'clock at night. lie
was stupefied from drink, and most OF
the time was in semi-uncOnSciouS COIL
dition. AT II o'clock he left the place
and wandered around until long after
midnight, when he started for home.
Some time during the early morning,
who live in the house heard a peculiar
sharp noise IN the hall, followed by the
sound of someone or something falling.
No one investigated, and Mrs. Petrasch
and the others fell asleep again. At 8
O'Clock, Frenchman. named Port. who
lives on the floor overhead, burst into
Mrs. PetraSch'S room and informed her
that her husband lay dead i'll the hall.
He lay upon his back with his eyes
opened wide and staring at the ceiling.
His lower jaw had dropped and black
ened tongue portruded in a ghaStly
manner. There was a pool of blood
under his head, and from it ran little
red stream which found an outlet in the
cracks in the floor.
Petrasch had evidently leaned against
the wall OF the narrow, dirty hallway
when he fired the fatal shot, for above
the WainScoting was clOt of blood and
brains, and then wide streak of the
SdiitG SOIy SuDSLdIiCC lCoClllllE W -bHC
floor. He had evidently placed the re-
volver close to the skull, for under the
right ear was a Jagged wound, the edges
of which were burned and blackened by
the powder. The bullet had penetrated
about an inch into the BRAN, and even
the edges of broken skull were black
ened and charred.
Coroner Byrnes was notified as soon
as the body was discovered, and he had
the remains removed to Gleason IL Nc
Allister's morgue, where, later in the
day, post norton was held. After a
thorough investigation Coroner Byrnes
decided that there was no doubt but it
was case of suicide, the evening pa
pers to the contrary Notwithstanding,
and no inquest will be held. Petrasch
was a Bohemian, and has several
brothers in the city.

HOLMAN Is IN DOUBT.
He Admits That His Views on
RetributiOn Are HaZy,

The paper read by Rev. f. o. Holman
before the Ministerial union Monday on
1.-The Revolt Against the Traditional
Doctrine of Retribution," is attracting
a good deal of attention among all peo-
pie who give any thought to religious
questions. In that paper in question
MI. Holman said very little ABOUT his
personal ideas OH the subject of retri-
button. In an interview yesterday he
spoke of his personal opinions as fol-
lows:
Il can hardly be said to have a settled
view as to the nat ure of retributiOn. 1t
seems to me that the question is still in
the, bands of the specialists. So far as
AMI able to judge, the teachings of
Christ seem to make the consequences
of sin cO-eXtenSiye with the rewards of
righteousness. Whether these conse-
quences are of such nature as to main
tain the sinner in conscious suffering
eternally, or whether they are of such a
Nature as to result in the obiteratiOn of
personality is to me, with my present
light, the. burning question. In other
words, If there is to be any relief from
the terrible implications of the tradi-
tional view, it seems TO me that it will
lie in the direction of the doctrine of
conditional immortality. If such doc
trlne can prove to be consistent with
the teachings of Jesus Christ, it seems
to me to be the most reasonable and
practicable theory of retribution."
The trouble isl said Rev. William
Wilkinson, in speaking of this matter
yesterday, that these ministers do not
face the question honestly. Either the
Bible does teach an endless punish
ment or it does not. They do not face
that question. 1t must be settled. 1t
cannot be left in condition of doubt.
Another thing: Many persons, minis
tiers as well as laymen, confound the
two doctrines of endless punishment
and retribution after death. One does
not mean the other. There can be retri-
button without endless punishment.

He said: sit is all nonsense that any
man in this city can be intimidated
through fear of the police TO withhold
facts from a grand jury. If there is
bribery or corruption why don't

willing to stand an indictment,

time. Let them come right out and give
us a chance to vindicate ourselves.

FAIR ARRANGEMENTS.
The Will Be for the Benefit OF Ath-
letiC Associations.

The Normanna Skating and Bicycle
clubs, which are practically the same,
are arranging for fair at NormaEna
hall for the benefit of the clubs. Last
winter the Normanna Skating club Sc
cured the old base ball grounds In South
Minneapolis, and fitted up the best
skating rink in the Northwest. The
same location affords all excellent op
portunity for establishing a bicycle
track. The clubs have done much
and are anxious to do more, to-
ward stimulating interest in and
appreciation of amateur athletics in
the Northwest. To do this it must
have money. Hence the fair. Inter
esting features will be provided each
night of the fair. One event will be
tug of war between the members of the
Normanna skating clubs and team
from the st. Paul Skating association.
There will be others to be announced
