The Very Peculiar Case of
Annie Bruder and Ed

Board Of Equalization Work
Ended--Was Aid. Billings
Murdered?

Last nights special council meeting
was short and sweet. The important
business transacted was the passing OF
resolutions and ordinances ordering
public improvements. The interesting
South side railroad crossing matter
came up for lively discussion. The
committee of twenty-five citizens ap-
pointed at the meeting held last
Tuesday night at Tollefson'S hall,
was present, and Aid, Lackey
as their official representative
insisted upon the chairman being heard.
The chairman was Rev. j. b. St;pfkey,
and when he was accorded the privilege
of the floor he voiced the sentiments of
the South side in an eloquent manner.
He stated that the sentiment of the
South side was to have the tracks left
as they are at present. He was backed
up by the rest of the committee. The
crossing matter. however. was not set
tied, it being decided to postpone final
action until the meeting on Aug. 20.
Mayor Winston submitted COM
munlcatiOn in which he vetoed the res
Olution for paving Franklin avenue and
Sixth aud Tenth avenues north. He
vetoed the resolution OIL the ground that
the charter forbade the appropriation
for public improvements of more than
the amount on hand to the credit of the
corresponding fund. The veto was sus-
tanned, though thirteen of the alder
men were in favor of passing it
over his head. The petition for dam
ages by the recent flood by residents in
the vicinity of Bassett's creek. was
presented and referred to the committee
on claims. The death OF ex-Aid.

ASSESSMENTS EQUALIZED.
End Of the Labors of the County
Board,

Board.
The county board of equalization has
at length completed its duties. The
board met again yesterday, land, after an
all-day session, cleared up the slate
and adjourned sine die. The matter of
the assessment of Crystal village has
been the sticking point. Thej villagers
on the eastern side objected to the valu-
alton as made by the village board Of
review. They claimed the assess
ments made on the western side
of the village were too low.
They won the day. AS to the main
points at variance the special committee
recommended that all unplatted lands
in the village be raised 90 per cent. and
that the following lands be raised an
additional 20 per cent, making a total
raise of 40 per cent: Sections 3, 4, 5, 6,
20. q, in township 1lS, range 81. These
sections take in almost the entire west
ern portion of the village.
The valuation of all other land as re-
turned by the assessor was raised as
follows:
In Brooklyn. 10 per cent; Champlin,
20; Corcoran, 5; Dayton. 10; Eden
Prairie. 125; Greenwood. 80; Independ-
ence, rs; Maple Grove, 10; Medina,

pied by Nathan II. Russ. village re-
cOrder, was increased to $1O0 per acre.
Several other minor alterations were
also made.

INVASION OF CUBA.
The Story Set Afoat Believed to
Be Untrue.

KEW WEST, Fla, Aug. 5.-Inquiry
fails to reveal any filibustering expedi-
ton to invade Cuba from this
point. No unusual activity is
noticed among Cuban sympathizers
other than tue frequent holding Of Sc
cret meetings and raising funds for the
future. Federal officers have been ad-
vised from Washington, aud are taking
steps to Illustrate the plans and prevent
the departure, if attempted. The COL
lector of customs today telegraphed
the revenue cutter cruising along
the west coast to return here
and strict surveillance will be kept over
al! vessels arriving and departing from
this harbor. Inquiry at the Spanish
consulate shows that the Spanish gov
eminent has also been appraised of the
movement, and kilograms have been
passing between consulS of the
United States and thier superiors
during the past tweuty-four hours. No
alarm, however, is manifested, and am
assured that no expedition will sail in
the near future, as all prominent lead
ers are now absent and under espionage
of Spanish agents. Furthermore, no
unusual precautions will be taken to
prevent the departure by the Spanish
authorities, as it is believed that the Of
fcialS in Cuba. being promptly advised.
can prevent the landing.

A BOLT OF LIGHTNING.
The SWEET Manufacturing Com
pany'S Plant DESTROYED.

1t would seem that fate had an es-
pecial grudge against RobinsdaIe. An
other large manufacturing establish
ment was destroyed by fire yesterday
morning. About 4:30, during the heav-
lest part of the storm, lightning struck
the plant owned and operated by the
SWEET Manufacturing company. The
plant consisted of two two-Story frame
buildings and a brick engine house
The flames soon enwrapped the build
lngs, and as the little town has 10 fire
protection, it was not long be-
fore they were in ashes. The
high wind carried the flames to
the barn and ice house belonging to
John Trump, the grocer. ard destroyed
them. Mr.. 'Trump's store and residence
were saved by the sudden shifting of
the wind. Two chemical engines from
the city arrived Oh the scene after a
hard run, but too late to do any work.
The company's business is the manu-
facture of wheelbarrows. The fire con-
seQuently destroyed considerable vaIua-
bic hardwood lumber stored in the
buildings, aside from the other stock
and machinery. Mr.. SWEET ST.. esti-
mates the losses at $4,000, covered by
$4,000 worth OF insurance.

The City Board Of Equalization
Concludes Its Business.
The city board of equalization con-
cluded its labors yesterday morning
after a session of twenty-three days.
At the conclusion of yesterdays meet
ing the members of the board were
treated to feast of fruits and tobacco
by Assessor Plummer, who desired to
show his appreciation for their efficient
work. The tobacco was in the shape of
cigars. and between puffs the board
listened to short speech by the asses
ssOr. The board has accomplished dur
ing its session something no other
board during the past ten years has
accomplished. This something is the
settlement of the question involving
the lumber, milling and elevator inter
ests of tine city. The assessed valuation
OF these enterprises has been a source
of much wOrriment to the city assessor
heretofore. but the true valuation has
at last been amicably arrived at. max
ing difference of half-million of dol
lars in the city's assessed valuation.
There was but little cnange in the
real estate valuation, changes being
made in butthree tracts. In a few eases
reductions were made in buildings. due
to slight oversight in making the val
uatiOn. This, however, is of small mo-
ment, when it is considered that the
city has "a. ZOO buildings, :"hOse assessed
valuation is $50 100000.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
Not Always Sweet Or Undisturbed
Among the Quakers.

Among the Quakers.
Philadelphia Record.
The survival of an old Quaker custom,
a reminder of the troublesome times of
a century ago, when marriage laws were
lax even among the staid Quakers,
makes it compulsory still for the lads
and lasses of the society who con-
template matrimony to submit their
proposals to the meeting, and await the
decision of committee appointed to i'll

This is done in writing, signed by them
both in the following form: "TO the

Thereupon committee of two men
and two women, chosen from among the
most intimate friends of the young
couple. is appointed to inquire into the
past history of the young couple with a
view to determining their eligibility.
If the woman be of the type popularity
known as the summer girl-which is
seldom the case-the committee must
see that she is clear from other similar
engagements. Should she be widow
with children, the rights of the latter
must be secured. The committee must
also learn whether the couple be nearly
related by consanguinity, in witch case
the marriage is discouraged. The hab-

How They Made Things Pleasant
for the Park Board.

for the Park Board.
The park board committee on designa-
ton of grounds met yesterday afternoon
to discuss the perplexing First ward
park matter. There was large attend
ance of First ward citizens. and the dis
cussion INDUCED in during the meeting
was interesting, to say the least. The
citizens were present to protest against
the purchase of the proposed park
property. They did protest, and vigor-
ously, too. The whole matter was
nothing more nor less than steal
for private gain and a real estate
deal which would benefit the owners of
the property, but no one else, they said.
Among those who advanced the more
interesting arguments were Mike Hoy,
James Patterson and gentleman
named Donahue. During one heated
period, Mr.. Hoy referred to Mr.. Patter-
son in the following playful manner:
you're thief. You stole $1,000
worth of stone in front of your place
when you had the street opened there -
YOU'RE a liar!" was the emphatic re-
joinder of MIR. Patterson. / never heard
of the stone matter before"
Mir. DOnahue, in protesting against
the park, said that the First ward did
not need the park and did not want it.
Mr.. Hoy thereupon Informed the COM
mittee that Mr.. Donahue's reasons for
opposing the park and his (Hoy'S) in
terests were that when he was a mem

matter. Mr.. Donahue, in reply
stated it was true he had applied for a
position on the ''foorce" and he was
sure the reason he did not &c tit was be.
cause he did not do 10 Mr.. Hoy as others
who secured positions had done. The
meeting was replete with these little
pleasantrles and sallies. The committee
finally decided that so much dorllery
was not conducive of good results as
regards the park board, so adjourned
the meeting without accomplishing
anything.
