THE AXE ALL READY.
Street Commissioner STANLEY
Selected as a Victim to
Reform.
He Will Walk the Plank I'm
less the Board Stands
by Him.
Costly Sunday Morning Fire
at the Great North
- '9'e Shops.
The Forging Department Is
Burned and One Man
Badly Hurt.

Rumor has it that several changes
will be- made in the force of street COM
mIssioners at an early day. The pres
ent street commissioners. six in num-
Der, are appointed by the city engineer
with the consent and approval of the
board of public works. Charles 3.
Stanley is the head commissioner and
capable man. but Stanley, it is
claimed, was strictly partisan dur
ing the last election, and in
consequence will have to walk
the plank. This has been decided upon
by the mayor and others OF the re-
form council, aud all that is necessary
is to find some excuse for the Gecapita-
ton. 1t has been said that Mr.. STANLEY
was Informed his resignation would be
acceptable, but for some reason he re-
fuses to tender it. When asked about
it, Mr.. Stanley said he had not a word
to say for publication, and when Ques-
toned very closely about the mat
ter refused to answer at all.
The man slated for Shanley's place, in
case he can be ouSted. is John Maher,
who at present is street commissioner
and has charge of the First and Second
wards. Mr.. Maher did good work dur
ing the campaign. the most important
move made by him being the marching
of Il gang of Italian laborers around the
wards on Dayton's bluff on registration
days. The effect of his Italian hands,
as it were, at the time was
such as to make his demand
for reward carry with it a deal of
weight. Should Stanley be dropped,
Maher is to be given the place, and p.
l.. Dawson, another of the ''reformers,"
will be appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by Makers promotion. John
Safranek is another of the street com
missioners who will have to go. SAT-
ranek didn't work during the cleo
ton to suit the "reformers."
and Albert Thomashek, it is
reported. is the name Of the
faithful g. o. p. patriot who will be
given the job. As il stands now, all de-
ponds on the action taken by the city
engineer and board of public works in
the matter. If these officials ''stand up
to the gum the chances are that the re-
formers will not carry their scheme
through, at least until some excuse or
charge can be made which will result
in the discharge of the two commis-
sionerS mentioned.

FIERCE SUNDAY BLAZE,
Destruction Of the Smithy Of the
Great Northern Shops.

Destruction Of the Smithy Of the
Great Northern Shops.
Fire did considerable damage TO the
blacksmith5a boiler shops connected
with the Great Northern repair plant at
Jackson street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. yesterday afternoon. The fire was
discovered shortly before 1 o'clock by
the Waterman, and when first noticed
seemed to be in the roof of the black
smith shop. An effort was made to ex-5
tinguish the flames with small chem
ical engine, which is kept on the ground.
The effort was not much of
success. and twenty minutes after the
fire was first seen an alarm
was turned in. calling out the
fire department. The building is one
story and half stone structure, and
about all there was to burn was the roof
and shaftingS used for the machines.
The fire had obtained considerable head
way by the time the firemen arrived,
and it took two hours hard work to eX-
tlnguish the blaze. The building is
about 200 feet long by 80 wide, with an
addition. The blacksmith shop occupies
about two-thirds of the structure, and
the boiler shop the other part. The adj

cry used in the two shops. The esti-
mates as to the loss vary greatly,
one of the officials placing the damage
at $4,000. while another said it would
not be more than $50, 900, if it reached
that. In the blacksmith shop, which
was the most damaged, were number
of valuable machines, including steam
trip hammers, bolt machines, spring
testers. aud the damage will be greater
or less, according to the damage done
the machinery. The engine which fur
nished the power was damaged some
what, and it will take a day or so to re-
pair it. The force of 100 men employed
in the blacksmith shop and % men in
the boiler shop are not to be laid Off
by the fire, as power will be furnished
from one of the other adjoining shops, a
gang of men being put to work yester-
day afternoon to arrange for this. The
damage to the building will not reach
$1,000. Mike Kelly, locomotive fire.

THE WEST SIDE PARK.
A Whitening Roast on the Kick

A whitening Roast on the Kick
ers Who Pay No Taxes.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The people of the West side know
what "solid kicking is when it comes
to question of parks. Nothing will
arouse their interest SO much as the
location of public park. The MAIN
reason for this is that everybody wants
one immed lately in front of his own
door. If he caniot have that, why he
doesn't want any at all. Some twenty
years ago some forty acres of Sam Dear
ing's COW pasture might have been
bought for park purposes for what
three or four lots in that neighborhood
now cost, but all the rest of the not too
numerous inhabitants of the ward
"kicked." About twelve years ago the
whole of the beautiful plateau in Wood
bury & Cases addition, on which part
of the at present proposed park is To-
Gated, could have been bought for about
$4,000 or $1,000, but the same howl that
the people would be ruined-by assess
ments went up then as now. During
the ''boom" nobody had time to think
OF parks. but. after that had subsidized,
necessary to beautify the ward so as
to draw more people to live on
this side. o yes. everybody wanted
parks then, and the park COM
missionerS were very roundly
abused for not procuring them for us.
But they must be in throwing distance
from everybody and they should no.
cost anything to anybody. AS that
could not be, there was trouble the
minute anybody suggested or attempt
ed to locate park on a certain tract of
land. A block east of Prospect plateau
and close to the Kansas City tract was
one of the first suggested with the
usual result; then parties secured leg
islation to condemn block in Ban
ming IL Olivier'S addition and had al
ready named it McManus park, but
kickers had the assessment upset in tile
courts and the park board abandoned
it. This attempt Was followed by one

UNIQUE AND GOOD.
Pleasing Innovations of the Prim-
rose & West N1instre!s.

VI tho
rose & West N1instrels.
That was an excellent minstrel show
given at the Metropolitan last evening
by the Primrose d West company, and
to large audience. 1t is undoubtedly
fact that minstrel shows are falling
into the sere and yellow leaf, but if more
of them were on the plan of the enter
tainment of last night, revival would
ensue. An effort was made to es-
chew everything in the chestnut
line. and the result was the
most original show of the char
acter ever seen in st. Paul. The OPEN
ing or minstrel half was decided inno-
vatlon. being of the ''Mikado" variety,
with Kokos in place of bones and tam
hos and Pooh Bahs for interlocutors.
The costuming and stage setting were
in harmony with the idea, and the eff
feet was strikingly pretty and unique.
In this part the music was good, and the
humorous endeavors were really enjoy
able. The medley introduced very good
singing, dancing and speciality work.
Throughout. the performance is an I'M
usually good one, and decidedly the best
that has been given in the city time out
of mind.

MAY BE SECRET AGAIN.
The Murphy Saloon Question to
Come Up Today.

The joint license committee will hold
a meeting this afternoon. The last
meeting of this committee was held be-
hind closed doors in the mayors eff &c.
1t was said to have been an informal
affair, and for that reason was not of in
terest to the public. Whether the meet
ing today will lie an executive session
is not known. The business to be
transacted is on the communica-
ton sent to the assembly by
Mayor Wright regarding the manner in
which E. l.. Murphy conducts his saloon
on st. Peter street. The mayor said in
his letter that the investigation should
be made with view to the revocation
Of Murphy's license. The revocation
can only be made by the committee on
license from the council, who under the
law are given absolute power.

THE CONTEST IN MrcHfeAN.
Tn rec Democratic State OfIicers Claimed to
BE Elected.

Three Democratic State OfRcers Claimed to
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
DETROIT, NICE. Nov. 2-There is now no doubt
that a part Of the democratic state ticket has
been elected Chairman Campau Of the DEM
ocratic state central committee has claimed
from the first the election Of William Newton
for justice Of the supreme court. Adolphus A.
Ellis FOR attorney general and George T.
Shaffer for commissioner of the state land Office.
They were on both the democratic and peoples
tickets. There is still quite a difference OF
opinion between the two state central commit
tees as to the extent Of the republican plurality
on President in Michigan. The democratic
committee comedies something over 5, 900. the
republican committee claims something under
12,000. Reports received by telegraph at the
democratic headquarters this morning from
the chairmen of the democratic committees Of
forty-two OF the eighty-four counties Of the
state show a total vote for Ewing
popuhst candidate for governor. Of II. 472 This
vote would wipe out the republican plurality,
even II it was what the republican state central
committee claim. and leave a safe majority for
the capdidates who were on both tickets. II
the democratic committees claim is correct
then Ellis, Newton and Shaffer are elected
by more than 6 1000 plurality. The Joint vote
OF both parties on governor il an excellent in
dication Of what the vote will be on those Offices
for which they have joint nominations The
election Of Attorney General Ellis and Judge
Newton is regarded by the democratic state
central committee as Of the highest importance
for the future.

He IL Not Disheart~ned--He VIII Return
to IndIannPolis.

NEW YORK, Nov l2-Mr Russell r. Hsrri-
son, son Of the President, was at the Plaza Hotel
today and saw Chairman Carter. A reporter
asked him whether there was any truth in the
report that his father intended to live in Bos-
ton after he retired from the White House.
he stated chat the President would return to
Indianapolis and pass the remainder Of his
days among his associates and friends. He
spoke Of the great family affection. and inti-
mated that his father was not disheartened By
the result of the election, because he could re-
tire TO quiet life now
de did not care TO speak at length upon the
result OF the election. but added: Il think my
father is proud Of the good showing made In
Indiana. Two wears ago the state gave the
democrats a majority of 10000 and now they
only carry il by 5000, showing a republican
gain OF IL 900. Ii was not even doubtful state.
for the democrats had carried il last fall
Other states that were conclusively republi-
can until the election proved the contrary are
the ones that cause surprise. Look at Ohio,
which gave Mckinley q majority Of 10000 or
more when he was elected governor.
and which has always been con-
sidered a republican state in national wears.
and consider the great revolution wrought there.
In view Of the overwhelming change OF votes
IN that state certainly think the President Ia
cause to be proud of his own state and the
great gains he made in two years
Montana" continued Mr. Harrison, sis an
other state that makes splendid showing. Ii
had always gone democratic until 1889, and the
victory there the other day lie proof that the
republican sentiment was uppermost."
