MEN OF THE CLOTH.
The City Ministers Hold Their
RaouIa- Monday MeotinUs

The City Ministers Hold Their
Regular Monday Meetings.
The Baptist ministers at their meet
ing yesterday morning listened to the
reading OF an interesting paper by Miss
Lyford, the "friendly visitor' OF the
Baptist Sunday school. Miss Lyford
gave description of che sutferings of
the poor of the city, and pictured in
realistic manner the squalor and vice
met with in her trips through the poor
districts. She reciIed a number of sad
cases. and referred especially to the
condition of married woman who ar
rived in the city with her children ut
terly destitute. During the last three
years Miss Lyford has made 5000 calls,
and, to her knowledge, she has never
been imposed on but once.
At the meeting of the Methodist min
listers Rev. David Tice was called upon
for an explanation of the charges pre-
ferred against him by the Presbyteri-
ans. 1t appears that the Methodlsts
have been contemplating building a
church on Lowry hill. and had gone so
far as to purchase the stone for the
foundation when they learned that the
PresbyterianS were intending to build
dD Tic SdII6 punt. IlCN. L lCC says TIC
wrote to the presbytery asking them to
refrain from building OIL the corner of
Twentieth and Hennepin avenues. as
proposed, upon the ground that it would
be the better for the plan of church fed
Grafton. The presbytery, said Rev.
Tice, misconstrued the intent Of his
letter. The Methodist ministers ac-
cepted the explanation, and decided to
90 right ahead and build their church
on Lowry hill.
Rev. DR.. Burrell interposed his benign
countenance upon the meeting of the
Presbyterian ministers. He was called
upon to speak, and gave an interesting
exposition of the work he was doing in
New York He also spoke of the growth
of Presbyteriansm in New York and
said IL was advancing and increasing in
a healthy manner. After a sharp dis
cussion on the matter of the next meet
ing of the presbytery it was decided to
hold it In the spring, one week previous
to the meeting of the ST. Paul presby-
terry. The idea is to have the meetings
so close together that the country mill
listers can attend both without making
two trips.

New YORK, Nov. 14.-Among the
passengers who landed last evening
from the steamer La Bourgogne, from
Havre, was a weil-built, broad-should-
cred man in fashionable attire, whose
particularly upright bearing attracted
the attention of Special Customs In
spectors Brown ard Donovan. On .ex-
amining him more closely Inspector
Donovan noticed something larger than
a button bulging out at the back of his
tightly-titting fall 0vercoat. He was
taken into the examination room. and
despite his indignant protests was
obliged to remove his clothing. Then
it was found that he wore about his
body something between a woman'S
corset and life presei yer. In it were
pockets containing slxty-eight valuable
gold watches The watches were seized
and the man was locked up i'll the Lud-
low street Jail.
His name is Louis Marke. and he is a
resident OF some town in Washington,
where it is believed he keeps a JeWelry

valued at $4,000. The prisoner, when

ITS DAYS FEW.
The French Ministry in Danger
of Being OverthrOwn.

OF BENG OVertnrOWn.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE present week is
likely to be a momentous one for the
French cabinet. There is & growing
opinion that the ministry is only wait
ing a chance to die gracefully. The
chamber of deputies has already
abolished the duties on certain drink
ables against the advice of the min
listers. thus diminishing the revenue by
SS,OO0.O00 francs, and upsetting the
finance minister's budget schemes. On
Wednesday the government will press
its bill asking for power to suppress
violent anarchist papers. 1t is believed
that the chamber will reject the bill as
a mode of censuring the prime minister's
weakness In dealing with anarchists.
On Thursday the Panama canal queS-
ton will be debated, and this is likely
to bring OH crisis. The government
may elect to fall on either of these ques-
lions OF. on the Franco-Swiss c0nven-
ton. Should the ministry be over
thrown it is likely that M. Ribot, the
present minister of foreign affairs, and
De Freycinet, the present minister OF
war, will be retained in the renOdeled
cabinet. The outcome of the weeks
events is watched with great interest in
political circles. The radicals will not
lose an opportunity to overthrow the
present government.

He Exceeds His Authority as En-
Z ginecr of the Lighthouse Board.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Prof. T. G.
.Meldenhall, of the lighthouse board, has
made special report to the secretary
of the treasury in regard to the relief of
Col. Ludlow and Commander Heyer-
man from duty under the lighthouse
board. He states in his report that Col.
Ludlow, throughout his entire service
with the board as engineer of the Ninth
and Eleventh districts, had exhibited a
disposition to exceed his authority, to
be insubordinate, to treSpasS upon the
rights and authority Of other officers,
and to be disrespectful in his inter-
course with the board.
Col. Ludlow also made 1t appear that
the board was an obstacle in the way of
lighting st. Mary's river so that it could
be safely nayigated by night. while he
stood out as the champion and origi-
nator of this movement. He kept the
board in the dark as to his movements,
SO that it was enforced TO take steps
that had been misunderstood by many.
The secretary of the treasury has APP
proved the action of the board, and has
informed Col. Ludlow that if he seeks
further vindication he must move
through all army court OF inquiry.

DETECTIVES ARE SUSPICIOUS
A Robbery in Louisville Which
Has q Queer Look.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 14.-One of the
most peculiar robberies that ever took
place in Louisville occurred last night
at the wholesale branch office OF the
whisky house of n. Hotfheimer, OF CHI
cagO. About s o'clock A. Godsberg.
the agent. was found lying on the floor
of the warehouse bound and gagged.
while near him stood the safe with the
doors wide open and the papers from its
drawers scattered on the floor and partly
consumed by fire. The front door was
open and all the money i'll the safe was
gone. The detectives were called, but
could get no clue to the thieves.
Goldberg states that he came up to
the store about O'Clock in the after
noon to work Oh his books. He locked
the front door after him, and, opening
the safe, took out the books, and, laying
them on his desk, went to work. Sud-
denly he felt himself seized from be-
hlnu and knew nothing more until what
he believes to be several hours later.
Goldberg asserts that he believes that
the robbers were concealed in the cell
lar of tine store. Knowing his habit or
coming down Sunday afternoon and
opening the safe, and that as soon as he
became absorbed in his books they
slipped UP behind him, and throwing u
fowl saturated with chloroform over his
mouth, soon had him uncoIscioys; that
they took his watch, shirt stul and
about S120 in money from him, and then
rifrd the safe of about 800 and bust
ness papers.
The detectives, however, intimate
that there is something wrong with the
story. They declare that 1t is almost
impossible that Goldberg could have
been seized and bound, as he says,
within twenty feet of much frequent
ed street, and in plain view through the
glass front of the house. DR.. Grant,
who was called to attend Goldberg, says
the man had not been chlorOformed.9N o
motive is known, however, for Gold
berg working up fake, aud the matter
is left mystery. Goldberg did good
business both in buying and selling

ban Bank Note.
New YORK, Nov. 14.-Ihe police of
this city think they have unearthed and
frustrated what promises to develope
into big counterfeiting conspiracy.
Detective Sergeants John O'Brlen and
John Taylor, of the central Office, after
Swallowing" two men three or four
days, made the arrests in the case Fri
day night, but the matter was not made
public until the prisoners were ar
raigned in the tombs police court this
morning.
One of them described himself as
Manuel Rodriguez. a Spaniard twenty
five years of age. The other said he was
Thomas j. Parr, aged thirty. an English
man. The men attracted official atten-
ton by their inquiries in various places
for an engraver who could do fine work.
They saw an engraver, who, after see
ing them, told the detectives that they
offered him $500 to engrave a 50-pesos
note. 1t was to be a counterfeit of the
Bank of Spain Isle of Cuba Note" 1t
is believed that the Central and South
American states were to be flooded with
the bogus notes, but the men were

The Case of Lizzie Thorn pson.

The case of Lizzie Thompson, who
was fined $25 for selling liquor on cleo
ton day, has attracted the attention of
many to the fact that under the law
passed by the last legislature the mini
mum fine for such offense is fixed at
500, and the maximum at $500. This
would clearly place the case out
side the jurisdiction of the munich
pal court, as its jurisdiction does
not exceed the imposition of 500. But
Lizzie johnson was tried, not under the
state law, but under the city ordinance,
and as such the fine of S25 was per-
mlssible. But such fine does not pro-
hibit the state authorities from arresting
and finiEg her under the state law above
mentioned, as has been held by our SUI
preme court. Notwithstanding that 1t
seems to contravene the constitution,

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEENTH.
The Ward Is Liable to Have Its
Boundaries CHANGED.

The Ward Is Liable to Have Its
boundaries Changed.
The recent election las demonstrated
that some change should be made in
the boundaries of the Thirteenth ward.
The ward cast less than 600 votes. and
yet has as many votes in the council as
the Eighth ward, its neighbor, whose
every precinct shows as many voters as
the entire Thirteenth ward. The mat
ter is being discussed freely and may
end in the boundaries OF. the ward being
so changed that the dividing line will
be north and south on First avenue
south instead of east and west on
Thirty-sixth street, as at present.
The Eighth ward would then COM
prise a strip from Twenty-fourth street
to the city limits, between First and
Chicago avenues. The new Thirteenth
ward would reach from First avenue to
the western city limits, including the
large water area of Harriet, Calhoun.
Cedar and Lake of the Isles. If such a
change is made the ward will be left
with but one alderman, lnsomuch that
he would be the only alderman living
within the proposed boundaries. The
matter will come up at the next session
of the legislature.
