Mr.. Byrnes recollected distinctly of
opening the box, and said he didn't un-
lock it.
AS to whether Mr.. Goodrich had the
combination to the box or not, Timothy
didnt know, but it might be so. The
case then closed for the morning, and
Son-in-law Tim. as he stepped Off the
stand, walked over to Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodrich and made Chesterfeldian
DOW, which was not acknowledged.
On the resuming of court the defend
ant again resumed to the stand. A dis
cussl0n arose as to the introduction of
certain evidence to which the plaintiffs
attorneys objected, but the court over
ruled the objection, and then the de-
PENDANT went ahead and told of the set

MIS-. Goodrich. Up to this time all the
business transacted had been carried on
Mr.. Byrnes' books. The Evergreen
mortgages had before that time been en-

should any contingency arise, to save
himself, Mr.. Goodrich had requested
the defendant to deed over all his prop
erty, so as to save their interests.
what was the amount of your indebt-
edness to Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich at the
time OF these transactions?" asked Judge
FISH, and the witness stated it was
about SD, 6G6.66. Byrnes said that up to
that time nothing had been SAID to him
by Goodrich or any one else about the
alterations in the two satisfactions. He
said there had never ceen word said to
him until the filing of the complaint in
the present action. This ended the case
for the day,and a recess was taken until
10 O'Clock this morning.

this responsibility upon the administra-
ton alone should be sufficient pledge.
The public should not prejudice the
cause. Let them wait until they can
form an intelligent opinion from actual
results. The hue and cry that has al
ready been raised is without good cause,
and has its origin in
Partisan Plotting and Waneuvering
to make political capital. The principle
agltators are political opponents OF the
administration in the council and out of
1t. Their ceaseless effort is to entrap
the administration - to crowd or in
velgle it into some blunder which can
be used to its prejudice with the public.
Thus far no serious mistakes have
been made. The administration has
not been perfect by any means,
but the public records will show
that the city has never been more or
derby. life and property have never
been safer, and the public business has
never been more economically and eff
GENTLY managed than during the last
fifteen months. Looking back on my
official acts l can conscientiously say,
so far as can see, there is not single
one of them that will not stand the test
OF any fair and candid criticism. Most
asSuredly l shall not shrink from
any just comparison of the rec
ords of my administration with that
of any of my predecessors. Minneapo-
lis is law-abiding, peace-loving. order

than to see that the city maintains that
splendid reputation and prestige so long
as am its official head. The public
must be fair and tolerant, and not be
led into denunciation of. and antagon-
ism to, the authorities by the
Vaccinations of scheming par
tisans and overzealous reformers.
There is going to be no wide
open policy nor anything like it. To
pretend that there will be no violation
of the laws and regulations would be
absurd. The government of city of
nearly 100000 people is big thing. 1t
is easy TO point out defects in the gov
eminent, and suggest how things should

ministration that it will endeavor to do
its duty faithfully, and discharge all its
obligations to the people with an eye

Bergman's Second Day.

There was even a larger attendance
at the trial of Charles Bergman yester-
day than on the day previous. when it
was begun. The first witness called
was E. II. Ludke, the foreman in the
foundry where the trouble which re-
suited in young Myricks death oc-
CURED. His story was practically a
repetition of the story told by Peterson
Monday. Swan AdamsOn, of the mold
,ers, was put on the stand. and told his
story briefly and concisely. He saw
Bergman stoop down and pick up
''gate stick" and throw it at Myrick. 1t
struck the latter in the side of the head
and he fell. Mrs. Myrick, the mother
of the dead boy, then took the stand,
her testimony merely going to prove the
boys death. The skull of Myrick was
exhibited to the jury at the conclusion
of her testimony, at the sight of which
she broke down completely. DR.. Foster,
who attended the injured boy, and
William Gould, the assistant, testified,
and the state rested. At the afternoon
session Attorney Penney made the
opening address on behalf of the de-
tense, which was coached in language
relative to the man on trial that vlsibly
affected those present. The case will
scarcely reach the jury today.

Mayor Winston attached his signature
yesterday morning to all of the Ordi-
nanceS and resolutions passed at the
last council meeting, including the
famous amended liquor ordinance, and
the council proceedings are now in the
hands of the printer awaiting official
publication. The bitter fight OH this
ordinance has by no means ended with
the approval of the MAYOR. and there
will be another struggle at the next
meeting of the council on the Goth inst.
AT that time the opposing Republicans
will make desperate effort to amend
the minutes of the last meeting so as to
eXpunge from the records completely
all record of the proceedings from the
time Aid. Lowell declared the meeting
adjourned and left the chair, and the
question which now agitates them and
the public generally is, how will the
five Republicans who voted for the
amendment conduct themselves?
The city clerk, in recording the events
OF the latter portion of the meeting, has
displayed considerable policy and
tinesSe, and the record is as inotfenSive
as possible to both sides. 1t reads as
follows:
Aid Bradish moved to adjourn. Aid. Low
ell. in the chair declared the motion 10 adj
Journ adopted. Aid. Kiichli rose to q point
OF order. and asked for a division of the
house before Aid. Lowell left the chair. Aid
Lo ell ruled Aid. Kiichli out of order. Aid.
knchll appealed from the decision Of the
chair. Aid. Lowell renewed his ruling that
the council was adjourned. and stated that
he had declared the council adjourned be-
fore all appeal had been taken or a call of
tie ayes and nays had been made There
upon Aid. Lowell left the chair Aid. Kiichli
being at the time upon the floor claiming rec
ognition from the chair, denonncing the
ruling or the chair as unfair, calling for a
division of the house, and while repeated
calls were being made for the ayes ard nays
by, Aid Haynes, Rand, Lackey, Kiichli and
take the chair. Adopted. Aid. Haynes took
the chair and called the members to order
If the Republicans succeed in having
the proceedings of the fifteen eXpunged
from the records, this action will carry
the amended ordinance with it. All
eyes are now turned toward the five Re-
publican aldermen who favored the
measure. and there is considerable
speculation as to whether they will
stand pat or lie bluffed into line by their
party. If they stand by their former
action the records cannot be changed,
even though the presence of Aid.
Grimes and Parry will swell the nine
opposing votes to total of eleven: but
if three of them weaken the alteration
may be made. In Democratic circles it
is claimed that the five will not alter
their position in this matter, as they have
already gone so far that TO turn back
would do them no good with the Repub-
lican party and would lose them any
friendship they may have gained from
the Democrats.

ANUS DEMENT'S.

With not less power did Nine. Mod
1esRa depict the woes of the most IN
happy Mary Stuart, at the Grand last
night, than with delicacy she revealed
the emotions of gentle Rosalind the
night before. The character of Mary
Stuart calls for definite portrayal. The
actress who essays the work may not
give rein to her fancy; she must follow
a line laid down by uncompromising
history. Modjeska does this. In no
particular does she deviate from the
character of the unhappy queen of Scot
land as painted by the historian. And
the play itself is singularly impartial.
The reasons why it was eXpedlent for
Elizabeth to decree the death of Mary
are made equally as prominent as the
reasons for clemencv. There is no
cOquettIng with romance in the play.
Nine Modjeska demonstrated her
emotional ability all through the play;
her power was shown in the scene with
Elizabeth at the close of the third act,
when, from a pleading suppliant she
rose to an accusing sovereign. The
company appeared to excellent adj
vantage. The strong work of Howard
Kyle, as Sir Edward Mortimer, is es-
pecially to be commended.

CRUSADERS AFTER LYONS.
Pat Lyons Arrested for Keeping
Open on SUNDAY.

The crusaders, it appears, have de-
termined not to recognize the action of
the council in regard to the Sunday
liquor ordinance as final. and to con-
tinue their prosecution of these cases
until the validity of the amended ordi-
nance is decided by the courts.
Pat Lyons, who keeps the now notori-
Gus wine rooms at the corner of First
street and First avenue south, appeared
in the police court yesterday oil war
rant sworn to by W. S. Briggs, in which
he is charged with having failed to close
his saloon Sunday, Feb. IA, ana up to
the hour when the clerks Office closed
the complaint had not been indorsed
"Drop this. r. r. H." as on the occasion
of previous arrest. Lyons pleaded mot
guilty" to the charge, and the case was
set for Feb. 10. This case will not be
affected by the amended ordinance, az
the ordinance was not in force when the
OffenSe was committed. but it is under
stood that the crusaders propose to enter
more complaints as soon as the ordi-
nance has been officially published, for
the purpose of testing its legality.

James Was a Kicker.

Among the new suits begun yesterday
was one filed for divorce by Bridget
Laing. A startling tale of cruelty is
alleged, which, if true, proves James B.
Laing, the wOman's husband. as any,
thing but mild-mannered individual.
Bridget and James were married in 1869.
and have five children. She alleges. in
support of story of one of her hubby's
peculiaritieS, that he has developed a
mania for kicking her and her children
out of their home regularly once a wear.
This popularity of his developed first
in rs, and up 10 the present, without
overlooking single year, he has thrown
her out into the streets. One night in
1880, she claims, lie turned her and her
children out in their night clothes.
When she sent an officer next day for
her clothing James tried to kill the
policeman, for which he was arrested
and served eleven weeks in the work
house. On another occasion. she re-
cites, he drove her out, and three of the
children were obliged to sleep in a
chicken coop all night. as there was no
room at the neighbors for them. Laing,
she claims, is worth $1,000 and has a
yearly income of $4,000. She asks for a
division of the property. alimony and
the custody of the minor children.
