COST OF AIRING SPOTS.
An Addition of So Per Lot for the
Como and Phalen
Avenue.
No Action in the Phalen Case Until
the Park Board
Meets.

Tomorrow morning the board of pub
lie works will consider the completion
of the assessment for the opening and
widening of Lake Como and Phalen
avenues. The proposed Improvement
will make this driveway between the
two lakes 100 feet in width. The actual
cost of the work will be only 81, 7S4, but
the damages for the land and buildings
taken in order to widen the avenue will
| amount to $51, 0O0 This will of course
be assessed against the property owners,
and will make the assessment for each
| forty-foot lot along the avenue in the
neighborhood of Sc over and above the
| damages allowed.
The Phalen park assessment was to
have been considered by the board of
public works yesterday. The board,
however, took an adjournment in this
particular case until tomorrow mording.
This was necessary, owing to the failare
of the park board to hold meeting and
pass resolutions cutting off 80 of the 176
acres in the proposed park. The reduc-
ton Of the area in the park Is made
necessary in order that there shall be
no difficulty in spreading the assess
ment. The taking of the so acres will
not affect the lake frontage in the park,
and will cut the amount of the purchase
price down at least $l25000. This will
leave in the neighborhood of $4,000, to
be raised by assessment, as forty per
cent of the purchase price is paid from
the park fund. The Indian Mound
park assessment will come I'D tomorrow
at the same time as the PhaleR matter.

RUN DOWN AT LAST.
Principal of a Famous Kansas
Insurance Swindle Located
on the Coast.
spiratOrs to Furnish
Corpse.

New YORK, May "a morning pape
says that John w. Hillmon, the chief
conspirator in the famous "Hillmon in
insurance swindle in Kansas" has been
found. The attorney for the Mutual
Life Insurance company, which, with
the New York Life Insurance company
and the Connecticut Mutual company,
carried the $4,000 insurance which
Hillmon had on his life when he disap-
peared in 1878, in an interview yester-
day said:
1--WE have at last found Hillmon alive
and well, and know exactly where we
can lay our hands on him. After a
search extending over fifteen years, he
has been finally traced to the Pacific
coast and he has made clean breast of
the whole affair.
On March II. 1879. man was shot
and killed in desolate lumber camp on
Crooked creek by John II. Brown, a
partner of Hillmon's, who claimed the
shooting was accidental. He notified
farmer near by, who went with him
to view the body. The dead mans head
lay near the fire, and his head had been
burned, destroying his features partly.
Brown said the man was Hillmon, and
IiA0 oouy was Jul leu' DIOWH alter
ward confessed that he had en-
December, 1878, with HIllmon
and Levi Baldwin to defraud the
life insurance companies by insuring
Hillmon'S life. Baldwin was to furnish
the money, and Hillmon and Brown
were to manage the disappearance of
the former. They started for Wichita,
and on the way picked up strange
man named Joe Berkeley. This man,
Brown alleged, was shot by Hillmon, who
dressed the corpse in his own clothes
and put his diary in his pocket. Hill
mon put on Berkeley's clothing, and,
saying that there was corpse ready
made" to impersonate him, left the
camp. He told Brown that he would
assume the name of Marshall and lay
low until they got the money on the
policies.
After Brown had made this confess
sion it was discovered that he had lied.
The dead man was not Joe Berkeley,
but Frederick Adolph Walters, a young
German cigarmaker. of Fort Madison,
To-, who had gone to Lawrence i'll 1878,
and who disappeared about the same
time that HillmOn died. This brought
the matter down to plain case of muir
uCls III WHICH UOllu IL DlOWu dllu Hill
mon were the principals, with Levi
Baldwin and Mrs. Hillmon as acces-
series before the fact. In the mean
time Mrs. Hillmon had travelled much,
and the companies concluded that
by following her they could find
her husband. This clue failed, as
she married again. However, the de-
tectives employed by the insurance peo-
pie kept steadily at work on the case
and finally succeeded in running down
the principal in the sWindle. 1t is I'M
derstood that he consented readily
enough to make a clean breast of the
affair in order to clear himself of the
charge that he had killed Walters. This
crime, according to the detectives, he
lays at Browns door. The latter has
been kept under surveillance, and it is
probable that all the conspiratorS will
be brought up on criminal charges If
the insurance companies make good
their claims regarding the identity of
the man who has been identified as
Hillmon.

SPRING IS HERE.
And So Is the First Snake
Story of the Sea-
son.
@. H. Manship's Experience With
Varmints at Bald
Eagle.

What In the world is the matter? is
the query that has been put to Charles
II. Manship, the business-like and hust-
ling solicitor for the gas company, by
many acquaintance for the past day or
two. 1t is noticeable fact that MIR.
Manship looks careWorn, and at times
his body would shake as with acute
ague, his eyes fairly dancing and
his tongue darting in and out
like a serpents. Mr.. Mans hip ex-
planned by telling the following
remarkable story: You know that 1
have a garden and residence at Bald
Eagle near the lake. Well, the boys and
| were clearing off a part of the ground
Sunday, and in spot near the grove
where there is small mound there was
a large collection of leaves and rubbish.
This we set fire to, and in little while
were alarmed to see the mass almost
moving. In moment more we found
that it was alive with serpents that were
wriggling about. The serpents Kissed
and wriggled and their eyes glistened
like emeralds IN the light of the burn
ing mass, and tongues darted in and out
from hundreds of open-mouthed SER
penis making a sight that made my
hair stand on end and my flesh creep.
Some of the serpentS made their way
out Of the fire, and 1 found that they
were only garter snakes of a harmless
variety. The fire died out, and still the
snakes came from the ground, and we
alta cked them and began killing with
clubs. saw large ball of the snakes,
much larger than my head, and, taking
an ak. chopped into it. Many OF them
were chopped into pieces by the blows
l laid upon the ball, and others began
to wriggle about my feet. l could stand
the narrowing fight no longer and re-
treated distance to rest while. Again
my sons and attacked the reptiles, and
we killed over 500 of them in all. l

sight," he said with a shudder, land [

course, they were not dangerous, as
they are harmless. They ranged in size

they had remembered to pat on their
wells, but had forgotten their bonnets.
One Of these airy nothingS is of black
lace touched with gilt. and bears a let
agrette mounting guard over two in
hnlteslmal feathers. A much larger
bonnet is of white crepe. in contrast
with black lace and soft. broad black
ostrich tips. For the poke bonnets
which are knocking at fashions door,
null strings are in favor, and help to
give the desired appearance of old
times.
One of the details everywhere to be
noted i'll millinery matters is the pres
emf use Of straw braid as an ornament.

COAL RATES CUT.
Charters From Buffalo to Duluth
Made at so Gents.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 9.-There is
quite stir in local marine circles over
the cutting of coal rates. From the
opening of navigation until Friday last
rates had been steady at so cents for
Duluth tonnage, when a cut of 10 cents
was made. This was followed by drop
in Lake Michigan rates from go to 80
cents. Late yesterday afternoon a fur
ther cut in Duluth rates was made when
charter was made at 80 cents. What
the outcome Of this cut will be remains
to be seen. 1t is conceded that business
in marine circles has not been so dull In
many years.
CLEVELAND, o., May 9.-The Lake
Michigan coal rate from Cleveland has
been cut another 10 cents. Boats are
now placed to load for Milwaukee at 30
cents and the EScanaba rate is 40 cents

Several Interesting Suits
Among the Court DoingS
Yesterday.

The supreme court sat down, with
little ceremony and considerable force,
upon the common council of the city OF
Duluth in decision rendered yester-
day. 1t is the case of The State of Min
nesota eX REL, James Hart and others,
REALTORS, agains 1.-THE Common Council of
City of Duluth and others, respondents,
that is referred to. 1t seems that the
council removed the board of fire COM
missloners from office. The charter pro-
vide5 that a member OF, the board OF
commissioners may be removed upon a
two-third's vote of the council for cause,
and the syllabus relates:
l. Where the power of municipal
body to remove from office is not dis
cretionary, but only for cause after
notice and hearing, the proceedings are
judicial in theil nature and may be re-
viewed OH certiorari.
2. On such review the court will ill.,
spect the record to see whether the body
had jurisdiction and kept within it, and
whether the charges preferred were
sufficient in law, and will examine the
evidence, not for the purpose of weigh
ing it, but to ascertain whether it fur
niShed any legal and substantial basis
for the removal.
8. Such bodies being essentially leg
iSlative aud administrative, their pro-
ceedings, even when judicial in their
nature, are not to be tested by the strict
legal rules which prevail i'll courts OF
law. If they keep within their juris-
diction, and the evidence furnishes
legal and substantial basis for their de-
cSion, it will not be disturbed for mere
informalities or irregularities which
might amount to reversible error III the
proceedings of a court.
4. Sufficient cause" means legal
cause. and must be one that especially
relates to and affects the administration
of the office-one touching the qualitica-
tons of the officers or his performance
of its duties.
5. While the charges need not be
stated with the formal eXactneSS re-
Quired in pleadingS in courts, yet they
should contain specification Of facts,
constituting a cause for removal, with
responsible precision sufficient to in
form the incumbent of the particular
grounds upon which the charges are
based.
6. The sufficiency and reasonableness
of the charges are questions OF law for
the court.
Z. The city charter of Duluth vests
the power of removing the fire commits
sionerS from office exclusively in the
common council. and a resolution of
that body preferring charges against
such commissioners and fixing time
and place of hearing is not one which
requires the approval of the mayor.
s. The charges in the case conSid-
cred and held insufficient.

SMITH is RELEASED.
Satisfactory Arrangements Made

by Telegraphing.
Lewis o. Smith. arrested by opera
tives of the Thiel agency Monday night,
was released from custody last night.
The facts leading to Smiths arrest, as
mentioned in the GLOBE yesterday, were
correct, but itappears the circumstanc
Of the case prior to the arrest were
somewhat misleading. Smith was in
business in Kansas City in 1890, and at
that time the bottom dropped out of the
real estate market. This nearly bank
rupted him. and. as he had no ready
cash, he took his departure. At the time
he left he was indebted to Mrs. Blake
more to the extent Of $1,000. AS soon
as the news of his arrest reached his
father at LIE Sueur, Smith Sr. started
for st. Paul and arrived were yesterday
morning. Telegraph communication
was at once opened with Mrs. Blake
more, and, after more or less messages
had been sent and received, satlsfac-
tory settlement was made, and the
agency here wired that Smiths presence
was not needed in Kansas City. Mr..
Smith left last evening for Montana.
