ployed.

The passage by the council Of the res
olution placing $1,000 more in the fund
for unemployed labor had the effect OF
crowding the public bureau for the I'M
employed in the court house yesterday.
The visitors, however, had their trouble
for nothing, as the secretary explained
to the men that only Is men would be
put to work on the streets next week,
aud this number would be selected from
the 1880 men who had registered and
had worked less than week. There
are a:'out 100 men at work Oh the streets
this week, and they are all those who
up to Monday had not been given any
employment. From remarks made by
the secretary at the bureau yesterday 1t
is evident til t the $1,000 now in the
fund will be expended very carefully,
OF the 450 men who have been at work
in CoIHo park for the last six weeks
there are now only $50 at work, 300 hav-
ing been laid off Thursday morning.
Several applicants for enrolment on
the register at the bureau showed up
yesterday; but their names were not
taken, the secretary having orders to
place no more names Oh the books. The
total number registered is now 1880.
The mayor yesterday appointed the
fifth member of the subcommittee to
prepare plans for raising funds for car
ing for the unemployed.
The committee now consists of ID. A.

Judge Kelly took the matter under adj
visement until Monday The record is
quite large. 1t includes the minutes
kept by the grand jury during its long
session, besides the evidence taken on
the motion to quash. If the record is
certified up, the supreme court will
determine upon the validity of the in
dIctment relative to the proper drawing
of the grand jury. as we'll as to whether
Evans was required to testify against

other charges against Hawks. must be
endorsed on this particular indictment

they were examined only when con-
sidering charges other than the one
upon which the indictment was found.
If Judge Kelly refuses to certify tht
record to the supreme court the case
will go to trial in the near future, anC
the matter may be taken advantage OF

NOTES FROM LABOR HALL.

The trades and labor assembly held
its regular fortnightly meeting last

WHO WILL BE THE MAN2
Mayor Wright said to Be Pledged

Mayor Wright said to Be Pledged
to Appoint Morrow Fire Com
missioner.
Within the next month it will become
the duty of the mayor 10 appoint mem
Der of the board of fire commissioners to
fill the vacancy caused by the expiration
of the term of j. @. Prendergast Mr..
Prendergast's term expires Dec. 81, and
already committees and private citizens
who have "a pulp in the interests
of applicants for the appointment
are calling upon the mayor.
George Ii. Schiller, the well-known
! barber and politician, is candidate for
the place, and several bands of his
friends have called on the mayor to
press the claims of Schiller. Mr.. Schil-
Ter served several years as fire warden,
and made, at least so his friends say, an
excellent record as such. Mr.. Schiller
has the advantage of other aspirants for
the fire commiSSioaership in that he IS
backed by the leading Republican pol
| iticians of the Fourth ward. There are
those who assert that the mayor will re-
appoint the retiring member, JIG. Prem
| dergast; but TINS is said by close friends
OF the mayor 10 be only rumor. When
| the fire board elected a chief Of the de-
! partment last spring, Prendergast voted
| for Chief John Jackson, as against eX-
Chief John I. Black, who was a candi-
| date and received two votes. This, the
friends of the defeated chief say, will
prevent the reappointment of Prender-
CAST.
| Mayor Wright listens pleasantly to
the committees who wait upon him re-
| garding the appointment, and to each
gives the same answer-that when he
considers the appointment the claims OF
all candidates will receive attention. A
gentleman who is very "chummy" with
Mayor Wright stated yesterday that the
new member Of the fire board would be
James Morrow, well known in labor
circles. Morrow, the gentleman said
was recommended by the trades anc
| labor assembly and other labor Organl
cations for the place, and, as the mayor
had determined on seeking renomina-
ton in the spring, Morrow would bt
appointed with view of helping gu
the reform movement. There was Somt
objection made to the visit of the COM
mittee from the trades and labor Assem-
bly, to urge the appointment OF Morrow
a number of gentlemen identified will
labor organizations claiming the organ
izatlon should keep out of politics, as i
was clearly against the rules of the or
ganization to take such action. Th
kick, however, came after the visit hat
been made, and not much attention wa
} paid to it.
lit is generally believed by those clos
! to the mayor that Mr.. Wright has de
ciGed definitely in Morrow's favor.

WABASHA KICKS
At the Action of Railway Conn
Dany.

pdHy.
A hearing IN the case of The City of
Wabasha against The Minnesota Md
land Railway Company was held before
the railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday. The mayor of the city, c. c.
Hirschy, and John w. Steel, city attor-
new, are the complainants,an and the cause
is, first and foremost, that in 1887, when
this railway was built, the city of Wa
basha issued bonds to the amount of
100000 TO aid in the building of line
from the city to the village of Zumbrota.
When the road was completed depot
was built on the levee, close to the bust
ness part of the city, and where it was
| an accommodation to the public, and to
| shippers and receivers of freight, and
| that from 1877 until Jan. /, 1891. all
trains running over the road ran to and
| from the depot. In 1879 the Chicago,
| Milwaukee q st. Paul railway bought
| the Minnesota Midland Railway
company, and on Jan. l, 1891,
without the consent of the
CITY council, abandoned the use
of the route between the depot on the
levee and Midland junction, and have
torn up the track between this place
and the city of WabaSha, a distance of
| about five miles. Inc depot on the main
line of said road is over one mile from
the business portion of the city of Wa
basha, and while there is a good track
/ now used, the company neg
lects to run its Midland trains to the
depot on the river, to the great incon-
venience, annoyance, disadvantage and
expense of the travelling public. ship
pers and receivers Of freight, and the
people of the city of Wabasha, who have
raid 100000 for advantages of which
they have been deprived.

BRACING WEATHER.
A Pretty Good Starter for Winter
Fifteen Below.

Fifteen Below.
We are experiencing little stalwart
November weather. In fact, it would
answer for almost any of the winter
months as well as November. When
snow began TO tall Thursday morning it
was sticky. and nearly every one pre-
dicted it would soon pass away. For
several hours it melted as it fell. But the
old settler. who is always wise, shook his
head as he analyzed the big snow flakes
and said it looked as though the snow
had come to stay. Apparently. the old
settler was right, for it is with Us still.
In few hours after the snowfall the
temperature fell also, and it continued
in that line of business until the cul-
minatiop yesterday. There was wide
range among thermometers yesterday
morning, the signal service recording
10 degrees below zero. while many
private thermometers registered 10
below. On st. Anthony hill 1t was II
deg. below at s a. H., and exactly zero
at s .. m.
1t is not usual to have as low a range
Of temperature as this i'll November,

prepared for the unexpected. 1t is
bracing withal-so bracing that you can
discard shoulder braces and lean back
against the polar wave. And then the
air is dry, so dry you do not feel the
, cold. In TACT, unless you carried Their
mometer you would not have suspected
it was below freezing. 1t is so dry 1t makes
people thirsty. The dryness is often
felt with peculiar strength just after
! midnight. That is what makes the
midnight closing ordinance a hardship

| on our dry air. The chances seem to

In a special weather bulletin-based
Oh last nights weather reports-the
forecast official for Minnesota reports

located in the vicinity OF the Twin
J Cities and journeying eastward. To be
; brief, he adds "that the cold wave is
among the things that were, so far as the
territory west of the Mississippi river is
concerned, and one of the things that is
so far as the Middle and Eastern states
are concerned. for they will surely fee
it today and Sunday, while the North

sRATTUCK DIRECTORS
Meet in Quarterly Session at the

Merchants.
At the Merchants yesterday after

CITIZEN OF LITCHFIELD
Talks About the Dart Contro-
VerSV.


Readers of the GLOBE will remember
that early III October this paper printed
the fact that Gov. Nelson suspended q.
Ii. Dart, the treasurer of MeekeT coun-
ty, on the showing of Public Examiner
Kenyon, charging Mr.. Dart with NAL
feasance in office. He was charged
with having loaned G. II. Bigelow, the
county auditor of Meeller county, $500
out of the county funds. Senator Leav-
itt of Litchieid, was at the Merchants
yesterday, and. as he halls from Meeker
county, a representative of the GLOBE
thought he might be able TO give an I'M
prejudiced statement of the matter. AS
soon as the subject was preached the
legislator laid down his paper, and,
after carefully turning the matter over
in his mind for few moments, said:
"A great deal has been said and
printed on both sides as to the matter of
the suspension OF Mr.. Dart, and the
public is undoubtedly well informed on
the subject. 1t has been stated in some
quarters that the feeling at Litchfield
and throughout Meeker county regard
ing this matter is of political nature.
This is very far from the truth. No
matter how mucn the newspapers or
state officials have claimed in this re-
spect, the question of politics has
never entered into the case
so far as the people of Litchfield or
Meeker county are concerned. While
no attempt is or has been made by Mr..
Darts friends to excuse any fault or
irregularity of which he may have been
guilty, there is a strong fee ling that he
has been made Scapegoat Tor the mis-
takes OF others vino may be equally
guilty with him. The whole matter is
Simply this: 1t is in reality a contest
between the two banks at Litchfeld.

depository of the county funds. We're

sumo the matter would never have

Roads Ask to Intervene.
DR.. Fish was the only witness VINO
went on the stand in the rate reduction
case before the railroad and warehouse
commission yesterday. DIR. Fish pro-
duced number of reports and quoted
figures to show that it is profitable Tor
the railroad company, as well "a the
public, to make a low freight rate, as
the increase in business resulting from
the low rate would more than make up
the loss. He claimed that in tie case
with the New York Central, when IL
reduced rates from Buffalo to New
York. after the building of the Erie
canal, the profits increased enormously,
but that the increase was covered by
the issuance of Watrred SOCK. lie
claimed that large amount OF the IN
come of the Great Northern during the
past two years had been expended Ill
building new lines through other states,
aud that it was an injustice 10
tax the Minnesota farmer with a hlgh
freight rate. He placed the capital "a
ton of the Great Northern at S60,0O0,-
cent, would be fair profit on that. He
thinks that the payment OF S4,200.0OO
rental for the Manitoba system is all
wrong. He closed his argument by
saving that the rate of Il cents per 100
pounds from Crookston to Minneapolis
was wrong, and more than the ail-rall
| charges from Chicago to the SeaDOard,
and twice the charges from Duluth 10
| Liverpool. He said that the profit OF
the road Oh hauling in other states was
about 30 cents Oh the dollar, While IN
| Minnesota it is more than half.
At tile conclusion of the testimony,
| NJ. d. Grover, attorney for the Great
! Northern, asked for time in Which the
road might consider the charges pre-
| ferred Mr.. STEVENSON SAID that he
thought two months might have been
! long enough, but that he would agree tt
| any reasonable continuance of the case
Attorney General Childs, for The
state, said that, as the question was al
| important one, 1t would be public
misfortune to have the hearing cloSet
| without going to The very bottom OF the
question.
Mir. STEVENSON said that very little o
the evidence had been read; the docu
mentary evidence. which was the mos
important, he had not taken time t
read to the commission.
Attorney Grover said that it was tn
desire of his company to have the Ill
quiry pushed, and the hearing WA
finally continued until Jan. 10. Eth
question OF allowing the other roads Il
