johnson Is Confirmed -Assess-
ments and Combinations.
p The appointment of Emanuel John
son as street commissioner by the city
engineer was confirmed by the board of
public works at the meeting yesterday
afternoon. Johnson is house mover,
residing at 1144 Bradley street, and his
appointment is to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Street Commits
soner Wilson. johnson will have
charge of the street force In the First
and Second wards. The charter pro-
vides for the appointment of six street
commissioners by the city engineer, and
with the appointment OF johnson only
one place is left vacant. That there is
one vacant berth may be accounted for
owing TO there being no applicants Tor
the position, although this may seem not
at all probable.
In the matter Of confirming assess
ments for slopes Oh Wells street, from
Walsh to Weide streets. proceedings
were annulled, and the clerk directed to
give new notice This was made nee
e5sary owing to a mistake in describing
the property assessed. The hearing on
the reassessment for grading a part of
the levee in the Sixth ward was ad-
journed to Feb. 16. The hearing on
assessments for opening Maria avenue,
from Eighth to Decatur streets, was adj
journed to March 2. The city engineer
submitted the pay roll for January,
which was approved. The figures were
as follows: Pay roll engineers force,
twenty-four men. s2.37S.33; inspectors,
two men, $40; livery, two teams, $40;

r. S. Munger. of Duluth, is at the
Merchants, and h is as full of Utopian
prospects for the future OF the Zenith
City as a cOcoanut is full Of meat. The
opening of the MeSaba iron range is a
theme that he dilated upon with elo-
Quence and emphasis at the Merchants
last evening The Mesaba & Northern
railroad, he insists. will eXpend upwards
of $750,000 within the next four months
in the near proximity to Duluth, and he
couples this with the promised products
of the mines, and points glowing pict-
ure, indeed. He argues that during the
next twelve months fully six and a
half million dollars worth of iron ore
will be mined from tn Mesaba alone,
and then he branches off in an eloquent
dissertation upon the ship building in
duStry of his native city.
f. Weyerhauser has won national

four regular sleepers passed over in
safety. The smoker. the day coach and
the Milwaukee sleeper at the rear of
the train left the track. Passengers in
the day coach were shaken up and
frightened, but were not injured. The
porter OH the sleeper entered the gas
closet and struck a match. causing an
explosion that severely burned him
about the body. The train did rot wait
for the derailed cars to be placed on the

The Matter Of Street Car

Broached,

promise With Lowry Will
Result.
Confirmation and Changes Of
Assessments on West
Side Streets.
Narrow Escape From a Seri-
Gus Accident on an
Omaha Train.

A meeting of the special committee on
street railway matters from the council
has been called for this morning at 10
O'Clock. The more important matter to
be considered is the proposition from
Col. Lowry, of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company. The proposition
is that the transfer system on the inter
urban line be abolished. Ii this is
agreed to. and the construction of the
Stryker and Maria avenue lines post
poned, Mr.. Lowry promises to build
double-track line to Como. He also
stands ready to boulevard University
avenue and change the East Seventh
street cable to an electric line. AS to
the matter of transfers, Mr.. Lowry, it is
understood, is willing to adopt the same
system here as i'll force in Minneapolis,
which places the transfer slips i'll the
hands of agentsI at various points in
stead of being g ven.out by conductors.
The plan would make transfers good on
any line without the passengers elect
Ing which line they desired to take.
1t is understood the members OF the
committee have been talking the
matter up among themselves, and
the meeting today IS to agree on
report to be submitted to the council.
The statement that Mr.. Lowry would be
present at the meeting today. one of the
members said last night, was incorrect.

The continued and severe cold, the

condition of our poor people one of

The Certificate Or iinance Could
Not Pass at Special Meeting.
A special meeting of the board of al
dermen was held yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. The object of the meeting
was to pass an ordinance authorizing
the proper city officers to negotiate
about S1,000,000 worth of certificates of
indebtedness. The ordinance was in
troduced Jan. II, and provided for the
sale of the certificates to the highest
bidder after their publications in the
official paper. The assembly. in it's wis
dom, amended the ordinance so as to
allow this course to be pursued, OF to
allow the proper city officers to "other-
wise dispose Of the certificates" The
ordinance as amended passed the as
Sembly at the last meeting of that body.
Comptroller McCardy was very anxious
the ordinance should be passed by the
board Of aldermen at once, SO the pay
rolls of the several departments could
be paid on the 18th, as usual.
For this reason the special meeting was
called. Nine members of the board at =
tended the meeting and the ordinance
being read and the rules suspended it
was placed Oh Its third reading and de-
clar2d passed. After motion to adj
journ had been carried, Aid. Franklin
whispered TO Aid. Hickman moment,
and that gentleman arose and informed
the board that under the rules the ordi-
nance could not be legally passed.
A book containing the rules under
which the body transacts its business
was hunted up, and sure enough rule
was found which provides that no ord-
nance shall be passed at any other than
regular meeting. President Ingersoll
suggested the rule could be suspended
left the building. The ordinance will
be passed again at the regular meeting
next Tuesday. The only Inconvenience
occasioned will be the postponement of
the regular pay day from the 18th to
later date.

The actions involving the affairs of
