Judge Flandrau said tie Chicago,
Milwaukee d st. Paul road Gained the
property on the levee to the west line
of Broadway, and the district and SUI
preme court had rendered a decision to
that effect. Another trial of the case,
however. had been granted by the ST.
preme court, and the result of this trial
would determine whether the owner
ship of the land was in the city or rail-
road company. The fundamental ques-
ton. Judge Flandrau said, was whether
the land was private property or not,
and it appeared to him that the present
proceedings might be postponed until
the suits were settled.
X. a. Wilkinson said the city had
already fixed the grade. and now asked
the board of public works to fix the
damages and benefits. Until the suits
now pending as against the Great Nor
thern and Milwaukee roads were decid-
ed the present proceedings were in the
nature OF farce. In the answer filed
In the injunction case of the Great Nor
thern, the city had stated it would not
fix the grade until after the suit had
been disposed of. President German
interrupted 40 say it was not a grade
until the assessment had been con-
firmed
Assistant Corporation Attorney Cha
pin said the attorneys for the Great
Northern held that there had been no
change of grade ordered on the street.
and for this reason the city could not
proceed. The present proceedings were
to do away with this objection:
Judge Flandrau announced that he
joined with the Great Northern in the
request for an adjournment. The city,
he said, would not build the bridge at
the present time nor before two years,
and the proceedings could be adjourned
until the title to the land had been de-
cided. The board announced that it
would be guided in the matter by the
city attorney, and after some discussion
the hearing was postponed 10 Oct. 2, at
2p. m.
The hearing on the assessments for
change of grade on State street, Fill
more and Fairfield avenues. in connec-
ton with the West side approaches to
the bridge, were also continued to the
same date.

NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN.
A Promising Beginning for the
Season of 1884.

A Promising Beginning for the
Season of 1894.
Last night in the Madison. Franklin.
Van Buren,, Cleveland and Humboldt
schools evening sessions were held for
the first time this season. The opening
was extremely satisfactory. Of the
three buildings visited-the Franklin
and Madison on this side of the river
and the Humboldt on the West side
the Madison building shows the largest
enrolment for the opening. Below is
given list of teachers in the three
schools mentioned, as well as the en-
rollment:
Madison-J. F. Austin, principal,
with Mrs. Ida Greenough, j. f. Jack
son, e. c. Campbell and l.. NJ Cope as
sistants; admitted last night, ninety
pupils.
Franklin-C. A. Patchin. principal,
with Alice Shields, r. b. McLain, G. A.
Mccain. Mrs. Anna O'Toole, F. c.
Boldly and j. j. Mccain assistants; adj
mitted, eighty pupils.
AT humboldt school seventy scholars
were registered last night, but the first
aession was postponed until tomorrow
evening, as the Janltor had not been
sbIe to procure lamps. The principal,
q. NJ. Phillips, said that the character of
those applying for admission is excel
lent. and is composed mostly of young
men who have attended the day sessions
for a considerable time. The teachers
at the Humboldt are: Miss Ii. H. Foss,
foreign room: Miss NJ. E. Stewart. third
and fourth grades; w. NJ. Farrar. fifth
grade; II. l.. Moody, sixth grade.
On the wnnla tina OntioOly for OOOd
winters work was never better. par
ticularly in the centrally located build
ings. The change from five sessions a
week to three is looked upon as good
one, as now the pupils will have some
opportunity for recreation. as we'll as
some time to prepare work between
sessions, which they hitherto have not
had. Most of the students are working
boys and girls, who have little or no op-
portunity during the day for intellectual
improvement. The teachers employed
are earnest in their work, when is one
of the most necessary requirements,
and it is to be hoped that the fact that
there is such an opportunity waiting
for those whose education has been
neglected, or who have been obliged to
go to work quite young, will be adver-
tized far and wide, so that ali those who
desire may embrace it.

The change of grade on Broadway,

Mr.. Murray was of the opinion that
postponement OF the matter al this time
would be advisable. The caseS which
would determine whether the city
owned Broadway and other property
south of Third street, as shown on the
diagram, or whether it belongs to the
railroad companies, were now in court,
aud until this point was decided there
was no need of ordering a change of
grade. The following map will give an

Gov. Nelson Gives the Committee
a Hearing.
A committee of the labor unions of
St. Paul was before Gov. Nelson yes
terday afternoon to ask the calling of
an extra session of the legislature.
Among those present were James Dill
lon, IL. f. Espel, Peter Max, r. f.
Leppla, NJ. j. Krwin, Christian Goefke,
Ii. Lears0n. The committee informed
the governor of its business, and in reply
the governor stated that all extra session
of The legislature would cost the state
at least 100000. He believed that
if the committee and the labor people
generally would consider the matter
further, they would come to the con-
clusion that they were putting them
selves Ill position of public mendicants,
and would belittie themselves as labor
Ing men II tn ey accepted that kind of
aid.
One of the committee remarked that
the poor people naid a far greater share
OF the taxes than the rich. The gov
ernOr replied:
Then, if that is the case, don't yon
see this extra session Of the legislature
which you ask for. would fall very
heavily upon the poor people and
lightly upon the rich? l shall not give
my answer one way or the other at
present; but if, after you have more
carefully considered this matter, YOU
want another hearing, will grant it to

THE sELBY SAFETY DEVICE.
Another Session OF Talk With No
Result.


The special joint council committee
appointed to consider the Selby avenue
safety device ordinance held a meeting
yesterday afternoon. NJ. ID. Mum, who
appeared for the railroad company.
stated that the company objected to the
sections in the ordinance which re-
quired cars to be run with the same
frequency after the device was put in
as now, and to the taking out of the de-
vice by majority of the council declar-
ng it a nuisance.
E. ii. Montgomery, well-known en-
gineer, submitted plans of an invention
which he had just received patent pa
pers for. The device was a safety brake
or independent endless cham working
on two drums, adjusted by an opening
in the piston rod adjusted by valves
worked by hydraulic power, the same
as an engine, except that oil would be
used. The chain would run in the same
slots as the cable and about eight inches
above the cable. In coming down the
hill an iron dog fastened to the grip rod
would catch in the endless chain, which
coulQ be regulated as desired The
beauty of the brake. Mr.. Montgomery
said, would be that there would be no
noise.
A. H.Wilder thought the device would
make so much noise that his property
would be greatly damaged. He had
been informed by officers of the railway
company there was no trouble in the
plan used now in operating cars on the
hill.
Mr.. Mum said the cars could be ope-
rated all right, but it was the desire to
increase the service, and this could not
be done without putting in device
which would allow an extra trailer to be
run.
Aid. Hickman said the people In Mer-
Ram Park and that section of the city
were Interested in the device being put
in as it would give them through cars
to the Park from the center of the CITY.
E. A. Paradis. of the Midway News. .
asked if the noise would be greater
Inconvenience to the few owners on
Summit avenue than the convenience
to tine thousands who patronized the
line.
Aid. Copeland wanted to know if the
company would stand the expense for

Favorable Report on Como Pump
ing Plant.

ing EldnV.
None OF the members of the park
board put in an appearance at the meet
ing called for last evening. Tracy Lyon,
appointed to inspect the pumping plant,
submitted report as to a test and ca
pacity of the Blake duplex pump at
Como park. The test was made on Sept.
3, the pump at that time having been
run continuously for five previous days.
1t was run for twenty-four hours and
only one boiler used, the water being
delivered directly into the lake. The
boiler pressure was from 60 to so pounds
per square inch, this being more steam
than the pump required. The following
figures show the result of the test:
Actual number revolutions made, IS
1853: average number of strokes per
minute, 1883; total gallons water
pumped, plunger displacement, l, JOG, =
tS44; deductlng 5 per cent for slip,
1,336.502; required by specifications.
1,0U0,000. Steam consumed by pump,
estimated at 1850 pounds; coal used, l.S
tons. The inspector recommended a
steam gauge and the painting of the
pump. The workmanship, steamtitting
and piping, the report said, was tight
and the plant efficient.

Mutilates Their Bodies.
Yesterday afternoon, during the heavy
storm, Fred Miller. aged forty-one
years, and William Shenske, aged eight
cen years, were standing by an open
window near cook stove in the second
story of house at South Park, occupied
by the Shenske family. A terrific thun-
der clap startled the occupants of the
house. ali believing the house to be
struck. Mrs. Schenske called to the
men who were at the window, and as
she spoke both tottered and fell to the
floor without cry. With scream the
woman ran and dragged them from the
window as the other members of the
household rushed to the spot, and it
was seen that bolt of lightning had
passed down the chimney and out of
tAt open window, passing through the
G0dieS-O of the men. A man down stairs,
thinking the house was afire, rushed up
with pail of water, and as he saw the
PROSTATE forms dashed the water
into their faces. The elder man
elsped twice and expired. bat
Young ShenSke'S heart had ceased to
beat at once. He had been nearest the
stove, and the deadly fluid had burned
his EYEBROWS off and the flesh from his
left arm to the elbow, and several other
dlscolOred marks on his chest told that
the shock had been a very severe one.
Mlller's body was not burned outward
ly, but large diScolored mark twice
the size of mans nand lies over his
heart OH the chest.
The StoVepipe was thrown down and
doors OF the stove thrown open, ami
that is the only damage visible in the
room. On top the house few shingles
were looSened, otherwise there was no
harm done the building. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shenske were within dozen feet of the
unfortunate men, but felt only slight
shock. The clap of thunder that ac-
companied the bolt of lightning, how
ever, was terrific.
The eDitre family, with Mr.. Miller,
had just come from Berlin, Germany,
Two weeks ago to South Park, and are
relatives Of Charles and Ferdinand
Brown, of South St. Paul. William,
who was killed, was skilled mechanic.
