Kirkham VS.. Javert.

When Mayor Eustis gave Sam Kirk
ham his discharge day before yesterday
he removed from public life a charac-
ter Of whom more has been written and
said, probably, than of any other man
in Minneapolis. Although mere ser
geant of police, KirkhGm was a large
figure in the public eye. He was man
OF many sides and few people ever came
to understand all of them. In many re-
spectS he was a Unique character as a
police officer. He possessed in high de-
gree many qualities that go to round out
the ideal police officer. He was a slave
TO duty, and would 20 through fire and
food to execute a command from Su-
periOT. lie was always Vigilant. He
was good disciplinarian, and never
tolerated fOrgetfulness of duty in patrol
men. He had a high reputation for
honesty and official prObity. What
made him dlsagreeable to the public
at large and TO his SuperiOrS was
that he almost invariably carried
the workings of these qualities too far.
Dischargeof duty often became with
him persecution of the unfortunate.
His hatred Of law-breakers carried him
sometimes to unreasonable abuse of
prisoners. And he was vindictiye-a
veritable Nemesis to those vino fell
under his displeasure. Those who have
read LES Miserables" will remember In
spectoT Javert and his cruel persiStency
In bounding Jean Naljea because he
once wore a member IN the galleys. If
the The0sophists' theory may be carried
SO tar, the astrOl body of Inspector ia
vert must have been Teincarnated in Sam
kirbham.

IN THE COURTS.
H Herman WestphaPs Ice Market
Injunction Against the City.

Injunction Against the City.
Herman A. Westphal and Henry
Glitsehke began an action in the dis
trict court yesterday against Thorwald
Guldbrandsen to recover s., ,232.25, and
asking for an accounting between the
parties, and also that a temporary in
junction be issued restraining the de-
fendant from bringing any further ae-
ton against the plaintiffs, as it seems
that Guldbrandsen sued the above
named plaintiffs in the municipal court
a short time ago and was defeated. The
complaint in the action is YOluminOus,
and gives in detail the history of how
Westphal came into possession of the
city ice market by entering Gundbraud-
sens employ some time ago on 4 con-
tract whereby he (WestphaD was to be
general superintendent of the market,
and to receive salary of S125 per month
and a percentage OH the net profits, with
the privilege of buying the plant should
he so desire. Afterwards Westphal and
GlitSehke bought the plant, GlitSehke
putting in the money over and above
what was due Westphal for his services
in connection with the contract. 1t is
alleged that GundbrandSen has since
refused to turn over the books to show
what was due Westphal on the contract.
Judge Hooker yesterday heard argu-
ments in the somewhat novel case of

A demurrer has been interposed setting
forth that the husband has a certain
possessive right in the homestead.

A FAMILY JAR.
William Davis Cracks His Wife's
Skull With a Flatiron.

William Davis, colored man, had a
fight with his wife yesterday afternoon,
and knocked her out. He came within
an ace of killing her, and, as Dr.. Hef-
fin remarked after he had rubbed balm
in her wounds:
Its lucky she is black, for had her
skin been white the crack she got on
the head would have killed her out
right"
Davis and his wife live in the rooms
over 527 Washington avenue south.
Some few days ago they quarreled, and
Davis took his leave. He swore he
would never return, and his spouse re-
marked that she was glad of it. Yes
terday afternoon Davis called at the
house to gather together his clothes. He
got into another quarrel with his wife,
and started in to break up the furniture.
He smashed the stove, and then picked
up fiat iron and struck his better half
with it on the head. The heavy iron
cracked her skull and, when Davis saw
his wife fall apparently dead, he ran
down the back stairs and out through
the alley. Several police officers started
in hot pursuit, but Davis was too fleet
footed. He was rapidly outstriding the
cOppers, when Patrolman Moussou
jumped into buggy and drove after
him. He caught Davis at the corner of
Ninth avenue south and Third street,
and sent him to the central station in
the patrol wagon. DR.. Hefflin attended
the injured woman. lie is of the opin-
ion she will recover.

large class. The convocatlon closed
with the Maunday Thursday banquet
last night. 1t was the largest
gathering of high-degree Masons
ever assembled in Minneapolis that sat
down last night In the banquet room on
tile eighth floor of Masonic Temple.
Among those who surrounded the BAH
quet table were men from all parts Qt
the STATE, and every one was q repre-
sentative man in his business or pr0tes-
sion. At s D. III. the ceremony OF eXtin-
gushing the lights, which will not
be relighted until 3 p. m. Easter
Sunday, was scrupulOusly followed. Tine
mystic banquet = although there was
little mystery attached to it-followed.
The brethren did good Masonic work
on the viands spread. The Masonic
quartette enlivened the proceedings
with frequent bursts Of song. Then
speeches were declared in order. Be
tween the aforesaid bursts of song the
tide of Masonic oratory flowed on unin-
terruptedly until nearly midnight.
Samuel f. Adams, who had violently
torn himself from a council meeting,
came hrst. His response was to the
toast, "Maunday Thursday" lie firm
-ly impressed upon his hearers the sig
VI Tic dilC llo
in Masonry. John II. Randall fittingly
responded to "Our Supreme Council"
Our Grand Commander was John A.
Schlener'S subject. He did it justice IN
every way. j. l.. DObbins, in re-
sponSe~ to the next toast, found an
opportunity to speak Oh his
favorite topic in Masonry, "St. Vincent
de Paul Chapter Rose CrOiX." Rev. a.
j. Graham's response to Our Departed
Brethren" was beautiful exposition
of the application of the principles OF
Masonry to the final dissolution OF the
body. No one can assure visit
ing brethren that they are well
come better than c. NJ. FOOte, and that
was what he did last night. The
response of the evening came
last - Frank F. Davis to the
toast Scottish Masonry" Mr..
Davis address was both a rhetorical and
oratorical effort of merit. He drew a
picture of the application of the princi-
Piles of Scottish Masonry to actual, ev-
ery-day life, and showed how the tend
ency of Masonic teachings is always to-
ward the uplifting of the race as mass
and the establishment of the universal
brotherhood.
The convocation will close formally
Sunday afternoon at 3, when the cere-
mony of relighting the lights will be
performed.

BOILER INSPECTION.
Minneapolis Engineers Complain
That They Are Misrepresented.

SRahSCAS
That They Are Misrepresented.
Minneapolis engineers are consider
ably stirred up by an article in the
Pioneer Press of yesterday headed,
Estate Boiler Inspection" The Pioneer
says in the beginning:
"a delegation of about dozen of the
most prominent chief engineers of Min
neapOlis called upon the senators yester-
day to protest against legislation pro-
posed to increase the number of state
boiler inspectors to seven to agee with
the present number of congressional
districts"
The P. P. goes on to say that the de-
mand for the proposed change III the
law comes from certain Insurance in
terests IN Minneapolis" :" that over 90 per
cent of the resident engineers OF Henne-
pin county are opposed to the proposed
change. All of these statements are
denied by the best engineers in Mime
apolis. Engineers in charge of steam
plants like that of the West hotel, the
Syndicate block, the Loan and Trust
building and the other big blocks say
that the delegation which is working
against the senate bill contains not one
man who is entitled to chief engineers
papers. Over 80 per cent OF the engin-
eers of the city are IN favor of the SEN
ate bill. No insurance men are behind
the agitation for a change In the law.
"Boiler Inspector Clark is opposed to
this bill because it would cut down his
fees" SAID one of them yesterday. "He
boasts that he has made $4,000 5ince>he
has been boiler inspector for HenDepin,
Ramsey and Washington counties. His
district, as it stands now, is worth any
three districts in the state. Ill tell you
how he works it in this district. He
comes over here in the spring and gets
the cream of the work from the fire de-
partment. the big buildings, etc. Then
he appoints as deputy, on commits
sIon,. some cheap engineer who is
out ~of a job. L he deputy, being
out of work and on commission, will
give licenses to as many who apply, for
he wants to make all he can. As soon
as he gets a job he quits Clark, and
Clark has had five deputies this last
term. l knew one of his deputies who
refuse d to do the work any longer, be-
cause men to whom he had refused to
give licenses because they were incom-
petent went over 20 Clark to get licenses.
These fellows, who are working on the
legislature i'll Clark's interest, are third
rate-some of them fifth rate
engineers. They are working for Clark
because no one else would give them
licenses. We're not opposed to Clark's
deputy, for we don't even know him.
We think Minneapolis is big enough for
a district and we want boiler Inspector
who will refuse licenses to men who
don't know where safety valve belongs
on boiler or what it is there for"
