THAT ALBION DEAL.
Mr.. Smith Claims He Bought 1t
Under False Pre-
fences,
And He Wants 1t Called Off and
His Property Decided
Back.

Edward 3. Smith has attached the eff
fects of Rebecca E. Miller to satisfy
claim of Sl53, 246.53. This Is an action
growing out of the sale of the Albion
apartment house, about which false
representation is charged. A trade of
real estate owned by Smith in New
York, Illinois and Minnesota was made
for the Albion property, and Mr.. Smith
gave money besides. The deal was
made few week ago. Mr.. Smith lived
in Buffalo, N. Y. He says that he was
deceived In the trade. which was nego-
tiated by Augustus K. Barnum. Oh be-
half of Mrs. Miller. The Albion had
mortgage on 1t for Sl50000, which was
not to be assumed by Mr.. Smith. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Smith that he was mis-
led as to the location, appointments and
value of the Albion. The agreed price
of the house was 100000. 1t is alleged
that Mr.. Barnum stated that the yearly
income of the Albion was S2S, $500, and
the operating expenses only 1900. 1t
is charged that the statement as to re-
ceiptS was false, as they were not more
than S26, 200. and the expenses are S24,-
600, and therefore the statement as to
expenses was false.
The real estate that Mr.. Smith eX-
changed is worth $4,000, and he gave
cash and commercial paper worth 1885,
1880. Mr.. Smith wants 10 trade back
the Albion and receive his cash and
commercial paper, besides his real es-
tate in st. Paul. Buffalo, n. Y, and
Lewiston, n. Y. The real and personal
property exchanged by Mr.. Smith is
valued at S153, 24633.

TO SUIT THEMSELVES.
Aldermen Opposed to n Transfer
Change Draw an Ordi-
nance.
The Proposed Changes as Far
as They Could Be
Learned.

Aldermen Copeland, Franklin. Zim-
norman, Warren and Montgomery met
at the council chamber yesterday after
noon for the purpSSe of preparing an
ordinance relating TO street railway at
fairs. The Quintette, after some dis
cuSsion rs to what Mr. Lowry would or
would not accept. went into executive
session. Previous to locking them
selves in, Aid. Zimmerman, in
answer 10 the request to put
off discussion until Wednesday night,
said all the ordinances introduced thus
far relating to street railway matters
had emanatcd from the street railway
company. He was in favor of drafting
one which would meet the views OF the
aldermen. and see what would be done
with it. Aid. Montgomery didn't think
there was any use of his remaining to dis
cuSs the proposed ordinance, as he was
unalterably opposed TO any change in
the present transfer system. Aid.
Franklin said "me too," but both gen
tlemen were finally prevailed upon to
remain and listen 10 the discussion. The
party adjourned TO the corporation at
tOrney'S office, and with the aid OF that
official managed to spend three hours
in making rough draft of an
ordinance winch will be presented
TO the meeting Wednesday night.
The gentlemen did not care
to give the ordinance prepared for pub
LEGATION, but Aid. Zimmerman in a very
frank manner said they had fixed up an
ordinance which the railway company
would not accept. After deal of cross
questioning the following was learned
as to the provisions of the new ordl-
nance: The use of transfers On the
present interurban line is abolished, eX-
cept as to through travel. The Seventh
street cable is to be turned into an cleo
tric line, and the present line is to be
extended to the harvester works (ab0nt
a mile and half from the present
terminus). The boulevard on Uni
Versity avenue is to be constructed, but
openings are to be left at each street
crossing. These are the important
changes in the new ordinance, put as
one of the members said the wording or
the other sections is changed so as
to kill the wOOdchucks which were
so numerous in all the other ordinances
that had been introduced. No ref
erence was made to the time for COM
plotting the Stryker or Maria avenue
lines, as these are to be finished by the
railway company by July of the pres
ent year, according 10 ordinances now
in force. The line to Como park IL to
be constructed as soon as practicable,
and the line to Phalen park as soon as
the title to the land Is in the city.

CHOCTAWS MAY CLASH.
Factions Armed and Ready to Be-
gin a Bloody War Of
determination.
The Trouble Grew Out OF a Muir.
der Committed Last
Summer.

PARIS, Tex. March 25-The fac
tional war in the ChoctaW nation. en-
gendered by the campaign of last sum-
mer, has broken out afresh, and a col
lision between the Jones and Jackson
factions seems unavoidable. Antlers,
forty-two miles north of here,
puesents the appearance OF an
armed camp tonight. Armed bands
of Indians are marching upon
the town. Both factions are bitter and
very determined. The trouble origin
ated at Wilburton last summer. when
several Choctaws were assasSinated.
They were of the Jones faction. Willis
Jones, a jackson man, was arrested
as one of the murderers, and a
party of jackson men, headed
by Albert Jackson. rescued him.
Since then Jackson has been
a fugitive from justice. A few days
ago it was ascertained that jackson was
in hiding at the house of Dick Locke, a
leading member of the Jackson faction
and man of wealth. The authorities
demanded Jackson, but he refused to
give him up. This aroused the Jones
faction. and they swore to have him at
any cost. Large forces of men began
to organize. Locke sent for aid, and
they came in the night. Forty militia
from Goodhnd and forty from Tuska-
homa are marching on Antlers. The
feeling is at the highest pitch, and eX-
element is intense. A battle is expect
ed mOmeutarily. All efforts to persuade
Jackson to surrender have proved futile,
him by force.

a Large House at the MetrODoli-
tan Last Evening.
The Al G. Field Minstrel company
was in the city Yesterday and last night,
and everybody knew it. Last evening
the Metropolitan was crowded by all
eager thrOng of people who went there
to see the finest minstrel performance
that has ever been in the city, and they
were not disappointed. 1t Is impossible
to witness a cleaner, neater or better
show. Frank McNiSh is just the same
as he wes ten years ago. His ''Silence
and Fun" never wears out. He has
hundreds OF imitators, but none of them
can amdse an audience as Frank does.
AS an old time negro Al Field has 10
equal; he has their funny sayings and
actions down fine and never fails
to keep the audience in an up
roar The inauguration act by
Fields and DOnnelly is very funny, and
caused the audience to roar. Joe Z.
Lewis, the aDodal wonder, is one of the
finest, if not the finest, cOntOrtiOnist
that ever went upon stage. His act Is
simply wonderful, and is alone worth
the price of admission. If one wants 10
laugh and enjoy good singing. dancing
and a real irSt-claSS minstrel show. the
Al &. Fields company is the one to see.
The settings and costumes id the first
part were very rich and gorgeous, and
the singing was one of the features of
the performance. The hnale, The
Darktown Circus" interpreted 10y
jenkins, CLAYTON and the trick donkey,
Jasper, was the best finish of Minstrel
show ever seen in st. Paul, and sent the
large audience away in pleasant mood.
The same performance will be given to-

THAT LOST WILL.
Nothing Definite in the Ellis
Estate Litiga-
ton.
Peculiar Point Involved In the
Wisconsin Di-
VOrCe.

The contest over the estate of the late
Matt Ellis, formerly master mechanic of
the Omaha Railway company, Is still
being waged in the district court. After
three days OF fight, there is still more
evidence to be put in. Judge Otis has
not yet decided any of the points i'll
volved, nor issued any order appointing
any one administrative. Owing to the
engagements of the court ami counsel,
the taking of any further evidence in
the case was continued 10 next Thurs
day morning, when it IS expected the
battle will be renewed with increased
VigOr. In the meantime the judge has
taken under consideration the question
as 10 how much oral evidence is neceS-
Sary. to prove the contents of lost
will. 1t appeared in evidence that
the will was thrown into the fire Dec.
81, 1891, bnt it was claimed by the con-
testing parties that at that date and for
a long time prior thereto Matthew
Ellis's mind and memory had been
seriously impaired, and that he did not
possess sufficient mental powers to
enable him TO destroy will. TO this
effect the testimony of expert ply
scians was sought to be introduced, as
Ellis intimately; undue influence by
Flora over Matthew to induce him to
destroy the will so that she might in
hsrit all the property was also claimed
and offered to be proved. In case the
court finds that the contents of the will
have been proved by the evidence thus
far introduced, further evidence as to
the testator'S mental capacity and the
conduct of the parties surrounding him
will probably be introduced on Thurs
day and make very interesting seS-
sion. The case is "chock" full of inter-
esting law points. The Wisconsin
divorce between Rachel and Matthew
cuts an important figure in the case.
1t appears that both parties removed
from the state of Wisconsin some five
months before divorce proceedings
were begun there, and were not resi-
dents of the state of Wisconsin, either
at the time the action was begun or
when the decree was granted, and that
therefore the court did not have juriS-
diction TO render decree between the
parties, they both being then residents
of the state OF Minnesota; and further,
that though Rachel Ellis was the NOM
inal plaintiff ia that suit, she was acting
under fear and restraint and that
Matthew paid the attorneys for both
the plaintiff and defendant. AS stated
above, Judge Otis now has some of the
law questions Involved under consider
alton: his decision and the further pro-
ceedings in the case will be awaited
with interest The final outcome may
not be for some time; in the meantime
both the widows are Oh the anxious
seat"

Dramatic Gossip Of the Past
and the Current
Week.
Lillian Lewis DiSrobing Act
a Sensational FL

Better Than Average Attrae-
tionS Offered for This
Week.
General Dramatic Gossip and
FOotlight Com
ment.

The past week was a banner season,
dramatically speaking, both places OF
amusement introducing stellar attrac-
tons for public delectation. At the
Metropolitan, Fanny Davenport gave
SardOu's great spectacular creation OF
cleopatra" in magnificent style, play
ing all week to crowded houses. Lii
liam Lewis, in Lady ILL.," did a land
Office business at the Grand, the bill
giving way yesterday to Zola's "rherese
Raquen." This is the play objected to
by Mr.. Merston, the husband of Lillian
Lewis, and which contains the disrob-
ing scene. No wonder it is objected to.
There is really nothing suggestive or
salacious in that scene, and both men
and women were disappointed in it;
but the piece is simply horrible, and en-
tirely too ZOlaesQue for any use. Miss
Lewis was wise in giving it on the last
day Of her stay. For the current week
good attractions are offered at both
places Of amusement and not even
Easter week will interfere with the
business.

attendants. AS the nearest attendant
placed his hand on the mans shoulder
the latter became excited and began to

ensued. The attendants used no
unnecessary force, but it was
only after long struggle
that the patient was carried into the pa

that about eighteen months ago
a combination of Western lines tried to

ceeded in having his salary reduced
one-half or more. Mr.. Doane took his
treatment very much to heart, and
finally resigned. For several months
he has b zen brooding over the alleged
injustice done him, and several days
ago his mind gave way under the strain,
and he became violent Friday night.

BYRON IN TWO PLAYS
VIII Be the Attraction at the
Grand This Week.

VIII Be the Attraction at the
Grand This Week.
Tonight Oliver Byron begins weeks
engagement at the Grand with his two
plays, 1.-The Plunger" and Across the
Continent" with which the week will
be divided. "The Plunger," which has
been selected as the opening attraction,
is comedy-drama with series of
highly sensational scenes and situations,
but contrary TO the rule in many plays of
this kind, the comedy element FREEDOM
mates. Oliver Byron has, in the part
of Dexter Digit, character peculiarly
fitted to his abilities, and he receives
most excellent support from Kate By
ron, who will be seen as the Widow
Glover, a daShing Irish woman OF the
better class The Plunger." when
presented in this city two years ago, was
well received, and may DC said to have
scored hit. Its story IS clear and con-
else; its scenes are laid in New York,
and its characters are not OVerdraWn,
and IN its construction the author has
endeaYOred to locate its scenes and
climaXeS amidst surroundings that are
both picturesque and appropriate.
Across the Continent" in which Mr..
Byron Will be seen the latter part of the
week, is not only one OF the most sue
ceSSful of sensational plays OH our stage,
but is one of the lOngeSt-lived of any of
them. 1t is made up of series of eX-
citing episodes, and its pre- SentatiOn for
the past twenty years or more has
