The puerile attempt of the enemies of
AID. Hugh Jennings, of the Third ward,
to besmirch his character by bribing
him with $500 to vote for measure be-
fore the council will, no doubt, rebound
as flood on those from whom it sprang.
The whole affair bears every ap-
pearance of a put-up job. 1t was con-
cluded-unwisely it turned out-that
AID. Jennings had a psoric palm: lie
admits that he had an itching, but 1t was
IN his fist. He itched to land good,
strong blow on the nasal organ OF the
man with the scar on his face, Tue
man who attempted to brlbe MIN.
EX-Ald. George Durham who, together
with three companions, was found III
such an embarrassing position i'll the
adjoining stall, with ear glued to a crack
IN the partition, stated yesterday that
his presence in Taberman'S saloon was
purely accidental. The waiter who
ushered the Scar-faced man and Aid.
Jennings into the stall, however, tells
different story. He AYERS that the tour
men who occupied the adjoining stall
came in during the early part of the
afternoon, and requested to be given
the stall, and asked that, when AID.
Jennings and his companion came III,
they be placed in the one. adjoining.
This. together with the fact that the
three men who were with Durham es-
caped out of the back door, when they
found they were discovered, indicates
that they, at least, were not present by
"aCcident."
1t was intimated yesterday that an
effort would be made by Aid. Jennings
enemies to bring the matter before the
nd
claimed that he really accepted the
bribe and that it was only when discoy,,
cred that he made the kick. 1t is said
that the men in the adjoining stall, IN
Guiding eX-Ald. Durham, would swear
to this story. and that the would
be briber would be brought for
ward to corroborate it. 1t Will
be remembered that Aid. Jennings was
alone, so that his testimony would have
to go against that of five. If this TRICK
be attempted, there Will be trouble, for
those who are acquainted with AID.
Jennings know him to be man OF non
esty and integrity. The police. are sorry
that Aid. Jennings did not accept the
bribe and then hold the brlber until an
officer could arrive and arrest him. Ihls
would have settled his goose, for the evil
dence would have been conclusive.
Aid. Jennings Will make every effort
to locate the man with the scar Oh his
face. He is sure he can pick him out,
for he says a man with so bad face
could never be forgotten. When the
fellow is found he will be dealt with in
a manner he will not soon forget. 1t
was expected that the measure Jen-
ming was asked to vote for would have
come up at the council meeting Friday
night, but it was not mentioned. The
measure was the vacation of Eighteenth
avenue north, from Second street to the
river. People are wondering what ac-
tion the council will take when it does
come up; also whether the committee
will recommend the vacation.

BRAzIE AND KIICHLI.
The Affair OF Friday Night Dis
cusSed From Both Sides.

The Affair OF Friday Night Dis
cussed From Both Sides.
The main topic among the aldermen
at the city hall yesterday was the eensa-
tional denouement at the council meet
ing the night before. The conservative
members Of the council upheld Presi-
dent Brazie and the position he took,
while certain Of the hot-blooded alder
men were strong in their condemnation
of what they termed high-handed meth
OdS Of discrimination on the part OF the
president. They claimed that Aid.
Kiichli was justified IN taking the course
he did and that if the council had stood
by him new president would have
been elected.
President Brazie stated yesterday
that he acted i'll good faith and accord.
ing to his best Judgment. A number OF
the aldermen rose and asked to be rec
ogniZed. In his opinion, Aid. Snyder
was the first, and, as such, entitled TO be
heard. The others say, however, that
AL. Rand was the first to take the floor,
Aid. Gray second, Aid. Kiichli third,
and Aid. Snyder the last Of ali. They
offer to prove this by majority of the
cOunciImen. Under any circumstances,
however, the proceedings were highly
undignifed. The fight atTorned the
rabble which crowded the ratings out
side the main body of the chamber
great deal of amusement. The rabble
always enjoys a disturbance, and the
more undignified and diSgraceful it IS,
the more diverting it is.
There will be merry war during the
next two years, for the council is in such
a dIsorganized condition that almost any
kind OF a trade can be affected, with dire
results to one side or the other. As
conseQuence.of this dsOrganiZed state
Of affairs, nearly every department. of
the city is more or less torn up. Ihe
city official do not know whether they
will he able to hold their jobs or not,
and their employees are III the same hX.
In the matter of the water depart
ment, the committee on water works mas
dallied along for two months without
coming to an understanding. No ap-
pointments have been made and the
employees of the department are
not sure whether they are to
be retained or discharged. The
three Republican members of the
committee, Aid. Snyder, Harvey
and Adams, are OF one opinion on the
question Of appointments; but Aid.
Kiichli and Mcclure, the Demo-
Gratis, are at variance with them. The
latter gentlemen are bound to take the
scalp of Supervisor Mcconnell, and two
Republican members of the council are
willing to help them carry their point.
The Democrats are cOngraJulatlng them
selves at the prospect of securing con-
troll of the council, for they feel morally
sure that Bradish and Woodward will
hereafter vote with them.

AGAINST THE MORSE BILL.
Building Inspector Gilman Doe!
Not Want an Elevator Inspector

Building Inspector Gilman Does
Not Want an Elevator Inspector.
The local building inspectors depart
ment is considerably wrought up over
the proposed bill by Senator Morse, to
establish a state elevator inspectors
office, for the inspection of passenger
and freight elevators. The bill. as it
now stands, fixes the salary of the-state
Inspector at $1,000 a year. He is to in
Bpect each elevator at least four times
q year, and charge fee of 81 for each
Inspection. The bill will come up to-
morrow. Building Inspector Gilman,
I'm speaking Of the bill yesterday, said:
81 really cannot see why state in
Bpector of elevators should be ap
pointed, unless for the purpose OF grant
Ing some politician sinecure. The in
spection of the elevators now comes un-
der the building inspectors depart
ment, and the building inspector ought
to be competent to look after that
branch of the business as well as the
rest. We inspect all elevators at least
once a year, and Oftener if necessary.
Most of the elevators are insured by in
suraEee companies doing that class of
business, and they inspect the elevators
carefully at ali times OF the year, for 1t
is to their advantage to do so. Now, at
the rate Of four inspections a year, and
O fee Of 81 for each inspection, as pro-
posed by this Morse bill, this city will
have to pay annually over $4,000, for
there are at least 600 elevators in the
city. This would be nothing more nor
less than an imposition on the people.
/ think the bill an outrage, and | am
~ ba nOiy1inn fhat tba hn,Icn will
pass it, though the senate should.
'Of course, If the people of the city
want this inspector, shall not oppose
1t, but do not think they do. l hop
they will be on hand and enter a protest
when the bill comes up Monday. If
this bill passes, the result will be that a
state plumbing inspector and state
building inspector will also be ap-
pointed. In my opinion there are al
ready too many of these sinecure offi-
eials" .

PARK BOARD BUSINESS.
East River Bank Boulevard Go
Committee Meetings.


Several park board commissioners
were in session yesterday. The com
mittee OH East side river bank boule-
ward met several attorneys representing
interested property owners. The prop
erty owners have all agreed to accept
certificates, so the river bank boulevard
will 90 through. The certificates will
run ten years and bear interest at per
cent.
The committee on improvements con-
sidered the dredge question. G. Il,
Upton, of the Union Iron works, re-
ported that the machinery in the dredge
boat at Lake MinnetOnka is in good
condition. The committee will recon-
mend that this dredge and additional
machinery be purchased and that
$4,000 be set aside for dredging Pow
derhorn lake.
The committee on salaries will rec
ommend that the old salaries be contin-
ued. These are: Superintendent,
$1,000; assistant uperintendent, $1,000;
secretary, S1,5O0; attorney, $1,000.
Peter Sutherland's claim to immunity
from the operation of the assessment
for Minnehaha boulevard was consid-
cred by the judiciary committee. The
board did not go into the moral, or
equitable, aspect of the case. 1t will
recommend that Mr.. Sutherland's as
sessment stand.
The board has ordered that skating
IN the parks stop next Tuesday.

heart interest. 1t takes for the subject
of its story the experiences of two inno-

New York. No sensational methods
are employed to bring forth exciting

more from the natural manner in which
the story is told and the stirring moral
lessons that it teaches. Life in the
metropolis Is reflected in a mirror that
brings forth the temptations Of the
great city in a truthful manner. The
story Is told in four acts, all of which
are laid in New York city. The charac-
ters introduced are purely of an Amer
lean type, and have been placed in
absolutely an American atmosphere.
