Chamber of Commerce Shaken Ur
Bit.

Chamber of Commerce Shaken Up
Bit.
At the meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday E. V. Smalley's
resolution protesting against lumber
and iron being placed on the free list
came up on report from the legislative
committee recommending that 1t be
adopted. William Pitt Murray opposed
the resolution, declaring that the pine
lands Of this state have been stolen
from the government or the state, aud
are now in the hands of not more than
fifty men, and tor his part he was op-
posed to adding millions to the burdens
OF the people in the form of a tariff tax
for their benefit, and moved that action
on the resolution be deferred one week.
This was objected to. Mr.. Smalley de-
Tended the resolution on the ground of
its commercial nature. Mr.. Pyle dep
recated bringing political matters up
for discussion, besides he was not SO
certain that it was good policy to place
a tariff for protection Oh the articles in
question. -
The proposition from the typcgraph-
zeal nnion in reference to the govern
mental acquisition of the telegraph sys-
TEN was disposed OF adversely. l.. p.
Ordway was elected to fill vacancy ex-
listing on the board of directors.

WHY SO COLD.
The Court House Not Properly
Heated

The Court House Not Properly
Heated
An investigation is under way to as:
certain why number of the rooms in
the court house are not properly heated
During the past two weeks numerous
complaints have been made by occu-
pants OF rooms on the second, third and
fourth floors of the building regarding
the heating. In several OF tie rooms
the water pipes have frozen, and the
public library quarters have been so
cold that the attendants were forced to
suspend work. Mayor Wright, in his
official capacity as chairman of the
court house and city hall commission,
has written letter to E. p. Bassford,
architect of the building, req Nesting an
investigation as to the failure of
the plant to afford sufficient heat,
and suggesting the names of
committee to make such in
curry: Yesterday two experts repre-
senting the contractor who put in the
plant were about the building taking
the complaints of the occupants
of the offices and making an
examination Of the radiators. 1t is
claimed that the failure to heat the
building is due solely to the improper
management of the plant, and the rea-
son why the rooms are cold and the
water pipes freeze up is said by one of
the employees to be owing to the econ
omy practised in allowing the fires to
go out at night to be rekindled in the
morning. Another gentleman who has
given the matter some attention ex-
plains that as soon as the contra ct is
awarded for placing storm sash on all
the windows in the building the plant
will be found to work all right.

WILL SUE THE BONDSMEN.
THEY WANT TO GIVE PEAL ESTATE
IN SETTLEMENT.
THE PLAN is NOE ACCEPTED.

City Attorney instructed to Sue
the Bondsmeu of the Seven
Corners Bank-The Rondsmen
Offered TO Turn Over Real
Estate to Settle the $f4, 900
Due ST. Paul. -
The committee OH ways and means
FROM the assembly held short session
yesterday. The resolution directing the
city attorney to proceed against the
suretles on the bond given by the Seven
Corners bank for the S14. 600 of the city,s
money was recommended to pass. The
bondsmen submitted to the city attorN
ney proposition to turn over in trust
parcels of realty to protect the city
against loss, with the understanding
that the city would not press the suits
against them. City Attorney Chamber-
lam reported that b. z zimmerman, one
or the bondsmen, agreed to deed TO the
city lots i'll G. A. Munn's subdivision OF
block s. Lyman Dayton's addition, val
ued at $4,000. j. NJ. Carlson, another of
the bondsmen, offered TO deed lot 3,
block 10. Holcombe's addition, val
ued at $500, and William Ban
holzer forty-nine lots in Kenslng-
ton Park, valued in the aggregate
at $500. making total valua-
ton of S21, 300. This proposition,
the city attorney said, had been shown
to the comptroller. and that official was
of the opinion that the property men
toned was not worth more than 10000,
while the amount the city had on de-
post when the bank closed was over
Sl4, 900. The city attorney questioned if
the deed were eXecutedwhether it would
accomplish the purpose. 1t would, he
said, be of no avail against the attach
ing creditors, unless accepted formally
by the city, aud even then would have
no binding effect unless there were
consideration to forebear prosecution OH
the bond. He did not advise any action
affecting the city's right to bring ction
on the bond. This view seemed to meet
with the ideas Of the committee and the
resolution will be recommended to pass,
The pay roll for the engineering de-
partment for November, which was
thrown out at the last meeting Of the
assembly, was approved. Assembly,
man Lightner said If it was true, as
alleged by Mr.. keardon, that the roll
contained the name of all employee VINO
had not worked the full month, and
was down tor full pay. there was no
reason why the other employees should
be kept from their salaries.
Assistant City A ttorney Phillips, who
had been held responsible for the OBJ
tanning 0f INDIGNANT fnr 60 or
the city by Peter Stewart in the United
States court by reason of default, sent i'm
letter throwing the blame off upon j.

The petition from the chairman and
secretary Of the citizens coal combine
committee, asking for $1,000 with which
to carry on its fight, was recommended,
to be accepted and filed, there not beiug

Accompanying the budget Comptroller
McCardy read to the conference a num-
Der of suggestions in his usual pointed
style, which while not part of his
official duties will undoubtedly have
weight with the council and conference
committee. His suggestions or supple
mental remarks are given below:
In making tax levy the ability of
the people to meet the burdens placed
upon them should be seriously cousid-
cred. The real estate valuation to be
made next year will be the most diff.
cult to fairly adjust that we have had
in many years. and any increase in the
budget now before you may endanger
the collection of the taxes WHICH are
assessed to meet it.
CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS.
In the year 1891, 1888, 663. 10 of Ger
titicates of indebtedness We're Is
sued for various purposes, and paw
able i'll two, three and four wears.
Of which there came due during the
present year, 1886, 1858. 49, There Mas no
provision for their renewal, and they
had TO be met at a time when it was
difficult to DO so. We have 5000. 00O. 90
or that issue to meet during the coming
year. Without this floating debt, our
tax levy rate per cent would be consid-
erably less than at present.
LIGHTING FUND.
Under the lighting fund do not think
it advisable 20 recommend any greater
sum than that included in the levy of
last year. viz: S165. 600. Under the bids
now under consideration before the
council the gasoline contract would re-
lpcc
| year 1892, and there has been nothing
| said in reference to the price per IamD
| to be paid for the proposed increase of
| gas lambs over the present number. 1t
| Is also proposed to replace with gas q
number of gasoline lamps now in use.
his matter being in the hands of the
council, it is perhaps better that thew
consider the whole matte. together and
decide the desirabiity of increasing the
| lighting fund over S165,0O
BOARD OF CONTROL FUND.
| In view OF the fact that it is
! generally conceded that there will
be an unusually large number of him
| CRY people to be fed during the coming
winter, would recommend that there

the board of control fund to the extend

devised for its distribution, similar to

by purchasing i'll quantities greater
amount of breadstutf can be had for a

CoNsIDERING THE RIrncET

CONSIDERING THE BUDGET.
The budget having been read, Presi-
dent Wheelock, of the park board, in
CURED if Oh the present valuation the
passing of the budget would increase
the tax rate next year. To this the
comptroller replied that it would, unless
the miscellaneous receipts, which were
estimated at $4,000. were materially
increased. 1t being $50 O'clock, the
conference adjourned the consideration
of the budget until this afternoon at 2
O'Clock, when. the figures will be taken
up in detail.
The committee, when first called to
order, listened to report of the special
committee appointed to consider the
advisability of placing an amount in
the budget sufficient to finish the ward
building at the city hospital. The ma
jority of the committee reported in
favor of placing 1900 in the budget to
complete the building, deeming that
any less than this figure appropriated
would be poor economy. Comptroller
McCardy submitted a minority report
advising the expenditure of only s25, 900
and second stories of the building. the
other floor and basement to be com
pleted in 1895. After listening to both
reports. the same were laid on the table
to be considered today.

MRS. COSTELLO AGAIN.
Question of Fact to BE Looked
Up by the Trustees.


The board of police pension fund
trustees met yesterday afternoon. The
matter of placing the name of Caroline
Costello on the roll was brought up.
The question having been raised at a
previous meeting that under the law
she was not eligible to pension, owing
to the fact that her husbands death
did not result from injuries received
while policeman. The mayor had
read the letter of eX-City Attorney Law
Ter. written in January. 1888, stating
that1Mrs. Costello was not entitled to a
pension. Following this was the opin-
of City Attorney Chamberlain, which,
in effect. said that if Costello's death
was caused from injuries received while
lin the discharge of his duties his widow
was. entitled to S400 pension. The ques-
ton of fact. the city attorney thought
could best be settled by the trustees,
and after some discussion the hearing
of testimony as TO the cause of CostelIo'S
death was put off until next Monday.
The regular monthly pay roll was ap-
proved.

side Witnesses Were Not at
Hand-Carney, the Chicago De-
e tective Who Testified in the
g. Fleury Trials, Is Killed.
! County Attorney Butler was notqute
ready to proceed Yesterday with the
-Itfial of Jonas j. Meiggs, one of the al
legged bank robbers, owing to the fact
that some of the outside witnesses were
mot secured. 1t is expected, however,
that the trial will begin this morning.
Sergeant E. f. Carney, of the Chicago
police force, who was In the city and
testified for the state during the first
trial of Fleury, died in that city last
Friday as the result Of wound infiict-
ed in fight he and fellow officer, had
while attempting to arrest two agents
of the Thiel detective agency In the
trial here he testified to Selling the
Fleury trunk, and to finding in it the
$1,000 Ill gold coin and to counting it.
He was for many years employed by
the Pinkertons as detective, but for
the past two years has been attached to
the central police station in Chicago
LIZ Ac0 QuiiC as d tulel-
taker, and among his arrests, after trac-
Ing them all over the country, were the
train robbers "Rube" Burrows and
Jim" Cummings, the latter of whom
was implicated in robbing. the Adams
express car Of $4,000.
A few days after testifying In the
Fleury trial Sergeant Carney was at his
post in Chicago, and. In company with
Officer John Conway, got into an alter
cation with Detectives Holmes and Pot
ter. of the Thie's detective agency,
whom they did not know, and were
questioning as to why they were out so
late at night. Holmes and Potter re-
fused to answer, and all attempt was
made to arrest them. A fight followed,
and before the police that had been
called TO the assistance of Carney and
his partner could interfere, Carney was
SHOT in the knee. An operation on the
leg OF Carney was attempted, which
proved fatal. A post-mortem was held,
in which it was found that septic poison
had set in. There is question also as
to whether the anesthetic administered
during the operation was not too much
for the condition of Carney. An inquest
was held yesterday to determine the
cause of death Detectives Holmes and
Potter, of ThiePs agency, gave 1880
bail the night of the shooting for their
appearance at the police station, but
since the death of Carney have not been

Adjourned to this Afternoon.
The conference committee was at.
tended yesterday afternoon by nearly
all the city officials and members of the
council. The most important business
was tue presentation by Comptroller
| McCardy of all estimate of the expenses
of the city for the fiscal year beginning
Jan. l, together with the revenue nee
| essary to be raised. The report. which
! is given below. shows that 81 ,S72, 1857
will have to be raised by taxation to
| meet the expenses # neXtyear, which
is an increase of S13U.090 over the tig-
ureS for 1898. The figures presented by
| the comptroller have been pruned down
| to the lowest possible amount required
| in the several departments. and
while the conference committee ami
| the council have the power to
| increase or cut down the amounts,
it is safe to say the figures if changed
at all will be increased rather than re-
| duced. The assessed valuation of prop
erty in the city is placed by the assessor
at Sl25. 000.0 900; but this figure. as claimed
| by many of the members of the confer
| ence committee and prominent citizens,
| is both unfair and too high. Even ii the
valuation should not be reduced, the
amount to be raised by taxation for the
expenses of the coming year would,
according to the comptroller;s figures.
make the tax rate one mill higher for
1891 than for the past year.
The following shows the debit of the
| general fund, estimated income of the
city and the reorganization of the
amounts needed in the several depart
ments to carry them over the year, as
