AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

Friday afternoon representatives Of
the ST. Louis railroad met at the city
hall for the purpose of presenting the
matter of getting the right-of-way
through the city, so as to connect that
road with the Wisconsin, Minnesota
& Pacific road.
The gentlemen representing the
road who were present were Messrs.
A. L. Mohler general manager; A. e.
Clark, general counsel; T. E. Clark,
superintendent: ]. Eflinger, civil
engineer, and Col. Cook, a stock
holder.
These gentlemen are in earnest and
will push the matter in the spring.
They are the new officers of the road
since it's recent sale. Our citizens
were unanimous in assuring them that
they have the good will of the city and
promised to aid them as much as pos
sible.
Among those who responded with
feeling of good will were, Messrs. r.
d. Hubbard, j. G. Wise, ST., John
Klein, S. Barney, FL. P. Christensen,
G.. M. Palmer and Aid. Peterson.
1t is their intention to follow the
river over the old line surveyed by the
Northeastern road. A vote of thanks
was extended the people of Mankato
for the hospitable manner in which
they had been received.

THE NEW JAIL.

County commissioners met Friday
forenoon and accepted the new Jail
from the hands OF the contractors.
The residence portion is all COM
pleted and is ready for occupancy.
The cell work will not be completed
for several weeks yet. The entire
structure is so perfect in every par
ticular that the commissioners had no
hesitancy about accepting it.
Perhaps to Supt. j. 0. L. Burke, OF
st. Paul, who has had the entire
charge of the building, is due more
credit than to any other person. Mr..
Burke has built four jails, and pro-
nounces this the most complete in
every particular 1t is declared a
better building than the Rochester
jail, and is the best in the state. The
superintendent thinks the oak finish
on the entire lower floor is the finest
he ever saw.
The second floor is finished with
cherry, rubbed with oil, and the hard
ware is BACKED and brOnZed. Mr..
Geo. Dentlinger has done very ex-
cellent job of painting, the very best
materials being used. Adams &
Single are the well-known contract
ors, and Mr.. A. o. Nepil. of ST. Paul,
put in the heating apparatus. Meyer
Bros, of this city, are doing the cell
work
The jail has no connection with the
residence portion, but numerous peek
holes from different rooms makes it
very easy to watch the prisoners. The
most modern improvements prevail
throughout, there being baths and
closets on both floors. An exclusive
bath room is provided for female
prisoners.
The laundry room in the basement
is something to make the housewife
rejoice. There are three stationary
soapstone washtubs, with faucets for
both cold and hot water in each. The
kitchen and pantry are models Of
convenience, containing both cold
and hot water. The tiny water motor
which furnishes the water power for
the entire building, is located in the
kitchen, and is very simple to man.
age. The boiler in the basement is
also very easily managed, and only re-
Quires three pounds of steam to heat
the building.
We are glad to announce that Supt.
Burke has been retained to complete
the grating and cell work, as he was
appointed for. Mr.. Burke has proved
himself the right man for the right
place, and perhaps no other person in
the state is better qualified for the
position than he. Anyone having any
misgivings as to the county's money
being judiciously expended should
call at the new Jail, when those in
charge will be pleased to show them
through the building.
Blue Earth county's next sheriff
will certainly have home of which
he may be justly proud.

To Measure n Room,

In a catalogue recently issued the
following rules are given for the meas
urement of rooms to determine the
exact amount of paper required to cover
the surface. AS most paper. when
trimmed. is 1s inches wide and "a feet
to the single piece. a piece will contain
SO square feet. Measure the length and
height OF each wall In feet and null
tiply. Add together the number of
square feet Of each wall. getting the total
number Of square feet. Divide this total
by Sc. which will give you the number OF
pieces required for side wall. Allow one
half piece OF paper for each door and win
dow. To allow for waste In matching. 1t Is
safer to divide by 80 instead OF 36. To
find the number of single pieces required
for ceiling multiply length by width in
feet and divide by 90.

A POWERFUL BODY.

The Constitutional Convention has

an to the authority OF the Court 10 IN
terfere with its action. An injunction
has been Issued to restrain the ConVen-
ton from unseating member. The
Convention determines not to heed the
process of the Court. taking the bold
and apparently tenable ground that 1t
Is vested with the very highest and
most solemn act Of popular sovereignty
that can be exercised, the construction
of the organic law of the State. and can
have no superior but the people them
selves.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
Convention is supreme as to Its actions
and cannot be under the authority Of
a court 1t may abolish 1t II will.
But II the Convention Is at liberty to
disregard the process OF the courts and
to hold Itself above their authority. Is
there not all the more reason that II

A MODERN PICKWICu,

When the Court gave Mrs. Bardell
n verdict and damages In her famous
breach-of-promise case against Mr.
Pickwick, the amiable but resolute de-
fendant at once made up his mind that
he would never pay the amount II he
had to spend the remainder Of his days
in prison. All the persuesions OF his
friends, all the remonstrcnces OF his
faithful legal adviser. failed ~ change
his purpose. His sense Of .ha Injustice
of the decision was so strong that no
considerations could induce him to yield
to the wrong.
Mr.. d. A. Clarke, now and for two
years past resident of Ludlow Street

Pickwick. Two years ago Mr.. Clarke's
broker sued him for the small balance
of one hundred and forty dollars and
eighty cents. 1t was an Unjust claim
Mr.. Clarke declared, but a jury thought
differently, and gave n verdict against
him. The defendant vowed he would
never pay the money. and as ne refused
to produce a paper when ordered to do
so by the Court he was committed for
contempt ard locked up. He has re-
| mained In Ludlow Street Jail ever since,

FOUGHT AFTER THE BALL.

Robert Thomas. thirty years old, n

street. and Nelson Vanderbeck, thirty
five years old. n shipping clerk, of 443
West Thirty-hfth street. took their
wives out to dance last night and re-
turned this morning at about 6 O'Clock
to Thomas's apartments.
While there, 1t Is said, Thomas, who
was very drunk. started to beat his
wife. Nanderbeck interfered, and the
two men got to scufiling around the
room.
In the struggle Thomas grabbed n
twenty-two-c -calibre revolver from the
mantel and held 1t in his hand. A mo-
ment later II was discharged a ball en-

and Thomas started with Vanderbcck

Cahill saw the two. Noticing the blood
he questioned Thomas, and when he
learned that there had been a shooting
