business at 334 Washington avenue
south, presented themselves before
uperintcndent of Police Smith yester-
day with arguments in a somewhat
mixed case. Johnson had taken watch
into the money lenders place and
asked for loan of SO on it. The watch
was brass, but Johnson said it was solid
gold and had cost him 800. Ferodowill
agreed to let him have s25 on the watch,
but requested him first TO sign an atfi-
davit that the watch was gold John
son did SO and then the money lender
declined to give him either money or
watch, but demanded a payment of s.
for his services as q notary in drawing
up the affidavit. The superintendent
sent the men to the municipal court,
telling each to get a warrant Of arrest
for the other. The colored man, how
ever, got the best of 1t. de was granted

THE SYNDICATE FIRE.
1t Is Estimated the Loss Will Be
About 100000.


The origin of the disastrous fire in the
Syndicate block Sunday afternoon is
still unknown. A great many theories
are advanced, but there appears to be
little foundation for any of them. The
suspicion that the fire was started by an
incendiary appears to be groundless.
Fire Marshal Pierce looked over the
ground carefully yesterday. but was I'M
able to come to any definite decision, save
that the blaze started in the basement
of Fillmore & Winchester's furniture
StOrS. Insurance men have agreed that
the loss will not amount to as much as
estimated at the time of the fire. 1t
was stated yesterday that 100000 would
cover everything.
The burnt building presented de-
plorable appearance yesterday. Crowds
stood about on Nicollet avenue during
the entire day, looking up at the black.
ened ruins. There is absolutely no
salvage. The front wall is about the
only thing that is worth any thing at all.
The rear wall bulges out badly, and the
cost of repairing it will be practically
as much as that of new wall.
Ii was claimed yesterday by the
water department that the cause Of the
delay at the beginning of the fire, and
the inability of the firemen to get the
water through the hose, was not low
pressure, but stoppape of the water
main at the street intersections. Reg
istrar Moody stated that these lntersec-
tions always became clogged with dirt
if no flushing were done. Such being
the case, it would behoove the city to
look after the flushing of the mains
and sewers rather than wait until some
big fire occurred. That the fire hose
used by the fire department is of poor
quality was eXemplified during the fire,
when more than bakers dozen burst.

THE UNION LEAGUE.
The Officers Elected and Initia-

ton Fees Reduced.
The Union league held Its annual
meeting last night. There was a large
attendance, and the discussions on the
various questions at issue we're enter
tanning, to say the least. The club has
not held many meetings of late, but 1t
is likely that hereafter they will be of
more frequent occurrence. The follow
ing officers were elected:
President, William P. Roberts; first
vice president. Il. n. Hendrix; second
vice president, A. E. Merrill; secretary,
D. M. G. Scribner; treasurer, F. E. Hol-
ton.
A committee of three was appointed
to canvass the matter of the executive
committee thoroughly and report nomi-
nations at meeting to be held next
Monday night. The executive commit
tee is formed Of one Republican from
each ward.
A number of speeches were made con-
corning the inactivity Of the club as a
WHOLE and it was decided that something
must be done to increase the member
ship and bolster up the treasury. The
sentiment of the meeting was that the
initiation fee and membership dues
should be reduced materially, for there
were great many Republicans who
would like to join, but could not afford to
nnder the old regulations. After arguing
the matter pro and con the meeting
reduced the initiation fee from SIS to IS
and the dues from SIP year TO Sc. 1t
was also decided that whoever desired
to join during the present year could do
so by paying the initiation fee, and the
dues be waived until the fist Of next

A HooSier Sensation

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 15.-Judge Baker,
of the United States circuit court, to-
day issued restraining order against
the city of indianapolis and Beverly
Porter, local contractor, to prevent
the collection Of an assessment for
street improvements levied against the
estate Of Catherine Bobbs, of Harris
burg. Pa. The restraining order holds
virtually that the present charter under
which the city of indianapolis operates
is unconstitutional. 1t is probuble that
the case will be carried to the United
States supreme court. The ruling has
caused sensation, and If sustained
will overthrow the city's present form

FRED GOES SCOT FREE.
VERDICT IN THE CHAMBERLAIN CASE
rs "N0T GUILTY."
THE sALACIOUs CASE rs OVER.

The Defendant Discharged on the
Charge Of Robbery-The Case
OF Assault Goes Over, but 1t
Will Probably Not Be Tried
There We're Two Obdurate
Jurors Who Finally Gave In.
The disgusting Chamberlain case Is
over at last. and by the verdict handed
in by the jury at 8 O'Clock yesterday
morning, the defendant, Fred Chamber
LAIN. goes free. The jury went out at
1l:45 Saturday morning, and when a vote
as to guilt or innocence was taken, ten
voted for acquittal and two for convic-
ton. The two jurors. Harry Edelman
and Thomas Phelps, were obdurate and
refused to fall IN line with the majority
until few moments before the court
was appraised that verdict had been
reached.
This verdict disposes of the charge Of
robbery, but there is still another charge
against Chamberlain--that of assault.
Although the state maintains that it
will push this charge, also the one of
robbery against Mrs. Zublin-Chamber-
lain, it is unlikely the county will care
to bear any more expense in the matter.
Both cases were allowed to go over to
the next term of court. 1t is also I'M
likely that Mr.. Holkrook, the aged
plaintiff. will care to have the dirty
stu fl aired again. Chamberlain was in
the court room when the jury came in.
He stated that he was almost sure of
acquittal from the very start.
Before God" he said, II am inno-
cent of the charge. The jury was right
in the verdict"

tons of various kinds by the score were

printing at very low figure. The

pany. The matter was referred to the

GERMANY's REVENUE.
Tax Question Discussed in the
ReiChstag.

BERLIN. Jan. Is. In the reichstag to-
day DIR. MIGUEL. minister of finance,
said that the necessity of an increase of
the imperial revenue was generally rec
ogniZed. The reduction of the customs
revenue, he added, amounted to thirty
five million marks, and no practical
counter-prOposals were made. Against
the tobacco bill it was suggested that
the essential point was that the imperial
charges should not be shifted upon the
shoulders of the individual states; for,
1t was claimed. the empire must rather
give than be perpetually asking.
Herr Richter. in reply, said that the
bill. in his opinion, would simply mean
the death of the tobacco industry.
After some further discussion the to-
bacco bill was referred to the stamp tax
committee. in spite of the opposition of
the Radicals. South Germans, Peoples
party and Socialists.
The incident at the banquet of the
commercial congress on Friday last
which caused DR.. Miguel to leave the
banquet hall in anger after being criti-
cised has been settled by satisfactory
explanation, which has been furnished
to DIR. Miguel by the president of the
congress.

FUTURE PUNISHMENT
The Subject of a Paper Before the
Baptist Ministers.

at the meeting of Baptist ministers
yesterday an interesting paper was read
by Rev. E. S. Van Ness, of Anoka, on
the subject of where Are We At|'
The rather sensational query was dis
cussed from Sectarian standpoint, the
author of the paper cOnfinlnS himself
to the doctrine OF future punishment.
He cOntended that the community was
continually modifying its theological
conceptions, and many views that were
at present abhorrent to the majority
would probably be accepted by future
generations without comment. In
speaking of future and eternal punish
ment. he said that there was nothing to
warrant the statements that the charac-
ter of a person was permanently fixed
at death, and eternal punishment or
eternal bliss were the only alternatives.
The meeting of Presbyterian minis
tiers yesterday was devoted to a review
of the week of prayer, the reports be-
ing very encouraging.
