The law forbids timber syndicates to ad-

and he hired the men TO "hold down"
claims contrary to Law until title could be
secured. He was the slickest man In the
timber shark business. After Jameson
stole the deed from the general land office,

The Directors Instruct Their Engineers to
Secure Vehicles Having Wide Tires to
Save tho Public Streets.
At the meeting of the Board of Street
and Sewers Directors last Tuesday q
resolution was adopted changing the
fiscal year of the department from April
31st, to January 31st, at which time it
will terminate hereafter This change
was made so that sthe reports can be
made out in the dull winter months.
The following resolution was adopted:
Be 10 resolUed, That the secretary notify
the street commissioners and engineer in
charge of sewers that in the hiring OF carts
and teams for the prosecution of all work
of this department for the coming season
of 1894 they should give the preference,
other conditions being equal, to those carts
and wagons whose wheels have wide tires,
and that it is the sense of this board that
all traffic teams in the city should have 4
width of tire in proportion to the load car
ried and that no cart tire should be less
than four inches in width.
The secretary is further instructed TO
seno copy of this resolution to all per-
sons wishing to hire carts and teams for
city work.
The board was Of the opinion that all
carts should have wide tires. The mar
row tires do considerable damage to the
streets.

A SUIT FOR FOUR MILLIONS
That Brings Out Sensational
Developments.
TO MAKE ONE CHILD LEGITIMATE
1t Will Render Eleven Others
lllegitimate.
The Question Involved is Whether
Sophy Creyier Was tho Wife of COM
inodore Kittson and the Mother of His
First Child--A Dramatic Scene in Court.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. 23.-Probably
the most sensational suit ever brought
in the Minnesota capital, was that begun.
yesterday by the heirs of Sophia Gre
vier of Mcleod county, against the heirs
of the late Norman W. Kittson, for the
$4,000,000 left by the latter, upon the
claim that Mrs. Crevier was the wife cf
Mr.. Kittson and that all Of the children
of Mr.. ISittson, IL in number, are
illegitimate, with the exception of Nor
man Kittson, the eldest, now 81 years old.
The scene in the court room was in
tensely dramatic. The central figure
was Father Sayoux, the pioneer prast
Of Minnesota, now so years old Bcsssle
him sat Charles Perry, brother Of Sophia
Crevier, who is alleged by the claimasts Is
to be the first and only lawful wife OF
Norman w. Kittson.
Sophia Creyicr, or Sophy Perry, as
she was when Commodore Kittson &pst
knew her, is alleged to be the motheS Sf
the commodore's eldest son, Norman
Kittson, of this city. If her claim as
the widow of Commodore Kittson is
established, it will make illegitimate
heirs living with the exception of Nor
lIld1l, WHO Was biiC Olly ucli piSsCsAb dV
the opening of the suit yesterday morn
ing.
1t is alleged that during the life time
of Sophia ,Creyier Mr. +. G. Jerett, one
of the claimants, under written con-
| tract with Sophia Creyier, happened to
learn of her early alliance with Com
modore Kittson through compiling a
history of Mcleod county. He in
formed her of her alleged right and oh
tanned, in common with Judge Brisbinc,
written contract calling for one-half
of the widows third of the Kittson
4 estate.
The claimants hold that common
| law marriage existed between Sophy
Perry and Norman w. Kittson, and that
all other marriages contracted by either
party afterward were illegal. The Kilt
sons, on the contrary, claim that this
union was merely liason, and that tho
claimants have no legal right to any
! portion of the Kittson estate.

SEA ISLANDS SUFFER- ERs.
A Report of Their Sad Condition and OF
Their Pressing Needs, as Made by a
Committee of Friends.

A Report of Their Sad Condition and of
Their Pressing Needs, as Made by q
Committee of Friends.
A committee of the representative
meeting of friends in Philadelphia and
vicinity has lately visited the Sea Islands
near Beaufort, S. c., to investigate the
present condition of the people who
suffered by the cyclone and food of
last summer, and to ascertain their most
urgent needs and what is being done to
supply them. Also to find safe and re-
liable channels through which relief
can be distributed. The prominent
facts elected by the tour of inspection
are these:
Thirty thousand people are left with
out the means of support until crop
can be planted and raised; having lost
houses, crops, tools, furniture and their
usual avocations by which they earned
money IN the winter season. The last
mentioned loss being consequent on the
destruction of the phosphate industry
by the demolition of works in which it
was carried on, and that of the dredges
used to excavate the phosphate rock
| that underlies the shallow waters sur
rounding the islands. Hundreds Of
men were willing to work for so cents
per day il work could be had.
The Red Gross Society has been dis
| tributing to families OF seven persons q
peck of, hominy grits and one pound Of
salt pork per week. But adequate funds
to continue even this meagre supply is
not now in view.
Many boats have been destroyed,
limiting the appliances for fishing and
gathering oysters with which to eke out
their scanty provisions.
Disease from exposure and INSULT
cient nutriment was making inroads on
the strength of the people that is likely
to render them still more helpless as
winter progresses. They suffer pa
tiently, but unless relief is given then
| by their charitable friends, death from
want is likely to be the end of theil
calamities.
Food, clothing, tools, common build,
ing hardware, farming implements anc
seeds, are now in urgent request Sew
eral well-known benevolent ladies who
have long labored in these islands ar'
readyto oversee the distribution of sup
plies. Goods in kind can be sent to

ing house, said that Scott brought Lang

drug Griftcd into tho lodging-house,
where he was relieved of money and
clothing.
Scott stated that he found Langridge
drunk on the street, while Welch tcsti-

PUDOLER COOKS FINE RECORD.

He Denonnces the Wilson Bill, but Col
Iects SIS u Piece from Poles on the Prom
Use of Getting Work for Them in Will
minaton Shops.
A. man named Charles w. Cook has
been actively prosecuting politics in the
Old Ferry mills, where he is employed
as an assistant boss puddler. His most
recent method is to take around to his
subordinates, which it is supposed he
has perfect right TO do if so he wishes,
and ask them to sign petition to Semi
tor Gray, requesting that gentleman to
do all in his power in the Senate in op-
position TO the passage of the Wilson
bill.
The men in the shops who are in any
way amenable to his influences are OF
the opinion that what Mr.. Cook is doing
is in very bad taste. They think that
such matters should be left outside OF
business.
Cook, who is very fond on these
occasions of loudly proclaiming his love
for the American workingman and OF
his sole desire to see his position secure
from the dangers of foreign pauper
labor, was arrested recently on the
charge of obtaining money fraudulently
from ignorant Poles, only just arrived
in this country. He got the money
from them on the promise of obtaining
work for them. These poor fellows al
best earn only $1.20 day and average
three or four days in the week work.
Yet Cook placed o high tariff rate of So
apiece on the men on the promise to get
work for them. In two OF the cases he
failed to keep the contract. Tho men
had him arrested on the charge Of
obtaining money fraudulently. He was
arraigned in Justice Monaghan's office
He pleaded guilty, thinking that was
his best course, and was let go on re.
turning the money to his victims.
