The National Municipal League.

In compliance with the resolution
adopted at the last conference, and at the
request and invitation Of the Mayor of
Minneapolis, the Board of Trade, the

Union, of Minneapolis, the Executive Com
mitee of the National Municipal League
issues this call for second National
Conference for Good City Government to
be held in Minneapolis, beginning ON
Saturday, December s, 1894. This date

the same month, and it is hoped that
all who attend one of these conventions
NAV be present at the other.
: The First National Conference, held
in Philadelphia in January last, was
followed by remarkable development
of pu bile interest and a decided advance
in public opinion respecting the evils
of our Municipal politics.

very exciting time was witnessed on
Silver street, between Fore and Com
mercial streets, about 8 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. The liquor deputies were
pursuing still hunt in the vicinity,
when man suddenly bolted from cover,
with the sheriffs in hot pursuit. and
endeavored to make his escape with a
gallon jug, that presu msbly was full OF
contents, or something else. 1t was, at
all events, very precious to the fugitive,
for he could not have developed great
er burst of speed If he had been running
tor his life. He was at disadvantage
in two respects, however; in the first
place becauseIhe was not aware of the
movements of his purshers; and in the
second because his excitement made
him luse his head. A group of his &C
quaintances, who apparently were as
much interested in the issue of the
chase as he was himself, tried hard to
help him by coaching him, and yelling
words of encouragement to him as he
doubled and twisted, with a view to
throwing the, pursuers off his trail.
More by good luck than good judgment,
he succeeded for they always hove in
sight around one corner Ejust as he was
vanishing around another. Before the
hunt was over, public attention was di-
rected from it by another incident re-
sulting from it. A man who had sam
pied the jug then in jeopardy, or some
other similar vessel, SO deeply that he
was only able to preserve an upright
position with tie aid. Of the wall, was
SO carried away,by sympathetic excite
ment that he 15sfs his balance, Topped
head foremost to the sidewalk, gashed
his forehead and went off into an alco-
holic fit. Every body's attention was di-
verified to the PROSTATE form of the
drunkard, who lay as if killed by the
blow, and who bled profusely, and in
the excitement the man with the jug
escaped.

Mr.. skILLINGs' FENCE.
1t will Come Down This Morning and
Fears of Famine Will Vanish From
Peaks Island.

An important hearing was held in the
Aldermen's room yesterday afternoon,
in regard to the lay ing out of Centen-
NAL street Cd Peaks Island. The hearing
was before Aldermen Thompson and
Peters and Councilmen Ilsley, of the
committee on laying tout new streets.
1t seems that this question is very i'm
portant one to the islanders as it affects
in an important way their system of OBJ
tanning supplies of fuel and food. For
twenty years there has been a travelled
way from Island avenue down to the
beach, where is the only suitable land
ling for the scows bringing food and fuel
to the island.
This way has never been.a public way,
and recently MIR. Robert NJ. Skillings,
who owns the land has fenced up the
way and prevented access to the scow
landing.
This has brought up the question
whether the city will lay out this way
as a street, paying the proper damages
to Mr.. SkilIings. The length of this
Centennial street as it is called, is about
700 feet, and 1T Will cost ABOUT Souo TO
lay It out.
There was quite large attendance OF
islanders at the hearing yesterday. Mr..
Skillings did not oppose the laying out
of the street if the proper damages were
given.
Alderman Dam presented the case of
the petitioners, who were represented also
by Messrs. Alonzo e. Drown, Charles
Trefethen John Frelick, Captain Taylor,
James Jones and Melvin Skillings.
The committee have not decided the
matter After the hearing Alderman
Dam arranged with Mr.. Skillings that
pending the settlement of the question
the fence should be taken down. 1t
will come down this morning.

A PUBLIC HEARING.
Mayor and Aldermen will Investigate
the Police Scandal.

Charges Will Be Brought Against oih'erS
Norton and Miles and the nearing WI
Be Held Monday Evening.
The investigation which has been go
ing on before the Mayor and Police Com
mittee for several days was terminated
yesterday afternoon, after pro'rso'eo
hearings and the examination oil iafee
number of witnesses. There has peoii
much loose talk about astounding reVe-
lations, which would shake tne ~hoie
town, ETC., etc. Some witnesses VIM
have.appeared before the commlt1ee na'e
before being summoned, maos iaise
talk of direful things which they knew
about the police force. In most Gases u
this sort the evidence given mas owlh-
died down to some recitals OF mere per-
sonal spites or grie, ances. 1t should not
be understood, however, that this Is the
case with all the testimony given.
Enough has been presented to require
that at least two officers, Messrs. Nortoh
and Dana Miles. shall be brought oelore
the Board of Aldermen to answer TO
definite charges OF misconduct IN ONCE
Mayor Baxter said yesterday afternoon
that the testimony had not yet neen
fully analysed and studied; and Until
that had been done the committee couid
not say definitely what charges would DC
presented against the two officers.
The hearing will be held Monday eve
ming and will be open to the public.
1t is generally understood that ofhcer
Norton has accused both himself and
Officer Miles of accepting hush money
from saloon keepers and others.

A SALUTARY LESSON.
II Does Not Pay to Riot on the Elec.
trio Cars.

Various Phases of the Drama of Life as
Seen in Judge Gould's Yesterday Morn
ing.
The chief event in the police court
yesterday morning was salutary lesson
administered to Angus Mckinnon,
young scion of Cape Breton, VINO at
tempted to monopolize an electric car
at the head of Preble street late Monday
evening, McKinEon came into the car
with a cigar, and when Conductor A r.
chic Hawthorne demonstrated, MckIn-
non made it known that he didn't care
for Hawth orne or anyone else. There
upon trouble arose. Hawthorne was as
saulted, a window OF the car was broken
and Nick innon was finally dragged from
the car by Policeman Brown and two
associates
Yesterday morning McKinnon was ar
raigned for assault and for resisting an
officer. He seemed much dazed by the
proceedings and explained that having
taken two drinks before he entered the
car Monday night all of the lively pro-
him. He supposed however that he was
guilty of assault To the charge of re-
sisting the officer he pleaded not guilty
although he qualified it after Officer
Brown testified with the statement"l sup
pose the gentleman knows"
President Wood, Manager Newman,
and Hon. c. F. Libby were present for
the railroad company.
Mr.. Libby said that the company felt
that the affair taking place on oneiof
the cars of the company in public
place and in she presence of the passen-
gers was a serious offence and he felt
that an example should be made.
Judge Gould said that dist ur bance
of this sort in car where women and
children travel and where they are not
able to escape as on the street, is serl-
GUS offense and one that should receive
exemplary punishment.
Therefore McKinnonF was sentenced to
sixty days in Jail for the assault, and at
the expiration of that term fine OF
thirty dollars and cost.
Thomas Hyde, for assault on Sailor
Ramsey, got ninety days in Jail. Ram
sey was present with his head done up
in cotton batting so that only one eye
was visible.
William Griffin, Nellie O'Brien and
Hugh Mccarthy got three dollars and
costs for intoxi cation.
Walter F. Fowler, Mary E. Pratt and
Eta NJ. Hartnett got three dollars and
third costs for intoxication; but the
fine of the women was RENTED upon
their promise to sign the pledge.

THE SCARLET FEVER.
Mayor Orders Monument Street School
House to be Disinfected as Precautioh-
airy Measure.

There has been considerable alarm IN the
eastern portion of the city about the scatlo'
fever which has been prevailing month or
more. The physicians have not 5eheVeu
that there was cause for unusual alarm
but in view of existing apprehens.ons. the
Board of Health deemed it proper to make
an investigation. As a result o. their action
the Board have sent to Mayor Baxter the
following letter:
Office of the Board of Health.
November 2S, 1894.
To Hon. James p Baxter, Mayor of Port
land:
In view of the number of cases of scarlet
fever existing in the eastern part of the
city at the present time. We think 1t adVis-
able to make few suggestions and recon-
nendations, which if followed will neoes-
sarily tend to check the disease and con-
fine it within a comparatively small COM
pass.
After careful examination we think
that the principal cause OF SO many cases OF
scarlet fever is that the disease has peen
spread from numerous mild cases not at
first recognized or reported by the parents.
We know, however. of no willful violation
of any parent to report case of this k1no.
MANY cases have heen SO mild that the
patients have had no physician in attend
ance.
It has been suggest ed that the Monument
Street school house. where many THE chill
dreu who have had the disease attend
school might possibly be a cause or source
of contagion.
We desire to take every precaut1on within
our lower to prevent the spread of this
disease. and would recommend that the
clothing of every child who has been ex-
posed TO this disease be thoroughly fumi-
gated before he is admitted to the schools.
We would urge upon the parents the impor-
lance of reporting every doubtful case at
once to the Board of aealth, SO that it may
investigate the case in its early stages
thereby preventing the exposure of other
children.
We fur Their deem it expedient that the
Monument street school house be properly
fhmigated. not because we believe that the
school house is source of contagfon. put
1t will be more satisfactory we think to the
parents of children who attend school at
this place, and if there is a possibility OF
the diesase being contracted in this school
room, the cause will be removed.
Very respectfully.
HENRY P. MERRILL. M. D.,
GEO. Il. CUMMINGS. M. D.,
EDWIN L. DYER,
Board of Health.
In accordance with these recommends
lions Mayor Baxter has ordered the Monu-
ment street school house to be disinfected
thoroughly. and it will be done Friday and
Saturday.
