The committee on improvements Of the
Park Board Wednesday went over the
east river bank boulevard, with view to
ascertaining where the 5000 recently
appropriated for the improvement Of the
boulevard could be most proftably ex-
pended. Commissioner Stoft said the
committee found they could improve the
roadway to Essex street, but would en-
counter considerable difficulty on account
of quarries from Essex street to Oak
street. From Oak street to the city linn
it's the boulevard is in good shape. The
boards engineer was directed to prepare
working plat, and the committee will
consider it next Thursday.
The Board of Trade Monday spent
considerable time to devise plan where
by the three representatives from Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, who contem-
plate visiting the Northwest to study
agriculture, could be brought to the
State. 1t will require $3.50 to bring the
gentlemen to America, and as funds for
second class passage are already avail
able, it was decided to start subscrip-
tion paper among business men to raise
the balance, which is $50. The 500 Line
will grant free transportation to the visi'
tors from Montreal to Minneapolis. 1t
is thought that the advertisement which
the gentlemen will be able to give the
North Star state on their return to Great
Britain will amply compensate for the
outlay.
On May "a Mrs. O'Mara, living at 1920
Spring street northeast, lost a pocket
book containing $l10 in cash on one Of
the principal streets. Two young ladies
passed the spot where the wallet is sup,
posed to have been dropped 10 minutes
later and picked it up. As they never
advertised their find and continued to
keep mum, the police went to work on
the case and succeeded in locating them.
It was given out by Chief of Police Smith
Tuesday that unless the money is re-
turned to Mrs. O'Mara within the course
of few days both young ladies will be
placed behind the bars at the central po-
lice station. The detective who worked
on the case refused to divulge their
names, saying that they we're respectable
people and would be given chance to
return the money.
The case of Fred Beygeh and Charles
A. Fuller, charged with violating the
fish laws, we're Wednesday morning dis
missed by Judge Holt in the municipal
court. They we're arrested under the
special law of 1889 regulating fishing in
Hennepin county. The penalty by the
law was fixed at fine from $40 to $25.
In 1891 general law was passed repeal
ing the penalty clause of the special law.
In 1898 another general law was passed
repeating the law # 1891, thus leaving
the special law Of 1889 without a penalty
attached, as the law passed last year
makes the fishing season commence May
Is, while the special law fixes the day at
June 1. The two laws thus conflict and
the case was dismissed on these grounds.
The special law is therefore knocked out,
and point which local sportsmen have
been wanting to have tested for some
time is settled.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Last Wednesday Miss Abbott, sister of
Mrs. Judge Lochren, who has been spend
ing the year in Washington with the
family of the commissioner of pensions,
was united in marriage with Congress-
man David A. Mercer of Omaha. Mr..
Mercer is the Republican representative
of the Second Nebraska district, and is a
rising young man in Western politics.
He is lawyer, and stands high in his
profession. Miss Abbott has large
circle of friends in Minneapolis and the
Northwest. There is little romance
with the match. The couple met for the
first time at reception given on Christ
mas day by Congressman Hutchinson OF
Texas, and it was case Of love at first
sight. The ceremony occurred at st.
Johns Episcopal church at $50 in the
afternoon. Judge Lochren gave the
bride away. The bridal pair will take q
short wedding trip to Virginia Beach.
The grain growers convention, to be
held in this city next month, continues
to excite interest in the cities and the
country disarict. Ignstius Donnelly,
writing further on the convention, says:
'sLet the coming convention raise enough
money to rent an elevator at Duluth for
one year, and try the experiment. Let
us persuade some such man as Gen. T. III.
Barrett, of Grant county, to take charge
