A PROTEST.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
The business men and working
men of the First and Second wards
are up in arms against the petition
read before the city council at last
Saturday nights meeting, asking that
honorable body to take steps to stop
the quarrymen from quarrylng stone
in Madison avenue. There has been
no stone quarried in Madison avenue
for two or three years. The quarry
men are using the street to pile stone
and to turn around with teams, and
without that privilege they cannot
work the quarry, and for the city to
stop the quarry and throw fifty or six
ty men out of employment would be
too bad, and Madison avenue if
vacated could be of no use to the city.
We in the First ward are proud OF our
quarry industry and we feel that the
city at large is not doing as much as
it ought to to bring business to the
quarries.
The old residents of the First and
Second wards had nothing to do with
the getting up of that petition.

Hiss Lillian Sterling, OF Elysian, Dies
in this City.
Miss Lillian Sterling, of Elysian,
died at three o'clock Thursday after
noon at the residence of her friend,
Mrs. Wood. She was engaged to
teach at St. James and went there a
week ago Saturday, although not feel
ing we'll. The following Monday she
started for home but only got as far
as Mankato. Yesterday she was sud-
denly taken worse. She graduated
from the Mankato high school a year
ago last spring, and was twenty one
years of age. The family were noti-
fed and arrived last night, and the
remains were taken home today for
burial. She was bright and prom
Using young lady, and her death will
be greatly regretted by all who knew
her.
Supt. Kenaston says of her: "Miss
Sterling was young woman of rare
qualities of patience, kindness, cour-
tesy and scholarship; in short she was
an ideal woman in all her conduct and
duties in the high school. She won
from the first and always kept the
highest esteem of her teachers and
associates. She made noble record
in the schools, and her example and
influence will still effect the young
people, who knew her, with noble
motives, refining gentleness and earn
est purposes. The entire school
deeply sympathizes with her father,
brothers ard sisters in this their sad
loss"
Miss Sterling's mother died about
six weeks ago. About that time she
fell from a hammock, and this pro-
badly aggravated the attack of ty-
phoid fever which carried her away.
A brother also died last spring.

Aid. Lille wanted the council to.
purchase the addition to Sibley park
Aid. Andrews said that there was
81, 1892 in the park fund Sept. 1st,
which would more than buy the land.
On motion of Aid. Lille, the park
committee was authorized to make the
purchase at rot over $500. This ac-
tion was unanimous.
Engineer Haynes presented claim
of A. G. Mehl for damages to his house
in grading road to the gravel pit
two or three years ago. His house is
on the east half of lot 4, block IA,
Branson's addition. The matter was
referred to the committee on claims
and accounts.
Certain new sidewalks were ordered
laid.
Aid. Andrews moved that the board
of health be asked to examine into
the sanitary condition of Tourtellotte
Hospital and report to the council.
This was carried.
Engineer Haynes arose to a ques-
tion of personal privilege and read
clipping from paper containing re-
port of the criticism made by alder
men on the board of public works for
spending SO much money on the
streets without the knowledge of the
council made several weeks ago, and
said that it could not be further from
the truth, and called on the aldermen
to explain.
Ald.Andrews said that from the time
the present council came into power
until Aug. 1st, the records show that
there was expended from the road
fund S4,532.53 for material, and S3,-
565.52 for labor, of the total of S.
098.05, the sum of So, 100 was spent for
steam roller, leaving S4,99S.05.
Engineer Haynes stated that the
council audited every bill, as it is re-
CURED by law to do, and that it could
not claim to not know of the money
being expended.
After allowing the bills, the council
adjourned.

Charged With Assault in the Second
Degree.

Charles Blachl, the man who stab
bed Joseph Suse on Mr.. Benefits
front porch in North Mankato Sat-
urday night, was arrested Friday

Bennett. County Attorney Stone, of
St. Peter, arrived on the noon train,
and the hearing was had before JUS
tice Hall at the town hall on the

Blachl is charged with assault in

M, and he was released on 800 bond,

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING,

Inc heavy stroke of lightning Sun
day morning, which startled many
sound sleepers, fell upon the north
east corner of the Ray building,
knocking off the corner bricks above
the roof and scattering them upon
the ground below. The damage is but
thrilling and can be easily repaired.
The bolt seems to have glanced off
and struck the ground in one or two
places. 1t is fortunate that no more
damage was done. Some boards and
shavings near by were set on fire, but
the rain eXtinguished it.

The committee which metthe M. &
St. L. officials at Minneapolis yester-
day has returned, and from Mr.. L.
Patterson we learn that it was well
received and encouraged to think
that another train will be put on
shortly between Mankato and Water
vile, to run as desired. Mr.. Mohler
and Mr.. Hopkins represented the
road, and the former said that as this
was the first time any Mankato men
had called on them to make COM
plant, they had taken it for granted
that everything had always been sat-
isfactOry.
The M. &. St. L. officials seemed to
be much concerned over the proposed
Omaha change, and thought at first
that the committee had come to see
them about that. They left the i'm
preston that something would be
done, although saying nothing de-
fnite1u Mr. Moh1er said that he
would consult with President Cable,
of the Rock Island, and thought that
he would be willing that improve
ments be made at Mankato.
