to be raised by subscription will be
$SS, 600, making a total of $4,000 to be
raised, if the first proposition is to be
carried out. If the second propositio~
is carried out the amount to be raised
will be increased to $161, 000
Any defendant can subscribe to such
proportion of said amount to be
raised as shall be equal to 10 per cent
of the face of the notes which
the defendant owns against the
West Pullman company. Any gen
eral creditor of the estate of the North
western Guaranty Loan company may
subscribe in the first instance for such
proportion of the total amount neces-
sary to be raised as shall be equal to
2 per cent of the face of the claim of
the general creditor, but such creditor
cannot subscribe under the same claim
for both classes. If the total subscrip-
tons seem likely to overrun the
amount necessary to pay Off the first
mortgage, the subscriptions under the
second claim shall be scaled down pro-
portionateiy.
All subscriptions must be paid in
cash to Theophilius King, No. %
Equitable building, Boston, Mass,
within ten days after the sale is or
dered by the court as stated in the
ORDER of Judge Jamison, naming the
date for the argument for and against
the sale as a week from Monday.
{ AS soon as eXpcdient, the bonds,
property or other securities purchased
or received in accordance with or in
pursuance of either the first or sec
ond propositions shall be divided
equitably and ratably among the pur-
chasers pro rata in the ratio that their
several subscriptions as paid in cash
in the above shall bear to the total
amount.
The offer is signed by c. c. Chap
man, of Portland, Me-; Theophilius
King, of Boston, Mass; and Edward
A Smith, of Providence, RI.
Just what the exact proposition
means is this: A new issue of bonds.
The whole matter will be settled when
the petition asking that the receivers
be allowed to sell the land is heard be-
fore Judge Jamison a week from Mon
day, and at that time it will be decided
upon which of the two propositions
will be accepted. The sentiment seems
particularly favorable to the second at
present, and it is believed that it
would be easier upon the creditors to
fulfill it. AS a matter of fact, both
propositions are largely speculative in
their nature. They consist largely in a
manipulation of the bonds and claims
against the West Pullman association
for the purpose of getting rid of the
first mortgage of S150,0G0 in the belief
that the association can be pulled
through and the property can be dis
posed of to advantage.
1t will be noticed that the committee
whose names are signed to the propo-
sitions is the same as the reorganiza-
ton committee of the creditors recent
ly published, and this is one of the re-
suits of the work done by the Eastern
creditors in their attemt to reorganize
at least portion of the companies
that Menage ruined.
The second proposition to dispose Of
the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
building will come up in petition to
be put before the district court week
from yesterday according to the order
signed by Judge Jamison Friday.

GRIP TACKLES THE JURY.
The Epidemic No Respecter OF
Persons.

The Hayward jurors are not robust
body of men. Yesterday they were
nearly all busy talking divers kinds of
medicine designed to ward off the grip,
which has tackled them individually
and collectively. Not one of them feels
strong and well, and Judge Smiths
constituencies in adjourning court
last Thursday until Monday morning
came just in time to avert some bad
spells of sickness.
Deputy John Wall, who has charge
of the jurors, is beginning to feel a
trif1e under the weather himself, as he
has been obliged to act as nurse to
several of them.
The attorneys in the Hayward case
put in another hard days work, and
the vacation which is proving such a
kind of toll for them. The senior at
torneys, upon whom the summing up
of the evidence devolves, both realize
the solemn Importance Of leaving no
point uncovered, and a mastery ex-
position of the facts and theories of
the case will be presented by both the
county attorney and Mr.. Erwin.
Hayward is very impatient to know
his fate, and yesterday was in any
thing but a pleasant frame of mind.
AS the end of the trial approaches he
exhibits considerable nervousness, and
does not like to be left alone. His
direct examination will be taken up
again at $50 tomorrow morning.

neck to beam, dead. Coroner Kist-
Ter was at once notified, but did deem

held. Asplund leaves wife and four
children.

After High Water.

Inc county commissioners had an
other meeting yesterday morning in
the rooms in the court house and
received the report of the committee
appointed a week ago to consider the
Mlhnetonka dam matter. The com
mlttee, which was a representative
one, had considered the matter. and
We're almost unanimously of the opin-
Ion that it was not only advisable hut
good economy to see that a dam of
some kind be arranged for, and thai
at once.
1t was a general feeling, and so in
dlcated in the report, that the bench
mark for 1891 should be the height at
which the waters of the lake should
be maintained. The waters are now
nearly two feet below that mark and
are but eighteen inches above low
water mark for that year. Large
sums of money have been expended at
Minnetonka in dredging, and it would
be cheaper in the end to build the dam
and maintain the height in that way
than by doing the work of dredging
all over again.

ond street, Friday evening. De-
ceased was one of the best-known
men in the state, having come here
in the early '40's, and since that time
has taken part in nearly everything
that has been of benefit to his city
and state. During the past two
years he had been troubled with an
affection of the heart, and early in
the winter decided to go to Gaines
vile, Fla, partly on business and
partly to find relief. The change
was not beneficial, however, and he
returned to Saltwater on Monday
last. He began to grow worse gradu-
ally, until deaths messenger came.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from his late
home.

with George M. Seymour and Mr..
Webster as contractors for the con-
Wet labor of the state prison, which
contract was taken for a term of
six years. He sold his interest soon
afterward and began the manufact-
ure of brick, which he carried on in
connection with his trade for six
years. His business since that time
has been confined almost exclusively
to contracting in brick and stone
work. He was twice married His
first wife was Clara Greenleaf Has
kell, whom he married at Prospect
Grove, this state, in 1S47 In 1856 he
was married to Joanna Wright Hin
man, who died in 1884. He was the
father of three children, Clara Has
kell, Myron Shepard and William b,

is now Mrs. George Millard, and his
youngest son, William, is business
manager of the st. Josepi, Herald.

early days, and had occupied many
positions Of trust and honor. He
served two terms in the legislature
and was mayor of Saltwater two
terms. AT the time of his death he
was president of the Minnesota Old
Settlers association, and to it's mem
bers the news of his demise will be
a sad blow.

A LOVELY TIME.
Recreation of "a Stout Lady With IL
Flow of Language.

When the stout lady entered the ele-
waited at Fourteenth street she sat
down on the left-hand seat facing the
engine. There were little touches of
finery about her dress, whose presence
was explained when she caught sight
of an acquaintance on the other side Of
the car, and Immediately plunged
across the aisle and sat down beside
her.
"I've just been up calling on Lucy
Powers she began at once. She
used to live over near US, you know,
and l promised that as soon as she got
back from her tower I'd run across and
see her, and this morning Mrs. Ebler
told me she'd seen her on Broadway
over here and so 1 just rugged out and
came over right away"
She had a large. limp mouth, and
when she spoke her lips moved fiutter-
ingly, like the leaves of a poplar tree in
a breeze Punctuation was useless
arrangement of the grammarian, so far
as she was concerned, while her idea of
conversation evidently was that it was
6 form Of social entertainment in which
one person 'lii all the talking.
Il WAS SURPRISED W lIiu, Sic Idu Oll,
chow costly Lucy is fixed she has real
sweet little fiat with real nice furniture
and lots of dainty things scattered
about you know and though it wasn't
her calling day there were quite a
number of people very nice people too
looking at the things she had picked
up in their tower curiosities and such
things you know and 1 got a real nice
cup of chocolate though 1 can't say I
like chocolate in the afternoon prefer
tea don't you 1 do"
When she did stop it was for abso-
lutte want of breath, her method of re-
imitation being to draw in a long, deep
draught of breath through the open
mouth. Being once more charged she
dashed in again.
81 told William I'd call in for him
when left Lucy's, as he wants me to
look at some underclothing with him,
and he never so much as buys a pair
of socks now without first consulting
me, which is very complimentary, you
know, though somewhat trying when
you have SO many other things to look
after. I declare these cars do make
such row you can scarcely hear what
any one is saying. This is Franklin
street, isn't it? Well, good-by dear

UNWIELDY REAL ESTATE.

Jimmy LavvreHce7s Inability to
Unload Forces Him to the Wall.
James w. Lawrence, senior member
of the law firm of Lawrence, Trues-
dale & Corriston, yesterday made an
assignment to Cavour S. Langdon for
the benefit of his creditors. Mr.. Law
rence's liabilities are estimated at
100000.
The news of the assignment caused
considerable surprise, as Mr.. Lawrence
has been a prominent figure in the
local political and business world for
great many years, and deep regret was
expressed on ali sides.
1t was generally understood that
Mr.. Lawrence was large holder of
real estate, and it was thought that in
ability to dispose of this was the cause
of the assignment. MIR. Lawrence was
seen last night in regard to the mat
ter, and said that it was true that his
inability to dispose of the large amount
of property on his hands was largely
responsible for his embarrassment.
The immediate cause, however, was
the failure Of H. G. Side, which in
volved Mr.. Lawrence heavily as he
was on considerable paper with Mr..
Sidle. At the time of the failure
of Mr.. Sidle, some of the parties
holding notes on which Mr.. Law
renee appeared as indorser, were in
haste to force payment, and one party
had already begun suit against Mr..
Lawrence to recover on one of the
notes In order to give all of the cred
itors an equal chance Mr.. Lawrence
decided to assign for the benefit of
the creditors. He says there will be
no trouble in meeting all obligations,
as he has assets that will more than
meet his obligations He is prepar-
ing tabulated statement of assets
and liabilities, which will be pub
lished in a few days.
