from Charles Barton yesterday by
Judge Elliot, cruelty and drunkenness
being alleged. The principal witness
was a friend of the plaintiff, who
swore that she had seen the defend

The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, which has petitioned the United
StGses court to have its lease of termi-
nal facilities in this city annulled, will
doubtless build a new depot and es>
tablish terminal facilities at the foot
of Third avenue south. The Northern
Pacific claims that it is paying some
thing like 100000 annually to maintain
its present facilities, which is con-
sidered excessive.
A man giving his residence as 81
Eighth street north hired a valuable
horse and buggy at a Cedar avenue
stable on Tuesday, stating that he
wished to use the rig about two
hours. Yesterday the proprietor of
the stable called at police headquarters

to adjoining towns to look out for the
belated gentleman.
Tests of water pressure in the lum-
Der districts were made yesterday by
Chief Stetson and Jack Mcconnell,
of the water works department, for the
purpose of determining if the pressure
in districts so near the pumping sta
ton would be sufficient without the
aid of fire engine. The tests were
very unsatisfactory, and prove that
an engine is necessary in the locali-
tiles visited.
The city hospital matter was in

sented by Joseph r. Kingman and

and would do to conserve the interests
of the city.

We oh
the holding of races on Memorial day,
which has been and still is so Vigor,
ously opposed by the G. A r. men,
proves that Minneapolis is almost
alone in opposing the arrangement
President Bell says he has taken
pains to inform himself, and has failed
to find an instance where a law pro-
hibiting racing has been passed, and
In the few cases where it has been at

With one of the shortest sessions on
record to its credit, the grand jury
yesterday afternoon made it's report
on the Jail cases, and adjourned for
nearly month and half, until May
70. The number of indictments re.
turned is ten, and no releases were
filed, so that it is fair to presume all
of the prisoners in the county Jail, of
whom there are six, are included in
the indictments returned. This will
ming tiHIl w lulCES, the
alleged prisoners of August Hanson.
The well-known ex-A P. A. men,
Der and present anita. p. A. speaker,
Prof. Walter Sims, arrived in the city
yesterday morning. Prof. Sims, who
tonight will speak at the Metropol-
1tan opera house, converSed freely
with an interviewer yesterday fore,

version, and expressing his satisfacS
ton with the results of his present
work. In Michigan, Prof. Sims said
the organization had been to all prac.
teal purposes killed through his eff,
forts. And he expected the same to
be the result of his exposure here in
Minneapolis
Judges Belden and Pond decided an
unusual point yesterday at a Joint
sitting. In the settlement of the Pence
estate, Mr.. Smith, of Smith, Pulliam
& Smith, handed in a bill for legal
services, amounting to $780, 1t was
contested, and Judge Steele, of the
probate court, allowed $1,000. Mr..
smith appealed to the district court.
and yesterday morning a motion by
Shaw d Cray, for the estate, was ar,
gued, seeking to have the appeal dis
missed, on the grounds that it could
only nave been taken from a bin
against the estate, and that a bill for
attorneys fee did not come under that
head, according to the probate court
code of practice. The motion was
overruled, and the estate was given
ten days in which to join issues.
