peller broke adrift tore up the deck and
crushed through the starhoard siCe.
Then, when she rolled into port, the pro-
peller careeued acruss the deck and
drove through the pert side. The seas
rushed in through these two holes at a
frightfu! rate and it was feared that the
steamship would silk, but thanks tot tho
pumps, tho Boston City managed 10

The British steamship, Lord ONelll,

to make this port last week, but con-
trary gales drove her 200 miles off the

To Carry on the Fight for Their
Share of the Insurance
Tax.

All that organization can effect will
be done by the police of Minnesota to-
wards securing their half Of the per
cent tax assessed upon fire insurance
policies. Nothing else is to be attempt
ed for the present in this direction.
Fifty members of the local force met
yesterday afternoon at Arion hall, II
West Third street, and decided to re-
vive the st. Paul Police Mutual Aid as

five years the old association enjoyed a
flourishing career. and at its dissolution,
in 1892 distributed S., 1885 SO amongst its
members, and $4,000 was paid out on
account of death losses during the year
1891.
The following officers were elected
for tbs new organization:
President. William Budy; vice presi-
dent. Thomas Walsh; treasurer, Michael
DAILY; secretary. Frank Horn.
Board of Trustees-C Schweitzer,

leau, Segeant Zirkelbach, Officer John
Gleason and Big Andy Call.

changes. AS now arranged. the pay
ment for death loss during the first six
months will be limited TO 500. this
amount to be increased by 500 each
month until maximum payment of
81 900 is attained. The current dues are
fixed at SO cents per month.
For the ensuing six months the inita.

HARD TIMES THE CAUSE
OF the Decrease in Municipal
Court Receipts.

OF the Decrease in Municipal
Court Receipts.
The municipal court earned $4,000
for the city during the past twelve
months. This is considerable decrease
in the annual receipts of this institu-'
ton, which haye been known to exceed
$4,000. The decrease is eXplainable,
however. 1t is due to hard times. That
police court should be financially af-
fected by hard times might seem queer
to people who have not given the sub
iect as much study as Clerk Ahern has.
but it is quite true. The income of this
judicial mill is chiefly real lied from the
griSt of the criminal grindStone.
Clerk Ahern admitted that the grind
had probably bee II quite as large as
that of previous years, but the grind
trs" mad gone to the werkhouse instead
of paying their fines, fer good and
Sufficient reasons. The first reason was.
thai they had no money. The others
are unimportant. Hence the decrease
in the gross receipts. They were the
largest last March and the smallest in
October.

GRAND JURY NEXT WEEK.
Ex-Cashier Hawks Will Be Called
for Trial Then IL

The grand jury for the January term
of court will be impaneled next Mon
day. There is but little business await
ing its attention of a fragrant nature.
The good order maintained in the city
will give the jury no particular ground
for a LeXow investigation, and their
work Will be, consequently, limited.
Assistant County Attorney Donnelly
will take charge OF matters before
them. and County Attorney Butler will
take up the trial of some important
criminal cases.
g. A. Hawks will be called upon to
stand trial on Tuesday upon one of sew
eral indictments growing out OF the
wrecking Of the Seven Corners bank.
The indictment charging him with di-
yerting from the proper channels of Sl0o
belonging to the Nickel Savings bank
will likely be first taken up.
Following the Hawks case will prob
ably be that of James H. Burns. 1t is
expected that the supreme court will
pass upon the demurrer to the indict-
ment against him in time for the consid-
Grafton of his eases during the January

Horses-Origin I'm

Fire in Fred Schroeder's livery barn
on Fourth street, between Wabasha
and st. Peter streets, caused a loss of
Sc, 0O0 and kept the fire department
pretty busy from until o'clock yes
tCrday morning. The origin of
the fire is unknown. The flames
were discovered at 4:3O a. m. by
a police officer, who aroused the EN-
ployes Of the barn. The latter were
asleep in a room adjoining the office,
and might have persisted In the flames
had they not been awakened at the time
they were. The fire started in the har-
ness room aud spread rapidly. In the
meantime the liverymen began the
work of rescuing the horses. They
saved all of them, thirty-seven in num-
Der, but were not 50 fortunate in reScu-
ing The carriages, COupeS and buggleS.
The fire department arrived in less than
five minutes after the alarm was sent in,
which was at 4:39. The flames had
gained considerable Roadway and the
firemen found a stubborn fight on their
hands. They saved the framework of

NEEDED LAWS.
The Subject Discussed by the
Chamber of Commerce.

The Subject Discussed by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Nothing of impor lance was done at
yesterdays session of the chamber of
commerce. The special order was the
resolution of E. V. Smalley. introduced
on Dec. 8, directing the committee on
legislation to report laws needed for the
welfare and progress of the city. The
consideration of the report was made
special order for the 18th, and again for
yesterday. The committee had. how
ever, been unable to secure SatStac.
tory meeting, and the matter was once
more postponed for another two weeks.
A few remarks were made by Gen.
Sanborn on the high rate of taxation
per capita in st. Paul. Something. he
said, should be done. He did not indi-
cate what it was. and no resolution was
presented to the chamber. f. Il. Doran
was of the opinion that, if certain farm
ers cared less for bullets and more for
dollars. they would come to st. Paul to
trade. in spite Of the rifle range at Fort
Smelling, across the country roads.
Bullets being more influential, he
thought the matter should be In vesti-
gated by the committee on roads. The
subject was accordingly referred.
The mercantile committe will consider
the invitation from the Minneapolis
board of trade for the chamber to send
one to three delegates to the Flour City
on Wednesday, Jan. l6. to participate
in the formation of Northwestern
board of trade. The latter, if formed,
will work for the interests of this entire
section.
The merits, for paving purposes. of
a vitrihed brick made from clay found
AT COON Creek, near Minneapolis, were
expatlated upon by Mr.. Humphreys, of
the sister city, and especial stress was
laid upon the proximity of the supply
and the bricks durability. impressed

At no time. however, was there any.

day. 2a

Thomas D. Wheel an and George W.
Wilson have been acquitted in the
United States circuit court on the
charge of burning the Northern Pacific
bridge at East Grand Forks. The men
were arrested on bench warrants, charg-
ing them with being in contempt OF all
order of court made at the instance of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
against the interference with railroad
property by strikers last summer, 1t
was charged that the two men were i'm
picated in burning the bridge last July
when the strike was at its height. The
receivers of the Northern Pacific COM
pany assisted the government attorneys
in the prosecution and were represented
by j. Ii. Mitchell, local counsel for the
company. Judge j. l.. Macdonald and
Henry Johns appeared for the men.
The bearing was had last week. Judge
Nelson reserved his decision until yes
terday and then ordered the men dis
charged.
In deciding the matter Judge Nelson
maintained that the court has iuriSdic-
ton in the premises. The ordinary rules
of criminal cases should be observed in
the investigation in his view, notWith-
standing the fact that no jury was i'm
paneled to try the case.
Judge Nelson stated that the evil
dence of Knox, an accompice. was not
corroborated. and it would not be safe
to rely upon his testimony when con-
tradlcted by both the other men. In such
case the court would instruct the jury
that the evidence of an accomplish un-
corroborated should not be taken as con-
elusive, and the court, in passing upon
the suficiency of the evidence. would
take the same view. 1t was held by
Judge Nelson that the rule laid down
by Judge Dillon should be applied in
this case, and that the evidence Of an
accomplish should be received with eX
treme caution and closely scrutiniZed.
1t is not sufficient In such case to pre-
sumo guilt from the circumstances of
the case, but the court must be salts
fed that the evidence is convincing and
conclusive as to guilt beyond reason
able doubt. Viewing all the circum-
stances and fact the court came to the
conclusion that the men should be dis
charged. ,
