DEMOCRATS MAY COME.
Chairman HdrritU Getting Ready to
CdH IL MeefiuU,


CaU Meeting.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S.-THE
CALL correspondent met Chairman Harrity
of the National Democratic Committee to-
night. Mr.. .Aarrity arrived in Washing
ton this evening and visited the White
House, where he talked with President
Cleveland for some time. He also saw
Secretary Lamont at the War Department.
Although Mr.. Harrity did not say so it is
inferred that he talked with them about
the coming Democratic Convention, for
soon afterward he announced to THE CALL
correspondent that early in Decem Der he
would issue a call for the National Com
mittee to meet in Washington on Janu-
airy to decide on place for holding the
convention. He is of the opinion that the
convention will be held late in June or
during the first few days in July. The
convention will be held, he says, to suit
the convenience and comfort Of the dele
gates, and hot weather days will be
avoided if possible. 1t was suggested that
there were no hot-weather days in San
Francisco, such as Mr.. Harrity expert
ences in his Pennsylvania home, or in
Pittsburg or Chicago. Mr.. Harrity smiled
at this and complimented CALIFORNIA;
glorious climate. He said that thus far
five cities had written him bidding for the
convention, viz: San Francisco, Chicago,
st. Louis, Milwaukee and Denver.

VISITING RESTAURANTS,
Inspector Dockery Secures Score or
More SampIes-What the Miikmens'
Association Intends Doing.

Association Intends Doing.
Milk Inspector Dockery visited score
or mere of down town restaurants yester-
day, taking samples of milk from all the
places visited. AS usual great crowds
gathered wherever the inspector APP
peared, presumably hoping that he would
dump few gallons of milk. In this they
were mistaken, for Dockery was simply
gathering evidence to be submitted to the
bacteriologist. It is not improbable that
warrants will be sworn out to-day for the
arrest of the attorney and the officer of
the Milkmens' Association, whose names
have been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the alleged Sanders bribery
case.
The papers in the case were submit to
Prosecuting Attorney John L. Dare, who
said that he would take the matter under
advisement and give a definite opinion this
morning. From casual review of the
case. however, he thought there would be
no difficulty about the warrant.
The Can and Bottle Association appears
to be much distressed over the fact that
two of its officers are directly concerned.
They held meeting at the Jersey Farm
Dairy, on Howard street, yesterday and
discussed the matter fully. They are
unanimous in the opinion that If there is
any foundation whatever for the story the
association cannot in justice to itself longer
retain them in its employ. A special COM
mittee was appointed to go over the facts
as far as obtainable and report as speedily
as possible.

The Probate Court saw several new
papers in the Lux estate yesterday. There

THAT GARBAGE CREMATORY
One Expert Scavenger Offers to
Remove Refuse Without
Charge.
A. E. Williams Threatens to Sue the
City for Rejecting His
Bid.

A. NJ. Sicily submitted proposition to
the Board of Supervisors yesterday to
build crematory for the disposal of
garbage, house and other refuse matter of
the City without any cost to the City in
consideration of an exclusive franchise for
doing the work for fifty years.
1t will be remem bered that this matter
of scavenger franchise has been under
discussion before the board for some
months several times.
The bids received were not of the same
character and the board found it impos-
sible to determine which was the highest.
One of the bids offered a certain sum of
money and offered to remove garbage at so
muc per cubic yard. Another bid, while
offering larger sum of money. named a
higher sum for the removal of the gar
bage. and in the discussion it appeared
that the fraction of difference in this latter
regard would have been q greater tax on
the people and much greater revenue
to the bidder. So all the bids were re-
jected and the clerk was ordered to pre-
pare another bid in which the tax for re-
called for, or the cash sum is fixed and the
other bid called for. 1t was in view of
this that Sicily makes his proposition to
charge nothing for the removal of garbage
and to build a proper crematory.
Then came also one of the other bidders
and gave notice that he will contest the
right of the board to reject his bid, which
he claims is the highest He says:
Noting the fact that on September 80 the
Board of Supervisors considers that it has
the right to reject all bids which they received
under their advertisement for bids for gar
bage franchise for disposing of, by cremation
or otherwise, the entire garbage of our City
and County. now it appears to my mind that
the board has no right to reject the bids, but
must, in accordance with the law, as shown in
the statute OF 1893, grant the franchise TO the
highest bidder, and that they have no discre-
ton whatever in this matter Therefore /
shall enter suit to compel the board TO deliver
the franchise to myself, being the highest
bidder. and desire TO state to you that shall
not withdraw my bid under any circum-
stances, and hereby give you notice that no
one is now or shall be hereafter authorized by
me to request of you withdrawal of my bid,
but that ii it ever is withdrawn it shall be done
only through me personally, and TO ignore any
and all requests for the withdrawal of my bid
which may come to you through other parties
Yours very truly, A. E. WILLIAMS.

decision was filed here today. This

attorneys were engaged on both
sides. The cases had been pending
several years and were based on the
claim that the great food Of 1884 on

negligence OF Weyerhaeuser and the

QUEER RUNAWAY.

-. Run and Perforno Some
49,. Strange Hntice.

49, A steam threshlng engine passed
salong Broadway about 8 O'Clock
sMonday evening, and created con-
siderable trouble. Merrill Tuttle's
horse was tied to the pole in front OF
futile & Sons store. The horse be-
came frightened and Merrill went
out to hold him. Down the street,
at NJ, J. Brackets, H. LarsOn's horse
was tied. Officer Roy held him, but
the horse couldn't stand the engine
and broke away. He started east
ward, pulling the buggy latter him.
and lodged from side to side in a
manner unpleasant to those on the
street. Finally making up his mind'
he shot forward to where Merrill
Tuttle was standing. Tuttle lodged
to the street side of the post, and the
horse struck it so hard as to loosen
the pole and the sign fastened at the
ton, At this time, a man was
standing near the German American
bank looking at the performance.
The horse imm ediatelv charged down
the sidewalk upon the spectator, the
latter taking to his heels with great
expedition. The sight. would have
been very funny if it were not
DANGEROUS. The horse left the buggy
at the pole, badly damaged. The
man who ran got away, and the
horse pursued his course until he
reached the Bracke residence, in
which neighborheod he was caught.
B The damage will not amount to
much, except to the buggy and the
nerves of the spectators. 1t was
probably one Of the most exciting
runaways ever seen in the city. The
horse formerly belonged to M. j.
Bracke and has before distinguished
himself in the came manner.

an extensive trip. through the spring
wheat section-visiting weetern
Minnesota and parts Of North and
South Dakota. He says he saw q
great deal OF good grain. but no.
where did the wheat look better
than in Morrison county. In many
parts Ut this state and Oar western
neighbours the crop is not good,
,drouth All other causes having re-
duced the condition greatly since
June /. At one time early in the
season itlooked as though the wheat
yield in these three states would
exceed l75, 900, 900. but Mr.. Cawley is
now firmly convinced that 1875. 900, 600
bushels ia a large estimate. He has
visited different sections OF Morrison
county,, and found every where as
nice grain as he ever saw, and esti
mates that Little Falls, RoyaltOn
and Rices will receive half a million
bushels on this crop.

The general passenger agent OF
the N. 2. r. r. has issued the follow
ing circular: "a considerable num-
Der of inquiries have been received
in regard to the new game law In
North Dakota which provides for a
license fee of $25 for nonresident
hunters. 1t gives me pleasure to
advise that the supreme court OF
that state has just handed down an
opinion in which it is held that the
ne codes, which embrace the new
game law, do not:go into effect until
after the proclamation by the
governor. This proclamation cam
not be made until after the codes
are printed. and the earliest possible
date the law can go into !effect will
be Oct. Is. There is no probability,
however, of the law being In effect
prior to Dec. /, so that consider 1t
safe for anyone to plan a hunt In
North Dakota this fall, with the ex-
notation that the law will not be
differentin any way from previous
years."
