Court stands adjourned" declared
Judge Elliott yesterday afternoon.
Jury will report next Tuesday
morning in Court Room No. in the
new court house." after moments
hesitation. This was the proSaic
manner in which the court adjourned
yesterday afternoon to take up new
and more comodious quarters in the
new court house. Judge Elliotts
words were followed by an outburst
of applause from jury and counsel,
but there was no other evidence of
the important change, and in Judge
Jamisons room this was not in evil
dence.
Judges Pond, Jamison and Elliott
all adjourned court until Tuesday
last night. Judge Seagrave Smith,
the presiding judge of the district,
wanted the court to continue in ses-
sion today and clean up some of the
back cases on the calendar, and he
called upon each one of the judges
in turn and requested them to re-
main. 1t was decided that some
time would be necessary, however, in
which to remove to the new build
ing and get in shape for the work
up there. Accordingly they ad-
! journed court.
Judge Smith, however, told his
jurymen to report again this morn
ing, and the case which he has under
consideration, that Of the trustees
of Ripon college against Charles
Brown, bids fair to become famous
| as the last one tried in the old court
room. The case will in all prob
ability be finished before noon today,
and court will then be adjourned in
every room. There will be no special
term-day tomorrow, and no cases
will be heard unless it is absolutely
necessary, the whole day being de-
voted to removing to the new court
| house.
The county commissioners held an
| informal session yesterday afternoon
| in connection with the removal of
the judges, and decided that two
court reporters would have to occupy
a room. Each one Of the six court
stenographers had picked out large
room, and they proposed to occupy
them, excluding the newspaper re-
porters from the one room which it
was decided that they could have.
County Commissioner Nash took the
initiative in the matter, and the
newspaper reporters will have a
place in which they can get up their
| copy without fear of outside in
trusion. They expressed their graf
itude to the county commissioners
/ after the matter was decided.
HOUSE WARNING PROGRAMME.
At the session of the Hennepin
County Bar association held yester-
day morning in the old court house
a committee, consisting of S. R. Kit
chell, A. B. Choate, Judge Seagrave
| Smith, w. E. Hale, Judge r. D. Rus
sell, A. B. Jackson, Judge Robert
| Jamison, Albert H. Hall, J. w. Arc
| tander and Robert S. Kelliner, was
| appointed to prepare a programme
upon abandoning the old court house
| Monday afternoon and to dedicate
| the new temple of the courts to the
cause of justice.
The meeting was an interesting
one, and many Of the attorneys dur
| ing their addresses took occasion to
mention the associa tions that clus-
tered about the old structure. A. B.
Choate, in the course of his remarks,
believed that the new court house
should be dedicated with a purely
social function, to which the men,
bers of the bar and their wives and
daughters should be invited.
A H. Hall wanted the members of
the bar to meet at the old court house
and march in body to the new
structure where there would be ap-
| propriate speeches. John P. Rea
saw no appropriateness in having
hop in the new court house. He be-
lieved that Judge Flandrau and
Judge Vanderburgh, both of whom
are still living, ought to be called
upon to address the members Of the
bar and read papers upon the early
history of the court house.
The committee appointed at the
morning session of the bar associa-
tion held a meeting yesterday after
noon and decided upon the pro-
gramme. 1t follows:
All attorneys are requested to meet
at the old court house at 145 P. m.
"Reminiscences of the Building of
the Old Court House in 1857" Hon

of Minnesota.

Minnesota, and first judge who pre-
sided in the old court house.

judge of the Fourth judicial district
1860 to 1852.

county will then form in a body, accom-
panied by their guests, the honorable

nesota, the honorable judges of the dis
trict courts of Ramsey and Hennepin

tering at Fourth avenue entrance.
