THE LEGISLATURE
Two Bills of a Somewhat Re-
ligiouS Nature Appear
i'm the House.
ONE RECOMMENDED TO PASS.
Saturday of This Week the
Last Day for Introduce
ton of Bills.

ST. PAUL, March 27.-Although a
number of the members of the house
were absent on the st. Croix park jun
ket Tuesday, those who had remained
at home did good work, especially dur
ing the afternoon in committee of the
whole.
The feature of the days proceedings
was the fight over Mr.. Sanders bill to
prevent the commitment or detention of
persons charged with any crime in any
institution not directly under the con-
troll and management of public officials.
This was the last bill considered, and
when it was reached on general orders
Ramsey county members opposed
it on the ground that it
was an attack upon the House
of the Good Shepherd in Ramsey
county. Mr.. Johns claimed that ST.
Paul has no other place to care for the
unfortunate women who are now sent
to this institution, neither has the city
the authority to provide place of con-
finement for those who are now incar-
cerated there. Most of the Minneapo-
lis members also opposed the measure,
but when a vote was reached it was
recommended to pass. Another meas
are of like religious nature was intro
duced by Mr.. Soule and is intended to
prevent repetition of the "Faribault
plan"
No More Bills After Saturday.
In answer to an inquiry the house
was informed that no bills could be in
troduced after next Saturday, the 20
days limit being reached at that time.
This will bring the final adjournment

ported during the morning, and for an

MORE BUILDING.
A. G.. Meyer to Erect Two Store
Buildings This Year.

Buildings This Year.
In about a month Mr.. A G.. Meyer
will begin work on brick building on
Second street, on lot which he last
fall purchased of A. M. Smith. This
building will be so feet deep, but
whether it will occupy the full width
of the lot, 80 feet, has not yet been
decided. This building has already
been rented to Tom Foley, for the lat
ter's blacksmith shop. This will be a
splendid location for such shop, as
it will be between two livery barns
and close to the Clifton house barn.
When this building is completed
and Mr.. Foley has moved, in July or
August, Mr. Meyer will tear down the
building which Mr.. Foley is now occu-
plying and will put up handsome
two-story brick store, rs feet wide and
IS feet deep, in it's place. This will
be occupied by Mr.. Meyers marble
works, which is rapidly growing
business. These two buildings will be
noted improvement to the corner of
Second and Hickory streets.
Mr.. Meyers building operations do
not stop here, however. He is making
some noteworthy Improvements upon
the house which he purchased of I'll. L.
McCollom last fall, at the corner of
Byron and Fulton streets. A fine
piazza has been placed on two sides OF
the house, and the workmen are now
remodeling the building, painting and
papering. The building will be won
derfully improved in appearance when
the wOrkmen turn it over to Mr..
Meyer again. This house will be
rented, and Mr.. Meyer will continue

Saturdaywas the last day new bust
ness can be introduced into the legis-
lature. Friday the number of
bills which had been introduced in
the senate reached $50, and in the
house SO2, or 1882 in all. These would
seem to cover all the needed require
ments of the state in legislative lines,
but it is probable the number will be
considerably increased today.

TWO VERDICTS.
TWO JURlES RETURN VERDlCTS
FOR THE DEFENDANTS.
Hiss Heath Loses Her Damage Suit
Against the City-TimOthy Muir
laugh Fails to Get Anything From
Constable Cole Probate Court
Notes.

Saturday was a good day for de-
PENDANTS in the District court,
two of them getting verdicts
in their favor from two different
juries.
In the case of Jennette Heath
against the City of Mankato it took
the jury about two hours to agree up
on a verdict in favor of the city. On
the first ballot the jury stood eight
for the city and four for Miss
Heath. A stay of thirty days was
granted on the application of the
plaintiff.
The verdict gives general satisfac-
tion about the city, for it was feared
that if the plaintiff won the suit,
such cases would become innumerable
in the future. Yesterday Miss Heath
exhibited her two ankles to the jury,
showing one to be considerably
swollen.
The $4,000 damage suit of Timothy
Murtaugh against Constable "A. B.
Cole, of Madison Lake, and his sure
ties, Frank Haskell and Geo. w. AL
Ign, for alleged false imprisonment,
was called yesterday afternoon, and
completed this afternoon and given
to the jury. The jury was out but a
short time, and returned with YER
dict for the defendant. This jury was
composed of Thos. Howieson, Mic
Weis, Henry APPEL, 1. N. Griffith,
David Thomas, John AlmquiSt, Geo.
Maxfield, Richard Hughes, Chas. San
born, A. T. Wallace, M. T. Comstock,
and Geo. Pond.
The witnesses for the plaintiff were
Timothy Murtaugh and James X.
Knapp. For the defendant, Lena
Hinckson, Frank Haskill, Elmer
Tappy, e. A. Stuck, John Thompson,
Aggie Durrin, Mrs. Campton and A.
B. Cole were sworn. The plaintiff
put on the stand in rebuttal, Joseph
Hitland. John Kramer, Michael Muir
laugh junior and senior, and John
Barrett.
In the afternoon the civil suit OF
the Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Co.
VS.. Geo. Cavanaugh was called, and a
Jury was secured. This is suit on a
promissory note, and the defendant
alleges breach of warranty. A. M.
Rutan is attorney for the plaintiff,
and A. J. O'Grady and w. n. Plymat
are attorneys for the defendant.
The jury was excused until ten
o'clock tomorrow morning, when the
evidence will be introduced.
The next case for trial
will be that of Geo. Cavanaugh VS.. S.
Fellows. A. j. O'Grady and w. N.
Plymat are attorneys for the plaintiff,
and Pfau & Young and B. d. Smith
for the defendant.
In the Murtaugh-Cole suit, III. L.
Schmitt withdrew as one Of the at
torneys for the plaintiff just before
the case went to trial. Hughes, Rice
& Hughes took his place.

In Committee of the Whole.

Senator A G. Johnson presided over
the committee Of the whole. The first
bill taken up was S. T. so, Senator Lar
sons bill amending the law relating to
the public examiner, so that private
banks shall be under his control. An
amendment making the date of exam
ination indefinite was adopted and the
bill was recommended for passage.
S. f. 594 was strongly opposed. It
authorized the penitentiary board to let
convicts to contract on piece work for
eight hours at not less than 10 cents per
day. The bill was amended so as to &C
into effect Jan. l, 1896, and was recon-
mended to pass.
A number of other unimportant
measures, including several small ap-
preparations for relief of private par.
ties, were also acted on favorably.

REFUSED TO SHUT THEM OU-

The Senate Considers the Roverud Resolu-
ton Against Lobby. sts.
The senate had fun with lobbyists
Tuesday morning, the Roverud resolu-
ton excluding them from the senate
floor being under consideration. Some
senator wanted to know who was to de.
eide who were lobbyists, and Senator
Roverud said it was easy to tell who
was who. The session was drawing to
an end and the lobbyists were around
thicker than flies.
Senator Stevens suggested that lobby
lists were something like bedbugs. They
were not so bad when you got used to
them.
Nearly every senator wanted to ex-
plain his vote. Most of them who
voted against the resolution did so be-
cause there was no distinction made be-
tween lobbyists and constituents. The
resolution was lost, 16 to II.
