A Dozen Ordinances.

Chairman Zimmerman, of the ordi-
nance committee, produced a big
packet of ordinances. City Attorney
Pau explained that he had been at
work for long time revising the old
ordinances, many which have become
invalid, owing to new decisions and
changes of local government. He and
Judge Porter had found that three
fourths or four-fifths of the ordinances
now on the books will have to be re-
passed or amended. Many of the old
ordinances are gone and their exist
ance could not be proved in court.
More than half of these ordinances
have been reproduced, and when the
work is done there will not be so many
ordinances, as some will be consolidate
ed. When we get done, we hope to
have set of ordinances that will be
good Some of the new ones may
have to be amended again. He de-
sired to have the ordinances compiled

done. 1t would be some expense to
do all this. AS an example, he had
found the ordinance prohibiting
houses of i'll fame in the city to be
invalid, owing to the improper word
ing of the penalty clause.
Aid. Zimmerman then offered
twelve ordinances, and on his motion
the rules were suspended. The COM
mittee reported favorably, and the
first readings were then taken up and
completed.
The regular order was then taken
up again, and the reports of officers
for February were received. Chief
Yates reported Is arrests and "a LODI
gers, and the clerk of court reported
1854 80 received.
City Engineer Haynes brought up
the good roads matter and asked the
council to appoint three delegates to
the convention to be held in this city
March 18th. On motion of Aid. Him.
melman, the invitation was accepted
and the mayor was authorized to
name the delegates.

Opposed to Bonuses.

Aid. Bradley called attention to the
vote of the people a year ago, when
the aldermen were elected on the
lighting plant issue. The council
wanted to get expressions from the
voters on the question now, which
was one reason for asking the COM
mittees to be present. The council
wanted to act fairly by the people.
The street railway is outside of the
question, as the city charter pro-
hibits the council voting bonuses for
this or any other purposes. If the
council does not intend to carry out
the wishes of the people expressed at
the last election, then it should pro-
coed to make new contract with
the local or some other company. He
would vote against giving anything
for street railway as long as he re-
manned in the council. The time is
too early for car line in Mankato,
anyway.
The lighting committee having
asked for more time to report, moth
ing more having been heard from
Watkins, Aid. Bradley moved that
the whole matter be put off until the
next regular meeting, when it shall
be special order again, the commit
tees to be invited to come again.
This was carried, Aids. Adams and
Zimmerman voting "no."

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
rlrs. Patrick Baylor Probably Fatally
Injured i'm a Runaway.

Injured in a Runaway.
A bad accident happened near St.
Clair Sunday forenoon. Mrs. Pat
rick Baylor and her son were driving
along at about ten o'clock, when the
team took fright and ran away, Both
were thrown out, but the boy escaped
with some scratches and bruises. Mrs.
Baylor was not so fortunate, however,
for she struck the frozen ground with
the side of her head, causing the rup-
ture of a blood vessel in the brain,
which soon formed clot. Mrs. Bay
lor was picked up in an unconscious
and comotose condition, and DR..
Smith, of ST. Clair, and DR.. Andrews,
of this city, were summoned. They
found that an operation to remove
the clot will be necessary, and proba-
bly, the only chance to save the lady's
life. The other bruises were of minor
importance. Mrs. Baylor is "a years
of age, and her many friends hope
that her life may be spared

A resolution was also adopted, des-
ignating the polling places at the u.s.

Aid. Adams said that the council
had ordered sidewalk from Vine
street to the hospital. The walk had
been commenced at the ST. Peter end,
and two blocks are still unfinished on
the city side If it had been order
ed anywhere else than in the First
ward it would have been completed
long ago. He wanted the walk COM

Plumbers Licenses.

Aid. Andrews offered a resolution
abolishing the plumbers perpetual
license of 800 and recommending a
small annual fee, the sums paid to be
refunded except such part as earned
by the city.
Engineer HAYNES said that the mat
ter was entirely in the hands of the
Board of Public Works. The object
of the high license is to keep out
cheap work, and plumbers from st.
Paul and elsewhere undertaking our
plumbers and getting away before
anything can be done if poor work is
done.
Aid. Andrews thought this could be
gotten around by inspecting the work
before it is covered. The high license
excludes a few good plumbers. He
had had experience with this in his
own building Improvements this
spring. The license keeps out outside
competition and the local plumbers
can add 800 to their prices.
City Attorney Pau advised delay
until he could look the charter pro-
visions up, as it looked as though
the matter was in the hands of the
board.
Engineer Haynes suggested that a
committee of the council look into
the matter, and if the council wants
change, he thought there would be
no difficulty about it.

HENDERSON, Mimi, Oct 18.--In
1894 Sibley county gave Nelson plu-
rality of 481 votes; for state senator it
gave the Republican candidate a p1u-
rality of 270, and for representative
the Republican plurality was 358. In
1892 Cleveland received a plurality of
255, and the vote for governor, con-
gresham and representative gave the
Democrats a plurality falling short of
or slightly exceeding that given for
president The determining factor in
the present campaign in this county is
the fusion of the Democrats and Popu-
lists on every office on every ticket and
the money issue. Estimating the re-
suit of fusion on the basis of the Re-
publican victory of 1894, the Democrats
would receive majorities for the offices
Of governor, state senator and repre-
estimate on the Democratic victories of
1892, the Democrats would have ma
jorities for the offices Of president, gov
ernor, congressman and representative
respectively Of 600, 1856, 564 and $50.
But the effect of the money issue on
these results is uncertain, and can only
be guessed at from the work that is
being done. Out of the five county
newspapers, the silverites have the
three most influential ones on their
side, but their opponents have had
more stump speakers in the field. Party
lines have been broken here as else
where, and the number of prominent
boilers on either side is nearly the
same.

HEAVILY REPUBLICAN.
Faribault County Preparing to Give
Usual Mejorities.

Special to the Globe.
BLUE EARTH CITY, Mimi, Oct 49,
-Faribault county is solid for honest
money and the straight Republican
ticket. In 1894 this county gave Nell
son a plurality of 1,543 and majority
over all of 1,012. In 1892 it gave Har-
rison majority over Cleveland of 900
even. The most conservative men
place McKinley's at the coming cleo
ton at fully as large a figure as that
say his vote will equal that of Knute
Nelson two years ago, which was 1863
more than Harrison received in 1892.
The former Democrats who will this
year vote for Mckinley will equal the
free silver Republicans who propose to
vote for Bryan. There is but very lit
tie Populism in this county, and two
years ago only 202 Prohibition votes
were cast for Hilleboe. That vote will
be lighter this year than ever. the
money question overshadowing the
liquor question. This vote will be d.
vided between the silver and sound
money parties. The Republicans
have an exceptionally strong local
ticket in the field, which will materi-
ally help the national, state and con-
gresional tickets. Four years ago Nc
Cleary received a plurality of 966 oyer
Baker. and two years later his piu-
rality over the same man was lab
and his majority over all was 1.101.
He is very popular in this county and
may possibly lead Mckinley Clough

SILVER CLOUD IN MARTIN.
Lind and Day Likely to Get a Ma
jOrity There.

Special to the Globe
FAIRMONT, Mimi, Oct. 1S.-Never
in Martin county has there been so
much interest taken in politics as In
this present campaign. The county has
always been Republican by a plurality
of from 400 to 800. In 1894 Gov. Nell
sons plurality was 500. In 1892 his plu-
rality was 4O5. This year the Demo-
Gratis and Populists have combined and
will give a majority for John Lind for
governor. I come to this conclusion
from the following facts: In 1892 Gov.
Nelson received 1,044, Lawler 500, DON
nelly 143, Dean lit. Adding the votes
of the last three candidates, we have
S99. Subtracting that from the Nelson
vote of 1,044 and 145 is left. We have
twenty townships in Martin county,
and it is safe to say that at least there
is an average Of ten Republican votes
to the township that will vote for John
Lind for governor. Quite a number Of
silver clubs have been formed in the
county and they are very active. Lind
and Day will receive about the same
vote in the county, while the presiden-
tial candidate will fall below them. In
county matters the vote will be mixed.
Some Republicans and some Demo-
Gratis will be elected.

been inaugurat~d and much enthusi-
asm prevails The vote of this county
for 1892 was as follows: Harrison,
S86; Cleveland, 663; Weaver, 305; Bid
well Prohibitionist, 1877; total. 1891.
Your correspondent believes that this
vote will be increased to 200 votes
this year. On account of fusion this
year there will be but two candidates
whose vote will be anything than scat
tering. 1t is understood that both par
ties have completed poll of the coun-
ty, and are both well satisfied with re-
suits. From the most reliable infOr-
nation obtainable it is claimed by each
party for the ticket they represent by
a small majority, which indicates that
it may be close. The goldites, how
ever, refuse to give any figures, while
the silverites claim the county for
Bryan by 200 majority, and that Lind
will have from so to 100 more than
Bryan. The number of Democrats who
will vote for Mckinley will be largely
overbalanced by Republicans who will
vote for Bryan, as a large number of
prominent ones are supporting and
working for him.
