The resolution directing the street car COM
pany to remove their tracks from Thompson
and Smith avenues is in the hands of the
committee on streets of the board. An at
tempt was made to have the resolution taied
up and amended so as to allow the company
to use the tracks to switch cars on and not for
storage. The motion to take the resolution
from the committee defeated by vote of
to A. Aid. Bell, Donahower, Stutzman and
Shepard being the only ones to favor such ac-
ton.
The rights granted to the st. Louis. st.
Paul and Minneapolis packet company, by an
ordinance giving them the use OF portion
of the levee at the foot of jackson street,
was repealed by an ordinance from the COM

passed by a unanimous vote and stated tnat
the packet company had used the levee for
purposes other than those specified In the
original ordinance. The Devereoux Commits

packet company.
An ordinance granting the Diamond 10
line steamship company the use OF certain
part of the levee for warehouse and otner
purposes at a rent of S. per year for period
of twenty years was under discussion last
night. The ordinance provides that the
warehouse shall be used only for freight

to keep the approaches to the warehouse open
for travel at all times. Other steamboat COM
panies are allowed to use the warehouse and
wharf providing they pay a pro rata share
of the building. The ordinance, by the amend
ment adopted last night, leaves the council
the right at any time to repeal the ordinance

the legislature at its coming session.
me new bill proposes that each com
pany snail have not less than 400 an
plcahIs, each Of whom has paid in at
least " for every $1,000 worth of in
Sufance he proposes to carry. The
company is to be required to paw the
lace OF the policy to the heirs of the
polcy holder within the time con-
tracted. 1t is required to keep on hand
reserve fund equal in amount to one
IulI assessment, and it is not allowed
TO issue a policy for more than the
amount that would be raised by one
full assessment. In this way the COM
pany will always have on hand the
amount of a loss. Under the old law
companies have been known to or
ganize with SO or 100 members. and
Immediately issue policies for as high
as Slo,0o0. The company is required to
make an assessment within sixty days
after a death loss becomes due. and If
this is not done, the officers become
liable to the extent of the claim. If
judgments against the company are
not satisfied, the commissioner is TO
revoke the license. Any transfer of the
members to another company must be
approved by two-thirds vote of the
insured. Another important provision
is that the assignment Of a policy is
void, if it is made to a person who has
no insurable interest in the life of the
assured. This will prevent fraud, such
as in the Cling murder case.
The fire insurance men will try to Sc
cure the repeal of the valued policy"
clause.
An effort will probably be made, too,
to pass an anti-compact law.

TO MOVE THE ARMORY.
Aid. KaIdunsI<i Would Use Market
Hall for Drills.

The Joint council committee on pub
lie buildings held a session yesterday
afternoon with MesSrS. Krahmer, Craig
and Thompson, of the assembly, and
Kaldunski, of the board, in attend
ance. Mr.. Krahmer had an amend
ment fixing the rate for the rent Of
Market hall at $25 per day and night,
instead of $40, as the ordinance now
provides. The matter was discussed
but no conclusion reached, although
Mr.. Krahner announced he would
bring the amendment up at the meet
ing Thursday night. Some fault was
found by Mr. Krahmer on account OF
the narket1naster renting the hall
for $40 per night when the ordinance
called for twice that sum. Marketmas-
ter Webster explained that the Anna
Eva Fay people did not occupy the
hall in the day time, and, as they had
intimated they might extend their stay
for three weeks, he had, after consult
ing Afessrs. Craig and Thompson, rent
ed the hall for $40 per night. The
market master said that, as it only
cost $6 per night to heat and light the
hall when it was rented for a number
of consecutive nights, he thought that
transaction was good one for the city.

use of the hall for a week
at SIS per night by the council, but
Mr.. Webster said he had been notified
that the institution would not occupy
the room.
A bill for so cents for plumbing done
In the market house in October was
sent back to the committee by the
comptroller who wanted to know by
whose authority the work was done.
Mark etmaster Webster explained that
one of the water pipes burst, and, as
1t was impossible to see any of the
committee or get an ordinance through
the council before the building was

flooded, he had secured plumber and
had the leak fixed. This was consi5-
cred satisfactory, at least to the com
mttee, and the bill was approved.
MI. Kaldunsk1 suggested that as s3Ol

armory' 1T would be cheaper for the CITY
70 give the militia the use Of the lower
moor or hall in the market house ana
save this sum. Mr. Larsen agreed
with his colleague from the Eighth
Ward, but the other members of the
committee decided that the proposition
was entirely out of the question. The
market building on the ground floor
could not be made available and the
hall was not constructed to stand the
strain of marching. On the advice Of
Mr. craig, the matter was dropped,
tnat gentleman realizing that the com
mlttee might stir up a strife with tbe
militia boys which would be brought
up against the individual members of

OVER A BAD CIGAR.
The Row That Brought Partridge
Into Court.

DO you know that you are imperii-
ing your soul and are sure to go to
hell if you do not stop smoking?
asked DR.. AlonZo P. Partridge of his
friend, j. Chancey yesterday as the
two met on a street corner. DR.. Part
ridge, who is president of the p. @.
Medicine company and resides at ST
Grove street, is a very religious man,
SO religious in fact that he believes
smoking detrimental to the moral side
of man and when he ran across his
friend Chancey yesterday smoking O
big, foul cigar, the doctor could noc
suppress his feeling and gave vent 10
the above interrogation.
Chancey had secured a special police
mans commission seven or eight years
ago, and, although the honor OF per-
forming the duties of an officer had
expired, he still wears the shining star
near one of his vest pockets. The ex-
special, although q firm believer in the
hereafter, had not reached that eccles-
iastical point of believe where alb
stinenee from smoking was essential,
and rather disliked the tone with
which DR.. Partridge addressed him.
The doctor continued arguing i'll
favor of the anti-tobacco crusade and
both men soon forgot their bonds of
friendship and each thought the other
was becoming too personal in his re-
marks. Finally DR.. Partridge felt the
heavy hand Of his former friend
Chancey on his shoulder, while the ex-
officer said
do you know / have great mind
to arrest YOU
The doctor responded nobly, saying:
you shall not, for L shall defend
myself
With that he gave Chancey's wrist
naughty slap, which compelled that
gentleman to release his hold. That

When the case was ventilated before
Judge Twohy yesterday afternoon it
created considerable amusement and at
some portions of the trial the specta-
tors were eonvulsed with merriment.
His honor listened to the case with
gravity and when both sides had
spoken, he turned to Chancey and SAID:
'.Well, what should / do; give the
doctor sixty or ninety days?'
Chancey's face turned red and he
pleaded with the court to be lenient
with his assailant saying it was all a
mistake and, although he made q
bloody and malicious assault on me, Z
forgive him freely" Chancey, however,
thought it would be wise to put the
doctor under bonds.
Judge Twohy laughingly dismissed
the case and the two men passed cut
of the court room, arm in arm.

MIR. GOoDHUE'S CONDITION.
Blow ON the Head Is Causing Him
Much Pain.

The condition of James Goodhue, of
322 South Exchange street, who was
assaulted Saturday night and robbed,
is far more serious than was at first
believed. Mr.. Goodhue is still unable
to be about and is under the treatment
of Dr. Stamm.
The blow that Mr. Goo6hue received
above his left eye is causing him much
pain, and produces continual neural
gic sensation which makes sleep well
nigh impossible.
The police are busy attempting to 10
cate hole in the city sidewalk in the
vicinity of Mr.. Goodhue's residence
where he might have struck his head,
instead Of making an energetic search
for the thug who so brutally assaulted
the real estate dealer. DR.. Stamm says
that it is folly to claim that the wound
could have ben inflicted by a fall, that
it was made by a blow.
