SUMMIT AVENUE BRIDGE.
City VIII Proceed to Construct 1t at
Once.

Mayor sDoran yesterday signed the
resolution instructing the city en-
gineer to prepare plans and specif1ca-
lions for the construction Of a new
bridge over the Milwaukee railroad
tracks where they cross Summits ave-
nue.. The resolution further author
ICES the corporation to take the proper
steps to compel the Milwaukee railroad
company to bears the expense of con-
structing such new bridge. - ssssassi.4s
The resolution in question Is In con-
formity with the recommendation of
the old assembly committee on streets,
which granted a hearing on the matter
last spring. AT that hearing the rep
resentatives of the Milwaukee road In
sisted that the present wooden bridge
on Summit avenue was adequate to ac-
commodate the travel and in sufficient
ly good repair to serve for at least two
years longer. The committee did not
think SO after hearing the city en-
gineer and numerous Summit avenue
residents. sFhevi Milwaukee company
offered to construct new and wider
bridge In 1898, hut the offer was not
satisfactory and it was decided that
the only course for the city to pursue
was to, proceed at once ito build new
steel or iron bridge 80 feet wide and
to compel the Miiwaukee railroad to
bear the expense of building the
bridge.
The resolution was adopted by the
new assembly last month and con-
Cured jnP by the board of aldermen
Tuesday night. 1t may result in the
city's instituting legal proceedings
against the. Milwaukee railroad COM
pany.

ST. JosEPH's FAIR CLOSES.
Prize Winners, However, Are Not
Yet Announced.


The parish fair which has been held at
st. Joseph's church for the past three even
ings, under the auspices of the ladies OF
the parish, closed last night in most sue
cessful manner With the opening of the
fair a number of contests were begun for
various prizes and the rivalry for the final
possession of the beautiful and useful articles
which were being rallied has been spirited
and full of interest from the first evening.
The decorations of the hall in which the
fair was held was one of the most attractive
features Of the entertainment, and the pretty
booths presided over by the young women
Of the parish were important factors in add
ing to the finances Of the fair.
Among the most interesting Of the contests
was that started among Rev. Fathers Har-
rison, Heffron, O'Brien, Gleason and Nc
Nulty for the possession of a hand-painted
floral design contributed by the Sisters of
St. Joseph's academy. The race was very
close and as yet the winner is not known,
as the fair closed too late to permit Of a
complete count of the votes. During the
early part of the evening the vote stood:
Father Harrison SO; Father Hebron, 75i
Father McNulty, rs. Among the other ar
ticles raffied was silver set, gold watch,
silk lamp shade, several hand paintings and
a ton of coal, to be awarded the one guessing
nearest the number of pieces of the "black
diamond, in a bucket at one of the booths.
Owing to the, lateness of the hour none of
the priZe-winners were announced last even
ing.
The fair was held by the ladies of the par
ish for the purpose OF raising funds with
which to prepare the parish school, and a
sufficient sum was realized to completely
renovate the rooms and put in new furnish
inQs.

"BLIND PIG" CASES.
Five Are Arraigned in the Munich
pal Court.


The five men arrested for selling Ii
quor without a license during encamp-
ment week were arraigned in the police
court yesterday morning.
AS Special Detective Cook foreshad-
owed, there was quite lively time
when the arrests became known
through the 6 b yesterday morn
ing.
c. H. Kelly and John Kelly, proprie-
tors of cigar and billiard rooms on
University avenue, were represented in
court by Attorney Dobner. The men
are charged with selling beer and
whisky to Special Detectives Cook and
Silverstein John Kelly had his case
continued to Sept. Is and G. II. Kelly
to Sept. Il. Both were released on
bonds In the sum Of 500 each.
IS Dick Norton, steward of the Nushka
club, pleaded not guilty to the charge
of selling one glass Of alcohol and "a
bottle of beer to the detectives, and
will have a hearing on Sept. 16. Nor
ton did not care to talk for publication,
and what he did say about the detec-
tives would not look well in print. d.
Henry Ferrtn, who, at the time the
detectives made their rounds, was in
charge of the Chicago garden ON Mis-
sissippi street, had his case set for
trial on Monday next He was COM
mitted to the county Jail, but yesterday
aft ernoon William Hanm was around
making arrangements for his release.
John Jackson, who keeps a place at
Fifth and 5ReSabel streets, said he was
not guilty and claimed the six bottles
which the detectives bought at his
place were not beer. One of the half
dozen bottles had been retained by the
detectives, and after Johnson had made
his talk, the bottle and liquid was
turned over to DR.. Stone, Of the health
department., to have an analysis made
as to its contents. Johnson will have
a trial this morning and in the mean
time will remain in JAIL not being able
to furnish bonds.

st. Paul Representatives Leave for
Colorado Tomorrow.

P. NJ. Moroney, F. p Brown and F.
P. Hickey, of the st. Paul postoffice,
will leave this city tomorrow for Den

meeting of the National Association
OF Postoffice Clerks. Mr.. Moroney
gees in the capacity of first vice pres
ident of the national body; Mr.. Brown
as the delegate from the st. Paul office,
and Mr.. Hickey as alternate.
Last year the National Association
of Postoffice Clerks held it's convention
in this city and 100 delegates represent
ing nearly all of the large postoffices in
different portions of the country were
in attendance. Since the last conven-
ton many of the smaller offices have
joined the association and it is ex-
pected that nearly 200 delegates will
assemble in Denver next Monday. The
principal matter which will come be-
fore the convention will be the consid-
Grafton of ways and means for getting
a bill through congress classifying the
clerks in postoffices in the same man.
ner as the letter carriers. It is said
that the success of such a measure will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
service and will besides work more
equity in the matter Of salaries. AT
present It is said that a clerk may
enter the employ Of a postoftice at a
be giving his services for the same
amount at the end Of six or seven
years, while among the letter carriers
an employe, If he be retained, will be
sure Of 81 900 at the end Of three years.
The custom at present is for the post,
master to recommend an increase in
the salary Of clerk where he is Of the
opinion that it is deserved but it is
claimed that the appropriations of con-
gress for this purpose are insufficient
and that where large number Of
clerks are recommended oftentimes
those most deserving are neglected.
All of the st. Paul representatives are
In favor Of the contemplated bill and
will exert themselves to see that it is
presented when congress convenes.
Capt. Castle expected to attend the
convention, before which he had been
invited to make an address, but owing
to business reasons, will not be able
to go to Denver.
T. j. Doyle and H. M. Marrett Of the
st. Paul postoff1ce, are attending the
national convention of letter carriers,
now in session at Grand Rapids, Mich.

QUESTION OF AUTHORITY.
1t Is Raised sine the Fletcher Swind-
ling Case.

Charles e. Fletcher, arrested on the
charge of attempting to swindle c. w.
peterson on Wednesday, afternoon, had
a trial in the police court yesterday.
The evidence brought out the fact
that all the con men could have Sc
cured from Peterson was 81. 40 even had
not Patrolman Perro taken hand in
the game. As it was Peterson lost moth
ing, as he was Just going down into
his pocket for the silver when Fletcher
and he We're gathered in by the police
man. Peterson told his story to the
court, and one of the officials from the
Second National bank testified that
the check, which was drawn to the
order of j. w. Morgan and signed P ].
Davis, and called for $965.50 was per-
fectly worthless. Attorney Hearn
moved to dismiss the case on the
ground that under the statute under
which the complaint was drawn, the
court did not have Jurisdiction. The
point was that the statute fixed the
punishment of person convicted of
the offense of attempted larceny. at
both fine and Imprisonment, and under
q decision of the supreme court this
took the case out of the Jurisdiction
of the municipal court. City Prosecutor
Oppenheim commended that the punish
ment for an attempt at larceny could
not be any greater than if the larceny
had been committed The amount in
volved was only $3.50 and under the
circumstances would be petit larceny.
This would bring the matter under the
jurisdiction Of the court and allow
Fletcher to receive a workhouse SEN
tence. Judge Orr could mt see how he
could pass sentence under the COM
plant and continued the case until
Monday, in order to hear authorities
on the point. The case of Thomas
Koran, who is charged with being con-
cerned with Fletcher in the game, was
continued to Monday, and he was re-.
leased on $100 bonds Fletcher was
committed to jail.

HARD ON HENNEpIN
ITS Personal PROPERTY ASSESS
MENT IS RAISED $6S3,OOO
i IN ONE DAY.
TWO CLASSES WERE SMALL
AND THE BOARD PROCEEDED TO
ARRANGE THEM TO SUIT
THEMSELVES.
BANK VALUATIONS TUESDAY.
They VIII Undoubtedly BE Made "a
Special Order for That Day,
Next Week.

The state board Of equalization has
now concluded its labors with the first
eighteen classes of personal property.
The nineteenth and five classes follow
ing are the money, stocks, and other
holdings of banks, and must be taken
up together and Mr. Lawrence. who
has usually been depended on largely
In connection with this work, has asked
that the bank assessments be made a
special order of business for Tuesday
next.
In the meantime the board will. no
doubt. continue it's consideration of
personal property, there being still a
number Of classes of property as yet
not taken up.
The fixing of the date for banks for
Tuesday, however, would Indicate that
there is little likelihood of the board
getting at the realty valuations before
Thursday at the earliest, as it is not
likely that they will interrupt the con-
sideration of personal property assess
ments for partial consideration of
realty, such as might be had in one
day, or even two.
The most important action taken by
the board yesterday was in relation to
Hennepin county, the valuation being
raised $683,264 on two classes of per-
sonal property. The valuation on
household and office furniture, $685.
IA, was increased per cent, or
$l04, 407, and the valuation of goods and
merchandise, 1892, 1897, was raised Is
per cent, or $47S,S57.
Some interesting comparisons were
made by the board in arriving at these
decisions. 1t was shown that in 1889
neither Ramsey nor Hennepin coun-
ty assessed the valuation Of goods and
merchandise at less than $4,000, 000
while In 1895 the valuation in Ramsey
was 1884, 900 less than in 1889, and in
Hennepin, $680,000 less than in 1889 In
the same years the valuation on the
same class for the entire state had
been raised from SIS, 1877 600 to SIG, ASS, 900,
an increase of $3.50, 900, showing that the
valuation of the state, outside Of the
counties of Hennepin and Ramsey, had
experienced an aggregate increase in
valuation Of $1,360,000 on this class
alone.
The board also made a calculation
of the valuations for the three classifi-
cations Of goods and merchandise, ma
terial and manufactured articles, and
manufacturers tools, implements and
machinery. 1t is found that the ag-
gregate valuation in these two classes
In Hennepin county has been $878 604
more than which amount is cut off the
Item Of goods and merchandise, the
other being slightly increased. In Ram
sey the aggregate has also been slight
~ increased. $2J, 29S, while in ST. Louis
county the sum of the three classes
mentioned has increased $49S224.

president of the assembly considered
yesterday the bids on soft coal to be
furnished the schools during the COM
ing season. There were several bids
submitted on various qualities of btu

after due investigation made prior to
the meeting, to award the contract
to the Philadelphia & Reading coal
company for 1000 tons, more or less, OF
Youghiogheny coal at 1892 per ton.
Some of the other bids were lower, but
it was the opinion of the committee
that the bid Of the firm to which the
contract was awarded, was the lowest
considering the quality of the coal.

SOFT COAL AWARDS
Hard Coal Is to BE Bought I'm Open
Market.

No cotract for hard coal for state
institutions will be awarded by the
state fuel commission this year. The
commission Is too suspicious of a conf
bine, and the heads Of the various in
stitutions will be permitted to buy
what little coal of that variety they
need in the open market, the suppo-
sition being that better results Will be
obtained In this way.
The bids on soft coal on which con-
tracts were awarded are much lower
than the first batch of bids received

than the prices which the state had
to pay for coal at the same places g.

THIS ONE FAvoRs 1T.
Interior Department Gives the State
One Point

While the decision of Secretary Hoke
Smith, In the Section 80" case, was
adverse to the state, there is still some
hope in the breasts Of state land Of
f1cials, State Auditor Dunn having re-
ceived yesterday the decision Of the
same department in the case Of Lorenz
Drewicke, whose claim to the home
stead near Appleton, Swift county, was
contested by the state. In this decision
the interior department sustains the
contention which has been made by
the state that in swamp land cases,
testimony as to the swampy nature of
the land, or the opposite, must be as to
the time Of the grant of 1880, or of
the survey, and not as to the date Of
the entry or the time of the trial of
the suit This decision is expected to
diminish considerably the number of
land claims made which the state will
have to contest.
