SLASHED HIS WIFE.
Robert Tate Had a Murderous Fit of
Jealousy.

Robert Tate, young colored man.
residing at SIS Marion street, assault
ed his wife, who is a white woman.
with a pocket knife, shortly after u
o'clock yesterday in1icting long
cash on the left side of her neck. The
woman bled profusely at the time, but
subsequent investigation showed the
cut to be but flesh wound, and, after
having it bandaged up, Mrs. Tate went
about her work as usual. Tate. who
is nineteen years of age, is a stepson
Of Louis Liverpool, the colored hack
man, and it was at his home that the
affray took place. Tate left immedi-
ately and secreted himself at the home
Of a friend near Park avenue and Win
ter street. Later, upon learning that
Detectives Enright and Sweeney were
watching the house, he gave himself
UP. He was taken to the Rondo street
police station and charged with as
sault with dangerous weapon. To
a G b e reporter Tate said: II don't
care to go into all the details of my
trouble, but this affair today grew out
of statements 1 have heard about my
wffe's conduct during the past three
weeks. I called her out into a carriage
shed, and, though she denied the
charges, I felt she was not telling the
truth, and, acting upon the impulse of
of my pocket and cut her 1 struck
the blow in anger. My mother heard
her scream, and, rushing in, pushed
me aside, and I left the place" Young
Tate spent number of his early years
in the state reform school, from which
institution he was released several
years ago.

X. OF p. ANNIVERSARY.
Champion and Lincoln Lodges Join
in Celebration.

Champion No. 10, and Lincoln No. SO
lodges, knights of Pythias, celebrated
the thirty-second anniversary Of the
founding Of the order in thoroughly
enjoyable manner last evening at
Bowlby hall.
The lodge benches placed across the
spacious hall were filled with the mem
bers and their ladies, who were thor
oughly entertained.
Chancellor Commanders MURRAY. of
Champion, and Kelsch, of Lincoln, pre-
sided over the affair, which was a joint
one, and the Twin City Mandolin club
furnished music through the evening.
Miss Eloise Sterile played Chopin's
Etude No. 5 on the piano, Miss Annie
Campbell sang, and there were a num-
Der of appropriate speeches. F. 9.
Stevens, of Champion lodge, delivered
the opening address, one of welcome in
which he said the members took I'M
usual pleasure in having for their
guests the members of the fair sex.
He was followed by w, A. Greer. of
Lincoln lodge, who touched on the
origin, growth, benefits and principles
of the order.
The evening closed with q most en-
retaining streopticon exhibition han
died by F. H. Wheelock, during the
progress Of which he took those pres
ent on an imaginary trip from the
union depot to the Pacific coast, and
thence to the White mountains In New

FIREMEN. LIKE THE POLICEMEN,
MUST WAIT FOR WHAT THEY
EARN.
CITY CLERK JENsEN'S MOVE
RETURNS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
PAY ROLL TO THE BOARD OF
g. COMMISSIONERS.
THIS IS SAID TO BE IRREGULAR.
Aid. Hare Says Several Officers Have
He Takes.

The members of the board of alder
men are criticising City Clerk Jensen
for returning the fire department pay
roll to the board of fire commissioners
simply on the strength of the alder
manic resolution so referring it, instead
of first submitting the resolution to the
assembly for its action. Mr.. Jensen
is not accused of any Intentional irreg-
ularity in this matter for the alder
men believe that he has merely mis-
understood the situation. The facts
are these:
The fire board sent to the common
council-which means both bodies act
ing separately-the7 fire department
pay roll for the month of January.
The pay rolls came before the board
of aldermen first The reductions IN
salaries did not meet with the APPROX
al of the aldermen, and that body
adopted a resolution referring the pay
roll back to the fire board, with GER
tain recommendations. This resolu-
ton should have gone to- the assem-
bly, for concurrence or non-concur-
renee, as the fire department pay roll
was sent to the common council, not to
the board of aldermen or the assem-
bly,, and could not be referred back to
the fire board, which is a totally indie
pendent body entirely distinct from
the common council, without both
bodies of the council concurring in
such resolution. The rule as to the
powers of reference has been con-
strued SO strictly that a joint commit
tee of the common council has refused
to recognize a reference to it of any
matter unless both bodies have voted
to refer it. The aldermen want the
assemblymen to go on record in the
matter of the fire department pay roll.
Until the pay roll is submitted to the
assembly for its action, it can make
no progress whatever. AS a matter
of fact, it can safely be predicted
that the assembly will not concur in
the resolution to refer the pay roll to
the fire board, and the result will be
another deadlock, which will post
pone the firemen's pay day to date
as far in the future as the policemen's.

CITY WINS THE SUIT.
Action brought on Condemnation
Proceedings Fails.

Judge Kelly yesterday filed a decis-
ion giving judgment In favor of the
city in the suit of the St Paul Title
insurance & Trust company, as adj
minlstrator of the estate of William L.
Mlntzer to recover from the city
$4,000, with interest for five years. on
account of property condemned for the
West Side levee. The decision is based
on the fact that at no time since the
property was condemned has there
been any money in the city treasury
applicable for that purpose.
In his memorandum Judge Kelly dis
cusses the various acts of the legisIa-
ture relative to this matter, but holds
mat all these acts were superseded by
chapter T. of the special law of 1887
This law required that when property
was to be condemned, an estimate
must first be made, and the value of
the property assessed against the adj
Joining property that was benefited
But the property could not be taken
until all the money was paid into the
city treasury In this case the city
council and board of public works con-
demned the property without making
any provision for assessing the cost
against the property benefited, and
the court holds that for this reason the
city acquired no real interest whatever
In the land, and is not under obliga-
ton to pay for it, though a deed Of
transfer mad been given by the owner

His Friends Furnish Him With a
Surprise.

Surprise.
A dozen of his friends gathered to-
gether last evening, and sent for D. t.
cific Express company, for the purpose
which it is likely he will prize highly
as long as it remains in his possession,
probably long time. NJ J. Flars-
helm was spokesman, and in a neatly
turned speech presented the genial
agent with magnificent electric seal
trimmed, linen buster, on behalf of his
many friends. Mr.. Flarsheim spoke
of Newcomb's having for so many years
busted through the depot clad only
In the beribboned ramnant of a linen
benny" which might once have been
new. Naturally the recipient was TAX
en- with an attack of speechlessness,
but he lost no time in getting into his
new gift, and evidenced his apprecia-
ton in few significant words-four
words in fact.
Accompanying the gift was the ap-
pended document to which was pinned
the receipts for the buster in amount.

trimming.

SALARIES POLICE.
Aid. Hare Tells why He Voted
Against Reduction.

Alo. Hare resents the charge pub
lished in an evening paper, to the effect
that he, as we'll as the other aldermen
who voted against reducing the sal
aries of patrolmen from s75 to $40, were
actuated by a desire to make political
capital.
Such an assertion is false and un-
founded" said Aid. Hare yesterday.
Il stated my reasons on the floor of
the council chamber for voting against
reducing the salaries of the patrolmen.
In my opinion 5000 a year is little
enough compensation for the ardusus
work they are obliged to perform and
the bodily risks they run.
Moreover, there is no truth, as far
as [ can learn, in the statement that
the patrolmen are willing to accept
$40 month instead of SIS, in order to
unite the pay rolls and get their jan
uary salaries. l have personally in
terv1eWed at least twenty-five patrol
men. If not more, and every single one
of them has said to me, You are do
ing just what we want. Go ahead and
tie the pay roll up. We want our 5000
year..

WEBER DIVORCE CASE.
The First Application for AIimony
Is Denied.

Judge Kelly yesterday filed an order
denying the motion of Mrs. Sophia Web
er to compel her husband, Henry Web
er, register of deeds, to pay her $24O and
soo week thereafter as alimony, pend
ing the trial of her suit for divorce
Mrs. Weber claims her husband entered
INTO an agreement with her some
months ago to pay her an allowance of
$9o week, burt he paid her only $40 I'M
der this agreement ,eandsshe wanted an
order of the court to enforce payment
OF the balance now due, $240, and the
continuance of the payment Iudee
Kelly holds that this is no more bind
ing than any other contract, and he
could not think Of committing the de-
fendant to jail for not complying with
IT: though he intimates that the plant
III may be entitled to proper amount
