WITHOUT WATER.
City of Minneapolis Last Night Was
Like to a Barron Desert.

For five hours last night the citizens of
Minneapolis experienced a water famine For
that period of time, also, the city would
have been at the mercy of the fire king had
he seen fit to rear his head within her
domains. Housewives cooked the family din
ners as best they could without water, and
left their dishes go unwashed until the mid
night hour Those who indulge in the liquid
products of the barley and the corn used soft
stuffs and oysters for the attendant Chaser
The bar man left beer mugs go unwashed,
as the housewife did her dishes.
At noon Yesterday little stream of
water, resembling somewhat an artesan we'll
made its appearance through the pavement
On Second street near Seventh avenue north
AS the hours went by, the stream increased
in size, but to all appearances it was moth
ing more than a small insignificant leak in
the water MAN.. Shortly after o'clock how
ever, it suddenly increased in size and
strength and tore hole through the pave
ment the size Of a mans body In a moment
the street was flooded and in another mo-
ment the water was rushing in torrents down
the side streets in both directions. For three
blocks on each side of the break the streets
were completely flooded.

Street Car Men I'm Session at St.
Louis.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.-The Auditorium
in which have convened two national
political conventions. as well as many
other national assemblies held today
the largest street railway convention
that was ever called to order. 1t was
the nfteenth annual convention of the
American Street Railway association
Every bit Of available space in the
Immense building. outside of that oc-
cupied by the delegates and visitors,
was filled with display Of street car
appliance. Everything pertaining to
the business Is on exhibition Neces-
sarily the electrical appliances form
the greatest part Of the exhibition, the
latest and most. novel developments in
that line being shown While cleo
tricity dominates everything within
the building, theecable men have an ex-
hibit without which attracts much at
tention. mammoth cable is the chief
attraction. At meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee previous to the
convention, Randall H. Cunningham,
OF Montreal. Can, resigned as first
Cullough. of st. Louis, was appointed
to fill the vacancy. He will serve in
that capacity for few days preceding
the annual election Of officers, when it
is expected that he will be elected
president. So far there are but three
placeS mentioned as convention cities
for 1897. They are New York, Phila-
defphia and Niagara Falls. The senti-
-ment seems to be in favor of the selec-
ton of Niagara Falls. Russell B. Har-
rison. son Of Gen. Benjamin Harrison,
came in today to attend the conven-
ton. He led the forces Of the supply
men in their attempts at Montreal to
break into the membership Of the as
ISOLATION, but it Is hardly probable
that the same fight will be made this
year. 1t is almost certain to come
before the body in some manner. as it
has every year for some years past,
but will not be pushed very strongly,
About 800 members, mostly from the
East. were present when the conven-
ton was called to order at 10 o'clock
for a several days session.

of the Episcopal church, has written
a letter to the gold standard Demo-

devoted to what he conceives to be the
effort Of the Democratic platform to

South against the East" He asserts
that the tendency is revolutionary and
the men who preach such doctrine are
mot aware Of the Interior results" He
