Not Ready for Amy Formal IndOrse-
menfs,

menfs,
The house members of the Hennepln
delegation in the coming session Of
the legislature met at the office OF
F., E. Smith in the G. 10 building
last evening. The full membership was
present and all sorts of candidates.
were discussed. After the meeting it
was announced that the delegation had
not decided to support any of the can
didates 1t is understood that the Hen
nepin delegation is still uncertain as
to the course to be pursued. The city
of Minneapolis needs so much in the
way of legislation, that it is more than
probable that none of the speakership
possibilities will be formally indorsed.
Mr. Smith is still in the attitude of
man who might be a candidate if he
did not live in Hennepin county, and
Judge Hicks does not care whether he
lives in Minneapolis or elswhere; If
the legislature wants him, he is willing
to serve The claims Of the other cam
didates were gone over, but the whole
matter of appointments and places is
left OPEN The next meeting of the
delegation will also include the sena-
tors They will invite those interested
in the completion of the new court
house and other matters connected
with local legislation. 1t will be held
some time next week.

MILLIONS IN FREIGHrs.
Traffic of Lake Superior forth Sea-
SON of Navigation.

DULUTH, MINI, Dec. S.-The sea-
son Of Lake Superior navigation clos
ed yesterday, aFremarkably late date
for such wintry fall, though last
years close was, Dec, IL. 1t has been
a remarkable season all through. MANY
interesting features having been at
tached to the year 1896 on the Great
Lakes. Never had there been such a
volume of traffic, and had the iron
ore trade not fallen off markedly in
the later months this unprecedented
volume would haye- been increased
by another million tons. 1t has been
season of low 'freig9lts. and the rate
of LA mills pers ton per mile, made
in 1895, has been quite materially de-
creased. 1t has been a year of larger
ships, deeper channels and greater
cargOeS than ever known, and it has
seen a grain movement utterly beyond
all comparison. The passenger traffic
of the canal exceeded by about SO per
cent any preceding year.
One chief feature of interest in the
years business has been the grain
traffic, so great as to make up for the
loss in ore and add over million tons
to the business of 1895. In all. S8 565. :
600 bushels, of which So .0OO, 600 were
wheat. have been carried out OF Lake
Superior, or about two and a half mil
lion TONS There have also been car

equal to 80, 900 bushels Of wheat.
The enormous quantity Of 500, ,O0O, 900
feet of lumber has gone through the
canal eastward, while 100000 tons OF
coal have been carried west. These
ere merely the larger items of traffic.
Among the smaller items were 116, 900
tons Of refined copper, valued at about
S23, ,OO60Q0, besides silver, manu-
factured and pig iron, and
a great quantity or ,rmerchandise. The
total tonnage Of the yeeer was 100000
TONS and it was carried on .1S,445 ves-
sells. More than 81 .1s, asea,.-
gers were eiven .ns,,ay.tstion ,t
iiip Or down. The chief single item of
freight, Of course, was iron ore. OF
which 7100, 900 gross tons We're Sent
from Lake Superior ports.
Little idea of the immensity of these
figures can be gathered by reading
them, nor will comparisons aid great
ly. The value of the stuff carried into
/ or out of Lake Superior in the year
can scarcely have been less than $780,
000, 900, and Of the half dozen largest
items individually referred to above it
has been fully $150,000,00 600.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly low
freight rates of the year, it is esti-
mated that about $15,0O000 have
been paid to lake ship owners
for freight carried to and from Lake
Superior alone during the year.

NEW BRAMBEL PATENTS.
Two Important Inventions by the
Rotary Engine Man.


SLEEPY EYE MINI, Dec. S.-Grant
Brambel inventor Of the rotary engine
that has created a sensation, has Just
filed a caveat for a patent that will be
exceedingly popular.
This latest device is an automatic
airbrake coupler, a simple piece of
mechanism that does away with the
rubber coupling between cars. The
Brambel coupler is so arranged that
when cars come together to be coupled,
the air brake couples itself opens the
valves automatically and there re-
mains, accommodating itself to the UP
and down and swinging motion of the
train while in motion. When desired
to uncouple the car, all that has to be
done is to lift the lever for the steel
coupler and the automatic air brake
arrangement closes its own valve and
moves forward without any more at
tention 1t completes the series of
automatic railway appliances and does
away with some hazards due to rubber
connections.
Another Of Mr.. BrambePs patents is
his arcodescent electric system, some
time ago referred to by him as a big
ger thing than his engine. 1t is a sci
entific and mechanical arrangement
that permits of two separate currents
from one armature and commutator.
In the systems now used there must be
separate dynamos where both arc and
incandescent lights are desired, or else
the light is furnished in series. The
new system combines in one dynamo
both currents, permitting the drawing
off Of current for either arc or incan-
descent lighting. The new dynamo is
attracting the attention Of electricians
all over the country, but Mr.. Brambel
has refused all offers for the sale of the
patent, preferring to introduce it him
self.
The report published in Chicago that
Mr.. Brambel had received the money
from the Allen syndicate on their offer
for his engine is untrue They have till

Anderson Gained Three.

The aldermanic contest in the Sixth ward,
involving the question as to whether Alex
Swanson or Andrew Anderson received the
plurality of votes, was yesterday decided by
recount at the city hall. The recount occu-
material changes in the result, and no indi-
cations Of fraud In fact, considered as a
whole, general surprise was expressed at the
accuracy of the work of the judges. The re-
suit net gain for Anderson, he being al
lowed three votes which were ruled out at
the time of the election, and mis- plurality was
placed at 120.

Two DEGREES Given.

Judge Smith opened up the divorce mill
yesterday morning, and granted several di-
vorces. Laura A. Saberg was granted a di-
vorce from Otto Henry Saberg, allega-

secured a decree of separation and divorce
from James J. Mclaughlin for desertion. She
had more serious charges in her complaint,
but did not press them.
Hugh H. McNulty tried for a divorce from
Bridget McNulty, but she resisted and
contest is on. Cruelty is the charge, which
the wife denies, and there are numerous wit

Yesterday was the next thing to a holiday

state penitentiary at Saltwater in response

Wolfer. Fortunately for the city Mayor Pratt's

NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Proposed Electric Line to Minne-
tOnka VIII Meet Opposition.

If the electric line to Minnetonka,
which pas proposed to the county COM
missioners by H. c. Akeley, Monday, is
started, it will meet with the most
serious opposition. There is no doubt
but that the public would like to see an
electric line built to Minnetonka, but
under the existing circumstances 1t
seems hardly possible that any shrewd
business man would undertake to build
an extension Of the st. Louis Park line
and expect that 1t would pay.
The reason is simply this: That any
Of the three railroads now running to
Minnetonka could equip an electric line
would finish digging its post holes.
Not only that, but the railroads could
do it at about one-tenth the expense
necessary to the new line.

has been raised as to whether any of

pie at the late election have passed.
Each one received a majority of the
votes cast on it, but there seems to
be some question about them having
been printed on separate ballots. This is
not in accordance with section /. chap
ter &c. laws of 1885, Auditor Nipple
says this will probably invalidate them
but the matter will be doubtless tested
