BLACKLIST VERDICT.
A Conductor Awarded Damages In
the Sum of $2I,666.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Fred r. Ketch-
am was awarded verdict of S21,666
by the jury in Judge Clifford's court
today in his suit against the North
western railroad for $4,000 damages
for blacklisting.
The case of Ketcham against the
Northwestern company has been on
trial for nearly three weeks past, and
has been of great interest to men en-
ployed in the railroad business. During
the great strike Of the American Rail-
way union, Ketcham was employed as
a conductor for the Northwestern. He
joined the strikers, and the evidence
showed, attended some of the meetings
in the interest of the A. r. U.
Since the strike Ketcham claims he
has been unable to secure steady en-
ployment, owing to the fact that he
was blacklisted. He obtained several
positions with other roads, but after
working a short time was discharged,
he alleged, without cause. Not long
ago Ketcham secured employment with
the Michigan Central Elevator COM
pany, at Kensington, and moved his
family to that suburb. He worked
a short time there and was discharged.
The trial throughout was holly con-
tested one on both sides, and several
interesting incidents occurred.

MINNEAPOLIS CIVIL SERVICE.
1T Was the Subject Discussed by the
Charter Commissioners.

Civil service and municipal ownership were
the subjects under discussion at last nights
meeting of the charter commission. Inc
commissioners have apparently come 10 the
Conclusion that they must hurry their work
along and get it out of the way. PRESIDENT
Steel called them to order sharply at lSO
lat night and it was IL o'clock before any
one suggested adjournment.
The chaDter on civil service commissioners
and examiners was the first matter taken up.
Commissioner Walker explained the system
in vogue in other cities of the country, ana
was very strongly in favor of such chapter
as the committee had drawn up for the ac-
ton of the board.
Briefly as adopted the civil service chapter
provides as follows Creates a commission
to he known as the civil service commission,
to consist of three members, no more than
two of whom are to be members OF the same
nolittcal party; the commissioners shall re-
ceiye no salary, but shall appoint a chief
examiner, who shall receive pay and be eX-
oficio secretary of the commission; the com
mission shall classify all the different kinds
of public service with reference to the eX-
aminations and rules provided for in the
chapter to cover all appointeeS and en-
ployes of the city. excepting heads OF de-
partments and their first assistants, superin-
tendents of public institutions, etc.; the COM
mission shall frame set of rules for conduct
ing examinations for applications for posi-
tions; examinations shall be free to all ctti-
zens Of the United States resident IN Min
neapolis inquiries into their religious or
political opinions are prohibited; commission
shall keep list of all those who have passed
the civil service examination; and when a
vacancy is to be filled the commission shall
hand to the head of the department or the
board in which such vacancy occurs, the
names of the three standing highest on the
list, one of these three to be selected for
the position those supporting families and
veterans of the late war are to be given
preference above those standing In the same
class with them.
The chapter provides also that after the
adoption of the rules of the commission all
appointments shall be governed by such
rules: that all boards, heads of departments
or officers of the city shall have power to
remove discharge or suspend anyone hold
ing a subordinate Office, such removal, dis
charge or suspension to be reported to the
president of the commission and the city
comptroller; when it is deemed necessary
temporary selections may be made of per-
sons who have not passed civil service ex-
aminations such engagement not exceeding
twenty days, from and after the time the
civil service provisions come into operation,
all employees of the city shall be classed with
respect to the governing rules.
There was considerable discussion in re-
gard to various sections of the chapter as
originally drafted, and owing to the number
of changes made the chapter was referred
back to the drafting committee.
Commissioner Davenport presented an a.

breyiated and, as he termed II, an alterne~
tive chapter on civil service, and moved its
adoption. The commission didn't like it and
1t was voted down.
The chapter on municipal ownership was
then taken up, but only three sections were
considered. Section /, as adopted, provides
that the city of Minneapolis shall have power
to acquire real or personal property for the
purpose of erecting constructing, operating
and maintaining water works, lighting plant
or plants, including gas and. electric light,
street railways and equipment, city trans
portation servicej telephone lines and SER
vice. city telegraph lines and service, con-
duits and sub-ways, market and market
houses and auditoriums, and may also &C
quire such property already existing by con-
Sections and s provide for the submis-
sion of a proposition to acquire such prop
erty to a vote of the people, A two-thirds
vote of the council is required before the mat
fer shall be submitted to the people and for
the adoption of the proposition to so acquire
propertv a two-thirds vote Of the people vot-
Ing on the question Is required, providing
further than four-sevenths Of those voting
at the election cast their ballots for or
against the proposition In question. The re-
nainder Of the chapter was laid
over until the next meeting OF the council
Commissioner Haynes gave notice that at
the next meeting he would introduce mo-
ton. giving 1t as the sense Of the commits
sion that the new charter should provide for
the appointment by the mayor Of board Of
municfnaI examiners, which board shall have
mower to examine into the afthtrs of every
city department. In snort speeeh the COM
missioner explained his reasons for lntroduc-
ing the motion.

DURHAM JURY OUT.
Second Disagreement Is Confidently
Predicted.

At 5 o'clock last evening the tones Of Judge
against George A Durham, indicted and twice
tried on charge Of bribery, preferred by
HalYorson and Richards, of the firm
of the same name. There was the usual
crowd of aldermen in waiting when the case
closed and they showed their interest in the
fate Of their fellow by waiting about the court
room for the jury to return with the verdict,
There was considerable speculation as to
what the result would be- but it was generally
in the case. There was no special reason for
this belief except that it was an aldermanic
trial,
The jury is still out, and it is hardly prob
able that any verdict will be returned before
some time late today. Little was done last
evening, as the jury asked to see Judge FL
hot about 8 o'clock, and they are known not
to have discussed the case after that time.
Judge Elliot arrived at 1880, but as several
decided fot to call them in before this morn
ing and give what instruction they may wish.

expecting that some decision would be reached
during the evening. Mr.. Durham expressed
the strong belief that he would be acquitted.

the Result.
NEW YORK, Nov 18.-Samuel J. K.
Adler claims that a man who looks re-
markedly like him, and to whom he
had rented the privilege Of using his
name, got him into a lot of trouble
through contracting marriage without
resuming his own patronymic. His Sec
ond wife, Mrs. Carrie Adler obtained
an absolute divorce from him on Oct.
q, 1896. Her suit was tried before the
supreme court in this city, and her ale
cation was that Adler had left her In
1896 and gone to Nebraska, where he
had married Miss Eliza Siebert, of
Creole. She proved to the satisfac-
ton of the court that man who gave
the name of Adler had contracted a
marriage, and several persons identified
her husbands picture as that of the
Western bridegroom
Mr.. Adler now makes the astonishing
assertion that another man was mar
ried in his name and that for the dam
age he sustained through that cere-
mony he has brought suit for $780, OO
in the United States district court for
the Southern district court of Virginia.
r. E. Valentine, OF the Grand Union
hotel, in this city, showed yesterday a
letter he had just received from Neefe
& Neefe, Virginia lawyers, declaring
double, had offered $4,000 to compro-
mise the action begun by Mr.. Adler.
This offer was not accepted.
The lawyers inclose what purports to
be a complete record of the case up to
date, showing a claim for damages
brought by Mr.. Adler. Of this city,
against Gen. Arnold, Of Virginia, for
$500, 900 for using the name Of Adler in
contracting a marriage with Eliza Sic
bert. The defendants answer, through
the law firm of .Barrois & Crumbie, de-
MED the allegation and asserted that
Mr.. Adler, in conspiracy with his di-
vorced wife, was attempting to eXtort
money from Gen. Arnold. Issue was
tCined on March 81 last.
Mr.. Adler is now living at 2O3 West
Forty-first street. When seen yester-
day he expressed great indignation that

FREIGHTs COLLIDE.
Curious Disaster Between Northern
Pacific and Milwaukee Trains.

A collision between a Milwaukee and
Northern Pacific transfer freight occurred at
the University switch, at Delaware street
southeast, yesterday afternoon. The North,
ern Pacific engine was badly damaged, and
several box cars were smashed up, entailing
q total damage of nearly 5000
The accident was caused by too much
promptness on the part of the Milwaukee
train. The Northern Pacific is supposed 10
transfer It's cars at this place at L o'clock,
while the Milwaukee is scheduled for an hour
later 1t was Just 1870 when the accident &C.
Cured The Northern Pacific engine had just
drawn a string of thirty-four cars out when
a freight train was seen coming around the
hill towards the Franklin avenue bridge. This
was being backed up, and its engineer did
not see the impending danger. Engineer II.
w Thompson of the Northern Pacific,
brought his engine to g standstill expecting
that the Milwaukee train would stop before
striking him. The Milwaukee train was NOV
ing very slowly at this time but still 1t kept
on 1t was barely moving when the fiat car
at the end Of the Milwaukee train struck the
engine. But there was considerable force
back of it, The Northern Pacific had its
tender foremost. The box car was forced up
to this, and breaking through the water
tank crushed into the cab. Here it met with
some resistance and the foremost end was
forced back, resulting in the breaking Of the
box car, and the broken half was thrown
back over the other half. The oncoming cars
kept up their slow but steady pace. The car
next to the box car was an empty st. Paul d.
Duluth box car. 1t gave considerable resist
ance and a Great Northern car telescoped,
striking q st. Paul & Duluth car on the ad-
Joining track, throwing 1t from It's trucks
and onto the ground. In all five cars and the
engine were damaged. The cars were, how
ever, all of the Milwaukee transfers. Wreck
ing crews from the Northern Pacific and the
Milwaukee were Immediately set at work, and
within a few hours the debris had been re-
moved
Engineer Thompson had very narrow es
cape during the collision. AS he did not be-
lieve that the cars would strike him, he
stayed by his engine. In fact. he did not
make any attempt to get out of harms way
before the box car was creeping towards the
cab He jumped just as the water tank
broke. and experienced a complete drench
ing. The fireman, Fred Bouret, had already
left the engine when the cars came together.
