THE TRIBUNE CoNFEssEs.

When the movement in favor of
building a system of cycle paths first
obtained headway in Minneapolis it
was set forth, with accustomed disre-
gard of fact, by the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. That paper, confessing that st.
Paul was far in the lead in the enter
prise with which cycle paths have been
pushed here, apologized afterward by
remarlling that there was less need of
such paths in Minneapolis on account
Of the superior condition of her streets.
The thoroughfares Of st. Paul, it said,
were in such wretched condition that
you could not go anywhere without a
cycle path, while in Minneapolis such
paths were really a luxury, rather than
a necessary for wheelmen. Now comes
the Minneapolis Tribune and, remark
ing on the same subject, says:
The proposed cycle path from Park avenue
to Seventh street cannot be built any too
quickly. As it is now there isn't street
leading south from the business center which
is passable for wheels, and yet the bicycle
season will not close for two months vet
Upper Ncollet is a hopeless mudhole, First
avenue to Grant invites riders to accident, if
not to DEATH because there is only a narrow
path available between the car tracks, while
Second and Third avenues south, with their
demoralizeo cedar block pavement, would
wreck a wheelbarrow pushed at slow walk
to say nothing of a bicycle
When the Minneapolis newspapers
are making remarks on the compare
tive merits of the two cities in vari-
Gus respects, they should get together
and agree beforehand on what they are
going to say. The contrast between
the statement Of the Journal and that
of the Tribune is not complimentary to
the journalistic methods of the city. No
rider of the wheel who has ever ven-
tured within the city limits of Mime
apolis needs to be told which paper
gave the truth to the public.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEw.
Commerce Somewhat Retarded by
Gripping Bank EaihFcs. ,

Below is the weekly trade review as
reported by Messrs. r. G. Dun & Co.:
The year 1897 begins with one clear
advantage; the past year has swept out
and away n great number of unsound
concerns, which in any time of activity
would have been danger to business.
/. OF the Is, 2S6 business and commercial
failures in 1896 with liabilities of S216,
$40, 549, IL large share represented Grip

violence of speculative storms in 1895 or
the. first half of 1896, while thousands
more resulted from the fury of the pO-
litical tornado last fall Banking fail
ures amounting to $40. IlS,9lj during
the year averaged $256, 1876 each, and
were 145 per cent larger than III 1898.
Commercial failures amounted to
1926, O06, S3i II little over 81 900, 600 hav-
ing been added by the last day of the
year. but the average of liabilities,
SlI, ,992, was smaller than in some years
of great prosperity. The failures OF
brokerage and other commercial con
Germs averaged SIS, ,4lS each, increasing
1873 per cent over 1885, while manufac-
turing failures averaged S2S, ,S0S each,
and increased 3i per cent, and trading
failures increased 1S per cent. and av-
craccd only $9.6o6 each.
"While banking. failures have not
ceased ut the West apprehension about
them has almost %ubsidel and no
serious influence upon general trade il

Split Their Heads Omen.

A special from Maysvile, $ c., to
the Columbia Register, dated Jan. eth,
says: ''Simon Cooper, the negro out
law who it will be remembered shot and
killed another negro hy the namc of
Davis, and wounded several others at
Magnolia few days ago. and for whom
there is II reward of 500 offered by the
work this morning near Magnolia.
Cooper entered the house of Mr.. Ben
Wilson this morning about sunrise and
demanded the use of Mr.. Wilson's bug
gy. which was refused. This human
monster then picked up M axe and
split Mr.. Wilson's head wide open. He
then made for Mr.. Wesley Wilson, the
son, and murdered him in like man
ner. He then murdered Mrs. Wesley
Wilson with the same weapon. after
which he struck down II negro who had
come up on hearing the noise, and left
the axe sticking III the ncgro'S head.
Up to this hour Cooper has not been
captured, but it is almost impossible

DECORATED WITH FLOWERS.
Engine House No. Handsomely Orna-
mented by Little Girls.


When Foreman Wagner and the men of
engine company No. returned to quarters
after yesterdays parade they discovered
that during their absence the rooms of
their engine house had been prettily deco
rated with flowers. 1t appears that num-
Der of little girls visited the house Thurs
day afternoon for the purpose of notifying
Foreman Wagner Of their purpose to deco
rate the engine and hose carriage with
flowers prior to its appearance in the
parade. They were much disappointed to
learn that the orders of Chief Paris would
prevent such a thing.
After short consultation among them
they decided to at once call upon Commits
sioner Wight and ask him, as a special
favor. to allow them to carry out their
ing they learned that the Commissioner
was not there, and off they started for his
home. He was out when they reached his
residence, but were invited in and remained
until he returned. Then they explained
their object Of their call. and begged the
Commissioner to grant their request.
Mr.. Wight weE delighted with the interest
the children showed in the matter, telling
them that Nc. was his old company, and
that, while he would be very glad to please
them. he could not very well set aside the
orders of the chief of the department. But
he suggested to the little one that after
the company left the house for the parade
they could decorate the rooms, explaining
that Foreman Wagner and his men would
be as much pleased II they had deco
the Commissioner and promised that they
would follow his suggestion, and No.
house was fragrant yesterday afternoon
with their floral offerings.

FOUR YEARS IN PRISON,

Richard Whceler's "AGectfonnte Nm
ture" Gets Him Into Trouble.
Chief Justice Bingham TODAY sentenced
Aaron j.. alias Robert A. alias Richard
A., Wheeler. young colored man, TO four
years in the New Jersey state prison at
hard labor on a plea of guilty of bigamy.
Wheeler admitted that during the past
two years he married three women, Mag
gle NJ. Clark, Louisa II. White and Rosa
Smith.
His attorney, Mr.. Samuel D. Truitt,
stated to the court that Wheeler's previous
character was an excellent one, and he
asked for leniency, pleading that the pris-
oner's crime was the result of his ignorance
and affectionate nature.
''He will never marry again, I'm sure -
said Mr.. Truitt.
Not for several years." remarked the
court. His ignorance might have been
urged in some slight extenuation of his
offense in marrying the second woman,
but not as to the third woman. Had he
been indicted as to each he could be i'm
prisoned for seventeen years. He is en-
titled to but slight consideration, outside
of the fact of his previous good character.
The onense is one which merits little less
than the imposition of the extreme penalty
for the first offense, five years, and the
sentence l will make four years"
The next prisoner to be arraigned An
drew, alias James A. Thomas, coiored. also
pleaded guilty of bigamy, and he was given
the same sentence.
