AGAINST TICKET scALPING.
Twin City Merchants Are With the
Railroads.

A prominent st. Paul retailer has sent
to Chairman CALDWELL of the Western
Passenger association, letter in which
it is stated that the merchants of the
Twin Cities, are with the railroads in
the fight against ticket scalping. The
retailer was prompted to write the let
ter on account of the fact that the
roads made low rates into ST Paul and
Minneapolis for the Christmas shop
ping trade. 1t says: ut seems to US
that we might mention to you that by
granting this request the merchants in
both cities feel thankful to your as
ISOLATION. BY extending these cour-
tesies once in awhile it causes much
better feeling to exist between the mer-
chants and the railroads, and it must
seem apparent to you that the
best relations ought to exist be-
tween the people who do
business with the railroads and the
companies themselves. I think l can
say that nearly all the merchants in
this city and Minneapolis have taken
the stand of the railroads in requesting
legislation against the abuse caused by
scalpers."

suggested that as the only trouble was
that the street car company was oc-
cupying the narrow portion Of the
bridge with two tracks, this could be
remedied by taking the cars off the
bridge and make them go over the
Robert street bridge and then back to
South Wabasha street. Mr.. McCardy
favored the placing of $63,500 In the
estimate for the bridge, and said that
the people could stand q one mill raise
in the levy, as the rate was now less
than in other cities. Mr.. Wheelock and
Mr. Bement disagreed with the comp
troller, and Mr.. Wheelock called at
tention to the plan Of the comptroller
to usue 500, 900 in bonds for school pur-
poses, which he thought would make
enough of an increase. 1t would be
unwise, in his opinion, to increase the
tax levy for the purpose Of widening
the bridge. There were other matters
of more moment than this proposed I'M
provement. There were all kinds OF
motions as to amounts to be put In the
estimate, but one was finally carried
allowing 100000 for the starting OF
fund for this purpose. The sum OF $20,-
900 was then added to the fund for the
repair of other bridges and the item
increased from $4,000 to $4,000, was
adopted. A slight change was then
made in the general fund item by which
the sum of 5000 was appropriated for
the lowering Of sewer on Cedar street.
This did not increase the estimate,
however as the amount was deducted
from the miscellaneous division of the
general fund. The comptroller then
announced that he had made mistake
by placing the estimate for the fire de-
partment $4,000 to high. This mis-
take was corrected and the estimate
as a whole was then adopted. Before
ali adjournment was taken, the comp
troIIer announced that for the first time
since he had been comptroller the city
had money enough at the close of the
fiscal year to pay all demands for all
the departments.

DIDN'T CRITICIZE THE MAYOR.
COIOred Reports of the Mass Meet
ing of SaIoOnkeepers.

The two Republican papers pubnshed
In this city fatty misrepresented yes
terday the proceedings at the mass
meeting of the retail liquor dealers
held at Assembly hall Thursday after
noon They alleged in effect that the
meeting was a political gathering,
brought about for the purpose of rails
ing a campaign fund to down Mayor
Doran. in case he should be nominal
ed and that IAN agreement was reach
ed whereby each saloonkeeper is to pay
SIS into a campaign fund" etc. Speak
ers were quoted as criticising the
mayor for his attitude with reference
to the wholesale liquor dealers.
The statements published in these
papers are incorrect. In the first place,
It was not a meeting of the Retail
Liquor Dealers association. 1t was a
mass meeting of a hundred or more
retail liquor dealers of st. Paul, many
Of whom did not or do not now belong
to the association. One of the mem
bers of the association when seen yes
terday said:
THE articles in the morning and
evening paper are both false. The
Globes report was the only truth
full statement There was nothing said
about raising any campaign funds for
any purposes, and there was no poIltl-
cal discussion whatever. The sole OBJ
ject of the mass meeting was 10
strengthen the Retail Liquor Dealers
association. That association is not,
and never will be. a political organiza-
ton. The retail liquor dealers are or
ganizing the same as any other trades
men or craft for the benefit and pro-
lection of their business interests.
1T was just as ex-Ald. Murphy said
in his speech, the liquor dealers had the
same right to organize as any other
class of business men, and that so long
as there were some $50 of them in the
city, an association numbering 200 or
225, would be in a position to protect
the interests of the business against
hostile legislation or other unfair dis
elimination. If the administration
should neglect to prosecute wholesale
liquor dealers or druggists for selling
liquor at retail the association would
be able to hire counsel and secure ev-
idence to prosecute such offenders.
Mhere was no such criticism Of the
mayor or his policy as reported"

ABOUT SECOND PAPERS.
New Decision by Clerk of the Court
Rogers.

No second papers will be Issued by
the clerk of the district cout after Jan.
20, until after the spring election. The
law requires that all foreign born Vo-
ters must have obtained their final pa
pers at least three months before the
election, which is construed to mean
that they cannot register unless they
have had their papers for three months.
There will be no more night sessions Of
the district court during the present
month. 1t is the intention to hold an
evening session on Wednesday, Jan. II,
which will be open to all residents of
Ramsey county. All second papers,
heretofore ordered will be ready for de-
livery next Thursday, Dec, %, at the
clerks Office, where all entitled to them
are requested to call.
Mr. Rogers said yesterday that after
the spring election, the issuing of final
papers, free of charge, will be resumed
in order to qualify residents for the fall
election of 1898.

Amount necessary to be
raised by taxation. ...... 1882 81, 382, S27
The feature Of the meeting yester-
day was the admission of Comptroller
McCardy that he had made an error in
making up his estimate. He had been
asked about the error by Assemblyman
Kirke at the meeting of the committee
on Wednesday, but at that session
stuck to the proposition that his figures
were correct. Yesterday, however, the
comptroller said he desired to amend
the estimate by making the amount
required for the fire department $780,
900 instead of 100000, and this was
done. Mr.. Kirke stated Thursday aft
ernoon that he had discovered other
errors in the estimate which, if cor
rected, would reduce the total amount
to be raised by taxation for 1898 some
$4,000. 1t was expected Mr.. Kirle
would be on hand yesterday afternoon
to have q bout with the comptroller,
but he did not put in an appearance
THE never ending item nineteen" as
the mayor expressed it, relating to the
bridge repair fund, was taken up as
soon as the committee was called up
yesterday. Aid. Bell headed delega-
ton from the West side to urge the
placing of $63, 500 in the bridge fund
estimate for widening Wabasha street
bridge. The vote by which the motion
tc include this amount was defeated
Thursday was reconsidered and the
next two hours devoted to discussion.
Communications were read from Slap
les & King, William E. Mccormick and
Philip Shufeldt, interested in business
industries on the West SIDE, asking that
some action be taken to make the
structure passable for teams. Aid. Bell
made a strong plea for placing an
amount sufficient to widen the bridge
in the estimate. The interests of the
city demanded that it be put in a god
condition. 1t was all right to go be-
fore the public and say the tax levy
had not been increased, but If this
was done at the expense of the inter-
ests of the city the citizens would con-
slider it foolish. William Thompson,
strain. Mayor Doran said number of
business firms had located on the West
side and were valuable additions to the
city. To his knowledge one industry
had been lost to the city by reason of
the south end of the bridge not being
high enough to allow a railroad track
to be put under the structure. He adj
vocated the placing Of $63,500 in the
estimate to start the fund for the wild
ening Of the bridge.
Mr. Wheelock was of the opinion that
the whole trouble could be remedied
by having the bridge property paved or
planked, and directing the street car
company to operate only one track on
the narrow portion. Mr.. Bement said
So, 500 in repairs would make the bridge
good for three years, and there was
no reason for increasing the tax levy
rate to make the proposed repairs just
now. In three years, times would be
better and the debt of the city much
less. Mr. Zimmerman wanted $4,000
put in next year and the same amount
for the next three years. Mr.. Bement

of This City.
The sad news of the death, in Chicago, of
Mrs Lloyd w. Bowers the only daughter of
Hon. Thomas Wilson, of this city, came yes
terrday to shock the many friends of the Will
family, both In st. Paul and Winona, the
latter place being where the Wilson resi-
dence formerly was. According to kilograms
received, Mrs. Bowers died after a very brief
illness of typhoid fever, and there were pres

to lend what aid and comfort possible.
Mrs. Bowers was thirty-two years of age
at the time of her death, and is survived by
her husband, the general counsel Of the Chi
cago & Northwestern road, and two young
children, Thomas and Martha. She was
married eleven years ago to Mr.. Bowers,
then young attorney, who came out from
New Yo-k and entered a law partnership in
Winona with her father Judge Wilson. When
the Judge was made counsel of the Omaha
road ard NOV ed to st. Paul, the Bowers took
up their residence in Chicago, where Mr..
Bowers held the same position with the Chi
cago & Northwestern
1t was their habit to spend the Christmas
holidays with Judge Wilson here in ST. Paul,
and preparations for their coming this year
were interrupted by the illness of Mrs Bow
ers. During their visits to St. Paul they
made host of warm friends, who will learn
with genuine grief Of Mrs. Bowers death.
The event will prove a severe shock to the
Judge, who, especially since the death of his
wife here two years ago. has been wrapped
up III his daughter and her two bright chill
dren.

Hon. William Mitchell, of the supreme
court a close friend of Judge Wilson, leaves
this morning for Winona, where he will make
arrangements for the funeral. There will
probably be four pall-bearers from Chicago,
the remaining four being selected from the
friends of the dead woman living at her
former home.
Quite number of st. Paul people will at
tend the funeral.
