POINT IN BANKING.
Judge Brill Holds That CertiIicR-
ton Doesn't Release Drawer.

Judge Brill fled an order yesterday
overruling the demurrer to the COM
plant in the suit of the Union Bank
against the Lehigh Coal and Coke
Company. The order decides an in
teresting point arising out Of the sUs-
persion Of the Bank of Minnesota.
The defendant gave to the Union
bank a check for $500 on the Bank OF
Minnesota on Dec. 81 The check was
delivered after banking hours, but the
Union bank sent it to the Bank Of Min
nesota for certification, and it was GER
tilted. The Bank Of Minnesota closed
the following day and payment of the
check was refused when it was pre-
sented on that day. The check was
pany, which refused payment on the
ground that the certificatiOn of the
check released the company from the
obligation to pay 1t. In overruling the
demurrer Of the coal company Judge
Brill says:
Where a check is not paid on due presenta-
ton, the drawer is liable to the holder if
seasonable notice is given, but the defend
ants invoke the rule that the drawer is dis
charged if the payee procures the check to
be certified by the bank on which it is drawn
when he might instead of certifcation receive
, payment. Acceptance of a check is not
necessary, it being payable presently on de-
mand and the drawer agrees only that it
of payment the holder accepts certifcation
a state of affairs arises not contemplated by
the parties, and for this reason it is held
that the holder thereafter assumes the risks
of payment and drawer is discharged.
The facts stated by the complaint present
a case different from any cited, and the rea-
son above referred to for dischargng the
drawer does not apply to this case. Here
the check was received too late for collec-
tion on the day it made. It was pre-
sented for payment in due course on the fol-
lowing day, and the fact that in the mean
time it had been certified would not appear
to affect the relation of the drawer to ire
holder The holder did not accept the GER
tifcation in place Of payment, it being too
late at that time to demand payment, and
it was presented for payment according to
the allegations of the complaint in due course
upon the morning of the next day. The hold
er did not waive payment by procuring the
check to be certified under the circumstances;
and, while the question is not free from diff
fculty I think the drawer was not dis
charged. There is nothing in the complaint
to show why payment was refused, nor
does it appear that the amount of the check
was charged up by the bank to the account
of the drawer, but If we to assume that
such charge was made, that fact alone is
not sufficient to release the drawer. Where
the drawer procures the certifcation of a
check, he is still held although the amount
of the check is thereupon charged to his
account by the bank.

CUTS NO ICE HERE.
Fact That Minneapolis Ice Dealers
Have Reduced Prices

st. Paul ice dealers are not the least
DIT worried at the supposed prospect
OF a reduction in the price Of that arti-
Gle on account of the drop made by
Minneapolis dealers from 81 to $3.50 per
month, to go in effect May /. The local
people, while in doubt as to what caused
the cut in prices, incline to the belief
that some of the larger companies have
determined to freeze out the little fell
lows.
The statement is made that one con-
Germ in Minneapolis, which lately went
into the hands of receiver is respOn-
Slble for the slash, but however this
may be, the ST. Paul men say that his
efforts have been in the direction of
selling his supply IN bulk, and that he
will hardly be able to do this in St.
Paul at any rate, for the reason that
the harvest last winter was excellent.
and there are packed away by the five
or six local companies something be-
tween 10000 and 115,000 tons of the cold
stuff ready for consumption at any
time.
While this cut when made in Mime
apolis, brought down the price in the
dozen or more companies, it will scarce
ly reach here, as, Of course, competi-
ton from Minneapolis does not count
here, and unless some local firm makes
the reduction the prices which have
stood here for some years will probably
make up the schedule this year as
usual. The prices which have held here
are for the six months, beginning May
1, 81 a month, calling for twenty-five
pounds of ice daily so cents a month
during the four winter months, and 81
a month during April and November.
1t is believed here that the reduced
rate which will go in effect at Mime
apolis does nOtacontemplate deliveryin-
to the ice boxes and refrigerators Of the
patrons, but simply upon the sidewalk
or at the door of the houses where it is
delivered. This difference which might
to the uninitiated seem trifiing one, is,
according to the ice men, one which
counts very much one way or another
in the matter of time and ground COW
cred.

FINED THE MEN.
But Held That the Women Were

The vigilance Of Sergt. Davis and
Onlcer O'Neill was yesterday RESPONSE
bic for the appearance in the police

the street after midnight, it was alleged
IN the testimony of the prosecution, and
seeing the persons go into the ware
house informed Sergt. Davis The Off
GERS forced an entrance and placed the
parties under arrest. The male pris-
oners offered the defense that they were
aware Of having attracted the atten-
ton OF the police and went into the
cold storage building to escape notice.
The women were much embarrassed by
their predicament and refused to testf-
~ but claimed they had left the house
OF a friend with whom they had been

Exchange of Deposit Note and Re-
ceipt Leads Up TO the Pres
ent Charge.

William r. Bickel, Of the Minnesota
Savings bank, was in demand yester-
day afternoon. A warrant for his ar
rest was issued upon complaint OF Il.
]. Lucius. charging him with grand
larceny in the first degree.
The warrant was placed in the hanus
of the sheriff at 4:3O p. m, but at
midnight Mr. Bickel was still at large.
Mr.. Lucius was a depositor in the
Minnesota Savings bank. He is sta
tionary engineer. On and prior to
Nov. 10. 1896 Mr.. Lucius had on de-
posit in the Minnesota Savings bank
the sum of 81, ,940.7S. AS the outcome OF
certain business dealings with Chafles
z, Thurston, the latter sued Mr.
Lucius to recover the sum of $2,OOO,
and garnisheed the Minnesota Savings
bank to that amount. Two or three
days afterWard, so Mr.. Luclus informed
the county attorney, he conversed with
w. +. Bickel at the bank. Mr.. Blckel
told Lucius that Mr.. Thurston had
approached him few days before the
garnishment proceedings and asked
him whether Lucius had any money
on deposit with his (BickePs) bank.
Mr. Bickel admitted to Lucius that he
had informed Thurston that Lucius had
money on deposit in the bank, and then
expressed his regret that he had done
so, feeling that he had not done right
to a customer of the bank.
In order to square himself, so Mr..
Lucius says, Bickel proposed that
Lucius put up $59.O2 more-enough to
bring his deposit up to an even $1,000
he IL
cius his note for $4,000, and that in
return for this piece Of paper Mr.. Lu
cius should sign and deliver to the
bank a receipt for the $4,000 on deposit.
This programme was carried out.
After the failure of the bank in jan
uary, Mr.. Lucius presented his claim to
the receivers. He was informed that
his account with the bank was closed
on Nov. 10, 1896, and that the books
showed no money to his credit.
Upon the disclosure had in the gar
nishment proceedings against the bank,
William F. Bickel offered the receipt
of Mr.. Lucius as evidence that the
bank didn't owe Lucius anything.
That receipt is now in the possession of
the county attorney.
Exactly what became Of the $4,000
deposited in the Minnesota Savings
bank by Mr. Lucius that gentleman
does not know except that he alleges
ne has never seen any Of it, Conse-
quently he swore out a complaint yes
terday charging William r. BicHel with
stealing the $4,000 from the Minnesota
Savings bank. In reality Mr.. Lucius
feels that he is $1,000 out. ..
The receipt Of Mr.. Lucius given in
exchange for BickeIs note for $4,000
Is dated Nov. 9, 1885, the day previous
to the garnishment proceedings, but
1t also bears the official bank
stamp dated Nov. II, 1896 Bickeps note
to Lucius is dated Sept %.

Made Man and Wife.

John Landers and Betty Taylor, a colored
couple. caught in the police drag net Of
Saturday night on the charge of disorderly
condTct got out of their difficulty in the
municipal court yesterday by getting mar
ried. When the case was called it developed
that the couple had been living together for
some years and had several children. The
safeguard of a marriage ceremony had never
dawned upon them with any considerable
force before but when confronted with the
possibility Of a workhouse sentence they
decided to comply with the law Of church.
The ceremony was performed during the noon
recess of court and when Landers showed
up with the signed license in the afternoon
Judge Twohy ordered the couple discharged.

NO NEED OF CEMENT.
Seventh Ward Sidewalks Are Con-
sidered Good Enough.

sidered Good Enough.
The board Of public works was not in
session yesterdays the four members
of the board hying themselves to vari-
Gus parts of the city to inspect wood
en- sidewalks. At recent meetings of
the assembly and board Of aldermen
large number of preliminary orders
were passed for the construction Of
new sidewalks. The board decided TO
make a personal inspection Of the
streets on which the walks were
ordered instead Of taking the opinion
OF the aldermen or aSSemblymen as to
the need Of the improvements.
Commissioner Banholzer took the
Seventh ward, Assemblyman Kirke
having introduced preliminary orders
requiring cement walks laid on the
east side OF Dale street between Sum-
nit and Grand avenues; on the north
side Of Summit avenue between st.
Adams and Victoria streets; on the
south side Of Summit avenue between
Dale and Avon; on both sides Of Fair
mount avenue from Avon to Victoria,
and on both sides Of Grotto street be-
tween Summit and Fairmount After
returning from his tour of inspection,
Commissioner BanhOlZer reported that
so far as he could determine there
was no need for the present wooden
sidewalks being torn UP and cement
walks put down. The condition of the
sidewalks was very good, some of them
having been down only two or three
years. The only reason he could Sug-
geSt for the proposed change was that
the residents or the aSSemblyman put
ting in the orders desired to have the
appearance of the streets improved by
tearing up the wood walks and putting
down stone ones. The probabilities are
that the board, on the report of the
commissioner, will make adverse re-
ports as to these improvements.
President Copeland took the orders
for walks in the First and Second
wards and made an inspection in that
section. He reported that with one or
preliminary orders had been passed
were needed.
Commissioner Hare had turned over
to him the orders for new wooden
sidewalks in the Sixth ward and re-
ported that the improvements were
needed in each case where orders had
been passed.
to the Eighth and Ninth wards, had
not returned to the office when the
closing hour arrived last evening.
President Copeland, in speaking OF
the matter of new sidewalks ordered,
said that the board had determined
to carefully inspect each piece of walk
ordered by the council before returning
final orders. The board were Of the
opinion that at this time it was a
hardship for property owners to ex-
pend any more money than was abso-
lutely necessary, and the board would
in each instance satisfy themselves
that 1t was necessary to have new
walks relaid before the final order was
PASSED.
