ING SUPREME COURT
TERM.
CITY COUNCIL FURNISHES
THE MONEY NECESSARY TO PRE-
PARE THE CASE FOR A
HEARING.
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CAUSES
Are on Clerk Reese's Tab for the
October Term of the High
Court.

The action commenced by Attorney
General Childs against the Duluth Gas
and Water company to revoke the
charter of the defendant will be tried
at this term of the supreme court, or
at least a referee will be appointed to
take the testimony. There was con-
siderable doubt about the matter, as
the Duluth officials evidenced an apathy
in providing funds to carry on the case,
and owing to the nature of the action
and the expert testimony required, a
goodly sum is needed. The attorney
general received word from the city
attorney of Duluth yesterday, however,
that the city had appropriated $1,000 to
carry on the prosecution.
The state applied to have the de-
gross negligence on the part of the
company in providing for it's city water
supply; that owing to imperfect supply
pipes the drinking water of the Du-
luthians was contaminated with sewer
refuse, and that. this caused an cpl
demic of typhoid fever.
The attorney generals Office is well
supplied with work at this term.
Among the other actions up on appeals
are the cases against offenders for sell
ing liquor without licenses-Joseph Ar
bes, of Dodge county; Martin P. Holt,
of Grant county, and John Corcoran,
of LIE Sueur county.
The other actions In which the state
is interested are:
State ex rel, James c. Haas VS.. Fred c.
porr for mand0mnS show
cause why the defendant, who is state oil
inspector, did not retain Haas as deputy OF
Goodhue county, the latter claiming that he
was competent and should be given the
preference as he was an old soldier. Ihe
Hennepin county district court gave an order
favoring Haas.
convicted in the Ramsey county district court
of forgery.
In the matter of the claim of the state
against the Northern Trust company, in
solvent, appeal from Judge Elliott, of
Hennepin county. The states claim is for
money on deposit, 1,9OO in the Bank of Red
wood Falls which failed.
State VS.. Peter J. Borgstrom, the ex-regis,
ter of deeds of St. Louis county, convicted Of
disappointing public money.
eral against the Duluth Boom company, to
revoke the latters charter by reason on non
use of same.
The appeal of the Wisconsin, Minnesota IN "a. q q
Pacific railway and the Willmar & Sioux Falls
railway from tie decision requiring them to
provide a transfer at Hanley-the celebrated
'Hanley Falls w case.
The appeal from the action of the Crow
Wing county commissioners, piece OF land
having been detached from Cass county and
annexed to Grow Wing county.
Aside from these there are several
tax appeal cases, and an effort will al
so be made to get the Aitkin county
tax case, the action relative to the tax
alton of unimproved railroad lands, on
the calendar at this term.
Clerk Reese reports that there are
2S2 cases on the calendar, very re-
spectacle showing. The term opens
next Tuesday.

upon the Aim of the Sunday School"
the burden of his thought being that
religion cannot be taught but must be
infused, rather, by the spiritual life
and vigor of teacher and parent; that 1t
is necessary to teach the catechism,
the creed and the church history, but
that when all this has been done the
children may yet lack the true religious
teaching. Another point which Prof.
Woodbridge emphasized was that the
children should be taught to love and
support the church as the home Of the
religious life.

success of the Sunday school institute,
stating that it had been more largely

evidence Of greater preparation than
those of preceding years.

however, Judge Twohy said that there
seemed to be a growing tendency OH

LET HODGINs GO.
Cash Bail Not the Thing in State
Cases,

The charge of disposing of mort
gagged property against George Hold
gins was yesterday ordered stricken
from the records of the municipal
court Hodgins was arrested for the
alleged sale of a horse upon which
there was a chattel mortgage. He was
released on 5000 bail, furnished by his
son, George F. Hodgins, and failed to
appear for trial.
This was the case in which the ques-
ton of accepting cash bail in state
cases was raised. When Hodgins failed
to appear the county attorney moved
for the forfeiture Of the 5000 bail, but
Attorney Donnelly, acting for George
F. Hodgins, entered an objection, on
the ground that in state cases, the
clerk of the court could not accept cash
bail After consideration, Judge Orr
upheld this claim, and ordered the
money returned to Hodgins Jr., at the
same time instructing the police court
clerk in the future to accept no cash
security in state cases.

THREE TIMES.
Disabled Steamer Diamant
Picked Up at Sea.
Twice HaWSer Parted and
She Was Given Up as Lost.
T0wed Into Halifax Today BY the
Steamer British Empire.

Halifax, N. s., Feb. 25.-The German
tank steamer Diamsnt from European
ports fer New York, which is Is days
overdue, has been picked up by the
steamer British Empire. Both vessels
early this morning were OF this port, and
were slowly making their way for Hall
fax harbor.
The opinion had bAen prevalent In ship
ping circles that the Diamant had foun-
dered. She carries a crew of 355 men.
Captain Forth of the GaIileo who reached
Boston from London on the 2lst, reported
that he fell in with the tank steamer,
Feb. 10th, 500 miles northeast Of this port.
The Dismant reported that she had lost
her propeller and sent q boat alopgside
with the request that the CALLED tow
her to nearest port. The Calico put out
q hswser and the towing began, the
course being laid for Halifax. Next day
heavy gales came on during which the
wire hawser parted. The Diamant sig
nailed: "Do not lose sight of u.s." And
Captain Forth mani ipulated the GaliIeo so
that another bawser could be gotten:out.
1he sea was very rough but by means of
life buoys a line was fioated and second
hawser pulled in. The tow was resumed
and slowly the boats made for Halifax
with head winds and boistsrous seas.
Soon after another gale came up during
which the hawser parted, leaving the
Dismant rolling fesrfully in the trough
of the sea.
The GaliIeo had towed the Diamant 300
miles. Captain Forth cruised about
nesrly q day but saw no trace of the
steamer ana SO resumed his course.
Captain Forth was sure the Diamant
foundered, but to the Boston shipping
officials he admitted that there was q
chance of the vessel still being sfioat.
He left her on the track of European
vessels.
Several days before the Galileo came
along the Beaver Line steamer Lake Win
nipeg from Liverpool to st. John, sig
nailed the Diamant. The Lake Winnipeg,
undertook to tow her to this port, but Q
bad storm arose, and the Dismant's haw-
ser became entangled with the propeller
of tho Beaver liner. The latter also be-
came disa bled and she was obliged to
drop the tank steamer. The Lake Win
nipeg arrived in st. John early last week.
The British Empire belongs to the
johnson Line of freig hters and 10 bound
for Boston. The Diamant was sighted
February 10 by the Dutch steamer
Veendsm, from Rotterdam for NewYor
