that twenty associations there are In a
bad way. and that the most OF them

WORKED WITH THAT IN VIEW.

THAT HE WOULD DESTROY
THE MARKET.

Do So.

EX-Gov. William r. Merriam, re-
ceiver of the Minnesota Packing and
Provision company, was the first wit
ness called yesterday morning. in the
case on trial before Judge Brill. He
testified that he took possession of the
Minnesota Packing and Provision cont
pany and of the car company on April
s. He gave the liabilities of the Min
nesota Packing and Provision compa-
ny on that date as 1894 ,619.28, and the
assets on that date $132,6S4.7S. He
went into the details of the various
items showing these amounts He
also testified that there were only $685.
900 worth of meats and supplies on
hand when he took possession, and
that he had those inventoried at the
market price of those days. and had
sold nearly all of them at about the
prices inventoried. He said that he
sold 100000 pounds of California meats
to Fowler Bros. for SIS cents.
In the afternoon Fred S. Page live
stock commission merchant, of South
St.Paul, testified that Mr. Shufeldt tried
to get him to move from South st.
buyers paid more for hogs at New
Brighton after they started than they
offered to pay at the same time at
South st. Paul. He said they paid
about ten or fifteen cents per 100 more,
and that in order to keep up the mar
ket at South st. Paul, Mr.. Flower,
president of the stock yard company,
made up the difference to them and
also bought hogs himself
Nat Rogers testified to substantially
the same facts except that he said
Spillman, one of the defendants, asked
him if he was going to New Brighton.
He said he was not, and Spillman told
him he would have to go, as New
Brighton was to be the live stock mar
ket
J. J. Flanagan, cashier of the stock
yards bank, testified that Shufeldt sent
for him on Jan. IS, 1897. He went to
Shufeldt's house at his request and
found that Shufeldt wanted him to
start a bank at New Brighton. lie
told the witness that he did not need
any capital. Flanagan said he de-
clined the offer. He further testified
that Shufeldt told him that was going
to be the live stock market of the
West that he was going to build it up.
He said the railroads were back of II,
and that they would place obstacles in
the way of switching live stock to
South ST. Paul. Witness further testi-
fed that he asked Shufeldt if the peo-
pie at South st. Paul would allow their
packing houses to close up, and Shu-
feldt said he held a lease on them I'M
til the LIST of January, 1898, and that
he was advised by his lawyers that he
could hold possession and prevent them
from running, and that he would de-
stroy the market at South st. Paul.

COUNCILS SERIAL STORY.
Another Chapter on Street Railway
LegisIatiOn Due Tonight.

The board of aldermen will hold a
regular meeting tonight. The impor-
tant matters awaiting action are the
two street railway ordinances, one
changing the Selby avenue cable into
an electric line and the other directing
the street railway company to estab-
lish a union depot loop. Both of these
measures have been passed by the as
sembly, and both have received the
majority vote of the aldermanic COM
mittee on streets, though the ordinance
directing the change Of the cable line
has been amended by the aldermen so
as to limit the use of electricity as q
motive power to period Of fifty years
from 1885, Should the board pass the
ordinance tonight, it is quite probable
that the assembly will concur at its
adjourned meeting to be held next
Thursday night.
The chances for the union depot loop
ordinance are dubious. Involving, as
it does, the laying of new lines, the
measure requires a three-fourths vote
to carry it through, which means that
three votes out OF the eleven in the
board will be sufficient to kill the or
dinance At the meeting of the board
committee on streets last Thursday
Aldermen Kenny, Lindahl and Kali
dunski voted against the ordinance.
Kennys championship of the Broad
way loop partially explains his atti-
tude, but what reason actuates Kali
dunski to vote against the union depot
loop was not apparent, unless 1T is to
oblige Aid. Kenny.

also explained the manner Of the
boats sinking stern first, as was
claimed by each victim of the accident.
Detective Mckinley and Sergeant
Ryan testified to having looked up
Minehart's record and what had been
told them by the latter when he report
ed the accident. Amelia Ruprecht told
of seeing the party take Mrs. Richter
boat, and Stephen Finnerty tes-
titled having taken Minehart to the
home of his mother after the accident.
Minehart told him about the accident
and claimed as he did to the police,
that the boat was upset by striking
the pier.
The somber air Of the inquest was
momentarily dissipated when Memo
testified to having saved the key OF
beer by clinging to it after the boat
turned over When he was rescued
he allowed himself to be towed ashore,
still clinging to the beer key, whose
contents were afterward consumed at
the home of Thoemke.
After the inquest Christopher and
William Larson, brothers of the dead
man, declared that the truth had not
been brought out, insisting that their
brother had been injured before going
into the water, or he would not have
been drowned. William Larson said
the dead man had swan the river
with him, on his back, and that it was
ridiculous to suppose that he would
drown where the Smith woman was
saved He claimed there were marks
on the dead mans head in the nature
of a bruise, but Coroner Nelson denies
this assertion. Neither of the broth
ers is able to give any reason why The
death of Larson should have been at
tempted, but insist that because he
was known to have been an expert
swimmer his death was not the result
of accident. Immediately following the
inquest, Ryan, Memo and Mrs. Smith
were released from custody.

the end of the last campaign. There
were quite a large number of Rapubll-
cans present-also Hon. Timothy Rear
don. Gates A. Johnson presided and
listened with much satisfaction to the
informal speeches of Lawyer Berryhill
and Judge Blackwell the last named
having come all the way in from the
Eleventh ward, in which their hearers
were admonished that the most effec-
tive way to get votes was to get the
right men registered. The action of
Clerk Ed Rogers in agreeing to fur
nish naturalization papers free to those
without the necessary funds was dis
cussed, and that official lauded.
After listening to a dissertation on
how the thing had been best done in
the past, it was agreed that some plan
of action be laid out, and followed
faithfully by the members. President
Johnson, with Messrs. Berryhill and

OBJECTS TO HOLMES.
Merriam Parks Militia Captains
Case IssHung Up.

Col. J. C. Shandrew, of the Third
regiment infantry, has filed a protest
with the governor against the issuance
Of a commission ito George Holmes,
the fourth sergeant of Company E, at
Merriam Park. who was recently chos
en- as captain Of the company. Col.
Shandrew's protest is based on the
charge that Holmes failed to pass the
examination with1credit, in fact 1t is
alleged, falling far below a qualifying
proficiency.
There have beenesome objections, too,
to Holmes commission, on account of
his age, he being but about twenty
years of age, but this is of no avail, as
the law makes men liable to military
duty betweensthe ages of eighteen and
forty-five, and it bis held by all that
the privilege of holding Office in a
company cannot be circumscribed by
any narrower limits.
