NEEDED THEIR CLUBS.
West Side Officers Have Trouble
Making an Arrest.

Sergeant Ryan and Officer Hoffman, of the
DucaS street station, had a lively experience
with two prisoners at the corner OF Fairfield
avenue and South Wabasha, street, shortly
after O'Clock yesterday, morning when
four-cornered fight was preeipitated by. an
attempt TO arrest Jerry Mccarthy and Henry
Burg, a saloOnkeeper attic South Wabasha
street. The trouble started near Burgs place
of business. officer Hoffman, it is said by the
police, ordered Mccarthy to GO home, wnen
the latter objected and assaulted the police
man. The two were engaged in a fierce strug
gle when Sergeant Ryan appeared upon the
scene and attempted to separate the men.
When he stopped over the struggling figures
Sergeant Ryan claims he received two vicious
blows on the head. He turned and struck
Burg, knocking him into the street. When
the two men were finally landed at the Ducas
street station, Mccarthy had two cuts on his
head, inflicted by Officer Hoffmans club, but
DR.. Brimha.l. who dressed the wounds, stated
they were Of a slight nature. Burg showed
little or no marks Of the conflict, and did
not require the services of the physician.
Burg was charged with drunkenness and re-
sisting an officer, while Mccarthy was charged
with drunkenness and disOrderly conduct
They were released on bail, but failed to
appear in the municipal court when their
cases were called yesterday and hearing
was set for Thursday, the bail money being
allowed to stand.

to add duty Of 80 per cent these bulbs.
1t Is the consumer who will suffer. You
Americans will have to pay the duty, for
your retailers will add 80 per cent onto the
price to pay the duty of import. 1 do not
believe that over per cent Of the wholesale
seed houses of the United States are in favor
Of the duty. I know of but six concerns, and
they in the East. They have control of
the Eastern market and want to kill the
weaker concerns through the imposition Of
this duty.
THE great body of American florists are
against the bill, for it will raise prices out

he says are unparalleled in the world
ut is a great mystery to that the Eu-
rOpean countries do not accept more of the
valuable lessons you teach them in railroad

new cars and making improvements, but
they do not Americanize their roads, unfor-

branch lines trains have been stalled as
effectuaIly as if the huge snow block

Advices were received at both the
Northern Pacific and the Great North

constant communication with General
Superintendent Kimberly, who is in the
Northwest Mr.. Fee received informa-
ton at 4 o'clock that the Missouri river
had fallen six inches in the proceeding
four hours. 1t was Immediately de-
cided that overland train No. l. leaving
St Paul at Z O'Clock last evening,
would have no trouble in getting
through, and passengers were notified
to that effect The fail Of the Mis-
souri, to the extent of eighteen inches
would allow several lines in the North
west to resume full operations. The
principal trouble on the line of the
Northern Pacific is at Mandan and
Fargo, especially the latter city. West
of Mandan the Missouri has inundated
a large tract of land, and buried miles
of track
The Great Northern also reported Sc
riOus trouble at Fargo. The Great
Northern tracks, however, are still sew
Ell al feet above water. Last summer
the road constructed a new steel draw
bridge at a considerable altitude above
any possible water mark. The off,
Gals believe that unless the bridges
further up the stream should GO out,
that there will be no trouble.
The officials of the Great Northern
were notified early in the day that the

ed, and the city pumps stopped, leav-

nearly as bad off as Fargo. Chief Jack
son detached Engine No. and hose
company No. with two or three thou
SAND feet of hose to Fargo. The train
was sent up at it's greatest speed.
The main line of the Great Northern
is all right, generally speaking, and it
was believed last night that there
would be no serious trouble today.
Water was said to be very high on
the Huron, YanktOn and Aberdeen
branches.
The Chicago-St. Paul lines were not
seriously affected by high water. The
Burlington tracks are three feet above
the present stage of water at Lake
Pepin, and the Milwaukee is also re
ported as being high and dry. Both
these lines follow the Mississippi for
many miles down the river.

GUARDED BY PATROINfEN.
West Side Residents Object to a Ger
tain Room

Specially detailed police officers guarded the
property Of the st. Paul barrel factory at
Fairfield avenue and HYDE street, last night
to prevent possible damage at the hands of
the residents of the vicinity who claim that
boom constructed by the company is back
ing water in upon their homes. The threat
ened houses and the barrel factory were pro-
teCted by the Vest side levee but a quantity
Of water several feet deep has either seeped
through the embankment or found a path to
the iowlands further up the river flooding
the south side of the leyee. In the yard of
the barrel factory are several thousand dol
lars worth of slaves and partly dressed ma
terial, which the water threatened to sweep
away. To prevent this a temporary boom
has been constructed about the plant which
the jewellers in the neighborhood claim may
be saving the property of the company, but
IS responsible for the back water rising about
their homes. No violent threats were made
against the boom, but from the demeanor of
the residents two policemen were detailed to
patrol the district last night and see that it
was not torn away. 1t is said that the boom
has no effect upon the water whatever, but
those condemning it cannot be brought to see
the matter in this light

REPAIRING THE LEVEE.
City Engineer RundEett Thinks II
VIII Not Cost Much

]. T. Mcmillan, proprietor of the packing
plant on the upper levee, called on the city
engineer yesterday and requested that some
thing be done by the engineers force to re-
pair the break in the levee near James street
Mr.. Mcmillan said he employed some forty
men at his plant, and that unless the break
in the levee was repaired the water would
sweep away his buildings.
City Engineer Rundett informed the packer
that attention would be given the matter to-
day, but at the present stage of water he
did not see how the repairing of the levee
would be of any great benefit. The water
running over the levee at various points
and the repairing of the break, if it could
possibly be accomplished, would not prevent
the water from flowing in over the top of the
bank.
The levee was built in 1887 from Chestnut
to James streets at a cost of $40, 600 the ex-
pense being assessed on the property owners
benefited. City Engineer Rundlett stated last
night that the damage to the levee in the past
two weeks was not serious, and if the water
subsidized now the repairs needed could be
made at cost not to exceed $500.

quiet day on the West side flats. Five
families were moved by the police,
three were living on Fillmore, and
two on Chicago avenue. About the only
incident that attracted attention was
the landing of a barge of cattle on State
street that had been brought up from
a river bottom farm that was under
water The captain of the steamer that
tOwed the barge, said that it was a
most decided novelty to run a steamer
along State street and thought it would
be many a year before he would have a
chance to repeat the experience.
The poorer people of the West side
leVee have been cared for, and among
the many families that required as
sistance there is not one but what has
received all the attention possible. One
or two more families were placed in
the HumbOlt school yesterday and
that building is now full 1t is not
crowded, however and many of the
people are faring great deal better
there than they ever did While living
in their own little shanties on the
flats
The only damage reported yesterday
was the topping over Of two or three
houses where the foundations had been
umndermined by the water.
This seems to be the only thing that
is to be feared now and many people
curing their homes to the surrounding
trees with large ropes or weighing
the floors with boat loads of stones
The commission house Of Deveraux
& Co., which stands at the foot
of jackson street on this side of the
river, was considered to be endanger-
ed yesterday by reason of the water
undermining it's foundations, and big
/ cables were located all through it and
+ fastened securely to piles driven deep
/ into the solid bank.
! The weak pier in the WabaSha street
bridge was pronounced o. K. yesterday
and no further damage is looked for in
that direction, but the boom that was
built for it's protection will be left Ill
position until after The water subsidies
for the club house Of the Minnesota
! Boat club, on Raspberry island. is not
/ yet considered to be out of danger
The principal cause for fear in regard
to the boat house comes from the fact
that it is not erected on piles. 1t is
simply built up on a common Wooder
/ foundation and it is thought that the
. water may undermine it.
Several members of the club visited
/ the house yesterday and transferred
/ the shells to a place Of safety.

Residents of the West side and up
per flats were in a very happy frame
of mind yesterday, and smiling faces
were everywhere in evidence The
reason was very apparent after visit
to the river gauge at the foot of Jack
son street. At midnight Monday night,
the gauge registered trifle more than
eighteen feet. At o'clock yesterday
morning it was just eighteen feet, and
then the water remained for more than
six hours, when it began to fall. 1t did
not go down rapidly or with a rush.
but began to recede slowly, and at 6
o'clock last night the gauge registered
a scant 17.9 feet. 1t was not much, but
still it was evident that the worst was
over. The people generally would have
been contented to have had the water
remain stationary, but they were over
jOyed when they learned that it had
begun to fall, for amongst the river
men some can recall a food when the
river attained it's previous high mark
after it had once started on the down
hill grade. In view Of these facts the
reports that come from the north, that
there are still oceans of water to come
down, are not so discOuraging, for it
is thought that by the time this water
reaches st. Paul, the present high water
will have receded to such an extent,
that there will be plenty of room for it
without the attendent distress that has
prevailed during he past few days
The river has not broken IT'S previous
high water record during the present
flood, but it has given the people a
great scare by its efforts in that di-
rectiOA, and has provided the "old
timer" with a stock of high water
stories that will not be exhausted in
many a day.
On the upper flats the situation re-
mains the same as it has been since
the breaking of the leVee Even after
the water goes down it will be weeks
before majority of the people can
move back into their homes, for much
of the back water will not fall with the
river and will have to go out as it
came in, by seeping through the banks.

QUESTION OF LIABILITY
involved In an Insurance Case Be-
fore Judge Kelly.

The suit of the Mannheim Insurance
company against the Erie and Western
Transportation company was on trial
Yesterday before Judge Kelly. The
plaintiff sues to recover the value of a
shipment Of flour amounting to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 which was de-
stroyed by fire in Milwaukee while in
the custody of the defendant company.
The question in dispute is as to the
extent of the defendants liability for
the loss of the shipment. The plaintiff
insists that the defendants liability
is not limited liability, but the COM
mon law liability governing common
carriers. The defendant company main
tains that the flour was shipped under
a special contract, and under conditions
limiting its liability
