MERIDIAN-STREET HUMPS"
Combination of Drought and Rain on
the Blocks.

Bicyclists and drivers of vehicles who
came down North Meridian street yester-
day morning We're puzzled at the unusual
appearance of the roadway. Every few
blocks there was a large mound-shape
hump in the block pavement. Wheelmen
took ROLLER coast" over them, but the
drivers of carriages carefully avoided the
obstruction. The two largest of these
humps were at Fifth street and at St.
Clair. The city did not send a force out
to investigates till late in the afternoon
and all day long there was varied specula-
ton and surmise as to the cause of the
eruptions Natural-gas explosion was a
favorite theory, ard some of the neighbour
ing property owners grew a tritie alarmed.
A few disappointed Republicans insisted
that even the very blocks were protesting
against the way Tasgart had been Endorsed
the day before.
About o'clock in the afternoon Presi-
dent Downing, of the Board of Works,
drove up to st. Clair street and watched a
gang of men tear up the blocks. He said
the only explanation he could offer was
that the long-continued drought and the
recent rain had formed a combination to
swell the blocks in spots, and the curb
stones being obdurate the blocks had to
hump themselves. He said the contractors
would have to make the necessary repairs

Augusta COrdes Says WiIborn Wilson
Obtained Her Signature by Eramd.


Obtained Her Signature by Fraud.
Augusta Cordes yesterday brought suit
in the Superior Court against Louisa and
John Treeters to enforce the payment of a
note and foreclose mortgage. In the COM
plant the plaintiff makes some rather sem
sational charges against Wilborn Wilson,
who is made party defendant to the suit.
1t is averred that in 1898 Louisa and John
Treeters executed their note to the plaintiff
for $1,000, giving a mortgage on property
owned by them. There is a balance of 5000
due on the note according to the COM
plant. The plaintiff AYERS that in May, 1896,
she engaged the defendant Wilson to bring
a suit for divorce against her husband, Her
man Cordes. While the complaint was be-
ing prepared she was in consultation with
Wilson and mentioned to him the indebted
ness of Louisa and John Treeters and told
him of the mortgage. She also mentioned
the fact that the notes were held by her
husband She AYERS that Wilson took her
to the courthouse and informed her it would
be necessary for her to sign certain court
from collecting the notes. She says she
signed the records as requested and after
ward found she had assigned the mortgage
and notes to Wilson. She declares the de-
PENDANT took advantage of her inability TO
read the English language thoroughly. She
AYERS her signature was procured by fraud
and she asks that the pretended assignment
of the mortgage to Wilson be Cancelled and
that she be given judgment against Louisa
and John TreeterS for $780, Mrs. Cordes is
the ex-wife of Herman Cordes. a we'll
known German citizen of the county. Re-
Gently she signed an ante-nuptial contract
with her husband and they are to be mar
ried again.

John Henry, colored man who lives at
941 Rhode Island street, went into Sectors
barrel house. opposite the courthouse, yes
terday, and stole two beer glasses. He put
them under his coat and ran when he saw
that he was discovered. He dashed out the
back door, followed by the bartender, who
shouted so loudly as to arouse Messrs. Tom
linson and Grubb, members of the police
force, who drive the patrol wagon. They
were at the stable in Pearl street and
saw Henry running. The stolen glasses
were of the original Chicago bowl vari-
ety. and so heavy as to handicap the thief
considerably. He was overhauled in front
of the Jail, and arrested. He had a razor
and a dangerous looking knife and was
charged with carrying concealed weapons,
well as with petty larceny.

The old trouble over the rates made by
the 500 to the Atlantic coast broke out
again yesterday and the Milwaukee & st.
Paul made sweeping reductions in it's east
bound passenger rates from Minneapolis
and st. Paul to New York via Chicago, in
connection with east-bound steamship bus
mess. The tariff rate for this class of the
business is $3.50 and the Milwaukee & st.
Paul reduced this rate by $1,000, making the
rate an even ST.. 1t announced as its reason
for making the reduction that the 500 line
was carrying the business at rates between
$l7 and $40. and that It was Impossible Tor
it to secure any of the business without
coming down on it's rates, In. making the
reduction il declared that il would con-
tinue to meet any further reduction that
might be made by the 500 line. All of the
other Chicago roads that are interested in
the traffic between Chicago and ST. raul
and Minneapolis, will, without question
make the same rates as those that nave
