SPOT Has A HISTORY
PROPERTY ON PARK PLACE
OWNED BY THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.
ACQUIRED WAY BACK IN 80,
WHEN j. L. BRECI<, FIRST MINNIE
sofa MISSIONARY OF THAT
CHURCH, CAME HERE.
FASTENED A BELL IN A TREE,
And It's Clear Notes, Bishop Whip
pie Says, Called the People
to Worship.

The quarterly meeting of the Mime
sofa Church Foundation was held yes
terday afternoon to inspect the proper
ty belonging to that association, on
Park place. This property was acquir-
ed forty-siX years ago by Rev. James
Lloyd Brock, the first Episcopal mis-
sionary that came to Minnesota, and is
now held by the above corporation for
the purpose of supplying the Episcopal
bishops. The members of the govern
ing board are Bishop Whipple, of Fari-
bault; Bishop Gilbert, Of st. Paul;
Judge Wilder, Of Red Wing, and Har-
vey officer, E. w. Peet, George c.
Squires and William Dawson, of St.
Paul. The board at it's inspection yes
terday found everything very salts
factory and expressed themselves as
we'll pleased at the care taken of the
premises.
Bishop Whipple, who came up to at
tend the meeting, was seen at the Mer-
chants by G o b e reporter, and re-
marked in musing way:
There is quite an interesting bit Of
history connected with that property,
WHICH occupies d large pOIClOu VI DIX
place. Mr.. Breck, the first Episcopal
missionary in Minnesota, came here in
1850, and held his services where the
buildings now stand. He had no church
edifice but fastened a bell in a tree
and it's clear notes called the people
to worship, the services being held I'M
der the shady branches of the trees.
Mr.. Brock was a devout and hardWork-
ing man; the first year he was here he
travelled fully 5000 miles to visit diff
ferent points, and he was known to
travel $50 miles to christen a child"
Bishop Whipple has just returned
from a visit to Breck school (named
after the missionary, at Wilder. This
school is now in it's eighth year and
has about 100 pupils, farmers sons and
daughters, who are taught academic
and commercial courses. The bishop
reports that it is in excellent condition
and is we'll managed.

HAS NOT HEARD YET.
Rev. III. III. Hart Denies the Chicago
Offer Story.

StOFys
Rev. H. H. Hart, the secretary Of
the state board of corrections and
charities, yesterday exposed the fake"
which a local paper recently published
regarding his having been invited to
take charge of a great philanthropic
work in Chicago at a lucrative salary.
Said Mr. Hart yesterday:
For the past year and a half the repre-
sentatives of the Children's Home society
and the Children's Aid society of Chicago
have been saying that they expected to
make me an irresistible proposition to come
to Chicago and organize the child-saving
work of that city; but up to this date the
proposition has not come to hand, and think
that it is doubtful whether it will. / am
thoroughly contented with my present work,
which is entirely congenial. l have always
been treated most generously by the state
board of corrections and charities and so far
as l know my work is satisfactory to them.
1t would need a most attractive opening to
induce me to leave the state of Minnesota.
The work of child-saving in Chicago is
practically unorganized The Children's Home
society and the Children's Aid society to-
gether raised last year probably not more
than $1,000, and found homes for probably
not more than $50 Chicago children. The
Children's Aid society of the city of New
York expended last year $372, COO, and sent TO
homes and employment 2,256 children In
the city of Chicago there was expended last
year in the maintenancesof orphan asylums
newsboys' homes and other chtld-saYins agen-
cies probably less than 100000, while there
was expended in the city of New York for the
same purposes more than $2,5OO,OOO Chicago
lets her dependent children grow up to fill
the almshouses, warehouses and prisons. New
York Boston, Cincinnati, st. Paul and Min
neapolis care for such children and bring
them up as respectable citizens.
Some of the Chicago people recognize that
their city is in the rear OF the procession OF
this line of work and are anxious to remedy
the matter They are trying to get their
work organized on practical basis so that
1t will command the confidence and support
of the citizens; but whether they will sue
coed in doing so remains to be seen.

CLAIM MADE BY JAMES sTINsON
IN AN ACTION AGAINST THE
COUNTY
TO RECOVER A SNUG AMOUNT.
THE DEFENSE OF THE COUNTY
AUDITOR IS THAT THE ACTION
IS BARRED
BY THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION
General Roundup of the Work of
the District Court for
One Day.

James Stinson has brought an action
against County Auditor D. M. Sullivan
to compel the latter to refund $414.05
taxes on property belonging to the
plaintiff, on the ground that the plain
tiff had by mistake paid such taxes
twice. The facts which are stipulated
are these:
The plaintiff in 1877, and for many
years thereafter, was the owner of
certain property in Rice & Irvine's adj
dition to st. Paul, which property he
had mortgaged to William Wilson. At
a tax sale held Sept IT, 1878, for the
sale of delinquent taxes for the year
1877, the taxes upon the property in
question were bid in by the state, and
the certificate therefor was, on Jan.
II, 1879, duly assigned by the state to
Wilson, the mortgage, for 1920. On
Sept II, 1880, the plaintiff redeemd his
property from the tax sale and paid
into the county treasury the sum of
$414.05 in full thereof and on Sept
%, 1880, Wilson was notified Of such
redemption.
In the meantime Wilson had, in July
IA, 1879, secured a personal judgment
against Stinson upon such mortgage
debt in the sum of $15,629.01, which
amount included the taxes paid by
Wilson. On July IL, 1881, Stinson paid
to Wilson the entire amount Of the
latter's judgment.
No claim was ever made by Wilson
or Stinson for refundment Of said
redemption money until May l, 1897,
when Stinson demanded of County Au-
ditor Sullivan a refunding order for the
$414.05 paid by him to the county in
1880. The county auditor refused to
honor St1nson's demand upon the
ground that the demand for such order
and claim Of the plaintiff, Stinson, is
barred by the statute of limitations.
Stinson now claims to be the owner
Of such certificate by reason of the
payment of said judgment by him, but
that no notice or claim of such own
ership or assignment of said certifi-
cate was ever made or filed with the
county auditor until the making of the
demand for the refunding order on
May 1, 1897.
Stinson contends that upon this
showing he IS entitled to a refunding
order for the sum Of $414.O5, notwith-
standing, and that this claim is not
barred by the statute of limitations,
and that his failure to demand such
sum at an earlier day was due to his
recent discovery, In May, 1897, that
the mistake had been made.

Gil, minneapolis.

The meeting Of the trades and labor
assembly last evening was we'll at
tended, and business was rushed
through with railroad speed. The first
report Of importance was that of the
national trustees on the examination
Of the custodian's books, which were
found to be all right.
The iron holders union, Of Sheboy-
gan, Wis, asked the assembly to de-
clare as unfair the firm of Hazen,
Stone & Co., of that city, makers of
bath tubs. On motion the communica-
ton was referred to the grievance COM
mittee, with instructions to report at
the next meeting.
Secretary Collins, Of the organization
committee, submitted a report signed
by J. B. Wood, H. Giese, c. II. STRAIT
ton and J. H McNally, showing that
every union in the city, with the ex-
ception Of three, had been visited, and
that nearly S100 had been raised to de-
fray the expenses of holding series
of mass meetings; that the musicians
union would furnish music free and
would have every musician in the union
in line on the evening selected for the
first meeting. President Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor, no.
titled the committee that he heartily
approved of the proposition, and that
he should consider it his duty to be
present. He advised the assembly to
postpone the holding Of the same until
after the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, to be held at
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 10, and assured
the committee that whether he was re-
elected president Of that organization
or not, he would continue to take an
active part in the labor movement.
President Fox, of the International
Iron Molders' union, also signified his
intention to be present and heartily
favored the mass meeting idea. The
report of the committee was unani-
mously accepted, and they were in
structed to continue the agitation for
the mass meetings.
The executive board submitted it's
findings on the advisability of estab-
fishing legal bureau. After some dis
cussion action on the matter was laid
over until the next meeting.
E. B. Lott, Of the original text book
committee, called attention to the fact
that, by reason of removal from the
city or not being returned as delegate,
there should be new members appoint
ed. President McNally added Delegates
Thomas, Vernig, O'Toole, Murray and
King to the committee.
T. j. Conlon was elected a member
of the executive board, vice J. "A. Lau-
bach, resigned. John O'Toole was ap-
pointed fraternal delegate to the trade
