CARRIAGE BILL HELD UP.
Fines Against the Contractor Cause
the Trouble.


The payment Of the bill for removing
the garbage during January came up
before the committee on claims of the
board of aldermen yesterday. The bill
was referred to the committee to as
certain if the amount of $251, recon-
mended by the health commissioner
should be deducted as fine. J. G. Ber-
ryville appeared as attorney for Field
ing & Shepley the contractors, and
informed the committee that all the
fines legally to be deducted were for
failures in January, 1897. These only
amounted to $23, and there should be no
more than that sum deducted from the
bill. The city, he said, had waived
the right to deduct for failures pre-
viOus to Jan. by paying all the month
ly bills up to that date. The contract
Ors were now working under a resOlu-
ton of the council until the new con
tract had been advertised for and let.
DR.. Stone had been called to Mime
apolis on business, but he sent in a
report from Inspector Lott, showing
1,054 failures. Mr.. Sinks, a deputy
in the office, informed the committee
that this number of failures did not
cover only January, but went back into
the last month Of 1896. All of them
had, however, been Investigated and
found to be warranted.
Mr.. BerryhilI admitted that the in
spector who had been employed since
Jan. Is, might have done his duty, but
the health officer under the ordinance
must report at the first of each month
the complaints. Aid. Lindah1 ques-
toned whether the city was legally
liable under the contract after Dec.
81, 1896. Assistant City Attorney Phil
lips being called on said the city could
not legally enforce the contract, and
neither could the contractor, after it
had expired. There was a difference
however, between a legal claim and the
right of the city to pay just de-
mand. The council was not bound by
the terms of the contract, which had
expired, to the number of written COM
plants of failures received by the
health department, but all those we'll
founded and reported by the inspector
in January could be deducted by the
council The contractor and his bills
were in the hands of the council and
it was left to them to decide how much
should be deducted for. fines. The
health officers stated that the number
of failures to collect garbage in Jan
uary could be obtained, and the COM
mittee adjourned to Tuesday after
noon at 4 o'clock, when the matter
will be disposed of.
The claim of the Acme VaDor Stove
company for $279, which, it was held
was due them for interest on accounts
due when they had the gasoline light
ing contract in 1894, was considered.
The comptroller reported that only
S9328 was due the company on this
score, and the committee recommended
the payment Of this amount,

That is the way Mayor Doran's
scratch pad looked yesterday. It will
be seen that the mayor has made up
his mind about some of the appoint
ments he is due to make any day now,
while, on the other hand, there are a
few places yet to so after Any man who
thinks he can show more StrengXth on
paper, or otherwise, than the candi-
dates under consideration for the
places not yet filled, may yet catch the
eye Of the appointing power. Still the
mayor may end the trouble in a hurry.
He said yesterday that he had notion
to throw all the applications and petit
items in the waste basket and make
the remaining selections from the di-
rectory.
So far as the park board appoint
ments are concerned. the mayor has
practically determined to reappOint Mr..
Wheelock and Mr.. Hamm. Neither
gentleman is anxious for reappoint-
ment and, it is understood, Mr.. Vince
lock has asked to have somebody else
named in his place. Mayor Doran,
however, thinks that Mr.. WheelOck
has made a useful, careful and valu-
able member of the board and will,
therefore, unless a vigorous protest
comes in from the gentleman him
self, reappOint him. The mayor thinks
if MI WheeIOci1 should chance to leave
St Paul for a time, it will then be
time enough for the city to lose his
services as a member of the park
board. Mr.. Hamm's services are also
to be recognized by a reappointment.
On the school board the mayor has
come to the conclusion that he will
offer one of the places to c. F. Mailer

FOOLS COMPETE FOR PRIZES.
Merry Making at the Fools Session
of the MusiI1verein.


There was a competitive exhibition
or natural born, up-tO-date, class A
fools, as Roland Reed would put it,
at the MusikVerein at the rooms of the
Irish-American club in the Endicott
building last evening. The occasion
was the annual Fools Session of the
German organization known as the
Musikverein. 1t is a function which is
celebrated just before lent each year
and is made a time of great merry
making. The custom was imported
from Germany, where it has been in
vogue for centuries It was an evOlu
ton Of a custom native to both the
Fatherland and Italy. Just previous to
holding a bal masque, the participants
would gather at some pre- arranged spot
and talk over the arrangements for
the ball. The meeting was turned in
itself into a time Of merry making
and was eagerly looked forward to.
From that it evolved into an annual
session Of merry making and unstinted
hilartiy.
There were some two hundred merry
makers present at last evenings fes-
tivities. The fun was fast and furious.
The object of the session was to win a
prize for absolute asSininity, and there
were so many thirty-third degree cam
didates present that it was difficult
matter to decide. Each spectator and

cap, attached to which were toy
balloons, which bobbed and doged at
the end of short threads, as the owners
Of the heads moved about. The result
was very bewildering. 1t reminded one
of a lot of red water lilies floating
on sea Of cigar smoke. The balloons,
however, were not the only vacums
supposed to be filled with gaseous sub
stance, for no one present was expected
to"own an exclusive franchise on brain
tissue. The idea of the balloons was
to assist the effort to make heads light
People entering the room were COM
PEELED to check their ideas and leave

consisted of a series of burlesques,

after securing the consent of Judge Twohy
to such course Of action. The stand taken
by Mr.. Darragh that a constable has not the
authority to serve a warrant issued from
the municipal court is questioned by a num-
Ter of attorneys. John E. Hearn is Hagen
legal adviser, and, as such, appeared before
Judge Twohy to inquire into the legality of
making state case against Michaels. When
the court had decided that this could be
done, Mr.. Hearn accompanied his client to
