The Evening Address by SUI
san b. Anthony.

The second trial of the case Of the
state against George A. Durham, al
derman Of the Third ward, accused of
asking for a bride of $4,000 from Hal
VorsOn & Richards, through Mr.. 1Rch
ards, was begun yesterday afternoon
before Judge Elliott, with Michael
Adams Charles Budd, w. H. OXbor-
ough, Frank F. Gardner, William A.
Washburn, Edward Ransom, Peter
Kaiser. Charles P. Fabian, A. w. Arm
atage, f. A. Campbell, William B. Pat
terson and John Dehn as jurors in the
case.
The alderman stands indicted, upon
the evidence of both Halvorson and
Richards, that he told them that they
could secure the reservoir contract, for
foundation work, and also the boule-
ward work in conjunction, upon the
payment to the aldermen of 900. Ac-
ccrding to their story, the advances
were much the same as in the Drew
case, the claim being that there were
several aldermen who would have to
be fixed with money before the deal
could go through. The case was open
ed by County Attorney Peterson in
short talk, to the point, and, before
a witness was called, the defense made
the usual objections in these alder
manic cases. He objected to the jury
panel, to the special venire, to the ex-
cusing of certain jurors, and, after all
these objections were overruled, the
case went to trial with the introduce
ton of the records of the city council,
to show the acts in connection with
the letting of the contract and the adj
vertising for bids. The case will be
in full swing this morning.

ment Of a successor on the prison board to
]. F. Norrish, said
"I dislike the idea of discussing the matter
Of the appointment of a successor to Mr.. Nor
IRISH, SO soon after the latter's death, but will
say that when the appointment is made, B.
F. Nelson will undoubtedly be the man Sc
lected. Mr.. Norrish was Democrat, and Mr..
Nelson is a Democrat. However, shall not
be in any unseemly haste about filling the va
cancy."
Mr.. Nelson is the head Of the well-known
firm Of Nelson Tenney 6 Co. He is also en-
gagged in the paper business. He has always
been known as a Democrat, and it was not so
many years ago that the local Democrats hon.
ored him with the craftsmanship Of one of
the campaign committees. Last year he an
nounced himself as a gold Democrat because
Of the adoption Of the Chicago platform.

WORKING on HIS MESSAGE.
Mckinley Giving But Little Time to
AppOintments

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Fairbanks, of Indiana, and Senator
Elkins, of West Virginia, saw the
president today upon matters pertain
ing principally to appointments in their
states, but also discussed with Mr.. Nc
Kinley the probable policy of the COM
ing session OF congress. Both Senators
Elkins and Fairbanks agree with the
president in the matter of pacific
measures regarding Cuba and Spain.
President Mckinley is quite anxious to
know what prospects there are for cur
rency legislation and asks different
senators who call for their opinion.
Senator Harris, Of Kansas, who took
prominent part In the last session of
congress against the arrangements for
the sale of the Union Pacific road, call
ed on the president regarding the sale
of the Kansas Pacific railroad. He
said he believed the Kansas Pacific, like
the Union Pacific, would bring the full
amount of the government claim and
though as to the Central Pacific there
might be some difficulty, yet he In
clined to the opinion that the govern
ment would get it's debt on this &C
count also paid in full.
While pressure is still being brought
to bear on the president for appoint
ments he is giving little time to such
matters and prefers to work on his
message. 1t is probable that the presi-
dent will make no recommendation in
his message upon the subject of general
arbitration. The fact that he made his
views clear on that subject in his in
augural address, and that no arbitra-
ton treaty will be pending when the
annual message is sent in, makes it
unnecessary to say anything further on
the matter at this time.

WILLIAMS AT WASHINGTON.
Said to Have Made an Impression on
Mckinley.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. 15-Nel-
son Williams recent visit to Washing
ton has set the gossps by the ears. 1t
is known that he secured an interview
with the president and in securing the
chief executives ear he took precedence
over United States senators and other
big officials. 1t is generally believed
that the would-be postmaster at Min
neapolis had a letter from Secretary
of State Sherman, which secured him
such ready entree. 1t is also rumored
that Mr. Williams made very favor
able impression upon Mr.. Mckinley
and unless some very strong congress
sional opposition develops he undoubt-
eddy will come near landing the post
office plum.

Reward for Jurv Bribine.

Placards are to be prepared, announcing
that the county of Hennepin will pay $500
as a reward to any person furnishing in
in the line of jury bribing. The county au-
thorities have had information Of late, which
leads them to believe not only that there
that some of the jurors themselves have been
attempting to make use of their position for
the purpose Of securing money. Not long ago
a juror in a case on trial went to one Of the
attorneys in an action and wanted to Dor
row 5000. Nothing was said to his action
in the case, but it was apparent an effort
to make capital out of his position as a
offer a reward, so that neither juror. or
any one connected with case, will dare to
make an approach to anything like bribery.

CYCLE PATH TO MINNETONKA,
A Survey Is to BE Made Thil
Fall.

A survey is to BE Made This
Fall.
The Cycle Path association will have the
survey made at once for the new cycle path
to Minnetonka. A resolution passed by the
board of county commissioners appropriates
500 to aid in the work. The matter was
brought before the commission by a petition
which set forth the needs of the association
and it was backed up verbally by Wadsworth
and WadswOrth, both in a legal and individual
character. They stated that it was absolutely
necessary that the people of Minneapolis have
a cycle path to the lake, and that it be a
good one. The association had been inVesti-
eating the proper routes for some time, and
had finally made up its mind what was the
north route had been thought favorably Of
but the fact that there were so many saloons
on the way made 1t unfavOrable, because it
to be a route that could be used by both
sexes, and these saloons might tend to make
it uncomfortable for women in their trips to
the lake a-Wheel.
The route finally selected was the Lake
street boulevard, which runs out by Lake
Calhoun, and then by way of Hopkins and
Minnetonka Mills, to Hotel st. Louis and
Excelsior. BY this route there would be a
connection with three roads, one to Excelsior,
one to Hotel st. Louis and the other to Way
Zata. In a short time the association hoped
to have the three spurs from the main
track completed. County Surveyor Abbott had
agreed to lend his services free, etc., and if
the commission would stand that expense the
work could be done this fall. AS soon as the
grading promised by the county was done,
the association, without further cost to the
county would have the track completed with
in a month from that time.
The board saw the advisability of the survey,
and voted the money, SO that the survey can
be made at once.

Saturday on complaint Of William Johnson.
The two men had been out the night before
and about IL o'clock Johnson left $40 with a
bar keeper in a down town saloon and said
that he would call for it the next day. La

The next morning when the day bar keeper
was on duty, La Due is alleged to have called
and said that he wanted his money, repre-
senting himself as William Johnson. The day

sacrificing spirit and these the women who
are working for equal suffrage have ever
shown.
In her reply Mrs. Gait Chapman referred to
the cordial welcome as not coming as sur
prise to the present and and younger work
ers, because they have everywhere received
the friendiest advances from statesmen,
scholars and professional men, but she was
grateful in the name of the early workers,
who battled for the cause when it was, re-
ceived without show interest, when there
was none to speak well for it.

CHARTER MEETING.
Much of the Time Devoted to Minor
Business.

The municipal charter commission held a
long and interesting session last evening, in
the rooms Of the park commissioners at the
court house. Minor business was the first
order, under which head it was decided to
employ the services of Gus Wing official
stenographer, under a stated compensation,
for future meetings of the commission. The
statement was made that under the present
rate of progress the commission would not
be ready to report a charter to the city by
Jan. 1, 1885, as required, and upon motion
of Commissioner Atwater, it was voted to hold
three meetings per week, Mondays, Thurs
days and Saturdays, until the work should
be completed For the sake of further ex-
pediting business, it was suggested that men,
bers be limited in their addresses, and it was
voted that no member be permitted to speak
longer than three minutes at any one time
on any proposition. From the length of some
of the speeches of the evening, it would ap-
pear that this rule was not intended to be
enforced unless to call down a speaker on an
unpopular issue.
The questions which had been made the
special order of the evening were the water
and police departments and a number of
profitable discussions were ELECTED.
