street is contemplated. This additional
space is to be utilized for a big gen.
eral waiting room
The depot will, of necessity, take on
new front, very handsome design
for which has been submitted. 1t Is to
be Of brick and stone, and will be
broken at the top by several peaks or
turrets.
There will be but one entrance from
Slbley street, and inasmuch as the
present entrance is at the foot of a
rather steep incline, it will be found
necessary either to make several ele-
vations on the depot floor or build an
inclined way from the entrance down
to the present floor level. With a forty
foot extension there are still left some
thing like twenty feet from the en-
trance to the building to the street.
This will be used for a carriage way
1t is not known whether the engineers
have included it in their report or not.
but the advisability of casing the pres
ent shed by. fifteen or twenty feet has
been discussed, and this will doubtless
be done when any material improve
ments are set on foot. With this ele-
walton will come also some much need
ed changes In the present imperfect
system of ventilation.
1t is variously estimated by the diff
ferent engineers that new steel and
stone structure, such as would bef1t a
city of the size and Importance of st.
Paul, would cost $225, 900 to $3.50, 900. 1t Is
expected there will be meeting Of the
Union Depot company at an early
date, when the matter will be taken UP.
1t looks now like a new depot, rather
than such improvements as at most
would only help out the situation for
two or three years.

GOES TO THE GAMEWELL.
Contract for RemodeIing the Fire
Alarm system.

Contract for Remodeling the Fire
Alarm System.
The board of fire commissioners, at
a special meeting held last evening,
awarded the contract for new fire
alarm system to the GameWell Fire
Alarm and Telegraph company Of New
York, the price being $9,940.25.
This is what is known as the Manual
system, with storage batteries, and the
contract calls for a complete central
office, with thirty circuits, a system
which can be added to- Indefinitely as
it's capacity Is practically unlimited.
The same system is now in operation
in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Boston,
st. Louis, Milwaukee and other large
cities. -
When the bids were opened by the
beard, about a week ago, two pro-
posals were received, the above and
one from the United States Fire Alarm
company, the latter being a trif1e the
cheaper. The board appointed a COM
mittee, consisting of City Electrician
Varnum and Superintendent of Fire
Alarm Cary, to visit other cities and
examine into the respective merits Of
the systems. The committee visited
Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit and Au-
rora, returning Wednesday, and sub
mitted the report at a full meeting of
the board, in executive session, last
evening. The committee made no
recommendations. but after listening to
the result of their observations, the
board awarded the contract to the
GameWel company by unanimous
vote.
F. c. Slower, representing the Game
we'll company, was in attendance, and
agreed to have the new system in op-
GRAFTON within ninety days after the
council approved the contract
The Gamewell company put in the
present system fourteen years ago.
Chief Jackson reports that it has given
excellent satisfaction, but that the city
has outgrown it. There are now 176
boxes, and ten more will be added i'm
mediately after the new central office
is put in.
The present system is what is called
automatic operated by gravity bat
teries, and having only six circuits.
The new one will have double the
number of circuits and use storage
batteries, from which, Mr.. Stover
claims, there will result a saving suffi-
cient to pay for the system in three
years.

RAMSEY COUNTY CHARGES.
KnOtty Points as to Their Care Are
Settled.

State Agent Gates, for the board Of
corrections and charities, yesterday
decided the first batch Of pauper cases
referred to him from Ramsey county.
Three families were reported by the
board of control. Mr.. Gates decided
that John Lupacke and his family
could be deported to Germany, if the
county will pay the expense. The
family carne TO st. Paul from Ham
burg, in July, 1896, and have had coun-
ty aid most of=the time.
1t was decided that the family Of
Joseph Lepschi and Gottlieb Rau
could not be 7deported Lepschi and
his family lived in st. Paul for many
years prior to 1894, when they went to
Los Angeles, Cal. Out there Lepschi
was sent to the insane asylum and
they were public charges before they
established a local residence.
Gotlieb Rau came to st. Paul from
North Dakota nearly two years ago,
so he will have to be retained.
The Sherburne county authorities
have decided to send Ole Halvorsen
Hoser back to New York, from
whence the commissioner of immigra-
ton will send him back to Norway.
1t appears that he landed in New
York April 1 last, and was practically,
penniless. Later he was hurt by fall
ing from train on which he was
stealing ride, and has been a help
less cripple since.

FULLERTON IS TICKLED.
Result of the Lacy Case Pleases the
Warden.

Executive Agent Fullerton, of the
state game and fish commission. who
returned yesterday from a weeks trip
in the northern part Of the state, is
highly elated over the turning down
of the Lacy habeas corpus case by the
supreme court yesterday.
He was convicted in a justice court
of Becker county, of having in his
possession two prairie chickens, con-
trary to the state game law. He was
sentenced to pay a fine of $40 r serve
twenty days in jail. He secured his
release by the court commissioner on
a writ of habeas corpus. The sheriff
appealed to the supreme court, which
reverses the commissioner and holds
that the court of habeas corpus deals
only with defects of a jurisdictional
character. The question of the right
to handle game killed on an Indian
reservation can be determined only by
direct appeal This will be deter
mined by other cases to come before
the supreme court later. Lacy, IN the
meantime, must pay his fine or go to
Jail.

sAUK CENTER TROUBLE.
Mayor TOwnsend's impeachment Is
in Supreme Court.

The serious jar which is keeping a
number of Sauk Center city officials
at swords points was argued before
the supreme court yesterday on the
motion of the counsel for Mayor
Townsend for an order making perma-
nent the order restraining the council
from proceeding further with the i'm
peachment of the mayor. The trouble
started when the mayor vetoed an ap-
preparation made by the council for
the purchase Of land. 1t is intimated
that the real animus Of the fight is to
oust the lighting company and put the
city in possession Of that department
of public service.

ing their home with Dumas, who
afterwards adopted Mary Subse-
quently Mrs. c. Wright, of Chicago. a.

The joint committee on garbage
from the council met yesterday after
noon and approved the specifications
submitted by the subcommittee which
were published in the G l @ several
days ago. On the suggestion of
Health Commissioner Stone the speci-
fications will provide for the forfeiture
of the contract after fifty verified COM
plants have been made against the
contractor. The specifications will
call for bids for each of the eleven
districts into which the city will be

this method the collection Of the
garbage will be better and more
cheaply done than under one con-
tract.

polls. Is it right ? Who will defend
It twenty years hencer But if we read
Alright, the New Constitution, that
glorious instrument of political free
dom, steps in and says to Every Even
ing" you are advocating laWlessness
and it cannot be done, even for your
partisan purposes by General Assem-
bly, whose right to its organization is
seriously questioned. The New Con-
stitution section 16 of the Schedule
says:
UNLESS otherwise provi ded by this amen
ded Constitution or Schedule, the terms Of
person holding public Offices to which they
have been elected or appointed at the time
this amended Constitution and Schedul e
shall take effect, shall not be vacated or
otherwise affected thereby"
Long live the New Constitution to
uphold the right and to deter wrong
doers. The every Evening" if 1T
ever had any shame should throw its
face to the earth and cry, "Remorse !
I'm caught Remorse !"
There is one other question: Has
the change in the Levy Court system Of
New Castle county been an improve
ment The assertion Of T" Every
Evening" is valueless, but If uncon-
tradicted it will be accepted BY the
less thoughtless part of the people. If
it is not true the "Morning News"
should show to the contrary. The
''Morning News" is "the only Repub-
lican morning daily in the State," and
Republicans have right, it seems to
rs, to look to 1t to defend Republican
principles. Tie question of the sub
sequent economic result Of the peliti-
cal steal Of the Levy Court in New
Castle county is at issue. How has 1t
operated ? We have understood all
the time that it has been no improve
ment on the old. Is that right ? Win
the "Morning News" inform US ? This
is an important question, further re-
forms in the interest Of the tax payer
depending upon it. What are the
facts ? We want only truth.
And now word with the Republi-
can friends, thinkers in the party who
have read thus far Is the TRANSCRIPT
correct in its opinion, on which it
bases its editorials that false political
statements like the above by every
