SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST THE ST.
PAUL SAVINGS AND LOAN AS
SOCIATION.
SOME SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
STOCKHOLDERS ALLEGE THAT A
PREFERENCE HAS BEEN
SHOWN IN SOME CASES.
1T WILL BE HEARD SATURDAY.
Argument as to the Necessity of Re-
sorting to Heroic Measures
in the Premises.

Some serious charges are preferred
against Charles E. Hamilton, presi-
dent; w. T. Kirke, secretary, and j.
M. Hawthorne, assignee, of the st.
In consequence of those charges, these
three gentlemen must, perforce, appear
before the district court next Saturday
forenoon and show cause why re-
ceiver should not be appointed for the
ST. Paul Savings and Loan association.
The charges are set forth, with min
ute particularly, in a complaint filed
in the district court yesterday. The
plaintiffs are G. w. Gilbert and John
Johnson, both stockholders in the de-
fendant company. On the strength of
the complaint, Judge Bum signed the
order to show cause.
In substance, the complaint is as fol-
lows:
1t first sets forth the organization of
the st. Paul Savings and Loan associa-
ton, which it thereafter designates as
the defendant company" under the
alleges:
That the authorized capital stock of
the defendant company is the sum of
IS. 100000 divisible into $4,000 shares of
500 each; that the articles of incor-
poration and bylaws of said defend
ant company provided that said stock
should be of divers and sundry kinds,

HAMLINITEs ARE HOPEFUL.
Looks as Though Luther Seminary
Was Cinched.

The energetic citizens of Hamine
have come now TO point where they
feel sure that their efforts to secure
the location of the Norwegian Luth-
| eran college for that suburb will be
crowned with success. At meeting
of the Citizens union, held last night
| in the engine house, the matter was
discussed, and the statement made
that the next step would be a confer
ence between a committee of the union
which was named by the president
and the officials of the college, looking
to the removal almost Immediately of
the college from Ropbinsdale to Ham
line even If several available buildings
now untenanted had to be used tenn
porarily until the college building can
be erected. Vice President j. b. Ross
man occupied the chair. When the
matter had been fully discussed 1t de-
veloped that the negotiations had gone
on swimmingly thus far, and that in
the spring the Lutheran college, which
was left without a building some time
ago by fire, would erect a substantial
new building on the west side of Smell
ing avenue, just south of the Great
Northern railroad tracks.
President Hill, of that company. as
told in the G o b e a few days ago,
some time back donated four acres Of
excellent ground for a site at the point
named and, as far as the present plan
has matured, it is the intention to
erect a modern building which will
cost in the neighborhood of from $780,
600 to $50 600.
The committee named to confer with
the president and officers of the faculty
regarding the details of this arrange
ment is made up Of Wilbur Coffin,
Prof George l. InniS, F. l.. Buck, j. b.
Rossman, w. T. Rich and Aid. Allard,
and a meeting will be had in a few
days. The Norwegian Lutheran col
lege is supported by not less than 700
churches of that denomination, and in
addition to adding to the fair name of
Bamline as an educational center, its
removal from Robbinsdale to Hamline
will bring to the latter place the corps
OF professors and teachers, with their
families, and not less than 100 students.
This addition to the poulation of the
place Is not undervalued by the resi-
dents Of Hamline, who hope, as stated
above, that in very short time the
negotiations will be formally closed
and the new institution brought to it's
new and beautiful site. Not later than
by the first of the year is it expected
that the several temporary buildings
mentioned will be filled with the stu
dents Of the big college.
The Hamline people are also agitat-
ing the matter Of securing better mail
service. They say that with but two
carriers the mail is at present sorted
at Merriam Park although there is a
branch office at Hamline, and that be-
ing taken to Merriam Park the Ham
line people are kept waiting for the
mail longer than is necessary. Messrs.
J. b. Rossman, Judge Blackwell and
II. A. SimonS were named committee
to wait upon Postmaster Smith to see
what can be done to cure the present
condition and improve the serv-
ice out there. The union went
on record as favoring such
provision in the new city char
ter as will allow the payment Of as
sessments for local city improvements

garded as visionary and impracticable.
Its proposed location-West Third
street, on the bluff overlooking the
railroad tracks-its style of archi-
lecture and its estimated cost-$125, 900
are all said by people who are sup
posed to know, to be SO incompatible
with the dictation of wisdom that
those who read the two-column de-
scription passed it up as impracticable
and let it go at that. Generally, the
project is regarded as futile if not i'm
possible. The space to be provided for
teams would, it is claimed, be ridicu-
lousy inadequate, the plan Of con-
struction of the building unsafe as a
substantial retaining wall would neces-
sarily be required, and last but not
least the estimated cost of $125,00O
would, like the original estimate of the
Auditorium, fall short by 60 or 70 per
cent The situation was sized up by
'~Gity Engineer Rundlett yesterday, as
follows:
It's ridiculous. The place is wholly
unsuited for that purpose. 1t is an
excellent location for some manufac
turing concern, and is very valuable
property, but would be worse than

prevented from working at the Palm Garden. -.
Individual members OF the society reported
they had blanketed horses and performed
other similar acts along the line Of humane
work.
DR.. Libby, government inspector at the
stock yards, stated that many lots of animals
were brought in suffering from hunger and
thirst and were sometimes permitted TO re-
main there couple OF days without food
or water They would then be salted fed
and watered before shipment In consequence
OF this treatment animals frequently died
Mrs. N. T. Cause, the national organizer
reported that on her recent visit to the stock
yards she captured "goad stick" a sharp
ened stick used to poke animals in loading
and unloading cars. She was informed that
their use was general here. but in the Chicago
stock yards they were not tolerated.
Mrs. c. A. Severance was appointed COM
mittee TO confer with the proper persons and
have temporary sheds erected at the union
station for the shelter OF hack horses
In answer to the request OF Mrs. T. c.
Jones. large warning sign will be erected
at the corner OF Grand and Oakland avenues
cauuoning drivers against going up the steep
hill with heavy loads.
The educational work OF the society was
discussed at some length and a vote OF thanks
was given the press for its hearty cO-opera-
tion.
Treasurer James |. Jelett reported that the
hitherto empty treasury had received some
thing over 500 since the coming OF Mrs.
Cause, who will remain here about ten DAYS
longer to assist in raising funds.

SEVEN CORNERS BANK.
Is Finally Disposed of In the Dis
trict Court.

The affairs of the defunct Seven
Corners bank were practically wound
up yesterday before Judge Bum at
special term. The court granted the
final account Of Receiver John F. Hoff-
man and to permit the receiver to pay
out all moneys still remaining in his
possession as receiver, to the persons
entitled thereto In consequence the
creditors will all receive a further divi-
dcnd of five per cent, when this is paid
the creditors will have received alto
gether something over a 35 per cent
dividend.
The court allowed Receiver Hoffman
s., 500 for his services, and w. =. West
fall, his attorney. $3,3S6. OF the entire
dividend, the assets of the bank paid
10 per cent and the stockholders 80 per
cent
The Seven Corners bank is now out
Of court as we'll as out of existence.

BRILLIANT ENGAGEMENT.
Joseph JefTerson's Concluding En-
gagement at the Metropolitan.

Joseph Jefferson concluded his en-
gagement at the Metropolitan opera
house last night with the presentation
of that delightful double bill Cricket
on the Hearth" and Lend Me Five
Shillings." Mr. Jefferson's portrayal of
Caleb Plummer lives in the memory of
all fortunate enough to have witnessed
1t as one of the most finished and SYM
pathetic creations known to the stage.
The actor diffuses the spirit of Dickens
throughout every scenefzin which the
quaint old toymaker Participates. A
more lovable character the great nov
elist never conceived. A finer truer
living embodiment Of tender. rnself
1sh nature never lived in stageland.
The other characters were in compe-
tent hands. Theodore Hamilton was en-
tirely satisfactory in the role of John
Perrybringle, and the ugly Tackleton
was effectively portrayed by Harry
Meredith. Miss Connie jackson, whose
representation of Tillie Slowboy once
seen is never forgotten, is still with
Mr.. Jefferson.
The farce Lend Me Five Shillings"
followed. Mr.. Jefferson's Mr.. GolightIv
is as gay and sprightly as that eccen-
trlc gentleman was many years ago.
The audience was large and brilliant

The plans accompanying the PROPOSE
ton show that the site will accomno-
date 100 teams, with suitable buildings
driveway, walks, and Accommodations
for hucksters' stalls. On the vacant
block adjoining, on the Pine street side,
room will be secured for 25O teams
more.
The building Mr.. Wheelock proposes
is of brick, and the plans to be submit
ted show it to be a very slightly and
substantial structure. On the Broad
way street side. at one end, it will
rise to the height of two stories, in the
upper of which will be the offices, tele-
phone room, scales and measure room,
etc The arrangement of stalls, drive
ways, walks, etc. is designed to furnish
the greatest possible convenience and
accommodations, with economy of
space. 1t is probable that when any
plans for new market are considered,
this will be among the number.

BURNS IS BROUGHT BACK.
Says He Was Ready to Come Two
Weeks Ago.

Sheriff WAGNER returned from Winnipeg
yesterday with Harry Burns in his custody.
Burns was indicted Jointly with Robert Bell
on the charge of committing perjury in the
trial of the damage suit against the st. Paul
& Duluth Railway company. He was brought
back by virtue of writ of eXtradition.
Burns was seen by a reporter for the
G o b at the Jail last evening, but de-
clined to discuss his case further than to
assign a cause for the failure of the authori-
tie to bring him back to this city when he
was first apprehended in Winnipeg. This he
says was due to the fact that the railroad
company wished to avoid any chance for
a technical failure of the proceedings. In
Winnipeg a fifteen-day stay is granted when
an extradttion is honored, and Burns says
that it was to allow this time to expire
that he was allowed to remain in Winnipeg
after expressing his willingness to return. He
furthermore says that there was no need of
extaditing him a he was pefectly willing to
come back without this formality two weeks
ago. Attorney Mcdonald has been retained
to defend Burns, and had a talk with his
client at the jail late yesterday afternoon.

and together they proceeded back to

remembered having the wallet in his

taken by Lynch, however, failed to dis
cover the money or trace of any one
seen to pick it up from the walk. Pay
ments was at once stopped on the
checks, but under the most favorable
circumstances Mr.. Lynch figures that
he is out the cash.

Patrick Lynch Sues the city for
Over $1,000

Patrick Lynch, whose very name oc-
casioned his removal from the police
force by Mayor Wright, and again by
Mayor Doran, has brought suit against
the city to recover $2057.50 Mr. Lynch
says, in his complaint, that this Is the
salary due 20 him for the period be-
ginning Jan. II, 1893, when Mayor
Wright attempted to discharge him,
and ending in the month OF May, 1895,
when Mayor Smith Teinstated him. Mr..
Lynch declares that during the period
specified, he was at all times a mem
Der of the St Paul police force, as both
bodies Of the common council never
concurred in the action of Mayor
Wright removing him. The assembly
concurred but not the board OF alder
men.

Death OF Senator Earle.

Senator Joseph II. Earle, died of Bright's
disease at his home In Greenville last Thurs
day evening.
Since then the newspapers have been full
Of the highest praise OF the deceased. 1t Is
true that he was good man. tits true tha,
he was a man Of whom South Carolina
would have reason TO be we'll pleased as
representative in Washington. 1t is true
that he possessed many OF the noble traits Of
a high manhood. 1t is true that in his death
South Carolina lost a worthy son.
But 1t is not true that his death was o
calamity to the State. South Carolina has q
hundred other men who could represent
the common wealth creditably and we'll In the
United States Senate. His fellow-townsman
Col. James A. Hoyt could fill his place.
Judge w. c. Benet in point Of ability. edu
cation and power as speaker is the peer O.
any man in the State. Hon. George John
stone Of Newberry would make an able and
courteous Senator OF whom South Caroline
would be proud. Congressman McLauren Is
Esrler's equal in every respect Hon. George
Prince of Anderson would shed lustre on his
native County. Ex-Governor John Gary
Evans, Governor Ellerbe, Editor Jaynes o.
Walhalla. Editor Aull of Newbery. or any
one of a hundred others whose names We
could mention would make good Senators.
When South Carolina has scores OF mer
who are at least the equal of the dead Sena-
tor, why talk of a calamity? In his death
South Carolina lost an honorable and ar
honored citizen, but we have others. The
people Of South Carolina can select one Of hel

Skinny on Your Own Side.

The Georgia papers in season and out Oh
season seem to take pleasure In giving South
Carolina a dig because this old common
wealth Is trying TO curtail the traffic In il.
quor, and has sought, as far as possible, TO
remove from our young men the temptation
to drunkenness
II our Georgia brothers would take sug.
gestion kindly, we would suggest that they
devote their energies to the rectifying OF the
cowardly and brutal abuse that is daily be-
ing inflicted on her convicts. For cruelty
and barbarous treatment OF convicts the
State of Georgia stands pre-eminent The
treatment which is accorded to defenselesS
convcts perhaps has no parallel for cruelty
and meanness. and yet the newspapers OF
that State occupy their time and attention
casting slurs at South Carolina because she
has shut up her bars, and reduced the evil OF
liquor drinking.
Brethren, please take the beam out of your
own eyes, and take the disgrace Of brutality
from your own State before Intern eddling
with our effort TO reduce the whskey evil In
South Carolina.
The State of Georgia has no right to slur
at any other State as long as she perpetuates
system of cruelty TO prisoners that would
disgrace barbarans.
