DEFENDANT WAS DEAD.
Dismissal of Charge for Illegal
Liquor Selling.


The proceedings in the prosecution
of Andrew Dahlquist and F. Emmert,
the saloon keepers alleged to have sup
piled liquor to the qXArtette of youths
arrested for drunkenness two weeks
ago, occupied Judge Orr in the mum
icipal court yesterday. The case
against Emmert was dismissed upon a
technicality, it being shown that F.
Emmert against whom the charge
was made in the complaint is dead and
that the proprietor of the saloon at Al
Wabasha street is William Emmert.
A new complaint will be lodged against
the latter.
Dahlquist set up as a defense that
he had often warned his bartenderS
not to sell liquor to minors and that
in the case of the young men, they
informed the bartender that they were
of age 1t was urged that when the
boys assured the bartender that they
were of lawful age, the proprietor of
the saloon was not responsible for a
violation of the law. The defense was
granted a continuance until Saturday
to permit Of the filing of brief up
holding the position taken.
The witnesses, Gilbert Kelly, Frank
VIM, Bert Smith and George Brown
each testified to having received liquor
at both Dahlquist's and Emmert's
saloons They had been casually asked
their ages and some of the party had
replied that they were of age. At En-
merits they said a bottle of beer had
been secured, and at Dahlquist's a
glass of beer each. The defense is
making a hard fight, as conviction
means the forfeiture of both the ac-
cused'S licenses.

PARKER WOULD BID
SO THE JOINT COUNCIL COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS THE REJEC-
TION OF BIDS
FOR GASOLINE LIGHTING.
EX-ASSEMBLYMAN FURNISHES A
BOND TO CUT THE PREVIOUS
FIGURES
TO MAKE UP FOR ANY DELAYS
As May Arise From the Determine
ton of the Committee to Re-
advertise Now.

The joint council committee on gas
yesterday afternoon by a vote of five
to one recommended that the bids for
gasoline lighting be rejected and that
the city readvertise for proposals.
Present at the meeting were Aids.
Donahower and Shepard and Assem-
blymen Dix, Albrecht, DAILY and Kirke.
D. J. Prendergast represented the Car
bon Light & Power company, and
Charles A Pettingill, the American
Development company. The recommen-
dation of the committee was arrived
at owing to the statement made by
J. ]. Parker, an ex-assemblyman, that
he would, if other bids were called for,
agree to put in a much lower bid than
had been submitted by either the Car
bon Light & Power company or the
American Development company. The
report of the committee will be sub
mitted to the board Of aldermen at the
meeting of that body tomorrow even
ing, and to the assembly at its meet
ing Friday evening. If both bodies
favor the report and Mr.. Parker in the
meantime has filed a bond to back up
his proposition, new proposals Will be
advertised for If not then the ques-
ton will be narrowed down between
the Carbon Light & Power company
bid at II cents per lamp per month, and
the bid Of the American Development
company at so cents per lamp per
month.
Aid. Donahower was selected as
chairman and the bids of the Carbon
Light & Power company and the
American Development company were
read. Mr.. DonahOwer said the bids
were now before the committee and
asked what should be done.
Mr.. Daily said he saw nothing to do
but to award the contract to the low
est bidder. Mr. Shepard thought the
two bids should be compared as he
noticed that two sections of the Car
bon Light & Power company's bid pro-
vided that posts and lamps were not
included.
D. J. Prendergast, representing the
Carbon Light 81 Power company, said
he had added the sentence mot lamp
and post" in order that there should be
no misconstruction as to the bid. His
firm did not want to be required to
furnish lamps and posts under the
name of appliances. Mr.. Kirke stated
that if the bids were all rejected lower
bids could be secured and the city
would save considerable money. ]. J.

Parker was present and wanted to be
heard. Mr.. DAILY said that since one OF
the bidders had been knocked out they
had been going around endeavoring to
have all the bids rejected in order that
another chance could be given them.
Mr.. Prendergast said up to date no
incorporated company had made bid
for doing the gasoline lighting in the
city Of st. Paul. His company sub
mttted a proposal and it was not right
to allow firms to come in and after
the bids were opened make an open
proposition.
Mr. Kirke said Mr. Parker had as
sured him that the firm he represented
would do the work much cheaper II
this was so, it was simply a matter
of dollars and cents to the city. and
he favored getting the work done as
cheaply as possible. Mr.. Donahower
said the trouble had been that the city
had been paying from $27 per lamp
to $1l.82 and the question was how
much cheaper could the city get the
work done Tor.
j. j. Parker said he was connected
with an institution that had this bust
ness in hand. He had been out of the
city during the time the present bids
NtlC duN tI LlScN 4OI- IlE NdE WHILE
to give bond or check that the bid he
would submit would be lower than the
present ones. Mr.. DAILY asked what
company Mr.. Parker represented. Mr.
Parker said he represented good COM
pany. Mr. DAILY thought that was not
answering his question. Mr. Parker,
however. was not ready to name the
company he represented, but said it
would be made known, if the council
readvertised. by a bid being submitted
Mr.. Albrecht thought the only ques-
tior to be considered was to save
money to the city. If. as stated, a low
er bid could be secured, it would be
a duty of the city council to read
Vertise. He was opposed to an open
bid being received at this time, but
favored readvertisng.
Mr.. Kirke moved that the present
bids be rejected and there be a read
vertisement. Mr.. Parker again offered
to put up a check for $500 that he
would put in a lower bid. Mr.. Prender-
CAST thought the certified check should
be for the sum of $4,000, the amount
his firm by it's bid had saved the city.
Mr.. Parker was not exactly in favor of
putting up an $4,000 certified check,
but he was willing to give a bond in
that sum.
All bids were then recommended to
be rejected, provided that Mr.. Parker
furnish bond in the sum of 5000 that
he would submit a bid lower substan-
TALLY, than the lowest bid received.
The bond is to be satisfactory to the
corporation attorney and furnished be.
fore Thursday night. Mr.. Prendergast
said he expected TO put in another bid
and save some money for the city. He
wanted the committee to consider Tins
in the matter. The readveTtising wOulN
take some weeks and the contractor
should be given at least four weeks to
put in his plant.

FIRE BOARD BUSINESS.
Comptroller McCardy Sends in q
Kick on Two Salaries.

Comptroller McCardy notified the fire
board last evening that under the char
ter provision the salaries of Fred
Hough and S. w. Manning would have
to be reduced to $50 per month instead
of the $50 which was given them in
the October pay roll. In order that
there might be no mistake about the
deduction, the city comptroller reduc-
ed the amount so as to conform to the
provision CT the charter and allowed
the pay roll to go through. 1t was eX-
planned by the secretary of the board
that, although Hough had been draw
ing $50 per month for several years,
and Manning had been raised from $50
to $50 per month last summer, this
was the first time the comptroller had
kicked on the pay roll in this par
stieular.
President Freeman explained that I'M
der the charter the board was allowed
to hire superintendent Of fire alarm
at $4,000 per year; two linemen at 5000
each; and three operators at $500 EACH
Instead of this, and with a desire to
economic, the board had reduced the
salary of the superintendent to $1,000
per year; two finemen were hired for
81, 644 and two operators for $1,440 per
year. This had made a saving in the
amount allowed the fire alarm depart
ment under the charter of over 81, 200
pei veal. lHSlSdu VI Op-
orators at $50 per month, the board
managed to get along with two and
fixed their salaries at $50 per month.
EIe was of the opinion that, if the mat
ter was properly explained to the comp
troller, there would be no objection,
and a committee, consisting of Presi-
dent Freeman and the secretary, was
directed to lay the matter before the
comptroller.
The report of Chief Jackson for Oc-
tober was as follows: Number of
alarms, 81; insurance on buildings,
$50, 900; insurance on contents, $16,350;
total insurance involved, S176,3 loss
on buildings, $2,6S270: loss on con-
tents, $5,977.69; total loss, $S,O6039; in
surance over loss, $16S, 2S9.61.
f. D. Varnum, assistant electrical in
spector, submitted a report for October,
of which the following is an abstract:
There were 157 inspections of electric
wiring and apparatus. Permits for
electric work issued, 100, covering the
insulation of wiring and appliance as
fellows: IncandeScent lamps, 812; arc
lamps, 20; electric motors, Il; electric
meters, 81; inside wiring systems, 1872;
aerial wires, As
Secretary Halls report as to the
financial condition of the department,
showed a balance on hand of Sal, 747.73.
From this amount the salaries for No
Yember and December, estimated at
$4,000, and incidental expenses esti-
mated at $4,000 are to be deducted,
which will leave the board with about
$4,000 on hand Jan. /, 1898.
The figures of the secretary shows
receipts, according to the books of the
city comptroller, of $210, 257.09; disburse-
ments, $16S, 500 36. The disbursements
as compared with those for a CORE
spending period last year were $4,125.2
more.

out with the explanation that he had made
mistake in the house. He was followed to the

Mayor Doran Inquiries Into Sequel
of RoebucIS Robbery.

Mayor Doran has been making another in
yes igation as to the connection OF members
# the pohce and detective force with the
robbery of ,oi ge Rect Tck. which occurred
in this city last July. 1t will be remembered
that Roebuck was held up by William Furey
and two accomplces at Twelfth and Robert
streets and robbed Of S700 in gold. The
thieves escaped after getting the coin and
half an hour later Roebuck F'urey in
front of an East Seventh street saloon Roe
buck grappled with Furey and was finally
taken into the saloon, where an attempt was
made to compromise the affair by handing him
back portion of the $780, Either at the
time this scheme was being talked about or
few minutes later, some half dozen mem
bers of the police department we're on the
scene. Furey was taken to the central sta
ton, but there was a shortage of $50 in the
amount taken from Roebuck and the sum
found in Furey'S possession There was con-
siderable talk about the disappearance Of the
$3.50, but it finally reached the hands of Chief
Goss. A short time afterward an fnvestiga-
ton was held by the mayor to discover as to
the whereabouts of the money between the
time the police arrived in the saloon and the
day it was delivered to the custody of Chief
Goss. The result of the investigation was
that Detective Henry Gruber resigned from
the force. Lately the rumor has been cir
cuated that there were other members of the
police department who were connected with
the holding out of the money. and the mayor
held another investigation. Speaking of the
matter yesterday. the mayor said it had been
charged that other members Of the force
knew more about the affair than had been
told and he had gone over the case again.
He felt satisfied, after hearing all the evil
dence, that there was nothing to the state
ments that had been circulated. 1t had been
brought out the mayor said, that there were
lice department in the saloon shortly after
Furey and Roebuck went inside, but that
they had all been called there in connection
with the arrest OF Furey, and knew. nothing
