 Henry George died literally fighting for principles In municipal govern ment in which he thoroughly and sin- rerely believed. The nervous strain un- der which he had been during the cam paign, climaxed by the exertions put forth on the previous night, when he ad- dressed four meetings, was the contrib uting cause of his sudden death. Ap- oplexy Is given by his physician as the direct cause. His first speech Thursday evening was in whiteatone. Queens county. After that he addressed large crowds at Flushing and at College Point before returning to this city. His last speech was In Central Opera Houae In this city.
 Mir. George was accompanied on his tour, as usual, by Mrs. George. who throughout the campaign had been by his side constantly, trying to keep hun from overworking himself. They reach- ed the Union Square hotel at i2 o'clock and, with few friends. ate supper in the public dining room. shortly before 1 o'clock MT. and Mrs. George said good night to their friends and retired.

SELECTED AS THE STREET FOR
THE PROPOSED CROSS TOWN
LINE.
STREET MUST BE SEVERED,
AND 1T IS FOUND FOR THAT REA-
SON THAT DALE WILL
NOT DO.
KIRKE LOOKS UP THE RECORD.
Will Cost the City $4,000 Before 1t
Can Order the Street Car Com
pany to Build.

To carry out the sentiment of the
Seventh wa, / citizens expressed at a
meeting held Monday night, Assembly
man Kirke yesterday commenced an
investigation as to the necessary steps
to be taken to secure a cross town
street car line from Grand to Univer-
sity avenues. 1t was the intention 10
order the line built on Dale street. but
after consulting maps in the city en-
gineer's office, it was discovered that
there was a considerable portion of the
street which was not severed. A pro-
vision in the franchise granted the
street railway company provides that
they shall not be compelled to lay
tracks on any street on which a sewer
has not been constructed The COM
pany is now operating lines on any
number of streets not severed, but In
such cases the provision alluded to has
either been waived by the company
or provided for in ordinances. This be-
ing the fact, Assemblyman Kirke saw
that it would be futile to order a line
constructed on Dale street, and examin-
ed as to other streets in the vicinity
st. Adams street was selected as the
severed from Grand to st. Anthony
avenues and but three or four blocks
of a sewer would be needed to make
the street available for a street car
line.
City Engineer Rundlett questioned.
yesterday afternoon, stated that the
cost Of a sewer on st. Adams street
from Martin TO University avenue
would be in the neighbOrhood of 81, 500,
which would have to be assessed
against property owners President
German, of the board of public works
appropriated the assessment on the
property between Martin street and
University avenue for the sewer at not
more than $3.50 per front foot. 1t is
understood a preliminary order will be
introduced in the assembly tonight for
the construction Of the sewer.

CHANCE FOR A GUESS.
Comment on Vigilance of Police in
One Place.

Maggie Davis, arrested by Lieut..
POthen on the charge of conducting a
disorderly house on Robert street, was
discharged without prejudice in the
municipal court yesterday, notwith-
standing that Assistant City Attorney
Oppenheim requested that the case be
continued on the grounds Of alleged
suspicious circumstances by which it
was surrounded. When the case was
called the police stated that nothing
Ill was known of the Davis woman's
place further than that the arrest had
been made upon complaint of a man
named Cooper, who had been found
in the house. Cooper could not be
found, it was claimed, having Jumped
a $25 bond, and Lieut.. Pothen informed
Mr.. Oppenheim that without Cooper no
evidence could be produced
Mr.. Oppenheim however, informed
the court that he understood Cooper
was an assumed name and that the
person using it was we'll known ana
could be produced in court If the prop
er steps were taken to secure his pres
ence.
The Davis woman was arrested by
Lieut.. Pothen and Henry Babe, Dec
II, in company with Joseph Mills, on
the charge of disorderly conduct, and
after several continuances the case
was, on motion of the prosecuting at
torney, allowed to drop. Mr.. Open
helm intimated to the court that he
was surprised at the vigilance of the
police which led to the arrest of the
Davis woman. and which, when the
cases came to trial, appeared to have
so little foundation.

The evidence is all in in the trial of

The state rested just before the noon

to give the attorneys time to prepare

motion, Judge Kelly adjourned court
until q. n. today
The testimony yesterday forenoon
was furnished by Detective McGuff, Of
Minneapolis; Assistant County AttOT-
rey Zoilman and Patrolman McEllis-
from. Detective McGuff testified thai
he had taken several articles from the
rooms Of the Rose Printing company
in Minneapolis and identified many OF
them among the court exhibits. AS
sistant County Attorney Zollman toll
of his visit to Indianapolis and other
cities in hunting up evidence for thu
trial. Patrolman McEllistrom, who
arrested Rose, testified to finding GER
tain documents on his person.
The most interesting evidence sub
mitted consisted of a number of let
ters written by LIE Roy Daniels to
Wills, who is Roses partner. The LET
ters were dated at Washington, Buffa-

ties. One from Chicago reads

INTERLACING OF INTERESTS
Sought I'm the Proposed Manufac-
turers' Organization.

The movement to organize the manu-
facturers of ST. Paul is progressing
faVorably. In speaking of the pro-
posed organiza ton, Mr. Church said
yesterday: 1.-The special purpose in
view is to acauaint the manufa cturers
OF st. Paul with each other and with
the various articles manufactured by
the various firms. 1t is to be exclusive
~ manufacturers organization and 1t
is hoped that it will result in an inter
lacing Of mutual interests. 1t is not
our purpose to boycott articles of out
side manufacture but rather to help
manufacturers already established IN
the city by creating a larger sentiment
especially among local buyers, to pat
ronlze homemade goods. We desire
also to place the local manufacturers
in position to overcome the numerous
obstacles that are 50 constantly met
with and that are detrimental to ALL
THE organization is in no way an
tagonistic to those which already exist.
We have no desire to be at cross pur-
poses with them, but will, so far as
possible, work with them in those
things where there are interests in
common. There are however, matters
that come up that relate to manufactu-
rers alone and which can best be
met by an association composed of
manufacturing firms and organized
with that special object in view. St
Paul has never had such an organiza-
ton and the want of it has been felt
on numerous occasions. What we de-
sire to do is tor supply that lack ana
at the same time add one more to the
commercial bodies Of the city that will
work for the general good.
While not yet an accomplished fact
the organization is no longer a mat
ter of any doubt. We have already
over hundred pledged members and
will have two hundred or more out of
possible three hundred which might
be included in such an organization. 4"
The expense is so reasonable that,
according to Mr.. Church, the smallest
manufacturer in the city can become a
member without feeling it a hardship

one refused to LiGin the organization

LOOP ORDINANCE AGAIN
To BE Considered Along Next Week
Some Time.

The committee on streets of the as
sembly held a meeting yesterday after
noon, and among other matters de-
cided to report 9the ordinance of AS
semblyman Thompson providing for a
depot loop via Third, Sibley and Robert
streets, back without recommendation
The understanding is that when the
ordinance is reached in the assembly
this evening it twill be laid over and
taken up at a special meeting some day
next week.
Assemblyman kirl1e said that he cor
sidered it very sstrange that the city
could not get a depot loop. If the
present council did not pass the meas
ure it was impossible, in his opinion,
to get any future council to do so. AS
semblyman Reardon cut in with the
remark that this was a very gloomy
outlook, but the public would probably
stand it. Some talk was made about
the street railway company not hav-
ing the money to make improvements,
and in order to find out how the COM
pany stood on the proposition several
of the officials will be requested to at
tend the adjourned meeting of the
assembly, when the ordinance will be
discussed.
The ordinance granted to the Ameri-
can Hoist & Derrick company, by
which certain rights on the West Side
levee were leased was amended so as
to allow a year longer time in which
to make certain improvements

ing Harry Mcmillan.
A serious cutting ARRAY took place at
the home of Mrs. Mcmillan. 148 East
Ninth street, at an early hour yester-
day morning, as result of which Har-
~ Mcmillan received an ugly slash
i've inches long and penetrating almost
to the skull across the top Of the head,
while Adam CAM, his alleged assail-
ant, was arrested on the charge of as
sauit with dangerous weapon. Phil

Capistrant were also locked up on the
charge of disOrderly conduct DR..
Brimball dressed McMillan's wound at
the central police station, pronounc-
ing the cut serious, though not neces-
sarilly dangerous,
The cutting grew cut of a fight
brought on through Ganz's refusal to
leave the Mcmillan home after spend
ing the evening there. CAM is a large
man, nearly six feet tall, while Nc
MILAN is a small of stature and scarce
~ more than a boy in appearance. Nc
MILAN, the two Capistrant boys and
JC hnSon were at q party and on their
return found CAM at the house. After
they had retired CAM was asked to go
but said he intended remaining all
night. According to Mcmillan, he got
out of bed and opened the door. with
request to CAM that he at once leave
the house. Immediately, it is alleged
CAM drew a large clasp knife and
made a lunge at McMillan's face. The
young fellow lodged and caught the
blade on the top of his head. Officers
Tschida and Ahern arrested the quar-
tette, all of whom had been drinking
GAM claims the stabbing was done in
self-defense. The charges against all

rather than break his word, he will
be forced to appoint Mabon.
IF he doesn't appoint Mabon he will

is the way one gentleman expressed 1t
yesterday.
Another indication that Mabon will
get the plum was the statement made
by Assemblyman Thompson at a meet
ing of the assembly committee on
streets yesterday afternoon. The ques-
ton was being discussed as to the
possibility of passing depot loop ordi-
nance and whether there were suf-
hcient votes in that body to push
the measure through. Assemblyman
Thompson stated that there were now
but as there was ito be change in
the membership of the assembly soon
1t would be a good thing to have the
ordinance acted on at once. Mr..
Thompson didn't mention any names.
but the announcement did not seem to
surprise any ofethe members.

GIVEN FIRST SLICE
ASSIGNEE AND ATTORNEY OF THE
MINNESOTA SAVINGS BANK
ALLOWED PAY.
ACCOUNTS FILED IN COURT.
WILLIAM BTCKEI4 ASKS TO BE RE-
LIEVED OF HIS DUTIES AND
DISCHARGED.
Over Twice as Much Expended a>
Collected Up TO Date by the
Assignee.

William Bickel, who was made the
assignee Of the Minnesota Savings
pank, on Jan. Is, 1897, appeared before
Judge Willis in the district court yes
terday afternoon. submitted his final
account and asl.ed that his compensa-
ton and that of his attorney, Moses E.
Clapp, be fixed and that he be formal
ly released and discharged as assignee.
After hearing the testimony of Will
lam Bickel, William F. Bickel and
Moses E. Clapp, Judge Willis an
nounced that he would sign the formal
order asked for. The court thereupon
instructed the attorneys to prepare an
order discharging Mr.. Bickel, as as
signee, and fixing his compensation for
the period of his service-as assignee
one month and thirteen days-at $3.50
The court allowed Moses E. Clapp the
ney for the assignee, and fixed the
amounts to be paid the American Sure
ty company, which furnished the as
signee's 100000 bond, at 5000.
The final account CT the assignee
shows that since entering upon the dis
charge of his duties as such assignee,
he has collected from the assets Of the
insolvent bank the sum Of $516.39 in
cash.
While acting as such assignee, he
has paid bills amounting to $685. and
contracted bills amounting to about
$3.50
The assignee further reports to the
court that he has been served with
garnishee proceedings in the suits ii
Minnehaha Camp No. 675, Modern
WCOdmen of America, against Fred c.
Stevens and others; Branch No. Is, Or
der OF Iron Hall, against the same
parties, and in the suit of Orris Hunt
against the same parties, and also in
the suit of Branch g. Iron Hall, all
of which suits are now pending in the
district court of Ramsey county.
The report calls attention to the fact
that when the assignee entered upon
his duties the suit of Michael j. Bell
against the Minnesota Savings bank
was pending in the district court. The
suit resulted in a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, and the assignee was substi-
tuted as defendant, in place Of the
bank.
The assignee, in conclusion, reports
that the cash collected by him, amount
ing to $516.S9, less the sum Of SIS here

If statements of the mayor are to

member of the board Of public works

that Assemblyman Mabon, of the
Eighth ward, will be John Copeland's
running mate in the board Of public
works. Several of these gentlemen
say that Mayor Doran, very unwisely
perhaps, promised Mabon the place

pany, J. B. Weidenborner, L. A Weld
enborner and Linsey Waters, for dam
ages for alleged false arrest and ma
l.cious prosecution Judge Willis yes
terday dismissed the case as to the COM
pany on motion Of Attorney Dobner
There was no. reason for connecting
the company with the action After
hearing the rest of the testimony the
court directed the jury to return
verdict for the co-defendant, Linsey
Waters
The testimony showed that the
WeidenbOrner's had not instituted the
prosecution of Nagle on the charge of
selling mOrtgaged property, but that
the complaint upon which the warrant
for Nagle's arrest was executed was
secured by Mr.. Waters, the bookkeeper
Of the furniture company. from which
Nagle had obtained goods on the in
stallment plan. 1t also appeared that
Mr. Waters in securing the complaint
acted upon the advice Of Corporation
Attorney Darragh. Hence the direc-
ton of the court that the jury find a
verdict for the defendant.
