NO MONEY II SIGHT
OTHERWISE THE CITY ATTORNEY
MIGHT HAVE ACCEPTED CON-
GRESHAM STEVENS OFFER
TO PAY PART OF THE BOND.
ACTION TO SECURE THE CITY'S
DEPOSIT IN THE MINNESOTA
SAVINGS BANK.
HE WOULD CONFESS JUDGMENT,
But Mr.. Markham Declined Judg'

He Wanted 1t All.

CONGRESSMAN F. C. Stevens, who is
one of the sureties on the bond Of the
Minnesota Savings bank, given to the
CITY to secure it's deposits in that inst1-
tuition, offered yesterday to confess
Judgment in favor of the city for one
seventh of the amount-$10,O OO-for
which Judgment is demanded against
him. The offer was made in Judge
Otis court room yesterday afternoon
as soon as the suit Of the city against
the sureties on the banks bond came
on for trial. In other words, Mr.. Ste
vens, through his attorney, j. M. HaW-
thorne, filed an answer, in which, after
setting up the same defense as the
other six sureties, to wit, that the
city's deposit of 1000 was illegal, be-
cause it exceeded the assessed Valua-
ton of the banks capital stock, which
was 50, 633, he (Stevens) offered to al
low judgment to be entered against
him in favor Of the city for one-sev-
enth Of the amount 100000 demanded
against him, with the costs and dis
bursements. But Mr.. Stevens, in his
answer. named as a condition on which
tie tender OF judgment was made that
II his offer should be accepted, he
should thereupen be discharged from
all other anG, flu t1e~ liability on said
bond.
Corporation Attorney Markham re-
fused to either accept or reject the
offer. AS the city demands judgment
against all the sureties on the bond
for the entire $4,000, the reason for
the refusal of Mr. Markham to accept
the offer Of Stevens was evident. Mr..
Markham intimated to Mr.. Hawthorne,
however, that the city might be willing
to accept from Mr.. Stevens tender

amount.

constitution and set of bylaws similar in
their character to those of the Free Silver
Democratic Central club were reported, dis
cussed and finally adopted by the club.
The object of the association, 1t was stat
ed is to incorporate the principles enunciated
in the National Peoples party into laws, and
also to promote good municipal government.
Messrs Foster, of st. Cloud, and Dukes, Of
Minneapolis, were present, ard urged the as
ISOLATION to organize as an auxiliary to the
National Peoples party organized recently at
Nashville Tenn, but this action was deferred
for the present. NJ. ]. Costello made a spir-
tied address on the best methods of organiza-
ton. He emphasized the necessity of select
ing a responsible head to the new organiza-
ton. Mr. Walsh spoke in the same strain.
The chairman was authorized to name an or
ganization committee to consist of one from
each ward whose duty 1t shall be to proceed
without delay to the organization of ward
clubs.
Several references made to fusion were
promptly denounced as being out of the
question, the general sentiment Of those
present being to preserve the identity of the
party.

BIG CROP OF APPLES.
Owner of Several Orchards OH a
business Trip Here.

w. J. Baird, of st. Louis, one or
the largest apple growers and shippers
in Missouri, is in the city on business
visit to his Northwestern agents, De
Camp & Boyer. Mr. Baird owns sew
eral large orchards in st. Charles coun-
ty, and controls the crop of several
more. In speaking of the business to
a G. o b e reporter he said:
There was a general failure, or, at
least, a shortage of the apple crop IN
some usually prolific sections of the
country, and as we had fair crop IN
Missouri the state was crowded with
buyers from all over the East ana
North. Why, one man came from Ber-
lin to buy for expectation to Germany.
There are thousands upon thousands
of barrels of apples stored in Missouri
and other points, awaiting an advance
in price-just as the Northern farmer
holds on to his wheat. l have been
shipping mostly to the Northwest, as
I find this an excellent market. L ship
about 40, 900 barrels of an average year,
but this year, owing to the shortage, it
will not be over 10000 barrels"
That's Just a few apples" COM
mented the reporter.
Eyes. that's about as much as any of
them do down that way, with one eX-
ception. That is Conrad Schopp of st.
Louis, who is in a class by himself. A
month ago he told nle he had already
bought over 100000 barrels, and I sup
pose he will bring it up to half mill
ior before the season is over. The
shipning to thic point. at least, will be
