had a service in the Twin Cities that
was hard to talk over to a neighbor in
the adjoining block, to raise the ques-
| ton about connections. The North
western company charged Sc per month
for most outrageous service, and now
it was endeavoring to shut off competi-
ton. The ordinance, or one similar,
had been passed in Minneapolis after a
thorough investigation, and the same
charges had been made in that city,
hut after an investigation were ex-
ploded.
All the opposition company sought TO
do now was to delay matters and create
additional expense. If ST. Paul desired
to turn it's back on the business men
and say the company must do business
in Minneapolis it would be against the
interests of st. Paul.
Mr.. Freely said the new company
could not talk from Hastings to Red
Wing, while the map they presented
announced that it had connection be-
tween these two cities.
Mr.. Cairns replied that it was pro-
posed line that the map showed.
Mr.. Freely asked if the new COM
pany could talk between Red Wing and
Mason City. He was informed by Mr.
Cairns that he was talking through
his hat.
Mr. Beck said the objections raised
by Mr. Freely were captious and friv-
olous. The new company should be al
lowed to come in. The same objections
had been raised by the opposition COM

pany in every city where an independ-
ent company had sought to do business.
In Faribault the Bell company charged
"a per month for a phone. An indie
pendent company came in and the
rates were at once reduced to $150 by
the Bell company. If the ordinance did
nothing more it would cause reduc-
ton in the rates. He hoped the tele-
phone question would not be dropped
until the city was benefited
Mr.. Cairns said the bond given by
the company in Minneapolis contained
the names of prominent bankers, and
that bankers all along the lines of the
company were stockholders in the conn
pany. The company had only began
the work of constructing lines in the
state, and the result would be a reduc-
ton in rates and better service.
Resolutions passed by the st. Paul
board of trade urging the council to
pass the ordinance were read. They
were printed in The G ! b e of yester-
day.
Mr.. Reardon explained that there was
nothing to the statement that the
members of the council had been given
stock in the new company, and the
ordinance was recommended to pass by
a unanimous vote.

sissippi Valley Telephone company the
right to operate a local exchange was

HIS BATTLE WITH DEATH
ARCHIE PETERS IN A SECOND
FIGHT NOW
Physicians, However,, Think That
His Chances for Recovering From
the Knife Wound Received
Wednesday Night Are Slight
What Those Under Arrest Say.

/ Archie Peters, the negro stabbed in
the left breast during fight in lower
town Wednesday night, was still alive
at midnight.
The physicians say he can hardly re-
cover.
The knife thrust which is likely to
terminate fatally penetrated Peters
body under the second rib, just above
the heart The wound is somewhat
diagonal, as though the blow had been
struck sideways or from behind. In
addition to another cut on the left
shoulder and stab in the face, Peters
is threatened with an attack of pneu-
monia. His wound received no medical
attention until nearly three hours after
he was stabbed, during which time he
lay on the floor at the home Of Jeff
Hudson, where the fight took place.
Jeff Hudson is accused in Peters
ante mortem statement Of doing the &C
tual stabbing, but it is impossible to
learn the particulars Of the fight, as
County Attorney Anderson refuses to
make known the full contents Of the
statement.
When taken to the police station after
the stabbing, Peters told Capt. Rouleau
that Hudson had stabbed him, and
this accusation, County Attorney An
derson says, is also made in the ante
mortem statement. Peters story impli-
Gates one of the other prisoners under
arrest, and for this reason the county
attorney declines to give out the
wounded mans complete version of the
affair.
Besides Hudson, the prisoners are
Webb Graham, colored, and Harry
Haggenmiller and Minnie Smith, both
white. From them little can be learned
concerning the trouble. Haggenmiller
and the Smith woman are both badly
pounded up, Haggenmiller having sew
eral cuts on his head, while his cloth
ing is saturated with blood, but Ora
ham and Hudson, arrested several
hours after the cutting, show no evil
dences whatever Of an encounter.
From the conflicting stories told it
appears that all of the prisoners lived
at Hudson's home, 1913 Norris street.
Graham says that about o'clock Pet
ers, who was visiting at the house, be-
came engaged in a quarrel with Hag-
genmiller over the Smith woman. A
fight ensued, in which, he says, the
Smith woman took part. The only
connection with the hostilities taken by
himself and Hudson, Graham says, was
to separate the belligerents. Graham
says he saw no display Of weapons.
Hudson's story Is to the effect that
he and Graham went to a hydrant near
his home for pail of water, and found
Peters lying on the sidewalk. He says
the wounded man was carried into the
house, and when asked the trouble
said he was drunk. Later, when 1t was
discovered that Peters was wounded,
Hudson says he notified the police.

CLAIMANT FOR A FORTUNE,
But Mrs. Henrietta Proctor Declines
to Discuss Her Claim or
PrOsDects,

A telegram from Eau Claire, pub
lished in Tuesdays G e, stated that
Mrs. Henrietta Proctor, who until re-
Gently resided in ST. Paul. had entered
claim for a portion of the property
of William Carson. Of Eau Claire. The
will has just been entered for probate
in Eau Claire. and the estate will ag-
gregate at the lowest calculation 81 ESQ.,
600. Under this will Mrs. Proctor gets
$4,000. She, however, claims to be the
sole heir to this enormous fortune, and
afiirmS that she is CarsOn's daughter
by former wife. a son by the same
marriage having died in his youth.
Mrs. Proctor claims that Mr.. Carson
in the year 1847 was married to Susan
Lamb, who was widow. Two chill
dren were the result Of this union.
Some years later Mr.. Carson was
married to Miss Smith. sister of w. H.
Smith, a wealthy miller and lumber
man. There were six children by this
marriage.
The plaintiffs attorney, Judge w. F.
Bailey, is sanguine Of proving his
clients claim. There are a number Of
people now living who attended Car
sons first wedding who will testify.
Capt. Young, an old steamboat captain,
will be one Of these.
Mrs. Proctor is the wife Of Baron
Proctor. of Minneapolis. Her former
home was In Saltwater, where she was
married to Mr. Proctor, being at that
time a widow. Since then the family
had resided in ST. Paul and recently
took up residence in Minneapolis.
A G o e reporter called on Mrs.
Proctor yesterday at her home in the
Agincourt. When asked about her pros
poets for realizing so great a fortune
Mrs. Proctor said
ooh. do not say anything more about
the matter. I hoped the whole affair
would be kept out Of the papers. There
is simply nothing more to say beyond
what the newspapers have already
stated. My lawyer has warned me not
to make any statement till the case
comes up, and the whole matter is very
painful to me-
The lady was greatly overcome, and
the tears gathered In her eyes as she
spoke. Her daughter was present at
the interview and said
"There is simply nothing more to say
till the case comes up. The papers
have used all the information there is
to give about the matter

the subject. He said. among other
things:
| think this is the best suggestion that
mas ever been made. Internationally the
location mentioned is a proper place for

street In the city that has held its own dur
ing all these years of depression The re-
tail business has remained right here; and
everything ought to be done to keep this
as retail street. If handsome structure
is erected at that place, with street car con-
nections on the threshold, the fact will
make good impression upon the stranger
arriving in the city for the first time. The
presence Of the depot will in time, and very
quickly, improve Seventh street as a retail
thoroughfare.. BY placing the depot down
there street car connections are at once as
sured. A car can be taken at the door and
transfer made to any point in the city or
course that would be of benefit to the re-
tailers as well as to the people. think the
suggestion is most excellent one, and that
it will meet the approval of all business
men, In the first place, and the people gen.
orally; and | think everything possible
ought to be done to carry 1t out. 1t seems
to me. too, that the suggestion Is timely,
because, as l understand, the union depot
company Is about to undertake some i'm
provements of the old quarters; and If they
could be induced to come up here and put
their money, instead Of trying to develop an
outht which must prove more and more in
sufficient as time goes On, they would be
benefiting themselves as well as the entire
community. 1 hope the plan will go through
successfully

The assembly at its meeting last
night passed the Minnesota Central
Telephone company franchise by a
vote Of to /. Assemblyman DAILY vot-
ing against the measure and Assem-
blyman Johnson being absent.
The ordinance was given its first
reading, and, by unanimous vote, the
rules were suspended and the measure
read by it's title.
Mr.. DAILY said he had been unable
to be present at the committee meet
ing. but would inquire as to whether
the financial condition of the new
company had been investigated.
Mr.. Kirke said that Mr.. Cairns, at
torney for the company, was present
and would enlighten Mr.. Daily on that
point.
Mr. Cairns said he was at a loss to
know what proof Mr.. DAILY wanted.
The company had officers and head
quarters at Wilmar. The business
men back of the company were promi-
| nent business men and bankers, and
the stockholders included prominent
men all along the lines of the company
in the various cities and towns. The
business men Of Willmar were vitality
| interested.
| The ordinance, so far as possible.
prevented the sale Of the rights granted
not be done except by the consent of
three-fourths vote of the council.
| The object of the company was not to
| sell out, but secure terminal rights in
the Twin Cities.
Mr. DAILY said Mr.. Cairns was the
attorney for the company. and his
statements were all right What he de-
sired, however, was to hear from some
member of the assembly as to the
financial condition Of the company.
Mr.. Albrecht called for the question.
Mr.. Kirke said he was satisfied the
company was all right Mr.. Reardon
said, after attending the meeting of
the committee. he was satisfied that
the objections made by Mr.. Freely
were all a farce, and the company
would be a benefit to the city.
| The ordinance was adopted by vote
Of Z to l. Mr.. DAILY voting against it.
The ordinance will be brought up be-
fore the board of aldermen at the next
meeting of that body.
The assembly approved the applica-
lions for thirteen saloon licenses, one
of them being for a sample room to be
opened at 375 Wabasha street by Sen
ator Nick Pottgeiser.
The veto message of the mayor on
the claim of Peter Johnson, which was
passed over the mayors head by the
| board of aldermen was referred to the
committee on streets. Several of the
members who were in doubt as to the
justice Of the claim insisted on further
| investigation.
The resolution prepared by the board
| of public works locating the additional
1876 electric street lamps was approved.
Preliminary orders for the improve
| ment and boulevarding of Burr street
between Collins and Magnolia and Ma
| pie street between Gable avenue and
| Ravine street were passed.
Police patrol boxes at Arcade and
Dawson and Geranium and Rice streets
were ordered to be paid for from the po-
lice department fund.
| The communicat ton from the st. Paul

to pass the long distance telephone or
