Street Items.
SENATE.

One Hundred and First Day, June IS.
Notification was received from the
House of the passage of the bill Gre
ating a marine park on the east side
of the arbor.
The first of the series of reports on
examination of the books of various
departments came in from the Finance
Committee. The report received was
on the Marshal's office and treated the
subject exhaustively, going into the
details of the books of the Marshal's
office and of the Jail, a careful exam
ination of which had been made by an
| expert. Several features of the meth
Iods of keeping books and the balanc-
Fling of cash accounts were condemned
| by the expert. The committee stated
that the changes had been made and
that the accounts of the present period
would be kept differently. The COM
mittee went at some length into the
perquisite system in vogue in the Mar
shaIs Office Some time in March the
committee asked the Attorney Gen
eral for information on the subject,
and he in turn asked the Marshal, who
replied quoting various sections of law
as authority for retaining a portion
of the revenues of the Office.
During the last period the committee
reported, something like $4,000 was re-
ceived in the MarshaIs office as per-
uuisites. One of the sources has been
the fees for sealing weights and mea-
sures. A bill passed by the Senate
several days since directs the payment
of these fees in the treasury as Gov
ernment realization. The report was
listened to with interest. 1t was re-
ceived and placed on file to be cOnsid-
cred later.
A preliminary report was also made
on the Finance Department. The COM
mittee found that there was $29, 900 in
the treasury under an act of 1864 which
provided that moneys received from
sale of land should be used either to
purcase other lands or be retained as
sinking fund for the payment of bonds
due. The committee recommended
that it be so applied.
Notice was received that bills had
been presented to the President for his
signature relating to the marine park,
Heiaus and Puuhonuas and homestead
acts
There was some discussion on the
bill making regulation as to in which
circuits different civil cases shall be
brought. The various inconvenience
to which Iftigants are subjected by the
press of business in the First Circuit
Court were mentioned. The bill as
passed at second reading specifies
were cases shall be tried. Third read
ing was set for Tuesday.
The bill passed second reading reg
uIating the requirements for persons
eligible to be employed by the Gov
ernment.
Several questions asked by Senator
Brown Of Minister Damon on the sub
iect of assessment of taxes by the
Board of Equalization were referred
| to that official.

back that the balance of the vehicle
was overcome and it slid off of the

this performance on the part of the
wagon that they ran away They took

the United States has secured from
time to time. The war with Mexico
brought us much territory which has
proved valuable. Tine speaker did not
think that the commission would re-
linquish any territory in the western
hemisphere that has been acquired
during the war. The sun now never
sets On our possessions. The war has
demonstrated that an efficient navy
is needed, aud that coaling stations
must be provided for it. 1t is certain
that the peace commission will re-
tain these in the east, no matter what
may be done with the Philippines
and the Carolnes. In regard to the
latter, Mr.. Eustis said that the
United States has no right to take
away a government from the natives
and give none in return. We must
either annex the islands or see that
they have better form of govern
ment established than they had be-
fore.
The last three months have wit
messed the transpiring Of some Of the
greatest events in history. Spain has

illiterate. Education has been a
source of power for the United States.
The man who does not think cannot
shoot, and the farmer who said that
he did not think while blowing must
have escaped from Cervera's feet. 1t
is knowledge on the part of the
American seamen and troops that en-
abled them to win the battles at
Manila, Santiago and other points.
Mr.. Eustis exhorted the boys not to
to leave the farms, but to study and
MASTER the best way of farming. If
they would do so, Minnesota would
become vast Garden City.

The county fair at Garden City
closed Friday with one Of the
largest crowds in attendance ever
seen on the fair grounds. The man.
agement was unable to give the num-
Der of persons 'present, owing to the
number of family tickets sold, but it
is estimated to have been close to
5000. Every available space in and
out of the fair grounds was apprO-
priated for the use of the teams that
I brought thespeople from all the sur
rounding country. The attendance
from Mankato was much larger than
usual. Undoubtedly the address an

ther. The dust On the grounds and
on the roads leading to Garden City

Biggest Crowds Gather at Garden City
That Have Been Seen There
in Years.

The people who went to the Garden
City fair Thursday with the expecta-
tion of hearing Hon. W. w. Irwin,
the well known criminal lawyer of st.
Paul and Populist sachem, were dis
appointed, for Mr.. Irwin did not
come. He had business elsewhere.
and when the fair management
learned of this it engaged the services
of Hon. W. w. Pendergast, state
superintendent of public instruction.
Mr.. Pendergast spoke for about an
hour Thursday afternoon, and prob
ably gave better speech for the &C.
casion than Mr.. Irwin would have
done. He held,the close attention of
large audience, and was followed by
Prof. i. W. Parker, president of the
county fair association, who made a
few remarks.
The attendance Thursday was large,
although less than fifty from this city
were present. The fair is success
in every respect The exhibit OF stock
is fair, and the vegetable and grain
exhibit is good. Floral hall has the
usual attractions. j. S. Parks, Of

The Address.

Hon. VIM. III. Eustis arrived on the
afternoon train and was driven to the
grounds. At about 2:3O o'clock, he
was introduced by President E. W.
Parker, Of the fair association, and
spoke for about an hour, holding the
closest attention of his hearers,
although the day was windy and there
were various disturbing noises on the
grounds.
( Mr.. Eustis did not say anything on
local political issues, and the only is
sue that he mentioned was that re-
lating to territorial expansion. His
remarks we're of practical nature
and related nainly to farming. He
held that knowledge is power, no mat
ter in what walk Of life it is applied.
He said that if he was to chose pro-
fession he would chose that of farm
ing, as it is the most independent of
all professions. The development in
farming has been very rapid during
the present century, with the inven-
tion of numerous labor saving ma
chimes and the discovery Of new pro.
cesses. The improved transportation
facilities alone have increased the
value of farm products to the farmers
and added to the value of farm land.
Mr.. EusJis laid especial stress on
the scientific part Of farming. He
asked what the farmer was thinking
about when he was blowing. Some
young man in the audience spoke up
and said Nothing" Mr.. Eustis took
this as cue, and demo unced the man
who does not think as being dead.
The successful farmer is always
thinking, whether walking behind
the plow or not. A constant evolu-
tion is going on in nature. stock i.
improving, new kinds of fruits and
and vegetables are being produced,
and farmers must study there things
constantly and keep up with the
times to succeed the best.
Mr.. Eustis spoke of the war with
Spain, and said that while the farmers
were threshing their grain, the
farmers boys were threshing Spain.
He spoke of the work of the peace
commission, and reviewed the sue
cessive expansions of territory which

UNDER THE CARS.
Fatal Accident at St. Peter FRI
day Morning.
Mrs. Hanna Maves Run Down by Chi
cage & Northwestern Freight
Train.

A fatal accident occurred at St.
Peter Friday morning, resulting in the
instant death of Mrs. Hanna Maves,
wife of Chicago & Northwestern
section hand. Mr.. Maves' house is
close to the track, about a mile from
the depot, and he possesses one COW.
Mrs, Maves attempted to lead or drive
the cow across the track early that
morning, just as a special freight
train was coming along. The COW
was slow, and Mrs. MaveS stood on
the track urging the animal along,
when the train struck her. 1t is said
that the engineer blew the whistle,
but that Mrs. Maves paid no atten-
tion to it, and it is probable chat the
heavy train could not be stopped in
time to prevent the accident.
Mrs. Maves was terribly cut and
bruised, and her clothing was nearly
torn from her. The remains lay be-
side the track for some time, and
were still there when the passenger
train went by. Some one kindly spread
blanket over them. The train crew
was subpoened to testify at the IN
quest.
Mrs, Maves was As years of age, and
besides her husband leaves two sons
and two daughters. One of the sons
is baker in Fred Eichhorn's bakery,
on North Front street. His name IS
Charles Maves, and he was notified of
his mothers terrible death at shortly
after eight o'clock that morning. He
took the first train for st. Peter.

Two Years for Summerfield

Frank Summerfield, alias George At
wood, young man whose people reside
at El Paso, Texas. yesterday pleaded guilty
to burglary in the second degree and was
sentenced by Judge Smith to serve two
years in the Folsom penitentiary. Sum-
merfield and another young man who
made his escape, on the afternoon of the
18th of March broke into the room of John
Milcovich In the Roeder block, South Main
street. They gathered up miscellaneous
lot of clothing and pair of opera glasses
Summerfield sold the articles of wearing
apparel to a North Los Angeles street
secondhand dealer couple of hours later.
This man became suspicious that Sum-
merfield had stolen the Clothes and fol-
lowed him until Officer Ziegler was met,
when he caused him to be arrested. Sum-
merfield. unlike most convicts, who all
prefer to go to San Quentin, asked to be
sent to Folsom on account of his weak
lungs. request which Judge Smith
granted. Summerfield will be kept here for
few days, as he is needed as a witness
for the prosecution in the case of Caters
ana another butcher, who are accused of
having stolen a COW, and are said to have
made DANA ging admissions to this young
man.

The Architect and the Trustees

The First Baptist church of Los Angeles
is the defendant in a suit now on trial in
department three in which VIM. Will
cox asks for 1880 and interest for having
prepared in June last, at the instance of
the trustees Of the church, plans and draw
ings for a church edifice with an auditor
ium 75x75 In size. to be erected on the west
side of Flower street, between Seventh
and Eighth, at a cost of $780, 900. The archi-
tect whose plans were adopted should re-
ceive $1,000 in accordance with the instruc-
tions issued by Chairman D. Read of the
building committee. Wilcox alleges that
his plans were adopted by the defendants,
but they later adopted other plans and re-
fused to pay him for his work, sketches,
architects fees, etc. The church denies that
it accepted Willcox's plans. but that it in
formed him that they were held under ad-
visement subject to future approval. and
that in the event that they were not adopt
ed he would not be entitled to any COM
pensation. Finally these plans were not
adopted and the First Baptist church
claims that it is not indebted to the arch
itect.
