THE MINNESOTA BRIDGE.
Attorney-6e General Does Not Hold
Redwood County.

For some time past the county
commissioners, through the columns
of this paper, have maintained that
it is not the duty of Redwood
county to build new bridge across
the Minnesota river between Red
wood and Renville counties, to take
the place of the one located near
North Redwood, which is now in
dangerous condition. But in order
to be more sure of their position the
commissioners directed County At
torney Clague to write the attorney
general on the subject. The latter
did so, saying that in his opinion
it was not incumbent upon Redwood
county alone to construct the bridge
The attorney general confirms the
position of the commissioners and
of THE GAZETTE in the following
reply to Mr. Clague:
Upon this subject I can say that
I thoroughly agree with your con-
struction of this chapter. | doubt
very much if it was the intention Of
the legislature to make it incumbent
upon Redwood county to keep such
bridge in repair for all time to
come. There certainly must q time
arrive in the actual course OF events
in the wear and tear of structures.
such as bridges, when such struct-
ure or bridge is beyond repairing.
and then it seems that the obliga-
ton of the county ceases-when the
county authorities conclude that the
bride is unsafe, that it is no longer
capable Of repair. and are borne out
in their judgment by the facts, the
duty Of keeping the bridge il re-
pair ceases. From an inspection Of
the chapter am unable to find any
provisions to the effect that the
comfy of Redwood must build
new bridge, and shall therefore
state that. in my opinion. your con-
struction Of the law is fair and
reasonable.

LIND WANTS CREDIT.
Which Belongs to the Republicans
of the Legislature.

St. Paul. April 11-Gov. Lind
made a shrewd political move Fri
day with the hope of appropriating
to himself credit which belongs to
the Republican members of the
legislature. Some time ago a bill
was introduced in the House pro-
viding for increasing the capacity
of the twine plant at the State
prison. This bill gave expression
to the sentiment of large number
of members.
Friday morning the Republican
ub-cOmmittee of the House and
Senate unanimously recommended
that $4,000 be appropriated for the
extension of the Irvine plant. This
had not been published, as the
work of the committee is kept secret
until the appropriations are all
agreed upon, but it is understood
that, Of course, the governor knew
all about it.
Saturday morning Gov Lind sent
a communication to the Legislature
for an appropriation to enlarge the
prison Irvine plant. He simply
recommended something which the
legislature had already decided up
on and the credit belongs to the
Republican party.
A bill which will be of great
value to farmers has passed both
branches of the s'legislature. It
places the commission merchants
under the regulation of the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission and re-
quires that such merchants shall
keep a record to show details of
their transactions and shall give
bonds to secure farmers, swho send
them products, against loss. This
is one of the wholesome laws passed
at the present session.

Boycott and Openly Defies It-Mine
Workers Planning to Do Missionary
Work-Chicago's Strike of Brickmakers.
Cleveland, o., Aug. A. The with
drawal of several companies of troops
yesterday was followed last night by
another dynamiting outrage, but fort
unately nobody was hurt. The explo-
sion occurred under n Jennings avenue
car, on which there were six passen-
gers. 1t smashed the fiange of one of
the wheels and splintered the running
board at the side. The passengers were
badly frightened. but none was injured
and the car proceeded on its way to
the end of the run.
Arthur's Opinion OF the Boycott.
Grand Chief P. NJ. Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
has been reported to the strikers for
riding on Big Consolidated cars in dis
regard of the boycott. When asked if
he patronized the Big Consolidated cars
he replied: 'Of course l Go. / ride on
them every day, and whenever l have
occasion to do So"
why do you do it?" he was asked.
why was the reply, do you sup
pose 1 am going to walk three miles
down town when the cars pass my
door? OF course l am not. This agita-
ton and the boycott are utterly ridicul-
Gus and the strikers have gone alto
gether too far
The director of police said last night
that officers would be instructed to ar
rest on the charge of disorderly con-
duct all persons who annoy passengers
of the Big Consolidated cars by calling
names or following them to their
homes to ascertain where they live and
who they are. for the purpose of bring
ing them under boycott.
Strikers Have Some Encouragement.
At the strikers headquarters it was
announced that fifty of the non-union
motormen and conductors running on
the Wilson, Central and Scovil avenue
lines had quit work. The men, it was
stated, were promised 81 a day and
board until the strike was over. The
company posted a notice yesterday at
the Wilson avenue barns stating that
as the strike was practically ended the
men must pay their own board The
latter, however, deny that the strike is
over. and as n result-according to the
strike leaders-a number of the new
men refused to take out their runs.
The Big Consolidated officials deny
that the men have stopped work as
stated by the strike leaders.

of Property Reported.
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 4-The first
train since Monday from Carrabelle
through the storm-stricken gulf coast
section reached here yesterday after
noon. The train crew and passengers
agree in stating that reports sent out
of the destruction wrought by the
storm have been extremely moderate.
Carrabelle is literally wiped from the
map. Her docks and wharves, con-
tanning about 400. 900 feet of lumber
and SO. 900 barrels of rosin, were quick
" swept away. Thirteen or fourteen
large lumber vessels in the bay were
swept ashore and are now lying well
upon dry land. These vessels con-
tanned several million feet of lumber.
Only two or three huts are left stand
ing in Carrabelle and one colored wo-
man is known to have ben killed by
the falling of a house. The town is
isolated and the wires are still down.
The towns of Mcintyre and Curtis Mill
are completely demolished, and large
interests have been destroyed The
coast resorts, Teresa and Lanark. are
more seriously wrecked than at first
reported and visitors have suffered
great hardships, though no loss of
life is yet known. Fifteen men said
to have been seen fishing on an islet
called Dog island Just before the storm
broke cannot be found.

MINE WORKERS EXECUTIVE
Discussing Measures for Getting More

Discussing Measures for Getting More
Miners into the Union.
Indianapolis, Aug. 4.-The executive
committee of the United Mine Workers.
spent the greater part of yesterday in
discussing the measures for broaden
ing the membership of the unions
throughout the mining disticts. While
the national body has $4,000 members
many more than this number do not
belong to 1t. 1t was decided that adj
ditional organizers should be sent
into the districts. The committee has
not as yet received official notice of
the strike inaugurated yesterday in
Pennsylvania. Committeeman Mckay,
of the Pennsylvania district, said he
was not surprised at the strike, which
is in five anthracite colleries. At the
Nanticoke of the Susquehanna Coal
company 1 900 men have stopped work,
and at the Keystone. at Mill Creek,
500 are out. At the Babylon mine at
Duryea 500 men are on strike for an
increase in wages. The main griev-
ance is excess of dockage.
Pittsburg, Aug. 4.-Within the next
week or ten days the United Mine
Workers of America will inaugurate a
strong movement for the purpose of
Inducing the coal miners of West Vir-
ginia to join the ranks of the union.
The organization will put forth its
entire strength for that purpose. One
of the plans in connection with the
movement is to buy stores where an
organization of the miners may be eff
fected, so that if those who become
members of the organization are dis
charged for joining it they and their
families may be supplied with food
until they are again at work.
