detectives, while practically dismissed

Werrck would not believe until tba
letter Of the mayor to Chief Goss was
read TO him that there was anything in
the talk about his being dismissed. Wells
was expecting that he would be repri

ed to be as much surprised, as Werricly
to learn that he had been recommended
for discharge.

as member Of the force to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of De-
tectlve Heeney, which took effect yester-
Day. Evans wilr be assigned to a beat,

from the ranks to fill the vacancies caus-
ed by the removals Of Detectives Wells
and Werlich, and the vacancies caused
by such promotions will be filled by new
men. Evans, who was appointed yester-
terday, Is resident of the Eighth ward

Manifold ESTATE.
An Effort Being Made to Set Aside
the Final Decree.

Judge Bazilesr in probate court yester-
day, took under Amusement the petition
of the London &, Northwest American
Mortgage company; limited, for the set
ting aside of the final decree settling the
estate of W. T. 0NIa8aeld, deceased, and
to allow the petitioner to file a claim for
$40, 280.70 against the estate.
Certain lands in Washington county
were owned by.P. w Parker, e. A. Jag
gard, Leedom Sharp, ]. A. Humphrey, H.
R. Denny, George o. Nettleton and w. T.
Maxfield In 1888, for convenience, the
formal title was vested in p. w. Parker
who mortgaged the property for $4,000,
which mortgage was sold to the petition
erS.
It is alleged that only $1,7O9.3O has ever
been paid on the mortgage, although the
interest has been kept up. In June, 1885,
an agreement was made by which the
property was conveyed to the st. Paul
Trust company to hold in trust for the
owners, who had Endorsed the mortgage
notes. -
The petitioner now contends that the
estate Of MaXfeld, one Of the indorsers,
was closed up without the London &
Northwest company being given chance

PRESENT IT TO COURT
ON AN AGREED STATEMENT OF
FACTS, AS PROVIDED FOR
BY LAW
TEACHERS UNPAID YESTERDAY
committee of the Teachers' AssOcIa-
ton Has Engaged John ID.
O'Brfen as Counsel, and an Eff
fort VIII Be Made to Secure the
Adjustment, of the natter without
DELAY


Yesterday was or rather should have
oeen' the teachers pay day, it having
been the custom[e the city heretofore to
pay the teachers as we'll as the other
school employees, on the 18th day of the
month But yesterday they did not get
their customary checks, on account Of
City Comptroller McCardys refusal to
audit the pay rolls
Meantime the teachers, who have been
paid for but two weeks of their work this
year, are many of them in straitened cir
cumstances. and immediate resort to the
courts will be the result, although the
form in which the case will be presented
to the judicial department is not yet alb
solutely determined upon.
The committee of the st. Paul Teachers
association, consisting of Profs. Robinson,
Weitbrecht and Slack and Misses Robb
and Brooks. has engaged John D. O'Brien,
as counsel, and the form In which the
grievances Of the teachers shall be pre-
sented to the court Is not yet determined.
Mr.. O'Brien stated to the G o b last
evening that he had conferred with City
Attorney Markham yesterday relative to
submitting the controversy between the
teachers and the city to the district court
on an agreed statement of facts, as pro-
vided for in the statutes 1t is not an
ticipated that there will be any serious
difficulty about agreeing upon the facts,
and Messrs Markham and O'Brien will
have another conference today, at which
the plan will be discussed more in detail,
as officially Mr.. Markham, as city at
torney, has not had any notice of the fail
ure Of the city to pay its teachers.
The idea of an action in mandamus
against the city comptroller, which was
suggested early in the controversy, has
been abandoned by the teachers, 1t is
said, after consulting attorneys, on the
ground that the teachers claim is not
against the comptroller, but against the
city.
There is a question involved as to the
powers of the council, comptroller and
board of school inspectors, respectively,
under the law, which is open for argu-
ment, there being no dispute as to the
facts of the employment of the teachers
and their having taught the schools of
the city for thec time mentioned In the
pay roll. ,6-la
In the event of the failure to agree,
however, on. "a statement of the contro-
versy, the next step Of the teachers, no
doubt will be the bringing of an action
for their salaries.
The federation of grade teachers held
two hours meeting at the Central high
school yesterday in executive session.

MAY CARRY II HIGHER
ST. PAUL. GAS LIGHT COMPANY MAY
NOT ACCEPT THE DECISION
AS FINAL
IT RESTS WITH MR.. CUTCHEON

Possibly to Take the Case to the
United States Supreme Court
Question of Lighting for the Com
ing Year to Be Taken Up
Today Gasoline May suppIant
Gas.
There is a possibility that the st. Paul
Gas company will appeal from the deci-
sion of the supreme court in the opinion
handed down by Justice Canty Tuesday.
The decision holds that the city is not
liable for interest on gas posts which are
ordered out of service by the city.
Neither Attorney George c. Squires nor
Attorney Carl Taylor, who have repre-
scented the Gas company before the coun-
Gil, would say yesterday as to whether
the case would be appealed to the United
States supreme court or not. Both gentle
men explained that Attorney w. F. M.
Cutcheon had charge of the case for the
company, and just what would be done
would not be decided upon until word
had been received from Mr.. CUtcheon,
who was at present located in New York.
Corporation Attorney Markham hardly
thought 1t possible that the case would
be appealed to the United States sup eme
court The decision of Judge Bum in
favor of the Gas company had been re-
versed by the supreme court and the case
remanded back for new trial There
was nothing to try, however, in view of
the decision, and final judgment would
be asked for by the city. After the judg-
ha
might by certiorari appeal the case on the
ground that the decision interfered with
the constitutional right Of the contract
made between the state and the company
when the franchise was granted to 1t In
1856 and afterward ratified by the state
constitution.
Comptroller McCardy said the amount
saved to the city by the decision from
1897 to date would be about 4,T0O. In
his opinion the city could not recover for
the interest paid on dead posts previous
to that time, as the payments were made
voluntarily by the city. He thought the
decision was a starter as showing that
the exclusive franchise business would
not stand when the question was taken
to the courts in the proper way.
The board of public works and the cor
poration attorney were to have held a
meeting yesterday morning to consider
the gas and electric lighting specifica-
lions for next year and also to report a
plan by which the cost of lighting for
next year might be reduced. Owing to
the attendance of Corporation Attorney
Markham and his assistants in court the
meeting was postponed to this afternoon
at oclOck.
In connection with the plan for reduc-
ing the cost of street lighting City En-
gineer Claussen says it will be impossi-

In the United States circuit court. Former
Attorney General Childs consumed most
OF the day in arguing that the Duluth 81
iron Range land grant should revert to
the state. because, as he alleged, the
shortest and most feasible route between
the terminals had not been followed by
the road.
Gen. Childs claimed that the engineers
employed by the state in running a direct
line between Duluth & Iron Range
terminals had been able and conscientious
In the performance of their duty. Fur
thermore, he argued at length, that it had
been demonstrated that the road could
enter Duluth over the states line between
minnesota Point and Rice's Point, and
there was plenty of room and available
property for the construction of the nee
essary slips and docks. The approach
would be from the east over a trestle, and
there would be no difficulty In spanning
the st. Paul & Duluth road.

Bile to make much of a saving in certain
sections Of the city In sections where
there are gas lamps. however, it is pos
sible to displace seven gas lamps and put
in four incandescent gasoline lamps,
which would make saving of the
amount between $161 and $ll6 the latter
figure representing the cost Of four in
candescent gasoline lamps The engineer
claims that this would not affect the
lighting of the, sections of the city where
the change would be made, as the gas
lamps are of eighteen-candIe power and
the incandescents gasoline lamps sixty
candle power. AS an instance of where
the change would be to advantage the
engineer mentions Summit avenue, where
the gas lamps are located every sixty
feet. He contends that the avenue would
be as we'll lighted with gasoline mean
descent lamps every $50 feet
The matter will be discussed from all
sides at the meeting scheduled at the
office of the board of public works this
afternoon
