Mr.. and Mrs. Charles GOrton.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gorton, living at
AZ Robert street, narrowly escaped being
smothered or burned while asleep short
ly before u o'clock last evening" when
their home was discovered to be on fire.
The couple was awakened by the OPP
pressive smoke and, half suffocated,
sought escape from the burning room.
Mr.. GortOn managed to find the stair
case and got out of the building safely,
but his wife was bewildered and fed
through a window to a front porch.
Flames were darling toward the woman
when the fire department arrived She
was carried from her dangerous position,
down ladder, to safety. In the excite
ment Mrs Gorton lost a purse contain
ing $50.
The fire started in the Gartung dairy
restaurant, 446 Robert street, doubtless
from Goals left in a stove. It burned
rapidly through the roof and spread to
the two-story frame building next door,
the upper floor of which was occupied
by the Gorton family. On the lower floor
L. Weisman conducted a tailor shop The
damage to the restaurant amounted to
$3.50. while the other building was dam
aged to the extent Of $780, Weisman s
stock was somewhat damaged by water

PASSED TAX BUDGET
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DISPOSE
OF THE SAME AS ORIGIN
ALLY DRAFTED
NO REDUCTIONS ARE MADE

Committee Stated That There Was
but Had Not Had Time to Point
1t Out-WiH Figure on Putting In
Cold Storage and Refrigerator
Plant for the Use of the City.
The board of county commissioners met
yesterday afternoon and passed the coun-
ty tax budget as originally drafted by the
county auditor, after a committee had re-
ported that there was a good chance for
reductions in the board of control esti-
mates that there was not sufficient time
to point out. 1t had been expected that
the committee on records would be ready
to report on the result Of the investiga-
ton of the county abstract Office but it
was announced before the meeting that
the committee would not be ready with
its statement until the next regular meet
ing Of the board.
All of the members of the board were
present at the meeting and a committee
of the board of control was on hand to
explain anything that the commissioners
might desire to know about the estimates
for the poor fund Secretary Johnson
read a report of the committee. compos-
ed of Commissioners Quehl and Lott, that
had been delegated to overhaul the board
of control figures. The report stated that
the committee was satisfied that a reduc-
ton was feasible but in view of the fact
that yesterday was the last day for pass
ing on the budget there was not suff1-
cient time left in which to draft recon-
mendations. This statement was receiv-
ed and filed, and the budget as originally
drafted was passed, as follows:
County revenue fund, $235, OOO poor fund,
$4,000; bond and interest fund, $36, $50;
roads and bridges fund, $4,000. Total,
1892, 49O
OF the amount set aside for roads and
bridges $500 by special resolution was des-
ignated for the construction and repair
of cycle paths. John Kerwin, of the
board of control, asked to be heard after
the action on the budget, and expressed
a willingness to answer any questions
or receive suggestions from the board.
The result was a desultory discussion on
the value of ensilage and the average
| yield Of potatoes to the acre.
A resolution introduced by Commits
Stoner Hardick was passed providing for
| d conference between committee of the
commissioners and the board OF control
to figure on the advisabil1ty of putting
in a refrigerator or cold storage plant
for the city and county hospital A res
olution appropriating $3.50 for fixing up
the dilapidated records in the abstract
office was laid over until the next meet
ing and the board adjourned until next
Monday at 10 a. m.

CATTLE CONDITIONS.
Charles l.. Haas, the Commission
Nam, Returns From North Dakota.

Charles L. Haas. of the Haas Commits
sion company, South st. Paul, has re-
turned from an extended trip through the
North Dakota cattle country and brings
back the information that the Western
shipping season will not open for fully
a month. This is due to the fact that
the late spring rains delayed the mos
quitoes and they have bothered the cat
tie to such an extent that they are not
finishing uD well and will not be ready
to ship as early as last season. Mr.. Haas
says that the COW and heifer stuff is IN
better condition than the steers and will
begin to move In about ten days.
Mr.. Haas found that there are manv
more cattle in North Dakota than last
year, but says that it is hardly likely
that any more will be marketed in the
cities This is owing to the fact that
feeders in Iowa are already in the field
and are buying direct. There Is everv
prospect of an enormous corn crop in
Iowa and the farmers and feeders from
that state are going to Dakota for their
/ cattle early, fearing that they NAV he
disappointed if they wait. as reports were
current that the cattle supply would be
short

committee an opinion as to the rights of
the company to the use of streets in the
city.
Several of the members of the commit

phone company have no franchise from
the city and that the ordinance passed
by the council in 1880 simply allows the

Aof, " no FaSSed Yesterday Fore
noon in st. PauI-Nevv Addition
Presents Architectural Problems
The present completed portion of the
new federal building viii be ready for
occupancy by next spring according to
j. Knox Taylor, supervising architect of
the treasury department, who spent the
forenoon yesterday in st. Paul He went
to Minneapolis in the afternoon. and
left last evening for Aberdeen, s. D.,
TO inspect the site offered there for a
new government building He will also
visit Fergus Falls and St Cloud, re-
turning TO st. Paul next Saturday.
The delay in completion of the struct-
ure was attributed by Mr.. Taylor to the
efforts made by the ST. Paul representa-
tives in Congress to secure the addi-
tional appropriation for the extension on
Sixth street. He was of the opinion that
if the building had been accepted and
completed under the original appropria-
ton the extension would have taken
years to obtain. AS it is the structure
Will meet all the needs of the govern
Taent for many years
The architectural difficulties presented
in the problem of making the addition
conform TO the main structure have
also been a factor in the delay, accord
ing to Mr.. Taylor As regards the main
portion, however, the chief clerk of the
treasury department is at present con-
sidering the matter of purchasing furni-
ture. The court room viii be finished
in mahogany, marble and oak, and the
decorations and interior finish will be on
a magnificent scale.
The work is being pushed as rapidly
as possible he said, reassuringly. The
bids for the construction of the extension
