SUNDAY NIGHT BRAWL
DissracefuI Scene Enacted ON the
Way from Church.

A somewhat amusing, as we'll as dis
graceful, affair took place on Lawrence
avenue Sunday night as the streets were
thronged with people going from church.
An irate brother, made irate through the
influence of a disappointed lover, attempt
ed to interfere with his sister and her es-
cort, who were returning from church. In
the brothers attempt to jerk the escort
away from his sister a general scramble
occurred in which the accepted lover, the
disappointed lover the irate brother, the
girl, three pug dogs and a cat all engag-
ed. No blood was spilled in the encounter,
butHa great deal of bosterous talk and
profanity disturbed the tranquility of the
Sunday evening pedestrians on their way
from religious worship.
After the preliminary encounter the big
brother of the girl raised his voice to a
bravado pitch and said: 'Ill see that you
catch it for going with that dirty whelpi
Just wait till you get home! And dad'n
make it warm for you, too" turning to
the girls escort.
well, I'll let you know I can take care
of myself" squalled the Infatuated girl.
while to the rejected lover who caused
the trouble she turned and fairly Kissed:
You dirty whelp, you are just mad cause
I wouldn't go with you BAIL I wouldn't
wipe my feet on you. Oh, you dog! You
devil! I could tear your hair out!'
Wow! Vow The cat had by this
time concluded to get mad, too.
There came gentle remonstrances from
those who were passing, and after about a
ten minutes harangue of the rejected
lover by the girl, all quieted down and
the brother and the rejected lover left
the scene. The furious girl had a relapse
after the excitement left her and began

ANNUL THE FRANCHISE
City Attorney VIII Bring Suit
to Discontinue Privileges of
STREET CAR CONCERNS
Old Cars VIII Probably Be
Taken Off Soon.

Councilman Cuban introduced in the
city council last night a motion author
izing the city attorney to begin proceed
ings at once in the district court annulling
any and all street railway franchises ex-
listing in the city. This motion came
cilmen, but after Mr.. Cuban's explana-
ton as to what il meant the motion was
supported unanimously, and City Attor-
ney Helm will proceed at once to shut out
every existing claim that may by any
method be brought against the city. The
old Bachelor franchise and the later
Church franchise, which by default was
forfeited, will thus be done away with,
and the city will, by direct process Of
law, regain full and absolute possession
of the streets While the question was
being considered the clerk read some COM
munications from the Church people ask
ing for reconsideration of the act Of the
council which took up the forfeit of $4,000,
and promising TO begin work Immediately
in case the council would agree to refund
the money on completion of the street
railway, but the communications were
given no consideration.
Mr.. Cubban said he had investigated the
legality Of the proceeding covered by his
motion thoroughly, and it was the opin-
ion of all the attorneys that the action in
the district court would be final and COM
plete and after that the city would be
in possession of its streets and would be
free to either sell it's franchise to people

railway.
One of the well informed councilmen
said last night after the council adjourn
ed that in all probability the street car
service would be dispensed with within a
few days, unless the company should pro-
coed at once to put on better service and
better cars. At present, he said, the COM
pany was operating the system under
mere lease or permit, which could be shut
off at any moment.

All work on the new 500 line freight
terminals in North Minneapolis has been
suspended indefinitely. There is a pos
sibility that the whole plan may be drop
ped permanently.
This Is the situation in which the 500
line finds itself owing to the attitude of
the city council. After investing several
hundred thousand dollars In the venture
the road finds itself unable to proceed be-
cause the city council has not yet vacated
certain cross streets which are necessary
A 500 official said yesterday:
II do not see how we can do anything
but drop the whole matter. Those streets
are absolutely necessary to the establish
nlent of the terminals. We do not ask any
more than has been given to other roads
These streets were cleared for the North
crn Pacific, free of cost, but when the 500
line wants them the privilege Is refused.
L am at loss TO understand the position
of the aldermen. This is the first time it
has been intimated that the 500 Is not en-
titled to fair consideration by the city,
AS a matter Of fact the city council has
not declared itself upon the petition for
the vacation of the streets desired. At the
present writing the matter rests In he
hands of he joint council committee on
railroads and roads and bridges.
Some three or four weeks ago the joint
committee decided to recommend that the
petition be granted, but that report has
never been submitted to the council, al
though several meetings have been held
since the committee came to this decision.
1t is understood that the joint commit
tee is withholding its report for fear that
the necessary two-thirds vote cannot be
secured to vacate the streets wanted. 1t
requires eighteen votes to yacate a street.
and hose In favor of granting the petition
are not sure of more than sixteen, or at
the most seventeen.

STEAMSHIP DISTURBANCE.
Many of the Lines Are Dissatisfied
With Distribution of Business.

The report that the Elder DempsteN
line of steamships had withdrawn from
the North Atlantic pool was yesterday
confirmed. Other lines are contemplating
the same step and the agreement govern
ing Storage business Is broken
considerable dissatisfaction exists among
the Eastern railroad lines and Chicago
st. Paul roads regarding this state of
ocean business and arrangements regard
ing through rates. The withdrawal of
the Elder, Demp5ter interests, controlling
nearly half of the North Atlantic irnmi-
grafton business, will have the immediate
effect of unsettling rates on all other
lines, parties to the agreement; reacting
upon the roads III conjunction with which
through business had formerly been
transacted. The opinion prevails that no
matter what agreement is reached at tic
meeting to form a new immigra ton
agreement among the Western roads it
will not become effective in settling the
present difficulties. The work Of the New
York clearing house, supposed to care
for and distribute ocean business among
the central and Western roads and to
route business according to agreement, IS
criticized in both railroad and steamship
circles. The work of routing immigra-
ton Is carried on much according to the
wishes Of the routing agents and many
of the Western roads suffer In conse-
Quence.
