Looking for the Owner.

Anton Lavack was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Officer Zimmerman and lock-
ed up on a charge OF larceny. He was
brought into municipal court, where his
case was continued until today.
1t is charged that during the forenoon
Lavack, in the postoffice lobby, picked
up an unopened letter addressed to the
st. Paul National bank, in which was
q draft for 1884, payable to George H.
Moore. little later he appeared at the
store of the Palace Clothing company
where he purchased a pair of trousers.
presented the draft in payment and asked
for the change Lavack, it is alleged,
represented himself to be Moore. His be-
havior excited the suspicious Of the poo
pie at the store, who sent out for a po-
liceman and caused his arrest.
When Lavaek was arrested the post
office inspection department was notified,
but after examining into the case the
United States district attorney decided
that it was not a federal case. The let
ter had been delivered to the bank mes
senger, which left the matter betw cen

Successful Years Close.

The trustees and members of. the At
lantic Congregational church, Bates ave-
nue and Conway street. held their annu-
al business meeting last night. Reports
were received covering the work of the
church during the year. Under the pas
torate of Rev. w. w. Lewis the church
has increased in membership and attend
ance at its services, and the annual re-
ports of the trustees and of the different
church organizations made showing
which gave the members cause for con-
graduation.
The chairman of the board of trustees,
A. I. HOllenbeCk, Presented the financial
report of the church, showing receipts
from all sources aggregating $1,96L17. EN-
penditures shOwedsthe same amount, with
unpaid pledges amounting to $3.50, ar
engagements for the payment of which
have been made by the individual holders.
The church has contributed to five of the
benevolent organizations of the denomina-
ton with special collections during the
year. The Christian EndeaVorefs report
ed a large increase in membership, with
an excellent financial showing. The La
dies Cooperative association has raised
$3.50 during the year, the larger part of
which was used in securing music for the
church services, and part Of which was
devoted to the organ fund. The Sunday
school reported q total attendance Of $500,
a substantial increase over any previous
year. and 28S larger than~in~ 1893.
In commenting on the condition of the
church and congregation, the pastor stat
ed that the year had been the most pros
porous which the church had ever seen.
The membership numbered $40, consid-
cradle number more than in 1888. No debt
remains upon the church, either on the
property or for running expenses, and all
obligations Incurred have been discharg-
ed promptly. and often in advance. Mr.
Lewis said:
1--WE are pleased with what we have
been able to do in the past year Our
plans for the future contemplate more
attention to the work of benevolent So
cieties and an effort towards increased
efficiency in all lines. This is the fourth
year of my pastorate and it has been the
most successful The coming year work
gives promise of good results. We are
noting a small but steady increase in
membership and attendance at church
services, which Is very encouraging
The board of trustees of the church
consists Of A T. Hollenbeck, chairman;
Geo. Hammond. secretary and church
clerk; A. E. George, treasurer; T. P.

Robertson Howard died suddenly yes
terday morning. in a carriage in which he
was being taken to the hospital. Death
was caused by erysipeas
For two weeks Mr.. Howard has been
ailing, but it was believed there was
nothing serious the matter. DR.. William
Davis was cafled in four days ago and
pronounced the case one Of mumps, COM
plicated with erysipelas. Mr. Howard
bravely struggled against his atlment, but
his condition continued to become worse
until one eye was closed with erysipelas
and the other was affected. Early yes
terday morning DR.. Davis was hurriedly
summoned and found the condition of his
patient TO be serious. DR.. A. ShimOnek
was called in for consultation, and the
two physicians decided to have Nj. How
ard removed to the hospital for an OPP
Grafton.
A carriage was called and Mr.. Howard
entered it accompanied by DR.. Davis,
Mrs Howard and son or the sick man.
Before the carriage had gone two blocks
from the Howard home, at 1GOa North
st. Adams street. Mr.. Howard epired.
Robertson Howard was fifty-three years
of age, and twenty years Of that time
was spent in ST.. Paul. His father was
F. r. Howard. M D., founder Of the
medical department, of the Georgetown
university, Westinghouse. c., In this
school the deceased took up the study
of Incidence and at the early age of
eighteen graduated and was given a di-
ploma. But he was, too young to prac-
tice, and; went to the University of Vir-
ginia, taking a special course in chemis-
try from an uncle. Completing the: course
in chemistry, he was for 9some years at
tached to the United States army as a
medical attendant, and was later con-
nected with the Washington Medical mu-
scum. -.
Eventually giving up the practice Of
medicine. he studied law and graduated
from tho law, school of Maryland, and
began the practice of this profession in
Baltimore Removing to st. Paul he be-
game associated with Judge Kerr. and
later was an editor for the West Pub
fishing company. Leaving this work he
associated himself with eX-Gov. MARSHALL,
and then with j. M. Gilman, and while
practtcing was appointed an assistant by
the then Corporation Attorney Darragh.
Leaving this place ne took up the prac-
tice of. law, but later abandoned this to
again accept a place as editor with the
West Publishing company. He was there
engaged at the time of his death. SO n7:
1t is likely that the body will be taken
to Washington, and there inferred in the
Congressional cemetery.
Mr.. Howard leaves a wife and family
of three sons and one girl.

CRITICS OF THE F1REMEN.
President Clark Wants to Hear What
They Have to Say.

They Have to Say.
''If there is any criticism to be offered
of the conduct of the fire board I hope
it will be presented to the board" said
Kenneth Clark, president of the board
OF fire commissioners, to a Globe re-
porter yesterday. 81 was not aware that
there had been any criticism offered. I
dld not see the fire last evening" but
was down there today, and it impressed
me that the department had done excel
lent work in combining the flames to that
portion Of the building. There are a lot
of people who can sit at home in a nice
warm room and do it the next day a
good deal better than the firemen did
out in the cold the night before. I've
noticed that. If there are anv lust
grounds for complaint the fire board
will investigate them"
Asked as to the suggestion that the
water tower might have been used to
advantage, Mr.. Clark said:
That's all rot. It never was anv
good, and is not of any use now"
''It has been said that there seemed TO
be difficulty in getting the water from
the street lines to those portions of the
building above the third story?" was
asked.
81 do not know how that could be-"
said Mr.. Clark. eve had our steamers
there, and there is one of them, at least,
which 1 feel warranted in saying could
throw stream clear over that building
There might have been some special con-
dition last night which made such a sit
uation as you mention possible, but
had not be en- advised of it. There was
in former years some cause for complaint
as to the lack Of water supply in the
wholesale district in case OF large fire,
but think that cause has been removed.
unless, as 1 say, there was some special
difficulty last night"

Il want te enter a protest against the
manner in Which the fire department was
used at these, fires. The Diamond plant
was allowed to, burn practically without
let or hindraReag until the entire building
and plant were destroyed, while the en-
tire fire department was engaged in
fire up town INVOLVING only one-third Of
a building, in which the fire walls pre-
vented its spreading farther. If the fire
had been spreading across the street
or endangeffngl large block of property,
it would have been proper to have called
out the entire department, and let the
rest of the city take chances for time,
hut the lower town fire last night was
certainly not of a. kind to demand the at
tention Of the entire department, to the
exclusion Of all the rest Of the city"

How Salaries Could BE Raised With
Lack of Funds.
At the meeting of the Joint city hall
and court house commission Yesterday
afternoon the question of raising the sal
aries of the janitors and elevator men
was brought UP by County Commissioner
Hardick. Some weeks ago the janitors
and elevator men petitioned the commits
sion for an increase of wages. The PEI
tttion was referred to the committee on
claims, of which Mr. Hardick is chair
man. County Commissioner Lott favor
ed the men having their salaries in
creased So per month and Mr. Hardick
seconded the motion. Mayor Kiefer in
terposed with the remark: 1--WE are short
now in the fund, you know, and how
can it be done"
Aid. Allard moved the increase be dis
allowed, and Assemblyman Nelson
thought an increase undesirable. Mr..
Hardick was unable to find the petition
presented by the men, and consequently
the matter was laid over until the next
meeting in order, as the mayor said,
that 'the members could acquaint them
selves as to the demands made"
Judge Of Probate BaziIIe sent in re-
quest that additional iron file cases be
provided for his office. The request
was referred to the committee on pur-
chases and supplies, Mayor Kiefer re-
marking: "There can't be a meeting of
this body without some request from

1t will be its home for several years to

Will not be a mere makeshift, but a

a German club, it IS understood, will
furnish one room that will be used for
German literature only. 1t is probable
that one or two other nationalities may
do the same. Aside from its efforts to
get all the women Of st. Paul interested
in the matter, the Century club will con-
tribute sum of money, the amount
not yet decided upon, toward the sub
scriptton. Other clubs may desire to
do the same, but this, Of course, has
nothing to do with the general subscrip-
ton plan. AT the meeting held at Mr..
Auerbach's residence Tuesday night both
the representatives from the Womans
Civic league and the New Century club
were enthusiastic over the new plan, and
there is no reason why 1t cannot be
successfully carried out by the women

him with the proposition that they would
vote for the resolution giving his depart
ment SIS, 600 to care for the garbage pro-

that I would absolutely control the Sc

Members Of the board of aldermen seen
