"nlch allowed the company the privilege
asked for, but which also contained a
provision to the effect that any teIeDbone
subscriber in the city of St Paul should
be allowed to talk with any other sub
scr1ber within the city limits without
having to pay any extra toll or charges.
rms clause was inserted in the ordinance
at the request of several of the alder
men who insisted that the CITY and citi-
zens OF st. Paul were being Disseminated
against by the company charging a toll
OF IL cents for telephone communication
with st. Anthony Park
COMPANY DID NOT LIKE IT.
When the ordinance passed the board
AID Murphy stated that the COMPANY
would not accept the measure, but those
who favored the ordinance said there
would be nothing lost, even If the COM
pany did not accept it, and If it did there
would be much saved to the citizens and
patrons of the telephone company. In
the meantime the company filed a like re-
quest in the assembly, and at a meeting
OF the committee on streets of that BODY
the question was raised as to the rights
the company had under franchises grant
ed 1t by the council to use any of the
streets in the city. c. D. O'Brien. at+or-
ney for the telephone company, contend
ed that the question as to the franchise
granted to the company in 1880 had moth
ing TO DO with the application to improve
It's long distance system, and suggested
that the request be granted and then the
matter of the company's franchise be
taken up separately
The members of the committed howev
er, did not look at the question I'm the
same light as the attorney for the com
pany, and asked the corporation attorney
for an opinion as to the rights of the com
rany under ordinances and franchises
granted them in the past In a lengthy
opinion Assistant Corporal ton Attorney
Gr1ggs held that the council could do as
it saw fit in the matter of granting the
request to the company for permission
to erect poles and string wires and could
impose upon the company reasonable reg
ulations in making further grants of priv
ileges to it. The assembly did not concur
in the ordinance passed by the aldermen
but referred the measure to the commit
tee on streets at its last meeting. The
telephone company, however, started in
to put up its poles along some of the
streets mentioned in the application filed
with the council, and word of this ac-
ton having reached the ears of the NAV
or, he asked the corporation attorney for
al opinion as to his rights in the mat
ter. Previous to his request for an opin-
ion from the legal department Mayor
Kiefer called on the police department

NATURAL GAS
And It's Many Advantages for Heat
ing and Cooking.

ing and Cooking.
The writer Yesterday saw a new inven-
ton. which when introduced, cannot help
but revolutionize the methods of heating
cook and other stoves. 1t is the Cham
pion Oil Burner, exhibited by David
Barnishel, for the Cleveland company,
and what 1t will do is surprising. The
principle of this burner is that common
kerosene is converted into gas; the oil IS
placed in a large can, which may be sta
toned a dozen or 100 feet away from the
stove. The oil is carried through a small
rolled pipe to the burner, which is set in
the fireboX and first heated and then as
fast as the oil flows it is converted into
gas which mikes with 80 per cent air and
10 per cent of carbon oil gas passing
through the burner and producing a long
super-heated blue flame of intense heat,
free from smoke and odor as well as
free from dust and dangerous gases
arising from the use of wood or
hard and soft coal. The combus-
ton being perfect, there is no waste
of fuel. When We add to this that
there is no danger, it is impossible not to
feel, as we see the intense flame circling
around the fiue, with the power to boil
so many pots that the cooking and heat
ing question has been dealt with in a
masterful manner.
Mr.. Barnishel is located in Ryan block.
L'f Last IO6NeillAl STREET, lOT a lew Gays,
where he will be glad to exhibit the in
Vention to any one. 1t may be put in any
stove without changing or damaging the
latter in the least, and after it is in will
heat the largest size cook stove or range
for less than three-fourths of a cent per
hour. Wood and coal, or even gas. in st.
Paul, IS too expensive for the average
housewife to burn. Oil is the best sub
stitute. as it has the advantage of wood.
coal or Illuminating gas, especially the
great advantage of economy with none Of
the disadvantages of wood or coal, and IS
just what is needed for comfort and eff
cacy, particularly upon these hot days.
The company is soon to put the burner in
the hands of agents, who will retail them
at about So apiece. To get them started
in this vicinity one may buy direct of the
manufacturer, free on board cars at
Cleveland, for half that sum for the next
day or two, during which time an agent
viii be appointed. Whether one wishes
to buy or not, it is worth ones while to
visit the store to see this ingenious inven-
ton.

arded to the mayor, was in part as fol-

[ have the honor to suggest that for
the reasons set forth in the opinion
recently given to the assembly committee
on streets, the Northwestern Telephone
company has mo right or permission to
erect poles or string wires on the streets
named in the report of the police DEPART
ment. 1t is perfectly clear that no ore
can proceed to erect line of telephone
poles on these streets without the per-
mission of the common council. This
permission no one has at present The

Manager Freely. Of the Northwestern
Telephone company, seen last evening,
said there would be no clash between the
company and the police so far as the
erection Of poles and wires was concern
ed. The company did not intend to take
any advantage Of the city nor proceed to

on the sneak without authority. What
the company desired was permission to

for a report as to the work which the
company was doing and was advised by
Patrolman Hughes that poles had been
deposited along Smelling avenue, between
Randolph street and Otto avenue, pre-
paratory to being erected.
Patrolman Mayer also reported that the
company had commenced the work Of
digging post holes at Selby and Smelling
avenue and were going to set new poles
from Selby avenue along Smelling avenue
to the fort. Several post holes had been
dug, the officer reported, and poles had
been scattered every hundred feet along
the avenue, and one of the worllmen had
stated that the work was going to be
carried right along. These reports, coup
led with the opinion of the corporation at
torney, settled the matter so far as the
mayor was concerned, and he issued or
ders to the police to prevent the tele-
phone company from doing any more
work until the council had granted the
necessary permission.
POLICE ARE NOTIFIED.
Chief Goss was advised Of the action
taken by the mayor at 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, the order being accompa-
MED by the opinion from the legal de-
partment to the mayor. Chief Goss, how
ever, was at the ball game at Licking
ton park and did not return to his office
until nearly o'clock AS soon as he
received the order he notified the several
stations, but by this time the crews Of
men employed by the telephone company
had quit work for the day and there was
no clash between the police and the tel
ePhone employees. Chief Goss, seen last
evening, said the police had been instruct
ed to arrest all persons engaged in the
digging of holes for telephone posts or
putting up the posts and officers would
be detailed today to see that no work
was done. c. d. O'Brien, local attorney
fo1 the company, seen last evening, was
greatly surprised at the action taken bv
the mayor, and particularly at the atti-
tude Of the corporation attorneys office.
There was an understanding, said MIR
O'Brien, between the second assistant
corporation attorney and myself to the
effect that the matter would be brought
before the courts if it was found neces-
sary to go into the court by Injunction
proceedings. 1 was not aware that the
company had commenced the erection of
any poles or wires, and if the work has
been commenced it is being done law

CITY Will RETAIN THE MONEY
HTDGE KELLY FILES A DECISION
AGAINST THE GHRMANIA
BANK
Suit Was Brought to Recover $5,-
27O.44, Amount of Certain Ger
tificates Assigned to the Plain
tiff.

Judge Kelly yesterday filed a decision
in district court sustaining the demur-
rer to the complaint in the case of the
Germania bank versus the city. The
court holds that the plaintiff has no cause
of action. The suit was brought to re-
cover $5,270.4 "A with interest at per cent
from Aug. u, 1892, the amount of certain
certificates of sale assigned to the plant
iff The sale was made on an unpaid as
sessnlent for opening and extending East
Third street from White Pear avenue to
the city limits The -plalatiff, asked to
have the amount paid the city funded, on
the ground that the city failed to COM
plete the proposed Improvement and be-
fore the property held by the plaintiff was
improved at all.
The court finds the assessment valid,
likewise the judgment, the sale and the
issuance of the certificates. There is no
irregularity claimed in the certificates
and therefore the court holds that the
bank has failed to show a proper cause
of action. In this regard Judge Kelly
says;
1.-The purchaser assumes all risks if
redemption is made he gets his money
back with a very high rate of interest,
if not he gets title to the land such as
the proceedings may convey. In the alb
scnce of statute there is no law requir-

Mayor Kiefer has started out after the
corporation, who, as his honor expresses
it, ''think they own the entire city gov
eminent" The particular corporation
which the mayor is determined shall be
governed by the ordinances and the char
ter is the Northwestern Telephone COM
pany. In order to carry out his ideas
Mayor Kiefer last evening directed the
police department to prevent employees of
the telephone company from digging post
holes, erecting poles or stringing wires on
streets in the city where the company did
not have authority from the council. In
case the company should endeavor to
proceed with the work of putting up poles
and wires against the orders of the chief
executive then the police are directed to
arrest the persons engaged in the work
Mayor Kiefer did not take the steps
without being backed up by an opinion
from the legal department as to the
rights and authority which as chief ex-
ecutive of the city he had in such cases,
and he was first advised that he was not
only supported by the charter and ordi-
nances, but it was his duty to act in the
premises. Some weeks ago the North
western Teleph@neoecompany applied to
the council foropeTmission to erect poles
and string wires on certain streets on the
outskirts of the. City The application
stated that it was the intention to center
the long distance systems of the Twin
Cities at Selby and Prior avenues, where
a building was stosbe erected, at a cost
of $4,000 for this purpose. The applica-
