He must give just credit to other de-

Property Owners Divided Between
Brick and Asphalt Paving.

property owners on Rice street, be-
tween College and University avenues
appeared In force before the board OF
public works yesterday. There is a d.
vision OF sentiment among the owners
as to the kind Of pavement to be laid,
especially between College and University
avenues. The board of public works
has advertised for bids for the paving
of the street from College avenue to
Front street with brick, but notwith-
standing this quite q number Of owners
are insisting that asphalt be put down
between College and University avenues.
A petition signed by seventeen owners
representing 1,225 feet, asking for asphalt
was presented to the board yesterday.
Julius Bjornstad declared that as a
property owner who favored asphalt he
could not understand why the entire
board should be so in favor of brick
pavement. Why not give the property
owners what they want?"
President Pottgieser pounded briskly
on the table with his gavel at the re-
marks of Mr.. Bjornstad, and said: II
will have to call you down on that If a
majority Of the owners want asphalt
they can have It, but 1 know that 25
OF the owners are in favor of brick
Mayor Kiefer, whose name is not on the
petition, told me today that he favored
brick"
The petition asking that brick be laid
on a concrete foundation between the
two avenues was produced, and sure
enough there were twenty-five signers
to it. The petitioners for brick pave
ment represent 1861 feet, as against /, 225
for asphalt The board took the matter
under consideration.
The clerk was directed to advertise for
bids for paving with brick Ninth street,
from Broadway to Locust, and Wacouta
street, from Seventh to Ninth street.
The city engineer estimates that the paw
ing of Ninth street to a width of thirty
two feet will cost $3.50. or $4.93 per front
foot to the property owners. For paving
Wacouta street the engineers figures are
81, OS6, or $3.50 per front foot to property
owners.

the bridge over the Great Northern
tracks to Dale street, ten feet on each
side OF the street. The council will send
a preliminary order to the board of pub

as to the proposed Improvement The
plan of the park board is to widen the
avenue so as. to make a parkway from
R1ce street 20 the Como avenue parkway
which now begins at Dale street. The
avenue west Of the bridge, however will
be improved first, and when this is done
the board have an idea that the eastern
part can be widened with less trouble
There are about 5.400 feet on both sides
of the avenue between the bridge and
Dale street. The question of damages
which will have to- be paid for the land
to be taken is one that will cause some
trouble. Some of the owners will gladly
give the necessary ten feet to have the
Improvement. while others declare they
must be paidg 1t lis estimated that the

that the proposed park will be the most

brought out to the best advantage.
The Commercial club notified the board
that the Glib had presented a fountain

HELP rHE oARNrvAL ALONG.

While the weather conditions are not
ample reason for going ahead with the
arrangements for the winter carnival in
st. Paul. With the exception of the
winter of 1890, conditions of temperature
have always been for many years past
such as to secure a fairly extended period
of outdoor winter sports In this section.
1t is not at all likely that the arrange
ments OF the new Carnival association
will have been made in vain.
Our people fully realize the delightful
possibilities Of the winter season in MIN
nesota, and especially in the larger cen-
tiers of Minnesota population. Good
health and good cheer are possible In
vastly greater measure here than they
can be found during the winter in places
where the climatic conditions are milder.
1t is not just or fair to- our people that
no public steps should be taken to make
the opportunity for outdoor enjoyment
generally available. The Carnival asso-
citation IS based on this very proper view.
Our young people of both sexes are anx-
ious to have all the enjoyment which is
possible through winter sports. The car
nival movement which has been inaugu-
rated will give them that opportunity
1t is intended for the city's gain as well
as for the qualification of it's own peo-
pie. 1t will undoubtedly draw visitors
from all over the state and to some extent
from all over the country to the city, and
will help to render st. Paul as popular
as winter resort as many of the South
ern cities are popular with those whose
precarious condition of health compels
them to seek warm climates.
There IS no consideration. either Of the
city's welfare or of the general we'll
being. that does not appeal to the ordi-
nary good citizen i'll bespeaking his active
cooperation in the work which has been
inaugurated by the Carnival association.
There should be just as much enthusiasm
in contributing to the carnival fund and
to the purchase of the emblematic but
tons, which will soon make their appear
ance, as there was toward purchasing
badges to promote the return of the men
of the Thirteenth. The consideration of
local public spirit and patriotism is as
fully involved.
The success of the movement must de-
pend on the people themselves. They
Will be the beneficiaries. The movement

all. The people of st. Paul. will render
an enduring service to the city, and
promote the public well-being in the
highest measure by extending their I'M
stinting support to the movement for a
winter carnival.

TRYING ORDEAL.
Wife and Mother of MoIineux Were
Subjected to 1t.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-In the trial of
Roland B. MolineuX, today, William J.
Ainsley. the handwriting expert, was
again cross-eXamined by Barlow S.
Weeks. No other witness was examined
during the day. The evidence was tech
nical, in the extreme. Though Mr.. Weeks
asked many questions that seemed to an
noy and embarrass the witness at times
on the whole he was unable to shake the
position of the expert, or to induce him
to waver in his contention that Molineux
wrote the address on the famous poison
package.
Molineux's wife and mother were both

recess they had a most trying expert

every individual in 1t seeming to be pos
sessed Of a wild desire to be within
reaching distance of the pretty young
woman and the sad-faced mother Final
~, with the assistance of a policeman,
the trembling women were talf-dragged
through the crowd to the broad marble
stairs. Even then the crowd did not de-
sist, but followed and pressed them, peer
ing into their faces and commenting upon
their appearance. The two women finally
escaped into the street and, with Gen.
Molineux, were driven hastily away
On account of this rude ordeal the
women refused to return to the court
room during the afternoon.

LABOR GRIEVANCES.
They Were Aired Before Federation
at Detroit.


DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 18-The various
grievances Of bodies connected with the
American Federation of Labor were aired
In executive session today. Before going
into secret session, under today's special
order, the convention listened to an ex
tended debate on the long mooted ques-
ton OF permitting membership in the fed
Grafton to persons affiliated with the
Knights OF Labor. The matter came up
through report of the committee on
laws recommending reference to the
executive council of a resolution offered
by the National Union of Brewery Work
men, declaring that, since the Fedora
ton had prohibited the brewery locals
from holding membership in the Knights
of Labor, and since other trades unions
locals affiliated with the Federation are
still amalgamated with the knights of
Labor:
Resolved, That the convention pass a
law, according to which no member Of
any trades union affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, directly or in
directly, shall be allowed to hold mem!
bership in the knights of Labor"
Some Of the New York delegates OPP
posed drastic action on account Of the
harmonious relations between the local
unions Of both classes, especially in New
York city. A few others wanted such re-
lations left undisturbed, but most of those
who spoke opposed the resolution.
President Mahon, of the street railway
employees, argued that the brewerymen
asked only what was fair in applying such
prohibition to other trades as well as
their own. Mahon asserted that the
Knights Of Labor in the past few years
had brought no benefit to the street rail-
way mems organization, and that such
relations had been only harmful to them
