COAL BARON IN ST. PAUL
ELIAS ROGERS DISCUSSES PROB
ABLE PRICE OF COAL.

Elias Rogers, the millionaire coal mag
nate of Toronto. Canada, and president of
the Crows Nest Coal company, was in
the city for a few hours yesterday on his
way home after visit to the mines of
his company. He said that he did not
think there was a probability of the price
of coal rising higher this winter than it
did last year The price would, however,
be no lower, he thought.
The Crows Nest Coal company is max
ing preparations to greatly increase the
output of it's mines in anticipation of the
completion of the spur of the Great
Northern road, which is to connect with
one the coal company is building to the
boundary. When this line Is finished,
there will be a large American market
for Crows Nest coal, but there is no
chance of the Canadian supply being cur
tailed in consequence. The company has
almost unlimited deposits, and the output
need be limited only by the extent of
the demand.

A futile attempt was made TO elicit
from Senator Pettigrew an opinion upon
the alleged interview Of Charles A.

eyaded his beslegers and thus escaped
putting himself on record with relation
to the reported attitude Of his former CO.

political gossip from the distinguished
silver leader were equally Ruthless. Sen

journey and preferred to talk jocuIarIy
OF the advantages of the Alaskan climate

With reference to their trip to Cape

Butler expressed himself as entirely sat

SETS APART LABOR DAY
GOV. VAN SAINT ISSUES HIS ANNUAL
g, PROCLAMATION.

The following Labor day proclamation
was yesterday issued by Gov. Van SAINT:
1.-The legislature of our state having
designated the first Monday in Septem-
Der of each year as Labor day, and it
being desirable that the same be univer-
sally observed,
Therefore, l, S. r. Van SAINT, as gov
ernor of said state, in recognition of said
legislative act, and to the end that the
spirit and object of the law may be car
ried out, do hereby earnestly request that
on Monday, Sept. 2 A. d. 1901, there ne
a cessation of labor throughout the
state, and that all places where labor is
employed be closed. / especia tally recon-
mend that employers and employees CO.
operate with each other on said day with
view to promoting closer relations and
the greatest degree of mutual conf
dence.
'The conspicuous fact that the hands
OF toll are all busily engaged, that our
industries are in successful operation,
and that this is an era of unsurpassed
prosperity and progress makes it espe-
cially desirable that the day be observed
with hearty demonstrations and health
full recreation
The superstructure of organized socia-
ty rests upon the dignity and power OF
labor, and the fact that day is dedi-
Gated to the honor thereof is especially
gratifying
ION behalf of our state, and that the
day may be- made memorable, [ invoke

PRELATE FROM ITALY
RIGHT REV. BISHOP sCALABRINI
MAY COME TO ST.
PAUL
HAS ARRIVED AT NEW YORK
He Is Founder of Order of Priests
or st. Charles - Interested
in Italian Immi-
grants.

Right Rev. John Scalabrini, bishop of
Placenza, North Italy, and superior gem
efai OF the missionary order of st.
| Cfaries Borromeo, landed in New York
! a lew days ago. He comes to this coun-
| try chiefly to forward the interests of
ms rehglous congregation in behalf of
| the Italians who are under the spiritual
care OF the Fathers of st. Charles in
various cities of the Union, including
New York, New Haven, Conn, Kansas
| City, etc. He will remain in this coun-
| try until October
+ Father S. N Odone, of the Italian mis-
sion In st. Paul, has received no official
word of the coming of Bishop Scalabrini
to st. Paul, for the former is not a mem
Der of the Order of st. Charles. 1t is
rot improbable that.the bishop will visit
ST. Paul, however. for an invitation has
been eetxnded to him to visit Milwaukee
and there are more of his countrymen in
this city than there are in Milwaukee.
There are about $50 Italian families in
st Paul, scattered widely in different
parts of the city The majority Of these
families are from Southern Italy from
the provinces of SaIerno, Naples Cam
pobasJo, Aquila, Foggia, Cosenza Po-
tenza, Benevento and SaIermo, Sicily.
There are, too, a number of Tuscans from
the provinces Of Pisa, Lucca and Lfvorno
and very few families from Lombardy
and Ltgurta. The members of the Ital-
ian colony in St. Paul, as a class are
poor. The larger number are laboring
men employed with pick and shovel in
railroad building, sewer and eXcavating
work, while others are engaged in selling
fruit 81
few however, among the Italians of
st. Paul are. skilled mechanics, painters
sculptors and musicians Their place of
worship is in the. large chapel in the
basement Of the Cathedral where they
meet regularly every Sunday and on hoH-
days. Father S. N. Odone, the italian
pastor, is from Sestr;di Ponente, large
and progressive town on the famous
Riviera, about four miles west of Genoa.
He has been in this country about two
years.
Bishop Scalabrinf was born at Elmo di
Como, LombaTdy, in 1889, and was or
dained priest in 1863 He was made
rector of the diocesan seminary at Como
and then was appointed prior ofthe large
and important parish of st. Bartholo-
new In 1876 ne was made bishop of
Piacenza by Pope Plus TX. Piacenza Is
a noble and very ancient city on the
banks of the River Pc in Lombardy.
The diocese of Piacenza is very large and
numbers 365 parishes
Bishop Scalabrini is doubtless oneof the
most jealous and popular of the Italian
prelates.
He takes lively interest in the well
fare of the much neglected Italian immi-
grants to America and for the purpose
of better caring for their interests
he founded the order of priests of ST.
Charles.

constitutional and operates to cure the
lrreguIarity in the publication of the no.
tlce of sale of lands for delinquent taxes
for the year 1894 The tax sale under
said notice is valid, and the ce. tidcate of
such tax sale held by defendant is valid
and constitutes a valid lien upon the
property described. Defendant is entitled
to Judgment that plaintiffs have no relief
IN this action, and for his costs and dis
burSementS.
The curative act is valid and operates
to cure the irregularity in the publication
of the notice of sale. There was a notice
of sale given regular in every respect
except that it was not published on the
days designated by statutes 1894, section
1871. 1t was not published at least fifteen
days before the sale. But the notice was
published and pub ished six times, once
each day for week prior to the sale
AS the legislature clearly had the power
to prescribe originally a publication, such
as was actually made, it had the power
to cure the irregularity and make the
publication legal by passing a curative
statute. The decision will make refund
ment for that years sale unnecessary

OMAHA ROAD WINS
ST. PAUL MUST KEEP EDGERTON
STREET BRIDGE In
REPAIR
DECISION BY JUDGE BUM
Because Railroad Company Built
Bridge, 1t Does Not Follow
That 1t Must Main
tain 1t.

A decision was rendered by Judge Bum
yesterday in the case of the city of St.
Paul against the Omaha road in which
an application was made for a writ of
mandamus, compelling the railroad COM
pany to make certain repairs on the Ed
gerton street bridge.
By the decision the application for the
writ is denied, and the court holds that
the defendant is under no legal obIga-
ton to keep the bridge in repair
The decision is a clear victory for the
road and the city will be compelled to
keep the bridge in repair
In memoI andum the court SAYS:
1T is conceded, think, that if defend
ants title to the right of way acquired
by it's predecessors by the condemnat ton
proceedings began in 1871 and terminated
in 1876, relates back to the date of the
award of commissioners, it was under no
obligation to build and is not bound to
reapir the bridge in question. On the
contrary, If Edgerton street was dedicat-
ed prior to the date when defendant S
title accrued. the defendant was bound to
build the bridge, and is bound to main
tain it in repair.
Il think there is little doubt that de-
PENDANTS predecessor must be considered
to have been the owner of It's right of
way on Sept. g. 1871. find no authorities
against the proposition that title in con-
domination proceedings is acquired as of
filed.
Il see nothing to indicate that the pro-
ceedings were void as against the city,
because it was not made party or that
the title of the railway company when
finally acquired does not relate back to
the date of the award.
The time of the taking of property in
condemnation proceedings is the date of
the award.
'The defendant built this bridge be-
cause it believed there was a contract
that bound it to do so, and not because
it was under any other legal obligation
to build it. 1t cannot be argued, there
fore that the company is bound to main
tain the bridge because it built it."
The Edgerton street bridge has been
closed to publ C travel for about three
weeks, as it's condition would invite ac-
cidents for which the city would be liza

ACT IS CONSTITUTIONAL.
Delinquent Tax Legislation Upheld
in District Court.

In an important decision rendered by
Judge Bum yesterday, the curative act,
passed by the last legislature, relative to
the sale of lands for delinquent taxes, is
declared constitutional and valid, and a
notice given under its provisions consti-
tutes a lien upon the property involved.
The case was that of Charles McCord
against Thomas G.. Sullivan, the question
involved being as to the publication OF
notices for the sale of delinquent prop
erty coming under the delinquent list.
Before the meeting of the legislature
Judge Brill ruled that notices of publica-
tion of property that had not been ad-
vertiSed for fifteen days were tnvalidated,
and this meant that unless the law was
amended, vast amount of refunding or
ders would be issued. the result being
that the county treasury would be almost

passed, and the court holds it to be valid.

GAVE MONEY AWAY.
City Practically Donated Wagner
Estate $4,000,

According to a decision rendered by
Judge Kelly yesterday in the case Of the
Lumbermen's Insurance company against
the City of st. Paul, in which action was
brought to recover $1,000 awarded John
Wagner for the use of a culvert adjacent
to the Wagner estate, at the Seventh
street fill, the money was nothing more
or less than a gift.
In other words, the city handed out
$500 for which it has received absolute
ly no return
According to the court, the city had
previously acquired the right to the land
and culvert in question and it should
not have been included IN the property
condemned for the erection of the via
duct over Phalen creek, and which was
commonly known as the Seventh street
fill.
However. the money was paid to the
wagner estate, which fell under a mort
gage. and in seeking to foreclose the
same, suit was brought by otile company
to recover the $1,000 as a part of the es-
tate.
The case was tried before when it was
round that the insurance company had
no standing in court, because the statute
OF limitations was operative This was
the decision of Judge Kelly but the su-
preme court ruled otherwise, and the
case then came up on a motion of the cftv
for new trial, which was granted.

Uri Lamprey Wins Suit if He PAYS
Gage S62, 262

A decision was filed yesterday by Judge
Bunn in the case of Uri L. Lamprey
company, the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, and Russell Sage, in which
judgment is ordered for the plaintiff. Civ
ing him the lands in controversy, provid-
ing he pays defendant Sage the sum Of
SG2.262 within thirty days
In 1887 the railroad company which
owned large tracts of land in Otter Tail
county, entered into a contract with Mr..
Lamprey whereby he secured the option
on twenty-six parcels. and he proceeded
to sell the same.
In 1899 the defendant declared the con
tract forfeited, as to such lands, under
the contract as remained unsold and the
property and delinquent taxes thereon
was bought in by Mr.. Sage for the sum
OF $50, 900.
Under the ruling of the court, the con-
tract held by Mr. Lamprey is good, but
ne must redeem the property within the
time specified or forfeit his rights in the
premises.
