N. P. CROP REPORT.
WEATHER CONTINUES FAVORABLE
ALL OVER THE WEST.

The third crop report to be issued by
the Northern Pacific Railway company
shows that the recent frosts did very
little harm, and in some localities they
were of positive benefit to the wheat
Only garden truck and early vegetables
were damaged, and these to a very small
extent.
From the Minnesota division the reports
are very encouraging, and the agents
seem to agree that prospects were never
better. On the St. Paul-Duluth division
the frosts are reported to have retarded
somewhat the planting CT corn and po-
tatoes, but the warm weather of the past
two or three days has made the outlook
as bright as ever.
In the Dakotas the planting of all small
grains is reported completed, and work
on corn Is progressing rapidly. The hay
crop is of excellent Quantity and quality,
West of Medina to Dickinson the wealth
er has been very dry and the farmers
ere becoming apprehensive In some in
stances they have postponed seeding until
rain arrives. In one or two of the dry
est sections, the land planted with gra n
has been plowed up and reseeded.
In Montana the season is we'll advanced
and soil contains plenty of moisture. In
some places the frost did considerable
damage to cherry plum and pear trees.
The apple trees were not damaged.
Idaho, Oregon and Washington are all
experiencing good weather, and experts
say the prospects We're never so favor
able. Spring wheat is up from three to
five inches, and fall wheat is almost
twice that high. For other grains the
prospects are quite good.

CITY BRINGS SUIT.
COURTS TO DECIDE WHO SHALL,
PAVE EDGERTON STREET
RRJnGE

The question as to who will pay for
the repaving of the Edgerton street
bridge, now closed to traffic because Of
the fact that it Is in a dangerous condi-
tlon-the city or the Omaha Railway
company-over whose tracks 1t passes
will be decided by the courts
Tired of waiting for anything definite
from the railway company, mandamus
proceedings We're yesterday commenced
In the district court, the papers being
nled by the corporation attorney The
hearing has been set for the afternoon
Of the 18th, and on that date the repre-
sentatives of the company will be asked
to be present and show cause for their
continued refusal to act in the premises.
The flooring OF the bridge last week
became so dangerous, owing to the ap-
pearance of many holes, that City Engf-
neer Claussen ordered it closed and its
entrances are now barred, much to the
inconvenience of the residents in that To-
cality.
Another controversy that will shortly
be heard in the courts is that one con-
corning the bridge passing over the
tracks of the Great Western on South
Robert street. The road does not repu-
date it's liability in the matter, but con-
tends that the street railway company
should share in the expense. Dangerous
holes also appeared on this bridge, but
they have since been repaired by the
street car company

Million DOLLAR HONE |
CONDUCTORS DISCUSS FEASIBILITY
OF BUILDING ONE FOR DIS
ABLISD MEMBERS
ALLIED ORDERS TO ASSIST
Inmates to BE Supplied With
Best of Everything and Given
Chance to Enjoy
Themselves.

The conductors in convention assem-
bled yesterday afternoon had up for con-
sideration a question of great inn
portance, one which shows better than
anything else the strong bond of fra
ternal feeling that exists between the
Order of Railway Conductors, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. The proposition was not one
to form an executive joint committee of
the organizations named above to adjust
differences of the future, but to build a
magnificent home for disabled con-
ductors, fremen, engineers and trainmen
at Highland Park, Chicago, where the
present home is now situated. The
structure is an old one and by far too
small to accommodate the needs of the
orders connected with 1t. Though there
are only some forty or fifty men who
live in the present institution they are
treated like princes and get the best of
anything. To illustrate. 1t can be stated
authoritatively that each division of the
o. r. c. pays out from $50 to 500 each
year for the institution and there are
40 divisions. This makes between $50, 600
and $4,000 Then there are the other
orders to take into consideration. 1t Is
not known how much they contribute.
but it is presumed they give proportion

Court Notes.

In the probate court yesterday, Judge
Bazille allowed the account of A. B. Hew-
lit and A. K. Barnpm, former admins
traitors of the estate of Allie Hewitt. J.
D. O'Brien who succeeded them as ad-
n1isistrator objected en- the ground that
$500 had been collected by the executors
and credited to their account. 1t was
shown that the property from which
this money had been secured had been
decided to Mr.. Barnum by Mrs. Hewitt
before her death.
Three Indictment and one mo bill were
returned by the grand jury yesterday
morning. Harry Schett will have to
answer for non-support, the charge be-
ing brought under the new law making 1t
a criminal offense. Jerry Mccarthy Is
charged with assault in the second degree
while Henry Smith will have to answer
for larceny
In the district court, suit for SANDER
has been commenced by John j. Bakula
against the City Railway company. He
demands $500. The plaintiff says that ne
was on a street car with a friend and
when the conductor appeared, paid mis-
fare. Later another fare was asked for,
and when he refused to pay 1t, the con-
ductor called him dead beat.
In the case of Albert Steinbarer against
Charles Stone to recover for material
furnished in the construction of some
bridge piers, heard in the district court,
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.
The damage was assessed at $1,O76

ENGINEERS AS HOSTS.
Conductors Given Ride Up River to
Minnehaha Falls.

Minnehaha Falls.
Yesterday was B. Of L. E. day for the
conductors and the excursions up the
river to the Soldiers home and Mime
haha Falls were enjoyed to the utmost.
The steamer Lora and barge left the
foot Of Jackson, street at 8 o'clock In
the morning packed with people from
one end to the other. The steamer re-
turned to St. Paul about 1 o'clock for
the remaining delegates who did not 90
in the morning, and pulled out at 2
o'clock.
On theloutbound. trip. there was no band
to enliven the occasion, but on the trip
home there was and, dancing was In
order. At one time cake walk was
played and two little girls entertained
those aboard with some very clever
dancing. The girls were eight or nine
years old, looked like twins, and were
dressed in the same kind of clothes, and
had jaunty little jockey caps. One OF
them carried an umbrella. Both were
graceful, sweet-faced, and entertaining.
An amusing incident on the trip was
when some small boys in scows on the
river rowed into the big swells back Of
the steamer. 1t looked as if they would
surely be drowned, for every now and
then they would disappear in the hollow
of a wave only to appear again and the
men on the decks of the steamer cried
out to them some in warning and some
in approval. One boat almost tipped
over.
When the boat arrived at the Soldiers
home the visitors took the pathway
leading up the hill and walked to the
vicinity of the falls, where tables were
set in readiness. The meal was heartily
enjoyed and three rousing cheers were
given for the entertainers. AS soon as
the meal was over the trip was made
back to the city Everyone was much
impressed with the beauty Of the
grounds around the falls, and also, with
the menagerie there. Much time was
spent watching the seal in particular,
and the little girls who were present
were highly delighted with the way it
f1oundered about in the pool that has
been made for 1t.

.F|REMAN'S WIDOW WINS
MRS. LILLIS p. IRISH TO RECEHVH
$1,000 FROM RELIEF AS
ISOLATION
MEMBERSHIP NOT NECESSARY
Judge Kelly Holds Money Derived
From State Is Primarily for
Disabled Firemen or
Their widows.

To be participant in the fund that the
state sets aside for the relief of sick, In
Jrred or disabled flrensen and the reim-
bursement of widows and orphans where
death comes in the performance of duty,
does not necessarily demand that the
fireman concerned should be a member
of the relief association.
In an opinion handed down yesterday
Judge Kelly so holds, and in consequence
the st. Paul Fire Department Relief as
scciation will have to pay over to Mrs.
LiDis P. Irish, whose husband lost his
life in the fated Midway fire. the sum
of $1,000. When the life of Burtram P.
Irish, an active member of Company Is,
was plotted out, his widow demanded
Of the association the amount later
given her by the courts. It was refused
on. the ground that her husband had
never been member of the assocla-
ton.
The relief association has in charge
two funds, a special fund" as general
fund" and it was from this that Judge
Kelley drew his opinion. The latter
fund is accumulated from initiation foes
and dues, while the other comes direct
from the state, It being secured by the
leVying OF a tax on foreign insurance

This fund now amounts to $4,000 From

fused to reimburse Mrs. Irish.

lowing explanation accompanies the opin-
ion.
"The special fund in defendants hands

disabled f1remen, their widows and or
phans, and for such other purposes as

DEEDS NOT YET FILED
COUNTY HAS NOT SECURED TITLE
TO TARBOX SITE.

The deeds to the Tarbox property
which the county has made arrangements
to acquire for Jail site purposes, have
not been filed with the register Of deeds
as required, and consequently the money
for the property still remains in the pos
session of County Auditor Johnson.
While somewhat peculiar, in the f1ee
of the fact that assurances were given
that there would be no delay, yet County
Attorney Kane does not anticipate any
hitch. The mortgages have been practi-
caIy taken up, while the required re-
leases of judgments against the property
have been secured. He was Informed
yesterday that all the tenants Of the
buildings on the plat would be out this
week. Some Of them are out now.
Any hitch that may occur is credited
to the $4,000 bond which is to be fur
nished by the owners. Before sale was
made the commissioners demanded that
everything should be to the satisfaction
of the county attorney. Attorney Kane
was never quite positive as to the right
of the St. Paul Title. and Trust com
pany to furnish title bonds in view of
the fact that it has practically surrcn-
dered this part of its business, and If he
still adheres to this doubt. the bond will
come from the Minneapolis concern IN
stead This, it is thought, will only cause
a small delay.
