APPLY FOR A FRANCHISE
NORTHERN MANUFACTURING COM
PANY REVIEWS IT'S EFFORTS Be
FORH THE ASSEMBLY
HAS THE NECESSARY CAPITAL
System of COnduits Sought to- Be
Laid for New Heating and
Power Plant in
ST. Paul

The Northern Manufacturing company,
a concern with Eastern capital and local
officers, whose application for a heating
and power franchise was rejected by the
board of aldermen some months ago, will
try again" A request for the use Of
the streets in which to lay pipes and
conduits was filed with the assembly last
evening.
The fact that the company would make
an effort to regain what had been denied
to it by the aldermen was chroniced in
the G o b some days ago, and material
lied last night to the extent of the in
production of the request by Assembly
man Wheeler.
F. NJ. Catlin is one of the local repre-
sentatives, and he denies the report cir
culated at the time the franchise was
asked that the company was not re-
sponsible or that it had no capital He
says there are ample resources.
The ordinance granting the franchise,
and for which passage is asked, is
practically the same as was turned down
by the board Of aldermen. 1t gives per-
mission for the laying of steam pipes in
all the streets in the district bounded
by Wabasha and Broadway on the east
and west and Second and Ninth on the
north and south. By it's terms the COM
pany is to install a complete heating and
power plant and lay one-half mile of pipe
in the streets by Nov. 1, 1868. A bond of
$4,000 is promised for failure to do the
work agreed upon. The company is will
ing to conform with the per cent pro-
visions of the charter.
In view of the fact that the gas COM
pany's charter will expire in 1907, there
is a decided reluctance on the part of
some of the members of the council to
give franchises of this character until
that date, when companies from all over
the United States wiA be invited to COM
pete. Some of the members hope to Sc.
cure the franchise for the practical
free lighting of the city.
The promoters Of the Commercial and
Endicott buildings on Sixth street, who
were refused heating and lighting
franchise some days ago, win also make
another effort. Representative Of the
gas company were present last night,
evidently being made aware of the pres
ence of the proposed ordinance The
question of granting will be fought out
in the committee on streets.

rio Cortez, the Mexican arrested in the
mines above Laredo, after long chase
on the charge of having killed two sher-

Glover and Schnabel were killed. and
says he used his rifle along with the
others.
The total rewards offered for Cortez

are six claimants. The arrest proper was
made by State Ranger Rogers and Dep
