MONEY FOR PAVING
CITIZENS ARE REGISTERING FEW
OR NO KICKS AGAINST PRO-
POSED IMPROVEMENTS
LAST YEAR IT WAS DIFFERENT
Only Differences of Opinion This
Season Appear TO He Over
Material to BE EN-
plOyed.

One year ago the announcement that
a street was going to be paved would
have found dozens of property owners
in attendance upon the beard of public
works protesting on the ground that the
street was all right and they could not
stand the expense. Yesterday hearings
on four streets, Robert Minnesota, East
Summit and Beaumont, were called by
the board, but from the handful that
responded not an objection was heard.
There are now pending before the
board preliminary orders calling for the
paving of nearly five miles of streets,
and in each case postal cards have been
sent to the property owners whose hold
ings abut the thoroughfares involved.
In some cases there are protests, but
they are so few that they will have little
effect in stopping the proceedings
through to the end
In the half dozen paving contracts let
this year, brick and sandstone are speci-
fled in only one or two Of them and this
fact has started the brick men on a still
hunt among the property owners along
streets ordered paved, to see if they can
not convert them over to the use of
either stone or br.ck. In fact the rivalry
is so keen that it has started merry
war on West Seventh street, which it is
proposed to pave with sandstone Last
week the local agents for the asphalt
companies started petition going and
now the council is confronted with a list
of several hundred names asking that
asphalt be used. One demanding brick
is expected in a few days
Fielding & Shepley 50 far this year
have been alone in the brick and sand
stone field, but the story is common that
company of local capitalists is being
formed that will shortly make a bid fer
this class of paving. he company is
backed by an Iowa paving brick concern

QUITS THE BUSINESS.
Mrs. Wagner Had Unfortunate En-
perfence With Advertising scheme

Action has been take by the postal au-
thOrities prohibiting the further delivery
of mail matter to the National Supply
company or the Wagner Supply company.
Both of these names, it is said, have
been used by Mrs. Teresa Wagner, who
has occupied rooms at 180 East Seventh
street, and is charged with having ly
means of advertisements carried on a
business through the mails which is con-
trary to law.
The attention of the officers Of the oos-
tai department was first directed to the
National Supply company, which adver-
tised to furnish pleasant home work at
Temunerative compensation upon appli-
cation. 1t was learned that applicants

covered that by so doing she was violat-

HARD FOUGHT CASE
ROTH SIDES IN BALY SUIT PUT UP
A STUBBORN CON-
TEST s.--
PLAINTIFFS CASE UNDER WAY
Effort to Prove That MOtorman Did
Not Properly Handle Car
at the Time of the
Accident.

In the suit of Amelia Baly against the
st. Paul City Railway company, which
is on trial in Judge Otis court, sutii-
cient progress was made yesterday TO in
dicate that every point of the case VIII
be stubbornly contested on both sides.
and that the court is inclined to allow
as much latitude as possible in the adj
mission of testimony, to the end that all
phases of the question at issue may be
presented
Mrs. Baly demands at the hands of
the railway company 5000 as damages
for the death of her husband, who was
run down in front of the postoffice by
Saltwater interurban car July 81 last,
and was so crushed and mangled under
the wheels of the car that his death was
almost instantaneous.
In opening the case for the plaintiff, ID.
w. Lawler discussed the superior con-
structiOn of the cars used in the Still
water service at considerable length,
with the evident desire to impress upon
the jury the utility of the various applt-
ances for governing the movements Of
the cars and the ability of the operatives
to control the cars. He said that the
plaintiff expected to prove that the
motoneer of the car in question did not
at the time of the accident fully under
stand the careful handling and perfect
control of the car.
The first Witne ses called were F.. j..
Baly, son, and Mrs Baly, widow, of the
deceased, who testified to Mr. Baly's age
and to his place of residence, and to the
fact that he was in the habit of visiting
the city and must have known the dam
gers of crossing the street tracks
William P Darmody, a letter carrier;
William H. Egan, proprietor of the New
York Tea company; r. K. Armstrong,
of the firm of W. J. Dyer & Bro; Nick
Pottgieser; Erick Larson, janitor at the
postoffice, and John Kemp, compositor at
T h e G o b Office all testified to haV-
ing seen the accident and related the
circumstances as they noted them. Mr..
Egan and Mr.. Kemp both said that the
car was going very fast.
Late yesterday afternoon Dow Smith,
superintendent of the St. Paul division
Of the street railway line, was examined
as to the manner of operating the Still
water cars and the time schedule upon
which they were operated at the time OF
the accident. Mr.. Smith stated in reply
to questions from Mr.. LaWler that, in his
opinion, one of the Saltwater cars run
ming at the rate of eight miles or less
an hour, on a clear track, under circum-
stances otherwise favorable, could be
stopped still within its own length, which
is forty-four feet. He was then asked
if he would say that car which, under
these circumstances, ran farther than
ming faster than eight miles an hour.
but would not so answer, saying it would
depend upon what precautions the mo-
tOrman had taken to stop the car.

AT the annual meeting of the st. Paul
Congregational union, held last night at
Plymouth church, Rev. Sampel g. Smith
retired from the presidency of that body

and J. D. Humphrey was elected to sue
eeed him. Rev. A. McGregor was re-
elected as vice president, and Rev. j. H.
Sammls as secretary. c. W. Clark was
elected treasurer to succeed w. b. Glow.
Supper was served by the women of
plymouth church at $50, after which the
time until the opening of the meeting
was spent in social intercourse The busi-
ness session was preceded by devotional
exercises, consisting of singing, reading
of scripture by Rev. George NJ Morrison,
and prayer by Rev. w. j. Gray.
Rev. J. Fl. B. Smith addressed the meet
ing on Some Aspects Of Our Work. un-
der which head he discussed the local
mission work done by the union. His
discourse showed that much good mad
been accomplished in the line of mission
work, but that there is a large field to
be covered and work still to be done
Judge Grier M. Orr, of the municipal
court, spoke on the subject of Crime
and Criminals in st. Paul" presenting in
a practical aspect facts which have come
within the scope of his official experience.
Much of the n after which he presented
already been published in the columns of
T g G e. but it was essential to his
discourse in illustrating points which he
desired to set forth Discussing crime in
general way Judge Orr said that his
views had greatly charged since he be-
came municipal Judge He had learned
from his experience that all criminals, or
al who are classed as such, are not
wholly abandoned to vice of ali sorts.
One point upon which Judge Orr laid
great emphasis was the necessity of a
house of detention, where those VINO are
not irreclaimably criminal may be placed
to be protected from themselves and their
tendencies over which they have not suf-
fcient control, and from their evil asso-
Citations. One such institution he thought
would be sufficient for both St. Paul ana
Minneapolis, if it were advantageousIy
located.
Toward the close of the meeting Rev.
S. G. Smith explained his reasons for de-
clining the preferred nomination for re-
election. He said that he considered this
necessary from the fact that his resigna-
tion of the chair had been followed by

a silence which might appear ominolls.
1t might be construed as meaning tha /.
his efforts as presiding officer had not
been satisfactory or that he had ceased
for some reason to be interested in the
work Of the union AS to the first of
those possibilities he could not say, but
as to the latter he could and would say
that he was as deeply interested as ever
in the work of the union and felt that it
would have a prosperous year The
union had had many things to contend
with during the past year, but he thought
it had successfully coped with its difficult
ties His reason for having declined re
election was that he had work in connec-
lion with the state mission and the asso-
ciated charities which would so fully oc-
cupy his time that he could not properly
