NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Case of KIughsrz VS.. Chicago. Mil.
Wausee & St. Paul

The supreme court has granted a new
trial in the case of Henry Klugherz VS..
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way company. 1t was asked for by the
company. The syllabus is as follows:
A railroad company was unloading a
gravel train standing upon track which
formed curve adjacent to its depot
grounds. The unloading was done by
means of a pillow at one enc of the train.
propelled by a locomotive at the other,
connected by steel cable which was
kept over the cars by means of pulleys
and stay-ropes fastened to the sides of
the car on the outer line OF the circle
While in operation, one of the stay ropes
broke, releasing the cable, which struck
respondent, who was standing near the
depot, causing injury. Held:
First. If respondent was upon the
premises in good faith in pursuance of
the purpose of meeting for business con-
sultation person whom he had reason to
believe was to take train, the company
owed him the duty of ordinary care in
conducting the unloading operations.
Second. 1t was error to instruct the
jury that if respondent was upon the
premises for a lawful purpose at the
time claimed, appellant owed him the
duty of ordinary care.
Third 1t was not error to receive
evidence as to manner of starting the en-
CINE, and in regard to the character OF
the rope for such use.
Order reversed and new trial granted.
Lewis, j.
The jury gave the plaintiff verdict
of 81 600 at the first trial.

HEARING is SET.
Effort Made to Have Street Along
Lincoln Park Vacated.
From Saturda y's Oaily

Lillian B. Morehart and Azelle NJ.
Smith have petitioned the council to
vacate Grove street between Broad and
Fourth streets. This is the street that
runs along Lincoln park on the north
side, between the park and the property
OF the petitioners, who, if the street is
vacated, will get the land, or at least
half of it.
The reason alleged for the vacation OF
street is that it is not now and never
has been travelled for street purposes, be-
ing narrow and rough and stony, and
that it is unnecessary for such purposes,
as Lincoln street runs almost in the
same direction.
The hearing ON this petition has been
set by the council for July 18th.

BADLY WRECKED.
Prompt Work Needed to Save the
Cable Mill Bridge.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Alex Bashaw visited the Cable mill
bridge yesterday to see whether he could
save it. He states that he has seen
seven wrecked bridges but that this is
the worst that he has ever seen. The
bridge is heavy span of $50 feet, rest
ing on two stone piers, one at each end.
The water during the recent freshet
washed out one of these piers to such
an extent that the only thing that now
supports one end of the bridge is one
stone eighteen inches square at one end
of the pier. The approach has been so
much washed out that the end of the
bridge stands twenty feet above the
ground, and there is a whirling mass of
water at the foot of the pier that is con-
stantly washing the sand out. A hole
has been made in the sand so deep that
Mr.. Bashaw was not able to find the bot
tom.
Mr.. Bashaw states that he thinks that
he could save the bridge, but would not
guarantee to do so. Prompt work will be
needed.
L. H. Johnson, the Minneapolis bridge
contractor, will visit the bridge tomor-
row, and meeting of the county board
will be held Monday, when some definite
action will be taken.

majority of those so afflicted are women
and the cause can generally be traced to
female weakness. often of long standing
and frequently unsupported. "My health

houses in the city there is great waste
of water that would be corrected by the
use of meters.
Aid Plymat said that the use of me-
tiers is no longer debatable. The mat
ter must be taken up soon, and he didn't
know why the time was not ripe at this
time He moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the committee on waterwOrks,
the city attorney and board of public
works, to ascertain whether there Is
a way to adopt the meters and report
al the next meeting. This was carried.
| A good meter costs $3.50, according
tc Mr.. Forbes.
Storm Sewer Ordered.
| Aid. Kleinschmidt for the sewer COM
mittee moved that the board of public
works construct a storm sewer on Fourth
street from Walnut to Mulberry streets
and on Mulberry to Broad street. This
was carried without discussion.
Aid. Plymat said that number of au-
| tomobile owners desire to be heard in
regard to the proposed new park ordi
nance. At his suggestion the considera-
ton of the ordinance was deferred until
F, the next meeting.
| The park committee reported that it
had completed the building at Highland
, park, and it looks neat.
Park Superintendent Blake reported on
the manner of construction of the bath
houses in the twin cities. The build
ings are not expensive. In the cities, a
| laundry is run in connection with the
| bath house, and there is a lady and gen
| tleman attendant The principal ex-
pense here would be in regard to the
suits. He thought that a bath house
| &c by II feet would be large enough.
The bills were taken up under suspen-
sion of the rules and were allowed, and
| the council adjourned without complet-
| ing the order of business, which will be
resumed Monday night.
| The bills included one from L. o. Ran
dali for S25l.S0 for labor and expenses
in visiting number of counties of the
state for the purpose of listing mortg
lagos held by Mankato men. The pay
roll for the past two weeks amounted to
! 81 ,249.S9, of which S6O5.Sl was incurred
on the streets, S36O34 in cleaning sewers,
s206.5O in park work, and $56.0l in
waterwOrks repairs.

Owatonna, June 20-When the state
placed Mrs. Henry Stahmer, who lives
OH Cedar street, ON the stand to testify
in the Krier murder case, something of a
sensation was created. She lives near
the spot where the murder was commit
ted. She testified with much positive
ness that she saw Henry Nelson going
through her premises on the afternoon
of April l3, the date of the murder. She
was close to him and was certain there
was no mistake.
Mrs. Strahmer had not seen Henry Mel
son from the date of the murder until
Wednesday, when she attended court
and at once recognized in one of the de-
PENDANTS the lad she had seen near the
scene of the crime.
County Attorney Littleton commenced
his plea to the jury about eleven o'clock
and had not finished when a recess
was taken at noon. He will be followed
by w. F. Sawyer, also for the state, and
then the attorney for the defense will
close the arguments.

Water Meters.

Mr.. Forbes, representing the National
Water Meter company of New York adj
dressed the council in favor of placing a
meter at each house. He said that it
was a business matter, and meters are
being generally adopted. 1t is the only
way to avoid injustice. The city's coal
bill of $4,000 of last year would be cut
in half. In some places two-thirds is
saved. A better fire pressure is also Sc
cured where there are meters. 1t will not
cost the city anything to have the me-
tiers put in, as the consumers can be re-
quired to put in their own meters. The
city can sell the l49 meters which it
owns for $4,000, for which it could set
ali the meters in town. A minimum rate
o. So for water could be charged, for say
200 gallons. He said that in Mankato
the difference in rate charged small and
large consumers is not large enough.
The rates are twelve and ten cents,
while in other places they are 25 to 40
cents for small consumers and 5 to 6
for larger ones, per 1000 gallons.
AID Kleinschmidt said that he thought
that Mr.. Forbes was right The city
would save water and get the same
amount of money as under the faucet
system. 1t was something that should
be looked into. Unless this is done, a
new well will have to be put down at
large expense.
President Porter said that the board of
public works was convinced that the only
true way to save water is by meter.
c. z. Musser said that he has used a
meter for seven years with eight taps,
and the rate has not been above fifty
cents a month. He knew that in many

Der of wooden sidewalks, and ordering
new walks laid was presented by the
street committee and adopted.
A resolution was adopted establishing
the depth of the curb ON Center street
from Clark to Lewis streets at eight
inches. This will insure uniformity.
A resolution was adopted, establishing
the width of the roadway on Center
street from Lincoln to Lewis streets at
thirty feet. This as well as the prev
ious resolution was presented by the
board of public works.
The committee on fire department
recommended that the shacks back of
the Mrs. Frescholtz and F. X. Meagher
property on South Front street be re-
moved as, soon as possible.
City Attorney Daley said that they
could be removed if injurious to health.
Aid. Plymat said that this could be
shown, as it would make anybody sick
at the stomach to look at them. How
ever, it might be that the property own
ers will take them down or repair them.
He moved that the matter be referred
back to the committee to consult with
the property owners. This was carried.
Taxes Increased.
The committee on taxes offered a res
oiution making the tax levy for next
wear, as follows: Current expenses, $l2,-
800; roads and bridges, $4,000; interest
OH bonds, $4,000; park fund, $4,000;
library fund, $4,000; sinking fund, $500;
local improvements, $1,000; to pay
floating Indebtedness, $4,000; total, $780,
600.
Aid. Plymat said that the levy is S5,-
900 higher than last year, but that this
was made necessary by a falling off
of two or three saloon licenses, and the
levying of money for the local improve
ment fund and to pay floating indebted
ness, for which no levy was made last
year.
Park Superintendent Blake said that
unless more is levied for parks some
of the work ordered will have to be drop
ped.
Aid. Kleinschmidt remarked that the
work would have to be dropped, in that
case
The resolution was adopted.
Aid. Mckinley said that there are CON-
plants that the city market is filled with
empty wagons, etc. 1t was voted that
the market be cleared, so that it can be
used for the purposes for which it is in
tended
Aid. Schroeder moved that the matter
of the removal of buildings from city
properly in block fifteen be referred to
the board of public works with in
structions to remove the buildings, which
belong to Mic Petersen. The motion was
carried 1t was feared that the city
might lose the property through ad-
verse possession unless the place is clear
ed of buildings.
