Senator Ebsrhart Will Be Interested
in the New Enterprise.
MONEY T0BE RAISED FOR CONCERN
Meeting Last Night Discussed the
Plans at Some Length, Sub
scription List Circulated.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Some twenty five OF the leading bust
ness men of the city held meeting at
the office of Senator A. o. Eberhart last
evening to see. what could be done to-
ward placing General Gustav Widell up
ON his feet again and have him operate
the quarry that he has made famous
The meeting was very unanimous upon
one point, aid that was in the desire
to have General Widell again operating
the klondike quarry All realized the i'm
portance to MankatO to have this quarry
in operation, with the big pay roll that
this means.
1t was stated that about $4,000 is
needed to keep the men paid up until re-
turns come in from contract work, and
that really about $4,000 should be rails
ed to put the quarry i'll satisfactory
condition. The quarry, with its equip
ment could be purchased for $50 900. and
if $4,000 more was had for the pay OF
the men the project could be carried out.
company would be organized by General
Nidcll. Senator Eberhart and Others to
take the lease of the quarry, with the
view to purchasing it as soon as possible
1t was thought that the best plan OF
making lease was to pay royalties on
the stone taken out and to pay rent for
the equipment. which alone is valued at
$4,000. In case the quarry was pur-
chased. the amount paid in royalties
should 90 part payment ON the quar-
rN.
The gentlemen consulted together, and
the plan proposed was approved. 1t was
decided to raise $4,000 to be loaned to
the company at six per cent interest
on notes to run from several months to
IL year. With ii good season, the COM
pany might be able to pay. them all of
in year. A subscription list was made
out and $4,000 was pledged, in amounts
from $500 to $500 each.
1t is desired that the matter be closed
up as soon as possible. and General Wi
dell would like to 90 to Chicago tOmor-
row to secure contracts for railroad work
for the coming season. This is the time
when these contracts are let. For this
reason it is desirable to close the matter
up at once.
Mayor Taylor. who was chairman OF
the meeting last night, has taken an ac-
tive interest in the matter. and today he
spoke to others with view to getting
additional subscriptions. The amount
subscribed today ran up the total to
about $4,000, and no doubt tomorrow
the full amount can be raised.
The reopen;ng of the quarry under
General WidclPs management will be
good news to Mankato

FIRE IN LAW OFFICE.
Jay Henry Long Suffers a Loss of
$50.

From Mondays Daily.
A blaze occurred at the law office OF
JAY Henry Long yesterday afternoon,
that, but for being discovered early,
might have had disastrous results.
When Mr.. Long went to dinner. he built
up the fire in his wood stove. and clos
ed the stove door, as he supposed In
some manner, perhaps because stick
of wood fell against it. the door be-
came opened, and it is thought that
sparks flew out Mr.. Long uses tie two
rooms adjoining his Office as living
rooms, and it was in the sitting room
that the stove is located. He had drawn
his bed through the folding doors from
the bedroom into the sitting room. close
to the stove, so that she could lie on
the bed and read the Bible" as he
states.
When Mr.. Long returned an hour al
ter leaving his office, he found the
rooms so filled with smoke that he
could not enter He called out the
central station firemen. and they re-

way in and put the flames out with
chemicals They found the stove door
open and the bed afire, and surround
ing objects either blazing or blistcring
from the heat Had Mr.. Long returned
fifteen minutes later than he did. there
would have been Il bad fire. and his 81
900 law library would have been ruined.
As it was. it took some time to put the
fire out. and the feather bed that was
pla ced over the hair mattress had to
be taken out and pulled apart. The
feathers. as well as the hair mattress,
made a thick smudge.
Mr.. Long places his loss at $50,
which includes his bed and damage to a
book case and case for blanks. He
carries $500 insurance en- his goods
and library. of which 500 is with the
County of Pennsylvania and $500 with
the Citizens of Mankato. The building,
