2 THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1888. SAINT PAUL. CHIT CHAT CORNER. Editors of Minnesota will make lively music at Harmonia hall in Minneapolis Thursday at noon, and the following morning they will inaugurate a pleasure trip over the Soo road. Maj. T. M. Newson, chairman of the excursion committee, has announced the pro- gramme, which will include a visit to Merriam Park Friday, the 7th inst., when luncheon will be partaken of. At 2 o'clock the party will board the train at Minneapolis for Sault Ste. Marie and are expected to reach that the morning Of the Sth. A cordial reception is guar- anteed the visitors, and their stay will be made pleasanter with a grand ban- quet in the evening. After exhausting the beauties of the Soo, Gladstone and Bhinelanderwtti be the objective points of the tourists, and the special train, .after traversing 9SB miles, will return to Minneapolis some time during the 10th inst. * Two ladies who were passengers in an East Seventh street car yesterday afternoon attracted considerable atten- tion by assuming side-saddle attitudes and occupying space enough (or three persons. It was an hour, too.when sev- eral tired day laborers were in the car, and while the two ladies discussed neighborhood topics the horny-fisted sons of toil hung on by the straps, at- tentive but disgusted listeners. One indignant passenger could not restrain his Impatience and contempt, and blurted out: "The railway company has i o right to allow so many to ride in the cars. It should furnish a separate compartment for each passenger, up- holster the seat with silk plush and sur- round it with a glass case. By such an arrangement the space to be occupied will be definitely determined, and the range of a person's feet circumscribed •when they sit side-saddle fashion.'' # * * An opportunity will be offered viators to the state fair to express their prefer- ences for presidential candidates through the medium of the new ballot- recording machine recently invented by John W. lMiines. of this city. The •machine will be on exhibition in •machinery ball, where space for its Workings have been donated by the fair managers, and thousands will be en- abled thereby to test practically a con- trivance which the inventor claims will effectually prevent ballot box stuffing. The voter, after the lid of a square ma- bogony box Is raised, merely touches a button which contains the name of the candidate for whom he desires to vote, and this button cannot be removed until the lid is replaced, thereby re- lievivg the ratchet which detains the button. Figures are recorded on small Slips of paper, and without collusion between all the judges and voters fraud Will be absolutely impossible. * * The agricultural exhibits at the State Fair give promise to excel anything of the kind yet seen in Minnesota, or even the Erreat Northwest. There were twenty-two carloads of machinery on the track yesterday morning en route for the fair grounds, and five carloads of buggies and carriages. The latter •will be found replete with all the latest Improvements for comfort and ease in road traveling. William M. Bushnell, •superintendent of the department of agricultural machinery and motive power at the fair, will be at the grounds this afternoon and to-morrow and the, whole of Friday and {Saturday, to complete all arrangements with exhibitors. He will also arrange the placing of goods for the opening of the exhibition at 9 o'clock Monday morn- ing. The engine which will supply the whole of the motive power for working tlie exhibits will be started by electric- ity, and the ceremony will be performed by William M. Bushnell, Jr., a mite of less than twelve months old. The stage of water in the Mississippi river is at present so low that it is im- possible for the larger steamers to run up to St. Paul. Managers of the St. Paul Packet and Diamond Jo lines have made arrangements with the steamer Clean to transfer their passengers and freight from Hastings to St. Paul, Hast- ings being the highest point now reached by their boats. The owners of the < lean report that the St. Croix river is very low, and they are no longer able to make their customary trips with lumber and wood from above Stillwater. The \u25a0steamer Pittsburg came up as far as Hastings yesterday, her cargo being transferred to St. Paul by tiis Cleon, while the passengers finished their jour- Bey by rail. » * The state capitol was almost totally deserted yesterday, as from Gov. Mc- Gili downwards the cry was "He's at the Merchants." Auditor Braden, In- surance Commissioner Shandrew and Railroad Commissioners Becker and Austin were among the notable excep- tions so far as the heads of deportments Mere concerned. The rest might have be?n seen, "just In a promiscuous way, you know," putting in some quiet work among the delegates to to-day's Bepub- lican convention. . "WILD FLOWER DKCOUATIONS Predominate at a Summit Avenue. Reception. A pretty and enjoyable reception was Riven yesterday afternoon by Mrs. W. D. Cornish at her home, 540 Summit avenue. The house was decorated with wild Bowers, golden rod and water lilies predominating. Seibert's orchestra, concealed behind a flower-covered screen in the hall, filled the air with music. The refreshment table was temptingly spread on the broad piazza to the east of the house sad was pre- sided over by Mesdames E. S. Thomp- son and George Sanborn.

BEFORE THE COUNCIL Estimates for the Support of the Fire Depart- ment. Experts on Geese Feathers Display Their Qualifi- cations. Indefinite Postponement of the Elevated Railroad Ordinance. Economy Must Be Practiced in the Matter of Gas Bills.. Last evening the city council was no sooner in session than Aid. Gehan moved that the adoption of the Bnoa Elect ri'.* Bailway ordinance be indefi- nitely postponed— a course which the aldermen agreed to without demur. Mayor Smith forwarded a communi- cation calling attention to complaints concerning the difficulties encountered by captains of transient steamboats in effecting a landing at the several docks in the city, and to the necessity for locating the wharves and providing for their proper management. "Section 4, article 55, of ordinance of the city, pro- vided for the discharge of passengers and cargoes of transient boats at the public levee free of charge, but the mayor is informed that permission to land was refused Capt, John Jeremy, of the steamer Kuby, by the agent of the Keokuk Northern or Davidson Packet company, who de- manded $25 for the privilege. Also, Capt. Jeremy recently attempted to land on the west side of the river, oppo- site Jackson street- and was attacked by the occupants of flat boats, who drove him away at the points of revolvers." The committee on streets will inquire into this matter. Michael Lynch, who was recently fined *25 for attending a dog tight said to have taken place at Uanilinc, peti- tioned the council for remission of the the fine. He said he was not at the fight, and claimed to have been con- nected with it owing to the fact that certain parties were present with his horse and saddle. The matter was re- ferred to the committee on police. Palmyra Manufacturingcompany pro- pose to place a Prosser noiseless and smokeless locomotive on the street-car tracks of St. Paul, for thirty days, early during next month. This is longer than the council have granted the company in a previous ordinance, and the com- mittee on streets were instructed to de- cide whether the application shall be granted. St. Paul Bicycle club requested per- mission to have a parade of city wheel- men on decorated wheels. Wednesday evening. I2tb inst., and also asked for a guard of mounted police to head them. Referred to the committee on police. From Aug. 4th to Sept. 3d 037 male dog licenses were issued at $1.05, and 39 female dog licenses at $3.05; total, $1,1113.40. The board of fire commissioners fur- nished the following statement, show- ing appropriations needed for the fire department for the year ending Septem- ber, 1888: Salaries, $171,300; feed, $7,000* fuel, $B,ooo' engine house repairs, $2,0 0; replacement of hose, $2,500; apparatus repairs, $2,000; water tower, $5,000; ad- dition to No. 2 engine house for water tower, $1,500; fire alarm telegraph, $3,000; maintenance, $21,000; lot, build- ing and -equipment for chemical engine and book and ladder truck for St. Anthony Park, $25,000; building and equipment for one steam fire engine company to be located at the corner of Bedford and Bradley streets. $40,000; fire alarm telegraph supplies for above new plant, $5,000; maintenance for new plant, $15,000; total, $308.000. Dora Wollin's claim of $652.50 for damage to personal property, etc., in basement of brick building. West St. Paul, was reduced to $328.25. and granted. The claim included $150 for five feather beds. Aid. Kavanagh— they live geese feathers? Aid. Fischer— Well, they would be dead geese feathers, I should think. [Laughter.] ;'. An ordinance was proposed granting permission to the Minnesota Natural Gas, Oil & Fuel company to erect build- ings for storing natural gas. and to store natural gas therein, and to lay pipes for conducting gas through the streets, avenues, alleys and lanes of city of St. Paul. '? •\u25a0\u25a0": -"•--. X><Z- Aid. Minea understood this was an entirely new ordinance, there being some additions to the one previously be- fore the council, and he proposed that it be referred to the committee on streets. The aldermen decided otherwise, and the ordinance was read on its final passage. Aid. Cullen explained that this ordi- nance was in no wise exclusive. It simply gave the company power to enter the streets of St. Paul, and the city was guarded perfectly in every respect. Aid. Fischer— have we not grant- ed the exclusive right to some other company? Aid. Cullen— Yes; but the ordinance ha- expired and the company left the city. Aid. Kavanagh— They could not -find the gas. [Laughter.] Aid. Sanborn— l am informed that a resolution was passed extending the ex- clusive right to that company until Jan- uary next. . Aid. Yoerg—That is a fact, and the resolution was passed at the last meet- ing of the old council. .1. W. Hall, representing the Minne- sota Natural Gas company, explained that if the council passed the ordinance his company could not operate until a resolution of the aldermen was adopted allowing them to do so. The exclusive privilege granted to the other company would then have expired. The ordinance was unanimously passed. The bid of Corlies, Chapman & Drake of $1,305 for 500 election boxes, or $2.73 per box, was accepted, this being the lowest bid. Committee, on gas having received proposals for lighting such streets, al- leys and public grounds, etc., with electric lights as may be ordered from time to time by the council, recom- mended that the offer of the St. Paul Gas Light company to supply arc lights St 57 cents per night for all-night serv- ice be accepted, the said contract to be based on 100 or more lights. ' vrv ' Aid. Kavanagh was opposed to this, adding: "I think all the lights on East Seventh street ought to be withdrawn, and that there is no need to provide light to farmers* homes." [Laughter.] Aid. Cullen was of the opinion that instead of increasing the number of electric lights they should reduce them. Aid. Fischer said if they agreed to in- crease the electric lidhts th^gas-lights should be abolished. Aid. Kavanagh— l think the flush times of the past three or four years are about over, and it is time we cut down our expenses, and we might as well be- gin with this gas bill. Aid. Yoerg proposed: "On and after Oct. 1 all electric lights upon all streets and masts, excepting those in the parks, be ordered discontinued." Aid. Ilamm hoped that the resolution would not pass, ami moved that it be re- ferred to the committee on gas. This was agreed to by a vote of 11 votes to 5, and the recommendation of the commit- tee was referred back. Citizens of Macalestcr having made the request, the mayor was authorized to appoint a patrolman for that district. Council passed an ordinance allowing $8,000 for illuminating the city during the state fair, Aid. Yoerg explaining that $2,000 was required to purchase globes, as last year 4,000 were broken. COLD WATER ADVOCATES Will Nominate a Complete County Ticket. The primary meetings for the elec- tion \of delegates to the Prohibition county convention were held last even- ing In nine of the eleven wards of the city. The primaries were from 8 o'clock until 10, and in most instances were in remote sections of the wards— usually in the residence of some enthusiastic advocate of temperance. The primaries were not largely at- tended, as primaries go, but the aggre- gate showed that there are enough cold water votes to make a considerable dis- play, if .they do not cut a great figure in future campaigns. Each ward In the city is entitled under the basis of repre- sentation fixed upon by the Prohibition . committee to six delegates. The Pro- hibition clubs are allowed two each. In this city there are twenty-three Amer- ican clubs and eight or ten Scandina- vian Prohibition organizations. Thus the roster of the delegates that will as- semble on Thursday morning at- 10 o'clock will show about 190 names. The convention will assemble in Be- lief hall and is for the purpose of of nominating a county ticket. On Sept. 15 the Prohibitionists of the city will have a grand demonstration, to ratify the nominations to be made on Thurs- day, and the state and congressional nominations which have already been made. PARADING FINK CATTLE. An Attractive Feature at the State Fair. One of the features of the State Fair; which will begin next Monday, will be the parade of live stock on Wednesday, the t9tfc inst. All horses, cattle and other animals that can easily be moved will be brought out to give all present an opportunity of seeing them outside of the barns. Six hundred of the finest horses in the country, several herds of Shetland ponies, and over 500 head of blooded cattle of every breed will constitute the display which will be one of the most imposing sights of the fair. The parade will start at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning and will occupy about one hour. The live stock exhibit this year will be the finest ever seen at a state fair, although it is feared that there will not be enough room in the present building to accommodate all the applicants for space. In ad- dition to the regular exhibition of stock, several herds of fine cattle will be on the grounds to be sold at public auction Thursday and Friday. These will in- clude Holsteins, Herefords and fine Welsh cattle, besides small groups of animals of different breeds. FIORD-LAND MEMORIES Cherished by Hosts of Patriotic Swedes. Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the landing of the Swedes in America was the object that called a large assem- blage together in the office of the Skaf- faren yesterday afternoon. 11. Stock- enstrom .was chosen chairman of the meeting, and stated that the 14th in- stant had been set apart for the cere- monies, which would take place at Minneapolis. It was decided to charter a special train for the occasion, and it was stated that upwards of 1,000 Swedes of this city intended to participate in the celebration. Necessary arrange- ments were perfected, including the engagement of a band of music to head the procession from St. l'aul, which will be under the marshalship of Alfred Palmquist. The following committees were appointed: * ':\u25a0'- \u25a0.-.-: Arrangements 11. Stockenstrora, chairman; John Bodin, Louis Swan- strom, Andrew Larson. Louis I*. John- son, 11. N. Boose, H. O.

Judge Simons filed a decision in the case of Alphonse Hurch against Nicho- las Bemminger, in which the demurrer to the complaint was overruled. This was a libel suit, in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages from the de- fendant for causing letters to be sent from a so-called bad debt agency. The defendants demurred on the ground that the charges were not specific. The court holds that is this case specific charges were not necessary. \u0084-. '"..: Judge Simons yesterday tiled an order sustaining the demurrer in the case of Paul Martin vs. John H. Falster. John A. Book vs. Samuel Bliss was the title of a suit filed in the district court yesterday, in which the plaintiff seeks to recover $513.12 claimed to be due on a bill of goods. The Chase National bank began suit against E. F. Osborne & Co. yesterday to recover 8275.81 on a promissory note. lost its sweetness: Assignment of a Prominent Sugar Rennet*. Samuel Bliss, the sugar refiner and wholesale dealer, whose establishment is at 403 Sibley street, made an assign- ment under the laws of Illinois, Mr. Bliss being a resident of Chicago. Yes- terday Sheriff Bichter replevined 400 barrels of sugar to satisfy a claim of Harrison, Eraser & Co., of Chicago, and other attachments are expected to fol- low, under the supposition that this as- signment in Illinois does not affect goods in St. Paul. Nothing definite is known as to the amount of Mr. Bliss' liabilities or assets. The assignment was made to 11. W. Woolslcy. Oliver S. Musser is the manager of Mr. Bliss' business in St. Paul. STREET IMPROVEMENTS Authorized by the Board of Pub lie Works. The board of public works held a meeting yesterday and awarded the following contracts: Grading Gaultier and Albemarle streets, Thomas Lin- nan, $0,200; grading Milotn street, James Xavanaugh,- $5,930; building sewer on Louis street and Summit place, Stockton & Llndquist, $-?.:'74: grading Osceola . avenue, James Kava- naugh. $0,400; sewer on -University avenue, George Leech, £16,521. Several street grades and openings were re- ferred to the council. Abating a Smoke Nuisance. Formal complaint has been made against James McCullen and Ed Mc- Ginnls for violating the smoke ordi- nance, caused by the smoke from the electric light works on the corner of Cedar street and College avenue. The company promised to abate the nui- sance and asked for time in which to obtain the necessary appliances from the East. It seems, however, that they have either failed to secure the ap- pliances or else the latter do not give satisfaction so far as the residents in that part of the city are concerned. Pulling Street Pests. Officer Davis arrested Nellie Higgins and Frankie Moore on Seventh street last night on the charge of street walk- ing, and a little later sent up Mate Em- mersou on the same charge. Nellie Adams was arrested by Officer Maguire, and a charge of street walking was also placed opposite her name. St. Paul's Day at Exposition.

Against the Western Union Telegraph -- Company. ftPJ:. AN IMPORTANT DECISION.! Judge Vanderburgh's Ideas Plainly Expressed in Two I , Suits. I An important decision was filed yes- \u25a0 terday in the supreme court bearing) upon the suit of Thomas M. McCord vs. The . Western Union Telegraph Com-! pany. The facts, as set forth, were that' Dudley & C0., -who resided at Grove City, Minn., were the agents of plaintiff for the purchase of wheat. lie resided! at Minneapolis, and was in the habit of forwarding money to them to be used* in making such purchases in response! to telegrams sent over defendant's' line and delivered to him by it. Feb. 1, : 1887, the defend*- ant transmitted and delivered to plaintiff the following message: "Grove City. Minn., Feb. l, 1887.—T0 T. Mc- Cord A Co.: Send one thousand or fif- teen hundred to-morrow. Dudley & Co." The plaintiff in good faith acted upon this request, and in accordance with his custom forwarded through the American Express company $1,500 in - currency. It turned out, however, that this dispatch was not sent by Dudley & Co., or with their knowledge or author- ity, but was, in fact. . FAI.SK AM> KIJAtIDITr.EXT. .;• . .:' and was written and sent by the agent of the defendant at Grove City, whose business it was to transmit messages at that place. He was also at the same time the agent of the American Express company for the transaction of its busi- ness, and for a long time previous to the time mentioned had so acted for both companies at Grove City, and was well informed of plaintiff's method of doing business with Dudley A Co. On the arrival of the package by express at Grove City containing the sum named,' it was anticipated and acted by the agent, who converted the same to his own use. The principal contention of the defendant was that the corporation was not liable for the fraudulent and tor- tious act of the agent in sending the message, and that the maxim •'re- spondent superior" did not apply in such a case, because the agent in sending the dispatch was not acting for his mas- ter but for himself and ABOUT HIS OWN BUSINESS. Judge Vanderburgh's ruling was: "A telegraph company is liable for the» fraud and misfeasance of an agent en- trusted with the duty of transmitting messages over its line, and in sending a false and fraudulent message prepared by himself to a party who receives the same in the usual course of business and in good faith acts thereon to his damage. And where the local agent of a telegraph company, who was also agent of an express company at the same place, sent a forged dispatch to a merchant in a neighboring city request- ing him to forward money to his corre- spondent at the former place to use in. by and the same was duly received' and the money in good faith forwarded by express in response to the telegram, but was anticipated and converted to his own use by the agent. Held that the transmission of the forged dispatch was the proximate cause of the loss, and that the corporation was liable, though an action might also have been main- tained against the express company.'.' It. Al. Todd et al. claimed damages from the Minneapolis & St. Louis Pail- way company, and the decision of Judge Vanderburgh, of the supreme court, filed yesterday, was: "The plaintiffs were engaged in buying ahead at the warehouses owned by them on the.line of the defendant's railway, for manufacturing Boner at their mill, to which the wheat was shipped, and in selling the products of the mill at the same warehouse; and while so en- gaged and for a considerable time, their business was interrupted anil interfered by a.street leading to the same by the unlawful occupntAn thereof with the defendant's cars and trains. Held that in estimating plaintiff's damage caused by such obstructions, evidence of the diminution of the profits of their busi- ness, simply including the manufacture of flour, was incompetent, as embracing too many elements of uncertainty, to form a basis for estimating damages." Did He Kill Himself? ' Peter Kokot, of Warren street, found a man's coat on the river bank near Mynsterls, in West St. Paul, yesterday, and turned it over to the authorities. An examination of the pockets showed that it was the property of John Bauer, who was formerly employed at Hamm's brewery. There was a card of the Baden Benevolent association, of which he was a member, and also a scarlet- colored badge of that society. Bauer disappeared some time ago, and it is thought that he may have committed suicide by drowning. , ?; ! -: Will .Journey Together.

Acting Mayor Bickel yesterday issued the following proclamation: I'KOCLAJI ATI ON". Mayor's Office, ) City of St. Paul, Sept. 3, 1888. i To the People of St. Paul : Friday, Sept. 7, has been named by the managers of the Minneapolis Indus- trial Exposition as St. Paul day. In the absence of his - honor, the mayor, the managers of the Eposition have' extend- ed to the people of St. Paul, through me as the chief executive of the city, a kind and hearty invitation to visit Min- neapolis and the Exposition on that day. Special atftoictions in the form of an elaborate Moral display and a special musical programme have been prepared for the occasion. Let us, on the day named, next Fri- day, by a large and general attendance, show to the people of our sister city that we appreciate their efforts to build up and develop the material and mechan- ical industries of our state; that we, too, love art ami music, and that by our at- tendance, by our voice, or by more sub- stantial aid. if necessary, we will en- courage them year by year In making this Exposition a magnificent display of the material growth and development and social advancement of Minnesota. Let us on that day also remember how kindly and numerously the people of our sister city responded to our invita- tion to visit us during our winter sports. Let us also remember that these two great cities, which have heretofore grown so evenly and magnificently side by side, sometimes quarreling (as chil- dren will sometimes quarrel), are now each year moving rapidly toward that point where their interests and pros- perity run in common channels; that the same storms that bring disaster to one will injure ihe other; that a fair sky and prosperity for one mean also a fair sky and prosperity to the other. itememberinf all these matters, I hereby order and direct; so far as 1 have power so to do, that all the people of St. Paul, rich and poor, large and .small, put aside their common and every-day work or play on next Friday, and on that day visit and enjoy the Minneap- olis Exposition.

2 THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1888.

SAINT PAUL.CHIT CHAT CORNER.

Editors of Minnesota willmake livelymusic at Harmonia hall in MinneapolisThursday at noon, and the followingmorning they will inaugurate a pleasuretrip over the Soo road. Maj. T. M.Newson, chairman of the excursioncommittee, has announced the pro-gramme, which will include a visit toMerriam Park Friday, the 7th inst.,

when luncheon will be partaken of. At2 o'clock the party will board the trainat Minneapolis for Sault Ste. Marie andare expected toreach that the morning

Of the Sth. A cordial reception is guar-anteed the visitors, and their stay willbe made pleasanter with a grand ban-quet in the evening. After exhausting

the beauties of the Soo, Gladstone andBhinelanderwtti be theobjective pointsof the tourists, and the special train,

Minneapolis some time during the 10thinst.

• *Two ladies who were passengers in

an East Seventh street car yesterdayafternoon attracted considerable atten-

tion by assuming side-saddle attitudesand occupying space enough (or threepersons. It was an hour, too.when sev-eral tired day laborers were in the car,and while the two ladies discussedneighborhood topics the horny-fistedsons of toilhung on by the straps, at-

tentive but disgusted listeners. Oneindignant passenger could not restrainhis Impatience and contempt, andblurted out: "The railway companyhas i o right to allow so many to ridein the cars. It should furnish a separatecompartment for each passenger, up-holster the seat with silk plush and sur-round it with a glass case. By such anarrangement the space to be occupiedwillbe definitely determined, and therange of a person's feet circumscribed•when they sit side-saddle fashion.''

# **An opportunity willbe offered viatorsto the state fair to express their prefer-ences for presidential candidatesthrough the medium of the new ballot-recording machine recently inventedby John W. lMiines. of this city. The•machine will be on exhibition in•machinery ball, where space for itsWorkings have been donated by the fairmanagers, and thousands will be en-abled thereby to test practically a con-trivance which the inventor claims willeffectually prevent ballot box stuffing.The voter, after the lid of a square ma-bogony box Is raised, merely touches abutton which contains the name ofthecandidate for whom he desires to vote,and this button cannot be removeduntil the lid is replaced, thereby re-lievivg the ratchet which detains thebutton. Figures are recorded on smallSlips of paper, and without collusionbetween all the judges and voters fraudWill be absolutely impossible.

* *The agricultural exhibits at the State

Fair give promise to excel anything ofthe kind yet seen in Minnesota, or eventhe Erreat Northwest. There weretwenty-two carloads of machinery onthe track yesterday morning en routefor the fair grounds, and five carloadsof buggies and carriages. The latter•will be found replete with all the latestImprovements for comfort and ease inroad traveling. William M. Bushnell,•superintendent of the department ofagricultural machinery and motivepower at the fair, will be at thegrounds this afternoon and to-morrowand the, whole of Friday and{Saturday, to complete all arrangementswith exhibitors. He will also arrangethe placing of goods for the opening ofthe exhibition at 9 o'clock Monday morn-ing. The engine which will supply thewhole of the motive power for workingtlie exhibits willbe started by electric-ity, and the ceremony willbe performedby William M. Bushnell, Jr., a mite ofless than twelve months old.

The stage ofwater in the Mississippiriver is at present so low that it is im-possible for the larger steamers to runup to St. Paul. Managers of the St.Paul Packet and Diamond Jo lines havemade arrangements with the steamerClean to transfer their passengers andfreight from Hastings to St. Paul, Hast-ings being the highest point now reachedby their boats. The owners of the< lean report that the St. Croix river isvery low, and they are no longer able tomake their customary trips with lumberand wood from above Stillwater. The\u25a0steamer Pittsburg came up as far asHastings yesterday, her cargo beingtransferred to St. Paul by tiis Cleon,while the passengers finished their jour-Bey by rail.

» *The state capitol was almost totally

deserted yesterday, as from Gov. Mc-Gili downwards the cry was "He's atthe Merchants." Auditor Braden, In-surance Commissioner Shandrew andRailroad Commissioners Becker andAustin were among the notable excep-tions so far as the heads ofdeportmentsMere concerned. The rest might havebe?n seen, "just In a promiscuous way,you know," putting in some quiet workamong the delegates to to-day's Bepub-lican convention. . •

Bills..

Last evening the city council was nosooner in session than Aid. Gehanmoved that the adoption of the BnoaElect ri'.* Bailway ordinance be indefi-nitely postponed— a course which thealdermen agreed to without demur.

Mayor Smith forwarded a communi-cation calling attention to complaintsconcerning the difficulties encounteredby captains of transient steamboats ineffecting a landing at the several docksin the city, and to the necessity forlocating the wharves and providing fortheir proper management. "Section 4,article 55, of ordinance of the city, pro-vided for the discharge of passengersand cargoes of transient boatsat the public levee free ofcharge, but the mayor is informed thatpermission to land was refused Capt,John Jeremy, of the steamer Kuby, bythe agent of the Keokuk Northern orDavidson Packet company, who de-manded $25 for the privilege. Also,Capt. Jeremy recently attempted toland on the west side of the river, oppo-site Jackson street- and was attacked bythe occupants of flat boats, who drovehim away at the points of revolvers."

The committee on streets will inquireinto this matter.

Michael Lynch, who was recentlyfined *25 for attending a dog tight saidto have taken place at Uanilinc, peti-tioned the council for remission of thethe fine. He said he was not at thefight, and claimed to have been con-nected with it owing to the fact thatcertain parties were present with hishorse and saddle. The matter was re-ferred to the committee on police.

Palmyra Manufacturingcompany pro-pose to place a Prosser noiseless andsmokeless locomotive on the street-cartracks of St. Paul, for thirty days, earlyduring next month. This is longer thanthe council have granted the companyin a previous ordinance, and the com-mittee on streets were instructed to de-cide whether the application shall begranted.

St. Paul Bicycle club requested per-mission to have a parade of city wheel-men on decorated wheels. Wednesdayevening. I2tb inst., and also asked for aguard of mounted police to head them.Referred to the committee on police.

From Aug. 4th to Sept. 3d 037 maledog licenses were issued at $1.05, and39 female dog licenses at $3.05; total,$1,1113.40.

The board of fire commissioners fur-nished the following statement, show-ing appropriations needed for the firedepartment for the year ending Septem-ber, 1888: Salaries, $171,300; feed, $7,000*fuel, $B,ooo' engine house repairs, $2,0 0;replacement of hose, $2,500; apparatusrepairs, $2,000; water tower, $5,000; ad-dition to No. 2 engine house for watertower, $1,500; fire alarm telegraph,$3,000; maintenance, $21,000; lot, build-ing and -equipment for chemicalengine and book and ladder truckfor St. Anthony Park, $25,000;building and equipment for onesteam fire engine company to be locatedat the corner of Bedford and Bradleystreets. $40,000; fire alarm telegraphsupplies for above new plant, $5,000;maintenance for new plant, $15,000;total, $308.000.

Dora Wollin's claim of $652.50 fordamage to personal property, etc., inbasement of brick building. West St.Paul, was reduced to $328.25. andgranted. The claim included $150 forfive feather beds.

Aid. Kavanagh— they live geesefeathers?

Aid. Fischer— Well, they would bedead geese feathers, I should think.[Laughter.] ;'.

An ordinance was proposed grantingpermission to the Minnesota NaturalGas, Oil & Fuel company to erect build-ings for storing natural gas. and to storenatural gas therein, and to lay pipes forconducting gas through the streets,avenues, alleys and lanes of city of St.Paul. '? •\u25a0\u25a0": -"•--. X><Z-

Aid. Minea understood this was anentirely new ordinance, there beingsome additions to the one previously be-fore the council, and he proposed thatit be referred to the committee onstreets.

The aldermen decided otherwise, andthe ordinance was read on its finalpassage.

Aid. Cullen explained that this ordi-nance was in no wise exclusive. Itsimply gave the company power to enterthe streets of St. Paul, and the city wasguarded perfectly in every respect.

Aid. Fischer— have we not grant-ed the exclusive right to some othercompany?

Aid. Cullen— Yes; but the ordinanceha- expired and the company left thecity.

Aid. Kavanagh— They could not -findthe gas. [Laughter.]

Aid. Sanborn— l am informed that aresolution was passed extending the ex-clusive right to that company until Jan-uary next.. Aid. Yoerg—That is a fact, and theresolution was passed at the last meet-ing of the old council.

.1. W. Hall, representing the Minne-sota Natural Gas company, explainedthat if the council passed the ordinancehis company could not operate until aresolution of the aldermen was adoptedallowing them to do so. The exclusiveprivilege granted to the other companywould then have expired.

The ordinance was unanimouslypassed.

The bid of Corlies, Chapman &Drake of $1,305 for 500 election boxes, or$2.73 per box, was accepted, this beingthe lowest bid.

Committee, on gas having receivedproposals for lighting such streets, al-leys and public grounds, etc., withelectric lights as may be ordered fromtime to time by the council, recom-mended that the offer of the St. PaulGas Light company to supply arc lightsSt 57 cents per night for all-night serv-ice be accepted, the said contract to bebased on 100 or more lights. ' vrv '

Aid. Kavanagh was opposed to this,adding: "Ithink all the lights on EastSeventh street ought to be withdrawn,and that there is no need to providelight to farmers* homes." [Laughter.]

Aid. Cullen was of the opinion thatinstead of increasing the number ofelectric lights they should reduce them.

Aid. Fischer said if they agreed to in-crease the electric lidhts th^gas-lightsshould be abolished.

Aid. Kavanagh— l think the flushtimes ofthe past three orfour years areabout over, and it is time we cut downour expenses, and we might as well be-gin with this gas bill.

Aid. Yoerg proposed: "On and afterOct. 1 all electric lights upon all streetsand masts, excepting those in the parks,be ordered discontinued."

Aid. Ilamm hoped that the resolutionwould not pass, ami moved that itbe re-ferred to the committee on gas. Thiswas agreed to by a vote of 11 votes to 5,and the recommendation of the commit-tee was referred back.

Citizens of Macalestcr having madethe request, the mayor was authorizedto appoint a patrolman for that district.Council passed an ordinance allowing$8,000 for illuminatingthe city duringthe state fair, Aid. Yoerg explainingthat $2,000 was required to purchaseglobes, as last year 4,000 were broken.

COLD WATER ADVOCATESWill Nominate a Complete County

Ticket.The primary meetings for the elec-

tion \of delegates to the Prohibitioncounty convention were held last even-ing In nine of the eleven wards of thecity. The primaries were from 8 o'clockuntil 10, and in most instances were inremote sections of the wards—usually in the residence of someenthusiastic advocate of temperance.The primaries were not largely at-tended, as primaries go, but the aggre-gate showed that there are enough coldwater votes to make a considerable dis-play, if.they do not cut a great figurein future campaigns. Each ward In thecity is entitled under the basis of repre-sentation fixed upon by the Prohibition .committee to six delegates. The Pro-hibition clubs are allowed two each. Inthis city there are twenty-three Amer-ican clubs and eight or ten Scandina-vian Prohibition organizations. Thusthe roster of the delegates that will as-semble on Thursday morning at- 10o'clock will show about 190 names. Theconvention will assemble in Be-lief hall and is for the purpose ofof nominating a county ticket. On Sept.15 the Prohibitionists of the city willhave a grand demonstration, to ratifythe nominations to be made on Thurs-day, and the state and congressionalnominations which have already beenmade.

LIABLE FOR AGENTS' ACTS.Against the Western Union Telegraph

-- Company. ftPJ:.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.!

Judge Vanderburgh's Ideas PlainlyExpressed in Two I

• , Suits. I

An important decision was filed yes- \u25a0

terday in the supreme court bearing)upon the suit of Thomas M. McCord vs.The . Western Union Telegraph Com-!pany. The facts, as set forth, were that'

Dudley & C0., -who resided at GroveCity, Minn., were the agents of plaintifffor the purchase of wheat. lie resided!at Minneapolis, and was in the habit offorwarding money to them to be used*in making such purchases in response!to telegrams sent over defendant's'line and delivered to him byit. Feb. 1, : 1887, the defend*-ant transmitted and delivered toplaintiff the following message: "GroveCity. Minn., Feb. l, 1887.—T0 T. Mc-Cord A Co.: Send one thousand or fif-teen hundred to-morrow. Dudley &Co." The plaintiff in good faith actedupon this request, and in accordancewith his custom forwarded through theAmerican Express company $1,500 in -currency. It turned out, however, thatthis dispatch was not sent by Dudley &Co., or with their knowledge or author-ity, but was, in fact.

. FAI.SK AM>KIJAtIDITr.EXT. .;• . .:'and was written and sent by the agentof the defendant at Grove City, whosebusiness it was to transmit messages atthat place. He was also at the sametime the agent of the American Expresscompany for the transaction of its busi-ness, and for a long time previous tothe time mentioned had so acted forboth companies at Grove City, and waswell informed of plaintiff's method ofdoing business with Dudley A Co. Onthe arrival of the package by express atGrove City containing the sum named,'it was anticipated and acted by theagent, who converted the same to hisown use. The principal contention ofthedefendant was that the corporation wasnot liable for the fraudulent and tor-tious act of the agent in sendingthe message, and that the maxim •'re-spondent superior" did not apply in sucha case, because the agent in sendingthe dispatch was not acting for his mas-ter but for himself and •

ABOUTHIS OWN BUSINESS.Judge Vanderburgh's ruling was: "A

telegraph company is liable for the»fraud and misfeasance of an agent en-trusted with the duty of transmittingmessages over its line, and in sending afalse and fraudulent message preparedby himself to a party who receives thesame in the usual course of businessand in good faith acts thereon to hisdamage. And where the local agent ofa telegraph company, who was alsoagent of an express company at thesame place, sent a forged dispatch to amerchant in a neighboring city request-ing him to forward money to his corre-spondent at the former place to use in.by and the same was duly received' andthe money in good faith forwarded byexpress in response to the telegram, butwas anticipated and converted to hisown use by the agent. Held that thetransmission of the forged dispatch wasthe proximate cause of the loss, andthat the corporation was liable, thoughan action might also have been main-tained against the express company.'.'

It. Al. Todd et al. claimed damagesfrom the Minneapolis & St. Louis Pail-way company, and the decision ofJudge Vanderburgh, of the supremecourt, filed yesterday, was: "Theplaintiffs were engaged in buyingahead at the warehouses owned by themon the.line of the defendant's railway,for manufacturing Boner at their mill,to which the wheat was shipped, and inselling the products of the mill at thesame warehouse; and while so en-gaged and for a considerable time, theirbusiness was interrupted anil interferedby a.street leading to the same by theunlawful occupntAn thereof with thedefendant's cars and trains. Held thatin estimating plaintiff's damage causedby such obstructions, evidence of thediminution of the profits of their busi-ness, simply including the manufactureof flour, was incompetent, as embracingtoo many elements of uncertainty, toform a basis for estimating damages."

Did He Kill Himself? '

Peter Kokot, of Warren street, founda man's coat on the river bank nearMynsterls, in West St. Paul, yesterday,and turned it over to the authorities.An examination of the pockets showedthat it was the property of John Bauer,who was formerly employed at Hamm'sbrewery. There was a card of theBaden Benevolent association, of whichhe was a member, and also a scarlet-colored badge of that society. Bauerdisappeared some time ago, and it isthought that he may have committedsuicide by drowning. , ?; !

Acting Mayor Bickel yesterday issuedthe following proclamation:

I'KOCLAJIATION".Mayor's Office, )

City of St. Paul, Sept. 3, 1888. iTo the People of St. Paul :

Friday, Sept. 7, has been named bythe managers of the Minneapolis Indus-trial Exposition as St. Paul day.

Let us, on the day named, next Fri-day, by a large and general attendance,show to the people of our sister city thatwe appreciate their efforts to build upand develop the material and mechan-ical industries of our state; that we, too,love art ami music, and that by our at-tendance, by our voice, or by more sub-stantial aid. if necessary, we will en-courage them year by year In makingthis Exposition a magnificent display ofthe material growth and developmentand social advancement of Minnesota.Let us on that day also remember howkindly and numerously the people ofour sister city responded to our invita-tion to visit us during our winter sports.

Let us also remember that these twogreat cities, which have heretoforegrown so evenly and magnificently sideby side, sometimes quarreling (as chil-dren will sometimes quarrel), are noweach year moving rapidly toward thatpoint where their interests and pros-perity run in common channels; thatthe same storms that bring disaster toone will injure ihe other; that a fairsky and prosperity for one mean also afair sky and prosperity to the other.

itememberinf all these matters, Ihereby order and direct; so far as 1 havepower so to do, that all the people ofSt. Paul, rich and poor, large and .small,put aside their common and every-daywork or play on next Friday, and onthat day visit and enjoy the Minneap-olis Exposition.
