SECOND DISTRICT ALSO GETS TO- GETHER, BUT XOTHIXG IS At COMTL.ISHEOD. ONLY SIX MEMBERS PRESENT. W. B. Stint-, of Murray County, En. tern the Field a* a Candidate Cor Chief Clerk. Members of the Second and Sixth congressional districts held caucuses last night, and It is possible that what was done will clear up the sit- uation on the speakership question. To one on the outside, however, no partic- ular headway was perceptible. The Sixth district caucus was offi- cered by the selection of A. N. Dare, of Elk River, as chairman, and George R. Laybourne, of Duluth, as secretary. There were present A. N. Dare, A. H. Farrls, B. F. Hartshorn, D. M. Gunn, P. C. Schmidt, H. H. Head, G.. P. Boutwell, George R. Laybourne and J. D. Jones, members of the house, and half-a-dozen senators from the district. The candidacy of J. D. Jones for speak- er was indorsed by a rising vote, and an executive committee consisting of Messrs. Dare, Farris, Gunn and Schmidt appointed to make as warm and vigorous a campaign for the Sixth district candidate as possible. There were three members of the house from the district who were not present at the caucus, but one of the absentees has sent word that he would, if pres- ent, vote for Jones, and, while the oth- er two had not been heard from, it was stated that there was no doubt but that they would be in line. Other questions were not discussed, or if they were none of those in attendance would admit that anything except the speakership was talked of. The Second district caucus was not as much of a success as the Sixth. In fact only six of the fifteen members entitled to vote on the speakership question were In attendance. Those taking part in the session were Dan Shell, of Nobles; O. O. Holman, of Murray; Thomas Torson, of Watton- •wan; A. S. Deyer, of Pipestone; John Larson, of Goodhue, and Benton Sev- erance, of Nicollet. Dan Shell was selected as chairman and Thomas Tor- son as secretary. There being not enough merrtbera present to call a ma- jority and also for other reasons no formal action was taken and no in- dorsement of any candidate was made. The situation was discussed in an in- formal way and an adjournment taken to a future day. At the next session of the Second district people it is ex- pected a much larger attendance will be present and then something definite may result. ••• A new candl-darte for clerk from the Second district was announced late last night in the person of W. B. Stine. of Murray county. Mr. Stine, accord- ing to the statements of his friends, will, in due course of time, be backed by the solid vote of the delegation for the position of chief clerk, and it is possible and perhaps probable that the fifteen representatives from the district may be able to cut a deal of a figure in the speakership contest by judic- iously handling the candidacy of Mr. Stine. ••• The leading candidates for the posi- tion of chief clerk, Dowling and Dean, are doing a deal of hustling. Mr. Dean has not by any means given up tho fight notwithstanding the talk of the friends of Dowling that the latter has a sure thing and that Dean's election is not possible. The friends of Dean claim that he has the First district solid and will be certain of a numbei in the Second, although at the time this was given out the candidacy of Mr.. Stine had not been announced. The prophesy that Sam Dangum, of the I First district, will be elected secretary j of the senate, and that this will pre- vent or rather spoil the chances ot Dean, does not appear to worry the friends of the candidate for chief clerk of the house from the First district. ••• Mr. Dowling was in his usual cheer- ful frame of mind last evening, and If he was at all worried over his chance* he certainly gave no outward evidence of the fact. Asked as to what ha thought of the situation Mr. Dowling said it looked encouraging to him and he hoped and looked to see the re- election of the desk men of two years ago. • • • J. D. Jones of Todd county, who was given a boom last evening for the speakership race, was seen after the caucus had adjourned. Mr. Jones, while feeling much gratified at the re- sult of the caucus, admitted that the contest was bound to be a close and ex- citing one. The result of the caucus would be of much advantage to his candidacy and would add weight from the fact that he had the united support of the district members. •• * The Second district members will hold an adjourned meeting of their caucus at the Windsor at 2 o'clock this afternoon. •• » . H. N. Ingersoll, of the Bralnerd Dis- patch, and a candidate for engrossing clerk, is in the city. He is looking after his candidacy. •• * Attorney S. A. Stockwell, of Minne- apolis, is leading- a movement to try and secure a i-epeal this year of the struck jury law. He makes the state- ment that of thirty-eight struck jury cases that came to his attention, only two resulted in a verdict for the plain- tiff. He thinks that an unfair propo- sition. Members of the Hennepin coun- ty bar are interested in the movement. A petition for its repeal is being largely signed and bears the names of Judges Steel, Pond, Vanderburg, Rea, Young, H. D. Stocker, Stephen Mahony and many others. Mr. Stockwell, who de- ! Clares that he has been unable to. find a single attorney, not personally in- terested, who was not bitterly opposed to it as class legislation of the most I unfairly discriminating and pernicious ! character. A plan is talked of by some of the anti-oorporation lawyers looking to a reform in the method of striking juries, whereby no one shall know be- forehand what names are on the panel, and making it a misdemeanor for any person to suggest a name for the list. Mr. Stockwell declares, however, that no compromise will be accepted and that unless the law is absolutely re- pealed he would rather see the -present vicious system continue until its very rottenness will compel its abandon- ment. Scorched Thin Morning. The two-story frame building, No. 415 Cedar street, was slightly damaged by fire about 1 o'clock this morning. The building, which is very old and in bad repair, stands In the rear of Yenca's grocery and the upper floor Is occupied by the firm as a bakery. The ground floor has been us«d as a bla> tutmith shop by A. N. Eshelman, but was unoccupied at the time of the flre except aa a storage room for some boxes and lumber. It was In this portion that the flre started, but its origin is unknown. The bakery was in operation and seven men, including the foremtn, Frank McCarthy, were engaged in baking bread for uae thin morning, when John Schafer discovered smoke coming through the floor. He alarmed his fellow employes and although the smoke aoon became very dense, they ail managed THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE; FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1898. to escape and save their clothes, which they had laid aside for overalls while at work. In the bakery was flour of the value of $100 and two carloads of salt, worth about $300. This will be nearly a total loss on account of the smoke, but the damage to the building will not exceed $100. IOE CARNIVAL GOSSIP. Permanent Headquarters Secured— Getting the Track In Shape. There is no longrer any doubt but that the ice carnival of 1896 will be one of the old-time sort. The boom is de- veloping and growing with the rapidity of a snow ball rolling down hill aiid all the directors, even to the most con- servative of their number, are highly elated at the prospect. Enthusiasm even greater than was expected is ap- parent on all sides. Business men are '• taking hold of the project with all the earncitneaa which made the early car- j nlvals so grandly successful.and among j the citizens generally Is evinced an in- terest which is most promising. Car- j nival clubs of all descriptions are | springing up ami the manufacturers who have made arrangements to sup- ply uniforms are already convinced by the number of inquiries they have re-~ ceived that the demand will be greater than they can accommodate. ••• The Nushka club, which became so prominent by reason not only of the | fact that it was made up of the men j and women of the most exclusive social j set in the city, but also its snow-shoe j runs, its coaching parties and lastly its handsome uniform, will be revived. The members tof this club, both men j and women, have decided to reorganize j and secure new uniforms and to go in j for all the fun that's to be had this j winter. The Beven Corners club, an- other large oifranizatlon, whose mem- j bers were ospefcially proficient in 1 marching and drilling, will also be re- organized. 9 • ** The finance .committee of the asso- ciation took a-sortiof preliminary can- ter Wednesday afternoon and were much gratified by the result. Two of j the members in a couple of hours suc- ceeded in ,«eou-ring subscriptions amounting to over $2,000, although only fifteen persons were seen. Four of these alone subscribed $1,000. ••• The Pioneer Press Building company has donated to the directors the use of the large bank rooms on the second floor of Its building as headquarters, and hereafter all meeting, including those of the executive committee, will be held in these rooms. There will be a general meeting of the directors to- night and at that time Architect Stem will present his preliminary plan and designs for approval. Much othrr business of importance will also be considered. The executive committee held Its regular noon meeting at the Commercial club yesterday, but the time was principally devoted to in- formal discussion as to the arrange- ment of the ground. "3 committee will endeavor to perfect plans while the finance committee is at work, and be ready when the funds are sub- scribed to let contracts and proceed with the work of construction. The track for horse racing, which will necessarily be outside the castle wall on account of its length, will be ready for use by Sunday or Monday. The Capital City Driving club will meet In the council chamber next Tuesday night to arrange for horse races dur- ing the carnival. Secretary Rothschild will establish a permanent office at headquarters in the Pioneer Press building. • * • The Capital' Cit^ Driving club has proved one of the : most popular of the various ones .Uready organizing for the winter season : and carnival. Mr. Jen- sen has received letters from various parts of the country asking for infor- mation, and motley sufficient to give as- surance of success has been sub- scribed, and, with what donations and membership fees bring in, will enable j the club to give the greatest race meet- ing on the ice ever held in any city, either here or in Canada. The first meeting of the, club will be held in the council chamber of the city hall next Tuesday evening, at 8 p. m, when every one interested in the welfare of horses and the success of the driving club is expected to be present. Dr. Price has undertaken the duties of sec- retary and track superintendent, in order to relieve Matt Jensen, who has his hands full In connection with other committees. Teams will be put to work this morning scraping the track, and by Sunday, it is expected to have it in shape for speeding. An ample covering of v «now on the streets is promised, so that access over the Rob- ert street bridge will be possible on runners. It is >^>oed every one owning a horse and c will make use of the traok so as t a proper surface for fast work by the time the horses are conditioned, which will take two or three weeks. THAT LIGHTING BID. Some Points About the Proposition That Are Not Clear. There may be, as the American Development company claims, any combine or combination but one thing is certain, that if the bid now in the hands ofMhe committee on gas is accepted the city will pay for each gasoline lamp lighted next year $1.13 per lamp per jionth, as against 98 cents per lamp p*» month under the present contract. A gentleman who is somewhat familiar with the lighting question, but who is not interested in a business way with either the present or probable future contractor, is authority for the statement that if new bids were advertised for ther« would be more, than one bidder. He arrives at this con- clusion from the figures submitted in answer to the advertisement in the one bid. Accord- ing to this gentleman, the price of gasoline la now quoted at a figure which would allow the quantity to be used next year by the contractor to be secured at a saving of at least $4,000 less than the cost of the fluid for 1896. If, as he claims, the work has been done during the present years at 98 cents per lamp per month, the city should for the ..cjwtttog year have the lighting done for the same figure, if not for less. In the bid submitted the following proposi- tions are made by the company and while the first and second paragraphs which are quoted below seem to clash the third one ap- pears to bo the key to the enigma and shows how the price mentioned In the first clause of the bid may be increased when the con- tract Is drawn by adding the figures men- tioned in the second clause. We will furnish the necessary gasoline to sustain a light equal to 14 candle-power in each street lamp mentioned froxn dawn to sunset, from Jan. 1, 1897, to Dec. 31, 1897. in- cluding the lighting of all said lamps, keep- ing them in good repair for use and keep- ing the glass clean and bright and supplying the necessary burners, appliances and fix- tures and other attachments therefor, which burners shall remain the property of the undersigned at the rate of $1.0475 per lamp per month. We will furnish gasoline burners capable of producing a light equal to 14 candle-power, to be used by the city in lamps in said ad- vertisement and herein mentioned, and dur- ing the time aforesaid, said burners to re- main the property of the undersigned, and we will charge for the use thereof during said time the sum of 8% cents per burner per month. It is understood that the city of St. Paul, upon receiving this bid. reserves the right to purchase the burners which are offered for sale as above mentioned, or to rent those which may be offered for rent as above, and that we will enter into a contract in accord- ance with the choice made by the city.
