• *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. . •

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.

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.

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.

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. , ?; !

At the Exposition— A GeneralTurnout Invited.

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. In theabsence of his - honor, the mayor, themanagers of the Eposition have' extend-ed to the people of St. Paul, throughme as the chief executive of the city, akind and hearty invitation to visit Min-neapolis and the Exposition on that day.Special atftoictions in the form of anelaborate Moral display and a specialmusical programme have been preparedfor 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 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.
