Dairy Commissioner Rice of Zumbrota was at the office of the commission at the capitol all day yesterday. He has been actively engaged of hue in making arrange ments for the National convention of dairy commissioners, to meet in Chicago on the 11th of November. To a Globe reporter, Mr. Kice said there had been a general change in the nature and arrangements of the meeting recently. When it was found that the National convention of the Butter, Ksrg and Cheese association was set for the Mine dates in Chicago, it had been thought best to hold a joint convention. The objects sought by the dairy commis sioners of the various states could be ac complished fully as well, and there would be the added benefit of a larger attendance. The attendance promised to be large. All dairy commis sioners in any state where such officials had been created were ex-omcio delegates: boards of trade and chambers of commerce were to be delegates from nearly every state, appointed at large by the governor, as had been the ea-^e in Minnesota, by the state board of agriculture. Advices re ceived on Monday ot this week by tiie com missioner gave promise that the meeting would !)c a very important one. as 1.300 delegates had reported as about to attend. THE PRINCIPAL OBJECT of the meeting would be to tukc steps to ward securing some uniform legislation in all the states represented to protect the dairy against the sale of oleomargarine, and other imitations of thai product of the dairy. To effect this it was probable that a littee would be appointed by onvention to draw up a suitable law, thai might be sufficient to coyer the ground, and the several state delegations would use their influence to secure the passage of this iv such slates, as had sessions of their legis latures this winter, and when a sufficient number of states have adopted it then the matter will be brought to the attention of congress. Mr. Rice thought that at least thirty states would be represented, includ ing all except some of the Southern ones, where the dairy interests are of little value. "There is need of a system of interstate legislation, as you might call it," said Mr. Rice, "if the manufacture and sale of spu rious butter is to be stopped. It is impos sible fora single isolated state, with the best law possible, to prevent the traffic, even in its own limits. Minnesota cannot prevent a considerable quantity of the spu rious stuff being handled within its own boundaries, so long as in Dakota, Wiscon sin and lowa there is no law against its sale. The commission here has found it impossible this year. We have been able 1o do a great deal, as at St. Paid and Min neapolis, which were the chief distributing points, we can make CAREFUL INSPECTIONS and keep a pretty general track of what is on the market, but this is the way the man ufacturers or dealers outside manage to avoid us. Wisconsin and Dakota have no such law in existence, consequently the shippers bill it through Minnesota t'> points just over the Dakota line, or the Northern Wisconsin line, and then from these points Bend it into our" state in small quan tities. Jt has always been used largely in the pineries in Northern Minnesota and in the way 1 speak of it is still sent up there. Our law dues not allow us to make seizure of it while it is being shipped, and it is impossible for us to hunt down all the cases there are scattered along the bounda ries of Dakota and Wisconsin. "Our law is defective in two or three points. In the first place, we cannot make seizures of spurious butter, bat are obliged to detect the actual sale, and then prosecute the offender. In many cases it is almost impossible to get evidence that will stand law. Sometimes we find a dealer who has a quantity of it on hand, but he tells us he has not sold any of it; in fact, that he did not buy it for sale. He says some whole sale dealer outside the state shipped it to him without an order, and that he has not sold a pound of it. Of course, as soon as he knows we are watching for him lie is very careful not to sell any of it. and we cannot find out if he has done so before. Another point in the law that has made us some difficulty is in the line of punishment for offenders found guilty. It is provided that punishment may be either a line or imprisonment, but as to the hitler, nothing is said or indicated whether it shall be in the jail or state prison. Municipal judges will not take the responsibility of settling the question and so our cases have BEEN MUCH DELAYED. "There are two now in Minneapolis, on which Judge Bailey says he will not as sume tlie authority of determining the law and we must wait until we can get the cases before the district court." "You believe that the law has accom plished good in this state?" was asked. "1 do," replied Mr. ilice. "The amount of oleomargarine that has been shipped and will be shipped to Minnesota this coming year will be 80 per cent, less than the quantity last year. This large decrease is by no means wholly due to the law, but comes in a measure from the lower price of dairy butter, which has made the business less profitable. At the same time I believe the law has had something to do in keeping down the quantity. There is one other ile fect in our law, and that is that trials of offenders are required to be made before juries. It is almost impossible that twelve men, who do not know the danger in which the manufacture and sale of spuri ous butter is putting the whole dairy interest of this country, will bring in a verdict against a man for selling an article for what he advertises it. The trials ou>_i\t to be before judges who would simply give a finding in .accordance with the letter of the law." "You spoke of the danger to the dairy interests." "I believe that the manufacture and sale of this oleomargarine is absolutely threat ening to kill out the dairy interests of the country, unless there is quick legislation to prevent it. 1 have recently been looking into tiie matter. The two firms of Armour «fc Co. and Fairbanks Bros, will manufac ture this year SO. 000 POUNDS of spurious butter. Armour & Co. will brand theirs just what it is. and put it on the market; ten other linns do not call theirs oleomargarine, but some sort of dairy butter. Now a cow may be put down for say 150 pounds a year, so that every 190 pounds of the.se 50,000.000. for they do use about 25 per cent, of good butter, will ju.st take the place of one cow. Her product is not needed and she may be retired from service, with no protit to her owner. You can easily figure the number of cows that the two linns named will put on the retired list. The stuff is made in eight places, principally In this country. They are St. Louis, Kansas City. Cleve land. Chicago. Cincinnati, Baltimore, Bos ton and Toledo, and tha factories at these places threaten very seriously the dairy in terests of the country." A GRAND WEDDING. !Tfarri:ijr:' of Miss Carrie Drake and W.II. I.iffhtner--Other Society- Miss Carrie Drake, daughter of E. F. Drake, was married to W. H. Lightner in the First Baptist church yesterday after noon. Rev. Mr. Lightner of New Jersey, brother of the groom, officiating, assisted by Rev. Dr. Mabie. pastor of the church in which the ceremonies occurred. The pul pit was beautifully decorated with Jilies, ferns, myrtle and ivy. and the organ was covered with yellow wheat stalks, based with sere autumn leaves. At 5 o'clock C. F. Morse, organist, touched the keys of the instrument and the first notes of an offertoire in A, by Batiste, swelled through the building, which* had already begun to fill with people. The first number was followed by a prayer in F, by Guilmont, a march in C by Weber and a melody in B by Giiilmont. At the conclusion of the last rendition the nave of the church was filled with people and hardly a seat was obtaina ble. Just as the hands of the clock were pointing to 5:45 the doors of the central aisle were . thrown open and the brides maids, Miss Mary Drake, Miss Leila Dean, Miss Rachel Rice and Miss Hattie Gotzian, advanced from the vestibule bearing bou quets of lilies, and were followed by the groom, W. 11. Lightner, his best man, Clarence Lightner, and Ushers George Squires, Frank Hanson. Howard Elmer and A. M. Drake. THE BRIDE FOLLOWED on the arm of her father. As the bridal party marched down the aisle the organ peeled forth the "Bridal Chorus" I from Lohengrin, and the scene was very impressive. During the marriage ceremo nies "Elsa's Bridal Music at the Minster" from Lohengrin was softly played. The service was opened by Rev. Dr. Mabie with prayer and the bonds were tied by Mr. Lightner. Hardly more than fifteen min utes were consumed iv the exercises and the march from the church was led by the groom and the bride, while Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was played. The walk from the street to the church door was laid | with velvet carpet and arched with canvas. At the conclusion of the wedding a recep tion was held at the residence of the bride's father, corner Lafayette and Woodward avenue, in which only a few of the most intimate friends of the family participated. The presents were numerous and valuable. The bride and groom left on the 8:55 train for a short bridal tour through the East. THE COSTUMES. The bride was altogether lovely in the traditional white satin. Her gown was, of course, long, the train perfectly plain but j for a full ruche of tulle at the edge, while I the front ■ and sides were draped with duchesse point, the square veil being of the same superb material. The bridesmaids, who bore their honors gracefully, chose for their dresses bright \ tints that harmonized with each other and ) formed a rich setting for the snowy | draperies of the bride. Miss Mamie Drake was in pale green and Miss Dean in pink, while Miss Rachel Rice wore a faint shade of buff and Hattie Gotzian lavender. These four dresses were alike short, with I heart-shaped necks and short sleeves, and much silk gauze being used in their con struction, were dainty in the extreme. Mrs. E. F. Drake, mother of the bride, and Miss MeClung wore rich but simple costumes of black silk, with a profusion of white lace and diamonds. Mrs. Harry Drake's gown was of white Ottoman silk, with trimmings of white lace and diamond ornaments. Mrs. Rogers, sister of the bride, wore j dark blue silk, and her fair-haired little I daughters were in pale blue and white; Mi°s Marion Drake was also in pale blue. Among the guests were observed Mrs. Ordway, who was in black satin, with real lace and diamonds; Mrs. F. A. Fogg, Miss Scheffer, Miss Carol Dean, who wore black lace over scarlet satin; Mrs. G. H. Ranney, Mrs. W. H. Sanborn, whose costume was of golden brown satin; Mrs. Wilder, in black velvet, and Miss Gotzian; but it is useless to attempt a full description of all the elegant toilets. Chrysanthemums were the favorite flow ers, huge ribbon-tied bunches of them being carried by many of the ladies, while for corsage bouquets they seemed fully as pop ular as roses. SALE OF OLD MAIDS. Last evening a very unique little enter tainment was given at the pleasant resi dence of Mr. W. R. Bartiett at Merriam Park. It. was in the form of a social, and it is intended to be the inauguration of a series of similar entertainments for the benefit of the First Presbyterian church. Another source of income is obtained from what is called the sale of old maids. A number of persons are put up at auction. They were masked and were all supposed to be ladies, but they were not.. u ,Some.., of them lust evening were boys, but they sold just as well as the ladies did. and in one or two instances better. They were put up like slaves on the auction block, and the party that named the highest price took the old maid, No one could tell who the parties were. This feature of the business is what caused the interest, and there was a good deal of it manifested. After the sale, all who attended bad supper. Those who bought the old maids, and paid for them, of course owned them. They consequently took them to the tables with them. Then it was that the real fun began. When they were seated at the tables the old maids were compelled to unmask, and all present had an opportunity to see who had been sold.. The gathering at the tables was a curious one, and the old maids that had been sold were the observed of all. It was a very lively little time, and will net a pleasant little sum for the church. It is the intention to continue these sociables all the winter, and sell out all the old maids there are in the park. TIIE CAVALRYMEN'S BALL. At Turner hall was given last evening the firsi annual ball of the St. Paul cavalry | troop. The hall was comfortably filled with j dancers, who appeared to enjoy the occasion I very much. Representatives from the dif j ferent military companies in the city were '■ present and witnessed an exhibition drill, commanded by Lieut. A. Ostrom, which was very acceptable. There were eighteen.num bers on the program, which were danced to the music of Seibert's orchestra. Adjt. Gen. MacCarthy was present in uniform, and surprised not a few wirh his agility and grace in the lancers. The company broke ; ranks when the orchestra started up, "The Girl 1 Left Behind Me." OTHER SOCIEY. Mrs. E. X. Larpenteur, mother .of ' Dr. I Larpenteur, celebrated her 39th birthday ; yesterday, many of her friends calling to pay their respects. Last evening, at the residence of Adam Ran, on George street, West St. Paul, his daughter, Miss Lizzie, was married to Os sian Strong of the P. H. Kelly company. A reception followed the ceremony. 11. C. Schurmeier of St. Paul and Miss 1 Bertha L. Calderwood of Galena were I married in the latter city last evening. The wedding of Stanley Paul of St. Paul ' and Miss Sadie Riley of Indianapolis took ! place yesterday at the home of the bride, in j the latter city. Mr. and Mrs. Paul will make St. Paul their home, and reside. at the residence of Mrs. Armstrong. A TRIO OF FIRES. Hungry Flames Lick Up Property to tlic Amount of $8,000. About 9:30 o'clock last night a blaze was I discovered in the smoke-house of Alexander I RiCe, located: in the' rear of 417 Robert ; street. . The flame, .was soon extinguished by the chemical. About half ' an hour later a report came to fire headquarters that there was a fire at the | corner of Fifth and Jackson streets, and an alarm was sent in for that point. The fire | was in the commission house of Tierney & j Co., 417 Robert, and the department was : soon there. The flames had gained consid | erable headway, as the building was filled with inflammable matter, and the rear was i packed with a large quantity of baled ! hay. The flames were bursting through the roof of the building and it looked for awhile as though a conflagration ol danger : ous proportions was on hand, as the build ; ings to the south were rickety frame struc tures. Four streams were turned on, and after a half hour's hard lighting,the fire was I got under control, not. however, before it ! had . completely gutted the ware i house and scorched the roof of I the adjoining building, which was j owned by Patrick Hennessey and the lower ; part occupied by A. J. Collins as a saloon I and the second floor as a dwelling. Mr. i Collins moved the contents of his saloon i out, but his household goods and saloon j fixtures suffered considerable damage from water. Mr. Collins could hardly estimate his loss last night, but placed it at 82.000. on which there was not a cent of insurance. The damage to the building will not exceed $500, which is more than cov ered by insurance. Tiemey & Co.'s loss i was heavy. Their store was well stocked with flour, grain and hay, and this was en THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER su, 1885. tirely destroyed. They had just finished getting in a bis canro of flour, which was thoroughly soaked with water and tainted with smoke. Their loss Is about $4,500, in sured for $2,000, M. D. Miller, agent. The upper . part ,of i the building was occupied by Mrs. Miller, who had just moved in,' and succeeded in saving only her trunk. .Her loss was about §600 with no insurance. The building was owned by a syndicate, Cochran & Walsh agents. It was a two-story structure and is reported to have been looked upon with considerable suspicion by insurance agents. As Cochran & Walsh were both absent from the ci:y, the amount of insurance on the building could not be ascertained. The damage will probably reach §3,500. The origin of the lire is unknown. A THIRD ALARM. Just as the hose was being reeled and the engines and carriages preparing to leave the Robert street buildings box 14 was sent in for a blaze in Capt. Berkey's building, cor ner of Third and Franklin streets, No. 143 West Third. It proved to be a fire in the rag storeroom of Mac Kipsky, and was soon extinguished without material damage. A MYSTERIOUS VISIT. The Builders of the mill City In specting St. Paul. One of the best-natured parties that has visited St. Paul for some time took tea at the Ryan hotel last evening. It was made up of ten prominent architects and build ers from Minneapolis, the following being the list: Hon. Henry Downs, F. A. Fisher, George Goodwin, C. F. Haglin, Charles Morse, F. B. Long. FredKees, George iff. George Libby and Frank Grygla. As is usual with excursionists, they visited the leading features of interest in the city, and expressed themselves surprised at the won derful growth of St. Paul. They had vis ited this section of the country some years ago and would hardly have recognized the city with its palatial warehouses and business blocks. They took a run through the resi dence portion of the city, and were amazed at the elegant residences they beheld. "We are simply a band of tourists," said Mr. Kees, when asked the object of their visit. "We came down to ride in the elevator of the Ryan before they get their new one," said F. B. Long. "We came down to hear Mr. Downs make us a speech after supper," said Mr. Goodwin. "We just wanted to see the city," said Mr. Haglin. "We will go home before they count us in on the census," said Mr. Downs, "and I'm not going to stop to make a speech this trip." 'We wanted to get some points on building," said Mr. Morse. These are a sample of the replies they gave a Globe reporter, and though noth ing was said at the time, it was hinted that they were down looking up a few facts for the "Minneapolis book," which the enthu siasts of the Mill City advertise, on the quiet, will forever crush out all sparks of life that have been glowing in St. Paul since Frank McDonald filed the census re turns. AMUSEMENTS. The "-Mikado" at the Grand— ' more Concert. His royal highness, the Mikado of Japan, made his first appearance in St. Paul be fore a large and delighted audience at the Grand last night. St. Paul is so hungry for comic opera that almost any show of that character would catch 'em now, and probably a good many of the audience went last night just for the sake of seeing a new opera. They were happily disappointed not only in seeing a new opera, but in see ing it well sung and acted. It went off with great spirit, and, after the people be gan to catch the spirit of it, all the im portant members were encored and re-en cored. The company is evidently used to this sort of thing, for at each representa tion some new quirk was brought in, making it even funnier than before. All the solo members of the company fulfill the require ments of their parts. The chorus is large, but not as heavy in volume of sound as one would expect from its size. It is well trained, however, and brings out the choral numbers satisfacto rily. The onlyfhitch in the performance was an occasional evidence of rehearsal with the orchestra. This will no doubt be remedied to-night. The performance was a distinctly successful one. and is well worth going to see. The special scenery and costumes are brilliant, and would un doubtedly be recognized as correct by a per son familiar with Japan. A part of one scene is a handsome fire screen, painted by Mr. Fred Powers, treasurer of the house. The performance will be repeated the re mainder of the week. The musical entertainment given under the auspices of the Young People's Social union of the Jackson Street M. E. church was largely attended last night, and the audience received much pleasure. The program was performed by Miss Geist, Prof.-Titcomb and Hen- Stoeving, assisted by Miss Nettie Fuller, Mrs. G. W. James. Prof. Stiles Raymond and Miss Eleanor Seely. The performance was in the usual good style of this galaxy of talent, and con sisted of instrumental music for piano, or gan, violin and 'cello, with all their combi nations, and singing by Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Jan; and Prof. Raymond. The proceeds, which were gratifyingly large, will go to ward furnishing the parlors of the proposed new church. The date of the great Gilmore concerts is now definitely fixed upon as Monday after noon and evening, Nov. 9, after instead of before the Minneapolis engagement. Al ready responses are pouring in in answer to the request for subscribers. In some in stances blocks of ten, twelve and twenty seats were applied for. The management has fixed next Monday as the date when re served seats can be secured at the box office for subscribers only. A personal canvass is being made, subscription blanks have been left at the music stores, and it is to be hoped that all classes of citizens will respond lib erally, the price of tickets being within the reach of all. The Battle of Gettysburg picture was ex hibited for the first time last evening at the Exposition rink. It is a splendid panorama, and will recall vividly to the old soldiers the field on which they fought and bled and left their comrades to die. The Seventh street dime museum is pull ing good crowds, each performance after noon and evening being crowded. The giant Cooper is proving especially popular ' with the ladies, and the acting of the | people on the stage would do credit to a much more expensive performance. Another Suit Against the City. Miss Rosa Jerris, an English lady, has j commenced a suit in the U. S. Circuit i court, against the city of St. Paul, for the purpose of recovering $25,750 for injuries received by her in consequence of a defec- j tive sidewalk. In her complaint she sets forth that she is an alien, and a subject of I Great Britain; that on December 5, 1884, \ while she was walking along on the pave- j ment near Moore's block, at the Seven I corners, a plank gave away and she partially ; fell though the opening thus made, and in doing so struck her stomach upon the pave- • ment, whereby she was very seriously in- I jured; that the injuries then received caused her afterwards to frequently spit blood, and shocked her nervous system, and I that before the accident she was a strong, healthy woman. She therefore asks that ' the city be made to pay her §25,000 for the injuries she has sustained and in addition thereto $750 that she has paid out for; medicine and medical attendance, making j in all the total sum of $25,750. Breslaucr Acquitted. .^ ; Charles Breslauer, who was arrested some weeks ago on a telegram from an officer at Winona and taken to that city, returned to St. Paul yesterday. He was j charged with having been one of the party who broke into the state normal school and his trial lasted nearly four days. Yester day morning the jury, after being out ten minutes, found a verdict of not guilty and j he was discharged. He had been South for 1 two or three years and on his return stopped at Winona to visit old school friends at j about the time of the occurrence for which ! he was arrested. Mr. H. • Breslauer, bis j father, said last night that he would at ' once begin a suit for 525,000 damages for I false imprisonment. Mr. Breslautr was' . ■ ■ - . ■ • ■ :-■ .-....■: .• 1 very enthusiastic last night, and wanted to I extend especial thanks to W. Jackson of Winona, who acted as his son's attorney.

Red Wing; evening, Wabasha; Thurs day, Winona; Friday morning, Rushford; evening, Saudsboro and Spring Valley; Saturday morning, Owatonna; evening, Faribault and Northfield; Notice has been sent to each of these places, and opportunity will be given for all complaints. GLOBULES. Charles 11. Martin, proprietor of the Monte Christo, charged with keeping a house of Ill fame, was dismissed. James McLean, who struck a bartender over the head with a cuspidore, was com mitted thirty days. Frank Daggett, -who Is charged with bas tardy by Carrie Reidel, was bound over to the district court in $300, which he furnished. Chester Fitworth and Charles Anderson, the men who slugged Andrew Nelson in a Seventh street alley, had their case continued till to-day. A base ball game between the senior nine and the soph-jumor nine ot Hamline this aft ernoon resulted 7 to 13 in favor of the latter. The senior nine was only organized for the occasion. W. J. novorka, charged with neglecting to label patent medicine and selling poisonous drugs without registering, was discharged oh account of the complaint not being properly drawn up. Lizzie Johnson and Blanche Steele, the Monte Christo females who did up William Richter for his pile Wednesday night, were lined §5 and $20 respectively yesterday. Richter was sent out ten days for disorderly conduct. Mr. H. Breslauer last night found a red morocco pocket book at the corner of Seventh and Wabasha, containing paid notes for sums amounting to $200, and other papers that the owner can have by proving property at 516 St. Peter street. Hurt Clark and William Pleiss, the hack drivers charged with robbing John Raber and William Linderman. were discharged yester day in the municipal court. Their license was revoked, however, and Chief Clark says they must stay out of the business. Two large steam boiler., for heating the custom house, were received from Cleveland and placed in the basement of the building. They are five feet in diameter and ten feet in length, and they are capable of furnishing four times the heat the old ones did. Word was yesterday received in St. Paul of the death of Col. J. M. Winslow, who will be remembered as the hotel builder of St. Paul's early days. Col. Winslow was in San Fran cisco, where he had been for some time. His remains will be brought to St. Paul for inter ment. J. Howard, charged with collecting a pen sion of §1,900 for a widow and keeping 51.300 of it, was brought before E. E. Corliss, United States commissioner at Fergus Falls, and held to answer. He gave bonds. His arrest was made at Hubbard, Hubbard county. Mayor Rice returned from Chicago yester day afternoon, and when questioned as to the nature of his business there he replied that it was strictly private, and all that he could say was he found things lively in the Garden City, but was exceedingly glad to return to St. Paul. A letter was received at the mayor's office yesterday from G. Seymour of the Arlington hotel, Muskogon, Mich., inquiring if the name of the girl 'who was drowned with her father in the river at this point three weeks ago was Mary Olson and if she formerly lived in Winnipeg. Hoi- name was Johanna Olson, and so far as can be ascertained she never lived in the city mentioned. PERSONALS. E. C- Waters, Glendive, is in St. Paul. A. H. Reed, Glencoe, is at the Merchants. C. J.

Business in the district court yesterday was not very active and practically Judge Wilkiu was the only judge that held a session. A decision or two was filed, one case submitted and some of the prisoners sentenced the day before were sent over to Stillwater and out to the workhouse. The case of Lizzie M. Van Dewort against the Phoenix Insurance company, which was on trial before Judge Wilkin the day before, was sent to the jury yesterday after a motion to dismiss had betnmade, argued and denied. Mary N. Anderson has commenced a suit against Ole Anderson for the purpose of ob taining a divorce. She tells how they were married away back in 1866 in Norway, came over to this country, had children born to them and that three years ago, after they had lived together for sixteen years, without any cause whatever he deserted, and that from that time to this she has never known where he was and does not now know; that during the last three years she has earned a living for herself and her three children, the eldest of whom is now 18. years of age. I She there fore asks for a divorce and that her husband be prevented from in any way disposing of certain real estate he owns in St. Paul or from mortgaging the same. In Judge Brill's court all the business that was transacted was the calling of the case of George W. Dilley against Christopher Lud wig, and continued the same till Nov. 6. In the divorce case of Carrie Peyer against Emil J. Peyer, Judge Brill declined to grant a divorce. The point in the case that pre vented a divorce was that the court did not consider that the charge of cruel and inhu man treatment had been proved. He was therefore compelled to deny the application. All of the prisoners that have been sen tenced at this term of the district court, ex cept four, were escorted to their places of destination yesterday. In the morning Sher iff Richter took , Henry Eichorn . and Corne lius Cashman over to Stillwater, while Depu lies Clewett and Lunkenheimer took James Todd and James Conway, John Bell, James Carter and James Brown to the workhouse, and at 5 o'clock Officer Clewett took Lewis Young. Miles Farwell and James Ford to Stillwater. : - '.' Supreme Court. OCTOBEU TERM. John Erickson, appellant, vs. F. A. Elder, G. A. Eider and E. W. Elder, respondents; argued arid submitted.

Nicolay sold yesterday after noon at auction, on the premises, the one and-one-half-story house and lot No. 404 Ashland avenue, near Western avenue, known as lot 4, and the easterly one-half of lot 5, block 13, Woodland Park addition to St. Paul, together with 75x143 feet to alley, with a barn on the rear, for $$7,100. Free man P. Strong, Esq.,, was . the purchaser. A large attendance of buyers was present and fie bidding quite spirited. The activity in the market still continues.

A Fair Equestrienne's Accident, and a Husband. Mile. Brownetti's gold-mounted riding whip executed a series of sharp little taps against her bespangled skirts, as she ejacu lated rather excitedly: "I love you, I love you—that is what you men are constantly saying. How am Ito know, Dick Stratton, if it is myself you care for, or the salary that Firefly and I can earn? I wish to goodness I had just remained Dolly Brown instead of becoming the celebrated equestrienne, Mile. Brow netti. . Then I would have stood a chance, perhaps, of being loved for myself.".. »£,,, Ignoring the reproachful glance of her companion's eye. she added hastily: .: t ..-, "Now, there's Mason. lie swears he adores me, and yet if 1 should break my leg to-night, I wonder if there'd be one faithful among my many admirers?" Then smiling archly, she continued mis chievously: "Do you think it would be worth my while to sacrifice a limb?" "Dolly, you know "' Holding up a pretty dimpled hand, Miss Dolly, with a coquettish pout, stayed the words upon his lips, then shaking her head and assuming a doleful look, she reioined: "But they all say that." A saucy, rippling laugh escaped her pretty lips, as, after making him a most piquant little curtsy, slrj tripped gracefully toward the ring entrance, whilst Dick Stratton, biting his nether lip, exclaimed savagely: "An artful little coquette! I'll cease to love her from this moment." Which resolve he immediately set in force by hurrying to see that everything was as it should be about the trappings of Dolly's pretty mare, Firefly. The applause was deafening as Mile. Brownetti executed one daring feat after another upon her barebacked steed. Once or twice the little lady's eyes rested rather anxiously upon Dick Stratton's handsome face, and. she was decidedly piqued at his apparent neglect, for not once during the pauses between her acts did he approach her. Not that she lacked for attention, a bevy of her admirers being on duty in the ring, but the fair equestrienne appeared not to be her usual amiable self this evening, for her devoted followers were one and all snubbed. Mdlle. Brownetti was just about to do the finish by placing her foot upon the mare's neck when she lost her balance and fell, striking heavily against the ring curb. Perhaps if she had seen how Dick Strat ton hurried to her assistance, pushing the others aside as he, tenderly raising her in his arras, bore her from the ring, she would have had more faith in one man's love. The morning papers discussed at length the accident to the popular equestrienne, one of them graphically setting forth the dangerous risks of a circus rider, and con cluding with: "We regret sincerely the unfortunate accident to our fair equestrienne. As far as we can learn, although the little lady may live for years, never again will she de light an audience with her daring and graceful performance." Notes of condolence, flowers, etc., poured in upon the stricken equestrienne, and the first day she was able to receive, many were the calls she had. She laughed softly to herself as one by one her admiiers bowed themselves out. How quickly their ardor had cooled! "So sorry," etc., but not one had said to her—now she was disabled from earning her living, "Will you give me the right to work for you? Will you be my wife?" With a half-expectant, half-wistful look she glanced at the clock upon the mantel, as with a smile, followed rather quickly by a sigh, she ejaculated: "I wonder if he will fail me, too?"" Then with a comical little twinkle shining in her eyes, she added: "If he should, and he my last chance!" Uncommonly pretty did Mile. Brownetti look, despite her serious accident, as she lay propped up by soft pillows on a wide lounge, the color coming and going in her fair cheeks as she listened for a certain step. But when the owner of that step entered the room, it was a very sedate greet ing he received. Raising her hand to his lips, he exclaimed passionately: "To think of this, my darling!" /.,> ...,7 M .,» . "Yes, it's dreadful, isn't it?" answered she, softly patting the hand he had kissed, while again the comical twinkle shone in her eyes, but it died slowly out, and a sweet shyness stole in its place beneath the lowered lids, as Dick, his voice hoarse with emotion, said: "When you were well and strong you drove the love I offered you back upon me. doubting its truth. I tried to kill the love you despised, but it lived iii spite of me, and so once more I bring it to you. My darling try to love me a little—be my wife. Give me the right to protect and shield your' "Dick, do you really mean it? Do you want me just the same without any— any i ' ■ legs?" And Dolly was actually laughing i i while the tears clang to her dark lashes. *" '•Dolly, love me a little," and Dick, gaining courage, passed his arm about the young Kirl's shoulder. As she did not rebuke him, she did not I probably notice it. "Well, just a little," was the demure re ply, followed by: "Wont you look funny wheeling me about in one of those chairs! Not that I have made up my mind to accept you. You see, it would be such a dreadful sacrifice on your part." Pressing.her tenderly to him, lie whis pered: "Sacrifice, Dolly, when I love you better than my life?" Then his lips touched gently those near his own, as he murmured: "Dolly, my wife, is it not?" "I don't.suppose I can do better. It's not likely a helpless thing like me will ever get another offer." Then smiling at his protesting look, she added: "Now just let me blindfold you for minute, and when 1 say three you can take it off." As he would have submitted to anything from those fair hands, he obediently' knelt down to have the handkerchief placed about his eyes, and then went and stood as he was requested, a little way off. Suddenly lie felt two plump arms steal ing about his neck, and forgetting all about the one, two. three business, he tore off the bandajre, and there, beside him, hiding her blushing face upon his shoulder, stood Dolly. "You're—you're not—" "Minus legs?" she archly interrupted, as, humming an aria, she waltzed gracefully around him. "But, Dolly—" ejaculated Dick in won derment. "You dear old fellow, you!" and Dolly nestled up against his coat sleeve, as she continued with: "Don't you see, it was the only way I had of finding out, and the acci dent happened so opportunely. But, Dick, I think right down in my heart 1 believed in you; anyway, I would never have got over it if you hadn't—" The rest of Dolly's sentence was com municated to Dick's left-hand breast-pocket, and was never divulged by it, that I am aware of. A few days after Dolly's subjection the following appeared in one of our dailies: "We are glad to correct our rather prem ature statement concerning the serious ness of Mile. Brownetti's accident. The lady has fully recovered from the effects of her fall, and could, if she desired, once more charm the patrons of our popular clique by her wonderful act of horseman ship, but we can vouch for the reliability of our information this time. The little lady has decided to accept a permanent engage ment to play leading roles in domestic drama." — ■ KavanasU Sells a very fine Emerson piano, together with furniture, carpets, etc., this morning, at 10 o'clock, at the residence No. 574 Wabasha street. ■»! .
