The lVarh Completed in a First-Clan
Manner !
Capt. Smith, Hon. D. F. Boso and
J. F. Esferbrook, of East Saginaw,
and II. II. Weakley, cf Dayton, Ohio,
visiting in this city, and putting up at
the Burrcll Ilotire, suggested the lay
ing of a walk across Second etrc;t,
from the hotel to Whitney's drug store,
and for the sake of anntscnicnt, agreed
to lay the same for tho sum of live
dollars, the city to furnish the mate
rial. Hon. S. L. Carpenter and C. C.
Whitney pledged themselves to foot
the bill, and the bargain was immedi
ately closed. So on Saturday after
noon, at 1 o'clock, tho work was com
menced. Capt. Smith was chosen as architect,
and II. II. Weakley as Surveyor, and
they acquitted themselves in a manner
which proved tho gentlemen under
stood their business. And wo Bhould
judge from tho way in which they
handled the tools, that they were thor
oughly versed in the sidewalk business.
In addition to tho above arrange
ments, Whitney agreed to furnish tho
party with cigars and soda water, and
after working a while they would call
for tho luxuries, and then return to
business.
Tho whole affair was rather an
amusing one, and was witnessed by a
largo number of spectators, who seem
ed to enjoy the scene.
Each man worked with earnestness,
and performed his part of tho pro
gramme to the very letter.
About 4 o'clock tho job was com
pleted, and the scene closed, tho work
having been dono in a superior, work-man-liko
manner. No fault could bo
found, and tho gentlemen claimed the
reward for honest labor tho cash.
It is said that the corner drug store
did not contain as many cigars or as
much soda water when the work was
completed as did it at tho commence
ment. .
Caught NArnxo. We should sup

ed to ono tho low dens on Atwater
street, kept by Lib. Brown, whero ho
drank considerably and became parti
ally intoxicate. Ho then went into
a back room, laid down on a lounge,
and slept, ho thinks, for about an hour.
On getting up, ho went to another sa
loon and called for something to drink,
Entertainment. Harry Filkins'
opera troupe gavo. two entertainments
at the Alpena House, in this city, last
Friday aud Saturday eveuings. The
troupe is a good one, considering their
number, and those who attended were
generally Eatisfied. But on tho last
evening, Harry had taken one glass
too many, and whilo performing his
great feat with butcher knives, he
threw a knife into his wife's arm, aud
another in her shoulder. The good
little woman bore it bravely, and left
tho stage, the wounds bleeding freely.
It is stated that Harry had heretofore
threatened to tako her life in this
manner.
