2 ST. PAUL NEWS. PRIZE FIGHT TRIAL Bard or Soft Gloves was the Question - Barnes and Norton Fined for Disorderly Conduct. Special law Needed in Minnesota for Ring Sluggers-The Mill Probably to Come off To-morrow. The police court was crowded yesterday morning with about all the bhoulder bitters that St. Paul can show up, with a formid able array of sporting men and worshippers of brawny muscle to learn how the charges of disorderly conduct against Prof. Barucs, of St. Paul, the athlete, and Paddy Nortoc, the Chicago bruiser, would pan out under the law. The combatants, whose advertised mill wa6 so suddenly btoken up, just as peace able St. Paulitcs were about to 6et down to turkey and chicken-pie with thankful hearts, by Chief Clark and Detective O'Connor, sat eide by side in the court room evidently a little anxious as to the result, while a large part of the audience were evidently heaping maledictions in tneir hearts upon the two John's who in the maintenance of law and order had scooped them out of a $3 admittance ring fight to which no cou pons were issued for reserved seats, and consequently from which no back pensions could be liquidated. The prosecution for the city was conducted by Thomas D. O'Brien, Esq., as counsel, and the defence by W. C. Goforth, Esq. The testimony of Chief Clark and Detective O'Connor was that they found the defend ants in full battle array for a prize fight in the gymnasium, with a crowd of spectators, advertised to witness such a spectacle, and that they were armed with hnrd gloves, these being tbe coverings worn upon the hands on such occasions. The testimony of Prof. Barnes, Paddy Norton and an athlete named Webber was that the river Laving frozen up the idea <>f tin- advertised prize fight bud been abandoned and that that morniug It had been concluded to substitute for the original programme a hoft glove sparring match in which the man who tjtood u;> longest was to receive the purse. They :ili-<( jfftHfti that when the arrest was made they were armed with soft gloves only, or what are known tj the athletic world as in f;uit gloves, and used in the gymnasium for boxing exercises. These two pair of gloves were produced by the defendants in court. In the argument for the defense Mr. Go forth plead that the defendants had prepared only for an exhibition of bkill in the gymna sium building of which Barnes had the keys and to which be had the same privilege of in viting guests as though the same had been a private house. He cited the Sullivan-Green field slugging match in New York, in which the police arrested the parties in a private hull when about to -commence a struggle with soil gloves, and who on being taken before a criminal court were discharged, said court deciding that there was no disorderly conduct in the case, and that tbe slugging match was a private instead of * public bparring exhibition. The attorney then volunteered the infor mation to the court that a prize fight wan a ii«-t fight and consisted in knocking out. This gymuasium exhibition was allec samee In every particular as the Sullivan-Greenfield case. It this exhibition was a criminal of fense the 200 members of the St. Paul Ath letic club could be brought before this court every day. and all athletic exercises which have been allowed at Market hall the past ywir could have been broken up. The uttoruey then paid a high compliment to Prof. Barnes as an athletic teacher, and as a-reputable citizen and property owner. Prof. Barnes had changed the intended mill out side the city to a sparring match with soft gloves when it was found that it was impos sible to go elsewhere. Before the match commenced he wanted to see if the police would make any objection. There was no intention of riot, disturbance or breach of the peace, and he therefore a6ked his honor to discharge the defendants. Mr. O'Brien, for the city, said that never before yesterday had a prize tight been at tempted in this city, and this one bad been properly interrupted by the police. If the parties to it had acquiesced and not tried to defeat the intelligence of the public with the plea of infant gloves it would not be so cul bul)le. In takiug $3 admittance yesterday either Barnes and his partner had been ob taining money under false pretenses or in tended to have a prize tight. These parties had bulletined their powers of endurance and muscular prowess about the city for weeks, and the backers had been betting on tht in and a S3 admittance fee had been charged at the door for this purpose. The couusel ridiculed the use of "infant gloves" to be used by these parties in battiug each other until one or the other couldn't stand up, and in this the defendants Lad contradicted themselves, and al6O commented severely on the evasion of the statement that plans were changed by the freezing up of the river. it was a thoroughly advertised prize fight, the elements for a prize tight were gathered together, and it had no effect on the public good order whether the combatants proposed to mill each other in full-dress soft gloves or with their hands tied behind them. All the utterances of the defendants had been "prize fight" up to yes terday when all of a sudden the. pretense was, it had been abandoned for "soft gloves." Judge Burr said it was difficult for the court to determine whether this was a prize fight or soft-clove ease, but it was not dilfi cult to decide that it was a case of disorderly conduct under tt,e law. He therefore fined the defendents $25 each with the warning that the sentence need not be taken for a precedent in the future, and the 6how was over. OPINION OF AN ATULETE. After the crowd had cleared the court room the GLOBS representative at the trial inter viewed a prominent athlete as to whether, tmd the gymnasium assemblage not been broken up by the police,it would have turned out to be a hard or soft glove encounter. Thi* gentleman was of the opinion that soft gloves were at nrst put ou to await develop ments,:unl tiiat if there had been no interfer ence un the part of the officera, and the coast had proved clear, the hard glove coutest would have taken place. the amraapTA law. Judge Burr upon being interviewed said that while in many of the states of the Union there was a special law against prize fighting and express penalties therefor, there was very unfortunately no such enactment in the Minnesota statutes, and that he considered that among the Brat bills passed by the com ing legislature should be oue to cover this crime agatast the peace and good order of this etate. • . la this instance he felt that the police had done a good job for the city and county in setting square down on the first attempt to Inaugurate such a mill in this city, and their prompt action would save much trouble in the future. He could only punish this in fruetion of the public peace except under the head of ''disorderly conduct'Vhieh underthe Minnesota statutes took ab road sweep of criminal acts, or, in otiu:r words, <*overs "* multitude of sins." The only direct bearing upon this subject at all in the Minnesota 6tatute books mm contained in chapter 98, section 9, entitled "Offences against t!he Public Peace: Fight ing in Public Places— penalty," which reads as follows: ! "if any persomnot litfugafinrd with a dangerous weapon, shall willfully en gage in any fight with' an j other person or persona iv auy public street, highway, alh-y or lane, or la auy public hall, or in any inn, tavern, hotel, saloon, post office, or " other place of public resort, every person mi offend ing shall in -'li '.■in. -1 guilty of a misdemeanor, and 6halJ i.'C punished by iin prison liirnt in, tLe county Jail not more U.uji sixty days nor less than ten days, or by a fine not exceeding $100 or leu than $5. THB FIGHT TO COlfE OFT. There was a well authenticated rumor on tbe streets last night, that Prof. Barnes and Paddy Norton do not intend to give up the match, and that arrangements are in pro gress to have it come off outside of tbe city aud couuty to-morrow. A Card front St r. Harnet.

Before the opening of the prize fighting case in the municipal court yesterday Judge Burr cleared tbe docket of the small grist which bad accumulated at the city bail during Thanksgiving day and night The first case called was that of Mary Gil bert, known to tbe officer* for many a season when the daisies blossomed and when fell tbe beautiful snow, as "Dutch Mary" and as a feminine wreck of very bad odor. It seemed that last Wednesday even ing Mike McCarthy was in her company in a saloon on Seventh street, between Minnesota and Cedar, wben the latter becoming hilarious with drink she dropped rome subtle sleeping potion into one of his glasses of grog, aud when be re tired to the floor for a rest went through him for all be was worth, the amount being $35. She then fled to a high board fence house of refuge at Stillwater, where Officer Scheiffer, on whose beat the crime occurred, arr<-st'-d her. She took her three months in the BoMI of the Good Sbeperd without a tear, gently pulled down her old green veil and was es corted in state to the Black Maria. Mr. Jennings, who forgot to a«k the city authorities' leave to make an excavation on Schcffer street, paid $5 for his absent-mind edness. B. Cleary, a boned codfish specimen of immortality, for slapping his wife in the countenance and driving her from their shan^- in Polander hollow on Seventh street out into the frosty night and bitter blasts, was estopped from a month's liberty and trotted over to the workhouse. J. W. Deming paid two fivers for bis little fight with John Ollena at the Seven corners on Thursday morning, while the latter hav ing come into court late had his case post poned until this morning. V. Duttle didn't answer to bis toughjnamf when the drunk roll was called and his $10 bail was promptly credited up to the city; W.Morrl6sey for the same offense accepted a present of five days at the workhouse, while A. Pepkey, who was still mourning for a pint of whiskey in a soda-pop bottle taken from him at the city hall when arrested, to welt up the dry seams in bis now very dry jourcyman tailor stomach, wan ted to baste the whole world before starting for a vacation of thirty days at the workhouse.

TERRIFIC FALL. An Intoxicated Man Takes a Tumble That. Would Have Killed a Sober One, and Gets Off Without Broken Bones. About two o'clock ye sterday afternooon a man supposed to be August Becht, while in a state of intoxication - fell down the bluff near Cedar street, a distance of about eighty feet. At the point where be fen the decliv ity for the first fifteen or twenty feet is not quite perpendicular, but the next sixty feet following are about as near perpendicular as ft could be made. No one appears to have seen this man till he was well started on bis i way to the railroad track below. A man who was on the bridge saw him immediately after ■■ be started, and this gentleman says that for the first fif teen of twenty feet the man j rolled over and over till he came to the point where the declivity Is a rood deal more per pendicular when he seemed to slide down on bis back. A crowd soon assembled around ! the body and the patrol wagon was sent for. j The man was carefully lifted into the same ; and taken to the city hospital. After the | doctor examined the man be pronounced him all right and said there were no bones broken, and Utter on the same officer said he would recover. It is a wonder he was not | killed outright by the fall. When going down the declivity the gentleman who saw him, said that be half slid on bis back,bound ing along striking here and there. ■ The man is about 24 or 25 years of age. Upon his person were found papers which indicated that be lived in St. Charles City, Mo., and was a telegraph operator. He bad a pass on the Milwaukee &St Paul road. The unfor tunate man was very drunk, and while be in? taken to the hospital he was continually calling for "Bill." — — —^— — — — — The Robert Street Bridge. City Engineer Somers yesterday presented an estimate to the committee on streets of the cost of the proposed new Robert street bridge. Mr. Somers explained that be had put the figured high on everything, so that if there should be any change it would be a subtraction and not an addition. The max imum strength of the construction will be 10,000 pounds to the square inch, and noth ing but the best of material will be used . The figures given are as follows: Ironwork $196.~M5 Ma-oo work 123,336 Roadway 3,201 Woodwork, etc 58,010 Total *378.072 Mr. Somers says that a bridge made out of the material indicated in his specifications, and after the plans submitted to the council will stand trotting over and cause a vibration of only five sixteenth of an Inch, scarcely enough to be perceptible. There will be a sidewalk on each side of the bridge ten feet wide, so that there will be no elbowing and jostling of predestrians as they pass and re pass on the bridge. The channel span will be 330 feet lung and the others 200 feet The en gineer did not have bis estimates and speci fications entirely perpectcd, but will have them ready to present to the council Tues day. It was the sense of the committee that the necessary papers should at once be pre pared and bids advertised for, so that the work of constructing the bridge may be com menced at as early a period as possible. The figures given show that the bridge will not cost as much as at first estimated. The first figures given were $400,000, making a difference of $21,9*23. Besides Mr. Somers thinks be can cut down bis estimate on the stone work at least one fourth, and the esti mate on the cost of iron is put very high. The highest priced iron used was estimated at five cents per pound, but the committee thought it could be furnished at the highest for four cents, which would make quite a re duction.

As there were several citizens present an informal discus sion took place upon the idea of in corpora tion and making the organization permanent. Several plaus were discussed, but ail the speakers were of tin- same opinion as to the importance of forming a citizen's association to watch over the interests of the Sixth ward and more es pecially the public property of the ward. Up wards of an hour was spent in the discussion but under the circumstances of course no action could be taken. Several gentlemen however, stated that they will be prepared next Friday to place resolutions before the meeting bearing upon the matter of perma nent organization and on subjects of great interest to the Sixth warders.

At the municipal court Thursday morning an incorrigible vagrant got fifteen days in the cells. Three others were ordered out of the city, while a drunk got eight day . The Thanksgiving dance given by the Maenncrchor society at Music ball, Thursday evening, was largely attended, and a pleas ant evening was spent. They did not break up until early morning. Mr. Fred. Bean's team, from Alton, ran away from in front of Crandall «fc Barclay's drug store, being frightened by an engine. One of the wheels was badly damaged, but the whole loss will not amount to much over $20. Prof. Wm. F. Gorrie, formerly superin tendent of schools in this city, his son Wm. L., and a Mr. Fahenstock, all of Watertown, D. T., spent Thanksgiving day here, and left for home yesterday. They were pleased to meet their many old friends. J. Batchelder, of South SUUwater, was on Wednesday awarded in St. Paul the contract for building the bull of a new tow boat, No. 1, for the United States government. The work will be the best ever constructed in this section as Batchelder has few equals as a ship carpenter. Mr. Chas Greer is erecting for Wm. Mcln tyre a goodly sized building at the corner of Hickory and North Fourth street. It will contain two stores, one of which will be used as a grocers establishment and -be other as a butcher shop. It will cost when completed about $1,000. Some of the neWs in our column to-day may appear stale as it was written and sent or yesterday morning's Globe, bat was lost between this city and St. Paul. When here Is no Stillwater news or very little, in the Globs, you can rely upon it that that the package baa gone astray. Dr. Carroll will on Sunday evening preach a sequel to the sermon on 'The Religious Claims of our Country upon her Christian Patriots," which caused so much favorable comment The sermon on Sunday evening will be "Christian Statesmanship," and no doubt the church will be crowded. Yesterday we saw the view taken by photo grapher Kuhn, of Charles Bros., paying his election beL He and Schurmally are the central figures, and the greater part of the group can be easily recognized. The picture is a very fine one, and Kuhn may well feel proud of bis excellent work. Men are daily being sent to the camps north, and from present appearances it looks as if the cut of logs will be much more than contemplated. We regret this, when there is such a large stock on band, as a small output would undoubtedly advance prices. At the present prices the lumbermen cannot but lose money. Prof. Wm. F. Gorrie, former superintend ent of schools, of this city, now of Wat* r town, Dakota, spent Thanksgiving with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Berry, and visited the schools on Friday. Many of the teachers here now. taught with Prof. Gorrie when ho was in charge of the schools, and were pleaaed to see him among them again. The grain for the elevator here is cominsr in rapidly, fifteen cars coming at a time and which are emptied as rapidly aa possible. Some 300,000 bushels will be stored here. Tbe wheat all comes in cars belonging to the Manitoba road, the Omaha road taking them here from Minneapolis. Forty- tlv« cars ar rive daily, which are all tbat can be handled. Tbe merchants say they find business much improved, and things look quite tmsy in the streets. Grain is comiug into the city in large quantities, while beef, pork and other meats are plentiful. Meat is dearer in proportion than anything else, although prices have fallen through outside parties engaging in the butchering business. How ever a dollar goes further in buying supplies than has it done for years. At noon to-day Mr. and Mrs. F. 0. Norris leave for Washington to remain as long as the session lasts, Mr. Norri;s having been ap pointed to the position of private secretary to Senator Sabin. Mr. Norrts filled a like posi tion acceptably for the late Mr. S. R. Stira son, and having a good knowledge of human nature, he will make friends among the law givers at Washington. Attbe municipal court, yesterday morn ing, there was one drunk and four kxlger*, who were disposed of in tbe , usual manner. The case of tbe saloon being open on Sunday was dismissed, owing to the city attorney be ing engaged in the case of Hugh Campbell against the City of Stiilwater and not being present to prosecute. Tbe boy Oscar Peck was sent to the Reform school for larceny. The man McCormick, who bad bis foot crushed at White Bear by an engine a short time ago, had the only remaining toe of his foot amputated on Thanksgiving morning, by Dr. Came, the surgeon of the Duluth road. When the other toes were removed it was supposed that this toe was sound, but it bad turned completely black, and was beginning to mortify. He bas a pretty bad looking foot. He is being taken good care of at the Union house. The attendance Thursday afternoon and evening at the roller skating . rink delighted the managers. There was a perfect jam, and sometimes it was dangerous to state, because if one tripped a number would be down be fore they could avoid the collision. The paper festival in the evening was a fine affair and some of the dresses were 'magnificent and seemed as if it was hardly possible that such line costumes could be made from paper. It was a gay and variegated scene. On Monday morning the new collar pad factory will begin operation*, the requisite plant having arrived after being a long time on the way. Messrs. B. F. Rice & Co. will no doubt hare ail the success possible. The article they will manufacture has no equal in the country, as the fiutener is far ahead of any in use, and only requires to be fully un derstood. All the hands engaged are ex pected to be present on that moraine to be gin work. Mrs. O'Donnell, wife of Michael O'Don nell, bad her right arm broken a little above tbe wrist, by falling on the sidewalk opposite Mr. Pearl's residence on North Third street. Mr. Pearl, when he raised his house last summer, also raised the walk in front, and made an unseemly jog in the walk. Com plaints have frequently been made in refer ence to this piece of walk, and we under stand that tbe courts will settle who is re sponsible for Mrs. O'Donneli's broken arm. A jury will give heavy damages against some one. The attendance last evening at the first so ciable held In tbe Congregational church was large, and the delicacies prepared by the la dies were as readily consumed as if the pre ceeding day bad not teen Thanksgiving. The church is a very fine one, well arranged with comfortable seating. The pastor's study is a commodious one, and everything is in the best of order. A handsome sum waa re alized as the proceeds of tbe sociable. It is expected that the church will be dedicated about Christmas, and the pastor will be in stalled. The onion ThankseiTins: service at tbe First PresbyUrian church was well attended Thursday morning, the Rev. D. B. Cheney, Jr., pastor of tbe Baptist church, preaching the Thauksiiiviuir sermon. Among tbe other clergymen preseut wen- Dr. Carroll, Presby terian ; Dr. Dunn, Methodist, and Rev. Mr. Ricker. Congregational. Mr. Cheney took for his text. Psalm eilvii : 'JO, "He hath not dealt so with any nxtion." From this he preached a most eloquent sermon, gtviusj a resume of the history of these United States, speaking of its srrowth, its influence, its llb eralitv, its freedom, and showing that no nation had ever made such advancement in every way. Harry W. Smith, a veteran, and a member of Muilcr tat, N ... 1. li. A. R., died Thurs day morning from heart dis.ase. He had been confined to bis bed for only three weeks, although he had been ill by times for months. His comrades of the Post gave him every attention, a brother coiur.i>le always being at his bedside and the Post defraying every expense incurred. Harry was an Eng lishman by birth and a painter by trale. Hi joined Company I, Twentieth Regiment Michigan infantry in 1868, and wa< MTeivYy wounded at Petersburg, Pa. He was literally cut all up and it was a wonder he ever got well. He was a war pensioner, but the amount is small, as he was able to work at his trade. His comrades will take charge of tbe funeral, and another of the boys in blue will be laid at rest bcsMl his comrades In arms. Tbe funeral will take place on Sun day at 1 O'clock. The services will be held at his late residence, and then tbe Post will take the body to Bay town for interment. At the district court, yesterday, before Judge McCluer, Chaa. Clair was sentenced for the assault case on his wife to five months imprisonment in the county jail at hard labor, and in the case of assault on Allan Marty, deputy sheriff, the sentence was nsp*adc4. The arson case is still pending, and will not be tried at the present term of the district court. The case of Husrh Campbell against the City of tJUllwater is still ou trial. The whole of yesterday's forenoon was consumed in discussing law poiuts, and the sum mini; up counsel on both sides took up the giwttf portion of the afternoou, and at 4 o'clock it was given to the jury At the conclusion of the trial the court will adjourn until W.d nesday, when court cases will be taken up. Judge Crosby will try several of the cases, as the court cases are becoming very bi'avv, there being large additions lately. Toe grand jury is reconvened to meet on Dec. 8, as the ca«e of tbe ox thieves will be brought be fore them. Sentencing prisoners in our courts to bard labor is a farce, as there is nothing for them to do. It is an easy life for those who have defied the laws to live, and it is no wonder they like to see the inside of our jail, where they have notbfng to do but sleep, eat, and have a good time generally. The sen tence of the court should be, "to the county jail, where you shall be treated as gentlemen, having nothing to do, and when the paid servants of the county shall humor you any caprice under pain of being dis charged. There you shall be well fed, and kept warm and comfortable, and £your will shall be law." The prisoners are much bet ter off than the officials. If there is nothing else for the prisoners to do, the sheriff should supply them with a pile of wood and keep them working it from one part of the yard to another, and let them find out then is more than mere comfort in imprisonment, and the quicker they are made to under stand this the sooner we will not be troubled with criminals. The papor festival at the skating rink last evening waa the most successful of anything that has yet been held there. The costumes of tbe ladies would require to be seen to be appreciated, most of them being perfect in design, and the judges had much difficulty in awardiug the three- prizes. The following ladies were in complete paper costume: Mrs. Lemon, light blue ground with white trim mings, and hand painted panels; Mrs. Judd Orff, yellow, handsomely trimmed to match; : Mr?. Free McKu>ick, white, with silver tin- ! sel; Miss Carrie Webb, white, scalloped; Mrs. Northrop, yellow, with rosettes of whit- Berry, Globe and SaWßt; Mrs. Bar-tow, lavender, with white trim uiinifs ; Miss Em erson, red and white; Miss Roney, red, white and blue, and Miss Covell, plain white witbroaes of various < -o.urs.The first three were the winners of the prizes. The view from the balcouy was fine, as the different gaily dressed skaters passed in rapid success- >n. All the g'-ntlemen wore paper caps which were obtained from the Relief committee. The demand for caps was far ahead of tbe supply, wtiilst the raeettee also received an . active market. Mrs. Penuiugtou, of Pine Cit}. daughter of Mr. Eldred, president of the Relief SMJetj, sent a box of paper caps, hats and flowers, showing that she had not forgotten the poor of this city. The Relief society cleared over $43 and would have doubled tbe amount had they coffee and cakes during the afternoon. ♦ — — — — - Observance >•/' Thnsik>jir infj Day. Thanksgiving day was generally obseived here yesterday. During the fornoon the several stores were open, but were kept pretty well closed after dinner. As a sam ple of what was provided in the way of a dinner, we select the following bill of fare, provided at the Sawyer house, whic* shows that Thanksgiving can be creditably observed at that first class hotel : MENU.

Thanks also are tendered for the many beautiful and significant floral gifts fragrant with affection, that breathed their perfume through the bouse of mourning, and were laid as memo rial offerings on his grave.

Woonsocket, Nov. 25.— W00n socket the "gem city" of Dakota, is bound to be the leading city in southern Dakota if buildings will make it such. A few months ago I was here and I thought such a growth as it was bavins: was never before known, and now lam sure of it. To-day, the 25th of November, when people ought to be sitting ny their fireside toasting their shins, they are i busily at work erecting new buildings, not cheap temporary ones but large and sub stantial onus, any one of which would be a credit to a city of fifty thousand inhabitants. j The city is yet an infant in years, but an old one in size. It has the best of railroad facilities, and' is located in the center of one of the best agricultural districts in the territory, and large farms are being rapidly opened up, keeping pace with the city, which is as it : should be. The merchants all say they are do ing as good a busiuess as could be expected, ; owing to the low price of all cereals. In the county seat fight this fall Wood socket suc ceeded in winning, and now the county j business is transacted here. In the spring : the citizens will erect a beautiful court house. . As the evenings are growing long the eitl ; zens are improving them by attending the theaters and concerts This week the Elroy Comedy company are playing to full houses here. Last night they produced the "Hidden Hand," and gave the best of satisfaction. Miss Marion Bent, as "Capitola;" Billy Harbour, as "Major War field:" Edwin Kirov, as "Black Donald; S. S. Wiltsie, as "Wool," and Mrs. Bar bour, as "Pit-a-Pat," cannot be equaled, and their playing gave the best of satisfaction . The citizens have donated $200 to buy a set of horns, and it will but a short time now when Woonsocket will have a first class cor net band. The citizens of Woonsockit don't do things by halves. When they want any thing they go down into their pockets for money and pay for it freely, especially if it is to improve the town. ALEXANDRIA.

K. church Thursday morning, Rev. Mr. Johnson, of the Baptist church, officiating. Mr. Win. Fowler made a short visit to the New Orleans exposition, returning home last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. H. C Monroe returned from their eastern trip last Sunday, much pleased with their visit among old friends. In (imagination we heard the big noise, and saw the grand sights at the Democratic jubilee of Wednesday njght, and presume we enjoyed it about as much as the real partici pants, at any rate we know we felt better the next morning. J. H. Mackintosh, principal of the village school, was so seriously ill all of last week, that he was unable to be in school; he re sunned his duties again on Monday, but his health is in such a precarious condition that it is feared he will be obliged to give up hi» school entirely. The young ladies of this city got up a leap year party, which materialized at the resi dence of 0. Schabacker on Thanksgiving , evening. Of course they had a nice time, as whatever the ladies undertake usually proves a snecess. (Belva Lockwood, not withstanding). Mr. Barnhart, of the firm of Jones & Barn hart, siuce the election of Mr. Cleveland, declares he voted the Democratic ticket and ought to be rewarded with the po«tomee, while Mr. Huganin says he has received as surance from Mr. Cleveland that as long as he is a good boy and behaves himself, he can retain the title of postmaster, a "position be has satisfactorily tilled for over twenty years.
