GryEk;-Dear Sir,--In an
swer 10 yours of 9Th inst, we have to say
-. son, explanation of the matter of the
Street Railroad tickets, Is entirely satisiae-
tory. and that no possible suspicion of any
wrong can attach to you with reference to
them. Truly, Yours,
j. WARNER, Pres. M. & R. /. Fl. R. R. Co.
T. j. ROBINSON, SEQ.
The above explanation, from the hand OF
Judge Lynde, and over the signature OF
John Warnsr, TO whom Judge Guyer has
explained how Street Car ticket came into
his possession, is published with pleasure,
| if it will excuse Judge Guyer from unlsw'
fully using old tickets. This documept
reaches Us in q round about way, instead o
direct from the party most interested, as i
should have. come, knowing as this public
does, that it is the policy of this paper TO d.
Justice even to its bitterest enemies and Pc
litical opponents, but nevertheless we pub
lsh it. In farther Justice to Judge Guyer
we here state what we have heard In refer
ence to his explanation, as the above com
munication seems to imply that the Stree
Railway Company have only excused him
whereas to state the nature of the explana
ton. will more fully exculpate him.
Mr.. Guyer's boy and another boy kept
pea nut stand and took the tickets in trad
and when pro6ts were divided, the ticket
that have been used by the family fell t
him. The boy sold them to his mother, an
instead Of their being redeemed by the Com
pauy, at the proper time, have been used a
occasion required by the family. This ez
planation has been satisfactory to the ohi
GERS of the Company, and certainly shoul'
be to the public, who will be pleased t
learn thst they have not elevated a man t
the Judges bench who would be guilty c
uniusty using old tickets on Street Raj
way over which. he once acted as Superb

FEvER.-The most contagious OF ell fevres
has brokens out in this City. 1t carries
annually to the grave many of the most
promising young men, and it is singular
that it does not effect or trouble the other
sex in the least. IL leaves the patient
either dead or wounded, and is as popular
to day as when invented. We refer to the
base ball fever, 1t has come, rather early
to be sure, bus it is with US, and now our
merchants may expect to be bored by CLERKS
for holidays or half holidays that the noble
sport may be enjoyed by members of crack
mines. The only club in this city on which
we go cent is the "Praire States" They
play their first game of the season with the
"Premiers" Of Davenport, this afternoon.
and if they can't scoop the "Premiers" we
don't back 'em anymore.

The press and public have passed judg-

people of Davenport. The members Of the

OF their position, their faces were no longer
than hundreds Of others in the house. The
performance throughout was such IS TO
command favorable criticism from all.
There was none of that broad burlesque 80

every set was such as none need hesitate TO
see and hear. Miss Weber, the star per-
former, is fair English girl Of sbout %
perfect in form, graceful in person, pjquante
in style OF acting, and sweet singer and is
blonde most certainly, not artificial by
eny means known TO the dressing room.
She is not what may be called beautiful, but
with her regular features and countenance
Illuminated BY saucy smile, and bewi.ch-
ing eyes, may be called exceedingly fascin-
sting. Her open, free and ingenious style
of performance is well calculated to make
her a favorite.
Then there is ketchum, a trump, and
probably the most erpreSsire man of talent
and native wit on the American stage.
There is another Crosbie By name, whose
way are not Ketchum's ways any more than
Miss Weber is like the petite, but interest
ing Cassie. This troupe open here on Mon
day, and from ell that we have seen we can
say there was nothing in the programme to
mar the strietess decorum in the field Of
burlesque.
