The finest hotel ia the world was bur-
led in ashes by the great fire in Chicago:
the Grand Pacific. The building had
just been completed and furnished at an
expense of over a million dollars, and
its sudden destruction would have seem

since the destruction of this editice, but

proportions upon the same grounds far
eclipsing it's progenitor in every particu-

eT-'Twas lovely trio that appeared
before Esq Alexander last Friday.
Their names were written in the most
stupendous characters upon the largest
pages of the police criminal calendar,
their deeds ranking with the most con-
tumeliOusly disgusting that grace its
nauseOus pages. They were LESSEE Ash
ton, Mollie Hudson and Minnie Rose,
and they were arrested for cursing and
bowling and screaming ard fighting,
and everything else contradistinctive to
quietude and peace, and partaking of
the most Obstreperous and riotous i'm
morality, in Owen Sullivan's grocery on
Tuesday night. The scene which the
above language so inadequately pictures
is described by policemen Richardson
and Martin as the most abOminable,
vulgar, drunken and obscene display of
human depravity that ever mortal man
witnessed or heard, that would have
suited well that execrable phantasm
of Milton, the Fortress of Hell-gate.
The details of this fuss and fight are too
| lengthy to recite. 1t seems that the
brunt of the battle fell upon MOllie
Hudson and Minnie Rose. They were
pitted against each other, and amid the
fiendish yells of their companions they
went at it. Mollie was most too much
for the smiling Minnie, and after Il Sc
ries of gouges, demOniac ordinations
aud excavations, the latter emerged
from the combat with an eye looking
like bloody gizzard, her nose looking
rs if it had been put through sausage
grinder, and her general physiognomy
bearing a striking resemblance to the
map of Mexico. The Justice pitied
their deplorable appearance, and fined
them only 50 and costs each.

Ey- The Methodist Church is under
going repairs, in consequence of which
the prayer meeting last Wednesday
night was held in the basement of the

w. X. Jones as a school room. On the
night above mentioned the little flock

the young men whose browning virtue
is morality, but who does not suffer
himself TO be distanced in personal
adornments and the general fastidious
fixings of foolish, tickle fashion, found

them that this young man felt some
thing like water in the hole. He looked

was, and then wondered how a key-hOle

anybody else would do under the cir
