,-.----, From the Saginaw Courier.
Few people in the Saginaw Val.
Icy hive not heard of Uncle Har.
vey- Williams, for he has been iden-
tiled with its history since 1884
Although leading the way for the
vast Development which has fol-
lowed, Uucle Harvey has not, as
many who came after him, sccum-
ulated great wealth, and now in
his SD year Is in Strengthened cir
cumstsnces. Uncle Harvey is the
possessor of a tract of land on
Thunder Bay, and . few Of his
friends, with his consent, have put
on foot a scheme to dispose of the
property, the proceeds of which
will carry him comfortably through
the few remaining days of his
earthly pilgrimage. 1t is proposed
to rattle the property off. six
hundred tickets will be issued at
IS each, the rattle to take place in
this city FEBRUARY 22d. The prop
erty as stated is located on Thun-
der Bay, about three miles from
Alpena, and includes a valuable

The Bay CITY and Saginaw pa-

The Bay City and Saginaw pa
pers are agitated over the mysteri-
Gus disappearance in this city of
Hortensia Garlic, the woman whom
they attempted to convey to Rog-
ers City, on a charge of larceny
The people felt 8 little suspicious
as to the final result, should the
captive reach the above place, and
it so happened that she disappear
ed from the hotel during the night.
Our citizens were not alarmed as
to the safety of the girl, and seem-
ed to think it was oil right, and we
guess it is. We believe the girl is
with friends now, where she will
doubtless remain until Molitor's
trial, in the spring. tff %

of the members of the old Cornet
Band got together and treated the
skaters to excellent music, notwith-
standing the number was small. =
1t seems pity that Alpena cannot
support and keep together a good,
regularly organized band. Surely
we have good musicians, an excel
lent teacher among us, and the
"boys" appear to be willing to do
all in their power to have and keep
organized good Coruet Band. All
that appears to be lacking is the
necessary amount of currency to
pay the expenses. Something
really ought to be done, and that
without delay. II TIA n rT

In the Senate yesterday petitions praying for
the enactment of a law 10 prohibit the manu-
fac,ure and sale of intoxicating liquors in the
District of Columbia and the the territories
were presented b. a number OF Senator'S. a
bill was introduced, similar 10 the one Iutroduc-
ed in tie House. for the establishment OF
pos al telegraph. 4 message from the Fresideut
was received endorsing the report OF progress
of the United States Centennial Commission.
4 bill to provide for the payment Of interest on
the District sos bouds was referred to the
Committee 90 Appropriations. Mr.. Thurman
concluded his speech upon affairs IN LOUISIANA.
He set forth clearly and forcibly the gross cleo
ton frauds by which the Returning Board
placed the usurping Governor Kellogg 10 power
against the expressed will of the people, the
Infamous acts of military interference by Sherl.
dan and his subordinates, and the weakness OF
President Graot'a Message in utterly failing to
deal With the material facts of the situation.
After some remarks by Mr.. West, the door
was obtained by Mr. Conk!iog and the Senate
adjourned.
In the House of Representatives as 5000 as
the formal was read, Mr. Butler, Of Massachu-
sets, as a privileged question, called up the
motion to reconsider tue vote by which the
civil rights bill was recommltted to the Judic-
airy committee, whereupon ensued buster-
ing scene such as has seldom been seen 10 Coz
grtss. The opponents of the bill used every
mode of strategy to prevent consideration OF
Mr.. Buffers motion. The yeas aud nays we're
called repeatedly on motions TO adjourn, to ad'
journ to Saturday, to Friday, all such motions
being voted down by the republicans. The
first resolution of the democrat platform was
read by way Of beguiliug the time, after which
the motions to adjourn we're repeated aud voted
down by yeas and nays. The credentials of

which the rule which prohibits smoking was
read, and then more yeas and nays were taken
on the motions to aojourn. An insld;ous pro-
position by Mr. Butler, to get the measure be-
fore the House, was promptly met by Mr..
Randall, With the statement tha. bis side was
ready to take up the necessary appropriation
bills first, but the contest upon the civil rights
question would simply amount to physical
struggle. He did not desire an extra session.
Datory motions were then continued, and at
o clock this morning the House was still IN
session, the majority determined to force vote
and the minority determined to prevent 1t.
