No Mayors Court this morning.
The new Council goes in tonight.
Rey.Wm. Longstreet Is dangerously i'll |
from a paralytic stroke.
Prof. j. ID. Hunt has been appointed |
Dfganist at the Fourth-street Presbyte- |
rian Church.
Coyington wants free bridge. She |
ought to have it. She has been working |
now for years to secure her ciliZens Tree |
transit to Cincinnati. Why she allowed |
the ferry to be disposed of, and why she |
now proposes free bridge, is more than
we can comprehend.
Col. Metcalfe, our friend In the Post
office, whose marriage we announced
few days ago, says we have been misln- |
formed. He would not mind 1t 50 much,
he says, ii some of his friends had not
come two or three miles to find out all
The particulars. He wants us to correct
Lhe statement, and says he will wait un-
I'll the General has tested 1t fully, as he
will take the word of no one else,
Quite an excitement was created last |
night about seven O'Clock, IN the neigh
borhood of Fourth and Scott streets. A
man named Weigel and his wife had in
their company two children that were
CRYING aud refusing to be led by them.
The children belonged to Mr.. PhelaR.
The driver of q Newport car, which
Weigel and. his wife wanted TO board,
refused to proceed, till the difficulty
was explained. Mr.. Phelan arrived on
the scene and claimed his children, af-
ter giving Weigel a severe drubbing. 1t
seems to have been the Intention OF
Weigel to abduct Phelan's children, in
revenge for some difficulty that hap
pened between the tW0 families some
time before. Mr.. Phelan proposes to
give the abductors the full extent OF the
law.
Willie Withers, son of James Withers,
of Scott street, who has been missing
since Monday noon, has not been heard
from as yet. 1t seems he had passed an
excellent examination at school, ana en-
tered higher grade. He came home at
noon. ate a hearty dinner, and asked for
his best suit Of clothes, giving as rea-
son that be was now in a room. where al
the boys dressed WE'LL and that he did
not wish to be behind them, even in
clothes. AS far as we can ascertain ne
was on the best of terms at school, and
at home he was treated most kindly and
seemed TO appreciate 1T, We can nnd
no reason In his treatment at either
place for his running away. 1t may be
Rboyish freak, running away for 2 DAY
or two to see If bis parents think any

and Mrs. Withers, but from what we
know Of the boy do not think they need
have any cause for uneasiness,
NEWPORT.
The old Council winds up tonight.
The Shert-line railroad carries the
garbage from Saratoga street to Cincin-
kali. Our notice of their delinquency
seems to have a sanitary effect on that
corporation.
A visitor from Frankfort, yesterday,
passing along Saratoga street, ex-
claimed, as the cars were passing the
nelievue-street Seminary: "Oh, What a
beautiful depot"

lumbus this evening. He expresses him
self satisfied with his visit to the old
homestead, and carries with him on his

Odd-feilows' Hall would be very
nice hall to hold dance in were it not
for those two cussed iron pillars. Last
night we witnessed some awkward
baulks made by the ladies' and gents in
attendance. For goodness sake give us
decent concert hall.
Bill Devine's dirt train last night de.
layed freight train for something like
two hours, and when Bill had cleared
the way the latter locomotive jumped
tle track on the other side of the river
I,pd kept the poor boys from their sup,
o Till 7 O'CLOCK.
Merchants in Cincinnati send clerks ia
This side of the Ohio to collect bills, and
in one case out of ten they approach
their customers with threat. Years
ago, when we done business ON Pearl
street in Cincinnati, no such mode o.
collecting bills would be resorted to
Nowadays it is pay up or shut up.
