In spite OF this agreement, however,
the state Of this particular branch OF
trade has been growing worse and
worse, and it is an undisputed fact that
coal is now being sold at q loss OF about
25 cents per ton. Bankruptcy seems to
be inevitable to certain companies. In

Cutting i'm Bucktown.

John Dex!er (colored), formerly a
deck-hand on the steamer Virgie Lee,
was at James Cunningham'S place,
at No. 204 East Sixth street. and
attempted to persuade one Of the girls,
who boarded there, to go with him to
ball ON Sixth street, near Culyert.
Cunningham interfered, words were
followed by blows, and finally he drew
a knife and cut Dexter in the left leg,
causing an ugly cash about three inches
long.
D. xter and Cunningham were brought
to Hammond ,treet station.
The latter was arraigned In the Police
Court this morning on charge OF disor-
derby conduct. The case was continued
until next Saturday.
As soon as Dexter is able to be out, a
charge Of cutting with intent to kill will
be preferred against Cunningham.

This exquisite and chaste musical and
scenic performance represents the do
lngs in farm life in hay making times.
The old farmer with his helpers now
ing, spreading and wagoning the
hay, replete throughout with those
sweet and pleasing harmonies that
never fail to raise up in those who have
spent these times in the meadows IN
harvest time, nor missed pleasing and
lending enchantment to those who have
not had the pleasure Of living in the
country; in word, it gives a very nice
descriptive idea oil what the sturdy old
farmer does In such times.
It would be we'll for those who love
country scenes to be lively and procure
their tickets, ii they have not done SO
already. We predict for all that attend
an evenings enjoyment in the winding
up of the amusement season that they
w IL not regret.
