Happy Cal and Uncle Ben.

The Wagner and Cotton MINISTRIES come to us
with fattering notices from the Eastern press.
A New York paper says: .
Last evening Happy Cal Wagner and Ben
Cotton's minstrels gave performance which
will long be remembered as one of the best
ever witnessed in the city. The spacious Opera
House was crowded with fashionable audi
ence, which greeted the efforts of the perform
ers with uprorious applause and continuous
outbursts of laughter.
The programme was an excellent one. The
first part served to introduce the Rankin
Quartette. They are splendid singers, and
more than deserve the excellent reputation they
bear The jokes, witicisms, and comicalities
OF Happy Cal and Ben Cotton kept the house in
continual roars of laughter. They are all new
and fresh, and nothing WORKOUT stale was in
troduced. George Eustache, the peerless prima
donna, took the house by storm. His singing
is artistic, while his style is inimitable The
Glrard Brothers dancing is simply wonderful

man is the most faithful known to the stage,

ST. PAUL, Oct. 2, 1878.
Gen. a. II. Sibley, President of the Chamber
OF Commerce, st. Paul Mimi.
DEAR SIR: 1 hereby tender my resignation
as member of the committee appointed to
investigate certain charges against the Millers'
association of Minneapolis, of which commit
tee Mr.. L. B. Hodges is chairman.
In accepting place that committee |
olo not suppose it was possible CO ltingency
that should be denounced by one of our own
papers, whose editor is also q member of this
BODY, as having prostituted my position on the
COMMITTEES for partisan purposes, and of be-
coming the tool of the corporation, whose al
!eged abuses the committee was appointed to
l my and that, too. without the slight
est shadow Q. evidence to support such an ac-
cusatlon. The most unprecedented thing hav-
ing been done, evidently, for political
purposes, must assume that every effort
shall make in the investigation of the charges
would meet with like treatment. This of
course, would tend to render my efforts less
effective, and have no time to waste, nor do
l care to be dragged into political matters even
In this indirect way.
therefore beg to be relieved at once

JACKSON STREET P4yEMENr.
Prospect that the Work Will Not BE Do
this Fall After All--The Reason Why

Prospect that the Work Will Not Be Done
this Fall After All--The Reason Why.
The Jackson street pavement seems as
tract was awarded and confirmed. The mat
ter has passed between the board of public
works and the council, on an award, re-
fusal to confirm, another award and due
confirmation. Now comes the question,
'Will the pavement be laid this fall after all?''
To this dubious'shake of the head is given
at best, and a decided negative is no means
an exception with the city authorities. The
halt comes in just here. There
is a question between the city and Mr.. Star
key, who is to pay for the royalty.
MR. srARKEY's VIEWS.
The contractor was accidentally met by a
GLOBE reporter, and the gentleman's pres
ence naturally brought uppermost the Jack
son street matter.
'What do you intend to do about the paw
ing of the street?' was the first question
put.
81 am going to fulfil my contract, and put
the pavement down within the prescribed
time''
''Is't there hitch about the royalty bust
ness?''
"None that I will make. The city has a
| contract with VIM. Mcleod for the use of
| the Stowe pavement at 10
| cents per square yard. I'm
ready to go to work, and propose to the city
| to keep out of the money due me for work,
! the amount necessary to pay for the use OF
| the pavement, in accordance with the city
contract with Mcleod.
WHAT CITY ATTORNEY MURRAY SAYS.
Mr.. Murray was found in his office, and
in reply to the proper interrogatory, said MIR.
Starkey hadn't given in his license yet. He
can't have the contract until he does.
There's no question about the city retaining
| any moneys due on his contract. He must
| file the license with his bonds. The license
he will have to procure from Mr.. Mcleod.
ALDERMAN ALIENS IDEA.
GLOBE man had a casual talk with Col.
Allen about the business.
| He said he didn't believe the pavement
would be laid this fall. The time for cold
weather Is fast approaching and unless work
was commenced at once, the pavement would
not be put down. The gentleman said for
his own part, if the delay was further pro-
longed, he would oppose the construction of
the pavement until spring. .sInstead of get
ting his license and getting to work, the con-
tractor has started to bubble over the purport
and intention of his contract observed
| Col. Allen.
ut will not be done this winter, mind
you, }" was the concluding remark.
| Late yesterday Mr.. S. L. Pierce authori-
tatiyely stated that MIR. Starkey had failed
to put up the money for the payment OF the
royalty. He was willing to give an order
Tor the amount, to be taken out of his con-
tract. This latter proposition was not con-
sidered, and negotiations had fallen through

STEAMER BURNED.
Total Loss or the City OF Chester.

MEMPHIS, March THE Anchor
Line steamer City of Chester was burned
at the elevator here at 2:30 A. II. Two
lives were lost. The boat and cargo are
a total loss.
At 2:2O o'clock this morning the An
cnor Line steamer City Of Chester was
totally destroyed by fire at the elevator.
The boat arrived about midnight from
st. LOUIS, and Captain Zeigler, who was
unwell, retired after putting the mate,
whose watch it was, in charge. A num-
Der of servants were a. work in the cabin
when the fire was discovered, and the
first ntlms,ion they had OF danger was
seeing the flames bursting through the
cabin. The alarm was sounded and
every effort made to arrest the flames,
but within three minutes, the whole for
ward portion of the boat was wrapped
in flames, and threatening the destruction
OF the elevator. Captain Zeigler who
had escaped 10 the elevator by running
through the fire with his clothes over bis
face TO protect it, ordered the boat to be
cut loose in order to save the elevator.
All who had remained on the bost, being
at the stern were unable TO get to the
elevator. AS soon as the lines were cut
the boat floated out in the stream, and
many of those on board plunged into the
river, aad wore picked up by persons IN
skiffs, tug Oriole and the transfer boat.
Poison had in the meantime come to the
rescue and many were taken of. The
tug then towed the wreck to a point
opposite Fort Pickering and beached 1t
on the sand bar Only two persons are
known to be lost, John Herman, mail
sgent, and co!ored barber A. n.
Simpson, clerk, aud one of the pilots
saved themselves by leaping from the
hurricane root into the river and were
picked up. The boat had cargo OF 800
tons of general merchandise and large
number of mules and hogs, all OF which
were lost. The cries of anguish were
terrible and impressed the crowd which
had gathered on the bluff, with the be-
lief that the sufferers were human beings.
About o'clock the boilers exploded,
isrring the whole city. The captain
states that he only had fourteen psssen-
gers and that the two persons mentioned
are the only ones lost. The boat was
owned by the Memphis and St. Louis
Packet Company and valued at s40,oOo.
