THE FETE CHAMFETRE.
The Closing Entertainment Takes Place
Tonight.

| HFete Champetre" of the ladies' Of Calvary
Church. and, consequently. everything went
off as merrily as those who attended the de-
lightful affair could have well wished it. The
laggards, and those who feared that a drop OF
rain might spoil their new spring bonnets
lost a treat, and the only regret we have is
that they are afforded another opportunity
this evening to enjoy one of the unique enter
tainments that are given annually by the
ladies of Calvary Church-for really they
don't deserve it.
The entertainment given at the Carrollton
Gardens last evening was interesting, charm
ing and complete and in every respect equal
in the way of decoration and stage dis
play to its predecessors, each of which
has annually prompted us to highly
praise the efforts Of the little but ener-
getic and enterpTisiDg congregation, so
devoted to the welfare of their church. Pretty,
yes, beautiful naidens were present In large
numbers, displaying coquettishly seasonable
attires, more difficult to describe than the
more pretentious garbs of the fashionable
ballroom. The Upide Club, with their mys-
tic drill, shadow pantomime, German recita-
tions and the songs of the Mount Zion quar-
tette, supplied the comical portion of the
entertainment. The dance on the platform
that followed, beginning as early as s o'clock,
was the more enjoyable on account of the de-
lightful breeze that swept over the fl0wery
grounds, and-well, as we have already said,
the first night of the fete was success in
every particular.
THIS EVENING
the entertainment will be equally pleasant,
for an excellent programme has been prepared
for the occasion, and there will be dancing, as
usual The object of the fete Is one that ap-
peals to the old as well as the young and as
the admission to the gardens is only twenty
five cents there will certainly be throng of
visitors to the cool and picturesque site where
it is given

ALMOST A RIOT.
several Parties Locked UP for Disturbing
the Peace

Yesterday, near midnight, crowd of men,
about twelve in number, entered Beckers
saloon, on Royal street, and asked for drinks
and cigars. They were waited upon, and
when asked for the money, Pat O'Brien, an
ex-polceman, one of the gang, told the bar
keeper to chalk it down. Being refused, he
and his crowd tried to raise disturbance, but
we're frustrated in the attempt by the prompt
action Of Mr.. Becker, who sent for the police.
Several police officers came in, and at once
took the men out on the street, where regu-
lar fight took place between the rioters and
the officers. However, the latter got the best
of the men, who were almost all arrested and
locked up In the Third Precinct Station on the
charge Of being drunk, disturbing the peace,
attempting to create riot and resisting the
officers.
The parties arrested are P O'Brien, s. s.
Thomas, Pat Casey, F S. GilleIy, John Monte
verde and Edward Mullen. The excitement
at the time was pretty high, and it was feared
that serious disturbance would have oc-
CURED, but for the determined stand taken by
the police

Mr.. Mcconnell, the attorney for the city In
the Gaines case, has communicated to the
Mayor the fact that the two experts ap-
pointed by the city claim fee Of $500 each
for their services in examining the alleged al
tered plan. Mr.. Mcconnell says that he OPP
posed the appointment of experts at the time,
believing as he did that the evidence before
the Master in Chaneery was sufficient for all
purposes, but the attorney fer Mrs. Gaines
insisted upon the appointment, and as it was
his right to have the examination made the
experts we're appointed. The matter will be
laid before the City Council at its next meet
Ing, with, however, very slim prospects of
being acted upon.

A Hard Ease.

Administrator Diamond was pondering
over the vicssitudes of the law yesterday
morning. He had just learned that Recorder
Smith had dismissed the complaint against q
Mrs Sarah Bell, charged with keeping a
house Of bad repute on st. Joseph street. The
administrator thinks that he Is necessarily de-
barred from ordering the removal OF the in
mates of the house in question, since the
court has decided that the sgners to the pc
tition declaring the concern to be nuisance
have failed to substantiate the charges CON
tanned in the petition.

Joseph Coogan, sailor by occupation, aged
80 years, lost his life yesterday through a
foolish bet. He had wagered fifteen cents
with friend that he would jump into the
river from the yardarm of the foremost OF the
ship Wyoming, lying at the head Of Nuns
street. He accomplished the feat and again
returned on board, when he attempted to
jump from the foretopsail yard. This was his
last leap, for when he disappeared in the tur
bid stream he never came back again to the
surface

How to Get Rid of Tram ps.

The authorities of West Chester, Pa,
hau decided upon a plan which it is
supposed will rid that borough of the
tramp nuisance. The plan is to put every
tramp brought to the county prison at
woK breaking stone for the borough, the
scen of operation to be in the yard at
tacbed to the prison. The boulders will
be lauled into this enclosure and the
fore of workmen be given hammers
witt which to accomplish the labor.
They will be required to work the regu-
lar hours of the day, and the Borough
Council is to furnish a guard to be placed
overthem to see that no one shirks his
duty and that no one leaves until re-
leas,d by the prison authorities. Those
who do their work the best and most
Willingly will be discharged first, and
thos who will not work will be subject
ed tt very slim diet. 1t is proposed to
put his method to practical test at once
and # it prove successful will be con-
tinud as long as workmen are furnished
by he police officers.
