A SCARE
Which Made n Good Deal of Noise on the
lamp Post, But No Where Else.


About10 o'clock last evening two women,
fn negligee, appeared on Bridge square and
applied themselves to the lamp-post on the
corner. They pounded it with bricks and
stones and finally secured club, with which
they made the air resound. A half-dozen
policemen appeared on the scene promptly,
but the woman continued to pound. After a
good deal of trouble they were induced to
tell their story. They came from the brick
yards, two miles away, in West St. Paul.
One of them, a Mrs. Baer, declared in mix
ed Plattdeutch and English, that her house
hold had been invaded; that short time
previous to the rumpus on bridge square,
while she was enjoying her quiet rneditations
In her chimney corner, four desperate
men MADE forcible entry into her
domicile, and forthwith proceeded to demol-
ish the furniture and raise old Ned generally.
An Officer was dispatched to the scene of the
unpleasantness. He investigated the sub
ject thoroughly and found out just what the
difficulty was. Mrs. Baer has a daughter.
She (the daughter) is q comely lass, and has
lover, as all we'll regulated girls should
have. Her lover, however, does not please
the mother, and therefore she forbade him
The privileges of the house. The latch
string he was not allowed to pull, and in
consequence he become irate and
designing, and by q conspiracy with
the young dansel to whom
he had pledged his youthful lore he man
aged to obtain admission to the house. His
presence was discovered and the magma
ton OF Mrs. Baer became like unto the in
vasion of an army of tramps. When the of
ficer had reached the ground the lover had
departed and the girl was enjoying that re-
pose which comes only to those who love
aud are loved in return. So endeth the
chapter.

Macauley at the opera House Last Nigh

Macauley at the Opera House Last Night
Our Opera house management, as well az the
community and visiting thousands now in St.
Paul, are especially to be congratulated in
having secured the presence here during fair
week of the great comedian Macauley and his
troupe. We do not hesitate to pro-
nounce the performance OF last evening one of
the very best ever given In our city. This
verdict was evidenced throughout every act,
from first to last by the frequent and pro-
longed applause, hearty laughter and alternate
moistening of the eyes of the large audience
which greeted this star comedian and his
most excellent supporting company in their
first appearance our boards.
The power and popularity of Macauley him
self, as well as of the whole troupe, consists
largely in the perfect naturalness of their act
ing, and it is safe to predict that the Opera
house will fail in it's capacity to accommodate
the rush which is destined to press for admis-
sion tomorrow night and at each successive
performance of the Macauley combination in
our midst,

NEW SAsILE, Juiy ~ Aott'
Quite an excitement was raised yester.
day afternoon by the rtimor that the
"Old jug" had leaked. On inquiring We
found that prisoners had in broad day
light climbed over the wall, the rope used
was made under the very eyes Of the jail
officials. This is none other than the nat
tral result which must arise from fact
that no less than two convicted murder
ers are constantly allowed up the streets.
Is there no way to avoid this leakage or
to put stop to this setting aside of the
sentences Of the court?
Yesterday afternoon we were visited
by terrific rain and thunder storm dur
ing which the lightning struck and
stunned two men at the Tasker Iron
Works. And later a stroke ignited the
cotton at the cotton factory few pals OF
of water put the fire out.
During Monday nights storm the light.
ming struck and splintered an immense
cherry tree upon the farm of DR.. A. V.

Would it not be well for the Good

disband and allow Of new company be-
ing formed? Or has City Council the
authority. In case of fire We are with
out the least protection excepting such
as could be afforded by 500 feet CT hose
and and the fire plugs. The insurance COM
panies which have interests at stake
should agiiaie this matter.

RECEIVED IN ENGLAND WITH

WITH DISFAVOR.
WILL IT BE OPPOSED BY ITALY AND
FRANCE?

LoSoN, July 10, 1873.
The Congress, in yesterdays sitting,
disposed of several additional frontier
questions, of a minor character and ar
rived at a satisfactory settlement relative
to Batoum. The reports confirmed that
the razing of the fortihcations of Batoum
has not been formally broaohed In the
Congress. 1t is stated that a special un-
derstanding will be entered into on this
subject. The question Is to the fortifica-
tons on the land side will not be discuss
ed, so that in that respect Russia will be
unrestricted. 1t is declared in high Rus
sian circles that this settlement of the
Bat oum question was arranged at pri-
vate interview between Lord Beacons-
field and Prince Gortschakof yesterday
morning The settlement leaves the
Lazi territory under Turkish control.
IN HAPPY ACCORD.
1t is also declared that at the same
interview Lord Beabonsheld fully and
frankly defended the Anglo Turkish con-
vention. Prince Gortschakotf replied
that Russia saw nothing objectionable in
the convention, as she entertained no
projects for aggrandizenent on the coast
OF Asiatic Turkey. He perceived no diff
ference between England's occupation of
Cyprus and her occupation of Malta. He
would always be pleased with every
thing tending TO strengthen England's
road to India, because calculated to pro-
mote the prosperity Of the whole world.
Gortschakoff and Beaconsheld then
shook hands as a pledge of the new rela-
tions between the two Powers.
