If each property owner would instantly re-
solve himself into committee of ono of
hammer brigade, with power to act on the
premises, a protuberant nail need not present
itself in any sidewalk in the city within twenty
four hours thereafter. Meanwhile, there can
not be extremely abundant sympathy for ladies
who received torn dresses from sidewalk nail
heads, so long as they persist in promenading
the public thoroughfares with the egregiously
lengthy trains now in fashion.
The most thickly thronged and most impass-
ably obstructed sidewalk in the city is that
| along the east side of Jackson street, from
Third street to the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul depot. At best, the foot-way is extreme
addition to these evils it is INSTRUCTED every
six feet or SO by the rear end of two-wheeled
truck projecting over the sidewalk, it is enough
to make any man forget his prayers as he hur-
ries to the depot to catch just departing train.
For the credit of the city, let this dray nuisance
are arriving or departing.
About half-past ten o'clock last night fire
was discovered on the outside of a small wood
en- shed in rear of Dreis g. hlitschs drug store,
corner of Ninth and st. Peter street The fire
origin, having been started by pilinga quantity
of hay against and partially under the sill, and
the wood appeared to have been saturated with
oil. The blaze was, happily, discovered in time,
and was extinguished by few pals of water
applied by Foreman Hall, of the hook and
bors Mr.. Hall preventing an alarm from beite
turned in, as the pronptness of the quenchine
rendered it unnecessary.
, The cigar trade of the city, an importan
factor in St. Pauls manufactures, showed
marked improvement during the month o
April. As evidence of this, the followin.
figures are adduced: Harrison & Verplancl
manufactured, in April, 100, 700. and sold l45,
, GOO; Kuhles Il Stock, manufactured 81, 1856, an
sold 116.375; and Miller Bros. manufacture
45,850, and sold 44,3O0 The returns of th
fourth large manu- features, Fetsch 4 O. German
t had not been footed up last night, but will b
somewhere in the neighborhood of those Q
Miller Bros. From the foregoing it is palpabl
that the demand exceeds the facilities of mar
o ufacture, and that st. Paul is quickly becon
, ing of the great cigar manufacturing Ger
ters of the country.
! During the month of April there were fv
y FIRE alarms and one false alarm. The latter We
turned in from West St. Paul on the frs
of the month. and one of the five fires was
q the baseball grounds, which the departme1
:, did not attend, not being summoned. The or
j. which threatened the most injury occurred
the Pfeiffer block, and the only one attende
with total destruction was that on Melrose ay
: nue., which was practically beyond the succt
!, of the department., and all were in frame buile
e ings, excepting in The Pfeiffer block. No acc
dent occurred to life limb, and the depar
!, ment did most efficient service throughou
In the corresponding month of last year, the
e were five fires and one chimney alarm.
" The National Fiaen,an's Journal, wide
circulating class magazine, in its issue of tt
9th ult., represents the chief engineer of Il
le st. Paul fire department saying, in his insn
e ance report for 1877 that: 1.-THE total loss
property has been 1896, 036.96. A large propo
!, ton of the insured losses remain yet unadj JUS
ed, the total insurance on the above amour
81 being $40, 711.56" This is gross though,
g far as the Journal is concerned, unintention
Misrepresentation Of facts, being the result
h the miserable bungling of the Pioneer Pres
from which the statement was undoubred
y taken. As previously stated by the GLOBE,
At its former correction of the Third street co
GERMS figures, the sum of S10,7l1.56 was Il
N amount of loss above insurance, and not 1T
- total insurance paid on the losses of 1877
