Rand, and forced the order to the police
yesterday, enjoining them to see the city
ordinance for closing saloons on Sunday is
observed.
Jacob Heidelberger, farmer residing in
Plymouth township, was driving into the
city yesterday when he met with quite Sc
we're loss. His horse was FESTIVE and balkv.
and required all his attention to manage,
and between Pratt's place and the residence
Of Mr.. Potvin, he lost an envelope contain
ing $3.50. Driving into the city he reported
his loss to the police and offered reward of
300 for the return of his property.
The order from the mayor that the saloons
were to be closed to-day astonished many
innocent citizens who had been under the
blissful impression that the mayor and DO
lice had throughout been doing their duty
and enforcing the city ordinances. At least
they have read at times in the papers. of

A meeting Of journeymen bricklayers was
held last evening for the purpose of organi-

in the opinion that permanent organization
was necessary for mutual aid and protection.
Other crafts had their benevolent unions,
and it was thought the bricklayers were not
less in need of them. It was resolved that
the chairman appoint committee to arrange
for formal meeting, and submit articles of
organization. The chairman, Mr.. Parker
appointed on the committee Messrs. Dicks,
Frederickson, Robinson and Smith, and the
meeting adjourned.

lien Say.
A GLOBE reporter noticed Police Officer Slot
ten yesterday visiting the saloons on Washing
ton avenue, and desiring to know what was in
the wind, he followed him into Barge's and found
that he was notifying saloon-keepers to close
up Sundays, both their front and back doors;
and that any saloon or bar keeper known to sell
any liquor would be prosecuted. The GLOBE
reporter visited last evening some of the most
prominent saloons, and gathered the following
opinion in regard to the order:
Jules Myers thought it would be good thing
if all were made to close; did not think any
money was made by keeping open on Sunday
Jake Barge thought that the city would COM
pare favorably with any other of its size in
point of public morals, and did not see why
the saloons should not be allowed to stay open
as they have done.
us chance to go out to the lakes and enjoy
ourselves as other people do.
John West said it was BANKED outrage, the
saloons were all run quietly and that the same
fanatics who were now asking Mayor Pond to
close up the saloons on Sunday voted against
saloons was always commenced about election
time, but if that was the order he would shut
up.
John Furness said it was way up and he
was in favor of it.
Jim Dean said it a blanled good idea if
all would close up, but If they did not it was
wrong.
Richard Sweeney said it was good thing if
all the saloons were closed, but thought it
would take pile of money out of the town
which is usually spent here on Sundays:
