st. Patrick's day in the morning.
Two drunks. up to midnight, were all who
had been gathered in for breaking the holy
serenity and dullness of Sunday. Before Judge
Flint to-day.
In reply to the query, it was remarked yes
terday that when St. Patrick charmed the
snakes out Of Ireland they sought refuge in the
American citizens boots.
The city is all agog with expectation TO hear
the comic opera of II. M. 8. Pinafore, which is
to be brought out tomorrow evening at the
Opera House. 1t has had great run all over
the country. Men hum its melodies, women
drum them upon the piano. and boys whistle
them In the streets. We have no doubt the
Opera House will be crowded to its utmost ca
pacity.
St. Patrick's day will be made the occasion
of general festivity. This evening three excel
lent entertainments will be given; q dramatic
entertainment by the young people of the Ca
thedra! at the opera house; St. Mary's parish
will celebrate at Knauft's hall on Seventh
street neaH Gve, 8ea1Bt. Joseph's parish ladies
will give an extended dramatic performance
and supper at Armory hail.
Little Mack, of the old Red Cap base ball
club, with the. Chicagos last year, and Joe
Elllck, also of the Red Caps, with the Mil
waukees last year, play this season with the
Washington, D. O., club, the first named as
short stop, and the latter on third base. This
puts both in their regular positions. and it is
safe to say that if the other places are as
equally we'll filled the clubs trying conclusions
with them have plenty of business on their
hands.
Yesterday afternoon, Reuben Overpeck, the
livery man, No. 96 East Fourth street. saw a
buggy belonging to him 60 to smash, without
being able to avert the losS. He, with the bug
gy and rig. was down near the gas house. Over
peck got out of the buggy to adjust strap or
something, when the horse started off on q dead
run. He went direct for the fence enclosing
the gasoneter, and went through it like it was
card board. He couldn't bring the buggy
through after him, but left it on the outside in
a dlsmantled condition, wheels smashed, dash
board collapsed etc. Damages about $75.
Strange to say the horse escaped comparatively
unhurt.
Begrimmed with the stains of travel, and
grip-sack in hand, they came into the register
of deeds Office on Saturday. the victims to a
gigantic practical joke. They arrived on the
morning express from Chicago-the one q WE'LL
known lawyer of that city, the other his client,
q AoeoA AoePcI' "a IIlenu OF tue laICer pictured
in glow ing colors the grand opportunity for in
vestment that lay in piece of property owned
by him (the friend) in this city. Having sur
plus of the ready, the hotel man thought he
would visit our prosperous city, and if the
property appeared as represented, consummate
the proposed purchase He came and brought
his lawyer with him, and not until they had
received ocular demonstration, backed by the
assurances of the register, that no such prop
erty as given in the description existed in the
city, did they realize that they were the dupes
of practical joker. They returned home on
the evening train bathed in nimbus of inef-
fable disgust.
