CITY GLOBULEs.
II you want to ego to Rome visit the
Opera House tonight.
D. E. Hardy is in the city and will speak
at the colored Baptist church this evening.
The art illustrations at the Opera House
are admirable. They portray every scene
with rigid fidelity to detail.
The Belle of La Crosse, of the Keokuk
Northern line, was in and out yesterday.
The Belle brought cabin full of people and
good freight, and went out well loaded.
There's jockey hat and feathers await
ing an owner at tho police station. Chief
Weber picked it up near Seven Corners the
other night. The hat has tho latest style of
geW-gaw bands, is in good preservation, and
is worth the trip to the city hall, even at 8
O'Clock P. NJ, to reclaim it.
The Great Union bands excursion yester-
day took out fully 400 people to enjoy the
rich breeze, grand music and delightful trip
TO Lake st. Croix. There were at least 200
turned away for want of accommodations,
on the steamer Mary Barnes, and had to con-
tent themselves with Sunday at home.
The art Illustrations will be continued at
Opera House this evening, when Rome will
be thoroughly traversed. The entertain
ments have thus far been excellent, and those
who wish to enjoy an hour or two amid the
architecture and art of the Eternal city can
not do better than to visit the Opera House
tonight.
An article appeared in the GLOBE yester-
day accusing Officer Babe with brutally
clubbing man named Michael Welsh,
whom he had arrested Friday night. The
Information upon which the accusation was
based was incorrect. Officer Babe made no
such arrest. Hewas on that day serving his
tour OF day service, and at the time named
was OH duty at home. The GLOBE with
alacrity is anxious to repair any injury to
Officer Babe which has been done him by
the publication of an account which was be-
lleved to have come from an assured source.
The Great Union band excursion on the
steamer Mary Barnes, left the levee at 9
o'clock and made the trip to Prescott and
up the st. Croix about six miles, where at
l:3O O'Clock P. M. landing was made and
an hour spent in rambling through the
woods. The excursion, financially speaking,
was grand success, and nothing happened
to mar the enjoyment of the occasion until
few miles below Newport on the homeward
trip, where it was found necessary to cut off
man who was determined to create dis
turbance, and resisted the officers in irving
| to preserve order.
Mr.. George A. Swindell, the tombstone
agent and solicitor, mentioned in the GLOBE
yesterday morning, called at the Office last
evening and made general denial of the
| allegations affecting his business integrity as
set forth in the article. Mr.. Swindell SAYS
that be reached the city yesterday morning
and promptly reported to Mr.. Cummings,
accounting to the satisfaction of that gentle
man for every business transaction during
his absence. This being correct statement,
Mr.. Swindell is relieved from the odium at
taching to his name in connection with the
item Ill question.
The excursionists on the Mary Barnes,
yesterday, started out very serenely, but har-
mony was soon interrupted by two illy-dis-
posed excursiOnists, who wanted to fight.
They wanted to embrace the whole party in
their accommodating desire for fight. No

against the other, to the great disturbance
OF all theEpleasure seekers. They would not
desist from their quarrel, even when expos.
tulated with by the officers of the boat. AS
last resort the boat was headed ashore,
landed and the fighting twain were made to
walk the plank to the shore. AS they were
put off fifteen miles below the city, they had
a good time getting home.
The peace and good order surrounding the
neighborhood of Third and Washington
streets was disturbed yesterday afternoon by
disgraceful exhibition of brute force be-
tween two rufians in the fenced enclosure
back of Oelker's saloon, at the intersection
of the above named thoroughfares. The
''mill' originated from bar-room dispute,
and the principles decided to settle the un-
pleasantness by knock-down fight, and
the affair was witnessed by quite numoer
of spectators. Both men adjourned to the
yard in the rear of the saloon where blows
were exchanged for about five minutes with
telling effect, both men being very severely
pounded. The whole proceeding, taking
place on Sunday afternoon within few
yards of one of the most populous streets in
the city, is a burning disgrace to civilization,
and all the parties to the affair should receive
the severest penalty of the law.
