Lake Elmo is becoming popular with our
Minneapolis friends. Yesterday an excursion
party of four car loads spent the day there,
another large party is engaged for Saturday,
and still another on Wednesday next.
The Allis property was sold at auction yes
terday by P. T. Kavanagh, auotioneer, to AL
bert Armstrong for 81. $50, all cash. Many of
our capitalists and business men attended the
sale, and the CON petition was quite lively.
The Elevator company has commenced ex.
cavating on the east side of it's building for
its new engine house. hestructure will be
of brick, 1876, and will house new Cor
liss engine now being manufactured for the
company.
1t is reported that the committee on pub
lie buildings have selected MI. McManus'
building on Wabashaw street for the occu.
pancy of the municipal court during the con-
struction of the new market house. The
location is eligible one.
Yesterday wasn't a national holiday, &C.
cording to any almanac, yet it was very
numerous in DRINKS. Officers Calvin and
De Corsey carted in batch of three or four
from the levee, and officer Keefe lifted one
IN from Minnesota street.
When Henry Spencer confronted NUM-
cipal court justice yesterday morning his
face was wrinkled with the map-like seams
Of prolonged and inebriated debauch. Tie
charge was drunkenness, and he was given
four days in the cooler to sober up.
Mr.. ]. G. Donnelly made big trade yes
terday. He parted with II cents and re-
oeived in retu n two notes # the face val. .
Ut 1920. 1t Is to be discovered in the future
who's out most the man selling the 5000
or Mr.. Donnelly for buying them for IL
cents.
A genteel parsonage named Charles Per-
kins was before Judge Flint yesterday for
drowning his imagination in villianous
tanglefoot, and thereby believing that his
boots were filled with 10000 lizards. It ccst
him SIS and costs to realize the horrors OF
the jim jams.
A more dismal place than the district
northeast of lower Seventh street after night
fall is not imaginable. The oil lamps sup
posed to illuminate that portion of the city
are seldom lighted, and the plutonian dark
ness that covers the face of nature makes
pedestrianism matter of the most danger
GUS difficulty.
Some evil-minded persons have been cir
culating the report that it was Jacob Ceska,
Bohemian, living on Stewart avenue, who
was stabbed by his son. It was, instead, a
Polauder named Chaska, living near the
Seventh street bridge, who was cut, as the
GLOBE originally stated, and the attempt to
implicate Mr.. Ceska in the matter is purely
malicious.
For several weeks past the citizens resid-
ing in the vicinity of Seventh street bridge
have complained of the manner in which
their hen-roosts have been depleted, and all
attempts to detect the poultry thief have re-
suited in utter failure. A solution of the
mystery was made yesterday morning when
party of boys at play in the vicinity of the
bridge discovered nest of young foxes, all
OF which succeeded in eluding capture.
The contractor having IN charge the con-
struction of the building on the east side of
Seventh, near Wacouta street, should be Wis
tied with the strictest penalty allowed for
violation of the street ordinance. The side
walk is torn up in front of the building, ex-
posing an ugly chasm several feet deep,
thereby importing the life and limbs Of
every pedestrian. The matter should be
promptly investigated by the street in
spector.
muscular exponent of the manly art
named Joseph Kudihi got on the rampage
last Sunday, and for want of better amuse-
ment he proceeded to clean out the saloon
on Mississippi street, in close proximity to
to the bridge. He first succeeded in bouc-
ing William Otte and then paid his compli-
ments to couple of farmers, kicking the
buttons from one of the aforsaid gentlmen's
vest. He was before Judge Flint yesterday
on complaint of Otte, and paid $3.50 for
the amusement.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Ne
cessity has demanded a portable refrigerator,
or some cooling apparatus besides beer,
lemonade or mixed drinks for perspiring
humanity of late. A small boy is entitled to
the discovery of q process to outwit the
thermometers, which may be termed sscool
comfort" He was seen yesterday in front
of Unity church seated on one cake of ice
with his bare feet planted on another. Thus
seated, with no twinges of fear about twingee
of rheumatism, he serenely famed himself
with his straw hat, calculating now and then

A pair of bucolic horses attached to q
farmers team became frightened in front Of
Manufacturers store on Third street about 8
