The extension of the Wabashaw street rail
way has proven such an unexpected success,
would it not be wise to extend the same on
Summit avenue to the late residence of John
Wann, Esq.9 Such an extension would ac-
commodate large number of persons residing
IN that locality, and prove profitable venture
on the part of the company. What say you,
Mr.. Manager Walsh?

should settle down to the business of keeping
their doors closed against petty thieves. An
rack is temptation irresistible to the many
nomads finding their way to the CITY. The po-
lice are already being informed of many such
thefts, which could be wholly avoided BY due
care on the part of housekeepers, boarding
house keepers, etc. ~, 9.-.

was before Judge Flint yesterday, charged with
cabbaging pair of shoes from sFetsch's shoe
store, corner of Seventh and Robert streets.
Hhe examination proved that the young man
was bad off for footwear, and that he
thought to "hear' himself before the first
snow fall, simply this and nothing more. He
was committed for twenty days. and should
the fine weather hold out he may have chance
to repeat the operation before cold weather.

The drive we'll cases had brief airing in the
United States circuit court yesterday. As will
be remembered. some time ago Andrews, the
drive well royalty claimant. applied for sub.
stitution of attorneys, wishing to replace
Lamprey 4 James, of st. Paul, BY Smith, of
Minneapolis. The wish for the change arose
when Lamprey d James sent in q bill for fees
amounting to $4,000. Andrews protested
against such extortion, and like many of his
victims in the drive well royalty ($4O or there
abouts) went to law about it. The matter was
given to a referee. and yesterday his report was
submitted setting forth that Lamprey & James
were entitled to $1,000. The matter was
argued, Hon. @. D. OBrien appearing for
Lamprey & James, and Mr.. Lochren. of Min.
nespolls, for the drive we'll claimant. The
argument was finished and the court took the
matter under advisement.
