Church Festivals.

Strawberry and cream festivals, with
floral garnishments and young ladies
wearing Pinafores as an extra embel-
leshment, are now numerous and
popular. Scarcely a church congre-
CATION in the city would be complete
without one. Several have already
INDUCED in the luxury, and Others are
making preparations to enjoy the
sweets afforded by these annual and
often delightful ceremonies. In some
that art which is enthroned above
everything music, with a little dancing
thrown in, are allowed as a sort Of
side issue enjoyment for the young
people. In others this feature Is
ignored as wicked and extremely sin

Two boxes of fresh, ripe strawber-
ries for twenty-five cents is now the
regular market price. Even slender
purse owners can indulge in an oc-
casional delicious repast of inviting
berries at these figures. AS the
weather warns up and the berries
ripen they will become even more
reasonable. The delightful fruit is
coming out beautifully in many
patches, and several growers, who
thought sometime ago there would be
a scarcity in the seasons production
now report more fruit in sight than
they had reason to expect. Liberal
and increased receipts have been daily
coming in since the last rain showers.
Those of yesterday and to-day are
ripper and cleaner than any heretofore
seen in the market. 1t is only in the
vicinity of Bartlett, where the patches
were injured by a hail storm, that the
crop is likely to be shortOf last years
production.

They Have Taken a New Departure.

The enterprise of the Leubrie Bro
theirs is ~proverbial hereabouts. They
are always prime movers in some
scheme that promises to benefit the
public, and they have won wide re-
nown in many circles for their spirit
of liberality and industry. Recently
they have opened out a new and
6rst-class dry goods store at 261 Main
street. Their stock is large and
fresh, embracing all kinds of goods
most needed in a leading retail mart,
and they are bent on winning as much
popular favor in this line as in any
other walk of their previous career.
Their stock is complete and varied,
and they respectfully solicit a visit
from their patrons and friends and
the public generally.

wise he is in fine health and spirits.
1t is likely hat he will remain with

HONoRS EASY.
Results Of The Shooting Soraps...Ths
Participants BalIed and the
Women Clear.

Officer CHARLES Wilson, who was
shot in the thigh and back yesterday
morning, is getting along comfortably
and was in cheerful temper when Wis.
tied by some of ibis friends to-day.
He is reported to have stood fire well
during the fusilade, and only left the
battlefield when he began to weaken
from the effects of the shot. The
thigh wound is painful, but no bones
were touched, while the wound in the
body only penetrated under the outer
flesh, being warded off by a heavy
coat and other clothing. The two
male shooters were released on $1,000
bond.
One of the women was released
without a fine, by the police, and it is
said has since returned to the Sisters
Of the Good Shepherd from whence
she departed a few days since. The
other woman pads fine OF $40 yester-
day and went to her usual domicil.
The rolickers were on a fearful tear,
having visited various drinking places
previous to the shooting and loading
up with bad whisky.
At one place seeing a white police
man they made a few dncompliment-
airy remarks and were closely scanned
by the officer. Shortly afterward
they started on their wild career boot
ing and singing in loud tones until
they reached the pistol battle ground
at the corner of Orleans and Wash
ington streets. The affair is anything
but a pleasant one to either of the
parties concerned. 1t has a bad com
plexioA in all of its aspects.
John Hines, the hackman, who
drove the Quartette of shooting roll
lickers-two male and two female
about on their rip-roaring hoorah was
this forenoon let off, it appearing to
the s~atifaetion of Justice Porter that
he was not blamable for his conduct
on the occasion. John didn't try to
shoot any one, nor did he behave in a
belligerent way.

A River sawyer.

A heavy cottonwood tree, with its
lap, Or upper branches, %protruding far
above water, and its trunk and roots
hidden below, ioated lazily past the
city yesterday afternoon, directly in
the track ordinarily used by upward
bound steamers. Every now and then
the EARRING movement of the huge ex
forest monarch indicated that the
roots dragged the river bottom. 1t
had an ugly look as a whole, and forms
one Of the dangerous features of river
navigation. Should the tree fasten its
lower end near id-channel at some
point or in a bend below it will become
what is known among river men as a
sawyer, the swift river current causing
the upper branches to sway up and
down like a whipsaw. Such obstruc-
tions are often the cause of serious
injury to the upper parts or cabins of
passing boats. In days gone by, when
james X. Polk was the American
President, river snags were called
Polk stalks. They were largely more
numerous then than now, and the
policy of the government was to do
nothing toward their removal. The
snagboats now in service make occa-
sional voyages and keep the main
river channel in a much cleaner con
dition than formerly.

Annual Report Of the Chief of Engineers
of the Army.

Annual Report Of the Chief of Engineers
Of the Army.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-Gen. Wright, Chief
of Engineers of the Army, has just completed
his annual report. 1t shows that during the
wear the work upon our sea-coast detenses has
been limited in accordance with the terms OF
the act of March %, 1879. "These WORKS,
Gen. Wright says "are subject more than any
other national structures, with the exception,
perhaps of lighthouses, to the destructive and
deterioratng effects OF the sea, and the amount
heretofore appropriated for their protectlon
has proved insufficient, many necessary oroers
of repair and protection remaining uneXecuted
at the close of the fiscal year for want OF luias.
" No progress whatever has peen made
for several years past in the construction OF
new or the modification of our old works, built
before the inventions of modern ordnance and
armored shins for want OF appropriations
therefor, and l beg to renew the remarks ana
the recommendations of the last annual re-
ports from this department IN relation there-
to- A portion of the last annual report is
quoted, in which it is urged that sit would be
hut an act of prudence to make the beginning
without delay The disasters of the first three
months of a war under the present condition
of our defenses might cost the nation ten-fold
the expenditure that would be needed to
thoroughly protect our coast against attack.
Our great cities-New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, San Francisco, New Orleans, Baltl-
more, and Neutrality-suspicious. they fall into
tn hands OF an enemy, would suHer Ten lihieS
more than the cost of all the forts necessary to
secure them against such disaster.
In conclusion Gen. Wright says: sit is certain
that in our present condition, injuries to our
citizens abroad and insults to our flag would
not be resented with that vigor and prompt.
tude demanded by the dignity and honor OF
the nation, and which would be justified by
knowledge that our fine harbors, important
navy-ya1ds, rich commercial cities, and de-
partments for military and naval stores were
being guarded by impregnable Notifications
and Distractions and in earnestly urging the
Importance of early and reasonable appropria-
lions for our sea-coast defenses, / cannot do
better than to quote the language OF my dis
nv Committee of the House of Representatives"
= Especial attention is invited to the
estimate of 100000 for providing torpedoes or
submarine mines to be stored in our fortifica-
lions, from which they will be planted in time
