SALTWATER.
The members of the Universalst church,
at meeting held Monday night, decided to
| finish the church. The estimated cost of
completing the structure IS about $4,000, of
which $4,000 has already been subscribed.
The residence and the greater part of the
furniture of Thomas Shattuok, who resides
half miles from the city, was consumed,
Yesterday, by fire. The flames were not
discovered until beyond control The fire
is supposed to have originated from de-
fective chimney. The loss to Mr.. Shattuck,
who is at present in the pinery, will exceed
$1,100.
A rare treat will be the portion of those
who attend the entertainment to be given
to night and tomorrow night by G. Pond
Smith. This modern Proteus has received
high praise wherever he has given an enter
tainment, his powers i'll his special line be-
ing unexcelled. AS further incentive to a
large attendance it would be we'll TO remem
Der that the proceeds 60 to the benefit OF the
Y. M. C. association, which has been to
quite an expense in providing first class
course of entertainment for our citizens.
About ten days ago the attention of the
GLOBE was called to the cruel manner il
which w. J. Leslie had been in the habit of
using a young boy staying with him. The
boy was taken in charge by the neighbors
and sent to his home in Michigan. A letter
was received the other day by gentleman
in this city from the boys father, Hiram
Moses, of Bangor, Van Buren, county, Mich
;oo,, oouiDu thott tho how arrival hnma efa-
ly, and thanking the persons who kindly in
terested themselves in his behalf. It appears
that Mr.. Leslie left the above city at the I'M
usual hour of II o'clock at night and took
the boy without the fathers knowledge or
consent. The remainder of the letter
is devoted to a short history of Mr.. Leslie
publish, as he is at present verifying the say
ing that "history repeats ITSELF which fact
a number of our citizens are finding out to
their cost 1t would, perhaps, be we'll for
the gentleman to obey the scriptural injunc
ton, ''Arise, take up thy bed and walk"
as there are many persons interested in his
welfare at present.
N. W. B. A.
A social meeting was held Monday even
ing at the lodge room of the n. w. B. asso-
citation of this city. An invitation extended
to outside lodges was accepted by st. Paul
lodge No. 2, and Minneapolis lodge No. 4.
A special train containing thirty-five mem
bels of the st. Paul lodge, and fifteen mem
beers of the Minneapolis lodge, arrived on
the st. Paul & Duluth road at. sos in the
evening. They were met at the depot by
about seventy members of our home lodge,
81 H., &l,1T In,
ed to the hall.
The evening was spent in social converse
and listening to the speeches of number of
members. Addresses were made by Grand
President James Taumley, of st. Paul; James
Baker, of Minneapolis, and Messrs. Willard,
May and Rice Of this city. The remarks of
the speakers received gratifying attention
from those present. At II o'clock repast
in the shape of an oyster supper was served
up, to which strict attention was paid while
the cravings of the inner man remained IN
satisfied.
The visiting members left for their homes
at 1890, we'll satisfied with their visit.
Altogether it was pleasant affair, enjoyed
by those present.
JUSTIFICATION.
A p. p. reporter and the postoffice depart
ment appear to be completely mystiied over
some letters which, mailed in st. Paul, were
endorsed on the back of the envelope to the
effect that they had been received from the
postmaster in this city to be mailed in st.
Paul. The mystery boiled down 10 about
thusly: A Mrs. Sherwood from some towl
in Wisconsin was in the city last week, stop
ping at the Mansion house, and on last Sun
day gave gentleman who was going to st.
Paul letter to post in that city, which he
did. The gentleman is working in st. Paul.
and on Monday morning was surprised when
Mrs. Sherwood appeared where he was
working and asked him to secure her a
boarding house where the proprietor would
say that she had been stopping for some
| time. In explanation, she said that she lad
seen her husband at the depot, but evading
him went to the postoffice, had a money Or
der cashed, and now wanted boarding
house.
| 1t appears that the lady left her home in
Wisconsin to take the benefit of some baths
| in st. Paul, but instead came to this city.
She wished to secure boarding house
where they would say that she had been for
some time il order to blind her husband to
the fact that she was stopping in this city.
This accounts for her having her letters
posted in St. Paul. The remainder of the
story will probably develop itself in time.
