NEW BUILDINGS.

least the usual activity in the building line
the present season in this city, and while
there are many places to rent in the lower
portion of town, where water is inconvenlent
" handy in the basement, and the nightly
serenade of frogs Is increasingly given from
all portions of the yards, still there are few
if any desirable tenements remaining unoccu'
pied, and this fact viii insure continuance
of construction and improvements.

| SAVING OF HIS. MoNEY.-It is not often
that man is willing to suffer the disgrace of
laying in jail to serve out fine at one dollar
can borrow it of anybody else to save himself,
but such was not the case with Andy Hanson,
whom Deputy Sheriff Brissell arrested for
having an extraordinary sized drunk on, and
after nights entertainment at the police
lookup was yesterday sentenced by Judge
Henry to fine of 81 80 for the unnecessary
| size of his spree. Now Andy, unlike most
| DRINKS on such an occasion, had money in
| his pocket, but he did not want to waste it in
fines, not he, and he didn't propose to. He
preferred to make a martyr OF himself and
stay out his fine at dollar a day in the
CountysJ all, for that money of his would be
moighty handy when he got out for to have a
would he do for these necessaries. Conse-
quently he wanted to go to jail, but to his
amazement the Judge would not let him, and
required him to come down with the coin.
| This he finally did under protest, and with
the evident determination stamped on his
face that by the holy powers he would get
even with the Judge and do as he was mind
to after all, by getting on another drunk and
being arrested without cent left IN his
pocket

COSTLY EXPERIMENTAL young man while
engaged cleaning a large front plate glass
about 7x12, at the corner of ] and Sixth
streets, tried to put himself on the other side
| of the glass without getting down from the
step-ladder to go round. He succeeded, and
took the step ladder through with him, but
