thing about Sells Brothers Millionaire Confeder-

challenges attention and admiration, while the
elegance and decorum with which every depart
ment is conducted, the absence of all pilfering
peddlers, and of every impOrtuning and pestifer-
GUS nuisance, secures the patronage and approx
al Of the most refined, and attracts many who are
not in the habit of attending public entertain

complete meRagerie and the grandest and most
classic circus you will see within its monster
tents the supremacy great aad only James Rob-

Progress on Fiske & Beem's new building on
La Sale street was interrupted on Thursday and
yesterday by the marshal, who, on complaint ar
rested the workmen for attempting to lay the
sidewalk stones "off the grade" as complainant
alleges. There is difference between the
grades of the Opera House and Armory blocks.
Mcssrs. Fiske & BEEN adhered to the grade Of
the former, which would make their wall some
few inches higher than the walks further south !;
hence the complaint.
There being no ordinance on the subject the
council met on Tuesday in special session and
passed one covering the point, and fixed a grade
as published on another page. On the strength
Of this document Justice Larkin fined Mr.. Fiske
$25. He promptly appealed and told his men to
90 ahead. On yesterday morning they too were
arrested under the same ordinance, and fined.
On yesterday Mr. Fiske applied for injunction
Restraining the city from obstructing the laying
of the walk, which was heard by Judge Stipp,
who will give his decision this morning.

An important business change was announced
this week, Messrs. Charles Forbes and David Lor-
riauy-Forbes q Notwithstanding bought the
book and fancy notion store of G. N. Cash & Co.
Both these gentlemen are we'll known to the COM
munty as among the most popular and enterpris-
ing of our younger business men, having done
business here for years. They will continue the
present business at the pi sent location and add,
as soon as the room Is prepared, a full line of
drugs, paints, oils &c. They can hardly fail OF
a successful business career, both gentlemen
having the experience of years in similar Otta-
wa and metropolitan houses. We wish them
an abundant ward.-Messrs. Cash & Co.'s re-
tirement will be regretted by many. 1t is graft
lying to know, however, that they will devote
their energies and employ the capital they have
accumulated in Ottawa in such way as to be a
benefit to the city. Having control Of the ex-
tensive marble quarries west Of the city we are
informed they pror' sc at once to begin an ex-
tensive develop.Lcnt of the same, charging the
qmrrying force and establishing working and
polishing departments. The lime making de-
partment will also doubtless be increased, the
quality, according to Mr. Trimbe, being equal to
tina, of Alton, considered the best made in Hi
nois-On the whole this change is gratifying,
fastening, as it does Mr.. Forbes to Ottawa, in
place of allowing him to wander away to the
west and enabling the Cashes to develope a
new industry that cannot fail to be Of material
Importance to Ottawa.

On Tuesday night burglars entered the resi-
dence of Mr.. W. P. Reese, in South Ottawa. The
party consisted of four men. Their entrance was
obtained by taking out light of glass from a
front window Getting into the house they went
to the sleeping room of Mr.. and Mrs. r., where
they secured the pantalooAs of Mr.. r. Thence
they descended to the pantry, where they helped
themselves to a couple Of loaves of bread and
eatables, washing down the food with bottle or
two of wine from the cellar, and departed with
their spols in chief In their bellies. Mrs. R.
awoke at their appearance in the house, heard
them and saw them but did not awake her hus-
band for fear of a fatal encounter with the men.

Concerning the Chicago, Hannibal & st. Joe
road, which Ottawa people have reason to be-
ieve will pass through this city, we find In the
Rail,cdy Age that this new project has met with
an obstacle at the outset, in the opposition OF
the people of Hannibal, Mo-, who do not want
the extension to start from Quincy, H., instead
Of from their city. The mayor and a number OF
other citizens have addressed letter to Mr..
Gould and others interested in the new enterprise,
In which they state that to start the road from
Quincy will be clear violation of the company s
charter, and quote the following provision:
| The Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad company
shall not itself, nor by arrangement or contract
with another company make, construct or use or
cause to be made, or used, any branch,
cutoff or connection with the said Hannibal e
St. Joseph railroad within forty miles of its east
ern terminus, Hannibal.
| 1t is proposed to connect the Missouri Kansas
& Texas railroad with the Hannibal & st. Joseph
at Monroe City. The letter asserts that such &C
ton on the part of the former road would be in
direct violation Of its compact with the Hannibal
bridge company, whereby it agreed to throw all
of its business for all time over the Hannibal
bridge. The letter then says: "This cOmmu
| nifty would be false to itself If it allowed these
contract and charter obligations to be violated
without using all lawful means to prevent it.
The communication then proceeds to prove that
the route from Monroe City to Chicago, by way
of Hannibal, is eight miles shorter than by way
of Quincy; that the route from Hannibal to Chi
cago is much nose practicable for reasons men
toned than by that from Quincy to Chicago; tina,
the bridge expenses at Hannibal would be less
by many thousands Of dollars annually than al
Quincy. Promises OF aid in addition TO the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, by which this coun
ty has already assisted the Hannibal e. st. Joe
company, are also made.
