earnest address upon the subject of Oonsecra-
ton. Service next Sabbath at P. n.
The mercury skipped down to IL below zero
at o'clock yesterday morning, but when Old
Sol climbed to the zenith it was as perfect
weather as ever seen, even In Minnesota. Last
night was stinger. though, and at this rate
the quicksilver will soon gravitate out of
sight.
The board of education holds a special meet
ing this evening to pass the
teachers pay roll. The teach
ers will be paid on Wednesday to enable them
to have something to be thankful for. The
schools will be closed from Wednesday evening
until Monday morning.
Friday evening two young men brought q
brown mare to Weaver's livery stable and re-
quested the proprietor to take charge of the
animal until called for. The mare was in
harness, and up to last night had not been
called for. The occurrence was reported to the
police and it looks like case of woOdchuck.
The question was asked. yesterday, "Wby
has st. Paul not a soup house2" and echo an
swered, why" St. Paul is the only CITY of
its size in the country that gives the mendi-
can't and wayfaring man the complete go-by .
This, in view of her cold winters and boosted
philantbrophy, is more than passing strange.
A large audience filled the Athenaeum last
night, the occasion being the second of the
popular entertainments given under the aus
pices of the German society and Seibert's com.
plete orchestra. A charming entertainment
was given consisting of vocal and instrum IN
tai music, declaration and either solo. The
eonceris are the beat ever given In st. Paul
and deserve a liberal patronage.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon an I'M
fortunate young man named William Knapp
was found on Robert street writhing in vio-
lent fl. Officer Bahe secured a go-cart and
brought him to the city hall, where he under
went great suffering. Knapp is a discharged
soldier, his trouble having been brought about
by wounds received in the war. He is not adj
dicted to drink and is an object of true charity.
The Catholic fair, under the auspices of the
Cathedral and St. Joseph's parishes, will be in
augurated tonight at the market house hall,
corner of Seventh and Wabashaw streets. The

be the most successful fair ever given in st.
Paul. The committee on arrangements. head
ed by the Rev. Father Stanley. have been un-
firing in their exertions, aud the musical pro.
gramme for each evening, aside from the
main attractions. will consist in the rendition
of q number of choice selections. The fair will
continue all week.
Yesterday afternoon young man named ID.
L. Cunningham hired fast flyer at O'Don-
neil's livery stable and started out for spin
over the snow. 1t is not certain whether the
nag felt his oats too keenly or that the air was
too fresh for the young fellows head, Blu t
certain 1T is that something made that horse
go like creased lightning. About nightfall
the rig came down Wsbashaw street at break
neck speed and a smash-up was prevented by
the Intervention of Off Ger Clouse WAC yanked
the Oliver to the lookup.
About noon Saturday young man named
John Green engaged rig at O'Donne'Ps livery
stable, explaining that be WAS goiug over in
West st. Paul, and that be would return at 8
O'clock Yesterday morning he had not turned
up and the affair was reported tothe police. Be-
fore dark, however, the rig was returned to the
stable with an explanation. Saturday after
noon it was taken by two young ladies from
West st. Paul, who drove into Dakota county.
Returning they were overtaken by the biz
zrrd and night coming on they stopped at a
farmers house until yesterday morning. The
shafts were smashed and the buggy was other.
wise demoralized.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon a white
horse attached to the front "bobs," of q
sleigh came down Wabashaw to Third street
at a tearing pace. The part of the sleigh he
had with him was bottom side up, and when
he turned down Second street at Grote's place,
he cleared himself from it. The animal was
captured near the Lake Superior depot. and
brought up to Judd's livery stable, where he
was afterwards claimed by Mr.. w. Weis, the
groceryman in Pfeifer's block. 1t seems thai
Mr. Weis had been out driving, and was nm.
hitching the animal. when he made Sudden
break, left the rear part of the sleigh, and ran
away as above stated.
