DAYTON BLUFF.

The Residents of that Locality Organize a
Tax Payers Union.
meeting of the taxpayers of DaYton's
Bluff was held Saturday evening in the stone
house corner of Seventh street and Maria
Avenue. The object of the meeting was to
consider the proposed improvements to be
made on Seventh street and other adjacent
streets on the bluff. Mr.. d. D. Merill pre-
sided, and about thirty property owners
were in attendance. The object of the meet
ing was explained by Mr. Fir. Willius, who
called attention to the proceedings..of form
or meeting, q full report of which appeared
in the GLOBE.
After desultory conversation it was de-
cided to name the organization "The Fifth
Ward Tax Payers Union," and the Nom
bership fee was fixed at ST.. A recess was
then taken, during which twenty-five sigma
lures were enrolled on the books of the or
eanization. The meeting was called to order
by the chair and the association proceeded
| to the election of permanent officers of the
society.
The election resulted as follows: D. D.
Merrill, president; j. j. Lawrence, vice pres
ident; j. J. Lemon, secretary and treasurer .
| 1t was decided that the former executive
committee should continue to serve until
the appointment of their successors, which
will be made by the chair.
City Engineer Sewal was then called upon
to explain his views concerning the proposed
change of grade of the streets on the bluff
and of the filling in of Phalen creek. Mr..
Sewall spoke in favor of filling in the valley,
which he thought could be accomplished by
using the dirt taken in bringing the streets
to grade. He thought the filling in process
much more desirable than bridge, from
! whatever point considered.
In reply to query, it was explained that
the steepest grade on the street was six feet
to the 100 feet, and that it was proposed to
reduce the grade to four and four-tenths
feet, in order to make it accessible for street
car travel.
On motion of Mr.. Willius the society con-
sidered the question of the necessity of Sc
curing culvert and permanent filling over
Phalen's creek in place of the bridge. The
question was considered in the affirmative
and remarks were made by number of gen.
tlemen, all of whom we're in favor of filling
in the valley. The immense benefits arising
from the process were illustrated, and it was
shown that the value of the property would
be increased more than one half. A vote
was taken on the question and nearly all
present were in favor of having the valley
filed. After discussing the proposed chang
es in the grades the meeting adjourned.

the present time and we find Chicago leading,
with a record of s games won and lost, with
Worcester next, Ga; Cleveland SIS; Boston
A; Providence and Troy 3-5 each; Cincin-
natl 2-6; Buffalo ~. Buffalo and Chicago
have played one more game than the other
clubs, each of which have lost day by rain.
The Chicago nine is playing a strong and lucky
game, playing five last week, two asaint Gin
cinnatI and three against Buffalo, all of which
it won, two of them after they were beaten,
gained by steady play and by a combination of
fortunate circumstances. Worcester, standing
next, is also playing strong game, starting in
last week by winning the third consecutive
game off the champion Providence after that
club had secured a commanding lead and ap-
parently had the game safe, strong steady play
and good luck combined doing the business.
The champions, after beating the Bostons two
out of three games in the first weeks play,
have since done badly, two of their defeats be-
ing lost after good leads had been secured
through Ward, the pitcher, weakening, and
costly errors by Gross and others at critical
times. The Boston nineis steadily improving,
while the play of the Olevelands is little er-
ratio, unusually strong at times and then again
loose. Cincinnati appears to be followed by
bad luck, its errors occurring always at critical
times, and bringing disaster. Will White is
pitching splendid. The Buffalos an d Trogans
are at the foot of the list and likely to remain
there.

train from Lexington, and now over 300
thoroughbreds are here to take part in the
coming carnival and racing. The Jockey
Clubs grounds are alive with people taking
notes and points for the Derby. There is
every indication that the Derby will be a
gala day to the citizens of Louisville.
Strangers are beginning to crowd the corri-
doris of the hotels, and nothing in the annals
of the turf will compare with the racing
events of the next eight days. Fouso, Quits,
KimbalI and Kinkead seem to be the leading
favor ties, but the dark division is 80 strong
that the field will be we'll backed.

The business of prize fighting is on the
decline, and will soon disappear entirely
from this country. For many years past it
has been out of repute in all the States, and
each meeting held has been interrupted by

spoiled, the thugs have of late gone over the
border to indulge in their pastime, but now
the Canadian authorities have taken the
matter in hand and declare that no more
mills will take place in the Queens American

st. Paul is taking rapid strides towards
making record for destructive fires, second

from box No. 80, few minutes after 6
o'clock last night announced what was des
tined to be the warmest blaze and one of the
most destructive fires of the year.
large, black volume of smoke issuing
from the vicinity of the gas works on Fifth
street indicated that the fire was in that Vi
cinity, and before the fastest stopper could
come within view of the location the i'm
mense furniture warehouse of DeCoster &
Clark, situated on the corner of Fourth and
Pine streets, was entirely enveloped in
flames. The Department were promptly on
hand, but their efforts to master the flames
were futile.
The building, q frame structure, was
filled with furniture, in addition to which,
it contained quantity of oil and varnish,
used in the repair of furniture. The fire
burned quite as fercely as if fed on powder.
The flames curled into the air for hundreds
of feet, and thousands of spectators viewed
the fearful spectacle with alarm, as it threat
ened momentarily to spread to the gas works
and adjoining buildings.
The heat was of course intense and forbid
approach to the burning edifice, most Of the
spectators keeping at a safe distance. At
one time it looked as if the fire would ig
mite number of tar barrels next to the gas
house, but this calamity was arrested by
keeping constant stream of water on the
barrels.
Several families occupying cottages in the
vicinity took the precaution to remove their
furniture, the wisdom of which was after
wards demonstrated. The fire burned for
nearly an hour and died out for lack of ma
terial to feed upon. The origin of the fire
is unknown bat it is supposed to have been
caused by the combustion of lot of oil
rags.
During the afternoon men were at work
in the repairing room but at O'Clock the
building was apparently safe. The total
loss is $26, 200, $25, 600 of which was in
stock. the balance being the cost of the
building. The stock was insured for $780,
600 and the building for 81 300, placed in

He Lined His Vest with Greenbacks and'

Up to last Saturday James Moran aud Ed
ward Nealy worked together like couple of
well matched pole horses. They have been
on the turf long time and always travelled
as bosom cronies and fast friends. This
morning week ago they arrived in St Paul
from the beautiful lake town of Waukegan,
and engaged a room at Burnand's boarding
house on Fourth street. Moran procured
work at Overpeck's livery stable, leaving his
wearing apparel at the room, which was
solely occupied by yonng Nealy.
Last Saturday Moran was surprised to
learn that the room had been entered and a
quantity of his clothing stolen, together
with q few articles belonging to Nealy.
Upon hearing of the robbery the feelings OF
Moran took on the sallow hue of consterna-
ton for among other things vest was stolen
in the lining of which was carefully sewed
the sum of $3.50, representing the savings
of many hours hard labor.
3 The affair was reported to the police, and
yesterday morning Chief Weber and Capt.
Clark had conversation with Nealy which
resulted in locking him up on suspicion of
having stolen the money, and made way with
the clothing as ruse to conceal the crime.
Nealy denies all completely in the act, but
as he has occupied the room alone for seve-
raj days, the circumstances point almost d.
rectly TO his guilt.
