The Eleventh Judicial Circuit.

Late adviees from the judicial circuit
across the straits would indicate that
Joseph H. Steere had been elected Judge
by majority of 300 or 400 over Judge
Goodwin. A letter from the Sault states
that Mr.. Steere's majority in that county
is 266. The St. Ignace Republican
places his majority i'm Mackinac county
at about 100, he having II majority with
the township of Newton to hear from
and it was thought the latter cast
very near solid vote for Steere. No adj
vices have been received at this writing,
from either SchOOlcraft or ManitOu
counties, but it is thought that the returns
from the two would not materially
change the result, as one is strongly Re-
publican and the other strongly Demo-
cratic, and the opinion is that one would
about balance the vote of the other.
Mr.. Steere's handsome majority in his
own county is sufficient evidence of
his standing and ability in the estima-
tion of the citizens of the circuit where
he is best known, and is complete
answer to those who have been decrying
him on account of his youth and lack of
experience. Mr.. Steere served on the
board of election, at the Sault, and made
no personal efforts to secure votes, cast
ing his own ballot for his opponent,
Judge Goodwin and the result i'm his
own county cannot fail to be highly
gratifying to him.
Since the above was in type we have
received the official figures for Maoki-
nae county, which give Mr.. Steere 20 ma
jOrity in that county. The Manistique
Pioneer, received last evening, says he
received the unanimous vote of Manis-
tique township, 1O1. 1t did not give the
vote on judge in any of the other town.

Stations on the ID. NJ. tS MI. II. II.

From the St. Ignace Republican we
gather the following information i'm re-
gard to the stations on the eastern por-
ton of the Detroit, Mackinac & Mar
quette railroad. The first station is
about 10 miles from st. Ignace and is
called Moran, being named after VIM.
B. Moran, of Detroit. The second station
is eight miles beyond and is called
Palms, after Francis Palms, of Detroit.
The third is Carp Lake, 9115 miles from
Palms. The fourth is eight miles fur
ther On and is called Hendrie, being
in honor of George Hendrie another citi-
zen of Detroit. The location of the fifth
station has not been definitely fixed up
on yet, but will be at the junction with
the branch to Sault Ste. Marie. The
sixth station is 1917 miles from Hendrie
and SO miles from st. Ignace and will
be called Newberry. after John s. New
berry. of Detroit. The seventh station
is named Mcmillan, after James McMil-
Ian, president of the road and is 1015
miles from Newberry. The eighth sta
tiOn is located on the main branch of
the Manistique river, II miles from Nc
MILAN and 7615 miles from st. Ignace.
This completes the list of the stations
on the east half of the road. All of them
are located in good farming regions and
it will not be many years before thriv-
ing villages will grow up at each. The
tide of immigration is already setting
in in that direction, the company offer
ing their lands upon very favorable
terms tO actual settlers

The line from Gaylord to Old Mackinaw
Is divided into five sections. Work is
progressing simultaneously upon all of
them, and about half of the total amount
of grading to be done is finished. Track
laying will commence about the first of
July, and will be rushed through so that
the road will be completed within sixty
days from that time, and by the 30th of
September trains, making connections
by the ferry across the straits, will be
running from Detroit to point forty
miles beyond ST. Ignace on the Detroit,
Mackinaw & Marquette railroad. Nine
hundred tons of steel rail for the eXten-

and is now already in transit between
that city and Gaylord, portion having
already arrived at the latter place.

The above is the result as ascertained

THE DINNER FOR THE Chill
DREN.-The dinner given to the de-
serving poor children of Martinsburg
on Tuesday, under the auspices of
the Young Men IS Christian Associa-
tion, was grand success in every
particular. 1t was under the espe-
cial management of Messrs. d. Speer
and J. McC. Duckwall, and these
gentlemen spared no labor to make
it the complete success that it was.
They were assisted in the laudable
work by Mrs. j. w. Pitzer, Miss
Grove, Mrs. VIM. Gerhardt, Mrs.
John Peterman, Mrs. f. Boyer, Mrs.
VIM. Westrater, Mrs. G.. f. Ruther-
ford, Mrs. Farnsworth and other la
dies, who received the provisions at
the hall, arranged and prepared the
tables, and waited on the little folks
who took dinner. The dinner was
splendid one, embracing roast tur-
key, and other fowl, ham, sausage,
spare-rib, vegetables Of most every
kind-all prepared-cakes of various
kinds, pies, tarts, pickles, canned
fruits, bread, butter, coffee, and ev-
cry article necessary to make up
magnificent and tempting dinner.
Over one hundred little boys and
girls partook of this fine dinner, and
enjoyed it too. If all those who con-
tributed towards the dinner could
have been present and witnessed the
joy and delight of the little ones,
they would have realized how much
better it is to give then receive.
After dinner, the children were
entertained with music on the organ
and singing. Short addresses were
made by Prof. Hyde, Rev. j. III. Grit
fifth and David Speer. Then each
child was given a package of candy,
nuts, &C., and a nice red apple
apiece. And thus a hundred little
hearts were made happy for one day,
at least,of the HOLIDAY season. There
was large quantity of provisions
left over from the dinner, and this
was put into baskets and sent out to
the most needy of the families whose
children had attended.
The idea of giving these children a
Christmas treat and dinner, was hap
lily conceived by the Young Men
Christian Association, and success
fully carried out under the auspices
of the organization. In carrying out
their worthy project. good deal Of
actual want and suffering was dis

Galveston News,

There was quite scene in the
Galveston Court House the other
day. A young lawyer had just
finished an imprisoned appeal,
and dropped, as he thought, into
his chair, but missed the chair.
AS he struck the floor there was q
report as if young cannon had
exploded, creating much excite
ment. The prevailing opinion
was that pistol had been dis
charged in his hip pocket, but,
upon raising him up, it was found
that ne had fiattened out a beauti-
full silk hat. II seems that an old
but reckless member of the bar
was to blame for the accident.
When the young lawyer was
about to sit down the elder pulled
the chair away, but he had for
gotten that his own silk hat was
under that very chair. The elder
lawyer laughed boisterously until
he identified the mutilated hat as
his own, and then he smiled such
sickly smile that had it been
photographed and sent to the
Houston Board of Health they
would have been fully justified in
quarantining him at once. He says
that is no way for man to try on
a hat anyhow.

SOME scamp, on Christmas eve,
took Mr.. James Noll's horse from a
hitching-post in front of the Grand
Central Hotel and rode it off. He
was tracked to Bunker Hill, where
he turned the horse loose, and it was
found, several days after, on the
farm of Mr.. Thornton Henshaw.
Mr.. Noll went as far as Winchester
in search of his animal, and had
parties out in other directions, and
had almost given up finding it, when
on Tuesday he learned it was at Mr.
Henshaw's. If the party took the
horse just to ride home, he is proba-
bly, not aware that his act WAS theft.
