Clouds of Flying Ants.

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 24.-The people of Emerson were recently startled by an unusual phenomenon in the shape of clouds of ants flying through the air from west to east, and extending for miles around. They were ap- parently ordinary black ants and provided with wings. During the night myriads of these insects came to the earth, and the streets and sidewalks were black with them. The Red river was also covered with a coating of the ants an inch thick It is supposed that the heavy storms have driven them this way. The atmosphere was exceed ingly sultry, and the light was considerably impaired, heavy were the clouds during the time in which the ants were passing over the town.

ton to hunt buffalo and fufi of ponies ot whatever side of the line they may find them But this raid Is the less excusable since there is said to be no lack of game on their own reservation on the north of the line. The scene of the operations is the country be tween the east and west parks of the Milk river to the neighberhood of old Fort Bel sknap: It is hardly expected that the maraud- CTS will make 8 stand against Captain O'Brien's battalion, as he is thought to have 8 sufficient force to give them lively chase and possibly well merited castigation.

A SMALLPOX SCARE.

A Case Brought from the NOrth---Arrest
of the Train Conductor for Introducing
an Infectious Disease.
Great CONSERVATION was occasioned in the
vicinity of the Manitoba railroad department
yesterday morning, by the report that man
had been brought in on the 10 o'clock train
from the west, who wasprostrated with small
box. The report was fully confirmed and the
man was found lying in the freight house Of
the company almost deserted. He presented q
terrible appearance, all the repulsive symptoms
of the dire disease being fully developed. The
city physician was sent for, and meantime
rhe sufferer was visited by DR.. Murphy, who
administered temporary relief. Arrangements
were made to take him to the pest house,
where he was conveyed by Inspector Meyer
ding yesterday afternoon.
the negligence of the company in permitting
him to enter the city, but inquire developed
that no one in particular was to blame. The
name of the unfortunate man is II. Boob, and
he has been employed on one of the branch
lines of the st. Paul & Manitoba railroad. He
took sick few days since and started for his
home at Newborn, Fillmore county. Not
knowing the exact nature OF the malady he
took the train at FELTON, station at 8 O'Clock
NOnudy HiSut, aiIifIHS ucIo DO ucioio oIaIou'
He has q wife and six children in Fillmore
county.
Extra care was taken yesterday to have the
car in which he arrived and the freight house
thoroughly disinfected, SO that no danger may
be apprehended.
Since writing the above Health Officer Pat
terson swore out, warrant for the arrest of
E. w. Eastman, conductor of the train on
which the patient arrived. The warrant
was issued under the ordinance creating the
board of health, which provides that no per-
son with the small pox shall be brought to
the city.
Mr.. Eastman was arrested and released on
his own recognizanc until this morning. 1t
is not thought that he was in any wise to
blame, as the sick man was on hoard several
hours before he took charge of the train and
he had no intimation of the malady. The OBJ
ect Is to enforce the statute in order to pre-
vent the recurrence of the offense.

ARACT STREET SCENE.
The Green-Eyed Monster Leads to an
Angry Matinee in Public.


Angry Matinee in Public.
A spicy street scene occurred about dusk
last evening, which bid fair at one time to
wind up in some very lively music.
In the twilight richly attired brunette,
with lustrous eyes and a ripe flush in her
checks, founced out of a well-known refresh
ment resort at Bridge Square.
She was followed by young man with dark
moustache and curly hair and dressed in the
height of fashion, He seemed terribly aglta-
ted and, overtaking the lady some animated
conversation occurred She accused him of
nfidelity and he expostulated.
Finally he threatened to leave her, where
upon she left him and started up Wabashaw
street. Turning up Fourth street she enter
ed the lot in the rear of the American house
and in moment afterwards he was
seen to hurry mp the street
and vanish after her. By
this time a: crowd had collected and Off
GERS Casey and Baer came up, both officers
having observed the affair from the beginning.
Thinking that something tragic might occur,
they went into the yard and found the couple in
earnest conversation under wood shed.
Upon the appearance of the officers they
were badly frightened, and said that it was
only little trouble between man and wife.
With this they moved on.
Rumor had it that the lady is a married
woman residing in Minneapolis, and that the
man, who is said to travel for wholesale
house, is her paramour.
