The how with the skates and smile all over
his face doth now appear.
Jack Frost has been on deck for the past
forty-eight hours, and, as consequence the
condition of the streets has been greatly I'M
proved.
TIL. ,uryiying members of the old volun.
teer fire department OF st. Paul Will attend
the funeral of Mrs. Bartlett Presley, to-mor'
row. in body, as tribute OF respect to one
1 whn was in the DAYS of the organization, ever
thoughtful of and devoted to its welfare.
The alarm of fire at $50 o'clock last even
ing was caused by burning chimney on
saltwater street, which, at the time the
alarm was turned in, looked very threatening.
Engines No. l aud responded, but the
danger had been averted before they reached
the premises.
The case of Dr. S. S. Walbank against the
st. Paul g. Duluth railroad company, in which
$4,000 is claimed for injuries received in an
accident on the road, was given to the jury
last evening. The hearing of evidence, argu.
ments of counsel, etc, had occupied the court
nearly four days.
Yesterday was cold day, and drunken
man, needing more clothing, while passing
Warmers auction store, lifted a Macinac
Jacket and made off with it. Officer Thomas
spied the transaction, however, and took the
drunken thief in charge and deposited him In
the jug, and he will answer to Judge Burr this
morning.
The sale of tickets, at fifty cents apiece, on
a beautiful Garland coal stove, (given to
the Orphans fair by liberal firm, was made
the especial work of the Father Mathew To-
tai Abstinence society at its meeting last Snn-
day afternoon. The members present took
hold of the tickets IN a way that warrants the
prediction that when the total Is told. the
Father Mathew society will come in for a
share of the credit. The fair Will commence
in Market hall Tuesday, the 22d.
To-day the advance in day rates at the St..
Paul and Minneapolis hotels 60 into effect.
They are as follows: Merchants and Metro
politan hotels, st. Paul, and the Nicollet
house, Minneapolis, So and $3.50 per day.
st. Paul, 81. so per day, and the International
hotel, st. Paul, 50 per day. 1t is mutually
understood that the fixing of all minor rates
of charges shall be left to the discretion OF
the proprietors to arrange.
A total of sixteen culprits answered to
Judge Burr's roll call yesterday morning. Of
the number there were four plain DRINKS who
went to Jail five days in default of the payment
of V; one who paid $40 for persisting in
making night hideous by his yells when full
of the ardent; two who turned to pounding
each other when drunk, one of whom paid
$40 and the other took ten days in Jail; one
who resisted an officer, for which he paid $40;
another, that of Pat. Egan, mentioned else
where; still another, poor Mrs. Davis, VINO
was drunk and abusive, who went to the Wo-
mans home for thirty days, and three others
for minor offenses. Take them all in all, how
ever, they were. hard looking lot.
The somewhat notorious Sally Walker,
(colored), was somewhat numerous around
police headquarters yesterday. Sally is an
honest woman, or claims she is, but notwith-
standing this Sunday night, saffron colored
individual named George Willard, came to her
domicile and wanted to take the place OF her
absent husband. OF course, being honest,
Sally demurred, whereupon Willard struck out
with his right mauler and erected mansard
roof and bay window over Sally's right eye,
six stitches being required to close up the lat
ter. AS late as o'clock the police had not
succeeded in arresting Willard, but as Sally is
determined to yindicate her outraged honor,
it is safe to say he will be brought into camp.
One of the culprits before his honor, Judge
Burr, yesterday, was Pat Egan, upon the par
ticularly cowardly and brutal charge of beat
ing his wife. The offense in the amount of
damage done was not particularly heinous,
and Judge Burr let Egan off with fine OF $40,
but required him to furnish bonds in $3.50 to
keep the peace, and not being able, to stand
committed for 100 days. Egan was neither
able to pay the fine or furnish the bond. and
so Officer Shields, one of the veterans OF the
force, was instructed to conduct Egan to the
hotel de Richter. All went well until about
half the distance had been traversed, when
Egan by quick jump broke away from
Shields and lit out for liberty. Shields gave
chase, but it was no use; long service and
rheumatic stiffness handicapped him too
heavily, and Egan made good his escape. But
we venture to say that Egan has left st: Paul
for good, or Shields will eventually land him
in the bastile. It's not Shields style to leave
duty half performed.
