jackson Street Widening and Other I'M
prov4ments Considered.
A regular meeting of the board of public
works was held yesterday afternoon, President
harrington in the chair.
The assessment for grading Selby avenue,
from Western avenue to Dale street, was con-
firmed. The clerk was directed to give the
first notices for the reassessment for grading

the opening of an alley in block No. 4, Bazille
& Guerin's addition, was referred back with
adverse report. The matter of grading Cherry
street was referred to the engineer for plans
and estimates of cost. A petition from Warne
Bros s. Stockton asking for renewal of their
sewer license was granted. In the matter OF
widening Jackson street from Third to Fourth
streets, the clerk was directed to give the first
assessment notices.
In connection with this, the city attorney
stated that he had interviewed Judge Hall the
owner of the property on the west side of the
street, who stated that he would be willing to
waive all claims for damages for land taken,
providing the wooden buildings were allowed
to stand two years, and the brick buildings to
stand three years from July 1, 1882. The
board concluded to proceed with the improve
ment on the above understanding.
The assessment for a change of grade on
Pennsylvania avenue was referred to the clerk
for abstract of land, and the engineer was in
structed to furnish an estimate of costs.
The clerk was directed to furnish abstracts
for assessments for change of grade on Broad
way, Valley, Wacouta, Robert and Rosabel

Barney Smiths Bluff.

In answer to the bluff card of Barney Smith
in the GLOBE of yesterday, wish to say that
the wrestling for the champion belt of st.
Paul, to which he alludes, was fairly contested.
and no put up job as he intimates. As to Mr..
Barney Smiths challenge, have only to say
that I have made no pretentions to being q
professional wrestler, and as he bills himself
the champion heavy weight of Bismarck
and claims to be professional collar-and-el-
bow wrestler, he certainly cannot expect me,
as an amateur, to accept his challenge. AT
least, if he had been honest in his challenge,
he would have given me more then twenty
four hours in which to prepare for such a
match. The challenge is too fishy and evil
IDENTIFY only made as an advertisement for the
match at the Athenaeum last evening.

4 Dia 0i0nd Rob6ery.

W. c. Leber, jeweler, located on the corner
of Nicollet avenue and Second street, was vic
timized by slick thief. The fellow came in
the store ostensibly for friendly chat, and
accomplished his end without having to resort
to any trick and without any particular effort
MIR. Leber removed his necktie, upon which
was fine diamond pin, and laid it down for a
moment, while he attended to some nominal
duty connected with his business, during
which he inadvertently turned his back upon
his necktie containing the pin. The man, in
the meantime, he bethought himself that he
had urgent business elsewhere, and hurriedly
hied himself hither, saying, Business before
pleasure"
MIR. Leber having an opportunity to again
don the neektie, carelessly took it up and be-
gan arranging it before mirror. 1t was then
that be missed the sparkling of his diamond
pin-the object of his pride and admiration.
1t is easy for anyone who has lost an object
which was doubly priced for
its associations and its intrinsic
value, to imagine Mr.. Leber's feel
ings. He stated to the GLOBE reporter that
the thief was well known to him, and that
unless the pin should be returned to him, pro-
ceedings would at once be taken to place the
slick scoundrel in limbo.

Patti Angry at Her Treatment in Cincin-
mai.

CINCINNATI, Dec, S0.-The Opera selections
made by Patti are from II Trovatore and Aida,
both of which she regards as among her best
roles It is evident she has been put on her
mettle by the events of Messiah night, and that
she has made selection with view of creating
furore when she returns. Society here is
agitated somewhat by the charge made by
Patti in an interview in a morning paper, that
she was insulfed by being compelled to go on
the stage, instead of being led by President
Pendelton, of the festival association, or by
the mayor of the city. Also that Cary occu-
pied the seat of honor, which should
have been accorded to the soprano.
Tue reason given for failing to
show the special attentions to Patti is that all
the musical performances under the auspices
of the festival association nothing but the
programme is considered, and nothing per-
United to interfere with the proprieties of the
art picture contained In it. Hence it has been
the custom to prohibit all speeches and an
nouncements on the stage, to discourage en-
cores, and ia general TO avoid the methods
that prevail at concerts and operas. This de-
tense is not accepted by Patti and her friends,
and the question whether she was properly
treated remains unsettled.

whether the disease was small pox or not.
