| time an officer took a hand, aud th'
thing looked attractive for awhile
When the frolic was over, strange e
say, no damage was done. No arrests
No doubt this will be reported AZ
.'another Southern outrage.
James B. Doyle, who has been un
der the bans of the United States au'
thorities as having been found in the
possession Of 200 $1,000 spurious
United States bonds, and tried and
found guilty on a charge of circulat
ling the same and sentenced to ten
years in, prison, is out on 1000
bonds, Judge Drummond having
granted a supercedeas on writ Of
error. It is more than likely Mr.
DOYLE is innocent as charged.
Reformed This is the legend
that attaches to the name of Mrs,
Brooks, lately the keeper Of house
of ill-iame in Chicago. She has
turned her bagnio into a house oil
prayer. This freak is the sensation Of
the hour.
Another sensation. Thomas Luce
is young blacksmith, aud lives near
Chicago. He is late benedict. Now
he is angry aud outraged. Why ?
Because his precious has skipped out
with his cousin.
Chicagoans attach great national
Importance to the coming Atlanta,
Georgia, Exposition, and refer to
that city as the Chicago Of the South.
Maud s., Vanderbilt's celebrated
mare, in the presence of her owner
last Saturday, in Chicago, endeavored
to reduce her best time Of 2.l0l, but
failed, her best heat being I'll. l
consider she did nobly, because the
track was heavy" caused by the re-
cent rains. Mr.. v. was disappointed.
His watch marked 2.108 when she
passed under the wire. But he ac-
quiesced in the judges time. Over
$4,000 people were present on the
track.
The aloon-keepers' organization of
Chicago aud Cook county numbers BIG
members. A State organization is ad
vocated.
Thirty three bridges now span Chi
cago river in its meanllerings through
the city. They costabout one million
dollars. Still they do not number
enough to make travel convenient, and
others will have to be built.
General H. w. Slocum, Of Brook
Ign, N. Y. was in Chicago the other
day, looking as hearty and hale as
when | first saw him in Vicksburg,
sixteen years ago, when was sent to-
him in chains from the Old Capital
prison, Washington. | was then a.
political prisoner. charged with being
somebody else. Itappears that Gen
eral Slocum was so impressed with the
tyranny of the chain" business, that
he had them stricken from my limbs,
and allowed me many rightful priv
leges before denied.
President Garfeld's present critical
agitates Chicago as no other
direful calamity could, and every lip
breathes prayers for his recovery.
Ex-senator Conkling's late backset
makes thousands of Republicans
smile in Chicago, and these were fight
ing Union soldiers during the late
war, who are now opposed to any man
who fsvors making a target of the
South any longer.
The late rise in Chieago's wheat
market knocked the props from under
several broking firms who were
short" f. j. Kenneth & Go. and 7.
NJ. Baxter & Co. being among the un-
Liabilities heavy.
The cable movement" will soon
operate the cars on State street, Chi
cago. This wire cable is laid in a
tube under the bed of the road, and |
by means Of stationary engines is kept |
constantly in rapid motion. A hange
arrangement is fixed to the bottom of |
the car and connects with the cable
through the slit that runs along the |
tube. By means Of lever this fange |
is made to grasp the cable, and vice !
versa. When motion is desired the |
lever is worked backward, the. grasp" |
is fixed and the moving cable whirls
the car along. When halt rs re-
quired the lever is thrown forward, |
and the grasp" being loosened the
car Immediately stops, while the cable |
keeps on its ceaseless travel. This
works the horse out of job.
The day is not very far distant when |
Chicago will rank high as what is |
called a summer resort" Her at
fractions in this respect are countless
