That portion of the communication

ing the ensuing year; and also that the

Another Chicago Fire.
London Paper.]

CHICAGO, Feb AT 11:45 tonight an
alarm was turned in for fire at 81 Lake street,
and a few minutes later second alarm called
out all the engines in the district The build
ing is substantial five story brick, running
from Lake street through to Randolph, with
dividing wall, which, SO far, has
withstood the effect of the intense heat.
On the other side of this wall is Sprague
Warren & Co., wholesale grocers. The firms
which occupy the burning building are Whit
ney, johnson & Co., paints, oils and var
nishes, and c. D. Reynolds & Co., glassware
and crockery. The fire broke out in the third
story and ran rapidly from front to rear of the
building, and before the department could get
through the iron doors and play on the
flames, it had broken into the floors above
and below. In half an hour the roof was
ablaze, and the firemen or top of the roof
were obliged to seek places somewhat re-
moved from the building itself. The COM
bustible nature of the stock rendered it i'm
possible to make Roadway against the blaze,
and the firemen's efforts were confined to at
tempts at preventing its spread. Each floor
was flooded, and the damage by water will be
heavy.
At 1:30 a. m. the fire was we'll under control,
and had not spread beyond the single building
where it originated. The building was owned
by Mccormick. The loss will robablv not
exceed $4,000, and there is an insurance of
$4,000, distributed among about fif-
teen companies. It's dimensions are about 200
By so feet, and the fire did not get below the
third floor.
Whitney g. Johnson's stock was valued at
900, and was insured to pretty nearly the
full amount. The stock of G. d. Reynolds
was worth SIPS, 900, and insured for Sl25 900.
Reynolds stock is probably two-thirds de-
stroyed, and Whitney & Johnson's half or
more

A VAIL of anguish goes up from the

attack of collie is owing to the ascendency
of "Sabin, Fletcher & Co., in the poll

In fact we might say they haze happened.
If there could be anything worse OF
more corrupt than the "Ramsey, Vince
lock & Driscoll combination, it would
be difficult to conceive it. The change
is for the better In any event. If the
State could survive the rascalities of the
old gang they needihave no fears of the

men who rely upon business for occupa-
ton rather than politics. The gang who
surrounded Ramsey were office beggars
and thieves, and the death of that dynasty

A Complaint from .AcOca.

A Complaint from ArOca.
To the Editor of the Globe.
At meeting of the business men of Avoca,
held at the Lincoln hotel, February l, 1882,
Col. T. O'Leary in the chair, it was resolved.
WHEREAS, As business men, we regret to
see the trade, which is tributary to the Black
Hills branch of the c., st. P, M. s. o. R. R.,
pass directly through the stations of Avoca,
Hawley and Woodstock, to the Southern Min
nesota branch of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, until the trade, for ten miles north
of the Black Hills branch, goes almost entire
ly to the Southern Minnesota, to the detriment
of the business men who were induced to To-
cate along the line of the Black Hills branch.
We see that coal is sold at Fulda at SIS per ton,
while at Avoca 1t is $500. Farmers making
SLIGO on S. for an extra haul of six miles.
The prices of grain and fax seed have been
better along the line of the Southern Min
nesota,
Resolued, That the attention of the officers
of the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad, are requested, that they may
remedy this state of affairs and prevent the
business interests of the company and the
business men along their line suffering.
Resolued, That we protest against the with
drawal of the daily train ON the Black Hills
branch at the time when the business would
increase, and urge that if attention was paid
to the legitimate traffic there would be more
than sufficient business to pay>the daily train.

AMUSEM ENTS.
The Presentation of Boooaccio.

A large and fashinable audience filed the en-
tire seating capacity Of the Opera house last
night to witness the presentation OF Won
suppe's opera of "Boccaccio," as interpreted
by Mains Comic Opera company. The argu.
mentof the opera is simple enough at first bush
but as the plot progresses the movement be-
comes involved in bewildering array OF
sound1 nd incident. The scene is laid in Flor
ence, to which city "Pietro," the Prince Of
Palermo, goes to marry ssFiametta," the
daughter of the "Duke of Tuscany" the
latter having been adopted when child, by
LambertucciO," grocer who was not
aware of her patrician origin. The Duke
causes her to be reared in this humble man
ner for reasons of his own, his intention be-
ing to bring about match with "Pietro, " to
whom she has been in infancy betrothed.
Upon his arrival in the gay capital, Pietro
Joins in the revels of the students, his love of
adventure developing a number of interesting
situations. "Boccaccio" is in love with EFF
ametta," and Is hated by the students for hav-
ing shown up their follies. "Pietro" is mis-
taken for the poet. After variety of incidents
a play is arranged by "Bocaccio," who is
aware that his passion is reciprocated, in
which the follies of "Pietro" are ridiculed and
made to appear so contemplate that the lat
ter SurrenOerS "tlameLGd. luc llDTtttO Is
full of intrigue and escapades, which strongly
suggests the broad satire contained in the ex.
travagant writings OF Boccaccio's "Decama-
vOn."
To the romantic themes of the ibrettist
Won Suppe has welded some very effective
| music, the numbers being in the ford style
and coloring of this popular composer.
The action of the plot Is rapid and dramatic
and the vocal opportunities arc fine. The act
ing last night was finished, and left but little
to be desired. Vocally the cast might have
been strengthened. In the title role Miss Bar
| ~ did some fine acting, and in this respect hel
impersopation was enjoyable. Vocally sh'
was not up to the full requirements of the
part. The "Pietro" of Mr.. Cooper was good
and Miss Perry made an acceptable "Fiamet
ia" The impersonation of the ''Cooper" b.
Ellis Ryse was one of the best features of thu
performance, while Mr.. Buckingham made al
amusing character of the "Grocer." The cho
rus was excellent, and more than redeemed
any deficiencies. The orchestration was good
but it would have been more effective by thu
addition of more instruments. Altogether i
was a very enjoyable performance.
This evening will be presented suppe's 70

A $40, 900 Corruption Fund In Minneapo

Minneapolis is all store up" over the ques-
ton of the location of the postoffice. "To be
or not to be" is the soliloquy with which they
wash down their bumpers of beer. "W. S.K.,"

brew, means Bill King, SHES his castor into
the ring in yesterdays Tribune, and styles the
chaps who desire to rescne DR..
Keith from his present rat hole as set of spec
ulating real estate rascals. He demonstrates
the correctness of this assertion (or aims to
do SOY by declaring that a secret meeting of
the parties interested was held and "confiden-
tial agent" was forwarded to Washington,
fortified with nine or ten thousand dollars to
''flx things" According to Mr.. King, who
is good authority on such matters, this cor
ruption fund did ''fix things" so far as Hatton,
the acting assistant postmaster general was
concerned. The confidential agent"
reported that everything was all right,
and though a commissioner was sent out
to investigate, that was only done as blind,
his report having been agreed upon before he
left Washington. After solemnly interview
ing one-half of Minneapolis, he reported that
the public interests imperatively demanded
the location OF the postofice at the place indi-
Gated by the ten thousand dollar fellows.
The other chaps, however, have managed to
appeal to a higher court than Hatton, and Tim
Howe, the P. NJ. General has been called
in as umpire. If he will only appoint
another commissioner to come on, the bows
will go down into their wallets and 'bob I'D

as showing the average Minneap-

He bribed, with cash, a large num-
Der of his fellow citizens to vote
for him and it is no wonder
that his friends and neighbors should have
arrived at the conclusion that this was the way
to do things. The sending of confidential

fund, was the most natural thing in the world
for Minneapolis to do. Their member of con-
gress having secured his original election by
corruption fund, corruption fund having also
been raised to aid Charley johnson IN tamper-

Officers, and Thon Adjourn.
The attendance upon the Minnesota
State Dairymen's Association, which was
commenced at the Metropolitan Hotel
yesterday morning, was very SHINY at
tended indeed, not more than eight OF
ten members being present. A few more
came in during the forenoon, but after
all were in the attendance was quite
slim, especially when the large interests
involved are considered. The few assem-
bled were called to order by the president,
Mr.. William Fowler, and business was
proceeded with.
PRINTING THE REPORTS.
Prof. Porter, of the State University
on being called upon explained his idea
IN regard to the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the State Agricultural soci-
ETY., the Dairymen's society and the Am
Der Cane ASSOCIATION. He urged that all
three organizations embody their reports
in one volume, and gave good many
reasons in favor Of the proposition, which
appeared to be received with favor, as on
motion of Mr.. bearing, the suggestion
was accepted, and commit
tee consisting Of Mr.. Deering, John E.
Putnam. and Mr. LIE Wis Conte was ap-
part Of the dairymen.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
Mr.. John e. Putnam, the treasurer, did
not arrive until late, and when he made
his report it was learned that the assocla-
ton had $165.4S on the right side of the
balance sheet in the treasury.
THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
In his remarks Prof. Porter declared
that the state agricultural society was a
very defective organization. Most
any one, he said, could be-
come a member, no one knew just what
the duties of any one particular person or
department had to attend to. The
Dairymen's Association and the Amber
Cane society were growing into favor
and unless there was an improvement in
the State Agricultural society these two
organizations that we're created merely
as appendages to the Agricultural
society would wag the dogs tail
whether he wanted it to be wagged
by them or not. There was no
discussion in regard to the Agrl-
cultural society, for the reason that no
one disputed what Mr.. Porter said, and as
it was nearly l o'clock the association adj
journed till p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
On re-assembling in the afternoon the
society proceeded to the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year, which resulted
as follows: President, William Fowler;

by unlocking his cell in some manner and then
making hole in the cornice, through which
he escaped. How he reached the cornice, or
made his decent after gaining the outside, is
not known to the prison officials, but 1t is
