terday's hard rain not a collection OF mud

RUNoRs were afOat yesterday to the effect
that J. b. Hughes was dying from the et.
fects of the terrible beating administered

Mr.. AND Mrs. Hull, of the South Side,
who have just returned from an extended
visit in Philadelphia, were surprised by a
large party OF friends Saturday night.
They were found equal to the occasion by
throwing open the house and inviting the
guests in, who had brought music along for
a pleasant party. The evening was spent
in dancing. Refreshments were served
about II o'clock, and the party broke up
at a very reasonable hour.

enter the drug store on the South Side
known rs the Dwight drug store. The

deCamped in 4 hurry. Officer Williams

shoes which without a doubt belonged to

over his extremities. Dr. Reeves was i'm
mediately called in and dressed the wounds.
The limbs from the knees down are in a
very bad condition, the skin having literal

think that he will be able to be out for a
long time, as the muscles of the limbs have
contracted from the severe burn.
THAT fellow NcGill, who has so often
enjoyed the hospitality of Wheeling, Bel
laire and other cities, eating prison hash
and occupying prison cells, turns up again
at Columbus, Ohio, as We learn from a
communication Of his to the OhiO State Jour
nal. His claim to be a priest in good stand
ing is false, being in fact no priest in good
standing at all. He claims in the cOmmu-
niCation an intimate acquaintance with the
Honorable Bishop Rosecranz." OF course,
the Bishop being dead, he cannot deny it,
but if ever that was the case, it was
q great many years ago, notably before
McGilpS sCandalous conduct in Logan and
Lancaster over ten years ago. We advise
him to take to the lecture platform aud
talk on something he knows all about. We
suggest title for him: What 1 know
about tie jsils and penitentiaries in the
United States and Canada" His last SEN
tenCe in the police court here was suspend

Used to leave the city.
