RIVER EXCURSION.
The Dean Adams for Helena
and Back.

Close upon the hour named in the
card elsewhere, the steamer Dean
Adams will take her departure to-
morrow morning for Helena, returning
to this city in good time tomorrow
night.
This excursion is under the auspices
OF the Macaronians, club of citizens
who on previous occasions have par
tlclpated in entertainments of various
kinds. Though they never before
ventured as far away as Helena, those
who know the Club are confident they
will be fully equal to the occasion, as
they have been indeed to every one in
which they have heretofore embarked.
The Dean Adams is a stauch, swift
and popular steamer, oficered by
careful boatmen, and the voyage pro.
posed will be interesting, novel and
reasonable, the round trip tickets
being only four dollars each.
Numerous citizens contemplating
the trip have arranged for their fam
liIes 10 accompany them. There will
be ample room on board, and every.
thing will be conducted with circum.
spection.
A voyage to Helena ard return to-
morrow will be an event which cannot
be participated in every day.

the State of Tennessee is beautifully

fight in the coming campaign will be
between the Democratic party reunited

however, whether the low tax Repub

FAVORABLE REPORT ON THE
MARKET ORDINANCE.
THE FULFILLING REYBoLD CASE
Continuation OF the Proceeding In the
United States Court and the Case
About to be Put Before the Jury.

At the opening Of the United States Cir
cult Court this morning Judge Bradford
rendered decision upon yesterdays argu-
ment, which virtually favored the plaintiff.
Another discussion followed, during which
His Honor exclaimed
eyes, the court will take any light upon
the subject It can get, for the Lord knows it
is In total darkness"
Messrs. Bates, Bradford, Gray and Bayard
spoke upon the same question, occupying
the time of the court yesterday, the subject
being both uninterestine and unintelligible
to the general public. To members OF the
bar, however, the matter is one of great
interest and embracing several fine legal
points.
The argument upon the part of counsel
for the defendant was briefly summed by
Mr.. Gray as follows "All we want is to
stand upon fair and equal footing with the
plaintiff"
The court room was filed with jurors,
lawyers, witnesses, interested parties, In
cluding Anthony Reybold, the plaintiff, and
Alexander Shriver, president of the New
York and Baltimore Transportation Com
pany.
A general Misunderstanding seemed TO
exist between the opposing counsel as TO
what agreements had been made between
them in the past as to the course to be PUT
sued, and general conflict of opinion was
apparent, Judge Bradford remarking that
he had done all he could to get out of the
| haze that surrounded the whole matter.
At IL o'clock business was temporarily
suspended and the room was filed with the
buzz Of conversation on all sides.
After some time was thus lost His Honor
| wished to know If there was to be any more
| argument upon the contested point, and dc
| clared emphatically that he wanted 1t
| ''settled at once and have no more wrang-
| ling over It,"
The list of witnesses was then called by
Clerk Smith, about 40 answering to their
names.
| Mr. Bird informed the the Court that
| there was one witness, Mr.. Kieffer. had
been subpenaed, but failed TO appear; an
attachment was asked. The case, he said
could not go on without him. The Court
| said the case could not be postponed, and
| must go on, the witness to be examined
| when found. Mr.. Bates asked " Suppose
we can't get him ~ To which the Cour
| replied &C. Then you will have x
90 on without him." Mr.. Bates then stated
| that the witness was vital one, that al
| though there might be some difficulty II
getting him he should be had. "lf dead al
right, if alive he was needed"
Finally it was decided to on with the cas-
without the witness, who, Marshall, MIR
Mullin said, was to put In an appearance
| when telegraphed for.
An attachment was obtained for William
IL. Blany, another absent witness.

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-There is scarcely .
doubt bur that the portion of the criminal
class termed Dangerous Is largely on the
increase In this city. Every day numbers OF
aggravated assaults with violence are com
mitted by men ranging in years from 1S to
%, who on the slightest provocation stand
ready TO use knife or revolver. The latest
instance became known TO the police this
morning. Francis Donnelly was entertaining
party of friends In the saloon at Washing
ton and Carlisle streets, when Michael, alias
"Limpey" Crowley and John Hamilton, ex-
convicts, entered. Without word Of warn
ing Crowley struck Mr.. Donnelly In the
face knocking him down and began
kicking him. The bar tender, Owen
Murphey, seized club and came TO the as
sistance of his employer. Crowley wrested
the club from him and beat him around the
head until he ian into the street. After
breaking all the mirrors and glassware In
the place and pulling down the chandelier.
Crowley drew knife and ran for Donnelly.
who sought refuge behind the bar. Crowley
attempted to go behind the bar, when Don
nelly seized large Bulldog revolver and
shot him twice In the right arm and left
leg.
Crowley escaped and is now being
searched for by Captain Bergholdt and De-
tective Mulvy. He is member of the
stable gang and was released from the peni-
tentiary a week ago.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Captain Williams
has verified the story that Oscar Wilde was
1eeced by bunco men. He says that two
weeks ago Wilde was accosted while walk
ing up Broadway, near Union Square, by
hatchet-faccd young man, who introduced
himself as the son of Drexel, the banker.
AS he had seen the poet in his fathers office
he " took the liberty" etc. Mr. Wilde was
delighted. He had been in the Drexel
banking office, but he did not remember
the Young man. The two went to
restaurant where Mr.. Drexel ate us though
hungry. Mr.. Wilde remembered this with
a grim smile later in the day, when he was
informed by Captain Williams that "Mr.
Drexel" was "Hungry Joe," noted baneo
steerer. During the repast Drexel men
toned that he had won lottery prize and
sugges Ted that the poet accompany him to
get the money, and Oscar went to house
on Fifteenth or Seventeenth street with
him. Several men were throwing dice.
Drexel threw for the poet and won quite q
sum. Oscar was then persuaded TO join
in, and of course began to lose. First IT
was $50, then Sl00, until becoming excited
over the game, he played until he lost
81 ,060. He slowly signed check on the
Madison Square Bank for the amount.
Realizing at last that he had been swindled,
he shook off Drexel, who insisted on accom-
panying him, and, rushing to the street,
hailed cab and was driven rapidly to the
bank. He got there in time to stop the pay
ment of the check. It was not presented
but was returned by mail to Captain VII
liams. Oscar afterward recognized Drexel's
picture in the rogue's gallery.
