ago to attend the policemen's ball in COM
pany with a South Washington avenue
saloon keeper named Charles johnson,
since when nothing has been heard from
her by her friends. Mr.. Carleton further
says that the girls effects and small
amount of money are in his possession.
DR.. Cockburn, the city physician, ex-
presses his confidence that the smallpox
epidemic, or rather what at one time
threatened to be an epidemic, has been
successfully checked. He apprehends no
further trouble. The school children will
doubtless soon be admitted to the public
schools from the designated smallpox
district.
The train on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, river division, known
as the "Flying Dutchman," has been tenn
porarily discontinued. During the re-
mainder of the winter it will be run, how
ever, as local train, instead of doing
through business. In the meantime the
passengers for st. Louis will be taken via
Chicago.
Andrew Peterson had two ribs broken
and Patrick Timms' left arm was fractured,
while John Irving had his face badly
beaten and lacerated by flying missiles,
the result of premature discharge of a
blast in an East side stone quarry yester-
day forenoon. The three injured men
were removed to their respective homes,
where they received surgical treatment.
A nolle pros has been entered in the
district court in the case of the state
against DR.. Eli Small, indicted in 1881
for manslaughter in the fourth degree. It
was a malpractice case in which a lady
died, near Medicine lake. The nolle pros
motion was made on account of the death
of DR.. Hamilton, the principal witness,
without whom the county attorney was
confident he had no case.
Mayor Ames' recommendation, submit
ted to the city council, that
building inspector be appointed
and that an ordinance be passed regulat-
ing the construction of buildings in the
city, meets alike with the hearty approval
of the citizens of Minneapolis and of the
insurance men. The matter will doubtless
be now pushed to a successful issue by
our city legislators.

Complaints of cruelty to their horses by
the 1nhuman street car drivers have be-
come numerous. Recently one of the Off
Cruelty to Animals called upon Superin-
tendent Atwood of the system, to have the
matter regulated. In accordance Mr.. At
wood has issued strict orders to the drivers
not to admit more passengers into
any car than can be seated
in the future. The great trouble,
however, seems to be in the inadequacy of
the present facilities of the street railway
system. It falls far short of accommoda-
ting the public. The order issued by the
superintendent to exclude passengers after
the seats have been filled will again Grip
pie the facilities and people will be obliged
to walk. What they should do is to put
two horses upon each car and strive to run
them on time. This will give much
better satisfaction. The company re-
joices in the possession of a monopoly
franchise, like unto Rand's gas monopoly,
and appear to be entirely too disregardful
of the comforts and convenience of the
public. If this company cannot be
brought to time by any other means it is
to be hoped an ordinance like the Smith
gas ordinance will be passed giving some
other company authority and privilege of
contesting the street railway exclusive
franchise in the courts.
