will have forgotten that they ever projected
such thing as building an opera house. Al
all events "saph" is plucky, and with solid
fnaneial backing may possibly win.
Yesterday morning a lsborer employed by
Messrs. Weeks q Brown in digging the tun-
mel for the city water works, while crossing
the temporary bridge over the tail race, made
4 misstep and fell into the vortex below, and
was swept a distance of two hundred feet be-
| fore he was rescued by his co-laborers. He
was not seriously injured.
A meeting OF the committee from the city
council, on paving, will be held in the coun-
ell chamber on Monday afternoon at2 o'clock.
II is We wish of this committee that all prop
erty owners along the various streets, which
1t is contemplated 10 have paved, will appear
before them and state their preferences re-
speeting materials to be used.
The materials being used in paving uspen
sion bridge Is creating a general dissatlsfac.
lion of all citizens who have taken occasion to
examine it. The cedar blocks ere in fact in an
execrable state of decay. 1t would appear to
the GLOBE as though 1t was the duty of some
one to look after this matter, aud see that
nothing but The best material be used.
The board OF education has decided TO post
pone the introduction OF the proposed temper
ance text books, and also the musical studies,
into the public schools for time, 1t is not
thought wise or proper to institute measures
of innovation st the latter part of school
term. At the subsequent term, however, 1t is
highly probable that steps towards the adop.
ton of those measures will be taken.
Mary Nothaker, the lady who recently took
legal exceptions TO the condemnation of her
avenue of egress from her home for the pur.
poses of the Chicago. Milwaukee & S.. Paul
car shops, has again instituted proceedings.
This time she has served a writ Of Injunction
upon the city and the railroad company Joint
". The injunction recites that the plaintiff
can only reach her property-her home-by
means of either Minnehaha or Twenty first
avenues south, and that both have been va
Gated by the city. Supt. Prior is out of
patience with the lady and threatens that
unless this 'fooling" is stopped forthwith
the car shops will be erected at some point
other than Minneapolis. While it would
doubtless be very agreeable thing in busi-
ness point of view, TO have the car shops To-
Gated here, We don't believe in giving the
whole city to the company for the purpose of
securing them.
At the monthly business meeting of the
Zouaye corps held IN Turner hall on Wednes-
day evening the company was disbanoed
upon a unanimous vote. The reason for the
act was that the majority of the rank and file
of the company were laboring men, and heads
of families, By remaining part of the state
organization they would have been compelled
to devote considerable time 10 battalion drills,
and this they could i'll afford to do. Immedi.
ately after this measure had been accomplish
ed, the members OF the old company proceeded
to the organization of an entirely new COM
pany to be known as the Ames Zouaves, in
honor of Capt. Ames. The company will not
be under the surveillance of state authorities,
but will be an independent organization-and
a safeguard to the city. The following
officers were elected for the first year:
Captaiu--A. a. Ames.
First Lieutenant-Geo. R. Seaton.
Second Lieutenant-J. w. Long.
A new constitution will be adopted at the
next regular meeting on Wednesday evening.
