and IrVinG'S Addition.
CITY CLERKS OFFICE,
ST. PAUL, MIMI, October 10, 1882.

WHEREAS, a petition has Ebeen filed in this
Office, as provided by law, by order of the Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul, asking for
tle vacation OF the strip of land forming
the entrance to Maiden Lane, in block II, of
Dayton Il Irvine's addition to st. Panl, and
described as follows: Commencing at point
on the northerly lire of Lot 26, IN Block II, of
Dayton & Irvine's addition to st. Paul, twenty
four feet westerly from the northeasterly corner
of said lot; thence running southwesterly along
the soatherly line of Maiden Lane 1871 feet to
the northeasterly corner of Lot Is, in said block;
thence running northerly at right angles to Selby
avenue, to the southerly line of said avenue;
thence running easterly to the place
of beginning. The petitioners state that
they are the owners of a ma
jority of all the property owned on the line of
said Maiden Lane and on the line OF property
asked to be vacated, and the facts ard reasons
for such vacation are as follows: That said

avenue at an obtuse angle, making it, if SO used,
inc0nvenient of access and difficult to drive

forming the entrance to said lane has never been
used as a driveway, but entrance to Selby ave
nue. has been made through piece of ground
lying Immediately west of the entrance to said
lane, which land the owner thereof proposes to
deed to the city ''as public highway and as an
entrance of said Maiden Lane to Selby avenue
should the vacation asked for be made.
Now, therefore, notice is herby given, that
said petition will be heard and considered by the
Common Council of the City of ST. Paul, on
Tuesday, the 21st day of November. A. D, 1882,
at 80 O'Clock p. M, at the Council Chamber,

Gladstone, on which Westgate, the self
accused assassin of Lord Frederick Caven-
dish and Under Secretary Burke, sailed for
the West Indies. The authorities have
determined to thoroughly sift Westgate's
story to quiet the public mind. Westgage
will probably be brought home for the
same purpose, but the police firmly ad-
here to the belief that Westgage is crazy,
and his assertions unworthy of belief.
Lively scenes are anticipated at the
national conference, owing to the belief of
popular leaders that there is more to
be made known relative to the Kilmainham
