The Thanksgiving supper ut the
Universalist church last Friday even
ing was one of the pleasantest sOciaI
events in the history of the church
The ladies provided a most bOuntifuI
and excellent supper, which was very
literally partaken of. One object OF
this gathering was to raise funds to pay
the church debt, which is about $1,000
toward which : $50 was subscribed
in sums varying from one dollar to
three hundred. If the members OF
the society who were not present will
subscribe as literally as those that
were present, the society will soon he
free from debt.

void has been in rather poor health
for two or three years, but was so as
to attend to his business all the time.

much improved. The suddenness OF
his death leads his friends to suspect

Arrest Of the woman AssauIier.

As was mentioned last week, George
Ellis was arrested at Fletcher as the
man suspected of running amuck of
our streets one evening the week pre-
vious. He had hearing on Thursday,
plead guilty, and was fined $50 and
costs. 1t is matter of congratulation
that this disturber of the peace was so
quickly arrested and brought to JUS
tice and in this connection it is well
to credit Policeman Sargent with some
vigorous, persistent and effective work.
One of the ladies assaulted went di-
rcctlv to him and he at once made all
possible effort to discover the per
petrator. But there was no clew tC
work upon only that the man wore 4
soft hat and had his boots outside his
pants As the result proved the man
was stranger here, coming ill on the
train that day and leaving town the
next morning. The chance of evel
discovering him and bringing him tt
punishment was very slight indeed
but Mr.. Sargent spotted him and ther
turned the case over to the state au-
thorities. The prompt punishment Oi
| thi, offender will have a tendency tC
make men on the street more civil, an'
it also shows that officers can overhaul
Il rascal when they set out in earnest

THE MICHIGAN sENAToRSHIP.
Try TELEGRAPH 20 THE TRIBUSE.I


WASHINGTON. Jan. 5-with perhaps single ex-
ception the Michigan Representatives regard 'no
action of the Republican members OF the Mich'san
Legislature last night as Il strong ruca'ion
of long and stormy struggle over
the Senatorship and the prooaoie oe-
feat of Senator Ferry Mt last ihese
Representatives think that the 46 votes winch MI
Ferry received in the caucus of last night, wmch
only fifty-six of the eighty-one Republican men,
hers couId be induced to attend, are more than he
can depend upon after the first ballot IN the Legs
lature Estimates of his actual staying strength
vary from "a to 80 votes-41 being majority Oh
the total Republican vote.
Messrs. HOar Willis and Others think that 'ne
action OF Ferry and his friends in forcing caucus
20 early was extremely iniudcious, because IL VIII
be regarded by many members OF the Legislature
WHO might otherwise be induced to support MI
Ferry as another exhibition of bossism, something
which the Michigan Republicans are in no hulnor
to tolerate Mr.. Horr said this afternoon " IL
Ferry had been contented to wait week OF
ten days and had expressed desire rather than
otherwise for delav long enough to allow fuli con-
ference and discussion he would have gained oy ~
IN my opinion. Ii looks now AS though he mas nlaue
q serious, if not fatal, bunder." -
Mr. Horr has Just returned from visit TO his
home in Michigan and be says that tho
feeling toward Mr.. Ferry is much less favor
able than 1t was SIX weeks. ago. ne
says that this change of sentiment is general SO IaI
as he had an opportunity TO observe.
Information has been received here that the DEM
Ocratic and Greenback members of the Michigan
Legislature held caucus this forenoon ana asreeu
to act together on all questions OF party policy
