THE MIDWAY SALES.

A good deal of interest is being manifested
in the forthcoming sale of choice bred trot-
ting stock at Midway, on the 18th of June
next. As has been announced in the GLOBE,
Commodore Kittson, Geo. W. Sherwood and
C. A. DeGraff are to hold joint sale of trot-
ting stock at Midway. On that occasion Mr.
P. C. Kid, Of Kentucky, will
act as auctioneer. The offer
ings will consist of Hambletonean,
Mambrino Chief and American Star blood.
The three gentleman who will offer this stock
are well known breeders, who have been in
the business for several years, and who have
brought to this city representatives OF the
best trotting families known to the world.
The stock will not be the refuse Of their
stables, but the very best they have, and it
will be sold without reserve, and there will be
no by bidders to force the prices up. The
owners of this stock know they present to
the public lot of FLIES and colts that are as
well bred as any in the United States. They
propose to have the sale conducted on square
principles, and desire to give the people of
Minnesota an opportunity to secure good
animals at reasonable prices. This 18th day
of June will be red letter day for Minnesota.

The Scacengers and the Health Department.
ST. PAUL, March 16, 1884.

The Scacengers aud the Health Department.
ST. PAUL, March 16, 1884
To the Editor of the Globe: 5s
In regard to the special meeting of the
Board of Health, which was called Saturday,
at which we presented our applications for
license to do scavenger business, which met
with such disastrous effects, we wish to clear
ourselves of some of the. unjust charges
made against US.
All of the scavengers who were previous to
the Oderless company had made application
to the health officer for license, and he told
them to keep on to work as they were and he
would tell them when they could have it, and
when the Oderless company came in said we
could not have any license. -
If the health officer knew that these scav-
engers were in league with, the health in
spector why did he permit them to keep on
robbing the people, as he claims they did.
All OF the charges made by DR.. Hoyt are
without foundation, as true Investigation
will show.
This company was formed in good faith
and according to the ordinance, and we are
prepared to do the work with just as good APP
planes as the company now working, and
with better satisfaction to the public. There
is surplus of work and people in all parts Of
the city are waiting to have theirs done.
Some OF them have had towait two weeks
and more when their closets had become a
nuisance. The following list of names will
show how the new Oderless company does
business: John Heber, oyercharged on one
closet $4,000, and his money refunded; W.
Il. Gag $3.50, money refunded; Mary E.
Robinson $1,000, not collected; T. McNIil-
len $500, collected but not refunded. In all
OF these cases the permits have been signed
by the health officer and not blythe health in
spector. If there is any corruption we hope
it will be placed where it really belongs, at
the head of the department. 49,

Death of Susan Bean.

Commodore Kittson lost at Erdenheim on
the 18th of March, 1884, at 4:30 p. m, Susan
Bean, one of the best mares that he has in
his stables She was by Lexington, dam
Sally Lewis by Glencoe Gmp). She was ap-
parently in perfect health, and gave no indi-
cation of being ill until very few moments
before she died. At the time
she died she was with foal
to Alarm, and due to foal March II. post
mortem developed the fact that she died
from rupturcd artery-bled to death in
wardly. She had a large and healthy chest
nut FLY in her, and it showed itself quick in
the womb in the presence Of several persons
within an hour of the death of its dam. She
was regarded by many as a better mare even
than Maggie B. B., the dam of Iroquois.

Washington Society Compared With
Other Points.

The st. Louis Spectator has lively Wash
ington correspondent who apparently dotes
on Washington society, while kindly conced-
ing that Chicago and st. Paul do not have
any society to speak of. Here is the way he
Cor she) disclaims:
There is chraming freedom, liberality,
ease and cordially about Washington So
ciety that quite capahvates every newcomer,
whether he be from north'6r south, east or
west! You see form of society here that is
not known anywhere else in American, and
everybody seems to like it. In the older
cities of the south as Richmond, Charleston,
Louisville and Now Orleans, the best society
is so exclusive that very many excellent peo-
pie never get into it at all, though they may
live and die there. The same is true of st.
Louis and Cincinnati. In Chicago and st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and the other new
cities of the great northwest they do not have
any society to speak of. In New York money
is the passport, and in Boston it is brains,
real or effected. Here in Washington per-
sonal merits comes nearer being a
general passport than anything else. The
society here is Cosmopolitan in every
sense of the word 1t is largely city of so
journers, and they all come together on a
common footing. AT reception given by
the ladies of tho Ebbitt house last Monday, a
dozen ladies and gentlemen who sat in one
corner of the parlor happened to tell the diff
ferent states they were Individually from, it
turned out that Montana, Dakota, Nevada,
California, Massachusetts, Missouri, North
Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, New
York, Maryland and Virginia were all repre-
sented, and there was one from the City of
Washington. And it was surprising to see
how much alike all these people were in man
ner, speech and mode of dress-all thorough
ly Amercan-though from parts of the coun-
try separated by, in some instances, as much
as three thousand miles. There is not an
other nation on earth whose people are such
unit, and still this is a republic made up of
a sisterhood of states and territories. There
are more differences between the people of
of the counties Of the little island
of England than there are between the peo-
pie of the states and territories of the broad
area of the United States. 1t is getting so
that everybody comes to Washington, and
therefore, everybody is coming to know
everybody else There is no trouble in
forming acquaintance here if you will be-
have yourself, but the moment you step
aside from the path of propriety you will be
cut numerically and by everybody. You
are taken largely upon your honor, and if
you haven't got any, it is ssoon found out
| and then you are not taken at all.

WIND AND WAVES.

An Upstream Storm Creates Sad Havoc
Among the Business Establishments
Along the Submerged River Front OF
Metropolis, Illi0ois--About Fifty Bui1d~
ings Destroyed.
METROPOLIS, liz, Feb. 10.
The river front of this town may be said
to be well nigh in ruins. Such another
catastrophe never visited the place since
it's existence. About three O'Clock p. m. a
black cloud came up, charged with rain,
thunder and lightning and a hurricane or
wind. That part of the city lying on the
low grounds bordering on the river is flood
ed to depth of from one to seven feet of
water. In this district, with three excep-
tions, lay every prominent industry of the
city. 1t began with Lands lumber yards,
which were swept from the face of the Wa
ters as with the Bosom of destruction. The
storm king took his course of ruin up the
river bank, striking the large stave works
of William Shelton & Co., scattering them
to the four winds of heaven. The destruc-
ton of these institutions will throw out of
employment near fifty families, placing
the larger portion OF them on the mercy of
the world. Keeping up the river, Captain
Johnson's and William Shelton's new
frame buildings are a total wreck. The
Greens hotel, a new building, was also
wrecked. Then followed the McBane build
ing on Lower Ferry street. The next build
ings to go were Richter's saloon and the
front part of the McCauley House, the best
hotel building in the city. The fine brick
Touring mills of Quante Bros. are yet
weathering the gale. Powle & Co. and
Yost, Bigelow & Co. will suffer great loss.
The flooded streets are literally filed
with the debris of wrecked buildings
household furniture and merchandise,
making such scene of destruction as the
human eye seldom witnesses in lifetime.
1t can not yet be told positively whether
any lives are lost or not. Sheriff Karr and
two other men saw two men without oars
in skiff out in the river and tried man..
fully to rescue them but could not reach
them. They, perhaps, found watery graves,
as the waves rolled and pitched like the
old ocean. The wind came almost directly
up the stream in a straight stretch of nearly
twenty miles, coming in the very worst di-
rection possible. In all perhaps fifty build
ings are destroyed, and at this writing the
damage can not be estimated. Captain j..
c.. Willis has leg broken, ana later re-
ports state that the foundry of Shelton &
Bo1court is well nigh destroyed.
The old National Hotel, famous as the
stopping place of Charles Dickens, has JUST
gone down, and later reports are to the eff
feet that one of the large warehouses of
Yost, Bigelow & Co., together with its con-
tents, has met the same fate as the other
building, and the end is not yet.
