600 feet Of logs yesterday.

Burkhardt, by the Rev. Mr.. Rocker, of the
Congregational church.
Father Murphy yesterday morning, at St.
MichaePs church, joined together Mr. Joseph
MCGEE and Miss Maggie Kitty. After the

Everything is very dull in the city, not
even row can be got up. The streets are
crowded with river drivers, but they are very
quiet, more so than we have seen them in
many places.
1t is rumored that very large sale Of logs
was about completed late yesterday afternoon.
We have been unable to learn the exact num-
Der of million feet but it is not less than
two and half million.
We are pleased to see Mr.. Chas. Elsa
brooks out again He has been seriously i'll,
and it will give genuine pleasure to his
many friends to know that they will be able
to meet him out again.
The game to-day on the base ball grounds
between the Saltwater and Muskegon clubs
will no doubt be good one, and all who
possibly can should attend. We think our
boys can hold their own with them.
At the last meeting of the lodge of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, the officers
recently elected were installed. The order
is lourishing in the city, and the members
are principally young, wide awake men, who
are well up in the business of the order.
The railway crossing, which was torn up
near the shipping warehouse of the North
western Manufacturing and Car com pany, is
being replaced Main street being raised at
that point, and the crossing made level. 1t
is well put in, the workmen doing an excel
lent job.
1t is reported that the large Lowrie Touring
mill, near the Omaha station, is about chang
ing hands, and that it will be put at once
in flrst-class order. This will be great boon
to the farmers in this section, as they will
have market for all the wheat they may
wish to dispose of.
Building is pretty active in the residence
portion of the city, and some very neat homes
are being erected. This, more than anything
else, shows the soundness of the city finan-
cially. The people are building homes for
themselves, and very few houses are being
built te be rented.
The st. Paul and Duluth road is putting
on a Saturday night train, beginning on
Saturday evening next, July ), for the ac-
commodation of those who desire to spend
an evening ut White Bear Lake. The train
viii leave White Bear about IL pm. arriving
ut Saltwater at 11:30.
On Tuesday evening there was a good deal
of satisfaction expressed at the close game
of base ball that day between the Minneapo-
lis and saltwater clubs. Our citizens have
faith in their club, and are ready to back
them up. They are not at the foot of the
list by good deal. With the present man
agement they are bound to succeed.
The roller skating rink is being beautifully
decorated with evergreens, Chinese lanterns
and flags for the monster ball on the even
ing of the Fourth of July. There will be
room for all who come, to dance at once.
The preparations are most complete, and it
will be one of the grandest affairs ever held
in the city.
At the municipal court yesterday morning,
there were only couple of vags One of
them, Oliver Lane, had his sentence sus-
pended, and ordered to leave the city, but
the other, Jas. Selby, got fifteen days. He
had in his possession pair of pants, which
he must have taken from some clothes line,
as they were newly waahed and were wet. If
any one has lost such an article, let them
come and identify it, and another charge
besides vagrancy will be entered against him.
During the day two DRINKS were captured as
we'll as man named Allen Campbell, who
was lodged in the calaboose for forgery, he
having raised check or order from SO to
S3S. They will all appear this morning,
when the judge win give them their deserts.
On Friday, the glorious Fourth, there will
be quite demonstration on the base ball
n potato race, next a sack race and then a
foot race, with S32 in prizes. At 10 o'clock,
the league game between the Muskegon and
Saltwater teams will be played. This is ex-
pected to be a most exciting match, as the
clubs are evenly matched. In the afternoon
the Stillwaters and Muskegons play an ex-
hibition game at Leip's park, White Bear.
After the game there will be sailing and
fishing until 1850 when the train leaves for
Saltwater. If the boys cannot take pleasure
out of that programme, we would like to
know what else they would like. The train
leaves here for White Bear at 2:2O Re-
member the time aud do not miss the train.
On Tuesday evening very pleasant ice
cream and strawberry festival was held at
the large tent used by the Congregational
church. at the corner Of Fifth and Laurel
streets. The attendance was very good, con-
sidering the other meetings going on, and
tho location not being central to the hus;
ness part of the city. The proceeds went to
the aid of the new church which the congre-
CATION is building. The building when com
pleted will be 3 very handsome structure.
