from New York, and was at the Office of Re-
ceiver Brown all day
Miss Field has returned from Chicago, where
she has been selecting choice stock of fall and

AT the general term of the district court
before Judge Mcclure, the case of Ham
mons & Chesley against Kelly OBricn & Co.,
was tried. The case was not finished yester-
| day.
Mrs. VIM. Phinney, nee Florence Web
ster, of Steele county, Dakota, was in the
city yesterday on her way to New York state.
She viii make long visit here on her re-
turn.
Mrs. Rea, from Alton, was before Judge
Lemieks on charge of lunacy. She was
decidedly loony, and will no doubt stay a
short time at st. Peter. We think it is but
| temporary.
The sale of seats for the Milton Noble en-
gagement is proceeding satisfactorily. Tie
| light comedy of Love and Law, which will be
presented, is from the pen of Milton Mobiles
and is very pleasing comedy in four acts.
No doubt there will be a good house, as all
the actors are star performers. Mollie Mobiles
singing always brings applause.
This evening at the regular Wednesday
evening meeting in the Presbyterian church
DIR. Carroll will give his fourth lecture on the
Pilgrims Progress, having Tor his subject
''The Field as seen in the House of the In
terpreter." These Wednesday evening lee
lures are becoming very popular and instruc-
tive and the attendance is increasing very
much.
We regret to learn that the engagement of
Joe Jefferson at the Grand Opera house is
cancelled, telegram being received from
the agent that he could not stop here without
causing the company to lose one night. We
saw the telegram of acceptance as well as
the one that cancelled the engagement. He
would have had full house, as everybody
intended to have gone and heard him.
Harry Willard, alias Walter Stewart, has
been victimizing the hotel men through
Minnesota and Wisconsin. He says he is
from Utica, n Y, and it is found he lives
vertisements to be placed in the rooms of
board. He is about feet inches in height,
rather stout light moustache and wears light
clothes.
The farmers and others near Alton, in this
county, with those opposite them on the
Wisconsin side, have stretched cable across
| the st. Croix, and have rugged ferry for
the purpose of bringing grain across the
river to Alton, as at the latter point they pay
Csc. per bushel, while across the river only
SIC. is offered. The buyers thought they
could force the farmers to sell to them, but
now they cannot get bushel. Score one for
the energy of the farmers.
The Blaine and Logan club are making little
progress in their drll.
The water is down to four feet. but the rain of
Tuesday evening will stop its falling for day or
! two.
We regret to learn OF Mr. s. r. Stimson's con-
tinued illness. 1t is hoped that he may be able
to get around soon.
Mrs. Isaac Staples is improving, and her
physicians have strong hopes of her recovery,
but perfect quiet is still enjoined.
Mrs. DIR. Carroll and family arrived home from
their three months visit in the east yesterday
The doctor met them at the depot.
The steamer Sam Atlee came after logs that
had been sold to her owner by Sauntry, Tozer s.
Pennington, aud left with raft yesterday morn
! ing.
The heavy rain on Monday evening saved the
stacks of John Monson, who lives north OF
Marine, one having been struck with lightning
and consumed.
Yesterday morning Mr. Geo. Conklin came in
as conductor on the early Duluth freight train,
he having been appointed to the position in place
of Mulholiand resigned. He is also to be yard
master of the yards here. We are very sorry to
/ lose Mulholand, a. he was most popular but
Conklin is the one that MI the bill in every
! particular, and we congratulate him on his ap-
! pointment. The train came IN on pretty good
time yesterday morning.
The sale of tickets for the dramatic readings
by Miss VI. Lowell, at the Opera house, on Fri
day evening, has opened we'll, and it looks as
though Muller post. G. A. r., will have a full
house for the gifted reader. Special rate tickets
for the pupils Of the public school can be had
from A. a. Capron and +. f. Joy. This is a
good move. anything that will tend TO improve
the youth in reading is desirable, and Miss Low
ell can give chem good many points.
Last evening there was another crush at the
rolle- skating rink, when a. F. Smith, " no made
such a hit the previous evening in the character
of the same character lie also gave an imita-
ton of a railway train going up grade. in both
of which characters he sustained his high repu-
tation a fancy skater. The audience went
fairly wild over the exhibition. Tonight he
gives limitations OF new beginner" and in
this he acts just az natural az possible. His en-
gagement is a complete success. This is his
last night.
The report by Receiver Brown OF the Car COM
pany's position was received with much satisfac-
ton yesterday, and although the liabilities are
larger, the assets are larger In proportion than
supposed. gentleman through whose hands
all the assets passed, made the remark that the
assets will bring much more than they are placed
at in the receivers statement, and that the cred
itors viii be much better pleased in finding the
amount realized mere than stated. The agony
is passed One stakeholder we know wants three
times as much for his stock q. he did week or
two ago, and no doubt others feel in the same
pleasing position. Senator Sabin yesterday
busy at work, and the public viii find that the
company will come ont all right. Matters viii be
settled CD at an earlier date than supposed
These are pointers we haye received viii ch will
be made public in due time.
