Yesterday morning. about 10 O'Clock q
fight occurred opposite the Clifton house
which drew a small crowd, but was of short
duratiou. One of the parties Of the fracas
started up town with Officer Sheldon in the
rear. who overlook him. and he was taken to
police headquarters, but released subse-

he appears to be the worst of of the two.

IN ST. PAUL,

The special train from Chicago bearing
Gen. John A. Logan and party steamed in
10 the Union depot at II o'clock yesterday
forenoon, having made remarkably quick
run from the Garden City. 1t was the frs
intention of Gen. Logan to proceed directly
to the G. A. r. encampment but it was to
be expected that he could not pass through
the commercial, financial and intellectual
and commercial metropolis of the northwest
without making at least brief halt. While
the cosmopolitan spirit of st. Paul is ready
to welcome all to her midst, it is never more
thoroughly at home than in receiving
the distinguished men of this or other ma
tons, and while the same intelligence real
lies that Gen. Logan can never occupy the
high station for which he has been thrust
forward, much ageinst his own desire. and
feels sorry for him to this extent, it never
theless accorded him a hearty and gracious
welcome. Consequently when the train
bearing the swarthy senator hove in sight a
lusty cheer OF welcome went up from the
Threats of large delegation of G. A. R. vet
Grams, who had constituted themselves a
committee on reception to extend the free
dom of the city to Gen. Logan.
When the train stopped Gen. Lsgan, wear
ing Cleveland hat, came out to the plat
form, when his hand was seized and wrung
by all the old soldiers present. 1t was pa
thetic and edifying sight to witness the cor
dial interchange of feeling, for some of those
present reminded the general of the time
when they had marched under his command
in the last days of the rebellion.
Meantime the crowd kept increasing, for
in addition to the members of Garfield and
Aacker Posts of ST. Paul company, the Willis
A. German Post, of Grand Forks, there were
a large crowd of citizens.
When the Misunderstanding was over, or
rather, when Gen Logan took his right ex-
tensor away from the crowd with an air that
intimatcd that he might need the member
again, the old veterans drew up in line and
gave their illustrious comrade Logan a rous-
ing salute, followed by the Minnesota war
whoop, which was started by Comradc Sizes.
Then Gen. Logan assured them of his kindly
regard and expressing regret that he was not
in mood fof making speech, and saying
that he would see them later, the train went
On.

Some Shrinkage.

New York Correspondence Detroit Free Press.
There's no doubt that Grant and Ward
owed nearly $4,000, 600 when their boom
burst and filed the air with ruin The assets
would seem to be alright, too-at the first
glance. Lawyer Davies makes them foot up
the handsome total of S27 ,000,0 600. But a
second glance shows sad hiatus OF some
thing so to speak. The ST., 000,000 are
nominal" that is to say, wholly fanciful.
Under the second glance they melt away at
the rate of thousand miles a minute till
nothing remains but beggardly S57. 900.
What will remain of the $50, 600 when the re-
ceiyer and his associates get through this de-
ponent is not prepared to say. But it would
not be surprising If LAWYER Davies. after alb
sorbing the s51, 900, turned round and sued
the victims of Grant 81 Ward for finding out
that all they could possibly hope for in any
case would be cent or so on the dollar.
Mr.. Davies has the name of looking out
pretty sharply for number one, and he GER
tainly won't give his time for nothing in
trying to square up the affairs of Grant 81
Ward. He is said to be somewhat disguised
at the discovery that failure for seventeen
millions, placed in his hands for settlement,
pans out altogether only shabby s57, 900.
There were other assets-some s12, 900, 600
when the failure took place. but they were
held by banks and banking horses as col
lateral for loans, and the banks and bank
ing houses turned them into cash before the
receiver knew where to look for them. Fer
dinand Ward and James D. Fish are not up
set in any way By the result of the receivers
labor's. as they knew very well what it would
be- Ward has settled down quite comfortably
in Ludlow street Jail and Fish is still in quiet
occupation of his fat near the Casino, which
he continues to visit quiet often The
Grants have dropped out of sight altogether.
Nobody now talks about them at all. | be-
lieye General Grant and Mrs. Grant are at
Long Branch; but the old prestige seems to
be gone for good. aud their comings and GO
ings are no longer noted

panied by his wife, Miss Mary Proctor, his
elder son and three smaller children and
Miss Bette Thompson, Mrs. Proctor's sister.

and a few friends, and taken to Gen. James
Cosaig's handsome residence, which had
been secured in advance for the Professors
use during his stay in the United States.
The family Will be at home there in the

summer here, and some time during the fall
will return to England to fulfil his lecture
engagements. 1t is likely, however, that his
family will remain here. His children will
attend the public schools here. One of the
principal reasons for Mr.. Proctor's coming to
America was to have his children brought III

The eleventh annual report of

As
The eleventh annual report Of the
Omaha board of education, for, the year
ending August 31st, 1883. has just been
published. Why it should require over
eight months to compile and publiah a
pamphlet of about 1876 pages is something
we don't understand. Superintendent
James report, which is dated September
10Th, 1888. appears rather stale under the
circumstances, as no speaks Of the condi.
ticn Of the schools during the school year
of ls82-1SS3. and now the school year Of
I6S3-lSS4 is nearly ended. Many Of the
defscts in the school system, particularly
in the matter Of increased accommoda,
tions. referred TO in Mr.. James report Of
last September, have been supplied since
that time, and many Of his recommends
tons have been carried out. The yalu,
of the board Of education's report is de
stroyed to a great extent by the inexcusa
bis delay in putting it before the public
1t conveys to us information that la eigh
months old at least, and is useful only a
. matter of record and occasional refe,

sage Of the bill by the house was hailed
by some demagogues in aud out of con-
gress as o great triumph Of the laboring
interests. What good will it do to any
laboring man in this country2 The
meaning Of the law is that We are to have
columns Of figures showing the number
and kinds OF workmen and their wages.
This information will be of some value,
perhaps, to the students Of political
economy, but 1t will not be of any inter-
est to any other person in the country.
About all the facts that the bureau will
collect are published every ten years
by the compiler of the United
States census, or every five years by
state census compilers. This is often
enough for all who care anything
about such statistics. To collect then
%oftener would simply be a waste of time
and money.

THE paving of Farnam street with
Sioux Falls granite will soon be begun.
The material is now being unloaded along
the street, and it will be seen at a glance
that many Of the paving blocks are not
what they should be. They are of all
shapes and sizes. Some are long and
some are short, some are thick, others are
thin; some are broader at the top than at
the bottom, others are wider at one end
than at the other. The surface Of the
stones are rough and irregular. There is
no uniformity whatever in the manner in
| which tht SO blocks have been cut. 1t
looks as if they are the rejected stones of
some other contract, and it is evident
that they do not conform to the speci6ca-
tions of the Farnam street contract,
which requires that the blocks must be of
a certain length, width and depth. The
stones that are now being delivered will
not make a good pavement on account of
their irregularity in size and roughness of
surface. We insist, in behalf of the pub
lie and the property holders who will have
to pay for the pavement, that all stones
not conforming to the specifications
be rejected. In order to do this,
a competent and honest inspector, must
be put in charge of the Farnam street
pavement. He should be appointed at
once, and begin inspecting the stones
Immediately as they are unloaded. This
is the only way that a satisfactory Ing
spection can be made, as the inspector
cannot have his seyes everywhere while
the stones are being laid by a dozen or
more men. Farnam street is the leading
thoroughfare in Omaha and The paving
work should be done in the best pos
sible manner. 1t should be doneat least as
well as that on Tenth street, where the
stones used were much nearer the re-
quired dimensions than those intended
for Farnam street. There must be some
uniformity in the size of paving blocks,
and that is what we demand for the
pavement of Farnam street.
