The steamer Nina has arrived from st.
Louis.
The water fell yesterday at Taylays Falls a
foot and still falling.
j. G. Morrison, purchasing agent of the
Manitoba road, was in the city yesterday.
The City of st. Paul went up with barges
yesterday for cordwood, along the river to
Osceola.
The bridge is still continuing to be a NUS
ance, owing to its having to be kept open so
much for the passage Of logs and steamers.
The water has gone down during the past
twenty-four hours two and one-half inches,
and now stands at feet 81 inches. This
is getting pretty low, and soon navigation
will be interfered with.
Yesterday Durant, Tozer & Co., shipped
by the steamer r. j. Wheeler 1, $50, 700 feet
of lumber, and $50, 900 laths, to the Hanni-
bal Lumber company, Hannibal, Mo-, and
100000 feet of logs to Taber " Co., keOkuk,
Ia.
The storm of Monday afternoon badly
damaged some twenty acres of wheat belong
ing to Henry Jackman, near the race course.
Considering the severity Of the storm, it is
surprising that more damage was not done
in this vicinity.
The new directory of the city is command
ing good sale at other places besides the
city, and those wishing to obtain a copy
should do so at once, as Mr.. Philippi will be
in the city only a few days longer, having
about completed the delivery of the work
here.
This afternoon there was a foot race over
the race course, when the time of thirty-four
minutes and twenty-three seconds was made
for five miles. The last mile was made in
six minutes, showing that the time could be
considerably reduced. There was fair at
tendance.
For the excursion by the Jennie Hayes of
the citizens of Fall River, from Hudson to
Taylors Falls, more tickets have been sold
than the stearmer is allowed to carry. She
is limited to $50 with her barge. Capt.
Knapp is trying to make arrangements for
another steamer to accompany him.
1t looks as if the city was 20 allow the
Fourth Of July to pass without any celebra
ton. Besides the grand ball at the roller
skating rink their will be several smaller af-
fairs at different points in the city; one of
which will be at the small hall at the Grand
Opera house.
For the past two days there has been quite
movement in the lumber trade, and the
following sales are reported: The ToZer
Lumber company sold to the Clinton Lumber
company ESQ., 900 feet of logs. Durant,
Tozer IL Co., sold yesterday to the Hannibal
Lumber company [, 900, 600 feet Of lumber,
and 500, 900 shingles.
The funeral of the late Edward Brisby took
place here yesterday morning. He was in
TERED in Fairview cemetery His brothers
are overwhelmed with grief, but this sorrow
is intensified owing to the thoughts of the
grief Of the parents in England over their
youngest boy who left them so recently, and
with such bright prospects before him.
We learn that the Nimecogan pool drive
has hung up below Taylors Falls, the water
being so low. The men who have been on
that drive and others are coming in hourly,
and the city is full of river men. A number
of wannigans have arrived, which shows
that a goodly quantity of the past winters
cut viii not arrive at market this season.
AT Castle Reed only one boarder has been
received in several days. Fred. Grover was
received from Olmstead county, and has
been sentenced to the short term of eight
months for assault with intent to do great
bodily harm. Such short term as that will
hardly pay for a suit of striped clothes, and
the necessary barbering required 10 be done.
But perhaps some other boarder's old clothes
may fit him.
The attendance at the German Catholic
church fair on Monday was not very large,
but the interest was kept up through the la
dies pushing the sale OF chances upon vari-
Gus articles. Mr.. V. c. Seward, of the Hes
SatgG, has presented the fair with IL hand
some engraving, and Mr.. Louis Albenberg,
of the New York dry goods emporium, with
monster doll. The hard times are felt by
those interested in the fair as well as others.
There are a large number of lumbermen
In the city from distance, which shows that
millmen are looking after the lumber supply.
Among those in the city are Mr.. De Suer, of
Knapp, Stout IL Co., Dubuque, Ia. Mr.. Har-
mann, of Hartmann IL Wapples, Hannibal,
Mo, and Messrs. Delaney " Herne, of the
same place, Mr.. Horton, of Winona, Mr..
Glenn, OF the Lyons Lumber company,
Lyons, Mr.. Button, of Muscatine, Mr. St
John, of Marine, and others. This shows
that we will have the pleasure of recording
sales at an early date.
We are informed that the total amount Of
logs that viii not be got through this year
will not exceed 5000, 600, which is about the
average amount remaining in the rivers
yearly. The whole amount come through
is in the neighborhood of 275, 900 600 feet,
of which 30, 600, 900 were from last year. The
work at the boom is expected to be finished
In about two weeks The work has been
proceeded with in an excellent manner,
thanks to the superintendent of Mr..

andthe efficient body of men under him.

At SEQ last evening there was intense ex-
atement in the city owing to the hurried
nngingof the fire bell, and the speed with
which the hose cart dashed off to the State
prison, from which point the alarm had
rung. When they got there it was found
that the alarm had not been turned on from
that box. and the location of the fire could
