AMONG THE MILLS.
Low Water and Bad Markets Com
spire to K Reduce the Flour Output.

In its weekly review of the mills, the
Northwestern Miller will say: Last week
closed without notable event, except that
the -four production was the lightest for a
number of years. The output of the five
mills that ran amounted to 12,607 barrels
averaging 2,1O1 barrels daily-against
70, $40 barrels the preceding week and 49,
800 barrels for the corresponding week in
1884. This week there are number of
mills that are endeavoring to run, but since
Monday they have not succeeded very we'll
Sundays cold snap had the effect of gre ltly
lowering the water in the river, and since
then the power has been very poor. On
Monday the water was ten feet in
the canal than on Saturday and only one or
two of the smallest mills could run. 1t i'm
proved somewhat yesterday, however. but
with number of the larger mills drawing
on it, the head varied considerably and was
poor at the best. The lack of water is sup
posed to be largely due to ice gorging in the
river above, thing not unusual, and hold
ing the water back. and it is believed that
the difficulty will be remedied partially at
least by a few days time. The opinion OBJ
tains nevertheless, among mill men that
there will be a shortage of water power
from this on. At noon to-day there were
nine mills in operation, but the power was
not good, there being only about eight feet
of water in the canal against fifteen week
ago, and the mills were not getting along
very well. The capacity of these mills is
10, 900 barrels. 5000 barrels of which is
operated by steam. Two more, represent
ing 1880 barrels, will be started to-mor-
row. One other of l, 800 barrels will be put
in motion Monday, and probably others.
Mlllers report the demand for -four rather
more active, but prices are no better.

IN CAV ATTIRE.
The Gorgeous Pageant at the WASH
ingtOn Rink Last Night.

ingtOn Rink Last Night.
The Washington rink, which seems, by a
dint of good rink and plenteous advertising,
to catch what little roller skating business
is going so far this winter, was the scene
last night of one of those periodical pa
geants of which it has always been the the
alter. About $500 worth of prizes had been
offered for a display of costumes, the
leading one being an oil portrait by Her
bert Conner, and the Others for the most
part. being handsome bric-a-brac. Proba-
bly, two hundred masks turned out, and per-
hapS ten times that number of spectators
took in the pageant from the balconies.
While neither crowd nor costumes equaled,
in number. those at the carnival of last
year, the latter amply compensated in quail
ity, the variety and taste being simply end
less and the hosiery display more than
gorgeous. The grand march was sounded
at $50 o'clock and the judges had full
opportunity of inspecting the various cos
tunes. Too great was the number to adj
nit of mention, and as the masks were re-
tanned in many cases, it would be
impossible to give the names of the wear
ers. Many of the ladies employed the finest
material in the makeup of their costumes.
and she who wins her portrait will have it
painted with the most elaborate accessories.
The judges, some twenty in number. will
now compare notes and tonight the award
will be made Public opinion has already
decided most of them, but it would be man
ifestly improper to foreStall the judges by
an announcement.

A War Story.
Grass Valley (Cal.l Union.

Grass Valley (Cal.) Union.
On one occasion my file leader, or the
man who stood in front of me in the ranks.
turned and said: eff you see me attempt
to run, or if show the white feather, knock
me down. / feel now as though was 60
ing to bolt, and believe if 1 have chance
l will 20 like lightning. If l start grab
me, kick me, pound me, but don't let me
rum"
The fight came on, and the line at the
TANKS bent back and back, and the centre
began to falter. The man in front of me,
the man who had been in front of me, was
beside me. AS the sweeping rebel line
came down on us he said, with CHASTITY face,
"Let's meet them half way" He sprang
forward with whoop and that part of the
line went with him. There was an awk-
ward and furious struggle, but in five min
utes we were pursuing the Confederates
through the cornfeld; and in rare exhil-
aration of spirits the man who had been
afraid he would bolt was conducting HIM
self after the manner of frolicsome dog.
He told me afterward that he spent in
that cornfeld with bullets whizzing about
him the happiest minutes of his life. He
was happy because he had proven himself
better man than he thought he was. He
was Historically happy because he discov-
cred that after all he was not a coward, and
after that he never had doubt of himself.
He had none of the daring that made men
rejoice in a fight, but he had that sort of
self-control that made good sharp-shooter,
that made man to be depended on in the
crisis of battle, that made good volunteer
to charge battery. and he made reputa-
ton as man of rare and indomitable cour-
age.

MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.

Tomorrow evening Messrs. Gamble,
Bromley, Snowden, Alexander and Clough
will be arraigned against each other in a
skating race at the Oak Lake rink.
The following criticism from the Cincin-
natl Enquirer will prove quite interesting
reading to those who are acquainted with
the facts which attended Patsy Cardiffs
efforts to arrange fight to a finish with
Charley Mitchell short time ago:
What pity it was that Charley Mitchell, the
alleged English champion, did not start out
| as lecturer, stump-speaker. or street
medicine fakir, or some other calling where
wind and gall are the prime requisites to in
sure success? He would certainly by this
time have been on the high road to fame and
fortune in any one of these callings, but as a
fighter, except with his mouth, he is dismal
failure. He had great many friends when
he came to this country, but he has disguised
most of them by his dudish airs and boastful
talk about his prowess. He has no record on
which to 'swen himself" He has never
whipped anybody, either on this or the other
side of the Atlantic, except Mike Cleary, and
the latter was so much out of condition when
he met the Englishman that any novice could
have knocked him out. al Greenfield had q
much better record than Mitchell, but still he
did not put on half the airs of the latter.
Greenfield, too, is game man, and during
his stay here showed himself ready and will
ing to meet all corners, which is more than
Mitchell can do. The other day Mitchell. who
is travelling with minstrel troupe, made ia
big bluff about whipping Sullivan, Kllrain, or
any other of the Boston fighters. He was
spelling for match. until John Lynn, a
prominent sporting man of the Hub. came to
the front and offered to back Kilrain for
$1,000. Mitchell was afraid of a Boston
leferee, but Mr.. Lynn removed all cause for
grumbling on that score by allowing Mitchell
to name man for that position. Even after
this concession the Englishman weakened
and refused to make a match. There are six
or seven fighters in the country besides the
big champion vino only want the opportunity
aud they will maAea holy show of Wind-and-
Gall Mitchell, who has no right to the title of
champion of England.

A PECULIAR CASE.
A Printer Charged With Perrin
INTO Ladies, Sleeping Rooms,

A Printer Charged With Peering
Into Ladies' Sleeping Rooms.
For the past two days peculiar case has
been on trial in the municipal court. On
Saturday evening Otto Oder, printer en-
ployed in the Northwestern Miller office,
was corralled by citizens and turned over to
the police. The charge marked down
against him was, Lurking around prem
ises with intent to commit mischief" A
portion of the testimony has been taken and
the case was yesterday continued until Sat-
urday for the closing. The evidence adj
duced on the part of the state is to the
effect that for some time the defendant has
been in the habit of peering into the I'M
curtalned windows of ladies' bedrooms in
the vicinity of Third avenue south and Six
teenth street while the inmates were dis
robing. On Saturday night they saw a.
mans face close to window. and two
young men in the house being notified of
the occurrence ran out, and discovering
Oder walking up the street fired pistol shots
at him and commanded him to hold up his
hands. Being frightened he obeyed the in
junction and was taken into custody. Oder
made specific denial of the charges and
stated that he had never looked into the
windows. He proved an alibi in one par
Eicular instance and it is expected by his
friends that his innocence will be estab-
iShed to the satisfaction of the court.

Insurance Company Sustained.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. "a test
case of considerable importance has been
decided in the supreme court, the Home
Insurance company against Cross. The
defendant was one of the policy holders
in the American Insurance company of
Chicago, which, on the 1st of January,
ASA, sold its business to the Home Insur
ance company of New York, the terms
being the payment of cash of $11S,000 and
the acceptance of premium notes given by
the policy holders in the first-named COM
pany. There were about four hundred
policy holders in Indiana, and in behalf of
the defendant, representing many of these,
it was contended that the American COM
pany was insolvent and had gone out of
business, and that therefore the policy
holders were not bound to continue paying
their premiums, but were free to insure
where they pleased. The verdict decided
that the premium notes were still valid,
and maintained the rights Of the Home on
all points.

A SLOW DAY
I'm the District C0urt--Wrongs TO
Women Rlghted.


Michael BreslaUer, newsdealer att 06 Hen
nepin avenue, was yesterday arraigned III the
district court to answer to an indictment 1or
selling a copy of the Police Gazette. breS-
lauer changed his plea of not guilty TO
guilty. Judge Koon said he would suspend
sentence until next term. when the defend
ant is to appear. The courts action was
based upon the understanding that Bres-
lauer has agreed to discontinue the sale OF
the publication.
The remainder of the criminal business
was confined to the disposition OF four bas-
tardv cases. The case OF August HeidcOm.
charged by Katherine Schneider with being
the father of her child, was quickly tried.
The defendant acknowledged his guilt and
protested his willingness to marry the girl
Katherine would not consent to this. and
the court ordered August to pay 50 per
week for the support of the child and to
give bonds in $500. The case of James c.
Ring was dismissed. certificate being
shown of his marriage Dec. to Celia j.
Gylder, the complaining witness. The case
of Eber Grindall, concerning which jury
failed to agree at the last term of court,
came up for another trial. Eber failed to
show up and his bond for $500 was de-
cared forfeited. The court made the same
order as in the HeidcUm case. Annie Ander-
son the complainant, and her sister, being
the only witnesses examined. In the case
of John Peterson there was no appearance,
and the court declared the defendants
bonds defaulted.
The criminal cases set for to-day are:
E. j. Teipner, criminal assault upon Julia
Peterson; Kate Kelly, keeping house of
prostitution; Emanuel Green, receiving
stolen property.
CIVIL CASES.
The civil suits also were quickly disposed
of yesterday. In Judge Lochren'S court
jury trial was waived in the suit of l.. M.
Stewart VS.. Cyrus l.. Smith, and the case
was continued for trial by court. A jury
was sworn to try the action brought by the
Minneapolis Harmonic society against Peter
Burfening to collect the amount of a sub
scripton to the societY'S building fund, but
the court allowed the plaintiffs motion for
leave to amend the complaint within twenty
days. and the case was continued.
The only civil case before Judge Koon
was the suit of Ii. l.. Gordon VS.. E. W.
Griffin, to recover $500 on a prOmissory
note and S556. % for goods furnished. The
jury returned a verdict for the full amount
asked.
Judge Koon yesterday denied motion
for a new trial by the defendant in the case
of n. johnson. assignee for G. l.. thinner
man, VS.. Pat Bray sheriff of Sibley county.

blacks was one nearly as large as the par
TALLY booty Swede they were plaguing.
The Swede now and then turned and
laughed good-naturedly at the boys, as
though he really enjoyed the diversion.
This emboldened the larger boy until he
ran up and caught the Swede by the lapel
OF his coat Grinning from ear to ear, the
Swede turned slowly around and grasped
the boy by the throat, and choked him until
his tongue ran out three inches. When the
vice-like grip was relaxed the funny big boy
ran back to his frightened comrades, shout

characteristic and provoked the laughter OF
several witnesses to the occurrence.

Better Stage of Water.

During Tuesday night there was marked
improvement in the stage of water in the
river and the millers were in much better
sspirits yesterday. The members of the
water department delare that there is not
the slightest danger of a scarcity of water
or lack of pressure in case of fire, The
sensational report started inadvertently by
the papers has worked almost incalculable
harm to our city. The insurance companies
have become frightened and will probably
make trouble.
