The Glory Of the Orioie Departed.

The property of the order of the ORR
ole i'll Baltimore was sold at auction in
that city on Tuesday. The sale realized
5000. There were forty-one floats in
the last pageant, twelve Of which num-
Der were disposed of before this sale.
The order raised $50, 900 to pay the ex-
pcnses. When it was over there was a
debt of sl7 500. The wagons averaged
in cost sll0 apiece, the construction of
each tableau between $500 and s400,
and the papier-mache $4,000. Their
sale averaged about sl6 apiece. In adj
dition TO these expenses there were the
costumes. the lighting. the music, the
torch-bearers. the horses, and Numerous
other things. BY individual subscrip-
ton and by entertainments the debt
was reduced to $4,000, from which the
5000 from the sale must be deducted.
The order owns number of costumes
which will probably bring 81 each. The
balance of the debt will be paid by the
twelve gentlemen who are settling up
its accounts.

Too few American tourists ever read
one page in the short and simple annals

to-day, noticing that some seams in my
shoes were ripped, | stepped into a
shoemaker's shop, and sat waiting while
repairs were made. The room was
about eight by fourteen feet, with but
one narrow window, and that opening
on a narrow court. The owner was not
in. The operatives were a journeyman
and a boy. They were glad to talk
with me, and though their German
was not Of the best, and mine was
no better, we all three understood
each other very well. When asked
about their hours Of labor the answer

their labor was long. They said that
many worked several hours later. In

Public sentiment here is much divided
On the question whether or not a duel
was recently fought near Richmond by
. prominent gentleman of this city and
another party, name unknown. Some
believe there was no hostile meeting !;
others that the duel was fought, and
that both parties to the affair were
wounded. Rumor has il that the other
principal halls from the vicinity of

The county roads leading to Peters
burg are in terrible condition, IN
consequence Of the bad weather OF
the last few days, and trade has been
very materially interrupted. Very few
country people have come to our city

Il was expected that ere this the lire
alarm system, for which a contract was
some time ago awarded TO Baltimore

in operation here, but so far little or no
work has been done.
Very little interest has so far been
shown in the spring municipal election.

This morning Mayor Manson had be-
fore him about sixty citizens charged
with violating the ordinance requiring
them TO clean the snow from the side
walks in front Of their premises. A
few Of them put in reasonable pleas IN
extenuation. and were permitted TO de-
part in peace; others developed into
high-kickers," while others still
tuned their eloqueDce TO protestations
Of their inalienable rights as frec-born
American citizens, who roufd not De
converted into impromptu city scaver-
gers. II wouldn't do, however, and
they had to pay the penalty required
by law. Meanwhile "we, the peo-
ple," are Just making Rome howl over
the snow ordinance, and there is serl-
Gus talk Of contesting its conshtu-
tionality.
To-day q white man was observed to
issue from house on Jefferson street
and put off down the Midland railroad
track at two-forty pace, followed by
two excited women, yelling Stop

The fellow was overtaken by an officer
and carried to the police-office, where
he was charged with stealing gold
watch and chain valued at ego. The
prisoner, whose name is David T.. Gill
lespie. was searched, but no watch was
found on his person. He was commit
ted to await fuller investigation into
his case.
Our people are very much gratified
to learn that the supervising architect
at Washington has recommended the
appropriation of eos 200 additional for
the erection of public building here.
The present plan causes a great deal OF
dissatisfaction.
A strong effort is being made by the
authorities of this city to break up the
Sunday liquor traffic. This is an I'M
popular move so far as the saloon-men
are concerned, but the Mayor seems de-
termined TO exterminate the practice.
This morning he sent two offenders on
to the grand jury. One of them had
already paid s75 in fines.

MIR. Coggsyerr.s Black Bear.


Huntington, Long Island. has a SEN
sation. and one good big black bear is
the cause of it all, and his escapades the
past week have set the town in an up
roar on more than one occasion. The
bear is the property of William Coggs-
well. lie is probably intended as a
standing Coney-lsland attraction for
next season, and to this end it was
necessary that he should be trained
like the human animal-not to hug
without permission. John Holler.
professional trainer, was engaged to put
him through the PAGES. lie got along
nicely until about ten days ago, when
the bear showed an unmistakable desire
to squeeze the breath out of him. John
was very shy. so much so that on Sun
day, February Sth, the bear made his
escape.
Huntington people 90 to church, at
least some of them, and bruin made his
deJm Just as they were on their way.
Some turned back. others made a wild
break for the house of worship, and al
were scared. IIoller let the bear chase
him back a distance. but becoming tired
Of the sport. the animal turned and
wandered up the main street. Two
mastitfs sent after the bear didn't live
to tell how they liked their reception.
The amusement with the dogs put the
bear in good fighting trim, and when
Deacon Plains, of the cOlored church,
came in sight. he made for him. The
good Deacon ran. so did the bear. Had
the distance been a furlOng more the
bear would have won. As it was the
Deacon gained the church just i'll time
to slam the door against the nose of his
pursuing enemy. The Deacon preached
as usual. and while he preached lIoller
and others secured the bear. and after
a struggle hauled him back to his quar-
tiers.
The animal was punished and sub
dued. as Holler thought, for all time.
But he didn't know the nature of this
particular bear. On Friday afternoon
the brute again made his escape. and in
fifteen minutes thereafter Huntington
was to all intents and purposes desert
ed village. IIoller discovered his loss
and let loose three OF his best dogs.
The bear started for the woods and
climbed into tree. A man was found
courageous enough to climb the tree
and attempt to cut the limb on which
the bear was sitting, but at the first
stroke bruin came down. A big blood
hound tackled him and terrible battle
began, ending only when the bear was
secured from on top of a half-dead dog.
Four rifles and seventeen shot-guns, all
heavily loaded, will be discharged the
next time the bear gets loose.
