Mrs. James Roney Is still improving, and
is expected to get along nicely.
Mrs. Matt Clark was not any improved
yesterday, and 1t is feared that it will take
time for her TO get around again.
Mrs. John B. Northey presented John with
handsome girl, and he thinks that the
Northey Bros. name is not likely to become
extinct.
Mr.. c. Conhaine, the ready-made clothing
dealer, left for Chicago last evening, having
waited for others who intended to go, but
who at last disappointed him.
There was one arrival yesterday at the
state prison, John Hartmanne. from Nor
rison county, who was sentenced to one year
and six months for burglary.
Henry Westing, who has been under the
care of physicians forsome time, is reported
easier yesterday, and 1t is hoped will be
around again in few days.
The jury, after being out few minutes in
the case OF Clara Denault VS.. Alfred Willmet,
brought in verdict for plaintiff of SIS. 80,
which was $50 less than the amount claimed.
We are pleased to state that DR.. Merrill is
on the mend, and is doing as well as his best
friends could hope. We trust to see his
CHEEKY face on the street again after little,
but the doctor has had pretty hard squeeze
This evening the Aid society of the NJ E.
church meets at the residence of Daniel
Estabrook, Fourth street. Supper will be
served from 9 to O'Clock, and music, read
ings and other kinds Of entertainment will

Chief Shortall Informed US yesterday that
his youngest son has about recovered, while
the elder one is still very low, but the doctor
thinks he can pull him through. The chief
has not had his clothes off for the past ten
days. Cannot some one relieve him in his
watches of the sicks
Mr.. j. F. Sullivan Is still on the improve
at the prison hospital, thanks to the skill Of
the physician attending him, and also the
care bestowed upon him by the members of
his lodge. He will not be moved for some
time yet, as he cannot be better cared for in
any place where he may be taken, the hospi-
tai being always kept at a uniform TEN pera-
ture.
The practice of the boys In coasting on
Oak street is fraught with danger, especially
from Fourth TO Second street, as at the cross
| ing on Third street teams and pedestrians
are passing continually. The police should
stop such practices on the thoroughfares, as
here are plenty Of first class places where
the boys can enjoy coasting without danger
TO themselves or others.
Kate Castleton appears with her specially
selected company on Monday evening next
at the Grand Opera house. Her rendition Of
the popular songs ''For Goodness Sake Don t
Say Told You,n and 'sThe Good Young
Man Who Died. is inimitable, aud as she is
a vivacious actress she cannot fail to please.
She always draws large houses.
A report having been published that the
employees OF the Transfer company have not
been paid, We can state that there is no truth
in such a rumor, as all have been paid to the
lst of January, 1885, and the company do
not yet owe for the current mouth. The
company have always paid the employees
promptly and they justly feel aggrieved over
such report
This evening the Two Johns Comedy COM
pany appear at the Grand Opera house, and
those who attend may well ''laugb and grow
fat" II they have the same effect here as
they have had the past three nights In St.
Paul. They come highly recomme ded as
fist class actors In their line, and they are
so much alike that one cannot tell which
from pOthpr. IL you wish an evening OF
amusement be at the Grand Opera house to-
night
Tuesday evening, and indeed for sometime
past, there has been a great improvement In
the conduct Of those present. the aldermen
having set the example IN not filing the
council chamber with tobacco smoke. twas
left on Tuesday evening for outsiders To vio-
late the rule, and the young men might have
taken an example from the aldermen, and
RETAINED from impregn ating the atmosphere
with tobacco smoke, as the room Is a dbl
cult enough place in which TO speak without
the addition of the fumes from their cigar
cites We commend the aldermen in bav-
| ing banshed the practice while the council Is
in session, and we trust they will see that
others do not violate 1t.
Yesterday Officer George Walters was called
on to arrest St. Paulite who was making
things lively at the St. Paul house. He was
big, bury fellow, well saturated with bug
juice, aud cooly informed friend George
that all the peelers Ia Saltwater could not
take him in, as he was the boy that could
whip his EeiLht In wild cats, and that they
could all 90 to place where, 1t Is said, the
thermometer does not go down 40 below
| zero. George did not want to go there, but
he wanted tue bully TO 20 with him to the
city, and on his refusal George got his
i Dutch up, and the way he yanked that fellow
he will not forget that our policemen have
muscle, and know how to use IL. Last even
ing he was resting quietly in the caboose,
with all tie brsg OOzed out
| Some Of the taxpayers think they hav e
struck what may be called ga Niger in the
| fence" from the action Of the city council
in passing a resolution to submit TO the leg
islature an act to amend the city charter, in
making the offices of the municipal Judge
and city clerk four years term instead Of
two years as at present They think that
there must be something 70 hide, which the
appointment Of a new clerk might unravel.
To such we would say, possess your souls in
peace, and don't let such a thing trouble you.
| Tue city treasurer reports all his receipts and
expenditures monthly, the city clerks books
are open at all times for inspection, aud we
can safely say that more accurate or better
that those kept by City Clerk
Hopkins The object is, that when
true officer like Clark Hopkins Is In Office it
Is out Of place to have the position liable To
be torn up at any time, and some iucompe-
tent one put in who would make middle of
the work 10 a very short time. Such Offices
as municipal judge and city clerk should be
held during good behavior, and The civil ser
vice reform comes in here in a good place.
The council did what II considered would
serve the best interests Of the city. We will
