HUESING Is SUSTAINED.
Dissolve the Injunction in the
AbattOir Case.

In the circuit court this afternoon,
Judge Glenn rendered his decision in the
case of the motion on the part of the
city to dissolve the Huesing injunction,
enioining the city from using the
recently constructed abattoir. and ap-
propriating money to sustain the same.
The injunction was served by Mr.. August
Huesing last June, and during the Sep
TENDER term Of court the motion on
the part of the city TO dissolve
the injunction was argued By Messrs.
Gest. Sturgeon and E. D. Sweeney, and
NJ E. Sweeney on the part of the city,
and Judge Wilkinson, and Messrs. Jack,
son and Durham, the latter of Geneseo,
for Huesing, the mouthpiece of the re-
belling butchers for sustaining the IN
junction. These gentlemen were all
in the court room when Judge Glenn gave
his decision.
Judge Glenn stated 10 his remarks &C
conpanying his decision that the vital
question of the injunction was whether
or not the city had right to establish an
abattOir. The decision is therefore
victory for the revolving butchers over the
city at the start. but it by no means ends
the case, as the motion may be taken to
the supreme court if the city so desires.
OTHER COURT DoINGs.
Judge Glenn this afternoon fixed the
bonds of Keeping and Mills, charged
with horse stealing at 800 each.
The grand jury met this afternoon pur
suaut to the call from Judge Glenn. 1t
is understood the cases of Kittell and
Browning, held for forgery, are TO receive
attention.

AIMEE.

In regard to Aimee, who is to appear
at Harper's theatre tomorrow evening in
her very successful farce comedy Nam.
'zelle, the Brooklyn New York Standard
of Sept. IA, says;
There was round of merriment at the
Park theatre last evening when Aimee
and her excellent company appeared in
the farcical comedy written expressly for
her and entitled MAN 'zelle' 1t has
been criticized so many times that it is
not worth while to redescribe it, except
to say that the situations are as natural
as any in real life, and intensely amusing,
one of the funniest scenes being that in
which Mr.. Topper and brother>in>law
view the banquet he pays for but 10
which he is not invited though he after
wards improves the opportunity when the
bsnqueters leave TO stuff himself with the
delicate viauds on the table. Throughout,
Aimee displayed that thorough apprecia-
ton of the humor of the piece which en-
ables her to touch SO successfully the
risibles of the audience. The unusual
spectacle of some of the actors as part
of the audience, playing their parts in
the boxes ana among the seats, was also
highly appreciated, as it always is, and
the fun was heightened by the mistakes
made by the audience, some of whom
thought the actors in question lunstics,
and were glad when Police Officer Dan
came in and rushed one of them out.

NEW USE OF ARSENIC,
How to Efectually Destroy Worms and
Insects that Hatch in the Ground.

How to Efectually Destroy Worms and
Insects that Hatch in the Ground.
A correspondent of one of our daily
journals recommends the use of arsenic
in the soil. and calls the attention of
those in charge of city parks to the
fact now demonstrated on a very large
scale and during three years. that
worms of every kind and insects that
hatch in the ground are utterly de-
stroyed by the use of arsenic in the
SOIL Extensive use of arsenic in the
form of crude arsenious acid, mixed
with fertilizers and cultivated in ut the
rate of about twenty pounds of arsenic
to the acre, has been introduced near
Detroit. Mich, by Mr.. William H.
Stevens. and also by Senator Palmer
and other extensive landowners in
their neighborhood. and with the uni
form result that it destroys Ill worms
in the soil and enormt Gsfy increases
the crops of grain. roots and fruit by
destroying the insects that are their
enemies. No doubt the same benefit
cial result will follow its use in the soil
near park and street trees. In the case
Of cropsn no arsenic has ever been found
in the roots or grain, so that its use is
entirely harmless. The virtue of Paris
green in killing potato bugs is entirely
due to the arsenic in it, and plain ar.
senious acid is both much cheaper and
much more efficient in the soil, but it
is not suitable to put on the leaves of
plants. Christian at WOrE.

ERADfCATiNG GARLIC.

An Experiment Which Is Alleged to Have
Proved Entirely Successful.
In 1884 tried an experiment in Grad.
icating garlic. which has proved COM
pletely successful. About two acres OF
sloping pasture ground was literally
covered with garlic; when fully headed,
but before the seeds were matured,
took scythe and moved it all down
close to the ground. The heads were
allowed to lie where they fell. This
year not single garlic pl; mt can be
found in the space moved over. while it
is plentiful everywhere else on my
farm. communicating my milk and often
entailing heavy loss through rejection
by my wholesale purchaser.
My reason for awaiting the formation
OF heads before moving was the fains
nope that garlic. like rye, might no:
continue further growth if cut at that
stage of existence.

by no means establishes a rule; yet 50

Valuable Recipes for Young Houselreeper.
and Dissatiiied Hoarders.
You want 10 know how to make steal

full of ripe, golden experience on
steak. If there's any one in all this
wide. weeping world who has full and
perfect knowledge of steak, we are tina,
person. We nearly choked to death on
steak once, Eulal:e. But hearken to
the sweet, melliiuous piping of our
gentle Oboe. Ii you are keeping hou e
and want to make your steak tender,
buy big seven-barreled revolver. Go
around to the butchers and present the
executive end of the gun at his head.
Then address him in some such honeyed
words as these:
"You m SCRABBLE, swindling. bone
chopping scoundrel, if you send mo
more such steak as that stuff you sent
me yesterday morning, I'll blow you
into the middle of Jersey City,
That'il settle h m, Eulalie. When he
sees that your soft, womanly heart is
not to be trifled with, he II weaken, and
send around the porterhouse that yo,,
pay for.
But if you are boarding, Eulalie, ard
want to make the steak tender, you
must pursue a very different plan. Y.u
can not deal with the butcher, if You
are board ng, SO you must pay your at
tentions directly to the steak. When
the steak is placed on the table before
you. take it up gently on your fork and
60 up to your room with it. Place it
on the plate of your sewing-machine, in
tine spot where you put your sewing.
Then st down firmly in a chair, Eulalic,
and put your feet on the pedals of the
machine. When you have done this.
begin to operate the pedals. Operate
as if the house was on fire. Keep it up
for about two hours. See that you have
4 good stout needle in the machine,
otherwise it night break off in thu

After you have kept this up for the
time mentioned. you will find that you
can cut the clearinghouse steak quite
easily with a steam circular-saw.-Pucl;.
