Hartford Post.
The opal is represented to be an un-
lucky gem. Perhaps it is. Here is little
evidence to prove it. A young lady of this
city received for one of her wedding gifts
very handsome opal pin. On the wedding,
trip it was disco rered that the opal was
left at home. 1t was telegraphed for, to be
brought down to New York by friend.
The friend carried it, as was supposed, but
Oh his arrival it was not to be found. 1t
had been mislaid somewhere. After sea
son it was found, and next made its az
pearance at ''tea," whsfe it was an adorn-
ment of the young lady. Arriving home,
the opal was found to be missing. Search
in every possible place and advertising in
the newspapers failed to reveal its where
abouts for weeks. 1t was at last accident
ally discovered caught in the fringe of a
Christmas card which depended from gas
bracket, where it had accidentally caught
and swung around face to the wall in
hiding, not five feet from where it was
passed a hundred times day. and not
three inches from the button OH the gas
fixture that was turned daily. The vaca-
ton of the opal was also unique. The
couple went into the mountains with two
trunks. Arriving at the hotel. one OF the
trunks was wrong trunk, although the
right check was present. Some laundering
baggage-master en- route had made wrong
transfer. and the trunk, which was the
lady's, had gone off on its own hook, or its
own check. ''dere's state OF things" as
Ko-Ko would remark. The lost trunk fur
nished the topic of conversation for the
mountain village. The hotel guests con-
doled with the unfortunate losers, shock
their heads lugubriously. and substantiated
their shakes (?) by cheerful stories OF lost
trunks that they had known about. The
telegraph was put into requisition. and,
after many days, the trunk made its ap-
pearance, and then congratulations, fire
works in the evening"" etc. The opal was
in that trunk.

wester. Freight Association.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-The Western Freight
association committee was in session to-day
trying to reach an agreement to put into
effect the gross money pool plan to govern
traffic in that territory. 1t was proposed
to make the new pool for five years, the
commissioner to fix the percentages, which,
If not satisfac tory, could be appealed to a
board of control. All OF the roads voted
in favor of the scheme except the Wabash.
The latter claimed that the old pool was
still in force and was good enough for that
road. The upshot will be majority and
minority report to the general meeting next
Tuesday. Notwithstanding the series OF
meetings held during the week nothing has
yet been accomplished and the work will
all have to be gone over again when the
general managers get together on Tuesday.

Burned with Acid.

A rather mysterious assault was COM
mtted by some unknown person on Edward
Tilleman. who lives at the corner of Isabel
street and and Winslow avenue, Thursday
night. Tilleman. who is musician in the
Great Western band, slept in room on the
ground floor of the dwelling. Shortly after
he retired, his wife, who slept in an ad-
joining room, heard him scream and went
to his assistance. His face and right arm
and leg had the appearance of being
burned and DIR. Mcnamara. who was called,
said carbolic acid must have been thrown on
the sleeper. Tilleman was around yesterday,
and although his face is severely burned, no
serious results will follow. The affair was
reported to the police, but although Mrs.
Tilleman says she has an idea Of who COM
mitted the assault, no arrests have been
made.

The last act of the department competl-
ton was to be short range match at 200
yards, open to any member of the regular
army, five shots each entry, entries un-
limited, entrance fee SO cents first entry,
and 25 cents for each additional entry, the
two highest scores to count. In the years
before when the rifle fever has run high,
the number of entries has been large. but
Yesterday not an entry was recorded,
although prizes were offered aggregating
nearly $500. The formal and Impressive
ceremony of presenting the prizes occupied
the afternoon. The infantry and artillery
troops at the fort were marshaled under
command of Col. Van Horn, while Col
Lawson held the center Of the long line
with the 160 officers and men from his rife
camp. After the band had paraded, line
was formed of the successful competitors,
who were then marched to the front,
where Gen. Ruger was posted with
his entire staff, in full uniform.
Carriages lined the post drive and the
edge of the parade ground near the general
was filled with visitors. 1t has been Gus
tomary in this and other departments for
the prize winners to receive tle medals from
| feminine hands, but yesterday Gen. Ruger
made the presentation himself. His ad-
dresses to the different competitors were
| short, but pithy and full of enthusiasm.
He congratulated Sergt. Unger, who has
been at three previous competitions without
winning anything, but who this year led
the team, on his perseverance. And no
doubt Unger congratulated himself, for
when he stepped back into the line. after
facing the general, he bore $150 worth of
solid gold and silver.
| To Lieut. Perkins Gen. Ruger expressed
himself in strong terms of praise, commend
ing the lieutenant's steadiness of nerve and
wonderful skill. This tribute pleased the
| 100 competitors and army generally more
| than anything else that occurred. Lieut..
| Perkins is one of the best shots in
the service, and for so young a
man, a graduate of 'S9, he has achieved
wonders. Corp. WinslOw and SeIgt Organ
received team medals. and Sergt. Zobel the
handsome medal offered by Mr. Victor Rob-
ertson, valued at S7O. The rife camp will

The council committee on streets met last
evening and considered the opening and
grading of Irvine avenue from Western
avenue to Walnut street. ID. X. NOyes
and others insisted on the improvement and
presented petition signed by two-thirds OF
the property owners. One of the reasons
given by Mr. Noyes that the street should
be opened was that his daughter wanted a
pony and he had concluded not to purchase
it until the Improvement was made. The
committee decided to report favorably on
the petition. The protest against the Min
nesota & Northwestern road laying tracks

been examined into and the laying OF the
track on the street between Indiana and
Fairfield avenues stopped. The Grand

Aids. Sanbcrn and Long not being present
it was thought best to lay the matter over.
Thomas Cochran, Jr., said Mr.. Lowry was
to sail for Europe Oct. 1, and the matter
ought to be settled before that time.
City Attorney Murray hiuted that the
sudden desire of Mr.. Lowry to go to
Europe, Egypt, or some other foreign cline
as soon as an ordinance in which he was
interested was brought before the council,
was something OF chestnut. Every time
an ordinance was brought up in which
Lowry figured. Mr.. Murray said, it was
was rushed through to enable him to go
somewhere, and after the ordinance was
passed the city nearly always found several
things which had escaped observation III
the hurry. Mr.. Cochran said that Mr..
Lowry was not interested in this case, and
did not seem particularly anxious one way
or the other. 1t was the property owners
and loyal citizens of ST. Paul
who wanted the thing passed.
MI. Murray interrupted the speaker to say
that as soon as the "loyal citizens" came up
with the bonus, Lowry would be very much
interested and more so than any one else.
Aid. Starkey thought the route of the pro-
posed line was too vague and suggested that
the parties interested prepare plat show
ing the proposed line and also giving the
metes and bounds. City Attorney Murray
wanted to know if Lowry would sign bonds
to have the road completed within given
time if the ordinance was passed. MI.
Cochran said Lowry had agreed to have the
road completed by Oct 1, 1887, if the ordi-
nance was passed, and he had no doubt
that some arrangement could be made as
suggested by Mr.. Murray. The matter was
postponed nntl those interested shall have
prepared a plat of the proposed r9ad, at
which time special meeting of the commit
tee will be called to consider the ordinance.
