His first invocation in the House
that attracted notice was a vigorous
denunciation of stock gambling. Next
morning he denounced blood and pomp
in a striking way speaking Of the fable
of blood-Norman, Guelph and Gibel-

the present labor troubles in such a
manner as to call forth from Repre-
sentative the remark that it was an
"incendiary speech"
Dr.. Milburn, on hearing this, said he
had no desire to make speeches before
Congress, that he was more conserva-

The CITY HOTEL SALE.-Thc sale last

brought quite large crowd to the city.
Just before the sale Mr.. Maulsby, counsel for

was yet due Mr.. Ritter. Messrs. McSherry
and Levy, counsel for Mrs. Carlin, were com.
pletely surprised at such an announcement,
and at once assumed all risks. The crowd
were evidently in perfect sympathy with
Mrs. Carlin, and expressed themselves very
freely at the interference. Mr.. Levy was
repeatedly cheered during his remarks. The
sale was very good one. Many present
exprt ssed their d, sire to stand by Mrs. Car

sale was continued on lday, and things
sold remarkably well.-Cttisen.
