Queer Sunday Sport.

John Dunlap and Thomas Kelly,
two railroad laborers, became in
volved in a dispute, Sunday,
over which was the more skillful
in the use of his fists. After an
hour of argument, it was decided to
settle the question in a practical
way. The men had discussed their
merits IN the office of the Sullivan
House, where they boarded, and it
was but natural that they selected
as a vantage-greund the street in
front of the hotel. In less time
than a ring could be formed,
the two disputants stood facing
each other on the otherwise desert
ed street. Regardless of Lon
don Prize Ring, Marquis of Queens
berry or other rules, they pounded
each other right and left. There
was no referee and cries of foul
received no attention, only to
arouse the fouled fighters to a
greater display of energy. No
rests were taken for thirty minutes,
when, bruised and bleeding, both
men stopped for want of breath.
Neither was willing to acknowledge
himself beaten, but friends induced
them to shake hands and call it
| square.

AT KABRTCH'S.
A Narrow Escape.

Sunday, as John Baker, the
foot racer, was taking his accustem-
ed morning training exercise,
which consists of a ten mile walk
at a fast pace, preparatory to the
big three hour contest which will
be run in the Ferris Grand Opera
House on the evening Of the 22nd,
he came very near losing his life.
He was walking westward upon
the Alton track with his thoughts
entirely absorbed In the coming
race and to avoid a flying pass
enger train which was moving in
the opposite direction he stepped
aside and on to the Wabash track,
which runs parallel with the Alton
at this point. As he did SO q loud
warning whistle from the rear
startled him and with one bound
he cleared the track just in time to
receive a blow from a passing
freight train which sent him rolling
down the embankment and clear
from the treacherous wheels.
Several witnesses to the thrilling
spectacle rushed to his assistance
expecting to find a mutilated
corpse, but were surprised to see
the athlete jump lightly to his feet,
and after declining the ~proffered
assistance with thanks, disappear
down the track at a gait which
would puzzle the most agile to
follow, apparently u%ninjured.

AmusementS.

"Muggs' Landing was given at
the Grand Monday eve to house not
a third as large as the performance
deserved. Miss Laura Joyce, the
"streak % sunshine" as Muggs, is
a clever little body who keeps the
audience bubbling with merriment
from the rising of the curtain. And
Mr.. John Sims, who impersonates
the red-headed land agent, asa
Beck-why, ''he's all right" The
support is excellent.

MORE THAN MAGNIFICENT.
Sallee's Wonderful Stock OF
Christmas Novelties-The
List, Briefly Given.

1t is no wonder that Sallee's
book and stationery establishment
is crowded all day and the early
part of the night with lovers of the
beautiful. The big store is stocked
well with an elegant line of Christ
mas nevelties-a large and more
varied stock, probably, than was
ever brought to the city before.
Upon entering the store, the visitor
is struck with the rich display be-
fore hlm. The fine, warm colors
make a combination that is almost
enhancing in its lovelir.ess. The
following incomplete list will give
the reader an idea ofwhat this mag
nifcent stock is composed:
Gift books in fine bindings with
out number, miscellaneous juvenile
volumes, massive plush goods,
oxydized silver goods, brass and
bronze ornaments and novelties by
the hundred, Lincrusta Walton
plaques, improved dictionary
holders, vases, books for presents,
statuary, Oxford Bibles, albums in
all imaginable shapes, sizes, color
and finish, box papers, toilet cases
magnificent ones) manicure cases,
infant sets, smoking and shaving
sets, booklets, the latest novelty, by
the way, and collection ofinstruc-
tive and wonderful toys for the
children.
For Christmas novelties without
end Sallee's is the place to go. Do
not fail to drop around and inspect
the stock. The location is well
known-in the Kabrich Opera
Block.

correspondence OF the Ledger.
OAK GROVE, AUDRArg COUNTY,
Dec. l0.-Our part of the county
has been slightly neglected 40 re-
CARDS bridges. / have talked with
Judge-cleot Kendall and he has
promised TO look out for us during
the coming year. This place is
located about eighteen miles north
east Of Mexico, but we want bridges
and roads about as bad as you
wanted natural gas sometime ago.
We are very anxious out here TO
learn something of the new rail-
road. We are only afraid the en-
terprise has collapsed altogether.

THE COLD
The People Didn't Take Kindly to
Charity-Amusement Notes.

Even the combination of Charity
and Hamlet did not fill the Ferris
Grand on Saturday evening. The
attendance was only fair, while the
performance of Shakspeare's mas
terpiece was good. A portion of
the audience-it may be said to its
credit-came out in the name of
Charity. expecting to see. a butch
cry of the tragedy but it was a
disappointment and an agreeable
one.
As the Melancholy Dane, Mr..
Edmond Crumbaugh is an amateur
success for his second appearance
in the character, his performance
was remarkably good. His lack of
familiarity with his lines was no.
ticeable at times and with expert
ence his presence would become
more a part of him. If Mr.. Crum-
baugh should chose the stage as a
profession, his success would be
greater from the start than that of
half of the actors who are to-day
starring the country in one-night
stands. The Loertes of Mr.. Robert
Halnes found many admirers in the
audience, and Mr.. I. H. Browns
Polonius, was exceedingly good.
Mr.. John Dorsey makes a first
rate Graue-digger, and as the Queen
and Ophelia Miss Hogan and Miss
Russell sustained their parts well.
AT KABRICH's.
Owens Uncle Toms Cabin Co.
played to a good audience at Ka-
brich's Saturday evening. Uncle
Tom, with his collection of Evas,
Marks, singing darkies and dogs
and donkeys, never fails to draw a
crowd III Mexico.
Just the thing for Xmas presents,
so silk gold mounted umbrellas
will be sold one-third less than

The Mysterious Man Who Glides
Over the Old Skating Rink
Floor.

lEoStS mornings u SNost HoiuS hiSii
carnival in the old skating rink UNI
der kabrich's. So, at least, the
boys who sleep in the block say.
Alb Armstrong, who spends his
nights in the store, has been una
BILE to even doze after three O'Clock
in the morning for Il week. Great
thumpings in the basement under
HIM disturb his slumbers and all
efforts to ferret the mystery have
proven vain ones. On Friday
night, Sam Baskin spent the night
with Armstrong. At three O'Clock
Saturday morning the pair were
awakened by y soft, whirring noise,
apparently coming from the floor
beneath their bed. Sam jumped
from his bunk, yet half asleep, and
shouted
"Iour hour is up come in and
take off your skates or renew !"
The ex-Constable was dreaming,
and having heard the familiar
sound of roller skates, thought he
was still running the rink. The
noise made by Baskin awoke Arm
strong and the two sat on the side
of the bed while the ex-Constable
told the manager of what he had
heard. They then commenced to
listen. In five minutes they heard
a loud clatter and then the whirring
noise, with an occasional click,
reached their ears.
| ears.
Armstrong proposed an investi-
CATION and Baskin readily assented.
The ex-Constable reached up over
the head of the bed, and getting
the star he wore while an officer,
pinned it on his breast. Thus
armored, he led the way down
the basement stairs, while two
steps behind him came the mana
ger, carrying a navy pistol and a
copy of "Julian's Interest Tables"
When the investigators reached the
bottom of the steps, Armstrong
turned the knob of the door and the
big rink was open before them.
The noise now became terrific. At
first, neither saw a thing; then
Baskin's watchful eye, trained by
long experience as an officer of the
law, discerned a figure looking
very much like Hamlet's fathers
ghost, sitting on a bench near the
wall. The figure leaned over, ap-
parently adjusting something to its
feet. Presently, it got up and
started across the floor, skating !.
1t took perhaps a minute for the
figure to reach the door at (which
Sam and Alb were standing ,butln the
interim each particular hair on the
heads of both gentlemen found its
way straight up. Armstrong was
the first to regain his presence of
mind and he hurled his pistol at
the advanaincing skater. The
weapon went right through the fell
low at about the point whore his
stomach should have been located
and the figure kept right ahead.
The ex-Constable and the manager
were frightened half to death, and
with a howl, the former slammed
the door in the face of the appari.
ton. The pair hastily fastened
the bolt and with a timorous glance
over their shoulders, returned to
the floor above. The noise be.
meath them kept up tor sometime.
but as day began to dawn, ceased
altogether.
The ex-Constable swears he will
never sleep with Al again, but the
manager thinks everything will
come around all right in a few
days. He does not believe in
ghosts and he thinks his friends
have put up a job ON him, and he
is doubtless right.
