Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-07-21

So many different railroad reports
have been current during the past year
and so little decided action has followed
that most of us have become exceeding
ly incredulous of all rumors on the sub
ject However one was heard yesterday
that certainly has enough foundation to
build hope on. In effect 1t is that the
Northwestern company has obligated
itself to perform certain services that
will require building spur from White
wood into Dsadwood, and that work
will begin at both ends of the line no
later than August Goth, the road to be
completed and operated as soon there.

ADJUSTMENTS. A
"Held by the Enemy,

''Held by the Enemy.''
 William Gillette's war drama ssHeld by the Enemy" will be given it's third repre- sentation this season at the opera house to- night. It is too we'll known to need com mendation. This afternoon it was witnessed by small audience, but large house is promised for this evening.
 .'Two old Cronies."
 This piece will be given at the opera house Monday evening. The com pany is said to be very strong. Wills and Henshaw are comedians of more than or dinary ability, and Miss Ten Broeck Lizzie flight and Norma Wills are vocalists and actresses of eminence. The comedy is in terspersed with selections from ''Martha, D "Erminie," and "Black Hussar," and the specialties introduced by MT Wills, MT Henshaw and MT Monte Collins are excru- ciatingly funny.
 Gorman's Minstrels.
 Germans minstrels will be at the opera house Wednesday evening. The Kansas City News says of this performance 'The attraction was Germans Spectacular Min strels, undoubtedly the best company of it's kind that has visited this city this sea son. Tho singing was good, especially that of the Quaker quartette. TheHdanc- ing musketeers is one of the minstrel specialties on the stage. The company is made up of stars. Every number on the programme was encored time after time bv the enthusiastic audience"

w. H. BARNUM'S BUSINESS.

The Veteran Politician Will Not Serve on
 the Nations al Committee Again.
 Says Hartford dispatch to the New Ha- ven Register It is announced on the au- thority of Editor Burr of the Hartford Times, who has long been political asso- ciate of William H. Barnum, that MT Bar mum will not again accept the chairman ship of the democratic national committed
 A statement was printed in New York paper that the Connecticut delegates to St Louis were chosen in the interest of MT Barnum's reappointment on the com mittee, and in reply to this the Times says editorially: ''It would be proper to place MT Barnum on the national committee, where he has had great experi- ence for eight years-that is, if he will con sent to act as member-but we are war ranted in saying that he will not accept the chairmanship again. His extensive private business interests occupy his entire time, and he cannot give his services as chair man of the national democratic committee for five consecutive months. The most he can do this year will be to meet with the committee at proper intervals and counsel with them. Whether he can be persuaded to accept this position is quite uncertain. 7

HARTFORD WOMEN HELD.

To be Tried Before the Superior Court sheriden Gets Thirty Days. The case of James Sheriden, charged ] with stabbing Patrick Hennessey in Quin- lans saloon in the Brooklyn district on Wenesday afternoon, April 25, came up in the police court this morning. Hennessey with swollen face and bandage around his neck, was put on the stand and testi- | fled that he and Sheriden, together with a man named John Doyle and man named Cunningham, sat down to play game of cards. During the game which is known | as forty-fve, Sheriden cheated and, Hen nessey jumping up, said he would pay for the drinks. A row ensued and he caught hold of Sheriden's nose and Sheriden stabbed him in the neck
 | Dr Axtelle testified that he attended to | the wounded man, who bled profusely and, | although the wound came very near the larger vessels of the neck, fortunately it did not penetrate any of them, and the man is now practically out of danger. Thomas Quinlan, the proprietor of the saloon testified that he put the men out of l the saloon and did not let them fight there. He heard scuff1e out side and when they returned Sheridan was bleeding around the mouth and nose Hennessey was bleeding | from wound in the neck
 Officer Dodds testified to arresting the prisoner. The court found him guilty and fined him $25 and sentenced him to 30 days in jail. An appeal was taken and the case goes over to November
 In the case of Mrs Martin and Ida Lewis, charged with seduction in enticing Mary Farnette to leave her home for the purpose of prostitution, the court denied motion to continue the case. Mrs Martin was put upon the stand and testified in her own be- half. She denied that she told Mary that she could make money by going to Hart ford. "Mary" she said, "was a very bad girl and had on several occasions ran away from home. Last spring she ran away with circus performer staia in | New Britain for a week. In September she ran away with young man employed at the Waterbury Watch companys factory and went to Willimantic where she re
 mained for three weeks. had no. inten
 tion of enticing her away, as I thought everything was all right. Mary told me
 that she was married in Hartford and w,
 wanted her to call and see us, when sh'
 went up there 9"

 Mrs Martin continuing, said she ha6
 been married eight years, had boy fv,
 years old and lived happily with her hus

 Ida Lewis, with bold, firm step walked up to the witness stand and re , peated what Mrs. Martin had said. Sh
 met the Farnette girl last June and as sh told her about her husband, she invited her to call and see her when she came t.
 Hartford. She went to Hartford ant stopped two weeks with her, remaining il
 the house during the day but at nigh going away withAvery. The court evi dently did not believe their story an, bound both of them over to the next tern of the superior court.

No General Observance in This or Other
 Cities in the State.
 Arbor day was not generally, observed yes terday. In this city there were appropriate exercises at the public schools, and in some instances trees and shrubs were planted. At the High school the pro pramme was very interesting but no trees were planted. The exercises were as fol lows:
 from Holmes, David Griggs, extract from Liberty Elm" George Blakeslee; "Tree Culture" Newton Phelan; "Under the Washington Elm," Miss Edna Hicks; "Planting of the Apple Tree, , Misses Clark and Patchen; ssTree Planting" William Beecher; 'sGod's First Temple" Miss Clara Bronson; "The Wayside Inn, an Apple Tree" William Bergen; "The White Oak and Its Neighbors," Charles Bronson; Joseph Anderson, jr.. read an essay entitled, sThe Tree Under Which Penn made His Treaty with the Indians" Miss tennis Dudley read history of 'sArbor Day. and John Courley an ac- count of the "Charter Oak"
 At Hartford, the schools being closed for a vacation, there was no general obser- vance. Eight black walnut trees, ten elms, l HA0sAACON on the capitol grounds and half dozen black walnut trees were planted in Bush nell park. The Times recalls the planting of trees on the capitol grounds last year by giving the following interesting reminis cense: It will be remembered that the mayors tree had a strong leaning toward the capitol, and that this caused consider able testing, as being typical of the politi cal ambition of the planter. Since tha time the young maple has veered to tht east, and is now leaning in the direction of the newly acquired Etna building. Car it be possible that this is typical of chang in the aspiration of the exmayor, and tha instead of desiring to occupy the guberna torial chair he will content himself in thu elaborate new quarters of his insurance company
 At Bridgeport, New Haven and othe cities the observance of the day was con fined to the schools.

Coffee Among the Arabs,

The great event of the visit is the
coffee. The host has a kind of brazen
shovel brought, in which he roasts the
beans; then he takes pestle and mortar
of the oak of Bsshan. and with his own
hands he pounds it 10 powder, making
the hard oak ring forth song Of well
eome to the guest. Many Of these
pesties and nlortars are heirloo-ls, and
ere richly ornamented and beautifully
black and polished by age and use; such
was the one in question. Having drunk
coffee for the honorei guest the cup IS
filed three times), you are quite safe in
the hands of the most numerous.
