CALEDONIANS CELEBR ATE.
A Midwinter Festival--General
Social Notes

The midwinter entertainment of the
CaledOnian club took place last night,
and as usual in ali performances given
under the auspices of this society, the
artists who took part had the pleasure
of appearing before large and appre-
ciative audience. One of the earliest to
appear was Jennie Potter, the public
reader, in recitation called "The Con-
Vict'S Christmas Eve" Jennie Potter
is gifted with bell-like voice, a good.
healthy dramatic style, and seems to i'm
prove as one hears her more. Locally
she is becoming quite favorite, and
during the past few weeks has been in
undated with dates" to appear in pub
lie. Last night she was encOred heartily
and responded with a comical skit
about boy who suffered and who had
a friend who ate up his mother-in-law.
and found her nice for the first time,
Mrs. Walter De Mers' singing of that
pretty ballad, Bonnie Sweet Bessie"
was highly appreciated and deserved
all the praise given it. The duet by
Misses Deucie and Florence Gilmore
was very good and enjoyed immensely.
All the other artists, Prof. Edwards,
Miss Bittenger acquitted themselves in
first-class style and all around the en-
tertainment is one that will be long re-
membered by all who participated.
The dance that followed was kept up
for long time and was the gay ending
of very pleasant evening. The man
agement seemed little neglectful of
the comfort of their patrons i'm
not having the elevator run after s

bitterly OF having to climb up the many

ALL SORTS.

The labor organizations have decided
to keep their finger out of the police
commissionership pie. In other words,
the workingmen do not mean to attempt
to ''shake down" the Democrats for the
benefit of the Republicans directly, and
two or three interested individuals in

MUST HAVE TESTIMONY
To Decide Whether the Switching
CHARGES Order Is Unreasonable

When court opened yesterday morn
ing in Judge Young's court room, the
argument in the matter of the appeal of
the Minneapolis q st. Louis Railway
company from the order of the ware
house and railroad commission, fixing
all switching charges at 81 per car, was
continued. Judge Springer, attorney for
the Minneapolis & st. Louis, had re-
ceived a reinforcement in the person of
Judge Grover, attorney for the st. Paul.
Minneapolis & Manitoba; Judge Norris,
attorney for the Chicago, Milwaukee 81
Paul; and Judge Howe, attorney
for the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
Il Omaha. The court, after listening to
arguments from the counsel the entire
day, decided that in order to fully I'M
derStand the matter the railway COM
panies should introduce testimony to
show that the order was unreasonable
and against public policy, and Tuesday,
Feb. 2S was the time set for hearing the
testimony. The court intimated that
the order which was issued was so
faulty in its construction that it was al
most impossible to understand what
was intended when the order was
issued.

concerning his views Oh tariff reform,
probably. Freddy" who is on the look
out for his brother Frank, had been in

then that he confronted the reporter
with gun. But one sight of the starye-

HIGH WATERS.
Western Massachusetts Deluged
With a SprinG Freshet.

ttn Il spring EFeSnet.
PALMER, Mass, Feb. 21.-The worst
freshet in the annals of this section of
Western Massachusetts occurred last
night, resulting in much damage to
property. The rivers in this town, upon
which the industries are dependent for
power. have been clOgged with ice,
while water has risen rapidly. Last
night the Quabaug river overlooked its
banks, causing great destruction.
Crowds Of people remained out all
night to protect property. The mead
ows for distance of five miles are COW
cred with eight or ten feet of water,
while ice is piled up in some places
twenty and twenty-five feet, and the
water was rising rapidly this morning,
but it is now gradually subsiding, and
no further damage is liable to result.
Several factories are either seriously
impeded OF shut down altogether; eel
lars containing goods are full of water;
several bridges have been washed away
or weakened, interfering with trains
and country travel, and telegraph lines
have been Frustrated.

OF course some of the goods which are
supposed to be a total loss may be
found to be of some value when exam
ined after the water has run off, but it
is hardly probable.
There were one or two narrow escapes
from injury by falling glass, but as far
