A queer spectacle was that presented
at the home Lucius G0Odall, a cOlored
man residing at 15S Indiana avenue,
West st. Paul, yesterday. Side by side
stood Seth Austin, a coal-black negro.
and Rebecca Peterson, fair-haired
Swede girl. They were there to be
married, and m arried they were, in a
very few moments from the time of
their advent in the Goodall household.
The dusky groom leaned over the high
collar he wore, and kissed the white
cheek of the bride to seal the contract,
and the dusky bridesmaids pressed
round her with congratulations. The
white persons present were Mrs. Lucius
GOOdall. who is also the wife of a col
Ored man. and younger sister OF the
bride. The parents of the girl who has
thus allied herself are residents OF Chi
cagO, and are acquainted with the
facts.
r. c. Elwiss, the milk peddler whose
wife secured divorce from him few
weeks ago, is now sorry he didn't make
some opposition to the proceedings.
The couple have been living together
since the divorce was granted until
few days ago, when, the division of the
properly having been completed, Mrs.
ElWiss hied herself to the residence of
the jackson boys, and has since been
keeping house for them. The JacksOns
were former partners of Elwiss, and to
them he attributes much of his trouble.
Elwiss says he still loves his ex-wife,
and hopes that all differences between
them. the divorce included, may finally
be adjusted. Elwiss has been residing
since the exodus with one Of his sons.
A new scheme, which has taken a
hold on the popular fancy in West st.
Paul, is for the establishment of
young mems club. The idea is one
which has been under disussiOn for
some months, and is expected to assume
definite shape during next week, when
a meeting is to he called to take action
in the matter. The proposed Organiza-
ton is to be purely Of social character,
the constitution to be on lines similar
to that of the Irish-American club OF
this city. Regarding club quarters, the
purchase of the residence OF j. n. Will
gus, Anita and Winifred streets, is
talked of. the property being in the
market and in every way suitable for
the purposes OF the new club. 1t is in
tended to charge aninitiation fee OF $50
and annual dues of $40.
The park commission have fixed on a
park site for West st. Paul. the prop
erty comprising all entire block in Ban
ming Il Olivier's addition. situate be-
tween Baker and Morton streets on
Mohawk avenue. The proposed lOca-
ton is one of the finest, as regards nat
ural beauty, to be found in the city, and
commands an extended view. With the
opening of the new bridge, the avenue
will be built up rapidly, and it is safe
to predict that the Mohawk Avenue
park will become favOrite Sunday and
evening resort for West siders. The
site will cost $4,000.
Plans will be submitted during this
week for new church to be erected at
Isabel and Starkey streets for the
Church of the Ascension. Consider
able discussion has occurred as to the
most favorable site for the new struc
ture, which resulted in the final selec
ton Of two lots on George street, do
mated by s. Deering. The lots on which
the present building stands will be sold
to defray expenses of the new one.
Complaints of the insuficiency of the
present street-sprinkling system on the
West side are frequent and vigorous.
An investigation shows that they are
also just, and except on a few Of the
main streets the system, so far as West
St. Paul is concerned. is flat failure.
On windy days Congress street is
perfect dust cloud from end to end, as,
are many other residence streets in the
vicinity, The residents are getting on
their war paint, and want water or
gore.
A prolific field for research by the
Sixth ward health officer are the yards
in the rear of several business blocks
on Dakota avenue, One of these in
particular is filled with an infinity of
sickening OdOr. The roOmers in the
upper portions of these blocks are in
the habit of throwing all household
refuse over the rails into the yard. and
the result is series Of disease-breed-
ing areas. With such fostering spots
as these allowed to remain undiSturbed
through the warm weather, the wonder
is not that diphtherias and fevers of
various kinds exist, but that the whole
neighbOrhOOd is not infected. There is
fever enough in one of these places to
kill a regiment of soldiers in few
days.
An attempt was made about o'clock
last night to rob the residence of Fred
Lehmen in West St Paul. An alarm
was given, however, before the; project
could be carried through, and three
men. Mike Sauber. A. Bughia, and a
man named Monticenno were arrested
for the crime. They will have hearing
this morning.
