Ward Salad.
A call has been extended by the Heb
ron Baptist church to Rev. A. V. Sage,
of the First Baptist church of Perry, N.
7. Since the resignation of Rev. Mr..
Gamble, which took effect some ten
weeks ince, the Hebron church pulpit
has been filed alternately by the clergy
of the city. Mr.. Sage is a gentleman
we'll known in church circles in New
York, and has been pastor of the Perry
church for the past five years. 1t is not
known at present whether the reverend
gentleman will accept the call.
James Severson, a gay young man,
celebrated his nineteenth birthday by
getting hilariouSly full, the result of
which was that he started out for tour
nationality, the heroic deeds of his an
cestors and his ability to whip his
weight in wildcats. When last seen he
was being led home across the Robert
street street bridge in grotesquely
CORY condition. He had struck snag.
A curious exemplifcation of the way
in which surgical methods and opinions
differ is found in the case of George
Wright, the driver of the West Side
hook and ladder truck, who sustained
serious injuries in the recent accident.
The first professional gentleman Oh the
ground made curSOry examination of
the injured limb, and declared amputa-
ton to be an absolute necessity. Sur
geOn number two refused to sanction
the proposed operation, saying that the
limb could be saved. He was supported
in his opinion by several members of
and the attempt to save the mans leg
has resulted in success beyond all ex-
pectations. Had the somewhat hasty
Judgment of the first surgeon been
acted upon, Wright would now have
been minus a leg, which bids fair at
this writing to be almost, if not quite
as good as its mate.
: Three more police alarms have been
put in on the West Side, one on the
corner of Dakota avenue and Augusta
street, another corner Fairfield and
Daniels streets, and third corner of
Dakota avenue and DeIos street. In
Guiding these additions six alarm boxes
have been put in on the West Side il
two weeks.

Work will be resumed on the Beifeld
block on South Robert street next week

crease its working force at the West
side mandatory from eighty-fve men
to 1875 in the next few weeks.
A largely increased force of men is at
work on the WabaSha bridge, the car
rier is completed and in operation, and
the work is progressing much faster
than formerly. At the present rate of
progress the iron work of the up town
bridge will be completed about mid
summer.
West side physicians assert that the
diphtheria and epidemic which has been
general in West st. Paul for many
children, is directly traceable to over
crowding in the homes of the victims
A physician who was called yesterday
to attend case of fever on the hill
found the atmosphere of the sick room
so Initiated as to be almost unbearable.
In some houses of only five rooms are
found three families and a multitude of
children, whose escape from the rayages
of the prevailing disease is little short
of miraculous.
The fences and chairs in Athletic
park, which have been damaged by
youthful intruders, will be repaired in
few days, and the ground put in shape
for the seasons work.
The driver of delivery wagon was
seen yesterday by number of persons
on Plato avenue Yesterday brutally i'll
treating horse. The case has been re-
ported to the S. P. G. A., and the man
will in all probability receive the pun
ishment he deserves.
Residents Oh Eaton avenue intend
making vigorous effort to secure the
grading of that street, which during last
season was rendered almost impossible
by the pools of stagnant and putrid
water accommodating thereon. An at
tempt will also be made to compel the
owners of several lots on that street to
fill them to grade level for similar
reasons. The causes mentioned are re-
garded as directly responsible for much
of the sickness last summer.

pacity of $50. The building, when COM
pleted, will cost in the neighborhood OF

The struggling members of the Citi-
zens' union of West st. Paul have been
rounded up. and the hall over the
Thompson block will resound this even
ing with forclble oratory regarding the
projected Broadway-State street bridge.

ment is almost unanimously in lavor of
