nue.. Two sisters, named Della anu
Mary Strausman, were out driving in a
two-wheeled cart and leaning their full
weight against the back OF the seat.
Suddenly the back gave way with q
crash. Mary said "ouch," and turned
a complete sOmersault over the back o.
the vehicle, landing squarely on her
feet, to the surprise and merriment OF a
, group of bystanders and her sister, who
had managed to retain her balance and
stop the horse. Mary was assisted to
re-em bark, and the procession moved
on.
Norris Brady, all itinerant fruit dealer,
while peddling his wares on the flats in
West st. Paul Yesterday morning, sud-
denly fell from his wagon to the
ground, where he lay writhing and
frothlng at the mouth as though in great
agony. He recovered with the aid OF
several bystanderS. and stated that he
was subject to epileptic fits of violent
character. Brady is a healthy looking
man, and states that he has had the best
of medical treatment in the hope OF
being cured of the fits, but without
avail.
The quarterly reception held last
evening at the West Side Y. M. c. A.
was attended by about one hundred
young folks, besides a number OF mar
ried people. An excellent musical pro-
gramme had been prepared, consisting
of several piano selections by Prof.
Leopold, cornet solos by E. ii. Smith
and others. Among the ladies who par
ticipated were Mesdames George Hos
mer. H. W. Hunt, f. B. D0ran, E. +.
Chapman and others. Some excellent
vocal music was also given.
An attempt was made early yester-
day morning to rob the confectionery
store Of Henry Burkman on Dakota
avenue. A plank was placed at one OF
the upper windows of the building, and
one of the men had commenced the as
cent when the noise made betrayed
their presence to the occupants and the
marauders decamped.
Fire broke out Wednesday night in a
barn on Annapolis street, owned by w.
S. GOetz. The flames originated in
pile of hay in the loft of the building.
Prompt action on the part of neighbOrS
saved the structure, the flames being
quickly extinguished.
Unless prompt measures are taken
for the repair of the roadway on the
Robert street bridge, serious accident
will result. In some places the plank
ing is worn so thin that whenever a
loaded wagon passes over it there is
danger of its breaking through. The
patching done this spring does not by
any means fill the bill.
The West st. Paul Loan and Building
association directors will hold meet
ing at the Office of W. X. Hawthorne
over the West Side bank on Saturday
evening.
The Citizens union will meet to-mOr-
ROW evening. A full attendance is de-
sired.
. The bus lines, which for time did a
heavy trade by running in opposition to
the street cars on the West side lines,
fliave been withdrawn, and the regular
traffic is now flowing in the old chan
.Iels.

The vagaries of the Salvation Army
detail in West St. Paul, and the howls
of derisiOn from the toughs and hood
lums who congregate in the vicinity
every night, are causing loud complaint
from residents OH that portion of Con-
cord street frequented by the soldiery.
