gentlemen named, the efficient chief of

that every one in attendance had all the
dancing they desired. The committee OF
arrangements, of which Francis G. Black
was the efficient chairman, was very
much in evidence in the excellent man
ner IN which all the details Of the social

The bad effects Of two days hot spell
were early brought'to the attention Of the
police Of the Second station iest even
ing. The first rarity to call Tor the SER
vices Of the officers was Alfred PolIner,
who rushed into the station with con-
siderable portion OF Shawnut street on
his clothing and claimed that some one
bad assaulted him and then used him as
a broom. Mr. Poliner's appearance sub
stantiafed his claim, and the police will,
uuless that gentlensn's gooC nature gets
tno best of him, arrest his assailant to-
night.
Another visitor to the station was lit
Tie girl who said that Owen Goodwin was
making little too much noise on Shove
street. Ofbcers Galligan and Doe went
ont TO see what was troubling Owen and
found he had taken too many alcoholic
coolers. The police cared for him.
James Leach thought life on Jenkins
street too slow, so he started in at a about
10, O'CLOCK TO liyen the neighborhood up.
He began by shouting and assaulting his
ather-in law, James III. Butler, and
would probably have tried to clean out
The street had not officers McElroy aud
Hunt heard his shouts and arrested him.
Somebody in Peter Duff's tenement on
Derry street got into an alteration con-
cerning the weather last night and officer
Hennessey's services were required TO in
form the party that there was an infall-
ible test of the weather at the corner of
Ashburton street and Gladstone avenue.
Then the trouble ceased.
Officer McGovern has been looking pale
for the last few days, and his friends have
been thinking of advising him to take
the kind-thst-cures spring medicine, but
the cause Of his lack OF color is now
known. He was last evening initiated as
a member of Elmhurst, Council, X. Of

the roses from his cheeks.

box as at 5:3s o'clock last evening for
fire In an ash bin in he rear of 43 Doug
lass avenue. The blaze extended to q
wood shed just above the repository of
the ashes, but the damage was small and
the chemical apparatus extiDguished the
blaze. 1t was ho mistake to ring the
alarm for the fire started In dangerous
spot, as there was barn in which were
some very fine carriages and there was
also right in the rear OF the fire a large
tenement house. Robert Pettis owned
the shed and barns and the damaged
property was leased by Albert Johnson
and others. y
A North Ender last night f6olishly left
tho protection of Lieutenant Murray's
men and went down to the corner Of
Hope and Tbayer streets. He was accost-
ed by two ugly looking fellows one OF
whom asked for match. When that was
given the up to this time silent partner
asked for a nickel but the North Ender
refused TO contribute. Then the man who
asked for the match, IN order to keep up
his reputation for modesty, asked for the
time. The man who had given the
match was afraid this was a sort of covert
attempt to get his watch SO he concluded
to get back to the North End and he did
not feel sure he could win in walk, so
he started TO run and claims his pursuers
followed him almost to Randall square.
William Pollock claims that his four
year-old daughter was bitten by dog at
the corner of Nichols and Walling streets,

showed that those in charge OF the con-

their patrons. Among the entertainers
were: Miss Annie Dunn, reader; Sig. Pet
