Daniel Mcdonald, a well knomn tough,
who, during his as years. residence in
this section of the city has made himself
about as ugly as possible, last night
started in to clean up part OF Douglass
avenue. He was very drunk and he did
some tall boasting about his ability Of
fighting a clean path for himself TO Doug
lass, Mass, which IL a matter OF some 20
miles or SO. Whether he could do 1t
under certain circumstances or not Is not
known, but he didn't do 1t last night.
He got into q. Ii. Lovett's saloon on the
such characters so Mcdonald left there
in hurry. Officer Bates soon after got
a hold Of him and the supposed owner OF
the pike got ride to the Second police
station.
AT the latter place he was inclined to be
meaner even than usual, but he was
hustled into cell by the strong arms of
the officer on duty there. 1t was found
that the noisy warrior ha received cut
several inches long on his upper lip. DIR.
Z. +. Marston was summoned to sew up
the wound, but as Mcdonald Is some-
what particular about his appearance, and
as the sewing of the cut would have made
+ 1t necessary for him to sacrifice his
mustache he declined to have 1t done. Still,
Daniel won't have exactly the prettiest
upper lip In town for some days, as 1t
win be badly swollen.
Mcdonald kept up the present reputa-
tion OF the pugilistic profession by great
up.
Notwithstanding the storm last night
there was q good sized audience present
at the Old Folks concert given by the
Asbury Memorial M. T.. Church last even-
ing, and the entertainment, which was
given under the direction OF the church
choir was pleasant one. The follow
ing ''Lyste OF Settle Pieces. Figures and
Worldlye Tunes" was rendered:
"March of the men of Harlach, "Child
of Mortality" chorus; "Boston, Rain
Dow," chorus; reading, Miss Flora B.
Grant; "Russin," "Invitation. chorus;

diah," chorus; BLESSING" chorus;
"Auid Lang Syne," chorus and cong e.
cation.
Warner Turner was, "tymist," and
Mrs. Edith Kent Wheelwright was the
harpsichordist.
The ladies and gentlemen OF the chorus,
all OF whom sang well and dressed in old
time costumes made rretty pict-
ure In their march through the aisles
of the church. Miss Armour's solo was
finely done, and she received a richly de-
served encore. Miss Grants reading was
excellent. She has fine idea of the
comic and her gestures are natural and
mirtb provoking.
The pupils of the Immaculate Concep-
tion Church schools. assisted by members
of the church chorus, will give an enter
tainment in the school hall on ct.
Patrick's Gay.
